against daycare

hearing delay
by Shelley Deneau
Two hundred children and adults
marched ori U of O's campus Tuesday to
protest the denial of the child-care bill
legislative hearing.
House bill 2459, designed to assist
parents wishing to attend institutions of
post secondary education, is still being
stalled in committee.
According to a spokesperson for the
Legal Fiscal Office in Salem the bill has
been assigned to a Ways and Means
Subcommittee, which is the next step to
holding a hearing. Legislators supportive
of HB2459 have met before the subcommittee but as yet no public hearing · has
been scheduled.
The Associated Students of the U
of O is organizing a trip to Salem today at
11 a.m. in order to hold a demonstration
of interest to convince legislators to
continue support of this bill. Interested
people should call 686-3724 to make
arrangements for transportation.
Tom Towslee, administrative assistant
to Sen. Jack Ripper, the co-chairperson of
the Joint Ways and Means committee,
told the TORCH yesterday, ''Jack is
waiting for all • sub-committees to finish
the agencies' budgets of existing •state
agencies since this is the state's number
one financial obligation. Afterwards, 150
to 200 new bills can be dealt with in a
couple of weeks."
According to Jim Burnell, staff member
of the Oregon Student Lobby at the U of
0, if the hearing doesn't 'come soon the
state's budget will already be spent.
Phone calls to Salem have started with
renewed spirit this week in hgpes of ·
getting a hearing before this happens, he
said.
Burnell said, '' Apparently the co-chairpersons • don't recognized the economic
benefits. Presently the state spends
millions on child-care for the working
poor. With this legislation parents -especially single parents -- will be able to
move to professional fields."

Recycling program in Peril
by Kathy Cummings
ASLCC' s paper recycling program may
have an uncertain future, according to
Ralph Dolan, manager of the Northwest
Recycling Company (NRC).
The paper recycling program was
started in early September by the Student
Resource Center (SRC) in hopes of both
raising ·money and saving a resource.
Michael Hagan, coordinator of the
recycling program, hasn't been available
. for comment and suddenly resigned
last week. · No one at the SRC knows
about the program, said Steve Larson,
who will fill the open position.
Dolan said the arrangement was that
the SRC would purchase 20 recycling
barrels (at $3.50 a piece) from the NRC.
In turn, the SRC would be paid for any
paper given to NRC for recycling. With
white paper going for $40 a ton, colored
paper for $35 a ton, and newspaper for
$15 a ton, the SRC was expected to
quickly pay off the cost of the barrels and
to make a profit within a short period of
time.
"We were thinking in terms of $150 amonth (profit for the SRC); so far it's
only produced $56 in six months,''
continued Dolan. ''The barrels,'' he
said, "are not yet paid for."
Up to this week it was Michael
Hagan's job to make sure the barrels
{)•~were placed throughout LCC where they
would be accessible to offices and
students. When the barrels were full he Four of the 20 white cardboard recycling barrels sit in the back of the Student

LCC receives award for energy saving system

by Linda Mooney
Last Thursday Governor Bob Straub
presented LCC with the Governor's
Energy Conservation Award in ceremonies in his office in Salem.
Last week's presentation, according
to Susan Shepard, College/Community
Relations, was the first time the state
has presented the award for significant
contributions to energy savings.
LCC was selected for the award for

its 30 percent saving of energy over
the past three years as a result of its
energy management program. Over
4,000 kilowatts of electricity have been
saved over the three year period,
according to the Eugene Water and
Electric Board, which nominated LCC
for this honor.

The college received a plaque and a
letter of citation. Clayton Anderson,

community conservation outreach director of the Oregon Department of
Energy ~aid four others were honored
at the presentation--Techtronics in
Beaverton, two private individuals and
a Portland church.

LCC President Eldon Schafer and
Tony Birch, director of business operations at LCC, traveled to Salem to
accept the award.

