For the past month, the Health Services has been involved
in the organization of a Health Fair to take place Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday, May 13-15.
Among the activities scheduled for the Fair are films on
Chinese medicine, an acupuncture demonstration, self-exams
for women taught by the Women's Center, a display of quack
machines from the early part of the century, liberating
systems of polarity therapy, yoga, and group workshops.
Many other projects are planned.
The Fair will take place here at LCC, with many community
organizations and individuals involved. Mime shows, magic
shows, jugglers, and hopefully the weather will permit as
much outdoor activity as possjble.
The purpose of this Fair is to draw as wide a range of
student and community interest as possible. The Health
Services Clinic hopes to use this Fair "to serve the
educational needs of our senior citizens in Lane County, the
children of Lane County and those folks just interested in
finding out the answers to some of their health questions.''
The Fair is funded by the ASLCC Student Senate and also
by the Health Council of Lane County. There is a great need
for students and other concerned individuals to help in setting
up booths, demonstrations, and film showings. It also would
like to hear from anyone who has ideas for the Fair, or who
knows of someone they think would like to participate.
Those people who are interested in supporting the Fair are
invited to stop by the Health Services Office during the week
for more information.

by Rick Bella

W.W. (Bill) Cox, LCC superintende nt of
college facilities, announced last week that
he will retire July 1.
One of the few links to LCC' s progenitor,
the Eugene Vocational School, Cox served
as its director for 16 years from 1949 to
1965.
During what the LCC anniversary buttons call the "Ten Great 1' ears," Cox spent
most of his time involved in the planning of
the LCC ampus, and supervised its construction.
The walls of his office are covered with
awards from various groups appreciative of
his talents. But one, the Oregon Vocational Association's Award for Outstanding
Service in Vocational Education for 1970
("I'm most proud of this one") is his finest
momento.
The TORCH has taken this opportunity
to ask him his opinions on LCC's future.

TORCH: What direction would you like
to see LCC follow in the future?
COX: - Well, first I must say that LCC
should continue to emphasize its vocational
programs and remain strong in that area.
I also think that LCC should evaluate all
its programs and consider modification,
revision, additions, and even some deletions. We must not get stuck in a mold.
I would like to think that LCC will again
secure the confidence and the 'yes' vote of
the general public. The budgets voted in
recent years have not been sufficient for
satisfactory operation here.
I predict that LCC will reach a peak in a
few years on this campus, and will move
toward the construction of a downtown
campus, where we can offer many programs in a central location.
TORCH: What mistakes do you think
that LCC has made?
COX: Well, I can't help but think that in
many cases, we've added courses and/or
programs without realizing the impact on
the existing buildin~s and finances.

I think it will settle down, though, after .
the first shakedown and everyone knows
where they stand. These rumors that have
been going around have been drastic and
morale-killing.
TORCH: What direction would you like
to see the Eoard of Education take in these
next years?
COX: I've followed the Board through
the first ten years. At first, they were
involved in everything--th ey had to be. But
for the future, I would like to see them stick
to policy-making decisions rather than
enter administratio n.
TORCH: What role do you think that
students can play in the school?
COX: Student input is important. But it
is only as important as the student's
investigation into the pros and cons of a
proposal.
I know that students lack activity space,
and I hope that they get it in the new
remodeling.
If they make a rational presentation of a
justifiable request, in terms of money,
space, and time, those requests should be
satisfied.
TORCH: What about the unions--the
and management
classified,
faculty,
teams--what affect do you think they have
had on the school?
COX: I think the unions have hurt the
working relationship between management
and employees. But I put the blame at the
state level. The state forced everyone, by

law, into the present situation. You just
don't have the rapport anymore.
TORCH: What about yourself? We've

"A Man for all Seasons"
review by Roger Reid

The trumpets blared. The house lights,
already dimmed to half, eased into
darkness.
The transformatio n had occured.
Now no longer were patrons seated in
the LCC Performing Arts Theatre, but,
rather became visitors to the chambers of
the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir
Thomas More, in the court of Henry VIII
King of England.
Thus, with the guidance and commentary of a 16th century "common man"
(a good portrayal in caricature by former
weatherman, Fred Pattie), we are led on a
fascinating tour through the life of a man
beheaded by his King and sainted by the
Church of Rome.
George Lauris, in the lead role of Sir
Thomas More, paints a living portrait of
this mysteriously sedate intellectual of
singular principles who, even at the cost of
all of his possessions, his title, and finally,
even his life, refused to compromise to the
will of King Henry VIII.
Chosen by King Henry (played a bit too
neurotically by Alan Wood) as Lord
Chancellor of England, More is asked to
grant the King divorce from his forst wife,
the daughter of the King of Spain, so •
that Henry may marry Ann Boleyn, a

A transformation in time

woman of the King's desire. So great an
uproar does The Divorce create with the
King of Spain, the Roman Catholic Church,
and English Catholics that when More will
not consent to the devorce, the King severs
completely England's religious ties to that
Church and it's Pope. Henry forms the
Church of England, with himself as it's
proclaimed head.

iced his superb character of The Duke of

When Sir Thomas More continues his
selence on the matter, refusing to consent,
the resisters to King Henry's actions look
to More as a figure-head. But Henry,
abiding no opposition, even in the form of
silence, demands that More sign an oath to
maintain the lawfulness of the new Queen,
Anne Boleyn. When More refuses on his
principles, the King has him railroaded for
high treason and beheaded.
This is the story of the first "serious"
drama production of the 1974-75 LCC
Performing Arts season; the first drama
directed by Ed Ragozzino in four years,
and one in particular that he waited fifteen
years to put on.
The wealth of talent used in the
production reads like a "Who's Who in

