Board a«!«!epts $ l million grant

College builds P.E. complex
by Sally Oljar
Although money is still unavailable for
an LCC swimming pool facility, the federal
government finally came through this
month with a $1 million grant to LCC for
the first phase of construction on the long
awaited Health and PAE. complex.
Construction is scheduled to begin on
Nov. 30. The building will include offices,
classrooms, weight rooms and the combatives area. But the grant does not cover
construction of the swimming pool, handball courts, or dance studio which are part
of the total design of the P. E. facility.
And any costs over $1 million on the
new structure have to be paid for by the
Institutional Research and
college.
Planning Director Paul Colvin estimates
this to be about $Q~.000 of uncommitted
construction fund" from the college
budget.
But at the same Board meeting two
weeks ago, the Board vacillated over the
restoration or destruction of the aging store
building at Chri,tcnsen's Resort on
Siltcoos Lake. A, Board member Edward
Cooper pointed out. "We'll spend money
either way. Let\, put it into something

ABE/HSC faculty
join contract

negotiations
by Sally Oljar

Forty-two members of the Adult Basic
Education/High School Completion department will add theh own contract
proposal at the bargaining table this fall.
Although forming their own labor organization, the ABE/HSC teachers will ask the
LCC Education Association [LCCEA] to
represent the group.
Spokesperson Vicki Reed would not be
specific about what the proposal called for,
but told the TORCH it included a "general
upgrading of the department" and benefits
similar to those of other faculty members.
The LCC college faculty is represented by
the LCCEA, and the classified employees
by the LCC Employees Federation. Until
this summer the Adult Educatlon/HSC
employees weren't represented by either
group.
"We feel that our program has been
kind of short.changed, implying that It's
less important. We believe it deserves its
due," Reed said.
Last winter the teachers submitted a
petition \_o the LCC Board asking for
recognitiol of their rights to bargain under
Oregon collective bargaining law with the
LCC Board of Education. The Board
refused to recognize the group and opted to
have the case heard in front of the state
Employment Relations Board [ERB].
In June ERB returned its decision in
favor of ABE/HSC members. The Doud
decided against appealing the decision and
voluntarily recognized the new bargaining
unit.
The group's decision was unanimous to
be represented by the LCCEA, under the
auspices of the Oregon Education Assoclatfon and the National Education Association.

by the Science department. Academic and
College Planning Director Lew Case told
the Board that a minimal amount of money
would be needed to make these buildings
safe for Science department use.
It would cost the college approximately
$3,000 to tear the building down, Case
said. He suggested that the Board could
seek cooperation from interested citizens in
the resort area to help finance restoration.
Board member Steven Reid said he had
"strong reservations" about using college
money for restoration, pointing out that it
wasn't the college's role. Chairwoman
Catherine Lauris countered, saying that if
the resort were used for community
assembly it could be considered an
educational use. She suggested that the
Board "keep its options open for awhile."
The Board also approved $3,000 in
expenditures for the new Downtown
Center, which it voted to name the "LCC
Downtown Center." Another $3,000 was
approved to finish construction on the
portable buildings outside of the Apprenticeship Building.
In other business, the Board voted to:
Elect former radio instructor Tom Lichty
to the KLCC Advisory Committee.
Appoint Lester Zook and Richard
Charter to the LCC Budget Committee.
Zook was nominated by Board member
Lynn Moore and Charters by Richard
Freeman.

CETA. program may lose fundin1i
by Sally Oljar
Thirty-one CETA jobs will be lost to LCC
employees on Oct. 1 unless more Federal
dollars are pumped into LCC coffers, the
LCC Board of Education learned this
month.
Title II is the original CET A program
outlined by Congress to create jobs for
"public service employees." There are 25
persons in this phase of the program at
LCC. Personnel Director Hank Doud a
"alerted" Ceta Title II employees that
their positions may be termi.n ated.
LCC-CETA liason officer Joe DeLaPinea
told Douda that if termination of the CETA
staff was necessary, the county CET A
program may pick up salaries from the date
the termination notices were sent.
DeLaPinea told Douda that ''there was
every possibility that most, if not all,
positions could be funded.•' CETA
representative Peggy Stevenson also says
that LCC will receive more Title II basic
money.
But both Dean of Business Operations
'(ony Birch and Douda say that there has
been nothing on paper to confirm these
statements.
In a memorandum to LCC President
Eldon Schafer, Birch said, "The expectations they created for funds greatly
exceeded apparently what they had . . .
They (CETA) kept telling us all along we
were in much better shape for funding."
CETA employees are under the same
contract requirements as the rest of the
classified staff (non-faculty employees).
Under the existing contract they must be
given two weeks notice before termination.
Out of the 36 federally funded CETA
positions in 1976-1977, 18 have been
absorbed in the college's general budget.
The more positions that can be absorbed

