Students will begin
producing TV shows
by Rick Dunaven

Starting Monday, April 3, LCC students in
the Mass Communication Department will
produce two 15-minute program~ daily,
beginningat2:30on KOZY cable channel 11.
The first program, called ''Cabbages and
Kings,'' will be a showcase of work of the TV
production students. This program will be
video-taped here at LCC and sent to
Teleprompter for broadcasting.
Michael Hopkinson, head of the Mass
Communication TV Production Department said, "Cabbages and Kings," will be
'' a magazine type of program, like '60
Minutes,' but without any hard news.'' It
will consist, Hopkinson said, of student
assignments and interviews of students
about their work.
The second 15 minute program will be a
"live" news broadcast from LCC, produced
by the News and Public Affairs class.
Chris Morrelli, the Public Affairs
instructor, said these programs will give
students in both the TV Production and News
and Public Affairs classes an opportunity to
gain practical experience in the production
of television programming on a daily basis.
The first year TV production students will
operate the cameras, audio equipment and
lighting. The second year students will be
directing the programs. The News and
Public Affairs students will gather, write and
present the newscast.

To help -b alance budget

Boord ok's tuition increase
by Sally O)jar

In a move to help the college reduce its
projected $1.2 million 1978-1979 budget
deficit, the LCC Board of Education voted on
March 8 to increase tuition.
Tuition for full time students beginning
Fall Term 1978 will be increased from
$130.80 to $132. But the greatest increase
will be levied on part-time students, says
Dean of Students Jack Carter: Tuition will
increase from 10.50 per credit hour to $12.
Community Education classes will cost $16
per class, which is a one dollar increase.
Carter said that students who receive·
federal Basic Equal Oppertunity Grant
funds will receive more money to offset the
increase. The new figures do not include
other mandatory fees paid at registration.
The increase is expected to generate
approximately $120,000 in revenue for the
college, says Tony Birch, dean of business
operations. But how to balance the
remaining deficit still needs an answer from
Board members.
The Board has several choices it can make:
Increasing the tax base: The college may
increase the present $4. 9 million tax base by
submitting a new figure to county voters. If
the voters approve the amount requested the
county assessor will divide the figure by the
assessed true cash value of all property in the
LCC district. From this figure a tax rate is
computed and collected from individual
property owners and businesses. At the

present time, the tax rate is $1.35 for each
$1,000 assessed property value owned by
Lane County landowners. This means, for
example, an owner of property assessed at
$20,000 would pay $27 tax for LCC operation.
If the Board asks the voters to approve a
new tax base the decision to do so and the
amount to be requested must be decided on
April 5 if th~ request is to be included on the
May 23 ballot, Birch says. His office is
working on a tax base figure to submit to the
Board for consideration.
Exceeding the six percent limitation: By
law the tax base increase automatically
each year by six per cent to account for
inflation. The college may ask for voter
approval to exceed this limit for a set dollar
amount, called a serial fixed amount.' 'The
funds must be specified for certain purposes
and the life of the levy is limited to three
years for support of operations,'' according
to material prepared for the Board by Birch.
Staying withbt the current tax base: The
college could make no request for increased
tax monies, but instead operate under the
current $4. 9 million base for the next fiscal
year.
President Eldon Schafer told the Board on
March 8 that' 'We must find ways to reduce
expenditures (and) save dollars wherever
possible.'' He has requested that each
department chairperson submit budgets
from their respective departments with an
indication of where cuts may be made. In
addition, departments must have his
approval before hiring any new staff.
"If there is a reduction in force
(personnel), I hope it is as proportionate in
administration as it is in faculty,'' said Board
member Larry Perry.
Schafer is reluctant to go to the voters with
a$1.2 million request for funding and said he
is'' committed'' to reducing the deficit below
th~ million dollar mark.
At the same meeting, the KLCC Advisory

