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 She is many officials already in public office. currently a student, an ASL CC Senator, a school bus driver, the mother of six, and a member of the Lane Rural Volunteer Fire Department--all while maintaining a 4.0 GPA for 27 credits last term. She 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.

April 29, 1975 page 1 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, Budget committee gels role clarified Makes minor cuts and approves some budget schedules by Rick Bella What are we here for? How can we judge what we don't know? These basic questions surfaced at the LCC Board of Education Budget Committee meeting last Wednesday night in the Administration Building., The Budget Committeeis comprised of seven Board of Education members,· :~~~~~~r:~~ 1 ":1:~~~:" :~-~rfi~~~ members, seated without vote. 0 • It approved budget schedulE!s for the Office of the President at $113,000. It approved schedules for the Office of Instruction at $150,500. Dean of Business Operations Tony Birch supplied a 95-page ''Detailed Information on Composition of the Serial Levy," a document explaining the nature of the equipment to be re- V _ 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, _fqq~_~eryices, ~nd surnrner ttieatr:e. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 30, at 7:30 p.m. in the Board Room of the Administration Building. The public is invited to attend. 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." • s acant enate seats filled "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 can sell to the communitv." placed by the funds gathered by that levy. The $2.1 million three-year levy will go before Lane County voters next Tuesday, May 6. 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.'' Page 2 m-arf¾ ··--w.~~@Mffl$~Wam: :J: DB C II ,di. 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, Rubicon hosts Board hopefuls • by Mike McLain . The mood was one of agreement on the major problems facing the college ,.,. ,. ' LET) PUT-~ ~ WOMf\N IN HER Plf\CE faculty, administrators, and staff." Issues such as orientation ·programs for women returning students, problems affecting women studying in traditionally all-male fields and child Methods for care were discussed. obtaining grants to aid in implement- ing innovative programs for women and programs for improving the status of female faculty, administrators, and classified staff at community colleges were also examined. Three women students, two from LCC, discussed some of the special as ten of the 13 prospective LCC Board members aired their views at the Rubicon Society's noon luncheon in the House of Lee Chinese Restaurant last Friday. The candidates generally agreed that the college's lack of credibility in the community is at the root of the present, and possibly the future financial difficulties facing LCC. Each, in their five minute turn, hammered away at inequitable and wasteful spending, the atmosphere of distrust _ that has developed among the personnel, and the lack of communication with the community. The candidates in attendance were: James Pitney and Judy Weller from Zone Two seat; Dick Eymann, Jack Hart, Bob Hoffman, Larry Perry, Bob Wright, Gary Underwood, Ruth Watters and Bill Watkins for the At-Large seat.

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. 725 w. 1st ave. the . 1pagettI warehou,e family-style dining eugene, oregon 484-1919 priced to $2.75 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. On April 11, 1975, Roy Dirks a fellow student and friend of many here on campus, was killed. This is a double tragedy for us, for Roy was killed not Roy Dirks was a cop. 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. S. R. Skinner JJulia ~nn ~nhinsnn When we remember Julie Robinson I hope it is not to mourn her, bu~ to celebrate her--to celebrate the memory of a special person. For Julie was special; I think she had an edge on all of us-.:.she saw more, heard more, and felt more of life. Those who knew her understand this. The first time you met her or saw her you had that special feeling. You were first struck by her beauty, but then you were more taken by her soul that was so magnificiently reflected in her eyes. Behind those eyes was a bright mind, a beautiful soul, and an incredible amount of sensitivity. We musn't despair about her being taken from us so early.

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 This was gynecological services. really frustrating for me personally," she added, "as I spent an awful lot of · my time just on the phone." Taylor resolved to remedy this situFirst she learned how to ation. perform vaginal examinations "from working with a nurse at the Lane County VD Clinic." This, however, '"only solved part of the problem," she pointed out, so she decided to attend the gynecological-nurse practitioners program at the New Jersey College of (A Medicine during May, 1973. is gynecological nurse-practioner trained to perform gynecological examinations and prescribe contraceptives.) 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 experience in terms of their sexual She said she would identity." 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 physicians- and technical assistants care for health 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 just want some birth control and some advice.' On the other hand, some of our patients are married and actually are planning families." Whatever one chooses to call it, the clinic meets on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. The clinic staff is composed of a combination of paid, work experience, and volunteer staff. Salaried workers include Taylor, Gail Williams, a registered nurse, and a lab technician, Bob Ivy, an LCC nursing 'student--and the Approxionly male staff member. mately -fifteen women attend each clinic session; eight of these are new patients who must -be scheduled beforehand. 1 ' Re-visits don't have to . make appointments,'' Taylor said. According to Taylor, the majority of the women who visit the clinic "are healthy women who simply want to stay that way.'' She said they are interested in obtaining ''preventive health care," most commonly annual pap smears, contraceptive information and contraceptives. Taylor said the pill is the form of birth control prescribed most frequently at the clinic, with 75 percent of the women desiring a contraceptive choosing it, 15 percent IUD's and the remainder generally diaphrams or foam and condoms.

SOIREE 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.

