LANE COMMUNITY Watch for a special 4 page TORCH Election Supplement, coming Friday. COLLEGE [ Vol. 13 No. 27 May 12, 1976 page Interdisciplinary Studies 1J Boa rd may disb and dep artm ent by Mike McLain The Interdisciplinary Studies Department will be disbanded tonight if the LCC Board of Education accepts a recommendation to that effect from Dean of Instruction, Gerald Rassmussen. Rasmussen is concurring with the recommendation of Associate Dean Joyce Hopps, who has just completed an ''indepth study'' of the need for a separate department. The study concluded that the courses currently offered in the department could ''be supported more adequately within larger departments and can be well served by being placed within the main dialogue existing within those disciplines." Hopps will tell the Board fhat it is not "contemplated that any courses presently offered through the Interdisciplina ry Studies Department will be discontinued,'' and it is her recommendation that the classes be assigned to either Social Science or Language Arts. Hopps also says that "As a result of this decision, no personnel will be forced out of their existing teaching position,'' and the college . will provide a "center" for students to share common interests among themselves if they so desire. Hopps' study and the recommendation from Rasmussen grew out of the December 10 meeting of the Board when it was decided to postpone a recommendation by Rasmussen ·to disband the department until a comprehensive evaluation could be done Spring Term. Also included in the recommendation is the plan to assign the current department chairman, Bill Powell to a full time teaching position as well as give presently existing part-time staff priority in teaching courses they now instruct. One of the rationals for the recommendation is that none of the other 13 community colleges in Oregci"'n have a separate department for ethnic study classes although they do offer the courses. In the other schools, according to Hopps, these classes are contained within other disciplines. "Does a program which appears to be segregated and gives the appearance of serving mainly minorities," Hopps also questioned, ''really meet the goals and objectives of the courses involved?" Another reason Hopps gives for the recommendation is the comparably high cost in staff expenditure per Full Time Equivalency (FfE) student in the department. The total staff expenditure per FTE for the Interdisciplinary Studies Department was $723.31 in 1974-75 while in the Social Science Department it was $441.12 for the same period. Rasmussen stated earlier that because "Women's Studies classes are contained within the Interdisciplinary Studies Department, any discussion about the department will include a discussion about the future of Women's Studies." The Board will meet to discuss the matter at 7:30 p.m. in the Board Room.

OSPIRG has requested that the Department of Revenue waive the interest charges on the grounds that neither did the students know of the change at the time it occurred, nor do they now have the money to pay it back, in most cases. • OSPIRG also claimed that the revenue department disregarded the students' interests, by not notifying them of the exempt status until they sent them deficiency assessment notices. But Department of Revenue Director John ·Lobdell responded to the request as such: "The students have erroneously received renter refunds. They have been assured that they may pay under the friendliest of circumstances. Repayment under an installment plan will not subject them to the penalties that are imposed by law, and we will--if individual circumstances warrant--conside r the problem of interest, but place a condition on that consideration that a reasonable payment program has not only been agreed upon but is also timely executed. In no case where the student ignores the problem and the responsibility will I waiver either interest or penalty.'' According to Deputy Director of the Department of Revenue Robyn Godwin, the department is required by law to collect interest ort money owed the stace. ''The average return has been about $75 per student," says Godwin, "with interest of about $6.'' If a penalty would have to be assessed, it would be charged on top of the return, plus interest, at a rate of 5 per cent per month up to a maximum of 25 per cent, says Godwin. But no penalties have been assessed yet, according to Godwin, and according to Judith Armatta, of OSPIRG. "We'll waive the penalties _if they (former ASH residents) respond to us and offer to pay so much a month," Godwin says. "If they ignore it, they will be penalized." Although the students have filed for and received rebates they did not have coming to them, "I'ni sure the students did not even know about· the refund--they'II be penalized only if they fail to respond." OSPIRG, however, is still trying to get the interest and possible penalties waived. "We're working through Governor Straub's office to get it worked out," says Armatta. But the initial response from Straub's office is in support of the Department of Revenue's response. OSPIRG is trying again, according to Armatta. OSPIRG has also called for an investigation of Oregon's A SH organization to determine what happened to some $100,000 in tax exemptions saved by ASH from July 1, 1974 to September, 1975. In a letter dated April 21, 1976, OSPIRG a~ke·d Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development Director Russell Dawson to investigate the matter. But HUD responded to OSPIRG, saying that they • cannot release any information concerning the case presently. _ "We told them (OSPIRG) that as long as the case (Bender-McLen nan fraud case which was uncovered by a 1972 OSPIRG investigation) is tied up in litigation we will look at it on a regular basis along with all other nationwide ASH facilities," says Deputy Director of Oregon's HUD office, Lynn Stowell. continued on page 10 1ns10e: -Senate committee on the CIA . .page 3 Dennis Banks speaks . . . . . . . ... page 4 All about lice . . . . . . . . . .page 6 Oregon's habitat. ............. page 7 Titans win meet .............. . page 11 . . 995 1 CHOICE PQ"' ~ ~rJ-\UNIPERM ==~- llllicklt- ~ -• isnowat THE GOLDEN KEY r..

