Also discussed at the Thursday
session were the upcoming ASLCC
elections and the overdrawn Student
Awareness Center (SaC) budget.
Leasure's officer's report included
a request that the body vote for the
First Vice President from among 10
candidates who had either applied for
the post or were nominated by Leasure. (The ASLCC President has the
power to appoint students to vacant
posts). "The three highest priority people," said Leasure, "will be given
the highest consideration."
Leasure's appointment, announced
Friday, was Mike Rogers an evening
student. Rogers, taking general classes at LCC, said that the first business he would attend to would be the
ASLCC elections. He said an election
held late in May would not leave enough
time for a budget to be written and
approved by the student body, but that
moving the elections too far forward
may leave too little time for election
publicity or possibly violate ASLCC
documents.
The subject of a moratorium was
proposed by ASLCC Publicity Director Sallie Torres during her officer's

sla1te•I

report. She stated, ' (Due to the many
budgetary problems faced not only
by my office, but by other offices as
well, I would like to suggest that we
enter a self-imposed moratorium and
_conduct no new business, with the exception of Spring Elections, until after that election.''
Prefacing these remarks, Ms. Torres said, ''we have not been presented
with a Treasurer's statement of the
budget report. When our Treasurer
recently provided me with the balances
remaining in publicity-related line items, I found that each line item
is either depleted, soon will be, or
has been inadvertantly overextended.
'' Overextension of any budgetary
items, according to current ASLCC
documents, requir~s Senate action,"
she said. Her request for more funds
was tabled to the Finance Committee
for consideration. (However, the subject of a moratorium under New Business was never brought up for open
discussion since the body failed to
reach New Business on the agenda.)
In other business, Ginny Allbaugh,
ASLCC senator-at-large, proposed as
a standing rule that Senate meetings be
held every Thursday from 3 p.m. to
5 p.m. (Currently, ASLCC documents
state that the Senate shall meet twice
a month, but has no time restriction).
The body accepted the concept as
a standing rule, but at nearly 5 p.m.,
Ms. A.llbaugh moved to adjourn the

''I showed my card," said LCC student Julia Pommert, ' ' and they said,
' You can't take that class, it's for
men.'' '
Ms. Pommert, shown .working out in
the weight room in the P.E. Building,
was enrolled in the Men's Body Building class Winter Ter m. But she encountered several hours of problems -having to go from the P.E. Department Head Dick Newell up the ranks
to the Associate Dean of Instruction
Jim Piercy -- before being allowed to
enroll in the class. And now Ms. Pommert has entered an otherwise male
soccer class.
She said that during Winter Term
all the people she talked to offered
alternatives, such as taking Women's
Body Conditioning and having the instructor work out a special program
for her. But she explained that she
didn't see any reason why she should
have to do that when the Men's Body
Building class already suited her
needs. "I thought I would improve more
if I had some competition.''
Ms. Pommert stated that although
"I never got a flat denial, I would
have to justify why I wanted to take
the class' ' to everyone she talked
to. "I had to have reasons,' ' she
said, " specific reasons.'' She added,
" I doubt if a man would have to do

that."
Mter her first try at registering for
the class, she was directed to Newell,
who gave her information concerning
the Women's Conditioning class. When
she stated that she wanted to take
men's Body Building, she said that
Newell explained that the class was not
possible since the class was oriented
specifically for men.
Unsatisfied with that explanation, Ms.
Pommert said she talked to Jonathon
West, the LCC minorities specialist.
West directed her to nssociate Dean
Piercey, who again explained about the
Women's Conditioning class. She again
explained that she did not want to
take that class.
Ms. Pomment told Dean Piercy she
thought a "precedent had been set since
there were a couple of women enrolled in the conditioning class at a
Washington state community college.' '
According to Ms. Pommert, West
told her to '' go have lunch and then
go register for the class." She said
that when she returned, she had no
further trouble and enrolled in the
class.
Contacted -later, Piercy said that he
"Recalled, at the time, that we didn't
know how to handle it.' ' But, he added,
she wanted to take the class, and he

