LCC the·week of may 21, 1974 vol. 11 no. 30 lane community college, 4000 east 30th avenue, eugene, oregon 97405 ASH ten-ants may get rent rebate On May 13, the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) department of the_ federal govern:r:nent ordered a rent roll back at all eigh~ Adult Student Housing (ASH), Inc. housing units (including hshlane) in Oregon and Washington, to be effective June 12. The roll back will not be active. However, action may be taken to supply rebates to tenants affected by the previous improper rent hikes, according to HUD. "We have formally responded . . . in the form of an appeal,' ' commented Fred Bender of aSH, Inc. Contacted in Portland Monday morning, Bender expressed a "willingness to abide by any decisions they (HUD) make" but further expressed that hSH, Inc. does nol '' expect at this time to roll back our rents' ' because of the appeal filed. If the appeal has not been resolved by June 12, the effective date of the rollback, Bender said he "would imagine that we would have to reduce rents on an interim basis." • Paul Timmons, press officer for HUD in Portland, said the rent roll back was ordered because hSH is supposed to adhere in questing an increase in rental rates. On camera Members of the Interim Committee on Education met Thursday in LCC's television studios to discuss certification of school nurses and a bill draft on early childhood education. The meeting, which was cha.ired by Rep. Larry Perry (center), was filmed by a LCC television crew and is scheduled to be aired later on cable channel 7, time to be announced.

He apparently purchased the painting at the Saturday Market, only to recognize it in last week's issue of the TORCH. Ross Barton, head of LCC Security, reported there was a vehicle and two suspects involved in the incident. Barton said the vehicle is an older VW van with "poorly done' · grey primer paint, faded yellow curtains, and a black and white identification plate with the initials "GB' on the back of the van.

One of the two suspects was identified as male, caucasian, 19 to 22 years old, 5' 8' to 5' 10", 160 to 170 lbs. , with long reddish blond hair, a full-face, and an untrimmed beard. The other was described as male, caucasian, 25 to 30 years old, 5' 8" to 5' 10' ', 175 to 200 lbs. (stout figured), with long black hair, a full-face, and an untrimmed beard.

According to Bender, ASH went through this process "nearly a year ago . . . we did advise HUD of our intent.'' Bender said .nSH "submitted (our) budget to Portland," but when they received no response, ASH "went ahead and put the increase into effect.' ' The Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (CSPIRG) has ''been advocating a rent reduction for over a year. now and we think it's about time HUD acted," according to a May 14 press release . .n.s a result of OOPIRG allegations of mismanagement of ASH, Inc., HUD is now involved in an audit. hccording to Timmons, it's a "total financial investigation review of their (A.SH) management and operational practices.' · This review should be complete sometime this summer, according to Timmons. LCC's .n.shlane has also been the subject of an informal inquiry by the LCC Board of Education. The Board formed an A.SH Housing Committee March 13 to review allegation~ brought to the Board's attention by several Ashlane tenants. according to committee chairman Jay Jones, the committee "had been aware of alleged mismanagement of funds, but unsure of the specific nature.'' •The aSH Housing Committee, according to Jones, has compiled tenant complaints and the Ashlane manager's list of completed repairs and will meet Friday morning to word its final report and recommendation for the Board. a copy will be given to ASH, for response and comments, he said. The report will then be submitted with J.SH's response and comments to the LCC Board of Education on June 5 for action. Jonathan West, Equal Opportunities adviser to PresidentSchafer and Ash Housing Committee member, told the TORCH the Board of Education does not have any legal ground to stand on in the event ASH is found to be disregarding student contracts or agreements, or mismanaging their Federal loans and their terms. about the only thing the Board could do, West said, is "withdraw support and endorsement." He further commented the Board is "deeply concerned" about students' complaints but "didn't want to get into the housing business .."

