A killing we don't care .a bout
We, the people, killed Jesse Bishop last week. The
tragedy was that I didn't much care.
I had known vaguely that he had been condemned to
death, but I had forgotten his name. I hadn't followed his
story closelv. (Somethina to do with shootino a bystander in
a Las Vegas casino holdup.) And when I saw the article at
the bottom of page one -- "Killer Executed in Nevada" -- I
was surprised that we had killed him so soon. Surprised,
but not particularly concerned.
As I read the descriotion of his execution -- how he
breathed deeply of the cyanide gas, how his head jerked,
how his eyeballs rolled -- I was suddenly appalled by my
lack of concern. For all the horror of that familiar scene
came back to me.

Twenty and more years ago when the world and I were
young , I used to cover all the execut ions at San Quentin . It
was an assig nment I loathed beyond all others .
Most of the victims were poor, ignorant slobs whose
, deaths rated no more than a few paragraphs on page ten.
What I hated was t he effi cient manner in wh ich we, t he
peo pl e, kil led t hem in col d bl ood.
T wo guards would lead the shaken-looking man into the
chamber, strap him down, pat him on the shoulder and
advise him to breathe deeply . The door would clang shut,
the cyanide pellets would drop and we, the witnesses,
would peer through the glass windows like visitors to an
aquarium to observe every detail as this, our fellow man,
underwent the very private act of dying .
As the years passed, I wrote columns at every
opportunity attacking what I considered an obscene,
inhuman and senseless custom.
A deterrent? ''Why do we kill people to show people that
killing people is bad? " I must have written that phrase a
half dozen times.
A social benef it? I have long subscribed to the theory that
over the past few million years mankind has slowly -- ever
so slowly -- gro wn more knowledgeable, more ration al,
more moral, more civilized and more hu man.

After reading " Alternative for high
school drop-outs'' (Oct. 25, by Jackie
Coy) I commented to Gloria Wells (our
ABE records clerk) that Ms. Coy had
done an excellent job -- really captured
the feeling associated with the program and clearly placed credit for the
program's success with the instructors
and the students (where it belongs!)
and otherwise demonstrated her sen• sitivity to the program's purpose and
accomplishments.
I commented, too, that the TORCH
has historically pub I ished excellent
and highly accurate articles about the
program and the people who participate in it as students and staff ...
Before I finished, Gloria suggested
that I tell you, too. Now you know that
i appreciate your contributions. (And
I'm sure you also know why I
appreciate Gloria).

ABEIHSC coordinator

But now we are poised on the razor's edge of nuclear
annihilation. We desperately need a new moral breakthrough. I believe none of us will be safe until each man
views the killing of another man with the same abhorrence
as he now views the eating of another man. That we, the
people, should have eaten Jesse Bishop is, of course
unthinkable. Yet we, the people, killed him. And I scarcely
cared.

I would like to commend Sue
Nieminen of the Personnel Office and
the people who were involved in the
New Staff Seminar on October 16,
1979. Many long hours and hard work
produced an informative and creative
Orientation to the LCC Campus for
new employees. The Human Awareness Council has been proud to
co-sponsor with the Personnel Department the New Staff Seminar.
Many new staff now have a greater
understanding and knowledge of the
LCC community due to the excellent
seminar coordinated by Sue.
Thank you again to all the people
involved in the planning and presentation of the Seminar.

What happened to me in those 20 years? Age, I suppose,
tends to dim the flames of youth. Then there were the
assassinations, Vietnam, Watergate, pornography, punk
rock and permissiveness -- the oaor or aIs11Iusionment,
decay and decadence. And now, economic uncertainty and
every man for himself.
I realized that I, like so many others, have been
qradually, unknowinqly, withdrawinq into myself, pulling
my wounded parts into my shell. What a shameful way to
live. What a dangerous threat to the future of our species.
What a tragedy.
So while I didn't much care that we, the people, had
killed Jesse Bishop, I care very much that I, like so many
others, didn't much care.

The TORCH

Is strike next step?

