'' I want to reassure the Board

Bob Mention, also a Board
member, said that, ''There have

''we appreciate the attitude and
efforts, but it is imperative to
ask the hdministration to set up
a committee to review the i.shlane project -- the books and
tenant charges and report back
to the Board.'
In January, OSPIRG (Oregon
Student Public Interest Research
Group) issued a report charging
ASH Inc. with mismanagement of
funds and improperly raising
rents, based on the conclusions
of a federal audit by HUD(Housing and Urban Development) .
The audit was ordered by HUD
last year after OSPIRG charged
that hSH had improperly raised
rents on it's rental units at
Pacific University in Forest
Grove, Oregon. The HUD investigation had said "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 audit also
stated that the salaries exceeded
10 per cent paid by students
at the aSH projects.
In response to Mention' s remarks, McClennan said, '·HUD
is already auditing the books and
most of the allegations were
based on a two day visit to the
project by HUD. i.n audit by an
independent CPA (Certified Public -nccountant) is already available. ' H e added, '·If you can
make suggestions and constructive criticism, it is welcome.''
But Mention reiterated that it
is '•imperative that we set up
this committee to look into the
whole operation.'' Ms. Curry
asked if this was already being
done by HUD and the accountant.
But Mention said, "Some agencies look for different things
than other agencies.' He then

He also moved to include student

motion passed with no negative
votes.
McClennan stated that, "it
might prove very illuminating to
the Board. From our side (ASH
Inc.), we welcome it."

WBEKI.Y SPECIAL
by Jack Anderson

!Copyright. 1974. by l.inited Feature Syndicate.

WaSHINGTON -The impeachment of President Nixon, which
used to be the pipedream of a
small group of liberal congressmen, now seems almost certain.
Even after the firing of Special
Prosecutor archibald Cox, the
secret count for impeachment in
the House was less than 80 votes.
But today, a majority are expected to vote for impeachment.
Several factors have brought
about this change. First, the incessant public debate has lessened the fear of the process. Previously, many congressmen were
afraid the move would weaken the
political system. Now they have
become convinced that the best
way to preserve the system is to
impeach the President.

-Editorial

With the advent of new elections and new student leaders,
we would like to review some of the past and present actions and
logic of the aSLCC Student Government.
•
On July 26, 1973, the Executive Cabinet voted unanimously to
spend $966 to send one representative to the National Student
Conference in Miami, Florida. On September 13, the same Cabinet
voted to send this same representative to Washington, D.C. to fill
a position he was elected to at the Miami conference, at a cost of
$1000. n total cost of $1,966 to vacate this single Senate position.
On Nov. 7, 1973, the hSLCC budget was frozen, "In light of
the many conflicts surrounding Student Government and its function
at this time," according to a memorandum from Dean of Students
Jack Carter. He further said, "This action is prompted by my concern over the amount of student funds that may be misspent without
regard to existing policies, at least the policies that have been
presented to the Student Body through the Student Handbook.' ' It
seems a shame that the hdministration felt the need to protect
the students from the elected student leaders. This freeze was
lifted when the Student Senate approved a supplementary budget
and reaffirmed existing documents.
However, documents were still violated. Although the aSLCC
Fiscal Policy states that no LCC clubs are to be alloted more than
$75, the Senate, nevertheless allocated thousands of student dollars
to just a few clubs.
In addition, former President Barry Hood has recently requested
a salar y for his job as president, retroactive from Nov., 1973.
Last year, the budget allotted $200 per month for the salary, but
this year there was no money set aside. If this request is approved,
it would be a total cost of $1,000 to another vacated Senate position.
In light of the past irresponsibility shown by the b.SLCC President's, we feel that a $200 per month salary is not appropriate
or deserved.
Some say that function follows form, and that the student
government is basically a learning process -- not a professional
service organization.
If this is the case - - please give us our money back.

