Students·cramped from c/dssroom to parking lot
( Continued from front cover)
"We've got people who want into welding,
into electronics, into math. into just about
• everything."
Robert Marshall, director of admissions and registration, concurred. "All the
occupational classes are full with waiting
lists and a lot of the college transfer classes
are filled up, too,·· he said. •'Too many
people j~st couldn't get the classes they
wanted.
For some students, the problem is
quite serious. as James Piercey, associate
dean of instruction pointed out. "There
arc people who aren't going to graduate
because they didn't get into certain
courses." he explained. "If we offered
classes on a graveyard shift, they'd fill
\
up...
Most students who succeeded in
entering the programs and classes they
wanted found them overcrowded. Piercey
said courses were packed well beyond
capacity this term. "On the whole there is
ahout a 15 percent overload in all courses.
We've got people in classes all over
campus sitting on the floor."
As most LCC students realize all too ·
well. classrooms are but one area on
campus where the effects of the increased
enrollment are evident. The campus
bookstore is definitely another; many
students confronted the problem directly
a~ they searched through the store for
textbooks and found empty shelves instead. Georgia Henrickson, bookstore
manager. said the textbook shortage has
definitely worsened this term; rather than
be ing confined to specific programs or
0

classes it is "pretty general." The reason
for shortages, according to Henrickson, is
that instructors. not foreseeing enrollment
hikes in their classes, simply did not order
enough books. The problem is complicated, Henrickson added, by the fact that
reorders are taking ·'a long time'· in many
cases. ·'Sometimes the publishers themselves arc running out of stock because of
the current paper shprtage," she explained. and added that instructors are
being advised to request students who
drop classes to sell their books back to the
store.
Any student who has eaten lunch
during the peak noon hours at either the
cafeteria. the snackbar, or the restaurant
has undoubtedly confronted the problems
increased enrollment presents. • 'You
understand the problem pretty fast when
you stand there and try to find a table as
your food gets cold." said Ken Brownell.
food services coordinator. Brownell said
there were no immediate solutions to the
difficulties in sight. "We've reached the
saturation point with seating. There's just
no money for more tables and chairs.''
Lack of staff to bus the tables also
contributes to the problem. Brownell said
the number of work study students
employed in food services has been cut in
half (from 30_to 15) since last term. "There
arc no more work study people available.
The money is gone. So we may have to add
paid positions to the staff, and the cost of
this will probably be passed on to the
students through highyr prices." he explained.

Brownell pointed <;>Ut, however, that
cati ng areas arc always more crowded
during the first several weeks of the
quarter and that "tJ,e situation will
definitely improve some" as it progresses.
Students have also been complaining
about the lack of parking spaces this term.
Ross Barton. daytime supervisor of security. said the east. south, and west parking
lots are generally filled by 9:45; at this
point "people bcgm abandoning their cars
wherever they can." He said if more
people were awafe of and used the
northeast lot, however. parking would not
be a problem. "There's always space up
there. It's never been filled up."
Barton said there is a real shortage of
handicapped parking spaces this term.
"I've had to beg, borrow and steal spaces
from other areas for handicapped students.·· he said. He pointed out that,
because of the shortages, the security
deparJment had been placed in the position
of determining ,\·ho is more handicapped,
who deserves the available space more."
Barton predicted that parking prob1ems will improve as the quarter progresses , "The first few weeks are always
•
realty chaotic," he explained.

to an unsuccessful Student Senate meeting
Thursday.
Uns.ucccssful not because of a lack of

carry on the' meeting.
After spending tht'ec hours resolving
nine of the eleven action items on the
agenda. debate was halted for a "Challenge to the quorum . .. A challenge by one
of the senators causes a roll call count to
determine if more than holf of the 32 senators arc present. But a quorum was not in

of the body the meeting could not continue.
According to Connie 'Hood. ASLCC
sccretan:. the challenge was initiated just

Brcnnard and Hale agreed that the
Union's initial power will be as a vehicle for
public opinion. but Bre.nnard added "We
arc seeking legal help to determine if we
can eventually get control of student funds

A Student Union Charter was drawn
_up at Tuesdays meeting outlining these
four points in its struct~re:
• Every student mem~er will have one
vote.
There will be no central figurehead for
the organization.
All votes will be by a simple majority of
those in attendance at a meeting.
• Each student will be equally responsible
for implementing student policy decided in
Union meetings.

