SPAF users propose.Student body fee hike

by Todd Johnstone
Representative s of LCC programs
funded by student body fees through the
Special Programs and Activities Fund
(SPAF) met last week.
In the meeting they asked Dean of
Students Jack Carter to draft a Boan. of
Education proposal calling for increased
student body fees and calling for a means
to determine on an annual basis the
resources of Student Services, the Health
Service, the TORCH and the Athletic
Program.
As a result, a memorandum drafted by
Carter was sent to the Board. It said:
"Earlier this week I received a recommendation from the SPAF Committee that
the SPAF fee be Increased to a maximum
of $7 .50 for a full-time student [present
maximum Is $5.00].
"Although I am not prepared to make a
final recommendation at this time, It is
obvious that an Increase In fees wW be
required If these programs and activities
are to continue to operate at the present
level. The present fee has been In effect
since 1973 and revenue has not kept pace
with program demands.
In the next few days we wW be reviewing
funding requirements as well as alternative
methods of collecting and administering
these funds. I anticipate being able to
forward my recommendation by the end of
the month."
In a meeting of SPAF users organized by
TORCH Advisor Pete Peterson and
attended by Carter, Peterson, Athletic
Director Robert Radcliff, Health Service
Director Laura Oswalt, ASLCC President
Len Wassom and by Jay Jones, the director
of student services at LCC; it was agreed
by all in attendance that if SPAF funded
programs are to continue at their present
levels then student body fees, the source of
SPAF funding will have to be raised.
Peterson says that an increase in student
body fees is needed and he recommends
that a proposed student body fee increase
be placed before the LCC Board of
Education at the same time as the tuition
increase proposed by the LCC Administration. Peterson says the proposal to
increase student body fees will have a
greater chance for approval if it is placed

before the Board at the same time as the
proposed tuition increase. He argues that
if the Board raises tuition in one session
and then raises student body fees in a later
session, it will be similar to "cutting four
inches of tail off and then cutting another
four inches of tail off'' rather than doing
the job as painlessly as possible.
Peterson reminded the group that in
order to put a proposed student body fee
increase in front of the Board at the same
time as the proposed tuition increase, it
would have to put a statement into the
Board mailing by the next day, which was
last Friday. Peterson asked Carter to draft
the proposal calling for an increase in
student body fees and asked that it be put
into the Boar<!_ mailing.

''Cutting four inches of
tail off and then . . "
Radcliff agreed that an increase in
student body fees is needed and he also
.suggested that the proposal drafted by
Carter include a provision which would
make it possible for student body fees to be
raised on an annual basis to keep pace with
costs which he says rise on an annual basis.
Carter said .h e saw no difficulty in
recommending an annual review of the
capacity of student body fees to support
SPAF programs, but he said he could not at
the present time recommend specific
annual percentage or dollar increases in
student body fees.
And Laura Oswalt characterized
Radcliff' s proposal for an annual review as
an attempt to gain an "automatic
increase'' in student body fees which
would eliminate facing SPAF users with '' a
year to year crisis.''
Jay Jones, in a later interview, said he
could not recommend either a student body
fee increase or an annual review of student
body fees. He said he feels that !!udent
input should determine whether the Board

The LCC Administration, supporting a proposal by Dean of Students Jack Carter, has
recommended to the LCC Board of Education that LCC adapt a 12-hour definition of full
time students and that tuition be increased to $126 per term for full time students and to
$10.50 per credit hour per term for part time students.
Carter says he made his recommendation to the Administration in an attempt to have
tuition funds pay 20 per cent of the total operating costs of LCC. He says the Board has
indicated that it feels students should pay 20 per cent of LCC's operating costs.
This recommendation is scheduled to be acted upon by the Board in tonight's Board

"Greetings,
As a group of persons who have been
intere~ted and involved in the future of
listener-sponsored and controlled radio in
Eugene, we congratulate you on the
Ci1mpletion of your recent successful
m:1rathon fund drive. We feel confident
rhat your new higher power operation will

·~nhance the education and enlightenment
>f all the diverse elements of the Eugene"i pri ngfi el d community who have so
~enerously supported this physical renovation.
We earnestly await evidence that KLCC
realizes and acts on its reciprocal responsibility to the community which supports it
by soliciting and implementing listener
participation in the programming and
management of the radio station. We
expect that as an immediate result of your
aggressive pursuit of listener involvement,
\'Our programming would evolve to reflect

~- Local women's issues.
L Local transportation planning.
L Local population growth.
Local economy and unemployment.
6. Migrant labor in Oregon.

