Foreign students invite Americans to dine by Stephen Spriggs The LCC International Club will hold its Fall Term pot luck Saturday, Nov. 6, in the LCC Cafeteria at 6:30 p.m. All LCC students and their families are welcome. Everyone is asked to bring a favorite dish of their native country. Club members will perform and wear native dress, according to Irene Parent, club advisor and coordinator of foreign student activities. The International Club is composed of about 60 students from foreign countries who have come to the United States to attend LCC. American students are also invited to join the club. Parent told the TORCH, '' Foreign students value the friendship of American students very highly." Club officers chosen for fall term are, President Vincent Ilonzeh, Vice-President Behnam Rowshan, and SecretaryTreasurer Sima Rafati. Change will 'substantially save money' Five KLCC staffers lose iobs by Kathleen Monje Five KLCC staff members will lose their jobs at the end of this year, as a result of a Friday, Oct. 29, administrative decision made that will "substantially save money" according to Mass Communication Acting Department Head Mike Hopkinson. Two full-time employees, Program Director Roger Wood and Music Director Michael Canning, will be replaced. Three part-time employees who have been sharing the duties of Public Affairs Director, Jan Weaver, Barbara Stern and Cal Turlock, will also be terminated. These three positions, in addition to the presently unfilled job of station manager, will be opened for application Nov. 1. A major qualification for the positions will be the baccalaureate degree that is the department's miminum qualification for teaching. Each person hired to fill the openings will be expected to teach no more than three courses in an academic year, according to Hopkinson. The five staff members are losing their jobs becauses of this new requirement. With this new specification for the KLCC staff -- "people who can teach in one or more areas of the department besides doing their radio job" -- the number of part-time instructors hired to teach in the department every term can be cut, said Hopkinson. KLCC staff members could teach five courses each term -- thus, the substantial saving. Linda Wilt, the present development director at KLCC, meets the new qualifilcations regarding teaching and has indicated that she will remain on the staff. But Wilt and other KLCC staff members declined to comment to the TORCH until after a station staff meeting scheduled for this Thursday. However, minutes from a Tuesday Mass Communication Dept. meet.ing included a written statement made by Wilt. The TORCH also contacted Roger Wood, KLCC program director, Tom Lichty, former KLCC program director and broadcasting instructor (currently on leave from the college,) Associate Dean of Instruction J~_yce Hopps, and Hopkinson. • Wilt said in her letter to the department that she did not request changes in the decision that had been made, but she said she felt that, once again, a decision had been made using the traditional decisionmaking model "i.e. the decisions are made at the top and passed down to the people below.'' She felt that had the staff been consulted, those people without degrees would have understood that it was in the best interests of the station to hire people with degrees. She added that it seemed to her· ''inharmonious with the teaching of this institution and to the very nature of the vocational/technical program to let people go or to fire them because they do not have a colleg<- degree." She also stated, "'I feel that the real problem or issue is one which we have not addressed ... it is whether we are an instructional, educational tool or whether we are something that serves the college in a much broader fashion. It Photo by J. Hayden seems to me that we have attempted to camouflage the real issue by replacing staff with people who will be required to teach o.ne class per term, to look like a FfE-generating facility.'' •Virginia DcChame, broadcasting and speech instructor, replied to Wilt's statement, saying "Linda is, in my mind, in error in one insta~ce, because at a meeting last year, to discuss this, the entire KLCC staff was invited and they made statements ... their input was received, and we did change our minds at the time because of _ their input." •Hopktnson told the TORCH that when the college faces budget elections, the Office of Instruction asks each department where it can make cuts, but also says "don't cut anything that generates FfE." (FfE means Full Time Equivalent students for which the college is paid by the cont. on page 6 Campus police ticket illegal parking by Michael Riley -student finds a ticket on his - -.. An car for being parked In a handicapped parking zone. Another student reports her purse stolen. An Instructor can't start his car after leaving his headlights on all day. •PARKING TICKETS issued on campus have a significant result on the student status of those not paying for them. According to Paul Chase, LCC security officer, students who fail to pay fines will not have a registration packet available to them for the next term. He added that there have been exceptions: Some students who have parked in the handicapped parking spaces qualify as handicapped persons but were unaware of the procedure to obtain a specially assigned parking space. Forms are available through the Security Office for ' such permits. •THEFf has always been a problem on campus. Chase has organized work- study personnel into what he tee calls a "theft-vandalism foot patrol." This patrol aids in preventing what Chase refers to as '' opportunity thefts '' thefts caused because the victim has created an opportunity for an easily committed crime. This. includes bookbags left on tables unattended while the owner is off purchasing lunch in the cafeteria line. Some mislaid articles are found by honest people, says Chase. These end upin the lost and found section in Security. Too often, though, the article is"snagged" by someone else and the victim files a mislaid-stolen article report with Security. These reports on stolen articles are also filed with the various law enforcement offices in the area (Oregon State Police, Springfield Police, Eugene Police, and the Lane County Sheriff). •A STUDENT MOTORIST ASSIST gives assistance to staff and students in starting cars, changing tires, and helping students enter their cars when the keys are are locked inside. Chase emphasized that vehicle and driver identification are checked when a Security officer is asked to enter a locked vehicle. •EMERGENCY SITUATIONS are important to Security. Chase gave an example that occured recently when Security had to find the mother of a c:hild who was reported in.i ured. ·starting with .-th~ - wo~an's -name, a description was obtained from a source in the cafeteria and it was learned that the woman was· leaving the campus area.

