Health Center coming
to Eugene

This past year people In Eugene have been meethiO'.
to plan a health center which would provide
comprehensive, low-cost health care.
The Community Health and Educ~tion Center will be
located. in West Eugene_ and aims to be totally
responsive to that community.
"People need to be In control of_ what happen~ in
their lives. One thing they need 1s health se~vices
which help them maintain this control." Such is the
basic philosophy of the Center as e~pressed by Carol
Dunning, elected as Center coordinator •. Dunning
comes to Eugene from three years 0 ~ work m Ashla nd
as a health a~vocate at _the ~~men s Health Center,
.
and at the Migrant Mobile Clinic.
" Our emphasis is on. local, accessible, personal_1ze~:
low-cost treatment with a focus on prevention,
Dunning says . Programs are planned in all aspects of
traditional medicine, including dentistry and pediatrics, and also in alternative healing such as polarity
therapy and massage. Education in all areas is to be an
integ ral part of the services.
The Center will be open to all, but will be primarily
directed toward the people in the neighborhood in
which it is locat~d. To that end several community
meetings have been held, and people working on the
Center have gone to the Kauffman senior Citizens
Center and to the elderly nutrition projects of the
westside to speak with people there about their health
needs . How different kinds of healing are used in the
Center will be determined by the desires of the people.
The different needs and situations of people will be
very much taken into account:
Operating hours will be such that working people can
use the Center without missing work,
Child care services will be provided,
Home visits will be made by counselors, nurses,
physicians, and others to people who cannot easily
leave home.
"We hope to be a model for decentralized services,
community, and preventive health care. We want to
break down the medical knowledge,'' Dunning says of
the Center. The Westside Center is seen as the first of
many future centers throughout the county, with the
next one to be located in a rural area. They will be
controlled by the people of each neighborhood.
Evaluation of services will be part of each visit, and
people from the community will take part in running the
center.
Personalized care is an important goal. . Each client
will have a counselor-advocate, who will be knowledgeable about the total health condition and needs of
the person. They'll make the necessary appointments,
do education, follow-up, and make home visits. The
emphasis is on the total person in their own context.
Helping people take the control and responsibility for
their own health care will be the major focus of the
Center. Current health practice is crisis orientedpeople go for help when they're sick, rather than

learning how to stay well. This results in high profits
for the medical and drug industries but not in
particularly healthy or informed people. The Center
will have a great variety of classes including such
things as dental hygiene, yoga, pap, cervical and breast
cancer signs, nutrition, coping ski I ls, sexuality,
hypertension, illnesses common to certain ethnic•
groups,, and non-traditional approaches to health.
Health education will be_a_part o_f each !ndividu~I visit.
One-third of the phys1c1ans time will be given tc
education to keep people well and to aid understanding
and early diagnosis of health conditions.
Applications for grants to private foundations have
been submitted, and the Center expects to receive
money by Ju~y 1st. Final organizing and hiring will_be
done over the summer, working towards an opening
date in mid-September.
The next meeting to discuss the Community Health
and Education Center will be on Thursday, May 8th, at

Dunning between 9-12 weekdays at 342-3206.
"It's very important to help people get control of on<~
aspect of their lives - then they start taking it in
others."

'/s this budget believable?'

"Is this budget believable?" asked
Kenneth Parks of Lowell. ''We've got
to take a realistic view of what the
people are likely to approve."
'' I think we have to cut it by at least
20 percent," said Board Member
Catherine Lauris.

The comments came after the
committee had approved sections of
the budget concerning fixed costs .
These included bond retirement, campus construction, and student loans
and grants.
The proposed budget will go before
Lane County voters on June 17. Part of
the proposed budget is a serial levy
which voters ..will-- decide on May 6.
At the suggestion of cutting, Board
Chairman Stephen Reid said that
cutting like this is what has caused the
present need for equipment replacement.
But Budget Committee Chairman
Jerry Brown of Junction City said that
"It's time somebody took a stand not
to increase, but to decrease salaries.
We're pricing ourselves right out of
the market.''
Brown added that his solution to

or salaries.
Review of those topics will start at
the next meeting scheduled for April

Building. The public is invited to
attend.