Musicians Ball: Pleasing to 'bidde rs' and'auctioneers' alike
by Mike Heffley·
"Qmtempora ry dancing," said the program, "in the Forum Room." I remember when I was a teenager in Richmond, California, and Ron C.Ornelius
(he was a guitar player who went on to cut records with Leonard C.Ohen and
Bob Dylan) and the Untouchables used to play Friday nights in an old auctiongone-dance hall, to echoing droves of young hoodlums and molls. C.Ouples
oopulated standing up during the slow dances, and sometimes boys cut each
other during the fast ones ... Even better, I remember nights in Berkeley, at
UC, and in San Francisco at the Fillmore West and the Avalon Ballrooms, and
the Longshoreman's Hall ... all youngsters, hippy and freaky as hell, cuttin'
loose and going places, speeding through cells and galaxies of acid en masse,
dancing and jumping and giving out whoops with the Grateful Dead, the
Jefferson Airplane, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, and Big Brother
and
and the Holding C,ompany, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band,
seeking the fittest survival in those terrifying forests of flesh ... anu .~are's
thjs old Forum Room a decade later with me wandering swallowed by time
and the rhythm, free as a bird-watching museum on a floor full of juiced
tomatoes, and pickles, and onions, cabbage, and rutabagas. Old people,
straight people, and their own crazy, hazy offspring, boogyin' together' like
fools in the emperor's clothes.

In the 1920's a white man named Paul VVhiteman crowned himsel'f the King
of Jazz because his orchestra was the most popular, for awhile, amongst the
ballroom beanbrains. VVhat he was, musically, was the King of Crap: He
made lifeless, soulless, oommercial productions akin to Lawrence Welk,
which the folks just lapped right up and paid good bread for. But he had a lot
of good musicians to play his crap, most noteably Bix Beiderbecke, a trumpet
player, who played with VVhiteman for money, then stayed around the job
when all the dancers were gone and played good music-his own--with other
serious and creatiW,-~ iteman sellouts.

In the Eugene Hotel last Friday night Ken Sloane, lead trumpet for the LCC
stage band, showed he is a good player, and his band, Iguana Outside, is a
band full of good players. They've got a tight, intelligent sound with guts and
cunning, and electrical charge purrfuckt for con [temporary] Dance [sing].
They're lyrical too.
But most of all, they're efficient. Most of all they had a job to do Friday
night and were out to do it well, and once it was done and they were properly
paid, and the people who paid them-the public, the producers--were gone,
and satisfied, they were free to go home or to some other place and make
more music, with their instruments, their talks and/or silences, which can't
be bought, sold, or tampered with. VVhether they did or not is beyond this
story's scope, and even beyond my knowledge, but when and if its public
stuff. I'll review it for vou.

As it was, I grooved.them for awhile, danced an even shorter while, then
left, oonsidering what I'd heard from a whole other place.

Warren has travelled over 100,000 miles
from the U.S. to the U.S.S.R. and started
more than 150 men's and joint groups. He
organized the first National Conference on
the Masculine Mystique in 1974; served
two years on the Board of NOW--National
Organization of Women--in New York City;
coordinated, nationwide, NOW's Task
Force on Masculinity and organized numerous demonstratio ns opposing the use of
men as "success objects." He has run
weekend consciousnes s-raising groups at
Georgetown University and at the Institute
for Rational Living in New York City in
addition to conducting Management
Awareness Programs for government and
industry.
One of Warren's themes is ''. . . part of
men's liberation is gaining the depth that
job specialization has to offer without being
trapped by it." Warren received his Ph.D.
in Political Science although his book, THE
LIBERATED MAN, is psychosocially
based. He presently teaches the Sociology
of Sex Roles at Brooklyn College of the City
University of New York. In 1973 he gave
up his full-time teaching position at
Rutgers for his wife's career opportunities
as a White House Fellow while he
continued to teach part-time.
This program is sponsored by the School
of Community Service and Public Affairs
Associated Students of the University of
Oregon, Eugene Human Rights Commission, District 4-J, Division of Developmental Studies, Cooperative Christian
Ministry and LCC; other sponsors include

roots, as he did to their inclination to just boogie on out the fanciest window.
Playing with him, out of all the allies there, would have been right up mine
(and inviting me and others to do so that night was another part of his musical
appeal-his act wasn't so packaged and pounded that it oouldn't be joined),
but my horn was home, so I talked with him instead.
The Cafe Royale was the best place for his particular small group jazz.
Large enough that the four could be loud and still be cool, yet small in its posh
atmosphere of candlelighted tables for talk and drink-clinks: a cozy elegance.

Other similar groups didn't have it so good. Like Mark Williams and the
Night Hogs, a quintet oomposed entirely of LCC students. Two trombones,
and acoustic bass and electric guitar for soft rhythm and linear
solos ... white-jacket tuxedoes for "intimate listening" (program) down in
the (basement) Emerald Room: Intimate indeed, with its 20 x 45 feet of
floor ... although even the dance-floor-sized King C.Ole, Forum, and
C.Olonnade Rooms were intimate in that sense, being just as cramped for
space as the smaller rooms.

