To attend student conference in Washington

â€¢
,n
D.C.
Parry and McLain represent LCC

by Todd Johnstone TORCH Staff

During a special session last Thursday, -the Student Senate selected TORCH
Editor Mike McLain and Student Senator
Michael Parry to attend the United States
National Student Association <USNSA)
conference in Washington, D.C. â€¢
McLain and Parry will travel to
Washington on March 8 to attend the
conference. The cost of sending the two
delegates will be approximately $1300 and
it will be drawn from the Student
Government budget.
The USNSA conference is a lobbying
conference which will attempt to expose
students to important issues concerning
them and attempt to relate the methods of
bringing student concerns to the attention
of Congress.
" I don't intend to lobby. I intend to go
and gather input," said McLain as he
asserted that the ethics of journalism
would prevent him from taking a formal
~-tand on the issues being discussed during
the conference . McLain said it would be
unethical for him to be involved in
decisions on which he was reporting.
Following McLain' s selection as a
delegate to the conference, some members
of the Senate eÂ·xpressed doubts as to
McLain ' s ability to represent LCC if he
would not take a formal stand on issues
'..Jeing discussed during the confererlce.
McLain replied that he was qualified to
represent LCC because he was aware of the
attitudes and sentiment present at the
school and because he would share these
sentiments and attitudes with other
delegates as he was gathering information
during the conference.
After reconsidering and then reaffirming

Mike McLain
McLain's selection, the Senate expressed a
desire to send a voting delegate to the
conference and it passed a motion which
allowed Parry to attend and serve as the
second delegate.
Last Friday LCC Student Body President
Len Wass om vetoed the motion which
allowed two delegates to attend the
conference.
Wassam, in a memo to the Student
Senate, expressed his rationale for issuing

the veto. He said: "The amount of money
necessary to expend to send two delegates
to Washington D.C. is not in my opinion in
the best interests of the student body.
Also, I think that the action isn't within the
expectations of the student body.''
As a result of Wassom's veto of the
motion, the Student Senate held another
special meeting on Monday. During the
meeting the financial state of the Student
Government's budget was discussed and

Said to be in violation of right to freedom of speech

Mandatory workshop target of criticism
by Cris Clarke TORCH Staff

LCC Speech Instructor Jack Robert feels
that the recent Affirmative Action Workshop infringed on people's right to freedom
of speech.Â·
The Feb. 6 workshop was sponsored by
the LCC Education Association (LCCEA),
the LCC Employees Federation (LCCEF),
and the LCC Faculty Council, and was
approved by the LCC Board on Jan. 28.
The workshop was deemed by the LCC
administration a ''mandatory'' assembly of
the whole LCC faculty. But, says Robert,
"By making it mandatory, and not clarifying what the sanctions were going to be for
not attending, you deprive people of the
ability to make a free and conscious
decision."
What Robert says, essentially, is that
LCC drafted the audience. And the

Jack Robert

mandatory attendance requirement therefore infringed on people's tights simply
because no justifiable reason was given to
force faculty and staff members to attend.
"The law (Art. 1, Bill of Rights) provides
for you to say what you want to say,"
Robert says , ''but it does not guarantee
you an audience. The workshop infringed
on the rights of people , not to listen by
having a mandatory attendance requirement.''
The mandatory requirement was an
example, says Robert, of coercion as
opposed to persuasion. "As an educational institution we ar~ proliferous toward
democracy:
Persuasion rather than
coercion, the basic foundation of all
democratic societies,'' says Robert.
But LCC Language Instructor Karla
Schultz, one of the workshop planners,
says that the _only way the workshop
could have been a success was to have
everyone attend. "We went to the
Administration and asked for release
time . . . it was understood that
everyone would have to attend because
it was a work day," says Schultz.
She continues, ''The planners and
sponsors were very concerned that the
entire staff attend and be benefitted, which
indirectly benefits students.''
But Robert says that the students were
ripped-off in that when they pay tuition for
a certain amount of in-class learning, they
are absolutely entitled to that class
learning time, and cancelling classes for
the workshop interfered with that time.
''The paradental school is by law
required to give students a specific number
of hours of class time ... and the workshop
interfered with this," Robert says.
He adds that no student input was
considered concerning the cancellation of

