ASLCC claims budget restores some student authority

Free student legal aid, support for a
student lobbying group, and a salary for
the student body president are three of 12
proposals up for Board of Education
scrutiny at its meeting Nov. 9. If the Board
approves the whole package prepared by
student government officers it could assess
the student body a total of $20,000 through
a proposed 15 cent per credit-hour formula.
The Board deferred action on the
proposal at its Oct. 12 meeting. But if it

12 point plan, the Board has said the
student body would have to approve the .
assessment in a college-wide vote.
ASLCC Vice-President John Miller has
stated that this proposed budget is very
necessary. He has called the current
ASLCC budget ''tokenism,'' due to
"Administration control." He has said
that four years ago the ASLCC controlled
all student fee budgets, including finances
for the TORCH, athletic programs, and
health services, but that in the past three
years ''the Administration has methodically stripped the ASLCC of all its power,
leaving the students with very little say

about where their money goes." The
proposed budget, he explained, will
restore some services and representation
to the students.
Asked to comment on his office's view of
the new proposal Dean of Students Jack
Carter stated there will be a proposal for
the students to vote on following the next
LCC Board of Education meeting, but
"Exactly what that will look like I can't say
right now.''
The Board has the option of approving
only selected ''appropriate'' items of the
total budget, according to Carter. "We

Each international student pays out
$544.80 per term just for admission, not to
mention an overall cost of living that can
exceed $5,000 a year in many cases, she

CETA federal funds have been used to

"So with the costs and the pressures,
this can be a forbidding place," she said.
She urges Ameican students to ''take the

I have international students tell me year

A demonstration of a laser transit system used in land surveying will be given at
Lane Community College on Thursday, Oct. 27. The newly-designed laser transit
system is one of only four such systems i.g existence.

Brad Kruger, Division of Engineering Chief·for the ~ureau of Land ~anaiement,
will demonstrate the-laser pole transit at 9:30 a.m. on the lawn area at the north end of
the Center Building on campus.
Kruger explains that the transit system consists of laser transmitter pole which
shoots a beam vertically into the sky. The beam is picked up by a theodolite (an
instrument for measuring angles) which is modified to sense the laser beam. The
system enables a direction to be established between two known corners despite
vegetation or topography. Without the new system, a direction can't be established

•The Title I program was instituted to
break down employment barriers and allow
participants the opportunity to gain
marketable skills, according to Jo Sturtevant, CETA liaison at LCC.
'' It has been determined that health
occupation skills are highly employable
skills in Lane County,'' she explains.
In addition to paying the instructor's
salary, the grant provides funds for tuition,
books, supplies, and uniforms for the
students. . Students also are paid a
minimum wage salary for enrolling in the
program.

Miller, however, has defended the ASLCC' s
position on that question by stating that in the past
ASLCC presidents have received salaries in addition
to the tuition scholarships they now receive. He
defended the idea, saying the amount of time
required by ~he position would financially eliminate
some .c~ndidates. ''Those with money could be

T~•cH
IVN

by Paul A. Land
Since· ·s tores that carry used records have to get them somewhere (radio
stations don't go out of business every day), it makes sense that somebody
·somewhere, sometime, buys an album that turns out to be an unmitigated
turkey.
• When the turkey investor discovers his error, he or she has to decide whether
to keep the record or dispose of it. If it's kept, the album usually ends up at the
bottom of the pile, warped and cobwebbed beyond recognition.
. Ttlere are many ways to dispose of such jetsam. You can let your kid brother
use it for a frisbee. Some people give them away as birthday or Xmas gifts; this
action risks offending the recipient ("Whaddisdis, it's already open?!). Or, you
may attempt to sell the disc and recover at least part of the purchase price. (I
once made $50 selling some old albums at a table in a college cafeteria, but some
people aren't as persuasive as I am. Maybe the free dope inside the covers
helped.) ,
The surest way of getting rid of an album you don't care for is to sell it to a
used record dealer. Sure, you won't receive as much cash as you would selling it
yourself, but then you're saved the hassles of obtaining a retail license. The
method is not foolproof, however, so here are some tips on how to get your
money's worth.
• It pays to shop around and obtain several different bids on your albums. To
illustrate this point, I took a random sampling of 14 of my albums, all in excellent
condition, to three local shops and asked each shop for bids on each album. The
bids varied widely from dealer to dealer; in only one case did all three shops offer
me the same price for an album.
One store offered me five doilars for an expensive direct-cut jazz album;
another shop didn't ,, even bid on it ("No demand," the · man said).
The total bids from all three stores added up to $17.75, $19, and $23.25.
However, selling each album to the store that offered the highest price for it
would have netted me $28.50; which is a significant monetary increase.
• The original price you paid for a record means nothing to a retailer. He will
judge your albums according to two standards: 1) Condition of the record; and 2)
Store's estimate of resale opportunity.
The latter condition is the one that will vary most between retailers. If a store
already has a used copy of an album that you bring in, chances are they won't
buy your copy. Also, if an album is known by the store to be a proven "slow
seller" or "garbage," the record will earn a relatively low bed regardless of the
shape it's in.
• The condition of the records, however, is the most important variable. A
shop usually will not offer more than 10 cents for a disc that resembles the
mrface of the moon. ''Slight'' surface imperfections (minor warps and
;cratches) will often be tolerated although the bid will be downgraded
accordingly. Also, a good record in a shot cover is always worth more than a shot
record in a good cover.
It also helps if the record is clean. This does not mean you should- run it
through a dishwasher. Rather, surface dust should be removed with something
like a Disc Preener, Discwasher or other record sanitation apparatus. General
grun9e can be remove~_with mild solution of Jov Detergent and tep~_~ater.

