• @De Comm ~ltu Colleg e Vol. 16 No. 9 Nov. 16 - , 1978 --4000 East 30th Ave. E:ugene, OR 97 405 Board votes to extend contract By Steve Myers of The TORCH The LCC lagoon ducks broke the ice Tuesday morning at sunrise. Since they're already on campus, th reats of freezing temperatures or snow couldn't worry them. But all LCC students and staff members use the highways to commute and in the past when ice an d snow have made travel dangerous, the college has cancelled classes. Who decides when to close the school and how do they go about it? The final decision is made by the president , according to the LCC Business Operations Manual, but first several other steps have to be taken. If it snows or ice forms during the mght, the security crew checks the campu s to establish an overall report. They also contact the Oregon State Police and the U.S. Weather Bureau to determine the forec ast for the next several hours and to estimate pote ntial highway hazards. With this information the grounds manager is advised of conditions and he in turn decides if sanding the wa lkways on campus is necessary . The president is to be contacted no later than 5: 30 a.m. and he decides whe ther to close the school or not. The information is then passed on to local rad io stations and the LCC switchboard . Story by K aren M aller. Photo by Jeff Patterson . In a surprise move, the LCC Board of Education Wednesday night voted . to extend President Eldon Schafer' s contract for one year. Accordipg to Bert Dotson, assistant to the president, Schafer is currently in the second year of a three-year contract. He adds that the extension is a vote of confidence from the board to the President. Delta Sanderson, LCC Education Association President and a member of a committee established by Schafer in order to evaluate his performance , said she was ''fairly insulted'' by the Board 's failure to review the committee's evaluation before extending the President's contract. Sanderson's concern centered around a previous board meeting in which Evelyn Tennis, evaluation committee chairman, asked the board to extend the Dec. 1 deadline for submission of the evaluation to Jan. 1. Sanderson said that by extending Schafer's contract at this time, the board was neglecting the input of the evaluation committee. However, Board Chairman Larry Perry continued on Page 4 Gremlins attack cainpus clocks by Ron Coleman for The TORCH Clocks out of order? Starting Monday, Nov. 12, at an undetermined moment---time stopped at LCC. The campus clocks registered different times in different buildings---but none was accurate. The Director of Plant Services (and clocks), Walt VanOrden, was contacted Tuesday to explain why 95 percent of the campus clocks were out of order for the first time in 12 years. There must be a gremlin in the system,'' he said. ''It could be just a speck of dust on the points in the master controls or some electronic part malfuctioning. •We're not exactly sure at this point.'' The master control device normally adjusts the clocks each day at. 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. to the correct hour. In fact, even when Van Orden's crew members make some repairs on the system, they can't check to see if they've been successful until 5 a.m. or 5 p.m. during the following day ... Gremlins! ''This Honeywell system is now 12 years old,'' the director stated, '' and their people took out the master controls and are working on them in the boiler room just east of the Center Building." However, the director explained that ev-erything would get back to normal. .. but he didn't say at what time, or by whose clock. Gremlins. Most of the office personnel learned to rely on their own watches. And they didn't go home an hour early or late, or miss lunch. Meanwhile John Raynes, a second-year drafting student, thinks he gained an hour of study time when he left school at 5 p.m. and arrived home at 4 p.m. Or did he really Jose an hour? Hands -on trainin g lures Califo rnian by Michael Tenn of The TORCH "You can't go to a (television) station for a job and tell them: Well, I can't run a camera but I wrote a great paper on the theory of communication," says Paul Machu, talking about his decision to attend LCC and take advantage of the hands-on training in the Mass Communications Department. Machu, 30, recently moved to Oregon from Hollywood. Growing up in the movie capitol of the world, Machu is certainly no stranger to the mass media in its various forms. Before moving to Eugene, Machu was working as an apprentice assistant film editor for Zapalla-Sloat, a Los Angeles