LCC's Academic Council recommended
at the Sept:8 Board of Education meeting
that "F" grades be returned to student
transcripts this year.
Dean of Student~ Jack Carter presented
the proposal to the Board; Board action will
be taken at its next meeting, scheduled for
Sept.22. The "F" has been absent from
transcripts for the past three years, Carter
said.
According to Carter, the Department of
Student Records has had to keep two sets
of transcripts for students--one which
includes the failing grade and another
public record which omits the failed
course. Reinstating the grade will
diminish the volume of paperwork, the
Dean said.
In other action, the Board unanimously
approved two resolutions, both concerning
the college's budget, for the Nov. 2
General Election ballot. Resolution No.
145 is back up for possible failure of the
Sept. 21 Budget Election.
Resolution No. 146 is a request for a 9.4
per cent raise in a tax base levy for
1977-78.
Dean of Business Operations Tony Birch
said, "We can live with this type of
increase." He pointed out that the
successful 1973-74 tax base election asked
for a similar increase (9.3 per cent).
The Board also directed that a committee
be established to investigate a children's
day care program for student/parents,
proposed by Board member Catherine
Lauris. Home Economics Department
head Judy Dresser will cha!r the committee. which will include faculty, staff and
student members. The committee's work
is to be concluded by the end of fall term
1976. The existing Child Care Center
operates primarily as a learning laboratory
for the Early Childhood Education Center.
with facilities for a maximum of 65
children.

After three months of negotiations
between the Associated Students of Lane
Community College (ASLCC) and the LCC
Board of Education, returning and new
students will no longer have to pay a
mandatory student body fee.
Until last Wednesday, full-time students
were required to pay a five dollar student
body fee. At its meeting Sept. 8, the
Board, crushing all ASLCC hopes of any
mandatory fees this year in a S to 2 vote,
accepted a college administration proposal:
That in order to have operating funds for
1976-77. the ASLCC will have to collect
voluntary fees this fall, and every term
thereafter.
The decision cuts the ASLCC 1975-76
budget in half.
The new plan will fund one half of the
secretarial services for the Senate offices
and pay the tuition scholarships of five
officers.
It will also allocate vending machine
revenues through the Office of Student
Activities for the expansion of cultural
programs.
ASLCC' s 1975-76 budget cash-carryover
is to be used as part of its operating budget
for 1976- 77. It also guarantees the
cash-carryover from the Special Progr::ms
and Activities Fund (SPAF) that was
dissolved last year.
When SPAF existed the mandatory fee
was in effect, and the committee distributed the collected funds to the TORCH,
Health Services, Athletics, and the
ASLCC. according to the budgetary
requests from each.
Last spring all of the organizations'
budgets, with the exception of the ASLCC,
were absorbed into the college general
fund and will receive financial support
from tuition.
The ASLCC hoped to continue collecting
a mandatory fee when it presented its
budget to the Board last Spring Term.
At its July 21 meeting the Board
indicated it would not support a mandatory

Ken Pelikan
fee, and it has maintained that position
throughout the summer. Board member
Steven Reid stated at the meeting, "I will
not support mandatory fees for funding of
the ASLCC."
Board member Catherine Lauris feels
that' the voluntary fee will inspire autonomy and stated at that same meeting,
"You are all adults. Students should make
their own decisions. The Board would like
to stay out of it as much as possible."
Senate representatives responded with
concern that student services such as legal
aid and a proposed future child-care
program, that had been or was hoped to be
funded with mandatory fees, would hf!
dropped. Richard Weber, ASLCC Senator
said. "Services will fall by the wayside."
ASLCC Treasurer Stormy Diven and
Senator Judy Weller told Board members
that a transition period was needed from
mandatory to voluntary funding. Diven
said. "I do not understand how a
student carrying 14 to 18 hours can go and
find funding. We need a transition
period.''
Activities Director Robert McMaster
added, "Without funding we can't do
anything.••

'Energy Saving Constructio nStarts

A large hole being dug between the
Electronics and the Mechanics buildings is
the first of three projects to cut LCC's
1electric bill by $107,000. The other two are
•monitoring._ energy use by computer and
:using wasted energy from the air condi:tioning unit.
The TORCH interviewed the chief
electrician. Darryl Allen. on location.
When asked what the workmen were
doing. Allen replied, "Digging a hole,"
then continued to explain that two tanks 65
feet long. 13 feet high. 12½ feet wide, and
,,·L·ighing 50 I /2 tons and holding 100,000
gallons of water were to be put in the hole
to store surplus hot water heated up during
the night by the boiler. The hot water
would then be used to heat the buildings
during the day when power consumption is
high. so that the boiler can be turned
down.