I - .W -·-•atLY Soviets Would Like Summit Talks Postponed @ by Jack Anderson WAS HING TON-The White House has sought ·to reassure the American people that President Nixon won't go to Moscow next month in a position of weakness. But sources privy to the preparations for the summit meeting tell us a different story. They say the Kremlin is fully aware that the President has been badly weakened by Watergate. The Soviets have hintedprivately that they wouldn't mind postponing the summit meeting. The Soviets, apparently, don't think they would be able to take advantage of Nixon's weakness. For Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, a shrewd, diplomatic chess player will be at his side. However, the Soviets would prefer to deal with someone who can commit the United States. The Kremlin leaders are disappointed with President Nixon's inability to gain promised trade conces, sions from Congress for Russia. They blame his failure on his Watergate trouoles. Largely because of Watergate, the Strategic il.rms Limitation Letters Dear Editor: I am a · student at LCC and I attend high school completion courses twice a week in the evenings. Last week, during the student body elections, I went one afternoon to vote since I am a student here. ht the polls, I was told that I could not vote because I am not taking college credit classes. How this logically concludes that I can't vote is beyond me. I am a student, so what type of classes I take shouldn't matter. I hope that LCC's newly elected officers will rectify this situation soon. Sincerely, Francie Killian Dear Editor: Why don't we recycle tin cans at school? I've noticed large a mounts of empty tennis ball cans, peanut can tops, and other metal cans in the trash baskets. We can save evergy with a little effort on the part of the student body. Give the students some motivation toward energy conservation. Baskets can be placed outside of each building indicating that metal only be placed in them. As far as recovering all metal around campus, perhaps it can be fitted into an activity of one of the conservation classes. School is where we come to learn, right? M.M. Cruz Talks have bogged down. Kissinger is still engaged in intense diplomacy with Soviet Foreign Minister .n.ndrei Gromyko. But our sources believe the Soviets won't sign any meaningful agreement until Nixon either has regained his political strength or has been replaced. This means nothingworthwhile is likely to come from the Moscow meeting between Soviet leader Brezhnev and President Nixon. The President may as well stay _ home. Reading and watching the news lately gives one the impression that the world is trapped in a" Combat" re-run or possibly a segment of "Mission: Impossible." We have the choice of either keeping score of the death tolls in the Middle East, Ireland or Los Angeles, or speculatng about Congress' version of "Let's Make A Deal.'' Not caring for these choices we look to our own microcosm of the world -- the LCC campus. We now have the opportunity for some light-hearted observations of "low finances" as practiced by student leaders. Just after the recent student elections, one high-placed student official told us, "An audit (of the student records) is just good business management," and would hopefully allow for some form of fiscal responsibility. Time marches on, and we continue to wait for action. At this time, our student leadership is vehemently opposing any increases in tuition while they condone increases in student fees, and without the benefit of any plans for administering the money. Now it appears these people will not even have next year's proposed budget ready for consideration until four. days after the end of the school year. It seems the new student leadership will follow an old tradition, or rather be forced to follow it due to the timing of elections. It's a tradition of conducting controversial business during the summer, with very few students around. boring hrab leaders who don't agree with his calls for a '' People's Wa°r'' against Israel and the United States, using the oil embargo, terrorist attacks and other wild measures. ~addafi is now trying to bring pressure on the il.rab oil ministers to restore the oil embargo against the United States at their next scheduled meeting on June 12th. These extremist tactics, how-· ever, could backfire. One secret report tells of a discussion between a Cl.n. agent and an oil company official about putting up $50 million for Qaddafi's as- @ (i) a reminder to those students interested in college finances: On May 28, we will be faced with a property tax-base election that will, in all probability , be the single greatest factor in deciding our tuition costs for the next two years. at their March 14 meeting, the LCC Board 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. While this indicates a tuition increase if the tax measure passes, it does not mean a stabilized tuition if it fails. Rather we can only expect to shoulder even more of the operating cost of the College if the measure fails. This puts us in an uncomfortable position. Not only do we pay tuition, but we pay property taxes through our rent monies. If the measure passes we face two cost increases, and if it fails we face the possible prospect of tuition costs having to make up much of the difference. While neither route is appealing, the increase in property taxes will render the lowest cost and give us two years to work out a solution to our dilemma. Who knows, maybe in two years the concept of college financing through property taxes will be declared un~onstitutionaJ , }Paving 11s a whnJt:1 nt:1w balJ gamo.

STREET STRIFE: The White House has received secret warnings to prepare for violence in the ghettos this summer. Skyrocketing inflation has stripped the poor of money to buy necessities. Many will be forced to resort to crime in order to survive. Rising unemployment has also' hit unskilled workers the hardest. Hundreds of thousands of teen-agers will be turned into the street this summer without jobs. This is the sort of situation that breeds crime and violence. The ghettos are growing restless and outbreaks of violence and vandalism have already been reported in big cities.

