Student defen·ds Iran, criticizes US
Iran is a country that has been ruled
for 2,500 years by kings. Even though
a constitution was adopted in 1906 the
rule was by a dictatorship with
oppression of the people. For this
reason there have been revolutions.
The revolution we had last year was
a bloody one with fighting lasting
almost 12 months . The secret police,
or "Savak," tried to control the
people. They killed many young
people. The fi_ghting increased. The
U.S. government in Iran supported the
"Savak." Most of the Iranian students know of someone who was killed
or imprisoned.
The shah was in power for 35 years
supported by the U.S. government.
Most of the government funds went for
military arms. There was no freedom
of speech or writing. The people
became even poorer.
The leader of the revolution was
Khomeini. The revolution forced the
shah to· leave the country. The shah
took with him about $22 billion. Now
we want him back because of the
killings. During the one year of

revolution he had 50,000 of the most
intelligent people killed. Besides he
killed many people during the -whole
35 years (of his) reign, and we also
want the money back which rightfully
belongs to the Iranian people.
Now the new situation with the
hostages, we believe was done to bring
attention to how (Iranians) feel about
the shah. They want the U.S. to know
what kind of ~an they were supporting.
I personally believe they will not be
harmed and I • hope the American
people will understand how we feel.

It wasn't iust for us?
Wonderful news! We members of the human race may well be twice as_
important as we thought we were.
Until recently, most astronomers agreed that we were inhabitants of a· tiny
planet circling a third-rate sun on the sparse fringes of a medium-sized galaxy of
two billion stars among countless other such galaxies in a vast universe 18 billion
years old.
Like most men since the dawn of the human era, I have been quite grateful to
God for creating the earth and the firmament in my behalf. It's a sincere pleasure
to look up on a crisp night and see all those thousands of icy stars glittering in the
blackness. And if he wished also to create trillions of other unseeable ones for his
own mysterious purposes, it was certainly no skin off my back.
Time was a problem, though. If God had created this universe so vast as to be
immeasurable, why did he wait 18 billion years before creating me to enjoy it?
I'm not criticizing, of course, but 15 billion years of nothing but gasses and
molten rocks seems a bit much. Then a couple of billion years more mucking about
with algae and whatnot sounds like a waste of time. I have nothing against
dinosaurs, either, but why let them lord it over all creation for 140 million years
before getting around to my first ancestors a mere three or four million years
ago?
I'll admit, though, that all these vast expanses of space and time made me
vaguely uneasy.
As I say, I was grateful he had gone to all this bother for me, but hadn't he
perhaps overdone it? To be honest, I didn't feel I really.needed all those galaxies I
couldn't see or all that time I couldn't comprehend.
Then I realized, as do most of us, that He must have done it to make us feel
insig,nificant, to teach us humility. "I shall provide them with a universe so
incredibly vast," He probably said, "that they shall dwell in constant awe and
come to rea~ize that their lives are but inconsequential flickers on the limitless sea
of time. And thus they shall come to walk humbly al'.'ld do justice to their fellow
creatures."
And if that was his plan, it cer~ainly worked. For every time I think about it, I
humbly think-how g_enerous He was to create all those excess parsecs of space and
eons of time solely to make us better human beings.
Last week came the shocker. Three prominent astronomers said that -- whoops!
-- their colleagues had made a slight mistake.
They had bollixed up their measurements by failing to "insert a correction for
the infall rate of the local supercluster."
Consequently, the universe was only half as old and t::ialf as big as previously
believed!
Wei I, you know the mixed emotions most of us felt on receiving the news. On
the one hand it was somewhat of a blow to realize that God had gone to only half
the bother w~ thought He had in order to make us feel inconsequential. On the
other hand, we are only half as incon7equential as we thought we were.
Imagine! God took only nine billion years. to create us. And the vast and
boundless cosmos He created for our enjoyment and edification is merely half-vast
•
and half-boundless.
The only problem I see now is that if we come to think we are twice as important
as we thought we were, we won't be flt to live with.