will increase the percentage of funding for
the Title ·II Basic program in the future.
In addition to the Title II Basic Program,
three others were developed by Congress
to make up the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act. Each was
designed to help relieve widespread
unemployment across the nation. But now
all of LCC's programs will be affected by
the shortage of funds for the programs.
•The Emergency Unemployment Act,,
called Title VI by the CET A program,
created jobs not based specifically on
public service employment. Fourteen
employees from 31 original positions in this
program at LCC have been sent termination notices. LCC Personnel Director Hank
Douda said that 16 or 17 of the original will
continue to be funded.
The two additional programs at LCC,
Title II Add-On and Title VI Add-On will
also be affected. These programs were
instituted to create more jobs and funding
than the original two programs provided
for.
The college requested 14 positions in the
Title II Add-On program and 18 in the Title
IV Add-On program.
• But only two positions were funded for
Title II; jewelry and social science lab
assistants. And Birch complains that these
positions were the lowest in the college's
priority list'. He had hoped for funding for
· maintenance staff positions at the LCC
Downtown Center.
• Four positions were funded for the Title
VI Add-On program. These are for KLCC,
radio, the Women's Awareness Center,
Student Health Services, and Adult Basic
Education.
According to Stevenson, the CETA
Advisory Committee makes recommendations as to which positions should be
funded. The committee looks at specific

employment opportunities at the techn :al
level and the possibility of CETA fun ~d
jobs leading to permanent employemt 1t.
Stevenson says that 400 Lane Cou ty
agencies have requested CETA fund1'lg
this year, but that only 120 of th e ~e
requests could be granted. If spec;:'ic
positions under the program can't be filled,
the money may be reallocated to employable positions. Congress allocated $12
million nationally for the CETA program
and Stevenson believes that more will oe
forthcoming should it be necess ary .

Is student government worth $40,000?
by Paul Yarnold
TORCH Associate Editor
Governments at any level depend on
money and the support of its citizens. They
are either corrupted, or frustrated in
non-action if the support of those citizens
erodes.
The ASLCC is no exception. But where
is the support? Where is the money?
Last summer the LCC Board voted to
limit strictly the financial autonomy of the
ASLCC, much to the astonishment of
student President Tom Ruckman who had
submitted a proposed ASLCC budget in
excess of $40,000 for the coming year.
The ASLCC proposal was not Clfficially
considered by the Board. Instead, the
students were budgeted $1,700 to cover
travel and office costs incurred by the
ASLCC officers. The Board also ruled that
future ASLCC programs must first be
approved by the Administration, then
approved by the student body in a
campus-wide election.
In reaction to the Board's decision, the
ASLCC officers -- including Ruckman and
Vice President John Miller -- have openly
contemplated resignation. At the moment
their philosophy is to ''hang tight, while
looking for a way to circumvent what they
term "an administrative ambush."
Among the issues under contention are
salaries for the elected ASLCC officers and
a full-time secretary, and the approval
process for any upcoming ASLCC programs.
At one time in the student government's
history it doled out over $120,000 worth of
student fee money to different student
groups and services -- including the
TORCH, athletics, and the health service
(all agencies which also receive funding
from the co11ege general fund). Over the
last three years, however, that power has
been stripped from the ASLCC, and now
the student officers are saving that even

their own budget will be -Administration
controlled.
Should Ruckman and Miller quit? Yes.
Why? This editorial analysis hinges on
three basic questions and answers.
•Do students want a student government
-- a token voice -- in the administration of
LCC? They don't.
When elections were held last May, less
than 300 .students voted, despite Ruckman
and Miller's spirited campaign.
Although the ASLCC sold student body
cards last year in an effort to raise some
voluntary funding, it was only able to sell
about 500 of them. Though the card
enabled students to receive free legal aid,
the service was used and abused by
students who refused to purchase the card:
Thus, the program struggled merely to
break even.
How eager the Administration is to
:retain representative student government
(in form rather than in substance) is
doubtful -- in light of its eagerness to
•
monitor ASLCC funds.
Ruckman and Miller feel that students
are entitled to representation; but the fact
is not one student feels strongly enough
about the ASLCC' s plight to respond to the
Administration via the TORCH's editorial
page.
•Does the college Administration want a
representative student governll!..ent
It is my distinct impression that it would
prefer a student activities coordination
center, (although the illusion of representation ·c an be useful in the hands of a
skillful administrator).
Putting one's mQney where one's mouth
is, is the case here. The Administration
has done just that.
And I must sympathize with its decision
on an economic basis, because as an
ASLCC student I feel no need for $40,000
worth of representation. As a taxpayer, I
am already helping to pay college
administrative salaries. As a taxpayer I am
already represented in this fashion. Any
gripes I have will be directed their way.
• Are Ruckman and Miller right for the
job? No.
Why? They believe in student government. But unfortunately, these two men
are intensely interested in representing
10,000 students who are not intensely
interested in anything the ASLCC does or
does not do.
• Though I share Ruckman and Miller's
eagerness to see that LCC students get a
fair shake, I do not share their view that an
independent student government would
make a significant contribution. Ruckman
and Miller might make good lobbyists or
labor organizers, but they'd make a pretty
frustrated pair of figurehead representatives. And as ASLCC officers, little else is
in store for them.
As for you, the student body -- whether
you're part of a vocal minority or a silent
majority (or vice-versa) -- the TORCH
would like to hear from you. And here's a
closing image to ponder: Isn't it easier to
gather hungry people together in protest

