Tuition highlights

LCC Board meeting

Several students protested a
proposed tuition increase at the
lee board of Education meeting
Wednesday. The increase ofapproximately five percent is unofficially tied to the increased tax
base which will be presented to
the public during the May 28
primary election.
Robin Tappan, newly elected
ASL CC publicity director, told
the Board that students shouldn't
have to "help cushion inflation"
for LCC employees through a
tuition increase. He also said,
''It's harder for us to come up
with money for beans" than it is
for LCC faculty, staff and administrators.
Two months ago the_ Board
was shown a- tentative 1974-75
operating budget outline that projected a $10.1 million budget, up
about $1 million over the current
year. The Board agreed to ask
the voters to raise the college's
property tax base from $2.6
million to $3.59 million at the
May 28 primary election. The
current tuition rate of $90 was
raised from $80 two years ago.
The Board took no action Wednesday on the proposed raise,
but generaJlyagreed that it should
maintain the same percentage
of tuition revenue that it has
in the past, which, according
to Board Chairman Stephen Reid,
is at "20 or 25 per cent. At
this stage, we are two per cent
below.'
Tappan said, "there are thousands of other ways" to raise additional money for the college
instead of raising tuition. If tuition has to be raised, he said,
"I'd rather see part-time students pay for it (rather than
full-time) , so they can better
utilize the facilities.'' Tappan is
currently enrolled for 18 hours).
Board members have agreed
that students should proportionthat students should have the
tuition raise proportionately in
order for them to share in paying the increased costs.
Since the initial decision to
look for a higher tax rate ,
discussion has focused on the
ways in which the additional tuition revenue (about $80,000)
should be raised. So far, all tentative plans have shown students
taking full-time or over, carrying the burden of the hike. according to IDean of Students JackCarter, it is basically because
"students taking 10 hours pays
$9 a credit hour, while one taking 20 pays $4 per hour."
The Board directed Carter to
look into the possiblity of redistributing some of the burden of
tuition, possibly be establishing
a flat registration fee that would
be assessed all part-time and
full-time students' and perhaps
changing the definition of fulltime from 10 to 12 hours.
Current ASL CC Senator-atLarge Ginny albaugh had told the
Board Wednesday night, "I think
the time you're spending in discussing raising tuition is obscene."
Tappan told the Board that
he believes "it's a privilege for
instructors and administrators"

to work at LCC. But, he said he

Last week's school board elections saw Jim Martin, a Lane student, posted to the LCC Board
of Education. Martin was elected
to the Board by a 202 vote margin
over incumbent Charlene Curry

Second Vice-President. He said
he will continue as a student
through his term of office on the
Board, but probably won't get a
degree because," They don't have
a title for my interests -- I
don't want to be in a cubby-hole."
On the issues of tuition in-

elected Senator-at-Large David
Gorton, also a veteran, added,
"We (veterans) have no guarantee that our income will be
automatically increased ifprices

Tappan said that he believes
that he is worse-off financially
than a n LCC faculty member
"making $10,000, $20,000 or
$30,000 per year ... If the college needs more money, let it do
a little in-house cleaning, and see
if it can come up with the money
somewhere else."
Board member Charlene Curry
agreed with Tappan, but said,
"There's affluence today, but it's
not in education, it's in the society.''
Tappan responded that an ''unemployed teacher can get $75

can't get unemployment, and I
can't get a good job (while attending school) . . . The student

City Police. He also said, "Four

inforn: 1tion at hand or time for
consideration of the issue.
"The tuition increase is totally
unfair," he feels, "because students have already had too many
tuition hikes without having a
voting input into the decisions.
Paying tuition allows a feeling of
individualism and responsibility," he added, "but this should
include some degree of authority.
'' The Board represents 28 per
cent of the College's General
Fund revenue, but the student's
20 per cent is not represented,"
Martin claims. "The students
should develop a proposal to gain
meaningful input to the Board."
He said that in previous years
there were two student seats on
the LCC Budget Committee, but
noted that these weren't voting
positions due to legislative bar(Presently the Budget
riers.
Committee consists of the Board
members and one appointee made
by each member). He did say
that students could '' lobby for
legislative changes" that would
allow for student voting positions,
and that if 20 students went to
each Board or Budget meeting
"there'd be a hell of an impact."
He was careful to add, however,
that he won't permit a patriarchial favoritism for students to develop, saying the students will
best be helped when they help
themselves.
He says the Student Handbook
is a good way to get information
disseminated and that students
should have open access to the
information they want.

