ASLCC President
resigns post
Treasurer ousted
Len Wassam

the newly resigned . President and his successor:

by Mike Mclain
The ASLCC Student Senate lost its
President and Treasurer at the Senate
meeting Tuesday, September 2.
The resignation of Russ Linebarger,
who was elected ASLCC President
following a very close, contested
election last spring, was announc~d by
Jay Jones, the Director of Student
Activities. Linebarger was not at the
meeting.
Treasurer Leonard Landis, who was elected in the spring elections, was
sent a memo by the Senate informing
him that he would be removed from
office as a result of, "prolonged
absence from meetings and duties,'' •
unless he could show "just cause."
As of yet there had been no explanation by Landis for his absence from
meetings.
When Linebarger was contacted

later by the TORCH, he explained that
since his election in the spring, he had
changed his major from nursing to
journalism and had decided that the
amoun-t of time that the Presidency
requires would be too restricting on his
school work, his pursuit of a writing
career and his family life.
He said that when he was considering his decision he ''wrote down a
I ist of the pros and cons of the
situation; what I can get out of the
Presidency and what I could get out of
devoting my time to a career in
journalism and to my family.
My
career and family easily won out." He
minimized the effect this would have
on the ASLCC, saying that Len
Wassom, who will step from the VicePresidency to the Presidency, according to the ASLCC By-laws, "can do as

good a job as I could have.'' He added
that he made his decision to run last
Spring after he was drafted by other
members of the Senate and that at the
time, "I didn't really want to do it. I
didn't know whether I wouid have the
time to devote to it and thought I might
be President in name only. But I figured that Len Wassom could take up
the load.''
Linebarger stated that although he.
plans to attend LCC this year, he plan
ori no involvement with the ASLCC,
but would instead like to work as 'a
reporter for the TORCH.
''There are two different approaches
to solving student problems and rather
than work within a system that,
because of its rigid structure, drags its
feet, I want to work at making people
aware of the problems through writ-

Gunshot follows arguments at Heceta
A .22 caliber pistol was
fired, apparently as a
warning, by the caretaker
at the LCC-leased Heceta
House property north of
Florence Friday, September 5, following several
verbal arguments and a
spitting incident between
the caretaker and one of the
weekend guests at the
house.

Russ Li-nebarg·~-~

The incident involved Harry Tammen, who is employed by LCC as a
live-in caretaker at Heceta House, and
Barry Hood, the husband of ASLCC
student government secretary, Connie
Hood.
Heceta House had been reserved
that weekend for a meeting between
the ASLCC student government and
the LCC Board of Trustees. Tlhere
were no further incidents through the
weekend and the schedule of events
went according to plan.
The altercations were apparently the
resuJt of disagreements over the
Heceta House regulations g9verning
guests bringing animals to the retreat
facility.
There have been no official actions
taken by either party and the pol ice
were not notified of the incident, but
according to Tony Birch, dean of
business affairs, the College administration has been notified of the
incident and is investigating the
matter.
While there are some descrepencies
6n the topics of the arguments, reports
filed by Tammen, Hood, and Jay
Jones, the LCC Director of Student
Activities who was a witness to the
incident, the narratives agree on the
basic actions that led up to the
shooting:
Hood and his wife and dog, Prince, a
15 year old fox terrier, arrived at
Heceta House at approximately 6:30
p.m. As they were walking towards
the house with their dog they were
approached by Tammen, who told
them it was against the law to have a
dog at Heceta House. After a brief

Mike Trevino, who was defeated by
Linebarger in a very close contest last
Spring, expressed no surprise, but
some bitterness when informed of
Linebarger's resignation. "It's something that i expected. Aus Linebarger
is a jerk and, like many people who run
for these offices, he just wanted to
make it big."
Following his defeat last Spring,
Trevino transferred to the U of O to
continue his schooling.
The newly vacant positions of VicePresident and Treasurer will be filled
by Presidential appointment and ratification by the Senate.