At the recent Phi Theta Kappa
(PTK) National Convention, LCC was
ranked among the ten outstanding
chapters in the nation and Peggy
Northrup was selected NW regional

The convention held in Philadelphia
April 3-5 was attended by LCC
students Kent Palinuik· (present NW
regional representative), Peggy Northrup, Jeff Arnold and their adviser,
George Alvergue.
The selection of the ten outstanding
chapters was based on local activities,
input to the national society and use of
the annual honors theme.
This year's theme was '' Apostles in

was to delete the $1 million in contingency funds, and that the committee
should "let everyone know, from the
president on down, that there is no

The Committee has not yet dis-

Theodore Kuper, restorator of MonteVirginia
cello, Jefferson's stately
home, visited Eugene in the fall of
1974.
The local chapter held a reception
for Kuper at the Wayne Morse ranch.
At this reception, Kuper met Midge
Morse, widow of Wayne Morse and
became interested in preserving the
Morse ranch.
Northrup was elected by popular
vote of the 535 chapter representatives
at the convention.
The candidates
conducted a political campaign and
made speeches before the 1,200
members.
Northrup will receive an all-expense

-paid trip to the Honors Institute in
Virginia, which is the other national
meeting of PTK. She will also represent PTK and LCCthroughout the
western reg ion.
Palinuik, a chemistry major, said
PTK offers him an opportunity to
share ideas with other students and
has stimulated his interest in politics
an government. It has also given him
an incentive to study and get good
grades.
"It brings together an intellectual
and social feeling in the community.
Learning doesn't just come from books
... meeting famous people on an informal, one-to-one basis is real education," Palinuik concluded.

by Cyndi Hill
What happened to the pool tables?
Last week, Mark Rocchio, director of
the campus Security Department
drafted a memorandum recommending the removal of the pool tables and
other gaming devices from the cafeteria because of an increase in behavioral problems in that area.
In his memorandum, Rocchio stated
that the Security Department, workstudy students and other students and
staff have observed and reported the
following criminal activities in the
area:
1. Females are verbally abused and
occasionally assaulted
2. Non-users of the pool tables who
are in or near the area of the snack bar
complain that excessive profanity is
being used.
3. Drug sales have increased and
are being much more apparent.
4. The drinking of alcoholic bever- ,
ages has been observed much more
frequently in the area.
5. There has been an increase in
young people, particularly young girls
-- ages 14 through 18, hanging around
the area, and an increase of nonstudents in this area during regular
public school hours.
6. Gambling and arguments relating to the above issues, and separate
unto themselves, have been reported
on the increase.
So, the pool tables were closed
down.
According to Jay Jones, director of
student activities, the closure of the
pool tables is not permanent, but he
said they will not be re-opened until
the administration can find a suitable
place for them.

Jones' complained that the area was
"infested" with non-students and
pimps--that prostitutes and their
pimps were working out of vans in or
near the parking lots above LCC. He
said that although Self Help Oriented
People (SHOP) have been watching
over the recreation area, ''they have·
neither the time nor the authority to
cope with these problems.''
Both Rocchio and Jones admitted
that the closure of the pool tables
would not eliminate these problel'!ls
completely but they believe that by
"cleaning out" this area they are not
leaving LCC open for the alleged
problems.

The tiny terror of the turf: The shrew
This little mammal has a vicious reputation-and it's earned it well
by Ken Durbin
Oregon Wildlife Commission
In the overlooked world around our
feet lives an animal that many stu-.
dents of nature consider to be the
fiercest predator on earth. Driven by
an insatiable appetite, this assassin
seldom pauses in its frantic drive for
food.
According to one observer, it can
consume the equivalent of its own
body weight every three hours. Another says it must eat at least its own
weight every 24 hours just to keep

equally at home on land or in the

water.

The shrew is hampered as a killer by
its poor eyesight but more than compensates for this with excellent hearing and sense of smell.