Martin says he fully supports
collective bargaining, but that
some people use inflation as an
excuse for higher wages without
considering realities along with
their requests. He said people
should consider the implications
of wage increases on tuition if
the tax-base proposal fails on
May 28.
''Student government is the
student's bargaining agent/' he
said, "and should work for
themselves,' he believes, however a representative body should
by available to the students if
there is a lack of trust by students in their student government. ' 1 My attendance at student government meetings speak
to my concern,' he said. ·"The
Board needs to direct the (college) administration to provide
continuity for all phases of the
college (management) including
the college and student government budgets, student services
and personnel services.'
Martin's statement that "Ed-,
ucation is an on-going process
during your whole life' is shown,
he believes, by his level of social
and political involvement.
Presently, he is a member of
c il of Governments,

.the Comprehensive Health Planning Committee, the Lane Transit
District Budget Committee, the
Governor's Commission on Handicapped Employment, and the
Governor's Commission of Architectural Barriers. He is the

Committee on Physical Disabilities.

Cesar Cha~ez speaks
at Uof O conference
"The farm workers in California are alive and well and continuing in their
struggle,'' was the me~::;ai~ bro1.1ght to Eug,me SundaJ by United Farm Workers
President Cesar Chavez as he spoke 1:>':!ftm!
erowd of about 1000 at the U of O.
A.lthoui:;h worU f.unous for his many year's work in the cause of the migrant
farm wor~<e rs in America, Cha ;ez de•;c ri'becl hims'.~lf as "just a guy," saying the
press creata<.; his image. This may be the case, but the faast that can be said is that
Chavez is a sma.11 ma.:1 speaking of file tr.ig~dY ,rnj burden of a nation.
Chavez was in Eugene to meet with local organizers and to ask for public support
of the United Farm Workers (UFW) boyi:!ott o! lettuce, grape_s and Gallo wb~!; w~1t·:1
are harvested by Teamster Union members who have the m-a.jority of current farm
labor contracts.
He described the UFW lettuce for the audience as "Western ice-berg head
lettuce, the only lettuce that looks like lettuce.'' He also said that "it's too difficult
to identify UFW grapes, so just don't eat grapes''; and he said there are two ways to
identify Gallo wine he wants boycotted -- the labels will have either Gallo or Modesto
printed on them.
"I'm happy with the LCC boycott of non-UFW lettuce," he said, "and thank the
Chicano Student Union (CSU) for their work,p but said he found it hard to believe
that President Clark (of the P of O) was making an issue of the boycott.
"Someday when the history of labor is written, this will be the most shameful
period,'' the period when the Teamsters (union) and growers made book to destroy
another union (the UFW).
"They cannot get away with it,'' he said, "the clergy, students and workers union groups the UFW would win. "The growers and Teamsters are badly mistaken
will throw them out of the fields.'' He noted that currently the Teamsters Union is about the American people's willingness to accept a boycott/' Chavez claimed,
"no one ever gets fed-up fighting for justice and truth.''

Chavez claimed the UFW was the first union to outlaw pesticides in the fields
Chavez gave a brief history of the farm worker's campaign in this country. He
said that on April 15, 1973 in Cochille, California, 6,500 marchers organized a picket to protect the workers, the first to provide clean drinking water to the workers and
of the fields -- "The biggest and bloodiest strike in the history of agriculture,' · the first to provide sanitation facilities. He asserted that the Teamster contracts

over 67 injunctions had been served against the UFW.
After all the years of struggling and picketing Chavez still believes that non"How could this be? How could the judges read 67 injunctions this quickly?"
violence is the workers' most powerful tool. "We're not saints or a_ngels," he says,
asked Chavez.
He claimed that the Teamsters paid $65. 70 a day to "goons" to break the picket '' just men and women trying to build a union.''
Chavez said that at the height of the beatings and jailings in Fresno last year,