Are students "cattle" at LCC?

To the Editor:
Are we cattle who come to LCC to feed at
the knowledge trough? Or are we
self-reliant men and women capable of
involving ourselves creatively in our
educational experience? .
At present, the medium for manifesting
our collective ideas, the Associated Students of LCC (ASLCC), is inoperative due
to lack of a program and funding. But if we
create a program, the Board of Education
may let us vote on assessing ourselves a
fee to support it.

Any ideas such as group legal services or a
student lounge will be entertained.
Students can make their ideas and
opinions known by phoning the ASLCC
officers (747-4501, extensions 220 and 221,
afternoons), leaving a message in the
suggestion box (located at the ASLCC
offices, 204 Center Building, across from
the counse1ling desk), or dropping by the
ASLCC offices at 2 p.m. in the afternoon·
between Sept. 29 and Oct. 5.

Such schemes as giving away bubble

the registration process have had an effect
on the faculty, as well as the students, Fast
says.
"We've noticed tremendous changes in
attitude among the faculty as a result of the
image change measures," Fast explains.
"For instance, Leland Halberg was one of
our instructors from the old, straight
school. He balked at our plans at first and
now he is one of the most creative in
coming up with ideas to attract and
welcome students.
"When things like this get going, people
want to participate because it is fun," he
insists.
All of the changes in the math
department have come about as a result of
departmental brainstorming sessions.
During these sessions, faculty must abide

rapid-fire, and there can be no criticism of
ideas," Fast explains. "I write every idea
on a chalk board •· sometimes we fill up six
of them -- and then we go back and pick the
best ideas."
•

For this fall term registration, the
brainstorming result is the use of a CB
radio to help answer student questions.
''We considered a telephone hotline but
with the CB craze we de~ided, why -n~t,"
Fast says.
He explains that since a faculty member
wasn ·t required to work the math table in
the new computer registration process, the
department decided to save money and
hire an aide. " When she can't answer a
question , she gets on the CB which is
located in the registration area and calls
the math department office base unit for an
answer. It saved me about six or seven
trips down to the gym (where registration
is located) in one day, and has really
speeded things up for some students," he
claims.
Even students in the LCC parking lot can
call the "2 + 2" handle and talk with the
math department.
"We did limit the transmission capacity
with a voitage regulator to the campus,''
Fast says, "so we're not interfering with
CB's on the freeway." He adds that while
the idea seemed a fun one, no one in the
department is a CB buff and "We're real
lousy with the terminology."
Fast has not spent much money on the
projects. "Out of a departmental budget of •
over $300,000, which serves about 500
full-time students, we only have spent
about $200," he explains. "And our
enrollment has increased as a result of the
expenditure enough to make up the
difference ."
The CB equipment is borrowed, and
some 24 t-shirts were purchased with the
intention of reusing them for other events.
''But they have gotten so popular on
campus we may have to start selling
them,"
Other departments at LCC are beginning
to venture into the marketing approach to
education. Last spring the science
department raffled off a free glider ride to
students signing up for science classes, ·
Fast says.
He enthusiastically endorses the concept
of marketing classes. ''The cost is minimal
compared with the return, people enjoy
what we are doing, -a nd I think the changes
make people feel more like human beings
and less like a number.
"I think people opposed to this sort of
thing are saying education shouldn't be

meaningful at the same time," he says
with conviction.
"I really believe in this stuff. We have
an ivory tower image that I want to change
to a more personable, approachable one,"
he says.

