The time has come for all of us to make a choice
on the candidates in the upcoming election for the
Board of Education.
And, as always, my own choice is labored and
thought out. What was different for me this time,
though was that the decision caused no pain. I did
·not have to worry; I found real choices without
compromise.
Of the 10 candidates running for the At-Large
seat, Jack Hart stands out as the best choice.
Having been a student at LCC between 1968 and
1973, he knows more of the school's operation than
anyone else I have met. And in the process of
earning a degree at the U of O in Community Service
and Public Affairs (which he will receive this spring)
he has demonstrated to me a clear understanding of
the interaction between the various elements of the
community. He seeks no glory, and aspires to no
other office. He will work for us.
And of the three candidates running for the Zone
Two seat, Judy Weller is the best choice. She has
demonstrated a sincerity and drive sorely lacking in

promises to drop some of those activities and to
dedicate herself to office if elected, so her energy
would be a welcome addition to the Board. She will
work for us.

McLain appointed TORCH editor for 75-76
Hopes for more depth, enjoyability

photo by Bob Norris
by Rick Bella

''The role of any newspaper is to
act as a vehicle for the intellectual
growth and hightened awareness of
it's readers."
This statement was made by Mike

McLain as he was chosen by the Media
Commission to serve as editor of the
TORCH during the 1975-76 school
year. The Media Commission is the
group responsible for, student publications at LCC.
•
Mclain was the only applicant, and
was subjected to a thorough grilling by

Commission members.
"I hope to see the paper expand in
terms of enjoyability," says Mclain,
"as well as comprehensibility. And I
hope to be able to increase the depth of
reporting . "
Mclain, 23, is a native of Albany,
Oregon. He has attended LCC since
Fall 1974, and hopes to go to the U of 0
after completing his stint at Lane. A
political science major, McLain aspires to a career in journalism.
He says that his understanding of
politics has given him a better grasp of
the workings of the college--and particularly of a newspaper.
"Business helps, too," he adds.
"I've run my own business and know
what sort of demands that situation
can make on you.''
Mclain started as a general assignment reporter last fall, and was
appointed associate editor in January.
He is not currently enrolled, as he is
trying to make "enough money this
summer so that I don't wind up broke
somewhere midstream."
Mclain pledged to unite the best of
various departments in the school to
produce the best paper possible.
"A good paper," says Mclain,
"needs artists, photographers, and
people skilled in drafting, printing,

But during the course of the review
session, the Committee did make the
following recommendations:
•It cut $4,500 from the Board of
Education budget, as, according to
President Schafer, ''some one-timeonly costs were inadvertently carried
over from last year." It approved
nearly $36,000 for Board operation.
• It tabled action on Budget Schedule IV, the portion of the budget
dealing with Enterprise Accounts-those accounts drawn up to monitor
the activities of those operations which
generate income, i.e., the bookstore,

Yale genetics debate
may

be disrupted

(NOCR)--Yale U. will get its first
real test this month bf a new regulation
which calls for the suspension of students who disrupt campus speakers.
On April 17, William B. Shockley, the
Stanford professor whose views on
genetics and intelligence are the subjects of much controversy, is sched- ,
uled to speak there.
Shockley will debate William Rusher, publisher of the National Review,
on whether a state should , employ
sterilization measures on "genetically
inferior" members of society.
Shockley and Rusher were prevented from debating there last April by
demonstrating students. Other Shockley appearances have been cancelled
or disrupted because of opposition to
what many consider to be racist
theories expounded by the professor.
Shockley has been quoted as saying
that the "obvious failure of academic
freedom at my appearances on many
campuses has been self-correcting."
He contends that ''society has a moral
obligation to diagnose the American
Negro tragedy of I.Q. deficits." •

"I think that there has been some
confusion over the role of the Budget
Committee," said Assistant to the
President Bert Dotson. ''The process
has three parts. First, to approve the
budget document designed by the
Dean of Business Operations. Second,
the Board will adopt the Budget Committee's recommendations. And third,
the Board will appropriate the funds in
the adopted budget."
But even with clarification of the
process and the Committee's role in
the process, Committee Member Kenneth Parks of Lowell expressed lack of
familiarity with day-to-day costs. "This
is not my game. I'd rather see us come
to a decision on what support level we

and sales. Most people think that a
paper is made by only writers. I hope
to show that to be a misconception."
And lining up for next year,
McLain says '' I hope that we have as
many people returning from our·
present crew as possible. We've got a
great crew this year and the carryover
would lend continuity to our operation."
''We will maintain the same editorial policy as this year," he adds,
'' But I would like to exercise it a little
more fully than Rick (Bella) has."
Bella has not yet written an editorial.
''Office doors will remain open to
anyone who wants to talk to us, and I
guess," says McLain in closing, "all I
can say is wait 'til next year."

Monty King

by Gerry Dennis

In case you are wondering why tho
Student Senate is running more
smoothly, the answer could be the recent appointments of Marti Geer as
Publicity Director and of Monty King
as First Vice President.
Geer and King were ratified by the
Senate on March 10. Although the
current Senate only operates three
more months, both positions were
filled because they are necessary in
the running of the upcoming elections
(May 7-8).

