'Bankruptcy!'
Someone asked me at a party the other
night what I was '·into' ' these days and I
truthfully replied: "Debt."
Actually, my wife Glynda and I are quite
enthusiastic about it. During the '70s, like
most couples, we were "into" TM, est,
pre-primal scream therapy and all that trite
old stuff. But they've seen their day and
we honestly believe that debt is going to be
the "in" trip of the '80s.
If you are seriously considering getting
"into" debt, however, I would strongly
urge that you first attend one of these new
Debt Consciousness Training Seminars. A
good guru can really help you avoid a bad
trip.

Our seminar was held in the drafty
ballroom of a second-class downtown
hotel. First, a couple of "graduates" stood
• up to deliver little personal testimonials.
"A year ago, I was a lousy $100-a-week
office boy, but today I'm into hock over my
eyeballs,'' said one young man proudly.
"Yes;sir, I'm an all-new me."
Our leader, a grim fellow in a somewhatthreadbare three-piece suit then delivered
The Message. ''Don't ask whether you can
afford to get 'into' debt, " he began. "Ask
rather whether you can afford not to.
Remember that every dollar you borrow today can be paid back with 50 cents five
years from now. A penny saved, let us not
forget, is a penny down the rat-hole.''
Well, Glynda and I were converted then
and there. We went right home and burned

No babies in class
To the editor:
The article (Combining motherhood and
education) in last Thursday's TORCH was,
I believe, a little one-sided.
I am a single mother of two children
under the age of 2 and I also nurse my
baby, so I can understand the problem of
the nursing mother. But I believe that college is for adults and not for children. The
average child can't sit or be quiet long
enough to be in an adult class without
disturbing the other students that have
paid lots of money to further their education.

our old five percent mortage, which only
had a few thousand dollars to go, and too~
out a new 20 percent one for all the banker
would bear.
It wasn't as much as we'd hoped.
"Frankly, if there's one thing we bankers
hate doing these days," he explained,
"it's lending money. You're very lucky
you don't really need it. "
With guidance from our seminar leader,
we used the cash to make the down
payments on a car, a summer home,
assorted appliances and a small yacht.
We also joined a country club in order to
run up a huge bar bill. I' II never forget the
day we were posted. ''Wow,'' said Glynda, "what a high!"
Why not take a poll and find out if
students like to have babies and kids in
classrooms? I'm not against babies or
small children -- it's just that I don't feel
that they belong in a classroom.
Finally, I'd like to let the single mother
know that there is a program called JRT
that will help a single mother pay for child
care and mileage, if a woman is going on a
two-year program so that she can get a
better job. Also, there is something called
WIN for single parents going on a one-year
program.

Of course, it's easier for us older couples
to get "into" debt in a big way. Few
younger people have the $20,000 cash
they need in order to get "into" an
$80,000 debt for a tiny cottage.
But as our leader points out, by
manipulating a dozen credit cards and
department-store charge accounts in the
proper manner there's no reason they
can't enjoy a meaningful debt .experience.
And they' re never too young to learn. I

Malphasia could get a student loan so she
could go to college. Now it's the other way

all it's cracked up to be. Well, just ask
yourself: If it weren't, why would so many
people be doing it?
As for Glynda, her only worry the other

ready answer for that.

Where wi 11 ya' go when the volcano blows?
Near Mount St. Helens on Tuesday TORCH photographer Wes Paz attempted to record a graphic image of the steam and ash eruptions of the
9,700 foot volcano.
The pattern of activity of the last several days was broken on Wednesday when the mountain peak shook with a flurry of small earthquakes

that formed a blur on the seismographs, interrupted by larger quakes
registered at 4.3, 4.7, and 4.6 on the Richter Scale, according to United
Press International reports received at radio station KLCC. Scientists
speculate that the mountain will produce patterns of near-continuous
steam and ash eruptions.