classes for the workshop. "The student
body had grounds to establish a legal
injunction against LCC."
And, according to Robert, there were
other problems with the workshop.
He feels that the in-service time the
faculty has at the beginning of each year
would have been a sufficient time to take
care of the workshop without infringing on
anyone'.s rights. ''They never provided a
rationale as to why we needed the
workshop at that particular time,". says
Robert. "What the workshop entailed was
an in-service activity."
Not only were students put in an
awkward position, says Robert, some
faculty members' schedules were disrupted by the workshop.
"Those instructors who had a prepared
syllabus had to rearrange and reschedule
everything . . . it affected these people
more," he says.
Says Schultz, "The time- was granted for
a specific purpose. I think it's a proper and
justifiable thing for the Board to provide
this.''
â€¢
And, according to Robert, the Faculty
Council, one of the co-sponsors of the
workshDp, unjustifiably co-sponsored the
event. "Mike Rose (chairman of the
Fb.culty Council) made the decision to
co-sponsor it without asking the Council to
vote on it." â€¢
But Rose says that he queried the
Steering Committee of the Council before
he made the decision. "I took a poll of the
Steering Committee--and the committee
said 'yes, ' " says Rose. "I think Affirmative Action is here and something we as
professionals are obligated to be aware
of," Rose continues. "Ideally it should
have been done during in-service, but
people thought that we couldn't wait until

some members of the Senate said they felt
the Student Government possessed enough
money to send two delegates to the
conference. The Senate then overrode
Wassom's veto and consequently Parry
will attend the USNSA conference as a
voting delegate.
During the conference issues concerning
financial aid, veterans benefits, food
stamps, child care and voter registration
will be discussed.

No grant for

CCC after -all

by_Michael Riley TORCH Staff
The Coalition of Concerned Citizens
(CCC) did not receive a $200 grant from the
Associated Students of LCC (ASLCC) as
reported in last week's TORCH.
The Coalition is composed of members
representing several campus organizations
including the ASLCC, the Association of
Veterans and the Women's Union. It was
formed to unite opposition against a tuition
increase at LCC which the LCC Board of
Education passed at its Feb. 11 meeting.
Robert MacMaster, facilitator for the
CCC, explained to the TORCH in an
interview Monday, March 1, that there has
not been any transfer of monies from the
ASLCC to the CCC. He said the ASLCC
had merely voted on an appropriation of
$200 for later allocation to the college
Business Office, and the money is to be
used for obtaining information from LCC' s
general ledger.
Mac Master, who is also a member of the
ASLCC, added that the CCC will not
receive any money from the ASLCC and
that there has been no action taken to
transfer that money into- the CCC.

Latest poop on OSU

(CPS)--Sorority women at Oregon State
University (OSU) have been plagued with
calls and appearances by an unidentified
man known to Corvallis police as Diaper
Man.
So far Diaper Man has been spotted
wandering through three sorority houses
and a clothing store wearing only a diaper.
His telephone calls have included invitations to women to change his diapers.
The first sighting of the diaper draped
exhibitionist was made shortly after
Thanksgiving, when a women inside an
OSU sorority saw a man standing on a
catwalk outside the house wearing only a
diaper and holding a box of baby powder.
"We have reason to believe he is a
college student," officers on the cas~
speculated.