I am appalled with the treatment
Iranians are being given throughout .
our country. It is unfair, uncalled for,
and especially inhumane. I will be the
first to acknowledge that this situation
between the United State~ and Iran is,
in many areas, far beyond my understanding and comprehension. I will
also be the first to admit that I do not
hold the answers for the solution. I do
not envy the leaders of either nation,
they have before them a perpetually
world-wide catastrophe. We owe it to
our leaders to understand this and to
realize that there probably doesn't
exist a single "right" answer. But
merely a series of suggestions and
pleas blanked with hope for compliance.
We are fortunate to have several
Iranian students at Lane. There is
much to be learned from them and
their culture, as there is also much for
them to learn from us. These are
learning experiences that must be
counted a high value, because they are
the kind that can't be fo.und in a
classroom, or in a text book, but only
through the interaction between people in relaxed, secure and spontaneous
situations.
As your student body president, I
want to remind you that all students
here are under the same restrictions,
and are given the same rights and
privileges. No student, whether full

time or part time, disabled or able,
native or foreign are to be treated or
regarded differently than the others. I
am reminding you of this because I
know that in tense times such as these,
we often allow our emotions to control
our behavior. I don't want us to let that
happen. Our Iranian peers are to be
treated as equal to the entire student
body.
At this time, I would also like to
encourage you to be especially supportive of these students. Disagreements and anger may exist but the fact
is that these students are temporary
citizens and have every right to
express their positions and feelings as
other U.S. citizens do. However, let it
be known that no where is anyone ever
given the right to physically or
emotionally injure another. I would not
or could not support any such action
from anyone.
In closing, I want to again say how
fortunate we are to have these Iranian
students on our campus. Let's take
advantage of this situation ·to show
them our "world" anti let's take time
to· look at their's. We live in a world
where walls of many sorts separate us
from one another. Let's not let this
situation wall us in or our Iranian
students out.

No further details about the board's

session.
Some of the terms in the agreement, .
as approved by the LCCEF membership, are:
• An across-the-board salary increase of $40, retroactive to July 1,
1979.
• A salary increase of one-half the
Consumer Price Index, plus two
percent, on July 1, 1980 and again on
July 1, 1981.
• A "pick-up" by the college of the
six percent monthly employee contribution to the Public Employee Retirement System (PERS), effective Nov. 1,
1979.
• A "Fair Share" arrangement,
beginning in December, 1979, for
non-union classified employees, requiring them to pay a monthly fee
(Fair Share) equivalent to union dues.
• A clause that moves employees
who have been on salary step five for
three years or more to step eight,

retroactive to July 1, 1979.
The contract covers a three year
period ending on July 1, 1982.
Before the board meeting, Hank
Douda, LCC employee relations director, told the TORCH, ''The agreement
is costly to the college, but is also
attractive because it covers a threeyear
period.''
Douda also said that the settlement
amounts to an increase in wages and
benefits of more than 14 percent.
Bill Fritz, field services representative for the Oregon Federation of
Teachers, says, ' ' It amounts to a good
settlement, perhaps one of the best in
Oregon for classified employees. ''
The settlement comes after almost
nine months of negotiation, fact-finding, and mediation.
Evelyn Tennis, vice president of the
LCC Emproyees Federation, said that
employees really needed more than
the contract provides. " But, overal1 , ·

Arab world critical of hostage-holding Iran ...
News Analysis by Sarah Jenkins
of The TORCH

Three weeks ago an Iranian student
identified only as "Eli" took pot~shots
at Arab students in an article printed
in The TORCH. The following week, in
another TORCH article, two other
Iranian students refuted her statements, while conceding that conflicts
do exist between Arab nationals and
Iranians despite their common religion.
On the international scene,
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini

the
ap-

pealed to all 400 million believers in
Allah to "rise up and defend Islam"
against ''infidels.''
But there doesn't seem to be a
consensus in the Middle East as to just
who are "true" Moslems and who are
infidels, or just how Islam should be
defended.
Moslems are divided in their beliefs,
just as Christian believers are divided
as Catholics, Baptists, Jehovah Witnesses and other groups.