Gee'r started in LCC last fall after a
15-year absence from school. She said
that she decided to take the position of
'publicity director, vacated by Robin
Tappan, because she "wanted to get
involved in the student government
and see that the ASLCC elections are
publicized.''
Presently taking secretarial and
general studies, Geer is also the
mother of three children. She decided
to make time for the position because
she would like to "inform the students
about what is going on." Geer also
said that she "didn't think that the job
was being done previously'' and that is
why she decided to take it.
Geer, who is running for the
publicity director position next year,
hopes to put together a handbook to
inform new and old students of LCC
services.
King is now sitting at the vice presidents desk which was previously
occupied by John Brenard. King saidl
that one of the reasons that he was
approached for the job is that he '' is
not going to be here next year;
therefore I have no further political
motivations (at LCC).'' The First Vice
President is chairman of the board of
tellers. "In effect I run the elections,"
said King, a community service and
public affairs major.
King:. wh.o was a Student Senator

Marti Geer

from the Mass Communication Department, decided to take this position
because he is '' interested that the job
be done right and I feel that I can do
it." He plans to be at the UO next year
and does not intend to go into the
student government there. He says
that his experience in LCC Student
Government has given him a "broader
knowledge about how to work with
people.''
King also said that working in the
Senate is an educational experience in
itself, and added that '' So far everything has gone smoothly.''

Western educators exa11ine proble11s of wo11en students
by Kathy Craft.

Over seventy community college
educators gathered at LCC April 17
and 18 to attend "Let's Put Woman in
Her Place,'' a conference aimed at
helping faculty and administrators
determine and meet the needs of
women at community colleges.
Participants at the conference, who
come from eight Oregon community
icolleges, plus community colleges in
:Washington, California, Arizona and
Idaho, focused their attentions on a
variety of problems confronting women students and attempting to
develop methods to solve them. Representatives from Eugene and Springfield school districts also attended.
According to Anne Stewart, LCC
public relations assistant and one of
those involved in planning the project,
the purpose of the conference was to
provide insight into ''a broad range of
p~oblems that affect women students,

Quorum ·problems , once again
hamper Lane student government
by Mike Heffley .

Several burning issues--emergency
money for KLCC, the student body's
access to money appropriated to the
Special Programs and Activities Fund
(SPAF)--went unattended at the last
scheduled Student Senate meeting,
due to lack of a quorum.
When ASLCC President Sallie
Torres moved to the matters which
required no action, however, something quite appropos to the case of the
missing quorum came to the floor.
The LCC chapter of Phi Theta
Kappa, a national honor society for
community college students, gave a
report to the Senate on how it spent
$250 allotted the chapterlast monthfhe
funds were used for a trip to the
society's national convention. Peggy
Northrup, Northwest regional representative, told senate members of the
educational experience of interacting
with a cross-section of student bodies
throughout the nation.
"Mainly it made me appreciate
Lane,'' testified former Northwest
regional r~pres~ntative ~ent Palinuik,

"especially after talking to some
students from Texas."
' Of most interest to Torres was
Northrup's offer to carry questions
from the Senate to a national study
being conducted by Phi Theta Kappa
on student interests, attitudes, and
values. Northrup suggested that perhaps the Senate would wish to submit
some questions relating to student interest in student government, on the
national level, in an attempt to better
understand the problem on the local
level.
"I don't think we'd be interested in
it as a body," Torres stated, "but
CCOSAC (Community Colleges of
Oregon Student's Association and
Commissions) will be very interested
in participating." CCOSAC is an
organization Torres has worked with
closely and sees as a valuable contact
between the student body and possible
sources of funding.
The next meeting is scheduled for
Thursday, May 1, at 3 p.m. in the
Board Room of the Administration
Building. The public is invited to
attend.

Editor 's note: Two weeks ago, we of the LCC community were beset by a
. double tragedy--the deaths of two of our students.
We share in the gri ef felt by their families and friends and wish to convey
our condolences.
We wish to publish these two eulogies written by those who knew them.

because of who he was, but what he was .
As all of us know by now, Roy was killed in the line of duty. Much has been
written about that, but now we will pause to ·honor Roy Dirks the person.
At 38 yea, sold, Roy still knew you were ,never too old learn from school, from
other people and experiences. He dreamed of eventually transferring to the U of
·O, continuing his education and becoming an attorney.
Roy loved nature. Some of his happiest moments were spent fishing off the
Oregon coast. With him often were his children. Above all elsef Roy was a
father and his four children meant more to him than anything in the world.
Roy dirks disliked several things. He was biased to the point of prejudice
against groups of people attacking a single person or minority because of a
surface trait. Often he was judged because of his job and not because of Roy, the
person. He resented this and resented any person or group drawing conclusions
about others because of their looks, beliefs, or job. Roy was a cop, yes, but he
cared deeply about people. Communication on a one to one, person to person
basis was important to him. All that mattered was who a person was and not
what his color religion, or looks were. He wished to share thoughts in doing so
he share1himself far too brief of time. He was a source of knowledge away from
the classroom. .
A • fountain· of- facts, and fantasies, stopped from flowing much too soon.
Our deepest sympathy to Roy's friends and family, but also to the people who
will never know Roy, for they missed a wonderful, caring person.
We at Lane Community College have lost a friend. Let's pause for a moment,
smile, and re_member Roy H. Dirks.

Lane's Family Planning-Woman's Clinic
helps women learn about themselves
by Kathy Craft

"What we want to provide is an
informative, non-threatening atmosphere where women can learn more
about their bodies, understand illnesses that affect them, and obtain
:ontraceptives as easily as possible ."
That's how Diana Taylor, gynecological nurse-practitioner at the LCC
Student Health Service, explains the
purpose of the service's Family Planning-Women's Clinic.
Taylor believes the clinic "is a really
useful service for the women on this
:amp us.'' Sne s&id it was developed
"because there was such an obvious
need for it,' 'explaining that prior to its
opening, the Health Services staff
"was referring almost 95 percent of
the women who came in to other health
agencies in the community--ones that
provided either family planning or

working with a nurse at the Lane

pointed out, so she decided to attend

Afte, Taylor returned to LCC, the
Family Planning-Women's Clinic was
opened. "Now," she said, "we're
able to deal with 95 percent of the
women who co_me in and only refer
about 5 percent of them,'' --usually for
more complicated problems such as
ovarian cysts or. ectopic pregnancies.
J,