Gun Control and the Bill of Rights
by Bill Buckle
In 1789, the first Congress was flooded with 145 proposed amendments to the
Constitution. Ten of these were finally ratified in 1791 to become the Bill of Rights.
The Second Amendment states that '' A weJI. regulated militia, being necessary to the
security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be
infringed.'' While many citizens are aware of their rights under the Second Amendment
few are aware of the difficulties encountered by our founding fathers in securing those
rights.
"The Chair recognizes Senator Sullivan."
"Mr. President, I wish to draw the senate's attention to proposal number 43,
concerning the possession of arms by private citizens. This proposed amendment is in
direct opposition to my Omnibus Crime Control and Public Safety Bill. This movement to
place guns in the hands of citizens has been instigated by the National Flintlock
Association (NFA), and must be nipped in the bud before the people assume it is their
right to keep firearms.''
"Mr. Sullivan, we are all aware of your committee for public safety, do you have any
further arguments against proposal number 43?''
"Yes, indeed, Mr. President. The elimination of all privately owned guns would
greatly reduce the accidental death rate in this country. Research conducted by my
committee has shown that by taking away all the guns and eliminating federal aid to
highway construction would reduce the accidental death rate by over 50,000 in the coming
year."
"50,000 lives saved is a very impressive figure, Mr. Sullivan, but I don't see hov.
reducing the federal aid to highways is going to reduce accidental deaths."
"While exploring ways to insure public safety, my committee discovered that by
reducing the number of passable roads in the country, the traffic accident rate could be
greatly reduced. ~his combined with a ban on guns, and perhaps legislation against
teaching people to swim, so they would not be tempted to go in the water and risk
drowning, Â·could all but eliminate accidental deaths.,,,' Senator, I am sure we would all like to help reduce the accidental death rate, but I
don't think the public is ready for restrictions against highway travel. How many
accidental deaths will be prevented by the restriction of personal firearms?"
"Well sir, the figures are not complete, however we are sure the total will be well over
2,000 every year. While this figure is not exact, you must remember it does not include
those persons killed each year in gun fights between criminals and their victims. This is
the area where the greatest savings in lives will be shown after the guns are gone. You
can imagine the great help this will be to our law officers who will be secure in the
knowledge that only criminals had guns."
"I see your point senator, but how does that help the citizen who is being attacked or
robbed by a criminal who is secure in the knowledge that there are no guns around to
prevent him from making a living? "
''There are some minor drawbacks, however if a citizen confronted by a criminal does
not offer any resistance it is unlikely that he will be harmed. In any case the losses will be
a small price to pay."
" A small price to pay for what?"
"For the elimination of firearms, so that people will not be tempted by the easy
availability of gun to commit murder. It is the gun after all that is responsible for the
majority of murders committed each year."
"That is an interesting viewpoint senator, but I was under the impression that our laws
.
considered the felon guilty of his crime and not his gun."
"That might appear to be the case, however, our courts have proved otherwise. As you
will find out upon close examination, guns used in felonies are destroyed, whereas the
felon is given minimum sentencing or probation.''

Of course, that's why the Chinese invited

Day Care teacher to rennovate program

by Yvonne Pepin
Five-year-old David throws a plate of
Â·macaroni on the floor then grinds it into the
carpet with his foot. So Jane Wagner, the
new head teacher of the LCC Day Care
Â·center, goes to work.
In her first week as new head teacher of
the center, Wagner, a small, energetic
woman of 26 deals daily with child antics
such as David' s. "Being with kids eight
6ours a day is real energy-draining,"
she confesses.
â€¢ Originally working on a degree in French

.Literature, Wagner was interested in child
care after spending one summer workingÂ·
with children in California. "I always liked
being around children a lot but hadn't
thought about making it a career, aside
from being a mother, which I wasn't ready
for," she said.
Wagner enrolled and completed the two

by Sherri Shaffer
The Hoe Dads, a cooperativ.e tree
planting group from the Eugene area,
presented a slide show and discussion last
week for 18 women in the Women's
Awareness Center.
The Hoe Dads, who get their name from
a tool they use, have been in existence for
two years. Of their 300 members, approximately one-third are women, ages ranging
from 19 to 37.
" Tree planting is very strenuous,"
explained Sidney Sherwood, one of the
speakers. "If you can plant a tree you can
do almost anything, it gives you a sense of
independence. ,; During the slide show
which showed the planters at work and also
after hours in camp, Sherwood said that
although the pay is good (workers often
making from $30 to $SO a day) the money is
eaten up in care of the old buses , gas,
protective clothing and tools.
The Hoe Dads call themselves a cooperative group because they work together for a
alt e rnative society, said Sherwood and
other members . Workers are not paid in
accordance to the number of trees planted
individually but on a group average. Eight
per cent of each pay check is withheld as a

membership fee and put into a cash
reserve. When other co-ops are getting
started or having troubles , the Hoe Dads
give their support through loans dispersed
out of the reserve. Lately they have helped
the Community Health Center, and the
WOW Hall when it almost closed down.
The women kept speaking of the spirit of
the group. The tree planting season lasts
from November to May or June, with the
crews staying out anywhere from two to
three weeks. "You see everyone in
different stages," said Dawn Posann,a.
Someone may be super high while
someone else is super low, ready to quit.
But there's always someone there to give
you support," she said.
"If it weren't for the co-op, if I were just
a tree planter I would have given up a long
time ago," added Sherwood.
When asked how the job market looked
for women trying to get into tree planting
now, the speakers said they did not want to
get up anyone's hopes. More and more
groups are trying to get women in and
there is a turnover , but nothing could be
guaranteed. "Instead of trying to get into
a group, try to start one," suggested
Posanna. "It's a very crazy but alive life."