Red Ink looms over budget committee
by Heidi Swillinger and Sarah Jenkins
of The TORCH

··Northwest Natural Gas and EWEB are advertising to not
use gas and not use electricity ,·· deadpanned LCC Budget
Committee Member Jim Rear at Wednesday night's board
meeting. '' Maybe we should advertise to tell students to
stay home .' '
The budget committee members laughed . Then they had
to turn to the more sober task of identifying the problems
and possible solutions to LCC's fiscal future.
Complicated problems have arisen. Everything is going up
-- enrollment, which is pushing up the collBge's costs ,
payroll increases built into next year's contracts, and inflationary costs. The result will be upped tuition, increased requests to the state, and pleas to the taxpayer for more tax
dollars.
Basically, the budget committee and the board reviewed
the familiar statistics and reasons of the following:
• Unrewarded enrollment increases: When a student (or
several students combined) enrolls in 15 hours per term, an
FTE has been established. Oregon legislation provides a
reimbursement to colleges of about $1,000 per FTE, but the

mo,e
I

I

state will provide a maximum reimbursement for only 8,230
FTE. Yet, in the 1979-80 school year an unexpected deluge
of students raised LCC •s FTE to 9,100, thereby leaving the
college with nearly 1,000 hungry minds to feed but no funds
to do it with .
• Requests to Emergency Board: In hopes of receiving the
additional funds necessary to balance the budget, Oregon's
colleges went to the state emergency board in March, only
to be turned down. And suddenly, LCC was over $2 million
in the red.
The solution? There are some possibilities. The college
plans to appeal once again to the Emergency Board. If expectations are met, LCC may be granted another $400,000
in reimbursement funds.
• A olea to property owners: If voters approve the tax base
increase scheduled for the May 20 primary election, the college's sticky situation could be eased considerably. The
proposed measure would bring in a tidy $3 million.
• Upped tuition: And then there ' s always tuition. Late last
month, board members voted to increase in-district resident
tuition by $2 per credit hour. Next fall, students will pay
$165 for the 12-credit schedule they paid $143 for last
September.

But according to budget committee member Ken Parks ,
LCC 's still "the best bargain in town. "

In other action , the board :
• Approved a recommendation for board " redistricting "
presented by the Lane Council of Governments staff. According to Oregon statutes, each Board of Education zone
should contain about the same number of residents .
However, the population within the five LCC zones had not
been checked since the late '60s .
Under the new zoning plan , each zone will have a population of about 44,000 .
The statute also says that federal census figures must be
used in for an accurate count, so the board will have to go
through the process again after the 1980 census statistics
are published.
• Approved the revised Affirmative Action Plan {see
related story, page 10).
• Recognized the Part-time Teachers ' Association as an
official bargaining unit (see related story, page 5).
• Accepted, with regret, the resignations of Nicola Foster
and Floris Mambourg. Foster is a Health and Physical

The current $1. 2 million cost of remodeling Lane Community College's Downtown
Center, expected to be completed by the
end of December, hasn 't affected
classroom use or enrollment , says Lyle
Swetland , administrator of the center.
Swetland emphasizes that the
classrooms are heavily scheduled both day
and night .

A student-operated alternative book exchange will soon be offered on campus .
The project is the brain-child of Dave
Anderson, an LCC student who ' ' got fedup with getting only 40 or 50 percent back
on used textbooks from the book store. ''
According to Anderson , the Book Exchange Board will be a bulletin board placed near tne library 's east entrance in the
Center Building. Students can list any
books they wish to exchange and the
books they need. Where the values of
books are disproportionate , individual verbal contracts between two students would
be negotiated to arrive at an equitable cash
difference .

Although the remodeling process has
been going on since last May, the inconvenience has not decreased enrollment.
Scheduled classes for Winter and Spring
Terms are full , says Hebert.
LCC moved into the downtown center
location in October of 1977. At that time
some remodeling was needed because the
center, which was previously the Montgomery Ward store , needed to be changed
into classrooms and offices , says
Swetland . The current remodeling is
necessary because the center needed the
added space created by the construction of
the third floor classrooms , says Facilities
and Service Director Paul Colvin .
Improvement on the lighting , heating
and air conditioning systems were also included in the remodeling process, adds
Colvin. Accessibility to the center for
disabled individuals, through the installation of the elevator and minor stair repairs
were also done .