Therefore, the President fulfilled the law's requirements,
St. Clair implied, by reporting knowledge of the felony to himself."
My fellow a.mericans, I address you tonight at a moment
of grave national crisis. i..s you know, the Senate today saw fit
to convict me in its impeachment proceedings. That is their right
and I do not for one minute deny them that right.
The question we must face tonight, my fellow Americans,
is what steps we shall take in this emergency. Our Constitution,
I am glad to be able to report to you, makes one thing perfectly
clear. Upon impeachment and conviction, the President -- and
let me read this to you verbatim -- ''shall be removedfrom office."
Now that is the law and, as you know, I have sworn, rightly
or wrongly, to uphold the law.
I therefore immediately conferred with myself in my capacity
as Chief Law Enforcement Officer on how best to remove myself
from this office.
The Chief Law Enforcement Officer advised me that I can
be removed bodily either by Federal marshals or U.S. troops -but unfortunately, Federal marshals have received no training whatsoever in Presidential removal.
I immediately called upon the Commander in Chief, which is
also myself, to order a contingency force of h.merican troops
to remove me from office. However, the Commander in Chief, I
think rightly, strongly urged against such a course on the grounds
that a display of military might at this critical point would only
tend to inflame the crisis rather than relieve it.
I again searched through the Constitution. I found that I may
be removed because of physical or mental incapacity. Here, I hoped,
might lie a way out of this dilemma.
. AS Chief Medical Officer, I subjected myself to a rigorous
physical examination. as Chief Director of Mental Health in this
great land of ours, I put myself through exhaustive psychological
testing. I passed -- and let me be perfectly candid about this -- both
tests with flying colors.
One alternative remained. I called upon myself as Chief Executive Officer to carefully and painstakingly review the case against
me and render, insofar as humanly possible, a fair and impartial
verdict.
The Chief Executive Officer, at my bidding, has done precisely
this. And I am happy to report to you tonight that the crisis over
my removalfrom office has been at last resol ved.l have been granted,
I am proud to say, Executive Clemency.
There will be those, my fellow Americans, who will undoubtedly
attempt to subvert steps I have taken to uphold the Constitution
in this national emergency.
I have therefore asked the Commander in Chief to deploy
troops around Capitol Hill to preserve our cherished Constitution.
I have every reason to believe the Commander in Chief will cooperate
fully with me in this hour of national peril. And I expect every decent
bmerican will do likewise, God willing.
Thank you and good night.

George Handon, new .nSLCC,

Handon, replacing Dave Simmons who resigned last term, is

'' The pool tournament has been

$20 to $30).
In June, Handon will concentrate on arranging a graduation
ceremony that will interest students. "It's their graduation, it

Pipeline Manipulation: Oil
piplines, like a vast underground
highway network, pump crude oil
around the country. These underground rivers of oil are controlled by the big oil companies
through joint ownership of the
pipelines.
Thus, the major oil companies
have been able to control oil
and gas deliveries to virtually
every area of the nation. They can
also squeeze out competition by
making less oil and gas available to the independents.
The pipeline monopoly li as
caused scattered shortages and
higher prices all across the nation. Congressional investigators
now have evidence that the heating oil shortp.ge of last winter
was created by manipulating the
pipelines.
The effort to squeeze out heating oil retailers forced some
schools, hospitals and homes to
go without heat. Many independent
gas station owners were also cut
off by the pipeline owners when
the gas pinch began to be felt.
Yet despite this obvious monopoly condition, the Justice Department has failed to take action.
The congressional sleuths suspect that political influence may
be the reason. They recall that
President Nixon collected more
than $5 million from oilmen during his 1972 campaign.

Dear Editor:
A couple of months ago, the TORCH ran an article about
aSHLk~NE apartments and the problems there. In that article, an
officer of aSH, Inc. was critical of OSPIRG for revealing that the
company bought $7,000 cars and rents a $1,300 /month office from
a firm owned by its own executives. Phillip McLennan, that officer,
went on to say that CSPIRG was "inaccurate and irresponsible."
On March 28, 1974 the Eugene Register-Guard said that ~H,
Inc. has lost its source of low interest loans from the government
to build more apartments. "The suspension was based on a government auditor's report questioning fund management." The article
went on to cite the same reasons GSPIRG had stated.
OSPIRG (Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group) is
a group of students who are hardworking and have established
credibility throughout the state and nation. There is much voluntary
effort to try to help everyday people by informing them of consumer
and environmental issues.
Recently, students of Pacific University in Forest Grove,
Oregon filed a class action suit agianst .nSH, Inc. for breaching
a printed promise not to raise the rent.
"-lso, here at Lane, the Board of Education is presently investigating all phases of n..SH, Inc. due to complaints from LCC students.

some disturbing calculations.
They have concluded unhappily
that food and fuel bills will continue to climb this year.
At the same time, wages aren't
expected to keep pace with prices
and profits. This means the purchasing power of the average American will drop still more this
year.
The economists have given the
President the bad news, but he
is reluctant to rea veal it to a
Watergate-weary nation. Instead,
he told business men in Chicago
that the rest of the world has
even worse inflation. The truth
is that at least eight industrialized nations have lower inflation
rates and most industrialized
countries have less unemployment than does the UnitedStates.

TORCH

Board backs tax incr
Analysis by John Loeber

Here s how to ~at the college transfer game:
spend a summer at Oregon State Univer~itr before you
make a commitment. There are no adm1ss1on requirements;
no applications in summer.
1

If you like 0SU and you have your A.A., then apply for
fall admission. You'll have more college credit, and you'll know
what's right for you.