Board requested clarification from the Board
on its role in the radio station's affairs. Mass
Communication Department Chairman Jim
Dunne's appointment as acting station
manager following Tim McCartney resignation prompted the request for a definition of
the Advisory Board's "leadership" role,
said Advisory Board Chairman Jim Williams.
Williams said the Advisory Board has
"strong objections" to Dunne's appointment. He said it is a ''contradiction'' to the
Board of Education's policy of separation
and ''autonomy'' for KLCC from the Mass
Communication Department.
But Board of Education members refused
to rescind Dunne's appointment upon the
Nor would
Advisory Board's request.
individual Board members allow themselves
to be polled on the appropriateness of
Dunne's appointment. Board of Education
member Edward Cooper told the Advisory
Board it was inappropriate to "challenge"
President Eldon Schafer's decision to
appoint Dunne.
'' I will have nothing to do with that motion
but to say that Mr. Dunne is far the best
person available," added Board member
James Pitney.
All the Board of Education members
agreed that the station should remain
outside of the Mass Communication
Department, an opinion that Dunne also
supports. He said that Dean of Instruction
and KLCC General Manager Gerald
Rassmussen "made the point that the
station not return to the (Mass Communication) department. That's very clear to me."
The Advisory Board members all felt they
should have been asked for their input before
Dunne was appointed. Williams said the
Advisory Board asked Rassmussen to
"delay" his recommendation of an acting
station manager until he had received the
Advisory Board's input.

KATR adds westerns

Paul Larson, program director of Eugene
country-western station KATR 1320AM,
announced that the station will add western
radio drama to its progressive country
format. KATR believes it is the first radio
station in the northwest to offer the
combination of country-western music and
western radio drama.
The '' KATR Western Radio Theatre'' will
air every Monday through Thursday at 6:30
p.m. Larson said that "KATR will restrict
the radio theatre to "westerns" to achieve
compatibility with the station's western
music format. The programs to be offered
initially are' 'The Lone Ranger'' for younger
listeners and old time radio buffs, and ''Gun
Smoke" for people interested in serious
radio drama.
The station also intends to explore the
possibility of locally produced radio drama
using the talent of area performers. Larson
said, ·'We're trying to offer Eugene-Springfield listeners some significant radio
alternatives and we feel radio drama
represents such an alternative.'' The first
program will air Monday, April 3rd.

'Indulgences' should please playw right

Play Review by Janice Brown
On April 1, playwright John Orlock will be
in Eugene to view the West Coast premiere
of his play " Indulgences in the Louisville
Harem,'' currently performed by the
Oregon Repertory Theatre.
Orlock should be pleased with what he
sees. ORT' s production is enchanting to look
at. The play itself without such fine staging
and performances wouldn't be enchanting.
' 'Indulgences' ' is the story of two sisters,
Florence, played by Jane Van Boskirk, and
Viola, played by Jane Stevens-Jones.
Caught up in the rigors of Victorian morality
during the first years of this century, the
thirtyish ladies are both unmarried.
Together, the sisters live out a frustrating
existence that doesn't show much promise
for a reprieve or another chance at finding
marital bliss.
In the beginning of the play Florence and
Viola discuss their illnesses, their bad
dreams, and their past. Florence takes stock
of their situation and concludes that they
"have their health." A clock ticks ominously
in the background. The ladies are waiting for
death. Florence says to the audience, "I
should have gone to be a missionary in
China, but Uncle said I'd die there. I'll die
here, all through the night."
The pace of the play's beginning is not
slow, but the continuous ticking of the clock
and the morbid dialogue simulates the
feeling of the vapid emptiness of those who
have nothing to do but wait endlessly for
death to free them of anxiety and boredom.
The only relief from this somber mood is
the vivacity interjected into the character
Viola through Stevens-Jones' energetic
portrayal. But her vivaciousness is fleeting,
only appearing sporadically, like a puppet
playing peek-a-boo.
The fates of the ladies take a sharp turn
when Viola comes across a mail order
catalogue, "Miss White's Book of Eligible
Gentlemen."
Two gentlemen respond to a letter that the
sisters write to Miss White: Amos Robillet,
played by Bill Geisslinger, and Winfield
Davis, played by Michael Cadigan are the
gentlemen received by the sisters in their
parlor, where the entire play is set. The play
achieves a comic face-lift with the
appearance of Geisslinger and Cadigan.
Winfield is an assistant to Professor
Robillet who claims to be a "mesmerist."
Thecon-artistan ticsofthe two men liven the
spirits of the ladies, as well as the spirit of the

