The proposed handbook will also describe
an instructor's method of lecturing. ''Some
instructors are real challenging. Others are
good at getting information out," he said.
He plans to lay the groundwork for the
evaluation guide over the summer. It will
include the "emphasis" of specific courses.
Cox says it will be more ''in-depth'' than the
instructor/course evaluation handbook
published this year by the Language Arts
Dept., which describes each instructor's
evaluation of a course, as opposed to a
student's evaluation. The ASLCC publication will be "more in line with what in
instructor does do,'' he explained.
He says he plans to distribute a
questionnaire to students that will ask
"specific" questions about instructor
"traits ." He realizes that "whenever you
say 'teacher evaluations,' instructors are
alarmed. They are somewhat skeptic:d that
something might be libelous. (But) the
questions will avoid anything like that. My
real hope is to get cooperation and feedback
(from instructors) in forming" the handbook.
Both men hope to increase communication
between students and the ASLCC. Cox
wants to make use of bulletins as a way to
'' make students aware of issues in the
Administration and departments.'' He calls
a lack of communication between the student
body and its representatives one "of the
largest deterants" of increased student

Lev y wou ld add $78 4,00 0 to tax bas e
Commentary by Wes Heath
Economics majors at LCC aren't the only
ones struggling right now with complicated
arithmetic. That's because there are no less
than 19 different tax base measures on the
May 23 ballot in Lane County, including the
one drafted by LCC.
And, although most of us will need to vote
on just one or two of those measures, all of
them require some homework.
To the Editor:
Briefly, a tax base is the amount of ·

request an updated tax base which absorbs
the deficit.
LCC officials have opted for the latter
alternative (requesting a new tax base of
$6.05 million), because the funds would not
have to be reapproved by voters year after
year.
If this base is approved, the tax rate on
county property would increase about seven
cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation, from
$1.35 to$ l. 42. However, the Administration
points out that this increase is actually 19
cents per $1,000 less than it was during the
1975-1976 school year, and about the same
as it was five years ago. Of course, due to the
rising cost of property, most homeowners
will actually be paying a higher total amount
than in previous years.
If the base increase fails, LCC will hold a
special election on June 27 to request the
same funds, $784,000, in the form of a tax
levy.
According to Bert Dotson, assistant to
LCC President Eldon Schafer, the Board
eliminated most of the expected deficit by
making an across-the-board reduction in
department al budgets and by installing an
"energy manageme nt system" to cut the
electricity bill. The recent tuition hike is
expected to account for an additional
$100,000 savings.
If both the tax base measure and the tax
levy fail, Dotson said the pinch would
probably be felt in class scheduling because
labor costs (which will be 27 per cent higher
next year) account for 76 per cent of the
school budget. He said savings could be
most readily made by reducing the number
of classes the college offers and by cutting
back on staff.

Much is at stake for LCC students, faculty,
and staff members in the May 23 election on
the new tax base for the college. In order to
keep tuition from going up further and to
maintain quality in education, this measure
needs to pass.
Inflation, which has pushed up salary
expenses, is the only reason for the needed
increase in revenue. There are no new
programs; in fact, cuts have been made
already in order to minimize the inflationcaused increase. Any further significant cuts
will seriously hurt students. College
personnel will have to be laid off; therefore,
educational offerings will be reduced and
there will be renewed pressure to raise
tuition to make up for the lack of tax revenue.
The election is not a referendum on how
the budget is made up. Actually, the voting
measure only asks if the necessary amount of
money will be raised to support operation of
LCC. The vote will have no effect upon
budget priorities, but only on the amount of
money available to the college.
A new tax base will allow the college to do a
better job of planning ahead. This will help
keep good faculty members and assure
potential students that the program they
want will continue to be available. In the long
run, it's much better that the college have a
sound financial foundation.
Please vote on the primary on May 23 and
don ' t overlook the LCC tax base measure.
Please vote "yes" for the benefit of future
LCC students and the communities that
they'll serve with their new skills.
Sincerely,
Tom Ruckman

