COMMUNITY COLLEGE paget) @01. 13 No. 18 February 13, 1976 Full time student to pay $126 LCC Board votes 4-3 to up tuition photo by Jeff Hayden The Board refused to postpone decision on tuition hike despite efforts by the Coalition of Concerned Citizens. by Mike McLain The Coalition of Concerned Citizens (CCC) lost its battle against a tuition increase at LCC last Wednesday when the Board of Education voted in favor of a 26 per cent tuition hike. But members of the group vowed to continue the war by working for defeat in the upcoming budget elections slated for April 20. "We're going to fight the budget again and again and we're going to defeat it," warned CCC member and LCC veteran's representative Michael Roche during the meeting. The CCC was formed two weeks ago to work against the proposed increase and included representatives from most of LCC's student groups. But following the Board ruling, CCC Facilitator Robert McMasters said, "We intend to broaden our coalition to embrace the entire community'' in preparation for the election. Wednesday evening's standing-room-only meeting was repeatedly interrupted with applause and jeers as each Board member argued for or against the increase. Following the defeat of a motion by Board member Jim Martin to table the matter until "we can put together a budget that has the support of the people who attend this college,'' the Board voted 4-3 in favor of the Administration's recommendation to up tuition by $26 per term. • Board member Catherine Lauris expressed her dissent saying, "We're going to price ourselves right out of the market for the people we were meant to serve." The increase, which includes a change in definition of full-time from 10 to 12 hours to be assessed at the rate of $10.50 per credit hour resulting in $126 for a full-time student, will go into effect fall term, 1976. The previous rate was $10 per hour for 10 hours and a maximum of $100. An Administration spokesman said the tuition hike was necessary in order to comply with the Board policy that student revenues comprise approximately 20 per cent of the total operating budget. There has been no tuition increase for two years and the spokesman said that even with tl}e increase student revenues may be less than 20 per cent next year. LCC' s proposed operating budget for the 1976-77 year is approximately $14.8 million, an increase of almost $3 million from last year. According to a spokesman, the increase is due to an 11.34 per cent inflation factor and an anticipated 4.5 per cent growth expectancy. continued on back cover.

Mand atory fees adde d to tuition by Mike McLain The total tuition for a full-time student at LCC next fall will be $130.80 as a result of the Board's abolishing the Special Program Activities Fund (SPAF) and tacking the majority of the mandatory fees onto just increased tuition at last Wednesday's Board meeting. But the action will eliminate the $5.00 mandatory fee that students now pay. In a move that Dean of Students Jack Carter says ''will significantly improve' the budget visibility and will clarify, budget authority and responsibility," the Board voted unanimously in favor of including the fees into the general budget. Prior to the vote, Journalism Instructor and TORCH Adviser Pete Peterson asked for and recei¥ed assurance from the Board that it would develop a written guarantee of continued support for the three student services affected by the budget reshuffle. Under the reorganization, the budgets for Athletics, Health Services and the TORCH will be raised by charg- ing -students 40 cents per credit hour and adding this to tuition. It is· estimated that this will generate approximately $78,000 to $80,000. In addition the revenue from the bookstore which previously went into the SPAF account will now go into the general budget, to bring the total for the three services to approximately $92,000. The budgets for the three former :sPAF users who will divide this amount .have yet to be formalized. The budget for the Associated Students of LCC (ASLCC), the fourth beneficiary of the now defunct SPAF committee, will sti11 be generated by a mandatory student body fee with the amount yet to determined. It was Peterson's concern that "somewhere down the road, you (or a future Board) may forget what the money was for,'' if it was induded into the 8eneral fund. He also urged the Board to reject the proposal because it allowed for not student input, but added that if the Board accepted the recommendation it set up a policy to "protect these monies." • LCC President Eldon Schafer agreed. "l do sense the danger. • These are funds from students to support their services and they should be protected. "The Board needs to set up a structure that would allow for student i0put for the budgets," he added. although the Board took no action on this at Wednesday's meeting. The budgets for the three services will be contained in a special "Enterprise" account separate from any of the departments. And unlike the previous budgetary process where any unspent funds at the end of the year were returned to the general budget, the money will now carry over into the next year's budget. The SPAF committee was created in 1974 and consisted of three faculty representatives and three students with the Director of Student Activities as Chairer. Prior to this the fees were channeled into the ASLCC for allocation to fo,_ users. ~,f page 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - ' - - - - - - - - - - - "'r~r 1 Community groups raise Guatemalan aid The University of Oregon chapter of Ananda Marga, a national social organization, is planning bake sales and movies to help 'raise money for Guatemalan relief Members of the group are also manning collection tables on the campus and on the Eugene Mall, according to member Michael Twombly.