Nov. 1;_ 1979

Fact-finder's report reiected
by Sarah Jenkins
of The TORCH

For the first time in eight months,
the classified union and the board
agreed on something. On Oct. 30, both
groups resoundingly rejected a factfinder's report which could have ended
the long negotiation process.
During a special Tuesday luncheon
meeting, the Board of Education
unanmiously rejected the 11-point
report, after meeting in ''executive
(closed to the public) sessjon" to
discuss the document. Hours later, the
LCC Education Federation (LCCEF)
membership voted against the report,
by a 129 to 5 margin, and unanimously
supported a Nov. 20 vote to decide if a
strike is favored if the contract is not

signed by that date.
"The overriding thing would purely
be dollars,'' says Evelyn Tennis,
LCCEF vice-president, explaining the
union's overwhelming rejection.
Negotiations between the college
administration, represented by professional negotiator Lonnie Mills, and
the LCCEF bargaining team began last
March. Since then, the college has
negotiated and signed new contracts
with President Eldon Schafer, with the
94-member management bargaining
unit and with the faculty union
(LCCEA).
But when continued negotiation
between Mills and the classified
union's bargaining team broke down,
on Sept. 27 both sides asked for a
fact-finder's hearing.

Both the college and the union
present their arguments to a third
party, "Fact-finder" Gary Axon, an
Ashland attorney. It was Axon's final
recommendation that both sides rejected Tuesday.
Some of the major points of his
report are:
• Increased medical insurance paid
by the college.
The report recommends that the
college pay the insurance premiums
for medical, vision and dental coverages , total I ing about $71. 75 per employee per month. The college currently contributes about $40 per
employee per month.
• The report recommends that the
college pay the cur;-ent employee
contribution to the Public Employee

Retirement System (PERS) effective
the first of the month ''following
ratification by the union membership."
The union had asked that the PERS
be retroactive to July 1, 1979.
• The report recommends that a $40
per month pay increase be given to all
307 employees within the bargaining
unit. It also recommended that this
increase be retroactive to July 1, 1979 .
The union had proposed an increase
of $50 per month, while, according to
the report, "The college .. . reaffirmed
its position that its main concern was
the total cost of the salary package.''
The college and the union disagreed
on the exact percentage increase, and
the report does not specify a ''total
cost.''
Continued on page 5.

"Check it out with a mechanic first," suggests
skeptical car buyer John Sgro. "It has over 100,000
miles on it, but it's not even 10 years old.
"It really has a lousy paint job. You can even see
where the paint is overlapping. And look at that
window -- it has two holes in it. And the carburator is
set way too high ... "

•••

"Just got it back from the shop and it's perfect,"
assures Sgro, easily switching into the role of a car
salesperson. "It's 10 years old and the engine was
just re-built -- a real cream puff ..
Now that ' s the original paint. The window? For $2
worth of liquid glass, we can fix it so you won't even
see it.
"And it even starts right up on a cold morning."

•••

John Sgro believes that the stereotyped image of
the fast talking, slightly dishonest car salesperson
with white shoes and plaid jacket is indeed a reality.
So for the past year and a half he has been operating
the Certified Automotive Refferal Service, appropriately known as CARS. He acts as the middle man
between the car salesperson and the customer. In
essence, Sgro says he absorbs the harrassment from
the salespeople, dickers down the price of a car,
arranges appointments, makes sure everything is in
writing, and lifts the tiresome burden of finding a
car.

'Up against the wall,

Mr. Cardealer, sir!'
Sgro, an LCC Mass Communications student, was
a car salesperson for five years , mostly in the
Eugene area , and claims he knows the ''tricks of the
trade " that let him "get back at them" (salespeople)
on their own terms .
''They just insult the hell out of the customer and
the customer doesn 't even know it , " he says angrily .
" So I always find it's better to go and insult the
salesman and make him feel foolish in front of other
salesmen. "

But he is quick to point out that some honest
dealerships do still exist. But , he adds with a smile ,
they are not a majority . ' ' You have to put (dealers)
up against the wall. You have to be the agressor, "
he declares. '' They' II answer you honestly to specific
questions and some questions they won ' t answer
honestly -- they I ie."
Most salespeople are paid on a commission basis,
he says, and they don 't get any base salary or
minimum wage. So, he explains hypothetically , "If
there are two days left before payday and you get a
possibility to sell a car and make a couple hundred
bucks, you' re going to try your hardest no matter
what you have to say."