Jack Carter. LCC dean of students. says
the program ·'should help stretch the student 's text-book dollars, especially when
there are more demands on those dollars
than it seems the dollar can provide." Barbra Harmon , LCC coordinator of veteran 's
affairs, adds , " Students could really
benefit if they utilize this kind of program ." Student participation will be the
real test of the program 's value , Anderson
says, and urges persons with used texts to
avail themselves of the Book Exchange
Board 's free service rather than returning
their used books for a partial cash refund.
"The Book Exchange way," Anderson explains, ''offers 100 percent return on your
text-book dollar. ' '

LCC student Neil Harnisch is $700 richer
after winning first prize in a national student communications competition.
Harnisch , a mass communications student, learned last week that he had won
the prize for his 30-second televis'on Public
Service Announcement dealing with the
problems of children placed in adult jails.
·''Getting national recognition is a thrill,''
says Harnisch. ' ' I hope it reflects back at
the college a little bit, because we have
some of the best broadcast facilities in the
state. ' '
The competition was sponsored by Community Research Forum of Champaign, Illinois, in conjunction with the Office of
Juvenile Justice. Broadcasting, graphics,
and journalism students were invited to
use ·their creativity to focus public attention

on the problems of children in jail .
Harnisch reports that 500 ,000 children
between the ages of 12 and 17 will be placed in adult jails this year, either because of
a lack of facilities, or because of overcrowding of existing facilities. Many of
them, he says , will never be charged or
convicted of any crime. Putting them in jail ,
he alleges, merely teaches them improved
ways to strike back at society.
In his prize-winning entry, Harnisch
stressed that putting children in jail
because there are no alternatives is not
justice.
Some of his prize money will be used to
further Harnisch' s broadcasting career. " I
would like to always keep my eye on using
the media to tell the public the needs of the
community," he reflects. "Public Service
Announcements give a good feeling . If you
can cut across the grain and make people
think, you're on the right track."

Three former LCC Mass Communication
students have succumbed to the lure of
owning a small-town newspaper.
The three joined with four partners to
purchase The Countryman, a Coburg
weekly previously owned and edited by
Bob Pierce.
The seven-way partnership is composed
of Mike McLain , 1975-76 TORCH editor;
his wife Karen, currently working in the
advertising and business departments of
the Oregon Daily Emerald; Chris Rofer,
former TORCH staffer and a U of O journalism graduate; John Payne , former LCC
broadcasting student with a bachelor 's
degree in journalism from Washington
State University; and the sister and
brother-in-law of Rofer, who reside in New
Mexico.
Saying he was " burned out " from the
effort required to produce the weekly,
Pierce announced in mid-February his
paper was for sale.

Pearl Heart: A 'Rose' by any other name still sounds sweet
Review by Carla Schwartz
of The TORCH

The rumor began to circulate on Saturday night about Pearl Harbor and the Explosions, an up-and-coming San
Francisco-based recording act. ''They' re
going to be at the Tavern on the Green,''
said a not-so-reliable source. '' I heard it on
the radio . Trust me. ' '
The source was right on one count (Pearl
was in town) and close on another (they
were from San Jose, 50 miles south of San
Francisco) . And the band was playing at
the Tavern on the Green.
So while the group may have been expected, the act that showed up was not . A
surprised and slightly shocked Eugene audience was greeted last Sunday night by
Pearl Heart and the Kozmic Blues Band,
the closest thing to Janis Joplin this side of
the grave.
Kozmic Blues Band guitarist Sam
Houston Andrew was one of the founding
members of Big Brother and the Holding
Co ., Joplin's back-up band. Andrew also
played with such notables as the Main
Squeeze , New Riders of the Purple Sage,
and Country Joe MacDonald. In fact, the
name for the character Houston Dyer in the
film The Rose, was taken from Andrew's
middle name . But the focal point of the
group is Pearl Heart himself. Yes,
'' himself.' '
Pearl Heart was recently seen in Bette
Midler 's The Rose . In the film, Heart plays
the role of a female impersonator who
mimics Midler 's character, a rock singer in