The committee, chaired by Frank Church (D-Idaho), has shown that the CIA has long maintained intimate ties with academicians at hundreds of universities, using them on a "massive" scale. The names of specific individuals and institutions were deleted from the report. All covert connections between universities and the CIA which were established after l 96 7 are in direct violation of a presidential order handed down by Lyndon Johnson. Most of the contacts are limited to asking professors about their travels. But professors are also used to consult on areas of expertise, to provide data while traveling abroad and to write books used for propaganda in foreign countries. Since 1969. said the Senate report, the CIA has produced about 250 books abroad, dealing with everything from wildlife to T.S. Eliot to capitalism. In at least one case, at Washington University in St. Louis, a faculty member was used by the CIA to provide information on his colleagues. The CIA also exerted heavy influence in funding academic projects, funnelling money through philanthropic organizations. Between 1963 and 1966, the CIA helped fund nearly half of 164 grants in the field of international affairs. Only the three • biggest foundations--Rockefeller, Carnegie and Ford--did not participate. The CIA has connected itself to universities almost since the agency's inception in the late forties. In 1951, for example, the CIA helped establish a research institute at a major American university. The institute was set up to study world-wide political, economic and social changes. During the fifties and sixties, the CIA turned increasingly to covert action in student, cultural and labor matters, according to the Senate report. The CIA's view was, said the report, that "the struggle with communism was seen to be, at center, a struggle between our institutions and theirs.'' Covert links between the CIA and the American academic community first came 1to the public eye in 1967, when Ramparts magazine proved that the intelligence agency was connected to the National Student Association (NSA). Besides providing the NSA with secret funding, the CIA used students in the Organization for students over 25 in plan.ning Plans are currently underway to form a statewide organization for college and university students over the age of 25. The proposed organization grew out of the First Annual Oregon Conference on Lifelong Learning, held at Southern Oregon State College in April. The purpose of the organization will be to "raise the consciousness level" of school administrators to the special needs of "older" students, according to Jane Farrand, University of Oregon coordinator of lifelong learning services. A steering committee of representatives from · Portland State University, Oregon State University, Oregon College of Education and Southern Oregon State College plans to meet in the Fall to discuss the philosophy and direction of the planned organization . .Any.students interested in taking part in the planning should contact Farrand, Room 164.

In the wake of the Ramparts expose, President Johnson set up a committee to investigate CIA connections with the academic world, headed by Nicholas Katzenbach, Under Secretary of State at the time. Katzenbach, however, recently admitted that his committee's purpose was not only to investigate CIA-university ties, but to head off a full-scale congressional investigation. The real intention, said Katzenbach, w~.s to shield the CIA. AlJ covert relationships were to be excluded from the committee's report. Katzenbach also testified that he wanted his investigation to specifically exclude all relationships between the CIA and American businesses abroad. Even before the 1967 revelations, CIA said the Church committee. Although the Senate committee warned covert activities through student and cultural groups were being curtailed.