The nine western districts in the League
for Innovation have been awarded a
$95,000federal grant from the Department
of Energy for solar energy research.
The League for Innovation is a national
consortium of 16 districts that include 48
public community colleges representing
more than 500,000 credit students in
eleven states.
The League is one of the first national
educational consortiunis that functions
specifically to stimulate innovation and
experimentation, according to Bert Dotson, assistant to LCC President Eldon
Schafer.
The grant will allow LCC, a member of
the League, to send three faculty members
to a solar energy workshop this summer.
The workshop will provide training in the

techniques and skills required to install

be held in the Coast District at Costa Mesa
in Southern California.
Faculty committees within the designated departments will choose the instructors
to attend the workshop, said Dotson.
"This program really started in May of
last hear, he said. "That's when we heard
that the Department of Energy would
award grants to colleges for solar energy
research.''
Faculty members to receive training will
be selected from the occupational and
technical ~reas such as science, drafting
and engineering. After completing the 10
day to two-week workshop the instructors
will write course guidelines for student
instruction in these areas.

Judy Nelson, Dowtown Center coordinator.
National Architectural Barriers Awareness Week has been designated by
President Carter as a nationwide effort to
increase community '' awareness of the
handicapped individual,'' Nelson ·explained.
"There are two kinds of barriers," she
said, "architectural barriers and attitudinal
barriers--(the) preconceived notions about
handicapped individuals that often disappear when architectural barriers disappear.'' Architectural barriers are structures
that have been designed and constructed
without meeting the needs of handicapped
individuals. Some examples of architectural
barriers, Nelson said, that can be found in
structures are elevated light switches, heavy
doors, a lack of elevators, high street curbs,
and stairways.
''The thrust is to raise visibility; to look at
the handicapped person in a positive light,''
she says.

Dance film offers insight into Russians
Film Review by Janice Brown
The child's face is wet with tears. She is
sobbing as though the world had come to an
end. Her mother stands sternly by; with one
hand she tenderly wipes the tears from her
daughter's eyes.
The 12 year old girl's dream-world has
come to an end. She has been rejected from
lhe Kirov School of Ballet. She is not alone
though. Every year 2,000 children between
the ages of nine and 12 apply to the school,
but only 20 applicants are accepted.
•'The Children of Theatre Street''
currently at the Waco Cinema is a
documentary film narrated by Princess
Grace of Monaco. Ittells about life within the .
Kirov School of Ballet located in the Russian
cityofLe_ningrad. Much of the film's footage
is shot in various places in Leningrad, ·a
lovely city, and the cinematographer used
imagination while photographing it.
This is a film about dance, but it has a
broader scope, too. The audience really
begins to understand the attitudes of the
Russian people by watching the children in
the school.
I know of no parallel in the U.S. to use as an
analogy in describing the life of the children
in the Kirov school. Those who are accepted
into the school are subject to discipline and
responsibility that American children just do
not face.

A free musical concert will be presented by the Department of Performing Arts, Lane
Community College, on Thursday, May 18, at 8:00 p.m. in the performing arts theatre.
The Vocal Jazz Ensemble, directed by Dan Sachs, will sing a varied program, including Cy
Oliver's "Opus 1," Rogers and Hart's "My Funny Valentine," Bob Thomspon's
"Kinky," and "Tuxedo Junction" which will be pedormed by the women's quartet.
Nathan Cammack's Baroque Orchestra will present two works only, both by Vivaldi:
The Concerto in D Major for Two Trumpets, featuring Bruce Marler and Bill Talbot; and
the Concerto for Two Violins, Two Flutes, Two Oboes, and Bassoon.
(For information call Dept. of Performing Arts, 747-4501, ext. 318.)
The film is unbiased. It merely shows what
goes on at the school. To be accepted into the
dance program the children must have the
potential for what is called, ''the perfect
dancer's body," a standard based on
information about dancers and dancing fed
into a computer.

