LCC tax base measure goes down to defeat
Board cites inflation in budget request
by John Loeber

LCC's Budget Committee started its yearly
hearings Wednesday by appointing Lael Braymer,
a Eugene housewife, as the 1974 Chairperson and
revealing a budget reque~t in excess of $16 million.
During his annual message to the Committee,
LCC -President Eldon Schafer said, "To state that
this is a bare bones budget is a gross understatement . . . the local share of the costs of operating
LCC will of necessity have to increase . . . '

=

He pointed out that the budget includes a five percent tuition increase, citing "continuing inflationary
increases" as the reason for the increase.
Schafer also said the budget is designed to
accommodate "the same number of students during
1974-75 as were served during the·current year."
Interviewed last week Schafer said ''The voters
of the College district are being asked on May 28
(yesterday) to approve an increase in local tax
effort from $2,614,320 to $3,590,000,'' noting
additional requests had been considered for
$1,696,435 but had been excluded due to "the political practicality of asking local taxpayers to
accept an even heavier burden." (See election
results, this page.)
The budget, which reflects an 11 percent increase

over the current year, is, according to Schafer,
separated into five areas: General Fund, which
provides operating expenses ($10,109,508); Special
Instructional Programs, such as ndult Basic Education ($514,000); Bond Retirement Fund, as
scheduled by the County Director of Finances
($877,590); Capital Projects Fund for construction
($1,690,000); and Separately Sustained Funds, such
as Food Services, Bookstore and Financial a.ids,
($3,557,901).
The major differences from the current budget,
as cited by Schafer, were in Emergency Employment A.ct (EEii) funds, capital outlay budgeting
and computer services.
Schafer said the College received $115,000
in EEA funds this year (to help salary approximately 24 employees), but "there are no prospects
for continuation of this federal program.'' These
employees will be continued on salaries out of the
proposed budget (for -about $250,000) according to
Hank Douda, College budget officer, with $50,000
in the budget's Contingency Fundtoprovidesalaries
for five to six additional EEA employees. (This is
the amount anticipated as necessary for the col(Continued on Page 3)

gain approval
LCC's tax bast measure went
down in defeat last night by a
projected margin of 7000, or 14
per cent of the vote.
This defeat means the tax base
increase will be taken to the voters again this Summer. It will
cost the College approximately
$9,000 to conduct another election.
The latest available abstracts
of last night's voting showed only
two ballot measures passing.

State Measure Number Five,
passed by a two-point-five to one
margin. This raises the amount
of bonds that may be sold to
obtain funds to loan veterans for
farm and home loans from four
per cent of the cash value of
property in the state to six per
cent. These bonds are self-liquidating leaving no cost to be
absorbed by the taxpayers. This
will enable the Veteran's Department to issue about $497
million in additional loan bonds
to obtain funds for veteran's
loans.
County Measure Number Nine
passed by an approximate 4,000
vote margin. This measure allows the county to issue bonds
up to $3.5 million for the longrange development of garbage
disposal (including recycling) facilities. other options include development of a solid waste management program which would include energy recover capabilities.
The remaining county garbage
disposal measure, Number Eight,
failed by about the same margin (4,000).- This measure would
have raised the county property
tax base to over $3.5 million.
Included in this increase would
have been $975,000 for solid
waste management operations
and over $150,00 0 for general
county operations.

Houston, Texas.
Mesa Community College of
Phoenix, Arizona won the team
title for the fifth time in seven
years, compiling a total of 72
points. Mesa relied mainly on
overwhelming strength in the
field events to top the field.
Second olace went to Essex
County Junior College of Newark,
New Jersey. Horace Tuitt of
Essex provided the bulk of his
team's points with his successful defense of his title in the half
mile at 1:49.0 coupled with a
blazing 46.7 anchor leg of the
victorious Essex mile relay team.

so many times and didn't have
anything to show for it,'' he said.
Tarpenning took a twelve mari
traveling squad to Texas hoping
to repeat last year's success. Of
these twelve, seven eventually
made it into the finals. But only
two--Tom Burrows and Rod
Cooper --were able to crack the
top six spots for any points.
Tarpenning, who was nominated for the National Coach of
the Year award, was disappointed
that more of the Lane athletes
didn't place. He said, "I really
thought that everyone we brought
had a chance to score. We just
didn't get the breaks."