production company, and he also worked as an extra in a few television commercials. Machu has done free-lance still photography and worked as a reception coordinator for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a job he describes as "in-house public relations." Although he originally wanted to break into the motion picture business, Machu found himself ''. . . kind of floundering, doing these miscellaneous media jobs. I didn't see a future living in L.A.'' Machu's decision to move to Eugene didn't happen over night. He has visited the Northwest as often as possible during the last eight years. And it was eight years ago, while visiting a sister living on the McKenzie River, that Machu first saw this city. " I wanted to leave L.A. and I also wanted to go to school," says Machu who finally moved to Eugene last year so that he could establish residency for UO. While waiting to become a Paul Machu didn't see a future in L.A. Photo by Jeff Patterson. resident, Machu checked out the program at LCC and decided that LCC had more to offer. Machu says he felt that the UO offered too much theory and not enough "hands-on" training . Now finishing his first term here , Machu says: "So far , Mass Communications (classes) here has lived up to any expectations I've had up to this point .'' Machu especially likes the. production crew classes which he says "enable me to have confidence seeking a job." The streets of LCC haven't been paved with gold , however . Machu says that when he was enrolling he experienced several problems which he attributes to errors on the part of some LCC employees. "None of it ever went smoothly," says Machu who claims he received ina~curate information from the admissions and financial aid offices. At registration, "Financial Aid told me that there was no deadline for applications," says Machu, "and at registration, the staff wasn't clear •about their own procedures.'' Like most students, Machu survived the inconvenience and plans on attending LCC for two years. Machu notes that Eugene has grown up a lot since he first visited this city. "It seems that Eugene is growing the same way L.A. continued on p~ge 4 (The-Second Page) fl A[)eNMARJ'. JI, tb-18 1'o~cll 6 Nov.l - ~ LAW FACTS by Joe McKeever Students• Legal Counsel Many LCC students have expressed interest in their right to privacy. As students, you do have certain specially protected rights for privacy under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (The Buckley Amendment). This act is interestingly named for one of its chief sponsors, former conservative Senator James Buckley. It provides definite safeguards for student confidentiality and access to records. The Buckley Amendment applies to all institutions of higher learning that accept assistance from the federal government. LCC falls within this category. ,·I 1 ,\ll111 CONFIDENTIALITY Colleges are required not to release any information about a student without the written consent of that student. There are some very limited exceptions such as request by the F.B.I. for a specific purpose related to law enforcement. Another exception applies to requests by persons within the college but only if those persons are acting for a legitimate educational purpose. In other words, an instructor or a dean may not simply look into your file for reasons of idle curiosity or because he or she is fishing for something negative (or positive). The college must also maintain a list of any persons who have requested and been allowed to examine a student's file. If.you feel informatio~ in your reeords is inaeeurate, you eon request the eollege eorreet it. STUDENT DIRECTORY The Buckley Amendment allows the college to publish a student directory, listing the student's name, address, phone number, major, years of attendance and similar information. But a student may request any part or all of this information be withheld from the directory. RIGHT TO INSPECT You also have a right to inspect your student records. You may request copies of documents in your records. If you feel that some of the information in your file is incorrect, you can ask the coll~e to amend the records to make corrections or to remove any erroneous information. If the college refuses such a request, you can ask for a hearing to challenge the records. The college is required to amend any· of its records found inaccurate or inappropriate by the hearing officer. Should you lose at the hearing, you may still submit your own written statement explaining your side of the issue. This statement becomes a permanent part of your student record.

