Tuition hike being considered

Budget problems back again

by Sally Oljar
A 10 per cent increase in tuition will be one
issue discussed at the LCC Board of
Education meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 8.
The increase is one method under
consideration to raise approximately $1.2
million for the college's 1978-1979 budget.
But even a large increase in tuition
revenue "would not solve the problem,"
according to Dean of Business Operations
Tony Birch in a memo to President Eldon
Schafer last month. Tuition revenues were
figured at 18.10 per cent of the projected
college budget for 1978-1979, but Board
policy states that tuition may be up to 20 per
cent of the total college budget. Property
taxes and state funding compose the balance
of college income.
Total resources available to the college are
approximately $14.8 million. But expenditures for the next year are projected to be in
excess of 16 million, Birch says. Eighty per
cent of the estimated expenses are for

·

personnel salaries and benefits. "Our
problem is labor costs,'' Birch said in an
interview Monday, adding that recent
contract salary settlements are higher than
the estimated budget amount. Budget
requirements have increased by almost 14
per cent; however, resources are increasing
by 5 per cent, Birch said.
Lower enrollment figures for this year are
part of Birch's formula for projecting next
year's deficit. The estimated amount of state
money the college was to receive next year is
now believed to be much less: State funding
is based on an enrollment ratio of
reimbursement for every full-time LCC
student or equivalent (45 credit hours per
student per year). Since enrollment may be
down again next year, the revenue from the
state will be lower than expected when the
1978-80 budget documents were drafted.
In order to balance the budget, before
submitting it to Board approval, "all
expenditures (will be) looked at very
closely," Birch said.
One alternative, he says, is "to live within

the current tax base or seek additional
funds.'' There are several ways the college
could seek additional funding, besides
increasing tuition.
Increase the property tax base: The
current LCC tax base if $4.9 million. This
figure is based on the true cash value of
property in Lane County. The Board can
submit a request to county voters to increase
this amount.
Increase the property tax rate: The dollar
amount levied on property per $1,000 true
cash value (presently $1.30 per $1,000) may be increased with voter approval.
The $4.9 million tax base can be legally
increased by six per cent each year to keep
pace with inflation. This figure can be
increased, by voter approval, without
changing the actual tax base.
Birch's memo also suggested either a
serial fixed rate request (an increase in tax
rateforaspecifictimeframe)or a serial fixed
amount request, (a lump sum increase for
one time only).

Carmicel learned of the project from a
newspaper article he had read a few months
ago. Having tried a number of different
speech therapists, he was ready to "hang it
up." He called the founder of the program,
Bob Goldman at the headquarters in Walnut
Creek, California in the hopes oflearning of a
local chapter where he could go for support.
There was none.
But Goldman mentioned that he was
planning to start chapters in Eugene, Salem
and Portland. Carmicel offered to start the
chapters for him, and Goldman agreed. The
only thing needed now is people, according
to Carmicel, people who want to talk about
their stuttering experiences.
The project aims to instill self-confidence,
to convince stutterers that a speech problem
should not control their lives. It does not

John and Mary share sex and responsibility
by Dr. Staywell and Staff of the Mudent Health Service

aren't entirely aware of which drive them to share much time together. Neither having
been brought up in strict disciplinarian families, their liberal way of looking at the world
includes an openness about sexuality. One evening, tempted by a romantic setting and
spurred on by overpowering natural urges, they make love together. quite oblivious to the
consequences of the event. Mary and John are worried: Mary didn't mention that she
wasn't using any form of birth control and John didn't bother to ask if she was. Both face a