Romoser wiris OEA post
by Paul Yarnold
"In institutions where the principle
function is to teach . . . every effort is
being made to keep teachers from
(having) an effective voice in educational
decisions,'' said Language Arts instructor
Ted Romoser, who was elected President
of the Oregon Education Association last
week.
Romoser will serve as President-elect
during the 1977 1978 school year, while
maintaing his full-time responsibilities as
an instructor at LCC. As President-elect,
he will learn the ropes in preparation for
his term of active presidency during the
1978-1979 school year.
Concerned with Measure 1
Romoser' s chief concern initially is the
passage of Ballot Measure 1, Governor -

Straub's "safety net" proposal, which
would improve state financing for public
education. But he does not feel that
money alone will do the job. '
"It is my basic belief that teachers·
have the right, the intelligence, and the
power to be one of the primary influences
on making education better . . . and to
define their own careers and employment
possiblities," Romoser said, elaborating
on the direction he would like to see the
OEA take.
Teachers rights obstructed
He points to teacher training programs
as being one reason that instructors fail
to assert their ideas. · "(The programs) do
not deal with ... what your rights are as a
teacher,'' said Romoser. He f~els that

training teachers does not involve enough
exposure to ''the political realities of the
real world-what you can and cannot
teach.''
Romoser also plans to do what he can
to help part-time instructors achieve fair
bargaining power, and a more secure
home at LCC.
Assist part-time t~achers
"Part-time teachers are ripped-off,"
said Romoser. "They work (more) time
than they're contracted for, and paid less
proportionately than full-time (instructors)."
Experience is an important tool that
Romoser will utilize in his new role. He
has served as ~n OEA representative for
the LCC chapter, and as chairman of the
0 EA National Committee.

Robert Carson
Opinion selected by Jeff Hayden
from In These Times

Corporate welfare: the real cheaters
put poor people to shame
In one of its occasional self-conscious
gestures to a progressive depiction of the
news, the New York Times breathlessly
reported a couple of Sundays ago that
"the government subsidi?-es almost everything." Rather ingenuously the Times reporter focused on the extraordinary cash,
hedit, tax and in-kind subsidies that go to
corporations and upper-income Americans. Of course, the article made no specific conclusions but the implications were
obvious: the rich and the corporations actually receive welfare payments.
Now everyone with the slightest radical
perspective of American ~qx>rate capitalism knows very well that we have a dual
welfare,system in the U.S. The old saw
that in America we have free ~nterprise
and the poor and welfare for the rich is a
hackneyed left cliche. However, the significance of this generali7.ation in a literal sense is not completely understood. In
fact, as I reached for some statistical
source materials and my pocket calculat(>r to ch~k the Tunes data, I was unsureo( th~ . re~"' magnit_ude ..and. the recent
weµare
~~'!~}n ~e growing.pp
for µie poor .and welfare ·for corporate
America. The evidence I found surprised
even me.
..
Sllall fractial ID people 1111d.
First, social welfare subsidies are a very
small fraction of total government subsidies paid under ~ur dual welfare program.
Not including social security, unemployment payments and medicare, which
are all paid by ·federal, state, and local
governments to needy people totaled $33.6
billion. This was only one-third as large
as the $96.~ billion paid by the federal
government alone in cash, credit, tax and
in-kind subsidies to corporations and the
no...-poor. Corporate America's welfare.
income, of course, would be even greater if we could accurate'y determine the
dollar value of state and local tax and
cash credits given to entice, coddle and
support business and the well-to-do.

Here's how our "welfare" systems
looked in .1975:

was as much embarrassment over the matter at the Justice department as in Detroit.