the pill over the IUD is predominately
due to the fact that women generally
have less difficulties adjusting to it but
pointed out that the popularity of the
IUD fluctuates according to "how the
,
media is representing it."
Many other women visit the clinic
for treatment of vaginal infections,
Taylor explained, "During the period
from October to March, we saw about
1,100 women for vaginal infections,
such as yeast infections. That's about
25 percent of the female population at
LCC."
The clinic staff also has been trained
to teach women how to perform
gynecological self-examinations.
Taylor hopes to develop a clinic
counseling program to help women
solve general sexual problems. "We
wouldn't deal with real sexual dysfunction--we'd still refer those cases
out--but rather with probfems women

eventually like to see a special group
for both men and women implemented
but added, "I guess I'd start with the
•
women first."
Taylor will be leaving the LCC
Student Health Service at the end of
this quarter to attend the masters
nursing program at the University of
California at San Francisco. "I want to
learn to deal witt, the teen-age woman,
the menopausal woman, pl us how to
provide al I_ sorts of pre-natal and
post-partum treatment. Family planning is rather narrow." She said her
"dream" is "to work with a team of

total
providing
women.''
According to Taylor, her position
has not yet been filled. She said two
persons might be hired to replace her,
one to work in the Family Planning
Women's Clinic, and another, probably a public health nurse to work in
the general health clinic. She added
that plans are to hire a female for the
Family Planning Women's Clinic.
'' Having a woman has been shown to
be really advantageous. Probably the
most common thing I hear women say
is that they want to see a woman, that
they really like seeing a woman and
they don't want to see a male doctor.''
Clearing a point of confusion, Taylor
explained the clinic has "no official
name. Some women call it the Family
Planning Clrnic, some call it •the
Women's Clinic, and we usually
combine the two. At first we used
family planning, but really got a lot of
flak from women who came in and
said, 'But I'm not planning a family, I

DE TROIS

makes
the transition
review by Angel Reid

On April 25 and 26, LCC presented
its first dance-repertoire.
The presentation, "Soiree de Trois
'75," a combination of dance, music,
and
design,
started out
with
"Chansons De Bilitis" by Claude
Debussy. This particular segment of
the program, read entirely in French
was done skillfully and beautifully by
Francois Des Varinnes. The accompaniment, which consisted of two
harps, two flutes, and a piano, was
done by Doris Calkins, Sally Maxwell,
Phyllis Zweig, Joan Hladky, and Ruth
Breidenthal, the Free Eugene Alumnae Chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon,
International Music Sorority.
After a 15-minute intermission, the
second segment, "Pictures at an
Exhibition'' was presented by LCC's
contemporary dance performance
company, and the LCC jazz band.
The 18-p.iece band, under the skillful
direction of Gene Aitken, took some
original work of Modeste Mussorgsky
and turned it into a wildly exciting and
completely different composition.
Nicola Crafts, choreographer, led
the dance company into what turned
out to be a huge_, and excitingly
colorful spectacle.
Crafts, not to be outdone, displayed
her skill and talent, as she presented
. the audience with a repertoire of an
unusual combination of jazz, modern
dance, and contemporary dance routines.
.
The 17-member dance company did ·
an excellent job of staging, as they
leaped to and fro in their blindingly
colorful costumes, in time to the
throbbing music of the jazz band.
But in my opinion, the highlights of
the show were the lighting and set
design, done magnificently by an
ingenious Dave Sherman. Without the
special techniques and arrangements
he used for each dance, the whole
show wou Id not have been nearly as
effective. It enabled the audience to
!get an idea of what Mussorgsky was
trying to portray.
All in all, the whole production,
which I could tell was not an easy one
to produce, turned out to be a most
incredible pie_c~ of ~9rk 1_ and I'm sure
an enjoyable evening for the audience·

Florence physician Dr. Albert
Brauer has served on the LCC
Board of Education since its
inception.
"I have never voted against
any budget, bond issue, or serial
levy, and don't intend to at this
time.
"And, " he continues, "as
far as priorities go, I think that
spending is generally going according to plans that I would
agree with. Of course, no Board
Member can have as much
expertise as Administrators to
make certain decisions. That is
what we pay them for. I think
that in the framework drawn by
the Board, within which the
Administration must work, the
Administrators are doing their
job properly. I cannot think of
any instance where I would say
that things are really askew or
out-of-bounds . ''

In support of the Goldmark
project, Brauer says that he is
convinced that "per-student

without increasing the cost as
much as in the traditional,

But Brauer also says that "in
a tax-conscious era, with taxpayers reaching the near-saturation level, we will have to limit

The campus has nearly reached
its own saturatiion level, and ,

for construction over this period

What about tuition raises?
"I would not be in favor of
raising tu itio·n for next year
because of the committment that
the Board made to students last
year. But I feel that next year, it
would have to be reassessed.
There are just so many sources of
income, and even in trying to
balance the burden among those
sources, we may be faced with
the situation we faced last year:
Eithe( raise tuition, or limit the
number of students. The limiting factor is always money."
Brauer admits that, living in
Florence, he does not see the
relationships of the groups on
campus, but sees a generally
good bond. ' He encourages
disagreement between groups as
being ''healthy . . . as long as
people aren't trying to shed
blood. ''
To the question of balance
between vocational and college
transfer programs, Brauer says
that he feels that any taxpayers

have a right to make a request for
programs in the school. He adds
that "The balance is good for the
people and the college,'' and
hopes that the balance can be
maintained.
''The biggest problem which
LCC will face, though, will be
that of resources. To me there is
no question. Resources are what

Editor's note: In the Aprll 15 edition of the TORCH, we asked for any questions
that the community had about LCC, Its operation, Its problems, Its purpose, and
Its reasons for pride.
We have gathered as much lnforinatlon about the questions as we could, and
we now publish the answers here, as concisely as possible.