FUTURE •·-ASILCCCC Page 4 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ U7ofi_________________ Mayt2, 1976 Dennis Banks predicts AIM leader's trial I delayed by politics by Mike_McLain American Indian Movement (AIM) founder Dennis Banks predi'cted Monday that federal firearms and explosives charges against him will be dismissed when the case goes to trial in Portland today. "But, don't be fooled," Banks warned his audience at Lane Community College. ·"They just want to _postpone the trial. When they dismiss the charges they will re-indict us for a trial in November.'' Banks, his wife and several companions were arrested last fall following an incident in Ontario, Oregon in which they allegedly transported guns and explosives across the state border from Idaho. • Speaking to a crowd of approximately 300 people in LCC's Forum Building, Banks said that although the prosecution· will claim they' 'don't have full evidence .. the rear reason (for the delay) is that on May 25 there will be a lot of politicians in t_own for the primary and they don't want this issue raised.'' He said they <lop 't want to deal with the fact that ''the American Indian Movement is also in town." Banks was at LCC to build support for his effort to fight extradition to South Dakota where he is wanted for sentencing on a July 1975 convietion of "riot where arson is committed." Banks said_he "fears for his life'' if he is forced to return to South Dakota because of a statenfent allegedly made by South Dakota Attorney General WiHiam Janklow that the best way to stop militant AIM members is to, ''put a bullet in the guy's head, he won't bother you any more." Dennis Roberts, an attorney for Banks and co-speaker, told the audience it is ''impossible for an Indian to get a fair trial in South Dakota because racism permeates the entire government.'' "I am here seeking sanctuary," said the 44 year old Chippewa. ''I am here seeking the same kind of sanctuary that the people of Jamestown got from the Indians.' Whiie Banks explained what he termed misunderstandings about AIM and their actions at "Wounded Knee," South Dakota in 1973, his companions obtained signatures from most of the audience on a petition to Governor Straub of Oregon, and Governor Brown •of California urging the il,r two men to refuse extradition. They also managed to fill two coffee cans with dollar bills and change in donations to help Banks Straub is in his extradition fight. scheduled to make a decision on Banks' extradition in May. ''There has been a great misunderstanding about the American Indian Movement,'' he said, and he blames the news media for, "failing fo get the truth about why Wounded Knee came down in 1973, about why it became violent." His contact with the media at Wounded Knee convinced him that "SO per cent of the media works for the FBI " because some of the newsmen that he had considered ''friends'' ended up as witnesses for the prosection. "Wounded Knee had to happen," said Banks. He explained that the deplorable conditions on the Pine Ridge reservation in 1973 got to the point where two of the tribaf women finally said ''no inore. M "The Indian women have watc~ed their children commit suicide, and their sons and husbands turn into drunks,'' he said. ''So they challenged the Tribal Headsmen; 'You men must do something about yourselves; where is the spjrit of Crazy Horse?' " Banks told the audience that during a 1973 tribal council, Oglala Medicine Man Fools Crow told the other headsmen, "We, must listen to the women; we are no longer men. We must put down the peace pipe u_ntil there is real peace for the Indian. We must call upon the Dog Soldiers and the Chiefs and people from across the nation and tell them to come to Wounded Knee."· In 1890, Wounded Knee, South Dakota was the site of the last major altercation between Indians and the American .army where Banks said, "200 women and children were massacred.'' Banks said Black Elk, an Oglala Medicine Man who witnessed the 1890 battle, told the tribe before his death that the Wounded Knee battle had ''broken the Hoop of the Indian Nation and killed the Tree of Life.'' These are symbolic references to the unity and strength of the Indian nations. "Fools Crow told the 1973 council,. 'We must go back to Wounded Knee and mend qf ~,v . tfi the Hoop of Nations and water the Tree of Life.' That was our dream," Banks said. "It's hard to be an Indian when you are the landlord in this country and the tenants have taken over.'' Banks blamed the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) for much of the Indian's plight. "In 1849 the BIA was given 155 million acres of Indian land in trust. Since then they have given away over 100 million of those acres.'• Banks likened this to someone placing 155 acres of land into the hands of a lawyer and after a year finding out the lawyer had donated 100 acres of the land to '' Standard Oil, Minnesota Mining, etc." "Well, you could fire the lawyer, but we can't fire the BIA. I don't know why." Banks felt many people have the misconception that AIM engages in nothing but militant actions. "Much of our work is in the area of education and We built 141 houses in ~ousing. Minnesota (Banks' home state) with Housing and Urban Development grants, and we're trying to build 141 more." photo by Jeff Hayden AIM has also been instrumental. according to Banks, in establishing 15 urban Indian schools across the country. '' In July the AIM survival school in Minnesota will be used as a model for future urban Indian schools." He said there needs to be "major changes in the field of Indian education." ''I would like to see corrections in history textbooks that make reference to Indians only as murderers of white women and children." Once, when he was asked to _give a talk on busing, Banks said, "You should take the busses, back them up to the schools and load all the curricula into them and take the books to the local dump.'' Following his explaination of som_e of AIM's projects, Banks said he didn't know what Straub would do about his extradition, but he told listeners that, "I throw my case before you. You are my jury; you can say 'send him back,' or you can say 'keep him here.' I would like to know that non-Indians would dare to stand and deliver the message."

