Moses: Yes, sir. We realize you
probably meant it was perfectly acceptable to shoot, stab or blow up male
strangers as long as someone in
authority told us to. And we are agreed
that anyone who kills women and
children is committing an atrocity ...
Voice: Well, that's something.
Moses: ... unless he does so from a
high-flying airplane, in which case
he's a hero. And we have also banned
killing people with poison gas except
in state-operated gas chambers where
we use it because it's the most humane
way to kill people.
Voice: [wryly]: That makes sense.
Moses: But now we're having
trouble with napalm . Military lawyers
and diplomats officially representing

art

hoppe

81 countries have been meeting in
Geneva for three weeks trying to
decide whether or not to ban killing
people with napalm on the grounds
that it is an "excessively harmful"
weapon.
Voice: What is napalm, Moses?
Moses: Oh, it's jellied gasoline, sir.
When the bomb containing it ex-

plodes, flaming globs of it are hurled
this way and that, sticking to whomever they hit and, as the case may be,
rapidly or slowly frying them to death.
Voice: And did these lawyers and
diplomats reach a decision?
Moses: Yes, sir. They decided to
adjourn, think the matter over - and
meet again next year.
Voice [with growing anger]: By me,
Moses, being burned alive strikes me
as being excessively harmful to one's
health!
Moses: Perhaps, sir. But, as the
lawyers said , banning napalm would
really open a can of worms. Next, it
would be all incendiaries, such as
phosphorus bombs and perhaps even
tracer bullets. And if those, why not all
bombs and all bullets? After all, being
torn apart by old-fashioned TNT isn't
particularly good for you.
Voice: I suppose not.
Moses: [shaking his head] ; Eventually, we would be reduced to killing
each other with stones and clubs like
uncivilized savages. What should we
do , sir?
Voice: You might try banning lawyers.
Moses: Please, sir, it 's going to take
a miracle to get us out of this one.
Voice: But you have already performed a miracle, Moses.
Moses: A miracle? What miracle,
sir?
Voice: It is a miracle, Moses, that

The ASLCC cal led a special meeting
on_Oct. 4, 1979. Our purpose in doing
so was to further discuss the food
services issue, and to decide our stand
on the boycott. We all felt we needed
more facts before we could impliment
the boycott ; so it was postponed unti l
more information was obtained .
The next day, Oct. 5, I went to an
uninvolved expert on cafeteria
management with the contract , price
increase list , and copies of invoices to
thoroughly study the facts. I was
assured that the deci sions Jay Jon es,
Bob Tegge , and Jack Carter made
were fa ir and j ust. My on ly question
lied in the ration al e for su ch exorbant
prices on the beverages. Jay assured
me that adjustments can be made in
beverage cost by adjusting other
product prices. My questions had been
answered and I felt that I understood
the issue clearly. However, I also knew
that the Senate, as well as many other
concerned students, still didn't have
adequate answers to their questions.
Because I didn't feel competen t
enough with the information to be able
to presen·t it to the Senate I asked Jay
and Bob to attend the Oct. 9 Senate
meeting and give a presentation to the
Senate and how they and Jack Carter
made the decisions they did.
I won't go into what was presented
now , I 've asked Jay to su bmit it in
wr iting to Th e TORCH. By the end of
the Senate meeting , the Senat e had
voted (4-0 , with 1 abstension) to recall
our support of the boycott; it was also
decided that the ASLCC would establish a committee that would further
research our food services. Those
serving are Jay Jones, Bob Tegge ,
Maggie French, Charles Ong, and Bob
Hoffman. If you have any questions ,
ideas, or feedback, please contact the
ASLCC office.
In closing, I want to say thank you to
Jay and Bob for their support of our
study, to Bob Hoffman for voicing his
concern for protection of staff and
students, and to al I those who have
given advice, input, and feedback.
Th is is an important issue, and this
committee will be working hard to
make certain you get the best deal.
Support them with your involvement.

ASLCC president

Praises TORCH
First of all, let me commend you for
a fine series of issues of The TORCH.
Through the years, TORCH editors
have established high standards which
must make it difficult for succeeding
editors to follow. You are meeting
those standards .
Secondly, and specifically , I would
like to commend you for the articles
with reference to the LCC capital
outlay budget . Your reporters waded
through notebooks of information and
talked to many people in order to
understand a rather complex process.
I need, however, to make one
correction to the article which appeared . The Board of Education does
not approve individual departmental
purchases, nor the plan that your
reporters examined for specific expenditures, department by department. Since your reporters generously
shared the article with me before
publication in order to assure that such
mistakes would not occur, I certainly
must share in the responsibility for
th is error. I'm sorry that I somehow
missed seeing this in the draft ·of the
article which I read.
Again, my thanks for the thorough
and cooperative job the TORCH
does in working on college news. I'm
looking forward to continuing our good
relationship with the college newspaper.

