Counselor position filled
cepted as a person in return.
Ms. Simmons is still undergoing orientation and is not yet
assigned to a particular department or to a particular group of
students as an advisor. She said
she is just settling into her office
in the Center Building and is visiting different deputments to learn
what LCC is all about.
Ms. Simmons comes to LCC with
a doctorate degree in-counseling
psychology and a masters of education in Special Education from
the U of O. She received her BA
from Philander-Smith College in
Little Rock, Arksansas.
Before coming to Eugene to the
U of O on a Graduate Experienced
Teachers Fellowship in 1969 Ms.
Simmons taught elementary school
for eight years. She spent three
years teaching in schools for A.rmy
dependents at Bitburg and Trier,
Germany, while her husband was
stationed there.
Education was not her first
choice for a career. Ms. Simmons
explained that she was forced into
education becuase in the state in
which she was born, (Arkansas)
minority peoples had only two
choices open
to them in employment: : In the fields of medicine or education. Her family was
in education, so she chose it instead of being unrealistic and trying for a career in the business
world. "I chose a field in which
I could get a job. The reality
was that Black men in that state
could not get good jobs. Wives
naturally accepted the fact of working."

by Maureen ~ieber

"I don't want to perpetuate the
stereotypes - it's been part of
the system - I am a counselor
that can counsel any student who
comes here. I happen to be a
woman, I happen to be Black."
Gladys Simmons, LCC's newest
counselor, was open and emphatic
in her statement. She accepts others as people (no as shapes or
colors) and she expects to be acLCC faculty and classified staff will vote on Feb.
20 to decide whether the Oregon Educ at ion association
(OEA) or the American Federation of Teachers (AFT)
will represent them for collective bargaining purposes.
Any contracted faculty member working 1/2 time or more
will be able to choose between
the A.FT, OEA, and no representation.
Classified staff will vote
at the same time between
the AFT and no representation.
According to a newsletter
released by the Federation
Jan. ,22, "In order to get
an election date, both la:.>or organizations agreed to
the administration's position
that only contracted members
would vote in faculty sec tion."

In addition to a broad educational background, Ms. Simmons has
been involved in several community programs. She has counseled
at the Women's Transient Living
Center here in Eugene and was
on the advisory boards of Lane
County
Mental Health Assoc.,
Planned Parenthood assoc., Upward Bound, and the High School
Equivalency Program at the U of O.
Ms. Simmons has been active
in putting on workshops in prison
corrections, and- believes in fol-

lowing through by putting theory
into practice: She has worked in
programs at the Oregon State Correctional Institute, the Oregon
State Penitentiary and the Newgate program by providing educational opportunities for those
serving sentences.
Jonathon West, coordinator of
LCC's Affirmative Action Program, was very pleased with the
selection of Ms. Simmons as a
counselor.
"We want a wellrounded staff of counselors, and
we now have four women out of
14 counselors in that department.
Now we also have three minorities represented - Native Americans, Chicanos, and Blacks."
West said that the LCC Board
of Education's statement on Affirmative action is:
"The Board of Education is aware that discrimination exists
at Lane Community College as it
does throughout the world. Differences of race, creed, sex age and
nationality are but majo; excuses
given for the unequal treatment
of human beings. Whatever the rea- .
sons may be, discrimination is a
destructive practice for ~.11 parties.
"Fea and pride are the underlying emotional causes of discrimination and only years of effort
and experience can alter these
feelings.
"However, if we cannot quicklv
change the underlying ,causes,
_then we can deal with their m:rnifestations. For this reason the
B?a rd wholeheartedly supports
this Affirmative A ct ion Plan.
Furthermore, we want this plan
to evolve with current practice
to ensure that it remains an ef
fective tool in combating the cancer of discrimination.''
.
Ms. Simmons commented on the
LCC Affirmative Action Policy
saying, "I don't want it to b~
perceived that I am a Black counselor - I am a counselor for
all students. Counselors of all
colors should be here and the
students can ultilize them, but
we are counselors for all students."