Why do we· have to have a speciai·
levy election? Why can't · money
(why hasn't money) · for this material been included in the regular.
annual budget? How do we know
this money will be used as promised
and not diverted to other administrative priorities?
This special levy would provide a three-year budget for the maintenance
and purchase of equipment and materials. This means there can be a planaed
program for maintenance and purchase. If this part of the budget is included
in the regular budget, which often does not pass until just before school
begins each fall, then it is impossible to plan purchases and maintenance. An
outside evaluation of the school last fall said that the college needs a planned
program for equipment repair and renewal.
The school is legally prohibited from using this money for anything other
than maintenance and acquisition of equipment and material. The way the
money may be spent is spelled out in legally binding form.

Give examples of how each department will spend its share of the
levy. What specificall y will they
buy? Cite examples of presently
outdated equipmen t.
How come so much of the money
asked for in the ser~al levy is
pegged for the Mass Comm Dept.?

The following list is a cross section of each department's most urgent and/or
expensive requests. In all but a few cases (marked with a *) the request is for
replacement or repair, rather than new purchases, as the equipment it is
operational
designed to replace is worn out, past minimum safety and
standards. The Mass Communication Department's requests are especially high
as the existing equipment, left over from the days of the antecedent school, in
some cases, is in bad need of repair and replacement. Also, the nature of the
equipment itself makes for a higher cost than many other departments. Finally,
the most expensive request for $140,000, is for new equipment to make the
change from black-and-white to color facilities approved by the Board of
Education.
ART AND APPLIED DESIGN: Special lighting, potter's wheel.
ELECTRONICS: Dual-trace trigger oscilloscopes, Audio Oscillators, F.E.T.

1s it true that some departmen ts·
had to cut part-time personnel
hired
while other departmen ts
some? Why?

Yes, it is true.
According to Director of Personnel Hank Douda, these decisions were
made with a definite rationale based on the administration's "commitment to
the students."
He said they have to consider the fact that during Spring Term there are
some students who need a class to complete two-year courses. If these
courses are cut these students would have to return in the fall. Oouda said the
administration is aware of this need to accommodate such students.
He cited the Science Department as an example of one that had to hire
more part-time instructors (they hired three) to help meet this demand. ''The
Science Department supports so many other disciplines," he said. He. went
on to say that nursing is one department that depends on the Science
Department for classes.
But generally there was a decline in part-time employment throughout the
college. According to Douda, almost all departments had part-time help cut.
The most dramatic cuts were in the Business and . Mass Communication
Departments. He said that part-time help in the Business Department went
from 26 Winter Term to 4 this Spring Term. Mass Communication went from
5 Winter Term to zero Spring Term.

Have advisory committee s had any
say in developing this l·evy?
If you mean, " has an advisory committee been consulted to ascertain
specific department needs t yes. The Board could not otherwise have
established these needs and realized what funds would be required to meet
them. According to Bert Dotson, the Board meets annually with the advisory
committee for this purpose. However, the Board's decision to obtain these
funds in this particular manner (a serial levy) was solely its own.

Wi 11 defeat of the levy affect
accreditati on?
According to Larry Romine, director of LCC Information and Publications,
it is inconceivable that LCC's accreditation will be affected as a result of this
However, during the last visit of the Northwest
one levy proposal.
Association of Schools and Colleges (NASC) in October, 1974, it was brought
to the attention of LCC officials that something must be done about equipment
replacement twenty different times. The NASC will inspect the LCC facilities
again in .five years.
So, it appears that in the future, LCC's accreditation could be affected if a
•serial levy proposal is not approved during one of the next five years.

What is President Schafer's total
income? i.e., house allowance ,
salary, etc. How does it compare
with other communit y colleoes?
Eldon Schafer's total income for holding the position of President of LCC is
$36,000. He is the third highest paid community college president in Oregon
with Portland having the highest,a salary of $39,000 and Treasure Valley the
lowest at $22,500.
President Schafer does not receive a house allowance, however he uses a
1974 Grand Prix that LCC leased from Bob Godfrey Pontiac-Honda for $120
per month.
The President, two assistants to the President and two secretaries share a
$4,400 traveling expense budget. This budget accomodates any other college
staff assigned to the President.

Why was a ''paper .deficit'' of
$300,000 used to stop employme nt
of part-time instructors who would
otherwise have been tenured?

According to Assistant to the President Bert Dotson, "The projected deficit, of
'paper deficit', caused us to make cuts. Because of the union contracts, we
couldn't cut full-time instructors. We already own the equipment that we use.
So, in order to leave the programs intact as possible, we had to cut part-time
instructors.
"Part:time instructors have a chance to earn continuing contract status, or
what this person calls 'tenure' by teaching more than half-time each year for
three years."

Who evaluates President Schafer
and how is it done?
President Eldon Schafer :said that the Board of Education formally
convenes once a year to evaluate the President.

********************************•*************************************************

Why did the Board approve Goldmark over the objections of all staff
and students?

Board members Mention, Reid, Brauer, and Lauris voted for the proposal
with the following arguments pro:
1. Though expensive, it would be only a one-time cost, and would run
without cost {capital outlay) for the first five years.
2. It would reach more people off campus with a much more wider set of
basic courses.
3. It would free the teachers from the basics and let them concentrate
more on supportive materials based on individual need.

What is the nuITlber of people in the
Administration, minus department
chairpeople, plus administrative
secretaries? What is their total
salary and what percentage of the
total budget is this amount?

