Understanding LCC's budget CCC 1.111Ies on budgeI bou1.
by Mike McLain
When you begin to weigh the pros and cons <?f the LCC budget in preparation for
the April 20 budget election, you '11 probably begin to knock your head against a few
unfamiliar terms, your average "budgetese."
Whether the overall philosophical policy directions of the school will determine
your vote or whether you decide on a straight pocketbook level, you'll need to know
the terminology.
•
One of these terms that is constantly bandied about is the ''tax rate,'' expressed
in a do11ar figure per $1,000 TCV (True Cash Value). This is the rate a homeowner
will pay for every $1,000 of the current assessed value of his/her home. The
assessed value is determined each year by the County Assesor who uses samples of
home sales prices within the various tax districts to determine the average increase
in value over the previous year. This percentage increase is then applied to a11 the
homes in each district. All the districts from throughout the county are then added
together to give the total value of taxable land in the county. For the 1975-76 fiscal
year, according to Verne Whittaker, budget director for LCC, this amount for LCC
was $3,111,118,604--over three billion do11ars. According to the latest estimates
from the County Assesor's office, this will increase somewhere between 20 to 30
per cent this year.
What this means for the individual homeowner is that if last year his/her home
was assesed at $20,000, this year it will go up to between $25,000-26,000. But
Whittaker stresses that these figures are only estimates, that the "tax roles won't
be firmed up until as late as mid-summer or early fa11."
At this point in the budgetary process you must begin to deal with the terms ''tax
base" and "6 per cent limitation."
A "tax base" is an amount of money that the voters agree to pay each year in
support of an institution. LCC's current tax base approved in November of 1972,
was for $2,614,320.
State law allows this amount to increase by six per cent each year without further
voter approval. LCC's 1976-77 tax base is $3,111,695, which is the voter approved
tax base increased by six per cent each year si'nce 1972.
H the institution needs additional funds--or more than the six per cent growth wm
provide--then a special levy "outside the six per cent limitation" wm be presented
to the voters for approval. For this year the voters approved an increase outside six
per cent of $1,424,791. In the upcoming election voters will be asked to approve a
levy of Sl,981,265 in excess of the six per cent limitation, or an increase of
apttroximately 17 per cent over last year's amount outside the six per cent.

Remember, the amount approved outside the six per cent each year is not added
to the tax base the fo11owing year for purposes of increasing that base by the
allotted six-per cent.
The voters will approve or turn down only the actual dollar amount outside six per
cent (1,981,265), but since this figure doesn't really tell voters what that will mean
to their individual tax, the estimated tax rate comes into play.
To determine the proposed tax rate you take the total assessable true cash value
of the property in the LCC District (the three billion dollar figure), increase it by the
estimated property assessment increase (an average of 25 per cent) to get the
estimated total assessable TCV (in this case $3,888,898,255). Since the tax rate is
figured in terms of a dollar amount per $1,000 TCV (or units of $1,000), the new
figure is divided by 1,000, making the figure $3,888,898. This figure is then divided
into the total $5,815,749 Proposed Levy (the tax base, plus the amount outside the
six per_ cent limitation,(-the portion up for vote-)plus the amount for LCC Bond
Retirement which this year is $720,789). This will result in an estimated tax rate of
$1.50 per $1,000 TCV.
If you owned a home valued at $20,000 last year your share of support for LCC
was $1.61 per $1,000 TCV, or $32.20.

And now, here is what it all comes down to:
Although the new tax rate could drop to Sl.50 per Sl,000 TCV if the levy is
approved April 20, the actual taxes you pay wm rise by $5.55 or 17 .2 per cent for a

total of $37. 75. The reason? Your $20,000 home Is now worth $25,000 and that is

what you're taxed on.
So, keep in mind as you consider whether to vote yes or no that even though the
tax rate has dropped, you will still pay more in support for LCC--about $5.55 if you
own a $20,000 home.

by Michael Riley
Whatever happened to the group of
concerned students here at LCC who were
going to fight the LCC budget increase?
The group, who called themselves the
Coalition of Concerned Citizens (CCC), was
formed originally to unite opposition
against tuition increases here at LCC.
When the LCC Board of Education passed
the increase in February, the Coalition
then vowed to fight the proposed budget
scheduled to go before tlie voters
April 20.
According to Gary Hargett, a member of
the Coalition from the start, the Coalition is
suffering from a lack of participation and
time. After the increase was passed in
February, the interest of many people
began to cool down. He feels the reason is
that there was no longer any immediate
issue to be dealt with as there was while
fighting the proposed increase so people
began to lose their immediate personal
interest.
Originally the CCC was composed of
members representing various campus
organizations including the ASLCC, the
Association of Veterans, the Chicano
student group M.E.Ch.A., and Women's

Union. According to Hargett there was
only a handful of students who attended
the last meeting.
As far as the forthcoming budget
elections are concerned, Hargett and the
remaining members of the Coalition feel
that there are a number of unanswered
questions about the expenditures of the
administration. It is still planned for an
~countant to assist the CCC in looking at
certain items on the budget.
The
accountant, hired by the CCC, will also
help in finding areas on the budget that
have been most abused.
Hargett feels that the students of LCC
are going to feel the effects of any budget
cutback and that the inconveniences felt by
those cutbacks should help to make them
aware of the need for further investigation
of the budget.
The TORCH was also informed bv
Hargett that some of the once activ~
members of the Coalition became "burned
out" over working to fight the proposed
budget. Michael Roche, a member of the
CCC and of ·the LCC Budget Committee,
was one of these people. Roche, according
to Hargett, is vacationing ,in Mexico.

Jimmy Carter, the nuclear scientist
turned peanut f~rmer turned politician, has
been accused of being many other things
as he continues to win big at the polls, but
a recent charge in Madison, Wisconsin--by
a supporter from the U.S. Senate nonetheless--left everyone shaking.
The supporter was Delaware Senator
Joseph Biden, the upper house's youngest
member. Predicting Carter would win not
only the northeastern states but also the
south, Biden told a press conference Carter
can win like no other Democrat.
"You see, he can go both ways," Biden
concluded.
That made everyone chuckle, Carter
flashed his famous grin, and Biden
blushed.
Everyone was relieved, however, when,
pulling his foot out of his mouth, Biden
assured the crowd, "I don't know him that
well."

Nugent says
tuition too high
by Sally Oljar
Twenty rer cent of LCC's budget comes
from students when they pay their tuition,
and that. Charles Nugent says, is too
much. "I see no reason why students
should carry that much of a percentage,"
he says.
Not only are they paying too much, but
tuition. he says, " ... should be lowered."
Nugent is one of four candidates seeking
election to the LCC Board of Education. If
elected he will replace Dr. Albert Brauer
from the Crow-Applegate district.
Nugent taught for eight years in a
California state prison and uses his
experience to stress the importance of
getting young people into school, at no
cost. "Because of my background in
prison." he says, "I have seen the need,
and anything we can do, such as
eliminating the fees . . . to encourage
young people to come to school."
Instead of coming from students, the
money should come from the state. And by
the state he says. "That means income
tax." If the legislature finds it necessary to
raise income taxes, he added, they should
do it. However it's do 1e he says, "That's
their business."
For the moment property taxes are going
to have to carry the load, he said, "Until
the legislature gets on the ball and does
something else.'' The homeowners,
especially the low income property owners,
he added, "(are) being taken care of by
rebates."
The important issue, he says, is how the
board uses the money and not how it gets
it. "I'd say to the legislature, 'get us the
money.' '' He adds that the college or the
hoard aren't taxing property. "We're not a

