LCC the week of march 5, 1974 vol. 11 no. 23 Ian e comm unity co 11 ege, • 4000 ea st 30th ave nu e, eugen e, ore go n 97405 ·, Officer's reports stal l Sen ate Food Services attac ked by c·su by Ed Barrett and John Loeber in UFW lettuce feud by Maureen Gieber and John Loeber Members of the Chicano Student Union ( CSU) have presented Merlin Ames, director of LCC Food Services, a petition demanding that the LCC hdministra tion remove all-- nonUnited Farm Workers (UFW) lettuce from the campus food outlets. The petition condemns the use of the facilities at LCC as a union-breaking tool. This situation seems to have more than a superficial resemblance to Feb. 6 of last year, when n.mes agreed to sell UFW lettuce after the CSU staged a two-day boycott of Food Services and presented Ames with a petition having 250 signatures supporting their cause. Ames said of the resemblance, "Last year we hadn't discussed the issue when the CSU boycotted us, their action was part of a nation-wide movement," and he said as soon as he became aware of the situation he h~d indicated to the CSU that an agreement could be reached. Mter a two-day wait Food Services agreed to serve only UFW lettuce as long as it was available. Eduardo alani_ s, president of the CSU , said that although a compromise agreement had been reached, the agreement stated that Food Services would use UFW lettuce as long as it was available, but would have the option to use Teamsters lettuce if necessary to insure customer satisfaction. But ames said he is not using UFW lettuce this year because his distributor (Emerald Produce Co.) only knew of one outlet for UFW lettuce in Salinas, California. He added that that lettuce had a 50% shorter shelf-life than other available lettuce (due to increased dealer handling and repacking in "cello-pac k"). ames did say, "We would ag~ee to serve only UFW lettuce if the total campus community, including staff, support this.'' Alanis says the CSU plans to have the issue of UFW lettuce on the ballot in the upcoming student elections. Although sympathetic to the UFW cause, Ames says he must consider the entire campus: If he relies only on one source of supply he may not be able to get lettuce in the near future. However: Alanis said that UFW lettuce is sometimes available at the Twenty-Four Hour Market, Grower's Market and Emerald Produce Co., and that if Food Services agrees to use only UFW lettuce the CSU would find additional sources of supply. The main problem, according to Alanis, is that the lack of demand has caused the lack of supply. hlanis went on to say that the CSU waijted to see Teamster lettuce eliminated from LCC, but "We can live with a compromise situation, if the different lettuces are labled and as long as they (Food Services) don't quit buying UFW lettuce again, or create financial barriers by pricing the lettuces differently ." During Wednesday's UFW demonstrations at the U of 0, Eliseo Medina of the UFW National Board told the TORCH, "We are trying to get the message out to the people on what this (the boycott) is all about. "The real issue," said Medina, "is that we have proved that the Teamsters and the growers are in collusion. Both knew that the Teamsters did not represent the workers. This case was heard Dec. 27, 1972 in the California Supreme Court and decided six to one in favor of the UFW.'' Medina said that because of this case and a case in a Federal Court in San Francisco in September of 1973, indicting a Teamster official (Secretary -Treasurer Theodore Gonzales) for bribery, "the Supreme Court of California dissolved an injuction against the UFW, enabling us to strike and boycott once again. ''It might not seem like much to you to just not buy non-UFW lettuce and grapes," said Medina, "but if we can get people all over the country to support us, then we'll win. It might not mean much to you, but it means the future to us.' ' After presenting their petition to Food Service, Alanis said that n.mes had told the CSU that they would need to get 6,000 signatures from the 14,000 students on campus (43% of the students) in order to show a concensus of student opinion. n.mes told the TORCH that he would consider 70 per cent of the eampus community a clear mandate. The ASLCC Senate meeting Thursday was to have considered the question of ASLCC President Barry Hood's resignation and an n.SLCC sponsored child care center, according to the meeting's agenda. But neither item reached the floor. During Officer's Reports, Sallie Torres, publicity director, referred to a special "packet" of documentation supporting, allegedly, the claim that Barry Hood should resign. Ms. Torres said, ''While I do not feel the President has displayed the strong positive leadership qualities deserved by the students of LCC , neither has the rest of the Executive Cabinet. During the past two weeks, I have personally witnessed the most incredible, devious, irresponsible, unethical use of human beings, rather than issues, to effect personal gain, that it has ever been my misfortune to see. ''I do not feel that the Senate floor is the place to deal with this apalling behavior, however, we must stifle it immediately and take every possible preventive measure in order to fulfill our responsibilities and stimulate forward momentum in the best interests of the student body.'' Ms. Torres told the TORCH later that personality conflicts should be dealt with administratively in the ASL CC Executive Cabinet and in Senate workshop sessions. She declined to list specifics or document her accusations at the present time. The move to oust Hood, sponsored by Executive Cabinet members David Simmons (Second Vice-President) and David Mahoney (Treasurer), saw no action taken at the meeting, primarily due to the lengthy Finance Committee report. Chairing Thursday's meeting during the Finance report (at Hood's request) was Treasurer David Mahoney, who attempted to work through the lengthy agenda but encountered parliamentary delays. The question of Hood's debt to the Senate for the alleged unauthorized publication of the 1973-74 (Continued on back page) Perfo rmin g Arts Dept . mov ing to Forum Bldg On March 8, the Performing Arts Department, Mass Communication Department, Learning Resource Center (LRC), Dial Retrieval, Print Shop, Social Sc_ience Department, Language n.rts Department and Study Skills Center will start juggling locations in order to accomodate new construction on campus, according to Walt Van Orden of College Facilities. The Performing n.rts Department will move in it's entirety to the top floor of the Forum Building. The 25 Mass Communications, Social Science and Language Arts classes now taught in the Forum classrooms will be relocated in the Math, n.pprenticeship and Center Buildings, said Van Orden. as soon as this three day move is accomplished, construction crews will clear the basement of the Center Building (the present location Qf Performing n.rts). Then, in May or June, the Print Shop, Graphic n.rts, and Dial Retrieval offices will move from the fourth floor to the basement of the Center Building. The fourth floor will be reconstruc ted by September in order to better accomodate Soc i a 1 Sciences, Language Arts, and the Study Skills Center. By august, the Performing hrts Department will move into its new building while the Forum will revert back to use by the Mass Communication Deoartment. There remain four major problems: • n.t least 25 classes will need to be relocated around campus. Although there will be no changes made in time schedules there will undoubtedly be a period of confusion , according to the office of Dean of Instruction Gerry Rasmussen, as the campus adjusts to the changes in location. at this time there are no plans to cut any classes. • Storage of materials and equipment during the moves will be a significant factor, said Van Orden. The departments which are being moved (mainly the Performing arts Department) will store everything except necessary teaching materials. The Mechanics Building and the tunnels under the campus will be used for storage, and care will be taken in the tunnels not to interfere with Civil Defense provisions (see last week's TORCH). • The time element, stated Ragozzino, is essential in order to a- void increased construction costs due to inflation and to facilitate the proposed construction before next school year. • There may be problems with noise, said Bill Riley, chief engineer at the LCC TV Studio. Construction noise will not be significant until the fourth floor construction starts, but in the meantime the Forum will be inundated with noise from Performing hrts re•hearsals. In tests conducted on Feb. 28 by Riley, he discovered that even a small band will increase the background noise levels in the radio and television recording studios by a factor of five-to-one. Riley feels this will definitely preclude live broadcast productions during band rehearsals and will have a detrimental effect on broadcasting laboratories as well. nlternate scheduling will be a problem as the studios are in almost constant usage during the school week. Ragozzino stated, "We (Performing arts) were not anxious to move at this time, but were willing to accomodate the construction schedules. We are willing to do anything we can to accomodate other people's needs.''