Leaves Senate post vacant

Simmons resigns as
2nd Vice President
Dave Simmons, ASLCC Second
Vice President, announced his resignation
"effective four weeks
from today, on March 4, to pursue my educational and political
goals." He added, "I'm through
with my goals in student government."
Hi~ political goal, he said, is
running in the May primary for the
Oregon state legislature. He will
be running in the blank District
against incumbent Craig Stilts, a
former LCC student.Simmons said
he will be starting his campaign
in about a month and that he will
be "out talking a lot."
His main goal in the student
orandum from Simmons to the
ASL CC Senate, was ''to point out
that activities could happen and that

Marijuana reform law proves successful
(CPS)--The results of Oregon's three month old
marijuana reform law has so far seemed to vindicate the advocates of liberalized laws.
Many law enforcement officials and prosecutors
have rP.p!)rted they are pleased with the new law
and the courts have ceased to be crowded with
marijuana cases o The startiing effects predicted by
cppcn~nts of liberalization have failerl to materialize: the state hasn't become a "haven" for users
and pushers. Marijuana dealers have indicated
prices, supply and demand are running about normal
for this time of year.
The new law, passed by the state's Legislature
in early 1973 after a lengthy debate, doesn't fully
legalize possession, but makes the offense more
like a. traffic violation than a "crime." The maximum penalty for possession of an ounce or less
is a $100 fine by citation, regardless of the numbe
of convictions. And there is no criminal record.
Previously the maximum was a year in prison
and $1000 for the first conviction, and 10 years
and $2500 for repeats.

Officlals in Portland and Eugene have said that
the new law is "a good thing.'
Portland's senior deputy district attorney said
the courts weren't prosecuting marijuana cases consistantly anyway, and that complete legislation
may only be a few years away. According to the
DA about 40 citations have been issued in the city
since the law went into effect October 5, and those
went to people smoking in public places. Most
of those cited have pleaded guilty and received
light fines, he said.
One Porland judge has publicly stated that he
won't fine anyone who pleads guilty and is willing
to do 24 hours of community service work.
a Portland marijuana dealer told the Associated Press that it is too early to tell the effects
of the law on the market, particularly since supplies
are currently of high quality and "getting easy to
come by again be cause of the harvest in Mexico.' '
Despite the liberalized law, there remains stiff
penalties for the possession of more than w ounce
of marijuana and for its sale.

they could be cultural, educational,
by students. This has been demonstrated in my estimation he
said, "with weekly films, conc~rts 1
and dances.''
He also said that he wants to ,
work on students' rights. "I don't
need the student government to
do that; student government hampers me."
" Simm?ns went on to say that
the People (in student government) _don't work together all the
time. . . they' re all spread out
in different directions trying to
get so_
mething done. But they (the
Senate) have the same intent: they
a.11 W'lat to do something good.''
Another goal that Simmons mentioned to pursue at the outset of
his appointment w,i.s to improve
student government. The whole
problem
as
he saw it that "activities weren't coordinated enough-communication
with students can
be greatly improved through activities.' '
He said that the
"only thing I wanted to prove is that
things could get
done in a professional way - in my
department of _activities, they have
been.' ' He also added, "I want the
student government
to be professional
wd functional.'
~arry Hood, ASLCC president,
said that he was "very surprised.
I had no idea that Dave intended
to resign.'' He added that ''Dave
has had significantly more energy
than a lot of us, and his activities prove that."
Hood said that he does not have
a replacement for the position yet.

old order and to install new, Communist-infiltrated
governments in power.
In Britain the Communists control 10 per cent
of the important posts in the major trade unions.
The intelligence reports show that the Communist
parties in Western Europe received instructions from
Moscow to exploit the oil crisis and to stir up class
warfare.
But there is new evidence that the Kremlin has
now changed its tune.
More recent intelligence
reports indicate that the Soviets fear the economic
dislocations could caus·e Europeans to turn to the
right rather than the left.
Suddenly, there is concern in the Kremlin that
Europe's economic troubles could bring right-wing
governments to power.
Dark Clouds: Meanwhile, the economic clouds
over Europe are dark and ominous. Throughout
Western Europe, living costs are soaring and unemployment is rising. Workers, who used to collect
for overtime, are now on part-time. Fewer jobs are
available for young people leaving school.
The recession which is building up here in
Europe, could be the beginning of a worldwide depression. The tripling of oil prices has caused a
severe economic setback in most nations. It has
also caused the producers of other raw materials
to talk about pulling similar price squeezes.
Many European economists believe that 1973 was
the end of the era of plenty. In 1974, Europe may
be entering a new era of shortages.
The law of supply and demand, inevitably, will
push up prices. This will mean that only the wealthy
will be able to afford goods that used to be available
to the masses.
But the masses have become accustomed to their
TV sets, refrigerators and motor cars. Ratherthan
give up their small luxuries, they almost certainly
will demand higher and higher wages.
As many economists see it, the poor either must
give up hope of escaping their poverty, or achieve a
massive redistribution of income. If these econo- .
mists are right, the next few years will bring tremen-

