editorial
LCC is a school on the move. We
may soon have a television station and
broadcast license. There are reports of
"new technological advancements" to be
developed here. Both Hazen Schumacher
and Peter Goldmark, international leaders
in the field of communication, find LCC
far in advance of most other colleges
in the US.
With all this going for us, what could
go wrong?
The simple fact that everything now at
hand is based on long-range planning.
Let's look at planning LCC style, a
commuter college without plans for transportation. In an age of pollution we rely
on combustion engines to get back and
forth to and from school. Today over
60 per cent of the pollution in America
is due to automobiles--and we sit in a
valley which authorities say has the potential of becoming the number one most
polluted air shed in the US. And yet we
find 5,000 students using 4,000 cars to get
back and forth.
Let's hope this kind of planning doesn't
leave us with a half million dollar broadcast facility with nothing to show but movie
re-runs. We already pollute the air shed-let's not pollute the airwaves as well.
LCC is tagged with the term "inno-

vative.'' Yet our reputation may come
from our buying power- -of buildings,
equipment, and '' packaged instruction.' '
In fact, LCC is ignoring the basis for
its existence ... students.
Health services, legal aid, and access
to the college Administration are among
the services denied evening students at
LCC. While they pay tuition and student
fees at the same rate as day students,
they get far less for their money.
The source of the problem is the low
visibility of evening students. Out of
sight- -out of mind.
It is t_oo easy to overlook this sector
of the student body. Health Services is
closed at night, the Student Legal Office
is closed, Administrators are at home,
and student activites are geared for the day
student population.
If the evening students can find a way
to get the LCC Board to recognize their
problems, a solution ma y be at hand.
Right now the college Administration can't
even look at these problems- -can't even
see them. The administration, which
spends over $130,000 annually for academic and college planning doesn't even
know how many evening students there are
at LCC.

"LCC was designed as a commuter
school at a time when hmerica believed
the car was the answer to its transportation needs. We now know that the car
isn't the answer." stated Rick Matthews,
VISTA volunteer.
Matthews, an LCC student last year,
is now associated with the Student Resources Center, formerly the Student
Awareness Center. Transportation problems for students is one of his concerns.
Matthews told the TORCH "the College
is not putting any planning into alternative means of transportation.' '
Of the 6,000 people who use LCC's
campus daily, 1,000 come by bus, according to college sources. The rest come in
the estimated 4,000 cars which every day
occupy the 4,500 parking spaces on campus.
Statistics compiled by the Lane Regional Air Pollution huthority show that in
"1972 the automobile accounted for 61 per
cent of the total air pollution emissions
in Lane County,' and they are quick to .
add, ''the topographical characteristics of
the Willamette Valley cause smog and
other air pollutants to naturally collect
in the Eugene-Springfield area."
"That's my concern,' says Mike Chudzik, newly-elected director of the Student
Resource Center: ' ' The Willamette Valley
just can't handle intensive car usage."
What is being done about it?
The Student Res·ource Center is researching and promoting a number of
alternative means for moving people to
Lane.
One of these is subsidizing the sale
of LTD bus tokens here on campus.
"LTD will sell bus tokens to any
group at 20 cents apiece,' ' explains VISTA
volunteer Matthews. "We could sell them
at cost and operate on a no-loss basis.
But we're interested in encouraging people to use the bus, so we would like to
find money to subsidize the sale of tokens
and reduce the cost to 15 or IO cents as
they do at the U of O.

This week LCC is the current focus
for an extensive investigation by the
Northwest Accreditation Evaluation Team.
The team of 13 will be on campus through
Thursday, October 17, to ask staff members and students questions about the
college's instructional quality.
Accreditation is the process for determining a college's ability to provide
viable education and to meet the changing
demands of society.

Lansdowne expressed the concern that

Lewis Case, LCC's Dean of Academic

Besides the staff members who are
on the Accreditation Committee, three

very active in their committees and had
just as much authority as staff members

In a hearing before the commission,
restaurant owner Harry Katz said that
having beautiful women for cocktail waitresses brought in more paying customers
and that women were entertainers first-the dispensing of food and drink being
of secondary importance.
Nonetheless, the commission found that
Katz's ads were discriminatory- against