7. Cultural programming of a non-musical

8. Aggressive, in depth, locally originated

9. Local housing and real estate situation.
10. Non-musical thir world/ gay programming.
11. Issues related to family farming in
Oregon.
We look forward to seeing these
concerns reflected in KLCC's programming and management in the immediate
future.
There are some basic considerations
involved in arriving at these goals; KLCC,
as a facility licensed to a community
college, owes its first allegiance to that

community.

Any format or ideal which

conflicts with that allegiance should
receive little consideration. In respect to
that allegiance, KLCC has subscribed to
the criteria established by the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting; specifically, at
least one-half of KLCC's broadcast day is
devoted to public affairs, cultural, or
educational offerings.
Additionally, Lane Community College
recognizes KLCC's function as a valuable
student training device. In this respect,
student involvment is actively encouraged,
in all facets of station operation.
Above all, the goals outlined above habe
been carefully considered, both in statement and order. All operational decisions
involving the station, whether major or
minor, shall follow the philosophy above.

Senator calls for resignations staff

To the Editor, LCC TORCH
The students of Lane Community
College have a right and obligation to know
and understand what is happening in the
ASLCC Senate.
Senator-At-Large, Richard Leclair, has
sponsored a resolution which will do away
with the requirement that the advisor to
the Senate and the Kirector of Student
Activities, presently Jay Jones, be one and
the same. The rationale for this move is
that until the Senate is given full control
over expenditure of funds assigned to it by
SPAF (which also must go in its time), it
cannot represent the students. Redefining
the person required to be Advisor to the
Senate is step one; step two is redefining
the position itself so that the advisor simply
checks the accuracy of vouchers for
expenditures of funds as is required by
state laws, but without veto power over the
Either the ASLCC Senate
Senate.
represents the students (no matter how few
students participated in elections) or it
doesn't. Presently it can't. If the Leclair
resolution does not pass, the entire Senate
should resign making the situation consistent with the facts and leaving the
college without a Senate which is not
permissable if the college is to receive
certain funds it needs to operate.

Secondly, Senator-At-Large, Michael
Parry has intorduced a resolution calling
for the redefinition of the roll of the
Advisor to the Senate to be consistent with
the Leclair resolution and furthermore
calling for the resignation of all paid
members of the LCC Community administrators, faculty and staff. Under the
resolution, to continue the services they
perform, assuming they are essential
services, they would have the option to
enroll as students, continue what they are
now doing and contribute their earnings to
the people's council or similar workers
fund which would provide food, clothing,
shelter, care, recreation and transportation and communications for all the
students.
Given the social-economic situation ,of a
pot-smoling youth graduating into an
decadent
inflation/high-unemployment
capitalist system espoused by the straight
older generation, violent revolution is only
a matter of time unless the radical change
advocated by the Parry resolution is
adopted, and if it is not, the only choice left
is for the entire student body to organize a
strike and attend only those classes where
the instructors support this total change.

Greetings:
Today, as I conclude many of the
materials necessary for KLCC' s application
to tlie Federal Communications Commission for the 10,000-watt Buckawatt project,
your letter of November 10 again crosses
my mind and prompts a reply:
On page one, section II of KLCC's policy
book the philosophy of the station's
operation is outlined item by item. The
philosophy is a carefully considered,
worded, and ordered statement, for it
proclaims the operating parameters and
standards of KLCC not only for the
present, but for four years in the past and
many years in the future as well. (A copy
of that philosophy follows.)
Item one of that philosophy requests that
KLCC function professionally. No program
is broadcast, no employee is hired without
assurance of that program's or that
employee's professionality. In short, my
primary effort at KLCC is to quality control
everything we do. No matter how good the
concept, if it isn't done well, it doesn't go
on the air.
Enough preface. Your letter states that
you '' expect that as an immediate result of
your aggressive pursuit of listener involvement, your programming would evolve to
reflect the diverse program concerns of this
community." KLCC's concern with
community issues is an ongoing progress
and I see no reason for that concern to
change in the future. But the results are
not immediate. Indeed, quite the opposite
is true; in order for KLCC to present an
examination of any community issue fairly,
accurately, and completely the program
vehicle--including its producer, the equipment used, and the resources examined-takes time in development and financing.
It is not KLCC' s practice to jump into an
issue quickly and broadcast an examination
that is imcomplete in preparation or
presentation.
Do not get the impression that KLCC is

