So they came up Highway 97 to Bend.'' explained Paul Colvin. LCC's director of institutional research. He was describing the problems that confronted the college's construction of a new energy saving system. The entire system, now completed and working, is expected to shave $100,000 a year from LCC's utility bill, Colvin said. , But before the storage tanks got here _ last fall... ''The lead truck rammed into an overpass and tore it out. The tank was fine, only a little dented, but the impact blew out 40 tires on the truck's trailer. All that pressure had to go somewhere. The transport company had kept me posted on their progress, but about this time the calls stopped and I started calling them, trying continued on page 3 ~ ,..

Small fire 'sniffed out' by smoke alarm by Paul Yarnold It was not a fire-freak at the end of the fire alarm handle Monday, who set the bells a-ringing around the LCC Center Bldg. Nor was it a disillusioned student, nor a boiler-brained radical. The culprit responsible for the false alarm was a small ionization detector which automatically trips ·the alarm when smoke is sniffed out, according to Director of Plant Services Walt Van . Orden. "It gave us an opportunity to see if they work--and they work!" he said. According to Van Orden, a small trash fire was accidentally started in a wastepaper basket when someone threw away a styrofoam cup that had been doubling as an ashtray. The fire . was doused quickly with a splash of water, but not before the alarm was activated, bringing the Goshen Fire Department on the run. Though the fire truck was contacted en route an given the '' all clear,'' the department completed its emergency cafl to LCC, and- filed a report. This is standard procedure, Van Orden said. LCC has installed two detectors of the type "tested"· Monday. Ideally, Van Orden would like to see 12 more installed. "it's good insurance. It blows the match out before it burns your fingers.'' • The system of two detectors currently in operation was installed by LCC at a cost of The alarm is connected · $2,000. to a special radio system at the Springfield Fire Department, which alerts them to the situation automatically. The Goshen Volunteer Fire Department is then hastily notified, according to Van Orden._ Which department shows up and how many fireman make the run is determined by the intensity of the emergency situation. Smoke detectors have proven valuable in versatile ways. Stories from: Van Orden included some domestic benefits, too. He referred to Captain Yates, of the Springfield Fire Dept., who has saved more than one burning roast from perishing in the oven--after being alerted by the smoke detector installed in hjs home. Low commencement turnout expected this year by John Healy Spring commencement exercises at Lane Community College will be held on June 3 for approximately 600 LCC graduates. However, only 150 graduates will attend the ceremonies, said Jack Powell, chairman of the commencement committee. "For the past few years, only about 25 per cent of the graduating class has shown up for graduation each year," said Powell, "and there is no indication that this year's graduation turn?~t will be any different from past years. A variety of reasons, Powell said, contribute· to low attendance: graduates transferring to four year schools consider LCC more of a stepping stone than an end to the learning process; many students are unaware that they have enough credits to apply for a degree. or don't know LCC has graduation ceremonies; and there are a large number of students who are apathetic towards the whole thing. "If you aren't sure whether or not you have enough credits for an Associate 0f Arts or Associate of Sciences degree, or a certificate in a·vocational field, check with the Office of Student Records," said Powell. The graduation ceremonies will be held in the Performing Arts Theatre (north end of the LCC campus) at 7:30 p.m., and will feature State Senator George Windgard, R.-Eugene, delivering the keynote address. Tentatively, the program will also include comments from LCC President Schafer, Ken Pelikan, ASLCC president, and Jim Martin, chairman of the LCC Board of Education. Dress for the graduates will be informalno caps and gowns will be worn. The ceremonies will conclude around 9 p.m. Petitions for a degree or certificate are due by May 13 at the Office of Student Records, if you want to be officially recognized at the graduation ceremonies, said Grace Cameron, Superintendent of Records. page L ----------- -------TO RCH - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A p r i l 14, 1977 Rent control : A rising issue ~ls A, Ifoust P,'iJe •Srub,'ffs-.,, c ~,,,_Grov~ rc-., ~/· -4,\'b 2 lb I lll)~,l,.,,•J !41 '4Prs ,,,~F~o..., .._'II" - - 60 I.ill-. ~~!l,j Editor's Note: Jeff hayden, an J,CC Agriculture aad Industrial Tech. stadent, prepares this weekly column from nationwide publications.