Fin anc ial Aid 'ou t-m ane uve rs' CBE
by Donna Mitchell
for The TORCH

Credit by Examination (CSE) may
give students on financial aid "a
sneaky way to maneuver within the
an LCC staff
system,'' suggests
member.
But Financial Aid officials say it
might also be a way that students
could lose their financial aid money.
An article in last week's TORCH
touched off the debate about the CSE
"option" and the way students use it.
Apparently, some students receiving financial aid have used the CSE
program when trouble with one of
their enrolled classes and subsequent
class drops threatened to reduce their
total credits below the 12 credit hours
required by financial aid regulations.

Earning credits through CSE is not
an option for those students, according
to Frances Howard, head of the
Financial Aid Office. '' Federal regulations say a student must be enrolled in
school. Now I think it's neat we have
CBE. I think it would be neat if
students could get a lot of credits that
way and accelerate their schooling.
But it's not our intent to give them
financial aid to take CBE. We don't
feel we'd be complying with regulations.''
Howard agrees with the statement
made by a counselor that a credit is a
credit, and a person should get credit
if entitled to it. However, she says,
"When you bring in Financial Aid,
that introduces another dimension.
Federal regulations say a student must
be enrolled in school," she adds,

making it clear that she does not
consider challenging a course for
credit the same as enrolling in and
studying for that course.
Approximately 3,000 LCC students
-- about half the student body -- are
receiving financial aid and any of these
students falling below the 12 credit
requirement does have options, emphasizes Howard. A one-term probationary period is automatically
granted, providing the student has at
least nine hours of acceptable credits.
If the student has fallen below the
nine-hour requirement, s/he may
petition to retain his or her aid, stating
the special circumstances that led to
difficulties. If a student is working
with a counselor, a note from the
counselor reauesting that the student
continue to receive aid will be accepted

Encore Oval ·claims 'vague'

Contr acept ive 'effec tivene ss' clarif ied

by Heidi Swil/inger
for The TORCH

Claims by the manufacturers of
Encare Oval, a contraceptive device,
that it's a ''highly effective'' birth
control product are "appropriately
vague,'' claims one local authority.
Ads in recent editions of both the
TORCH and the Oregon Daily Emerald, do not specify exactly what
"hiohly effective" means, says Patti
Van Metre, a member of the education
staff at Planned Parenthood in
Eugene.
Van Metre explains that Encare
Oval is a vaginal suppository that
contains a spermicide (Nonoxynol-9)
and a foaming agent. Once inserted,
the Encare Oval dissolves and acts as a
barrier, preventing sperm from entering the cervical opening.

Nonoxynol-9 is used in most other
spermicidal foams and jellies on the
market, says Van Metre. According to
Shermaine Swearingen, LCC Nurse
Practitioner, such products, when
used alone, have an effectiveness
rating of approximately 78 percent. In
other words, statisically 22 out of 100
women could become pregnant using
Nonoxynol-9 products alone, as opposed to a two-tenths of a percent
pregnancy risk for women using the
birth control pill and three to five
percent risk for women using a
diaphragm or an IUD.
In reference to the Encare Oval,
Swearingen explains, ''They're for the
woman who's not very sexually active
and needs something on the spur of
the moment. Used with condoms,
they're just as effective as (birth
control) methods (the pill, diaphragm,

IUD) that are harder to get. .. and I
don't think you should put someone on
the pill who's just using a contraceptive once a month ... I think everyone
has different contraceptive needs
throughout their lives.''

