UO student groups forge rfight the hike' movement
by Patty Farrell of the Emerald
At registration went to pay my fees
Reached into my pockets, they said 'more money please.'
Well, I can't find a job, and that ain't cool
Now how the hell'm I gonna stay in school?
The students who sang those words at a rally on the EMU terrace at the University of
Oregon Campus Monday are the same students who went to Portland Tuesday to protest
the proposed tuition hike before the State Board of Higher Education's Finance
Committee.
The Committee recommended to the full Board 12 per cent tuition increase for state
universities for ne:xt year, despite the efforts of the Revolutionary Student Brigade (RSB)
and the Committee to Fight for the Right to an Education (CFRE) to stop the proposal
from getting past the Finance Committee.
The 12 per cent taise basically reaffirmed the committee's recommendations from last
year to increase tuition 24 per cent from 1975-1977. The hikes have been considered more
or less automatic, since the state legislature, which allocates the higher education
operating budget, is no longer in session. Last year's legislative grant to the state's
colleges and universities was made with the assumption that tuition would rise as
planned.
Monday's demonstration at the University of Oregon was put on by the two campus
groups in hopes of rallying support for the protest in Portland. Both groups have been
staging demonstration~ and passing out leaflets on campus for the last two month~
encouraging students to join with them to " fight the hike." (Continued on back cover)

CCC gets grant

LCC 's Goldmark system under development from ASLCC
by Cris Clarke
The Goldmark Rapid Transmission and
Stotage (RTS) system. which received
national attention in a Wall Street Journal
story, is currently under development for
use next fall term at LCC.
In a March 1975 meeting, the LCC Board
of Education approved use of the system at
LCC, which, as was estimated at that time,
would cost the college·some $150,000.
But Dean of Instructional Operations
Gerald Rasmussen does not know yet what
the actual cost of the program. now called
ACCESS, will be to LCC.
''1 have no current figures , '' says
Ra s mussen , " I will be requesting that
President Schafer call a meeting of
ACCESS people in order to plan the best
way to produce a full report on ACCESS."
The program consists of college transfer
courses being developed on video tapes for
student viewing and rapid transmission to
other institutions.

According t9 the Wall Street Journal,
"the images and sound would be sent by
means of regular "over-the-air" broadcasting facilities by satellite or by cable
television for storage and playback over
ordinary television sets in the home or at
school.
•'The images and sound sent by means
of the new Rapid Transmission and Storage
system can be picked up on a regular
television set by means of an RTS
recording attachment costing approximately $300 . The images and sound could
be sent at night, recorded and stored for
later use in the home or the classroom.
"The Mark I system can provide 60
different half-hour programs in the sound
and picture format from a single hour-long
video cassette. Up to 30 of these programs
can be selected from the single tape and
shown simultaneously on as many sets for
multiple classroom instruction. "

March 16 deadline for board seats
The deadline for filing with the Lane
C01.1 nty Elections Department for two seats
on the Lan e Community College Board of
Directors is March 16. The el ection will be
held April 20 .
Board seats from Zone 1 and Zone 4 will
be up for election. Dr. Albert Brauer of
Florence currentlv holds the Zone 1
position which includes School Districts

Petitions may be picked up at the Lane
County Elections Department. Twentyfive qualified voters from the zone in which
the candidate lives must sign the petition
before it is returned to the Elections
Department.
While candidates are
nominated from their zone, Board of
Directors are voted on by all registered
voters of the LCC district.
Dr. Brauer is completing his twelfth year
on the LCC Board. Reid was appointed to
the Board in 1971 and elected to a 4-year
term in 1972. Both are eligible for
re-election if they choose to file.
Other members of the 7-person board
include James Pitney of Junction City,
Zone 2; Jim Martin of Springfield, Zone 3;
Catherine Lauris of Eugene, Zone 5; and
Richard Freeman of Eugene and Larry
Perry of Eugene, at-large representatives.

According to Rasmussen, once the
programs are completed, they will be
available to other educational institutions
for purchase. The underlying theory, he
says. is that the tapes will be good enough
for other schools to buy, and the money
would then be transmitted back to LCC in
the form of royalties .
Currently three programs are being
developed at LCC: Health Science, for
which LCC is the pilot school, Introduction
to Business. and Consumerism . Each of
these departments has been assigned a
design team to undertake the task of
creating the actual course contents.
•'The design teams write the educational
specifications for the courses, " says
Rasmussen, "especially the goals, objectives, and concepts to be implemented in
the program script.'' The teams also work
on technique, illustration and photography
used in the program .
But the actual design of the courses wilJ
be done by Electronics Productions, Inc.
(EPI). " They take the specifications , put
together the script, and then do the actual
design of the course," Rasmussen says.
EPI is subcontracted with the Cambridge
Press, which is in turn a subdivision of the
New York Times. The Cambridge Press
will print and distribute supplementary
material such as student workbooks and
instructor's handbooks, says Rasmussen.
When the courses are completed, along
with whatever supplementary written
material is required, LCC will implement
them for use here and to reach outlying
areas.
The ACCESS program is overseen by a
Board of Directors consisting of the
presidents of the six community colleges
involved. The five other schools are
Central Piedmont Community College
District of Charlotte, N.C.; Chicago City
C_oJI~ges, The Coast Community Co)]ege
D1stnct of Costa Mesa, Calif.; the College
of DuPage, Ill.; and the Metropolitan
Community Colleges of Kansas Citv. Mo.
In charge of the procedural, implementing,
and design aspects of the prog-ram is an
operations committee, which consists of
one representative from each school
district. Rasmussen is LCC' s representative.
Dick Newell, department chairman of
the Health and P.E. Department, is in

The Coalition of Concerned _Citizens
(CCC) received a $200.00 grant from the
ASLCC in a meeting held Tuesday, Feb. 17
to cover costs involved in obtaining
information from LCC's budget.
The CCC is composed of memb e rs
representing several campus organizations
including the ASLCC, the Chicano student
~~oup M.E.Ch.A .. the Native American
Student Association, the Association of
Veterans and the Women' s Union . It was
form ed to unite opposition against a tuition
increase at LCC , which the LCC Board of
Education passed at its meeting Feb. I I.
According to Michael Roc h e. CCC
member and LCC veteran s representative,
th e Coaliti o n wants a n anal ys is of all
receipts of money spent in the la st year. To
obtain th e requ ested information involves a
compute r program and is n e cessa ry to
determin e if t he college has bee n untilizing
good spending practices.
ro aid in the analysis Roach said that th e
Coalition has enlisted the help of a certified
public accountant.
Th e Coalition wiJJ th en us e the infor mation from the budget records and determine if there are any areas that can be cut
back. Roach feels that a high percentage of
the budget is involved with salaries an d
that " ... you have to tighten up the· budget
all the way across the line." The Coalition
will attempt to point out to the LCC Budget
committee that there are a number of
avenues that should be looked into besides
program cutbacks and tuition increases.
The cost of extracting the bud g et
information is an estimated $150.00
according ot Jim Keizur. director of data
processing in a memorandum to Ton y
Birch, dean of business operations. In the
memo to Birch, Keizur also stated that the
gathering of information from the general
ledger would take 10 days. Part of the
information that the CCC is requesting is
on the expenditures under travel and staff
development.
The Coalition also divided itself into 4
task groups to fight the proposed budget
scheduled to go before the budget elections
April 20. The groups are budget, press,
leaflet and speaker.
_
The budget group wiJI go ,')Ver the
information obtained from the LCC general
ledger and try to determine if there are any
areas that can be cut back in the budget to
avoir any more increases in tuition. The
budget group will also develop questions
for the LC'C budget meeting of Feb. 25.

