@ne Commu,Ptg College Vol. 14 No. 22 April 7, 1977 · 4000 Eait 30th Ave . Eugene, Or. 97405 Support lacking for daycare bill by John Healy A $3.65 million day care bill before the current Oregon Legislature is in danger of being shelved because of the public's complacency, said Ken Peilkan, ASLCC president. He spoke at a joint news conference held on Tuesday, April 5 with Jane Oliver, president of the Associated Students of the University of Oregon (ASUO). House Bill 2459 would expand the current day care services offered to student-parents attending colleges and universities throughout Oregon. If the new bill passes, virtually all Campus station begins broadcasting by Howard Leff On Monday, April 4 KMPS, LCC's own radio station, once again released its unique sound into the campus airwaves. Station operation is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Speakers for KMPS are located at the northeast corner of the cafeteria. KMPS. nowhere on your radio dial, just what your ears ordered. The station's format should appeal to a wide range of students. "I'd like to see KMPS be appreciated by people who like good music in a non-commercial format," says Program Director, Craig Leavy. Musically KMPS will offer familiar songs and artists. David Black, the music director says, "We'll be playing light rock that's familiar, with an accent on new and key artists." For public affairs KMPS offers a five minute feature called the News Balloon which will deal with news that LCC students can use. matriculating parent-students would be eligible for day care assistance if they are able to show financial need. Included would be freshmen, sophomores , and transfer students at community colleges. However, unless a good deal of "visible" public support for the prorram is generated, the bill faces certain elimination, said Pelikan. "We want a full hearing before the entire Joint Ways and Means Committee by the end of the month, before Governor Straub's budget is completely allocated," said Oliver, ASUO prsident. The bill is currently before a subcommittee of the Joint Ways and Means committee, and both Pelikan and Oliver feel the only way to get the bill before a full hearing is if a massive letter writing campaign in support of the bill is undertaken. "Letters from the public to Representative Vera Katz, chairer of the Ways and Means subcommittee, would probably be the most effective, since that's where the bill is snagged,'' said Oliver. House Bill 2459 will: •Provide day care assistance to studentparents who show a definite financial need. •Apply to children 12 years old and younger. Give student-parents the opportunity to enroll their children in state-certified day care facilities. •Supplement existing Children's Service Division programs by extending eligibility to nearly all student-parents, including graduate students, freshmen and sophomores and transfer students in community colleges. '' If the legislators on the Ways and Means subcommittee receive a substantial amount of mail in support of this bill, they would have to act," said Oliver. Sponsors of the bill include the majority leaders of both the House and the Senate, plus a number of legislators from the Eugene area. Reps. Burrows, Frohnmayer, and Kerans, in addition to Senators ,.....__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ __ _ _ ___, Windgard and Fadeley, were among the original sponsors of the bill. Four seek Board post LCC Board chairman Jim Martin will compete for the Zone Three Springfield Board seat against three challengers on April 19. Running for the four-year position are Charlene Curry, who has taught at the U of 0 and is a former LCC Board member (she lost to Martin in 1973), Springfield attorney Lynn Moore, and retired librarian and teacher Margaret Tr~pp. All four candidates discuss the LCC budget, tuition increases, their chances of winning the unpaid position, and other college issues in interviews on page four. Any member of the LCC community with a specific question for any or all of the candidates can submit it to the TORCH, 206 Center Bldg. Answers will be obtained and printed next week. Jin Martin ,.._-.;;, ... ,/ M argaret Tripp Charlene Curry 'Permanent' male birth control by Michael Riley Graphic courtesy of Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood •'Isn't it about time I shared some of the responsibility?'' "I was afraid of what could happen to my wife with all the faults found in available birth control devices.'' • ''We felt two kids were enough and I felt it was up to me, not my wife, to do something about it.'' These statements are from a movie entitled, "Vasectomy," shown recently at a program on the subject held by the Planned Parenthood Association of Lane County. The men who made these comments all had the operation. About 75 men and women attended the session late last month. A four man pariel discussion followed the film. Two of the panelists .had vasectomies; one of these two