Currently, Catherine Lauris sits on the LCC Board of Education--admits to "dabbling in the administration,." supports the "innovative" direction of the staff, and believes in student judgment and opinions, if not in their ability to make important decisions concerning LCC operating budgets. Affirming her belief in education, this well-experienced Board member admits she will support the serial levy on May 6 but she suggested a cut in the budget two weeks ago. She does not want to raise tuition, and she considers budget cuts a matter of indiyidual departments setting their ''ideals'' and the budget full~e picked his words care- John BaRB€R by Barbara Matt by Rick Bella 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 costs" can be reduced in the long "It provides a way of run. expanding avenues of teaching without increasing the cost as much as in the traditional, teacher-classroom situation.'· But Brauer also says that "in a tax-conscious era, with taxpayers reaching the near-saturation level, we will have to limit development in the near future. The campus has nearly reached its own saturatiion level, and , after the next four years , when LCC has exhausted state credit for construction , we will probably have to limit comstruction of I do not campus buildings. foresee any more money being asked from the property taxpayer for construction over this period of time. " 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 govern everything that we do. We've got everything else--a good staff, a good administra. tion, a good campus, good policies and good goals and d irections. But the thing that is going to control all this is resources.

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.

SIUSLAW SKILLS CENTER: Ir********* ********** **** ***************** 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. .,. ..,,.,...... . ,. April 29, 1975 u11nage 9 ********************************•************************************************* 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 • description for LCC's Instructional Development Consultant ROGER HOUGLUM, this individual works basically with four departments. In Electronics he helps with the maintenance and repair of all equipment relating to the media; in Mass Communication, he works with the development of programs and general broadcasting, with special emphasis on the relations with the FCC and curriculum matters in the radio station; with the Learning Resource Center he works with the Dial Access Retrieval program, and other media-related areas; and in the Office of Funding and Governmental Affairs he helps to write proposals dealing with the Mass Media, as well as other things. According to the official job description for LCC's Director of Institutional Research and Planning, PAUL COLVIN's general responsibilities are: The Director of Institutional Research and Planning is generally responsible for comprehensive planning for the college covering all facets from curriculum to facilities and providing the support research required for such planning. He is also responsible for the general administration of the college construction · program, and he performs other research duties as may be assigned by the President. The Director delegates some of his responsibilities to his staff which occasionally includes up to 40 assistants, consultants, and contracted people in the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.

According to LISL FENNER, her duties have changed slightly since Dick Eymann left the college, but the basic job is the same. Her primary function is to seek funding on the state and federal levels, rather than the local level, which is Lyle Swetland's domain. Her heaviest work comes from handling a library of research sources related to developmental monies, and from writing budgets and project proposals for funding. The monies she will bring in will be used for curriculum development, acquisition of equipment, and for studentfinancial aid. According to the official college job description for the Director of Development, the general responsibilities of LYLE SWETLAND's position read as follows: The primary responsibility of the Director of the Office of Development is the planning and promotion of understanding, participation and support to Lane Community College of services and gifts from the various publics.

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 This ~ear they are three administratc\rs appointed by President Schafer. 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 The proposed study would have cost $5,000-$6,000." 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 totally familiar with the program . But from what I gather, the Gordmark program will cost LCC more in the long run . " Jn the Communication Skills Department , once a year the instructors make up their own cassette tapes for their individual classes , on their own time. The cassette tapes are changed according to each new program. Doing it this way saves the college money. Similar programs are being done in the Math Department with its open entry/open exit .classes, and also in the Mechanics Department . page 11 April 29, '875 **** **** **** **** **** ** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** level to the staff nt departme One might wonder how she The first time I was at the home of the LCC student body president she and a -friend were sitting at a dining table.

She is well aware of the tight economi c situation s taxpaye rs are in--she is in one, too. . It's tough. But she supports the budget and hopes the taxpayers will too. Torres watched this budget go through all the channels from the ''The figures in the Board. budget document are as fair as any I've seen in any bureaucratic institutio n."

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.

We need someone to support the best of possible education here at LCC.'' "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 to (system) has adaptibil ity change," he says. "To quote Edmund Burke," an 18th Cen"A tury British Statesman, society ,without the means of change is a society without the means of its own existence.' It's a constant process of seeing the need to adapt, and doing it, with care and planning ." 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 turnout. It shows that people are intereste d." He also backs the general operating budget proposal, which will be voted o.n June 17. Seeing a functioni ng democracy as having more than just minimal participa tion from individual citizens, he says "I think people should do more than just Alvergue states that vote." citizens can voice their opinions about amounts of taxes and priorities for their use as long as we have input into the process. "The way to do it (have a voice) To is through participa tion. ~njoy liberties , you have to participate in the system.' ' 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.

"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. «· • * · ········ ········ ··~···· ········ ········ ········ ········ ········ « * « * * * REM IND ER: - .* ..

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.

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.

April 29, 1975~::c,:;::::~ a n ,--ZOBCB- 1 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 -Women nab second in track meet The Women's Track team was over-i" whelmed by a strong Oregon squad· here last Saturday, but the Titans still managed to claim second place and do "I think we did real well," said LCC Coach Susan Cooley. "You have to consider we only had about threequarters of our people competing." 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.