These guys were suave but happy, laying out some pleasing sounds,

arrangements made for some nice, interesting musical parleying, and players
and audience alike seemed to be getting a good deal out of it all.
V\/hat happened at the Musician's Ball was something like musical chairs.
Although there were 19 groups playing in 6 rooms, each for 2 hours apiece
from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Several players would be in two bands and so would end
up going from one room to another when sets were switched. But no one
.seemed tired 'round midnight when the Starlighters (also LCC permeated), an
old nostalgic dance band, played old dance band stuff for old dancers' fox
trots and jitterbugs. Or when John Klobas (an LCC social science instructor)
and his Polka Pipers poked a pack of polka prancers .. . or when that
Emerald City (Dixie) Jazz Band brought the real old boogies out, or that footstompin' Country Profiles and them Oregonian cowpeople dressed up like a
city ... that's when it really got like an auction all in the big King Cole
Room, the musicians bawling, auctioning off the lust for life--from its
procreating roots to its born-then-dying shoots. Good as livestock and tobacco
any day.
Ninety percent of the bidders never made but a glimpse, a taunting idea of
the goods on the block ... but they had each other, the safety of their
numbers, at least for the duration of the sale. Toe others vied to buy, some
getting this, others getting that, to share or to hoard according to their
purchase and prize, and themselves.
But the musicians were the auctioneers. Toey handled a// the ball of wax,
y'all come jump at, with their Ladies and gentlemen weloome to the Lawrence
Welk show and the first item up for sale is this smoothly running bubble
machine and who will open the bidding at 25? thank! you madam do I hear 30,
30 from the gentlemen in thee ...
.· . . so!d! to the lady in the lady, " ' and all go home alone with someone.
Epilogue: Musical talent was donated by the Musician's Union; arrangements were handled by the Junior Symphony and Eugene Junior League.
Proceeds of the evening provide music scholarships for young Eugene
musicians, helping to further the careers and interests in the field of music,
and to support the League's Community Trust Fund.

and Storage System. a series of slide and
sound projections on a TV like viewer at a
cost of $22.500 per program and the Board
approved the contract for seven programs.
The Board of Education voted to accept
the project against advisement by the
Faculty Council (17 Departments against, 2
Departments in favor), Classified Employees, LCC Veterans Association and
participating student representatives.
Here are a few facts: The only person
who has seen this system in operation from
lCC is Keith Harper, head of the L.R.C.
Department. There are no studies available indicating the success or failure of this
type of instructional presentation. The
student viewing this program would be
unable to challenge or question the hos for
information not clear or misleading. This
program implemented during a high period
of unemployment and economic uncertainty might affect current faculty positions.
I feel the Taxpayers, Faculty and
Students deserve better consideration
when spending their money on unproven

speculative programs when very clearly
needing equipment to qualify graduating
students for a competitive job market.
I feel that the quality of instruction at
LCC is very high and we have very
competent faculty personnel, but, we need
better assessment of priorities by Board
members. reflecting due consideration
from critical advisement by Faculty.
Classified Personnel and Students. We
don't need the Board of Education at LCC
spending money on speculative ventures
that will only affect a few at a cost of better
education for a multitude.

The fine line
of mental health

Free legal advice
b~· Julie O,·crton

"The Thin Edge." a major television
series on mental health, began airing over
Oregon Educational and Public Broadcasting Service (OEPBS) March 31.
Produced through the cooperation of the
National Association for Mental Health and
the American Psychological Association,
the five-part series is designed to institute
a nation-wide examination of mental
health.
The "thin edge" of the title is the fine
line which many psychiatrists believe
exists between mental health and mental
illness. Everyone, they believe, crosses
that edge and comes back; some people,
however, cross over too frequently or at
some time may fail to come back. The
series forms a springboard for a locallyprepa red, magazine-format program,
"Being Human," which will follow each of
the nationally-released telecasts.
Depression, anxiety, guilt, aggression
and sexuality are the topics to be explored
on the shows. The follow-up programs,
which are being prepared by OEPBS in
conjunction with the Mental Health Association of Oregon, will feature Lawrence A.
Siebert and will take a look at how
Oregonians deal with mental health challenges. Dr. Siebert is a Portland psychologist, lecturer and clinician.
Channel 10 in Portland and Channel 7 in
Corvallis will release the programs at 8
p.m. on April 14, April 28, May 12 and
May 26, with repeat showings at 8 p.m. on
Saturdays following the initial telecasts.
David Prowitt, chief creative force
behind the award-winning PBS series
"The Killers," has produced the hour-long
programs.

Hyperactivity
explored
Dr. Lendon H. Smith, a nationally
recognized Portland pediatrician specializing in hyperactive children, will speak on
"Help for the Losers" April 17 at LCC.
He will speak at 7:45 p.m. in Forum 301.
Admission is $1 for the general public, and
free for members of the International
Reading Association, which is sponsoring
Smith's appearance.
Smith is a 1946 graduate of the UO
Medical School who has gained a national
reputation in the field of hyperactive
children. A candid and colorful talker, he
has taken his theory that hyperactivity can
be caused by certain dietetic deficiencies to
national television, appearing frequently
on the Tonight Show, and the Merv Griffin,
Dick Cavett and Mike Douglas shows.
His books include "The Children's
Doctor," "Encyclopedia of Child Care,''
and "New Wives Tales." Smith also
produced a series of 12 children's care
shows for state-wide showing on Oregon
educational television.