t--

-

-

play.
The men quickly win their hearts and
propose marriage. But just before the
nuptial celebration Robillet's and Davis'
credibility is brought into question. The
sisters find an article in an old newspaper
that suggests that Robillet and Davis are apt
to breech their marital promises.
Florene~ is willing to forgive and forget,
and goes off with the gentlemen. But Viola
cannot: She opts for solitary insanity
instead.
Stevens-Jones, Geisslinger, and for the
most part Van Boskirk bring life to their
characters. Cadigan's role is particularly
difficult, because he is also the voice of
Rob ill et: The professor, through , unusual
circumstances, has lost his ability to speak.
So Cadigan really assumes two roles, that of
Davis, and the vocal dramatization of
Professor Robillet. Cadigan is especially
funny when put into a hypnotic state by
Professor Robillet. Under the spell, Cadigan
becomes a convincing barnyard chicken,
clucking and scratching the ground.
Geisslinger's role, a mime, relies on facial
expresssions and body movements to create
a believable Robillet. His costume, a
Chaplinesque tux, adds a good touch to the
speechless character.
All the costumes were designed and
created out of donated fabrics by a
competent and imaginative Diane Mundt.
Mundt's costumes are fine examples of the
dress of the era, and are enhanced by
expressive Victorian hairdos, created by
David Pratt of Continental Hair in
Springfield.
The play is directed by ORT member Bill
Ritchie. The staging and sets are well done.
Particularly effective is the lighting work of
James Robinson, who uses many colored
lights to change the tone and mood of the
stage•· ethereal blues and deep hot reds that
reflect the lush decorative Victorian period.
The parlor set consists of period pieces
donated by local antique dealers.
The visual achievements of the production
are impressive, perhaps more than the play
itself. Nearing the end, Van Boskirk as
Florence, mumbles through a fragmented
monologue 'in which she decides to leave
her sister and go off with the men. Orlock's
monologue and Boskirk's rendition were
difficult to understand.
The concluding scene ofthe play also lacks
absolute clarity. Viola is left alone in the
house after discovering her sister has left

with ~he men. Viola refers only once to the
reason: she doesn't think she could "ever
look the three (Florence, Robillet and Davis)
in the eye again.''
Why can't she see them again? Is she too
weak, too embarrassed at her reactions to
. having possibly been duped, too old, too
tired, or what?
Perhaps didacticism isn't the way, but the
point does need to be brought more clearly
into focus.
Performances of ''Indulgences'' will be
presented on April 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 at 8 p.m.
Matinee performances will be on April 1 and
8 at 2 p.m. Persons who reserve seats early
can save space for themselves in the center
section. Tickets are $4.50 and $3.50.

our educational goals to that end."
Wassom would like to see more vocational
courses offered at LCC, but feels that the
addition of such courses shouldn't detract
from the liberal arts or other programs.
''At the same time, we must maintain an
alternative for students that aren't quite
ready to attend the University of Oregon."
Wassom supports the recent tuition
increases at LCC in principle, but questions
the size of the increase.
"I think it was a little too much," said
Wassom. "Then again, student tuition pays

if LCC makes a greater effort in this direction
the college's budget deficit, low enrollment
figures, and future tuition increases may not
be problems.
Hendrickson is the evaluation specialist
for Eugene School District 4J. He has served
as the chairperson of the Lane County Health
Department Advisory Committee, and on
the board of the Lane Group Health Services.
He thinks that LCC should gear its
instructional programs toward the projected
areas of economic growth in Lane County:

For instance, he supports a closer
association between the college and the
business community. The purchase of the
Downtown Center' 'is a good acquisition ...
(to) tap into economic growth." He sees
economic growth in such areas as
reforestation, fish farming and exploration
of non-polluting energy sources. The
college's training programs should "tie-in"
to these areas.
Hendrickson criticized the college for not
making a "vigorous effort" to increase

enrollment. This effort, he says, would help
relieve the college of its budget problems.
He supports expansion of course offerings
for senior citizens as one source of increased
enrollment and increased emphasis on the
outreach programs.
The $1.2 million budget deficit that the
college may face next year is "one of the
hardest questions that whoever is elected to
the Board has to deal with,'' he says. He does
not think the voters will approve an increase

shop, served as the LCC business manager
from 1969 until 1973. He feels that this
experience makes him a qualified candidate
for the LCC Board.
''I've seen too many well-intentioned
people get on the board and then ask dumb
questions. The adminstrators then give B. S.
answers and the Board members are too nice
to get to the real answers. They just say
'thank you' and move on to other less
important matters."
Watkins doesn 'tfeel that the projected 1.2
million budget deficit for next year is all that
important of an issue. "I don't believe the
projected deficit is true. It's a conservative
estimate. I can't fault the figure however,
(and) you can't be optimistic about things

like that.''
Watkins feels the same way about a tuition
"The school receives state