taxing agency."
At the student senate meeting Tuesday,
Nugent said he feels tuition should be free.
In an interview Wednesday, he qualified
his statement saying, ''Talking to some
students . . . They feel they should carry
part of this burden, so therefore I feel I
should be flexible enough to reflect their
opinion, although I still feel it should be
free." With free tuition he feels the
college would reach more people.·
Nugent also said at Tuesday's meeting
that he'd suffered a heart attack in
January. He added that he was in good
health and his job, if elected, would not be
affected.
Nugent was on campus Wednesday and
spent part of the day talking with Anne
Stewart, program director of the Women's
Awareness Center. This type of program
should be enlarged he said, and that the
Center is a step that needs to go farther.
··I think this is what the college is
reaching," he added, "and I think this
college is one of the innovative colleges ... "
The problem the board has, he says, is to
find the funding. "Get it (funding) from
the legislature ... in order to get as many
programs that are needed, and to explore
the possibility of need."
He says he has no "preconceived ideas"
of which way the college should go and that
"this is why we have a board." He spent
the afternoon in the cafeteria talking with
students and staff about problems or
questions for the board. If elected or not
he sees himself as a kind of middle-man,
•'bringing the questions they ask to the
board,'' he said. He also said he feels he'll
··have more time than other board
members, and can concentrate on responding to student and staff needs ... ''
Student questions are important, he
'iays. and some of them are ones he hadn't
1hought of. For example, ''The students
asked why we don't have study space. I
don't know why," he said, "but I'll
certainly find out. I'll raise the question at
the board meeting.''
Nugent has been coming to the college
for two years and has served on the Siuslaw
Skill Center Advisory Committee for three.
He says. "I've been looking for these
questions. I just hope that the questions I
ask. the answers will be more available.''
Nugent says. "My line is people ... I
worked in prison, I have a feeling for
people, what they want-... I can listen."
When he was asked at the student senate
meeting why he wanted to be one the
board, he said, "It's in my blood. Personal satisfaction of seeing the job well
done. I'm in it for me ... I want the job for
my ego; a feeling of accomplishment by
helping you."
A native of Ohio, Nugent has spent the
last forty years in California. He retired
and moved to Florence six years ago and
has served on various committees in the
area, including the Sheriff's Advisory
Committee and the Social Services Advisory Committee. He has also helped to
organize the Concerned Citizens for
Children and the Siuslaw Youth Development Committee. He has also served as
president of the California State Employed
Teachers Association.

Cooper looks
for innovation,
new ideas
by Scott Stuart
At the age of 58, Edward Cooper,
: superintendent of school district 66, says
it's time to move on.
Although Cooper is quitting his present
job next year, he does not want to loose
contact with public education. That's why
he is running for the zone one seat on the
LCC Board of Education. The board seats,
one from Zone 1, and one from Zone 4, will
be up for election on Ar,ril 20. Cooper feels
that a position on the Community College
board would be a great opportunity to work
with new ideas and innovations.
A veteran of both WWII and the Korean
War, Cooper has teaching certificates in
elementary and secondary education from
the Oregon College of Education, and a
Masters in School Administration from the
University of Oregon. Since getting his
degree he has been involved mostly in local
educational matters. Cooper has been a
long-time member of the Oregon Educational Association, is a member of the
Confederation of School Administrator'i ,
the Lions. the Grange and belongs to Phi
Delta Kappa.
Today, Cooper feels that the community
college should work on three levels. It can
be a place for the student who wants to be a
competent technician in some field. it can
be an intermediate step for the high school
graduate who is not quite sure what he or
she wants to do, or it can be a service for
people over 30 who want to retool
themselves for another job or use the
school as a smorgasboard to fill gaps in
their own education, even if they already
have two or three degrees.
Although Cooper feels that LCC is doing
a good job of anticipating and meeting the
needs of students, he feels that the college
should look into a program for paraprofessional students who could graduate in
an area helping the handicapped. As an
example, he points ou.t that in Germany
there are medical aid stations that act as an
intermediary between patients and doctors
or hospitals. As an example of what LCC
could do, Cooper says that there has been
little work done in the area of deaf or blind
parents with children that can hear or see.
Cooper feels that the college could do
research, and develop skilled people to
work with deaf or blind parents, especially
with children in the first three years.
"The thing to do," says Cooper, "is to
bring education to the student."
Cooper feels that this could be done by
expanding the Outreach Program into
other communities around Eugene. It
would really be a service, Cooper believes,
if people could just find out how to fix their
carburetor., or how to join two rafters
together.
When it comes to funding, Cooper is
both philosophical and practical.

''Theoretically, or philosophically, my
total background leads me to believe
education should be free," says Cooper,
"but practically, it's not possible."
Cooper thinks there should be strict
limits on tuition. Students should not be
scared off by tuition costs, says Cooper,
who feels that the cost of an education
should not go over 25 per cent of student
support. Students at LCC pay 20 per cent
of the cost right now.
"I favor income taxes as a primary
source of revenue for public services,"
says Cooper, "but not necessarily property
taxes." He points out that a certain
amount of the school budget, about 30 per
cent, comes from local property taxes.
"I know as well as anyone else," says
Cooper, "that I have prejudices." But
when Cooper recalls his travels to Germany
and Panama, where whites or Americans
are minorities, he remembers that his
friendships there did not depend on
nattonality or race. Those experiences
helped form his opinions on interdisciplinary studies. Cooper feels that interdisciplinary studies are a necessary step
from the here and now, to the time we
realize that we can't fragment society.
"When we reach the stage when we no
i,)nger have race as a barrier, then I will be
satisfied," says Cooper.
One of Cooper's prejudices is the subject
of salaries.
'' As far as salaries are concerned,'' says
Cooper, "unfortunately for me, it is the
one subject most likely to cause me to
regurgitate.''
Cooper says today salary bargaining has
become an adversary situation in which
two parties negotiate across a table and
that, at times, the arguments on both sides
are ill founded. He says that he has two
reactions: That a system based on
percentage increase is not fair, and that
there is nothing that can be done about it.
"There needs to be a better way," says
Cooper. '' I don't know if I can find a better
way, but it's a subject that I would like to
struggle with a little more.''
"Who are the board's clients?" asks
Cooper rhetorically. He feels that potentially, the board could serve eith~r the
students, the faculty or the community.
"I don't believe it's possible to ignore
student opinion the way we did 20 years
ago," says Cooper.

Brauer steps down

J

after 12 years
by Cris Clarke
''Twelve years is long enough,'' says
Doctor Albert Brauer, Crow-Applegate
representative to and present chairman of
the LCC Board of Education.
Dr . Brauer recently announced his
stepping down from the board. He
attributes his resignation to the need for
new people at LCC, and his own desire to
undertake other things.
''Other new people need the opportunity
to contribute to the college," says Brauer.
"It's been a long haul. I've enjoyed it--1
learned a great deal, but I'd like to take on
a new challenge. ' '
Having been on the board since the
establishment of LCC in 1964, Dr. Brauer
has seen the college undergo what he
terms "very rapid growth."
And this rapid growth has resulted in a
degree of alienation of people and
departments on campus. "Now there is
not the closeness that existed in the first
years of the college,'' Brauer comments.
"It is something that relates to size," he
continues, ''things become more impersonal with growth.
'' Some of the rapport between depart-

ments has decreased rather than improved--due to massive growth,' ' says
Brauer.
. And partly due to massive growth, along
with increasing costs, Dr. Brauer has seen
tuition increase in order for it to pay for its
usual 20 per cent of LCC's operating
budget.
But to meet the requirements Brauer
feels that students should pay more tuition.
"I believe students should contribute to
their education. I see nothing wrong with
that," he says. "The student should be
happy to do it ... when he gets out of the
situation he will appreciate what he has
done himself.''
Brauer adds, "The student is the one
who will be earning a higher income as a
result of the education, so I support that
very strongly.''
Dr. Brauer sees levying property taxes
on citizens as a bad way to fund education.
The upcoming levy election will ask
property owners in Lane County to increase
the overall tax they pay to LCC. Although
the tax rate will drop from $1.61 to $1.50,
the increase in the assessed value of
property will require taxpayers to pay
more. The 11 cent rate decrease is not