and it also clearly states that one person cannot
be punished for the crimes of another.'
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Egypt -have aligned themselves with the
United States.
Here are some of the interesting
conflicts of ideologically-based policy:
• Most Islamic experts agree that
' 'the demand for the return of the shah
(Mohammed Reza Pahlavi) to face trial
in Iran is in agreement with Moslem
law," according to Zaki Badawi,
Egyptian director of the Islamic Cultural Center in London.
• But despite this agreement, one of
the ranking authorities on Islamic law
at Cairo's ancient Al Azhar Unive,:-sity
points out a conflicting section of the
Shari'a, the Islamic canon law. He
charges that the ayatollah 's " evil
hunger for the death of a sick man is a
towering crime under Islamic law." •
Islam, he says, "considers any sick
or dying person with extreme humility."
• Islamic scholars (except in Iran)
-are virtually unanimous in condemning the seizure of the US -Embassy
and the American hostages. Says
Badawi, ' 'There is no basis in Islam for
this. Islam does not justify the taking
of hostages, and it also clearly states
that one person cannot be punished for
the crimes of another."
• The strongest attack against
Khomeini has come from Egyptian

seige of the Grand Mosque in Mecca,
the holiest site in the Moslem world.
Gunman seized the mosque on Nov.
21, holding it for four days before
being ousted by Saudi military troops.
Although to date there have been no
positive identifications on the individuals involved or their alliances,
they are known to be members of a
dissident Moslem sect which has
strong religious ties to the Shi'ite
Moslems of Iran.
But there have been no direct ties to
Khomeini or to Khomeini·s call for
defending Islam.
While Khomeini claimed that it is
"not far-fetched to assume that this
act (of seizing the mosque) has been
carried out by criminal American
imperialism ... and international Zionism," both Sadat and Saudi Arabia's
King Khaled vehemently deny this.
Both leaders attribute the take-over
to "fanatisism" without giving further
details.
• While the Moslem world is
challenged by name-calling, some
observers believe the US and European nations will come out the
winner, if only by default.

condemned the seizure of the American hostages. "This is not Islam,"

. but Arab-Iranian conflicts have long history
News Analysis by Lucy White
of The TORCH

"Iran has gone through some
wrenching changes," says Joe Kremers, LCC social science instructor.
Those changes, some completed centuries ago, continue to influence the
conflict and upheaval in Iran.
Kremers says that part of Iran's
internal strife stems from its geographical location as a crossroads for
conquest dating back as long as 2,000
years ago.
It's an ancient nation with its own
culture, history and customs,
but
because of its history of internal, as
well as external, conflicts, "it is now
experiencing the same types of problems as a young, developing country.
Deciding the pace and direction of
these changes is presently the source
of much of the division between
Iranians,'' analyses Kremers. ,
Iran was once a part of the mighty
Persian Empire which flourished from
559 B.C. to 300 B.C. and stretched
from India through the Middle East
and into southern Europe. Though it
resisted a major Ottoman (Turkish)
conquest in the late 1500s A. D. and
has never been colonized by an outside
country, it has been conquered by
several major armies from time to
time, including those of the Greeks,
Turks, Mongols and Islamic Moslems.
This turbulent history has left a
diverse mixture of peoples living in
one nation -- Arabs, Turks and K·urds,
among others.
According to Kremers, the placement of boundaries and the division of
territories resulted in hostilities and
resentment between
the various
groups in Iran.
Iran also houses several conflicting
political factions within its country.
''The modern development of Marxism within the mainstream population
has caused an ideological split between the ·Islamic traditionals and the
Marxists, many of whom are university students,'' Kremers points out.
Iran has long been a key Middle
Eastern state both politically and
economically. The Russian and British
empires jockeyed for political position
in I ran prior to the 1900s. Then with
the rise of industrialization and British
discovery of oil ifl Iran, competition
over Iran intensified. When the British
influence in that' part of the Middle
East began to diminish in 1951, the US
moved in to fill the power vacuum. •
As a warm-water port, Iran is ideally
located for all types of trade. The
Persian Gulf is the channel through
which more than half of the nonCommunist world's oil supply travels.
Paul Malm, LCC international relations instructor, points out that the
Persian Gulf is also of critical importance because of its strategic location
for military ports and bases.
The gulf has been a cause of rivalry
and conflict between Iran and Iraq,
which borders Iran to the west. Malm
claims Iraq has long wanted to expand
its holdings on the gulf to gain more
economic and political leverage.
Another geographic struggle exists
between Iran and Saudi Arabia, its
neighbor to the southwest. In the
early 1970s I ran captured three small
islands located in the Persian Gulf
which had been claimed by Saudi
Arabia.
Iranians are Moslems, as are the
populations of the neighboring ,Arab
countries. The "Nation of Islam" -those who keep the faith as set forth in
the Koran -- number between 370 and
400 million worldwide. But several
sects have developed within the basic
religion since the death of the Prophet
Mohammed in 632 A.O.
Most of the Moslems in Iran, Iraq
and Yemen practice or follow the