obtained a reversal operation after changing his mind about fathering children. The other panelists were Dr. Richard McDuffie, a local area urologist, and Steve Modisette of the Family Planning Clinic. A vasectomy can be defined as a relatively painless, 20-minute operatiqn that is done in the doctor's office; a local anesthetic is used . It involves the severing of the vas deferens, the duct that passes sperm from the testes to the prostrate and other reproductive organs. The cut ends are tied-off, and after a follow-up sperm count is made a few weeks after the operation, the patient is either sterile or told to return for another sperm count in a month. The reason for the sperm counts after the operation is simple, said Dr. McDuffie: The body will still have sperm in the reproductive system after the vasectomy. The procedure for obtaining a vasectomy is not as simple as the operation. Whether a man talks to the Family Planning Clinic or his doctor, he must take into consideration his reasons for obtaining the operation. Other factors include age, marital status and the number of children in his family. The family Planning Clinic, according to Modisette, interviews a client to screen out those who have doubt s about the operation or who may find other birth control methods more suitable. McDuffie uses a similar procedure. Both men emphasized the idea that for all practical purposes the operation is permanent. The panelist who had obtained a reversal made a similar statement earlier. He gave the reasons for his obtaining a vasectomy as a "matter of principle," and said he did it in the belief that he would not want children. He made this decision when he was· single, but later wanted to reverse it. "It's easy enough to be aware of the world population and of the danger of alternative methods of birth control," but, he added , "I wasn't in touch with me at the time.'' While the vasectomy is presently the most effective of the available birth control methods for me n, McDuffie is optimistic about the male birth control pill. The pill, presently being tested by the Food and Drug Administration, will not be available for "at least five more years." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -, TQRCH - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A p r i l 7. 1977 stadent, prepares tblo w.:~i; . column from nationwide publlcatlons.

Once in awhile, now and again, every little bit; but not very often he would stumble onto a real and relevant revelation relating to the pertinent pressing issues that the working class is involved in. Unfortunately, unlike the rest of the TORCH, the majority of Jeffrey's articles are lacking in really meaningf"ul substantive information. Moreover his articles lack any coordinated expression of alternatives to the situation of the working class. Nor does he engage in a more than superficial analysis of the important objectives that the proletariat should be working for. I would like to take this time, to express my sincere hope that Mr. Hayden either starts producing less amateurish articles or gives up on the whole endeavor. (It doesn't matter which.) Steven R.

These and other changes ,re explained in a "stuffer" to be sent ,ith April and May checks, the VA said t·IJay. Another June 1 change, brought about by law , modifies an arrangement which in the past automatically gave trainees a two-month money advance at the start of school. Ending of the prepayment system will have the most noticeable effect on veteran-students continuously enrolled this summer. They will receive their last VA check under the prepayment system on May 1, covering enrollment for May. The next check, covering June enrollment, will be issued July 1. Subsequent VA checks will follow each additional month of enrollment. A student whose enrollment ends in June will receive the payment for June on July 1. The modified advance payment procedure permits advance payment at the beginning of a school term for the first month or partial month, plus the following month only if the student makes a written request and the school agrees to process the advance payment. Prior to this new legislation, all students got advance payments automatically, it was noted. Students under the GI Bill or .the dependents educational assistance program who wish an advance payment should contact their school, because the student's written request for advance payment must be included on the school enrollment certification submitted to VA. VA emphasized the enrollment certification containing the advance payment request must be received at least 30 days before the start of regular registration. Disabled veterans under VA rehabilitation programs should contact their VA rehabilitation specialist for further information. Eligible veteran-students requesting advance payment for the fall school session should be aware that no additional check will be forthcoming from the VA for approximately three months, a VA spokess id.