'Reverse discrimination'
a problem in southern colleges
(CPS)--The scenario sounds familiar
enough. A group of faculty members at a
large southern university sue the university
charging arbitrary dismissal because of their
race. They say there is a pattern of
discrimination. They say they represent a
fractional minority of the faculty and
administration. The judge rules in their
favor, and their reinstatement is probable.
This time, however, the plaintiffs are
white.
The precedent-making ruling agreed with
twelve white faculty mem.b ers at Alabama
State University--Alabama's oldest and
largest traditionally black college--that the
school is guilty of racial discrimination.
The May 2 ruling also opens a complicated
can of worms about "reverse discrimination'' at traditionally black colleges.
For years desegregation efforts in higher
education have focused on increased access
of blacks to predominantly white colleges.
While civil rights groups aided the fight of
black professors denied jobs at white
universities, complaints from white teachers
were scarce. When filed, they were usually
ignored by presidents of black colleges, says
Nathaniel Jones, general counsel for the.
National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People (NAACP);
Now, in light of more vigorously-enforced
desegregation processes, administrators of
black colleges are faced with the implications of fully-desegregated systems. Integration--the same goal civil rights groups
have advocated so long--could bring about
the weakening or even the death of black
institutions.
'Stealing' Black Students and Faculty
Black administrators readily admit their
schools are in trouble. Progress and money
have been slow in coming. As a student from
North Carolina, which has five of the nation's
34 black colleges, characterizes it, ''This
state has had a history of not funding black
institutions at the level they should be
funded." Complains another, "White
schools in North Carolina have more money,
better staffs, and better_facilities than black
schools.''
As a result, enrollment has suffered.
"What has been quietly happening is that
most of the better-prepared black students
are not necessarily going to black
institutions," says Leonard Haynes of the
Institute for Services to Education. ''Black
students are going to schools where they feel
they will be enhanced.''
Enrollment at public black colleges has
dropped for the second year in a row, this
time by seven per cent. Administrators fear
the drain can also be attributed to increased
recruiting efforts by white schools pressed to
meet affirmative action requirements.
Worse yet for the black schools is a HEW
' requirement that forbids an ''unnecessary
duplication of programs at black and white
schools located near each other.'' HEW' s
solution would be to merge the programs, or
close one of them. Since programs at black
schools are usually regarded as inferior, it is
feared that the solution would more often be
to close out the black program, or even the
school.
Desegregation is a ''kind of dilemma that
is splitting the community," says Johnny
Hill, director of the Office for Advancement
of Public Negro Colleges. ''On the one hand,
most people realize the need to increase the
access for blacks throughout the higher
education system. But some are worried that
the process will lead to the same kind of
situation you saw during the public school
desegregation of the sixties, where (black)
schools were closed down and people lost
their jobs."
Presidents Oppose Desegregation
But a more bothersome conundrum is that
some black institutions really don't want to
be integrated. They theorize that full
desegregation could weaken the role ofb)ack
institutions in meeting the specialized needs
of black students, in serving the black
community and in producing black leaders.
9pposing the demand for stronger
Ralph Jones, president of Grambling
State University in Louisiana, feels black
colleges have a responsibility to the black
desegregation two years ago, more than 100 community and opposes any merging with
black college presidents filed a friend of the white institutions "We understand the
court brief. It opined that black colleges are problems a young~ often poor, black boy or

Whatever desegregation measures black
colleges will take remains to be seen, but for
now the situation is best summarized by
Nathaniel Jones of NAACP, "Black
institutions must face the facts: They can't
have it both ways. They have to adhere to the
same taws and principles that apply to white
state institutions."

from middle income families may now be
eligible. The Or~gon State Scholarship
Commission (OSSC) which administers the
program, can now make grants to students
whose family income is up to $17,000,
assuming an average family of two parents
and two children. Previously, grants were
only made to students whose family income
was $12,000 or less. Grants may be awarded
to families whose income exceeds $17,000