Fflm review by Jan Brown

collective insecurities surrounding religious beliefs as a whole.
In the part of the film that deals with the
theologians, in which all the major
religions of the western world are
represented, only one theological representative is singled out to ridicule. He is a
character not unlike Reverand Ike, or Billy
Graham. He is made to seem totally
hypocritical and full of B.S. And yet the
other representatives are almost ignored
and retain some dignity for their office.
)'es it's still true . . . Thou shalt not make

However, the film still manages to
indicate that none of the religions are
without questionable credibility.

'' Oh God,'' a film by Carl Reiner opened
Friday at the Valley River Twin. I was
there for the first viewing, and will
probably return to laugh some more. "Oh

is not riddled with violence, and there are
no explicit sex scenes. It is an enjoyable
experience.

The Titan's (averaging 6.3 points per
game before the OCE contest) were able to
get off only ten shots at OCE's goal as they
suffered their first loss and first shutout

OCE, relying heavily on foreign players,
punched through the only goal of the game
in the first half following a breakdown in
the Titan's defense.
"They had a good, fast attack," said
George Gyorgyfalvy, men's soccer coach.
"Our defense played an outstanding game,
but that one breakdown in the first half cost
us the game. "
Gyorgyfalvy singled out Greg Brown and
Rudy Bryant for their outstanding defensive efforts against OCE' s offensive
thrusts.
Unfortunately, the Titan's offense played a disappointing game, according to
Gyorgyfalvy.
On the attack during most of the second
half, Lane's scoring drives were blunted
repeatedly by both the outstanding play of
one of OCE' s halfbacks a:nd the poor
shooting of LCC's forward line.
" Our stronger shots were going over or

·s ome hints for insom niacs
Can't sleep?
A recent survey finds that one out of
three persons have tro~ble sleeping.
Forty-two per cent said they had
suffered from insomnia at some time
of their life. Sex, income, ethnic
background, education and occupation
appear to matter little as far as your
ability to sleep. Age makes the only
significant difference -- men under 30
sleep better than average while
' women over 60 have more sleepless
nights than most people.
It was discovered in 1953 that rapid
eye movements (REMS) indicate

research has gone into sleep and

centers in the USA, as weII as many
research facilities which now provide
help for the sleepless and for people
suffering from other sleep disorders.
Many people who think they have
trouble sleeping may sleep more than
,they think they do. In such cases, the
person may have a disturbed perception of how much sleep he or she gets.
Some people can sleep anywhere
but in their own bed -- a conditioned
insomnia that usually occurs when a
life crisis such as divorce makes
normal sleep impossible. After so
many restless nights, the familiar bed
and the misery of staying awake

sleep apnea. This usually happens to
a middle-aged man who spends much
of the night virtually breathless for
periods. ranging from ten seconds to
several minutes. In between these
breath holding episodes, he snores so
loudly that he may awaken himself as
well as the neighbors.
Sleeplessness is sometimes due to a
disturbance of our circadian rhythm.
This is the rhythm of our body
temperature as it relates to our
wakefullness.
Normally our body
temperature moves in a bell-shaped
curve, being lowest in the morning
when we awaken, rising throughout
the day to its highest peak in the
afternoon when we are most active,
then falling back to its lowest point in
the evening at bedtime. Jet lag, late
nights, or other factors cause a shift in
this biological clock which regulates
wakefullness and sleep. Adhering to a
strict schedule of bedtime and waking
hours can reset the body clock.
Chronic insomnia can be associated
with chronic anxiety, depression,
neuroses, or sexual problems.
Treatment for the basic problem often
alleviates the insomnia.
Many insomniacs find that reaching
for sleeping pills is not the answer.
The temporary relief doesn't last and
usually adds a new dimension to the
problem.
Pills usually lose their
effectiveness in two weeks and they
suppress dreaming which interferes
with the normal stages of sleep.
Some helpful suggestions for troubled sleepers follow:
.
• In order to reinforce the idea that
bed is a place for sleeping: a) go to
bed only when tired, b) use your bed
only for sleeping or sex (not for
reading, eating, watching TV, worrying, etc.), c) if you can't go to sleep
within a reasonable time, get up and
go to another room.
• Get up and go to bed at regular
times. Don't take naps, get up when
the alarm rings, etc. until you develop
a consistent and natural sleep rhythm.
• Remember, insomnia is sometimes a state of mind; no one dies of
insomnia and no one can stay awake
forever.
• Relaxation techniques practiced
prior to your proposed bedtime will
assist you to sleep.
• Decreasing known stimulants,
e.g. coffee, colas, cigarettes, and
exciting activities.can be a prelude to
restful sleep.

Daycare
center h~
vacancies
by Jeanine Streeter
For the first time in · the - LCC
Child Care Center's history the
facility is actively looking for
children of LCC parents to fill 10'
vacancies. All of the openings are
at the center located at the
Unitarian Church at 40th and
Donald Streets.
Linda Riepe, director ot the
center, said, however, that the
second of the two child care centers
operated by the college--the campus center--is filled to capacity.
"We've never had this happen
before," said Riepe.
"Usually
both centers have waiting lists
totaling SO to 60 parents" who are
eager to enroll their children.
Letters to students who put their
names on this fall's waiting lists
turned up few responses this week.
Child Care Center staff members
assume most students have already
made arrangements for their children.
But Riepe said that if LCC
students do not respond to the
announcement of these vacancies
the center will seek application
from LCC staff members and the
public in general, two groups
normally excluded from participating because student-parents have
first choice.
The normal fee per child is 9...
cents per hour, which includes the
cost of a noon meal. Parents can
leave their children up to eight
hours per day on the day they have
classes, but must schedule for a
minimum of four hours per day,
two days per week.
The Child Care Center is located
in the Health and Physical Education Building, and Riepe can be
reached at LCC extension 208.