also. So what it comes down to is that for
every six dollars the local taxpayer pays, the
student pays four dollars. I don't think that
60-40 per cent ratio is too bad for the kind of
education one can get out at LCC."
Watkins feels that all the programs
offered by LCC should be regulated by
students and their interests. '' The student is
the reason for the school. You can't screw
around with the student. If the community
demands outreach programs it's the
school's job to provide them. I do think that
more should be done with the senior

citizens."
"I care about what goes on out there",
added Watkins' 'When I worked out at Lane
it was the most enjoyable time of my life. It
did a hell of a job for my son and I think it's a
hell of an important place. I think you've got
a good thing going out at LCC and I want it to
stay a good place.''
Watkins feels that the major problem with
LCC and the board is the lack of
communication.
"They've done a lousy job of commuicating with the public. The only thing you ever
read in papers about Lane is bad things. You

Board of Education from District Three
(Marcola, Springfield and McKenzie), feels
that his experience in many areas makes him
an ideal choice for the position: He has
practiced law in the Eugene/Springfield
area for three years, and has put in several
years as a student. Before taking up the
practice of law he was also a professor of
history in Pennsylvania.
The most important item on Scott's
priority list is a reevaluation of the vocational
programs here at LCC. While he feels that

says that more emphasis must be put on
by Paul Yamold
Allen Scott Jr., a candidate for the LCC vocational and technical courses which allow

a student to acquire a two year degree (or
certification) without transferring to a four
year institution.
Scott perceives vocational training to be
the original intent of Lane County residents
in initially approving LCC's construction,
and that a return to this policy is the bt:st way
of increasing enrollment in the college's
credit programs.
He also approves of certain tvoes of
outreach programs that increase community interest in outlying parts of the county, he
says, acknowledging that many of these
people feel detached from LCC and the
opportunity it offers them. Senior citizens,

for example, have also been somewhat
neglected in terms of outreach programs,
according to Scott.
While labelling tuition increases as
"inevitable," Scott feels that the rate of
increase must be carefully considered so as
to meet inflated operating expenses without
pricing quality education above the rneans of
the individual student.
Scott feels that he would be the man, "to
ask the right questions," and to offer the
most workable ''compromises,'' especially
in dealing with personnel matters and
budgetary problems due to his depth of
background in these areas.

objective," he commented.
''I attended Lane for two years before
going to Oregon so I think I know the
students' needs. I've also taken some
vocational classes and some Adult Ed
classes since graduation."
Farmer feels that the vocational, Adult
Ed, and the Outreach programs are the
biggest issues in this election year and the
programs could be improved.
''I think the vocational programs could be
improved. They are good right no_w, in

comparison to other community colleges
around the state, but I think they could better
relate to the two biggest job markets in the
city; agriculture and lumber. When you look
at the number of classes offered in these
vocations you realize that there are not that
many."
'' In the district I'm running in the majority
of the people are blue collar. They want a
good adult education program without
having to run out to campus every night after
work."

"I think a program should be institut~d to
find out the needs of the community in adult
education. Right now I think it reflects more
of the instructor's attitudes."
''The Outreach program could better
meet the needs of the community. There is a
potential in the programs that is not yet
tapped. Outreach must be expanded to meet,
the needs of the community as a whole,'' he
says.

-- which combines political experience with
educational experience -- qualifies me for a
position on the Board."
Curry served on the Board of Education in
1974, appointed to fill the final term vacated
by Board member Robert Ackerman.
'' I think the college can improve in getting
information to potential students living in
Lane County,'' emphasized Curry, '' And
Board members are a good source of public
relations.''
Curry is ''very big on outreach programs
(classes given in outlying towns). I think
there are lots of people in Lane County who

could benefit from programs at LCC."
And she says the main emphasis of LCC
should be vocational education, "Obviously
community colleges are vocational institutions -- that is their primary purpose."
Curry '' detests tuition increases'' and
feels the college needs to look at ways tuition
can be held down. ''Tl,e beauty of a
community college has been that it has been
accessible to students of lower incomes,"
explains Curry.
She has been an educator in the Eugene
area for the last 30 years, teaching students
from elementary to post-secondary levels.

information referral service, is running for
the office because he feels the current board
is not as effective as it needs to be. '' Students
need to have better access to the administrative process," says Wheeler, "I believe that
if I am on the board we will have it.''
LCC's projected 1.2 million dollar
projected deficit for next school year was one
of the subjects discussed when the TORCH
interviewed Wheeler. He maintains that
part of the deficit can be balanced by cutting
back on some of the programs the school

offers and by avoiding wasteful expenditures like the President's Dining Room

The women's basketball team ran into a

tournament held March 9-11 in Gresham,
Oregon.
The loss to Lower Columbia dropped the