He feels that Curry can't" match his concern for ·s tudent rights, or match-up to the confidence the public has in him. "I'm running because there isn't another candidate with as much time to devote to the job,'' Martinsaid. He added that there are already three educators on the Board, and said Curry's election would make an imbalance not reflective of the school district. Martin said "I have a sense of being different from the other members of the Board, and I feel that my thinking is similar to the community's." In response to the other candidates' remarks about his handling of the position, Martin said ''The title of obstructionist doesn't bother me at an. If I continue to raise issues after Board decisions, it's because I continue to believe in them. And if I'm re-elected, I'll continue to speak out." He emphasized- two issues: his stand that collective bargaining be held in public meetings, under public scrutiny; and his feeling that part-time college employees should be allowed to form collective bargaining units. "Both of these policies are very important to me." Calling the present Board "okay--not good," Martin said that it should direct the administration to put more energy into community education and innovative programs. He sees more community education as a "very easy way to treat" the problem of decreasing enrollment. "The needs of people in the community fit into that division, and it's the single biggest area in which the college is deficient.'' He also thinks that community education (mostly non-credit courses for adults) should be separate from the Office of Instruction. But he thinks that an even better continued on page S I I Moore supports Tripp praises LCC 'open technical door' policy programs by Paul Yarnold by Linda Moony WithouL Board Ch airman Jim Martin, Lynn Moore might not have a case. Moore, an established Springfield attorney. will challenge Martin for the SpringfieldMarcola area position on the LCC Board of Education in the election April 19. In an interview Monday, Moore took issue with Martin's reluctance to "go along" with certain "majority decision_s " made by the Board. "I think he (the chairperson) ow~s allegiance to the group, just like the foreman on a jury. When a decision is made, it's made." Moore has never attended an LCC Board meeting, but he has served as counsel for Springfield School District 19 for about 20 years. Moore said that "certain friends," among them "ex-board members," had expressed dissatisfaction with Martin's performances as a team player. He would like to see Martin bite the bullet a little harder. Aside from Martin's purported obstructionism, Moore was unable to repsond to TORCH questions on _issues recently decided by the LCC Board. He expressed infamiliarity with : The reshuffling of KLCC, the evaluation of KLCC by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), and LCC's expenditure of $180,000 for aquatic complex that never received federal funding. Moore did express commitment to conservative fiscal responsibility, and looks toward continuation of the status quo, with the exception of Martin's positioning. Moore did express interest in the ACCESS program, including the somewhat controversial Goldmark Program recently criticised by the LCC Faculty Council President--but was unable to make further comment, having been unaware of the programs previous to the interview. On any possible tuition increases for the coming year, Moore cites other methods for dealing with the inevitable inflationary spiral. "I would prefer to see taxpayers shoulder the burden of increased costs-within limits." This would be accomplished, if necessary, by budget election. Moore expressed optimism for the success of such a measure, but only if the budget continued on page 5 No tuition increase and praise for LCC' s "open door'' policy is the position taken by Margaret Tripp, a candidate for the LCC Board of Education. In an interview last Frid a y , Tripp stated that she felt a lot of students •' ... attend LCC because of the low tuition'' and they should be given " ... every opportunity for an education." She would not, therefore be in favor of raising tuition, she concluded. The open-door policy, (not requiring testing or screening of college applicants) is a good thing, she believes. "A lot of people couldn't enter LCC without it." Tripp says she has known ''. . . many students who were non-readers in junior high, who made the honor roll at Lane," because of the learning atmosphere of the "open door" school. Tripp said she is running for the non-salaried position on the college Board because she feels she would like to give some community service. She is retired after serving as librarian at Hamlin Junior High School in Springfield for 12 years, and being a part of school systems for 37 years. Though she has a master's degree in elementary education, she stated that it is her 37 years in school service that have qualified her to handle the budgets and make the decisions necessary in the position of LCC Board member. When asked to comment on the trend of taking educational facilities into the outlying areas, rather than expanding the present campus, Tripp agreed with the idea. She went on to say that satellite campuses '· ... truly brought the education to the student." These "out-reach programs are a good method of education, when commuting and job conflicts are present and also for economical reasons," she continued. Tripp considers her chances of actually winning the election as "very slim," because she isn't spending money on campaigning for the non-paying job as board member.

Her chances to beat incumbent Martin are "good," she says. "I think I can provide the leadership the Board needs. I understand how institutions work and community co11eges, too," she says. Curry earned her doctorate in Educational Foundations from the U of 0, where she has also taught on the faculty. She is a member of LCC' s Long Range Planning Committee and a former guidance director at Springfield High School. At the present time she is an aide to Senator Ed Fadeley in Salem. She describes herself as involved and concerned with college affairs, interests that she describes as a "long love affair." ''I think the community college is essential to the community . . . in providing skills training, and as an outreach ''. . . to provide for a better, more educated society." The "outreach" conce}Jt is one she admires. She thinks the college can extend itself even farther into the community with more "storefront" centers and increased Adult Education classes. ''There are lots of potential students out there," she says, citing mid-life persons and senior citizens as two unnoticed groups wanting instruction. She also supports outreach programs at the state level, too, and maximum funding for community colleges. As part of her work in Salem, she is working to bring ''unmet obligation money,·'-money the state matches in capital outlay funds put out by community colleges-back to the colleges.