Hen ry 'S Honeymoon

by Art Hoppe

The world last week eagerly awaited
the outcome of the secret negotiating sessions held behind closed doors at the
Acapulco honeymoon cottage of Dr. Kis:.
singer and the new Mrs. Kissinger.
Hopes for a productive meeting were
raised when observers reported seeing the
two exchanging "friendly smiles" while
stretching their legs in the compound
between the grueling sessions inside the
cottage.
But they were dashed when a waiter
serving refreshments disclosed Dr. Kissinger appeared to him to be "wan and
tired.' '
Fortunately, a tape recording of an
unidentified couple, obviously negotiating,
has been found washed up on a nearby
beach. For whatever its worth, a transcript is reprinted herewith.
He: Well, well, I can't-wait to unpack

my overnight bag and two briefcases.
This is a wonderful honeymoon cottage
and so perfectly furnished -- a redphone,
a black phone, a white, a pink phone,
two Telex machines, a decoder . . .
She: Yes, isn't the pink phone romantic? But don't forget, Henry, you
promised. No telephone calls. You really
need to forget all your problems for
10 whole days.
He: Don't worry, dear.IspoketoSadat,
Golda, King Feisal, the President and
all the others. I have their word nothing
whatsoever will happen anywhere until a
week from Tuesday. So I'll just relax and
curl up with the paper ...
She: I cancelled the paper, dear. I
don't want you thinking about your worries.
He: No paper? (a long pause) Now
what'll we do?
She: Let's just sit by the pool and relax.
He: Good idea. Follow me. Okay, now
that we've sat by the pool and relaxed,
what'll we do?
She: Look at that moon, Henry. What
does it make you think about?

He: Whether our upcoming joint space
effort with the Russians will offend the
Chinese, thus endangering the delicate
global balance of powers we have achieved.
She: I love it when your voice gets
all husky like that. Henry? Do you think
we could have a little home of our own
in the country some day?
He: Of course. I've always wanted
a home in a little country of my own some
day.
She: And a son who could grow up
to be President?
He: Or even Secretary of State. Now
what'll we do?
She: Well, we could play cards.
He: How about dominoes? I have a
theory about dominoes • Or' what about
television. Maybe my favorite program's
on.
She: I'm tired of watching "Let's
Make a Deal."
He: Well, then, perhaps I'll just have
one little telephone call to The White
House before dinner. One little telephone
call never hurt anybody.
She (alarmed): Henry, you promised!

You know how you are, dear. One call
leads to another and first thing you
know, you'll be off on another global talking binge.
He (indignantly): I can take it or leave
it alone.
She: That's good, dear. So you just
sit there and relax. And stop biting your
fingernails.
He: Okay, I've sat and relaxed. Now
what'Il we do?
She: Well, we could -- you know -go to bed.
He: Bed? I never go to bed before
2 a.m. local standard time. Wait a minute.
I _ want to make a few phone calls and
you want to go to bed. Oh, we're going
to have a perfect honeymoon!
She: You mean you'll call while I
go to bed?
He: No, I mean we're going to have
great fun together. Are you ready? (happily) Okay, let's negotiate.

Japanese boycott urged to stop whale slaughter
(CPS)--a group of US conservation groups, coordinated by the
Animal Welfare Institute, (A WI),
have called for a boycott of all
Japanese products in an attempt
to force the Japanese government to put an end to its slaughter of whales.
Japan has ignored a 53-0 vote
of the United Nations Conference
of the Environment calling for
a 10 -year moratorium on whaling. Japan has also ignored the
rulings of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) to the
same effect
•
"This total disregard for international opinion and the warnings of the IWC's_ o~n scle_ntists
leaves conservahomsts with no
recourse except taking sanctions
against the Japanese," Christine
Stevens, head of the A WI explained.
Of an original population of
more than 4 million whales, only
a few hundred thousand exist toda v.
The $100 million Japanese
whaling industry is controlled by
the great trading and manufacturing conglomerates of Japan.
They justify their slaughter of
whales (14,477 last year) by
claiming they need the meat to
feed their people. However, whale
meat represents only about 1%
of the Japanese protein diet.
"Japan is a wealthy nation that
can readily afford alternative
food sources," Steyens . commented. "Until the Japanese reccognize their responsibility to
save the whales from extinction,,
Americans should stop buying·
Japanese cars, motorcycles, tel -