Reid, Long vie for Zone 4 seat

Long stresses
accessibility
by Kathleen Monje
A latecomer to the race for an LCC Board
of Education position, Frank M. Long
expressed strong concern with Board
accessibility to students, faculty, staff of
the college and members of the community.
In an interview Tuesday , April 5, with
the TORCH, Long took a stand on the
issues of funding , student input to the
Board, administrative wage increases, and
growt h directions for LCC. Long , a
resident and high -school journalism
teacher in Cottage Grove, added that he
has not been in the race long enough to
have a working familiarity with -the
proposed LCC budget. He is competing
with incumbent Stephen Reid for the Zone
4 seat.
Long took a stand on the issues of

funding , student input to the Board,
administrative wage increases, and growth
directions for LCC, adding that he had not
been in the race long enough to have a
working familiarity with the proposed
budget for the college.
•Stating that he would "consider several
times" a raise in student tuition, Long
said, "My own experience as a working
student would affect that. Getting through
school was very important to me, and very
difficult. I would first look for alternatives
to a tuition raise." He also feels that the
state will have to find some other source of
income than property taxes--perhaps a
sales tax, or high income tax. "It's not fair
to prooertv owners to expect them to pay
wholly for the most expensive thing
government does--education. ''
•Students should definitely be heard,''
said Long when asked about student input
to the Board. "All sorts of groups-taxpayers, faculty members, administration, students--everybody should be able to
feel they were listened to.'' He stated that
the administration should run the day-today operation, and the Board should let the
administration know how they want that
done. "The administration should be able
to accept Board disagreement and not feel
threatened."
• Long said that administrative salaries
have gone up disproportionately in other
budgets, but he hasn't had time yet to
examine LCC's. "If I were on the Board, I
would certainly look carefully at administrative wage increases. And if there is an
addition in staff, it should go in the
classroom, not into administration.''
•On future growth, Long asked, "How
do you know how many jobs are available
to the people you're training in specific
programs? Perhaps the college transfer
student is better based. We have to look at
the demands for people in various
occupations--this may mean more general
studies.' ' He feels that there is room in
any program for ethnic and women's
studies . "They shouldn ' t be weak or
inconsequential. I hate to see programs
like that cut back. '' He added that not just
minority studies , but other sources of
knowledge such as older people's views,
should be explored.
'' School boards generally have lost touch
with students and teachers , " Long said.
He would like to see that changed. He has
received the endorsement of the executive
committee of LCC's faculty organization,
the Lane Community College Education
Association.

Reid seeks
re-election
By Cris Clarke
Incumbent LCC Board of Education
Member Stephen Reid is seeking reelection to his Zone 4 Pleasant Hill,
Cottage Grove, Dexter and Lowell seat.
The upcoming May 25 election will mark
. the end of Reid's first four-year term as a
board member. Reid was appointed to the
-board in 1971, and elected for his first full
term in 1972.
One of the reasons Reid is pursuing
re-election is that he feels it takes a period
of years to become adjusted to the
complexity of an institution such as LCC.
"I feel that is takes two years to find out
what is really going on," says Reid.
In his five years on the board Reid has
seen a few changes, and students are what
he feels have changed the most.
"Students are less involved in campus
politics," says Reid , " and education is
becoming more important."
But this involvement with education may
be the reason Reid is feeling alienated from
students at LCC. ''I feel isolated from the
majority of the student body ... I feel there
are a lot of students out there we aren't
hearing from.''
·But one of the campus issues that
students are sounding off about today is
the recent decision to increase tuition at
LCC next year. Reid thinks that students
are obligated to pay a certain amount
toward the operati<~n of the community
college.
"I am in favor of raising tuition.
Education is the students ' responsibility to
a degree," he says.
Another factor, according to Reid is that
taxpayers are becoming less and less
wiiling to pay higher property taxes for
education. " As hard as it is to pass
budgets in this county, we have to hike
tuition to counteract voter resistance
budget. 80 per cent of our budget is salary
related items which we have no control
over ," Reid says , "We can't stoo
inflation-we have to live with inflation. ' '
Reid feels that the only answer -to
maintaining tuition at the present level of
$100 per term would be to lower
enrollment. "Taxpayers are rebelling
against taxes. If we don't raise tuition,

then we have to lower FTE' ' (full time
enrollment).
Reid likes Oregon's system for controlling the funding of educational instititutions. "In California, " he continues ,
"the legislature controls education. Here
in Oregon we go to the voters--we have
local control. It's a good system. • I like the
give and take of it."
And as LCC grows on, Reid thinks the
present balance between Vocational Training and College Transfer courses will be
maintained. "This is a comprehensive
college , " Reid says , " and it won't
concentrate on one or the other. I don 't
look for that to change any. I look for LCC
to go more and more into ou t re ach-outlying mini-campuses for local education
I'm hoping that is the way it goes. ''
But Stephen Reid is not on a personal
campaign for the Zone 4 seat. ' 'I'm not
campaigning. If people like what I did ,
they can vote for me. If no( they can vote
against me.''
But what keeps this local businessman in
t he decision-making areana of Lane
Community College when the time he
spends is volunteered?
_
Pr; :·1arily, " I'm excited about LCC and
what it is doing in the community, " says
Reid. ''But I feel I have a social obligation
to do volunteer things. ,This is the one I've
chosen to do"

NSA fails to hear valua ble mess age

Analysis

by Mike McLain
From the very first formal activity at the National Student Association's "Lobbying
'76" conference from March 10-14 in Washington D.C. straight through to the Plenary
session it became apparent that the leadership of the NSA was and
remains deaf to the very valuable message that their own conference imparted.
That message, coming from keynote speaker Hubert Humphrey (sounding strangely
like a Presidential candidate) right down to a Justice Department researcher, was this:
ernrnental
•
Lobb in is the process of instillin the ro er amount of
epresenta 1ve o overt him/her to your point o view. And the most f~ar inspiring
ought for congressmen (orcongresspeople, a term not yet enjoying wide use in Wash:)
when they wake each morning, is that following the next election they may find
themselves extracted from the energy, power and excitement that is Washington D.C. to
go plop, back to the mundane existance of their home town, be it Podunk, Kansas or even
Eugene, Oregon.
To keep this fear at bay, a Congressman must turn his ear to two groups of people: The
educated voters back home who know and care about issues enough to follow the
congressmen's action in preparation for the next election, and groups (usually the
industries) with enough money to help the candidate finance the purchase of a large
billboard along the local interstate to cater to those constituants who vote for a name and
flashy smile.
Our own Congressman Jim Weaver stressed this point in a separate interview
preceding the NSA conference.
But the NSA falls into neither of these categories.
The NSA meets as a whole twice a year, once at their August Congress and now at the
Washington D.C. midyear Lobbying Conference. At these meetings student body
members from across the nation who have questionable representative power--the
national turnout for student body elections hovers· somewhere around five per cent
according to College Press Service--gather to elect a new NSA President and
Vice-President and to give input to the Association. Other than at these meetings the