[Forum is a facility for opinions of those not associated with the 'iORCHJ As the end of the war in Angola seems to be drawing near, a victory on the side of the .Ctommunist backed forces, the MPLA becomes more apparent each day. The fighting in Angola caused me concern in the fact that the progression following the liberation from Portugal on November 11 last year seemed to resemble greater similarities to other wars and political struggles. The involvement of the CIA brought special concern--! thought-here we go again, more CO\ ert activities, perhaos another military coup as was staged in Chile (which incidentally culminated in one of the worst atrocities of any political struggle--the terrorism of the junta!!!). Also the fact that mercenaries were fighting in Angola brought to mind many questions: This, paralleled by the CIA involvement raised a big question - were any ot the Western-backed mercenaries from America? If so, who recruited them? Who pays their $1,500 monthly salary? I he an~-\',, crs Ct ,me from every direction--television, newspapers. and students--one such student repli-~d to the classified ad in the Wall Street Journal about two months ago, which read somewhat as follows: ·' ... young single men between the ages of 25 and 30 with prior military experience, who want a chance for real adventure overseas, with high pay ... ... Write P.O. Box??, San Francisco, CA 96432?, for more information." The '>fUdent tole me he has received no reply as yet. The New York 1 me~ in November came out with President Ford's $20 million aid to Angola. Secretary Kissinger criticizing Otis Pike and his "McCarthyism" in the CIA investigation by the Senate. Then, on February 5, NBC crews came out with this report: ''President Ford and Secretary Kissinger blocked any further publications of the Senate investigation of the CIA.'' Kissinger again accusing the Pike Committee of McCarthy tactics against the CIA. There had pre ·. iou~ly been scant reports of CIA involvement in Angola which, as I recall. was neith .. r proved or disproved. But when the report or rumor came out of CIA money. going to recruit mercenaries in other countries, i.e., Great Britain, France and South Africa~ th i· CiA boldly denied these reports. The CIA had again succeeded in insulting the intdlig,:nce of the American public. The fact is that tht CIA cannot operate in the U.S. So how is it that ads appear in U.S. newspapers to recru it people for adventure and high pay overseas?? Here's how: The CIA with such a rcr-utation for international espionage has been operating in foreign countries with the u-;e of American money for a good many years now (I don't know exactly how many). So it is only par for the course when political unrest stirs in other countries the CIA automatically asc;umes the role of International police force to "oppose the threat of Communism'' in other countrie-s. The first step is mil itary advisors sent to the country in question--then the full use of the military. But since tt~c Vietnam War and the loss of Gung-ho military leaders like "Dug out Doug'' MacArthur. Louder protests 0y the youth in this country against ''that kind of American involvement here to date have brought about a new method (or maybe just different -- nothing is new about war) for the CIA to use to fight Commies--the media to recru ;t mercenaries from other countries. One month ago, there were over 1,000 ex-American marines and ex-Vietnam veterans fighting in Angola as mercenaries making $1,300-$2,000 monthly. Not to mention 20,000 South African troops <1d\ ancing farther No1ih from the Southern border of Angola to confront the MPLS ba( kcd with Soviet weapPns and fighting alongside the 10,000 Cuban soldiers who also iden; ify 1dth the role of MPLA. If the American Gov1~rnment perceives av.did threat from Communism in the balance of world power now, it shnuld confront the problem at the source rather than piddling arou net with irrelevant f. 1 nl ish games of coven of subversive activities if the CIA can wake up lo ng enough to dist1 :1g uish a valid threat frl)m playing games.