Support Campaign

Funds to help replenish nearly-depleted
LCC Development Fund accounts for
scholarships and emergency student loans
will be sought during the next two weeks
during LCC' s annual Community Support
Campaign.
The campaign, which will continue until
April 14, began March 31 with a kick-off
breakfast at the Eugene Hotel. Volunteers~ led by honorary chairman Ed Cone,
will be seeking about $10,000 in gifts
during the campaign.
Besides th~ scholarship and emergency
loan accounts, other activities needing
support are the LCC Library, which has
been unable to purchase a satisfactory
number of new books this--year, The
National Athletic Travel and Emergency
Loan Fund, and virtually every instructional department. Many departments,
particularly in technical-vocational areas,
need to replace or purchase new equipment.
Other non-instructional areas at LCC
also benefit. Last year funds raised during
the Drive were used to purchase an inc:ibator for the Student Health Service, and
to provide free visual and hearing tests for
students.
All donations are tax-deductible and may

Native

Americans

seeking education
(NOCR)--Over 14,000 Native Americans
are taking advantage of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs' Higher Education Scholarship Program this year, the largest number
ever.
Students are free to choose their own
course of study at any accredited institution in pursuit of a bachelor's or graduate
degree. About 1,400 will graduate with
four-year or graduate degrees during the
year.
The average Bureau scholarship is about
$1, 750. Students under the program utilize
other funds initially with the Bureau
amount serving as a supplement.
Eligibility for the educational assistance
is generally dependent upon recipients
possessing one-fourth or more American
Indian, Eskimo, or Aleut blood and being a
member of a tribe, band, or group
receiving certain benefits from the Bureau.

LCC students who have legal problems
and are seeking assistance and advice may
get help without cost at the LCC Legal
Service Program.
If there is a legal problem and the student is eligible for assistance, Attorney
Eric Haws and his staff will inquire into the
problem. Everything told to Haws will be
kept strictly confidential and will not be
discussed with anyone without permission.
Because of the limited number of hours
the attorney is on campus each week and
because certain legal problems are excluded from the contract between the
Student Government and the attorney, not
all who seek aid can be helped. The excluded areas are:
·o) All appearances in any civil or
criminal case or contested administrative
hearings;
(2) Student conduct code violations;
(3) Tax and estate planning;
(4) Matters in which one student
opposes another;
(5) Claims against the Associated
Students; and
(6) Incorporation for private profit.
If a student's problem does not fall into
the eligible service categories the legal
service program will make a referral to
another agency or private attorney's office.
The Legal Service Program is located on
the second floor of the Center Building in
the Student Government area. Its hours
are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through
Friday. There is no fee.

Educational assistance
programs announced
(NOCR)--The prestigious Carnegie Council
on Policy Studies in Higher Education, in a
report issued in early March, caJled for the
launching of three new major programs of
federal assistance to higher education:
Tuition Equalization Grants to be paid to
students attending private colleges and
universities to reduce the tuition gap and
alleviate sagging enrollment at these
institutions.
A National Student Loan Bank to replace
current loan programs. Undergraduates
could borrow up to $6,000 and repay, based
on future earnings, over a period of about
20 years. The Internal Revenue Service
would undertake all collections .
A program of federal support .of large
•research libraries because financial stringency and increases in costs of library
materials have lead to sharp cutbacks in
funds for libraries in recent years.
The report recommended libralization of
eligibility conditions and an expansion of
the existing Basic Educational Opportunity
Grants to cover up to $1,600 of a student's
non-instructional costs instead of the 50
percent of total costs (up to $1,400) under
present legislation.
The report also recommended an expansion of the work-study program, expansion
of State Student Incentive Grants programs, the funding of cost-of-education
supplements to be paid by the federal
government to institutions, modest expansion of support for vocational education,
and the diversion of veterans educational
benefits to other federal programs of
higher education assistance as the number
of enrolled Vietnam veterans declines.
If adopted, the Council's recommendations would increase federal expenditures
for major education programs from the
current $9.6 billion to $11. 7 billion in
. 1979-80 (in 1974 dollars).

the important thing to Lloyd is that he is

At one time some of the government's

breathing was in as a possibility. walking
and talking were out.
They had good reason. In the early
morning wreck in which Lloyd sheared off
most of one side of his head. he also broke

Dibble. and was an average student in high

the Army not long aftc~ that.
Dibble left the relative security of

mm apartment in Springfield and enroll in
classes at LCC. It was _the second biggest
step he had taken since coming out of the

"Up until now I'~e been scared of

Lloyd's biggest st!:!P was ltterally--a
step. One of the casualities of the accident,
besidc·s some pretty badly broken bones,
was Dibble's equilibriu~n. Doctors took a
good look at Lloyd ~t the Veterans'
Administratin hospital in Portland and told
him and his parents it was unlikely he
would every walk again. His ability to
balance himself was gone.
' ' At the hospital the doctors said I
would never be able to walk again . But I'd
go off by myself in my wheelchair where
they couldn't see me aryd practice.
Pretty soon I could ,walk pretty good."
Lloyd does walk pretty well, although
ambulate might be a better word. With his
elbows out to the side he teeters from left
to right almost like one of those mechanical