Jim Martin
The next contact between the Board and
the ASLCC came in an informal workshop
held on Sept. 1.
Bob Ackerman, a Eugene lawyer and
former Board member, representing the
ASLCC, told the Board, "Student government feels the matter of funding has been
delayed too long.''
Board Chairperson Jim Martin replied
that this was not the case and that in
December or January, "Student government was advised of the funding situation."
Ackerman stated that after the dissolution of SPAF, no support for student
government, or for an alternative fee
system. came from the administration.
"There was nothing in its place," he said.
Martin said that the ASLCC had all of
last spring to develop a new formula for
funding, although the administration could
have stepped forward and been more
supportive.
As he had stated at the formal Board
meeting on July 21, Board member Steven
Reid said, "We are not going to have a
mandatory fee. Studeut government has
failed to recognize this and the message is
loud and clear."
Board members urged autonomy for the
ASLCC as it had at the July 21 meeting.
"We want to support and recognize you as
equals,'' Martin said.
Lauris feels that voluntary fees are one
way of providing_ the incentive for a more
autonomous student government. Addressing ASLCC representatives at the meeting she said, "In real life you have to go
out and get funds ... going from mandatory
to voluntary funding might be good for
you.''

Stewart Gets Recommendation

Board to Act on Hirin

Anne Stewart: Reoommended to the Hoar
for the same position.
Last year's Women's Program Coordinator, Anne Stewart, has been recommended to the LCC Board of Education
for the same position in 1976-77.
The position, a center of controversy last
year, includes the directorship of the
Women's Awareness Center, 221B in the
Center Building, and supervision of
Women's Studies.
Four applicants for the position were
interviewed, first by a screening committee
and then by a selection committee. The
application was restricted to persons
already employed by the college.
Board members will be · asked to take
formal action on the recommendation at
their next meeting, September 22.

Vets Get More Benefits
State Pays The Bills
Oregon veterans attending school this
fall may be entitled to State veterans'
educational aid benefits to help pay the
cost of their tuition, the Department of
Veterans' Affairs said today.
H. C. Saalfeld, Veterans' Affairs director, said the State benefit pays $50 for each
month of full-time undergraduate studies,
and up to $35 a month for other studies,
based on one month's entitlement for each
month of military service to a maximum of
36 months.
Entitled are veterans of the Korean
conflict, the veterans of service after
July 1. 1958, who received the Armed
Forces Expeditionary Medal or the Vietnam Service medal for service in overseas
trouble spots and combat areas.
They must have been Oregon residents
for one year immediately prior to their
service, and they must be Oregon residents
when they apply for the benefit. There is
no application deadline.
Saalfeld said State aid is not available for
courses for which the veteran is receiving
federal GI training benefits.
Application may be filed with the school
registrar or veterans' counselor, through a
county service officer. or with the
Department of Veterans' Affairs in Salem.