The material selected does not necessarily reflect the views of the TORCH. . Reprinted by permission from In These Times by Dennis Keating and Susan Climo One-third of all renters in the U.S. pay more than they can afford for housing, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' breakdown of necessary living expenses. With soaring rental putting the squeeze on othe necessities, city after city is witnessing the birth of a hot new issue: rent control. If the trend continues, it could have far-reaching consequences. "Rent control," says Prof. Beau Brincefield of the American University Business School, "is totally altering the concept of real estate as we have known it in the U.S. "We are in a transition from property being viewed as a commodity to property being viewed as a social resource that must be committed to the best interest of society.'' To counter that trend, landlord and real estate organizations this year launched a counter-attack. •In California, real estate interests pushed a bill prohibiting rent control through the legislature, only to have Gov. Jerry Brown veto it five minutes before it would have become law. Observers expect the California Housing Council, a developer and aparmentowner group that reportedly raised $300,000, to finance the legislation, to push the bill again in 1977. Meanwhile local rent control campaigns are underway or expected in student communities like Davis, Santa Barbara and Berkeley--whose rent control law was recently declared unconstitutional by the California Supreme Court. •The California sequence followed a similar passage and veto of a statewide rent control prohibition bill in Florida last June. Florida's major rent-controlled city is Miami Beach, where many elderly residents live on fixed incomes. •Under heavy pressure from both landlord and tenant groups. the Massachusetts state legislature allowed a six-year-old local option law to lapse last spring, •thus requiring rent-controlled cities to seek special legislation from their own city councils. In Boston, the largest city with controls, the City Council voted to continue the policy with one important amendment: rents are now allowed to rise when tenants move out of a dwelling. •In Washington, D.C., where rent control wa~ instituted in 1974, a court ruled in June that the law did not allow landlords to raise rents fast or high enough. A new law complying with the ruling was passed in August, for the first time exempting new construetion, recently rehabilitated building and those with four units or less. •In New Jersey, more than 100 c0mmunities have adopted local rent con trol since 1972. Landlords are pushing for a uniform state rent control law that would weaken the impact of many of the local laws. • And in dozens of other cities across the country tenant groups have launched rent control campaigns, usualJy with little success. These include major metropolitan centers like Philadelphia, Minneapolis. San Francisco. Seattle and Chicago. Destroying housing markets? The many legislative and electoral battles have been accompanied by stringing debate between tenants and landlords over the impact of rent control. Organizations like the Association of Realtors and the Institute of Real Estate Management argue that by taking the profit out of owning rental property, rent control will ultimately deplete the housing supply. Owners will be driven out of the market and new construction will lag. New York City, which froze all rents before World War II, is often cited as an example. After 30 years of imbalance between inflation and stable rental rates. the city finally decontrolled many units and allowed annual rent increases in others in the late '60's and early '70's. But many still argue that the New York housing market is suffering. In most other rent-controlled cities, however, rents are not frozen but are allowed to rise under the supervision of a regulatory board. Landlords are often required to prove that their operating costs or taxes have risen before an increase is passed on. And ·in many cities. new construction is encouraged by exemption from rent controls. This more modern form of rent control. advocates argue, protects tenants from exorbitant rent hikes without damaging the ability of landlords to maintain their buildings and construct new ones. Both sides of the debate have produced studies by experts to support their case. And not surprisingly. the conclusions are often diametrically opposed. In Boston, a city council-commissioned study concluded that rent control had had no adverse impact on the city's economy. It. found that new construction of multi-family units proceeded faster after rent controls than before. and likewise that rentcontrolled areas in Massachusetts showed higher construction rates than non-controlled areas. But a landlord-commissioned study by Prof. George Sternlieb. director of Urban Policy research at Rutgers University. concluded almost exactly the opposite. Sternlieb stated that rent control had weakened Boston·s tax base by holding down new construction and discouraging property maintenance. John Gilderbloom, who