South Dakota,
Minnesot a
,decriminalize pot
According to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws
(NORML) South Dakota and Minnesota are
the latest states to scrap criminal penalties
for marijuana. With the recent signing of
new laws by their Governors, the two
states join Oregon, Alaska, Maine, California, Color:\do and Ohio, making a total
of eight states thus far to adopt marijuana
decriminalization. In both states, jail
sentences are replaced by non-criminal
fines and violators are issued traffic
ticket-like citations instead ~f being
arrested.
Work on the South Dakota law began last
summer with the Special Committee on
Criminal Code Revision. The Committee,
made up of four legislators and five
rP<'nm _m ended classifying the
~:+: .. ~n
~ossess1on of ~p to an ounce of marijuana
as a "petty offense" with a maximum $20
civil fine. The bill incorporating this
recommendation was introduced by Sen.
Homer Kondaras (D-Rapid City), majority
leader of the State senate, and was
ultimately agreed upon by the full
legislature. Final approval of the measure
came February 29 with Democratic Governor Richard F. Kneip ' s signature. The
new law does not become effective until
April 1, 1977.
Minnesota' s law narrowly missed enactment last year as time ran out on the 1975
legislature. Having passed the House, the
measure needed only a favorable vote by
the State Senate which came on March 4.
Governor Wendell R. Anderson, a Democrat, signed the bill on March 11.
Sponsored by Sen. Robert J. Tennesen
(DFL-Minneapolis) and Rep. Franklin
Knoll (DFL-Minneapolis), the bill calls for
·nrst time offenders to be fined not more
than $100 for possessing less than an ounce
and a half of marijuana. A second
conviction in a two year period, however,
calls for a possible ninety day jail term and
a $300 fine. The effective date for the
Minnesota law is April 10, 1976.
Several states are presently considering
marijuana decriminalization bills, including Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York,
.
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The District of Columbia delayed its
marijuana bill after voting preliminary
approval to reduce penalties last fall. The
D.C. • City Council bowed to outside
pressure and· tabled the bill that would
have established a maximum $100 civil fine
for possession and not-for-profit transfer oi
an ounce or less of marijuana. The
measure is now effectively dead until the
Council votes to bring it back for
consideration, an unlikely event this year
without an outpouring of voter support.

group consists only of fifteen staff members (and it might be pointed out that these need
not be and presently are not students and are subject to no vote) and the two elected
officers, all residing in Washington.
Though these people work hard and know the issues, when they got to a congressional
committee to "Lobby" saying they represent the nation's 11 mi11ion students, the
congressmen keep two things in mind:
1. Those 11 million students (age 18-25) had a voter turnout below 20 per cent in the
1972 election, well under the national average,
2. The NSA representatives standing before them are neither constituants who will
help keep those congressmen out of Podunk nor do they represent big money.
The NSA does perform a valuable function. From its headquarters in Washington it
can disseminate up to the minute information on legislation affecting students.
But according to everyone's definition of lobbying, the NSA cannot be an effective
lobbying group.
What it could do is to disseminate information on how to organize intensive letter
writing campaigns from the local stud·e nts to their congressmen on issues concerning
them.
But to ask students to rely on the NSA as a lobbying power is denying the reality of
lobbying.
The only way students can affect legislation in Washington D.C. is by becoming
informed and becoming concerned enough about issues to organize and scare the hell out
of Congressmen by the sheer number of handwritten letters expressing anger at
legislation that may adversely affect them. In other words, we, the students, have to
care.
The NSA can't do it for us.
The NSA conference on lobbying was very valuable. But the message was that if we
take democratic responsibility into ou·r own hands we don't need the NSA.

Mariiuana Studies show confliding results
The physical and psychological effects of
marijuana smoking are still the subjects of
many scientific studies, and the results of
these studies are often vague and
conflicting. While one study shows that
pot actually causes the brain to shrink,
another shows that people who have
smoked the equivalent of ten joints a day
for seventeen years have suffered no
mental impairment. While one studv
concludes that marijuana is more carcinogenic than tobacco, another concludes that
marijuana is useful in fighting cancer by
reducing nausea in cancer patients undergoing chemical therapy.
Currently, the majority of evidence leans
in the direction that marijuana causes no
permanent or irreversible physical or
mental damage, if it causes any at all.
Even as outspoken a pot critic as Dr.
Robert DuPont, Director of the National
Institute on Drug Abuse, has recently
reversed his stand and stated that ''there is
no question that alcohol and tobacco are
causing us far more health problems than
marijuana does."
As late as last October, DuPont had
stated that, although he was against
jailing marijuana offenpers , he felt that th~
drug posed a greater health threat than
tobacco and liquor combined. He also
concluded that many people using marijuana regularly today would show evidence·
of permanent brain damage in the future.
There is no evidence, DuPont added in
his recent change of stand, that marijuana
impaired the academic performance of
college students. However , said DuPont,
one recent study showed that college
tokers "had greater difficulties than
non-users in deciding career goals and
were more likely to have dropped out of
college to reassess their goals."
At a recent conference in New York on
chronic marijuana use, further evidence
was given that marijuana does no reai
physical harm and does not damage the
functions of the brain.
The conference, sponsored by New York
Medical College, the New York Academy
of Science and DuPont's National Institute
on Drug Abuse, examined thirty studies of
chronic pot users in Jamaica, Costa Rica
and Greece. · In Jamaica, the marijuana
used may be as much as ten times more
powerful than that available in the United
States. Many users have smoked as much
as twenty-five joints of this high-grade
dope and hash everyday for the last
seventeen years. Still, there was no brain
damage found, and the ability to concentrate on work was no less than that on
non-smokers.
The reports on dope, however, are not all
favorable to the nation's twelve million
regular users. A recent study at the
University of Indiana indicates that the
substances present in marijuana are more
carcinogenic than tobacco smoke. In
addition, researchers at Washington Uni-

versity in St. Louis have found that for younger children as well. In a survey of

rapidly becoming the "recreational drug"

2 million busts in 10 years
Marijuana arrests in 1974 rose to
445,600--a rate of more than 1200 each day.
The total costs of the arrests--through a
final disposition of the case--runs the
taxpayer a staggering $600 million each
year.
According to the FBI Uniform Crime
Reports for 1974, seven of every ten drug
arrests were marijuana violations. In 1065,
when arrests totaled less than 19,000, only
four of every ten drug arrests were
for marijuana. By 1970, arrests had risen
ten-fold to nearly 190,000. Still, less than

half the drug arrests were marijauna
related.
Law enforcement's present emphasis on
marijuana has not gone unnoticed. A
special Task Force of the White House
Domestic Council has urged President
Ford to shift U.S. drug abuse priorities
away from marijuana and toward hard
drugs.
Since 1965, a total of 1,900,000 Americans--the great majority young people-have been arrested by state and federal
authorities for marijuana violations.

Ag Tech hosts
FFA skill s conte st
By Paul Hollrook
Some of you may have wondered where
all those blue jacketed teenagers came
from last Thursday--the ones with large
yellow patches and the words OREGON
and CRESWELL emblazoned across their
backs.
Well, contrary to many students' first
impressions. they were not members of
some juvenile bike gang but were instead
members of the Future Farmers of
America . They were here to compete in
the Upper Willamette District competition
for mechanical skills sponsored by the
Future Farmers of America.
The 70 contestants, represented FFA
chapters at four upper Willamette Valley
high schools: South Albany, West Albany,
Creswell and Central Linn in Halsey.
They competed in eight different categories designed to test their skills and
knowledge in such areas as power tool use,
Arc and Oxygen-Acetyline welding, smal1
engine assembly, tractor tune-up, and
'iurveying. Also tested were the contestants' abilities in rafter cutting, tool
fitting, and electrical wiring in which the
contestants had to solve a wiring problem
typical of those encountered in wiring a
new house.
Competition took place in the Agricultural Mechanics shop. the wood and
welding shops, and on the mud flats
between the Apprenticeship Building and
south parking lot. There, two member
teams of surveyors worked to solve what is
termed in surveyor's lingo a differential
levelin~ problem, which mainlv consists of
determining differences in elevation. They
had one hour to work the problem, then

were graded on accuracy, technique, and
neatness. Contestants also had to take a
written test in which familiarity with
surveyor's tools and general surveying
knowledge were prime requirements.
• LCC Agricultural Mechanics students
served as judges for·the events and much
of the organizing of the competition was
done by an LCC management class for
second year agriculture students.
West Albany won the team title while
Pat Beaudin of Central Linn and Mark
Green of West Albany tied for individual
high point honors. But, since Willamette
Parts and Machine Company had donated
a socket wrench tool set to be awarded the
individual winner, a coin flip was used to
decide who got the wrenches. Beaudin
called tails and lost and West Albany Team
Captain Mark Green had himself a new set
of socket wrenches.
Still. ribbons went to the individual
winners while a banner we11t home to the
team scoring the most pr,'·,i"ts. (However,
at the closing of last Thursday's competition neither the ribbons nor the banner had
arrived in the mail. Harvey Kelm, LCC •
agricultural machine instructor and one of
the contest organizers, said that upon
arrival both the ribbons and the banners
would be forwarded to the winners.)
This is the fifth straight year that LCC's
Agriculture and Agricultural Mechanics
Departments has hosted the event which is
a district shop skills contest in preparation
for the state competition in Corvallis April
Final winners from the . state
I 0.
competition will compete in the national
competition in Kansas City next fall.