A sewing course where students can take
whichever aspects of sewing they choose is
just one of the types of programs offered at
the Siuslaw Skills Center, an outreach
center of LCC, in Florence.
For the course, entitled Sewing With a
Goal, students purchase a $30 block of
instruction, good for one year. They take a
punch card around to the different course
sections, but are not required to take all
sections. This program generates enough
income to offset its cost, said Al Owens,
director of the Siuslaw Skills Center. It was
created to replace the traditional knit fabric
course in sewing, which was not meeting
students' needs.
Students taking business courses also
have the opportunity to come in at any time
they want. They, too, have a time card and
work toward a one-year certificate program
or complete part of the two-year associate
of arts degree.
The Center also offers Accounting,
Secretarial Skills, a federally-funded Basic
Education program, a Management program and a real-estate sequence to meet
in-service requirements for realtors to
renew their licenses. A 72-hour Emergency Medical Training program is
available for people who work in ambulances. It was designed by the American
Institute of Cardiology and falls between a

Area educators and personnel staffs are
invited to attend a workshop at Lane
Community College on women in skilled
trades. The afternoon workshop will be
Saturday, March 6, from 1 to 5 p.m.
"A Blue Print for Change" is sponsored
by the LCC Women's Awareness Center,
the Lane County Women's Political
Caucus, and the newly organized Women's
Commission of the City of Eugene.
Organizers say the purpose of the
workshop is to change the educational
atmosphere for young women at the point
in their lives where they are making
decisions as to career choices.
In addition, organizers say they hope to
learn enough about the apprenticeship and
training program to identify the problems,
as pertain to women, and begin to work on
legislative changes.
The main address will be given by
Margaret Lumpkin, School of Education at
Oregon State University and Oregon
Federation of Teachers Chairwoman on
Human Rights. She plans to talk about
"Career Choices--What are the options for
female students.''
Six simultaneous workshops are planned
during the afternoon. They include
"Unions andWomen" with Joyce Dipple of
the Retail Clerks Union and Grace
Cameron of the Lane County Women's
Political Caucus; "Public Education" with

Steward Boxing Club. Higareda expects
his first professional fight to occur within
the next one to three months.
Higareda learned to box at age 15 while
enrolled in the Utah State Industrial School
and he has fought as an amatuer in Utah,
Colorado and Idaho.
Planning to fight under the name "The
Apache Kid," Higareda says that despite a
five-year lay-off from boxing he is still in
good form and in fair physical shape.
Higareda's re-entrance into boxing
occurred last month after he watched a
fight between Johnnie "Stanton" Steward
of Springfield and Princess Red Star from
Smith River, California.
Following the fight, which Steward lost,
Higareda offered to give boxing advice to
Steward and he was asked to attend a
training session. He did so, and after
working out he was told his form looked
good and that he ought to try out as a
prof~ssional_boxer.

Violence erupts over tuition hikes

Tuition hikes and teacher cutbacks, all
caused by state education budgets being
tightened to the squeaking point, have
provoked violent student demonstrations in
New Jersey recently as well as a bizarre
incident in Detroit involving animal guts.
In New Jersey, 8,000 protesting students
and teachers gathered at the state house in
Trenton as several of their leaders met
inside with New Jersey Governor Brendan
Byrne.

As some of the demonstrators pushed
their way towards the capitol doors, they
were met by club-swinging police. Six

firing of 38 teachers.
Patterson College was also the scene of a
demonstration a few days after the Board
of Trustees incident when about 400
students left a spontaneous rally, marched
off to the school's administration building
where about 150 students swept inside and
demanded to see the president. The
presiden't, who has since resigned under
Trustee pressure, was not in the building
at the time and the crowd dispersed.
At Wayne State University in Detroit,
three students angry at what they called
WSU president George Gullen's "insistence at running a factory rather than a
school," invaded the executive wing of the
. school's administration building and scattered about smelly globs of animal entrails
on the office floors of the top three
â€¢university administrators. Included in the
mess was the head of a decomposed goat.
Gullen, a former American Motors vice
president, has often been attacked in the
past by faculty and students for using what
they call a "corporate mentality" in
Irunning the 37,000 student school. The
attacks have picked up as the school ' s
money crisis has worsened in the past two
years.
Both New Jersey and Michigan are
tightening their educational belts as state
budgets tilt more and more towards the
red. New Jersey Governor Byrne has
announced a state budget that will slice $30
million off an already bare boned budget.
The state currently ranks 50th in state
appropriations to higher education.
Students in the New Jersey state college
system will be forking over 32 percent
more tuition next year with the average
student paying $265 additional fees. When
the state chancellor of education announced the hike in early February, he was
pelted with eggs from the audience and
allowed as how he indeed took seriously
the threat of a student tuition strike.
Cutbacks have been equally severe in
Michigan where the state budget is still
reeling from two years of depression in the
auto industry. Wayne State has been
forced to take the budget axe to just about
everything. "We've just about reached
the stage of cutting back on toilet paper,''
quips WSU executive vice-president Edward Cushman, himself a former American
Motors vice president whose office was
also splattered with animal innards on the
day of the attack.
WSU president Gullen is actually no
stranger to dead animal parts. Last spring,
in the midst of a chaotic meeting dealing
with the phaseout of a widely praised
experimental college within the university,
he and the WSU Board of Governors were
presented with a huge pig's head by a
student member of the Worker's Revenge
Party. An accompanying note read:
"Pig's Head Meets Head. Pigs." Earlier
this year, at another Board of Governor's
meeting, university police nabbed a
student approaching Gullen with a cream
_pie hidden under his coat.