Transfers to corporations and the non-poor
by the federal gowemment (in billions):

people against-people.
A third characteristic of our welfarism is
that it is politically devised and fiscally
administered so as to confuse tax payers
on the benefits of corPQrate welfare and
enrage them abo~t grants to the poor. Invariably, cash, tax, credit and in-kind subsidies are presented as having direct economic benefits to the whole economy.
Transfers to businesses create jobs. Loans
k> college students or the refinancing of
New York's bonds are good investments.
Tax breaks to middle and upper income
homeowners stimulate consumption. And
soon.
Meanwhile, social transfers to the poor
are seen as unpr0_9uctive even though it is
obvious that the poor do not exchange
their "gifts" among each other. In fact,
the fastest growing of all the poverty
transfer programs have been those
where the poor have merely been a conduit for transfering funds directly to hospitals, doctors, landlords, grocery stores,
or franchised school lunch operators. All
payments to the poor are subsidies of
corporate capital in the long run.
By administering social welfare programs with joint federal/state/local responsibility, this part of the dual welfare
system gets special tax payer scrutiny. At
least one-third of social welfare transfers
are paid out of state and local funds.
Those states and localities least able to
pay are of course called uwn to make
•
the greatest outlays.
Moreover, federal aid ratios in most
programs are contrived so that the federal
government pays absolutely larger shares
of the welfare cost the smaller the state's
actual contribution to welfare. As a result Indiana receives only about half the
per capita federal welfare aid that Texas
does ($55 versus $100 per capita for all
state residents). This, even though both
states have about the same per capita income and Indiana's economic situation

"weffale'' is pwiq.
A second characteristic of our dual welfare system is that transfers to corporate
America are growing faster than those to
the poor-even though poverty is growing in America. Between 1974 and 1975
tax subsidies ·10 business and upper income groups increased by $7 billion or 14
percent while AFDC payments grew by
only $600 million or 7 percent. Given the
dimensions and th~ trend in our_two welfare operations, the J,itter irony of Carter's rhetoric about those abusing welfare
privileges or HEW chief Califano's decision to employ FBI agents to track
down welfare cheaters cannot be missed.

The double welfare stal)dard and the

lack of official interest in finding the Boo-

nies and Clydes of the corporate welfare
roles was particularly -apparent several
weeks ago when it was revealed that GM
had regubu-ly been cheating on its tax subsidy benefits by writing off plant and
employment that didn't even exist. There

(as measured in unemployment) is about
twice as bad as that in Texas.
The les.,on is obvious: to get more federal aid to pay welfare costs, a state is
ahead if it lowers its own contributions.
The lesson is quickly being learned by
earlier "paradises" of welfare benevolence-nothern and mid-western states
now in serious fiscal crises.
As a result, upstate New York and
Long Island suburbanites can undertake
"taxpayer revolts" by reducing welfare
support for the decaying rural and innercity places in New York State. 'they cannot, however, effectively revolt against
"welfare" for Lockheed Aircraft Corporation in Marietta, Ga., even though
they must pay for it without receiving
any benefits.
By making poor people a largely locaJ
problem and poor business a national one
and by creating fiscal incentives for local
welfare "thrift,,, while setting the corporate welfare budget beyond effective democratic review, our dual welfare system
moves steadily toward greater corporate
subsidy and less humane provisions for
people.
welfare reform.
Welfare reform was a plank in the Carter platform and has long been a rhetorical ploy in Washington, but there is presently little movement toward reconstructing the welfare system. In fact, Carter
has admitted that this is not high on his
present agenda, nor does it rank very
highly with Congress. From the above
data, the reasons should be obvious.
"Welfare" in its broadest meaning of
income redistribution really doesn't
need to be reformed. Our dual welfare
system works out just fine from the perspective of corporate capital. Thus we
will continue to see Washington chase
after little cheats rather than open the
whole question of who should get what
subsidies in America.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
citizens is now going on. The survivors
of this continuing purge, cringing in
horror, are being forcibly driven from
their homes in the nationwide evacuation
of the cities, and are being reduced to a
force of slave laborers. Also their culture
is being destroyed in every way possible,
including the burning of books.
I don't know the reason why Hayden
doesn't address the situation in Cambodia. Possibly he is as insensitive as
yesterday's footprints or maybe he is
blissfully unaware of their problems.
Maybe he thinks the people being
slaughtered there are all unemployed and
therefore are not part of the "Workers'
Struggle."
I make this challange, THIS DEMAND,
that Jeff Hayden stops his apparent
censorship of the plight of the Cambodian
people in the grip of a Communist
totalitarian dictatorship, and· use the
valuable space that he is allowed in the
TORCH to enlighten us all on what is
going on in Cambodia.
Steven R. Myers
To the Editor:
Reference is made to the news item
and advertisement in the TORCH that

Father Dieringer (Catholic) and Chaplain
Norm Metzler (Protestant) are available
in the LCC cafeteria to counsel students.
Why is this necessary considering LCC
has a staff of 17 professionally trained
counselors to advise LCC students on all
types of problems: academics, financial ,
interpersonal relations, marriage, sex,
career planning, employment, etc. etc.?