the sixties who more than slightly
resembles Joplin.
Though Heart now makes a living doing
Janis' tunes to perfection, he claims this
eerie visit from the dead is his natural voice
-- a voice he had been using long before he
had ever heard of Janis Joplin.
" I met Janis in 1966, " says Heart,
''when she picked me up hitch-hiking.
She was playing at the Avalon Ballroom (in
San Francisco). I didn't know who she
was, so I told her that I worked at the
Avalon Ballroom and could get her in for
free.'' When Joplin asked who was playing
there that night, Heart reached into his
pocket in search of a slip of paper he had
written the information on. "Some fat •
chick from Texas ," he said. "Janis
Joplin. "
Heart was both embarrassed and surprised when he learned that this "fat
chick" was Joplin herself. But the real
shock came when he realized that they
sang in precisely the same style . It wasn't
long before Heart began siging back-up for
Joplin 's band .
Heart claims he is not trying to cash in
on Joplin's image. "I've worked ..enough
years where it's not her trip, it 's mine.
Heart choreographed his number for The

Rose, but was a little disappointed in the
final product. "The movie itself is just an
excerpt of 'The Rose,"' he says. Heart's
scene took two days to choreograph and
six days to film. During that time , he had

the opportunity to get to know Bette
Midler. ' ' She was trying to portray not just
one character but three: Joplin, Midler and
me. " He jokingly says ," Midler couldn't

Affirmative Action promotes minorities
by Faith Falle
for The TORCH
Recruiting more women and minorities at
LCC is a major goal of the newly adopted
Affirmative Action Plan, according to Personnel Director Susan Nieminen.
The college had an affirmative action
plan prior to Jan. 9 when the policy was
approved by consensus at the Board of
Education meeting, but it was an informal
system which needed updating to comply
with federal and state regulations, says
Nieminen.

Nieminen and Frelix-Hart were the major
contributors in developing these
guidelines, taking months to research the

necessary requirements and adapt them to
LCC.
Accordingly, the general goals state that

Corrective measures, goals revised

• The hiring process begins when a
vacancy occurs, says Frelix-Hart. The Personnel Department sends out the
necessary forms and criteria to the department requesting a replacement. To insure
that proper hiring practices are followed,
the job descriptions are sent to the Personnel Department where they are checked for
accuracy, continues Frelix-Hart.

Some of the Affirmative Action goals and objectives, as approved during the April 9
LCC Board of Education meeting, are:

She added that ' ' affirmative action ' ' is a
process that first recognizes a problem in
recruitment or employment procedures,
and then takes the necessary steps to correct any discrepancy.

Condition: Of the 38 instructional administrative personnel, not one is a minority
employee.
Recommended corrective measures:
Intensify recruitment efforts for racial
minorities who are qualified or who have management potential.
Encourage racial minorities on staff to engage in management training/in-service
activities and make these opportunities available to these employees.
Give promotional preference to racial minorities in cases where qualifications are
nearly equal to top candidates.
Goal: As vacancies become available, efforts will be made to recruit and employ one
minority from the next five vacancies.

This is now reflected in the college's
general policy statement which says, ' ' It is
the policy of LCC to prohibit discrimination
against any student, employee , potential
student or applicant for employment
because of race, color, national origin,
religion , sex , age, marital status or handicap. The college recognizes an obligation
to develop and maintain procedures and
services that demonstrate sensitivity to the
need of all employees and students .''

Condition: Female employees are under represented in administrative positions (8
out of 38).
Recommended corrective measures: Encourage management training or in-service
for female employees with management potential.
Reduce or eliminate barriers to upward mobility faced by femate employees by
changing attitudes.
Give promotional preference to females in each case where qualifications are nearly
equal.
Goal: Promote or hire at least three qualified females to administrative positions out
of the next eight administrative position openings.