Bu_t Chase . is pleased with the way the patrols handled that particular incident. Through a grid search they were able to determine that the woman probably was off campus before the search was fullv underway. p~..:.~ •••••• ,. ••••• ,. • •• •••• • •••• wt.. • •• • .. • • • •• •• • • • • • •• • •• • • • •• • iii ::· -,. ..... . ........................ ·: TORCH"........ .. r t~ ' t '. . !

Whittle says she likes the class. "Kate is articulate and intelligent . . . she has a social conscience that is able to have an overview of society as it is," she says. In this course the students study women's issues in depth and practice communica• tion skills. Barry says the options are very open and individualized in both classes. They need to be because ''there is a real mixture of people. I really enjoy the fact that there is a mixture of people with different kinds of life experiences and backgrounds.

Women's Program Coordinator Anne Stewart is happy to have Barry in the program. "I'm really glad to see that Lane had made a commitment to the program by committing resources to have both a Women's Program Coordinator and a Women's Studies Instructor," says Stewart. Barry is also excited about the position. She became interested in women's studies after "getting involved in the women's movement and getting an awareness of herself as a woman and what that meant. I felt that my academic life should be a reflection of those concerns I felt personally." So now she is teaching two courses in Women's Studies for Lane. One is a general lecture course about women. In this course she tries ''to provide an analysis and framework for students to understand the position of women in society.'' Of her 45 students, 6 are men. She hopes more men will sign up for the classes next quarter because ''by learning about women they learn about themselves as men." The other course is a seminar and has a more open format.

The concentrated six-week long classes will run through Dec. 10 and include studies in Business, Electronics, Home Economics, Language Arts, Mass Communication, Mathematics, Mechanics, Science and Social Science. These are taught in either lecture-discussion style or open-entry/ open-exit. In open-entry/ open-exit classes students learn at their own pace and leave the classes when they've learned as much as they wished or earned the credits they wanted. In most of the mid-term classes space is limited and, according to Bob Marshall of the Student Records office, students who wish to enter any of the courses now are advised to contact the course instructor before attempting to register. A listing of the courses offered is available in both the Admissions and the Counseling offices. by John Brooks The Student Resource Center (SRC) is _ barely surviving on $200 a term this year, says SRC Director June Bichler. The $200 provides the office supplies with which 15 work-study students , including Bichler, provide services to students locating living accomodations, helping students with children find babysitters, organizing carpools, and referring students to places where they can get help for their problems, Bichler explained. But after this year the director doesn't know what the SRC's future will include. Funding for the SRC comes from the student government, the Associated Students of Lane Community College (ASLCC). Since the LCC Board cut off mandatory fees this year that had funded the ASLCC, the government and the SRC are both in a "financial crisis," Bichler said. When ASLCC's funds, and in turn SRC's funds, were cut the ASLCC could no longer ·pay an attorney for Legal Aid, said former ASLCC secretary Connie Hood. She added that Legal Aid is "sorely needed'_' and she is presently helping the ASLCC to raise funds for an attorney for winter term. When the SRC started in 1971, it at first provided legal referral, according to Hood. The SRC later contracted a student attorney for Legal Aid but only after some controversy, said Jaye Bolton who was the ASLCC president at that time. Those against hiring an attorney, he explained, argued that the county already offered an attorney at reasonable rates. The SRC has had·an attorney ever since then, until the recent budget cut. The SRC started originally as the Student Awareness Center and offered many of the services it offers now, including selling bus tokens at a discount, sponsoring a child care service, and cooperating with the U of O in a program called Ride Stop to help those students who hitchhiked to school, according to Bolton. Students were also concerned about the draft then and the SRC offered information about military induction, said Hood. The SRC had had two locations, Hood added. The first was where the present ASLCC is located and now it is located just outside the door from Financial Aid. Voters polled to assess student needs While voting for new ASLCC representatives last week, students were asked to complete a "needs assessment" questionnaire compiled by ASLCC officers. Student voters who completed the questionnaire are helping student government leaders to decide how the new $5 voluntary fee, beginning Winter Term, should be spent. A proposal for a student run food co-op was enthusiastically accepted (229 for and 29 against) by those students who completed the questionnaire. But plans for a student lounge, designed to provide recreational facilities (pool tables, pin ball machines, etc.) was defeated by a slim 9 vote margin. Students said they preferred the name Associated Students of LCC (ASLCC) instead of the proposed LCC Student -Union. Proposals to unionize the student body, thereby providing •lobbying power on a local and state level, and a profit sharing plan received acceptance by a large majority of students: • The LCC chapter of Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG) has been with the SRC for most of the SRC's history, said Hood. The SRC has also coordinated petitions and it is used by the ASLCC to test out new programs. At present the SRC is trying to make money for a "drop in child care center" by collecting paper wastes and then recycling the paper, according to Bichler. The paper is collected in white cans labeled as ''paper collectors for recycling'' and placed around the campus, Bichler explained. Northwest Resource Recycling Company sold the cans to the SRC and the company will collect the paper. Other projects are being researched so that the SRC ''hopefully will become self-sufficient," Bichler commented. One event planned is a bake sale to raise money for a new coffee pot so that the SRC can offer coffee to the students who stop by, Bichler said.