After the meeting I suggested to Jim Frank that if we kept this up Eldon would make us stay after school - Jim's eruptive response with many expletives was that he had already spent enough time in detention hall to cover the rest of the students for the rest of their normal lives, or something to that effect. Exaggeration, no doubt, but characteristic of the mood of the students after the Board's pointed lesson in democracy Amerikan Style. Some six or eight "student leaders," we were called, addressed the Board, all giving valid reasons why the Board should examine other ways of raising revenue before passing the Administrationproposed increase. The way it was handled, where one party-the Administration-proposes and the Board rubber-stamp approves is what textbooks in political science point to as signs of a fascistic consciousness arising. Of course, as usual, the textbooks are wrong when it comes to specific instances such as this one - in this case, it is obvious that fascism is here in the U.S.A. and anybody who heard Bill Kuntsler speak after the rape of the rights in court of the Chicago Seven by Judge Hoffman will not deny it. The only point I can make in this letter relative to the statements made at the Board meeting treats the one I made since I am most familiar with my own rhetoric: The feeling a person must have as he is being hit by a bulldozer is that, "th\s can't be happening to me" and I am sure that I share with many, perhaps all, students at LCC that feeling as the Board mowed us down without any acknowledgment of our objections to the tuition increase (which, when examined in ·he light of democratic republicanism, .nust be properly labeled a particularly onerous form of taxation without representation). Even though I stated that there was no choice but to disrupt the meeting or get run over, we thought right up to the vote, some of us, that the Board would vote down the increase (I can hear political observers the county over yawning at our naivete'). When I asked the Chairman Brauer to give us assurance that the motion for the increase would be withdrawn or tabled, he sneered that he would give no such assurance, meaning that our other choice was the only one as it did in fact work out. Although unseemly behavior caused some students to say let's see what happens. we already knew. As one last try I decided to inject some humor into the meeting just before tlie vote and after we had been given our twenty minutes to present the kiddies side of the question of an increase in tuition. I was ruled out of order and never got a chance to get the Board to laugh a bit. What I had in mind saying. was that we sympathized with their problem in getting recognition for the varsity athletic teams here in good ole 'Capitalist Amerika. The problem is that they need a good PR man and I was going to offer my services free of charge. As an opener I would wage a campaign to have LCC renamed Lane Commie College and then LCC would no longer have to take back seat to the Ducks and other easy-to-remember animal names to refer to the athletic teams. Why Lane Commie College? why? because right in the midst of basketball season we could rename the team the Kommiecollege Kids. Of course before taking the position I would ask Jack Scott how things were at Oberlin which has a more liberal administration than LCC. There is no excuse for the Boards of Education of the land to ask college and university students to take the brunt of the inflationary impact of the negative effect of diminishing returns built into the capitalist system by its habit of permitting usury banking to take place so that year by year the workers who produce all the goods comprise only 20 per cent of the people and receive less and less while the administrators vote themselves salary hikes. It is now time for all Boards of Education to consider turning on, tuning in and dropping out of the old dying capitalist order and enter the New Order for the Ages prophesied on the great seal of the United States by making of their institutions great schools of experiences for all the people. I could go on, but it's already written down and available through me and other members of the One World Family Commune here in Eugene and elsewhere. Simply said: Roll back the tuition increase; Restructure the colleges <1nd universities, share all things common, serve one another without a wage, celebrating as we provide for ourselves abundant living for all on one high standard!

"I thinks it's important to note that the entire company was very pleased with the show," said George Lauris, LCC theatre instructor and director of the production. The tour was financed by a $950 grant from the Oregon Arts Commission and the federal National Endowment of the Arts, for which Lauris applied last November. He said he applied for the grant because he felt that the play merited more productions, because it would be a worthwhile program a big success by Sally Oljar '' Blow the Whistle on a Rapist,'' was the theme of project WhistleStop, a week-long program selling whistles and providing information about rape to LCC women. The project was sponsored by the Women's Awareness Center, along with the Lane Interagency Rape Team and the U of O Women's Resource and Referral Center. The Center feels that through community awareness, concern and cooperation, a whistle can be an effective device to "summon for help." The project spokespeople say in a rape situation the whistle can be a summons, or if a person sees someone in trouble it can be a signal that she '11 be IQ Ven assistance. "We've sold almost all our whistles, and response has been good,'' said Joanie Moore, project coordinator at LCC. "A ~histle is a tool . . . rape prevention encompasses much . . . self-defense techniques, etc." Moore advises women to wear a whistle around their neck or wrist--to keep it in a handy place, but not a purse or a backpack. At the first sign of trouble, blow and keep blowing until help arrives. Anyone hearing a whistle, should blow a response to signal assistance, then go for help. The whistle is small and easier to handle than some other protective devices. The Lane Interagency Rape Team stresses common sense. to keep out of what might be a dangerous situation. Along with selling whistles, the Awareness Center last week provided handouts about self-protection from rape. A list of other legal protective devices was pub1i shed which included spray paint, ammonia squeeze bottles, tear gas, and mace, and also noted the positive and negative effects of each. Tips for protection at home, while traveling alone, hitch-hiking, and walking alone are available. The Women's Awareness Center provides counselling and referral for rape victims. A list of emergency phone numbers is available from the Center for rape victims, plus all information published for the project. Whistles can be purchased at the Center for 75 cents. Money from sales will be used to buy more whistles. Local merchants have also sponsored the project and are selling whistles at stores in the Eugene area--a list of participating stores selling them is available at the Center. More whistles will be ordered if the supply is depleted. The idea of WhistleStop originated in Boulder. Colorado. Moore said the project was successful in helping to combat the high ,incidence of rape in the area. "The Center would like to sponsor the campaign every year to provide reinforcement,'' Moore said. "The program in Boulder lost some of its impact from lack of reinforcement," she said. Lunchtime study .discouraged a by Minnie Pacheco A petition asking for restricted use of the cafeteria between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. will bring results this week, said Fred Goodwin, LCC Food Services director (who is contracted through Manning's Inc.). The petition was signed by students and staff. Signs are being posted this week in the cafeteria indicating "No Studying" areas between the hours of 11 a. m. and 1:30 p.m., said Goodwin. According to Goodwin, some students are using the cafeteria for studying purposes, making seating scarce for those who arrive to eat lunch. He also stated that he realizes there are very few places students can go to eat and study at the same time. Sharon Cuddie, Health and Physical Education secretary, told the TORCH that students do not have a good place to go where they may eat and study at the same time but at times it is impossible to find a place to sit in the cafeteria. She said students need more places where they can meet to study and eat at the same time. Jerry Robison, a i>tudent at LCC, told the TORCH that there is no place on campus where a student may go to eat, study and smoke except in the cafeteria. Robison also said that students who do use the cafeteria for studying should not take up more than one space with their books in order to give space to those who are eating in the cafeteria. Goodwin said he hopes that the signs wiP benefit all those using the cafeteria, and help to make better table usage. - - - - - -- - the rock hut ' I I 1257main st. springfield I I I •I I ---g,,r -- - - - - - - ~ lR.OA&TlNG Fm:SHCOFF N Veterans-Do you need a part-time job that doesn't interfere with classes?