has begun a similar study . for the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). charges that Sternlieb's report "was biased, incomplete and unrepresentative of the rent control experience." Gilderbloom says Sternlieb's sampiing of landlords was too small to be statistically relevant and that his samples were provided by real estate agencies with vested interests. Gilderbloom has studied the tax base of 110 rent-controlled cities is Massachusetts. New Jersey and Florida. Though he plans to expand the sample before reaching any definitive conclusions. he says his findings so far indicate that the tax base in rentcontrolled cities has increased. new construction has stayed even with non-controlled areas and property maintenance has improved under rent control. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor's note: Last week the TORCH printed a letter to the editor from Dr. Sarah Hendrickson, the recently fired Student Health Service physician. Through an error, the next to the last paragraph was badly eqpied. This is the correct version. I feel that the Health Service could most efficiently and cheaply be served by a capable half-time director at most. A full-time director is not needed. The physician-time could easily be reduced to 10 hours per week, from the present 20, especially if the M. D. -consultant were education-oriented. The well-trained nursing personnel already at work could be far better utilized and supported. With these changes and some skilled management; the Student Health- Center at LCC could continue to prov1ae excellent primary health care at a low budget level. To the Editor: I am writing in response to the recent firing of Sarah Hendrickson from LCC's Student Health Services. It disturbs me deeply that "personality conflict" is being used as grounds to fire the physician who as director Oswalt stated, is "a very competent 'lady' medically." Carol Metzler, Student Health Services nurse, expressed: "She's the most competent physician we've had ... " This same belief has been expressed to me in numerous conversations with students on the LCC campus. Two of the SHS nurses, Jenny Hayes and Carol Metzler, made it clear in the March 31 issue of the TORCH, that they were disturbed. Hayes states that the ,~oo~cH N I Com~:...

Are we, the students of LCC, the recipients of care from the SHS or pawns in the game of politics? Dean Carter stated that is is his intention that the health service function and be a service to students. This is in direct contradiction to the manner in which the services are being administered. Student (patient) opinion has not been sought out, and, in fact, has been blatantly ignored. If this is truly a service for us. the students, rather than for the personal gratification of Director Oswalt, our opinions at this time is that the firing of Dr. Hendrickson should be postponed until a full review of the issues has been undertaken. It appears that as presently organized, student interest in the SHS is being given lower priority than the persona) whims of Director Oswalt and Dean Carter. I propose the formation of a student advisory board for the SHS. Since nurse Hayes stated that staff unrest, which has not been limited to the issue of the physician nor to this year, has made working with Oswalt "an extremely trying endeavor," my choice for the first item on the agenda would be an in-depth review of qualifications and performance of Director Oswalt. Kristie Coppedge Student of Human Services To the Editor: I would like to respond to a letter written by two ·'concerned'' students regarding the recent termination of Dr. Sarah Hendrickson as LCC Student Health Services (SHS) physician. It is important to point out that a great deal of information regarding this issue is not general knowledge at this time and would not be known by anyone not directly involved with the SHS. Student participation at the SHS is very close to nil this year, which raises some questions in my mind about how '·concerned'• students really are. I have had the unique experience of working with the SHS for three years in the realization of a dream. The dream I am speaking of is Primary Health Care for LCC students, which became a reality about five years ago largely due to the dedicated efforts of Laura Oswalt, to whom students articulated the need for such services. I will be happy to discuss this issue further with anyone who wishes to do so, but for the present, speaking as one who has worked with and been a friend to everyone at SHS for three years, I stand behind and support Laura Oswalt, Director of SHS, and all decisions that she has made 100 percent and unconditionally. Sincerely. David Mahoney Student Health Coordi.nator )974-1977 To the Editor: Why do we need Lynn Moore on the Lane Community College Board? We need his stability and his awareness of the essentials of functioning with a group striving to plan effectively the operation of our-school. His background in law and past service· with school boards equip him to fill the Springfield board seat. A friend of many years I do find him the right man for the job. Betty Raaf.