'Paris Spken,' 'Molly Bloom' excellent
by Jan Brown

Solitude is a time when one wrestles with
the demons that wage war upon the soul.
The French poet Charles Baudelaire
exorcised his demonic visions in prose, an
outlet for inner torment.
•
Michael Kevin Moore offers, on bended
knee, the essence of Baudelaire's torment
in the Oregon Repertory Theatre production of "Paris Spleen."
Solitude is also a time for irony, a
lighthearted refelction upon one's frustration, cloaked in fantasy. For me the
character Molly Bloom and her sexual
frustration was depicted as delightfully
raunchy fantasy. Randi Douglas as Molly
exercised her ability to tell the audience
something as if she had never said or
thought the words before in the Oregon
Repertory Theatre's production of "Molly
Bloom" which played along with "Paris
Spleen at the Atrium Building.
Douglas was Molly Bloom for our
pleasure. Her character is lighthearted
even if her plight is not. Molly has touch
with an earthy paradise, which she would
like to share.
In contrast, Baudelaire chose his solitude, yet found no relief from his crowded
mind. Baudelaire knew he was the cause
of his own suffering, he was in touch with
the thing that made him the man he was.
His were the fantasies of a being alienated,
divided, separated from Mother Earth, the
great goddess Shakti. ,
In their solitude each fantasized in their
own style, a union that would end their
~Joneness.
Molly conjured a future for herself from
the results she derived from card throwings, and interpretations of her night
dreams. While Baudelaire createa a
reality out of dreams induced and
enhanced by opium smoking.
The set for "Paris Spleen" was solemn
and dark, fitting for the agonized Baudelaire that Moore gave us.
Moments after Moore's stage entrance,
his face was flushed with perspiration, yet
the audience was taken in slowly, made to
laugh before suffering with his torments.
Moore's body movements were fluid. h
was as if he used his hands to suck the
audience into Baudelaire's tantalizing
fantasies ... Moore's brilliant blue eyes
were like flashlights, lighting the way into
the tunnel of the poet's dark soul. He
captured the schizophrenic range of
Baudelaire's moods. He painted a
heavenly vision before us, and th_en tore it
to shreds antl in its place created a dung
heap.
Moore's articulation was eloquent, and a
necessity for this dramatic monologue,
which Moore adapted for the stage from
Baudelaire's prose and poems.

Kickers boot PCC in opener

by John Healy

The men's soccer team opened its 1977
schedule with a 6-0 pre-season thrashing of
Portland Community College last Saturday
at LCC.
Right-winger George Trano poured .
through four goals to lead the Titan attack, •
which kept the Portlanders on the
•defensive throughout much of the game,
and Tony Roberts and Abdullah AI-Sudalrl
chipped in a goal apiece in support.
It was obvious from the opening seconds
of the match that the Titans offensive
efforts were well coordinated, as the hosts
scored two quick goals on close-in shots off
of a pin-point passing game.
All six returning lettermen from last
year's 11-3-1 team play on the Titans
forward lines, which explains why their
passing and execution are so far along this
early in the season, according to George
Gyorgyfalvy, men's soccer coach.
Lane took a 2-0 lead into the second half,
but quickly built it to 4-0 as first Trano and
then Roberts deftly picked up loose balls in
front of the PCC net and scored.
Trano broke the game wide open midway
through the second half as he converted
two successive breakaways into easy goals
within a one-minute span.

Although Gyorgyfalvy says he hasn't
had much time to work with his
defense.the Titans were able to repeatedly
blunt PCC's scoring efforts with an
aggressive, physical brand of defense.
_Led by Gene Mowery, they limited
Portland to half a dozen shots on the Titan
goal, few of which were high percentage
shots.
"We had only been practicing for a
week," said Gyorgyfalvy, "and I really
didn't know what to expect for this first
game, so I had to tailor the defense around
the strengths of my defensive players."
Gyorgyfalvy has 15 returning players
from last year's squad, in addition to seven
newly recruited freshmen - two of them
having been selected for the all-state high
school soccer team.
LCC, a member of the Oregon Intercollegiate Soccer Assn. (OISA), will be

Only two other community colleges in
Oregon will be fielding full women's
cross-country teams this fall - Clackamas
and Central Oregon - and Theriault sees
Clackamas as being the toughest opposition.
Official team practice began on the first
day of classes, but many of the women on
the team have been accumulating training
mileage throughout the summer.
"We have what I call a '40 mile club' for
our runners," said Theriault. "ff a runner
runs 40 miles in one week, she gets to wear
a team jersey in the meets; if she runs 40
miles per week for any 16 weeks of the
entire school year, she keeos her iersev."
Theriault hopes his system will help to
maintain interest and fitness during the
off-season separating cross-country and
track.
The women's team will be running their
meets in conjunction with the men's team,
so their first ''official'' conference meet
will be on October 8 in Coos Bay.

"We would have to be considered as
favored to win the OCC title again, since
we have Martin back, plus we have a lot of
depth and some promising freshmen to
back him," said Tarpenning, "although
Clackamas and Central Oregon should
challenge us for the title."
