"Public Affairs to me is going beyond a
newscast and looking at an issue, topic, or
event . . . to find out why it happened or
why it didn't.
'' Being objective is the primary responsibility of a public radio station," he says.
Like the other new KLCC staffers, Lewis
doesn't forsee any changes in the direction
of the station. "The community has said
what they want it to be, and the college has
said they want it to st~y that way,'' he said.

State certified day carecenters may be used in addition
to campus operated centers.

, LCC Budget comm iffee starts w orlc

No tuition hike next year

by Kathleen Monje

Tuition will not cost LCC students
anymore next year, the school's Dean of
Business Operations Tony Birch told the
LCC Budget Committee at its first meeting
Jan. 26.
Board policy requires that tuition pay
approximately 20 percent of LCC's expenses, and Birch estimates tJtat the
present tuition--$130.80 for full-time students--will provide 19.5 percent of next
year's projected $14.3 million income for
1977-78.
Both Board member Catherine Lauris
and chairman Jim Martin said they felt
tuition is high enough now, and Lauris
added "I don't want to ever raise it again."
Birch emphasized that the figure, which
is $300,000 more than the current year's
budget, is an initial estimate subject to
changes in student enrollment, tax payments, and federal and state reimburse'm ents.
'' A lot of people think that the new tax
base (a $1.8 million raise in the assessment
against property values voted in last
November) means that we'll have more
money.'' said Birch. '' I want them to know
there's not a big pot of gold out there."
The committee members attending the
informal meeting included the LCC Board
of Education--Chairer Jim Martin and
members Edward Cooper, Richard Freeman, Catherine Lauris, Larry Perry, James
Pitney, and Steven Reid--and their appointees from the county Jerry Brown,
elected chairman, Donna Sprechen, the
new vice-chairwomen (not present at the
meeting), Richard Charters, Larry Beggs,
David Redfox, Beverly Ficek, and Kenneth
Parks. The last two members were also
absent. A student representative, not yet
appointed by student body President Ken
Pelikan, will also serve.
Birch said that the Budget Committee
will have to decide whether or not to absorb
into the college budget 20 employees
currently listed as Comprehensive Employee Training Act [CETA] personnel,
who are mostly, in support services rather
than instruction. CETA regulations

The LCC Administration is considering a
possible merger of the Mass Communica- •
tion Department into several other departments on campus.
Electronics, Performing Arts, and Language Arts will be receiving sections of the
department--if the idea is implemented.
Members of the Mass Communication
Department are not in favor of such a
reorganization, and Joyce Hopps, associate
dean of the academic division in which the
department falls, said early this month she
does not recommend ·the proposal, although she declined comment on a report
she forwarded this week to Dean of
Instructor Gerald Rasmussen.

President Eldon Schafer told the TORCH
this week "The pros and cons are being
weighed by those involved. Whenever you
have an administrative vacancy, it's
general policy to review the situation.
The Mass Communication Chairman resigned last September, and the position
has been advertised during the last two
months.
"Sometimes, instead of filling the
vacancy, it's time to. change the structure
of the organization," he added, but said he
''has no premonition that the department
will necessarily be dissolved."
Schafer said that a decision will probably
be reached by the end of next week.

Reprinted from People's World
by Marion Kinney
ABERDEEN, Wa. -Six loggers were
killed in the woods during the six
weeks starting Nov. 9, 1976. The last
worker died Dec. 23, two days before
Christmas.
A retired logger, a men.iber of th_e
Intl. Woodworkers of America (IWA),
brought this gruesome statistic to the
attention of The People's World.
After a lifetime of working in the
woods, Gordon Moir retired last
month at 65 - but not from the class
.struggle.
Union brothers told him of the
concern of their union and of the
Industrial Union Department of the
Washington State Labor Council
which met on Dec. 18 in the capital
city, Olympia, where a report was
made on the carnage in the woods.
Logging is admittedly one of the
most dangerous of occupations. Ebert
Pearson from the Dept. of Labor and
Industries, which administers the
Washington Industrial Safety and
Health Act (WISHA) under the
supervision of OSHA (national Occupational Safety and Health Act), told
the PW that in the last three or four
years an average of 25 loggers were
killed each year.
A labor department publication for
May-June 1974 reported that although
employees in wood products worked
roughly 5 percent of all hours .worked
in 1970 through 1972, they accounted
for 15 percent of the time loss
compensation claims because of injury. In 1972, 34 wood products
employes were killed. "Thus a group
which works only five percent of the
total hours experienced 29 percent of
the fatalities.''