AS LCC meets with .Board

by Mike McLain
"Student government has to learn to
govern themselves, they can't expect
the Board of Education to assume a
paternalistic role. They won't be able
to count on me to solve their
problems.''
These were sentiments expressed
by Jim Martin, Board of Education
representative from Zone Three, at a
meeting between Board members and
student government members at Heeeta House the weekend of September
5, 6, and 7.
''This group seems to be moving in
the right direction," according to
Martin. "They're working as hard as
any, but nothing that has happened
here has changed my opinion of
student government at LCC.''
Slated as a get-acquainted session,
the meeting at Lane's retreat facility
north of Florence was described by all
those present as somewhat disappointing.
Disappointing from the ASLCC
student government's point of view as
Martin and Larry Perry, AT-Large
Board representative, were the only
Board members to show up.
Perry expressed disappointment
that the topic of conversation centered
more around political philosophy than
the problems and goals of student
government.
Martin initially felt insulted that all
the officers of ASLCC didn't come but
when informed of President Russ
Linebarger's resignation and Treasurer Leonard Landis' ouster he felt this
further ''weakened the already strained credibility of student government.''
Topics of conversation at the
meeting included student rights, student input on curriculum development
and college committees and on the
method student government initiating
action instead of only reacting to
administrative decisions, which was
considered to be a major problem by
all present.

Board delays decision and
SPAF budgets get second chance
The Special Programs
Activities Fund (SPAF)
budgets wi 11 go back to
committee as the Board of
Education decided to table
any action at its meeting
Sept. 10 in the Board Room
of the Administration
Building.

Judy Weller, the ASLCC-Board
liaison who had organized the meeting, said, "we had hoped to establish a
dialogu~ between all of the Board and
the Student government." While she
thanked Martin and Perry for coming,
she was "very disappointed that only
two out of five Board members came
and that two didn't even respond to an
RSVP invitation."
Weller said she could understand
there were legitimate reasons some
members couldn't attend, but she felt
others were responding to "administrative disapproval" of the meeting.
She felt that before the administration knew that the press was invited,
they objected to the Board meeting as
a group in violation of the ''open
meeting" law and that the Administ ration didn't clarify their position
when informed that the RegisterGuard and the TORCH were informed
of the meeting.
Len Wassam, who assumed the
ASLCC presidency upon Russ Linebarger's resignation, felt there was a
''good rapport being developed with
Martin and Perry" and that "we're
getting acquainted with them, letting
them know we're here to cooperate."
But he also expressed disappointment
that more of the Board didn't com~.

The SPAF fund consists of money
from the mandatory student fees
collected with tuition and revenues
from vending machines on campus.
The funds are used t;>y the ASLCC,
the TORCH, Health Services, and
Athletics.
Dean of Students Jack Carter, who
must review the recommendations
from the SPAF Committee, had
originally asked the user groups to
construct budgets based on the
1973-74 funding levels. But after
protests from the user groups and a
review of the situation by Carter, he
decided to work for alternate proposals.
"We would seriously hamper the
operation of those programs if we
followed the recommendations of the
(SPA F) Comm it tee," says Carter.
And, not having the "opportunity to
modify" the SPAF proposals, Carter
presented the Board with four alternate plans of his own--two based on
expenoitures by user groups during
the last year, and two based on
allocations. The Board expressed a
desire to see budget proposals from
the SPAF Committee, and requested
them as soon as possible.
Jay Jones, SPAF Committee chairer
and Director of Student Activities,.
applauded the move. "I think that this
is a good sign as it shows that the
Board is taking a course of action
strengthening the credibility of
SPAF ." Jones says the SPAF Cammittee will meet to hammer out proposals
this week.