mentioned. Our women's program is

the equipment and are now seeking
underwriting for a weekly musical program
series from the Truck Stop, in hopes that
we might revive a vehicle for exposure of

amateur musical talent in the community
similar to that offered by KZEL's Farmer's
Almanac of the Air, which used to be
broadcast from the Odyssey.
And, as always, we solicit community
participation in KLCC's program production. (Producers for all of the programs
I've mentioned above were drawn from the
community; none from internal sources.)
The offer for participation has been
extended to some of you personally before.
It still stands.
Thank you for your interest in KLCC.
We share your concern about community
issues and are pursuing them will all the
resources at our disposal.

SECTION II
The Philosophy:
1. KLCC functions professionally. It maintains a full-time broadcast schedule and a
full-time, professional staff to assure the
highest professional quality. A further
definition of professionality is contained in
Section IV, Program Standards Required
by the Public Affairs Department, and
Section V, Program Standards Required by
the Music Department.$
2. KLCC serves as a vehicle for community
representation and communication. This
frequently means nothing more than
community service announcements. On
other occasions, however, it means major
program blocs devoted to minority viewpoints and interests, or word-for-word
coverage of community events, or special
segments devoted to community expression. See Section IV, Program Standards
Required by thge Public Affairs Department.
3. KLCC serves its community as an
appealing alternative to other electronic
communication media. Achieving an
alternative isn't difficult: no one else is
playing Korean folk songs at 2:30 a.m.
Tuesday mornings. But achieving an
appealing alternative is the goal. Such
alternatives are usually not profitable for
commercial stations, and frequently appeal
to a smaller, discriminating audience
rather than a mass quantity.
4. KLCC serves as a means of vocational
exp~rience for community volunteers and
students enrolled in the Radio Broadcasting laboratories. A distinct attempt,
however, is made to avoid the "sandbox"
approach; rather, goal number 1, above, is
considered in selecting volunteer operators
and format design.
5. KLCC serves as a vehicle for artistic
and/ o..r electronic innovation. Experimentation is encouraged on behalf of students
as well as staff.

class: Don't

can it just dry it
One way to beat the problem of finding
jar lids for home canning is to preserve
food by drying it.
Lane Community College Education
Division will offer a five-week class, held
on Saturday mornings, on the home food
dryer. Students in this new class will
assemble their own home food dryer from
pre-cut parts and learn about food drying
times, recipes, and safety operating
factors. At the close of the class, each
student will take home a food dryer.
Pre-registration is required for the class
and interested students may sign up in the
Community Education Division. The
class will be held, beginning Saturday,
Jan. 10 , from 9 a.m. to noon in the
woodshop, which is located in the Industrial Technical Building.
Tuition for the class is $8 with a supply
fee of $42 necessary to complete the food
dryer project.
Most foods can be dried including fruits
(fruit leather) , vegetables, meats (meat
jerky) and fish. Next summer the food
dryer can preserve and eliminate waste
from home garden grown foods.

Security field thriving
As job opportunities in most fields
continue to spiral downward with the
economy, one area where job opportunities are increasing by leaps and bounds
is the security and loss prevention field,
according to an LCC law enforcement
instructor, John Kocher.
At a Thursday, Dec. 4 meeting of the
LCC Security and Loss Prevention Advisory Committee, committee member Steve
Doty, president of the Eugene based
Challenge Security Inc., pointed out that
he had started his company ten years ago
with just six employees, and now has over
600. Doty commented that such rapid
growth is common throughout the private
security industry.
The LCC Security and Loss Prevention
Advisory Committee is made up of LCC
staff members and community professionals in the fields of law enforcement and
private security.