Voluntary Fees to Begin Fall Term ---- DEQ Regulates

will use $750 for a telephone. The college
Ackerman then asked if the Board would
cooperate in a voluntary fee proposal.
"Let's get a voluntary fee, .. he said, "but
student government needs help."
Martin agreed and said, "This is an
excellent opportunity to make a new
proposal. ''
ASLCC President Ken Pelikan went back
to the drawing board with the Senate and
drew up a new proposal to be placed on the
September 8 Board meeting agenda.
The proposal asked for a 20,000
operating budget from the Board for fall
term and that all voluntary fees collected
by the ASLCC would be used to reimburse
the college. Further funding would be
worked out with the Board on a term to
term basis.
The ASLCC proposal was not even
considered.
Dean of Students Jack Carter and
Director of Student Activities Jay Jones
presented the accepted college administration proposal at the meeting. It was not
placed on the agenda, but was voted on
and passed by a S to 2 vote.
Jim Martin was one of the dissenting
votes. He objected strongly to the
procedure and said that Board members
had not followed their own policy.
Board policy states that all input must be
considered before taking any action and
that any information placed on the agenda
must be evaluated.
Lauris, who move that the vote be taken,
said, "My motion is a way of phasing in or
phasing out (student government) however
you look at it.''
Martin objected, saying, "Student government is a viable part of the college ...
you are going to wipe it out. These guys
(student government) are getting the short
end of the stick. Other programs are viable
... you give these guys a few bucks and
send them down the road."
Three months of struggling were over.
Pelikan said on Thrusday, "I felt
politically raped for awhile, battered for
·a while, and weary for awhile. Our
(ASLCC) intention is to do good social work
. . . all of a sudden we 're being completely
undermined from the inside and · the
outside."
He feels that the indirect result of the
Board's action is a gradual phasing out of
student government. "It isn't the Board's
intention" he said, "but that is the result
from the majority of the members."
In his eyes, the Administration and the
Board have completely disregarded the
needs of the ASLCC.
"I can accept that Ken (Pelikan) feels
that way," Jack Carter, Dean of Students,
said Thursday, "(but) it was clear that the
Board had indicated that it was not going to
assess a mandatory fee. Until the formal
action (by the Board on Wednesday) the
ASLCC still pursued avenues for mandatory fees.''
Richard Weber, Senator representing
Evening Program Advisory Committee
(EPAC), agreed with Carter's evaluations
and added, "The (ASLCC) proposal was
absurd. The Administration's proposal is
pretty sound." He added that the ASLCC
proposal asked for far more money than
was required for an operating budget for
fall term. "The proposal sets aside $750
for phone calls. I don't know anybody who

President does more communicating and I

Carter said that the Administration
proposal was presented instead of the
ASLCC's because it was more in line with
"Input for a
the Board's desires.
guaranteed funding level was rejected,"
he said.
Every Board member, he felt, had their
own reasons for not supporting the
mandatory fee, and there are programs on
campus. such as Health Services and
Athletics that deserve college general
funding in order to be "stabilized."
•·A distinction can be made with these
programs (from the ASLCC)." he said.
"and students should have the option of
supporting (student government) with
their fees.''
Although he's never had experience
working with a voluntary fee program,
Carter thinks that LCC's will be a success .
"I think with a good try it has potential,"
he said, "I have talked to some students
.. .(there is) a great deal of enthusiasm."
Evening Program Advisory Committee
(EPAC) representatives, with the help of
former TORCH Advertising Manager
Kevin Murtha, have drawn up a proposed
voluntary fee program that will provide
discounts for campus events and products
from local merchants.
The student body card will be called a
"Student Services Ticket (SST)," and will
sell for two dollars at registration, if the
Senate accepts the proposal.
The fees collected from the sale of the
SST will be used to expand present student
services on campus and will provide the
funding for future programs.
EPAC will meet at 7:00 p.m. Monday in
the Adult Education building to discuss the
proposal and prepare it for presentation to
the Senate.
- According to Robert McMaster. ASLCC
Activities Director, the Senate is expected
to ratify the voluntary fee program at its
next meeting, Sept. 15.

Oregon Indians
N~t Privileged
Members of Indian tribes in southwestern Oregon who violate state fish and
wildlife laws will be treated the same as
other Oregon citizens, according to State
Fish and Wildlife Director John Donaldson.
Coos. Siuslaw. Lower Umpqua, and
Upper Umpqua Indians announced earlier
this week that they would abide by a set of
regulations drawn up by the tribes, not the
Oregon Fish and -Wildlife regulations.
• 'The state doesn't recognize any
superior hunting or fishing rights for these
tribes." Donaldson said, "and members
found in violation of the laws will be cited
and prosecuted the same as any other
citizen."

