born with it, raised with it, and rely
on it for the bulk of our entertainment, news and information. In short,
television is one of the bases of our
culture.
at it's Jan. 8 meeting the LCC
Board of Education was told the future
of television, education and information delivery systems are intertwined;
that public television and educational
television are going to become vitally
important in the years to come.
But this situation, and the future
of television in southern Oregon, has
the Board in a quandry. It must
soon decide whether it is to lead
the way in the purchase of KVDO,
television channel 8 in Salem for
$200,000. This decision must be made
while the Board is faced with a budgetary deficit which is nearing the $300,
,
000 level.
The current situation first took form
last Fall when Liberty Communications, Incorporated offered to give
the station, an admitted economic
loser, to a collective of educational
agencies to be headed by LCC. Since
that time the station has acquired

that "there is a question concerning
the enforcability of a gift."
These changing economic factors
are not the only monetary questions
pegged to the KVDO transfer. While
it is true the cost of acquiring the
station isn't going to get any lower,
Harms has pointed out that legal fees

in connection with the negotiations of
the agreement "could be very substantial and we are not aware of what
these costs may be."
He also points out that the agreement
precludes LCC's disposing of the
station for ten years. "The purpose
of this provision is to assure,' he
says, ''that the station will be conducted as an education station and not
sold to .any commercial interests.''
The question of commercia 1interest
brings up many interesting questions.
Liberty bought KVDO in 1972, when
the station was in financial difficulty,
for $400,000 in their own stock and
absorbed the $200,000 KVDO liabilities.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the sale, although
Liberty already owned cable outlets
in the area and would obtain control

of the Salem television market. This
was an attempt to keep the Salem area
from losing it's only television station.
This attempt proved fruitless,
however, as Liberty Pres1dent Don
Tykeson admits, KVDO has never been
a profit-maker. ,Because of its
proximity to the Portland broadcast
area KVDO has been unable to get
a network affiliation--and has never
been successful as an independent.
This leaves Liberty--which holds
the title to Eugene sta ion KE ZI- -in
an awkward situation.
If KVDO goes under again, with
its losing financial record, state media
sources say it will open the way for
commercial interests in the Portland
area to acquire its license and move
to the Eugene area with either a
network affiliation (CBS) or as an
station--which means
independent
competition for KEZI, an41-BC affiliate.
The other Eugene station, KVn.L is an
NBC affiliate.
The addition of CB5 to the Eugene
area would probably be looked on
favorably by the FCC, according to
some professional media sources, and
should prove economicr1 lly successful.
.o ther sources, however, claim this
move would initiate a legal battle
with the Portland CBS affiliate, KOIN,
and that it would be most practic,11
to bring the station south as an
independent.
But one concept most long-time
professionals in the area do agree on
is that it would be possible to bring
KVDO sou.th and broaacast into Eugen,
while generating a considerable profit
for the entrepenuers.
This would cut into existing local
markes and hurt both KELiand KV"1-L,
LCC's supporters in the present situation. These stations paired together
once before in the early sixties, to
block KVDO from being moved to

I'm forced to withdraw from school.'
Loeber says he examined three
possible alternatives before deciding to
call it quits. "The first is to go farther

the third is to quit schoo and get
a full-time job, save my money and
start again next fall. Since I'm $600
in debt I chose the third.''
The failure of the Veterans administration office in Portland to register a
change of address on Loeber's checks
is apparently at the root of his problems,
according to Wayne Gripp, the Veterans
Administration's campus representative.
Loeber says he moved from Pleasant
Hill to Eugene during the first part
of October and registered a change of

Gripp's inquiry to the Portland office
of the Veterans administration, on Dec. 4,
1974, showed that the checks had been sent
to the Pleasant Hill address but we
returned. Loeber says "I checked with
Gripp to see what the problem was, but
he couldn't tell me then, or any time
since.''
On Jan. 2 Loeber says he contacted
Dave Simmons, the Veterans coordinator
for Congressman James Weaver, and
Simmons called the Vn. office in Portland.
"It took Simmons only one hour to
find out what Gripp couldn't find out
for 30 days--that the checks had been
sent to the old address,' says Loeber.
"Either he (Gripp) doesn't get a response
on an inquiry or he doesn't release the

