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

On Monday, April 4 KMPS, LCC's
own radio station, once again released
its unique sound into the campus
airwaves.

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

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.

'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."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor:
I have been reading Jeffrey Hayden's
articles Qn "the plight and supression of
the Proletariat,'' ever since they started
being published in the TORCH. 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.)

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.

major opponent for the
Zone Three
seat, but says
his chances of
winning are
''great.''
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

Moore supports Tripp praises
LCC 'open
technical
door' policy

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.
Tripp thinks the greatest change she'd
like to see is the replacement of Jim
Martin, the incumbent. Though she has
not attended any LCC board meetings, she
feels that Martin is ''. . . too quick in his
decisions." She stated, if she were in his

describes candidate Char, lene Curry,
who lost her
Board seat to
Jim Martin in
1973, but is
back to t r y
again, actively
campaigning
, for the Zone 3
position. 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. ''If state money had been

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

----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.

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."

world. Every item has a price and that
price is determined by what the better-off
customers are willing to bid. Even Fido

States can outbid most of the world's

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.

'Harlan County, USA' depicts miner's struggle
by J. Hayden
"Harlan County, U.S.A."
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. It is a film you must

Before anyone starts thinking the men's
track team may be losing its' grip on the
top rung of Oregon community college
cinder supremacy, following Clackamas
resounding win at the OCCAA Relays on
their own oval Saturday, they should listen
to Lane coach Al Tarpenning explain why
they could gather only a distant second.
"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.
