So imagine how my heart leaped up to find a middle-aged lady on my doorstep the other evening holding fourth a red , white and blue cardboard container. "I see your porchlight's off," she said. "I assume, then, that you're taking part in our Mothers' March Against Inflation?" I hadn't heard about it," I said apologetically. ·'But it certainly does sound like a worthy cause." "Yes," she said, "we' re collecting money for the National Inflation Foundation. It will support a vast research program to find the cause and the cure for inflation." "That would be a wonderful boon to mankind," I said. "And womankind, too.'' "First, we're going to discover whether inflation is caused by an unbalanced budget, OPEC, the wage-price spiral or a filterable virus," she said . •'What about the cure?'' I asked. "There are several promising theories," she said. "The president says it involves pain, suffering and discipline, which sounds just a wee bit kinky. But sometimes he says we must tighten our belts and sometimes he says we must bite the bullet. We plan to determine which would be the most effective.'' ''How?'' ''With laboratory rats,'' she said. ''We'll have some bite bullets and some tighten their belts while undergoing pain, suffering and discipline." She extended her container. "How much would you like to contribute?'' hands. ''You're so devout you'll probably wish to join our giant Inflation Protest Crusade next Sunday in the park.'' ''What will you do?'' ''Oh, we'll sing inflation-fighting songs like, 'Brother, Can You Spare a 21.5 Percent Mortgage' or 'Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Depression.' Then we'll all burn our credit cards.'' "I' II be out of town, " I said. ••• But it's good to know there are those in our great land who are voluntarily fighting inflation. Her name, I discovered, is Mattie Warf, a sometimes resident of the Daffodil Dell Home for the Serene. As for the rest of us, I don't think we need worry about not selflessly tightening our belts and biting bullets. When our leaders talk about us gallantly making sacrifices, it generally means they' re planning to decide for us which ones we' re going to make. ©Chronicle Publishing Co. 1980 ••• "You can't lick inflation by throwing money at it," I told her defensively. "Maybe you're right," she said. "Maybe we'll cancel the network telethon, the national garage sale and the visit of the Inflation Poster Child to the White House. But the president says we all have to make sacrifices. Have you made your sacrifice today?" '' I just burned two lamb chops on the barbecue while praying for a rise in the wholesale price index of less than 22 percent.''

Bob Horton COPYSETTING : Mary McFadden To the editor: As a student here at Lane I find it very disturbing to hear some of our administrators say one thing, but dictate procedures in a much different manner. In the April 3 issue of The TORCH, P.E. Department Head Bob Radcliff was quoted as saying, ''We're meeting a student interest and need,'' referring to how LCC budgets money to give interested students the opportunity to compe1e . in athletics. College President Eldon Schaefer was also quoted as saying, '' A successful athletic program attracts students to the college bring in tuition and state support funds.'' That sounds good in print, but let's look at what is happening this spring. During the winter administrators from the Oregon community colleges got together and decided to limit track meet competition to 25 athletes. It's hard enough for coach Al Tarpenning to cover 19 events and two relays, but it's even harder for him to tell about 20 athletes each week that they can't compete because. of the limitations set. Most of us on the team came to school here because of Al's proven reputation of having a winning program. However, now that we have given our money to the college we are now told we can 't compete in all of our scheduled meets . It's very sad that our expectations have been shattered and that our interests and needs aren't being met, as they have been in the past. What really gripes me is that I have been training, as have my teammates, since September and now that we are physically primed for competition, we are not given the full opportunity to do so because of the poorly thought out and accepted plan to limit track meet competition to 25 athletes. For the remainder of the season, when I'm given the chance to compete I' II do so for Al Tarpenning and the other coaches on our fine track team who care about, unlike our administration, what the spirit of competition is about. Joel Thomas Gray LCC Student Involvement in ASLCC elections encouraged To the editor: I remember through junior high and high school when each year the student government elections came around. I always wanted to hold an office so very much; but, I felt unqualified and not confident enough to actually run. I think I missed out on several opportunities because of the former. The other day, I spoke with a current high school student government officer. She was greatly distressed because of the general apathy she has found in her constituents -- no one wants to get involved! I sympathize with her feelings, but, I know there are many people who want to run for offices and they only need a little prompting. ASLCC elections will be soon so I cordially invite all interested students to run .continued on page 4 The TORCH is published on Thursdays, September through June.