----F OR UM --LCC oughtta have a bike path

By Julie Moore
Picture, if you will, a young man and woman walking with their student's backpacks
and winter wraps along side the East exit from Lane Community College. Classes are
over and they are going home. At the point where the driveway meets the main road they
leave the pavement and start off through the tall grass toward a fence. The man gallantly
holds the barbed wire wide for his friend to crawl through first. They disappear from
sight into a gulley by the freeway, then emerge, running across the Interstate 5 freeway
during a lull in traffic.
I wish to suggest to the reader some reasons why jogging, hiking, and bicycle paths to
Lane college would benefit the entire community. As it exists now, LCC is inaccessible to
that part of the county that commutes to school by bicycle rather than by car. The campus
is situated on the outskirts of East Eugene and is separated from the surrounding
countryside by freeways and a high speed boulevard that make it available only by car.
Also, hikers and joggers to and from the college have no special place provided for them.
The open, rolling hills surrounding the campus are beautiful and could be taken
advantage of by more people if paths were built through them. Future city expansion will
include this territory. A network of paths should be built now to help protect the natuarl
landscape from being paved over by more streets. It should be remembered that jogging
and hiking require only a cleared, packed surface and bicycles take much less raod
surface area than cars. The number of cars driven to LCC would decrease, and the college
would be linked more closely to the surrounding cities, better fulfilling its function as a
community facility.
Pollution in all its forms would be reduced if more consideration and support were
given to the alternate forms of transportation. Pollution in the valley is a growing
problem and affects us in many unpleasant ways. The exhaust from cars contributes to
pollution of the air we all must breath. Bike riders and joggers are forced to take deep
gulps of carbon monoxide-loaded air as they move alongside heavy traffic on the streets.
Separate paths from them would help eliminate this situation.
Another point to consider is that less cars being driven to school would help cut down
on gas consumption. I have been told that there are approximately 15 years worth of
fossil fuel deposits remaining in the earth. Alternate transportation methods must be
developed now. Definitely we should stop totally relying on gasoline powered engines. I
am sure new types ot engines using different energy sources are being developed, but
bicycling and walking should not be ignored as much as they are by city planners. As a
money saving side benefit of this plan, cars would not depreciate as quickly.
Noise pollution, less often mentioned but equally irritating to us all, would be cut down
if more people could use bicycles to reach LCC. Each student at Lane multiplied by one
car engine equals a great deal of noise. Consider the situation if this number could be cut
in half. The noise and speed of driving also strains nerves, creates headaches and
tensions that can cause distraction from studying ,,nd class time. If more people could
adjust 'their schedules to include the little extra time required to bicycle to school, they
would discover the benefits of a slower pace, a quieter environment, and maybe even
better grades.
The poor health of many persons could also be considered as pollution--of the body.
Bike and jogging paths to and from LCC would incrase opportunities fot exercise and
r<?creation. The exercise obtained from riding, running, or walking improves blood
circulation and brings increased quantities of oxygen to the brain, helping it to function.
more efficiently. Waht could be better, before or after several hours of sitting in class or
studying at a desk, than a brisk bike ride or walk down a pleasant tree-lined path?
'With more peoele utilizing_ alternative transportation systems, auto traffic congestion,
should be alleviated. City streets would be safer for the remaining drivers, pedestrians,
school children, and bicycle riders. Some of the better aspects of the mall design in the
Eugene City Center could be r~peated alo~g the bike ancq~ggi~g_paths. There could be
parks and playing fields, like those along the Amazon Parkway, linking the college with
the city of Eugene.
The resources for building and maintaining such a system of paths are already
available. One neighborhood organization has already set funds aside for building a foot
an-d bike path leading to 30th Avenue. The talent needed to design the paths is right here
in our Architecture and Art classes at Lane. The students, as future users of the bike
paths could offer suggestions on the best routes and types of surfacing materials to be
used. The actual labor of construction could be carried out by students in the Work Study
Program at LCC.
I realize that the Lane campus is fairly new and is struggling to meet a variety of
imoortant community needs. I hope the leaders of the college will see the high priority
need for bicycle and foot paths to the city. The college would then more truly function for
the community and set a better example f'.)r th e rest of society in harmonious modes of
living on earth.

Nose to sever relations with face
by Bill Buckle
In the interest of bringing up-to-date
world news to the Lane Community College
campus, the TORCH will be carrying a
weekly article written by this reporter on
roving assignment.
The news today comes from the
strife-torn country of Academia where rival
factions are locked in bitter conflict over
the country's budget, and over the new 26
per cent tax increase proposed by the Nose
party. The following interview with
Senator Outrage, the opposition party
leader, was given at the opposition Face
party headquarters shortly after the 26 per
cent tax increase passed congress.
"Senator Outrage, can you give my
readers some of the background information on your party's opposition to the
administration's use of government funds.
and your plans for repealing the latest tax
increase?"
"Our demands clearly and calmly stated
at the last congressional hearings were
unilaterally limited and ultimately dismissed by the ruling Nose party representatives. This action demonstrates an
excellent example of demokracy as it has
been subverted here in Akadamia. My
party has asked for an itemized accounting
of the millions of dollars spent each year
for wild parties and weekend cookouts
listed in the budget under career development, whatever that is. In addition, we
demand that alternative funds be found to
support the Akadamian economy and that
the 26 per cent tax rip-off be overturned.
The idea that my constituents should have
to support this administration's policy of
continuing education for petty bureaucrats,
and bear the brunt of capitalistic inflation
is rediculas, and we will not stand for it."
"Since the tax increase has already been
signed into law, how will you be able to
repeal it and find alternative financing for
the government?''
"I will answer your second question first
and your first question second. As you
know, the economy is almost totally
supported by foreign aid. We believe that
this method of financing the government
can be increased from the present 80 per
cent to a full 100 per cent there by saving
the citizens from inflationary taxation. ln

tact, 1t may be possible under our new
economic oroerams to finance 110 oer cent
or even 120 per cent of the government
budget and start paying people to become
citizens. thereby increasing the population
of the country and increasing the need for
foreign aid. The possibilities are unlimited!'"
"It boggles the mind senator. Will you
be able to achieve this financial coup in
spite of the Nose party's strong position of
making the citizens pay at least 20 per cent
of the new budget requirements?"
"Of course. you see we have the
administration between a rock and a hard
place. We in the Face party are not just a
bunch of freeloading loudmouths as the
Nose party would have you believe. Our
plan is a carefully thought out variation of
an ancient oriental practice that will save
the Face party. We have delivered an
ultimatum to the Nose party stating that if
they persist in their inflationary tax rip-offs
we will sever all relations with their
administration and campaign for a no
confidence vote at the next election. The
citizens may have to pay the 26 per cent
increase, but our foreign benefactors will
not support an unstable government with
any aid let alone the other 80 per cent
required to operate the country. As you
can see, this will force the administration
to repeal the tax or commit political and
economic suicide."
"If in fact the tax law is repealed, how
will this help you get more foreign aid to
support the government's budget?"
"It is very simple, once our party has
flexed its political muscle in the interest of
the people, the administration wi11 not be
able to increase the present tax rate. As
the population grows and the budget needs
increased. the per cent of the budget paid
for with taxes will shrink from 20 per cent
to 10 per cent and finally to the point where
the government will have to be supported
entirely by foreign aid. At last the citizens
will be free from irresponsible taxation.''
•'Thank you very much Senator Outrage,
we will be watching closely to see how
successful your campaign is. As the
philosopher Juvenal so clearly stated your
position: Nosse velint omnes, mercedem
solvere nemo" (everyone wishes to be
learned, but no one wants to pay the price.)

