LCC Board votes 4-3 to up tuition

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.

Lane Community College is in the
unique position of owing money to past
employes and being unable to find them to
present the checks.
The Financial Services office is holding
1974 and 1975 payroll checks for the
following people: Dwight D. Brown, Jani
Franklin, Babette Kirkpatrick, Sylvia
Lemmon, Sheila M. Minor, H. David New,
Charles E. Paschal, and Susan K. Taylor.
LCC has been unable to contact these
people to notify them that payroll checks
are available.

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.

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.
Donations may be sent to the Ananda
Marga Guatemalan Relief Fund, 2010
Adams St., Eugene, Twombly said.

Other ogranizations raising funds for
Guatemalan relief efforts are the American
Red Cross, Radio Station KPNW, and a
group of anthropologists, linguists and
Quakers in Eugene.
In all cases, only donations of money are
being asked because relief agencies say
that is the cheapest, quickest, and most
effective way to getting needed supplies to
the area.

-l-FO RUM -Does CIA recruit for Angola ?

[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.

-LET TER SStudent asks for tuition roll back

The meeting of the Lane Community
College Board of Education held last
Wednesday night from 7 p.m. until the
steam roller of bureaucratic inertia of this
old dying order of capitalist pseudodemocracy squashed the rights of students
who are now going to have to pay the
increased tuition unless some way can be
The lack of
found to roll it back.
imagination and concern of the Board
certainly out-did what one Board member,
Larry Perry called the "deplorable"
behavior of students at the meeting.
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! At least. it's pood for a start.

"Young, Gifted and Black" performed in Portland

Whistle stop

by Scott Stuart
The LCC touring company of "To Be
Young, Gifted and Black" returned from
its weekend in Portland at 3:30 a.m.
Sunday, feeling worn out, but proud of its
performances.
"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.

theatre with students of Grant High
School's Black Studies courses. The cast
also performed acting exercises and
demonstrations for, and with, the students.
Saturday's performance was held at the
Cascade Hall at the Cascade Center of
Portland Community College.
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.
According to Lauris, the cast members
financed a trip to Portland last November
to perform one performance of "Young.
Gifted and Black" out of their own pockets
for $25.

wanted to reach a larger black audience
with the play. The show ran at LCC last
term.
The grant paid for per diem for the
company, living accommodations at the
Mallory Hotel, transportation and gas,
royalties, and equipment rentals.
The company has 12 members consisting
of seven actors, who played about ten roles
apiece; two faculty members, Lauris and
Dave Sherman; theatre instructor and
scene designer; Bill Deveraux, Education

mistress to handle props and costumes,
and a sound person. They drove to
Portland Feb. 12 in two private cars, a
college car and a college van. With them
they took seven platforms, five chairs,
table, properties, a rack of costumes and
two follow spollights.
''The show lends itself very nicely to
touring," said Lauris, "it's very adaptable." He added that the basic problems
of any tour can be solved if everybody
involved is adaptable.

KLCC may have to raise $30,000 next year
by Cris Clarke
As a contingency measure. in case the
LCC budget proposal gets voted down
April 20, KLCC is preparing itself to bear
the burden of one-third of its own
operating budget d!!ring the next fiscal
year (76-77).
• If the budget fails, the $45,000 which
LCC currently provides the station will be
cut to $25,000, according to Program
Director Tom Lichty. 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

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

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.

KMP$, no -air but an

effective learning tqol
With a station motto of ''KMPS,
nowhere on your radio dial,'' KMPS
entertains the LCC cafeteria crowds -with a
blend of mellow music.
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."

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."

Vandals cause $400 in damages
Approximately $400 worth of damage
occurred to Business Room 212 during a
vandalism incident at LCC last week.
'' 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.

College officials estimated the cost of
cleaning the rugs and walls would be near
$400.
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.

Lane basketbo/1 team gets tough -defense
by Fred Crafts
Lane, now 11-2, has established a
reputation for tough man-to-man defense
that picks the opposition up high and holds
them away from the backboards , causing
th em to take poor percentage shots .
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

for the "wrestling team travel fund.''

Improperly used antibiotics can cause problems
by Amy Parker
Occasionally there is someone who is allergic to a certain
type or types of antibiotics. Allergy symptoms include
nausea, vomiting, or severe itching and ,development of
hives; in rare cases a person may go into anaphylactic shock,
which can result in death. 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.