"There's an old saying," Dave Croft begins.
"'For every person there is a time and a place.' A
Chinese friend of mine once said that maybe this is
my time and place.'.'
History Instructor Croft remembers his 10 months
of living in the Republic of China (Taiwan) with a
quiet wistfulness. While his body seems comfortable
in his book-lined office in the Social Science
Department , obviously his mind must be drifting to
memories of living and studying among the Chinese.
Croft, his wife Priscilla, and their two children,
were in Taiwan from August 1978 to May 1979.
During that time, the United States "de-recqgnized" the Republic of China and severed all

Chicago because of a tam i ly emergency.
"On Dec. 16 (1978) I was here watching TV when
(President) Carter announced the de-recognition,"
he says. '' I called my wife in Taipei and I think she
was the first one in Taiwan to know for certain."
Within a few days U.S. newspapers reported
demonstrations at the American Embassy in Taiwan,
but Croft insists it was a reaction against the
American government -- not the American people.

p,ofile

And because of his relationship with the Chinese,
Croft was not afraid for his family. Their Taiwanese
fri~nds "started calling right away," he recalls.
"They were saying 'Don't worry, you are a
neighbor, you are a friend.'
"People (in Taiwan) cried -- they took it very
personally," Croft explains, "like a 'Dear John'
letter.''
But, he adds, "In some ways it may have been a
benefit to the country. Now Taiwan won't be so
dependent on the United States.''

Croft's own dependency on the American culture
and way of life have also been weakened. "I learned
that I could live with very few material things," he
says. "The important thing is people."
And the Chinese people, c!Ccording to Croft, can
be all the things stereotypes show tl:lem to be -stoic, stable, and formalized. But, he adds, "It's the
whole notion of 'insider' and 'outsider.' As an
insider you're treated very differently."
After almost a year on Taipei's Tung Hwa Street,
a totally Taiwanese neighborhood, the Crofts had
definitely become ''insiders.''
For his children, ages 8 and 9 when they arrived
on the island, the transition may have been the most
trying. Croft spoke Chinese, (although he says it was

Towi ng polic y work s to curb v!olatiOns
by Don Esperanza
for The TORCH

During Spring term of last year the
LCC Security Department added a
towing policy to the motor vehicle
regulations, to prevent constant violations of parking regulations. Since
this policy went into effect not one car
has been towed off the LCC campus.
Security Manager Paul Chase says,
"Overall, parking is improving to the

II

degree that most folks are parking
properly." Chase says his office will
start towing on an as need basis. If it is
unavoidable cars will be towed, but he
is admittedly not looking forward to
that.
Towing is necessary when cars block
fire lanes, and handicap spaces, he
explained. And in an emergency
situation, for example, when the fire
lane is blocked, applying a boot or
cementing the car into the fire lane

won't solve the problem.
"Anything that is going to be done
with the towing policy will be done
with reason,'' Chase adds.
Chase thinks traffic citations are
helping to solve parking problems for
now. There are enough spaces available in the northeast parking lot. But
people are still saying that there is no
place to park. What they really mean is
that there is no "convenient" place for
them to park, Chase says.

The penalty for parking has not been
harsh at $3 per ticket. But the towing
fee -- a minimum of $25 -- is a lot of
money, adds Chase, and '' I am not
looking forward to griping anybody
economically, but our rules are clear
here.'' But if the situation does arise
and time permits, the vehicle will be
towed.
When asked what his officers will do
if towing doesn't work, Chase replies,
''The towing will work.'' ,

"Lane has never had a large degree of participation," acknowledges Powell. "I think it was only

(CPS) -- "Decent Pay For Indecent Work!!!"
That's the slogan around the Boston
Museum of Fine Arts school after the
school's nude models picketed last
week in an attempt to raise modeling
fees at al I Boston-area art schools and
classes. The models are also demanding improvements in working conditions at the museum school.
Randy Jansen, spokesman for the
25-member Models Guild, says the
gui Id is asking for an increase in
hourly wages from $4 to $6, which
Jansen says is the national average.

The models have also charged that,
"The conditions at the museum school
are not up to the reputation the school
has built for itself. The school is
disgustingly filthy, cold, and models,
staff, and faculty are underpaid."
Carrying signs that read: "Feed the
Muscles, Feed the Curves" and "We
need Bread For Our Skin And Bones",
the models explained they chose to

picket the museum school because its
conditions were the worst in the
Boston metro area, and because of its
prestfge.
School officials have refusted to
comment directly on the issues.
Negotiators for the models, though,
say officials have said there's no room
in the budget for salary increasls.
However, the models assert the
Museum of Fine Arts, the school's
parent organization, has just had its
best attendence year ever, and that it
is adding a new wing.
Museum Director Jan Fontein replied that, ''This is one of the last
great museum schools, and one of1he
few schools to stress the fine arts
almost exclusively."
The models argued that, in view of
the school's position, they should get a
fee that compliments its reputation,
not one that degrades it.
Possibly in deference to the chilly
Massachusetts autumn, the models
are picketing fully clothed.