evisions and cameras. "
Not only is the whaling practice threatening the survival of
whales, it is also very cruel,
according to experts.
Dr. Harry Lillie, whohassailed on whaling ships as a surgeon
pointed out that a whale is caught
by shooting grenade tipped harpoons from cannons into its intestines. Once the whale is harpooned, the whaling boat cuts its
engines and forces the whale
to pull the ship, which may weigh
400 tons, until it bleeds to death.
"If we could imagine a horse
having two or three explosive

I

,

spears driven into it and then
made to drag a heavy butcher's
truck while blood poured over the
roadway until the animal collapsed an hour or more later, we
should have some idea of what a
whale goes through," Lillie said.
Groups currently involved include the National Wildlife Federati on, Friends of the Earth, Environmental Action, Defenders
of Wildlife, and the Environmental Policy Center, as well as student groups.
Further information can be obtained from 11.WI at PO Box
3650, Washington DC 20007.

With both Board and Student Body elections coming up next
month, we as students will have an opportunity for elective rather
than rhetorical input to the administrative procedures that determine
our educational environment.

M this time we see the Board considering tuition increases

and the possible ratification this year of a new legislative process
for developing the goals and directions of the College Administration.

This new legislative process is described as being a participatory process for establishing priorities, policies, and procedures
for the College; and that the process must be developed with
faculty, classified, student and administrative participation. Starting
this week we will finally see student participation being sought. We
can only hope that any students chosen for this task will show more
concern for general student body interests than we have seen from
student leaders so far this year. Already we have seen tuition increases, college liability and Ashlane being dealt withby the College
with little student government input.

for election of
Board members
by Vanessa Delapp

Curry
Elections for three of the seven positions on the LCC • Board of Education will
be held May 7. The three open positions
are for Zone 3 (the Marcola, Springfield,
and McKenzie school districts), lone 5
(Lane County-Eugene School District4J),and
one Representative-ht-Large position. Zone
representatives must be residents of the
areas they are to represent, and at-large
members may reside anywhere within the
five county zones represented on the Board.
The lone 3 seat is being sought by three
candidates, including the incumbent Dr. Charlene Curry, who was selected by the Board
last year to replace Robert ackerman after
his resignation. -Challenging her are R.J.
"Ron" Sparks, currently the assistant Veterans Services Officer for Lane County,
and LCC student Jim Martin.
Dr. Charlene Curry, a part-time professor at the U of 0, says she has invested
herself in the college and feels she has
made a contribution to the "enhancement
of learning' ' and that she can continue to
do so.
She favors what she sees as total learning- -vocational, avocational, personal enrichment, and community service.
She
believes that all people should have the
opportunity for post-secondary school education all their lives, and feels that the community college provides this.
Dr. Curry spoke of the LCC Siuslaw

The "conservative element" in the com munity needs to be able to see beneath the
' j superficial appearances,' ' he said, and see
the community-oriented deeds that LCC has
performed, such as extending the Lane
Transit District.
He sees his concern for the college and
community as that ofa bridge-builder between
the community and the student body. Being on
"the establishment side of the fence," he
believes he has nevertheless shared college
student experiences as an '' outlook on life
that is not (completely) molded into the es.tablishment," but says he is mindful of his
role as a public servant working for the
students of LCC.
Jim Martin is a part-time LCC student.
He has attended Board meetings and talked to
Board members, and says he has received a
good response but is not satisfied with the way
the Board spends tax money.
Martin told the TORCH that the Board has
been responsive to student needs and concerns, but he feels that there is no real
means for student involvement. At present,
the ASLCC president sits on the Board as a
non-voting member$ and Martin says he has
seen only one president who really participated.
Martin says he wants the Board to represent the people rather than the school administration. He feels, fore xample, it is unfair to
cut back on teachers and facilities without
cutting back in administrative areas. He