Tape experts have charged that the gap was caused by several deliberate erasures. We can report that the grand jury has been hearing testimony from a number of Secret Ser-vi~e witnesses concerning the taping system. hccording to our informants, the Secret Service has carefully briefed its witnesses for this session of the grand jury. But under telling questioning from the Watergate prosecutors, the agents have explained some of the specifics about the White House recording system. Behind the closed doors of the grand jury room, they have revealed Secret Service technical experts rigged the system. It consisted, they have stated, of two tape recorders which were controlled by timers. Each was set to begin operating at 12hour intervals. The problem was ,that the machines did not have tape reels which could record a full 12 .. hours of conversation. This was the reason, they have told the grand jury, that the tape ran out on the busy April Sunday a year ago when the Watergate cover-up was unraveling. The missing conversations, therefore, may be dropped from investigation. • FASHION EYEWEAR a means of facilitating the magazine."

Doonesbury "star" goes to law school, after rejections (CSP)--Doonesbury comic strip character Ms. Joan Caucus has been accepted at the law schools of Boston University and Georgetown following application to those schools on her behalf by Garry Trudeau, who draws the Doonesbury strip. Trudeau has applied on Ms. Caucus's behalf to law schools across the country. Almost all of the schools rejected her for various reasons. Boston . University originally rejected her, but then changed its mind after 300 students petitioned law dean Paul Siskind to rec9nsider her placement on the waiting list. Students supporting the petition drive argued that Caucus should be accepted because "her character is the type so sorely sought in today's time of moral crisis." . At the University of Californ.ia/ Berkeley Law School, _trouble arose because Ms. Caucus does not have a social security number. Following the practice of assigning to such persons the social security number of a per_son not likely to register at the University, school officials assigned her number 567-88-0515, which is President Nixon's number. Trudeau wrote on her behalf to the University saying that she was "reluctant to accept the Social Security number ofa known felon" and offered his ·own number. University officials, noting that their "out-of-state'' quota is filled, placed the Caucus application on their ·waiting· list, but said that her acceptance was "highly unlikely.''

The Titans concluded their season Sunday dropping a 7-0 decision to Clackamas in the post..:season tournament determining which Oregon Community College athletic association team would go to the Regional tournament. Lane battled the elements throughout the first part of the season having four games in a row rained out during one stretch. This, according to Coach Dwane Miller, contributed to a poor early season. "The improvement from the first ball game to the last was 100%,' said Miller. Linn-Benton traveled to Northern California during spring vacation adn, Clackamas, the team that went on to defeat Linn-Benton for the Regional play-off spot,. traveled to Idaho. This said !IUIIHlllllltlllllllll l lllfllllllllllllllllllllllflOIIIIIIUIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIUlflllllllllllllllllllUlllll lllllllftlllllllltlllllllllllllllllfllllll Miller "left us 4 or 5 games behind them throughout the season.' Pitching proved to be one of the Titans strong points this year. Lane boasted four pitchers capable of throwing almost equally well, giving tremendous depth. Ben Reichenberg, a freshman from Sheldon High School in Eugene, was perhaps the best of the Titan hurlers. Reichenberg, who was coached by Miller in high school before Miller took the head coaching job at Lane, was selected as AllConference. Cory Farstad, Don Wilson and Dan Merrill rounded out the staff that Miller called the best in the. League. "Overall we had the best pitching. We weren't able to hit the ball as well as Linn-Benton and Clackamas however,' he said. Gun Lap i By Dennis Myers • (continued on page seven) Blitz- Wei nhard Com pa ny, Por tland, Oregon I • lllllllUIIUUltlllllllllltlC• \ ! § Nationa ls bound i § I ! Lane's track team hasn't met with very stiff competition this~ year. They have won by such scores as 209 to 116, 154 to 42 and 149 to 60. Region 18 track teams were not up to the challenge that the Titans presented. However, as Coach al Tarpenning and his Titans left this morning for the National Junior College Track Championships in San Jacinto, Texas he harbored no such world beating thoughts. after scoring a record shattering 221 points in the regional contest Saturday, the Titans would seem in the driver's seat most anywhere they compete, but the National meet takes top individuals to wi11, not team depth. "If we can sc·ore in the top ten we will have done very well. We scored 24 points last year. If we can do that we will get in the top ten," said Tarpenning. It is a pity that the National meet is not a test of team depth. Of the 32 Titans who competed in the regional tneet all but four ser,red points placing in the top six in their event. Eighteen LCC athletes qualified for the trip to Nationals, yet only 10 or 12 wi!l be allowed to compete. To qualify, technically, a trackman must place first or second in the regional meet or hit a pre-set national standard -- that is not the way it is at Lane. "To go we would like to have him hit the standard," said Tarpenning. "I don't usuallv recommend anyone that I feel would not have a chance of gaining points in the nationals," he added. wmt tne problem really boils down to is money. There is not enough money to send all of the qualified athletes to Texas. bane uses no tax-supported funds to finance traveling to National Com- 1c, Dan Sprauer in 880.