The writers have requested that their names be witheld. Q. To all candidates: How do you view the classified staff at LCC? For instance do you think the classified staff employees are paid too little. too much, or adequately? Since you might be negotiating with the classified union, please comment on this subject, and any other bargaining issues you see as important. Martin: "The difficulty is I'm not certain what a person can legitimately say as an existing member of the Board because we are already in labor negotiations ... so let me just be very naive and answer the question directly .. .l think the classified staff. by and large, are paid too little and I think they should be receiving the same kinds of fringe benefits as the other members of the campus community. Which, of course, if you looked into it, I am sure you are aware they aren't." Curry: "Before I would answer the first part of the question I would like to talk to the classified staff to find out how they feel about how they're paid ... and to get their input in terms of their concerns, and how they are feeling about how they're paid in relation to other classified staff, and I'm not about to say whether they're paid too much, or too little, or just right, without hearing them."

Moore: "I would feel that the salaries and wages should be comparable with that which is based on other community • colleges in the state." Q. To all candidates: Do you think public employees should have the right to strike? Martin: .. Yes, other than public employees in a position where it could cause danger to someone's life. I think public employees would have the same rights as other members in employment in this country." Curry: '"Yes, I do. I've been in favor of collective bargaining for public employees for a hell of a lone time.·· Tripp: "Yes. Let me qualify that ... if they come under an organization ruling that entitles them to strike.·' Moore: "Limited to school (employees), yes. But not police. Where public safety is involved, that involves other concerns." Q. To all candidates: Do you favor open negotiating sessions? Martin: "Yes, absolutely. I was really disappointed that the Board didn't vote in favor of having open negotiations.'' Curry: "Obviously you can't do certain things in terms of collective bargaining that the law says you can't do. I'm always in favor of public sessions when they are legal. Some things are reasonable to do in closed session or executive session. but, by and Ia.~ge. I am for the Open Meeting Law ... Tripp: "No." Moore: "No, I don't." • Q. To Jim Martin: In general, I want to know what Mr. Martin feels about Board of Education conduct. In October of 1975, when he was on the Board, the Board members passed a Code of Conduct Polley [Policy 1510] affecting each member's behavior. At the several Board meetings I've attended since that date I've noticed that Mr. Martin violates the very policy he helped establish. Has he ever met in private with employees and other people with special interests? Paragraph Six of the Code of Conduct [Ed. note: Paragraph Six reads "Refuse to participate in 'secret' or 'star chamber' meetings which are not official "star chamber" meetings, or other and which all members do not have the opportunity to attend] clearly states that he should not do so. It is my impression that Mr. Martin met and frequently planned strategy with KLCC volunteers and a paid staff member while the KLCC issue was a very controversial issue before the Board.

I finally got hold of the dispatcher, and the way he explained it was that 'the load had shifted.·" Colvin finished, laughing. The -two 65 feet long tanks, now imbedded in a hugh mound on the east side of the campus, are one of the three major elements in the recently completed $295.000 system designed by Marquess Engineering of Springfield. The tanks store heated water at night-at 160 degrees centigrade-and release the stored heat when it is needed during the day. "With the new system, we can let the buildings cool off at night. Before, it was too expensive to heat them up again in the morning.·' Colvin said. The LCC campus is heated and cooled by an all electrical system. A new computer. the second major element. is now responsible for directing heat and refrigeration to all LCC buildings. Temperature sensors located in many different places in each building are connected to the computer. Messages sent from the sensors to the computer automatically adjust room temperature. Computer monitoring results in less waste of both electrical and human energy. Colvin said. The final part of the new system is a heat recovery unit that receives hot and cold water coming back from all parts of the Horoscope to return Tripp: "I feel they are under-paid. I couldn't say about all (classified staff), but I know the clerical staff is under-paid." campus. Because it has been doing its job-heating and cooling the buildingsthe returning hot water is colder than it should be, and the returning cold water is warmer. The new recovery unit does just that; it recovers the excess heat from the cold water, making it as cold as it should be, and puts that heat into the hot water. The heat recovery unit requires less electricity to heat water than the boiler does. and less to cool it than the refrigeration plant. '• It wastes a lot less." said Colvin. "It (the whole new system of storage tanks, computer, and heat recovery unit) seems to be working already," Colvin said. "We were using 3,000 kilowatts at our peak demand this time last year. and it's down by half, to 1,500." LCC's electrical usage is billed by EWEB in two different ways-total consumption, like the homeowner's monthly bill, and peak demand, which is the highest amount of electricity used by the school at any one time. "In order to have energy available for the peak periods, EWEB has to carry that much electricity all the time, so we get billed for it," Colvin explained. The new energy system will cut down both on consumption and peak demand at LCC,reducing the college's electric bill and conserving energy. "Most people said those tanks couldn't be moved," said Colvin. "and I think they were right." But in spite of torn-out overpasses, continually blown-out tires, and detours, the storage tanks are here, and it looks like they're worth the effort.