The turkey is a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America. Benjamin Franklin Road should elose to LCC traffle To The Editor -I just read the "Car flips ...

The attempt to close it was stopped by a hearing (City Council, I think) at which students, employees, etc. of L.C.C. protested.

WAIVER A student may waive his or her right to inspect a part of the student's record. This right becomes important for such things as letters. of recommendation where an instructor might feel more free to give a candid appraisal of the student if he knows the student will not see the letter of recommendation. A Landlord-Tenant Workshop is being held this Thursday, Nov. 16, sponsored by the ASLCC and off-campus housing officer at LCC and the University of Oregon. Major issues involving Landlord-Tenant rights will be discussed. Both tenants and landlords are invited for open sessions involving strengths and weaknesses of the present Landlord-Tenant law, proposed new legislation, and tenant organizing. • Sincerely Joyce Salisbury Language Arts PEANUTS® by Charles M.

The computerized electronic dfal system will replace the electro-mechanical program currently in use. Called Dimension 2000, the electronic console will update LCC's present phone system and will provide many features not available with the present switchboard. Accordin~ to Mark Rocchio, director of Campus Support Services, the new program will pay for itself in four years. Rocchio anticipates a $53,000 per year savings to LCC through a reduced need for switchboard operators and the ability for phone users on campus to direct dial their own long-distance calls. Only one full-time operator will be needed to run Dimension 2000 compared with the 3 or 4 operators needed to maintain the present switchboard. Evelyn Tennis, president-elect of the LCC Employees Federation, said that she would like to see some consideration by the LCC Board and the administration on behalf of the operators whose jobs will be terminated as a result of the new communic~tions system. Tennis feels that the women should be transferred to other positions for which they are qualified at LCC or given preference for other LCC jobs they may apply for. Tennis said that she brought this to the Boatd of Education's attention at its meeting last Wednesday and "left with the feeling that ·the Board was concerned and' sympathetic and that the adminstration would make every effort to find jobs for them." Mary Michaud, one of the operators whose job is on the line, said: ''We feel very insecure at this time although Mr. Birch [Tony Birch, Dean of Business Operations] has said they are working on it." LCC presently has 196 phone lines to accommodate 395 phones. With the new program, 395 lines will be provided, thus, helping to eliminate the caller's waiting time. Several phones are now connected to a common extension. When Dimension 2000 becomes operable, each phone will have its own four-digit number. The new phones will all have touch tone dialing. Pacific Northwest Bell is installing the Dimension 2000 system which was built by Western Electric. One hundred of the new phones on campus will be programmed with frequently called numbers. Called "speed call" this will allow users to complete their calls with the touch of a button instead of dialing the entire number. "Call forwarding" will allow an individual to program their phone so that incoming calls will be routed to a different phone. For example, the call may be routed to a different location if a person expects to be in a different office than their own while waiting for an important call. Another feature, called ·"pick-up," allows a person to answer a ringing phone from a diff~rent phone by dialing a code. • "Cuing" is a built-in memory that enables a phone to dial a predetermined number. If a caller finds that the number they want is busy, "cuing" will enable the phone to automatically repeat the call within a specified time of up to 15 minutes. According to Rocchio, the LCC installa- tion has been given top priority by Pacific Northwest Bell. The phone company hopes to have the project completed before the new phone directories are printed. Construction time will total 12 w~~ks, making· Jan. 2 the target date for completion of the Dimension 2000 installation. ------- Paclftc Northwest Bell ·employee Pete Petenon 80l't8 wire u put of the Installation of LCC'• new phone -aystem.

By Oct. 12, measles had been recognized in two Portland, Ore. high schools, where three of the students required hospitalization. Soon several hundred susceptible stu·•dents in these schools were giv~n the measles vaccine for their protection. Next, the disease was identified in Jackson County, to the south of us. Now, measles has been identified in the Eugene-Springfield area. Private medical doctors, the Lane County Health Department and the Springfield School District are all working hard to give the measles vaccine to susceptible persons. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases of man. Death (predominantly from respiratory and neurologic causes) is associated with measles in one out of every l,000 cases. Encephalitis occurs in one out of every 1,000 reported cases. Measles is preventable! Don't let it happen to you. If you have had hard measles (Rubeola) once, you should not have it again. If you had the measles vaccine in the '60s, it may be indicated that you should be revaccinaed. If you have not had measles, you shquld be vaccinated provided it is not contraindicated for you. Contraindications include pregnancy, leukemia, lymphomas and other generalized neoplasms, severe illness, acti~e tuberculosis not under treatment, severe egg sensitivity, and prior transfusion of whole blood or immune serum. Measles is an acute, highly communicable viral disease. It starts out with fever, runny nose, coughJ reddened and itching eyes sensitive to light, and whitish spots on the inner cheeks. On about the third or , seventh day of illness, a dusky•red, blotchy rash appears on the face, neck and chest and becomes generalized, lasting four to six days and followed by peeling. The disease is generally more severe in adults than in children. Complications of measles can be serious. The disease is spread by droplets as people cough, talk or laugh; or by direct contact with nasal or throat secretions or ,t he urine of infected persons . The incubation per~ (from contact time to the time one comes down with the disease) is about 10 days or less, until the onset of fever; it takes about 14 days for the rash to occur. Immunizations may be obtained from your friendly local public health department for a small fee (which can be waived if hardship is declared) or from your private medical doctor.