_ _ _ Letters_ __

Union story clear
and concise
Dear Ms. Oljar,
I wish to compliment you on your article
concerning the Adult Basic Education/
High School Completion department's
struggle for collective bargaining rights.
As I have learned this year, the legal
procedures involved in collective bargaining and unit determination are very
_complex. It was, therefore, a real pleasure
to read your article. One would have to
have a real understanding of the process in
order to sift out the necessary elements
and write such a comprehensive, yet
concise article.
Sincerely,
Pat John
President, LCCEA

But in the opinion of the employers,
the_ victims are responsible for their
own fatalities and injuries, an attitude
that creeps into the material of the
labor department. But as another
logger, now out of the industry, said,
··Everything that moves in the woods
can kill you; everything in the woods
moves." The victim should never
have been where he was when
catastrophe struck.
Moir cites an unnamed spokesman
for Weyerhauser Timber interests
who claims that 90 percent of th~
accidents are the fault of emplo~ees.
Moir countered with a survey by the
University of Wisconsin on lost time
accidents that 54 percent were due to
unsafe acts and 7 percent were due to
heart failures, strokes or the like.
Only 28 percent of the "fatals"
(deaths) were caused by unsafe acts.
Moir, the logger who managed to
survive to retire, noted that ''workers
know they have the most to lose in the
industry and we are far more
conscious of safety than the employers.'' He charged that ''the main
area of responsibility lies with major
employers, ITT Rayonier, Weyerhaeuser, Simpson Timber Company
and their contractors and sub-contractors."
ROLLING KILLERS

The accident reports available from
the Dept. of Labor and Industries to
the public and press have pertinent
information blanked out: the name
and location of the company, the
accident location and the name,
address and funeral location of the
deceased. The department also
considers confidential the name of the
investigator and all witnesses.
Department spokesmen say this is
necause of insurance. litigation.
Workers believe it is to protect the
company and its contention that most
accidents are because of the victim's
carelessness.

he had worked four months for
"blank" company. He was single and
his total work experience was four
months.
Could the accident have been
prevented? The "yes" slot is marked,
but in the form it doesn't say how.
According to the form, "The backline
dislodged a loose root wad which was
about 100 feet above the crew." Root
wads are a heavy mass of tree roots,
stump and clinging matter and are
called ''rolling killers'' by the WISHA
administrators. Even one who has
never seen a logging operation can
ask, would not a man positioned above
the rock ledge have seen the root wad
begin its lethal descent and shout a
warning to the crew below?
Moir, who was hit on the head by a
chunk of a limb picked up by the
backline and survived but was off
work for some months, blames a lot of
the accidents on speedup and the need
for better equipment. He said there
are a lot of different factors to
overcome.
When confronted with over-ripe
timber which won't hold up a rigging
very well you have to plan differently
than when you are dealing with green
growing timber. It is the respons. ibility of management to deal with the
problems.
Four of the six fallen loggers,
according to the reports, had •been
struck by rolling logs. Another
chokerman, 56, married with one
dependent, was working with a crew
clearing a logging road Nov. 10. "As
the logs were placed at the side of the
right-of-way, they straddled a stump,
causing the logs to slide . . . One of
the logs struck the deceased." Yes,

single. His employer is located at
Shelton, Wash. He died because of an
"unsafe act" --according to the report,
he was working near unstable logs.
On Dec. 7, an 18-year-old chokerman was struck by a log at 11 a.m.
because he was ''positioned in an
unsafe location." The management
had planned on shutting down for the
winter in three more days.
A hook-tender with 20 years experience was killed on Dec. 9 as he
was '' attempting to walk on an
unstable log." This logger was 42,
married, with two dependents.
The last man to die in the w<,ods in
1976 was a log truck driver, 21, with
three years experience. As the crew
began to load he went to the back of
the truck which rolled back nine inches
and crushed him between the mud
guard brackets and chassis of the
loading machine Dec. 23. He left a
wife and one dependent .
Dick Spohn, editor of International
Woodworker, official publication of
IW A, told the PW in a phone
conversation of the trouble the union
has, especially with the small operators. Spohn said that these small
logging operations spring up, cut
enough sections to make some quick
money then, as often as not, go broke.
The equipment later turns up under
another name .
Spohn explained, "We try to get
these employes covered under our
contracts", but he judged that this
rash of fatalities involved unorganized
workers with no union protection.
The business agent of Port Angeles
Local 3-90 (IWA), Joe Zimmer, did say
that one of the fatals was a union
logger but the other two in his
jurisdiction were non-union. He
agreed that union contracts with the
many safety provisions would protect
the men against many hazards.
Moir pointed out that accidents do
cost the companies money, but they
would rather gamble with the lives
and health of the workers than spend
the money to guarantee a safe work
environment.