The seminar was sponsored by the Auto

Titans win
title again
by Fred Crafts SID

Lane Community College's basketball
team has won its second consecutive
Oregon Community College Athletic Association championship.
This accomplishment moves the Titans
into post-season regional tournament play.
''This has been our most successful
season ever,'! says Coach Dale Bates.
"I'm certainly proud of the team."
Lane finished the regular season on a
12-game winning streak, winding Â·up
league play with a 16-2 mark and the
season with an overall record of 23-5.
Bates calls the team ''the best I've ever
coached."
For Lane, this was a difficult season.
Overall, the league had better balance than
ever before, says Bates. In addition, as
defending champion Lane found its
opponents trying exceptionally hard to
defeat them. Only five did.
"The team really came together," says
Bates. "This was the toughest schedule in
LCC history. We played some very, very
tough teams. The guys never gave up."
Bates credits tight defense for jelling the
team and producing the big season-ending
win streak.
Lane now advances to the Region 18
Junior College Championships in Twin
Falls, Idaho (a four-team tourney). Lane
will play its first game Friday at 7 p.m.
against the winner of a playoff between
Ricks College and Northern Idaho Community Colle-ge which will be held
Thursday at 7 p.m. at Twin Falls.
Obviously, this schedule poses some
scouting problems for Bates, but it could
also work in Lane's favor, as the playoff
winner probably will be somewhat tired for
Friday night's games. That remains to be
seen, however.
Bates says he will take a contingent of 11
players and four coaches and supporting
staf! to the regionals. He says he won't
announce his starting line up until
gametime in order to match up against the
opposition.
"We are really pleased to be in the
regionals," says Bates. "If we can get by
our first opponent, then this will have been
a super season for us."
Bates points out that Southern Idaho
Community College will vie with the
OCCAA second place team in the second
game of Friday night's doubleheader. He
figures Southern Idaho, the nation's
number-one ranked junior college team,
will probably win the entire tournament. .
"They' re certainly awesome ," he says.
"They're big and they're talented.
They've got everything going for them.
We' re going over there with the idea of
winning it all but, realistically, Southern
Oregon is one of the best teams I've ever
seen.
" We intend to work hard for these
games, " Bates continues. "If we do our
homework and work on fundamentals , then
execute our game plan , we should
succeed. ''

Booth wins National Heavyweight Crown

by Len Wassom
Titan wrestler Mark Booth came home
with the National Heavyweight Crown and
a berth in the upcoming Olympics this past
weekend after a difficult match at
Worthington, Minnesota. This was made
possible only after a superb performance
by him and Larry Nugent at the Region 18
Tournament at Oregon City two weeks ago
and as a result of a week long fund raising
drive.
Booth won the Region 18 heavyweight
class and Nugent placed second at 134
pounds. Larry Nugent lost his first match
of the year on a forfeit while battling the flu
at the Region 18 meet.
Naturally coach Bob Creed was looking
forward to sending his men to the
Nationals, but qualifying was only the
preliminary step. Since Lane Community
College does not budget for National
competition, the athletic department had to
engage in a fund raising campaign to pay
travel expenses. Thanks to KVAL, KEZI,