His opinions are supported by the
KLCC Citizens Advisory Board (a lay group
that advises KLCC on policy). Station policy
now requires that both sides of a
controversial issue be aired by announcers,
whether in a public format, or in a news and
music broadcast. But McCartney says the
problems persist.
He also claims to have been physically
threatened while attempting to enforce
college policy. McCartney described some of
the volunteers as '' a bunch of high school
kids'' and that some of the volunteers ''right
or wrong, will stand up behind any other
volunteer.''
Unless they shape up," he says, "the
next manager will take one look and fire them
all. I wouldn't have left if things were OK.''
McCartney says that the "core" (paid)
staff are "good workers, but they can't say
'no' to the volunteer staff. I'm always the one
who comes out as the bad guy."
But Music Director Michael Handler
views the problem differently. ''Tim's
(McCartney) got the ultimate authority ·
when a decision has to be made. To say 'no'
is part of his job. I think the volunteer staff
recognizes they can't get everything they
want, no matter where they are ... "
Handler supports McCartney's position on balanced editorial comment within
the station, but he emphasizes that the
broadcasting structure at KLCC is ''freeform." "I'd like to keep the touch of
personality with announcers being able to
express themselves. If they have to get
another opinion, they should get it. Part of
the appeal to the listeners lies in the freedom
that announcers have."
Another "attitude" problem, says
McCartney stems from the reorganization of
the station a year ago. At that time, the
college fired five KLCC staff people. The
college wanted the professional, paid
broadcasters working at the station to
participate in instructional programs, but
because they did not have teaching
credentials, they were terminated.
After lengthy and sometimes emotional
meetings, the LCC Board of Education
reorganized the station's management

'

structure, separating it from the auspices of
the Mass Communication Department, and
putting direct supervision of KLCC under
Dean of Instruction Gerald Rasmussen.
As a result of this action, McCartney
says, "Volunteers have no trust in the
college administration because of the way
the firings were handled. But people who
came after {the firings) have the same
attitude. It's been a year (since the firings)
and it's time to move on. There is no reason
not to compromise with administrators (on
KLCC policy).''
He claims that when a difference of
opinion exists between the volunteer staff
and Dean Rasmussen thatthe volunteer staff
''won't budge an inch.'' McCartney believes
there should be a compromise when
necessary between the two groups.
McCartney summarized his position in
a KLCC broadcast on Jan. 25 and 26, saying
that the volunteer staff "is suffering from a
'bite the hand that feeds you' complex.'' He
reiterated his statements over the air and
also said that KLCC should have more of an
'' academic role'' in the college structure. He
would like to see classes broadcast over the
air and involve more departments in KLCC
programming.
Three representatives of the volunteer
staff plan to meet with Rasmussen on Feb. 2.
According to McCartney, they plan to make
suggestions for the selection of an acting
manager until June 30.
Gil Harrison, one of the volunteer staff
representatives, declined to comment on
McCartney's allegations. He said that any
problems at KLCC are "In house, with the
superiors (Rasmussen and McCartney), and
are mostly a communication problem within
ourselves, not how the station is run."
The group plans to ''introduce ourselves" to Rasmussen, Harrison says,
because the volunteer staff is "part of the
LCC structure,'' although volunteers are not
regular employees.