Both performances closed to standing ovations from the predominantly Black audiences. The Friday and Saturday night shows were free to the public--Lauris feels that the public had already paid for the tour through the state and federal grants. ''It would be redundant to ask them to pay for it again," he said, adding that he also did not want to be responsible for the cashbox that goes along with charging admissions.

What that adds up to is a figure in the vicinity of $30,000, out of a •otal operating budget of $75,000, which KLCC will have to come up with on its own. ''The question is. can we make $30,000 ,n grants. program underwriting, and marathons,'' says Lichty. KLCC. 91.3 on the FM dial. already the receives a yearly grant from Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), of about S:20.000. Lichty secured the CPB grant on his own. But in spite of facing a possible $30,000 deficit, Lichty has high hopes that KLCC ,viii secure the needed funds, which will help support the five full time employees. and "various program aquisitions." "So far, it feels good--1 think eventually it will get to support one-half its own expense," Lichty says. Lichty went on to project that KLCC may be "supporting 75 per cent of its budget in a couple years.·' But are the methods of securing these funds ample methods? Marathons, as KLCC has proven, can be a very good method for procuring funds. Lichty hopes that they will be able to raise $20,000 on marathons during the coming vear. But the last marathon, held in October, 1975, was held to raise money for the sole purpose of purchasing a new 10,000 watt transmitter. And the Federal Communicarions Commission (FCC) will not be acting on KLCC's transmitter application until June. With the possibility that the new transmitter mw not be installed until late fall of this year, KLCC may find itself asking the publ~c to support a 440 watt station to which the public has already paid $10.000 to obtain 10,000 watts of power. But Lichty feels that the FCC will act in time. "lfthe FCC acts promptly in June, it should pass,'· he says. The transmitter will help KLCC to raise its own money by reaching a wider listening audience. According to Lichty, listener sponsored '.·adio is a relatively new thing. ''The concept of public radio is only about 1 l /2 years old," says Lichty, ·'and rhere aren't many people who know about it." The idea for the marathon came from Steve Post of station KBAI in New York. KBAI is one of two total listener sponsored radio stations in that city. Lichty followed in Post's footsteps. besides having him on hand, and turned the marathon into a success. ''The CPB has been watching us-- a lot of stations have been raising money on the air during the last year. KLCC was rated #4 in producing funds per capita per population (during the marathon)" says Lichty. And in its wake three marathons of various sorts have cropped up in the Eugene area since. Along with marathons and various grants and donations from the community, Lichty sees program underwriting as a definite means of support. Program underwriting is similar to advertising. ''Certain companies will underwrite some of our programs, and they get their name mentioned on the air," says Lichty, "but no products are advertised on KLCC. But it remains to be seen as to whether KLCC can compete in a tough market and "In terms of commercial survive. broadcasting, KLCC's program underwriting will make no friends with other commercial radio stations." Lichty says, "Everybody's in this business to survive, and we're up there grappling with everybody else.'' One of those everybody elses is Stan Garrett, Station Manager of KZEL, a local FM station. He th inks listener 5ponsored radio is good, but doesn't give it much of a chance for survival in an area such as Eugene. "Listener sponsored radio is a great idea,'' says Garrett. It makes you directly responsible to your audience only. It takes the pressure off, lowers your budget." ''But," he continues, "you end up hyping your money needs on the air. Two or three times an hour you're asking people to pay for something they can get for free--by turning the radio dial. "I don;t see how a town this size can support it,'' concludes Garrett, ''there aren't enougr, people.'' Dan Slater, Director of Station Operations at KW AX. the U of O station, also feels that a larger audience will be needed for KLCC to make a go of listener sponsorship. "With listener support you have to be in a large metropolitan area to generate enough listeners to support the operation," Slater says. And although it is not likely that KWAX will be faced with the same financial problems that KLCC may have to undertake (KW AX is primarily supported by the U of 0), Slater would like to see KLCC make it as a public radio station. ''The concept of it is good,'' says Slater, •'because people are partaking in a public interest thing. That's what it's all about. "It would be an accomplishment if he (Lichty) gets 75 per cent of their budget." Slater says. ''I'd like to see KLCC do it, just to see if it can be done.'' And the people involved in public radio in the Eugene area are beginning to see the need for some kind of organization. The four local public radio stations. KLCC, KWAX, KRVM and KOAC AM and Television of Corvallis, pooled their resources in a meeting on Tuesday, Feb 17, 1976. Competition being stiff as it is, the stations will discuss various aspects of program development which will help the stations to coordinate their programming so as to not overlap one another. "We'll form a central group to coordinate station activities to avoid conflicting KLCC's crew during Fall term, 1975 "Buckawatt" marathon when they raised over $10,000 photo by Scott Stuart .