Y\..o . 3 Chairman doubles load ;;,; :· --~ _.,.,,-':,/!;!!!!!!i!!!~tJf' Jack Kreitz c~:;Y? ._ , photo /Jy mark rahm Jack Krietz, current chairer of LCC's Business Department, will soon take on the additional role of Chairer of the Flight Technology Department. The new position in Flight Tech, replacing retired Chairer Ron Byers, is an . interim move for Krietz, ending June 30, 1975. At that time a decision will be made by the LCC Board of Education on whether he is capable of handling both jobs. Krietz had no comment when asked why he is the chairer of two unrelated departments--the only situation of its kind at LCC. But he attributes his ability to handle both positions to the efficiency and professionalism of his staff, although he admits his time has been stretched very thin and he is reaching the point where he will no longer be able to handle both jobs competently without making changes in his schedule. • Krietz sees as the solution the necessity to give up his teaching responsibilities and devote all of his time to heading the departments. During his term as Chairer of the Business Department Kreitz has been instrumental in the adoption of the OpenEntry/Open-Exit program. When the Open Entry concept of education was first introduced four years ago to LCC's Business OEA goes into action at LCC _Faculty negotiations falter-- factfinder called in dispute analysis by John Loeber '' Bargaining between the LCC Board of Education and College faculty has broken down,'' according to Rick Romanek, president of the LCC Oregon Education Association (OEA). Romanek was quoted in an OEA news release last Friday as saying, '' An order for 'factfinding' has been declared by State mediator Ken Brown.'· Factfinding means identification of the major issues in a labor dispute by an impartial individual. After positions of both parties are reviewed, the factfinder makes recommendations for settlement of the dispute, although these recommendations are not binding on either party. Romanek has stated that negotiations have been ''shaky from the beginning' and the LCC Board "has consistently defied the basic principles of good faith bargaining'' as required by law. Contracted yesterday for comment, Administrative spokesman, Jim Piercey, associate dean of instruction, could not speak to the issue for fear of hurting negotiations. He was able to say, "The Board has encouraged the College negotiation team to continue meeting with the OEA and attempt to resolve the issues.' At press time Piercey told the TORCH , there will be another negotiation meeting tomorrow at 4 p. m. in the Board Room O~-dmin 207) He explained that basic disagreements include salary policies and fringe benefits. While recognizing the seriousness of the dispute, Romanek says the LCCEA is "prepared to meet at any time in an effort to reconcile differences" with the LCC Board. Mail boosts enrollment CPS--Harford Community College in Maryland is trying a direct attack on decreasing enrollments: A 16 page brochure mailed to all 42,000 postal patrons brought 80 applications. Design, layout and printing cost $2,000. ~ccording to rules and laws established in 1973 by Oregon House Bill 2263, public employers (LCC) and employees (OEA faculty) will attempt to settle grievances through negotiation. If negotiations break down the Public Employee Relations Board ( PERB) assigns a mediator to assist. If the dispute is still unsettled within 15 days, factfinding is started. Factfinding means identification of major issues in a labor dispute by an impartial person who reviews the positions of both parties. The factfinder then makes recommendations. If within five days of notice of factfinding the parties don't choose a factfinder, PERB will give them a list of five names. The parties then alternately eliminate names until one is left. This is the factfinder. The factfinder schedules and holds hearings to determine the facts involved in the dispute. The factfinder has 30 d'ays from the end of hearings to make recommendations to end the dispute. The two parties have five days to accept or reject the findings. If rejected, the facts are made public after five more days. If factfinding is not successful, the union may give notice of strike after a 30-day "cooling off' period. Ten days after notice of intent, the union may go on strike. by Karma Adkins Department, 40 students signed up for the program. Last year the program grew to a capacity of 500-600 students. With Open Entry, " There are 260 registration and 260 graduation days each · year.' according to Kreitz, " That's how often we will register or graduate students~ -its up to each person.' 11.nticipating equal success with Open Entry in the Flight Tech Department, Kreitz says the idea is now being put into use in several classes. He claims the student-teacher relationship in the Department is more on a one-to-one basis than in any other department, enforcing his feeling that Open Entry will be successful.

In mathematics books, W.WI found boys solving astronomy and chemistry problems and learning to buy stocks while girls measured curtains and bought flour.

A new pitfall is being added to the problems of those who drive to school. Beginning Monday Oct. 14, dump trucks will cross the west access road at right angles to the flow of traffic. The earth moving operation is a result of the excavation being carried out for the new maintenance building. Truck traffic can be expected between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. daily through Monday Oct. 21. Trucks will be moving from the construction site behind the LCC diesel shop, past the rear of the physical education building, across the parking lot, and over the median strip in the access road to the dump site located inside the first curve of the Gonyea Road. Students and staff are advised by Walt VanOrden, LCC plant supervisor, that drivers should take extreme caution in the vicinity of the trucks. The new building is being built by VIK Construction Co. of Eugene and should be The total completed by early spring. cost of the one floor structure with mezzanine is $637,776.