If counseling continues by Catholic and
Protestant prelates, then the LCC campus
will have to accommodate all other
religious and/ or ethical officials that want
to counsel students: representatives from
Jews - Mos le ms - Sikhs - Hindus Bhuddists - all the mystical Mid-East
religions including Harl Krishna - Christain Scientists - Mormons - iehovah's
witnesses, "Moonies," agnostics, ad
finitum.
How would this affect the climate of
free, intellectual inquiry and reasoning in
academic pursuits at LCC?
Let's stop violating the mandate of our
constitution for separation of church and
state - so each institution can tolerate the
other without trespasses.

Editorial: 11dity

The TORCH has heard from a few
readers who were offended by two recent
advertisements--the YOU Unlimited ad,
which used the word "bullshit,'~ and the
public service ad for the Student Health
Service, which displayed a cartoon drawing of a naked family.
Decisions about publishing any possibly
controverisal material are made by the
paper's editorial and management staff,
in weekly staff meetings.
The YOU Unlimited ad was discussed
for perhaps 30 minutes. The consensus
of the staff was that the ad was
ineffective for its own purposes (it
counselled the reader not to believe what
it said), but that the ad was not too
offensive to oublish. It was a2reed that
••bullshit" is in f~irly common usage in
an segments of the college community.
The Student Health Service ad was not
discussed at all-it did not occur to the
staff that anyone would object to the
nudity.
The line of demarcation between what
should and should not be published is
hazy. Even the United States Supreme
Court is not definitive on this issue.
••comtemporary community standards'' is
somewhat less than clear as a measure of
worth; which community, and whose
standards are we talking about?
Is it appropriate to quote in a news
story someone using a word that could be
called obscene? The TORCH did so
;artier in the year and received no
adverse reaction. H such words are not
quoted, is the reader being given a fair
and accurate picture of the individual or
the scene?
And if there is some merit in quoting
••questionable" language to give the
reader a sense of what really happened,
then is such language out of place in a
paid advertisement? There is no question
that what the dictionary calls "vulgar
slang" offends some people; the word
.. broad" offends many women, but until
recently it was used routinely, and most
journalists would not delete "broad"
from a quotation.
The line, as we said before, is hazy.
An informal poll of the seven members of
the LCC Board of Education revealed th-at
six did not find either the word or the
drawing offensive. One member thought

Commentary

Alternative energy needed now
by Paul Yarnold
Winter has been tough from coast to coast this year. We watched helplessly while a
few of our families froze to death in their "Gas is Best" Midwestern homes. We
watched as others lost their homes, unable to afford a $350 electric bill on top of an
already inflated mortgage payment.
President Carter addressed the '• ener_g_y crunch'' on national TV last week, which
was followed up by a Harris Poll sponsored by Newsweek magazine. 54 per cent of
those questioned agreed with Carter on the serious nature of the energy situation, and
felt that a solution will not be found without economic hardship for most of us.
Though we indubitably disagree with each other on which energy t~ use
immediately--we now know that alternative energy must be developed. Accordmg to
the survey, 59 per cent of the people questioned feel Carter is putting too much
emphasis on energy conservation, and not enough punch into a research and
development scheme.
While conservation may be vital in the short run, we must be sensitive to the "red
herring'' features that this stance makes possible. The_ national gov_ernment ~nd its
newest energy commission headed ~y James Schlesi~ger has failed to give the
needed push for a united research effort. Generating new sources of energy can no
. .
longer be directed solely by private industry.
More than one expert in the energy field has suggested that we are wtthm reach of
producing abundant solar energy and that with additional research we would be able
to produce nuclear energy by a "fusion" process. This method produces less
radioactive waste then the "fission" method now in operation.
Carter's proposed legislation would penalize luxury car owners and increase pri~s
at the gas pump--and may generate sizable revenue. B~t u~less the money 1s
channelled into research and development, we are merely buymg time.
Though some individuals may feel that such governmental action is in~nsistent with
our free enterprise system, without it we will soon be grinding to a halt without grease
.
.to free the wheels.
If the recent Harris Poll is a true reflection of the feeli~gs of the Amencan _people, a
mandate exists in support of broadening our energy- options. New innovation cries out
to be implemented and corporate profit margins must take a back seat in comparison
__
with the threat of runnin_g out of fuel.
We might not freeze in front of our TV sets next winter, ~u_t we. will surely
suffer as a nation if the well is left to run dry. . .whether we are dnvmg Datsuns or El
Dorados.