potential Joss of freedom and money if Mary becomes pregnant. If Mary decides to have
the baby, with or without John's financial and emotional support, she must make some
sacrifices to raise the child. She must make the decision on whether or not to seek an
abortion.
That's one version. Here's another:
John and Mary are friends who experience all ofthe above together except the last part.
That's because the bottom line of friendship is responsibility, and John and Mary have
discussed their attitudes toward sex and love, have talked about venereal disease, and
various birth control methods shortly after their first non-sexual intimacies. Mary doesn't
get pregnant.
Do these scenes sound familiar?
According to Planned Parenthood, over half of all teenage women have sex these days,
a whopping 44 per cent increase in five years. Of these, a million get pregnant every year,
two-thirds of which pregnancies are unintended and two-thirds of which result in births.
And 94 per cent of those who deliver keep their babies to raise themselves, at great
potential cost to the mothers, the children, and taxpayers.
Seen as a giant funnel whose top levels embrace a large portion of all teenage women
and which slopes gradually to include those who become mothers raising children, the
above statistics take on life.
But that doesn't have to be the case. Liberal Oregon laws now allow any physician to
prescribe birth control methods regardless of age or parental consent. And fortunately,
sex education in the schools is becoming less and less taboo.
LCC Student Health Service's Women's Clinic provides all credit students, for $10,
with a thorough introduction to all phases of a woman's family planning and gynecological
needs. While no need exists for a "men's" clinic, men are encouraged to participate in
their partner's education and examination sessions.
In general, women who attend the clinic fall into two categories: The first are those who
are already using some form of birth control and who come in for their annual check-up, or
perhaps to change methods. The check-up consists of a physical exam which includes a
Pap smear to detect cervical cancer, a breast exam and a thyroid exam, a hemoglobin test
to detect anemia, a urinalysis to check sugar and protein content, a G.C. culture to check
for gonorrhea and a VDRL which is a blood test for syphilis. Blood pressure and weight are
also checked.
The second category (2) includes: Women, especially teen-agers, who are just
becoming sexually active. Like those already using birth control, they are given a
complete physical exam. They have their complete health history recorded, are given the
opportunity to discuss birth control methods and sexuality in general, and prescribed
their birth control method chosen. At the present time the Women's Clinic fee includes
thecostsofall birth control methods, exceptIUD's, which are not fitted by Student Health
Service.
A third category may include women who are not using birth control methods, and who
suspect they may have become pregnant. If it has been 45 days since their last period, a
urinalysis will show if they're pregnant. If they are, at that point the examining nurse
practitioner can refer them to a gynecologist for pre-natal care or to a doctor for an
abortion, whichever the case may be. Abortion referalls are not that usual, however.
Other agencies available to LCC students include Lane County's Family Planning
Clinic at 401 E. 10th Avenue and Planned Parenthood at 134 East 13th Street.
Both services are similar to LCC Student Health in the kind of gynecological and
medical tests and functions they provide. However, the Family Planning Clinic offers
insertion of IUD's and does male vasectomies. Planned Parenthood will do pregnancy
testing without requiring their patients to be using birth control methods, unlike the
Family Planning Clinic.
At this time both the Family Planning Clinic and Planned Parenthood are somewhat
more education-oriented than the Student Health Service. However, fees for their
services run higher. The Family Planning Clinic has a sliding fee scale depending on
income, but fees generally run from $6 to $60. Planned Parenthood does some no-charge
work for welfare patients and the indigent, but private patients pay a fee of $18 for
gynecological examinations and $5 for method changes. Gestational exams are $10, a
post-abortion exam is $6, and pregnancy testing is $5. Cost of individual contraceptives
ranges from SO cents to $8.
Family planning and venereal diseases will be the topics of next week's Apple Booth on
Wednesday and Thursday. Be sure to look for it on campus if you have any questions or
concerns about these subjects.

Gay preacher offers special worship service

The Reverend Eli Jenkins recites Thomas'
autobiographical poem in the first half of the
Welsh author's play "Under Milk Wood."
''To Begin at the Beginning,'' characterizes Thomas' last major work before his
death. The renowned poet wrote the play
about his childhood experiences in Wales.
The Oregon Repertory Theatre production,
directed by Randi Douglas, is an adaptation
of the work which Thomas originally
intended to be for a radio audience. In the
ORT production the character of Thomas
himself appears.
What the audience sees then is Dylan
arriving on the set prior to the opening
performance in New York. He carries new
material for the actors. The curtain is
scheduled to go up in a matter of moments
and lines are still being given out.
In a letter to John Brinnen, author of
''Dylan Thomas In America,'' Thomas, who
was in severe financial trouble, trying to
finish the script and drinking heavily, wrote,
''the enclosed manuscript is called 'A Piece
for Radio Perhaps.' Out of it spun the same
idea that I write a play, an entertainment out