By Bill McGraw (CPS)--"Work," boomed author Studs Terkel, whose very name has become synonymous with drudgery, boredom and sweat, "gives the modern American a feeling of "anonymity and wondering." The Chicagoan told an audience of Berkeley students early this year that working people today are asking themselves " what am I doing? " as they -perform their " daily humiliations , " as Terkel put it in his best-selling book, Working. '' What am I doing,'' wonders Anna Shapiro as she licks an envelope addressed to, of all people, Studs Terkel, an envelope containing a royalty check for that very book, Working. "I wanted to send it in with a letter,' ' Shapiro wrote recently in Seven Days magazine. "Dear S.T.: The irony of the situation overwhelms me. My yearly salary for stuffing envelopes is less than one-fifth of this check which represents one-half of your yearly profits from a book about people who stuff envelopes." Work. It's still the foundation of modern society and the thing that so turned on the Puritans, but today, work is probably the biggest losers around. As the nature of modern industrial society changes, the work ethic is changing as well, experts are saying, even disappearing, according to some. The long range leaders talking in chilling, desperate terms about the future of work and its consequences for the world. One thing everyone agrees on: Students and other young Americans stand to lose the most in this coming· transformation to ''The irony of the situation overwhelms me." what one insurance industry research group catled a "somewhat different culture." Unemployment is currently the biggest bug~boo in nearly every Western nation . In the U.S. , the rate hovers about the 7.5 percent mark, 13.7 for blacks. 19.2 percent for young people and a whopping 35.2 percent for young blacks. These dismal rates ~on 't soon improve, experts warn. " Even with recovery," says cautious Business Week magazine, "unemployment will stick at a very high level; at least five percent through 1980." But even that five percent prediction hinges on whether the country can generate 12 million jobs by 1980, a tricky proposition when one looks at the work situation closely. Conjuring up 12 million jobs in 14 years, admits Bbsiness Week, "is more than have ever been generated before." The task of creating all those jobs goes on top of a changing work force situation. The nation's jobs are slowly changing from a manufacturing character to a service ·and information-oriented nature. Today, the fastest growing jobs are in managerial, professional , technical and clerical fields, which already account for 40 percent of the labor force. The work force is changing in human makeup as well. Plunging into the job market for the first time in large numbers are young women; three times as many women as men entered the work force last year and one Temple University economist predicts they'll reach parity with men by 1980. Since the economy is unable to generate enough jobs for the population , women, teens, minorities and the usual number of men are scrambling after the meager offerings. This vicious circle is called an economic "structural problem" by experts and it is nagging the people who think about such things because ' ' structural problems" don't respond to the usual market manipulations. "In the western world , something has changed radically in political economics," Business Week announces. "Our economy suffers from a serious mismatch between available jobs and available workers,'' says Northwestern University economist Robert J. Gordon. Moreover, the expected tight economy for the next 15 years is creating a massive pool of "underemployed" people, a polite way of saying many former students with doctoral degrees in hand are emptying trash for a living. A recent University of Michigan study found that as much as 27 per cent of the U.S. work force is performing a job for which they have been overtrained or overeducated. The Wall Street Jou,nal says "underemployment" will soon become a chronic problem. "Indeed, some analysts believe that many of today's underemployed will probably spend the rest of their careers in jobs that don't match their qualifications,'' warns the Journal. "That," it adds, "has ominous implications for industry and society.'' Says urban economist Charles Holt, "it's a smoldering problem." Students should expect the worse for the writing seems to be on the wall. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports rapidly rising numbers of college graduates--both men and iwomen--are being forced to take jobs unrelated to their majors and unrelated to college at all. "The golden age is over for higher education," says Harvard economist Richard Freeman. '' A college degree no longer guarantees a good, high-paying job, so graduates are taking the best they can get.'' George Rieder, president of the American Society "The golden age is over for higher education." for Personnel Adm inistration, agrees. "The simple fact is we've educated people too much for the wrong types of careers.'• On top of all these facts and statistics, the future stockholder might also consider the more philosophical bugaboo creeping into the work force--the growing refusal among many people to work at all. Philip Mason, achivist at the Walter Reuther Labor Archives at Wayne State University in Detroit, writes in a long essay in a recent National Observer that "many observers view with deep alarm the apparently changing attitudes of American workers to their jobs and the existing free' enterprise system.'' Mason adds that many workers--especiallf the young-"have little committment to their job. They view with equal suspicion the business for which they work and the labor union which represents them," he says.

We are being invaded, or rather infested, by the Pediculosis--lice. This epidemic has been kept fairly quiet despite the fact that over two million people become lousy each year.

They are transmitted from person to person via such articles as infested brushes, hats, or anything in contact with the head. Body lice inhabit clothing, preferably the seams of those garments worn closest to the warm skin. Body lice are especially a problem when clothes are not often changed or washed. Miners, who used to sew their underwear on for the winter, didn't call their long-johns "itchiescratchies" for nothing. Body lice are transmitted through direct contact with an infested person or with a lousy piece of clothing. Crab lice are most commonly found living in pubic hairs, although infestations of the eyebrows, eyelashes, and hairy areas of the chest and armpits are also possible. l ;.__ ( VD). This attitude has led to a great deal of unnecessary itching. It is true that lice thrive in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, such as those always accompanying war or natural disasters. But anyone can become infested with lice--anyone, Lice are blood-sucking insects and don't care whose blood they feed on.