Someone powerful was needed to
oversee the entire plan -- someone who
had the authority to make sure it would be
carried out , says Employee Operations
Manager Vivian Frelix-Hart. That is why
President Eldon Schafer has been identified as the " official affirmative officer. " '
she added.

Condition: Several departments are comprised totally of Caucasian staff members.
Recommended corrective measures: Intensify recruitment efforts for racial
minorities.
Giving hiring preference to racial minorities where qualifications are nearly equal to
top candidates, or where job potential is apparent.
Intensify departmental goal requirements that racial minorities be more seriously
considered.
Goal: Increase the percentage of minorities among the faculty in the Office of Instruction by hiring two to three out of the next 1O vacancies.

In turn , each dean of instruction, operations, and student services will be responsible to the affirmative action officer to insure that the procedures are implemented.
Although Frelix-Hart admits it is difficult
to tell what immediate and specific effects
this plan will have on LCC, Nieminen reaffirms that ''the long-range goal of the plan
is to get more women and minorities in
non-traditional roles.''

LCC will ''establish and maintain employment levels for minorities, women and
other disadvantaged groups'' and
"continually strive to prevent discrimination in hiring, promotion, education and
training."

Letter

But the earliest primitive people of whom
we have any records were already in more
serious trouble than that. People do more
and want more than any wild animals
anywhere .

She adds that the Business Operations
Manual (BOM) outlines the specific hiring
procedures, which include advertising, the
screening process, interviewing, and
recommending top candidates to the college administration for selection.
• Nieminen added that the Personnel
Department sends out advertisements for
all jobs on campus and if no females or _
minorities apply, the position is re-opened
for another 1Odays.
• After the interviewing process is completed and a person is ultimately selected ,
the requesting department fills out a form
which explains what selection and screening process was used and why the top person was requested to be hired , continues
Frei ix-Hart.
Frelix-Hart makes it clear that even
though no discrimination problems have
occurred since the adoption of this plan, if
one does occur that department will be
notified immediately.

continued from page 2
. . .After people learned how to live
together in tribes, one tribe began to fight
against another. Sometimes a chief felt
uneasy because his government was weak
and the families in his tribe were quarreling
with each other too much. So he would try
to persuade them to start a war: War could
be useful to a chief. In the excitement of
preparing for battle, family quarrels were
forgotten and the people were more willing
to obey him.
The cost of warfare has been growing.

Guns, atomic bombs and guided missiles
have become so expensive that even in
peacetime our preparations for war are
costing over $600 a year for every man ,
woman and child.
In World War 11 whole cities were
destroyed; millions of homes bombed;
warehouses and stores full of food and
clothes burned; factories, railroads, mines
and oil wells ruined. The cost of replacing
them was so great that it cannot even be
. estimated. Another war, fought with atomic
bombs, would destroy a great deal more.

Within the next few years we may spend
a very large part of our money and work
getting ready for war, fighting a war (and)
repairing the damage afterward. Or we
might spend the same money and work
building schools, hospitals, bridges and
parks ... and making it possible for all the
poor, hungry people in the world to get
good homes, clean drinking water (and)
enough food. You can choose.
If you choose wrong, a war may bring an
atom bomb bursting like a man-made sun
much too close to you. . .
It may kill your mother or father or your
friend or you. If you survive, you may walk
among smoking heaps of brick and charred
wood trying to see where the streets used
to be ...
What are you going to do about this? In
what way can wars be stopped?
Let's not dream of an impossible
answer. Let's look at the world and see
how we can solve the problem without using force, and killing each other.
I wrote this essay tor my writing class, taught by
Joyce Salsbury. I learned a lot and I appreciate having
been in her class. I wanted to share this essay with
other students.

Competing in the previous week's QCCAA meet were Linn-Benton, Clackamas,
Mt. Hood, Central Oregon. Umpqua, Lane,
and Southwestern Oregon community colleges.
Of a possible. IS, LCC took six first places

Moran, Eeva Vedenoja, Loi Brumley, and
Anne O'Leary.
Other first-places included:
• 100-meter hurdles -- Loi Brumley