the "classroom' ' variety), but the children spoke
none at all.
''They had the typical American idea that
everybody could speak English," he says with a
smile. "It was a great shock for them to have no oral
communication.''
For Croft and his wife, only the initial learning
stage was painful. "Chinese soci-etv is very
ritualized," he explains, "but once you learn it, you
never feel uncomfortable. When you meet someone
there , you may spend five minutes exchanging
greetings, but you know to expect it.''
But "knowing what to expect" is not all that
common in the United States, he insists. "If I meet
an American man," he asks, "how do I shake
hands?" Traditional-style, hip-style or Roman arm
clasp?
He pauses, then laughs at a point well made.
Both Croft and his wife are instructors -- Croft in
LCC's Social Science Department, Priscilla in School
District 4-J -- so they viewed Taiwan both as a
cultural experience and as an educational one.
Croft decided to go to learn the Chinese language.
He had felt that he had reached a "plateau" while
studying in this country, and that only by immer_sing
himself in the language could he make more
progress.
It worked. "Before, I knew more (Chinese)
characters than I could speak," he says. "Now that's
reversed. There are lots of idioms that I can say, but
don't know how to write." For instance, in a
prac.tical matter, Croft adds, "In the classroom you
don't learn the word for cockroach."
But he quickly adds that he is still not fluent .
.' 'That would take a couple more years,'' he says

with regret. "And when you're not hearing it and
speaking it all the time, you lose it so fast."
• Although Croft feels the language slipping from
him, he works at protecting and maintaining the
other memories and impressions.
He speaks softly of the stability of the Taiwanese
family, the "wholesomeness" of life, the harmony,
the low crime rate. "The poorest section of Taipei
doesn't give you the impression of despair that you
see in a lower-middle class section of Chicago, '' he
says. "And it's safe there -- in a way we don't even
think of. My kids ran all over the streets in a way I
don't let the_m here.''
But Croft doesn't deny that the benefits have a
price. "It's still under Marshall Law (from World
War II) and the penalties for crimes are stiff," he
explains. "There are no First Amendment Rights -there's a presumption of guilt."
And, with 2.5 million people packed into a
geographic area not much different from Eugene,
Taipei faces serious ecological problems. '' Air
pollution," says Croft with resignation, "is very,
very bad.''
Yet, as he stretches back in his office chair and
glances at the books towering over him, Croft seems
willing to pay that price.
"I'm going through a kind of reverse culture
shock, '' he says. '' It was such a surprise for me, but
I find the life more congenial there."
Almost considering it out loud, he adds, I'm
• thinking of going back, maybe this summer, for the
language ... "
Perhaps Dave Croft has found a new place at a
right time.

From typewriters to tractors

Priorities for Administ rative Services unveiled
News analysis by
Charlotte Hall and Lucy White
of The TORCH

Inflation, mechanization and the cost of
replacing aging equipment are all catching
up with LCC through the college's capital
outlay budget.
"Twenty years ago you would have used
brooms and dust mops that would cost a
couple of dollars,'' says Tony Birch, former
dean of administrative services. "Now we
have floor cleaning machines that cost
$2,000 or $3,000. But - the Board of
Education, by allocating $400,000 in the
(capital outlay) budget this year, I think
recognizes this overall need for capital
improvement."
Capital outlay money allocated to Administrative Services for the current year is
$77,483. Of that amount, $19,768 remains
undistributed, according to Birch.
Birch briefly detailed the process he
goes through in distributing money to his
several departments.
"It's a process of collecting, over time,
requests for equipment purchases or
replacements from the individual budget
units," he said.
'' Last year we went through a process of
collecting and identifying equipment
needs, and that's the -material I start out
with. Then I ask the department heads to
update their requests from last year," he
explains. '' I have to make judgemental
decisions, item by item, department by
department, based on my knowledge of
what they're trying to do, what their needs
are, and what the history has been of prior
allocations." Birch says he assesses "what
would be needed to maximize their
situation."

There are six departments within
Administrative Services which include: Information Services, Financial
Services, Purchasing Services, Facilities Services, Plant Services, and
Personnel Services. Birch allocates a
specific amount to each department
depending on necessity.
The approved capital outlay allocation for each department within Student Services is listed below:
• The Information Services Department will receive an initial allocation of
$750 for record management sh_elves.
• The Financial Services Department will receive an initial allocation of

$14,400.

1) $2,400 for three typewriters
2) $12,000 for six terminals

• The Purchasing Services Department will receive an initial allocation of
$2,150.
1) $1,240 for two typewriters
2) $230 for two calculators
3) $57 for one chair
4) $70 for one stool
(The $533 remaining is expected to
be used for storage cabinets, verticle
files, and a desk.)
• The Facilities Services Department will receive an initial allocation of
$17,815.
1) $2,500 for telephone (to buy
switching equipment to change to
emergency power)
• 2) $10,000 for one sedan (motorpool)
and one truck (maintenance)
3) $850 for drapes
4) $800 for four to five emergency

wheelchairs
5) $400 for one typewriter
6) $1,425 for five pager radios
7) $60 for one portable sand blaster
8) $330 for one portable bandsaw
9) $550 for one transit level
10) $900 for one computer terminal
printer
• The Plant Services Department
will receive an initial allocation of
$22,100.
1) $2,000 for two tank vacuums and
two upright vacuums