Vicki
There's a simple formula that Vicki follows. It involves getting up early on
most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays--often with the first rays of the sun,
since she has to be at work by 8 a. m. --and doing a distance workout. Or skipping
her lunch hour Tuesdays and Thursdays for interval work. Or driving over to
South Eugene High' s track for a late afternoon workout--after she gets off work
at 5 p.m.
'' I can't really workout twice a day because it's hard to cram all that into one
day,'' says Graves·. '' But I wish I could devote more time to running,'' she adds
rather wistfully.
Four years ago, Vicki graduated from Crow High School after a highly
successful track career.
its toll on the former Crow High star: "I was dead," remembers Vicki. "I was
really out of shape . I hadn't been doing anything since I took a jogging class a few
summers ago.''
But in the ensuing weeks hard work payed off. She rapidly improved, finishing
the season as the number four runner on the team.
"My times kept going down. I was really surprised at how well I did."
She kept running during the off-season between cross country and track,
concentrating mainly on distance work (four to eight miles a day). On the advice
of Coach Theriault, she avoided speedwork (fast running).
Mrs. Graves thinks that determination is the key to her daughter's success.
"She's pretty self-motivating .. . she has trained a lot on her own . Even if we all-,
went on a vacation, she would do it (train).''
Vicki talks about her hectic schedule with a note of humor, yet gets perturbed
by the "sob stories" she hears from others about their busy schedules.
''What is really strange is talking to people ... they complain about all the
things they have to do. I just kind of sit back and laugh . .. They would name all the
things they had to do and I would think 'Yea, tell me about it."'
In early January she was clocking 64 or 65 second 400 meter time trials. Her
best in highschoolhadbeen61.9, which, according to Vicki ''isn't that super of a
time.''
By April , though, she was running in the low 62' sand she finally set a personal
best of 61.5in amini-meetatthe University of Oregon's Hayward Field--far from

Distancemen lead thinclads to sixth Region 18 title
by John Healy
The University of Oregon and Washington
State are known for their outstanding
distance runners. Dual meets between the
two teams are usually decided by who wins
the distance wars.
American distancemen versus the Kenyans from what some critics call Kenya

Now there is a second battle being waged
in the Pacific Northwest that involves two
community colleges who stress the distance

The regional title the Titans brought home
last weekend was their sixth in the last seven
years. The only break in the string came
last year, when Ricks used a distance corps

demolish Lane 173 1/2-124.

Summer nursery school opening

An all new summer nursery school

The program is intended to expand the
experience of youngsters, and to enhance
the qualities of being young--such as a

companionship, according to a pamphlet

SHS dedicated
Attempting to dedicate the new
$106,000 Student Health Service (SHS) last
Friday, May 6, SHS Director Laura Oswalt
had to shout that the facility had come from •
a very small beginning to '' One of the most
complete community college health care
centers in the country.'' The ceremony in
the cafeteria was not amplified with public
address equipment.
And the 40 to 50 students eating their
meals and loudly playing cards were
unaware of the speakers attempting to
congratulate the SHS: President Eldon
Schafer, Dean of Students Jack Carter, and
the first student health coordinator, John
Loeber, had to reduce their remarks to brief
statements.
.
In an interview this week Oswalt said
that the SHS idea began in 1972 when the
student body voted to use about $15,000 of
student activity fee monies to support
health care. Then, she said, she, Loeber,
and others worked to convince the college
administration, medical community, and
Board of Education to improve the
"first-aid station" concept fo well-rounded health services for students, at the
lowest possible costs.
Six years later, at the time of the
dedication, the SHS boasts a staff of a
half-time physician, half-time lab technician, two full-time nurses and a secretary.
It operates on a $90,167 yearly budget, sees
about 40 patients per day (last month,
1,658). And, she noted, "We are proud
that we have kept the cost of medical care as
low as we can -- $7.69 per patient visit Jast
year.''