In his final remarks Chavez said, "a 20 year vicious cycle of poverty and

Jones clears winning height ,

Bates: Recrui ting in high gear
recruiting, the
Basketball
game of chance where all the
cards are held by the high school
seniors, has kept Lane Basketball
Coach Dale Bates hopping during
the past few weeks.
If the preliminary remarks
are to be taken seriously, Bates
may have been one of the lucky
ones that comes away a winner.
Last season's Lane Titan
basketball team finished fifth out
of the Oregon Community College
Athletic Association playoffs for
the first time in four years.
Much of the trouble that the
Titans ran into could be traced
to a lack of height and experience
This year
on the front line.
Bates doesn't want to have to go
through the same ordeal he did
last year.
Consequently, Bates has been
in touch with, at the latest census, around 35 prospects. Of
this number Bates says, "We
hope to bring at least 10 on
campus next fall.''
He continued, "Mainly, we

need help on the front line. We
are still looking for a solid big
man, the likes of Mark Johnson
or Tim McConnell. If we could
land a man of this caliber we
could be a title contender.'
The search for a '' solid big
man" has led Bates to all corners of the state, and in some
cases out of the state. A few of
the names being tossed around
are Keith Massey of Tillamook,
a 6'6'' center, Charlie Morehead, •6'4" from Grants Pass,
and James Bell from Indianapolis, Indiana.
Morehead would cover two
sports--in track he has a 6-6
high jump to his credit; Bell is
also a trackman--he runs the
100, 220 and 440.
Talent at other positions cannot be turned away, however,and
Bates has made it a point to go
after the most talented players
he can find. Two of the best
are Mike Gregg, a 6'2" guard
from Willamette High School; and
Rob Woods, a 6'2'' All-State

guard from Parkrose High School in Portland.
Should Bates be able to land
all of the prep athletes he has
talked to from Marist High School, a AA school in Eugene, he
may not have to look any further.
Bates has contacted no less than
four of the five starters from
last year's team. They include
Mike Conklin a 6'3' hll State
forward, Jerry Freitas, Joe
Hibbard 6'4" and Don Breeden
6'5".
The guard position should be
skillfully manned, should Bates
land some of the fine prospects
he has talked to. Greg Mackay
at 6'2", an All-Metro league
selection from Central Catholic,
should work well as a running
mate for Davey Ohmer. Ohmer
started last year for the Titans
as guard but stands only 5'10".
h guard of Mackay's heightcould
compliment Ohmer's outside
shooting.
Bates' search for talent has
gone beyond the State boundaries,
as far as Seattle and Indianapolis,
Indiana. Gary Brewer, a hustling
5'10'' guard may fit well into
Bates' hustling offense and pressing defense. Brian McDonald,
also from Indianapolis, should
add yet another 6'2" frame to
hdd Ed
the Titans line-up.
Tinner from Seattle to the growing list to 6'2" athletes.
If these seniors hold the
cards, then Bates has an ace in
the hole in his returning lettermen.
Topping the list are allconference selections Rob Smith
and Mike Reinhart. These two,
along with Davy Ohmer, figure to
give Bates the frame around
which to assemble his recruits

The Regionals.
To many Lane athletes, this contest represents the last opportunity to meet the qualifying standards for the national championships.
To others it means one more week of rest for sore and
injured legs.
Lane Coach Al Tarpenning sees the meet coming down to a
race between five teams--Northern Idaho, Southern Idaho, Ricks
College of Idaho, Treasure Valley Community College and Lane.
Tarpenning said, HWe have to be rated as one of the favorites
along with'' the other four schools. But, he added, "they will be
coming after us as a group.''
Everyone would like to knock-off Lane. Ji.nd every competitor
wants to finish ahead of a Titan.
With this as a general concern, the recent rash of injuries to
key performers has given Tarpenning more than the usual share
of pre-meet ulcers.
Lane's track team, instead of looking like a defending titlist is
beginning to resumble the last remnants of the Battle of Waterioo.
It's harder finding space in the LCC training room that it is finding
a front row seat at a stripper's convention.
Getting everyone healthy has become in easingly difficult during the past few weeks.
an early season injury to long jumper~ __'f Hampson sufficiently
recovered to let him set a school record in the last dual meet of
the year. Hampson was regaining confidence, only to pull a ham string in practice last week. He had to scratch from the conference
championships.
Hamstring injuries to quartermiler Rick Nickell and converted
quartermiler Dana Tims have sidelined them both during the past
two weeks. The outlook in both cases is not rosy.
Meanwhile, premier miler Tim Williams continues to fight back
from a recurring bout with bursitis in his knee, which has already
caused him to refrain completely from two meets and forced him
to compete on a half-effort, unattached basis in another.
Those trackmen not worrying about injuries are still shooting
for a spot on the team that will represent Lane at the national
championships in Texas.
According to Tarpenning, there are three ways that an athlete
can qualify for the national meet:
•The athlete can equal or better the listed qualifying standard;
•The athlete can finish either first or second in the regional
meet;
• Or the athlete can be ranked high enough in the national listing
for his coach to recommend his inclusion in the meet.
Many schools (those without funding problems) use all these
methods to give their athletes a chance to see the competition. They
do this with full knowledge that the man may not be able to make it
past the first round of the first flight of the quarterfinal preliminaries.
Lane does not have abundant funding for track travel.
a.s a result, most of the athletes ignore the posted standards
and go by ''Tarpennings Rules.'' Only those people who meet the
stringent requirements set by Tarpenning are able to continue.
Often this results in people being left home who have bettered
the qualifying mark. h case in point is the six-mile, where in the
first meet of the year, both Dan Aunspaugh and Scott Richardson
met the necessary standards of 31 :30.0. But, owing to the strict
nature of "Tarpennings Rules," both go into the regional meet
still looking for a place on the traveling squad.