according to Eugene Postmaster

a federal check would not be forwarded
would be because it was stamped "do

To the Editor:
I finally did it--I am riding the bus to
s.chool instead of driving my car. No,
• that's okay, I don't expect an award or
merit badge. I just wanted to say that,
an important incentive in my decision to
ride the bus was the introduction of the
FAST PnSS, available at a discount on
campus. Couple this to the savings to my
family of $100 a year for insurance, and
even more than that for gasoline for my
car--not to mention the advantage of being
able to study on my way to school--and
you were to find me faithfully trying to
purchase the magic FnST P.h.SS.
Riders of the bus told me that the
whole system was a hassle--thus far the
only imperfection I have found in bus
transportation is the failure of the drivers
to turn off the heaters once in transit,
resulting in intolerably warm temperatures within the coach. This was easily
remedied by asking the driver to turn off
the heat. I have only used the bus for a
few days, but I have encountered no problems .
If a person wishes to talk about hassles,
let's talk about the FAST Pn.SS. I walked
in yesterday to acquire one, and they
wouldn't accept a check for the $10 cost-it was no imperfection in my check-writing
record- -they just didn't accept checks!
Not being one to carry $10 pocket change,
I was denied the pass. The business office
cashes checks for a maximum of $5--so
how in the hell does one get this pass.
nt any rate, I came back the next day
with a crisp ten dollar bill to buy my pass.
It appeared that "no one had the time" to
pick any up, so I was ripped another day. ·
It appears that I will.have spent $10 in
bus fare this month before I get my
FAST PMS. Either that or I will have
to go downtown and get the pass, devoid
of the student discount . . . or maybe
I will have to just start driving to school
again.

Admonishes Sallie Torres

To the Editor:
Students of Lane Community College
should be ashamed of the non-actions of
their current student .·body president to
insure
student
representation and
autonomy both on this campus and in

the community. From her own point of
view, it seems to me that she would
rather sit back and let the administration, (Jay Jones), run the show. From
studying her over a long period of time
I assure you that this is the way that
she operates.
Sallie Torres, the current student
body president, has done more harm to
students by her non-actions than if she
had tried to maintain students' rights.
We can sincerely th :mk Sallie for handing
over half of the Associated Students'
budget to the administration.
We can
also credit her with a lack of communication, lack of publicity for events, l ack
of events and l ack of any credability in
the whole of the associated Students of
Lane Community College.
• Over the objections of Sallie Torres
and Jay Jones (assigned to keep student
government under control of the administration), the A-ssociated Students passed
a resolution creating a student union.
Sallie Torres, it seems, would rather
not publish the fact that this happened,
let alone acknowledge the union's existence. I guess she thinks if she ignores
it, it'll go away.
Well, I havenewsforyouSallieTorr.es;
it won't go away! Until you start caring
about the common students of Lane Community College, I guarantee you that
they will continue to not care about their·
' ' student bodv president.''
The .n.SLCC had a long history of
leadership until you stepped in, Sallie
Torres. Maybe the Student Senate should
create a new position for you:..-secretary
of State for Ja v Jones.
(all I can· say is that) if this nonrepresentation is to continue Sallie Torres
might as well resign rather than to undergo an impeachment. Impeachment? What
for? Sallie Torres has at one time or
another violated each and every one of
her obligations to the students. The fact
that she has not been the official representative of students of Lane Community
College would be enough. Believe me,
there are responsible leaders in the
ASLCC, Sallie Torres is an exception.

Condemns President Schafer
hn open letter to President Schafer:
I want to convey my shock and disgust
over the abrupt and ingracious dismissal
of Terry Maddox (Geology 202) who, along
with many other part-time instructors,
was fired last week. Mr. Maddox, after
six years at LCC, was not even informed
of his dismissal until one or two days
before class; we students, many of whom
enrolled in the evening class specifically
to benefit from Mr. Maddox's vast experience and particular insight, did not find
out until class time. This constitutes a
breach of contract (we enrolled for Geology 202 with Maddox, not someone else)
as well as very poor manners. Mr. Maddox's replacement is admittedly not a
geologist, nor was he informed he was
to become an instructor of geology until
a day before class.
From what I could discover, you,
Mr. Schafer,
decided over the holiday
recess (and after we had registered and
paid tuition for this term) that there was
not enough cash around. The word was
suddenly passed down last week to eliminate one part-time instructor per department. So some good people got the
axe, and the only reason given is inflation, rising costs, etc.
What I want
to know is why there was not better
planning- -somebody blew it. nlso, what
do you intend to do about it ?
Meanwhile, LCC generously provides