I just hope Eugene ·can control -its growth and maintain its liveability." Machu, who has personally witnessed the failure of freeways (in LA.) to solve transporation problems, thinks that a good masstransit system is a necessity in Eugene. Machu hopes he never has to return to Los Angeles. "I love the media in all' its forms-journalism, motion pictures and the others- but I'm centering on TV as a medium I cc>n be involved in without being restricted to living in L.A. or New York." Machu thinks that he might _like to become involved with media in other countries. " I've heard that some South American countries, like Costa Rica , really need trained technicians, ' ' says Machu , "but that 's just one possibility. Eugene is in my future for the next couple of years , at least." explained that the extension had to be made by Dec. 15. Perry's statement was corroborated by Schafer's contract, released to the press after the board meeting, which contains the Dec. 15 deadline. , Pat John, another evaluation committee member, said that the committee "had been misled'' into believing its input would be used by the board in its decision on the contract extension. This opinion was echoed by other committee members. Dotson, also a committee member, explained after the meeting that Schafer had previously informed the committee that its evaluation would have no effect on the contract extension. Dotson added that the evaluation produced by the committee would be used by the president to ascertain his strengths .and weaknesses. Perry indicated that he ·wasn't aware of the misunderstanding that existed between the committee and the board. He said that the committee report was not meant to be used in the extension procedure, but was important to the president as a learning continued from Page 1 lO NEWS-IN-BRIEF tool. Perry apologized for the misunderstanding. Board member Les Hendrickson cast the lone dissenting vote on the extension, saying that in its handling of the entire evaluation process the board had '' antagonized the press and staff." Board members Stephen Reid and Catherine Lauris did not attend the . meeting. h1 other business, the board: • Awarded a contract for $18,939 to the Casey Jones Well Drilling Company, for drilling wells behind the LCC Downtown Center.

"Without puns and puzzles there can be no serious art - which is to say, there is nothing but serious A show of Crockett's drawings, paintings and sculpture will be on "Powetlul art is real...not an illusion of reality ... it exists. I want people, when they look at art, to experience the kind of awe that maybe the first human beings felt when they looked upon the stars .'' Alan Crockett ROBERTSON'S DRUGS display in the AAD Gallery until Nov. 23. His works often puzzle viewers. Some of his large pieces of sculpture are made of Fixall, a material used by carpenters to fill · holes in plaster walls, and coated with shimmering applications of resin and luminous paint; they light up electrically and glow in the dark. His pictures contain titles and verbal messages with the visual images: "I'm a whole without a frame," "coming up on a fear thing," "shy time ." Serious art should ask questions, • explains Crockett, who regards his work as serious art in contrast to representational art ''that gives all the answers.'' Sometimes he uses the concept of the rebus (a riddle composed of symbols or pictures to signify words) to make picture and word puzzles which '' ask questions of interest.'' Other times he plays on puns. In a drawing containing the title, "!"leart carni," Crockett says he is ''playing around with the themes of the heart- a wonderful lovely shape -and the extra-real world of carnival." He adds, "The viewer says, 'Oh, I get it,' but still leaves feeling puzzled.'' One visual image which appears repeatedly in his sculptural forms as well as in his drawings and paintings is a profile of a face. Some artists are detached from their work, according to Crockett's explanation, but, ''I'm more into it so I tend to put myself symbolically in it with the profile. '' Crockett practiced law for fiveand-a-half years before he abandoned it to pursue his lifelong interest in art. He received his BFA and MF A degrees from the San Francisco Art Institute. While there he was awarded the Joseph Escobosa Scholarship. Besides the LCC display, his work is currently being shown at the Portland Art Museum and at the Open Gallery in Eugene. He has also had other exhibits on the West Coast.

Organization of Arab Students Schwartz, the play centers around the life of Pippin, son of King Charlemagne, the eighth-century European monarch. Pippin has just returned home from his studies and (like most recent college graduates) is wondering about his future. The play is saturated with wild theatrics and technical complexities. Ragozzino notes that "if's a technica!ly complicated, elaborate show. To the audience it will seem simple, but behind the simplicity is a great deal of technical ingenuity.

"We sold about 80 percent of the tickets available as season tickets. We might still turn up with a few tickets when people ·17 floots "" family"" 345-8316 by Paul Land of The TORCH Photo by Rockie Moch.