When questioned about the college-paid $180,000 fee for the aquatic building design which did not win federal funding, Tripp commented simply, "Somebody goofed!'' Before going ahead with anything of that magnitude, she continued "I would have looked into it long and loud." In general Margaret Tripp says she is running a low keyed campai_gn. She considers herself to be "pretty conservative. I watch my own dollars very carefully . . . school and school systems should do the same." Martil ----continued from page 4 corrective measure to assure money for LCC is a change in the state's approach to community college funding. "State reimbursement should be based on program content instead of FTE (the number of full-time student enrollment hours). An expensive program like Nursing should have a higher rate of reimbursement than a less expensive class like Writing 101." Martin calls himself a liberal ideologically, but a financial conservative. The Board decision last summer that cut the previous amount of college funding to the Associated Students of LCC was good one, Martin said. "Financial strings mean control and dependence--this way the student point of view is independent.'' The ASLCC is currently attempting to generate funding by selling special student body cards. Martin is in complete opposition to any future tuition increase ... "as tuition goes up, the number of people education is available to goes down." On another money controversy, chairman Martin said, ''Somebody fell asleep at the wheel.'' The incumbent said the $180,000 the college spent on architect's fees for an aquatic bulding complex that lost out on federal funding was an •'outrageous, imprudent expenditure.'' He said ''the only reason it was funded was that the Board didn't know the amount until after the fact.'' Such actions affect the Board's credibility in the community, he said. Martin also said the LCC Administration made a "real error" in not keeping the Board better informed on the KLCC situation; five of the college radio station's employees were terminated last fall, and the information became public and controversial before the Board was told of the decision. American a id Moore-----wntinued from page 4 increase was within reasonable limits. "I woud support a tuition increase only as a last resort," hp said. Moore rates his chances of victory an even 50-50. having spent approximately $700 out of his - own pocket on the campaign. If inflationary trends continue and LCC's enrollment stays on the decline, it is possible that some programs would have to be cut, unless the gap is filled with cash from a budget election, or with additional aid from state and local sources. Asked where the slash would be made if this situation comes about, Moore declined to pinpoint a specific department or program. However, he expressed hearty support for the technical programs here at LCC, and a wish to see them continued at the present level. Specifically, Moore said that he had heard good things about the Nursing Proe:ram. Will Moore be disappointed if he is unsuccessful in his bid for a seat on the LCC Board? "if the people want me (elected), that's fine. If they don't, well that's fine. too." Curry----continued from page 4 the students' reach, and keep LCC an open door school. A tuition increase is "a survival measure" to keep the college operating, she said. Contrary to last summer's Board action that reduced college funding of the ASLCC, Curry believes in Board support and assistance for student government. "I believe in student government. I would fight to keep an active student government. I don't see students as little idiots that can't be involved in decision-making,'' she says. If elected, she believe~ she can "Do a better job representing students ... I think I relate better to students than most people my age.'' In the past, she says, it has appeared that students, faculty, administration, and the Board, were "opposing factions." She believes her background in education will ''bring all these facets together'' and provide a better working relationship. She says if she were elected she would "work diligently to see that huge crises don't occur. I'm not a crisis-oriented person. I don't make policy from an angry stance.'' Although she has received reports of the KLCC controversy, she did not feel informed enough to make a fair judgement. She did say, "I long have been a supporter of KLCC as a community radio station, but it also has to be a teaching station." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - continued from page 2 hungry but to supply a Global Supermarket. In the Global Supermarket the poorest in Nicaragua. Columbia and Chile must reach for food on the same shelf as hundreds of millions of persons around the world. Every item has a price and that price is determined by what the better-off customers are willing to bid. Even Fido and Felix in countries like the United States can outbid most of the world's hungry people. The negative impact of agribusiness operations like those LAAD supports is not merely in the amount of agricultural land diverted into production for the Global Supermarket. Even more critical is that, in providing capital and marketing assistance to foreign-oriented agribusiness, LAAD helps direct a country's natural and scarce technical and financial resources toward a few private projects to the active neglect of the majority of the population. The growth of lucrative agribusiness operations serves further to entrench entrepreneurial elites who will fight the slightes reform that threatens future private profit-making oppurtunities for them. Working to expose and halt U.S. government support of such operations as LAAD should be high on the agenda of those who ask what they can do about world hunger.