There are more than 200 known
species of shrews in the world and
more than a dozen forms have been
recognized in Oregon. At least one
species is found in almost every part of
the state. Shrews are found from the
ocean beaches to the high mountains.
You'll find them in grassy meadows,

The shrew is a fascinating little
creature with some very remarkable
attributes. On rare occasion it is seen
scuttling through the grass and leaf
mold but is usually taken for a mouse.
The mistake is a natural one because a
shrew at a glance bears a strong resemblance to a mouse and a glance is
usually all you get. But if you see "a
miniature mouse whittled to a point,"
to quote nature writer John Madson,
and hear a high pitched twitter, you're
•
probably looking at a shrew.
Actually, shrews are not related to
mice at all. They are in the order
lnsectivora--the insect eating mamals--and are closely related to the mole
which ruins your lawn.

Even other shrews are not immune
to ravenous attack. The naturalist Dr.
C. Hart Merriam once placed three
shrews under a glass tumbler. "Almost immediately they commenced
fighting and in a few minutes one was
slaughtered and eaten by the other
two. One of these th.en killed and ate
its only surviving companion." Having
eaten two companions of its own size
within eight hours, Dr. Merriam noted
"its abdomen was much distended."

One attribute shared by few other
mammals is a venomous bite. The
salivary glands of the shrew produce a

found here in Oregon, it is developed
to a lesser extent and apparently has
only a crippling effect.
It is said that the salivary glands of
one short-tailed shrew contain enough
venom to kill 200 mice. If it had the
right kind of detition for injection of its
deadly saliva, it could even pose a
threat to man, but the tiny chestnutstained teeth were designed for smaller prey and small rodents are about

high. The masked shrew is reported to
breathe 850 times a minute and has a
pulse rate of 800. All this accounts for
its voracious appetite and also contributes to a short lifespan. A shrew is
high-strung and nervous. One caught
in a livetrap will often be found dead ,
either from shock, starvation, or
exposure.
With its smal I size and the necessity
to be constantly on the go for a meal ,
one might think the shrew would fall
heavy prey in return to larger predators . It does , but it has a few more
card tricks to improve the odds.
One is a thick, tough skin which is
virtually mouse-proof, a valuable aid
when you consider that shrews eat
mice and mice are about four times
bigger than shrews.
Another defense is that a shrew
smells and tastes bad. Musk glands,
one on each flank, secrete a strongsmell ing musk which many predators
find extremely distasteful. Most predators won't eat a shrew unless driven
by extreme hunger. A house cat, for
instance, will sometimes kill and play
with a shrew but seldom eats one. A
,,otable exception to this is the owl.
Remains of shrews frequently are
found in owl pellets.
In at least one culture the shrew has
been considered a danger to man. The
Eskimos recognized the shrew and
feared him as a demon. They believed
the shrew would attack an intruder,
:>Urrow in, and kill him by entering the
1eart.

An interesting side-note is that
several centuries ago people knew the
shrew's bite was poisonous. Later as
people became "better educated and
more advanced," this became regarded as an old wive's tale. It wasn't
until more recently we discovered our
forebears weren't so stupid after all.

Next time you see a "mouse," take
closer look. If it looks back, it's

Greek house asks
g~y trio lo leave
(NOCR)--An uncomfortable mood developed around the Theta Chi fraternity house at
Lehigh University (Bethlehem, Pa.) after
three of the brethern came out of the closet
and became active in gay causes on
campus.
"We've always been pretty openminded and ,the homosexuality didn't
bother us. Most of the brothers were
sympathetic--sympathetic to their plight,
that is, not their sexual preferebce," says
Chapter President Larry Howe. "But they
were connecting the house with their cause
and that didn't go over too well with some
people."
One group it didn't go over too well with
was the chapter alumni association. When
the alumni got wind of the situation they
hastily called an executive committee and
voted to ask the three members to move
out. Reluctantly but voluntari1y the gay trio
left.
','We were in a touchy position," says
Howe. "We didn't want to be put in a
bigoted light but, then again, we are a
fraternity and to propagate ourselves we
· have to have a good rush program. With
the situation as it was, the rumors around
campus and all, we could see that our
pledge class would be very small. The1/
(the gays) had a lot of pressure on them
and they knew we did too, so they left. One
of them still comes over for dinner pretty
regularly but after going through a
situation like this, it's pretty hard not to
have some hard feelings . But I think we've
come through this pretty well, all and all.''