The Owl and the Prarie Falco n

-

no commie
•

As wildlife biologist Dick Humphreys
approached the tell-tale "whitewash" that
often reveals the nest location of a prairie
falcon, he found more than he bargained
for and witnessed a unique and dramatic
wildlife confrontation.
Located within 15 feet of the falcon nest,
in a natural cavity in the rock. was a barn
owl nest. Ordinarily, birds of prey do not
tolerate that kind of neighborliness. But
since the owls are active by night and the
falcons during the day. the integration was
apparently being tolerated.
Humphreys turned out to be the factor
that tipped the balance. At his approach.
one of the barn owls took wing in fright.
That was the first mistake. It had taken but
a few wingbeats when a hurtling form
struck from above and the owl crashed to
the ground, apparently stunned.
As Humphreys went to pick up the owl,
it regained its senses and again took to the
air. A second time the falcon came
flashing down and the owl crumpled amid
flying feathers and plummeted to the
ground.
This time Humphreys very nearly
reached the owl in time but, again, it came
to and struggled aloft. By this time both
falcons were in the air, screaming their
displeasure at the intrusion. One stooped,
and with blinding speed again hit the owl
from above. It went down a third time. as

By Arthur Hoppe

Rise today in defense of Ronald Reagan.
No matter what his critics may charge,
there is not one shred of concrete proof that
he is presently a member of the
Communist Party.
True, in the only major economic
proposals of his campaign thus far, he has
espoused the two basic principles of
Marxist-Leninism: redistribution of the
wealth and government ownership of the
means of production.
But that certainly makes him a Communist. Not necessarily.

•

***

Actually. there is much to be said for
Mr. Reagan's bold Four Year Plan to
redistribute the wealth. As you know, he is
calling for returning $90 billion (or $200
billion or something worth of Federal
programs to the States.)
Apparently. he is not referring here to
our Federal nuclear warfare capacity,
although this isn't too clear. But he
probably means welfare programs primarily.
Naturally. a poor state like Mississippi
would be unable to support a welfare
recipient as regally as a rich state like
California. But, as Mr. Reagan points out,
poor Mississippians could ''vote with their
feet" by walking to California.
This influx of poor would, of course,
impoverish California. But why should
bloated California capitalists greedily enjoy
the fruits of their labor? And, eventually.
under Mr. Reagan's plan, all 50 states
would achieve the Marxist dream and be
equally poor.
More difficult to defend is Mr. Reagan's
suggestion that the $58 billion in Social
Security trust funds, which now earn 6. 7
per cent in Federal bonds, might better be
invested in the stock market.
Speaking in behalf of Mr. Ford, Elliot
Richardson was quick to say this would
"put the U.S. Government in the position
of controlling every major industrial firm in
the United States."
Well , what's wrong with the Government controlling the means of production?
With $58 billion to pay with, the
Government could buy short, sell long and
maybe even corner the market in hogback
futures. It could make a killing, if it was
lucky.
•
True, it would bankrupt a lot of widows
and orphans in the process and undoubtedly destroy the nation's faith in Wall
street. But as Karl Marx said about Wall
street, "Who needs it?"
***
But just because Mr. Reagan wants to
destroy accumulated wealth, individual
initiative, private property and the free
enterprise system, that doesn't mean h1!'s
a card-carrying Communist.
Fair is fair. He could be a Tr9tskyist, a
Utopian Socialist or--let's be charitable and
give .him the benefit of the doubt--a
Presidential candidate who doesn't know
what on earth he's talking aobut.

ground, the Falcons lost all interest in the
owl.
Three knock-downs ~ere enough for the
owl and Humphreys was finally able to
catch it. Although stunned. the owl was
apparently not seriously hurt , so Humphreys took it back to its nest. It scuttled back
into its nest cavity. probably happy to be

OSPIRG announces
new tax book
A new booklet, '' Special Tax Refunds for
Oregon Homeowners and Renters,'' is now
available, the Oregon Student Public
Interest Research Group (OSPIRG)
announced today.
The handbook is designed to aid
Oregonians in preparing their 1975 Homeowners and Renters tax refunds. Special
attention has been given to such areas as
filing procedures, eligibility, roommate
situations, and audits. Also included is
information regarding a special rental
assistance program for senior citizens.
According to OSPIRG Executive Director
William Van Dyke, "The handbook will
help both renters and homeowners receive
the full amount of the refund to which they
are entitled. The booklet clearly tells how
to file and how to prepare for a possible
audit."
The guide, compiled by the University of
Oregon Off-Campus Housing Office and
printed by OSPIRG, is free to college
students. There is a 25 cent charge to
non-students.

Not home-ec I not education, but
iournalism 'in' thing ·10 do

"A lead." The white-haired professor
catches his breath as he creaks across the
classroom in front of 35 eager students. He
has one foot in his dotage, to other on a
banana peel. He recalls the night they
nabbed Dillinger like it was yesterday but
hasn't been in a newspaper's city room
since Korea. He has, however, written a
book on the press in Australia. "This
semester," he harumphs, "we will learn to
write leads."
This is a scene taking place in a rapidly
increasing number of classrooms all across
the country. Observers cite several
reasons for it but one thing is certain:
journalism has blown home-ec and education off the map and has taken their places
as the current "in" academic pursuit.
Enrollment in journalism schools this
year is pegged at 64,000 hopeful students,

journalism jobs, all the news is bad. A
recent survey by the Newspaper Fund
discovered only 62.4 percent of '74
journalism grads were able to grab a
position in either newspapers, advertising
or public relations. The outlook for the
future is worse, the Fund found, with
20,000 journalism grads in 1978 chasing
only 5.600 media-related openings.
Most major news organizations are
doing very little hiring these days. The
Washington Post, where reporters with
four years experience earn $24,700 a year,
had 1,000 applications for 15 summer
internships this year and will only be

editors at news magazines, radio and TV

queried about employment:
The job market is not leaving students
unscathed, journalism school deans say.
"In 1969, journalism students were an
uproarious group," recalls Elie Abel, Dean
of the _top-ranked Columbia School of
Journalism. "The class of 1976 is quite
different: enormously businesslike, sober
and hard working." Danielson, the Texan
Dean, agrees. The "half hearted"
students are gone, he says, and "the new
crop is very interested in academics.
They're _attentive, good students who turn
things in _on time and the faculty has not
adjusted to this."
In the meantime, with all the added
student baggage, journalism schools are
finding themselves in the unfamiliar light.

''I and most other editors I know would

Human Awareness Council sponsors slide show

Moderator Tim Blood at last Thursday's slide show.

by Sally Oljar
Throwing away the stereotyped roles
that men and women play was the theme of
"Man & Woman: Myths and Stereotypes"
sponsored by the Human Awareness
Council.
Fifty people attended Thursday's slide
presentation, which was a follow-up to the
Affirmative Action Workshop on February 6.
The Human Awareness Council and its
commissions were set up to support
programs that increase equality between
men and women. Helping men and women
with the stresses of traditional roles is the
Supportive Services Commission, cosponsor of the presentation.
Drama, film, poetry, and music was the
focal' point illustrating traditional roles for
both sexes. Scenes dealing with relationships between men and women from such
films as "My Fair Lady," "The Taming of
the Shrew," and "Who's Afraid of Virginia
Woolfe?" revealed the frustrations and
limitations of role playing.
Verse from Shakespeare, Wordsworth,
and Byron reflected the tendency, moderators Tim B1ood and Linda Danielson
said, of poets, "to eulogize images of
women not as persons.'• Artists, they also
said, "capture the essence of any woman" showing some examples of Renoir's
work.
Different songs. photographs, drawings.
and cartoons depicted men and women in
stereotyped roles. Women were seen as
sex objects. witches, wicked stepmothers,
dumb princesses, and creatures of uncontrolled passions. Stereotypes for men
included Don Juans, providers, down
trodden bread winners, or fearless. brave
and strong characters.
It is men, the narrators concluded, who

have "created most of the stereotype
roles" for both sexes. "Men often pretend
to be what they're not," they said, "and
use stereotypes or masks when dealing
with uncomfortable roles."
Recognizing and giving up stereotype
roles was the second part of the presentation. "Looking into the individual," the
narrators said, "is the first step for
breaking out of roles.•'
Sharing ideas, experiences, and feelings
is the most satisfying relationship, they
concluded. "Success (in relationships)
depends on respect, honesty, change and
growth. This is impossible in stereotyped
roles."
Comments after the presentation ranged
from "very effective" to "schmaltzy
pictures, like greeting cards." "No good
relationships were shown," one woman
said. Susan Bennett, a Language Arts
instructor was interested in "where
stereotyping is done in classes. I'd like to
know," she said.
The slide show and tape narration is
available for other groups to use. For more
information contact Tim Blood in the
counseling department.