"The event (the decathalon) is a nonteam srr1ring event, a invitational, so we couldn't rationalize L ane paying Kevin's way,' said a dejected father. Kevin has a good shot at winning or at least gaining au American honors, according to Tarp,m;:i [; T - ranks dwindled by lack of financial support, Tarpenning takes pride in speaking of some possible point-winners for the Titans. Tim Williams, a miler fighting back from a month long injury, has the fastest time in the Nation (4:09.2) in the mile. Subpar thPugh he is, Tarpenning said of Williams, "He has got a real good shot at it if he can run without limping. He's ranked as a contendu." Jeff Hampson uncorked a jump of 24' 3" at the regional test t ) move into the top five in the country and announce his presence as a pc·3sible point earner. Lane's fearsome duo of Kelly Grahm and Briwe Jones loom as placers in the high jump. Graham has a best of 6' 10' while Jones the regional champion, has gone 6' 8". Add t,:> ~i1at a supporting cast of Mark Burt and Vincent Woods in th,-~ sprints, Dan Sprauer in the 880, Rod Cooper and Carl Johnson in the three mile, John White in the weight events, Dan Aunspaugh in the six mile, and Tom Burrows in the javelin and triple jump, you have a contender for one of the top five places in the nation. Tarpenning admits it is hard choosing who will go and who will stay hor:.w. "It is hard to decide, I wish I could take everyone that qualitied,' ' he said. Tarpenning, who raised approximately $2,000 of the money needed through contacting people and asking for donations, hopes that J .?..:: year will see a bigger and better squad representing Lane at the Nationals. •A Kansas twister may seem tame compared to next year' s group of, hopefully, National Champions.

The Oregon Lun g Association's annual community service award for Lane County agencies has been presented to Lane Community College. The Association singled out LCC primarily for its participation i n last winter's Christmas Seal Classic basketball tournament held at the college. LCC was co-sponsor for the two-day tournament that featured teams from community college leagues in Oregon, California, and Idaho. Presentation ceremonies were held May 15 at the Association's regional meeting in Myrtle Point. Thine /ads retain crow n by Steve Busby 24 point splurge in the javelin, getting up a first from Tom Burrows second from Bruce Silver and fourth and fifth from Kevin Tarpenning and Belvin Taylor. Lane never looked back. The Titans jammed the throttle all the way to the stop with consecutive one-two finishes in the 100' and 220 dashes by Mark Burt and Vince Woods. Burt also ran on the first place 440 relay team and had the opening leg on the mile relay team that placed second. For his efforts, he was named top point winner and outstanding competitor. Burrows and Dennis!:>waim finished in a virtual dead-heat in the triple jump to give Lane another one-two punch (at 44' 9" and 44' 8 3/4' ) worth 18 points. hnd the pole vault, which has been one of the question marks for LCC this season, Warren Logan and Kevin Tarpenning fell in with the other Titans as they picked off s e c on d and third places. Their efforts were 13' 6' and 13' 0", respectively, while first place went to SWOCC at 14'. The high jump has occupied center stage for Lane the past few weeks and the regional meet was no exception. Bruce Jones, going counter to the popular trend towards the F osbury Flop with his conventional western roll technique, once again edged Craig Weatherspoon of Blue Mountain for the top spot. Jones, Weatherspoon and Kelly Graham all cleared 6' 6", with Jones winRing on fewer misses. After the meet, Coach Tarpenning said he was only slightly surprised about the massive point production of the Titans. "Before the meet, I mapped it out with us getting between 200 and 205 points, if we had a good day. I think the long jump on the first day sparked the kids. After that, we came up with practically all the loose points.' " Lane Track Coach Al Tarpenning echoed the comments that circulated through the gallery Saturday when he said, "This could perhaps be the b~st Lane team in history, if you Judge our . . overall strength." The Titans inspired this kmd of speculation with a methodical destruction of the cream of Region 18 track teams. Without mu_ch fanfare (or anything but a qmet workmanlike attitude) the Titans rolled up 221 points, the largest two day total ever in the Region 18 championships. This massive output demolished the previous record of 185 set last year by Lane. Southwestern Oregon won the battle for the second slot with a first-place finish in the pole vault, the last event completed. SWOCC edged Northern Idaho 74-69 after NI had made it close with a win in the mile relay. Running down the list of final results, Tarpenning focused on the field events as the area that gave the Titans their big lift: ' ' Our field event performance was one of the reasons we scored •so high " he said. "We placed • 't in quite' a few places I didn expect." Getting ·things rolling Friday, Lane's long jump crew picked up 18 points, IO from Jeff Hampson's school record 24' 2 3/4" leap for first. Fred Long set a personal record going 23' 3'' to grab third place, and Lloyd Hafer sewed up fifth with a jump of 22' 3". Not to be outdone, Lane's John White took second in the discus with a lifetime best of 152' I". His throw was not unexpected, since he's been hitting the 150 foot mark in practice the past few weeks. if Lane was in the driver's seat after the first day, then they took the other schools for a ride . Saturday. Lane jumped out early with -a The total effort by the team drew praise from Tarpenning in every category. "I think they performed outstandigly as a group. I have never had a team ;>erform so well." hnd the next stop for at least IO Titans will be the national meet at San Jacinto Junior College in Pasadena, Texas. The tea m will be competing there Thursday, Friday and Saturday against the top teams from the rest of the country. Last year the_ Titans finished seventh in the team standings. POLE VAULT~-!.