Some advantages in using Encare
Oval are that it's easy and convenient
to use and to carry. "It doesn't utilize
hormones and it's not systemic like
the pill," says Van Metre. It will also
slightly reduce the risk of contracting
VD because it makes the Ph-balance in
the vaginal secretions more acid, she
explains.
Some users complain of a burning or
irritated sensation with the Encar-e
Oval but this is merely a typical
allergic reaction and can be remedied
by simply discontinuing use, Van
Metre says.

An educational mushroom conference will be help at the Oregon coast
Nov. 2, 3, and 4. Registration for the
conference was open to the pub I ic, but
according to Freeman Rowe, mushroom display coordinator for the
conference and science instructor at
LCC, the event is full.
"For the number of people already
signed up, we aren't sure how we can
accomodate them all," Rowe explained.
One reason for the conference's
overwhelming popularity is the variety
of distinguished guests to speak there.
The conference is being held to honor
Dr. Gaston Guzman of Mexico City
and his newly completed monograph
(information on every known species of
mushroom compiled in one book). Also
among the guests is Gary P. Menser,
an expert on poisonous and hallucinogenic mush rooms and a former
student of Rowe.
The conference is being sponsored
by Mycomedia, a non-profit corporation.

by the Financial Aid Office.
"There is a lot of flexibility within
the system," states Howard. "The
rule is 12 credits with C or better -then we deal with all the exceptions."
Gene Sorenson, LCC Counselor,
strongly suggests that any student on
financial aid who is experiencing
academic difficulties see a counselor.
He believes a student having problems
at mid-term should view it as "a time
to retreat, to lose a battle so you can
win the w_ar. It's a time to explore
tions."
One of the options cited by Sorenson
is to study the class schedule to find
"open entry, open • exit" classes,
classes which begin at mid-term, or·
special three or six week "minicourses." Open entry, ,open exit
classes may be started at any point in
the term; credits earned vary according to the amount of work completed
by the student. Mid-term entry
courses or special mini-courses are
also available in many departments,
particularly the Business and Mathematics Departments.
Another option is to arrange with an
instructor for an independent study
program, or a program which will earn
SFE credits.
Sorenson sees a real need for more
mid-term entry courses, giving students more meaningful choices. For
example, he said, "Why pick up
typing in mid-term just for the credit if
there is no applicability to the student's academic needs?"

Center expand s
by Thelma Foster
for The TORCH ...
When Phase 1 remodeling --is completed at the LCC Downtown Center,
there could be as many as 600 students
in the building at one time.
The remodeling will give the old
Montgomery Ward building a new
$1 ..2 million look.
"I can remember back in the '60s, I
was in a study group to determine 1t a
community college was necessary in
this community. Today, we are still
expanding," reflects Lyle Swetland,
the current administrator of the second
LCC campus.
The Downtown Center, acquired in
1977, is another step in LCC's endeavor to make education more accessible to the community, Swetland says.
Phase 1 of this construction, begun in
June, 1979, he adds, should be
completed by the beginning of winter
term and give better facilities to the
Eugene Mall. Classes have not been
stopped by the construction, Swetland
says as the work continuing in the
building, locate'd at 1959 Willamette
St. "As part of the remodeling, three
large .classrooms 'with dividers allow
more small classrooms in the same
amount of space," he adds. Two other
rooms will have sinks so that classes,
such as science labs, can make use of
them.
The Downtown Center, Swetland
points out, offers many services and
learning opportunities to merchants,
shoppers and commuters. In the
immediate vicinity are several senior
housing units, presenting an opportunity for senior citizens to take
advantage of classes they might not
otherwise take.

The Lauback Society, a non-profit
organization that works against illiteracy, has an off ice on the main floor of
the Downtown Center.' 'We work together,'' Swetland says.
Many classes, credit and non-credit,
are available at the Downtown Center:
Business classes, mathmatics, English
as a second language, foreign languages, and dozens of classes on arts
and crafts are listed in the Fall Term
Class Schedule.