This week's essay was written by Bryan Paddock and Andy Davis, LCC students.) In retort to b.SLCC President Barry Hood's TORCH Forum of 2/26/74. We the students at LCC, pay fees into our student government; We are supposed to be beneficiaries of that government body. Thus, we have a right to demand "quality representation,,' and responsible leaders. Each student here at LCC is entitled to benefit from the expenditure those funds, hopefully in programs that best meet the students' needs. Unfortunately, in Mr. Hood's rush for his new found insight for student rights he's giving a lot of them away. It should be noted however, that he isn't alone, as most of the Senate along with the Executive Cabinet is also to blame. In the first place, Mr. Hood, you have taken what I would call a very crude stand, in demanding positions be made available for students on the LCC Board. Wouldn't it be a little more in line to request that positions be made available rather than demanding? How about the financial state of ASLCC. The money for Student Health Services and for legal assistance is money well spent. For that matte-r so is the bus token money. But what ever happened to money for financial aid to students, or student loans? Why is money spent on movies and bands when enough money is not taken in to cover the initial investment? Not too long ago I sat in on a meeting in which the bu~ token program was condemned because it was losing $250 a week. The bu; token program provides a.service to the students that are useful to them where as movies are not. That's not to say we should continue to operate in a different manner, it's for the budget as well as the student. I realize that the movies and some of the other activities were not Barry's ideas, they belonged to Dave Simmons, who, by · the way, feels his goal is accomplished in student government. That's fine, but, what does he figure his goal to be in state government, show movies and run on a deficit? No professionalis'm is required to spend money in an unprofessional manner. So, where was Barry Hood all the time this has been going on? Well, I can't , answer that one and I don't think the ASL CC can either. Student government is a very serious business and unless we can show that we are responsible enough to run it, then we better get rid of it. Most of the Senators, I TORCH in my opm10n, and that includes Barry ASLCC President Barry Hood 'held the First Vice-Pre~ident position until he and Hood and the Executive Cabinet, seem to the rest of the Senate impeached David Red Fox -- then ASLCC President.