2) $800 for one floor scrubber (18
inch brush)
3) $13,000 for one tractor (grounds)
4) $1,800 for one drill. press plus
accessories and one hydrolic floor jack ·
5) $4,500 for one laundry press (the
bid for this item is at $3,000).
• The Personnel Services Department will receive an initial allocation of
$500.
1) $150 for one secretarial desk
2) $100 for two secretarial chairs
3) $250 for three-shelf cabinet

Re-entry workshops ease transition

Workshops help women take 'charge·of life'
by Megan O'Neill
of The TORCH
' ' For a lot of us the rug has sort of
been pulled out.from under us because
we've followed the rules and the rules
changed," remarked Margie Holland_,
coordinator of the LCC Re-entry
Workshop program. '' And now we
don 't know where we fit."
Women, particularly, are faced with
the frightening dilemma of trying to
return to ~chool after a number of
years and simply do not know where to
begin , said Holland . The Re-entry
Workshops focus on how to get started

way to sort of put your toe in the water
and start meeting other people and
just looking at the world in a different

help women to open up, to share
information, to take a few risks and to
start taking charge of their life, said
Holland.

Four workshops are held each term
and 18 to 34 women participate each
time. The workshop is a credit class , so
the cost is $26. Some financial aid is
available for women who don't have
$26, said Holland, adding, "We've
found it's (providing financial assistance) really worthwhile . .. because
they need to learn how to get help to
go to school."

The workshop also provides a list of
sources for day care, but finding
adequate day care for children still
remains the major problem facing
young mothers returning to school ,
said the coordinator.

Punting yOur way through school
LOS ANGELES {CPS) -- When
researching how many college athletes
who graduated into professional sports
also get a degree, University of
Southern California Professor of Education Nat Hickerson came up with an
idea he's now proposing to make a
reality: A college academic program
that would give athletes a degreee in ,
well, athletics.
The program would teach varsity
athletes how to negotiate contracts,

cultivate health, cope with losing
streaks, and perform other skills
they' II need when and if they become
professionals.
The NCAA estimates that 70 percent
of all football players graduate within
five years o·f entering their colleges.
''What the athletic department isn ' t
tell i_ng us," Hickerson told the USC
Daily Trojan , ' ' is that the vast majority
of those who make up that (70 percent)
are second, third and fourth-string

linemen who are playing football for
fun, and have no intention of playing
professionally,"
USC basketball coach Stan Morrison , though, pointed out that since so
·few athletes become pros, most of
those in the sports program would
graduate, but would graduate with a
useless degree.
" Even if an athlete does cut it
professionally, " Morrison said , "what
have we done to help the rest of his
life? We can ' t treat (the university) as
a sports factory. "
Morrison 's react ion has been echoed by others around the university. On
reflection , Hickerson has decided that
" on a scale of one to ten, this probably
has about a minus-four chance of
becoming a reality."

Computers pay
(CPS) -- The demand for graduates
with degrees in computer science is
apparently growing. Fox-Morris Personnel Consultants of Philadelphia
have reported that June, 1979 computer science grads got average starting salaries of $15,400, an increase of
nearly 30 percent over the starting
salaries commanded by 1978 computer
science grads.
Fox-Morris says the dramatic increase can be traced to the development of the computer industry. •
Lower cost technology has helped
more businesses buy competers, and
widened business 's needs for people
to operate them.

Forget about finals with CBE
by Donna Mitchell
for The TORCH
"If a person wants college credit,
and feels it would be a waste of time to
take a class because s/ he's pretty
familiar with the material, thens/he'd
do it throu9h the testing procedure,''
explains Dan Hodges, head of LCC
Testing. The st-udent can get credit
for courses at half the price, and will
save a lot of class time, says Hodges.
Approximately 30 LCC students
each term are saving time and money
by earning credits through the Credit
by Examination program, which gives
students an opportunity to demonstrate mastery of material presented in
a particular course by passing a
specially prepared examination.
The cost is $6 per credit hour for any
person currently or previously enrolled
at LCC.
However, not al I classes can be
challenged, says Hodges. Each department decides which classes it will
make available for CBE credit. A
department-by-department list of
available classes can be viewed at the
Assessment and Testing Service Office
in room 227 of the Center Building.
Hodges recommends students interested in challenging a course to find
out in advance from the instructor
what the class syllabus covers and
what the text is, so the student can do
some preliminary studying. He considers CBE to be "particularly valuable for well-prepared people who learn
well by reading and who choose
courses where the instructor gears the
course to the textbook."
To begin the CBE process, Hodges
advises, students need to fill out an
application in the Assessment office.
At that time, a student will indicate
whether the examination is to be taken

completed. Should the student fail the
examination s/he has the option of
trying again the next term, but
a particular class may not be chal-

for a grade, Pass/ No-Pass. Credits
earned will be entered on the student's
transcript at the end of the term during
which the entire CBE process is

lenged more than three times. Hodges
notes that approximately 95 percent of
those taking the tests are successful 1n
their attempt.