If you have been baffled by all the talk about nuclear
power, and would like to catch up on some of the latest
information, then the activities coming up on Nov. 6, 7 and
8 should be of interest to you.
"Concern for Nuclear Power Week'-' will feature movies
concerning nuclear power, speakers, debates, and more.
Funding for the events comes from the Student Resource
Centers (SAC) cultural budget and ASLCC.
According to Pepi Stolt, director of the SAC, the total cost
for all the activities will be $1,700, with $1,400 of that going
for the speaker's fee.
The featured speaker will be Greg Minor, an ex-nuclear
engineer with General Electric and the technical advisor for
the movie "China Syndrome." He will be answering
questions on his own involvement with nuclear power in
Forum 308 from 3 to 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 8.
A nuclear power information table will be provided in the
cafeteria all three days, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will
also be a lecture at the U or O's Erb Memorial Union, room
101, at 8 p.m. on Nov. 8.

'Grow ing pains ' in progr am
include curric ulum revam ps
by Sally Harris
for The TORCH

As a result of an extensive research
evaluation, the LCC Respiratory Therapy is undergoing a major curriculum
revision, says Dave Just, the newly
appointed program coordinator.
Respiratory Therapy deals with the
treatment, management control and
care of patients with deficiencies and
abnormalities associated with respiration. LCC offers the only two-year
Associated of Science Degree program
in the state, although Mt. Hood
Community College offers a one-year
certification program.
Due to restricted clinical facilities at
Lane, the program is limited to 18'
students. The admissions process
includes the STEP (Sequential Test of
Educational Process), a personal in-

terview, and submission of all high
school and college work. The program
coordinator suggests that a strong
background in science and health is
helpful yet not mandatory.
'' Respiratory therapy is a relatively
new field, so there are still growing
pains," says Just. "A graduated
therapist can expect to start out at
approximately $1,000 a month." Respiratory therapists work mostly in a
hospital setting, yet the field includes
testing and research, education and
sales, making the job opportunities
good nationwide, he says.
Just concludes, "I intend to make
this the best program in the United
States, so when people get out of here,
they'll not only be referred to as being
experts and really knowing their
material, but they'll successfully complete all the required examinations."

Other scheduled activities include:
Tuesday, Nov. 6
11 a.m. (Movie) "Nuclear Power: Help or Hazard? The
Ultimate energy." (Forum 308)
12 noon. (Movie) "Brown's Ferry" (Math 235)

Fairw ays,
fire hydr ants
and frisbe es

"The first fairway is a dog-leg left
and you can't see the hole from the
tee," Mitch Allara begins. "It's a long
par three. The hole is the fire
hydrant.''
The fire hydrant?
Allara, a serious golf buff and
Lane's intramurals director, has
traded in his irons and woods for a
plastic disc -- and he's brought frisbee
golf to LCC.
The game, according to Allara and
his assistant Amy Dahl, is basically the
same. Tee-offs, pars and roughs are
still part of the challenge, but those
serious about the sport carry several
different weights of frisbees instead of
different weights of clubs.
Dahl, for one, is serious about it. "I
have some friends who carry several
different weights of frisbees when they

play," she explains. "Big, heavy ones
for distance on the fairway; light ones
with more control for closer· to the
target.
'' It puts the laws of physics and
everything else into the science of
throwing a frisbee,'' she adds solemnly.
But there are still those "duffers"
who aren't terribly interested in the
science of aerodynamics. "Everybody
at some time or another has thrown a
frisbee," Dahl asserts, "and this
game is for them, too."
It might even prove an interesting
change of pace. On crowded beaches
or lawns, often the object of casual
frisbee throwing is NOT hitting anything. The goal in frisbee golf is the
opposite.
Allara and Dahl have established a
nine-hole, 50-par course on the north
side of the campus. They optimistically
call it the "front nine," while looking
to expant to 18-holes incorporating
some of the "roughs" south of the
buildings.
Meanwhile, they are issuing challenges to "all comers" and keeping a
stock of frisbees, in two different
weights, at the ready.
With a student I. D. cars, anyone can
check . out a frisbee, map and score
card from the lntramurals Office (in
the gym lobby).
As Allara explains it, "My idea is to
provide an opportunity to recreate
without spending lots of money. It's a
good recreational activity for between
classes or on an hour break.''
Or, in less lofty terms, it sounds like
a great way to spend an hour tromping
around chasing badly thrown frisbees
and having a heck of a good time doing
it.

