Lack of partic~ation and time photo by Scott Stuart . 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. Senator opens mouth, I:t-JSI :OE: : Board Candidates retracts his foot 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 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. 1976-77TORCH EDITORSH IP Po~~oQdbQ The LCC Media Commission - a body of students and staff - is now taking applications for '76-77 TORCH Editor.

April 7, 1976 __________________ £;~7d____________________ page5 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 ..r enough to level off the increase in property But over the 12 year span, Dr. Brauer value . saw students increasingly involved in the "Property tax, in essence, is an politics of LCC. '' It has not been less lately outmoded tax," Brauer says. "I would like than it has been. It has been definitely to see it reduced.'' Brauer feels that more intense than in the first years,'' says elimination of property taxes would lessen Brauer. the problems involved with budget levies, Two men, Charles Nugent and Edward such as the inability to get them passed. Cooper are running for the Crow"It's really not a fair tax. It is Applegate seat. Dr. Brauer refused to degenerative," says Brauer. "If you make comment about either candidate . upgrade your property (imptove it in any •Brauer' s term ends officially on July 1, way) you pay more taxes. Property tax 1976. reduces the motivation to upgrade." .. . .7 :::::::~.-: ... s:-s~!f "&;t~f~~~ d.- ; ~:-r~~?-~UC:0~~::.(>::•-L.:::~:::::::::::::::.~;;_ ./2.".:~::::::.:(::\ ...., .:::::::}; < u., .:::_:__ .... .. {: ,.:'/.){ .. ...... :{:::::;::_ __ ..... ;:::::::t :: ..:.......::::;:::;::::::::__ .... ::::::::::::::•:•~ -...-:·:::::::::::::/ ;:,.;::::~::::t .. ... ::::::::;::::::::::::::.:::::::!:::::;::-·::::::~;: ..;::::::•:.··=·=:..n~::F• :!!- -- ·:::::~:::;::::::::-•·::::::::::::::;:~: \~H-. ·::::::;:;:r•; :. ···•·::::::::::~:: -··-.. .. -·:::::::::;:: ••··;·--- ·;·::::::;:;~:- ·: 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" ,, pages ------- ------- ---~~~ ra1·______ ______ _____ ApriI1, 1976 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.

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.

"' , \ ,~ • pages------------------, 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. Pat Beaudin, of Central Lynn, succesfully completes an arc weld.

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. ,~ / v..,"TC/Z·-----------------------------------------page9 April 7, 1976 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. '' Welding major Robert Collins operating a semi-automatic wire machine.

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 '/ }~Ll ' I \ ' .J I. fl060MS ,- • !i)fh1ft;;;amiµ'rfA1!!!1F- 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." DID L.C.C. HAS LEGAL SERVICES YOU FOR STUDENTS ?

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.

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. The BIG BROTHER/BIG SISTER program is very successful. I attended a meeting of BIG BROTHER/BIG SISTER and I was convinced of the good work being done. Volunteers told of feeling like a kid themselves while engaging in activities their little sister/brother enjoy. Significant changes in the children's behavior and general outlook were mentioned by nearly everyone. Volunteers also expressed the satisfaction they get relating to a younger person: Seeing her point of view and offering her guidance and advice when asked. The program needs volunteers who are sympathetic to other's needs and can comprehend the impact their influence will have on a child's growth and development into a healthy adult. The program needs people who have 3-5 hours a week to share with someone anxious for companionship. If this activity appeals to you, please call Ron Paul, BIG BROTHER/SISTER coordinator at 726-3263. 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.'' A group of concerned people have gotten together and set up a program called BIG Mountain Festival Films Presents FIVE INTERNATIONAL MOUNTAIN CLIMBING FILMS NCAA sues HEW for discrimination tions, a program which is neither warranted by the facts nor authorized by Title IX.'' HEW spokespersons said they would not comment on the case until the General Counsel's office had a chance to review the suit. But past positions taken by HEW and federal courts have been that college athletics indirectly benefit from any federal financial assistance provided a college. And in at least one case already decided by a federal district court, financial assistance to a college could mean simply that students attending that school received some kind of federal financial aid.

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. ' A. ~-. .'• . '.~ · .. '••.... .jJ·· •• •\ ;, .- '. , ; above; douglas hevenor. right; from les demoiselles militantes. 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 invited to bring their lunch. 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. Tempest Performance dates are April 23, 24, 29, 30 and May 1, with curtain time at 8 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at the theater box office from 10 a.m. till 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

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 N ROBERTSON'S DRUGS special activities connected v, ith the premier.

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. J,-------- --t ~)la(i'MIM.)Wr.~ ~ ~ ~ - 1 ~ - ~ : ) - Q ~ - ~ ; - r i & • C l ~ Q l k : ~ - - - ASH-Lane blooper .

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 11 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 Umpqua CC. ~rf Re-open NOON Fri. the 16th. See you then LORENZO league record in history (16-2), that had the league MVP (Rick Weidig) , that had five of its members named to an All-League team or honorable mention (Weidig, Woods, Anderson, Johnston and Morehead). This solves a cou pie of problems for Bates . . . real problems that have been in his own head . . . how to get his talented ball players from a two year school to a four year school since not a single basketball player in Lane's history has been given a scholarship at a four year school. It solves a lot of recruiting problems, too. He knows the material he can take down there, if he goes. He can still recruit for Lane in the meantime. If he didn't ask another high school athlete to come to Lane, he'd still be leaving one helluva good team from this year with McCarthy, Haberly and Gries having considerable playing time and Steve Nichols coming out of red shirt. He also leaves a winning tradition after having won the league the last two years in a row. But just a moment. He hasn't left yet. (But the chances are very good he'll get the jol•.) By Don Sinclair Cffl~,;.~ Upmthel!! ' Scarboro Faire 136th E. 11th , 1 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. Gambino blasts islial · 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.