Vets drawing 'bennies'
Veterans are turning to their GI Bill
benefits in record numbers and it appears
that even higher records will be set when
all spring semester enrollment figures are
in. VA officials pointed out GI Bill education allowances were increased by 22. 7
percent in December 1974.
Vietnam-era veterans have since 1966
used their education benefits at a higher
rate than either their World War II or
Korean Conflict counterparts. Enrollments
during the past three months, VA speculates, have been spurred both by the
increased payments and by economic
conditions.
In February, the number of veterans
enrolling for their first semester under the
GI Bill was the highest new spring enrollment in the history of the current program
and 24 percent above last spring (59,889 in
Feb. 1974 compared to 74,548 in Feb.
1975). Total veteran enrollment in
February was 1.6 million, up 11.5 percent
from the November figure of 1.45 million.
Up by the highest margin was junior
college enrollment--increased by 24.6 percent over November (up from 459,804 in
November to 573,110 in February). In contrast with enrollments in junior colleges
where low tuition rates leave the bulk of
the education allowances for subsistence,
enrollments in programs on which VA pays
only tuition--correspondence and flight
training)--were down.
More than 5 7 percent of all eligible
veterans and servicemen have used their
GI Bill benefits for some form of training
since they became available in 1966. The
comparable, figure for World War II
veterans was 50.5 percent. Vietnam-era
veterans have surpassed World War II
veterans in total numbers using benefits
compared to
college (2,281,000
for
2,230,000 after WW II). Only 28 percent of
the WW II GI Bill trainees studied at
college level compared to 56 percent of the
Vietnam group.

The monthly payment to a single veteran
in full time school training is now $270 per
month; those with one dependent get $321,
and those with two or more get $366 plus
$22 per month for each additional dependent over two.
Payments have been increased four
times since 1966 when rates were set at
$100 per month for a single veteran. WW II
veterans got up to $75 per month, depending on other income, plus an annual allowance for tuition and books up to $500. The
comparable $270 per month is paid without
regard to earnings, and the student must
pay his own tuition and books, it wa!
noted.

Oregon (0) Studen t (S) Public (P) Inter
seeks lobbyin g
power
by Mike Heffley

The Oregon Student Public Interest
Research Group (OSPIRG) is considering
forming a separate organization which
would have the power to '' take the
research that OSPIRG does and go to
Salem and lobby ," according to Bill van
Dyke , staff me·nber of OSPIRG's state
office.
This " lobbying arm would have to be
funded separately, ' ' he further clarifies.
"We would have to ask LCC and other
community college students for two different donations for the research and lobby
arms, and likewise the students at state
and private institutions would have to elect
to include the extra one in their incidental
fee structure." OSPIRG, as simply a
research group, is now being funded voluntarily at community colleges (it drew
about a hundred dollars last term , says
LCC OSPIRG Treasurer Steve Pruitt), and
through "incidental fees " --fees tacked on

The following letter was sent to
the State Board of Higher Education by former Governor Tom
McCall: ·

The Oregon Student Public Interest Research
Group has informed me that you will soon be
considering their status as a research organization
under 501(cX4) definition, which would allow them to
' present their research io the legislature.
Over the past three years, -you a-nd I together have
watched OSP/RG prove itself as a responsible group of
student.researchers. At a time when their fellows were
threatening the state with destructive a-nd anti-social
activity, OSPIRG students and staff were engaged in
some very solid and serious research into problems
.
facing Oregon.
While I haven 't always agreed with them, on the
whole OSPIRG has done careful, responsible investigation. Studentfunded groups frequently present us
with challenging opinions. Such disagreement is a sign
that the educational institutions are working as they
should to raise questioning young citizens.
Our legislators need this research. Our students
need to see how responsible law-making takes place.
These kids are doing a great job. They' re providing an
education "experience not available anywhere else on
campus. I strongly urge you to amplify that experience
by allowing OSPIRG to change their tax status so they
can- take their work to the Legislature.
Sincerely,
Tom McCall

Local board tackles all fronts-environmental, consumer, civil right issues

by Kathy Craft

"We're probably about the most active
board in the state," claims Frank Henderson, secretary of the LCC board of the
Oregon Student Public Interest Research
Group (OSPIRG). "And we could do even
more if we just had more people involved."
Although it only has II members, the
local OSPIRG branch is participating in a
variety of projects, according to Henderson.
OSPIRG projects which investigate civil
rights, environmental and consumer problems are generally determined by the State
OSPIRG board.
Local boards determine which projects
they desire to concentrate on locally.
Statewide projects the LCC board is
involved with presently include studies on

certificate indicated she was charged the
base rent (102.50) instead of the approximately $150 she actually paid. Henderson
said complaints had been filed with other
OSPIRG boards concerning similar practic~
at other ASH facilities. He added OSPIRG
had clashed with ASH in the past
concerning various other practices of the
housing organization, such as rent hikes.
Henderson said the local board also is
investigating two other consumer issues,
both of which must remain confidential
until the studies are completed to insure
their success.
He also said OSPIRG serves as an
organization with which to register complaints concerning various civil rights,
enviromental and consumer issues. The
members will first of all investigate the
complaint to determine if it is valid, then
consult with members of the OSPIRG state
board and, staff to decide upon an
appropriate course of action.
Ideas for projects are often formulated
from these complaints, said Henderson,
and these ideas are communicated to the
OSPIRG State Board through LCC's representative to that group, Montee King.
King, like other representatives to the