The solid waste operations
would have been based on either
the present system of landfills
or the development of new technology and recycling centers. The
measure did not include provi-·
sions for construction of new
facilities.

The five state 111easures that
failed include moves to reapportion the state tax structure,
broaden the objectives of state
highway funds, create new school
district tax base limitations, authorize bonds for water development funds and options for the
state legislature to call special

ASH draws fire
Adult Student Housing (ASH)
Incorporated, which has been
drawing sharp criticism from
several public agencies since
January, has received three more
demands from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The1demands are to reduce
management and administrative
expenses, to sever relations with
another firm owned by ASH officials and to stop renting to
tenants who are not students.
A HUD spokesman said ASH's
administrative overhead runs
over 30 per cent of it's revenues.
HUD alleges that Auxent, a firm
owned by co-principals of hSH
Philip McLennan and Fred Bender, rents furniture to the tenants.
He also noted that A.shlane rents
to non-students as well as students.
The LCC Board has asked several questions about ASH since
March, when Board member Bob
Mention said, '' There have been
serious allegations directed at
the maintenance and financial
aspects of the whole operation."
He went on to say that "It isimperative to ask the Administration to set up a committee
to review the Ashlane project-the books and tenants charges and
report back to the Board."
At that time McKlennan stated
that "it (the review) might prove
very illuminating to the Board."
other agencies that have been
investigating ASH include the Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG), which
has charged ASH with mismanagement of funds and improperly raising rents, the Clatsop
Comm. College in astoria, and
HUD which previously said, «·0p-erating revenues from the subject

Abdication through apathy
The 14 members of the College Budget Committee are faced
with the monumental task of putting together the single most im portant document that wlll shape and direct the College --without
the aid or advise of students. n.t least that is the way it appears
after attending the May 22 budget meeting.
There was only one student present at that meeting - - a reporter.
We realize that the majority of students on this campus are
satisfied with the development of the academic environment, and
have no desire to see anything new happen on campus. We also
realize, however, that some students have ideas and dreams
they would like to see actualized here at LCC.
For these people we would like to offer a reminder. There
will be no new classes, student services, expanded sports programs,
additional instructors, new instructional materials or stabilizing
tuition without provisions made for them in the budget. And the budget is being finalized without any student input.
At the present time student rights are being abdicated through
apathy.
The budget is being written with provisions for a computer
system that will maintain central records on every student's
address, financial background, health records and family data.
The financial aids section of the budget is over a quarter of
a mil\ion dollars removed from the Financial Aids Office's projections.
And a five per cent tuition increase is virtually guaranteed
with the acceptance of the budget as it now stands.
We do not mean to imply that studentinvolvement is the magical
key to democratic control of the College. We can be assured, however, that a lack of involvement will lead to a lack of responsiveness from the College.

This committee's role is to aa-vise the College in the program's

·R erun in Senate race

Former Senator Wayne Morse
will once again be running against
Republican Bob Packwood for the
US Senate race in November.
Morse was defeated by Packwood in 1968.
At ll:30 p.m., with approximately 34% of the vote in, Morse
had received 31, 442 votes, with
his closest contender, Oregon

He also said that he had received a "wonderful reception"
to his candidacy from the people
of Oregon, and that ''many, many
people that voted against me
(in 1968) had encouraged me to

Packwood, who has served one

Boe, who was elected Oregon
• state senator in 1970, was elected
as President of the senate in
1973. He has served in the legislature on the Ways and Means
Committee, the Revenue Committee, Natural Resources, En·vironment, and Public Health
committees.

State Senator Jason Boe, receiving 23,684.
Trailing Boe was Robert Daly

with 2,531.
At this time, Packwood, running unopposed, had received
43,339 votes.
In 1968, the Viet Nam war had
been the primary issue in the
election. Morse said Tuesday that
the war was not necessarily over
as an issue, but that inflation is
the number one issue now.