talks to LCC women
Kathleen Monje
"This year, for the first time, being a
woman is neither a plus or a minus in
~unning for office," said Jewel Lansing,
Democratic candidat~ for Oregon State
Treasurer, in a speech at LCC's Women's
Awareness Center.
Accompanied by Charlene Curry, her ·
Lane County campaign co-ordinator, Lansing addressed students and staff last
Wednesday, April 31, at noon. She talked
about her background and her career,
touching only briefly on the political race.
"When I tried to stay home for three or
four months at a time, I Cl)U)dn't stand it,"
Lansing said, addin8 that her mother

provided her with a busy, responsible role
model. She majored in journalism in
::ollege, went to Europe as a social director
for the military, earned a Master's degree
at Stanford in education, and eventually
became a Certified Public Accountant with
her own business. At present she is
Multnomah County Auditor, is married,
and has three teen-age children.
Asked about her opponent, Multnomah
County Commissioner Mel Gordon, Lansing said, "I'm going to beat him." She
stated that Gordon does not have the
financial knowledge or background to
perform well as State Treasurer.

Friends of Library meet
Friends of the Eugene Public Library will
meet Wednesday, April 21 from 7 to
8 p.m. in the Lecture Room of the Eugene
Public Library, 100 W. 13th. The agenda
will include a report on the Lane County
Library Service. The meeting is open and
anyone interested in attending is urged to
come.
From 8 to 9 p.m., following Friends
meeting, a program on Ancient Peru will
be presented by Janelle Moothead.

Pilot for series on
Oregon ecology

begins Apr. 7 at UO
The first in a series of spring programs
under the general title of "Livability for
Oregon's Future'' will take place Wednesday, April 7, on the University of Oregon
campus. The theme for the week's
programs is ''The Business of Ecology.''
The featured guest on Wednesday will
be Richard Barnet of the Institute for Policy
Studies in Washington, D.C. He will be
participating in a panel Wednesday
afternoon at 3:30 in the EMU Forum room
on ''Oregon as a Banana Republic.'' Other
participants will be Dan Goldrich, U of 0
political science professor, Tom Bates,
editor of H,e Oregon Times Magazine, and
John Markhoff of the Pacific Northwest

Research Center.
Wednesday evening Barnet will deliver a
lecture on "Global Corporations and the
Environment" at 8:00 p.m. in 167 EMU.
The other event for the week will be a panel
on "Land Use By Whom and for What?"
Participants will be A.V. Krebs of the
Agribusiness Accountability Project in San
Francisco, and Markhoff and Paul Fitzgerald of the Pacific Northwest Research
Center. The panel will take place at 12:30
on Friday, April 9, in 167 EMU.
Barnet is known for his many books on
American and international politics, most
recently Global R~ach: The Power of the
Multinational Corporations (co-authored
with Ronald Muller). Before founding the
Instutute for Policy Studies in 1963, Barnet
worked in the State Department and the
Arms Control and Disarmament Agency
during the administration of John F.
Kennedy. He has also taught at the
National University of Mexico and at Yale
University.
All of the programs for the week will
focus on the implications of the organizational structure of the American corporate
state for the quality of life in Oregon. All of
the programs are open to the public, free of
charge, and will include question and
answer periods. The programs are
sponsored by the EMU Cultural Forum.

LCC 's·Welding Technology Program

story and photos by Jeff Hayden
First year welding major Roy Stokes
waited an entire year before being
accepted into Lane's Welding Technology
Program. His story isn't unusual. The
waiting lines are long and the wait is well
worth it. According to one first year
student, "We get our state certification at
Lane and fabricator welders make 10-12
dollars an hour. When I graduate from
Lane, I'll have a trade and a means of
earning a living. I can support my family.
There won't be any more waiting in welfare
lines, no more food stamps. Besides, it's
working for a living that gives a man
dignity.''
Lane's Welding Technology Program
provides training and technical knowledge
for entry and advancement in the welding
profession. Coupled with experience, the
program could prepare a student for
potential employment opportunities in
industry, private enterprise, supervision
and/ or advanced welding. These opportunities include: welding, fabrication,
inspection, fitting in heavy machinery or
structural steel, light industrial fabrication,
welding and/ or fabrication estimating,
technical sales.
According to the program syllabus, the
first year is devoted to developing ~kills in
the use of: manual arc, MIG and TIG
processes; manual and semi-automatic
cutting; oxy-acetylene welding and brazing; laying and fitting of standard
structural shapes and pipe; blueprint
reading and drafting. Upon completion of
the first year , a student should have

developed skills sufficient for employment
as an entry-level welder in Lane County.
structural shapes and pipe; blueprint
reading and drafting. Upon completion of
the first year , a student should have
developed skills sufficient for employment
as an entry-level welder in Lane County.
The second year offers further training in
welding procedures and processes while
providing technical-level information on
the testing of welds and welders and
making in-depth studies of metals and
their associated welding problems. Upon
completion of the second year, a student
should have sufficient knowledge and skills
to ·become an advanced welder capable of
doing supervisory work and to be certified
by the state in any of four areas: (1) Pipe
and pressure vessel welding, mild steel;
(2) Pipe and pressure vessel welding,
low-hydrogen aualit~,; (3) gas metal arc
(GMA), wire drive; (4) gas tungsten arc
(GTA), heliarc."
Qualified welders may earn from $3 per
hour to $8 (or more) per hour, depending ·
on training, experience and locale. The
higher wages generally demand a high
mobility.
Lane has graduates working all over the
country. However, accord mg to instructor
Chet Aubrey, most students end up
working in the immediate area ... Aubrey
doesn't know any LCC welding graduates
who are out of work and he's been at Lane
since 1967. Working with Aubrey are John
Shuster, Tom Arthur, Bob Wright, Jerry
Davenport, and John Mullin.

''I'll have a trade and a means of earning a
living. There won't be any more waiting in
welfare lines, no more food stamps. Besides,
it's working for a living that gives a man
dignity.''
''Most of the students have a job before
they leave Lane. It's no wonder the waiting
lines are long. ''

SST- Big Bird may
eat earth's ozone
(CPS)--As the first generation of supersonic transports were granted permission
to land in Washington and New York this
spring. Secretary of Transportation
William Coleman promised that during the
16-month trial period, studies would be
made to test the environmental impact of
the flights., For nearly two yeai:s ~riti<;s ot
the SST's have lambasted the super jets for
the possible damage they may do to the
earth's ozone layer.
Even though 16 months of stratospheric
testing are likely to show no substantial
change in the ozone layer, that probably
won't be because the SST deserves a clean
bill of health. The reason, according to
scientists and researchers exploring
damage to the ozone layer, is simple
enough. Experts generally agree that
about ten years--rather than 16 months--of
studies would be necessary to show any
significant change in the depth of the ozone
layer. And even then there would be no
way to prove what part of the damage was
done by exhausts from SST's.
Scientific interest in the ozone layer was
shaken about two years ago when it was
hypothesized that spray can propellants, as
well as the exhaust from SST's, might
break down the layer of ozone that
envelops the earth at altitudes of 8 to 30
miles. That theory has been partially
confirmed since.
With less ozone protecting the globe
from the sun's ultraviolet rays, an increase
in skin cancer could be expected. Other
consequences could range from a possible
increased vulnerability to viruses, disrupted gland functions and eye problems.