Wom8"n's Union newsletter failing
Gertrude's Cafe closes
by Kathleen Monje
Gertrude's Silver Eighth Note Cafe
closed its doors Saturday, Feb. 14, and
disappeared from Eugene's counterculture
scene at least temporarily.
The feminist Women's Collective, which
operated the cafe at Sixth and Lawrence,
was formally evicted from the building
owned by the Eugene Coalition, a left-wing
group which calls itself a "people's
organization.··
The rift which caused the eviction
remains somewhat mysterious; though
members of the Collective are eager to
explain their view of the situation, no one
in the Coalitil)n was e.vaiJable for comment.
The TORCH, despite repeated efforts,
could find no Coalition spokesman willing
to talk to a reporter, and the Eugene
Register-Guard reported the same.
Jeanney Crow, a Collective member who
helped run Gertrude's, said "The Coalition
wanted us to give four benefits a month,
with Lhe profits going to them. They also
wanted control over the program content,
and a percentage of the cafe's profits."
The Collective refused these terms, saying
that they wished to operate independently.
There was no written lease agreement
signed when Gertrude's was first established.
LCC student Yvonne Pepin, who supervised the building of a small log cabin on
Gertrude's front lawn as part of a
fund-raising program for the cafe, felt that
part of the reason for the eviction was
sexual discrimination. She also said, "We
built the cabin ... to show what woman
power can accomplish, to show the need for
a women's skill center." Gertrude's had
hoped to expand to include varied classes.
The Collective is now trying to find
another building to lease or buy, in which
to continue the cafe and initiate a skills
center. Bitterness about the loss of their
business still runs high, and this time they
plan to have a signed agreement.

Problems with communication, a lack of
funds for paper and ink, and poor
attendance at weekly meetings are keeping
a proposed women• s newsletter, published
by the Women's Union, from getting off
the ground.
A "lack of interest on women's part,"
according to Renee Romanoff, Union
member. is part of the problem. "We need
more input ... (to) find out how committed
women are." The Women's Union is an
alternative Women's Study group on
campus.
Three women were present at Tuesday's
meeting. and this aroused concern over
poor attendance at weekly meetings.
Asked to comment on this, Romanoff said,
"People don't know about it ... It's always
hard in the beginning. That's why we
wanted to do the newspaper ... hopefully
it would generate interest."
"I sort of feel like we 're not doing

anything ... the first time we had a good
turn out,•' says Romanoff. She feels the
controversy over the accredited Women's
Studies program contributed to the
large turnout at the first meeting. She says
"there was a lot of energy" during the
period and added, "weekly meetings
might somehow be boring to some
people."
Changing the group's structure from a
political to social standpoint, such as a
consciousness raising group. was one
solution proposed to increase attendance.
It was decided to keep the present format.
The idea for the paper stemmed from the
group's meeting on February 3. Contributions are welcome for poetry. drawings. political analyses, stories. etc. Gay
Sorenson, a union member accepting
contributions for the paper said, ''To my
knowledge no one has called me." Sorenson can be reached at 343-6372.

Getting a charter and $SO (from the
ASLCC) and sponsoring fund raising
activities were two ideas for getting the
paper off the ground. Sorenson is checking
into commercial printing, which would run
about $20 per 1,000 copies. A five cent
donation was suggested as a way to pay for
the printing cost. Nothing definite was
settled on, however.
Keeping the focus of the newsletter local
was stressed, and finding issues relevant
to women at LCC. "I think it's important
to keep this local ... the thing to do, is to
arouse interest at the school," Romanoff
said. Leone Eisenhardt, another union
member said, "We shouldn't get discouraged and abandon the idea . . . if we
are going to make women aware of how the
system is oppressing us."
In other discussion, criticism of project
WhistleStop, a rape prevention program
sponsored by the Women's Awareness
Center last week. for "misleading information" on the sign announcing the project
("Prevent Rape . . . Buy a Whistle").
"Whistles are passive ... (you) need a gun
or knife or self-defense," Romanoff said.
The Lane Interagency Rape Team was also
criticized for its handout on self-protective
measures, particularly, how to talk yourself
out of a rape situation, for implying that
women take a passive role.
The LCC Family Planning Clinic came
under fire for statements in the February 11 TORCH which recommended the
Pill over other alternatives as the best form
of birth control for recently sexually active
young women. Those attending the
meeting felt in light of recent discoveries
about the Pill (its possible damages and
side effects) this statement unfair and
misleading.

Awareness Center. She discussed career opportunities and life styles for women.

"Especially if you 're not having intercourse regularly, you shouldn't always use
!he Pill .. _. my feeling is. use a diaphragm
tf not havmg regular intercourse," Renee
Romanoff said, "it's wrong for them to
recommend it above anything else."
The Women's Union meets every
Tuesday at 2:30 in the Center Building,

The man behi nd those start ling word s
At the end of the January 13 meeting of
the Student Senate, the rather dry
proceedings of the meeting were enlivened
when ASLCC Senator-at-Large Michael
Parry arose and made the following
statement.
"I am a contactee of extra-terrestrial
beings and a member of the Galactic
Command Space Complex (GCSC). I am a
part of the incarnate team of the GCSC and
we of the incarnate team are in conscious
contact with the other part of the GCSC
which is in orbit around the planet in four
great mother ships.''
He went on to say that the assignment of
the galactic beings is to establish true
Christ Communism on this planet so that
there will be an abundance of all goods and
all things will be shared in common and the
people of the world will live as a great one
world family.
When you first see Parry, you think you
might find him on a beach somewhere
behind an easel, painting the sunset. His
ever-present beret, (brown on even days,
orange on odd) and his shoulder length
black hair lend themselves to this
impression. His large brown eyes set
behind a hawkish nose on a well tanned
face have a look that is sometimes distant
and at other times. s-uch as when telling
one of his numerous anecdotes, is
childlike.
Parry. 43. who is currently taking 12
credit hours of Journalism and Radio
Broadcasting. has led a life that some of us
might find a bit bizarre. As the son of an
East Coast corporate executive, Parry had
a rather normal upper middle class . childhood . His parents steered him down the
road they had followed, Ivy League
education and law school, guiding him,
they thought. to a place in the world of
corporate finance.
But even then. during the Eisenhower
tranquility days of the early S0's. Parry·
illustrated that he was not one to blend
anon~·mousl_v into the crowd. As a college
sophomore. he managed to alienate many
of his Theta Delta Chi fraternity brothers
by speaking out and circulating a petition
against the McCarthy "Witch Hunt"
hearings of the House on Un American
Activities Committee (HUAC).
Visiting Parry at the Eugene commune
on Country Club Road, one does not know
quite what to expect. You'd think that the
large geodetic dome frame and large sign
with the legend, Universal Industrial
Church of the New World Comforter,
would cause some consternation among the
neighbors and casual passersby. However.
Parry says commune members have had no
problems ~ith outsiders. "We see little of
our neighbors," he says, "They're into
their straight lives and we 're into our not
so straight lives," he laughs. "Anyway,
they haven't burned any crosses on our
lawn yet'. 'he says with a hint of mischief in
his eye.
The house itself is set well back on the
property and was formerly the main office
for a construction firm. I must confess to
some feeling of hesitancy as I walked up
the gravel driveway to the door on a rather
dank and misty Thursday evening. I had
visions of being ushered into a candle lit
room with the commune members involved
in some elaborate ritual of communion with
beings from other worlds.
Nothing quite so extraordinary occurred
however, and in fact if not aware of Parry's
beliefs and life style, a stranger entering
the house for the first time might not think
it any different from any other house in
Eugene. That's the first impression; but
then you begin to notice things, little
things, small deviations from the standard
American middle class decor.
A noticeable lack of furniture in the
living room makes it seem abnormally
large and what furniture there is, several
pillows and a coffee table with shortened
legs, gives the impression that the house is
occupied by a family of dwarfs. "We like
to do our living here at low cozy level,''
says Parry as he settles back on several
pillows and stretches his legs out onto the
plush shag carpet that covers the floor from
wall to wall. "We feel it makes for a
relaxed atmosphere more conducive to
easy conversation," he adds.
Also
conspicuous in its absence is television.
"We had a set for a while but the children
got addicted to it and we got rid of it."
Parry says. However, an old RCA stereo