Lettuce decision reversed
The Board also decided to rescind an
action taken in the spring to purchase
on I y lettuce packed by the United
Farm Workers.
President Eldon Schafer said he felt
that it was "inappropriate" for a
public institution to take a political
stand, especially in view of the
situations of local producers and
distributors. He was backed by Dean
of Business Operations Tony Birch,
who listed financial reasons as the
basis for his decision.
The Board voted 5-2 to rescind its
action, with Catherine Lauris and Jim
Martin dissenting.
'' I think that this issue should not be
looked at in terms of dollars and
cents," says Martin.

KVDO question settled
The Board also decided to end the
year-long KVDO controversy and
officially include LCC in the plans.
Liberty Broadcasting had originally
offered the station's facilities for sale
to a consortium of community colleges
with LCC as the managerial leader.
After long debate and the final
purchase of the facilities by the
Oregon Educational Broadcasting
System (OEPBS) the Board decided to
ratify a tentative signing of a new
agreement:
LCC will have priority
over other educational institutions in
assinging students to the station for
training and in developing ;Jrograms in
cooperation with the OEPBS.
The legislature authorized the purchase of the station for public use by
the OEPBS during its· last meeting.

"

LCC's support for the station will be
provided through a $238,000 gift over
the next five years from Eugene Televison Inc., owner of KVAL-TV in
Eugene.

Food costs up
service down

•

by Cris Clark
LCC's restaurant will no longer
serve breakfast nor ten-cent coffee.
Breakfast items will be served in the
snack bar line only beginning this fall,
and the restaurant will limit its hours
to 11 to 1:30.
LCC's faculty and students will be
charged 15 cents for the notorious
bean this fall, and for those who once
enjoyed succulent slices of ham on
their chef's salads, a substitute of
turkey will have to suffice. And all
sandwiches, including the great American hamburger, will see price increases.
Di rector of Food Services Ken
Brownell is also initiating a campaign
to encourage people to bus their own
dishes. Due to rising food and labor
costs, ''I cut the amount of money
available to hire bussers and dish..;
washers,'' says Browne! I. So, persons
using the snack bar and cafeteria
facilities this year will see signs on
table tops urging them to clean up
after themselves.
In Food Services' failure to find a
suitable full-time manager, LCC President Eldon Schafer suggested that a
catering service be hired to manage
the cafeteria and restaurant facilities.
The only other option open to
Director Brownell and Dean of Business Tony Birch would be to re-open
the position for manager, and tie-up
Brownell in Food Services until the

right person is hired. As an instructor
of Home Economics, Brownell is
restricted in the amount of actual
instruction time while he is also
manager of Food Services'.
Two local caterers have given formal
written proposals for the operation of
Food Services. A committee consisting of an LCC student, an instructor,
two Food Service personnel, two Food
Service instructors, and a member of
the Advisory Committee have '' asked
for a formal bid, and established some
criteria,'' says Browne I I. These
criteria are:
*That all personnel remain in
the employ of LCC;

*That LCC retain all recordkeeping and financial information;
*That the caterer retain a low
profile in order to maintain the
cafeteria's identity as a function
of LCC;
*That the Director of Food
Services be in charge of all
personnel;
*That the caterer supply
. management skills, menus,
recipes and merchandising techniques.
One affect a caterer could have on
LCC's cafeteria is the method for:
merchandising the food. In other
words, the display of the food in the

cafeteria line. Brownell feels that a
catering service may help the layout of
the food to be more attractive.
Also, due to a caterer's ability tc
purchase less costly food through morE
direct national contracts, a wider
selection of food would be seen on the
line.
The introduction of a caterer wuld
have no negative effect on the
work-study program. ''In fact, a
caterer can be a good advantage for
work study students," says Brownell
"it would be like on-the-job-training
for students interested in catering
work.''
Although two local catering services
are interested in the position, Brownell
chooses not to disclose their names.