Dec. 10, 1974). Just how necessary is
such a gas-consuming monster to the
administration of a college too broke
to pay needed instructors ?
Mr. Schafer, there is a serious imbalance here- -and I challenge you to at
least try to correct it by swapping your

not informecl of this change,' said James
Snow, Faculty Council ch;_lirman. "When
instructors went to get a new class
approved, they found that there was a whole
new process to go through before their
classes could be approved," he said.
An article in the last issue of the
TORCH described the four easy steps
one had to follow to begin a new class.
Those steps consisted of a justification
(a tabulated survey of interested persons),
a course description, an outline, and a
budget analysis. If an experimental
"workshop" is requested, a person would have to have it approved by Dean Gerald
Rasmussen of the Office of Instruction,
but an official class must be approved
by the Office of Instruction, the LCC
Board, and the State Board of Education.
Sound complicated? Well, it may get
worse. If the proposal which Dr. Case
has made is approved, there will be at
least 10 steps to go through before a new
class may be started.
For what reason this change may come
about is unknown at this time, except
that "the administration just wants to
play a part, and to get involved in the
opening of new classes,' ' Rasmussen said.
Which would bring one to ask, "How much
of a part? How involved?
although this proposed change has
not been approved, and is unknown as
to whether or not it will be approved, the
TORCH would like to make the students
and instructors aware of important
changes such as these before they occur
so that interested persons may speak out
for or against them.

Down SWOCC and ~son
Baptist in weekend play
. by Kelly Fenly
Lane Community College has become a
connotative "Number l" in the Oregon
Community College n.thletic fissociation
this weekend after tabbing basketball conference wins three and four. The Titans
whipped Southwestern Oregon 91 to 85
here Friday night and then half blasted
Judson Baptist out of Portland Friday
night, 96 to 60, to remain the only unbeaten team in OCCn.A conference action.
Blue
and
Umpqua,
1:,inn-Benton,
Mountain community colleges are all 3
and 1 to share the second place standing.
Lane did some pretty impressive things
weekend, to say the least. For
this
against SWOCC the Titans
instance,
seemed to score from everywhere. Rick
Weidig and Doug n.inge tallied 21 points
apiece, Captain Robbie Smith shot for 20
and Bob Woods added 10 more to give
Lane four players in the double-figure
category.
The following night Woods exploded
with 26 points against Judson Baptist
and, despite 18 points by ainge, stole the
limelight while Smith and Weidig rested
for a change with 9 and 8 respectively.
If Lane's balanced scoring performance wasn't enough to intimidate SWOCC
and Judson Baptist, then, surely, their
fast break was. It seems like any Titan
who gets the chance can suddenly start a
fast break and, most of the time, they
did just that. hlong with a good early
defense, Bates accredited the win over
Judson Baptist to the Titan's ability to
" get the fast break going." Guard Greg
Anderson deserves a hand for his performance Friday night as he teased SWOCC
all night by igniting the fast breaK- -both
from a defensive steal or offensive rebou nd ·
The Titans dominated the boards all
weekend, wrestling away a 54 to 41
margin against Southwestern Oregon and
grabbing 43 to Judson's 34. Lane shot
45.1 % from the field to put away SWOCC
and fired a respective 53.4% to bounce
JBCC.
But the Titans did some pretty unimpressive things this weekend, too. For a
good shre of the game with Southwestern
Oregon the Titans couldn't really pass,
catch or dribble with any solid consistency.
The man-to-man defense was below standard and, in fact, Lane went into a zone
the last three minutes against SWOCC to
try and stop the Laker penetration. "We're
just not hungry enough' ' admitted Bates
after the game, but was undoubtedly
pleased with Lane's performance the next
eve at Judson Baptist.
Lane wil~ challenge 1 and 3 Central
Oregon Wednesday, January 15, at Bend,
then comes home to ·a match with LinnBenton Friday the 17th. Linn-Benton is
3 and 1 this season and proves to be amble
competition 'tor the Titans, though Lane
expects to win. But then, as coach Dale
Bates says, "We expect to win everytime
we run on the court."