Dr. Dulbecco debunks
gover~ment curb
on cigarette use
A Nobel laureate in cancer research
said recently he is "shocked" by the lack of
government action to curb cigarette
smoking.
Dr. Renato Dulbecco, a 1975 Nobel Prize
winner, told a senate hearing that he
questioned the government's credibility as
a promoter of health and fitness, because
of its lack of action in reducing cigarette
smoking. Dulbecco said that lung cancer is
a prime example of a preventable cancer,
caused by a clearly identified and unessential agent--cigarette smoke.
Senators Edward Kennedy (D-Mass)and
Gary Hart (D-Colo) have proposed a
four-year, $9.3 billion tax on cigarettes to
pay for increased research on cancer and
heart and lung cttseases.
However, Kentucky legislators havE
complained that such measures woulc
destrny the_tobacc~ industry.

Studies conducted by the National
Academy of Sciences have projected that a
fleet of 16 SST's would probably leave
behind enough hydrocarbons and nitrogen
oxide in the stratosphere to break down a
significant amount of the ozone layer,
resulting in 960 new cases of skin cancer
,;.c
each year.
Coleman acknowleged the possible
danger to the ozone layer in approving the
flights, and suggested that studies be
conducted during the 16-month trial by
both the Federal Aviation Administration
and a joint study group of France and
Britain--the two countries allowed to land
the new jets in the United States.
The results of those studies were derided
before being conducted by researchers in
the filed. Bruce Gregory, executive
secretary of an Academy of Sciences group
studying the consequences of damage to
~ .
the ozone layer, said, "everyone on both
sides of this issue is in agreement that in
order to know if any unnatural change has
taken place in the ozone layer, you'd have
to conduct 10 years of monitoring.''
At the National Center for Atmospheric
Studies in Colorado, Dr. Paul Crutzen also
belittled the suggested atmospheric monitoring, calling it "almost impossible" to
collect meaningful data on changes that worries that if the current trial proves the
might amount to less than one per cent jets to be economically successful, the fleet
might be expanded and approved for
reduction. Crutzen warns though, that
even a one per cent change could possible landing in more cities.
Crutzen questions the trade-off between
result in 10,000 cases of skin cancer in the
saving a few hours in travel time and
U.S. alone.
Crutzen agreed that the six flights daily possible environmental damage. ''I don't
approved by Coleman would probably have know if it's worth it to travel to Europe in a
little impact on the ozone layer. But he few hours less at the risk of destroying the

ozone layer," he said.
Those same questions have prompted a
suit by the Environmental Defense Fund to
stop the flights and a proposal in the
Senate that. would ban the supersonic jet
from the country. The suit is making its
way through the U.S. Court of Appeals,
while the Senate proposal was killed in
committee.

P~rcy .~HI geared to ~ut cost
(CPS)--College financial aid officers have
said it, prestigious educational organizations have said it, and parents have been
screaming it: When it comes to college
financial aid, the middle-income family
gets screwed.
If a bill mtroduced by Senator Charles
Percy (R-Ill) is enacted, college students
from middle-income families would be
entitled to substantial tax deferments in
order to defray the costs of a college
education. The bill is geared specifically
for the middle-income family, making
between $11,000 and $16,000 per year.
Most federal student aid plans, said
Percy when he proposed ·the bill, are
geared for students from lower-income
families , those making up to about $9,000.
''This concentration on lower income
groups," said Percy, "has resulted in little
or no financial assistance available for the
student from a middle-income family
whose needs are j_!lJ!_a~_great."

Percy's bill bases the distribution of the
tax deferments upon the tax liability of the
family: that is, how much tax they are
likely to pay. A student from a family
making $14,000 a year would be entitled to
a tax defer~ent of more than $1,400. The
deferment would be paid back to the
government over a period of three years at
seven per cent interest.
According to Percy's statistics, a family
could spend between $10,000 and $25,000
to send one child to college for four years.
The College Entrance Examination Board
estimates that the parents of one-third of
next year's college students will not be
able to pay more than $615 a year toward
college costs.
Educational institutions, said ·Percy,
often use up all the funds available from
federal . programs before they reach
applications of students from middleincome families.
Under Percy's plan, a family bringing in
$14,000 a year is entitled to more than
three times the deferment available to a
family making approximately half that
amount. A middle-income student who

wanted to attend a high-cost private school
is entitled to a greater tax deferment than a
low-income student who might not even be
able to afford a local or state school.
"Granted,·• said Nancy O'Brien, a Percy
aide, ''the lower income families are
hardest hit by high costs. But middleincome families are not able to apply for
financial aid."
Families with low incomes, said O'Brien,
also have less expenses, while middleincome families have the expenses of a
house, a second car, etc.
O'Brien added that, while a private
school may cost much more than a state
school, a middle-income family should not
be penalized financially for wishing to send
their child to such a school, since that
would be "putting a limit on a person's
perogative."
A bill similar to Percy's has been
introduced in the House of Representatives
by Abner Mikva (D-Ill), but the fate of both
bills is up in the air. "This is a new
concept," said O'Brien. "It will take
1while for something like this to catch on.

HAC accom.plishing objectives
"It's been exciting for me to see that
organizational chart really come to life,"
said Marje Wynia, chairperson of the
Human Awareness Council while referring
to the genesis of the Council, established
by LCC President Eldon Schafer last June.
One accomplishment was the Affirmative Action Workshop held this month for
LCC employees. Wynia thinks some of the
Council's goals might be met with such
action.
The objectives of the Council, as set
forth in their bylaws are: To provide a
recognized focal point at LCC for coordinating those programs and activities which
serve to increase equity among women and
men; To initiate and sponsor programs and
activities dealing with our awareness; To
,develop and train diverse and representa-

tive members of the LCC community who
will implement these objectives.
The Council is composed of representatives of major organizational units of the
campus, plus three at-large members.
Snb-committees have been formed to
accomplish the goals of tbe Council. Those
goals are to initiate, coordinate and sustain
programs and activities emphasizing the
changing roles of women and men in our
society.
While writing bylaws, electing officers.
establishing commissions and developing
the structure of the Council have taken up
much of last summer and the fall quarter,
the Council is now beginning to take an
active role on campus. The commissions
are becoming individually active.

Priority: The right to breathe
•

by Amy Parker

This article has involved more mental gymnastics than any other I have ever written.
1 challenge anyon~ to c~me up with somethi~g-ne~ and creative on the subject of "Health
Hazards of Smoking Cigarettes." You cant do it, can you?
Almost all of those who choose to smoke could probably recite many of the statistics
produced by the American Cancer Society. They have had their backpacks stuffed with
anti-smoking literature and may even have several lifelike pictures of a dead black lung.
Those who choose not to smoke could also recite American Cancer Society statistics.
They fan the smoke with their hands and many are beginning to declare that the right to
breathe is more important than the right to smoke.
And there you have it - on the one side are those woh claim smoking is just plain stupid,
and on the other side are those who choose to smoke and are tired of being told and retold
of the potential dangers by those who do not.
None of the people I talked with had been argued or nagged out of smoking. Those who
have quit did so because they wanted to stop·. It is to those who would like to quit that this
article is really addressed.
You should be aware of a 5-day Stop Smoking Clink that will be held at Lane
Community College April 12-16. The clinic is designed to emphasize your own choice to
quit smoking and teaches the application of will power to stop. The clinic will be held in
Forum 302 from 12 to 1:30 on the above mentioned dates. If you feel that the clinic might
help you please sign up in Health Building 217.