Demand for "Pippin" has been- so ·great, in fact, that in October the department added three performances, bringing the total number to eightbut the three new performances sold out immediately. Director Ed Ragozzino calls '' Pippin" "a fun, complex and elaborate show.'' Written bv Roger O. Hirlson with music and -Tyrics by Stephen effects that are really incredible and take a great deal of pre-production organization.'' With all the intricacies involved in the play it's no surprise that "Pippin" has the largest crew yet assembled for an LCG Theatre production-over 20 people are involved behind the scenes during the show, in addition to a cast of 22. "Pippin" opens the day after Thanksgiving and continues with 8 r,.m. performances each evening except Sunday through Dec. 2. Delivered with style and competence Jazz group carries its own by Dennis Ramsey for The TORCH The Instrumental Jazz Ensemble • may have changed the minds of all who expected a mediocre show Thursday night with its performance. The show was a sweet blend of old standard and new jazzology. I entered the main-stage auditorium half-way through the first number amid dissonant, bleating reeds, grumbling to myself, "How the hell am I going to pan this bomb?'' An embarassing prospect. But after a warm-up, the group proved it could carry its own, delivering some fastpaced blows to the sometimes silly jazz ethic that only improvisational music makes a new statement. I repeatedly recognized a solid ensemble rapport, free from the conceptual mess that seems to accompany more .. modern" jazz forms. Old standards like Ellington's '' In a Mellow Tone" and Gillespy's "Bebop'' were delivered with style and r" I competence by the group. Bandleacter/trumpeter Bart Bartholomew punctuated the performance with some excellent solos of his own. Also on the bill were a couple of numbers that hinted to at least a tacit concern for the commercial jazz-rock/ muzak jazz orientation. One curious note about jazz in general is that it's unusual to see women musicians (whatever the reason) and especially female saxophonists. Featured in the LCC .Ensemble were three front line saxists, all capable of taking extended solos that I thought were melodic and even sensual. Though sometimes lacking in shear power, they provided an interpretation less edgy- something I would like to hear more of. One sure-fire way to gauge an audience reaction is to scan the seated crowd during a number and watch the dancing heads keeping time. The Instrumental Jazz Ensemble received a steady nod of approval. ~EAfDi~CODENG) · WECIAL IN\JITATION TO LCC )fUD€NTS 0 \ TfiUR NIGHHMAU PITCHERS ,1. 7 PM-2 AM DISCO DANCE L€SSONL.B€GINNING TO AD\JANC€1l 'L.,.· * _J 1444 MIIIN .. .IN S'PRINGFl€LD* ~ED THRUJUN 10PM-213_ QJIM N~ C?\JE~....... ... .

The regional's were held on Nov. 10-11 at Ontario. Ore. The matches played on Friday, Nov. 11, determined how the four teams (Lane, Ricks College-Idaho, Clackamas Community College and host Treasure Valley) would be seeded for the Saturday, Nov. 12, playoff games. In the first set of games, Ricks College caught LCC sleeping and won easily 15-5 and 15-4. Clackamas C.C. also overpower- ed the Titans 15-12 and 15-6. LCC • managed to split its last set of games against Treasure Valley, winning the first 15-4 and dropping the second 15-8. ''The girls seemed dead on the court during the first two matches," said Volleyball Coach Georganne McKellarSmith. "We had a long team talk before our next match, and we played much better.'' • Friday's round robin play decided LCC would face top seeded Ricks College of Rexburg, Ida. The Titans came out fired up and won the first game 15-12 and led most of the way through the • second before losing it 11-15. A strong spiking flurry Kickers end year with 3-1 loss The LCC Soccer Team closed out its season with a 3-1 exhibition loss to Willamette University in a game played on Nov. 29. According to George Gyorgyfalvy, Lane's soccer coach, he decided to move his more experienced defensive players up to offensive positions in order to get a better scoring punch. Lane took advantage of the shift and Mike Galick scored at the 42-minute mark with a 35-yard kick that beat Willamette's goaltender cleanly. The half ended at 1-0. Willamette became aware of the Titan's weakened defense and scored three goals in the second half to clinch the win. "The muddy field proved too much for our players, and with some of them injured, they had difficulty moving the ball into scoring range,'' said Gyorgyfalvy. ''These factors nullified · the benefit we would have received from shifting our players around.'' . crushed the LCC squad and it dropped the last game 15-2. Lane was the only team to win a game against Ricks during the tournament. The third place position was decided when Lane defeated Treasure Valley 9-15, 15-9, 15-10. "Ricks had a very tall team and dominated around the net through out the regionals," said McKellar-Smith. "We were able to beat them [Ricks] because we changed our offense and hit them things they hadn't seen before." The Titans' Randi Kay Reynolds and • Jeanna Garcia were named to the seconoteam all tournament squard. Garcia also shared the "most valuable setter" award with a Ricks player.