Nader to investigates colleges
for PIRC funding tightness
Because of the frustrations may
student PIRGs (Public Interest Research Groups) are experiencing over
obtaining funding cooperation from
colleges and universities, Ralph
Nader, a co-founder of the Pl RG concept, has initiated investigations of a
number of public colleges and universities. Nader's Citizens Action Group
is reportedly undertaking the investigations and will be particularly on the
lookout for cases they feel represent
conflict of interest on the part of
college trustees.
Nader and other Pl AG boosters feel
that in many cases Pl RGs have been
denied access to student fee funds
because a businessman-trustee had a
personal reason for wanting to keep
the consumer-oriented PIRGs inactive.
Since the first Pl RG was founded in
1970 the organizations have been
established in over 20 states. The
PIRGs are organized on a state level
with individual campuses funding the
state office. A student board of directors hires professionals such as lawyers and chemists to perform investigations. Typical PIRG projects are
price and interest-rate comparison
surveys and environmental preservation investigations.
Successful PIRGs are almost always
funded through a mandatory-refundable fee collected from each student at
registration. Prior to asking aoministration approval for the fee collection,
PIRG organizers collect signatures on
a petition and hold a referendum to
demonstrate student support.
It was this ability to secure

mandatory-refundable fee funding
that allowed the Pl RGs to flourish and
amass the funds to perform large-scale
research.
But in other areas, this
funding mechanism has been PIRG's
biggest obstacle.
Recently, PIRG organizers are having increasingly difficult times getting
permission to collect the mandatoryrefundable fee. The U. of Minnesota
recently backed off and changed the
PIRG collection method from mandatory-refundable to optional check-off.
Pennsylvania State U. turned down the
mandatory-refundable method and
will require PIRG to gather fees
through a voluntary check-off, an
action which prompted the Nader
investigations.
At Indiana U., PIRG and the student
government may loose even the
voluntary check-off method of obtaining funds. A proposal before the trustees there would ''abolish the collection of fees and funds for non-University purposes." Presently, the student
government and PIRG there are
funded solely through voluntary
assessments at registration. Last
spring, 26% of registering students
checked off a $1 fee for student

this amounted to $8,734 for PIRG and
$7,610 for student government, a
mandatory fee would have ,yielded
considerably more.
Even after refunds, PIRGs typically obtain funds
from 80½ to 90½ of a school's enrollment under the mandatory-refundable
plan.

The theory that L~nette Alice
(Squeaky) Fromme, a dingba~ follower
of Charles Manson, was acting alone
when she didn't fire the gun has, of
course, been dismissed out of hand.
Typical of the sensational exposes
now in the works is writ~r-attorney
Park (cq) Lane's 842-page manuscript
on the subject which is already in the
hands of his publishers. Its title is
"Rush to Print!"

As to miss Fromme's motives for not
shooting the President, Lane believes
she was either working for Fidel
Castro and against Yasir Arafat or vice
versa as a plant for either (a) the CIA,
(b) the FBI, (c) the Department of
Agriculture, (d) all three or (e) none of
the above.
Lane resolves this dilemma with
"The Two Miss From mes Theory."
Less than 45 minutes after Miss

OSPIRG to sleuth consumer affairs
The OreQon Student Public Interest
Research Group (OSPI AG) recently
announced its fall program of consumer and environmental research projects.
Projects ready for students to work
on when Lane Community College
begins include two "undercover"
consumer investigations. In addition,
students will be compiling a list of
health services avai Iable to students
both in the community and related to
school. A voter registration drive is
p.lSO planned.
Students interested in environmental problems will be able to work on a
survey of off-road vehicle use which
may provide the basis for future
legislation. Opportunities to work on
forest practices, water quality problems and land-use issues wi 11 also be
available.
Details of all projects will be
provided at the first LCC OSPI RG
meeting (to be announced). Students
interested in these projects, or having
projects of their own to suggest,
should attend the first meeting or drop
in on the OSPIRG office in the Student
Resource Center Off ice.
OSPI RG, a student-funded and
directed organization was established
in 1971 to provide students with an
opportnity to research consumer;
environmental, civil rights and health
issues under the supervision of a staff
of lawyers and other professionals.
Results of this research are used to
press for social change before state
government agencies and through
public education. Over the past four
years, OSPIRG has become the
leading voice in consumer and environmental protection in Oregon.
Last year, Lane students helped