teachings of a minority theological
system of the Shi'a, and are called
Shi'ites. They compose about 35
million -- less than 10 percent of the
total Islamic world. But in Iran the
Shi' ites have had an established state

view of the power of community
leaders -- caliphs. Shi'ites believe that
the caliph is an imam, or guardian of
the faith, is appointed by God through
the Prophet Mohammed, and has the
power of divine wisdom -- and there-

attempting to live by the doctrines of
the Islamic faith, they are liable to err.
. Anwar Sadat of Egypt has called
Khomeini a lunatic -- whi~h hardly fits
the ideal of being infallible. Khomeini,
in turn, says Sadat is not a true
Moslem.
The United States and Iran exchanged military weapons for oil over
the last 20 years or so, whereas Iraq,
Syria and Egypt have all had 15-year
"treaties of friendship" with the
USSR. Religion may have had a factor
in this alignment: Strident Shi'ites,
such as the Ayatollah Khomeini, have
been especially critical of Russia's
''Godless nature.'' And now Khomeini
is vehemently anti-US -- calling Americans "satans, infidels." The Shi'ite
ayatollah is waging a religious war or
"Jihad" against the United States, his
followers openly admit.

Iran's long and turbulent history, its

The Iranian cities of Qom and Meshed
are regarded as holy cities by Shi'ite
believers.
One difference between the Shi'ites
and the followers of the orthodox
Sunnis system, called Sunnites, has to
do with acceptance of the prophets.
The Shi'ites believe that 12 prophets
or imam were leaders of the Shi'a until
878 A.O., when the 12th and last imam
disappeared. Shi'ites believe that the

The my ste ry of th e wr itt
• Sid Austin admits he didn't always
like writing.
It was his worst subject in school,
he explains ironically. But when he
discovered its "beauty," he overachieved with the lust of a late•
bloomer.
Not only did he develop a passion for
writing, but also for writing instruments -- quill pens, ink wells and
bottles, traveling sets, everything.
And while some people ·might be
satisfied with a simple study of the
subject, Austin took his love one step
further -- he became a collector.
In the 12 years since he found his
first ink bottle in the old Ferry Street
Dump, he has gathered over 400 pens
of all kinds, plus ink- pots, wells and
bottles dating back to the 17Q0s.
''Through the discovery of that little
old cobalt blue ink bottle,'' Austin says
simply of his first find, "came my love
of reading and writing."
Now at 47, Austin is a student of
history at LCC. But he was a college
employee for nine years before resigning in 1977. At that time, as he
explained in his letter of resignation,
'' I have decided to make a change in
my life and open the door to new
experiences and opportunity.''

Part of those expected ''experiences" included a now almost complete 400 page manuscript on the
history of writing instruments. The
researching, compiling and writing
has taken him most of the two years
•
since he left the college's employ.
As th'e manuscript approaches completion, Austin has contacted the
Smithsonian Institute in Washington,
D.C. about publishing his book and
.
exhibiting his collection.
The response from the institute has
''expressed interest without giving
any promises,'' Austin reports. And
for him, that's ~nough -- at least for
now.
He hopes to have the book completed by the end of the year. Then he
will submit it to the institute for
consideration.
For now, he continues his research,
searches for possible additions and
just enjoys his collection. "It's the
beauty of it," he says as he glances at
the workmanship of a small ink bottle.
"It just captured me."

This inkstand, made in 1877, is cut Cf}

This cobalt blue ink bottle, c. 1900, started Austin's collection in 1967.

-Palestinian refle·cts on his·tory
Forum by Mohazamet
AI-Talaba
of the Organization of Arab Students
at LCC
EDITOR'S NOTE: Forums are essays
contributed by TORCH readers. The
opinions expressed are those of the
writer only.