Welsh has begun several projects to enable him to get the . correct information to the public: He is seeking funds for educational materials on Epilepsy1 starting a . LCC.

Assisted by other interested LCC 'students\, last week Welsh set up an information table in the cafeteria foyer.

One fact is that Epilepsy is not just :hereditary as most people believe, but there are many conditions that can lead to this brain disorder. any of these conditions, (chemical, physiological, structural, or a combination of the three), _can trigger Epilepsy. For example, a head injury resulting from an auto accident or contact sport often leads to epilepsy. • Welsh, 32, is in his third term at LCC and intends to go into the field of retail sales and marketing, but is now also considering devoting full time to the county and state leagues. Welsh experienced his first epileptic seizure 14 years ago while in the Army. He served his entire three year tour, but was not medically discharged, despite his illness. After a year's struggle, he said, he finally won the right to veteran's compensation because he claimed a "service connected • disability'' which the A.rmy finally granted.

The Exchange has been advertised since October of last year, but the actual babysitting didn't begin until about three weeks ago. So far, there are about nine people in •the ·Exchange. Ms. Morgan said tha·t with so few people involved at this time it is difficult for those who live out of town to find someone close enough to babysit for them, but she hopes that eventually five or so people from each area would join. ' Persons interested in joining the Parent Babysitting Exchange should call 344-7217 for more information.