The Oregon Environmental Quality
Commission has formally approved a plan
for allocating this summer's 195,000 acres
of open field burning. The plan includes a
provision that will give growers credit for
next year's burning permits on the basis of
any acres they burn this summer with
experimental machines. Details remain to
be worked out concerning the allocation
based on the use of the machines.
Nearly 800 grass-seed growers have
registered to burn this year. Under the
plan approved by the EQC, each grower
would be issued permits to burn 100 acres.plus 65% of the balance of acres already
registered. For example, a ·grnwer
registering 500 acres would be allowed
permits for 100 acres plus 65% of the
remaining 400 acres, for a total of 360
acres.
The Commission also approved the •'big
burn" plan. That plan involves burning
7,000 acres of grass-seed fields in two or
three wide area burns, as an experiment in
smoke management. The Commission
approved the idea following the endorsement of the plan by the Oregon Field
Sanitation Committee. The theory behind
the experiment is by burning ~o many
acres at once, enough heat will be
generated to lift the smoke much higher
than a normal field fire, under ideal
weather conditions.
The Oregon Seed c;ouncil will assist in
picking the locations for , the •'big burn''
acreages. Circles of grass-seed fields
two-and-a-half to three miles across are
needed.
Up to 7,000 acres have been allocated to
the "big burn" program. That amount will
be subtracted from the 195,000 acres to be
burned. Growers objected, telling Commission members the •'big burn'' acres
should be above the t 95.000 allocation.
Bill Rose. Chairman of the Oregon Field
Sanitation Committee, said the "big burn"
is an experiment and that it should be
possible to conduct it as such without
charging the burned acres to the year's
acreage limit.
The final plan approved by the Commission was a modified version of a plan
submitted by Governor Bob Straub.
Straub's plan would have set the "big
burn" acreage at J0.000. The governor
said the plan offers the seed-growing
industry •'more flexability while maintaining an absolute legal limit on the total
ni.mber of acres that can be burned off."
Straub reiterated his intent to "cooperate
in every way I can to assure the survival ot
the grass·seed industry in Oregon ... but
not as a polluting industry."
This year is the second in a four-year
phase down adopted by the 1975 Legislature. Next year the maximum drops from
195.000 acres to 95,000 acres. Thereafter,
according to present law. open field
burning will be allowed for a maximum of
50.000 acres.

To Hel~ Students

Instructor Writes Guide

Darrell Beck, LCC Mass Communication
instructor, has written a "Basic Writing
Guide" for students here at Lane.
Beck told the TORCH that the Needs
Assessment Survey held last school year
showed that poor writing skills were a
major student problem. Over the last
twelve years there has been a rapidly
increasing decline in student writing skills
according to the Scholastic Aptitude Tests
used for entrance into colleges across the
country.
The guide. according to Beck. was the
result of a three member study and
recommendation committee of which he is
.a part of. Cherry Ta:vlor of the Language
Arts Department and Dr. Climon Nelson of
the Paradental/Param edical Department
were the other two members.
Bed stated that the guide took "abo~t

a month .. to write and is intended to be a
quick reference manual for the majority of
students who do not have major writing
problems. The preface of the guide states
that students with severe writing problems·
should consult the Counselling Dcpartmrnt. Study Skills, or Language Arts.
Beck adds that the guide's purpose is not
to take the place of existing writing
textbooks. He adds, starting this week the
u~c of the guide will be explained to
instructors so they will use it to help
... 1udents with their writing.
Students will be able to obtain copies of
the guide in the Bookstore at a later date.
Copies for instructors will be available
through their respective departments. The
cost of the ··Basic Writing Guide" ha~ not
been diM:losed yet pending cost evaluation
bv the Bookstore.

(jee, oao, can I so~~ow the keys to the cypewQ1te~
by Michael Riley
Reprinted from May 19, 1976
"I was tired of the singles clubs," Vicki told me, "in all the
clubs I was in, the people just sat around and talked."
Vicki was my date Friday night: We were introduced
through a new social introduction service here in Eugene
called the High Times Dating Service. High Times is not a
matrimony service, it is merely an organization that
introduces people to others who have like interests.
I should start at the beginning. I joined the dating service
out of curiousity; having never gone through one, I felt that it
would make a helluva good story for the TORCH. The editor
agreed with me, after he stopped laughing.
Gen~rally .. the staff also agreed--they returned- my
enthusiasm with a lot of raised eyebrows and a comment of
"Gee, we didn't know you were that lonely."
High Times does not use a computer, nor does the staff
selec~ your date. When I signed up for the service they took
my picture. I answered six questions on the subject of the
kinds of dates I like to go on. I evaluated my own personality.
These responses were put on what the receptionist, Ann,
called the "public file."
The public file is the resource the service uses for the
selection of a date. A client comes in, looks at the public file
of the opposite sex and makes a selection. The client has a
photograph and the answers to the six previously mentioned
questions to help in the selection.
If you're a man the selection is narrow. High Times has (at
this writing) eight women to choose from. If you're a woman
the choice is larger; there are 37 men, one of which is me.
Ann also explained to me that the service keeps a confidential
file that has my address. a:1y special preferences, and my
telephone number.
If you ask for a date the charge is $10, but if you accept a
date through the service the charge is $5.
Here's how it worked for me. I joined-High Times on a
Tuesday. The same day I selected the credentials of a woman
whom 1, felt I would like to take out. In my opinion six
questions and a polaroid photograph are not enough to select
a date. Anyway, I gave the service her number (no names are
used, only numbers) and she was contacted. She then Iookej
at my public file and my photograph.
Apparently she was busy or my charisma was too much for
her because I was turned down on the first try. The service
called me back for a second try and I picked Vicki. She was
called. she came down and examined my "file" the same way
I had looked at hers, and she accepted. The date was set for
Friday.
By the time Friday came around I had been the butt of a lot
of odd comments and some interesting suggestions. My
friends felt that I was going to use some unsuspecting woman
to satisfy my journalistic ambitions. One even went so far to
classify me as a "weirdo" for trying out the dating service.
I began to wonder about other people who were shy and
wanted to meet people with their own interests. The manager
of High Times, Dino, explained to me that ''The people that
we get in that some people may consider weirdos are not
really weirdos. They're people who are shy and introverted."
He added that High Times merely presents the information
for introduction.
Friday night came faster than my hot comb could dry my
h~ir. I was to meet Vicki at the High Tinies office at 7 p.m.
Nervous for the sake of the story and with meeting someone
for the first time, I managed to put my turtleneck sweater on