agrees with this concept saying that the
people of Florence themselves need to develop their own programs, based on their
own needs. She believes in listening to
the people themselves--students and teachers
alike--to learn what they want and what
they think will be good for them.
She alsothinkscollectivebargainingwould
make for a stronger and more professional
faculty. She would like to see an increased
student and faculty involvement with the
Board, in general.
R.J. "Ron" Sparks, a Vietnam veteran,
is the hssistant Veterans Service Officer
for Lane County. He served as a drug
and alcohol counselor prior to his discharge from the Army. Sparks is a voting member of the Creek Indian Nation.
He expresses concern for the vocational
programs at LCC, and says he wants to see
a continued and perhaps added emphasis
placed on vocational training within the
school. He says he knows that LCC performs
an important function in preparing individuals
for the universities, but feels that it should
also concern itself with teaching skills to
prepare individuals for the "real world."
Sparks sees merit inmanyoftheprograms
but says that if elected he would like to see
continued emphasis placed on vocational
skills, but not to the detriment of the academic
program. "I feel it should be more than a
high school with ash trays.''
He also believes that there is a need for

Jack Hart, assistant to the student activities director,
was one of the people to participate in a program designed to help make the campus community more
aware of the special problems handicapped people encounter. Hart found LCC's specially-designed ramps
fairly
easy to maneuver, but found going through
a door-way a bit more difficult.

If you saw Jack Carter, dean of students, wheeling around the
campus in a wheel chair last week, don't worry--he's only trying
it on for size.
Carter was participating in part of a program : initiated by the
handicapped students of LCC designed to help make the campus
community more aware of the special problems handicapped people
encounter every day. "I think it's a terrific thing--by people doing
this they become aware of our problems," was the feeling expressed
by Dick hpker, president of the Handicapped Student ~ssociation (HSA).
Gerry Rasmussen, dean of instruction, spent a day on crutches
and found that, "The thing that strikes you immediately is the lack of
freedom. Unless you put yourself into the other person's position, you
don't really understand it."
n.lthough Lane is designed to provide mobility for handicapped
people, "We can make it better," according to Dave Edgmon, a handicapped student and the temporary director of the Student Awareness
Center.
Adam Smith, president of the Native american Student association
(NA.SA), went for a day without sight. "It's really a lonely feeling,"

should be included in the bargaining process.
She believes that the school should continue to provide quality education for the
variety of students--old, young, veterans,
handicapped--and to respond to their needs
and give them an education to meet those
needs. She believes LCC is attempting to
do this, but also feels that it is not responding fast enough to needs and changes.
Running for representative-at-large is
incumbent Richard Freeman. He has served
a four-year term on the Board and is a
U of O research assistant. Freeman's opponent, Irvin Fletcher, is an Employment
Orientation Specialist for the Division of
Corrections in Salem, and the Executive
Secretary of the Eugene Labor Council.
Freeman told the TORCH that he is
familiar with community education systems,
having attended such schools in California.
He added that he is knowledgeable of the
structure of LCC programs, and says he has
seen the college grow from nothing to a system
with "considerable impact" on the community.
Freeman supports the vocational programs and feels these programs should be
the leading factor in the system and should be
able to satisfy all demands put upon it.
Concerning the LCC Board of Education
itself, he sees public apathy as a problem:
The public does not attend Board meetings,
he says, and it does not vote or participate
in elections.
Freeman also believes (Continued on page 8)