Restoration begun at Siltcoos Lake
The sixty year old boathouse has undergone
remodeling for use by LCC groups
by Tim Leonard
The boathouse building which is
part of the former ''Christensen's
Resort" overlooking Siltcoos Lake has
recently been remodeled for less than
$2,000 in order to provide improved
conditions for LCC students using the
property.
The boathouse, along with a
general store, four cottages and a
caretaker's house were donated to LCC
in 1972 by Mr. and Mrs. James
Christensen. The buildings have been
in use since 1919 when the family began
business on the lake south of Florence.
At one time, the facility was the
area railroad station. A dance hall next
to the store collapsed, so the boathouse
went up in its place.
Remodeling included new lights,

X-C skiers brave rain to practice techniqu es
by Tim Leonard
Ear)y morning darkness surrounded the
cars that began arriving in the west parking
Jot of LCC. A Greyhound bus, engine
running, waited for the passengers to load
cross country skis into the baggage
compartment and board.
Students in Duane Miller's cross country
ski class were assembling to try their hands,
legs and classroom lectures on the slopes.
With everyone ready we departed as
daybreak welcomed us under grey skies.
Conversations enabled people to meet each
other as we rolled along highway 126 enroute
to the Hoodoo ski area.
The rain , which would be with us for most
of the day, greeted us as we climbed out of
the valley and into the high forests.
Miller shared some thoughts about the
class. "We have been discussing proper
equipment, clothing, survival techniques,
the use of maps and compasses, in addition
to having resource people present talks.''
' 'The idea of this activity, is to give
everyone the chance to develop some
technique and to appreciate cross country
skiing itself. I think first of all it is a class that
any age can participate in. If you can walk

Another student expressed her feelings
about cross country skiing as being a good
vehicle for hiking and backpacking into
remote areas inaccessable by downhill.
Marcia Trotter, when asked about what
she had learned replied, '•We learned a lot of
downhill techniques and it was really
excellent. We learned the snowplow to stem

some hot dog stuff. I felt like I was in a

Dylan Thomas actually a part of the action as
he moves alongside the characters.
The play involves seven actors portraying
40 characters in a 24-hour day set in a Welsh
fishing village. One important element to
remember is that Dylan is recollecting his
childhood experiences. A major component
of the production is the fantasies which each
character acts out to illustrate the ordinary
sedate life.
The viewer sees such common folk as a
postman, blind man, teacher, housewife
sailor and milkman. At one point, Dylan
drinks himself into a stupor and cavorts with

Al Strobel plays Thomas and shared some
thoughts about the author following a
matinee performance last week. "Rolling
those words off the tip of my tongue is very
sensuous.'' Strobel is a product of the SO' s
and in Madison, Wisconsin, Dylan Thomas'
work was a central topic of conversation at
local coffee houses.
While he was writing the play Thomas was
separated from his wife and it showed in his
writings. "Dylan is very easy to do now,"
explained Strobel. "The woman I love is in
England and I'm very lonely."
"Actually," Strobel concluded, "it's
almost a therapeutic feeling he expresses
beautifully. He speaks about some of the
feelings I have."
The stage direction is a combination of the

adequate versatility for movement and

Considering the difficulty in presenting
such an adaptation, the members of ORT
deserve the acclaim they receive as they

The presence of Dylan lends the
credibility and language richness which
makes the production a most pleasant live

last week.
Reserve forward Mike Kay sparked the
Titans in both games by coming off the bench
t_o score 12 and 15 points, respectively.
'' This was Mike's finest game as a Titan,''
commented coach Dale Bates. "He played
very welJ in both games, especially against
Clackamas.''
Against Clackamas, Kay came into the
game in the first half with the Titans behind
by 16. He then proceeded to work on the
Clackamas defense and put in 11 of is game
high 15 points.
"Kay sparked us in the first half," said
Bates. "We had a poor opening. We stood
around and didn't play good pressure
defense. We were just like little lambs
following them around.''
The Titans' managed to battle back to
within five at the halftime buzzer, mainly
due to the phenomenal play of Kay. The
halftime score was Clackamas 39, Lane 34.
' 'We played a little more aggressive in the
last ten minutes of the first half,'' added
Bates. "We realized that our slaughter was
on the way if we didn't start playing."
According to Bates, the second half found
everybody ready to play after '' a halftime
discussion.''
"Everybody played better in the second
half," said Bates. "It was nip and tuck the
whole way.''
The Titans' found themselves within two
points of Clackamas with two minutes to go
in the game when Rodger Bates came up
with a steal and passed off to Steve