Thank goodness! The whole Watergate mess is over at last and
we don't have to talk about it ever again. Mr. Nixon is totally innocent.
And, what's more, he's got the evidence to prove it.
Senator Hugh Scott was the first to say he saw it. He said he couldn't
say what it was. "But I saw what I saw,' ' he said firmly, "and I am
what I am and I stand on what I said.' '
As if that weren't enough, Vice President Ford said last week
that Mr. Nixon, himself, had shown him the evidence and it certainly
looked good - even though he hadn't gotten around to reading it yet.
(Friends said his lips were tired.)
Moreover, numerous reporters said White House aides had called
to tell them about it. The aides said they couldn't say what it was and
they hadn't read it, either, but the reporters were perfectly free to
write about it - if they quoted "unidentified sources.' '
It was no surprise, then, when a score of White House tourists
disclosed that an usher at the East Portico had shown theni the evidence last Friday. "He whipped it out from under his coat and let us
look at it for at least ten seconds,' said Miss Elmira Gotch of Bismark, Ohio. "It sure appeared convincing to me."
So there's no question evidence of Mr. Nixon's innocence exists.
And his admirable restraint in making it public should be an inspiration to us all. It certainly inspired Fred Frisbee.
Fred went out to buy a pint of ice cream last Friday night and
returned home at 4 a.m. Sunday. His wife; Felicia, was understandably perturbed.
''There's lipstick on your collar,'' she noted, "booze on your
breath and, I trust, guilt on your soul.'
"I am totally innocent," replied Fred with dignity. "And I have
the evidence to prove it."
"What evidence?" demanded Felicia.
Fred removed a document from his breast pocket, waved it under
her nose and replaced it carefully. "There," he said. "Now are you
satisfied?' '

"What on earth was that ?" she asked
" The evidence

Just then the phone rang. It was _F red's best friend, Hugh. "I
just wanted you to know, Felicia," he said, "that Gerry and I have
seen Fred's evidence and we agree he's completely innocent.''
"But what's in it?" asked Felicia, her voice rising.
"Why, the evidence of his innocence, of course," replied Hugh.
This was followed by several anonymous phone callers - all
assuring FeHcia they knew for a fact the evidence existed. and she
could quote them on it.

Media Commission reviews
membership -ratio policy
The Media Commission is currently in the process of examining its own membership ratio
of students, staff, and administrators.
Although no formal complaint
has been lodged with the commission concerning its present
student representation, Commission Chairman Art Tegger, on his
own initiative, has called for an
increased number of student representatives on the body.
Primarily, the commissionconcerns itself with matters of student publication operation and does
not involve itself in matters of
day-to-day affairs of the TORCH
or Concrete Statment (the LCC
student literary arts magazine).
The commission acts rather as
"an appeal and review board ... responsible to the LCC Board of Education.'' It operates by a set of
guidelines and the Oregon Journalism Code of Ethics.
Tegger's poposal for restructuring was initiated by a memorandum dated Dec. 7. Two concepts concerning the .selection
of members were proposed.
One of the proposals was considered at the Jan. 24 meeting and
will be read and voted on a final
time at the next commission meeting (no date has been set at this
point). It would leave the TORCH
and Concrete Statement editors
as voting members while increasing student representation through
the election or appointment of two
or three additional students. Currently, there are six student positions, including the two editors,
seven LCC staff members, and
one administrator on the board.
Although representation on the
commission was equally divided at
its conception between students and
staff, last year saw a decrease
in the number of students seated
on the commission:
"I don't know if there was a
lack of student interest," said