On Nov. 2, 1917, Balfour, the British
prime minister declared that "His
Majesty's government view with
favour the establishment in Palestine
of a national home for the Jewish
people ... ". This declaration formally
linked the Zionist movement to Imperialism in general and the British
Imperialist in specific.
When Zionism succeeded in obtaining British support, there were still no
more than 56,700 Jews in a Palestinian
population of some 700,000; and most
of-those Jews were recent immigrants,
who had been granted neither citizenship nor legal residence by the
Ottoman authorities ruling Palestine.
This Jewish population owned only 2.5

percent of Palestine land.
It is quite obvious why first Britian,
then the United States and the
Imperialist State in general pledged
their support to "Israel" as a base for
their interests in the area. All of the
Zionist movement founders have expressed the fact, in their contacts with
the British, German or Ottoman
governme·nts, that the Jewish State
will serve as "a guard for ,he
imperialist interests in the area".
• The Zionist leaders saw that the rise
of Arab nationalism, and Arab aspiration for freedom and unity, would
jeopardise Britian 's control over the
Suez Canal. "A reliable ally ought to
be more than welcome.''
.
Having been sponsored from the
outset by the west, Israel shares a
number of common traits with other
similarly supported colonial ventures
such as South Africa, Mozambique or
other colonies. But also have other
distinctive features that set it apart as
a colonialist form.
The first, and most important, in
theory as well as in practice, Zionist

settler colonialism was based on the
principle of population transfer. The
Palestinian Arabs were forced systematically to leave Palestine into
neighboring countries. The Zionist
wanted "A pure Jewish State." "A
State that is Jewish as much as
England is English."
Nowdays millions of Palestinians
live in exile to the Zionist policy of
subduing the Arabs to outrageous
treatment aiming to force them to flee
their country. Herzal, the father of
Zionism, said, "we must try to spirit
the penniless Arabs across the borders."
The second trait of the settlercolonial state is its expansionist nature. Up till May 1948, the Jewish
settlers owned less than 6 percent of
Palestine.
Today they occupy 100 percent of
Palestine in addition to other Arab
territory. The Zionist policy practices
continuance of expropriation of Arab
land, in addition to thousands of
settlements built on Arab land, the
Zionist entity has announced recently,
plans to increase the number of
settlements in the area of Bani Naiena,
while the Minesterial Committee for
settlements announced its decision to
establish 78 new settlements.
The third trait of the Zionist enclave
is its racial discriminatory nature. It is

well documented - by the SundayTimes Report, the National Lawyer
Guild Report and others· - that the
Zionist authorities in occupied Palestine practice fascist-racist policies
against the Palestinian Arabs. In fact,
this is part and parcel of the Zionist
goal of creating an exclusively Jewish
state. Those Palestinians whom the
Zionists have not managed to expel are
considered as third class citizens by
the occupation forces. Long records of
daily Zionist practices against the
Palestinians which include investigaation, condemnations, arrests, curfews, oppression and terror, destroying homes, torture, killing, ... etc.
Also in ''Israel'' the Jews of
European origin, called Ashkenazi
Jews, control the major political and
economic institution, while Jews of
Arab origin, called Sepheric or
Oriental Jews, are treated as second
plass citizens. The discrimination
practiced against Sepharic Jews limits
the level of income and education they
receive and bars them from high level
positions in the Zionist administration.
There are some aspects of the
Zionist settler - Colonialist State. The
Palestinian Arab people are determined to continue their struggle till
the establishment of a Secular democratic state in Palestine for all Jews,
Christians and Moslems.

According to Del Matheson, head

(at LCC) there were Sunday hours, but
few people took advantage of them.
There were several Saturdays when no

With the pre-finals Sunday hours,
Matheson is hoping that problem
won't be repeated.
If enough students use the library on
Sunday, Matheson and the library

Titans finis-h fourth in OCCAA T.ip-off
by Kari Johnson
for The TORCH

A young Titan basketball team,
supported by nine new freshmen
faces, finished a disappointing fourth
in the annual OCCAA Tip-off last
weekend in Coos Bay.
This was the men's first competitive
action this season and their inexperience was fairly evident by their show
last weekend.

The Titans first game was exciting
as well as challenging, but Treasure
Valley Community College proved to
be too much. Lane trailed TVCC up
until the 10:26 point in the second half.
Then, LCC went ahead 55-53.
For the rest of the game the lead
was traded back and forth with LCC
gaining the greatest advantage 68-63.
But TVCC came back to tie the score
by the final buzzer, sending the game
into over-time.