New .copyr ight law
answers decade long need
(CPS)--Mter 20 years of effort, the US
Congress may pass a new copyright bill-next year.
The Senate passed a new version of
the copyright law early last month, but
the House will have no time to act on
the measure before the end of the 93d
Congress.
Senator John McClellan (D-AK), chairman of the Copyrights subcommittee of
the Senate Judiciary Committee, says he
will reintroduce the bill to the Senate
early next year, and after what is expected to be quick reapproval, the bill
will go on to the House.
The decades-long struggle to update
the copyright laws began with a study
of the laws in the 1950's by the Library
of Congress, and came close to success
in 1967 when the House passed a copyright bill that closely resembles the one
recently passed by the Senate.
But reform has been delayed since then
by the problem of how to accomodate new
advances in technology in copyright law.
In particular, the easy availability of
copiers, tape recorders, and video tape
machines make widespread reproduction
of copyrighted material unavoidable.
Nowhere has this produced dilemmas
more crucial than in the field of education, where professors and students alike
routinely reproduce copyrighted material,
often on a large scale, for use in classes,
research papers, presentations, and other
scholarly or educational activity. Teachers say they should have a right to
copy practically anything while producers
maintain they have a right to be paid for
use of materials on which they hold a
copyright.
The Senate bill attempts to circumvent this problem with a section establishing the "fair use" doctrine. Fair
use is described in the proposed law
as reproduction "for purposes such as
criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research" and such
use is not to be considered a copyHowever, the doctrine
right violation.
is qualified by several conditions, such as
purpose of the use, the nature of the work,
the amount of material used in relation
to the work as a whole, and the effect
of use on the potential market value of
the copyrighted material.
Groups such as the National Education
Msociation (NEA) are not satisfied with

it puts the burden of proof on the teacher
to demonstrate that use of copied material was fair if an infringement suit should
arise over use of copyrighted material,
according to NEA's Dr. Harold Wigren.
'The NEA and similar groups would like
to see an "education exemption" written
into a new copyright law that will clearly give teachers the right to make copies
of relatively small amounts of copyrighted
material for educational use. This would

put the burden of proof on the publisher
to show that copying was illegal.
Libraries are also faced with some
problems. Under the Senate provisions,
a library may reproduce one copy of a
work for distribution if the reproduction
is not for commercial gain and fulfills
a number of other requirements, but does
not allow "systematic reproduction" of
the same work for a larger group. This
would affect educators in that libraries
would not be permitted to reproduce more
than one copy for class use from copyrighted sources. Under the "fair use"
section, a professor conceivably could
privately reproduce copies for strictly
educational use.
The whole question of library use of
copyrighted material will be ruled on by
the Supreme Court next year in WILLihMS
AND WILKINS V. US. In that case, the
US Court of Claims said that two government research libraries were acting within
the law when they copied large numbers
of scientific journals for use by their
patron.
Robert Kastenmeier (D-WI),
Rep.
chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee which will receive the Senate
version for hearings next year, says he
hopes the Supreme Court will help clarify the legal issues in the case before a
final draft of the bill is written.
Until then, however, the controversy
over copyrights and educational use of
such material will continue.

Board member Albert Brauer said he
would be "vehemently opposed to any

Board would be deceiving the public with
an earlier date. The bills from the 1973-

Discussion aimed at setting the date
for LCC's next budget election dominated
the meeting. Although it had adopted the
1974-75 budget of $16.5 million only a
short time earlier in the same evening,
the Board felt it needed to start planning immediately for the budget development for 1975-76.
President Eldon Schafer told the Board
the College could hold its next election
on one of eight dates between January
and November of 1975. He added that if
the Board chose a date as early as March

Board could expect to know the level
State funding for the next period.
When it was revealed that the College
had spent $20,000 in early election~ ~his
year, Brauer exploded, "That's ridiculous!' while Jim Martin, another Board
member, felt, "It seems insane to me to
do this vear after year.' '
The n.dministration was aligned against
a late date, explaining it would force them
to write tw o budgets--one in case the
preferred budget didn't pass, therefore
causing waste and frustration; Gerry Rasmussen, dean of Instruction, said a late
date would not allow the College to hire
instructors to take advantage of any increases in enrollment the State would
fund; Lew Case, dean of College Planning,
expressed a fear the community might consider a late election date a "pressure
tactic."
The consensus of Board opinion was,
finally, to aim for a budget election in
September of 1975.

While the idea is still in the planning
stage, it has gained tentative approval from
the County Commissioners and the Lane
Intermediate Education District.
Dean Case says the Oregon Museum of
Science and Industry wishes tobeinvolved
and "is willing to contribute the proceeds
of its present facility, estimated at $80,000
toward construction. A $36,796 grant has
already been secured by the IED for the
purchase of planetarium equipment.
If the project goes through, it seems
likely the site for the new planetarium will
be in or near Alton Baker Park.