Produced and directed by Barbara Kopple Distributed by Cinema V " Harlan County, U.S.A." is a film that moves the heart and mind. The Academy Award winning documentary presents a factual account of a miners' strike in Harlan County, Kentucky. The film is an extraordinary experience. From the beginning frames the viewer is transfixed . Men with hard hats throw themselves onto conveyor belts which race over closely set steel rollers. The next minute all is dark and the long descent begins. Your are moving at incredible speeds through the darkness. You see nothing. There is only the noise and the shadow reflections cast upon the tunnel walls. You realize that if you raise your head or move your body you will be crushed. As the conveyor grinds to a halt greater horrors await you . A monster of a machine digs the coal. The dust , noise , and dampness overwhelm the senses. Kopple 's documentary is an extremely successful blend of past and present. The viewer is drawn irresistibly into the daily lives of the miners in Harlan County, becoming intimately involved with the people in this community. There is the black miner who says, "We go into the mines all different colors. We come out all one color, can't tell us apart." There is an old woman who says, " ' My grandaddy ~as a mi_ner. My husband's Iayin' up there with the black lung, and I'm union right to my bones." There are the conversations between the old miners who exhort the young miners to organize and fight for union representation. There are the women who exhort • their husbands to join them on the picket line. There are old film clips from past struggles. The viewer attends the funeral of Yablonski, witnesses the election of Miller. and struggles with the death of 78 miners in an explosion of several years ago . In an interview with "In These Times," Kopple describes her development as a film maker and the development of the film itself. ' ' I read a book on film technique that to operate a movie camera all you had to do was push a button. So I got an 8 mm camera and pushed the button. I was hooked . I spent about eight years learning-as assistant cameraman, film editor, everything-before "Harlan County" guns. Kopple and her film crew did ''Four years ago, when I was 26, I began doing a film about Miners for Democracy, a group in the United Mine Workers that was trying to take control away from the old leadership . That was Yablonski's crowd. Then he was murdered. I was filming in _ black lung clinics, meetings, trying to get a record of the struggle going on in the UMW. It was intense .... " In 1973 Kopple moved to Harlan County. She stayed for the duration of the strike, filming relentlessly. When things got rough the miners and scabs alike took up guns. Kopple and her film crew did likewise. Kopple relates one of the more intense moments: "The day the miners were lined up with guns across the tops of the cars. and the strike breakers were coming through with their guns. my heart was beating so hard I thought it would beat its way right out of my chest. They were pointing their guns straight at us. But you keep the cameras rolling.'' "Harlan County, U.S.A." is now playing for a limited engagement at the Mayflower Theater in Eugene.

"We chose not to participate in five events," revealed Tarpenning, considered the dean of CC coaching circles. "We experimented with personnel in different events, so some of our best people weren't participating in their usual events." He pointed to the case of sophomore Glenn Owen, who ran on the victorious four-mile relay quartet instead of in the steeplechase race, where he was conference and regional champ last year and finished seventh in the nation. Clackamas swept past the locals, 129-94, in taking the win. That score is misleading, though, because not only was Tarpenning experimenting with his talentladen forces, but his pre-meet favorite 440 and 880 relays came up pointless due to miscues. He halfway hints that is his squad had been operating at full strenghth and those relay foursomes had picked up expected points, the outcome probably would have been reversed. "I'm not taking anything away from Clackamas -they're a good team," added the veteran mentor. In fact, he feels the Cougars wil be toughest threat in Lane's defense of their perennial conference crown. Four relay teams did manage to nail wins--the mile, two mile, four mile and distance medley. In the field events, Jim Pitts uncorked a 49-6 shot put mark for a first and sailed the discus 142-8 for a second, behind teammate Charlie Keeran's winning 149-4. Versatile Joel Johnson, a grooming decathlete, claimed two seconds in the high jump at 6-4 and in the 120 high hurdles with a 15.3 clocking. They will get a chance to prove their true prowess against Clackamas at a three-way meet hosted by Linn-Benton in Albany Saturday at 1 p.m. While Lane and the Cougars are title favorites, the Roadrunners are not deep in talent but boast fine individuals in the field events, mainly the jumps and pole vault. / i{a 9@ I AcaV:d~;,:: El m m m1 I ffl. .., JC:l{}~:~;~hd~~~~=r:~r;~ ;;~t., e you qua 1,y, we II OIO it ror you ror up ,o ffl f_i,,lr:;,._ '. w365 days,_ d_epending on_ the job yo_u _choose.