To attend student conference in Washington

â€¢
,n
D.C.
Parry and McLain represent LCC

by Todd Johnstone TORCH staff

During a special session last Thursday, the Student Senate selected TORCH
Editor Mike McLain and Student Senator
Michael Parry to attend the United States
National Student Association (USNSA)
conference in Washington, D.C.
McLain and Parry will travel to
Washington on March 8 to attend the
conference. The cost of sending the two
delegates will be approximately $1300 and
it will be drawn from the Student
Government budget.
The USNSA conference is a lobbying
conference which will attempt to expose
students to important issues concerning
them and attempt to relate the methods of
bringing student concerns to the attention
of Congress.
"I don't intend to lobby. I intend to go
and gather input,'' said McLain as he
asserted that the ethics of journalism
would prevent him from taking a formal
~,tand on the issues being discussed during
the conference. McLain said it would be
unethical for him to be involved in
decisions on which he was reporting.
Following McLain' s selection as a
delegate to the conference, some members
of the Senate eÂ·xpressed doubts as to
McLain's ability to represent LCC if he
would not take a formal stand on issues
'Jeing discussed during the confererlce.
McLain replied that he was qualified to
represent LCC because he was aware of the
attitudes and sentiment present at the
school and because he would share these
sentiments and attitudes with other
delegates as he was gathering information
during the conference.
After reconsidering and then reaffirming

Mike McLain
McLain's selection, the Senate expressed a
desire to send a voting delegate to the
conference and it passed a motion which
allowed Parry to attend and serve as the
second delegate.
Last Friday LCC Student Body President
Len Wassom vetoed the motion which
allowed two delegates to attend the
conference.
Wassom, in a memo to the Student
Senate, expressed his rationale for issuing

/Photo by Linda Alaniz
the veto. He said: ''The amount of money
necessary to expend to send two delegates
to Washington D.C. is not in my opinion in
the best interests of the student body.
Also, I think that the action isn't within the
expectations of the student body."
As a result of W assom' s veto of the
motion, the Student Senate held another
special meeting on Monday. During the
meeting the financial state of the Student
Government's budget was discussed and

the workshop interfered with that time.
"The paradental school is by law
required to give students a specific number
of hours of class time ... and the workshop
interfered with this," Robert says.
He adds that no student input was
considered concerning the cancellation of

classes for the workshop. "The student
body had grounds to establish a legal
injunction against LCC.''
And, according to Robert, there were
other problems with the workshop.
He feels that the in-service time the
faculty has at the beginning of each year
would have been a sufficient time to take
care of the workshop without infringing on
anyone'.s rights. "They never provided a
rationale as to why we needed the
workshop at that particular time,'' . says
Robert. "What the workshop entailed was
an in-service activity."
Not only were students put in an
awkward position, says Robert, some
faculty members' schedules were disrupted by the workshop.
''Those instructors who had a prepared
syllabus had to rearrange and reschedule
everything . . . it affected these people
more," he says.
Says Schultz, "The time was granted for
a specific purpose. I think it's a proper and
justifiable thing for the Board to provide
â€¢
this."
And, according to Robert, the Faculty
Council, one of the co-sponsors of the
worksh,'.)p, unjustifiably co-sponsored the
event. ''Mike Rose (chairman of the
Fa.culty Council) made the decision to
co-sponsor it without asking the Council to
vote on it.'' â€¢
But Rose says that he queried the
Steering Committee of the Council before
he made the decision. ''I took a poll ot the
Steering Committee--and the committee
said 'yes,' "says Rose. "I think Affirmative Action is here and something we as
professionals are obligated to be aware
of," Rose continues. "Ideally it should
have been done during in-service, but
people thought that we couldn't wait until

No grant for

CCC after Â·all

by. Michael Riley TORCH Staff

The Coalition of Concerned Citizens
(CCC) did not receive a $200 grant from the
Associated Students of LCC (ASLCC) as
reported in last week's TORCH.
The Coalition is composed of members
representing several campus organizations
including the ASLCC, the Association of
Veterans and the Women's Union. It was
formed to unite opposition against a tuition
increase at LCC which the LCC Board of
Education passed at its Feb. 11 meeting.
Robert Mac Master, facilitator for the
CCC, explained to the TORCH in an
interview Monday, March 1, that there has
not been any transfer of monies from the
ASLCC to the CCC. He said the ASLCC
had merely voted on an appropriation of
$200 for later allocation to the college
Business Office, and the money is to be
used for obtaining information from LCC's
general ledger.
MacMaster, who is also a member of the
ASLCC, added that the CCC will not
receive any money from the ASLCC and
that there has been no action taken to
transfer that money into- the CCC.