inside-out twice. Once I was straightened out I charged off to
High Times.
Earlier that afternoon a very close friend told me that she
"didn't want to be in that woman's place." I was curious as
to wh~t she meant by that remark so I asked her to explain.
My friend was concerned that my date (Vicki, whose name I
learned only minutes before meeting her) would feel "used"
when I told her that I writing a story on my experience with
the dating service. But as it turned out, High Times felt an
obligation to inform Vicki in advance -- it explained that I was
writing a story about the dating service.
The moment of truth arrived, an hour late, at the office.
Vicki had been coaching a girls softball team and felt it would
wise to clean up. Charlie, an employee of the service,
tntroduced us, and while walking out to the car I asked Vicki
if she liked Chinese food. She informed me that "everyone
asks me that.'' She wasn't too wild about it, but for lack of a
better idea we went to Leslie's.
•
While I munched on my egg roll, Vicki told me about
herself, why she joined High Times, and how the child on the
front of Leslie's restaurant menu is also riamed Vicki.
It seems Vicki and her parents frequented Leslie's and that's
how she learned the child's name.
Vicki joined the dating service to meet people. That's what
she enjoys do~ng and that's what the service, a chance
to meet people.
We talked about the restaurant's interior and about
hand-gliding, a sport that she said she was proficient in.
We discussed the dating service and I showed her how to use
cho~sticks. I also told her of my curiosity about the dating
service and how people will stereotype others if they use such
a service.
The process leading up to this evening had been
interesting, the date itself was unique because both of us had
never met before. Through the course of the evening I had the
impression that she had forgotten my name.
The evening didn't last very long; Vicki had to return home
to relieve the babysitter at ten. After dropping her off at
home (I didn't walk her to the door because the night had felt
more like a business engagement than a date) I raced back
home in time to catch "Mary Hartman. Mary Hartman." the
end to a go0d evening. The best part of the whole thing was
Monday morning when I was asked. "How was your date

Fewer than 10 companies produce the
majority of Oregon eggs and only four
chicken farms produce all broiler chickens
raised in Oregon, according to a report on
agribusiness released today by the Oregon
Student Public Interest Research Group
(OSPIRG). According to the study, these
and other examples demonstrate that
Oregon reflects the growing national trend
towards concentration in farming.
The study shows that large farms are on
the increase, while the total number of
farms is decreasing, and that production of
certain agricultural products in increasingly controlled by relatively few producers.
•
Increased corporate farming has
centered mostly in Oregon's mid-Columbia
basin, around Boardman, but the report
also documents corporate activity in other
areas of the state.
The report called for a stronger
corporation reporting law to make information about corporate activity in Oregon
agriculture more accessible.
According to author John Markoff, the
study set out to identify and define the
activities of those corporate farms which
would be banned under the proposed
Initiative to Ban Corporate Farming, which
may be on the November ballot. The
report identified most of the corporations
that would be in violation of the Initiative.
''The Oregon public is clearly interested in
getting factual information on the extent of
corporate farming in Oregon," according
to OSPIRG staffer Roger Auerbach. ''This
report is the first attempt to supply the
public with this information."
In researching the report, Markoff said,
it was difficult to find complete, up-to-date
information about corporate activities in
agriculture. '' A corporate reporting law
similar to those enacted in other states
would help the public get a clearer picture
of the extent of corporate control of Oregon
agriculture,•· Markoff said.
Markoff is a graduate student at the
University of Oregon.