Dial Retrieval offers extra help for students
.-iNFORMA. TION RETRIEVAL SER-'
VICES: Information retrieval services,
commonly called Dial Retrieval, is a
multi-media arm of the library. Located in the basement of the Center
Building, Dial Retrieval consists of audio
and video tape recordings of lectures,
films, and speeches.
" student wishing to use .the system
requests a tape at the Dial desk. The
information is then played for the stu-

dent through individual earphones and
TV screens.
In addition an instructor
can request a playback for his entire
class.
Catalogues of available tapes are located at the Dial Desk and in the library.
The office is open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. on Friday. The service
is free.

bring about two significant successes.
As a result of an investigation by the
LCC local OSPIRG board, the Coast
Guard levied a fine against a Eugene
company for illegally polluting the
Willamette River. The fine was
accompainied by an official order to
cease the practice.
Lane students also helped provide a
consumer voice in telephone rate
increase hearings through some survey work. Because of the effort by
Lane students along with students
across the state, the Public Utility
Commissioner was influenced to cut
back on the general proposed telephone rate hike by about one-third.
During the past summer, OSPIRG
was the only group to present
testimony against increasing pay
telephone rates to 20 cents during the
Pacific Northwest Bell rate hearings.
The Public Utility Commissioner,
rejecting arguments of his own staff
and Pacific Northwest Bell, ordered
that pay telephone rates will remain at
10 cents in Oregon.
According to OSPIRG staff director,
Neil Robblee, this saves the average
Oregonian $4.00 every year. Those
who use pay phones more regularly
save even more.
Those interested in working on
projects this year should watch for
announcement of OSPIRG's first
meeting of the year which will take
place within the first week of classes.
Most of OSPIRG's professional staff of
attorneys, scientists and land-use
experts will present the projects in
more detai I and help get" them
organized here at LCC. Interested
students should also contact their professors about getting class credit for
working on OSPIRG projects.

ASLCC SENATE - - "...elTl.bodiment of student representation ..."

Activities Director's statement: As ASLCC
Activities Director, I will be appointing
students to the Activities Committee early
in the fall term. The function of the Activities Committee is to aid the Activities
Director in the selection and the execution
of activities throughout the year. The exact
dates for interviews have not yet been set,
but will be publicized ahead of time. My
office is located on the second floor of the
Center building in the Student Senate
section. My office hours will be posted
when school starts and I encourage anyone
with ideas concerning student activities to
come and see me.
Sincerely,
Francie E. Killian
Activities Director

PRESIDENT Le11 wassom
As ASLCC Publicity Director, I would
like to extend my invitation to you to stop
by and see me for any publicity that I could
help you with. My office hours will be
posted when school starts. I will be
appointing students to the Publicity
Committee early in the fall term. The
function of the Publicity Committee is to
aid the Publicity Director help make
decisions concerning Publicity policy and
to provide student input on Publicity
Guidelines.

Congratulations on your decision to
enter Lane Community College. This
school possesses one feature that is
unique to most other community
colleges or four year institutions. That
is the qua! ity of really caring for the
students and all other people involved.
The instructors have a knack for
creating an interest in the courses
because they have an interest in their
students.
For example, Milt Madden teaches
US histofy' geared toward emphasizing
characteristics of the history-makers in
a personal view, while Marv Jaegers
offers alternative forms of learning.
This is because they care about you
and what you want to learn. Most
other instructors will work with you in
the same or similar manner.
So if you have come from afar to
attend Lane, I'm sure that you won't
be disappointed. It may also show that
you have selected Lane because she
rates high on the list of community
colleges nationally.
May I encourage you to join a club
and also become involved in student
government. Connie Hood, ASLCC
Secretary will provide you with all the
details. Who knows, you may even
make a new friend.
Once again, I offer congratulations
for choosing LCC and wish you the
most fulfilling year of your life.
Sincerely,
Len Wassam