Unlike the Heceta Beach facility, however, the seven lakeside cabins are not frequently used and, according to students, are not as ~ccomodative as Heceta House the LCC retreat for classes and study groups on the coast. n.ccording to Lyle Swetland, development fund director, the cabins are nevertheless a ''v a I ua b I e teaching station" and would adequately accomodate several student groups such as biology classes. Should the· college wish to sell the cabins within the next three years, the agreement made between the college and donors James and Lorraine Christensen, provides a percentage of the proceeds • return to them and that the remainder go to the improvement of the LCC Florence educational pro- • gram. This percentage decreases throughout the three-year period until in 1977, where upon the college will obtain full ownership of the cabins and complete jurisdiction. • According to Swetland, the resort was built in 1939 by James Christensen's parents and has seven separate living units complete with refrigerator, stove, and wood heater, but no hot running water. An old general store included in the complex stands on stilts above the lake and is the only building large enough to accomodate classes. Consequently, the store was cleared for that purpose and is the only major change made, according to Swetland. Swetland said that the only maintenance costs are the salary for Joe. Freeman., the full-time caretaker, and utility fees. There are no property taxes since the cabins are state-owned. Women's auto class stresses knowledge_of car funct-;ons "It's amazing the crosssection of people that enroll in this <;lass. We've had women come in their hippie wagons and some even drive up in Jaguars,'' sa:id Bill Scarbourough, instructor of the women's auto mechanics class for LCC. Scarborough, who is co-owner of Jackson Motors in Eugene, has been teaching the women's class for two years. "I think it's a good thing" he said "it helps women talk more intelligently about cars, which helps us find out what is wrong with the car." He explained the Women's Auto Mechanics cour3e is not offered to make mechanics out of those who enroll. It is intended to familiarize women with their cars and the functions of the Vi3-rious parts and systems so they will know when something is going wrong and they can have it corrected. Karen Ault, -LCC publications secretary and a student in the .class, said that "I didn't even know that the brakes were in the wheels . . • I just knew that they were under the car, like the shock absorbers.''_ In the six week adult education class, the women learn everything from how to do a tune-up to how to buy a used ·car without getting ripped-off. • Scarborough says thewomenask more intelligent questions than some of the men he has taught. "They aren't interested in making a hot rod out of their cars," he said, "they just want to learn how to take care of their car." Scarborough also _said that the women in his classes are "pretty good at working on cars'' and "not afraid of grease." , The class is offered through LCC's n.dult Education program and is taught in two sections of 16 people - one at Jackson Motors and one in the LCC auto shop.

At SRC meeting Student body fee.s analyzed option to pay. When asked about the advisability of doubling the fees, Hood replied, "When students see the services that will be available to them. I think they will be glad- to pay the fee. At least they will be able to decide for themselves if they want the services or not.' Hood's proposal would provide the students with a list of available services at registration, thus giving each student an opportunity to see what he is getting for his money. Peter Hale, SRC chairman, presented for consideration four sections of the Bill of Rights which he feels need revision. Hale would like to see mandatory requirements for classroom participation deleted from Section Four.Classroom attendance, Hale feels, may have little to do with a student's ability to learn a certain subject or with his actual knowledge of that subject . .t:1.ssignments and examinations should be the criteria for grading, Hale asserted, not attendance. Sections 19 and 20 deal with employee and student participation on questions of college policy and administrative regulations. Although both sections provide that the Board (Sec. 19) and the Administration (Sec. 20) "shall uti• lize the advice and assistance of employees and students'' on such questions, Hale ~maintains that_ too often students are only advised of policy decisions after the fact. Hale said the Board and .t:1.dministration have an obligation to ''actively seek the advice Dick .hpker, president of the Handicapped Stu- of students~' on matters of policy. dent n.ssociation • (Photo by Robin Burns) Announcements should be made Discussion of the possibility of soliciting student body fees on a voluntary basis highlighted this week's meeting of the Student Rights Commission (SRC). ~lso taken under consideration were several sections of the Institutional Bill of Rights.

The purpose of the week's activities, according to the Association's Treasurer, will be to make non-handicapped students aware of some of the drawbacks . that handicapped people face. both as students and as members of society. The club hopes to have as many people involved as possible. The educational features of the week's schedule include a specially constructed maze which will be darkened to simulate the conditions under which a blind person functions; and the opportunity for nonhandicapped students to view life from a wheelchair. Daily speakers my also be scheduled. Th.e culmination of the activities will be on Friday, Al)ril 5, when the club will present "wheelchair basketball' games between radio station KEED's "Tanglefoot Five'' and the "Wheel Blazers.' All participants , including referees, will be in wheelchairs. Half-time and post-game entertainment will include the finals of open wheelchair races, and the music of national award-winning "Northwest Banjos:' There will be two games, one at 3:30 p.m. and the other at 7:30 p.m., with tickets on sale in the Student Awareness Center for one dollar with student' body card, and $1.25 without.