\ -- ~ ,- - - .• -;.7-; I I ------- ---- ' ., ,, . ..,, I '1 . : ;:...,:: ,, :- ' --·- ,;:,-.,-- ~-- t,,, - --n - ' ... times. support group activities ... KW AX is not going to compete with KLCC. It would be suicide to have overlapping programming," says Slater. Internally, KLCC will undergo some management changes. "We're restructuring the whole station," says Lichty, "but it won't affect KLCC much." On March 29, Lichty will step out as program director, but will remain in an advisory capacity as station manager. He will work three hours per week, which is one-fifth of a full credit workload, and will be paid one-fifth salary by LCC, while on a one year leave of absence. He will be working toward his masters in broadcasting at the U of O. When Lichty returns, he will continue advising 3 hours out of his full class load. Roger Wood will take over as program director, but will receive no raise in salary. This is another money-saving change thought up jointly by the KLCC staff. '' What was wrong with KLCC is that there was a gap between the program director and everybody else--in salary," says Lichty. ''That gap will no longer· exist." Along with stepping out as program director, Lichty will no longer do the hiring and firing for KLCC. "I was doing the hiring and firing. Anyone doing hiring and firing cannot (according to LCC policy), be a faculty member. John Elliott, head of the Mass Communication Department, will do the hiring and firing . . . which makes KLCC a little less autonomous." This will pull KLCC a little closer to the college. "KLCC will be a little more in coordination with the other elements of the college," says Lichty. ~ , f February 18, 1976---- ---------- ---t,,~~~ a,-Z· : page ,5 mpeting for the same money Arbitron book worth its •weight in gold \ I by Lynda Jackson \\ .. r i7--: , 1- Every six months or so a slight change occurs in the broadcasting community; the ear detects nothing, but underneath a smooth facade are Atka Seltzer, sticky \ palms, maybe even a headache or two. ...

What Program Director Jeff Young calls LCC' s "toy radio station," is a production room m the Mass Communication Department which has been converted into a radio station. The cafeteria is as far as any broadcast from KMPS gets, although the crew conducts business just like any other radio station, with some exceptions. The break patterns are similar to many popular FM stations. On what is called a land line, or simply a wire, KMPS' signal is piped into the cafeteria. But the station provides students of broadcasting with some practical experience. '' Students can get a taste of the nitty gritty at KMPS," says Young, "it's like a sandbox." f photo by Dave Cole keep a "diary" of their listening habits over a given period of time. When the time period is up. the diarykeepers turn in their logs, and each person and his log is computed and represented as a percentage of the total population. But here is where errors appear--and complaints follow. This time ARB has been accused for not having the proper data to make an accurate survey. Some say that not enought diaries were turned in from the TSA (total survey area), others charge that not enough diaries were distributed in the first place to accurate!) represent the population. IN KZEL' s case it made a big difference in their ratings on female listenership. "In the metro survey, the amount of female listeners in the 18-34 category was up 11 S per cent over last spring," explains West. "But the TSA didn't show any increase. You know why? Because not one of our female listeners between 18 and 34 was measured in the outlying survey area." In Lane County there were 603 diaries to measure a 12 plus age group totaling about 198,000 people. But in the total survey area (excluding Lane County) only 157 diaries were distributed to a population that numbered over half of the metro total. Si Wise, operations manager at KPNW, personally feels that "it has a lot to do with luck. It just depends on who gets the book." '' In the 1972 ratings the ARB showed that quite a large group of people were listening to my show. That means that all these people were listening to KPNW, and the rest of them were tuned in to the other 12 radio stations in this town. That's just not true." One thing