OSPIRG report calls
for market unit-pricing
The Oregon Student :public Interest
Researc)J Group (OSPIRG) today released a
report calling for mandatory unit pricing in
Oregon supermarkets. '
The report says that unit pricing would
help consumers find price disparities. The
report cited instances where small packages cost ''more than twice as much per
unit" than larger packages of the same
_commodity.
The surveyors also found that five per
cent of the time larger items cost more per
unit than smaller sizes of the same
product.
A bill requiring unit pricing in large
chain stores, H.B. 2086; has been introduced in the Oregon Legislature.
LCC students have not supported Oregon Student Public Interest Research
Group (OSPIRG) in the style the organization has hoped for this year.
Steve Pruitt, OSPIRG student staff
member, indicated that OSPIRG has collected less than one-third of its projected
financial goal so far this year.
The amount of money each school tries
to collect is based on the number of fulltime-equivalent (FTE) students attending.
This worked out to be $3,000 for LCC for
the 1974-75 school year, of which only $800
has been collected so far.
The local organization hopes that each
student will contribute one dollar at registration. Students are the only source of
financial support for the organization,
which includes full-time staff lawyers and
scientists who work on consumer and environmental research.

The most serious vandalism so far this
year has been the writing on the walls
of the bathrooms, better known as graffiti. While this seems harmless, Van

that it costs over $600 a month to repair

Women who leave their purses unattended in the cafeteria are the most
common victims of theft. Rocchio says
the greater percentage of $4,000 lost:

from the General Fund and could otherwise be used to fund various student

"I think that the major prob- ·
blems facing LCC are a lack of
access to college programs and

the students and the community,

This statement was made by
Jack Hart in a recent interview

Hart, 32, went on to say that
LCC is "losing humanity rapidly'' and that he hopes that the
''former friendly community

"Let's talk about lack of access. I
would first like to prioritize
spending to provide more direct
services to students. I would also
like to place administrative services on a level of secondary
importance .
'' And I think that in keeping with
LCC's original order of priorities
in serving the community, there
should be more night classes
made available."
Hart also said that LCC should
try to serve the whole county,
and he would be in favor of
extending the Outreach Program
to make more programs available
to more people in i:he district.

favor of a ''Credit-by -Experience" program in which achievement tests and challenges of
courses by students would •be

omitted from the evening class
schedule--the only one he can

that he should ''do something

"This (night classes) is where
they seem to cut the first ... I
can't get my degree because
some classes I need aren't even
offered. I'm planning on going
to the University next year ... I
know some people trying to get a
business degree, and some of
their essential courses were cut
this term."
Underwood feels that LCC has
strayed from its function as a
vocational school with an excessive attempt to offer a wide
variety of what he labels as
economically unfeasible classes
taught by part-time instructors~bird-watching, skiing, and golf-to the detriment of those essential to a two-year vocational
program.

that we face. I would propose a
reevaluation of administrative
structure to reduce needless
administrative cost and to do
away with duplication of service.
At present the function of some
of the administrators is rather
hazy--that should be cleared up.
'' I would also like to establish a
formal system of community
feedback so that the college can
be apprised of the educational
needs of the community."
Hart feels that education
should spring from the community that it serves, and that the
old paternal attitudes of dictating
programs to the public, as is
done in universities, should be
discontinued.
"I think that LCC should end
investment in programs that are
geared to build the college's
reputation on a regional and
national level at the expense of
local service. Prestige will come

the classes offered for a transfer
course, like Math and English,
and the sciences--you need in
your two-year programs too, so it
should overlap there.'' ·• Out-of-district students are another source of problems, as
Underwood sees it.
"As a community college I think
LCC should serve the community
first," he emphasizes. "I know
that there are out-of-district students and even out-of-country
students that go here, and I'm
definitely against that.
I feel

would actively seek to remove
the burden of coilege support
from the local taxpayers by a

Hart said that a '' Prioritization

community."
Why run for the Board?

the problems facing -our budget
in the nost practical way.
, He doesn't, however, feel that
any one area should take the
brunt of a cut. "The student
services (the TORCH, legal aid,
health services) are good, and
shouldn't be threatened.
If
necessary, maybe the students
could help support them a little
more with their fees. But if there
are going to be cuts, everyone
should take them equally."
Underwood sees the required
number of hours for a full-timeequivalent student too high at 15,
and thinks, for LCC, they should
be lowered to 12. This would
also bring in more state funds.
Having run for a position on
the Board of the Public Utilities
District (which was, after the
Board was elected, never
formed), he makes an observation on running for a public
office: ''You learn a lot of things
in a hurry. Sometimes political
competitiveness gets nasty. You
have to learn how to deal with
that.''