The unassembled antenna is part of LCC's new microwave transmitter.

by Ronald Robbins
Lane Community College has purchaseC: a $196,000 microwave radio system for
approximately $7,000, according to Howard Bird. LCC's excess property officer.
In 1974 the U.S. government purchased
a microwave relay system to be installed
in the Republic of Laos but before the
equipment was delivered the Laotian
government fell to the Communists. Bird
said the equipment was stopped in San
Francisco and later declared excess
property.
Keith Harker, director of the Learning
Resources Division, says two possible
uses are being considered. First, the
system may be used to televise lectures
and other classroom activities to the
college's other campus in Florence; a
second possibility is to provide a TV link

colleges in the Willamette Valley.
Harker said LCC has considered a TV
classroom in Florence since 1969, but
lacked the microwave equipment. Those
early plans provided substantial justification for purchasing this microwave system. stated Howard Bird. An added
benefit is the system is compatible with

the signal for another 35 to 40 mile

ABE/HSC still trying to unionize
by Keith E. Young
Unionization of the Adult Basic Education (ABE) and High School Completion
( HSC) Faculty is grinding its way through
the bureaucratic process.
A petition for voluntary recognition of
the proposed union, filed by HSC and
ABE Faculty on January 12, was turned
down by the LCC Board of Education. A
hearing was then held before the State
Employee Relations Board on February 3
in accordance with state law. The audio
tapes of the LCC meeting are now being
transcribed. The TORCH contacted Roy

countryside.
Well, you can start rummagin 6 around
for your old softball mitt or hiking boots,
because the Health and Physical Education Department is offering nine new
sections of PE classes which will cover
the last five weeks of the term.
The classes, which start May 2, include

plus intermediate tennis. All dasses will

Edwards, the. director of ERB, who said
the transcriptions of the tapes will be
reviewed by Christine Herrick, case
officer for this hearing. Herrick will
ultimately write a proposal on the issue.
ABE, HSC, and the LCC Board of
Education will then have 10 days to raise
objections to the proposals. Then the
State Board of Objections will make a

Edwards said that due to the heavy case

Meanwhile, the ABE and HSC faculty
members will continue iudividual negotiations for pay and the hours they teach.
Their objections and constructive ideas
will have no formal outlet; they do not
receive benefits such as insurance availab le through LCC. According to one
ABE instructor, these conditions mate for
feelings of insecurity among some of the
ABE faculty.

Barefoot is better
(CPS)--Baring your feet to the elements may be healthier than wearing
shoes.
Paul W. Brand, MD, recently told the
American College of Surgeons that although shoes may sometimes protect the
feet from accidental injury, poorly designed or fitted models can cause fatigue,
fractures, and soft tissue inflammation.
''Children just learning to walk should
go barefoot instead , " he added. He
explained that walking barefoot helps
them develop better muscle control.
''There is a sense of aliveness and joy
walking barefoot that I never get in
shoes,'' Dr. Brand concluded.