Generally, each race of lice remains in its own area and mates with its own kind. Occassionally, though, an adventurous body louse happens upon a head louse somewhere near the collar level and the two form an alliance producing fertile little lice. The crab louse absolutely refuses to develop a meaningful relationship with anything other than another crab, taking a stand for ethnic purity.

If they are there, do something appropriate to get rid of them soon. The lice have it very good where they are living, and will not leave unless forcibly evicted. Lane Senior citizens Day, May .15 I ----------------------------I lane I fast, that's part of the reason for the epidemic. School children, having even limited contact with an infested person, are very likely to get lousy and then spread it on. One person can easily infest his/her entire family and all those having close contact with them. Once the lice have been detected it is not a difficult matter to get rid of them, provided one gets all o( them. This means that each person who might be infested must be treated and any personal belonging that might be infested must be either washed in very hot water and dried in a hot commercial dryer or dry cleaned. Activities begin at 9:30 a.m. in the cafeteria, will be followed by panel discussions and special interest sessions from 11 a.m. to noon, and will conclude at 3 p.m. Participants can bring th.e ir own lunch or order a $1 meal. Reservations for the lunch must be made by May 10. Tickets may be obtained at Eugene-Springfield area senior centers;' the Senior Crafts Gift House, 169 East Broadway; elderly nutrition sites throughout the county, and RSVP offices. All other activities are free and open to anyone. This year's Senior Citizens Day will be devoted to ''You and Y"W health,'' and will feature a panel discussion, as well as a variety of booths and exhibits providing a wide range of free information and opportunities for seniors to receive answers to their health questions. Among the featured speakers are Ruth Shephefd, State Special Assistant on Aging, and Dr. William Va':1 O~rnan, visiting professor at the Un1vers1ty of Oregon and one of the original organi~ers of the White House Conference on Agmg.

A University of Michigan professor has another explanation. The reason for lowered scores, according to Dr. Robert Zajonc. is that there are more stupid children running around these days. Zajonc reports that a 12 year study of the scores has shown first born children· usually fare best on the tests. Zajonc concluded that the last child born into a family, as well as an only child, are at an automatic disadvantage in taking SAT tests. But there's hope for the future. A high percentage of children born between 1947 and 1962--the students now taking the SA Ts--were born into disadvantageously sized families. Zajonc predicts that the trend should continue until 1980 before reversing itself. China hit by meteor barrage (CPS)--ln China not even meteorites remain apolitical for Jong. When a meteorite weighing nearly 4,000 pounds crashed to earth in northeast China recently, scientists conducted their research in the spirit of the revolution. The survey by a scientific team, according to the official report at least, ''was conducted in the excellent situation in which the people of the whole country are intensifying the criticism of TengHsiao-ping's counter-revolutionary crimes and deepening the struggling against the right deviationist attempt to reverse correct verdicts."