LCC Board of Education candidate-at-large Ruth Watters sat

students could take some of their
courses at the beauty colleges.
Watters wants to bring the

she describes herself as a "service-oriented business woman."
Watters and her husband own

and another in Eugene, and also
operate three beauty salons.
Watters does al I the administrative work for the colleges.
Watters supports all the programs at LCC but says if financial problems necessitated curtailments, "I would have to think
first about the student who is
training to be employed."
But Watters suggests that
special programs might be funded by businesses sending employees back to LCC for further
training. Those businesses could
even pay enough to make money
for the school.
When asked if she is familiar
with state reimbursement procedures for colleoe and vocation-

al programs, Watters hesitated:
"Not completely familiar. No."
Considering increasing tuition
as a way of meeting rising
college costs, Watters mused
that ''Costs increase. The money

Watters thinks student services and job placement should
be continued but might be
limited to needy students. "It
possibly would be necessary for
some students to seek their aid
other places. Students needing it
the most should be the students

Concerning the possibility of
limiting enrollment as a normal

Wright also believes the up and
coming serial levy has " no
chance" of being passed by
county voters. He adds an almost
absolute, '' No way.''
Wright would also like to see
the tuition at LCC reduced or
abolished completely. He explains that he can't see why the
Russians pay their students to go
to school while the United States
still charges for the right to an

He has lived in Oregon for the

"What can you do?" demanded the student, frustrated. "Can
you change it? I've been on committees here for two years, and
our suggestions never make it

can you change that?"
Larry Perry, a candidate run-.

Earlier i~ his campaign speech
Perry stated that a basic problem.

made.
"Can I change it?" he an-·
swered. "No. But the process
can be changed. That's where
the problem is.''
He said later ''What we need
to do is make advisory commit-

need more of a cross-section of
interest, and power should be
delineated when the committees
are formed. People will respect

Gary Hughes, candidate for
the LCC Board of Education,
wants to make sure "education is
available to everyone who wants
it."
Hughes, chief of the fire
Department in Cottage Grove,
feels it is important for the Board
to be diversified. "Too many
people from the same walk of life
make for tunnel vis1on," he said
in an interview last week.
In order to keep LCC's educational advantages as open as
possible, he hopes to expand
grants and scholarships offered
to students.
Hughes is opposed to raising
tuition for in-district residents.
He believes, however, that the
. tuition charged out-of-district
and out-of-state residents must

be increased. And, although he
supports a continuation of the
open enrollment policy for residents of the LCC district, he
thinks the enrollment for out-ofdistrict students must be limited.
"I think we're just going to have
to put a limit on the • out-ofdistrict people," he said. "I hate
to put a limit on anyon:e, but with
financial conditions the way they
are, I'm afraid it's necessary."
Hughes said he -considered
''.things that the University
doesn't offer" most important
for LCC to provide for the
community. He wants LCC to
provide education for those who
must work during the day and
can only attend school at night.
He was unhappy about the
cutback in the Outreach pro-

''The LCC staff ought to get
back to doing what they were
hired for and be held accountable
for it--people are scared to death
of accountability," says William
(Bill) Watkins, candidate for the
At-Large Position on the LCC
Board.
Watkins, who was LCC business manager from 1969 to 1973,
emphasizes that, if elected, he is
"not going to be any group's
advocate. ''The first priority is
the community, then the student.''
Bill Watkins is presently working as a systems analyst in
Corvallis.
He has a tough
talking , no nonsense approach to
the issues at LCC, and his strong
feelings sometimes erupt in
some colorful expletives.
"Lane is more important than
the people who are there--the

people
who
started it--their
heads were on so straight," he
mused, fondly reminiscing about
the LCC he first encountered and
hopes to return to.
Suggesting that the administrative concerns at LCC have lost
sight of the original purpose of
the college, Watkins is running
for the Board because he feels he
can help LCC get back to the
original concept that prompted
him to take a $6,000 drop in pay
to come to work for LCC in 1969.
He recounted his attempts to
change LCC's financial directions from within but in "no
way'' could this be done because
of conflicts of responsibility and
committee decision-making.
"If a committee makes a good
decision, fine, but if they mess
up, who do you hold responsible?' ' Watkins asks, shaking his