The airport buzzes with tense anticipation as the
clock draws nearer to her estimated arrival time.
Then -- there she is -- Miss Ginger Rogers -- walking
down the red carpeted aisle in her glamorous fawn
flecked silver fox coat. She looks healthy, tanned
youthful. She has the same glamorous and sensual
pouty smile, the curvaceous and slim dancer's legs.
She is showered with welcoming embraces, a
rosebud bouquet and even a complimentary t-shirt
complete with gold gift box. Then as the photographers
press closer and curious plane travelers look on, Miss
Rogers' entourage of greeters and escorts whisk her
through the lobby and Qut to the stately, spotless si Iver
and black Rolls Royce waiting at curbside.
The flavor of the '30s is quite evident at the Eugene
Country Club, where _Miss Rogers and major ticket

feathers, top hots, tuxes and black bow ties are
·S prinkled throughout the crowd.
Highly polished and shining vintage automobiles in
black, burgundy, dark green, creme and various
two-tone combinations are lined up and ready to take

As the cars pull up to the main elegant lobby, guests
step out to find themselves in the center of attention.
After being introduced and given a warm welcome,
they make their way through the flashing staccato

Then the Rolls appears.
The moment everyone has been waiting for, her

It was truly an offer he could not refuse.

With bumper-to-bumper stairways

'Muddy slope option' gripes sliders
by Lucy White
of The TORCH

.

Sliding down the slopes to oet to
work has become an annoyingly frequent occurrence tor several of LCC's
staff.
Barbara McKillip, LCC library cataloging clerk, is one of the people who
have spoken out about the problem of
not being able to get to, or use, the
steps in the south parking lot, because
cars are often parked illegally in the
crosswalks.
And the problem is compounded by
the fact that many of the stairways no
longer have railings, which makes it all
the harder to keep one 's footing.
"!t 's trecherous and it's scary,
especially when· you're wearing platforms (shoes). I haven't hurt myself
when I ' ve fallen," McKillips explains,
"but I've gotten pretty muddy and I've
gotten really annoyed. And there are
other parking places available! All
they would have to do is go up one
more parking tier."
McKillip emphasizes that she
doesn't th ink that Campus Security is
to blame. But she does feel that more
effort is needed on the part of Security
to solve the problem, either by raising
the oarkina fines. diaaonallv rnstrining the no-parking spots, or just
''out-and-out barricading them.''
Del Matheson, head librarian, has
also found the blocked stairways a
source of frustration. He, too, has
fallen in the mud on his way down the
slopes.
He feels that something could be
done to correct the situation without
great expense. Matheson has come Lfp
with two possible solutions to the
problem.
One consists of putting in pre-made
cement bumpers, marked with reflective yellow paint, that would be
installed three feet or so in front of the
regular curb, so that compact cars
could park there if need be, while still
allowing room for people to walk
around them to get to the steps.
But Security Manager Paul Chase
doesn't want any cars, compact or
otherwise, to be parking in the crosswalks, as he wants them to be kept
clear for foot traffic. However, Chase
would be in favor of installing blockades as a final solution if citations
aren't effective in solving the problem.
But, he adds, "We would have to be
careful about what object we put in
there, so it wouldn't be a hazard to
pedestrians.''
Matheson 's second suggestion was
that the non-parking areas be ''diagonally striped out, so that it would
bP, obvious that no car should park

there. A year ago I was told by Mark
Rocchio (who was then the Director of
Campus ·Support Services, he is no
longer at LCC,) that they would paint
out the crosswalks with diagonal
stripes but they didn't; they only
repainted the existing stripes. They
had told me it would be too expensive.''

Chase, on the other hand, feels that
the present markings are adequate,
and adds, "It isn't a matter of
expense, but of effectiveness."
Chase indicated that at the beginning of the school year, the parking
lots were "packed solid" and they
issued several citations, but reports
they have been finding greater com-

pliance as the year progresses. He
mentions that on a tour of the parking
lot last Thursday, he found only four
out of approximately 20 spaces blocked.
He agrees that the "muddy bank
option" is not a good one, and adds,
"I'm glad to hear of Del's concern,
and it is my concern also."

Department change provokes opposition

the complicated task. The trick in the
meantime will be to keep current
higher education programs -- from
financial aid to anti-discrimination
efforts -- going during the transition.
''We hope there won't be any effects
on existing programs,'' says Nancy
Lamont of the Office of Management
and Budget, the agency responsible
for coordinating the transition from the
Office of Education (which was part of
the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare) into the Department of Education.
''The core of the new department is
already in place, and we are absolutely
committed to keeping everything
functioning. The central purpose of the
whole (department) legislation was to
improve management, so we will be

very diligent about all existing programs.''
Others aren't so cont ident. When
the Department of Energy was organized in 1977, critics -- especially in the
oil industry -- called the transition a
bureaucratic nightmare. Lamont says
the 0MB which also coordinated that
transition, learned valuable lessons
from the experience.
Some of the tasks ahead, however,
are mind-boggling. A transition task
force encharged with solving personnel problems, for instance, must write
7000 job descriptions in the next
several months before the department
can be staffed.
There are five other task forces -committees that coordinate the movement of programs from old agencies to
the new department, make program
evaluations, concoct budgets, collect
equipment, as well as hire staff -within 0MB that are working on the
transition.
There are about six people on each
committee, but the transition team -perhaps ominously -- still awaits the
appointment of a director· of implementation to direct it.
Once all that is done, U.S. Office of
Education Executive Deputy Commissioner James Pickman says it will take
''a fairly short time'' to make the
Office of Education into a department.