At their March 14 meeting the LCC Board of
Education voted six-to-one to ask the voters for
a $1 million increase of the LCC tax base, and informally tied the tax increase to a five per cent
tuition increase for Fall Term.
If the tax base is approved, it would mean a
permanent increase in the amount of property
taxes the college can levy for it's operation without a further election. The new base would increase
the current tax base of $2.6 million to $3.59 million.
Board member Robert Mention of Eugene, who
cast the only negative vote, said he felt the Board
didn't have enough information at hand to make
a decision an opinion echoed by Board members
Albert Br;uer of Florence and Catharine Lauris
of Eugene. Although the college is expecting a
$55,000 carry-over this year, any increases in personnel salaries or fringe benefits could send the
college back to the voters for more money this
year.
During the discussion Mention said, "I feel a
sense of uneasiness that our (1974-75) budget is not
defined, and I wonder if the voters will be uneasy
about that." Ms. Lauris also complained about a
"lack of information'' on which to base her decision.
The concept of a tuition increase was informally
adopted by the Board after lengthy discussion. Board
members Charlene Curry of Springfield, Richard
Freeman of Eugene and Brauer all felt that a tuition
increase was called for if a tax increase was also
necessary, however, Ms. Lauris said, "l take a dim
view of raising tuition."

Richard Eymann, speaker of the Oregon House
of Representatives and the LCC director of gov- .
ernmental affairs and funding, stated that tuition
money returns to the students as financial grants.
But a check of the college budget shows that
although the amount of revenue from tuition and
the amount budgeted for financial aids programs are
closely balanced, they are not related:
• Tuition revenues go into the General Fund
(Schedule I of the College budget) and support the
Board, President's Office, Office of Instruction,
Instructional Departments and Services, Student
Services and College Facilities; however,
• Financial -n.ids monies come from Separately
Sustained Funds (Schedule V of the College budget)
and are mostly federal funds.
Further investigation reveals that since the current budget was adopted, student tuition revenues
have increased 10 per cent while financial aids
have decreased 25 per cent. and, tuition should
not be considered as a means of collecting federal
monies distributed through veteran's benefits or
other independent federal programs, a,concept which
was E:Xpressed by Ms. Lauris during the meeting).
The question of tuition and tax base increases
may best be understood with a look at how the college is financed.
The total current college budget ofapproximately
$15 million can be broken down to the General
Fund (57 per cent, for operating expenses), Capital
Projects Fund (14 per cent, for -construction), Separately Sustained Funds (20 per cent, for the Book
Store, Food Services and Financial Aids) and miscelanious (9 per cent).
The General Fund (over 60 per cent of which is
allocated for instructional and student services)
is comprised of property tax money (29 per cent),
tuition money (21 per cent), State FTE reimbursement (42 per cent), Federal FTE (Full Time Equivalency) reimbursement (2 per cent) and others
(5.5 per cent).

This reimbursement from the State is calculated
on a formula which is $730 for the first 1,100
reimbursable FTE and $595 per FTE thereafter.
With an increase in needed operating funds of
11 per cent the Board is looking at increases (with
an FTE enrollment of 6,800) as follows:
• Property tax increase of six per cent -- with
an eight per cent increase in property value this
would mean a rate increase from $1.41 per $100(
of assesed value to $1.69 per $1000. This would
mean, for example, a $5.60 increase on a $20,000
home.
• Tuition increase of five per cent from a $90
base to a $94.50 base. LCC President Eldon Schafer

weekend fete
by John Loeber

The Evolution of Consciousness
Seminar,sponsored by the Inner Space
Travel Agency (IST.n.), was held Friday night and Saturday on the LCC
camous. Speakers included Joel ·
'Schatz, energy representative for Gov.
Tom ~cCali, and Ken Kesey, Pleasant Hill writer. (He is the author
of '' One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest''
and ''Sometimes a Great Notion").
The one over-riding topic at the
Seminar, according to Schatz, was that
''we hold the future in our hands,
and, by extension, the future is what
we make it.' ·
During Friday night's talk on Energetics, Schatz said, "The more
successfully the US is in maintaining
or increasing it's total energy consumption, under conditions of declining net energy, the more rapidly
inflation, unempJoyment, and general

economic instability will increase/' the turn coming up. He said one
He indicated that those persons who group of .r iders wanted to go ahead

resources now will find '' a sharper group wanted to stay and slow the
and more disruptive economic tran- train down. Kesey said he opted for
sition for themselves the longer they slowing down the machine. ''I've tried
it all," Kesey remarked, ''religion,
wait to adjust."
Schatz said the Governor's Office drugs, philosophy and have finally
of Energy Research and Planning come to Karma Yoga." Kesey noted

used French Pete as a focus, saying
ergy to economic transitions:

exhaustible energy sources at the the old, with it's age and learning,
in order to remove any historical
point of e~~traction, or
• an extraction tax placed on the prespective."
Kesey wound up his talk by saying,