The facts are that the Code of Conduct has been in effect in Board policy long before I was ever on the Board. I don't see where, _given the information that the questioner presented, there is any violation of anything, including the code of ethics. My intent of being on the Board is to meet with any group of citizens that have any input for the school, and whether its KLCC staff members or if its instructors or members of the community that are interested in getting_ a class started. I had a gentleman call me about the EMT class over the telephone--none of that's improper. In fact, I think that's the proper role for a member of the Board to play; to go out and get input from the public." Q. To Jim Martin: At~ Bo~rd meet~g two months ago he suggested that raw data about class "success" rates be used to determine the effectiveness of Instructors. Yet in last week's TORCH he was quoted as saying that he thought there were too many educators on the Board, and that he could give a balance. He obviously knows little about raw data and their interpretation. Does he really think this is balance? Martin: ''The best answer I can give to this question is I feel I have a pretty high level of awareness of the intended use of raw data and I'm glad whoever ... attended the Board meeting ... was paying attention. I don't think raw data should be used to det'ermine an instructor's effectiveness.''

ROBERTSON' DRUGS -------------TOR page 4 Solar energy display visits campus by Cheri Shirts Solar I was parked outside Forum 301 Monday and Tuesday this week attracting plenty of attention. Solar I is a "motorhome" owned b_y Ed Walkingstik, a guest lecturer at LCC. He brought his camper to illustrate the effective use of solar energy in his hand-built home on wheels. Walkingstik says he built his camper out of necessity. "It costs the average household between $300 and $700 a year for hot water and heating ... I simply can't affford that." He pointed to his stomach and added, "This is where I need to put that money ... l had to cut bills ... no other water /heating system pays its own way." Walkingstik built Solar I. He dug the truck body out of field and started from scratch. "It took 2 _years _of 15 hour days to build the camper, and 17,000 screws ... system is that it works on overcast days. Everything in the camper is recycled. When it is cloudy, the longer, weaker, but junk ... everything is ha~d fitted," said steadier infrared rays penetrate both the Walkingstik. "I even converted some clouds and the glass in the collector; while gauges from a B-29 Bomber to measure the the shorter, hotter but less dependable ultraviolet rays are blocked out. The totally solar power.'' Solar I contains 1,000 feet of copper closed system uses recycled beer kegs for tubing. Walkingstik built parellel pipe storage tanks. flat-plate collectors. The water circulates ''The first real mistake I made was through the pipes via a thermal siphon trying to make it too complex (Solar I); if it system. The ~dvantage of the flat-plate doesn't buzz, whir, and click, it isn't complicated enough in this society of ours ... I found simplicity is the answer." Walkingstik believes oil and utility companies are keeping Americans ignorant of what solar power can do for them. He says, "People have been politically toilet trained ... " ,,; .~ ~~tft.J ~~ . Wa_lkingstik's interest in solar energy began as a child growing up on an Indian reservation in Oklahoma. He said, "I can remember running across the black-topped road, probably the only black-topped highway in Oklahoma in the '30's ... the road burned my feet .. .I can remember thinking then, there must be some other use for that heat other than to burn my feet ... it has been in the back of my mind since then. I started tinkering with it about 25 years ago. seriously ... nobody listened." photo by-Steve Thompson People listen now as he tells them, "I can quote directly the International Solar Energy Society when I say that in Eugene, Oregon, 69 per cent of this area's heating needs can be supplied by solar energy ... '' and he adds, "That's 2/3 of your utility bill." Walkingstik doesn't get paid for his lecture series; he collects a small disability pension. He has travelled 70,000 miles since last May. When asked why. he says. "I'm tired of hearing people talking about doing it (using solar energy); I'm doing it, and I want to tell people about it, and show them that it can be done."