A Habitat with a Future," a day long forum concerning population growth, intergenerational activities, power resources, and land use, was presented to the public on Saturday, May 8, in the Forum Building. The forum, which hosted five guest speakers and a panel of eight, was moderated by Gerald Rasmussen, dean of Instructional Operations at LCC, and sponsored by The National Endowment for the Humanities and the Oregon Commission for the Humanities. Counting the panel, about 30 people attended the conference. Gerald Rasmussen, dean of Instructional Operations at LCC moderated, and John Alcock, supervisor of the Willamette National Forest, gave the keyno!e speech at the con!er~nce on habitat attended by about 30 people, May 8, m the Forum Bu1ldmg. "We in Oregon should be optimistic," emphasized J_o hn Alcock, supervisor of the Willamette National Forest in his keynote speech. "We have tremendous resources here that are still largely unspoiled," he added. Alcock said the clean up of the Willamette River and work on the Willamette Greenway have been a '' great start.'' He said his main concern was to inform the people of the problems at hand and tci get them involved. Betsy Moen, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Oregon discussed ' '. Population Planning and Projections." Moen presented a b~ief background of existing methods of proJecting population growth. "Can we dictate fertility laws and tell people where to live? We say no, but it's done in subtle, subconscious ways." Moen explained that through zoning ·1aws (what type of house, the size, the cost) cities can effectively control the age, social status and size of their populations. Dulcinia Elliot, from the Emerald Empire Council on Aging spoke on intergenerational activities. "Some of the youngest people I know are crowding 80," she said. Comparing life in her youth to young people's lives today, Elliot said students are at a disadvantage. "We grew up believing we should be self-sustaining and would starve before we'd ask for help. Someone who gets food stamps without really needing them wouldn't understand that.'' Students--even students of gerentology--can't understand this ethic. phOto by ~cott Muart Panel Members discussed population growth, intergenerational activities, power resources and land use during the day long conference. But Ron Wyden, who works with the Gray Panthers, said, ''What is important is your own particular uniqueness to the community, not what age level yo-u've reached." He said his main concern is with nursing homes and the quality of care patients receive there. "Most of the work is done by nurses aides. We want to improve the quality of the aides so we can improve the quality of the· care.'' Wyden hopes to do this by passing a la~ for mandatory requirements for nurses aides. James E. Mayes, customer and technical service representative from Pacific Power and Light Company, spoke on present and future power sources. "The demand for electric energy is doubling every decade ,:• he said. "Since each area of power 1s related to another, all must be labeled crisis to get ~ttention." Mayes said there is a problem in getting people to realize that alternative energy sources may not be available for a long time. "Just because a Texan uses solar energy for 50 per cent of his heat does not mean we can do it here. Not too many people would go to the trouble and energy to put in a solar energy plant that would save them only $36 a year." There are presently 240 powerproducing windmills operating in the, US according to Mayes. "We have applied for one of the governments mills to put in Wyoming. A problem with this source is that you must have wind. " Concerning alternative sources Mayes says we cannot expect any major contributions until 1985 or the year 2000. "A saying around P P and L is 'Use all you need , but save all you can!' he addeo. Afternoon conference session deals with land use issue by Tom Carlson Lane Transit District Director of Planning, David Rynerson spoke on the relationship between land use and transportation planning. He took issue with an argument that patterns of population growth are determined primarily by transportation planning, maintaining instead that residential and employment sites determine the means and routes of transportation, and that all three in conjunction determine the pattern of growth. Citing the importance of citizen participation in land use planning, particularly in the initial stages when goals are set, Dorothy Anderson, member of the Land Conservation and Development Commission said , ''Each community is different. Each community has specific goals in addition to statewide goals.'' She added that citizens must be involved in the resolving of conflicts, such as the conflict between "development" and "conservation" in land use planning, and for diversity of input. An explanation of the "1990 Plan," as part of the data base for land use planning in Eugene, Springfield and surrounding urbanizing area was given by Jim Miller of the Lane Council of Governments. Miller described how the plan began 10 to 15 years ago in conditions of agricultural land being yielded to urban land needs, new requirements for delivering services to population centers at reasonable prices, and growing conflicts over how available land was to be used. There is a major re-evaluation an<l photo by Scott Stuart "We in Oregon should be optimists," says updating of the plan currently going on, he Alcock. The afternoon session of the conference dealt entirely with the issue of land use, which was accorded a panel of six speakers and two "humanist" commentators. The first speaker of the afternoon, Maggie Collins, of the University of oregon Department of Urban and Regional Planning, discussed ''Citizen Involvement in an Expanding Environment.'' She spoke of the "drastic" social and functional adjustments that must be made to accommodate population growth and land use requirem~nts. · said. Though preparation of a new plan will begin in July of this year, he said it will take a year of information gathering to produce. He emphasized t~e importance of citizen involvement and mput through the Metropolitan Area Planning Advisory Committee. Joseph Meyers, Assistant Pr?fess?r of landscape architecture at the Umvers1ty of Oregon, spoke on !he_ importance_ of geological data gathermg m the determmation of land use. Sally Weston of the League of Wome~ Voters told of the activities of the "Observer Program" of the League, through which members become informed of governmental actions, and in turn, seek to inform the public of the pros. ~nd cons of issues that should be of public concern. One of the two "humanists" on the panel, Dr. Edwin Bingham, professor of history at the University of Oregon, said that there ought to be a way of open·ing up questions of transcendental values. The role of a humanist, Bingham said, is to attempt to define values that transcend practical, economic and statistical values values that go back to times of "nonaccumulated knowledge.'' He said there ought to be community participation in decisions on land use, that there ought to be a definition of the '' good life" for the community as well as for the individual, and that problems might _be reconciled by a "concensus, not unanimity' ' of the community. The other participant in a humanist role, Dr. M. George Zaninovich , professor of political science at the University of Oregon , stated that a humanist informs not through clarity of purpose, but through ambiguity and doubts. He expressed the feeling that mobility had a dehumanizing effect as it detracted from man's traditional relationship with the land. He also said that in a humanist's view, man is asserting too much control over nature. According to Paul Ackerman, coordinator of the grant from 'ae Oregon Commission for the Humauities, LCC is one of four Oregon community colleges which have agreed to be sites for habitat forums. The others are Treasure Valley, Portland, and Chemeketa community colleges. Says Ackerman , " Community colleges are most eager to do the forward-looking things, and they are by far the most flexible." By flexible, Ackerman explains they "tailor programs to needs" and have offered "the most complete cooperation." The entire conference was taperecorded, and according to Ackerman, the tapes will be given to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry to be "pro.grammed and indexed for researchers to use." Ackerman tied the local habitat conference to a United Nations Conference on Habitat to be held in Montreal May 31 to June 11. •'Persons participating in the LCC conference may be invited to participate in the U.N. conference, " he said. In any event. he indicated, the input and dialogue of the LCC conference would be useful to the U.