If this ~s the case,§ someone could have made a killing on hrks at the Regional Track . · . Championships Friday and Staruday. LCC's track team installed as a reluctant favorite prior to the meet came forth with one of the most devastating displays of powe~ this side of a German Blitzkrieg -- and the survivors must have felt like Polish soldiers at the end of a Panzer attack. Realistically, most of the times and distances in the meet were not of outstanding proportions. For example, Lane's Tom Burrows won the triple-jump with a leap of 44' 9", good mark, but 1 1/2 feet less than the national qualifying standard. Similarly, Mark Burt, named the outstanding_per_former in the meet won the 100 yard dash in 10.3 seconds which is the slowest time 'he has recorded all year. He ran a 9.8 to get into the finals. The weather conditions were not perfect, there was a constant threat of rain to go along with gusting, chilly wind. Even so, a few of the athletes rose to the oceasion and established meet records with fine efforts. Kim Taylor of Linn-Benton Community College shaved nearly a second off the mile mark, crossing the line in 4:13.1. . Freshman Rod Cooper pushed Blue Mountain's John Sekerka to a new meet record in the three mile run, ·posting a lifetime best of 14:14.5. Sekerka crossed the line in 14:09.7, 13 seconds better than the previous mark. And in the 440 yard dash, no less than four runners eclipsed the old mark of 49.0. Winston Mora of Northern Idaho won the event with a time of 48.6 seconds. These marks by other teams served only to break up the monotony of the seemingly endless march of Lane athletes to the awards, stand. Lane entered 30 men in the meet. Twenty-seven scored points. To do this requires a total effort from every man involved. Lane got that effort. Lane Coach Al Tarpenning couldn't keep from grinning when he talked about the meet afterwards. He said, "I have never had a team perform so well. We came up with practically all the loose points. We scored 221 and we could have had more." . • Injuries to some key performers, according to Tarpenning, kept the Titans from scoring even more. "For instance," he said "Dale Warren was worth 12 points himself." Warren suffered leg cramps in the 440 relay and was forced to scratch from the 220 yard dash. He hobbled throgh the 100 and finished out of the money in eight place. With Warren, Tarpenning feels the Titans may have been able to sweep the top three spots in the 100 and the 220. a. check of the listed times upholds his contention - - Warren had the top time for the 100 coming into the meet and was tied with teammate$ Mark Burt and Vince Woods for the best time in the 220. For the third straight year, the Titans have shown themselves to be the standard by which the rest of th region must compare itself. This past weekend just brought that fact into sharper focus. § centur.v 22 Pub now OPEN •GAMES•POOL•FOOS BAlL WALLBANGE.RS SINGAPORE SLINGS STUDENT PRICES DIMERS s-9 *SUDS 8th nitelY till WILLAMETTE Page 8 TORCH May 21, 1974 LCC seeks tax base •increase LCC to exhibit abstract acrylics by Portland artist Paintings by Portland artist Hugh Webb will go on exhibit for two weeks beginning May 20 in the main gallery at Lane Community College.