Ev.en as an alternate for raising the funds needed to operate
the college , Perry says "the last
thing I'd like to turn to is an
increase in tuition."
Perry believes that it . is the
burden of the State to maintain
the operation of the community
colleges.
It is here that the
essential funds must come from.
"You have to depend on State
support," he says. " And they
have the responsibility because
of the State Constitution."
Although he believes it is the

Steve Woodard, a forester for
the Oregon State Exter:tsion
Service is seeking an LCC Board
At-Large seat. He said that he is
running so that he can help keep
the school "running smoothly."
Woodard has been a classroom
teacher and served as a Forestery Adviser at LCC. He feels
that these experiences, and
being an Oregon State Extension
Agent, will help him be a good
Board member .
Woodard is ''not apologetic
about turning away out-of-district students" from LCC. He
says that if you have to limit the

State's duty to keep the community colleges above water,
Perry feels that LCC should
strive only to meet the demands
of the county.
"I'm a traditionalist," he admits. "Oregon 's community colleges were never meant to be
state colleges." He says there
are many potential employers in
the community for students with
vocational skills, and he cited
para-medical, auto mechanics,
and mass communication as examples. For this reason, Perry

"I wouldn't
ask taxpayers to climb out on a

not reside and plan to stay in
Lane County.
He stated that he "wouldn't
artificially limit trained workers
in order td keep salaries high,''
but he feels that there are ways
of making "long-range projections based on population" that
would enable LCC to limit enrollment, if necessary, in programs
with limited equipment.

persons 50 years of age and over
who are "footing the bill" for

Hughes would prefer to see
LCC emphasize more heavily its
vocational programs such as
mursing, mechanics, food technology, and welding. "From the
figures the Administration provided me with, I understand that
of those enrolled at LCC, 60 per
cent are in college transfer
programs,and 40 per cent in
vocational programs.
I would
like to see that figure reversed,
and have the majority of students
enrolled in the vocational programs.''
Hughes said he has "no boAes
to pick" with anyone at LCC, but
feels a representative from s_o uth

head in frustration.
Watkins is against tuition increases:
'' If this keeps up

. faculty: ''The more people you
shut out, the more income you
lose.''
But he feels that the
out-of-district students should
pay their full load .
The -notion that LCC is duplicating what the University of
Oregon offers "is pure horseshit," according to Watkins.
"LCC is educating people that
the University wouldn't even
look at,'' especially those that
have trouble adjusting to college
work or have weak backgrounds
in communication skills.''
Watkins believes that the Administration is arrogant to continually ask for salary raises in a
declining economy.

does not think that "tuition is the
place to pick up money." He
said that "a slight increase in

"with inflation, tuition is bound
to go up."
Out of the $9 million operation
budget, $7 million is payroll, yet
Pitney is not in favor of cutting

way of stopping retrenchment
(the cutting back on faculty and

a great many · people who disagree with these programs do not
know that they (the transfer
courses) have to be available for
the people in vocational classes.
Actually these programs are not
the subjects that are costing us;''
but rather the majority of the
operating budget is used for the
equipment in the vocational
classes.
Pitney, who has been attending LCC budget meetings, says
that one way of stretching the tax
dollar "is by letting people enter
the vocational areas mid-term ..
so if one student drops, another
_
can take his place. ' '
Always involved .in community
affairs, he is currently on the
boards of directors of the Federal
Land Bank Association, Eugena
Farmers Creamery, and Junction

City Water Control District.
Born and raised on a 300 acre
dairy farm in Junction City, he
says that he '' has no axe to
grind, is not out to get anyone,
and is not protesting anything. "
He basically likes the system at
LCC and is definitely for vocational education.
Pitney also said that "he does
not have a conflict of interest
since he is not a student or a
teacher.''
The other two candidates are
Richard Romanek, an LCC faculty member, and Judith Weller,
an LCC student.
But Pitney says that his biggest problem in running for the
Zone Two position is that he.
'' will get little support from the
faculty or students.''