Thirtieth Avenue didn't exist, to say nothing of a freeway. He rarely ventured into Eugene, but when the family went into Springfield they followed the railroad tracks through Coryell Pass (north of what is now Bloomberg Road at Seavy Loop) and then into the little mill town. It -was small, but his own world was even smaller.

They listened as Rev. Haskell subdivided the old hills with a glance or a gesture. "We had to pull the milk cans from the . road to our place on ·a horse-drawn sled,'' he reminisced. "That was in the winter, but also in the spring ... since the mud would be hip deep ... horses were the only way to get around then. Trucks didn't have any pull out here in the winter." His family raised wheat and vetch, and had some • stock. He remembers some Saturday mornings when he'd be invited to the house of a neighbor for pancakes (made; from scratch, of course).

It could have been built and then burned to the ground well after the Haskell family left the area to move to Yoncalla. But, besides, he hadn't .ever wandered quite this far from his own farm. Walking home the group studied maps and aerial photographs of the area. It's all remarkably compact now--the green lines of forests and the red and pink of roads and towns. And the cars on Thirtieth interrupted the quiet.

Garger has had his classes meditate only a few times but reaction had been good. Occassionally he has the students meditate on a candle in a darkened room. When the brief meditation is over, most students report writing with a clearer mind and greater ease. Only one person complained that he felt it was out of place. Garger feels that the techniques he learned from Rich Price at Esalen and from massage teacher Pamela Mitchell are excellent for clearing the person of tensions and mental "chatter" accumulated during the day. The co~sequent result on the class work has shown 1t to be a fine tool for use in any class, he believes. According to jeweler Robin Knox, "Due to the lack of proper organization, the LCC crafts faire was a crock of s--t!" The advertising left something to be desired for the annual event. "Not even the craftsment knew about it," said Avi and Suki, two other jewelers. "You can't have any kind of crafts show when the craftsmen don't know about it. It's the excitement of having alot of folks around that makes a faire." :WANT°l~i:5:·----;;;:;·;;,:;;,;~·;--i LCC 3'3-7715 : : : 30th & Milz•r4 _.

May 12, 1 9 7 6 - - - - - - - - - c-r--_ / ______ v~m-------------- ~---- Page 11 Barnes back, wins a pair Titans team up by Don Sinclair ifs all for the kids I imagine you're reading this column to find out about the sports news at LCC. Well, I've got some bad news and I've got two good newses ... actually three good newses. First, the bad news. Bob Radcliff is re::;igning as Lane's Athletic Director after se,ving six years in that capacity. "It's time for a change," Radcliff pondered, "time to let somebody else try it.'' One might suspect political upheaval in the department, but Radcliff says the job just· consumed too much time. ''I've had to spend a lot of time away from home--this next week for example, I'll be at ·Linn-Benton on Monday, Thursday and Friday nights for OCCAA and Regional athletic directors meetings. My oldest boy and girl are in a church activity and they'd like to have me drive them but I can't. another boy will be iri the Cub Scout Fair and I can't help him because of the track meet here this weekend. The job (AD) takes a lot of extra time." The Athletic Director doesn't get paid any more money than an instructor who's been here the same amount of time. The only 'benefit' is 'release time,' which means that athletic directors, coaches, and special ·advisors carry only partial work loads during which they direct, coach, or advise. In the PE department, Radcliff carries four activities classes instead of the usual seven, just as the athletic coaches do. Health and PE Department Chairman Dick Newe11 said Radcliff's replacement will come from "within the department. We have no one retiring or quitting, and we cannot search elsewhere (to hire another person) because of the budget." Shall we hypothesize on who might (1) schedule athletic events, (2) create the budget for athletics (a fearsome job for any mortal these days) (3) attend a lot of meetings that take you away from your family, and (4) officiate LCC athletic events? Well, Dale Bates has been an AD for SWOCC, Dwayne Miller has been Sheldon High School's AD. Both the guys are pretty active -coaches in basketball and baseball, respectively, and frankly I don't know whether they'd go for this thankless job. Newell said he's just begun working on the selection process and how the choice will be made ... and, of course, he's accepting applications from the staff. "Radcliff's resignation becomes effective at the end of this term and we will have made our selection by May 28th. This'll allow for a two week transition period before Bob leaves office." Gary Barnes, the long legged sophomore from Eagle Point, eased back into winning form to lead the Titan Track and Field squad to their fifth straight OCCAA championship last Friday and Saturday here at LCC. / Barnes, who has only been whipped once this season, had taken last week off to relax an·irritated left knee. ".The 49.1 (in the 440) I ran wasn't too hot, but then there was really no competition. There hasn't been any in this conference this year." While his 440 time was a full second slower than his PR (personal record), along Bill Sharp puiled out a dramatic victory in the 3000 metre steeplechase to lead off Saturdays action . Trailing Gary Logsdon ' of Clackamas by the thickness of a jersey going over the last water jump, Sharp "slowed because we were both going for the same spot on the hurdle. That cut my stride just enough so that on the jump, I just barely got my toes onto the bar, and I had to just power my way straight up and over. ' ' When Sharp emerged from the water, he was nearly 10 yards behind with but 110 to go. He passed Logsdon 20 yards from the Gary Barnes, and the Titans, look toward the upcoming regional.and national track meets. tape and won with a 9:26.1 which qualifies him for the nationals. Bob Person won the 100 in ten flat, Shibley won the discus and the shot, Kenay Bell took the triple jump, Larry Goheen the long jump and Tom McDonnell cruised to the championship in the 880.