LOWER COLUMBIA 68, LANE 51
"If we had beaten Lower Columbia we
would have been in good shape,'' explained
LCC women's coach Sue Thompson. "But
we got into foul trouble and a few of our
starters had bad games. ''
While three starting players -- guards
Cindy Corkum and Lisa Melevin and
Forward Lori Quick -- were fouling out of the
game, super-sub Tammy Walker was going
zero for two from the field and center DeAnn
Baltzer was going through a frustrating
night that ended with her scoring only two
points.
"We just weren't on form," said
Thompson. ''DeAnn had trouble getting the
ball inside, ouroutside shooting was off, and
we threw the ball away too many times.''
Lower Columbia led by seven at the half,
29-22, then gradually pulled away from LCC
in the second half.
The Titans had problems with Lower
Columbia's two 5-8 starting forwards, as
they combined for 39 points and 13
rebounds.
Only Corkum, with 12 points (five of
eleven from the field), and reserve forward
Gale Rogers, with 11 points, played
consistently against Lower Columbia,
according to their coach.
In fact, Rogers had "the best tournament
of anyone on our team,'' said Thompson.

dominance in post-season play, even if it was
in the consolation bracket at the regional
tournament.
The Saints jumped to a slim 35-33 halftime
lead and then the two .teams fought each
other to a draw through most of the second
half.
It was forward Quick's uncanny accuracy
from the charity line that finally assured the
Titans of a win.
Quick sank 13 of 17 free throws for the
game, hitting 9 of 11 free throws in the last
five minutes of the contest.
''Our three sophs led us," said Thompson
referring to Corkum, Rogers, and reserve
guard Joy Rhoads . "They really came on
strong.''

before fouling out, Rogers went 5 for 11 from
the field to score 11 points, and Rhoads
scored 10 points on four of seven field goals

''That game was a lot closer than the
score," said Thompson. "We were leading
69-66atthe buzzer when Lori got fouled. She
hit both free throws, but it was really a three
point ballgame.''

Unfortunately for the Titans, they were
forced to ace a fired-up team from Clark in
the finals of the consolation bracket.
Clark lost its first game of the tournament,
then destroyed Green River 101-65 after
leading by a 38-35 margin at the half.
They continued their torrid pace in the
first half against Lane, doubling the Titans)
score to lead 51-25.
'' Clark ran its fastbreak exceptionally well
and their outisde game was good. We just
couldn't keep up with them defensively,"
offered Thompson.
Center Tami Hickman of Clark scored 20
points (eight of nine from the field) to share
scoring honors with teammate Kathy

- Kernall. - - At the other end, Rogers had another
strong game, scoring 10 points on a perfect
five for five from the field, and Walker broke
out of her tournament slump to fire in 16
points on seven of eleven field goals.
However, Melevin fouled out and Baltzer
ran into early foul trouble, which was perfect
for Clark's fastbreaking offense. Melevin
covers the outlet pass on defense and
Baltzer' s board strength is essential if the
Titans are to stop a team that like to
fastbreak. Against Clark, the game was all so
over once the Titans lost Melevin and
Baltzer.
Even amid the gloom of a mediocre 12-11
season and the loss to Clark, Thompson
found a bright spot.
"At least Gale had a super tournament,"
said Thompson.

Titans cop third at Region 18 tournament
by Steve Myers
Three starters on the men's basketball
team suffered from the effects of the flu bug
during the Region 18tournament, March 3-4
.
at Coeur D'Alene, lda~o. ___
The Titans opened tournament action
against the College of Southern Idaho with
starters Roger Bates, Pat Fendall, and Steve
Halverson suffering from the flu.
The Titans were destroyed in all phases of
the contest as they were soundly beaten by
the much larger Idaho team, 65-36.
''Our big men were intimidated by their
big men's jumping ability," added Bates.
''We missed a lot of inside shots that we
should of hit. It was a dissapointing
performance by the people who were
healthy.''
Lane shot a dismal 31 per cent from the
field for the game. They could connect on
only 13 of 42 shots. No one could manage to
score in double figures for the Titans. The
Idaho team was a different story. They
managed to hit 28 of 59 shots from the fie]d 1
for a 47 per cent avera12:e. the bulk of the
scoring coming from their two All-Region
guards. They combined for 43 points to
spark Southern Idaho to the easy victory.
' 'Curtis Rayford ate Fendall up in the first
half. He scored 18 points," recaUed Bates.
'' We put roger on him in the second half, but
their other guard (Jerry Williams) took over
and scored 15 points.''
Bates feels that if his team had been
healthy the Titans might have given them a