The over-time play was close. With
15 seconds left to play LCC held the
advantage with a one point lead,
79-78. TVCC gained posession and
called time-out with 12 seconds remaining. Treasure Valley then ran a
well executed play and with one shot
scored to win, 80-79.
Four Lane scorers were in double
figures. Freshman Don Bell led with
16 points while teammates Kurt
Reuter and Jerry Zarnakee scored 15
apiece. Greg Brouchet finished with

10.

In consolation play against Umpqua
Community College, LCC didn't fare
much better. Umpqua upset the Titans
with a score of 78-70. The game was

decided at the foul line, as LCC shot a
mere 8-16 from the line, while
Umpqua shot an astounding 26-32.
Titan freshman Don Bell, a former
Thurston High School star, was the
game stand-out. He scored a high of 23
points while pulling in 11 rebounds,
bringing his tournament total to 39
points and 15 rebounds. This outstanding play earned him a place in
the All-Tournament Team. He was
the only player named from the Titan
team.
Dale Bates LCC's basketball coach,
sees last weekend as a learning
experience: "In my mind we should be
1-1, but the main thing is to go to
school, learn and mature.''

Four returning to Titan team
by Kari Johnson
for The TORCH
The LCC men's basketball season
swings into full action next month. The
Titans have already seen some competitive action as they traveled to Coos
Bay last weekend for the annual
OCCAA Tip-Off Tourney.
LCC returned with a disappointing
fourth place finish, losing tough games
to Treasure Valley Community College
and Umpqua Community College.
Despite the disappointing finish Coach

Dale Bates is very optimistic about the

season. This years team may be one of

LCC's best, he reports. "Two games
does not a season make," Bates says.
The Titans return four lettermen,
including Jerry Zarnakee. Indications
are that the front line will be fair size
with Zarnakee (6' 5"), Sean Cashman
(6' • 5" ), Kurt Reuter (6' 6"), an~
red-shirts Kirk Mader (6' 6"), and
Greg Brouchet (6' 3"). Freshmen are
Don Bell (6' 6"), Mike Larsen (6' 4"),
Steve Richardson (6' 6"), and Martin
Slaughter (6' 8"). Mike Murphey (6'
0") is the only returning letterman for
back court duty.
The strong freshmen recruits likely
to be starting are Jon G_!Jtwig (6' 2' '),

• Track meeting set
The men's and women's track
and field teams will be holding an
organizational meeting Tuesday,
Dec. 4, at 3 p.m. in Forum 308.
The meeting will focus on practice schedules, meets and coaching
assignments, and will give athletes
an opportunity to ask questions
about the 1979-80 track and field
season.
Anyone interested in competing
in the spring track and field season
should attend this meeting. If
unable to attend, contact Al
Tarpenning, LCC's head track
coach, at extension 2549.

Ben Herr (5' 8"), Keith Green (6' 3"),
Dave Lindley (6' 0"), and Dave Shields
(6' 0").
The battle for starting roles will be
tough as the young freshmen are
working hard and are challenging the
lettermen, Bates says. As the team
stands now there are four freshmen
occupying the top six spots on the
team.
The 1978-79 season wasn't alltogether favorable as the young Titans
finished sixth in the OCCAA with a 7-9
record. After a slow start they put
together a consistent offense with the
league's second best defense and won
five of their last six games.
The 1979-80 season will be one with
many new faces and much competition
for the starting roles. This will make
for an exciting, hustling team as Lane
challenges for the OCCAA play-offs
and Region 18 tournament berths.

(PORTLAND) PART-TIME INSTRUCTORS AT PORTLAND STATE UNlversity have become the country's first unionized part-tinie faculty at a four-year
institution. The union's first contract was signed recently. It abolishes a PSU
policy of limiting part-timers' terms of employment to two years. The contract
also gives the teachers a 14.3 percent increase, according to the Vanguard.
An Iranian student boycott of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service
visa review is receiving the support of the Portland State University Student
Senate, according to the Associated Press (AP).
The senate is also asking PSU to refuse to give the immigration agency space
on campus on which to conduct the interviews. Student Senator Gary Scarff
introduced the motion, saying that the interviews are discriminatory.

for The TORCH

(EUGENE) GRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS (GTF) AT THE UNIVERSITY
of Oregon have ratified a new contract. Jeff Edmundsen, vice president of the
Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation (GTFF), told the Oregon Daily Emerald
that the issue of how many hours GTF's could be expected to work was the most
controversial. Negotiations for the new two-year agreement began last April.
The new contract will expire in June of 1981.