At the last College Budget Committee meeting, the Administration
presented a table of all the positions that they called Administrative. There
were 22 1 /2 positions listed. The combined salaries for these positions is
$755,531. In support of these positions are 17 administrative secretaries,
earning a total of $126,435. This is a total of $981,966, which constitutes
approximately 4. 7 per cent of the total budget.
If, however, department chairpeople, supervisors, and coordinators are
included, the total salaries for the Administration is increased by $433,192,
and the total is then $1,415,158 for 661/2 positions--about 7 per cent of the
total budget, and about 16 per cent of the amount budgeted for college
salaries.

What is the name of the corporation whose function it is to prevent
unemployment insurance?
Bert Dotson, assistant to the president, said, "I know of no such company
that prevents justified unemployment claims."
He surmises that the
questioner is thinking of the W. Gibbens Company in Portland. This firm
represents employers in unemployment appeals when it judges the appeals to
be invalid.

How much money did LCC lose in
court cases in 1974-75? (also previous year) Total cost: settlements,
attornev fees. etc.

No case going fully through the courts in 1974-1975 required the payment
of a settlement. LCC has paid some claims which were decided informally or
by attorney action, and which the college thought were justified. When the
college considers such a claim valid, the money is not considered "lost."
Money budgeted for legal expenses for 1974-1975 is $8,600. This money is
for the payment of attorney fees and court costs.
•

What is the outlook for a financial
base other than voter support?
According to Larry Romine, director of LCC Information and Publications,
money for the operating budget at LCC comes from a number of sources. In
recent years, a pattern of support has developed in which a certain percentage
of the total budget coming from each source has stabilized. Each year, 42
percent of LCC's operating funds come from the State, 28 percent from
property taxes, 19 percent from tuition and fees, 8 percent from miscellaneous
sources, and 3 percent from federal support.
Under the present contract, voter support deals with approximately
28 percent of the total budget. The outlook for a financial base other than this
is stable, and, therein good.

How would
the
instructional
.activities of LCC suffer if Dean Lew
-Cases's office were abolished
immediately?
See Lewis Case's job description under question #12. To that add his own
words. "Basically, it's just a matter of someone having to do some research
and planning on courses and facilities before they're implemented.
Examining the effectiveness and efficiency of the courses, and the buildings
themselves ... someone has to do it. I guess they just thought it would be
better handled with my other tasks, all in one office.''

What is the job description, salary,
and function of the following individuals: Jon West, Roger Houg-lum, Paul Colvin, Lewis Case, Lisi
Fenner, Lyle Swetland.

Salaries

Lewis Case, $26,000; Roger Houglum, $15,862; Paul Colvin, $17,500; Lisi
Fenner, $11,086; Lyle Swetland, $19,200; and Jon West, $19,581.
According to official college policy, the goals of JONATHAN WEST's
position Equal Opportunity Advisor to the President (Affirmative Action
Officer) are:
1. To organize and establish a program at Lane Community College for
staff and students at all levels that deal with the employment problems of
minorities, women, disadvantaged, handicapped, and veterans. The program
will be designed to eliminate discriminatory practices by counseling, training
and instruction. Such a program must, by its very nature, have the support
and inducement from the highest level of authority. It must be presented
from a level of intelligence that allows all people involved to maintain their
dignity and.respect, yet causing measureable changes to occur.
2. To write an acceptable affirmative action plan.
3. To write procedures for the implementation of the LCC affirmative
action plan.
Communications and methods of accomplishing these goals will be the
same for this program as they are for all other programs on campus. It must
never be forgotten that these goals, like all others of LCC, must lead to better
educational opportunities and quality educational offerings for all people.
The only disciplinary action used in this program will be that imposed by
the _federal government and from the President's Office.
According to a memorandum from Gerald Rasmussen regarding the job

How many · classified employees
stand to be c·u t if budget and serial
elections don't come throuoh?

How important is it to the quality of
training that students be able to
practice on more up-to-date gear?

"There is -no ready figure," said Hank Douda, LCC personnel officer in an
interview. "Cutbacks," he admitted, if any, "will be in accordance to
existing union guidelines,'' and he sighted seniority in classifications. Douda
said he ''sees no point in cutbacks of employees earning less than $500
monthly" since LCC pays unemployment benefits of nearly as much.
"Return to the previously existing tax base would mean a ten per cent loss
of revenue, (to the college) but not necessarily a ten per cent lay-off,'' offered
Douda. But he added that a reduction in the serial levy may have an impact
on jobs in those areas needing equipment in order to survive.

"It's crucial" says Gerald Rasmussen, dean of Instructional Operations. "The students can only use the equipment on hand. We are still
asking for funds to buy new equipment. I agree that the better the
equipment, the better the quality of training for the student.'' ~
The money will buy equipment, materials, and supplies, and replace
obsolete items. Most of the funds will be used for maintenance and
upkeep of the college's sewage lagoon as required by the Department of
Environmental Quality.

Will any money• be used to pay
higher salaries?

How are priorities for constructio n,
equipmen t replaceme nt, salaries,
etc., determine d?

According to an LCC circular printed by the Publications and Information Office received earlier this month, none of the money from the
serial levy will go toward higher salaries. It will be used only for capital
outlay items and materials.

A construction committee headed by Paul Colvin, examines construction
oriented requests and prioritizes them. Requests are then recommended to the
Board who makes the final decision .
Department chairers establish priorities for equipment replacement and give
these requests to the administration. The administration must decide which
requests fit into instructional priorities ar,d measure and compare the
importance of the requests. The top priority requests are then sent to President
. Schafer for approval.
Salaries are negotiated between the Educational Association, a union, and a
negotiator, Lon Mills, hired by the Board of Directors. Lon Mills is assisted by

Personnel Director, Hank Douda; Director of Developmental Funding, Lyle
Swetland; and Director of Special Training, Larry Murray. These people then
work together and decide upon salaries.