Tegger, but he felt that a reevaluation now of the Media Com mission's student representation
was a "needed re.form."
Another idea, although rejected
at the Jan. 24 commission meeting,
was to give three of the "exoffic;io members (members by virtue of their positions) a nonvoting status_," namely the two
advisers of the newspaper and
magazine, as well as the chairman of the Mass Communication
Department. This concept would
eliminate the current imbalance,
Tegger said.
"My goal in suggesting these alternatives is to get a more equal
student-staff representation, to
control the commission size, and
to open the commission to divergent views," stated .Tegger in his
memo.

Rationing plan may hit students

(CPS)--If gasoline rationing becomes a reality
the nation's 1.6 million students who are attending
out-of-state schools may have to go home an extra
four times each year just to pick up their allotment
of rationing coupons.
That's the way the Federal Energy Office's
(FEO) proposal for a contingency rationing plan now
reads, although energy officials stress the plan
is still under study and suggestions for "refinements in the system" are welcome.
Under the plan, in the event gasoline rationing
•becomes necessary,. any licens·ed driver 18 or older
would be eligible to receive an authorization card
which, when presented every three months together
with a driver's license, would entitle the driver to
receive a quarterly supply of rationing coupons.
The hitch for out-of-state students is the proviso
that, "coupons must be picked up in the same
state in which the driver's license and authorization cards were issued.'·
The only exception to that rule applies to military personnel who "would be allowed to pick up
coupons in their present state of residence by
presenting military identification cards in addition
to their out-of-state driver's licenses and authorization cards.''
One energy official said the agency was aware
of the inconvenience the plan would likely cause

Need for student voice cited
"The Student Rights Commission has no rules, we're here
to talk about student rights," said
Commissioner Peter Hale, at the
first meeting of the Student Rights
Commission (SRC) last week.
Although • the attendance was
sparse (8 to 10 students present)
participation by those present resulted in some directions for the
newly-formed commission. Citing
a lack of communication among
students, Hale stated a need for
a student "bargaining arm'' to
negotiate with the administration
concerning decisions about policies directly affecting the liv~s
of students at LCC. "There is
• no established administrative policy. Whatever the administration
does is policy," Hale said.
One suggestion by the Commission involved student evaluation
of instructors. Classroom evaluations are in practice now at LCC,
but the final information is not
available to students. The results
of these evaluations, theSRC feels,

for thousands of students, and that FEO was considering alternative means by which out-of-state
students could pi.ck up their coupons, possibly through
the cooperation of college and university administration.
The official stressed that the agency genuinely
wants to hear and consider the views of all persons
who would be affected by rationing, and that the
provisions of the proposed plan are not as yet
final.
However, the deadline for submitting comments
and suggestions was January 30. Although this deadline is not inflexible, those who have something
to say should waste no time in sending a card
or letter to: William E. Simon, administrator,
Box GR, Federal Energy Office, 1016 16th St., N.W.
Washington, DC 20036.
The National Student Lobby and the National
Student Association were among the first groups
to oppose the provision requiring students to obtain
rationing coupons in their home states.
"Imagine students driving from Michigan to
New York City or further to pick up rationing
coupons four times a year,' ' said Arthur Rodbell
of the National Student Lobby, " .. .. it constitutes
an outrageous waste of energy resources," he
said.