(ALBANY) THE LINN-BENTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE COMMUTER
reports that the loss of a full-time school nurse because of budget cuts has
prompted the college to distribute to the faculty a list of students with health
problems. Some teachers at LBCC became concerned when told by college
attorney Jim Delapoer that they could be held liable for aid given in an
emergency, the newspaper reported. Teachers can use the list to determine who
in their classes has health problems. They can get further information on the
nature of the problem by contacting the Dean of Students.

(GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO) STUDENTS AT MESA COLLEGE, A
four-year state institution, have free use of a lawyer for legal ·advice, legal
letter-writing, the drafting of legal documents, and career counseling for pre-law
students. The attorney is on a retainer from the college Student Body
Association, which pays the retainer charge from student tees. LCC has a similar
service - also provided by the student union.
According to the Portland State University Vanguard, the student government
can not seek advice from (and use college money for) a private attorney without
approval of the PSU administration. A similar Florida case involves a lawsuit by
three students who say that a similar policy denies them due process.

(SALEM) AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR OREGON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
(OCE) course offerings at the Chemeketa Community College is at the center of a
controversy that has resulted in the removal of those courses from the CCC
campus, says the CCC Courier 4. OCE -- located in Monmouth -- took out a
full-page advertisement announcing •that six courses would be offered at
Chemeketa under CCC's Continuing Education Program.
But Chemeketa officials told the Courier 4 that OGE was not given permission
or offered space for the classes. When Chemeketa ruled that three of the classes
were duplicates of CCC courses and could not be offered there by OCE, the
Monmouth-based school withdrew all six courses from the campus.

(SALEM) THE MOTOR POOL AT CHEMEKETA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
will be using gasohol for fuel in five vehicles on an experimental basis, reports
Courier 4, the CCC weekly newspaper. Although the gasohol will cost about 15
cents more per gallon than gasoline, Campus Director of Trades Earl Bennet
said that gasohol will increase octane, increase fuel mileage, decrease carbon
monoxide emissions, and save 1.8 gallons of crude oil for each gallon of alcohol
used .

disco, and is already planning to
switch to ''over 21 '' sometime in
January. Advertising manager Kerry
Bunnard attributes the change to _the
economic factors in the area. "Kids
can't afford to come out at night and
pay a cover charge,'' he says. '' (They
are) allocated a certain amount. It
seems they spend like crazy during the
week.'' Teenagers often argue the
cover charge with the employee at the
door.
Bunnard believes that school activities curtail profits at Grand Illusions.
"We're just breaking even."
Parents, _
a pparently, have not raised
objections to the teen disco concept.
"The parents think it gives kids
something to do," says the Woodside
Brewery's Hildebrand. Yet parental
support is not enough to keep the
discos in business.
Wednesday is ladies' night at Grand
Illusions. Ladies get in free as an
incentive to male clientele. But it
doesn't work. "It's all ladies -- no men
at all," says Bunnard. "On Thursdays
we have maybe a dozen people.'' And
that, according to all the managers is
not enough.
''We plan to keep some days as teen
days," surmises Bunnard, "but financially we need to go over 21. ''

Selections on flute, piano and voice
will highlight the concert.

Disco has become the great American past-time in the last few years
Every novelty from record aIoums to
clothes has enjoyed profitable sales -every novelty, that is, except the teen
disco.
In the Eugene-Springfield area,
several people have attempted to make
the teen disco format work, but al I
have failed.
Ed Ramsey of Valley Land Realty is
currently converting Springfield's abandoned Odyssey 3001 teen disco
into a restaurant and lounge. "It won't
be for kids," Ramsey declares. "It' II
be for adults. We have a liquor
license."
Eugene's Woodside Brewery opens
its doors to the under 21 crowd on
Sunday nights. But manager Bruce
Hildebrand finds the practice unprofitable. '' It doesn't make that much
money. There's just too small a
population in Eugene." Hildebrand
says kids seem to spend their money
during the week so that by Sunday
their funds are exhausted. "You can't
charge enough to make a profit. It just
doesn't pay."
Grand Illusions opened this past
October strictly as an "under ·21"