The ward, from LCC President Eldon Schafer, is "There is no policy for
'recalling' the President." He said that any reprimand comes from the Board
of Education.

How come students from out of
state and/ or out of county are permitted to enroll in LCC just by saying they live in Eugene? Doesn.' t
the Admissio ns Office do any
checking, just merely take one's
word?
The Admissions Office has no formal procedure for checking student
residency. "We accept indistrict students and liars. If a falsehood is
discovered, the student is administratively dropped and will receive no·
grades," according to Grace Cameron, supervisor of student records. "No
out of district new students were admitted Spring Term and indistrict
students will have priority for Fall Term registration , " explained Jean
Schafer, supervisor of admissions and records.

Why did President Schafer cancel
the proposed Arthur Young Study
of the Administra tion?

What is the pol icy for recal I, reprimand and hiring of the president of
LCC?

What steps are· the administra tion
taking for analyzing efficiency of
managem ent processes at LCC?
"We have just completed a 16-hour class course in management
performance," says Gerald Rasmussen, dean of Instructional Operations. The class, "How to Improve Managerial Performance," was
taken by all of LCC 's deans and associate deans.
The course was a prerequisite for a similar course being offered this
summer. The course is being provided with the help of a grant from the
State Department of Education. ·
In so far as analyzing the efficiency of management processes is
concerned, Rasmussen says he uses what he calls his "Performance and
Objective Goals." This means that approximately every six months he
does a review or follow-up of the goals that were to be carried out by·
certain individuals working for him, to see if they were carried out
according to his standards.

In the faculty contract there is a retrenchmen t policy. What is the retrenchmen t policy for· the adrTlini~tration?
The faculty contract is based on tenure, and therefore the retrenchment clause. "There is no retrenchment policy for administration,"
·stated LCC President Dr. Eldon Schafer. He continued that administra-·
tion is evaluated annually by their most immediate superior as to the
necessity of their position. These evaluations are then reviewed by the
President.

According to Assistant to the President Bert Dotson, "The President did not
cancel the study--the Board did. And it was not because of merit; it was because

of funding.

Why does the evening program get
cut first?
" The evening program doesn't get cut first;" said Dean of Instruction Gerald
Rasmussen. " The Education Association had to reduce part-time instructors
and there is a larger percentage of evening part-time credit class teachers than
in the day. Both day and evening programs combined currently have 40 fewer
classes offered now than in winter term.
Originally ten per cent of the day classes were to be offered at night. The
. number now offered 5.6 per cent. '' Day classes have felt the cutbacks too, says
Ni le Williams , associate dean of Community Education. He went on to say that
when thereare fewer day classes, there will also be fewer night classes. Williams
said " I ' m not sure evening classes get cut first, but they (the students) feel it
rrrore severel y because there aren 't that many classes to begin with,
p_ercentage-wise.''

What ,other things besides Goldmark is the College doing to serve
more ·students at less cost?
"In comparison to what Goldmark is proposing as far as less cost is
concerned, the programs that we have already are doing what Gold mark
is proposing," says Sam Blackwell of the Communication Skills
Department.
"1 've only been to about three or four of the meetings, so I ' m not

Jn the Communication Skills Department , once a year the instructors
make up their own cassette tapes for their individual classes , on their

Similar programs are being done in the Math Department with its
open entry/open exit .classes, and also in the Mechanics Department .

He won't comment.

College Education Association
(LCCEA) refuses to comment
when asked if his organization .

Education seats in the upcoming

But he illustrate s his reasons.
As an active member of the Lane

rather complex political philosophy, and doesn't want to attempt
to sum it up in short terms.
'' Anyone who comes up with a
one or two sentence answer for a
political philosophy, I'd be teary
of. They would be suggesting
simple soultion s for complex

Yet he does say that in a situation where members (teachers)·

friends"- -and sh~ is now secretary to the Director of Student
Activities , Jay Jones.
She has· been active in the
LCCEF since its inception, and
last October was elected President.
"It was exciting and phallenging and rewardin g to be in at the
beginnin g of Lane Commun ity
College, " she says, and tells of
the opening day of classes: "Ten
years ag·o this coming September-, Or. (Dale) Parnell called me
when I was working late at what
we called the Springfie ld Campus, the old Georgia-Pacific
Building (we had the Eugene
Campus too, the old Eugene
Voe-Tech Building) , to ask if
everythin g was ready for the
start of classes the next day. I
said I thought we were all set but
I was scared.
"He told me not to worry, that
someone would be there to help
me. I came to work at 6:30 a.m.
the next morning and half an
hour later that 'someone' came

phone for me, ordering a new

students and teachers and helpAnd she cites reputatio ning and supportin g me all the

just fine and just to continue the

Everywhere she's been she
seems to have gained many
friends. She mentions a number
of people she still is close to and
wants to thank from her stays in
various departme nts. And as we
talk, everyone walking past her
desk has a smile and a wave for
her, or stops for a few words .
• But she expresses"concern that
the original intent of. Lane may
be getting lost, that the emphasis
may be shifting away from the
student.
"This commun ity, this district,
and the people need us more

Lane feels the way we did in the
first years--that students come
first..
"The staff has needs, true,
and the staff at Lane is not as
content as it used to be but
students are what Lane Community College exists for--the
education and training of students.''
Does she see her own part in
the classified employees union as
part of a shift in emphasis away
from the student?
"No ... no, I don't think so.
In fact, we've gotten a great deal
of support and cooperation from
the students. A lot of them are
very interested in how the college runs, and in finding out how
the staff operates. And they
should be; this is their school."