Saturday's keynote speaker, Ken do is take hold and form it -- or
Kesey, began his talk by relating a else the buyers and sellers will take

"We have been alloted a ringside
on a headlong-rush and wouldn't make

seat at the most exciting time in
history . . . there is a third spark
between collectivism and individualism that will be the source of our
salvation.,'
In a later interveiw with the TORCH,
Schatz and Kesey explained more
about the movement at hand: ' · To live
with, rather than on, the earth.''
Kesey told of the '' Bend in the
River" seminar to be held July 4 and
5 in Bend, Oregon, where he intends
to have speakers from all over the
world participating with each other
and the audience, on the topics of
energetics and life-style.
Schatz spoke of the need to reorder
national priorities. He said that inflation is killing profits, and industry is realizing that it is becoming economically impossible to continue to hurt the environment.
During the event LCC's Student Activities Director, Jay Jones, said
that he was surprised and elated at
the concentration of energy and peacefulness of the event. His assistant,
Jack Hart, said he felt he owed an
apology to the Seminar, referring
to an earlier misunderstanding concerning the organization of the event.
The seminar had nearly been
cancelled by Student,~ctivities Director Jay Jones with a memo listing
three reasons for cancellation: Lack··
of centralized staff, uncertainty of
numbers of participants, and a lack
of scheduling.
Student objections to the cancellation brought about a meeting on March
25 between the LCC ~dministration
and studentleaders, where LCC President Eldon Schafer assured them that
the Seminar would have i.dministrative support if there was a guarantee of no more than 2,000 participants and that the event be sponsored
by a s'taff member.
a. subsequent meeting found support
after IST~ also agreed to supply the
starting and ending times for each
day's activities, to post $377 advance
deposit on the facilities, and to develop
plans for child care, health services,
dog control and activities coordination.
In a later memorandum to Mike
Rogers of ISTa, Jones congratulated
the group on the success of the Seminar and the behavior of the group,
saying, "We would like to state that
the IS Ta has done a great service ..•
not only by providing a worthwhile
community activity, but also by dem- ,
onstrating that students can plan and
operate a large function . . . in an
orderly and very beneficial way."
The memo went on to offer any
future assistance Jones' office could
provide on programs such as the
Seminar.
Campus Security said the most outrageous event it was aware of during the event was a streaker -gender, unknown; age four months.

The Lane Community College
track team opened its outdoor

with a convincing victory in a

Lane amassed a total of 98 1/2

(65),
University of Portland
(57 1/2), and Mt. Hood Community College (68).

The women's track and field
season , which officially opened
last Thursday, against the U of
0 and OSU, women'strackteams,
was plagued by rain and wind
which hampered the running
times.
Oregon won the meet with 67
points, with Oregon State right
behind with 50, and Lane Community College with 34 points.
This meet was not an indication
of what is to come for the women's track -team. according to
Susan Cooley, women's coach
The highlights of the meet were
the mile and 880 yard run with
Maryl Barker of Oregon taking
first in both events with a 5:12.5
mile time and 2:20.7 in the 880.
In there with Ms. Barker was
Lane's distance ace, Cheryl
Bates, whose times in those events were 5:25.6 and 2:27 .6
respectively.

improvement in the mile by lowering his own school record to
4:09.2. Williams had to come
from behind to run down the University of Portland's Mike Porter in the final 110 yards for the
win. Williams said after the meet
that he never had any doubts
that he would win the race: "I
knew I had him coming into the
last turn'', he said.
Hafer and Woods, versatile
performers who split time between the long jump and the
sprints, joined veteran Fred Long
in the scoring column as the
Titans placed five of the top
six finishers in that event. Ralph
Peterson of Mt. Hood uncorked
a jump of 21' 11 3/4" on his
final attempt to take the win.
He was followed by Hafer and
Woods at 21' 7 1/2'' and Long
at 21' 6 1/2".
Graham and Jones, a pair of
Freshmen, provided power in an
event that has never been strong
for the Titans. Graham tied his
personal best by clearing 6' 8"
in the high jump - - good enough
for second place -- while Jones

The first game was marked by
a sloppy field and an equally sloppy defensive showing by the Titans. Lane managed to hand Oregon State 4 of their 6 runs as a
direct result of miscues, according to Coach Dwane Miller.
Miller was particulary impressed with the ability of the
team to come back and win the
second game after dropping the
first. He said, "We looked pretty shabby in the first game thenwe came back and played error- ·
less ball in the second game."
Miller added that it was hard