A local band has f igured out a way to
put its diverse talents to good use by
becoming three separate bands in one
-- Diamond Jackson, The Emerald
Express , and The Emerald Buccaroos.
Three musicians play in all three
bands.
Leader Georges Bou hey, keyboard
player and songwriter, joined bassist
Ken Hanselman's band , The Emerald
Express , in spring of 1978, with the
idea of creating a national quality
recording act. The Express was play·ing disco and top 40 material. Hanselman , also a songwriter, liked the idea
of an all-original band, but did not
want to jeopardize the following that
he had already built up as The
Emerald Express. Hence, Diamond
Jackson was born .
'' Diamond Jackson is the 'elite'
band ," says Bouhey. " Since they
didn 't play in town every weekend we
could charge more for them. They
were the special show band ."
" Diamond Jackson is pretty exclusive," agrees Hanselman . The band
was recently the opening act for Snail
at the fairgrounds, in a benefit
concert.
Bouhey and Hanselman agree that
all their songs are written with lead
singer Gaye Lee Russell in mind. "I
write lyrics for her personality, "
reveals Hanselman, "songs that she
can get behind. Singers need to get
behind the tune to be able to sing
about it. It's hard for me to imagine
anyone else doing them. She's the
hottest singer I've ever heard," he
confesses.
Russell claims her singing style is
''somewhere between Janis Joplin and
Barbara Streisand,'' and sees similaritie~ ~etween herself and Joplin. ''She
The TORCH
--worth
waiting for

nad so much heart, and had such a
hard life ... 1'11 tell you. If you think
anyone' s had a hard life, 1' m gonna
write the book on it , " announces
Russell.
Unt il recently the band booked itself
as The Emerald Express when employer's requested anything other than
original material. But now , according
to Russell , the " copy tune " part of
their triple personality is being phased
out . As the band gains a following as
Diamond Jackson, the original songs
take precedence. ''We never do disco
anymore, unless someone requests
it ,' ' she says.
The third band , The Emerald Buccaroos, plays even less frequently than
The Emerald Express. ''The Buccaroos play ' country country ' -- I mean
real country," says Bouhey. Their
agent , according to Hanselman , would
occasionally get a phone call requesting a country band. " We are all
seasoned mus icians , but country gigs
never paid very much. " So with
Bouhey on drums, Hanselman on
bass , and Michael Kelsay on guitar
(He 's also Diamond Jackson 's gu itarist.) the tr io would take the job, calling
themselves the Emerald Buccaroos.
They would switch instruments and
lead vocals at the beginning of every
set, exercising their versatility .
David Rodakowski, drummer for
Diamond Jackson has been '' in the
music business for 15 or 16 years,"
according to Russell. "He's great.
He's the best drummer I've ever
worked with. He just wants to play
around the area, be real tight, and get
a good show together, but not go too
far."
Russell may speak for the rest of the
band when she says, "Basically what I
want to do is to be able to relate to
everyone, and that's the hardest to
do.' '

Peopl e's Coop erativ e offers

by Sara Chrischilles
for The TORCH
Willamette People's Cooperative
Grocery focuses on selling "wholesome, organic'' food to its customers.
''We sell no refined sugars or foods
made with preservatives,'' says Erik
Ackerson, co-manager of the 10 year
old natural foods grocery. "Members
try to select non-sprayed, organic
foods over that which has been
sprayed or made with artificial ingredients.''
Located on the corner of 22nd and
Emerald Streets in Eugene, the vegetarian co-op grocery sells a variety of
fresh produce, grains, herbs, unrefined oils, dairy products, and other
healthy snacks and natural foods.
The cooperative is ecologically
minded in its policy, he says, because
it recycles all paper and glass products
and turns all food waste into compost
(used for soil fertilization.) The minimal amount actually thrown away is
then picked up by Garbagio's Garbage
Collective.
According to Ackerson, the co-op
keeps its overhead as low as possible
by puchasing as much "locally" grown
fruits and vegetables as it can. The
co-op also receives most of its grains,
breads, and juices from other local
cooperatives, such as Solstice Bakery,
Genesis Juice, and Star Flour. ''This
way we cut unnecessary transportation
costs and also support the cooperative
effort,'' said Ackerson.
"We also eliminate the cost of
packaging since we buy most of our