Instructor John Kocher says that ·by 1980
.there will be more private police than
public police in the United States. He
gives two reasons for this increase in
private police.

•In public law enforcement the emphasis is
on investigation and apprehension after
the crime has occured, whereas in private
security the emphasis is on preventing
crime from occuring.
•As the overall crime rate increases, public
police are finding themselves so busy they
must concentrate more on the violent
crimes such as assault; murder, rape, etc.
However crime against businesses, such as
burglary, vandalism, and the theft of
industrial secrets, is also increasing.
Consequently, Kocher says, "More and
more firms are taking security upon
themselves and installing security personnel in areas previously without.''
According to Kocher 52 different occupations exist in the security field--and Kocher
says LCC graduates can specialize in all of
them. Such areas as hotel security and
airport and airline security all have unique
problems and require specialized tra~ni~g.
For instance, says Kocher, an atrhne
security trainee would learn about prevention of cargo theft and skyjacking where a
hospital security trainee would concentrate
more on drug control and the prevention of
sophisticated lab equipment theft.

that students wilJ be hurt if they are not
forced to support SPAF Programs.
Peterson likened student body fees to taxes
and said he does not like to pay taxes , but
that if he were not forced to pay taxes he
would lose state, city and federal services.
Jones countered Peterson' s argument by
saying that taxpayers have elections to
express their opinions while students c~n
only exercise their opinion by attending or
not attending school.
Earlier in the meeting Peterson countered this view by saying that even the city
can raise taxes within a six per cent
limitation without an election.
Wassom said that "students don't like
the SPAF committee" and suggested that
SPAF Programs be put on an independent
self-supporting basis and that SPAF
Programs be publicized so that students
can understand and become familiar with
the services they are receiv.ing from these
programs.

(CPS)--A new contraceptive
which prevents fertilization of the
egg through the use of several,
safe organic chemical inhibitors
has been developed at the
University of Georgia.
A University biochemist, Dr.
William L. Williams, And his
colleagues discovered chemical
agents that can be used to
prevent the sperm from peretrating egg without upsetting the
natural hormone cycle of the
body.
According to Williams, the
contraceptive will be immune to
most of the drawbacks of regular
contraceptives such as menstrual
irregularities, fluid retention,
gastric disturbances, irriyability
and headaches.

are happening up at Last Chant. I'ze

describes our actions of everyday existence
as academic choristers. Every breath is a
change of air or smoke or what have you.
Now, I'm sure that a lot of students took
a gander at their Fall Term grades and
besides the folk who were goin' "Well
la-dee-da, '' there were us other ones who •
said "Oh shitty pie" and either pulled up
stakes or grabbed the nearest New Years
Eve and did some heavy resolutin'.
I came to that solution Dec 31 amongest
a delicious spread of cheese, crackers,
pickled prawns and a pony keg of
Michelobe. I said to myself, "Self, if you is
goin' to be a successful student you're
goin' to hafta pull all your marbles in and
make sure no one has stolen your steelie."
My self says back to me in quite anxious
tones, "The time is nigh. So some
resolutin', build a constitution, join the
institution, quit your high recruitin', study
for certain with no more desertin' or
chasin' skirts 'n' feedin' quirks 'n' ... "and
on and on like that into the night until a
friend walked up to me and stepped on my
foot causin' my self to drop the subject for
others more immediate. Such as why my
friend was wearing football shoes at a New

Years Eve party.
I was again absorbed in tryin' to find a
good solid resolution to make for the new
year when the "doctor" finished
bandaging my cleated foot. The "doctor"
was this buxom blonde veterinarian and
seein' how we was both vets , (me fo the GI
ilk), I found I could confide in her.
Well the first thing she recommends is
seein' a shrink, but I tells her I've already
been shrunk twice and that I won't be able
to wear any of my clothes if it happens
agains. That was a-okay with her and she
tightened her grip on my ankle and
suggested I see a school councelor and let
him help me out of my world of scholastic
woes.
I agreed with that and made it my first
resolution. After that it was easy. You
make one resolution and the rest start
flowing like the Michelobe. The three of
us, me, myself and the blonde vet sat in a
back room away from the party, comin' up
with all sorts of good resolutions, as the
clock ticked away towards that golden
hour.
I swore I would never be tardy,. never
miss a class, in sickness or in health, study
at least three hours a day, sell my soul for
books and tools, use the right approach on
all my teachers, keep myself mentally
awake and morally straight, to help other
people at all times and to ignore the trout
law.
These were just openers. Six beers and

