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.

Sold at Saturday Market

Stolen painting returned
h painting stolen last week from the LCC Art
Department was returned over the weekend by
part-time student Jeff Pickering. 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.

"As far as our philosophy goes,
the whole purpose of this institution is to educate the students.
I think our proposed contract will
speak to that,' ' commented Charles Bentz. Oregon Education Association (OEa) campus president, referring to the faculty contract that is to go on the bargaining table soon.

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.
Anyone seeing the vehicle, said Barton, should
contact either the Eugene Police Department or
LCC Security.
This leaves two paintings still missing from the
nrt Department: One of three polar bears, and
the other of an African and two Zebras.

Bentz said.
The faculty will meet this afternoon in Health 102 at 4 p.m.
to confer on the proposed contract before beginning final plans
for negotiations with the Board.

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 .

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 .."

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,

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.

learn, right?

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.

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

hit unskilled workers the hardest. Hundreds of thousands of

breeds crime and violence. The

- PROBING THa TGAP: The Watergate grand fury hasn't forgotten about the famous 181/2-minute
gap in one of President Nixon's
key tapes. 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.

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.''

Clowns and children - together
they mean Circus.
In this case, it was the 23rd
annual Shrine Circus, which was
held at McArthur Court on the
University of Oregon campus

Mayll.

In addition to the clowns, circus goers enjoyed the wild and
domestic animals, which included
performing bears, performing
elephants, and pony riding chimpanzees. .added to these during
the two and one-half hours of
were acrobats,
entertainment
tumblers, jugglers, dogs, wire
walkers and much more -- all
to the special delight of the
children.
The proceees from this year's
Shrine Circus, as in the past,
was used to send children from
the Emerald Empire who need
orthopedic or burns care to the
Shrine Hospital for Crippled
Children at Portland and the
Shrine Burns Hospitals. Anyone knowing of such cases which
cannot be financed by the parents
or guardians can get immediate
action by reporting them to the
Shrine Circus Office, P.O. Box
1442, Eugene, 97401. The child
must be under 15 years of age.

Rebuilding yea r ove r
By Dennis Myers

Improvement •is the key word when speaking
of this year's Lane baseball team. 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.

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-

petition, only donations. although the mile relay team, the 440
realy team, a hurdler, a pole vaulter, a triple jumper and a couple
of distance runners were good enough to go, they will' be left
at honw
K,i·.rln Tarpenning, hl's freshman son, scored 200 points more
in th•~ 1iP.cathalon this year than last year's winning total, yet he
paid his own way to Nationals. "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.

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.

Into every team's life a little rain must fall. 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.

Hit by reduced state and federal
support, Lane Community College seeks voter approval of an
increase in its tax base from
$2.61 to $3.59 million at the
May 28 election.
"This will allow us to enroll
about the same number of students -- 6,700 full-time equivalent -- as this year," said President Eldon Schafer.

"Because we don't know what
will happen to inflation and state
support, this request is too modest,'' he said, ''but it's better

House approval of the bill looks promising, although no date for

Students are urged to write their Congresspeople regarding
reinstatement of the fares. Those particularly im.p ortant to contact are Rep. Harley Staggers, chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Committee and Rep. John Jarman, chairman of the Subcommittee
on Transportation and n.eronautics, all in care of the House of