grains, beans, dried fruits, and foods
that don't spoil, in bulk," he adds. "It
is useless to pay the expense of
packaging just to throw it away.
"The co-op is a community resource," says Ackerson, "and the
people who shop here, as a body, own
the co-op since all the profits received
are invested directly back into the
business. So anyone who buys here is
automatically an investor."
Every few months the co-op sponsors a bake sale or benefit to raise
additional funds to help cover its
extra expenses. This way the "investors" find other levels to maintain
the co-op so they can con.tinue to keep
food prices as low as possible.
''Willamette People's Co-op Grocery simply cannot exist without the
participation and support of the community," Ackerson says, so it urges
people to "plug-in" in any way
possible. Although a small wage is
paid to a few co-managers (who do
selected jobs within the co-op) anyone
is welcome to work at the store for an
hourly food credit. Some of the jobs
include cheesecutt ing, stocking,
cleaning, and various special projects.
Willamette People's Co-op Grocery
is open Monday - Friday 10 a.m. - 7
p.m., Saturday 10a.m. - 6 p.m. and
Sunday 12a.m. - 6 p.m.

• The union had proposed a one
percent "longevity bonus" for the 25
or so employees who have been at the
top of the salary schedule for three or
more years.
The fact-finder disagreed, recommending the union withdraw this
proposal.
After the board vote, member
Charlene Curry said, "We just want to
come to a fair settlement as soon as we
can."
Tennis, speaking for the union
membership, agreed. "I feel that the
board's directive was clear. The
negotiations have dragged on for eight
months and we're eager for an
agreement.''
Mills, the college's head negotiator,
is currently out of town, but Tennis
says that immediately upon his return
they will "go back to the table."
Negotiations could begin again as
early as next Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Despite Salazar's _challenge ...

Rono runs away with first

"Super-Kenyan" did it again. For
the fourth straight year, Henry Aono
easily took the individual title in the
NCAA 's Northern Division Cross
Country Championships.
The race, featuring competition
between Aono and his Washington
State teammates, Oregon's distance
stars, Oregon State University and the
University of Washington, was run last
Saturday on LCC's course.
The U of O's Alberto Salazar, last
year's NCAA National Cross Country
Championship and a consistant competitor against Aono, was the only
runner to offer the Kenyan any
challenge.
Rona's winning time of 28:41.5 was
just six seconds faster than Salazar.
The two men ran almost side-by-side
for the first three miles of the 10,000
meter course. Then, sooner than
expected, Aono surged ahead, turning
in a 4:27 for the fourth mile. Salazar
stayed close behind, but couid not
overtake him.
While Salazar could not take the
individual honors, he lead his teammates to a first place team finish for
Oregon.
The scoring was rounded out with
Bill McChesney in third, Rudy Chapa
fourth, ex-Titan Ken Martin fifth, and
Jeff Nelson seventh.