The local board, along with other
boards across the state, also is investigating certain practices of Adult Student
Housing (ASH) facilities in Oregon, especially in regards to ASH's policies in
providing rent certificate receipts to its
tenants. Henderson said the LCC board

complex in Springfield, that her rent

The Foundation for Oregon Research

Wilson H. Hulley. Analyses and recom-

Hulley further explained that FORE was
looking only for the most recent audit. As
for the retail drug study, Hully said that
"he (van Dyke) ought to talk to the Retail
Druggists Association." whose repudiation
of OSPIRG's facts was, Hulley claimed,
"part of the public record."
Finally. to the admission of Van Dyke's
that the automobile repair industry study
was not intended to be universal, Hulley
replied, "Having spent considerable time
in the communications field, including
market research, you don't do a selective
research study based on initial biases."
Van Dyke claims that FORE was
uncommunicative with OSPIRG during its
study. and that OSPIRG told FORE that
"at any time we would be willing to meet
with them, talk to them, answer any of
their questions, and at no time did they
contact us. They wrote back letters saying,
'we'll contact you in the future,' every time
we said we'd meet with them any time. On
one occasion, when they were down in
Eugene ... they contacted the local board
at the U of O, and asked if they could meet
with the whole local board. This is on an
hour's notice ... "

Department. That was in error. They only
looked at two of our projects. The other
one was an auto repair study. They said we
used an automobile that was altered to
simulate a malfunction. That's not correct.
We used automobiles that were certified
that they were in good shape, both before
and after by a genuine certifier. The study
was designed by the (State) Attorney
General's office. They said we used the
results from the two auto repair shops we
to to characterize the whole automobile
repair industry. This was not correct. We
specifically limited our conclusions to the
chain of shops that we visited. We do sixty
projects a year; we've been in existence for
four years. They looked at two of our
projects and they didn't even get the facts
right on those."
Wilson Hulley, the executive director of
FORE was asked to respond to these
issues.
"The audit that they (OSPIRG) produced at a Board of Higher Education
meeting was an audit unavailable to us
during our deliberations. The institutions
that we chatted with never had copies of
the audit."

OSPIRG's river

researchers

bring in Coast Guard inspector
by Rick Bella

The River Project of the LCC Oregon
Student Public Interest Research Group
(OSPIRG) is what Chairman Hank Laramee
calls the "most exciting thing we've done
all year.''
The project was undertaken last fall in a
hope to supplement the work done by
governmental agencies in controlling pollution in the Willamette River.
Headed by LCC's Student Resource
Director Mike Chudzik, the group went on
three outings, floated the Willamette River
in the Springfield/Eugene area and
searched out possible violations of dumping permits issued by the Department of
Environmental Quality and the Army
Corps of Engineers.
The first trip, made in October with Mel
Jackson of the Eugene Parks and Recreation Department and Jennifer Wyman,
OSPIRG staff lawyer, familiarized the
group with the river alld alerted them to
sites worthy of further mvestigation.
The second trip, made with Wyman in
November yielded photographs and water

samples from areas where OSPIRG claimed local companies were dumping wastes
into the river. OSPIRG sent the photos to
the State OSPIRG Board for review, and
the wheels of progress were set in motion.
Lieutenant (J. G.) Russ Lutz of the US
Coast Guard, Port of Portland, and his men
conducted an investigation of the dumping
activities of Myrmo and Sons. Myrmo denied involvement in any illegal activities,
and the case still stands in review by the
Seattle office of the Coast Guard for pollution control.
On the third trip, David Jessup of the
Environmental Agency office in Seattle
came to review the progress of the OSPIRG
investigative team. After having seen the
type of pollution that the group was
searching for, he pledged full support in
the future.
"I think that we've learned quite a bit,"
said Phyflis Lowe, LCC OSPIRG member
and veteran river researcher. "I hope that
we can put it to use in the future."

The student members of OSPIRG being
dispersed throughout the campus. a meeting was not possible for at least a day. but
the local board. according to Van Dyke,
offered to meet with FORE in a couple of
days up in Portland, where FUKE is
located. "They refused the meeting; they
obviously didn't want to meet too badly.·'
OSPIRG is regulated by a state board of
students. each representing an Oregon
college campus where it operates. Last
weekend the state board. along with other
interested students. got together at
Cascade Head for a three-day meeting
(usually state board meetings ar~ only one
day) to discuss the future of OSPIRG.
"The change in the tax status hasn't
gone through yet." says Van Dyke. "The
students haven't decided how they want to
make the change for sure yet ... I know
there are a lot of concerns among students
on the board that we not get too far away
from being a research organization that
does very good factual research. There's a
lot of concern among other students on the
board that we become more relevant in
terms of getting changes made at the
legislative level."

~Qli.il~

Students claim BLM methods endanger timberlands
The Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) is overcutting its western Oregon
timberlands and should immediately reduce the annual allowable cut on these
lands, according to an OSPIRG report
released last week. The 37-page report
also called for four other major changes in
the BLM's administration of its western
Oregon forests.
OSPIRG criticized the BLM's use of the
controversial defoliant, 2-4-d,to control
brush and hardwood infestations and
called for an immediate stop to its use.
Noting that the use of the chemical would
increase the annual cut by only one tenth of
one percent, the OSPIRG report stated that
the "possible indirect costs" to wildlife
and livestock from use of the chemical
could offset the benefits from using it.
The BLMhas sprayed 6,700 acres in 1974
and 8,070 acres in 1973.
The OSPIRG report also urged the BLM
to adopt stricter guidelines on logging
practices which would prevent the increased soil erosion and steam pollution
which could result from the more intensive
logging planned by the BLM. The report
found that BLM timber harvests have been
noted to be the cause of avoidable soil
erosion in Western Oregon.