"I
So Alvergue concludes:
don't think teachers should be
any · less involved in school
politics than anyone else. After
all, teachers are taxpayers, too."
Determin ing the most qualified
person for a Board of Education
seat depends wholly upon the.
"Some teachers
individua l:
couldn't care less about politics," he says, "and are less
involved in the political process
than others. It's their right not to
be involved ." He is in favor of
the idea of electing the individuals most able to perform the
duties of the Board of Educatidri,
and, if one or more of those
individu als happens to be a
faculty member, then more
power to them.
He declines to say, however,
whether or not he feels that a
teacher could be (as a Board
member) less inclined to favor
taxpayers' priorities than to
those of educators.
Alvergue , a member of LCC's
social science departm ent, feels .

that in any governm ental system
there is always room for improvement, but doesn't see any other
existing system as being necessarily better than our own. "Ours

He stands strong in his support of the serial levy proposal
slated on the same May 6 ballot.
"I hope to see a good voter

general operating budget proposal, which will be voted o.n

Alvergue admits that he does
not know what percentage of the
Oregon tax dollar goes for educat ion, but says, "Educat ion
should take in a good percentage
of taxes, being very fundamental
to a sound, stable economic and
political democracy. In effect,
people are invesUng in their own
future."
Whether or not the cost of
education will continue to rise,
and perhaps price itself out of
reality, says Alvergue , "depend s
on - the State's commitm ent to
education. The burden is on
everyone involved in education,
and, as professionals, we've got
to see it."
He attribute s the current increases in the cost of equipment
and of operating an educational
institutio n to our inflated economy, and feels that, although the
increases are hard to face, they
are a reality taxpayers must cope·
with.
"People paying a higher price
for education ~hrough taxes is
. simply a reality."
Whether or not the taxpaying
citizens of Lane County choose to
cope with this reality remains to
•
be seen.

reviewed," according to Schlu- she definitely does not favor free

tuition. "I feel students should
have to_pay something for their
education," Schlueter says.
Tuition should represent a
percentage of the students total
education expense, says the economics instructor . .
One alternative which would
remove the uncertainty of the
tuition problem for students was
offered by Schlueter. It would be
called a "two-year freeze" plan.
Under such a plan, tuition would
remain the same each term for
returning students during the
remainder of his or her two-year
LCC program. The tuition would
be set by the Board and subject
to change as assessment for new
rates were deemed necessary.
Only new students would pay the
new rates and each student's
rate of tuition would remain
constant for his or her two-year
stay at LCC. This two-year freeze
plan would at least allow the
student to know what the tuition
cost for their individual program
would be. It wouldn't matter if
the student were in a college
transfer program or a technicalvocational program.
Schlueter sees, "a good balance between college transfer
programs and technical-vocational programs at Lane."
To drop transfer programs, as
some advocate, would raise tuition, she says. This would be
bad, both economically and philosophically, Schlueter points out.

College transfer programs bring
in monies which subsidize vocational training, she says. "Besides, I'm not sure the school can
try to keep enrollment open and
dictate the mixture,'' she adds.
"Students should have some say
are
programs
what
about
needed.''
Student-staff relations,h ip is
good, according to Schlueter, but
she sees a ''deteriorating relationship" between the staff and
the Board. She says that members of the staff feel frustrated
because they feel th et don't have
much say about matters that
concern them. The faculty vote
against Goldmark is just one
example showing the Board's
lack of response to· the staffs
views, according to Schlueter.
• LCC faces many problems
agrees Schlueter, but "Quite
frankly I see the biggest immediate p·roblem as being this
whole financial quest.ion. Five
years from now, the school may
still have some financial woes but
I feel the issue then, may well be
the school's place in the community and its relationship with
community business and common people.''
Again pointing out that, "I
have no easy answers," Schlueter says that people will have to
decide whether the cost of education is worth the sacrifice ar.
then determine how to allocate
their resources so they may go if
that is their individual choice.

The budget
and

a cup of java

• On May 6, LCC will ask Lane County voters to pass an $909,694
per year serial levy, to run for three years. The funds are t~ replace
wom-out, broken, and obsolete equipment, and purchase other
needed supplies. None of the mon~y fro~ this levy will go for
employee salaries.

Check your tax bill. Analyze the figures.
If the levy is passed, it will cost_the owner of a $20~000 home
an extra $6.20 per year, for three years only. That's less than the
year's price of a cup of coffee per week, or of a six-pack of cola
six times a year.

.
Some areas need new equipment to keep pace with industry,
others just to ke~p pace with themselves. Observe: The accreditation
team from the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges insisted
that Lane develop a plan ''for the systematic maintenance and
replacement of college equipment.''
And the 34 Citizens Advisory Committees who advise the college
on its instructional programs have repeatedly urged that equip~ent
purchase and replacement be given high priority at LCC.
The machine shop, for example, is woefully obsolete. A lathe
which doesn't cut it here won't cut the mustard out in in<Justry.
And neither will the student who trains on it.

Check your own tax bill. Compare LCC's portion with other
tax charges. Ask yourself if LCC is worth it~ Whatever you decide,
vote May 6.