of martial music played by the United States Army Band. He
chose to have the oath of office administered to him by a judge
of the Military Court of Appeals. So far has the constitutional
tradition of military separation and subordination to civilian
institutions -been obscured that now a man of military mien is
cast in the role of the chief civilian law enforcement of the land.
Since 1937, and throughout his entire political career,
William Saxbe has been a .member of the Ohio National Guard,
and of its shadow organization, the National Guard of the United
States. Until shortly before his election to the United States
Senate in 1968, Saxbe remained in active status with the
National Guard. In 1968, whether because of the impropriety of
military-civilian entanglements, or simply because of the inconvenience of attending to active National Guard duties (particularly from the distance of Washington), Saxbe secured assignment to "inactive' status. While thus freeing himself from
responsibility in connection with the routine affairs of the GuardJ
Colonel Saxbe retained his commission and remains in law, a
member of the military forces.
Saxoe's a;>pointment is only one of several instances in
which American government leaders recently have exhibited
either ignorance or disdain for the constitutional tradition of
• military separation and subordination. Reserve military officers presently occupy more than 100 seats in the Congress.
An Army General on active duty, Alexander Haig, was installed
as White House Chief of Staff. In the Pentagon-, despite legislation enacted to insure civilian control over the military, 20 per
cent of the Deputy Assistant Secretaries of Defense are now
military officers--four times the proportion of a decade ago.
The appointment and confirmation now of a military officer
as one of the most important policy-making officials in the
executive branch--the Attorney General--is certainly a compelling reason for citizens to take a closer look at the roots

Until the Civil War, while most of the time a regular military

army was limited to fewer than 2,000 men; in 1815 it was

The Concrete Statement, LCC's
literary arts magazine, will not go
to press until the end of the
Winter Term, according to the
magazine's current editor Lonnie
Laughlin.

Laughlin will edit only the current issue under the Literary Arts
Club's recently adopted policy of
three editors per year. , •. He said
that the editorship should be a
"learning situation'' shared by
several club members and not under one person's direction for the
entire year. The current issue was

coming along well ''but was still
in need of additional art, photography, and graphic pieces. A
price for this issue '' remains
speculative," but will probably be
more expensive than previous issues "due to increased publication
costs and the expanded size of
the m ;, g-azine (currently estimated
at around 80 pages)."
Any further issue of the Concrete Statement this year will
depend largely on "time and money" Laughlin said, although there
1s some speculation that a second
issue would contain only poetry.

Titans gaifl weekend split
Inconsistency, a trait that has
marked the Titans in basketball 1
action thus far in the season, continued to plague them over the
weekend. Friday night the Titans
fell to Judson Baptist of Portland, a second division team, 85
to 83 in overtime, only to come
back Saturday night to hand the
league 1ea ding SWOCC Lakers
their second loss of the season
by a score of 79 to 75.
Rob Smith, returning to , action
after missing one game due to
a severe cold, poured in 29 points
in the losing cause Friday night.

Baptist ahead by four with 1:20
left to play. Smith answered one
of the baskets but Lane couldn't
find the range again, missing two
shots in the last 18 seconds.
Saturday night the Titans took
advantage of a defensive switch
by the Southwestern Oregon Community College Lakers to pull
away in the second half and hang
on for the win.
The score was tied at 34-all
at the half, with both teams playing tight defense and shooting well
over 50 per cent from the field.
Davy Ohmer's 10 points in the

Titans crash boards
He was supported by three other
Titans in double figures led by
Mike Reinhart's 18.
The big breakdown came, according to Coach Dale Bates, on
defense, however. Bates said, "I'm
upset, we're third in the league
defense and we let them score
85 on us.''
The score was knotted at 77
to 77 at the end of regulation play,
sending the game into overtime.
Rob Smith opened the extra period
with a basket but Steve Temple
and Ray Perkins scored to send
Judson Baptist into the lead. Wayne
Shelton scored on a driving layin to tie the game at 81 all, the
last time the Titans were to be
tied for the lead.

first half, on a sizzling 5 of 7
from the field, kept Lane in the
game in the opening minutes. His
scoring opened up the inside, allowing Rob Smith and Mike Reinhart to work free for 8 points
each on moves close to the basket.
The second half saw SWOCC open
in a zone defense in an attempt
to shut off the passes to Smith
and Reinhart. The strategy was
working, but so was Lane's tight
man-to-man at the other end of the
court.
Both teams traded baskets in the
early going, mostly on long bombs
from the perimeter of the defens- :
es. With 3 1/2 minutes gone in
the half the Lakers came out of
their zone and tried to pie k up
the Titans in a man-to-man coverage. The move backfired, how-

ever, as the Titans reeled off
20 points while holding the Lakers
to just 8.
Leading by 12, 60 to 48 with
just over 10 minutes left to play
in the game, the Titans seemed to
lose some of their concentration.
SWOCC took note of that lapse and
scored nine unanswered points to
get back into the game. Coach
Bates called time out to regroup
his forces but when play was resumed, Lane leading 60 to 57, the
Lakers continued their drive to
pull within one at 64 to 63.