another pass and scored himself to go ahead

Women win league opener
by John Healy
Cindy Corkum poured through 39 points
as the women's basketball team split a pair of
away games last week, beating Clackamas
59-56 on Tuesday, Jan. 24 and losing to
Umpqua 80-65 last Thursday.
Corkum a 5-8 sophomore guard from
Springfield, hit 9 of 14 from the field against
Clackamas to help the Titans win their first
league game.
In a losing effort against Umpqua,
Corkum popped in 21 points and handed out
a team record seven assits.
The Titans, currently 5-5, faced Clark
JuniorCollegelastnight in Vancouver, Wa.,
and take on Mt. Hood tomorrow night at 6
p. m. in the LCC gym. Both are league games
for the Titans.

LANE 59, CLACKAMAS 56
LCC turned a three point halftime lead into
a rout early in the second half when Corkum
connected on five straight buckets. then held
off a determined Clackamas comeback in the
last eight minutes.
Both teams traded baskets through most
of the first half as the lead see-sawed back
and forth.
A late surge pushed LCC into a 26-23
halftime lead, with Quick's 12 points leading
the Titans' first half scoring.

LCC coach Sue Thompson wasn't pleased
with her team's performance.
''We should have been up by 10 in the first
half," she declared. "Our shooting was
cold, and we were a bit hesitant on our full
court press."
Thompson made some adjustments in the
locker room during the intermission, then
watched as her Titans roared to a 46-30 lead
on the strength of their revamped full court
press.
'' Most of those buckets were off the press
-- mainly layups and short bank shots," said
Thompson.
Corkum fired in 7 of 8 from the field during
the second half, at one time scoring five field
goals in a row in a span of four minutes.
Equally as impressive was 5-6 Quick's
performance. She scored 18 points to share
scoring honors with Corkum, hitting on 8 of
13 from the field.
However, Clackamas did make a run at the
Titans in the second half after Quick and
center DeAnn Baltzer got into foul trouble.
Explained the Titans' coach, "We took off
the press and put our reserves in, then Corky
(Corkum) sprained her back with 9:15
remaining and had to come out.''
The Titans were up by 12 at that point, and
after Baltzer fouled out at 6:56 of the second
half, Thompson went to a zone with 5-6 Quick
at center.

Titan milers shine at
Oregon Indoor Track Meet
by John Healy
Outstanding performances by milers
Lynn Mayo and Ken Martin were the major
highlights from the men's track and field
team at the Oregon Indoor Track Meet last
Saturday in Portland.
Mayo and Martin ran in the College Mile
during the night meet and came through
with second and third place finishes,
respectively, both finishing under 4:20.
"We performed as well as could be
expected at this time," emphasized men's
coach Al Tarpenning. "I'm very pleased
with our athletes' performances.''
Top finishers for the Titans during the
afternoon '' developmental meet'' were
Charles Warren and Bill Mitchell in the 500
meter. Warren won his heat in 1:07.26, while
Mitchell finished third in 1: 10. 86 in his heat.
Three Titans _grabbed fourth place
finishes in their 60 meter heats -- Chuck
Casin-Cross, Scott Branchfield, and Warren
-- with Warren's time of 7.12 being the
fastest among the three.
Tarpenning was "very happy" with his
runners who ran in the afternoon 3,000
meter race, and reserved special praise for
1,000 meter entrant Jamin Aasum.
Aasum, entered in the same heat as Kelly
Britz of Clackamas (third in the Region 18
cross country meet), stayed with Britz for
most of the race, and had even begun to move
up on his opponent when he slipped and fell
on the inside of the track during the race's
final lap.
The most impressive performances,
however, came in the night meet.
Mayo, a freshman, and Martin, a
sophomore, took the lead with about 400
yards to go, with Martin in front. Mayo
kicked past Martin midway through the final
lap, then Martin and eventual winner John
Dawson of Southern Oregon swept past
Mayo in the final straightaway.
The three battled all the way to the finish
line, with Dawson winning in 4:19.1, and
Mayo and Martin coming in right behind at