and the $40-$50 a year to Lane
Community College is one place,
to cut.''
Romanek's only solution is to
find some other way to fund the
college. For this reason he favors
an increase in tuition.
He is quick to state, however,
"We must be very, very careful
not to hurt those students who
could not afford a hike in
tuition."
Students now attending LCC
pay about one-fifth of their total
educational costs. Romanek
feels that students should pay
about one-third their costs--an
increase such as this would put
tuition costs at "about $140 a
•
term," he calculates.
Romanek is not cold-blooded
on the idea of a raise in tuition.
Re feels that the school should
design a m~thod of identifying

those students unable to pay and
then '' . . . make allowances to
keep them in school, so they then
can become contributing members of the community."
He suggested divising a system of deferred payments, making payments due after graduation. "The expense of such a
program would initially be high.
Once the student left the school
the money would come back in
the form of taxes the student
would pay once he started working."
'' An increased awareness of
what is available to students
through the Financial Aid Office
would help tremendously.' '
As a taxpayer, staff member
and believer in the school,
Richard Romanek feels he would
increase the quality of LCC's
Board of Education.

Malnutrition is the biggest

In many parts of Africa
almost every child under five suffers
from some protein malnutrition. In

We are one of a small number of nations- favored with an advanced technologywhose children are the world's most fom.mate. They will have longer and healthier lives
than people in developing countries.
Harvard nutritionist, Dr. Jean Mayer, says, ''We are among the world's one
billion richer people who use almost as much cereal to fatten the livestock they eat-as the
two billion people in the poor countries eat directly as food. Twenty years ago the average
American ate 50 pounds of beef annually; this year he will eat 120 pounds. There's every
good reason from the point of view of health why·we should cut down on consumption of
animal products. And we would at the same time free enormous amounts of grain for famine
relief elsewhere."
.TO HELP MEET THE SPECIAL EMERGENCY NEEDS, UNICEF MUST
FIND AN ADOITIONAL $80 MILLION IN THE NEXT 12 TO15 MONTHS.
UNICEF, with long experience in helping children in emergencies, is taking

immediate action, alerting governments and agencies worldwide about the critical need for
action. However, no government or government-agency can act as swiftly as an individual
can act. Individual contributions, no matter how small, are the children's main hope for
survival at this moment in time.
, A contnbution of even $1.00, the average cost of a hamburger, french fries and a
soda, can buy a year's supply of multi-vitamins for a child in a crisis country. $15 can bring

APRIL •

22, 1975~

In an age of apathy toward the governing systems of different communities,
mistrust of government, and dissatisfaction with government, it is appalling
to see this kind of non-commitment on the part of citizens.
On April 14, there was a three-hour session in the Board Room of the
Administration Building, in which prospective candidates to the LCC Board of
Education met in open forum. At this meeting there were approximately 20 to
30 persons present.
On April 11, there was a meeting, also in the Board Room, in which the
Goldmark Rapid Transmission and Storage System was discussed. There was
approximately a dozen people present.
During the April 11 meeting there were two staff members present and two
members from the ASLCC. At the second meeting, there were approximately
six staff members, the same number of student government representatives,
and members of Pete Peterson's Newswriting II class.
With a simple subtraction process, one can see that aside from
special-interest groups, very few of the general populace attended.
We all have probably felt, at one time or another , the sickening effect at
being placed in the hands of the "politicians" and programs over which we
have no control. And yet, we have the means available to do something about
it.
The aforementioned examples are evidence of the fact that the general
populace unwilling to take hold of their responsibilities and do something to
change the system.
As a Student senator-at-Large, I have taken the initiative to try to· change
the "system for the better. And yet, I have heard very little positive
''feed-back'' from students.
Most students and faculty members have expressed a desire not to have the
Goldmark System implemented at this time. But, only a small few were at the
April 11 meeting, thus showing a lack of interest. Board .members, or any
decision-making body, will not be as conscientious if there is no one to keep
them "honest".
The dissatisfaction that has been expressed over the Board and
administration policies has been intense and yet the general populaceof the
school has failed to show even an interest as to the candidates that are
running for Board positions.
• ..
There is a solution :
All the offices in the student government are up-for-grabs 1n the
up-coming May 6 election. If you'd like to do something about student
government, then go to the ASLCC secretary's office and fill out an
application. Get involved.
Read the TORCH and find out who the candidates for the Board are and
what they stand for.
Call the special TORCH extention (747-4501, ext.234) and ask questions
about the up-coming elections; they'll do all the research for you and report
the answers.
Attend the special student Awareness Fair to be held in the Center
Building on April 22, and become informed on the problems, issues, and
possible solutions. The Fair is bringing the issues to you, the student and
taxpayer; all you have to do is be there, listen and ask questions.
And finally, get out there and vote.

