LCC Student Health Services were started three years
ago by students to meet some of their needs for accessible,
low-cost health care. This year, the Services are continuing to
expand and gain increasing national recognition.
Approximately 100 .inquiries have been received this year
from other institutions, one as far away as Hong Kong, about
the LCC Student Health Center. These schools are interested
in how the Clinic functions, and how their own student bodies
can begin similar clinics.
The January, 1975 issue of Community & Junior CoUege,
News, distributed nationaUy, contained a history of the clinic:
'' A community of 10,000 students--representing in a
large measure the economically depressed portion of an
already economically depressed country--has more in the way
of health woes than just a bunch of bumps and bruises.
"Until about three years ago, the Student Health Service
at LCC was barely more than one of those little institutional
first-aid stations, limited mostly to a heres-a-banq-aid-andtwo-aspirins-before-bedtime-next-please brand of service.
Lane's students were acutely aware if they were going to get
an education, they were going to have to stay healthy.
"In 1972, they taxed themselves $14,000 of their student
fees. By the beginning of 1973, the first primary health care
clinic financed by any Oregon Community College student
body was in operation."
The Clinic has gro~n over the years due to the tremendous need for its service.s and the hard work of concerned students and staff. The Clinic offers a wide variety of services:
primary health care for short-term illnesses and injuries;
referrals to specialists; VD testing and treatment; tests for
pregnancy, mono, and hepatitis; family planning; and health
education. Only physical exams and family planning cost
extra. Both are $5 each.
The LCC Development Fund recently gave the Clinic.
$1,000. The Clinic used half to buy an incubator in which to
do throat and gonorrhea cultures, and half to hire a qualified
person to do vision and hearing testing. Peer counseling will
soon become one of the services offered, and there are plans
for a Health Fair on campus in the spring.
The staff of the Clinic now includes a coordinator, a
part-time doctor, two full-time nurses (one of whom is a gynocological nurse practitioner) , two part-time nurses, a
part-time lab technician, and a secretary. There is also a
varying number of nursing students, cooperative work
experience people, medical office assistants, and work-study
students.
The Clinic receiyes an average of 65 students a
day--during Fall Term ~,650 students were seen in the Primary Health Clinic, and 273 in the Family Planning Clinic.
There is no heirarchy of importance in the staff.
Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their health
by learning preventive measures, and communicating clearly
their health problems and concerns to clinic staff.
As the economy gets progressively worse, the need for
clinics like LCC's wi11 multiply. Public health facilities have
had cut backs in federal funds and are overwhelmed by
enormous caseloads. At last count, over 53 percent of the
LCC student body fell pelow the established Office of Economic Opportunity -es.tablished poverty level. The need
exists, and will increase for local, inexpensive health care
responsive to the community it serves.

then developed an a~vcrtis-ing progra~1
and set up a Citizen's Advisory Committee
(CAC) to meet monthly with LTD's Board
of Directors and di~~uss any and all
matters relating to transit operations.

how they would be run.
In i970, then-Governo r Tom McCall
accepted a joint petif!on from EugeneSpringfield for the new Lane Transit

L-COG takes you ...nex t century
The future of Lane County's highways,
transit system, and bikeways was projected
as far ahead as the year 2000 at Thursday
morning's meeting of the Lane Council of
Governments (L-COG)
The meeting, in th~ large conference
room at 135 East 6th Street, was between
L-COG and its own Metropolitan Area
Transportatio n Committee (MA TC), and
representati ves from the Oregon State
Highway Division and t,he Federal Highway Administration (FHW A). It dealt with
five local bikeway projects and five
alternative analyses o_f the relationship
between totaJly-empl oyed population,
residential/bu siness land use, and public/
private modes of transP,ortation.
L-COG a council of the Eugene,
Springfield, and Lane County Governments, approved five local bikeway pro---jects for . application to the state's "One
Percent Program," where the allocation
·(one percent) of state funds is made for
1bikeways. These projects include the
EWEB Bikeway (Don St. to 31st St.),-Ferry
Street Bridge improv~men ts, the South
Bank Bikeway (Ferry St. Bridge to Autzen
Bridge), Territorial Road (Veneta to Elmira), and the 1-105 Bikeway (Garden Way
to Coburg Rd.).
The projects are ready for ·immediate
implementati on and will be submitted to
the State Highway Division for consideration in its programming .