To the Editor:
Judy Weller is running for the LCC
Board of Education. She has been a
student at LCC for six terms, and
understands the issues facing the
school, from the viewpoint of a
student, a taxpayer, and a community
member.
Judy has been· a member of the
Student Sena~. representing the Interdisciplinary Studies and Social Science Departments.
Many of her
suggestions are acted upon, because
she has leadership qualities and thinks
before speaking.
She feels that far too much money
is budgeted at Lane for administration,
and more should go to instruction.
How many of you have had trouble
getting a class you really want, or one
that is necessary for your major? Judy
Weller can't solve all these problems,
but electing her to the Board will
certainly help see that your interests
are considered.
Support your community, and get
out and vote: May 6, for Judith Weller
for the LCC Board of Education, Zone

Cooper, Roth.
and Graham .
shin~ at Twilight

Debbie Roth, Rod Cooper and
Kelly Graham all glittered brightly at
the Oregon Twilight Meet held at
Hayward Field Saturday in Eugene.
R9th won the women's 880 and
Graham claimed first in the high jump
while Cooper set two school records in
the six mile and 10,000 meters.
Roth's 880 time of 2:14.3 was not
only good for a school record but
carries significant impact in Women's
Track and Field nation wide. Her time
was only four seconds slower than the
winning 880 time set last year in the
Women's national competition when
Frances Larrieu of UCLA won in
2:10.5. Roth ·would compete at the
NCAA level because in women's track
junior col leg es compete with the
universities.
Oddly enough, however, Roth may
choose to compete in the two-mile
when the nationals come to OSU May
15th.
The reason for this, LCC
Women's Track Coach Susan Cooley
said, is that the competition may be
less there.
"It will all depend on
where the stiffest competition will
be,'' she said.
Cooper ran the 10,000 meters
against Steve Prefontaine and Jon
Anderson, but he said that running
against Pre didn't really cause him to
much pressure. "He wasn't a factor in
the race at all," Cooper said.
"i
figured I'd get lapped two or three
times.
What I did do was very
satisfying to me because I didn't think
I had it in me."
Cooper's time in the 10,000 meters
was 30:23.0 minutes, and he crossed
the six-mile line while running the
same race in a record-breaking time of
29:24.5 minutes. Dan Aunspaugh held
the previous 10,000 meter mark at
32:01 . 7 minutes and Tim Williams had
owned the 6-mile record at 30:23.0.
Graham won the high jump with a
leap of 6 feet 10 inches, and Coach Al
Tarpenning said he ''just about made 1
1..:0." Graham has cleared seven feet
earlier this year in an indoor meet.
Kevin Tarpenning, son of LCC
Track Coach Al Tarpenning, finished
sixth-place in the javelin with a throw
of 184 feet and 3 inches.
He was
edged out by Ronnie Lee who speared
190-1. Al Shibley took fifth in the shot
with 48 feet 4 inches and fifth in the
discuss with 143 feet 8 inches; both
efforts were less than he's done earlier ·
this year. Vince Woods, LCC's top
sprinter, ran the 220 in 21 . 7 seconds
for fifth place.
Also, Bob Moore jur,1ped 6 feet 6
inches in the high jump for third place,
and Bruce Jones jumped 6 feet 4
inches to give LCC another fifth. •
Finally, Cheyrl Bates ran the 880 in
2:20.3 for seventh. She has qualified
for national competition already.

It was tough, but Titans tumble all
by Kelly Fenley

Vince Woods had taken off his
sweats, pulled up his crazy striped
socks and begari fidgeting impatiently
for the 400 meter relay to start. Ahead
of him 100 meters was teammate Gary
Barnes who would anchor the relay for
LCC.
•
Barnes looked over to Woods and
raised his closed fist in a gesture of
power. Woods returned the fist and
yelped a tad of defiance to Mt. Hood
Community College, who was 1n the
first lane. They were sure -to hear, but
at that point, not take it too seriously.
So far, they were the fastest relay
team in the State for community
colleges.
Seconds later the gun sounded
across the field and Lloyd Hafer shot
from the blocks.
He sprinted the
corner and like clockwork ·slapped the
baton in the hand of Oscar Casey. LCC
was edging ahead.
Casey wound out the corner, sprinted down the stretch and then Woods
got the baton. After that Mt. Hood
must have been bewildered.
In what Coach Al Tarpenning called
a "tremendous leg," Woods dug in

The Titans split a double-header
with league-leading Linn-Benton Community College here last Sunday.
Linn-Benton won the first game in a
heart breaking 1-0 score but LCC came
back to win the second bid 3-1.
Coach Dwane Miller thought LCC
should have won both games over their
powerful opponent.
"In the first
game, the bases were loaded," he
said, "there were two outs and our
best hitter was up." But then, Mill er
said, Linn-Benton's pitcher picked the
man on third base off and quenched
the fourth-inning rally.
In the second game, Russ Dickson
hit a home run with a man on second
base to rally the win. Joel Jaukkuri
had scored earlier in the second
inning.
The Titans also had a doubleheader- spHt. v.(i·t h .Ch.em.eketa last

and pulled ahead from everybody. The
exchange with Barnes was good, and
then Barnes himself flew down the
home stretch, holding off Mt. Hood's
Bill Sedar and breaking the string for a
seasonal best clocking of 42.1 seconds.
It was the fastest relay time in the
state thus far, and it did a lot for the
Titans that day in the six-way metric
meet here Thursday.
''The relay gave us a lot of tempo,''
said Tarpenning, who had said earlier
that Lane could only win the meet if
they "worked real hard." LCC did
win, but not nearly as strong as before.
The titans tallied up 79 points, not
too much ahead of Mt. Hood with 70
113 points and the OSU JV's with 69
2/3.
Central Oregon Community College
was fourth with 34 points, the Oregon
Track Club had 11 and Clark College
managed 8.
The meet was impressive in several
areas. Titan distance star Rod Cooper
set a new school record in the 1500
meter run with a time of 4:00.6 . Gary
Barnes ran the 400 meters in a winning, and personal record time of 48.7

seconds, and, Al Shibley was a double
winner again in the discus and shot
put.
Tarpenning also was pleased with a
"smart" 800 meter run by Tom
McDonnell and the depth shown in the
shot put again, with LCC taking four of
the five places.
Woods ran for a second place in the
220, but said he had a hurt leg and was
convinced he could have done better.
"I was warming up in the gym," he
said, '' but when I came out in the cold
air my leg really tightened up." Two·
other bright spots in the meet were a
first place pole vault by Kevin Tarpenning and a winning high jump by Kelly
Graham.