Lane's hopes for points in the
final day of competition fell through when the 440 relay and the
mile relay each failed to make
it through the preliminaries. The
mile relay team, composed of
Melissa Olson, Jan Peterson,
Julie Angal and Cheryl Bates,
broke the school record with
a time of 4: 26.0 in placing a
non-advancing fifth in their heat.
The top four teams in each heat
advanced to the finals.
But Lane distance running star
Cheryl Bates reached the finals
in both the mile and 880. She
nabbed sixth place in the mile
with a 5:30 clocking, then doubled back in the 880 to pick
up fifth with a 2:24.8 timing.
Lisa Estes qualified for the finals in both the 100 and 200
meter hurdles with times of 17 .o
and 32.9, respectively. Ms. Estes
failed to finish in the scoring column in either race for Lane,
however.
With Judy Heidenrich in both
the javelin and discus and teammate Julie angal in the javelin
the possibility of points for the
Titan women looked promising
in the field events.
But the weather on Saturday-the
wind and rain-- proved
undoing for Lane's hopes. Judy
Heidenrich garnered Lane's only
field events points, placing third
in the javelin with a heave of
131' 6''.

the National Junior College Track Championships.
The talent is there -- the Titans boast their strongest team
ever. The coaching is there -- Al Tarpenning has gained 1st and
5th the last two years in national cross country championships
and brought the track team to a seventh place finish last year.
What is missing is money.
hlthough Tarpenning has launched a massive campaign to collect
the $4000-$6000 needed through contributions he is far short of hi~
goal. The amount raised thus far
would not even send the team to
Springfield, much less Houston,
Texas.
LCC's dilemma can be attributed to many factors.
First, LCC does not use any
tax-originated funds to send it's
athletes to national championships. The college operating budget doesn't allow for any expenses for athletic teams tra velling to other-than conference
and regional competition. It
seems a little more than silly
to permit athletes to go all the
way through the regional contests to prove they are ready
to compete on the national level,
then deny them the funds to go.
But that is the way it is, and
will remain until the athletic
funding contract with the students
(throug~ the ASLCC) comes up
for re-negotiation in a couple
of years.
Second, if the money needed
Ta rpe n n i ng
is not raised there is no provision in any budget to make up the slack. In fact, no budgets
contain travel expenses to national compeition as line items. So,
if the amount raised proves to be too little, then otherwise qualified athletes will stay home.
Fund-raising events are a fact of life for the LCC Athletic
Department. It will cost approximately $360 for each athlete,
and figure between 10 :ind 15 athletes selected to go.
Next, you must figure in the coaches costs and the incidental
expenses that come up like renting a car and long-distance phone

If three cents profit on every sale of a candy bar or drink were
levied at each home basketball game, a total of $6,000 results -that's 5,000 cokes and 15,000 Hershey Bars.
Money has been raised through contributions of concerned
people. Track fans from all over Oregon have come to the aid of
LCC. Their tax-deductible contributions have put a serious dent
in the total needed, however more is needed.

Spikers grind to crown

Marie Burt leads Lane 220 sweep

by Steve Busby
LCC went into the Oregon Community College .athletic Association championships Friday and
Saturday rated as the favorite
to walk-off with its fourth straight team title.
It did. But Lane Coach nl
Tarpenning was far from pleased
with the way the Titans went about
the task.
Lane amassed a total of 209
points, mainly through a talented
group of runners, to pull away
from Southwestern Oregon, which
was second with 116.
Sprinter Mark Burt led a surprising contingent of Titans in
the short races, winning the 100
and 220 and running on the vietorious 440 and mile relay teams.
For his- efforts Burt was named
the top point winner for the meet.
The long jump, where Lane
occupied four of the top six
spots in this year's conference
standings, nearly turned into a
disaster area. The Titans battled the weather and technique
problems Friday, but the final
results showed Lane picking up
third, fourth and fifth places,
well below the hoped for finishes.
And an upset of large proportions was averted Saturday in
the high jump when Bruce Jones
took up the slack left by the subpar performance of school record
holder Kelly Graham.