the ARB can't be accused of is not giving everyone a chance. The book's pages are so full of different charts, age groups, gender groups and time slots that just about every station in the ratings can say they're number one on some page or another. ''The ARB breaks down the groups to make each station look good,'· says Wise. "It's all in what you pull out of the book." The prices for the Arbi~ron ratings aren't the same for everyone. Radio stations are pro-rated on the basis of their advertising rates, the final computation usually ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. Ad agencies pay a mere $40 or $50. It's up to the broadcasters to use a little strategy to make their money back. "We're at the mercy of the advertiser," admits KZEL's owner. "But this is where a good salesman comes in.'' By tearing the book apart and finding out exactly what day, hour and age group carries his Si Wise. operations manager at KPNW station's best ratings, a salesman can use these numbers as a tool to get that extra account. "It's up to us to explain wherc '. his book doe-; and doesn't measure. West adds. Even so. someone has to end up on the bottom. This time it was KFMY. who received some of the lowest ratings in th e book . Naturally a station will place h)~er on the charts when it lacks the powe1 (KFMY has 3.400 watts compared t( .KPNW;s and KZEL's 100.000). but 1t hurb t0 lose points from one rating period to tht next. Whatever the reason. ad agencie!-. i1 NC\\" York aren't interested. "During last October·s survey KFMY was fa!Oing through a lot of changes, .. say~ Jeff Young, whose father owns the station. "Our program director. Gar y Torazani, had just left and there were changes be ing made in per sonnel and format." All KFMY can do now is hope those program changes will show improvement on next spring's charts . Eugene-Springfield has one of the mo~t competitive markets on the West Coast. A population this size usually supports four or five stations, but here in Lan e Count~ there are IS stations, and only two of them are non-commercial. Everyone has to fight harder to keep that extra dollar in their own pocket. And, dollars talk. Arbitron makes its living by telling ad agencies who to spend their money on; radio stations make theirs , by sitting as pretty as possible whe1 agencies look their way. Broadcasters take on the ARB with a coo: fury that few ever see. The result is ho~ many beer and soft drink commercials om hears on his favorite radio station. "The ratings are just a guide to let you know where you stand," shrugs Si Wise. "There's really no fair way to j udg1 anybody." page 5..___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ --r-' ! ~mtn· - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - F e b r u a r y 18, 1976 Outstanding Voe Ed teachers picked Eleven vocational educators were honoi:ed by the LCC Board of Education Wednesday night in recognition of their individual contribution to the learning activities of vocational students.

'' Apparently LCC was standing in the wrong spot at the wrong time and became the object of someone's frustration," said Paul Chase, a member of campus security. Chase said liquid paper .ind ink, contained in bottles, were thrown against walls in the room. He said the chemicals were splattered on the walls and on the rug. Desk drawers were also pried open, but he said nothing significant was taken. World -hunger topic of speech Bishop Thomas J. Gumbleton, vicepresident of Bread for the World, a Christian organization dedicated to attacking the problem of world hunger, will be in Eugene on Wednesday, February 25 to address the world hunger issue. Bishop Gumbleton, auxiliary bishop of Detroit, Michigan, and an active campaigner on the issue of hunger in the world, will speak on the topic of' 'The Role of a US Citizen in a Hungry World." The talk is scheduled for 8 p.m. at the University of Oregon's Gilbert Hall, room 138. Bishop Gumbleton •s address will highlight a one-day visit to Eugene on a West Coast tour that includes the University of Washington at Seattle and the University of California at Berkeley. A press conference is tentatively scheduled at 11 a.m. at the Eugene Hotel, followed by a luncheon with the Lion's Club, University of Oregon faculty and administrators and local ministers. Bishop Gumbleton will speak briefly at the luncheon. The evening talk at 8 p.m. is being sponsored by campus and community organizations which includes the Campus Christian Ministry, clergy and Laity concerned, the Eugene Ministerial Association and the Catholic Clergy Conference, together with the University of Oregon's Cultural Forum and Schools of Education, and Community Service and Public Affairs. Other sponsors include Church Women United. the Food Action Council. Bread for the World, and the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women. :::,r111111111111111111111111111u1111111111111111111111111111111111111111• Two positions open for students on the ASlCC Budget Committee.