Umpqua student wins _suit against college

by Howard Berkes
for The TORCH
A former Umpqua Community College student has successfully sued the
college because a welding program
was misrepresented by college , rep-

resentatives and in the college catalog.
Peter Dizick was awarded $12,500 in
a September 11th Oregon Supreme
Court ruling. Dizick claimed that the
training and access to equipment
promised as part of the program was
not provided.

Larry Romine, LCC college/com-,
munity relations director said that LCC
staff and faculty have been made
aware of the decision. ''We know
we've got to watch our step, and be
accurate, be complete, be factual, be
honest. And we will be," Romine said.

Truth in testing may come to SATs
(CPS) -- It's going to be harder to
take college entrance exams in New
York soon, and if Congress approves a
couple of bills it will consider in
committee this week, it might be
harder to take those tests everywhere
else in the country, too.
. They are "truth-in-testing" bills,
which require that the companies that
create and administer standardized
tests file test questions and answers
with state education commissions.
New York passed the first truth-intesting law last summer, despite .dire
predictions from the College Entrance
Examination Board (popularly known
as CEEB or as the College Board),
which administers most of the tests.
The agency warned it would have to
re-write every test if the answers were
available to the public, and that cost
would rise accordingly.
Bob Cameron of the College Board
says that·each test used to cost $83,000
to develop and administer. New York's
law has pushed the cost to $97,000, he
says.
Consequently the College Board
announced on Oct. 9 that it was
offering the Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT) in New York only four times this
year, instead of the usual eight. The
test fees charged to the 350,000 New
Yorkers who annually sit for the exam

will also rise an undisclosed amount
from the current $8.50.
Cameron adds the College Board
will also stop offering special test
sessions to students who can't make it
to the regular sessions. He emphasizes
the cutbacks are all caused by the
added costs of the New York law.
There are even more drastic visions
of the bills' effects. Richard Berendzen, president-elect of American University, worries that nationwide truth•
in-testing legislation could mean the
end of standardized testing altogether.
''The testing companies' claims are
totally false," counters Joel Packer,
1
lobbyist for the ·un.ited States Student
Association. "The bills will mean a
better understanding of the test for
students. It will not abolish the tests."
"Students are captive consumers in
the standardized testing business,''
explains Ed Hanley, an aide in Ralph
Nader's office who is working on a
long-awaited Nader study of the
industry.
"Since these tests play such an
important part in peoples' lives, they
need to be open.''
The openness is what testing firms
oppose. Cameron foresees that ''the
schools are likely to obtain copies for
drilling students on test answers. With

these new bills, the test form cannot
be re-used.''
"These com pl icat ions are not
imagined, not thrown up in opposition," Cameron swears. "The disclosure law will preclude test availability from an economic standpoint."
Hanley disputes Cameron's economic argument, claiming that "we
have obtained internal documents that
indicate that students. are already
paying more than the cost of the test.''
The College Board and its sister
Educational Testing Service are nonprofit entities.
College Board Chairman Fred
Hargadon sees the movement for open
test records as misplaced. SAT scores,
he says, ''don't effect students anywhere near as much as the courses
that they take, and the grades they
receive'' before applying to college.
Hargadon, who is also Stanford's dean
of admissions, adds, '' If one want to
have some kind of 'sunshine' bill or
'truth-in-testing', a damn good place
to start would be all that grading and .
all those tests in secondary school that
are the most important element in the
long run in most admissions decisions.''

Romine also said that LCC counselo·rs specialize in assisting students
in specific departments and are not
likely to misrepresent a program.
The 1979-80 LCC catalog states, '' ..
the provisions in this catalog are not to
be regarded as an irrevocable contract
between the student and the college ... " Romine has said that the
Dean of Students is taking another
look at this disclaimer. "It may be
altered slightly, but it's basically going
to say the same thing,"· Romine
predicted.
Dizick entered Umpqua in the
spring of 1974 after reading a catalog
description of the Welding Technology
Program. In court testimony, Dizick
said that training and equipment
mentioned in the catalog and promised
by college representatives was not
available. Dizick remained at the
college for three terms after receiving
assurance that the equipment and
training would become available. According to Dizick, neither did, and he
filed suit in 1975.
The Oregon Supreme Court's decision last month affirmed the original
trial court's verdict in favor of Dizick;
after the original verdict was set aside
by an appeals court.
In his suit, Dizick said th"\t Umpqua
acted fraudulently in encoJraging him
to remain at the college. He asked for
$25,000 in lost wages and attorney's
fees.
At the University of Oregon, Vice
President for Public Services Curtis
Simic, said that it has been the
University's policy to give students
what it says it will. Simic also said that
the University has no plans to change
its policies as a result of the Dizick.
decision.