Page 3 TORCH Oct. 8, 197 4 Titan kickers blitzed The Lane soccer team found itself outmatched but not outmanned against an experienced Eugene Blitzer team Sunday at LCC. In the 6-2 loss, Frank Rodriguez scored both Titan goals and came within inches of a third. His second was a 40 yard loft placed perfectly over the goalie and below the crossbar. A defensive lapse in the first two minutes of the second half put the Blitzers ahead 4-1. Just minutes before the half Rodriguez had tied the score for Lane at 1 each: with a power burst up the middle and a high bounce over the goalie's head. The Blitzers countered immediatelybut missed an open shot after four good passes. after an exchange, Blitzer Dick Eigenramm scored from 20 yards out on a two on one situation seconds before the half for a 2-1 lead. The Blitzers capitalized quickly in the second half on long kicks and effective inside passes when the Titans were out of position. By that time the Blitzers experienced team began to show excellent inside ball control and execution to put it out of reach at 6-1. Rodriguez's 40 yarder was too little too late. Coach Gyorgyfalvy credited the Blitzers' experience and 10 game summer season for their discipline while Titan miscues were attributed to a mere four days practice. Rights amendm ent question ed CPS--Almost two years after the signing of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which banned sex discrimination in federally funded educational institutions, the Department ofHealth, Education and Welfare (HEW) last June issued proposed regulations for the law's implementation and enforcement. The guidelines address three major areas: admissions. treatment of students and employment. They are intended to insure equal access, equal bE:!nefits, nondiscrimination and equal opportunitywith certain exceptions specified by Congress. While the regulations seem weak to most feminist organizations, educational and athletic institutions have been campaigning to water down the guidelines and limit enforcement prc;>cedures. The most heated disputes have erupted over Title !X's application to school The regulations require that athletics. "no person on the basis of sex be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits, or be treated differently . . . or otherwise be discriminated against in any physical education or athletic program operated by a recipient (of federal funds) . . . . '' HEW, however, emphasized that the regulations should not be interpreted to "require equal aggregate expenditures for athletics for members of each sex.' According to HEW the proposed guidelines are directed at ' equal opportunities not equal expenditures.' Under these regulations coed physical education courses are mandatory and schools must inform students of the new opportunities available.

Sleuth opens VL T season review by Lyn Bowan Eugene's Very Little Theater (VLT) opened its 46th season las t week with Anthony Shaffer's sophisticated whodunit. "Slueth' ' which played to full houses on Friday and Saturday nights and which will continue to run October 9 through 12, might more aptly be described a" what did he do' ' as the plot, winding its way through many unusual twists, keeps the audience asking ''what will happen next?' · And the answers are guaranteed to surprise even the most artful amatuer detective. ''Slueth' takes place in the country home of a middle-aged, British mystery novelist who is obsessed with game playing. It is a story about what ca.n happen when the line between game and reality becomes obscured; "Slueth' is very literary and very well-written. On the surface it appears overly wordy, but the complexity of the language matches the complexity of the plot, and listening attentively you find there are not many wasted words. Andrea first greets Milo by offering him a drink saying, "I'm one up on you.'' A casual comment but one that sets the mood for the games to begin. The play is a very difficult one to Throughout most of the play perform. there are only two actors on stage at any one time and the energy they generate is crucial to audience involvement. Andrew Wyke's part is a particular challThe novelist who is on stage enge. every minute of the play is a gamesman. To him life is a game. His ego is large. He delights in the mazes he constructs for himself and he speaks, much as he writes, in lengthy strings of paranthetical phrases. Like the plot-lines ofa good mystery novel, they come together in the end. To be completely effective, the part must be played with a certain snap, a certain controlled excitement, and vigour. Tom Engle, who plays the English country gentleman with a nice charm, does not quite have that extra edge of energy which would raise his performance from adequate to exciting. And the first act, with Ron Wright playing a stiff Milo Tindle, is slow. While the second act picks up the pace and is more involving than the first-especially the scenes with Inspector Doppler (Anthony Creighton)--it never quite reaches the energy level required to bring out all of the excitement that is in' ' Slueth' ' . .o'\.nd "Slueth" is an exciting play. Its thoughtfulness, wit, interesting character-. izations and clever plot give it enough inherent entertainment value to carry it past performances which do not quite meet the play's demands. Fee policy Policies affecting student fee refunds and credit for work experience dominated the Oct. 3 meeting of the Instructional Council, with staff development policy debate tabled to a later meeting. The Instr. Council is made up of all department chairers and makes recommendations to the College President on matters of policy. The fees-refund discussion opened up with a published policy statement from the Office of Instruction which alleged, '' The College refund for special fees has been discriminatory against certain students.' The rest of the statement outlined a proposal for a refined policy on refunds, set including the following: Department chairers will be the authority for refund of special fees assessed by that department. Fees are non-refundable where the department has made off-campus contracts with the fee monies. Fees are refunded at a rate of 100 per cent the first week; 50 percent the second week; 25 per cent the third week; no money will be refunded in the fourth week. Materials that are reusable may be returned and students will be reimbursed for them. In addition, departments are required Photo by Mark Rahm Theater schedules Theatrically Eugene will be a busy little town this term. Presently ·at the Very Theater, is Anthony Shaffer's Little "Slueth.' ' It runs this Wednesday through Saturday. Peter Ustinov's "Halfway Up The Tree,' is the VLT's next production and is scheduled for Nov. 20-23 and 2630. Meanwhile the Eugene Theater Company's series of four Chekov one acts continues its run at the Scarborough Faire, Oct. 11-12; and 18-19. This weekend the University Theater at 1 the UO opens its new fall season with "The Real Inspector Hound," Tom Stoppard's spoof of mystery dramas. Play dates are Oct. 10-12 and 17-19. Later this month UT will bring "Our Town' to its main stage for five performances; Oct. 25, 26, 31 and Nov. I and 2. UT's final drama of the term, Shakespear's "Julius Ceaser,' ' will run Dec. 6 and 7, and the 12th through the 14th. And finally the Performing Arts Department at Lane Community College plans to open its theatrical season and its new building with the contemporary rock musical, ''Godspell' on Nov. 29. Additio11al performances are scheduled for Nov 30; Dec. 3-7; to notify students on term class schedules of fees charged, and must state the refund policy. Students who want fee refunds must start the paper work with the department office and personally take the forms through channels to the Business Office. In other business the council discussed student credit for work experience. The Council agreed that, "The lack ofuniform institutional procedures, guidelines, forms has resulted in departments treating credit by experience in a variety of different methods.' The Council finally decided '' h maximum of 48 hours may be gained through related work experiences.' Requests for credit must be submitted on the proper form to the department for approval on a pass/no-pass basis. Oct. 8, 197 4 TORC ...