The program's aim is to bring together a
community volunteer and a child in such a
way that the experience they share is both
positive and satisfying for both. Compatibility is the key. Similar interests, close
neighborhoods and age are considered.
Volunteers share in this process; working
closely with a coordinator and later with
the child's counselor and teacher.

A NEED FOR SOMEONE
Do you ever feel lonely? Not at ease or
alienated from life?
Do you remember longing for someone
to talk to and confide in; especially when
you were younger?
Yes, we all know these feelings. We also
know, in our own individual way, how to
work through these problems.
Right now, today, in our own community, people of junior high age and
younger are experiencing a very frustrating and confusing time in their lives.
These are children with problems. Children whose parents are divorced. Children
who are excessively shy or depressed.
They've lost the sparks of joy, and for some
reason, others close to them can't give it.
Each child's problems differ; both in
number and intensity. A group of people
are doing something about it. I want to
introduce you to their idea.
This is not a sales pitch. Nor do I want to
instill a sense of guilt in you for not
reacting.
I want to reach a certain kind of person.
Someone at a point in their life, now, where
they want to, and are able to give of
themselves to another human being.
I'm directing this message to a person who
desires to know someone in an intimate
one-to-one relationship "based on mutual
respect and understanding.''

First Chambe r Dance Compan y of New York
New steps in ballet
The First Chamber Dance Company of New York, under the direction of
Charles Bennet, will perform in the South Eugene Auditorium April 11. at
8 p.m., and will also be offering various master classes at LCC-and U of 0.
Lane dance students can attend a free class in the LCC Auxillary Gym
on April 12 at 10 a.m., and are urged by their instructors to do so. Other
clas·ses will be held at U of O's Gerlinger Annex, room 353, on April 11 at
noon, and April 12 at 4:30 p.m.
Bennet, artistic director and founder of the Company, is an award
winning choreographer of modern ballet. His work has received acclaim
both internationa11y as well as nationally.
The Company itself is comprised of former soloists and principles of
such organizations as the American Ballet Theatre, the New York City
Ballet, and the Royal Danish Ballet. They have left the larger companies
in order to develop and explore techniques other than involved props and
mechanical tricks of the traditional stage. Their search is for individual
and intimate styles of "chamber" dance.

ArounJ Town
Arts Festival
"Festival on the Mall," an invitational
celebration of the arts, is scheduled for this
Friday, April 9, through Monday, April 12
in Eugene's Downtown Mall.
The festival was first held in 1953 as the
"Festival of Contemporary Arts, and was
modeled after events that had been
introduced at some Mideastern and
Eastern universities. Since then the
festival has continued to bring together
artists and performers from all over the
nation into the Eugene area. This year the
emphasis is on Oregon talent in the arts,
music, and crafts.
The festival is
sponsored by the University of Oregon (U
of 0) Festival of Arts committee and the
Eugene Downtown Association.
For the first time in the festival's history,
it will be held on the Downtown Man -- and
will celebrate the U of O's Centennial and
the United States Bicentennial. According
to Mary Hudzikiewicz, director of Community Services for the U of 0, more than
40 different groups scheduled to participate in the festival.
An important part of the festival will be a
showing of five films at Cinema 7 in the
Atrium Building. The films will be shown
from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, April 9, 10, and 11.
The featured film is ''Black and White and
Read All Over," a documentary using old
photos, animation, and color footage
explaining the history and development of
the Eugene Register-Guard. The films can

all be seen in one sitting and people are

Other scheduled events include medieval art performances, with a•d~monstration
on jousting, sponsored by the Society for
Creative Anachronism. The Society. a
nationwide organization founded 10 years
ago in Berkeley California, is dedicated to
recreating many aspects of the middle ages
with empha.sis on the European middle
ages.
Also scheduled are jugglers, singing
groups, poetry readings and demonstra-·
tions from various dance and theatre
groups. Admission to all the festival
events including the films is free.

ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN

Three Oregon citizen action groups will
stage a premier benefit of Warner
Brother's "All the Prl sident' s Men" on
April 8 at the Westgate theater.
This film version of the Watergate probe
by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, stars Robert
Redford and Dustin Hoffman.
Oregon's premier is a benefit for the
Oregon Student Public Interest Research
Group (OSPIRG), the Oregon Environmental Council and the Oregon Consumer
League. It also will benefit the national
activities of Citizen Action Fund (CAF) a
newly formed coalition of public interest
groups.
It's the first time state citizen action
groups have worked together in a

fund-raising effort.
CAF will work various groups that are
not chapters of revenue-raising national
organizations and will be directed by actor
Robert Redford. Frances (Sissy) Farenthold. a former Texas legislator recently
appointed president of Wells College in
New York; and John Seigenthaler, publisher of the "Nashville Tennessean."
Citing ''the importance of citizen
monitoring to make the government
accountable,'' Redford noted that past
abuses have given new credibility to the
work of public interest groups.
·'I am hopeful that CAF will help insure
the life and effectiveness of public interst
groups all over the country -- It's our only
salvation." he added.

The fund was organized by Consumer
Act.i nn 1~w· Publ°ic Citizen, Consumer
Ac~1~?..... ~11 or America, Environmental
Action. and the Environmental Policy
Center.
The three Oregon groups all lobby for
citizen interests, thereby not qualifying for
tax-exempt status under Internal Revenue
regulations which forbid groups "influencing legislation" from collecting taxdeductible contributions.
Their tax status contrasts with that of
private business, whch is allowed to write
off lobbying activities as ''ordinary and
necessary business expenses."
Because most public interest groups
have no automatic fund-raising base, CAF
will work to initiate revenue-producing
projects through arrangements with entertainers in various fields for the donation of
films or concerts generating proceeds to
help finance public interest work.
The April 8th benefit represents a
cooperative effort between the public
interest groups and Warner Brothers,
distributor of the Wildwood Enterprises
production. The studio is contributing the
film and local publicity. while the Oregon
groups are handling ticket sales and

The Oregon Department of Revenue's
decision requiring ASH-Lane students to
• b ac k part of t h eir
• 1974 renter ' s tax
g1ve
refund plus interest should be investigated, OSPIRG said today. Students
affected by this decision are urged to meet
at LCC with Steve Sands, OSPIRG staff
member, April 8 at 3 p.m. in Forum 311.
According to Sands, ASH applied for a
tax exempt status in early 1974, but was
not granted the exemption until early 1975,
after the renter's tax certificates had been
issued. ASH officials knew of the
reassessment in September of 1975, but
not until recently did students know they
would have to repay that money with
interest.
The Department of Revenue's action
raises a number of questions, according to
Sands. "Why do past ASH-Lane residents
and other ASH residents across the state
have to pay interest on that money since
they were not notified seven months ago
when the decision W~S effective? Why
were students not advised at the time rent
certificates were issued that they might
have to return the refund later?"
Stude_nts should also be told whether the
retroactive tax status change resulted in a
tax refund to ASH-Lane whic_h could be
passed on to students m lower rents, Sands
said.
''Students deserve answers to these and
other questions before they part with
do!lars they were refunded a year ago, ''
sa1d Sands.
OSPIRG plans to work with LCC ASH
tenants to investigate this problem.

Trackers tromp on trio trip
by Don Sinclair

Tarp's trackers appear to be the
dominant force in the OCCAA again this
year after only one three-way meet. They
destroyed Umpqua and Central last
Saturday at Roseburg, scoring 105 points
to 44 and 27 points respectively for the
losers.