whole billing period, LCC is charged for
that peak during that period. In other
words electricity must be provided for
peaks at all times to provide for the peaks
whenever they may occur.
A ,mall computer will be installed to

make quick decisions on heating and air
flow to help lower the peak even futher.
The final project to save money and
energy will be to use the extra heat that is
sucked out of rooms. Tony Birch. the
college's Dean of Business Operations,
explained that each building is divided into
zones and some of these zones produce

heat rather than require to be heated.
Therefore, they must be cooled down by
what is known as the "chiller" which,
according to Tony Birch. is now overloaded. Birch also commented that the
amount of heat that is blown into the air by
the chiller is enough to heat the whole
Center Building.

When asked who had started the ideas
Birch said, "I guess you could call me the
godfather of it clll," He had read about
other colleges such as the University of
California at Berkeley which saves
$125.000 a month with the mini-computer,
and-Harvard, which saves $2.5 million also
with storm windows and a computer.

Health Insurance Offered; Benefits Im prove

Insurance Improved

0
~

One of the special services that Lane
Community College offers its students is
the opportunity to purchase student group
insurance. For the coverage that this
insurance (United Pacific Life Insurance
Company) offers, the rates are low. This
year two facets of the program have
changed:
l) There is increased medical and
hospital coverage with no increase in the
rates for these added benefits.
2) A very small maternity benefit has
been added (to fulfill federal regulations)
which increases the cost of the insurance
by seventy-five (75) cents per term. All
students will have to pay this.
Students may purchase the insurance
trorn the financial ::>erv1ces Office at the
time they pay tuition or anytime during the
first four weeks of the term.
Dependency coverage may be obtained
for an additions) premium amount.
Purchase of three-term coverage at the
beginning of fall term provides for four
terms. The following summer term
insurance would be at no cost to the
student. This insurance has twenty-four
(24) hour coverage.
All information, claim forms, ID cards,
and liaison with the company and its

Activities Office. If you wish to know more
• about the program or need assistance in
any way, see Jay Jones or Evelyn Tennis in
that area.

LCC Student
Wins Scholarship
Ms. Patricia Heide, 31, of Eugene has
been awarded the Oregon Lung Association' s 1976- 77 training scholarship for
respiratory therapy.
The scholarship, which is given each
year to a second year student in Lane
Community College's respiratory therapy
program, will enable Ms. Heide to
complete her final year of training. Most of
the final year of training takes place at
Sacred Hc;art General Hospital in Eugene
where on the job clinical experience is
acquired.
Respiratory therapists are specialists in
using the technical equipment needed for
the care of patients with deficiencies and
abnormalities associated with respiration.

A career as a pilot is not an easy. or a
cheap one to get off the ground. Yet about
SO students each term spend from 12 to 20
hours a week at the Lane Community
College Flight Technology facility at
Mahlon Sweet Airport, in addition to class
time on the college campus, and about
$600 to work for that goal.
Despite the job's glamorous reputation,
a pilot's training demands hard work, long
hours, high costs, and low benefits until
hours of further training past graduation
have been completed.
Students pay about $3,500 for a two-year
program to earn their associate of science
degree in aerospace. plus the Federal
Aviation Administrati on commercial license, instrument rating, and instructor
rating. And that price is a bargain as flight
training goes.
But upon completion of the LCC course,
a graduate can't head off to United Airlines
for a high paying. exciting job. He or she
{four women arc participating in the flight
tech program at present. with one female
flight ll1:-.tructor on the !:>IX pcr.,on staff),
must build up further licenses and hours

of flying time in other jobs before the
airlines will even consider them for
positions.
Terry Hagberg, LCC Chief Flight
Instructor, says most graduates start in
flight instructor positions at small airports
or in military operations.
Female flight instructor Jennie Cohn
graduated at the top of her class last year
and is employed as a teacher this year for
LCC. Hagberg says that LCC tries to hire
its top graduate every year for up to a
one-year flight instructor position.
The 22-year-old pilot was the youngest
female instructor in the state when she was
first licensed. And she is one of the many
fledgling pilots paying their dues. building
their flight time, hoping eventually to fly
for the airlines or a corporation.
She has accumulated over 1.000 hours
since her school days. ''I worked in Salem
and Cottage Grove at airports," she says in
explaining how she has increased her air
hours.
"I really enjoy it." she adds. "You have
to. There isn't a lot of money at first.''
Miss Cohn says she hasn't had any