She felt she needed ''to learn to do something so I can get a job.'' She chose welding because she feels welders are needed in this society and "I like being constructive." But when she was asked by the TORCH if she had enjoyed getting started in the program she stated flatly, "no." She explained she had felt "so alienated from everything. I had never been in any situation like that before. I had never been around so many men before.'' When asked whether she had any problems she stated, "just with me." She went on to explain that she has two children to take care of and when she started she had very little time. Now, she says, things are better and now she enjoys the work more than when she started. Dolores Morris is also in the welding program although this is her second year. Before she started the program she had worked in a furniture factory. She had been hired to do menial labor but quickly caught on to using some of the machines that worked with wood. She knew some men who were welders in the factory and they encouraged her to learn to weld. Morris said she had "never struck an arc until the first class." She says she has had no problem although for the first term she didn't relate men; now there is a feeling of camaraderie with her fellow students. But Morris' goal is to graduate from the program. A woman has never graduated from the program before. Welding instructor Chet Aubrey explained that the reason a woman hadn't graduated is generally because they are able to get a job welding before they graduate. He also added that many men do the same thing. Tom Arthur, a welding instructor, stated that as far as the welding goes he can't tell the difference between men and women. Another instructor, John Mullen, observed that women when they first start welding do better than the men because of their ''better depth perception and eye-hand coordination." He attributed this to many women's ability to sew and embroider saying that just to thread a •needle took quite a bit of coordination. But now (the fifth week) he could tell no difference between the women's work and the' men's work. Nott and Arthur both explained that students were listed only by their last name in the grade books.

Umpqua CC loses la\Nsuit: appeals to higher court (CPS)--Students suing their colleges and running off with a quick fortune? Naahh, that's only in storybooks, students never win those battles. But sometimes they do. In an Oregon District Court last month, Peter Dizick was awarded a $12,500 settlement in his suit against Umpqua Community College (UCC), a small, technically oriented school in Roseburg, Oregon. Dizick charged UCC with misrepresentation in its annual course catalog. "I wasted a year of my life," recounted Dizick to the six person jury. Dizick complained that a welding course he took in 1974 promised the use of machinery that the school didn't even own. So far, no other student has attempted·to pull the same type of heist at UCC, but administrators admit there could be more trouble if Dizick's victory is upheld in higher courts. Right now, they're sure that Dizick' s was a fluke case which will be promptly quashed._ Dizick, in his mid-thirties, originally had higher stakes in mind; $50,000 for punitive damages and $25,000 for general damages. Officials at UCC were more than a tad surprised by the adverse decision. "It was a case we took too lightly,'' explained I. S. Hakenson, president of UCC. Hakenson is confident that the verdict will be overturned, however, and the school is currently protesting the ruling to the Oregon Court of Appeals. Hakenson noted that Dizick was "a special circumstance student'' who was also engaged in a suit against the Welfare Department. According to Hakenson, Dizick misinterpreted the description of the welding course, and expected to be taught skills that were never intended to be included in the curriculum. cc~ 11iiirn<ecdl LOST near Cafeteria: Green wallet.