5-4 over SOSC ]V's

Raque ·+-s Rally
by Don Sinclair
The men's di vision of the Titan
Raqueteers won their first match of the
season Tuesday afternoon over Southern
Oregon State College, 5-4.
The number one doubles team of Chuck
Gi:iodin and Mike .Demong captured the
fifth point by winning in straight sets.
Karl Bylund, playfog ·n umber two got the
first win, then no. { Jim Gertsen followed
with a win, also in straight sets. Number
five ranked Steve Sundstrum then won the
longest match of the day 6-3, 1-6, and the
tie breaker in the third set 7-6. Mike
Demong came late and played number six,
much lower than he should play and toyed
to a 6-3, 6-4 win.
Goodin and Mark Newman played the
one and three spots respectively and both
had horrible days, losing 6-0, 6-2, and 6-3,
•6-1.
"We got the win and we got to play
nearly all our men,'' says Don Wilson.
Don Wil-.on, the men's tennis coach at
LCC is a young man (34) who came to LCC
in 1970 without any previous coaching
expcnence. He's never had a losing
season and he feels hb teams are to win
the OCCAA. There's only one problem:
the Titans aren'l in the league an-O
probably won't be financially able to join
the league unless some miraculous windfall gets blown onto the court before
tournament time in May.
Tennis for both men and' women as a
club sport has been available since 1969.
Prior to Wilson's arrival at LCC as a
psychology instructor, most of the matches
<;chcduled were with high schools. He
volunteered his services after having
lettered for two years at San Francisco
State, a team that won the Far West
Conference in 1963. LCC's tennis coach
had just died and though Wilson was
teaching full time in pysch and had very
little coaching experience, he got the job.
Last year's team was the best so far,
finishing the season with a 16-1 record,
their only loss coming in the first match of
the season to Willamette University's
Varsity ... and they .only lost that on 5-4.
Team scoring in tennis is very easy. In
each match, six singles games and three
doubles g\mes are played. A team gets
one point for each victory. When you get at
least five points, you've won the match.
Wilson says he has seven players
capable of holding the Number One
position of the team, four sophmores and
three freshmen. Tuesdays first match
positioning was set arbitrarily by Wilson
but after the first meet, challenge matches
will be held between players to determine
what". position they'll play. If the team
deptl-i is as good as Wilson says, the
chalh~nge matches will probably be as
fierce as a scheduled intercollegiat e meet.
Wilson is trying to get benches set up for
spectators, somehow get a scoreboard,
teaching psych, while managing, coaching,
and publicizing his tennis team.
With a11 that effort on his part, you might
drop by the courts and give a cheer for the
Titan Raqueteers. Next home matches are
Saturday, April 17 and Monday, April 19.
Admission is free ... so are butterflies.

Sprinter Gary Barnes and weightman
Bill Bailey both scored double victories,
Barnes winning the 440 and 220 and Bailey
the shot and discus.
Mike McGriff won the three mile , Bob
Moore won the high jump at 6' 7" on his
first jump of the season, Bob Person won
the 100, Joel Johnson won the 330
intermediate hurdles, and Tom McDonald
won- the 880. Larry Goheen won the long
jump (it used to be called the hop, step and
jump). Lane also won the mile relay.
And with all this, Coach Al Tarpenning
was still not too happy with the times,
"There's no question, the cold weather
hurt us. We got some pretty good
performances for this time of year, but we
still have a long w~y to go. But we won and
we sustained no injuries."
This Saturday may be a different story
however. Starting at 1 p.m. on LCC's
track, a seven-team meet featuring the
Oregon Track Club, LCC, Clackamas and
the Oregon JV's. Tarpenning said any one
of those teams could win. "It should be an
excellent meet and we'll have some
outstanding athletes on hand."
There is no admission charge.

WILL BE CLOSED
APRIL 9-15

Titans into 1ST

Dave Gambino lifted a fast ball high over
the left field fence in the bottom half of the
last inning to give LCC a 2-1 victory and a
split of a tough doubleheade r with
Clackamas CC Tuesday afternoon.
CCC won the first game 3-2 as their
centerfielder Jacobson banged a double off
the new fence to score th~ winning run
from first. Randy Guimond hit a two-run
homer in the fifth to keep the Titans close.
Donnie Lee got the win in the second
game while Pete Twyman took the loss in
the first. Dave Montgomery was four for
five at the plate with a base on balls and a
run scored.
The win leaves the Titans in a tie for first
place with Linn-Benton CC after LBCC
split with Umpqua, losing 7-6, then
winning the dusker, 5-3.
Roger Plant caught both games and was
disappointed at the loss and dismayed at
himself. Chasing a wild pitch in the sixth
inning of the second game, he threw away
his face protector only to have it come
down and split his scaip. Gutsy, bloody,
and taped, he finished the game and
watched Gambino lead off with his
booming four bagger.
Coach Dwayne Miller told his team,
"There are 22 league games left. We 'll
take a split once in a while. We beat one of
the best'pitchers in the league today.''
The object of the game of baseball is to
score more runs than the opposition. If you
can keep the other team from scoring , you
stand a good chance of winning.
The Titans have won their last five
games, scoring 41 runs and allowing the
The
opposition but one run.
_Titans shut ' out Judson Baptist twice by
scores of 8-0 and 12-0 and beat the Oregon
JV's 1-0 this last week.
Linn-Benton shut out Blue Mountain
twice by identical scores of 10-0.
Clackamas was in third place with a 3-1
record, splitting a doubleheade r with
Umpqua last week.
Titan baseball continues here at home
this Thursday afternoon when they play the
Oregon State JV's, the game starting at 1
p.m. Saturday, they play two more league
games at Roseburg against 4th place

Rumors are going around--we may be
losing our basketball coach to Southern
Oregon State College in Ashland.
Early last week the Medford MailTribune contacted LCC's basketball coach
Dale Bates and then informed their
readership that apparently Bates could
have the job if he wanted it.
Later in the week, Dave Kayfes of the
Register-Gu ard said both Bates and
Barney Holland of North Eugene High
School were being considered.

DALE BATES OCCAA Coach of the Year

photo by Jeff Hayden
Friday I talked with Dale during spring
basketball workouts. Much more relaxed
after the season is over and with more time
to take C.B. (Mrs. Bates) to Reno, Dale is
already working on next year's team. Bear
in mind, he's not sure where he's going to
coach. Think of the dilemma you would
have in that situation--Look, I've got a
chance at a good job at a four year school.
If I can recruit some good high school
athletes and take them with me, I'll stand a
better chance of getting thejob, having a
good team and that'll all be done before I
even get there.
That's what you might think. Bates is
going to be ready whether in Eugene or
Ashland.
He can go to SOSC and take at least five
of his sophomores with him . . . that same
team that won the OCCAA with the best

He has 10 years of college experience.
He played his college ball at SOSC (then
SOC) and was the MVP when he was a
senior ('56- '57).
Three years ago when Bates left SWOCC
and came to LCC he left a championship
team at Coos Bay. But he was still a good
enough coach t~ beat that SWOCC team
with but mediocre talent here at LCC.
The important thing to look at ·is the
possibility that we may need a new coach,
and that one of the candidates for the SOSC
position is North Eugene's Barney Holland. It seems inconceivable that he'd be
picked for the job at Ashland, having no
previous college experience . But it would
also seem to be practical to have
Mr. Holland consider the position here at
LCC. He has shown that he can win.
With the new rule-change awarding two
foul shots (rather than one) to the opposing
team for any coach receiving a technical
foul from the bench, Hollering Holland will
have to learn a modicum of moderation in
referee baiting, wherever he goes.
Bates will probably get the job in
Ashland. We should wish him the very
best of luck when it happens and follow his
progress after his departure. He brought
disciplined, fine athletes to our school and
built league champions two years in a row.
Most importantly, he took non-athlete
students in his classes and taught them
how to participate with confidence.