ISRAEL: HISTORY 'S TIMEPIECE. In an effort to satisfy
man ' s age-old curiosity about the future, modern-day
prophets and astrologers are
enjoying the greatest revival
. since the ancient days of
Babylon. In the midst of the
many prophetic voices clamoring to be heard, there are
authentic voices which have
been overlooked by modern,
man ... . the
sophisticated
voices of the ancient seers of
Israel , the Hebrew prophets.
Three millenniums of history
are strewn with evidence of
their prophetic marsmanship
and to ignore their incredible
predictions of man's destiny
and the events which are
soon to effect this planet will
be perhaps the greatest folly
of this generation. A tape by

Coach Al Tarpenning. The meet was a Larry Goheen in the triple jump, John
non-scoring one, but Tarpenning said Miller in a personal record three mile,
"if you added up all of the scoring we
would have won."
Tarpenning was especially pleased
with the meet because there were
several personal records set, and, he
said, most of the competitors are
starting to perform more consistently.
"If the weather will just be cooperative, our good efforts will start coming
out now,'' he said.
The weight men were strong again
this week with Al Shibley still in the
limelight for the shot and discus.
Shibley tied his personal record in the
shot with a first place throw of 48 feet 8
inches and claimed a new personal
record in the discus with a second
place toss of 154 feet 2 1 / 2 inches .
Tarpenning was espectally happy
with some of the distance races. He

·' It had to have been one at my worst
days since I've been coaching," said
Dwane Miller, sitting in his office and
recalling an afternoon with Clackamas
Community College that soured a
week of basebal I that was perhaps the
worst for LCC this year. Even two
wins over Blue Mountain here Saturday wasn't much of a consolation.
"Our biggest problem at this point is
our hitting," Miller said. "Before, we
were getting six or seven good hits a
game, but now we're only getting two, '
or three, or sometimes even one."
Clackamas clobbered the Titans
with 18 runs for the afternoon compared to just one for Lane. Randy
Downing claimed the single pointwhen he belted a home-run at the start
of the second game. But Clackamas,
meanwhile, was hitting everything
that Ben Reichenberg and Dan Merrill
were throwing to them and won the
first game 9 to O and claimed the
second, 9 to 1.
But Miller said there was no
home-run fence at Clackamas, and
that ''a ball that should have been a
double was a home-run on their field.
Of course we would have had the same
advanta_ge, but we couldn't hit the
ball."
The Titans bounced back with
double-header wins over Blue Mountain Saturday, but even that wasn't
very pretty .
Lane managed only four hits for the
afternoon and two runs to edge the
Mountaineers 1 to O both games, but
the runs were made by Blue Mountain
errors. "They threw the ball away,"
Miller said, "and gave us the win.
Then they did the same thing in the
second game. We made the defensive
play when we had to make it; when

Dave Gambino for his pitching performance in the second game.
Miller said, also, that the hitting in

·sy now you're probably
aware that Roots are not
like other kinds of footwear.
The heel is lower to give
you the natural kind of
walk you'd get by going
'barefoot in sand. The arch
is supported, so if you
spend much time on your
feet you'll now spend it in
much greater comfort. The
rocker sole helps spring
you off on each footstep,.
so walking becomes a little

less work than it ever was
before.
But a big part of Roots'
success lies in not how

NATIJRAL FOOTWEAR··

they' re made, but how
well. Only the finest grade
Canadian hides are
selected. These are handcrafted into Roots, simply
because, for much of our
production, the most
efficient machine is still the
human hand.
This is why, of all the
reasons we could give you
for trying Roots, none
would fit quite so well as th,
shoe itself.