This mode of transport; is cheap;

Five other projects .still have obstacles
blocking their implementati on. They will
be submitted to the state if and when the
obstacles can be removed.
• Bill Guenzler, L-C.OG Transportatio n
Cordinator. said that local and state
priorities sometimes differ and conflict.
These have to be worked out.
The other major item on the agenda
concerned MATC's research into problems
of the existing means of transportation .
This includes both public and private
systems and the poss,ible courses they
might take in the future.
• '1985 is hardly lpng-range any
more,'' said a representati ve of the
FHWA.Guen zler recommended "network
tests" based on a 25-year conjecture. A
network test is an analysis of the existing
deficiencies and develops an experimental
course of action to correct them.
Guenzler wanted all five analyses
approved, with no comip.itment to any one
course of action at this time. This met with
some opposition.
Two proposed tests came under particular fire during the meeting:
One proposal provided for a twenty·
percent increase in transit use. Guenzler
admitted it was a relatively radical increase, but felt it was irriportant to provide
for the extreme.
"When you look at the modal split
[between private and transit t~avel] in

usually

quick,

other countries, its not even that extreme," said Guenzler.
The other test which met with oppo---sition was the .. compact growth"plan, one
which dealt with "tran~portati on conservation."
"Looking to the year .2000,"Guenzler
said, "we should consider the relationship
of land use to transportation. Could we
create housing and job opportunities in the
same areas so that people just wouldn't
have to move around so much?"
"We· don't even know what energy
(source) we'll have then,'.'quippe d Hugh
McKinley, Eugene city - manager. "We
may all be using those bikeways."
The representativ es of the State Highway Division and the FHW A wanted
long-range plans, as Guenzler had set up,
but thought they should.be more defined as
systems rather than concepts. They
charged that .Guenzler was still hitting at
concepts in his proposPd tests. They urged
him to be more spectttc in his requests,
rather than just outlining existing deficiencies and analyzing their relationships.
He responded by paming the three
main problems in the lpcal area as being
the river ,cros~ings, River Road, and
Franklin Boulevard.
All five of the MATC's proposed
analyses were approved, and will serve as
the guidelines for future legislation concerning Lane County tqmsportation .

"Trippers" arc SP,arc buses put on
lines of intense use to. catch the regular
car's surplus riders. They also run
between the scheduled times for those who
might have missed their bus. King says
the riders' unawareness_of the trippers has
been partially reduced since the beginning
of the term. as students have become
familiar \.vith the procedure.
•'Trippers arc just ware buses, and if
we have a lot of breakdowns in a dav then

Stemming from se~ds planted in the
CAC meetings, LTD has decided to extend
the boundaries of its service areas to
include Central and Ea~tern Lane County.
The new boundaries W\11 go into effect in

of the suburban type, will be purchased for
this growth.

In addition to outliqing the nP.twmk of
routes, the Masterpl,an also analyze~
cyclists' perceptions, rjdership cha1·aueristics, bicycle accidents, education and enforcement in Eugene. Some of their
findings and suggestions incJude the
following:
Cyclists' Perceptjons: Cyclists overwhelmingly agreed that streets with bike
lanes are far safer than those without
them. Lane widths of between five and six
feet are considered satisfactory.
Ridership Chara~teristics: Cycling
is most popular from May to October,
apparently because of favorable weather
conditions. Those who ride their bicycles
to school or college seem most likely to
ignore rain and cold; those riding either to
work or for recreational purposes are much
less likely to continue during periods of

averaging a strong 18 points per game.
Greg MacKay. Bob \Yoods. and Doug

Rick Weidig put in abqut 11 each game.
Together they were t):ie third strongest

more impressive. conta,ining opponents to
a 66 point-per-gatne average, and
emerged as the top defensive team in the

Smith and MacK~y wound up the

outstanding tight-end: and a number of
colleges, including Ort::gon, tried to sign
him. Smith decided, to keep playing
basketball, however, and chose Lane. As a
freshman last year, he ~as named second
team All-Conference of the OCCAA.
This year. as a sophomore, he is captain of
the team, leading scorer, and is fourth in
the OCCAA in reboun.ding and scoring.
It took awhile for Grtg MacKay to start
playing ball well enou_gh to average 13
points a game this ye,ar. But once he
began. he didn't quit .. "I just needed to
start playing defense,," said the 6'2"
freshman. "I needed tq be more physical,
and I had to get used to. them being bigger
in college than in high .school. When my
defense improved, I st.1;rted playing."
MacKay shot a s111idgen better than
.500 percent from the. field in OCCAA
action, and tallied all bµt a few of his 129
points in the last eight. games of the first
round of OCCAA play., But although he
finished the round a~ second leading
scorer, he's quick to adq that "I may be the
second leading scorer, ~ut two guys (Ainge
and Woods) are right, there with me."
MacKay was chosen. to the first team in
his conference for an All-Metro honor in
his senior year while playing for Central
Catholic High School. . He hopes to play
basketball as much as possible from now
on. and "hopefully," htr says, will be back
at LCC next year. ·