sits in the corner surrounded by a small
stack of albums, mostly remnants of the '
acid-freak burnt-out Haight Ashbury days
of the late 60s, groups like the Jeff
Airplane, Byrds, Big Brother, etc.
The founder and leader of the One World
Family Commune is Allen Michael, a
former interior decorator and sign painter
who claims that while painting a sign in
Long Beach, California, in 1947, he was
beamed aboard a flying saucer and asked
to become the earthly representative of the
ah-well. who ever it was that was flying the
saucer. He agreed and was returned to the
sign scaffolding. (His fellow sign painters
had not missed him since only his essence
or soul had been beamed aboard the
saucer. his body had remained on the
scaffolding and continued to paint.) After
some deliberation during which time
Michael tried to determine if the experi-

cnce had been real or a figment of his
imagination. Michael decided the experience was real and he proclaimed himself
the Cosmic Messiah and began working to
set up Communes.
Twenty-one years later Parry and his
family joined the San Francisco commune.
As we talk, Parry's two youngest
children are busy throwing paper airplanes
at us. Suddenly Parry checks his watch
and turns to the children. "You were
supposed to be in bed five minutes ago,''
he says to the oldest, "remember, we
made a deal." The children, already in
pajamas,. hem and haw and say "aw, Dad,
just a little longer?" But their protests are
in vain as Del shepherds them off to bed.
It could be any household in America.
Parry and I are sitting in Taylors;
drinking beer and talking of his life, when
he suddenly interrupts me to ask 11 there is
a Theta Delta Chi fraternity chapter in
Eugene. After I said I didn't know, Parry
leans back with a sparkle in his eyes, slaps
his knee and says; "Yea!, well_ if there is I

Science in 1954, Parry entered into a period
of restlessness and job hopping that was to
characterize his life until 1968. During
those 14 years, Parry spent one semester in
law school and two years in the Army and
the rest of the time worked at a variety of
jobs as widely diverse as Fuller Brush
salesman. Wall Street stockbroker, gas
station attendant, corporate trust banker,
bartender, and seller of mutual funds to
expatriated Americans in Spain and
France.
He worked at none of these jobs longer
than three years and arrived with a wife
and two children in San Francisco in 1968·
a year of great change for Parry and hi;
family. January of that year saw Parry a
respectable businessman living in a Marin
County split level and in December he and

his family were communal dwellers living
in the Haight-Ashbury district and running
a natural foods concession in the Family
Dog. a San Francisco rock palace wher~
groups such as the Grateful Dead and the
Jefferson Airplane performed.
•
In the preceding years Parry and his
wife Del had delved into Christian Science,
Buddhism and oriental mysticism. But up
until 1968 they had always maintained
their place in the straight world.
In early 1968 Parry had read of
Psychologist-Author Wilhelm Reich's travail with the U.S. Government. (Reich was
imprisoned and his works censored and in
some cases ·even burned as a result of his
expounding a radical psychological philosophy. He died in a Federal prison in 1957.)
This, coupled with the repressive tactics of
the Californian and federal law enforcement officials toward the anti-war movement, served to radicalize Parry. Both he
and Del decided to look for something more
meaningful in life, perhaps something
communal. They sold their house and most
of their belongings and loaded their

ought to pay a visit to my old fraternity
brothers. Tell'em I'm an old brother just
returned from Mars and come to save their
souls. HA! That would blow some of their
rigid little minds.'' Then suddenly, very
serious, he leans forward and whispers;
"You know I tried that once--when I lived
down in Berkeley--went to visit the Theta
Delta Chi chapter at Cal." He leans back,
frowns and throws his hands up, "They
listened to me politely,'' he went on, ''but
they just didn't seem to understand."
After graduating in English and Political

children into a station wagon and hit the
road. After a three state search, they
returned to San Francisco where they
settled in with the One World Family
Commune, of which they are still members.
The One World Family Commune is a
group, or rather four groups living in
communes in Eugene, Hawaii and California. The four communes contain nearly 75
members and eight of these members
reside in the Eugene commune. They
believe in a philosophy of what they call

"Christ Communism" where all the
belongings and money are shared in
common by the communal dwellers. They
practice vegeterianism, group marriage
and use psychedelic drugs for sacraments.
They claim to be in contact with
extra-terrestrial beings and see themselves
as the earthly vehicle through which this
new philosophy of Christ Communism is
being introduced on Earth.
Parry's life with the commune has not
been uneventful. Soon after joining, Parry
became heavily involved with psychedelics
and his fellow commune members. teeltng
Parry was acting irresponsibly, voted to
deny him access to the communal bank
account. Soon after the incident, using hi~
old credit cards. Parry went to the San
Francisco Airport and boarded a plane and
flew first to the East Coast and then tu
Europe with no real purpose in mind. As
he readily admits. he was acting strangely
at the time. Another time he goaded
another commune member. an ex-golden
gloves boxer, into a fight with the
predictable result that he was badh·
beaten. All this culminated in a one-da~·
expulsion from the commune because
commune members, who had already
suffered from police harassment felt th~:t
Parry·s strange behavior would only attrat'I
more of the same.
In the last few years. however. Parry ha~
mellowed. Although a regular user of pnt.
he takes psychedelics only on rare
occasions.
Interviewing Parry can be a reporter·~
dream and nightmare all rolled into one.
The interview is pretty much one sided
with Parry usually volunteering more
information than was asked for and the
interviewer merely trying to hang on and
guide the discussion along certain lines.
Like most people. he enjoys being
interviewed.
However, unlike most
people, the interviewer does not have to
prod or pry to get even the most intimate
information. His mind is always clicking
and he tends to explain things in huge
rambling abstractions that at first seemingly bear no relation to the question asked
but inevitably supply an answer that
exceeds the reporter's expectations. In
answer to a question about how he felt
when ridiculed for his beliefs. Parry began
by describing the sun as a huge fiery orb
mounted on a chariot and pulled across the
cosmos by four winged steeds. He tied it
all together with the ancient beliefs of
primitive man and how those beliefs were
challenged by Copernicus and how he was
ridiculed at that time but is now thought of
as a great man of vision, etc., etc .. etc.
Parry would make a good political speech
writer.
He sees himself as purveyor of new ideas
whose time has not yet arrived but is
rapidly approaching.
Parry, in letters to the LCC TORCH. ha~
recommended that the administration
resign and enroll as students at which
time LCC will become Lane Communal
College. He has even gone so far as to
stand up at a recent LCC board meeting
and ask LCC £'resident Eldon Schafer to
resign. Parry says he was serious and
although he didn't really expect Schafer to
resign he believes that eventually LCC will
become a communal college with everyone
teaching and learning from each other. He
goes on to say that although his proposals
, may be regarded as outrageous now. he
feels he must put forth the ideas in order to
get people thinking about and discussing
them. He compares his present situation
to that of past men who put forth ideas
which were regarded with scorn in their
time but whose ideas came to be regarded
as truth. Parry hastens to add thaf these
are not his ideas but rather are messages
from the Galactic Command Space Complex which are channeled through him.
"I'm just a head radio set," Parry says
in all seriousness, '' and the messages I
bring are not my own." "In fact, he says,
leaning forward and whispering, "we're all
head radio sets but just a few of us are
conscious of it."
If nothing else, Parry has m~de a name
for himself at LCC and when he stands to
speak at a Student Senate meeting his
fellr ·., Senators perk up their ears and
listen. not knowing quite what to expect
but eA:pecting something out of the