Cohabiting ? Re11t address I
(CPS) -- Statistics show that
increasing numbers of male and
female college students are living
together. There are no comparable
surveys of how many parents of those
cohabiting students know about the
practice. Now, sure enough, there's a
business that tries to help students
keep parents ignorant of their sexual
habits a little longer.
•
Pamela Douglas, a University of
Texas student, opened a business
called Basis Strategy four months ago.
For a fee, Austin women can use
Douglas' address as their own. Douglas, in turn, forwards mail to the
daughters' correct addresses. Parents'
telephone calls are recorded on a

phone answering device, and Douglas
lets her clients know when to call their
parents back.
'' I know there were times when I'd
maybe spend five out of seven nights
somewhere other then home,'' Douglas recalls. "I always thought it would
be nice if there were a service like this
available. It's better than renting half
an apartment to the tune of $150, and
not even living there."

An extra with extra endurance
Contributed by
Cheryl A. Smith
There've been a lot of lights,
cameras, and action in the lives of
hundreds of Eugeneans these past few

pecially for the first time, surpass
anything else in Eugene and is
something every person with a sense
of adventure should try. I did, and
Wow! Look out Jane Curtin, Susan
Saint James, and Jessica Lange, Here
I come.

The number of takes fluctuates
between six and eight. Of course it's
not the extras' fault, usually. What
else? Technical difficulties.

smiling, of course.
By now I've most likely been
five of six hours straight, but persist
and forget about being tired as I
realize there are at least 100 people
who would jump at the snap of a finger
to do what I'm doing.

But the excitement of being involved

weeks and a lot more has yet to come.
With the Valley River shopping
center as the main setting for the .
movie, How to Beat the High Cost of
Living, shoppers -- or better yet just
walkers and lookers -- are known not
as people but as "Extra's." Personally, I felt more like a slice of cheese on
a quarter-pounder than a person.
Propped on a side bench, looking
absolutely exhausted, (you know how
it feels after a hard day of shopping) I
hear, "Extra's, Extra's!" Moments
later came, "All seven o'clock extras
please move to the south end of the
building; all others stand by quietly.
Thank you."
Not for long. Within seconds I see a
finger point my direction and hear a
stern, loud voice pronounce, "You!"
Gasping for air and in a sudden but
concise state of shock I mutter to
myself, "Oh God, me ... he picked me!
But my hair -- it looks as if it's been
through every possible kind of disaster, with at least three bear cubs and
their mother hibernating beneath the
tangled tresses!''
I then begin to run a check-list
through my mind, while at the same
time try to stay in touch with reality
and what is about to take place. "Let's
see. Lips and shoes both shining?
Check. Clothes straight, no visible
panty lines? Check, check. And most
important is my mouth wet enough so
my lips don't stick to my teeth? Check!
Good, everything's ready and so am I.
Wait, my sack, where's my shopping
bag!"
The next thing I know, I'm placed in
a corner and asked to walk, and walk,
and walk then, "Cut! Back to number
one positions." (That means the same
old place. Why they don't just say
that, I don't know.) We begin again,
''Take two. Background motion,''
(that's me) "and action! Cut!"
So wearily I drag my aching body
back to my number one position

Titans run away with second
by Sarah Jenkins
of The TORCH

Com peting in a f ield of 15 teams, the
Ti t an men's cross country squad found
itself in second place in the Mt. Hood
In vit ational last Saturday. In one of the
largest meets of the year, LCC placed
five runners in the top 20, but finished
outside the winner's circle where
Bellview Commun.ity College of
Washington enjoyed the honors.
Jeff Hildebrandt set the pace for the
Titan men, taking fourth place in the
10,000 meter event only 13 seconds
behind the winner, Garry Kilgore of
Linn-Benton Community College.
Hildebrandt's time of 25:12.4 was
over 42 seconds slower than he ran last
week at LBCC.

Co-ed volleyball is a growing
competitive sport in the United States.
The Springfield area is no exception.
In fact, there just aren't enough
Springfield gyms available to provide
needed practice and playing time.
''School gyms are being used for
school activities. We are still looking
though,'' says Rand Gerlach, of the
Willamalane Park and Recreation
District.

But the Titans will come to the
starting line Saturday with extra
ammunition. Nadine Lindsay, Lane's
top distance runner last year, will
make her first start of the season.
According to Manley, "Her presense
will considerably strengthen the LCC
team as regional and national meets
approach.''

Gerlach said the district has organized the Jack 'N Jill Volleyball League
for adult women and men, with 10
teams in the league. Each team is
sponsored by • a local Springfield
business.
Games are played at the Memorial
Building on North A Street in Springfield, although other facilities are
being sought.
Auto Body Specialties, the team
currently in the top position, has won
nine games and lost none; the Spinners are in a close second place,
having eight wins and one loss . The
Mad Mashers and the Studs &
Starletts are in a tie for the third
position. In fourth are the Quickies.
Tied for fifth are the Emerald Vans
and the Forfeits. The Mixed Nuts and
the Springers are tied for sixth.