he said. "It's an experience Iwon't forget." Smith said he had to slow
down his everyday activities and that it was much harder to work,
adding that, "I was really conscious of people staring."
Snoe Hennessey, who spent a day confined to a wheel chair, said,
"It made me feel kind of insecure. People looked at me with either
sympathy or apathy in their eyes." She said it wasn't all bad, though:
"Some people helped me with the doors, they had consideration--that
made me feel good.''
Speech Instructor Virginia DeChaine, who was also in a wheel chair,
found that "you have a strange feeling talking to people if they are
standing up- -it's a psychological thing. You get a really lonesome
feeling," but added, "people can also be very kind and helpful."
Ms. DeChaine pointed out another problem faced in a wheel chair.
"You have to be careful going down the ramps; you could get going
too fast and crash."
The HSn also sponsored a wheel chair basketball game Friday
night to raise money to buy a van with a wheelchair lift so it can

Wom en captu re seco nd I Titan
By Mellisa Olsen
Lane's women's track team
grabbed second place Thursday
in a four way meet held at Mt.
Hood Community College. The
Titan women finished a scant
5 points behind OregonState University, totaling 101 points to the
winner's 106.
There were two meets held
simultaneously, causing 1oo s e
organization and delays in several events. Portland State lacked a place to hold its four-way
meet with Oregon, Oregon College of Education and Southern
Oregon College so PortlandState
and Mt. Hood pooled together to
form two meets running simultaneously.
Cheryl Bates continued her
improvement in the mile run -this time holding a 200 yard
lead throughout the entire run.
Ms. Bates took first with the
mile time of 5:17.7, as Leslie
Hillman of Linfield picked-up
second in 5:53.3.
Ms. Bates doubled back in the
880 where she teamed with Melissa Olson. Ms. Bates claimed
second with a time of 2:26.9
while Ms. Olson was capturing

sixth with a 2:44.0 clocking.
LCC's Kristi Nelson ran a
29.2 time in the 220 yard dash,
good enough for fifth place.
In the 100 meter hurdles Lane's
veteran Lisa Estes captured second in 17.4, with Lynn Juilfs
coming up third in 17 .8.
Running the 200 meter hurdles
was Sue Hansen in 38.9. Ms.
Hansen also competed in the
long jump.
Poor handoffs handicapped the
440 yard sprint relay team. The
team, composed of Ms. Estes,
Ms. Juliffs, Ms.. Olson and Ms.
Nelson, took fourth place with
a time of 57 .0. The 880 yard
relay team also was plagued
by poor handoffs as they came
in fourth in 2:06.2.
Susan Cooley, Lane's women's
track coach, said, "We hope by
the am meet (next Saturday)
to have filled in the events we
lack, such as the 100 yard dash,
440 yard run, 400 meter hurdles, and the mile relay, just to
gain scoring; not times."
Once again the field events
proved to be areas of strength
for Lane's women. The javelin

Runners snatch
tri-meet victory
By Steve Busby
Lane Community College came
from behind in the last two events Saturday to tie the University of Oregon for first place
in the Oregon JV Invitational
at Hayward Field, with identical
scores of 70 points. The Oregon
College of Education placed third
in the team scoring with 62,
after leading Lane throughout
most of the meet.
Before the meet it looked like
the cold wind and rain would conspire to hold the performances
down. But the athletes ignored
the elements to post a series
of season and personal bests.
Sprinter Dale Warren emerged
as the only double winner in the
College Division, with victories
in the 100 and 220. His times of
9. 7 and 21.9 top the season list
for Titan sprinters. Warren also
anchored the Titan 440 relay team
to a win -- he received the baton with a two-yard lead and pulled away to win by nearly ten.
Tim Williams, school record
holder in the mile, dropped down
to the 880 and won easily in the
time of 1:55.6. Williams later
doubled back in the two-mile and
set a season's best with a time
of 9:16.8.
Taking Williams place in the
mile was Rod Cooper, whoclocka lifetime best of 4:19.4 while

Printing staff gains praise

The LCC Printing and Graphics

from an east coast graphics

Don Johnson, graphics specialist in the Learning Resource