Financial aid applications being accepted
by Edna Webster
There was a new furniture arrangement
in the Financial Aids Office as the staff
geared up to accept grant applications for
the 1977-78 academic year beginning this
week.
Desks have been rearranged, procedures
reorganized and a Financial Aids Specialist
position created to help prepare forms and
expedite the anticipated 3,800 applications
for the fourteen different kinds of student
loans and grants available, according to
Francis Howard, Director of the Financial
Aids Program at LCC.
With the promotion of Marilyn Bader to

Financial Aids Specialist, the student and
staff frustrations involved in application
processing should be less than in the past,
said Howard.
Bader has been employed in the
Financial Aids Office for a year and a half
and has attended several workshops and
training sessions with the Regional Office
of Education and state agency professionals.
"We feel that Mrs. Bader, in her new
position , will not only render a much
needed service to grant applicants but will
tend to upgrade the total Financial Aids
Program." Howard stated.

VA reminds veterans
benefits not taxable

Veterans Administration
_
As the nation's taxpayers ponder the
new federal income tax returns, the
Veterans Administration reminds recipients of veterans benefits that these
payments generally are exempt from
taxation.
Major tax-exempt VA benefits are
compensation, pension and educational
assistance. The latter includes subsistence
payments to vocational rehabilitation trainees. These monthly payments need not be
reported on federal income tax returns, it
was noted.
Also exempt are VA grants to military
service-disabled veterans for specially
adapted homes and automobiles and .
clothing allowances paid to service-disabled veterans whose usage of prosthetic
or orthopedic appliances result in undue
wear and tear on clothing.
Dividends and proceeds from government life insurance policies are exempt
from federal income tax, but the proceeds
are subject to federal estate tax, a VA
spokesman explained.
Interest accrued on government life
insurance dividends left on deposit or
credit with the VA is not exempt and must
be reported on federal income tax returns,
the spokesman added.

ASLCC proposes
additional funding
by Paul Yarnold
The Associated Students of LCC will
hold a pivotal meeting this week to
hammer out budget proposals for presentation to the Administration.
The meeting convened at 4:00 p.m. on
Tuesday, Feb. 1, in the Board Room of the
Administration Building. Cash was the
number one issue.
The ASLCC's funding has recently
undergone fundamental redesign by adminstrati ve officials. With the recent
revocation of the five dollar student activity
fee, the ASLCC has generated operating
capital solely from the student body cards,
a program termed cautiously "a success,
so far,'' by ASLCC Publicity Director Marc
Ness.
According to Ness, in order to obtain
available funds from the administration,
the ASLCC must stratify a specific term
budget. In this way, funding must be
accounted for by the ASLCC leadership in
advance. This is the procedure applied in
the past to academic departments at the
college.
"This (the budget proposal) is a chance
to increase our credibility with the
administration," Ness remarked. "They
are watching us pretty closely over here."
What will the funding be used· for?
Several on-going ASLCC projects were
outlined by President Ken Pelikan. These
included the Legal Aid Program, and the
drafting of a Student Bill of Rights by the
ASLCC (as a member of CCOSAC, the
• Oregon Community College Student Association). A new program of coordinated
legislative action is also under way.
According to Ken Pelikan, this last
program highlights best the hopes of the
ASLCC for expanded effectiveness and
influence. Since LCC is directly affected by
legislative actions ·taken in Salem, CCOSAC will send lobbyists to represent their
interests in the State House there. The
wheels are already in motion in regard to
~tate funding for day care centers.

ASLC C offers legal aid to students

by John Brooks
Group legal aid is one of the services the
ASLCC student body provides for students
of LCC.
According to one of the attorneys who
helps provide the service, Bob Ackerman,
it is one of the cheapest in Eugene.
The service is being provided through
the ASLCC and paid for by monies
gathered from the voluntary student body
card fee of five dollars, Ackerman said.
According to the ASLCC booklet that
outlines the benefits of the student body
card, Ackerman and Tom Huntsberger, the
other attorney with the program, now
provide advice and consultation on any
legal question; they will draft or review
legal documents; they will negotiate with
parties who disagree -to settle their
differe~ce~(short oflaw.suits); and they do

_ The two attorneys also deal with
landlord-tenant problems and uncontested
divorces, including representing students
in settling rights of custody and property.
The lawyers cannot give legal aid for
such problems as criminal cases, tax
matters and estate planning, or cases
involving claims against the ASLCC, a
fellow student of LCC, or the conduct code
of LCC. Ackerman did say that in these
cases they will give referral ad vice to
students.