Barbara Connoly, Student Health

that some of the isspes discussed ;t
Tuesday's meeting were the lack of LTD
bus tokens. the funding of Student Health
Services. and the cutting of some classes
because of a lack of funds--while
athletics received more money.
Brcnnard. as ASLCC First Vice President. determines the priority of agenda
items at Senate meetings and says the

The mass media is.a large part of our
modern experience and until recently it has
been largely out of control.
That is,
largely out of the control of the people
whose interest. theoretically. it is supposed
to serve. But the forces of history seem at
,vork to alter this situation.
In recent years there has been
pressure put on the Fc;deral Communi<:ations Commission (FCC) and on cabletelevision corporations to open at least one
television channel per community for the
public's direct use.
.
In the print media, the development of
the offset printing process in the early
sixties made it possible for literally anyone
with a typewriter to publish a community
newspaper at a minimal cost and effort.
In radio, the phen.omenon known as
non-commercial, liste~er-supported radio has put the people in control of at least
one channel on the radio dial in many of the
nation's cities.
What's the point?
By the end of this new year, Eugene
could be one of those cities.
Over the past four .months there have
been a core group of experienced radio
people working to bring listener-supported radio to Eugene. Thfy estimate at least
another seven months of work ahead of
them. And that, only if all goes well.
Between now and then the group must
find a home for the station (tentatively
called KRAS), must ob~ain the necessary
equipment, must petition the Euge_ne
community to show support for the station
to the FCC. must be legally declared a
non-profit corporation, and must demonstrate to the FCC the financial capability to
remain in operation for at least one year
after being granted a broadcast license.
Not too suprisingly, tbe biggest problem is money . . . bu~ it is not as big a
problem as it could be.
.
Purchasing equipment to broadcast ts
the big expense and one not easily gotten
around. but once established the station
will be able to run on a very minimal
budget. Rent is a constant expenditure but
salaries will be nominal. Only a few major
staff will be paid for full time work, and
these will receive suqsistance salaries
. . . at least in the beginning. Everyone
else who works for the station will be a
volunteer.
As strange as it may sound this
dependence on volunteers is more than a
financial necessity. It's part of the beauty
of listener-supported radio.
.
According to KRAS organizers Judy
and Andy Rosenthal, and Nancy Beck the
basic tenent of listener-supported radio is
that the station belongs to the people.
Instead of relying on selling air time to
commercial sponsors for its financial
existence, a listener-supported station
like KRAS asks its listeners to buy a yearly
subscription to the station. Those who
cannot support the station monetarily are

asked to contribute their time . In this way
the station can be responsive directly to the
people in the community.
To channel the people's input. KRAS
organizers plan to establish a committee _to
run the station collccti':'cly. The committee . made up of radio staff and community
member-;. will be elcct~d and responsible
for setting station policy.
Even before the committee becomes a
realitv there arc some concepts which the
orga,~izcrs feel arc essential to making
KRAS a true community station.
One of these is open programming
. .. \\'hich is equivalc_n t to no programming. or no set format. Anyone with a
third class FCC broadcasting license and
an idea for a radio show will be able to
petition the collective for air time and
should find it.
_
A second directiop is political programming and advocacy radio. Th~t is,
radio with a point of view. KRAS will be
able to explore one· side of an issue without
having to worry about sensitive sponsors or
the fairness doctrine. But since the station
\\'ill belong to the people, KRAS' airwaves
\\'ill be open to anyone wishing to express
the opposite opinion.
Allowing the
opportunity for equal time becomes a
matter of course, and advocacy radio
becomes feasible.
Finally. the station· s organizers hope
to infuse KRAS with a strong public service
orientation.
KRAS organizers presently meet everv Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the
Grower's Market Building and, as you
might suspect, they welcome any interested souls.
They arc now in the middle of an
on-going fund raising campaign and need
both bodies and minds to make it happen.
On the one hand. the group is researching
grant possibilities which might relieve it of
a large chunk of the financial burden. On
the other hand, it is sponsoring a number
of activities on a smaller scale.
To this writer non-commercial, Listener-supported radio ·stations like KRAS
represent a very important trend in the
American culture. If anything can be said
about movements in America today it is
that the homogcnation of our culture which
has been growing over the past 30 to 40
·vea rs is beginning to disintegrate. A
significant minority of people all over the
nation _a re finding alternative ways of
solving life's basic survival problems.
No where was the standardization of
our culture more evident than on the radio
dial. No where has variety been more
ahsent. Listener-supported radio is, if
nothing else, varried. Anyone who has
heard KBOO in Portland will know how
refreshing that can be.
But it is more than refreshing. In the
words of KRAS organizer Rosenthal. "The
FCC charter states that the airwaves