Cooperative Work

Jim Dennings, shop manager at Sheppard Motors, gives pointers to CWE student
Steve Shultz. Four of the six mechanics at She1i pard Motors are Lane graduates.

story and photos by Jeff Hayden,

As most college graduates find out when
looking for that first job, "people with
experience are the first ones hired."
The best way to solve this problem would
be to graduate from college with both work
experience and classroom instruction.
In Lane's Cooperative Work Experience
Program students work as employees of a
business or agency while enrolled at the
college in classes related t o the work he or
she is doing. Cooperative Work Experience is a requirement for graduation
from many of LCC' s vocational programs ..
College policy allows a maximum of 18
CWE credits to apply to a two year degree.
Normally, credit is earned at the rate of 1
credit for each 36 hours on the job.
The Cooperative Work Experience Program is not something new. For several
years students in Forestry and Farm
Mechanics have been exposed to summer
work experience in cooperation with an
employer and an LCC staff member.
"Today over 40 vocational CWE programs
and 28 college transfer disciplines are
available to students. The CWE staff
consists of a program coordinator, five
full -time and 21 part-time coordinators, a
full time secretary , and a part-time clerk.''
According to program coordinator Bob
Wa':/, "The purpose of CWE is to give
students the type of training that is not
available in the classroom." Students
learn ttieory in the classroom and acquire
the necessary practical skills and techniques in their lab sessions. The student
then works with a coordinator who acts as a
liason between industrial and professional
employers and the community college. By
placing the student in industrial and
professional areas where he can best apply
his vocational and technical background,
the coordinator assists the student in
making the transition to real work world.
The coordinator acts as a guidance

counselor. They talk to students and
determine the students' career interests
and job preference.
The coordinator often helps the student
land his first job. According to Way, "The
coordinators act as job developers. They
work directly with employers. They
convince employers that CWE is the way to
go and then they place the student with the
employer." He says the effort is a
cooperative one and the benefits are
shared.
A CWE brochure explains that the benefits
to the student are many. "His earnings
help him finance his education, leading to
self-dependence and independence and
contributing to his self-esteem and confidence. He sees better the relevance of
his classroom work to his on-the-job work.
Transition to full-time employment is
smoother; the student knows what to
expect. After some 360 hours on the job,
a student has a better idea if 'This is what "I
want to do for a living.' "
_Perhaps most importantly, the student
sees the real work world (that world where
we a.II earn our living, put food on our
tables, support our families), for what it is.
The student realizes, perhaps for the first
time , what it means to work as a laborer.
Norm Fogelstrom , when asked about
CWE employe Niel Edwards, said simply,
'He ' s just another laborer," anciNiel
agrees , " there's no difference between me
and these other guys. I'm a laborer and
that's that.' '
One student expressed concern over a
'' conspicuous deficiency in the educational
process at Lane," and asked what part the
CWE Program played in the alleviation of
this deficiency. He spoke in this way:
"I have no complaint at all concerning
the information , the techniques we (myself
and other students in vocational programs)
are ]earning. We leave having a market-

rest of the time.

CWE program coordinator Bob Way heads staff of five full-time and 21 part-time
coordinators, a full-time secretary, and a part-time clerk. Approximately 1,500 students
are expected to be enrolled in CWE in the 1975-76 academic year.

able skill. Lane equips us to go out and
work in the real world, we are able to earn
a living and support our families. But we
leave without an understanding of the
fundamental contradiction between labor
and management, b~twee,Tl labor and
capital. We leave without a fundamental
understanding of economics. This bothers
me. Here we are expected to live as
laborers, to join unions, and yet we don't
have an understanding of the historical
development of the labor movement, of the
union movement , and of how we as
individuals fit into this complex." Way
responded to this students inquiry in the
following way:
'' You are going to bear about management problems and union problems if you
• are working in a situation where that is
taking place. Part of the exposure you get
when you are in a co-operative work
experience program is that you hear men
grumbling about the union s and you hear
them grumbling about management. You
can't miss it. The fact is that it is there. In
the dassroom you wouldn't hear this. You
would be naive about the problem."
Coordinator Mike Hoggan puts it this
way, ' 'You learn theory here at school, you
learn reality out in the business world.''
One employer has this to say , "By
requiring productive labor of students for
graduation , LCC does the community a real
service . Lane graduates who have
participated in the CWE program leave
with a greater understanding of what it
means to work and live in the real world.''
Way explains that CWE benefits the
employer in the following ways:
" Our college is centered around preparing students for an occupation.
'' The bu yer of our product is the
employer . We have to prepare the
students to meet the employers' needs.
"The employer can call us and give us

the qualifications of the person they want.
We know our students well. With these
qualifications we can hand select several
qualified people and send them down fot
an interview. ''
He feels, "The program is very
effective, very efficient."
Last year there were 550 businesses and
agencies that hired our students. That
means there are 550 businesses and
agencies that know what kind of a product
LCC is putting out. If there are shortcomings in a program they let the
coordinator know and the coordinator then
Often
works with the department.
employers, due to their participation in
CWE become involved in the lay advisory
committees that Lane has. ''The employer
knows Lane's product and they can give
us advice on how we can better our
institution.''
An example of how the CWE Program
works can be seen at Sheppard Motors
here in Eugene. CWE student Steve
Schultz feels extremely good about the
experience and considers it an essential
part of his education. Hoggan works with
Steve . Together they outlined course
objectives and Hoggan checks Schultz's
progress weekly. Four out of the six
mechanics working at Sheppard Motors are
Lane graduates. Jitn Dennings, shop
manager, feels that the CWE experience is
"the best thing going."
The CWE Program benefits the college
also. When students and faculty are out
working with employers, everyone
benefits. The students help the faculty by
bringing job knowledge back to the
classroom to share with the fellow
students. Also the college has an easier
time placing graduates because they've
gained invaluable experience on the job.
Way feels, "The college becomes truly a
cnmmunity college, not some ivory tower
isolated from the work world."

*Prior work or educational experience
allows students to earn credit if prior
on-the-job or educational experience
approximates material or skills taught in
college courses. A student may be granted
up to 48 credits toward an LCC associate of
science degree in this program with a fee of
$4 per credit assessed in certain courses.
Each application for credit under this
provision is decided upon by the particular
department chairperson responsible for the
course in which work experience credit is
being requested. Students must submit
documents supporting that the work
experience is related to the area for which
~redits are requested.
*Evaluation by the Registrar's Office
allows students to receive credit for prior
training in unaccredited specialized
schools . The evaluation and decision is
made by the LCC Supervisor of Student
Records.

Basic Educational
Opportunity Grants
Rumors are flying around hundreds of
university financial aid offices this sprinr
as students and administrators alike
second guess the future of Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG).
Funding for the three-year-old student
grant program has fallen so short this
academic year that some 800 colleges
which applied for funds have been left in
the lurch. Unless Congress decid~s to
appropriate additional funds to the BEOG
program for this year, students grants
already awarded could be reduced by as
much as two-thirds.
The BEOG boondoggle is the result of
some Office of Education miscalculations
which predicted last year that only 56
percent of the students eligible for basic
grants this academic year would apply for
them.
But applications for the federal funds
poured into the Office of Education at the
rate of 40,000 a week last fall and even now
are arriving at the rate of 15,000 to 20,000 a
week. The 950,000 expected applications
jumped to more that 1.2 million candidates. At last count, some 74 percent of the
eligible students had applied for grants.
Funds were appropriated to the BEOG
program last year on the basis of the Office
of Education's prediction and for the first
time in the program's history, full grants of
$1400 were awarded. The average grant
for this year's recipients was $830.