wrestling team "loses
McFadden wins,
by John Healy
Clackamas kept its string of victories
overfellow Oregon community colleges
intact last Saturday by downing the
men's wrestling team 38-9 at LCC.
The Titans could notch only two wins
at 126 and 142 pounds over Clackamas,
a team that hasn't lost to another
Oregon community college in a dual .
meet in the last eight years.
Joe McFadden (142) dominated
throughout to win his match 6-0 and
raise his season record to 10-1, while
•Dennis Randazzo (126) pinned his
-opponent in 2:40 after a three week lay
off due to a neck injury.
"We should have won one or i.wo
more matches,'' said LCC wrestling
coach Bob Creed: "Rick Klohn (190) or
Vance Lewis (Hwt.) could have won

their matches.''
McFadden controlled his opponent
from the opening mintues of their
match. "He's a good all-around
wrestler," said Creed of McFadden.
'' His takedown is good, and he controls
the other wrestler well."
The Titans forfeited three weights -150, 158, and 177. Jim Randazzo lost

Week

Women's basketball--

UMPQUA 80, LANE 65

Thursday's non-league game in
Roseburg was decided at the free throw
line as Umpqua hit 26 of 41 free throws
to hand tbe Titans their fifth loss of the
season.
Umpqua rebounded from a 31-30
half time deficit by sinking 18 of 26 from
_the charity line while the Titans were
losing four of five starters on fouls.
"It was such poor officiating. They
weren't calling a Jot of things out
there,'' said an incensed Thompson.
Corkum's21 points and seven assists
came from just about everywhere on the
court.
•
Exclaimed Thompson', "She was
hitting from the outside, the.baseline,
off the press -- she was hotter than a
pistol.''
''We were awfully small compared to
them," said Thompson referring to
Umpqua' s front line that measured 6-0,
5-11, and 5-11.
"I thought we would do better
against their big kids," she said. "We
ran with them, but all those incidental
contact fouls added up.''
The Titans' last lead was at 44-40 with

Clackamas pulled to within four with
3:32 remaining, but a bucket by Quick
and a free throw by Tammy Walker
increased the Titans' lead to seven and
finally put the game out of reach.
''The kids hung on, remained poised
and maintained the lead," praised
Thompson. "It was a good away game
for us, as it's out first win on the road."

26-8 at 118, Doug Marbes got beaten
12-4 at 134, Jim Stejskal was
overwhelmed 22-2, Klohn lost a close
decision 9-4, and Lewis was edged 4-1.
The men's wrestling team has a
tough pair of matches this weekend,
beginning Friday night against Blue
Mtn. On Saturday, the Titans travel to
Bend to face Central Oregon.
Creed expects his grapplers to do well
this weekend, and feels that if the Titans
get enough breaks they can come home
with a pair of wins.
Blue Mtn. is the weaker of the two
schools, and Creed doesn't think the
Titans will have much trouble with
them. It's the Bobcats from Central
Oregon that have him worried.
"They are weak at 118 and 126
pounds, but from there on they are
pretty tough," stated Creed.

Sophomore Cindy Corkum, a 5-8
guard from Springfield who starts on
the women's basketball team, is this
week's "Titan of the Week."
Corkum scored 18 points on Jan 24
(Tuesday) as the Titans beat Clackamas
59-56 in LCC' s first league game of the
season. Last Thursday, in a losing effort
against Umpqua, Corkum pumped
through a personal high of 21 points and
handed out a school record of seven
assists as the Titans lost 80-65 in a
non-league game.
The new assist record breaks the old
mark of six, set by two players from
Lane last year -- Loree McKay and