Titans make it seven straight

If there was ever any doubt that

Lane Community College isn't the best
team in this year's Oregon Community
College Athletic '"'ssociation basketball
race, then now thereis every good renson
to begin expelling it. In a weekend of
"ooohs," and '"ahs,' ' and an occasional
Titans downed 2nd place
'gasp,' the
Linn Benton Community
challengers
College, 68 to 63, and Umpqua Community
College, 92 to 60, to claim their 6th
and 7th straight conference wins.
That puts the Titans way out in front
of the OCCnh. competition with a 7-0
conference record while Linn Benton and
Blue Mountain Community Colleges occupy
2nd place with 5-2; Umpqu::i dropped to
3rd with 4-3.
Both wins were obviously big ones
for Lane this weekend, but in overcoming
Linn Benton here Friday night there
was a little something extra. Perhaps
it was that Linn Benton has given Lane
trouble over the years, to include winning
both of last year's match ups; or maybe
it was that the Roadrunners are always
renowned as 'good' all the time or that
finally, they went to the Regionals last
year while Lane stayed home.
b.t any measure, it was a smug win
for Lane and a lot of satisfaction for
Titan coach Dale Bates.
"It was a very intelligent game for
us," said Bates, -"we played very smart."
But Bates had said earlier that the weekend could either put the Titans "in good
shape or in a dog's race," and, actually,
it wasn't really too far from being a
dog's race.
Despite the fact they played almost
every other aspect , of the game well
Friday night, the Titan's couldn't hit
their hat against Linn Benton's 1-2-2
zone defense.
: "We didn't shoot ·well,' admitted
Bates, a fact that sent the Titans to
the locker room at halftime trailing by
three points and shooting a chilling 30%
from the field. Meanwhile Linn Benton
was virtually making every other shot
with 48% from the field but since they
could only manage 18 rebounds to the
Titan's 30 they weren't shooting enough
to run ahead by much.
nt the start of the second half, however, the Roadrunners did run away with
six quick points to give them what looked
like a commanding 46 to 37 lead. . .
but then the Titans started to hit. Robbie
Smith, Rick Weidig, Doug ,dnge, Greg
macKay and Ron Woods worked together
for nine straight points of their own
and suddenly Lane was only trailing by
one. Linn Benton then jumped ahead a few

The Titan matmen succumbed to
nationally-ranked Clackamas 39 to 12 at
Oregon City Friday night for their second
straight loss in the Oregon Community
College Association wrestling competition.
Lane is now 0-2 in the OCCAA as
they were defeated ~y Southwestern
Oregon Community College Jan. 10.
Only two of Lane's performers, Steve
Mitchell, 190 pounds, and heavyweight
Mark Booth. wrestled for wins against five
times conference champion Clackamas.
But the Titans, who were forced to forfeit
18 point~ because they had no competitors
to enter in the 126. 1~8. and 177 pound
weight classes. stilt scored more points
against Clackamas than they have at any
match in the last three years.
Titan Coach Bob Creed asserted that
since Clackamas was rated ninth in the
nation for community colleges. a win would
be out of the question--but still felt the
Titans "competed well against them."

Titans romped to a five point lead with
six and a half minutes left to play.
41.fter that, it was just a matter of h~mging on. Linn Benton came within three
points at 64 to 61, but with 54 seconds
left Robbie Smith hit a pair of free
throws giving Lane a five point span,
followed by Greg 41.nderson's field goal
shortly after to ice it for Lane, 68 to &3.
n.L THOUGH Lb.NE'S WIN over Umpqua
here Saturday night wasn't quite like
beating Linn Benton, there was still plenty
of excitement and amble pleasure.
"It was a good game," said Dale Bates,
and, surely, the Titans did just about
everything right this time.
For one thing, their shooting was
back. Not only did Lane fire an incredible 57% from the · field but they did so
with that .awesome scoring attack of theirs.
Robbie Smith, who always seems to
play exceptionally, hit eight for 11 field
goals to lead Lane with 17 points. Bob
Woods came off the bench to tally 16

points, Doug Ainge claimed 13 and Rick.

to build our bench,'' said Bates, and
obviously so. It is because of the reserve
depth that Bates expects to win a good
shareof the road games.
The Titan's defense did an exceptional
job over then 2nd place Umpqua, too.
The Timbermen trailed Lane in rebounding by 41 to 34 and managed only to
shoot 32% from the field. Umpqua was
even unable to score for six and a half
minutes in the first half against Lane's
aggressive zone defense and, for the night,
up the ball 18 times to Titan
gave
pressure.
The Timbermen collapsed after the
first few minutes of play and even though
Lane only lead 31 to 20 at the half
the Titans dominated the game all night.