Turning to the sanctioning of students (Sec. 35), Ha~e said that students may presently be san.ctioned, Iwith the sanction in effect until such procedures are satisfied. This, says Hale, puts the student in the position of "being guilty until he proves himself innocent.'' These questions and others will be considered further at the next SRC meeting. Concert features.

Van Orden feels that the shelter will be more effective once people become more aware of its purpose. One change being considered is to move the stop sign back so that. traffic will stop in front of the shelter. The shelter is complete now with the exception of paint and landscaping. The plans for the shelter, drawn up by Daryl Smith (of the firm Balzhiser, Smith and Longwood) were chosen over those developed by the Office of Institutional Planning and Development because of greater comp~tability with LCC's architectu ral scheme and the greater protection from the elements.

It was only natural that the two should get together. According to George Gyorgyfalvy, LCC gymnastics instructor, Lane has borrowed an idea from European countries in embarking on an Intramural Gymnastics program. "all of the European countries have this type 0f club set-up," said Gyorgyfalvy. "They produce some of the great- . est gymnasts in the world," he added. The program, which according" to Dick Newell, head of the Physical Education Department, '' Is doing extremely well,' · may be inserted into the regular time schedule. The new idea is to have the gymnastics gym open on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule from see it become 2 hours each day,'' said Gyorgyfal vy. The program is open to anyone who wants to attend and involves people from a broad range of gymnasitc experience. We have beginners and experts" commented Gyorgyfalvy. "They help each other. I cannot help •more than one person at a time and many of the people out here know as much about it as p.m. to 4:30 p.m. It may ex- I . do. 'rhis type of set-up allows pand next term. "I would like to people to help each other, to have many instructors rather than just one,'' he added. The new drop_.in program does not guarantee that LCC will become a world power in gymnastics. However, the intenseness and dedication shown by many of the Lane students involved is equal to that of world champions. According to Gyorgyfalvy, many of the students put in much more time voluntarily than required in gym class. ''Many of the students work as much as 60 hours a term here," said the ex-gymnastics coach. "We satisfy their physical needs without putting restrictions or grades on them,'' he added. The Lane gymnastics team, which died last year from a lack of competitors, will not draw new breath from this intramural program, according to Gyorgyfalvy. "Everything here is voluntary and it is ideal. I do not see the gymnastics team starting up again," he stated. Dick Newell saw the deatb of the inter-collegiate team as simply, "There were just not enoug-h students on the team to justify using a coach,'' he said. ' Seventy students have attended the drop-in activities, some on a very regular basis.

Booth, winner of the region 18 championships last week, showed fine form in winning Thursday's first match against Gunner Quist of Cumberland Community College (Pineland, New Jersey) in only 24 seconds. His second match of the day was a virtual carbon copy as Booth gained the victory with a 28 second pin over his opponent from Schoolcraft Junior College in Michigan. On the basis of the first two decisions, coach Bob Creecf said, "After seeing the rest of the heavyweights, I think he has a good cha-nee. There's some big guys here, but they're pretty slow." Creed's optimism proved premature when Booth took to the mat Friday against Tom Burns of Northern Iowa, one of the pre-meet favorites. Mter two hard fought r·ounds, Booth succumbed being pinned in the third. It was the first time this season that Booth has had to wrestle morethan one round and was his first defeat in 23 matches. Booth next dropped his consolation match to Delfin Blaske of Bismark, North Dakota. The second round pin knocked him out of the competition. Titans close dismal season By Steve Busby To climb the golden ladder has come to mean going high for a rebound. To the Titan basketball team though it meant defeating the teams that stood in the way of Lane's attendance at the conference tournament. Unfortunately, the Titans fell one rung short. Lane's 12 and 16 record this sea.ion was a disappointment to the coaches and the players, but ncit a totally unforeseen one. Lane fielded a team this ye~r that was among the shortest in the league, and had to makeup for a deficit in team quickness with an abundance of team hustle. It wasn't quite enough.

Gary Johnson, freshman senator from the art Department, said he felt the issue was being brought up during Committee Reports as a political move in order to cloud the issue of Hood's resignation.

"Our reputation is getting hurt by this unpayed debt,'' said Edgmon.