The TORCH

Oct. 25 - ... , 1979

Wine and ale are not for sale
by Nick Berry
for The TORCH

During the Sept. 19 Board of
Education meeting, board member Les
Hendrickson, responding to student
requests, suggested serving beer and
wine on campus. But at its Oct. 17
meeting, the idea did not receive.
official attention.
Although Hendrickson is a nondrinker and stated '' I feel that society
spends too much money on alcohol
already," he said, "I just want to
provide a service readily available to
students elsewhere.''
The drinks were proposed to be
served in the Renaissance Room (the
twice-a-week restaurant), during
lunch, as part of the Food service
operation.
The Renaissance Room, according
to Bob Tegge, Foodservice manager,
was suggested over the cafeteria
because it is smaller and therefore
would make checking identification
much easier.
At the present, the Renaissance
room is being used on Tuesdays and
Thursdays as a restaurant for a
Foodservice training program, with
anticipation of expanding to four days
a week by next year.
The Home Economics Department
felt that "Serving beer and wine would
not add to the instructional value of it's

program," Dean of Students Jack
Carter reported to the board, and
doesn't plan on adding either beverage to the menu.
As a result, the small restaurant
would only be available once a week -most likely Fridays -- to serve beer and
wine, said Carter. "I don't think it's
feasible to serve beer and wine under
such conditions.''
Carter felt that the cost of setting up
and maintaining such a limited operation would be more than it's worth. "I
don't th ink it (a restaurant serving
alcoholic beverages) can pay for itself,
being served only one day a week,"
said Carter, "but the difficulty is in
finding and keeping part-time staff
necessary to run such an operation,"
meaning a licensed waiter or, waitress
to serve beer and wine, and a cook, for
a what may be a once a week
operation.
Carter said there are no special state
or federal regulations governing the
sale of such beverages when sold only
with the purchase of lunch.
But other reasons for his recommendation against sale of beer and
wine are: the higher cost· of running a
restaurant on a limited, basis, the
potential problems when two operaations (Instruction and Foodservice)
must share a facility, and the possibility that the Foodservice Program will
be expanding.

Alternative for high school drop-outs
someone tell you it's a good car. That's
kind of our philosophy -- in that people
will learn that it is feasible by proving
it to themselves.''
Students' reasons for enrolling in
the High School Completion Program
are as varied as there are types of
people. Many expressed a desire to
finish up their high school requirements after having "messed up" the
last time around. One young woman
said her main reason for attending
LCC was to "finish high school so I can
learn some useable job skills in getting
better work.'' Another student said he
up so I can go on
wanted to "finish
to bigger and • better things." His
friend added, "I dropped out of high
school thinking I could do whatever I

by Jackie Cox
for The TORCH

'' If someone is out of school and
they're over 16, the best suggestion I
have is to give some thought to coming
out here if they're ready to try
finishing .... The message is: There is
a second chance, there really is
another way, and that's the unique
thing about this program," says Dick
Earl, the High School Completion
program coordinator, himself a high
school drop-out.
And enrollment is up this year in the
High School Completion Program. It
has increased consistently over past
years, says Earl, averaging 1,140
students this fall term as compared to
1,100 this time last year.

The best therapy for previous fai 1ure, says Earl, is getting in a program
and tasting success -- just once. ''Our
specialty is not counselling in terms of
talking to people, our specialty is
somehow selling them on the idea of
getting in the program and trying it so
they can find out they can make it. It's
like saying you know a Buick is a good
car by driving it, not by having

Ali three students said they were
looking forward to graduating and
enjoy both the classes and teachers.
Earl says there are a lot of people
who start classes but who leave. Still,
they can't "leave" the program, he
says, because the HSC Department
considers these students as "inactive"
-- until they complete their courses.
Some inactive files are kept as far back
·as-1960 .
Out of the students who registered
this term, appro,?imately 20 to 25
percent witl not complete all of their
classes. There are 41 six-week classes

offered, and Earl feels a part of that
percentage is reflected in ''comparison
shopping." He said a student might
register for three classes, only intending to stay with two, but is seeing "if
this teacher is· as neat as that one."
Some will be "inactive", s0me will
make it through.
''The graduations here are an
emotional thing -- like you've never
experienced -- because it's more than
just kids finishing school. It's kids who
might have blown it once, had really
gave through this (emotional) thing at
home and here they are -- ready to
graduate. It can be a healing process
in family relationships," he said.

................................................................................................

Both in-school and out-of-school
youths (ages 16-17) are admitted to
LCC's High School Completion Program, but only after they have been
referred to LCC by an authorized
school district representative. The
release/ referral of a student under 18
years of age is based on decisions of
local school officials made in accordance with the policy and practices of
the local district and. Oregon Revised
Statutes.
Earl doesn't say it overtly, but
implies one of the reasons for HSC
success anywhere is the appeal of the
instructors. '' It's a very special kind of
teacher who can take something most
of the students have had before and
m€J,ke learning it interesting. Another
special part of it is that you can come
out here from wherever you came from
and start fresh -- from scratch.''

wanted. But now I see you also need
an education to get somewhere.''