How to Place an Item on the Senate
Agenda
Since the ASLCC is a STUDENT Association, students are encouraged to use
their student government and communicate with us. We are here to serve you .
One way of serving students is to hear your
sugge-stions, complaints, and concerns
discussed in Senate meetings. To place an
item on the Student Senate agenda you
must do the following:
Put your proposal (idea, discussion item)
in writing, with a written rationale and
state whether the item is for: a) communication to the Senate, to be read by members; b) an action item which you feel
needs the Senate to pass a motion; or c) an
information item to be read and discussed
by the Senate. Action items must include a
recommended motion.
I)

2) Submit the item to the Vice Pfesident or
the Secretary. Items must be received 72
hours prior to the regular Senate meeting.
3) Ask the Secretary for a copy of the
agenda and attend the meeting to answer
any questions and explain your proposal.
If you request a copy of the meeting' s minutes . you can see the official Senate action
a few days later.

KLCC, the 440 watt on-campus
radio station, began its career at LCC
ten years ago when the present
campus site was occupied. the station
is located in the Mass Communication
building but the antenna shares a
tower owned by KFMY on Blanton
,
Heights.
"KLCC is a public service station
first, and an educational tool second,"
explained Roger Wood, public affairs
director.
The broadcasting day begins at 6
a. m. with the "Morning Classisc"
interrupted occasionally by news and
public affairs information.
''We present classical music in a
different setting," Wood said; ''We;re
not playing to the hi-brows and snobs
but to anyone who enjoys listening."
One of their faithful listeners is a
locomotive engineer who listens on a
portable radio in the locomotive cab.

during this time a public affairs item is
broadcast along with pieces of ''specialized news."
The station also presents blues and
soul music in the late evening and on
Sunday morning at 11, Samantha
Gastineau reads children's stories.
"Studio Session," a live music program where the public is welcome, fills
the 9 p.m. time slot on Sunday.
Tom Lichty serves as program
director and a complete program guide
is available at the KLCC office.
Wood said the station needs volunteers, especially journalism students,
in the area of public affairs. But he
emphasized that any volunteer who
walked in the door would be given
some kind of job.

Virginia DeChaine, the station's
general manager, acts as an ''outside,
knowledgeable person who adds another perspective to the station's
"'
operation."
In order to receive the assistance of
a federal grant, the station must
operate 18 hours a day 365 days a year
and have 5 full-time employees. The
catch is that the $18,700 annual grant
doesn't cover the salaries of 5 people
and by mutual agreement the station's
funds from the College have been
drastically reduced.
This means that KLCC must generate some funds of its own in order to
operate and expand. Listeners can
look forward to ·an exciting fund-raising event in the near future.

In 1968, the parents of an Oberlin
College student who was participating
in a hunger strike protesting the Vietnam war got an anonymous letter,
apparantly from a concerned friend of
their son . The letter explained that "a
group of left-wing students who call
themselves the Young Socialist Alliance ... are cynically using Steve (their
son) for purposes that go far beyond
the war.'' The letter asked the parents
to pursuade their son to quit the hunger strike.
The parents thought the letter
"odd" at the tir:ne but did discuss it
with their son.
Only last month did the parents and
their son, today a recently graduated
medical student find out that the
long-forgotten letter had been the
product of the FBI. It all came out
through FBI documents that have
recently been released because of
Freedom of Information Act suits.
The student whose parents received
the letter was not a leader of the
anti-war movement and claims he
didn't know there was a YSA group on

whose parents received a similar
letter, had been mentioned by name in
a newspaper article about the hunger
strike.
The documents show that apparently J. Edgar Hoover personally
approved the phony letters with the
cautionary note: "In making these
mailings, take all necessary steps· to
protect the bureau as the sources of
these letters.''