problems even though most of her students
ar~ men. "When you are the instructor
you are in a unique position. You know
how to fly, they don't. So they have no
choice but to trust you."
And given the LCC flight tech safety
record, stu 1ents do well to trust their
instructors. Hagberg says that in the
nearly nine years the program has been in
operation there have been no aviation
accidents.
Uighteen training aircraft are rented
from the two local flying services--McKenzie Flying Service and Eugene Flight
Service. And the private companies
service the airplanes.
In addition to the rental planes. LCC
owns three--two Piper Arrows and a
Cessna 310--purchased with monies accumulated from student use fees.
A student starts the two-year program in
a Cessna 1SO to earn about 40 hours of
flying time and the FAA private license.
The next step is to the single-engin e
Cherokee 140. Another 120 hours are
required for a commercial license. The
program makes use of a Piper Arrow for

instrument training over another 30 hours.
At graduation most students have about
250 hours total flying time. Hagberg says.
He adds that two to three thousand
hours are needed to work in most charter or
airline jobs.
Finding jobs right after graduation is
becoming easier for LCC graduates,
however. "We are starting to get requests
from small airports for instructors, "
Hagberg says. ''The word is out in the
industry that we're sending out quality
people.··
Associate Dean of Instruction Jim Piercey, administrator of the flight program,
calls it "one of the fine~t flight programs in
the Northwest and possibly west of the
Mississippi."
He says the instructors have developed
their own curriculum, under financing from
a state grant. and that it's good enough
that other community colleges are expected to adopt it.
Hagberg shares Piercey's enthusiasm.
• 'The students seem pleased with the
program. It is one of the few places a
person can earn a degree and FAA
certification at the same time."

Pass The Juiubees, Godzilla's Baclc Againl

Jijaga Joins the Tearn

by Michael Riley
A box of JuJuBees. a large coke, and a
front row seat while watching "Godzilla vs.
Megaton·• threw me back into my
childhood last week.
As a child I was part of the pre-puberty
Saturday matinee set. We loved science
fiction movies and we'd run to the
neighborhood theatre at the mere hint of a
monster movie.
Those days died however; matinees
became '"kid stuff" and the magic of
monsters was gone. Almost.
"Godzilla vs. Megaton" rekindled the
little boy in me. Maybe it was the ads for
the film. or the weather. Perhaps I never
really grew up. Whatever it was. I went
and I wasn't disappointed.
Fitting the mold of most Japanese-made
science fictions this one has two guest
monsters and a subsurface world named
Seatopia. The plot is simple; Seatopia
went underground three million years ago
and until recently the inhabitants were
content with the way things were going on
the _surface. But then. excessive nuclear
testmg by the world powers upset the
leaders of the underground city and they
protested by sending a giant creature.
Megaton. to destroy the earth. Megaton
starts with Tokyo and one h?ur later the
monster wants to destroy agam.
The hero_o! t~e film. Godzilla. d~s not
\. appear untll tt ts hall over. For me tt was

worth the wait.
His style has improved over the years
and for a prehistoric monster of his age, he
was as spry as ever. From the last time I
saw him on "Creature Feature,. back in
1964. it looked as though he had learned a
form of self-defense. (I made this judge_ment from his fighting stance.)
There's plenty of fighting. One of the
guest monsters is a robot name Jijaga.
The robot grows from near human size to
the saine size as the other monsters and tts
inventor tells a friend that, "Jijaga must
have felt it was necessary to grow, so he
did.•· As long as you ignore the dialogue
the film is easy to understand. Jijaga and
Godzilla represent the "Good Guys."
The .. Bad Guys" are Megaton. whom I
mentioned earlier. and a sword-armed
monster named Giganta. .W ith four
monsters and next-to-unpronouncable
names the film almost needs a program to
tell the players apart. But for the majority
of us who are still kids with memories of
those rainy Saturday afternoons we still
have Godzilla with a new thrilla.
Unfortunately. this new .. thrilla" is no
longer playing in the Eugene area. Hopefully one of the outlying drive-ins will bring
it or some other old monster film back to
wake the dormant child in me. For that
matter rn have to say that the little kid in
all of us should be let out to play once in a