But the cost to the government of
offering bigger grants to more people rose
from the early estimate of $840 million to
more than $1 billion and the difference has
still not been made up. While students
across the country wait anxiously for spring
payments, Congress is trying to decide
where to find the money to fill in the gap.
The Department of Health, Education
and Welfare (HEW) has asked Congress
for $180 million more for this year's grants,
if necessary taking the funds from another
student-assistance plan, the National Direct Student Loans. But is appears unlikely
that Congress will agree to taking from the
loan fund and giving to the grants.
An alternative resource suggested by
HEW is for Congress to bo:.-row the $180
million from the 76- 77 basic grant
appropriation, set by President Ford in his
budget proposal at only $1.2 million. HEW
Under-Secretary Marjorie Lynch recommended that the borrowed funds then be
replaced with supplemental appropriations.
Without additional funding, Lynch
warned, HEW would have to recalculate
more than a million financial aid packages
which had already been figured on the
basis of full bask grants. And worse,
Lynch said. the Office of Education would
have to try to collect some aid money
already awarded this year from students
who may have dropped out of school.

A bike path under consideration

The Oregon State Highway Division is considering the feasibility of constr~cting
a bike path adjacent to Interstate S, beginning at Riverview Street and endmg at
30th Avenue interchange. This 3.5 mile path would be protected from freeway
.
traffic the entire length.
In order to determine the need for such a facility, Mary McCluskey, bicycle
coordinator for Eugene Public Works, is asking that interested students fill out the
questionnaire below and return it to the Student Resource Center by March 1. The
results of the questionnaire could have a significant effect on the decision to
propose the bike path.

which route would you prefer to u s e ? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4.

How frequently do you think you would use the bike path along 1-5?

If the basic grant money is drawn from
next year's appropriation and Ford'~
budget passes as proposed, the financial
aid picture for next year will be even
bleaker. Ford's budget proposal for
BEOG's is based on a possible 1.27 milJiqn
students applying for the grants, or 60
percent of those students eligible to apply.
But with seniors eligible to apply for the
grants for the first time next year. the
number of those applying will probably be
much higher. If the funding for BEOG's is
not increased, next year's students may
find the maximum grants available slashed

from $1400 to only S735. And if the
;>articipation rate goes up to 80 p_ercent
.vhich some officials think is likely. the
maximum grant could be more like $680
and the average around $428.
Some 3400 post-secondary institutions
received their full share of grant money
before the funds dried up. But until
Congress acts on some additional funding
for the program, the other 800 or so
schools will have to decide whether they
can afford to make up the promised federal
funds themselves or turn away students
who can't pay their fees.

3,421 enrolled at LCC on financia l aid
by Sherri Shaffer
Approximately 3,421 students are enrolled this term in one or more of LCC's 11
Financial Aids programs. "I'm sure more

Loan students may borrow money at a 3 per
cent interest. Repayment may be extended
over a 10 year period while the borrower is
a student. If the borrower is eventually

Willner campaigns at LCC
by Todd Johnstone
Don Willner brandished his experience
and legislative record to a small audience
during a campaign stop Monday at LCC.
Willner, seeking the Democratic nomination for Oregon's attorney general
position, is being opposed in the nomination battle by State Treasurer Jim Redden
of Medford and by Portland's Richard
Magruder.
Saying his record reveals a long
• involvement in issues which are now
attracting great amounts of student
interest, Willner pointed out legislative
accomplishments in the fields of human
rights, environmental preservation and
consumer protection.
The Portland attorney, saying he is the
head of a law office and a part-time
member of Oregon's Circuit Court, claims
he possesses more legal experience than
his opponents.
In an interview, Willner expressed his
opposition to Senate Bill One calling the
proposed revision of the federal criminal
code a ''tremendous threat to civil
liberty.''
Willner, discussing the state's energy
needs, said he has "great doubts as to
whether nuclear power is safe,'' The
candidate says he believes more energy
will be needed in the future, but he
stressed the importance of energy conserv-

ation in meeting future energy needs and
he advocated an inverted rate structure for
energy consumers and the development of
labor intensive industry.
If' elected, Willner says consumer
protection will receive more emphasis that
it is currently receiving from the attorney
general's office. Willner envisoned
transforming the job of attorney general
into a "peoples lawyer" position and said
he wants to "make sure people feel they
are getting a fair shake from government.''

Dotson overhea rs,
gets Cessna 310
by Barbara Willett
A chance conversation overheard by Bert
Dotson, assistant to President Schafer,
about an airplane last November, has
.resulted in the acquisition of a $50,000
aircraft for $3,000 by the Flight Technology
Dept. of LCC.
The Cessna 310, business liner, is being
made flight ready now in Oletha, Kansas
and will be flown back to Eugene by Jacki
Kreitz, Flight Technology Dept. chairman,
hopefully during the first week in March.
The airplane, originally owned by the Air
Force in 1957, was later passed on to the
Air Force National Guard and eventually
declared surplus by the Guard. An aircraft
declared surplus by the government cannot
be sold on the open market but must be
sold to an institution supported by federal
funds.
It was purchased by Johnson Community
College (JCC) in Shawnee Mission,
Kansas. However, after putting $16,000
into complete overhauls of both engines,
new upholstery and other inprovements,
the Flight Technology Department at JCC
folded. The airplane was declared surplus
again by the Dept. of Health, Education
and Welfare (HEW), who set the price at
$2,500. This was when Dotson became
aware of its availability and passed the
information on to the LCC Flight Technology Dept.
LCC made application through HEW
stressing its need for the Cessna for both
the Flight Technology Dept. and the
Mechanics Dept. With a little help from

Two plays in one weekend

There are so many plays around the Eugene area at present time that there ought to be
something for everyone. Having had a busy schedule, I was able only to see two of the
vast1v different productions over the weekend .. And there are others.
BILL SHAKESPEARE'S ROMEO AND JULIET open at a most unlikely "theatre," the
Central Presbyterian Church. It is staged imaginatively by Mike Major, whose original
play, "horizons of Blue Horses," was presented at the WOW Hall a few months ago.
In fact, the word imaginative isn't enough. The play was alive. When }'.ou're dealing
with a Shakespearean play, the key question lies in whether the myth of Shakespeare has
been transcended. Do the characters live and breathe (and in this case--die?).
Shakespeare is like Babe Ruth. If you put a New York uniform number 3 on just any fat
guy, he isn't necessarily going to hit. Likewise, not just any local theater is going to be
able to han.dle Shakespeare.
The way that the production managed to keep to Shakespeare's script (I fully expected
that the play would be overhauled) an,d in effect present a viable and vital Romeo and
Juliet under extremely difficult conditions \l. ithout looking too much like a bunch of
.
amatuers, caught me totally by surprise.
ROMEO AND JULIET is a joint production of Major's Poverty Playhouse and the New
Globe Theater. It also features a couple of mimes of whose affiliation I'm not certain. It is
styled to fit the talent and the stage; the stage being nothing more than a throw rug
surrounded by four candlesticks.
Elayne Puzan 's obvious pregnancy is not written into the script. Nothing is written into
the script. Puzan's performance as Juliet was emotive and excellent, particularly in the
balcony scene.
In most of the other parts, the acting is also excellent and confident; professional
direction obviously helps the performances. The soliloquies are delivered naturaIIy, as
the actors work in the round, making eye contact with the audience.
Contact with the audience is also established through inviting the audience to nosh a
little during the Capulet's ball.
• Other acting standouts (alas--space comes too dear to· praise over much) are Skiff
Ford-the friar; Scott palton-Capulet; Larry Miller-Tybalt; Mike Major-Mercutio; and
Debby Martin-Juliet's nurse. Chip Gore's Romeo was a weak point in the production.
Not that he was bad; his presence is good, but his characterization is one-dimensional.
I don't know how to recommend it more
highly--but it's not for everyone.
Anna Cora Mowatt's FASHION is

Kern's Gallery on Villard Street.