No suspects have been apprehended in relation to the incident, Chase said. Earlier this year, in another vandalism incident, windows and instruments in an airplane belonging to the flight technology program were damaged. "Most students would be aghast at what is happening," said Tony Birch, the dean business operations at LCC. He added "There's not enough staff to watch this place like an armed fortress, we hope , students can help control vandalism or things harmful to facilities." Chase said vandalism is on the upswing at LCC, but he said most vandalism is confined to restroom graffiti and actions such as upsetting ashtrays and wastecans. Campus security is doing an excellent job in combatir;ig vandalism, but Chase pointed out that campus security can't be everywhere at all times. LCC Library holds sale of 1,000 books The LCC Library will hold a book sale on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week in the library, says Del Matheson, the head librarian at LCC. Matheson says most of the books which will be sold are outdated and were originally obtained by the library through community donations. In excess of 1,000 books will be sold, according to Matheson. He says revenue generated from the book sale will be used for improvements in the library and a possible use of the money would be for the installation of a drinking fountain in the library, which he says is badly needed. On the first day of the sale hard cover books will sell for $ I and soft cover books will sell for SO cents. On the second day of the sale. hard cover books will sell for SO cents and paperbacks for 25 cents. On the third day, according to Matheson, the respective prices will be 25 cents and 10 cents. "It should be kind of a fun deal." says Matheson.

Desperation shots. Castoff shots. Consequentl y , during its current seven game win skein , Lane has held its victims to 67. 7 points per game while dropping in 82. 7 of its own. As Lane heads in to the final three games of the season (home games), it finds itself healthy for the first time. The team's tallest man, 6-6 J :ff Johnston of South Eugene High Schooi, has finally shaken off various leg injuries and is at last moving freel y under the basket. "J .J .' s a big plus for us ," says Bates. "He's scoring in double figures now and is working hard on the boards. He's looking very good." Bate s also singles out the work of starters Rick Weidig (of Churchill High School). Charley Morehead (Grants Pass) and Rob Woods and Greg Anderson But, more significantly (Parkrose). perhaps, he points to his bench. "We're getting real fine reserve play," he says. '' All of the guys are getting playing time and doing the job. Everybody contributes.'' Of particular interest has been the development of Kevin McCarthy, a 6-3 all-stater from LaGrande. McCarthy started slowly. He had an excellent shooting touch but had difficulty adjusting to Bate's rough-and-tum ble defensive style. At first McCarthy rode the bench. Then, as his defense improved, he saw more playing time. Now Bates often calls on McCarthy to spell at either guard or forward. "McCarthy is doing the job at both ends of the court," says Bates. "He's going to be a good one before he's through at Lane ." Tipoff time for this week's games is 7:30 p.m. at the Lane gym. Lane grapplers may take title by Fred Crafts Lane Community College's wrestling team probably won't win the Region 18 team title but it should pick up at least three individual championships Friday and Saturday in Oregon City. That's the prediction of Lane Coach Bob Creed . The team standing between Lane and the title is North Idaho Community College. the defending national champion which is currently rated first in the nation. "They're awesome," says Creed . But Creed figures Lane could be the surprise team of the two-day tournament. Especially if his team is healthy. Lane finished second at the conference championships last weekend in Roseburg. Clackamas won the meet for the seventh consecutive year. Lane's Larry Nugent, Jon Hanson and Mark Booth remained undefeated in winning individual titles. In consolation, Ken Northcutt, Lou Christian and Dave Ehrich posted victories in the finals. In fact, eight of the nine Lane wrestlers at the tourney scored points. Another sure point-producer , Joe McFadden, missed the meet with the flu . Lane now has two meets remaining: regional competition this weekend and national action February 26-28.

"We 're wrestling reai well," sayi Creed. "We should do fine at th, regionals." Creed figures it would be easier to move Mount Everest than to dislodge North Idaho from the regional title. So he rates Lane, Clackamas and Ricks College as contenders for second place. "We're going up there with the attitude that we can win it all," says Creed. "We're healthy, I think. So we should be plenty tough." Meanwhile, a fund drive is underway to collect money to send the team to national competition in Minnesota, Feb. 26-28, since school money cannot be used for this purpose. Tax deductible donations can be sent to the LCC Development Fund, 4000 E. 30th Avenue, Eugene , and earmarked for the "wrestling team travel fund.''