Goldm ark at LCC

Peter J. Goldmark, noted inventor and
the Father of color television, visited LCC
yesterday as part of a tour of colleges
in the League of Innovation.
Goldmark is most widely known for
his contributions to the broadcasting
world, including the invention of the longplaying (LP) record, color television and
revolutionary techniques of video tape
editing.
hi an exclusive interview with the
TORCH, Goldmark said his latest project
is to "develop new ways of delivering
education to the community,' including

people in hospitals, prisons, and handicapped, unable to leave their homes. He
feels this will, "add to present student
bodies those people who have never had an
opportunity for education, 1 ' and make continuing education available to every person
in the country, and eventually the world.
Asked how this would be accomplished,
Goldmark said he could not discuss details
but said, '' The League of Innovation will
spearhead a new concept in technology,
marrying technology and education.'
Goldmark said he is visiting LCC because, "LCC is relatively young and
growing, tremendously confirming the value of community colleges. This is not a

four-year college--but a 50-year college.
While Goldmark is known as a scientist and inventor, he claims modern society
"keeps discarding one technology before
we've fully developed what we've got.
The single greatest progress in television
will be an adult version of "Sesame
Street' ' - -commercial television developing public service programming with
entertainment value.'
Goldmark was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1906 and received his early education at the University of Vienna, later
earning his doctorate in engineering at
the Univ~rsity of Berlin. He came to

the US in 1933 and became a citizen in
1937.
He invented the LP while working
for CBS because he "loved music and
was exasperated by constantly having to
change 78's.' '
He invented ultra-high frequency full
color television because he saw "Gone
With The Wind' in color in 1944, and
developed "an inferiority feeling about
television being in black and white."
Goldmark's granduncle, Joseph Goldmark, a chemist who came to america
discovered red phosphorous and invented
the percussion cap for rifles, a device
used for the first time in the Civil War.

Abzu g visits UO
by Robin Burns

"The Watergate investigation must go
on, the prosecution must go on," declared
Congresswoman Bella Abzug in Eugene
sunday night. "The American people will
not stand for a second coming in the
White House, t hey will not stand for a
cover-up of a cover-up." Ms. Abzug (DNew York), who has served in the House
of Representatives since 1970, was in
Eugene campaigning for United States
Senate candidate Betty Roberts. hi her
speech at the U of 0, Ms. J\bzug spoke
about current political issues, including
President Ford's pardonofRichardNixo n,
the economy, women's rights, and citizen
involvement.
Stating that the "unpardonable pardon
of Richard Nixon was in excess of authority, Ms. Abzug said that the Grand Jury
should go ahead and issue an indictment
against Nixon testing the pardon in court.
Commenting on what she termed a
"massive public relations campaign,. to
make us like him (Ford), Ms. Abzug said,
"I don't care if he eats English muffins
for breakfast or if he toasts them him self--but I do care who cooked up the
pardon deal.' '
In reference to President Ford's recent
state of the economy speech to Congress,
.h.bzug said, "President Ford is so economy-minded that he only had one Whip
hiflation Now button. He may have had a
button but he doesn't have a program.'
h.bzug, who has long been an advocate
of women's rights, stated that she isn't
interested in replacing the "male, white,
upper-class, elitest power structure with a
female, white, upper-class, elitest power
structure," but added, "A stag Senate
means stagnation.' (At this time there are
no female members of the United States

Senate.)
Abzug vehemently objected to the current $90 million Federal defense budget
and declared, "We have to change pr~orities . . . we can't eat a missile, we can't
wear a missile. The proliferation of
nuclear weapons is astounding.' · She
cited Henry Kissinger's recent Middleeast negotiations in which, without Congressional approval, the U.S. agreed to
give nuclear reactors to the Middle-east,
an action which Abzug declared "insane."
Abzug said that the American political structure has become complacent and
spiritless. as an example, she told of the
"deferential awe Congress feels toward
Rockefeller" (during his present vicepresidential confirmation hearings), and
declared, "We have no obligation to him.
We just got rid of one king--we don't
need another.''
abzug also expressed fear that the
House of Representatives will give President Ford the "kid-glove treatment' ' when
he appears before Congress to answer
questions about the Nixon pardon.
Abzug continually stressed the need
for American citizens to participate in
the governmental process. She said that
apathy "is Richard Nixon's legacy to the
people'' and that the United States is
facing a crisis as to whether or not
democracy will really work."
"We have to open up Congress, and
state and local governments, to new people- -we need new leadership," she said.
"Never in the history of this country
has there been such a desire for openness, candor, and commitment.' '
Abzug concluded by saying, "We, the
people, are sovereign; we can make the
government and the institution work."