On February 24 and 25, at 4:00 in Forum
301, the ASLCC Student Activities Program will present "Citizen Kane." Touted
as being one of the best motion pictures
ever made, it will be presented on the LCC
campus free of charge.
Orson Welles was only 25-years-old
when he wrote, directed and starred in
"Citizen Kane." It is the story of Charles
Foster Kane; detailing his life of relative
obscurity to his death. Kane's last word
before he dies, ''Rosebud,'' sends a
reporter off and running to discover the
meaning of the man_'s life. He receives five
views, sometimes overlapping, often conKane's
flicting, of various events:
inheriting a fortune as a child, his building
a journalism empire, his promising but
eventually abortive political campaign, his
two advantageous but unsuccessful and
loveless marriages, and his lonely, friendless death at his never finished but palatial
estate, Xanadu.
The film is based loosely and contains
some pointed parallels to the life of
William Randolph Hearst. Considered
innovative and before his time, the film
was made in 1941 by the relatively-newto-the-business Orson WeIIes.
"Citizen Kane" is the subject to which
entire books have been devoted.

Sachdev will be accompanied by Tabla
(Indian hand drums) and drone instruments.
Mr. Sachdev is considered to be the
foremost exponent of mood in Indian
music. He has performed professionally
for the past fifteen years, the last five in
the United States. Sachdev has performed
at music festivals, colleges, universities,
and on television. The musician teaches
flute at the Ali Akbar College of Music near
San Francisco.

those great artists you don't
know how to describe because
there are hardly any words.
'Marvelous' won't quite do.
His playing defines what simplicity and beauty are.''
Jon Hendricks, San Francisco
Chronicle.
In India, music has always been
considered to be a vitalizing force in
building up the emotional and spiritual life
of an individual. And so, each raga has its
own principal mood such as devotion,
tranquility, etc. There is an awareness of
the harmony between man and nature,
each acting and reacting to the other;
hence, each raga is associated, according
to its mood, with a particular time of the
day or night or season. Mr. Sachdev's
concert will feature rainy season ragas.

fired was empty at the time of the shooting.
The presence in Dallas of two men who
looked like W atergaters Hunt and Sturgis
is made more suspicious by evidenc':! that
they were taken away by a man who was
Jressed similar to, but not quite like, a
Dallas cop.
She believes that the Warren Commission deliberately destroyed 35 pieces of
evidence, and passed over some 180
pieces, including 25,000 feet of film .
The autopsy of the President's body was
done by an unqualified military doctor, one
who had never before conducted an
autopsy.

Two LCC wrestlers go to nationals

And so on. After hearing Mae :Brussell
speak for an hour, one is left wondering
whom to believe.
Invariably she is asked why it is that the
CIA allows a thorn in its side, such as she,
to communicate freely.
Her answer brings to mind an anecdote
she claims she plucked from the documentary agenda to the Warren Report.
Pondering what to do about certain
embarrassing information, Allan Dulles
realized that to burn it might cause distrust
and he suggested instead to publish it,
reasoning, "No one will read it anyway."
"If I was reaching more people." says
Mae Brussell, "I wouldn't be alive."

feels that the program, although based on
video observation, should still contain an
element of personal instruction.
''The program is not very valuable on its
own." he continues, "1 can't envision
students sitting through nothing but 30
minute video tapes." But the ACCESS
program is , says Alvergue, a "good thing
as a supplement to education."
To change, or supplement the program,

gritty star. "It'd be much easier to say to
heck with it and stay in bed but that's not
the kind of guy Nugent is.''
Heavyweight Booth has been very
healthy this season. At the Regionals he
pinned two opponents and won his title
match 9-1. "He's got an excellent shot at
the national title," says Creed. Booth
finished second last year.
While the National competition concludes the season for Booth and Nugent,
the remainder of the team wound up action
last weekend. Lane placed fourth in the
regionals with 28 1/2 points behind
Northern Idaho with 110 points.
But for Creed, that was a week to forget.
Bad luck started on Monday when 190
pound star Jon Hanson broke his foot in
practice and was lost to the team. Hanson,
who was undefeated, had been touted to
win a title. Then Nugent turned up with
the flu and missed practices on Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday but made the
trip and competed Friday and Saturday in
the regionals. In addition. other wrestlers
didn't fare as well as Creed had hoped.
But Creed was pleased with determined
performances by Mike Geiber, Ken Northcutt. and Dave Ehrich, all of whom won
preliminary matches before losing.
''I thought we competed very well,
considering the handicaps," says Creed.
Overall, this was Lane.'s best season
ever. The Titans placed second in the
league (5-1 }, placed second in the
conference championships with their highest point total ever. and finished fourth in
the regionals.

Two wrestlers--Mark Booth and Larry
Nugent--will represent Lane Community
College in the National Junior College
Athletic Association Championships,
Thursday through Saturday in Worthington, Minnesota.
These wrestlers qualified for the nationals in last weekend's Region 18 Junior
College Championships at Oregon City.
Coach Bob Creed says he hopes his
two-man team can bttter last year's finish
When the Titans scored 23 points to wind
16th in a field of 105 teams.
"These are very strong wrestlers," says
Creed of Nugent and Booth . "Both are
capable of winning the national individual
titles. Especially if they're healthy."
Being "healthy" has been a problem for
Creed's team this year. At least one
wrestler has been sick or injured for each
meet this season.
Now it is Nugent's turn.
Nugent, who wrestles at 134 pounds. is
just coming off a severe bout with the flu.
But Nugent is a gutty wrestler who will
compete as long as he can still crawl to a
meet. At the Region 18 Championships,
Nugent was bed-ridden with a high fever
but still showed up for his matches. He
competed, won and returned to bed to
await his next match. He won twice, but
when he began coughing up blood Coach
Creed refused to allow him to participate in
the championship match. Thus, he
forfeited giving him his first loss of the
season.
•'That really takes a little character to do
something like that," says Creed of his

Tuition hike

____________________

continued from
page I
__:___:::

A half-hour later, about 35 students marched through the
student union and the dorms, carrying hand-printed signs
announcing "Fight the tuition hike--it' s not our crisis," and
"If you ain't got the bucks, you gotta bitch." About 40
students ended up picketing in front of the University's
administration building and eventually marched to the offices
of the State System'of Higher Education on the second floor .
After angrily pounding on the windows and walls of the
offices, the students asked Vice-Chancellor Bill Lemman and
assistant John Richardson who was responsible for the tuition
increases.
When Richardson said he wasn't responsible and told the
group that Chancellor Roy Lieuallen was out of town,
frustrated students told Richardson to ''tell the chancellor
that we're on to his tricks."
•
Richardson later told the Emerald that Lieuallen was at
the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center in Portland
"at an aooointment he's had for two months."
Facio~ the student demands, Richardson told the group,
"I'm sorry--I'm not trying to give you the run-around." He
told them that since the state board made tuition decisions,
they should attend the meeting in Portland. The RSB and the
CFRE have been planning the Portland protest for some time.
Bert Knorr, chief organizer of most of the group's efforts,
finally called out that "We're not gonna get anything out of
this guy'" but encouraged everyone to turn out for the car
caravan to Portland that the groups had organized.
Knorr later said that he was "pretty pleased" with the
turnout at the rally. "Regardless of whether we win or not
this year, we've shown them that we're gonna fight back, and
in broad numbers, not just a handful."

The noon rally attracted about 100 students who listened to
speeches and songs led by the RSB and the CFRE. The
speeches attacked the state board "fat cats," declaring that
"they're cutting back on education for one reason and one
reason only--profit.' '
''The rich will have to dig a little deeper into their own
pockets this time 'cause we're gonna fight to keep them out of
ours," called out one woman. She was met with cheers from
both group members and spectators.

Cells prove womanhood
(CPS)--With or without medals, the women who competed in
the Olympic winter games at Inm,bruck will return to America
with certificates to prove they are female. Each of the women
contestants in the Olympics are tested at a hospital to find if
they have more than their fair share of male-characteristic
cells. The object is to find strengthening male hormones in
the female competitors.
Some of the female athletes at the Olympics were outraged
and suggested that men should have to undergo the same test
for strengthening agents. But Anne Henning, a gold medalist
in the 1972 winter games and now a sports commentator
thought it was very funny.
"(In 1972) they gave me a certificate showing I am a
woman," she said. "I have it hanging in my bedroom."