At this point, Wayne Shelton:
who had been playing steady but
- unspectacular ball for the Titans
earlier in the game, brought out
his one man show. In the next
four minutes Shelton scored twice
on fast breaks, hit five of seven
foul shots, fouled out the man
guarding him, and hauled down
three rebounds.
Two free throws by Shelton with
1:23 remaining in the game gave
Lane an eight point lead, 77 to
69. Two foul shots by Dan Henderson and a pair of buckets by
Charlie McClure brought the Lakers to within two, 77 to 75, with
11 seconds to play.
Layne Murdock's basket off the
press with 3 seconds left iced
the win for the Titans.
Four Titans scored in double
figures with Rob Smith's 18 leading the way. Close on his heels
came Wayne Shelton with ·17 and
Mike Reinhart and Davy Ohmer
with 16 each.
The win was especially good for
Coach Dale Bates. Bates coached SWOCC for six years prior
to coming to Lane. He commented,
"I recruited a lot of those kids
and know most of them."
Bates s.aid, '' I was glad to see
thetn come out of their zone.
We controlled the tempo, and then
they got behind and hurried a little bit."
Lane, 6 and 7 in league, faces
what Bates calls "a critical week."
"These games will be a challenge
to see how tough we really are,"
he continued.
Wednesday night the Titans entertain Central Oregon. Friday
night Lane hosts Umpqua Community College before traveling to
Albany Saturday for a game with
Linn-Benton.

Wednesday, February 13, THE
CRY OF THE PEOPLE. A
film essay on Bolivia chronicaling its history over the last
70 years. The film destroys
any tourist impression of
quaint charm and by showing
the working conditions of the
tin miners removes Che~s involvement with them from the
realm of slogan. "The film
leaves one with feelings of
rage for the forces of selfinterest which have shamelessly and viciously mutilated
Bolivia's potential . . . it is
a hundred times more informative and more important
than anything I've ever seen •..
it is film as revolutionary
force." --John , DuCane, Time

Hoffman and three others-Cuol

The three remaining defendants

(Continued from page 2)
Mr. Radcliff and he said he would
take my word that this was OK
with Piercy. So Burt was allowed
to play only AFTER sitting out
the previous game while he tried
to resolve this issue. The ASLCC
won .this game Feb. 5th by a score
of 100 to 43.
On Feb. 8th, I received a memorandum from Dean Piercy to Bob
Radcliff (info to myself) stating
that what I had told Mr. Radcliff
was innaccurate and that Burt
had a decision to make whether

to play or referee.
words I lied!
Now the rumors have itthat Burt
Jackson cannot play in any intramural activities, and the ASLCC
FORFIET the last game that he
played in. This clearly demonstrates Burt's position -he wants
to play.
But the LCC Institutional Bill
of Rights states (Section 38): "No
sanction may be imposed for a
• violation of any College rule or
regulation that has not been published and made freely available
to all students. Responsibility for
the publication of such regulations
shall rest with the Administration.
No such regulation has been distributed to ANY student.
other "violations" of this
"rule" have resulted in no action
such as Burt Jackson is now experiencing.
This is quite· a gross situation.
Burt has repeatedly stated that
he wishes to play and not referee.
_He has demonstrated this by playing. How much must he suffer?
Burt has stated to Mr. Radcliff
that it was never made clear to
him that if he refereed he could
not play.
Burt also states that he does
not wish to referee. Intramurals
is suooosed to be fun but it isn't
As long as no one knows the rules,
we all must suffer. Hut one man
does not have the power to interpret rules which are not written.
Written rules are what make this
campus "function" (ask any iidministrator).
We feel Burt should be playing, he is clearly a part of the
team. What do you think? We plan
on making this an issue because
we feel we're right. Unless there
are published rules and rights,
there a~e no rules - nor rights.