mittee members will continue to
insist the tapes be surrendered.
But there is another reason that
committee members want them.
Of the people involved in the
key conversations, only President Nixon and H. R. Haldeman
knew about the recording system.
Some impeachment committee
members have saidprivatelythat
conversations seem
certain
staged. The President, they
argue, could have entrapped
people by the way he discussed
Watergate.
Our sources say the committee
will move ahead even if the
President refuses to turn over the
tapes. They will merely assume
an "adverse inference' ' in cases
where requested documentation
is suppressed by the White House.
Neither "scenario" promises
to be a pleasant one for the President.
Judiciary Expert: The House
Judiciary Committee has hired a
secret expert to help decipher all
those "unintelligible" and "inaudible' ' gaps in the White House
tapes. She is a blind woman, with
enhanced hearing, who can make
out conversations that sound inaudible to normal secretaries.
The committee has succeeded
in restoring some of the unintelligible conversations that the White
House omitted from the transcripts.
So far, none of the restored
conversations are tremendously

The White House
significant.
deletions do not appear to have
been censored. apparently, the
individual White House secretaries decided what was too undecipherable for them to transcribe.
The expletives, of course, were
deleted from the transcripts as
a matter of taste. The omitted
words were common, crude barracks profanity including vulgar
ethnic slurs.
There are still some unexplained gaps in several of the
President's dictabelt recordings
which the White House turned
over to the prosecutors. at
least one of the documents submitted by the White House was
also cropped . And, of course,
some of the transcribed tapes
haven't been submitted in their
original form.
The House committee wants
these and other tapes and most of
the members want to listen to the
tapes themselves to determine
from the voice inflections what
the President really meant by
some of his controversial statements.

than we anticipated.
However, more should be done, according to
Jim Martin, the part time LCC student recently
elected to a seat on the Board of Education, who
is also on the ASH Housing Committee. Martin
is considering submitting a minority report to
the Board outlining the original agreements and
the present rent-setting and management policies
of ASH, Inc. Martin was a member of a Student
Senate working with ASH, Inc. when the construction of the A.SH!ane housing project was first
proposed for LCC students.
Robert Mention, the Board member who moved
to establish the ASH Housing Committee at the
March 13 meeting, stating that if something is
wrong '' of course we'll do something . . . I'm
not sure what our legal ground is, but we can get
our lawyer on it.'' Mention said that it should be
the responsibility of the Board to find out about
the Lane students' complaints with ASH, Inc.,
and vice versa. He was also interested in studying the financial status of ASH, Inc.
But Bill Mansell, controller in the Business
Office and member of the ASH Housing Committee
has stated his belief that LCC "can't make any
demands' ' as far as a financial investigation. He
did make it clear that he will get "any financial
information that aSH, Inc. makes available or
is available (including the HUD audit).' ' Mansell further emphasized that LCC has "no legal
responsibility -- even though we still think we
should look into it in honor of the students'
points.'

Last minute, reports from the ,~ssociated Press
(aP) may significantly change the direction of the
investigation currently being conducted by LCC's
Ash Housing Committee.
at 9:41, last night the A.P reported that the
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) department of the Federal government has ordered rent
price roll-backs to ASH housing projects at eight
northwest college campuses, or face repossesion
by HUD.
According to Jim Martin, newly elected LCC
Board member, this roll-back order will include
CC's ashlane housing project.
L_
According to the March 13 Board of Education
meeting report, the Board requested "the college
Administration to establish a committee . . . to
review the audit by HUD, look into the allegations and problems which have been discussed,
and report back to the Board.' ' The committee
decided in its first meetings to conduct a survey
of LCC students living at the ASH apartments.
Jay Jones, director of Student hctivities and
chairman of the ASH Housing Committee, told the
TORCH, the committee is only" concerned with ...
Lane Students' and if the students are "getting
what they contracted for.' In a progress report
memorandum dated May 2 from Jones to President Schafer Jones said: ''The hshlane Committee (the same as the ASH Housing Committee)
had anticipated submitting a final report of tenant concerns to the Board (of Education) at its
May 8 meeting. However, we failed to meet that
deadline because the survey process took longer