Bob Radcliff photo by Jeff Hayden The good news is that Radcliff will remai~ at LCC as an instructor teaching a full schedule of classes next fall. But just as important for LCC he will be here to pass on and AD experience he has accumulated. He will also be an instructor this summer in the LCC Youth Sports Program. The Youth Sports Program (YSP) is the second good news I promised. YSP is offered to kids between the ages of 9 and 15 and includes "extensive instruction in basketball, baseball, track and field, and weight training,'' according to the sign-up brochure. YSP is a four week program from 8:50 to 11 :40 every weekday morning except Friday beginning June 14 in which either boys or girls may participate. Skill level of the participant is not a factor. • The big difference that I c·a n the good news, is that ¥SP is NOT like the big name basketball camps or football camps put on by professional players. YSP is a total sports program in that each of the young p~ople must participate in all four training areas and others that are ''thrown in to break the monotony'' said Dick Newell, ''like raquetball, tennis or badminton. '' This is the type of program that brings the community college next to its community. This program develops the young_ athlete in positive ways that promotes the entire athlete and the appreciation of what it takes to become a skilled athlete. This allows the kids the opportunity to make up their minds early in life as to choices they might have for their futures. It is also a self-supporting program that costs the taxpayers nothing unless they enroll their children for the four week course. This is the third year for YSP, 46 youngsters were enrolled last year. The kids work in each sport each day for three hours total. The busses run during the summer so if you're got a kid or two that likes sports, and you could afford to spend a couple of bucks on them, or they could cut some lawns to pay for it, you might look into YSP at the Health and PE Office. The deadline is June 14th. Thirdly, the Titan Track Team has lots of guts ... and spirit. Congratulations guys on the conference win Younker yanks a big one Titans take two: LANE COMMUNITY Tom Younker rapped a dramatic seventh inning two run homer to give the Titans a 6-4 win and a sweep of the double header over Blue Mountain Tuesday afternoon on the LCC diamond. The win, coupled with the opening 3-0 effort for LCC, lifted them into second place, one full game ahead of Umpqua Community College who split with Blue Mountain Community College on Monday in Roseburg. Rick Brummette, who had pitched a perfect game earlier in the season, had early arm problems and hindered by Titan error, gave up three runs on three hits in one plus innings. Pete Twyman pitched six innings of great relief, allowing the Mountaineers but one run the rest of the way, and the Titan offense battled back. Down 3-0 going into the bottom of the second, they tied the game on three hits that inning. An unearned run in the fourth put them ahead 'til the fifth, when Blue Mountain knotted the score at four. With one out in the bottom of the seventh, Montgomery singled and Younker yanked a fast ball out of the park for a 6-4 win, second place, and a , very good shot at going to the regional playoffs. In the first game, it was steady Dave Gambino calculates some stats between games -after shutting out Blue Mountain photo by Don Sinclair fielding, Dave Gam.bino scattering nine in •the opener 3-0. hits, and Roger Plant stroking key RBI now, the Titans would have to get at second unless the Baptists can win their singles in two clutch situations that least a split with LBCC in order to tie for first game of the season. gave the Titans a 3-0 win.