previous day to Northern Idaho 66-60.
Against Central Oregon, Lane employed
the half court pressure defense that had
worked so well in the last two meetings

during league play. The defensive strategy
worked and the Titans defeated Central for
the third consecutive time this season,
85-81. Bill Schaefers and Keith Baltzer
compensated for the loss 7>f starters Bates
and Fendall. Bates didn't suit up and
Fendall played only sparingly. Baltzer and
Schaefers combined for 54 points and 20
rebounds.
"It was nice to beat them again," said
Bates. ''We beat them on a neutral floor and
without a full strength squad.''
Lane wrapped up its 77-78 season with a
27-5 season record and a 14-2 league record.

deal.''

in the tax base (if the college requests an
increase) "unless the college makes a
real effort to explain why'' an increase is
needed, he told the 'torch. There is room
for improvement, he thinks, in the way
the "community thinks about the
college ... the college can help in that
effort."
He believes there is a relationship
between increased enrollment and
tuition.
"The taxpayers are being
squeezed ... the college is under more
pressure to increase tuition in the
future ... (so) if enrollment is higher, (the)
pressures aren't so great,'' he said.

millions for 1978-79, Lauris believes that
the solution will have to be a combination
ofactions. "There is no easy answer. We
will have to look at every planned
expenditure and say, 'Is it really
necessary?' '' She also expects the Board
to ask the voters for an increase in the tax
base, which, according to Lauris, ''would
raise our income for a few years until
inflation catches up with it again."
On the Board's recent decision to raise
student tuition, effective Fall Term 1978,
Lauris explained thatshe believes it was a
"reasonable compromise." She added,
"It demonstrated that we expect the

carry.''
Another concern Lauris discussed was
LCC' s accessibilityu to the general
public. "We have to reach out to people
and let them know they're welcome (at
LCC)," she stated. "Outreach programs, the BUs, and the Downtown
Center are all operative parts of the
community college." While she believes
that the transfer credit and vocational
programs are equally important, Lauris
stressed that the evening credit program
should be expanded. "It needs to be
almost as varied and complete as the day
time program,' ' she explained, ''in order
to serve a wider range of students.
"In the future," Lauris concluded,
"we will have to do more about our own
welfare and livelihood--we should be
learning to do those things through the
community college.''

Adult Education classes, he says, would

not be inappropriate. ''What you get for
$15(inAdultEducationclasses) you can't
get from anyplace else," he says. He
added that a further increase in full-time
tuition, from $132.50 to $135.00 may also
be required to balance the $1.2 million
deficit for next school year.
If the college decides to ask for money
from the voters, Hanks believes there
should be a request to change the tax
base. ''This college has such a good
reputation ... '' he explained, '' Ithink the
people would support a broader tax
base .''
LCC should maintain its present level
of outreach programs (to outlying
districts), he says. "I believe in the
outreach programs. The people in those
communities paying taxed should get

support more projects like it.
The college can increase its accessibility he thinks, by expanding the Adult
Education programs. Special emphasis
should be placed on programs directed
towards the handicapped and senior
citizens because ''(they) pay taxes, but
don't quite reap the regards."
He says he is running for the Board
because it need"someone ... with new,
different ideas. I believe there can be
stagnation in politics."

Wheeler also feels the college's enrollment could increase by offering ''quality
education" and programs that the community needs or wants. Wheeler favors holding
a survey to find out types of programs the
college could offer that would be desired by
the community. He adds that, "If outreach
education is needed, then LCC should
supply it."
Unless the benefits outweigh the added
expense, Wheeler does not favor tuition
increases. "You have to be careful not to
make tuition so expensive that the
community loses access.'' He also feels the
present tuition is too high and admits to not
being familar with the financial side of
the proposed budget deficit. Wheeler adds
that, ''In my opinion there were other
options that were not adequately looked at.''
Wheeler sees the present board as not
meeting the needs of the student,
'' Obviously the students are not being taken
care of, they're the ones who get screwed by
any policy the board sets down, they're the
ones who get it.'' Wheeler also favors
maintaining a link between the students and
the activities of the board, a position that he
would be willing to participate in.