The report said the BLM's present
annual harvest, set at 1,172 million board
feet in 1971, is based on unsound estimates
of future timber growth from genetically
improved seedlings, reforestation and
brush control.
During the past three years the BLM has
over cut by 289 million board feet as a
result of predictions based on questionable
data, charged OSPIRG.
OSPIRG recomm'e nded an immediate
reductioninthe BLM annual harvest by 56
_
to 74 million board feet.
OSPIRG also called for a compensatory
reduction averaging 4.1 million board feet
annual below this for the next seven years
to offset BLM's previous overcutting.
This would amount to a five to ten per
cent reduction in cutting over the next six
years.

zation with all funds leaving the campus
and coming to this area (OSPIRG's state
office in Portland).''
After receiving FORE's recommendation, the OSBHE established an optional
fee category, with the understanding that
the method of collecting funds for any
group on a campus was up to the institution's head, as indeed was the question of
whether that group could even be on the
campus.
"Portland State is seriously considering
putting them (OSPIRG) on voluntary
status," says Hulley. Oregon State cut
their budget by SO percent last year and
put them on one year's probation.'' Hulley
mentioned that the latter case stemmed
from OSPIRG's alleged refusal to inform
OSU's administration of what OSPIRG
funds were being spent on.
This abdication of responsibility for
OSPIRG on the part of the OSBHE into the
hands of the colleges removed some
previous regulations. One was on litiga-

allowed to change their tax status from that
of a non-profit (research) organization to a
taxable corporation, which would empower
them to lobby. If they make that change,
however, they cut off the source of private
foundation money. They therefore plan on
establishing a "parallel corporation,"
which would be taxed and could lobby, and
maintaining the research group as is.
When Hulley was asked whether this
would affect FORE's position towards
them, he first expressed concern over the
illegality of taking " ... 501-C3 (tax ex- ·
empt) funds collected and used for
research, or gifts in kind and spinning
them off into a 501-C4 (taxable) organization," saying that no mention of any
independent funding for the ''sister''
corporation had been made at the Board
meeting where it was considered. He
conceded, however, that as long as it was
legal, FORE's stand on OSPIRG's operations remained unaltered by the changes . .

Foreign students
learn the
ropes

'lfl Cl C

l-:h ;;..

by Kathy Craft

Considerable challenges confront the
32 foreign students attending LCC this
quarter, according to Irene Parent,
foreign student advisor.
Expenses are high, jobs scarce and
the traditional problems of language and
culture shock are present, she explained.
Parent says the main difficulties are
financial. "The number one problem is
Many of them are living on a
money.
shoestring." When the $540 non-resident
quarterly tuition is combined with living
expenses, "it really costs them close to
$3,000 or $3,500 a year to live,' ' she
points out.
Because they are not US citizens,
foreign students are ineligible for financial aid.
Some students may obtain scholarships from their own governments,
Parent says. For most students, however, the financial burden falls on their
parents, although many must seek summer employment to help finance their
educations.
In the past they have been allowed to
work during the summer if their advisor
agreed, but just three weeks prior to the
beginning of last summer, this rule was
changed and permission had to be obtained
from immigration officials for summer
work as well. "They took this right
away from the advisors because ,of the
Parent.
scarcity of jobs," explains
"The reason given for this is that they
don't want to take jobs away from the
American kids, which is understandable.
But it's really hard on the foreign students. Luckily, all the students I had
who wanted to work were able to."
Another regulation was recently
instituted requiring foreign students
applying for admission to US colleges
to prove they have sufficient funds to
pay for their entire four years of education. Previously they only were asked
to demonstrate ability to pay for one
year, Parent says. She believes such
requirements, which she attributes to
"the tight money situation," are responsible for the decrease in the number of foreigh students attending college
in America.
The second most prevalent problem
confronting the foreign student, in
Parent's opinion, relates to language.
Proof of ability to speak and write
English is required for admission to
LCC; but courses in English as a
Second Language conversation groups
are made available as well. Still students may have problems in classes
because of the language barrier and
_need special tutoring from ipstructors.
Parent is quick to point out such help
"is really appreciated."
The foreign student faces other
scholastic problems as well. They are
unaccustomed to the informal atmosphere · of the American classroom and
often unsure how to react to it at first,
says Parent. "In other countries they
still stand up when the teacher comes
into the room and they don't dare ask
a question," she explains. "They just
aren't used to the give and take found
here."
During the eight years she has served as foreign student advisor, Parent
has developed the foreign student program from "just scheduling them into
classes" into a program including preorientation
information,
admission
classes, providing necessary immigration information, English as a second language courses, conversation
groups and an international club.
Parent believes the LCC foreign
student program has been expanded as
much as possible. "ht this point,"
she says, "I'd just like to make everything we do of quality so that the students can have someone to go to to
help them with difficulties and so they
can get the very best kind of break
at Lane to get a good start."

Powerful Titans run away with four-way meet,
by Kelly Fenley

the L(C ·1 rack team took advantage of
some sunny weather to overwhelmingly
defeat three other track teams at the Mt.
Hood Community College Invitational held
in Portland Saturday afternoon.
The Titans swept the high jump, long
jump, and shot put to score 136 points;
more than Mt. Hood, 89 points, the
Portland Track Club, 12, and Seattle
Central Community College, 11. scored put
together. Every performer for LCC placed
at the meet, which scored five places in
each event.