----~iiiiiiiiiiiliii-e d i tori a 1·~.

~--;;;;;;;;;;;;~liaiiiiliiiii;iliiiiii,.;

Much has been written concerning apathy in recent years. It relates to the
nonchalant indifference that replaced the ''chic'' activisn:i of a few years ago.
This concern is directed mostly toward the general citizenry or student body
and it is easily justified. Most people just don't ,give a damn what
happens outside their own sphere ot intluence.
This was illustrated very clearly at LCC last spring when the ASLCCstudent senate elections interested only 400 people out of twelve thousand.
Its hypocritic and ridiculous for students to be upset with the ineffectiveness
of student government when less than four percent of the students care
enough to vote on who that government will be. It must be very disappointing
to a sincere member of the student government to try and locate those four out
of every 100 students who give a damn about his or her efforts.
It's enough to make you resign. Many have, and sadly, many probably
will.
But there is another more serious kind of apathy: the indifference shown by
many of the elected members of the student goverment to their constituents
and to the responsibility of their job.
Approximately 30 positions were filled in the fall elections last year, and by
the end of the year 25 of those had resigned.

What it all comes down to is this:
Students who want an effective student government have got to give some
input.. .they have to give a damn.
Those who are thinking of running for office should realize that after the
excitement of a campaign there is work to be done.
These aren't high school popularity contests, this is the grown up world and
responsibility goes with the elective office; responsibility to the constituents,
to an opponent, and to the office itself.
Surely there are many variables that could influence a student
government member's.decision to resign, but an attempt should be made to
anticipate negative circumstances before the decision is made to run.
Candidates owe at least that much to an opponent and to those who may vote
for them.
Candidates should realize that there is not a lot of glory to the job. There is
a lot of work to do and not much public recognition for it. But if the work is
done well you will at least gain the respect of your co"ntemporaries and you
might actually achieve something beneficial to the students at LCC. And that
should be one's goal if he or she desires a position in the Student
Government.

~~~~~;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; I e tiers to t be editor
Applauds Student Senate
To the Editor:
Events following the recent shootin~
incident at LCC's Heceta House
demonstrate to me the fact that the
:urrent ASLCC Student Government
does care about improving its own
internal op_erations as well as it~
image. After the incident, some
Senate members told me that if they
had been in my shoes, they would have
called the sheriff or the police; still
'. ".others say that they would have
punched out the caretaker way before
he ever had a chance to climb to the
second story window with his gun; and
still another concedes that he ·or she
would have shot the man. While I did
not have the third option at my
disposal, when immediately after the
incident, I left Heceta House, I had
every intention of not only calling the
sheriff but also of making a front-page
story of the incident in the RegisterGuard (not to mention filing a suit
against Lane Community College).
The fact remains that I still could do
this, but that's not the point.
The point is that it was not me who
decided to take this form of action. It
was the ASLCC as a body who
persuaded me to follow a different
channel. Members of the group
assured me t-hat a fitting end to the
problem would be forthcoming. With
these assurances, I decided to postpone any action on my part.
Moreover, the leadership workshop
sessions which I later attended as an
invited guest may not have happened
if we had chosen to pursue another
course of action at the time. I salute
the ASLCC Student Government not
only for having the courage to "stick it
out'' but for a successful workshop
where the term ''leadership" was
actually discussed and not just brushed under the carpet as many in the
LCC community have seen it handled
by this body in the recent past.

Barry Hood
1973-74 ASLCC President

Responds to shooting To The Editor:
As I feel that the topic of the
following memo from me to Dean
Carter may be of interest to the
campus community, I am submitting it
to the TORCH for publication in its
"letters to the Editor" section.
'' Memo to Jack Carter, Dean of
Students: No doubt you have already
been informed of the rec. problems
Student Senate members encountered
at Heceta House. I am writing this
memo to clear up any misunderstandings you may have about the participants in our September 5, 6, and 7
meeting at Heceta.
''The Student Senate invited all
members and their spouses,and all the
Board members and their spouses for
a get-acquainted workshop. The purpose of the workshop was to get to
know each other better and to feel
relaxed in a pleasant environment.
''ObJiously the weekend was neither relaxed nor pleasant.
It is my
strong feeling that the caretaker
should be relieved of his duties as soon
as possible.
I also think that the
guidelines for use of Heceta House
should be looked over carefully, with
student input to make sure that they
say what is meant and are accurate
reflections of the conduct observed by
administration and Board members at
their attendance at Heceta, and no
separate rules especially for students.
''The group of Senate members
present at the time of the shooting
have agreed to push for the caretaker's
dismissal, in order to insure a better
atmosphere for such meetings in the
future. Also, my ~usband has agreed
with those Senate members not to call
in the police or press formal charges,
either civil or criminal, if the situation
is th us resolved.
I feel th is is
important in light of the bad publicity
which might result to LCC and to the
student government, which we have
no desire to cause, unless it becomes
necessary to protect future groups who
use Heceta House from the rudeness,
extreme temper, danger from gunshot, and the exceeding "bad vibes"
caused by a person who objects to long
hair and young people, and men and
women sleeping together, and a whole
bunch of other things that are none of
his damn business.