Transportation . . .
support the use of the automobile by
building and maintaining parking lots when
it could spend some of thatmoneyencouraging people to take the bus, by subsidizing bus tokens."
.Presently the SRC is selling tokens at
its office in the Center Building for 20
cents each if purchased loose, or for
$3.50 in packets of 20--a loss of 50
cents a packet.
Barry Gower, a student who is organizing the Center's transportation activities, explained that the SRC is making
up the loss from its $5,200 budget. But
that can't last forever.
"We are looking for some additional
funding sources and I would not like to
see the College have to charge a parking
fee to get the money. I think students
are already asked to pay enough.' '
Gower also said that along with the
tokens the SRC would like to sell LTD
"fast-passes' --a monthly pass sold by the
Lane Transit District for $10.
It is Gower's hope to have enough
money to buy the fast passes in large
quantities at $8.00 and sell them to the
LCC community for $5 or $6.
"The advantage of afastpass,' according to Greg Corey of LTD's alternative
transportation project, ''is that it can be
used any time during the month, as often
as is needed, and is transferrable. If
your friend needed to get to town you
could give her your bus pass to use."

(~ontinued from front page)
The question then arises, if the SRC
is successful at encouraging people to take
the bus, could LTD handle the increased
passenger load?
According to LTD's Rynerson they
could. "We have always been able to
handle it in the past and if we had to
we could absorb a 50% increase in demand
(to LCC). We could conveniently absorb
a IO% increase.'
But the Student Resource Center is
not concentrating its efforts solely on
increasing bus usage. It is also organizing car pools.
Beginning today a special box was
placed in the main lobby of the Center
Building for people who were interested

intended to co-ordinate the information
by hand,' ' said Gower, "But LTD has told
us that, if we get over 200 interested
people from the· Eugene-Springfield area,
they will process that information for us
on their computers for free. Then we
would only have to coordinate the outlying
communities by hand."
Although the transportation is not acute

"The Real Inspector Hound" was staged
as an overplayed melodrama, and the

to rush it; to lose the comic exageration

Boyd is leaving his current position
as president of Central Michigan University, a position he has held for six years.
Boyd's personal history begins in the
small South Carolina coastal town of Mt.
Pleasent where he was born on Feb. 2.
1923. After graduating from high school
in his home town, Boyd joined the Navy
serving during World War II.
Boyd gained his undergraduate degree
at Presbyterian College in Clinton, S.C.,
and a masters degree at Emory University

feels Lane Transit District's (LTD)
proposal to have one bus equipped for
the handicapped in two years is a
"token effort."
"Unfortunately we

Tosch drives a car but

said, "I think you will find handicapped people seemingly well adjusted.
Th~ hassles they have they won't let

won't really be that different than

Hanamura said, however, that some
of the disabled students at LCC have a
hard time meeting people under normal
circumstances, and he felt it was due
partly to a real awkwardness on the
students' and staff's part. All too often,
Hanamura said, people don't know if
they are helping or interfering if they
open a door for someone in a wheelchair, or ask a blind person if they
need help finding their way. He said
each person would feel differently, but
the best way to find out would probably
be to ask.

"You'll soon discover it's not so

Isolation for the handicapped
student results from having to go a

pointed out that a handicapped person
often must avoid stairs, go out of
their way to reach elevators and ramps,
and must arrange their schedule to
account for all these detours.
Hanamura commented that LCC was

because it is a place where "they
can come and be independent . . .
Lane can be a place of relief. I can
at least travel on my own here."
Hanamura is unsighted.
Sylvia Pinkerton, who is in a wheelchair, said "This campus is the best
anywhere for being accessible ... The ·
biggest problem I have is with doors.
You hate to ask fo r more though,
when you've got so much already."
Ms. Pinkerton, who has been going
to LCC since fall term, said she feels
there are more warm, helpful people
here than anywhere she's ever been.
An accounting major, Ms. Pinkerton
hopes to get a job in that field. '' I
don't tr.ink there will be problems
with discrimination because of my
handicap, just physical problems, and
the fact that I'm female."