when I reached my limit. I felt supreme
and devoured an entire blue cheese ball in
my enthusiasm to begin exercising these
new restraints and conditions. I even
vowed not to give Alphonso a hard time.
I woke up New Years Day in my own bed
for some strange reason. My hounds were
howling outside at some zany inconsiderate
wood pecker that was beatin' up a storm on
a hollow oak right outside my window. My
room smelled like a Limburger processing
plant, but my resolutions were as safe as
could be, written down on the inside of a
cracker box by the lady of the night before.
I crawled out of the sack and posted them
on the wall still vowing to see everyone of
the demons through.
And I did keep all of them, at least until
the third, when I had to cross off my Wild
Turkey resolution because the liquor store
was closed on the first. That was fair
anyway.
Alphonso came over later and helped me
consume a large portion ·of that fifth. I
made some crack about wearing a trench
coat with the trousers cut off above the
knees and Alphonso crossed ''keeping
morally straight" off my 1st. I punched
him for assaulting the list and he deleted
my resolution concerning my treatment
•
of him.
As the evening wore on the drunker I got
and the more my list dwindled. Every so
often, Alphonso would get up from his
chair and tell me I didn't know what would
happen in the future and then he'd scratch
out another of my resolutions until there
wasn't one left. I got so irrate that I shoved
the cracker box down the back of
Alphonso's pants and booted him out the
door.
Course, I regretted it the next day and I
~alled him up and apologized and he said it
wasn't nothin' and that he had my
resolution for me and that he 'd bring it
over that night.
He arrived at the same time I was gettin'
back from the store with grits and a short
case of Blatz. He was drivin' a ton and a
half flatbed with a long sheet draped parcel
in the back.
I asked him what it was .and he told me it
was my resolution for the new year. One
that would improve my scholastic
endeavors 100 per cent and without predetermining the future.
I guffawed, but when he unveiled it I got
his point. What he had for me was a long
wooden plank with three words carved in
foot high letters on one side. He helped me
nail it to the wall near my studying desk
and I turned him on to a beer or two in
reward for his earnest aid.
That's the best resolution I've ever had
and even now as I write this for you folks I
glance up at it from time to time to read the
carved inscription: Learn, Think, Act.
And we do, you and I, we must 'cause goin'
to school wouldn't make any sense if we
didn't, and that's the truth.
I'd like to rap at you some more but I
gotta go cop me down a hollow oak tree.
You'll be hearin' from me.

college.
A congressional crackdown on the food
stamp program has followed reports by the
Agriculture Department and other groups
showing that millions of dollars in aid each
year go to to persons who aren't really
eligible. About $246 million was estimated
to have been either overpaid to persons
legitimately collecting food stamps or
given to persons not eligible at all.
To legislators with constituencies angered by inflation and tired of subsidizing
welfare programs, the $5.2 billion doled
out to 19 million Americans is a likely place
to begin trimming welfare payments.
A bill introduced by Sen. George
McGovern (D-SD) and Sen. Robert Dole
(D-KS) would eliminate an estimated 1.5
million people from the food stamp rolls by
setting the maximum allowable income for
a family of four at $7776 per year.
President Ford's recommendation to Con-

gress would set the maximum allowable
income for a family even lower, at $6250.
Ford promises that his proposal could slash
3.4 million people from food stamp roJls.
By setting the allowable income for
eligibility at the poverty level of $5050 per
year and allowing another $100 per month
to cover incidental expenses, the government could save $1.2 billion on food stamps
each year, Ford claims.
However, others aren't so sure that the
poverty level for a family of four is $5050.
While Ford calls that the officially
recognized standard of. poverty in the
country, the Bureau of Lavor Statistics
judged that the minimal budget for a
family of four was about $9200 per
year-about $4,000 more than Ford's figure.
Students and other recipients still
eligible should have some more time to
cash in under the old plan . The new bilJs
have been introduced and reported to
committee , but more hearings and floor
action should have t~ wait until next year.