~~~;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;~iaiiiiiiiiiiiii

'' I am sure you know I'm angry.
am also disappointed that our weekend
workshop was marred by several unpleasant incidents. But I hope that you
can do something to see that it doesn't
happen to anyone again.
•• fhank you for your consideration of
this matter. This memo is a reflection
of my personal point of view, and in no
way represents any formal action by
,the ASLCC. ''

LCC President welcomes students

Welcome to LCC, and congratulations on choosing to come through the
"open door" that can change your life.
You're here primarily, I assume, to acquire skills that you can use later in the
world of work. But, while you're here, don't sell your future off-the-job life
short. One's future fob will not be his or her whole life. Most people work
about 40 hours a week. During the other hours, you 're citizens, parent or
prospective parents, neighbors, inhabitants of a fragile physical environment,
enjoyers and I or creators of beauty.
Take a course or more each term that will help you learn to communicate
with others, learn how you fit into our energy-short world, the meaning of the
significant experiences of our forbears, some insights into individual and
group behavior, and how to appreciate the various manifestations of beauty.
Your job skills, in a rapidly changing technology, may get outdated. But, if
you've provided yourself with a basis for future growth, you'll be able to grasp
and master new skills needed to keep up and to advance. The latter requires
that you develop the power to adapt to varying career demands. So, be sure
that your training is broader than your ultimate specialization.
Enjoy your learning experience and don't hesitate to alk questions of staff
members. We're all anxious that your stay at LCC be a positive and
productive one. Best wishes.

ASLCC President speaks on Board

This Colege Board makes decisions
that effect every student at Lane. My
opinionis that most of these people are
,oriented toward improving conditions
for student, faculty and staff.
Perhaps it would be to your
advantage to attend a meeting, since
most usually they are public.
AS President of ASLCC I must
usually attend these meetings to
provide input for students. You too
may be valuable if you have an insight
to a particular problem.
If you have information or just a
"gut feeling" about classes that are
overfunded, underfunded, inappropriate for this school, or whatever
relates to your personal sense of
values, please let the Board know.
As I have implied, the Board
consists of well qualified, interested

people but many times a different
perspective is just what the doctor
ordered to come to the best conclusion.
And by the way, don't be afraid that
the Board won't listen or that they feel
more expert. There is no cause for
alarm as these members are "people's
people" and are open to any opinion
whether it be their own or not.
I have attempted to persuade you to
attend a Board meeting and as
President of student government, may
I also invite your participation at
ASLCC meetings.
Also I invite you to apply for
departmental Senator and help maintain continuity with all divisions of our
campus.
Best wishes for a terrific year at Lane!
Len Wassom, ASLCC President