While all drug reactions should be reported, one should be especially alert to the development of the rash as it can be the first sign of a shock reaction. In order to be effective, an antibiotic must reach and maintain sufficient levels of concentration in the blood. This means one should carefully fo11ow the directions as to when and how the drug should be taken. For example, tetracyclines should not be taken with milk or antacids as the calcium aluminum salts chemically ties up the antibiotic so that it is of no use to the body. Antibiotics are extracted from microorganisms grown on a certain type of soil or made synthetica1ly in the laboratory. They attack disease-causing bacteria within the body, first inhibiting the bacteria cell's reproduction and activity, then killing it. Prior to the 1940's, sulfa drugs were the only antibiotic-type drugs available. During World War II , penicillin, the wonder drug, was produced from bread molds. Since then over SO types of antibiotics, both synthetic and organic, have been developed. These SO antibiotics may be taken in one, or possibly all, of three forms-oral , injection, or cream-and each can then masquerade under a host of brand names. De.spite the large number and brand variety of antibiotics, they can be broken down, basically, into two major groups broad and narrow spectrum. Broad spectrum drugs can be effective in treating a wide variety of infections. Tetracycline, for example , is used to treat anything from acne to venereal disease. Narrow spectrum antibiotics, generally the more expensive of the two , are effective on only select types of bacteria. Some antibiotics are so specific that they are Tuition increase effective in treating only one type of bacteria. Antibiotics are useful in treating bacteria-caused infections only. These may include such infections as boils, staph (staphylococcus) infections, infections of the digestive or urinary tracts, TB, strep throat (caused by streptococcus bacteria) , syphilis, and gonorrhea. But antibiotics are not effective in treating viral infections such as influenza, mononucleosis, viral hepatitis, or viral encephalitis. Viruses are smaller organisms than bacteria and the antibiotic simply cannot get at them. There is no medicine for viral infections other than the natural defenses of the body. If the antibiotic treatment is to be effective one must take the entire prescription of drugs. People often stop treatment too soon because they are feeling so much better, and then have a relapse . It is a sign the antibiotic is stopping the action of the bacteria when one begins to feel better. However, the drug attacks the weakest bacteria first, leaving only the strongest to cause harder illness if treatment is stopped. Care should be taken to make sure bacterial infections are properly treated. Proper treatment does not consist of self-treatment with some old penicillin that has been sitting in the medicine cabinet for ages, or using a drug prescribed for someone else. Antibiotics lose their potency after a time and the dosage and type would most likely be a11 wrong. One should expecially avoid self-treatment for VD. Some infection , for example, strep throat, may seem rather minor and go away whether or not it is treated. However, the bacteria remain in the body and may cause serious problems later on - such as pericarditis (inflamation of the heart lining, which may require open-heart surgery), encephalitis (inflamation of the lining of the brain, commonly known as sleeping sickness) , or spinal meningitis (inflamation of the lining of the spinal cord which can result in paralysis or death). (continued from page 1) In the final vote Wednesday , the CCC was supported in its 9pposition to the increase by • Martin , Lauris, and Larry Perry. Voting for the hike were Chairer AlbertBrauer, James Pitney, Richard Freeman and Steve Reid. Brauer, received boos from the crowd at the beginning of the meeting when, after moving the tuition "action item" to the top of the agenda, he suggested that statements from the audience on the matter be restricted to one minute ap1ece. The normal allotment is two minutes, but a member of the crowd stated ''this is not the way to start the meeting in a spirit of cooperation." Following opposition to the suggestion from Lauris and Martin, the Board compromised to limit general discussion to 20 minutes. Representatives from LCC's student government (ASLCC) , OSPIRG, the Chicano student group M.E.Ch.A. , LCC veterans, the Native American Students, and the Women' s Union, then made prepared statements opposing the increase with these main contentions: •That all Board members except Martin had not polled their constituents concerning the matter. •That a 26 per cent increase was inappropriately la1ge. •That it would take money from people on fixed incomes such as veterans, working women and those on grants (it was noted that federal grants may be reduced) to support an increase in Admmistrative salaries and benefits. •That it will not result in an increase in the quality and the diversity of education at LCC: •That it is wrong that the students are forced to ''tighten their belts whih~the college employees don't tighten theirs." lJuring the debate among the Board met1_1bers, Reid objected to the singling out of the administrative raises asking ''what about the other employees, including the part-time?" Lauris supported the CCC saying, "This Board is operating under an old policy (20 per cent student support) that we don't have to follow . New action has to start some place.'' '' Someone has got to pay the bills,'' said Reid referring to the larger budget andHraue1 added, "If tuition doesn't go up, then taxes will have to go up." In response to threats of working for the budget's defeat, Brauersaid, "That will be stabbing students in the back; no one will receive any of the services.' ' ASLCC President Len Wassotn repeated that if the increase would result in some improvements at the college the students might support it, to which Braur replied, "If you don't like it here then why do you go here?" Wassom replied, "Because of the cheap tuition." Following the regular Board meeting, the LCC Budget Committee met to review the proposed budget. The next Board and Budget Committee meeting is slated for Wednesday , February 25. .~ >a (\ LANE 00 COMMUNITY COLLEGE Vol. 13 No. 18 February 18, 197fr_ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ __ _ ..... 97405 , i Radio: Can KLCC survive? f1 ~/ / · 1_,, -· l , } photo by Dave Cole What do the ARB ratings mean?