In June the Board of Education refused
to continue the mandatory student
body fee, thus cutting a large portion of the
ASLCC's funding, Ackerman said. In
order to raise funds for various programs,
the ASLCC has initiated the five dollar
voluntary student body fee.

According to Sue Bonamici, one of the
two work study students doing secretarial
work for the lawyers, if a student hasn't
purchased a student body card and wishes
to receive legal aid from the attorneys at
the ASLCC, he or she can stop by the
Business Office on the first floor of
the Administration Building , pay five dollars and receive a receipt. This will act as a
student body card and will entitle the

Juggling proves
popular in
Eugene area

If you've eaten in the cafeteria on a
Tuesday or Wednesday night you may
have noticed people throwing balls ·in the
air and catching them. They're not bored,
they're just practicing the ancient art of
juggling.
Tom Dewart, instructor and originator of
the class, has shown 125 people how to
juggle since last year. Out of this group
says Dewart, only three people couldn't
learn the techniques of juggling.
-"Basically everybody learns how to do it,"
Dew art adds, "A lot of people who take the
beginning class go on to the intermediate
class.''
According to Dewart, the most basic
form of juggling is ball juggling. In the
beginning class, students receive calculated step by step instructions learning the
various steps with two balls and progressing to three and four.
The intermediate class is more of a
workshop than anything else, says Dewart.
During the "workshop" Dewart participates in working out with the juggling
.equipment. These include balls, clubs and
-- rings.
The juggling class usually uses lacrosse
balls. These are considered ''standard'' by
Dewart although he cited "dog balls"
found in pet stores as - another good
-- medium for juggling. The solid rubber
found in these allows the user to feel the
energy of the ball when it comes into his
hand. "The definition of a good juggling
ball," said Dewart, "Is something that
partially closes your hand when it hits."
Lance Winger shows his skill with the clubs.

An interesting note involving the
lacrosse balls is their rarity in the Eugene
area. Dewart knows of sporting goods
stores that have their stocks depleted the
same day the balls arrive. He also noticed
that the balls are a "novelty" back east.
Dewart organized the first annual
Eugene jugglers convention here last
summer and there were 50 jugglers who
participated. He hopes to persuade the
International Jugglers Association to hold
its annual convention in Eugene
next year. Eugene has the highest number
of members in the association.

Hepburn~s magic captured in Portland

Review by Sally Oljar
My heroes and heroines can't be sent
away for in 8 x 10 glossies from the movie
magazines. They are real to me from the
old photographs that are yellowing with
age, from the biographies and autobiographies, from the producers and directors
who write the "This WAS Hollywood"
books, and from the hours spent in the
library looking at old magazines and

"To put it ainply,

Hepburn ... in a live performance at the
Portland Civic Auditorium. My mouth
dropped open at receiving the tickets (a
Christmas gift from a pair of equally
obsessed and admiring friends), and it
stayed open from the moment the curtain
rose.
She has been touring in '' A Matter of
·Gravity," a comedy by Enid Bagnold (who
also wrote "National Velvet" for all you
Elizabeth Taylor fans), since 1975. The
repeated performances on the tour have

she was fantastic.''
newspapers. I am a throw-back. I was
born in the wrong time. I really ought to be
about 65 now and reminiscing about those
"glorious years."
Most of my heroines are dead now,
except for one of the greatest, Katharine
Hepburn.
. One has to understand my obsession and
tremendous admiration for Hepburn to
understand why I shivered in the cold
Portland winds last Saturday night for an
. hour to catch a glimpse of her only three
feet away. One must also understand why
I watched '' A Matter of Gravity'' through a
pair of binnoculars, and then left the
theatre unable to straighten my· arms for an
hour afterward.
It's because I love her, and they just
don't make them like her anymore.

Photograph reprinted with permission from Encore magazine

into a "modern thinker." But it is they
who are changed instead, anh each return
to the house by the end of the play to tell
her so.
Hepburn's delivery was flawless, and
not affected by a quivering voice or
movements (she has Parkinson's Disease,
but her performance wasn't affected, as it
has been in the past). She never missed an
entrance, never upstaged her co-performers, though it is obvious who the star of the
play is. It was impossible to separate the
role from the actress.
Due to a broken ankle, she played Mrs.
Basil from a wheelchair. I discovered later
that she had kept it after •it was needed
(and for extra protection in case she fell)
because it "added" to the part.
continued on back cover