living proof of theory

by Garry Feder ow

Titans drop opener
Poor defense and goal tending in the
second half made the difference as the
U of O "Other Team'' smothered the
Titans 6-0 Sunday at Lane. It was the
league opener for both te~ms.
Abdula Rashad scored the first three
goals for the visitors, setting the pace
for the game. He started off with two
goals in the first half but that wasn't
the whole story. LCC managed some
pretty good offense, but inconsistency
around the net plagued the Titans all
day.
Lane muffed a few scoring opportunities with Alvin Lee and Frank Rodriguez missing free kicks, but played
good first ha I f defense. Hodriguez nearly
scored scant seconds before the half,
but the ball narrowly missed the bar
and landed on the net.
Oregon's first score came at 14 minutes

into the first half. They were able to
out-position Lane when Derrell Grimes
was downed with a sprained ankle.
Rashad scored his second goal from
20 yards out with a two-on-one situation.
He scored again five minutes into the
second half and except for some poor
positioning and shoddy goa 1 tending by
Lane, that should have been all. Oregon
capitalized every time Lane was out of
position with Torn Smith, Randy Sadwick,
and Ahmad Miller contributing, alongwith
Rashad's fourth goal, which was called
back because of an offsides.
The Titans couldn't get hot offensively
in the second half, their two best scoring
opportunities fizzled with loose balls and
loss of possession.
Next week Lane travels to Parker
Stadium in Corvallis to play Oregon State
in their only Astro-turf game of the year.

"Your body can take more than your
People let up when their
mind says.
body says. I just thrive on competition.
It's just a part of my personality."
'' I don't think I developed the theory
out loud until last year.'' says Titan
cross country Star Rod Cooper. But
when an All-American plunks down a
theory, you tend to think that he's on
the right track.
Track doesn't start until spring, but
Rod Cooper is right about cross country.
Rod's theory carries him five miles
every day before breakfast. That plus
eight or ten miles after classes makes
Rod a bit more than the average. "We
train seven days a week but only moderately during the summer,' according to
"We try to keep a level and
Cooper.
then come on strong in the fall.'
Cooper has knocked a full minute off
of last year's course time and fully intends to be among the top ten runners
in this year's national competition in
Eugene.
My money is on Cooper. His entire
approach to competition is refreshing.
The man thinks in terms of human potential as well as winning. "You've gotta
believe in your coach all the way. Just
do it. If you believe in what he says,
eventually you'll come out on top.

At North Douglas High in Drain, Rod
believed enough to win two state meets
and set two state records. In fact, he
was unbeaten as a senior and broke all
but two course records which he tied.
If Rod has a positive feeling about
LCC's program and Coach Tarpenning, it's
because he could have gone to the U of 0
and ran around with Pac-8 greats like
Steve Prefontaine and Paul Geis, but
didn't want to get lost in the herd of
distance runners there. Lane offered
him great coaching and plenty of meet
competition.
The U of O is next, no doubt, but
around every top athlete's corner is a
shot at the Olympics. He brought it up,
but I couldn't get him to talk about it
much. The sparkle in his eye suggested
potential.
Rod wants to pass his theory on as
an elementary school-teacher. His ambition is to teach kids about success, failure,
and potential, and to try to let them experience what he has. Cooper has a theory.
I'd say he is living proof.

Basketball , football
intra murals
to begin soon

The Lane cross country team finished
second to the Oregon Track Club 19-39
Saturday at Shadow Hills Country Club.
Mike Manley set a course record 26:37
for the Oregon Club and Rod Cooper was
third for Lane at 25:55, only a second
behind Oregon's Shaw. John Miller was
sixth for Lane at 26:24.
Lane only managed to place three men
in the top ten against a strong Oregon
club taking places eleven, twelve, and
fourteen.
The squad showed improvement as the
time between Co~per, third, and Jeff Boak,
twelfth place, was only 49 seconds this
week compared to 1:21 last week in a dual
win over Clackamas and Umpqua.
This week as Lane meets Oregon, Oregon State, and OTC at Blue River on the
Tokatee Run.

Intramurals competition in three man
basketball and seven man football will
begin soon, according to Kevin Cole and
Cheryl Bates intramural co-directors.

ually or as a team at the Health and
P.E. Department Office. Football teams
need a minimum of eight players.
In addition, officials, timers and score
keepers are needed and will be paid $2.50
to $3.00 a game. Alas, you definitely
cannot be an official and compete in the
same activity.

~hug but don't S'Nallo'N
CPS--If you're one of those ecology and
convenience conscious persons who pulls
the tab off your beverage can and then
drops it in your drink, you may be in
trouble dome day.
According to officials of the American College of Radiology (ACR), the accidental swallowing of tabs from beer and

soft drink cans is becoming a serious
medical problem. Occasionally, drinkers
will accidentally swallow the tabs, which
will lodge in the gullet or esophagus and
require emergency surgery to remove.
In other cases, the tabs may lodge in
the stomach, or may pass completely
through the body without harm.