Larry Goheen improved in the triple
jump from earlier this season with a second
place hop, skip and jump of 43 feet 5
inches. Bill Dietrick claimed a personal
record in the triple jump with his third
Kevin
place, 43 feet 3 inches effort.
Tarpenning pole-vaulted for a first place 13
feet Saturday and also claimed a first place
in the javelin with a toss of 182 feet 5 1/ 4
inches. Tarpenning, however, who was
second place in the national decatholon last
year, has competed better than this
previously.

Coach Al Tarpenning and Rod Cooper

Tarpenning was especially pleased with
LCC's 47-point span over Mt. Hood, since
they are one of the better teams in the
Oregon Community College Athletic Association conference this year. Tarpenning
said after the meet, however, that "Mt.
Hood is a stronger team than they
indicated today."
Kelly Graham high jumped 6 feet IO
inches for first place at the meet, close to
his personal outdoor record of 6 feet 10 ½
inches he set last year. Graham has
jumped 7 feet even earlier in the year at an
indoor meet. Bruce Jones and Bob Moore
both jumped 6 feet 6 inches for second and
third places for the Titans.
In the long jump, Lloyd Hafer and
Vince Woods sailed 22 feet 6 inches each
and together with Larry Goheen's jump of
21 feet 9 inches swept the event for Lane.
The jump for Woods was a personal record
Woods also
for outdoor competition.
claimed a second place in the one
hundred-yard dash with a time of 9.8
seconds and a second in the 220-yard dash·
with a clocking of 21.9 seconds.
The Titans also swept the shot put, with
Bob Savelich heaving the 16-pounder 46
feet 6 inches for first place, and Al Shibley
tossing for 46 feet S 3/4. Al Nordgren,
third place, threw for 45 feet 1 ½ inches.
Tarpenning was happy with the 440yard and Mile relay teams. "I was real
pleased to see our relay teams come up,"
he said, but added that "we can still
improve on our handoffs."
In the distance races, Rod Cooper
especially stood out with a second place in
the mile and a first place in the three mile.
Cooper's time of 4:17 in the mile was a
personal record and he won the three mile
comfortably in 14:45. Jeff Boek and John
Miller placed third and fourth for the
Titans with times of 14:51 and 14:57 in the,
three-mile. Dave Babcock ran for second
place in the 880-yard run with a time of
1:58, followed by team mate Tom
McDonnel ofLCC with a time of 1:59. "I'm
real encouraged about that,'' said Tarpenning.
Tarpenning was pleased also with Gary
Barnes who ran a 49-second 440-yard dash
and then ran another 49-second split in the
mile relay. In the discuss, Al Shibley
received praise for his throw of 153 feet 5
3/4 inches, which was not only a personal
record but a qualifing throw for the
national competition which begins next
month.

There will be a home track meet this
Friday at 3 p. m. for the Lane Invetational
meet. Included will be the OSU JV team,
Mt. Hood Community College and Clark
College.

Titans take doubleheader
by Kelly Fenley

Dan Merrill and Benny Reichenberg
combined for a pitching duo that didn't
give up a single run as the Titan baseball
team dealt Chemeketa Community College
two losses at LCC Saturday.
Reichenberg gave up only three hits in
;even innings as the Titans won the first
game of the double header 7 to 0. Then
Merrill pitched a no-hitter the second game
and LCC won 1 to 0. Coach Dwane Miller
said that Merrill's no-hitter "may have
been the first in the history of LCC."
The wins were the first for Lane this year
but still give the Titans a 2-0 Oregon Community College Athletic Association season
record. They lost three pre-season games
to the OSU JV's and once to the UO JV's.
Miller said that Chemeketa' s pitcher in
the first game "was a little wild," and that
the Titans capitalized on six walks in four
innings to earn the win. However, Miller
said that Chemeketa's second game pitcher "was pretty darn good."
The second game was tied O to O at the
top of the sixth, but pinch-runner Joe
Jaukkuri finally scored when hitter Dave
Gambino smacked a single and the
Chemeketa catcher threw an error at third
base.
"We hit the ball fairly well, and against
some good pitching, too," said Miller. The
Titans had only nine strike-outs in two
games. "That could be one of our strong
points," he said. Miller had hitting praise
especially for Gambino who, Miller said,
"is the team's leading hitter." Gambino
was 4 for 6 in the two games. Miller also
cited Rob Perkins as a leading hitter on the
team.
Before the doubleheader Saturday, Miller had been frustrated with the team's
defensive playing. "We were making so
many errors we were beating ourselves,''
he said of the pre-season schedule. But
against Chemeketa, Miller said the Titans
made only two errors in two games, as
compared to eight errors in just one game
they made against OSU.
"Our problem now is we didn't play
during spring vacation, or prior to that,"
Miller said. ''The other teams are getting
ajumpon us." But at the same time, he is

happy with the talent that has accumulated
so far. Miller said there are 10 sophomores
on the team and '' all of them are capable of
playing ball at a four-year school.
"We've got enough depth," he said.
"We're probably even stacked in too deep
in each position, and that's a first time for
us."

Miller feels the OCCAA crown this year
will be fought for by LCC, Linn-Benton
Community College, and Clackamas Community College. ''It sh<Yuld be a real
scramble to see who gets it," he said.
The Titans will host Linn-Benton in a
game today, if it is not washed out.