Regretfully the writers name, Jerry Paulsen, was omitte.d as a result of difficulties in printing. The letter is not reprinted due to space restrictions. Editor: Recently, · Julie Elliott, ASLCC Second Vice-president, resigned from office. Realizing the importance of this position, I felt it was in the best interests of the student body to fill the Second Vice-president position. The person appointed to the position, pending ratification by the Senate, is Peter Hale, former ASLCC Student Rights Coordinator. Mr. Hale has both the qualifications and the ability to carry out the duties of the A.SLCC Second Vice-president. The appointment of Peter Hale (as I see it) was for the sole reason of getting a job _ done and no other. I am well aware of the amount of concern of certain individuals pertaining to this appointment. I am glad to see that at least a few students are watching what's going on.

(\ CX) 9 lane community college October 8, 1974 Vol. 12 no. 3 P.O. lex 11 Eugene, Oregon 97401 e lnstrutor seeks alternativ interview by Char/ps M. Potts (Writer's Note: Jerry Garger teaches English Literature and Composition in the LCC Language Arts Department, but I met him tromping through the woods in search of edible foods. A naturalist in the best sense of the word, his views and opinions reflect concern for necessary change. His utilization of a bicycle for tra1isportation to and frorp campus is typical of his concern for the environment.) Potts: Why do you ride your bicycle to school? Garger: A variety of reasons really. One, so that Standard Oil and Rockefeller don't get any more of money than necessary. I'm also trying to clean up my own act as s ecology is concerned. Befar a_ sides, it's a rush coming down the other side. Potts: How do you feel fighting the traffic on the hill? Garger: While inhaling the fumes, I usually wonder how $580,000 was spent to add an extra and unnecessary lane but that no provision was made for a decent bicycle path. In a _place as advanced as Oregon, we should be exploring all transportation alternatives to prevent the Willamette Valley from becoming another Los Angeles. If we don't, the choke' will be on us. Potts: Do you think the people want this area to turn into a Los Angeles.? Garger: I don't think the people do, but the greed-freaks who control this community want bigger profits through growth and expansion. Potts: How does LCC fit in? Garger: I would say that the school reflects the views and attitudes that are ruining the valley. What we should be doing rather than supporting and feeding the present system is educating people for necessary change, Instead of quibbling with one another whether kids will go to ·kindergarten in Eugene, we should demand that we get to vote on whether or not we want more bombers, aircraft carriers, or nerve gas. If our views aren't represented, we should get together an Oregon taxpayers revolution by 1976 and withhold our tax money from the homocidal paranoids pretending to be our leaders. Potts: Does Lane have a role here? Garger: Lane could be a center for people to combine their education and solve the practical problems of our community.