Although admitting that he too, as a
salesperson, occasionally lied to a
customer about the worth of a car, he
strongly disapproves of the deceit. In
fact, it was one of Sgro's impelling
motives in beginning his vendetta on
behalf of the naive customer.
The arrogant salespeople and dealers make too much profit at the
consumers' expense, he believes. If a
dealer sells a car for $2,000 and it only
costs him/her $1,000, the dealer
makes a profit of $1,000, he explains
as an example. Sgro claims that the
money would probably be divided by
giving the dealer $250 and the
salesperson would qet a 25 or 30
percent cut of the $750 going back into
the dealership.
" I don't think it's fair that ·the
consumer should have to pay well over
the price of a car." Then he asks
rhetorically, "Where is the justice in
that?''
Sgro is also opposed to dealers using
two book prices to determine the
selling price of a car. "Dealers carry
two books -- there is a dealers' book
(wholesale price which the company
probably paid for the car), and there is
the customers' book (retail price for
which they can probably sell the car).
There is a sticker price on the window
but there is another column there that
you don 't see. They run it off on a ditto
machine and they fo ld the paper so you
don ' t see that column ." Sgro suggests
that the '' dealer sho uld show both
pri ces and let the customer decide
wh at the fa ir pr ice is.'' _
Another of Sgro' s major gr ipes is
the brash, aggressiveness of t he
salesperson. ''The sal esperson is
sometimes too insistant,'' he says with
a slight tongue in cheek. For example,
some dealerships -- one notorious in
the Eugene area -- use what is cal led
the "system lot."
The salespeople wait at the door
until a car pulls into the car lot. Then
they immediately get in front of the
car, flag it down, and open the car door
even before the engine is turned off.
The customer is wisked out of the car
while a salesperson takes it for a test
drive. In the meantime the customer is
placed in a dealership car while
another salesperson presses the customer to buy.
Another tactic that Sgro encount-

ered while working as a salesperson is
''turning'' people. If a salesperson
spends more than twenty minutes
getting the customer inside the car
then the salesmanager will call him to
• the phone and send someone else out
to take over.
Sgro says he thinks most people
buying a car are oblivious to the
psychology used by the salespeople to
intimidate and eventually influence
the customer. So he established
CARS.

"Instead of going through the
hassle of finding a car and fighting
their way through all the car salespeople they can contact me,'' he
explains. The clients tell Sgro what
kind of car they are looking for and
how much they are willing to spend. "I
locate a few cars for them to choose
from and in the process (if the client
buys a car) I charge a percentage
(roughly 10 percent) of the amount
that we save.' '
That percentage covers all of Sgro's
expenses -- travel expenses, phone
calls , time setting up appointments
and locating the car, and negotiating
with the salespeople.
If a dealer is asking $3,400 for a car
and Sgro helps his clients buy it for

$2,000, he would help them save
$1,400 in this example. Sgro would
earn about $130 for that particular
sale.
A written contract is drawn up
between Sgro and a client which
includes how much money will be
spent for the car. "If you say you want
to spend $2,000 on a car, that's the
price that I write down. If (the
salesperson) is willing to come down to
$2,100, you'll have to make that
decision (to spend more money).
Because as far as I'm concerned
you've set a ceiling price of $2,000."
Sgro also guarantees that he will get
all agreements between the salesperson and the customer in writing to
avoid any problems after the sale is
made. "A lot of dealers will stand in
front of their cars before the sale then
after the sale they won't be standing
anywhere near it."
When he brings a customer to the
lot, Sgro asks the customer "not to talk
or to say as little as possible because of
the fact I feel if you're hiring me you
should get you're money's worth by
letting me do all your negotiating;" he
says.
Sgro notifies the dealer before
arriving at the car lot to ask that no car

salespeople "disturb or distract" his
client. When there is a confrontation
between Sgro and a car salesperson
Sgro employs the same tactics as the
salesperson by being evasive -- "playing one card at a time."
According to Sgro this game entices
the salesperson to reveal more than he
normally would. "I have to be one step
better than him. If this guy's got a
shrewdness level of nine on a 10
scale," he says with a sly smile, "then
I've got to be a 10. The more I save you
then the more I make -- and the less
(the salespeople and dealership)
makes.''
Sgro and the car salespeople are
playing in the same league. All are
evasive but aggressive. All are trying
to get money from the consumer using
the same tactics.
The difference lies is the fact that
the car salespeople make their money
depending on how much the consumer
spends whereas Sgro makes his money
depending on how much the consumer
saves.
"I always like to work for the
underdog," he says grinning . "And I
kind of get pleasure out of going back
and seeing some of these car salesmen
and just putting them in their places.''