allowed her to develop her role as an
eccentric English grandmother to perfection. It was her last evening performance
in Portland, an added benefit, for it always
takes- a few days for the performer to
become used to the theatre.
To put it simply, she was fantastic.
The part was written for her--to
emphasize that buzz-saw New England
accent, the abrupt hand gestures that
signal impatience or boredom for those
who are slow or dim-witted, and the finely
chiseled features that make her appear
sleek and well-bred.
She plays Mrs. Basil, a colorful
country-rich English woman who is exposed to the characters of the outside world
by her grandson, Nicky. The collection of
characters include a socialist professor and
feminist, another male professor and his
young lover (a young boy who departs early
in the play after experiencing a breakdown
from seeing Dubois, the cook/maid
"float"), and Elizabeth, who marries
Nicky, only to gain posession of the house.
Dubois is Mrs. Basil's only ally against
the harsh criticism against her material
wealth, the huge unoccupied mansion, and
her snobbish thinking. Charlotte Jones is
finely cast as Dubois, the obese and sodden
cook, who floats by some mysterious grace,
and in so doing, provides Mrs. Basil with
the "last" miracle she's looking for.
The rest of the cast that Nicky assembles
in the drawing room expect to change her

Country Joe
versatile , tight
R~view by Jan Currie
Nostalgia caught up with me Tuesday
night. Satisfying a long time curiousity, I
went to see Dan Hicks and Country Joe
McDonald at the EMU Ballroom, Jan. 25.
My remembrances of Country Joe dated
back to 1967 when the first album I ever
bought was Country Joe and the Fish--"I
Feel Like I'm Fixing To Die."
Dan Hicks did a short solo performance.
He was good but seemed rather anaesthetized. He sort of slid on stage, slurred
through his songs, and slithered off. He
only played for about thirty minutes which
was a disappointment.
Country Joe came on with his band.
They played a wide variety of music
ranging from old material tq an album not
yet released. Country twang jazz and
reggae. The band was tight but a lot of the
music didn't impress me. The lyrics to
most of the songs were really sensitive and
showed an awareness that has evolved over
the last decade. I felt that the vocals and
the musical arrangements didn :t :always
fit.
1 was struck by the intensity of Country
Joe's stage presence. He uses his ability to
integrate music and his political views to
stimulate public awareness. After the
concert I talked to Jeff Blakely, his lead
guitarist. about the band's committment to
the Save the Whales cause, and other
environmental issues.
I wanted to know if Country Joe was
sincere in his involvement, or if he was just
capitalizing on it to promote album sales.
He said that Country Joe is concerned
about dwindling rescources, and attempts
to put his energy where he can do the most
good. He thinks that the album that will be
coming out has a lot of excellent material
on it ~xpressing evolvement of the band
musically, as individuals and together. He
said that during the time that he has been
playing with Country Joe they are
constantly growing. Country Joe's attitude
was summed up for me in his encore. His
eyes seemed to twinkle as he sang "Hold
On It's Coming."

Flu common this time of y·ear
by the Staff of Student Health Services
We're seeing cases of "stomach
flu'' at the Health Service this month.
Nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea are
common with this viral infection of the
digestive tract. Too much food,
alcohol, coffee, or emotional stress can
cause the same troubles. As long as
your symptoms are lasting only a few
days, home treatment is fine (see
below). BUT:
Even with short-term symptoms,
medical care is needed:
• if you suspect bleeding from the
digestive tract (black or bloody stools,
black ,or bloody vomit);
- if you have severe, steady, or
long-lasting stomach pain (some
crampy, off-and-on "gas" pains are
usual with diarrhea).
- if the nausea is associated with a
head injury, or with diabetes, or with
symptoms of frequent or painful
urination.

Many medications can cause
nausea; some cause diarrhea. If in
doubt, call us or your doctor.
Dehydration (severe loss of body
fluids) can be a real problem,
especially in small children. Extreme
thirst, dry ,mouth and tongue are
warning signs. But dehydration can
usually be avoided.

Milk products often make things
worse. Work up slowly to a normal
diet.

HOME TREATMENT
Avoid solid foods. Eat or drink only
a little at one time. Sips of clear fluids
such as ginger ale may stav down - i~e
chips and tiny amounts of dilute je11o
may do. (Make jello with twice the
normal amount of water and don't use
the red colored jello. ·vomiting,
diarrhea, and fever increase your need
for fluid, so take in as much as is
comfortable. As your health improves,
try soups, broths, applesauce, toast.

If symptoms persist past three days,
contact the Health Services or your
physician.

It did, but then again, it didn't. It
would have been lovely to see her

characters and the set. But giving a
performance from a wheelchair, while
keeping the audiences' eyes riveted on