Previous to his senate experience, Boe served in the Oregon
House and was a Reedsport City
Councilman for six years.
Morse earlier held the US
Senate for 24 years, from 1945
to 1969.
According to Morse's campaign committee, he will "fight
for integrity in government; work
for social and economic justice;
insist upon strict federal regulation of monopolies and corporations; plan for the protection,
restoration, and preservation of
the environment; exercise an
honest independence of judgement; vote .•. in keeping with

According to Washington Post
·columnist Kenneth Crawford,
Packwood "has done what more
newcomers should do. He has remained aloof from ideological

to be entrusted with heavy establishment responsibilities, he
has used his time to do some

Fund freezing proposed

Adult Educatio·n
opens many doors
by Deirdre Reynolds
Adult Basic Education (ABE) is "taking a lot of people with
no education at all -- and giving us a chance we wouldn't have otherwise," according to Richard Sims an ABE student in his mid-40's.
Sims says he only went to school until he was nine years old,
at that time he ran away from the orphanage where he was raised.
He then lived and worked on a farm where the farmer had no respect
for education, so Sims didn't attend school any more.
During the Korean War Sims was rejected the first time he
tried to enlist due to his lack of education. He studied encyclopedias for six weeks in the library again took the test, and this time
passed and served in the armed forces.
In February of this year he started attending an n.BE class.
He says anything you want to do requires a high school education.
'' I know one thing for sure now: You have to have a pretty good
general knowledge to be able to cope with life as we have it now.
A general education gives you more to go on."
He had anxiety about starting school again and getting involved
in a new vocation. State Vocational Rehabilitation gave him extensive tests and guided him in his plans. They recommended that
his first step be hBE classes to prepare for the General Educational
Development (GED) tests. Now he hopes to pass his GED tests
this Spring and start at LCC this summer.
Sims is not alone. In Lane County there are at least 24,000
people who are over 25 years old and have not graduated from high
school, according to Bud Proctor, coordinator of Community Education at LCC.
Helen Loomis, assistant coordinator of the hBE program,
points out that one estimate of non-readers in Lane County is 5,000
people, but says this is a low figure.
Marjorie Smith, chairwoman of the Literacy Council of EugeneSpringfield, said the community doesn't realize there are a large
number of people of all ages who are unable to read on a fourth
grade level.She gave some insights into some of the problems there
are in learning to read, "Reading skill is a very complex process,
a combination of skills -- a short circuit anyplace will throw it
off.'' Some problems are very physical. Examples of these are perceptual and visual problems such as seeing words backwards,
changing eye focus, hearing losses or distorted sounds. Many persons with ~hysical problems . are often thought to be nervous,
spoiled, or having a short attention span.
The ABE program _was -started in 1966 to cope with some of the
educational needs of these people as adults. It began as an outgrowth of the Federal Manpower Development Training Act. When the
the training programs were started for the unemployed it was soon
• discovered that a lot of people involved did not have the basic
reading or writting skills needed. The federal government financed
a grant and LCC accepted the job of providing ABE for Lane
County.
Classes are open to anyone over 16 who does not have a high
school diploma and who wants to improve their education. The
classes are free and include basic reading, writing, spelling,
composition, computational and communicational skills and arithmetic. In Lane County over 38 aBE classes are held in over 27 locations. Classes are meeting in churches and homes, in rooms
over stores and schools, in jail and in colleges. There are classes
at eight in the morning and at ten at night. There are classes in
Florence and Noti and Cottage Grove and in nine other towns.

their Thursday meeting to reimburse Hood zero dollars for his

Jim Martin, an LCC student

Besides competing in the decathlon while in high school Kevin
was flanker on the football team, competed in gymnastics and threw
the javelin, polevaulted and sprinted for the l.r:ish during track season.
However the decathlon has become his major goal now and he devotes
all of his athletic activities to it.
A Physical Education major,, Kevin, a freshman, hasn't decided
where he wants to go after he has completed his studies at Lane. ' ' I
plan on deciding this summer," he said. "I want to decide early
because there are a lot of different classes you have to take for
different schools."
Kevin's best performance to date came at the University of
Oregon Twilight meet when he amassed 6232 points and set eight