April 17 - B. 1980 The TORCH Page 3 Voters to decide LCC's financial future News analysis by Heidi Swillinger of The TORCH In the upcoming months, the future of LCC will rest on the ballots of Lane County's voters. The problem -- you guessed it -- is money. Or rather, lack of money. • This year, LCC is operating on a budget of roughly $20 million. Nearly one-third of that money is provided by local property taxes. The amount of property tax money LCC receives is determined by an established tax base approved by voters. According to the 1913 Oregon Constitution, the tax base can increase by only six percent every year. But inflation for 1980 is running about 13 to 14 percent. In the 1980-81 school year, the current tax base wi II provide LCC with $5.9 million. But due to high enrollment figures and inflation-eroded buying power, administrators say that tax base . is insufficient. The college needs $2 million more -- and fast. Higher taxes followed by a rebate There are two possible solutions. One is an increased tax base, a proposal that will go to the voters on May 20. If approved, the tax base will increase by $2 million, bringing it up to $7.9 for the 1980-81 school year. This means that property taxes will go up some. 32 percent. However, if the proposal passes, taxpayers will get some relief from the increased taxes in the form of a state program which provides up to a 30 percent rebate on the taxes of owner-occupied homes. So, if a home owner pays $100 (a ludicrous but simple amount) in taxes, $30 of it can be rebated" by the state. II An Alternative Stop-Gap Measure If the increased tax base proposal fails, LCC will have to turn to the other solution -- the "A" and B" ballots, to be voted on in a June 24 special election. The A" ballot is a tax levy of $1.6 million, which would also be eligible for the 30 percent relief. The'' B' • ballot is a levy of $338,879 that is not eligible for a rebate. (Together they add up to the $2 million deficit.) Under this measure, a home-owner paying $100 in taxes would receive 30 percent back on $96 (the ''A'' ballot amount, plus the current $5.9 million tax base amount). None of the remaining $4 (from the B" ballot)would be eligible for relief. Many voters have been confused by this multiple choice'' approach to tax levies. The options are: Approval of both "A" and "B" ballots, defeat of b-Oth ballots, or approval of only the larger "A" ballot. If the "B" ballot is approved and the ''A'' ballot defeated, the vote is not considered valid. Bert Dotson, the assistant to the college president, explains. "What it (the "A" and "B" ballot as opposed to the increased tax base) literally means to an owner of a $55,000 house is the difference of less than one dollar.'' Such an owner, he says, pays between $40 and $50 in taxes to LCC each year. Under the proposed tax base increase, that owner would pay $9. 53 more than this year. Under the "A" II II II II and "B" ballot. the owner wou Id pay $10. 36 more. Although the passage of either proposal would allow LCC to operate smoothly, the "A" and "B" measure would only serve as a stop-gap measure to get the college through I980-81.Voters would have to go to the polls again next year and approve a similar levy to keep LCC afloat. Passage of the increased tax base would keep voters home for at least two years because the tax base can only be increased in a primary or general election. But What If The Voters Say No? Although Dotson is confident that one of the two proposals will pass, ·'contingency plans·' have been made just in case. Almost 80 percent of LCC 's budget supports personnel. If neither measure is passed by the voters, classes will have to be cut and instructors and other staff members could be laid off. Enrollment would also have to be limited, closing LCC's "open door." Like a drowning person, LCC has three chances for rescue before it goes down. "We have May 20, which is the tax base," says Dotson. ''We have the (''A'' and '' B'' ballot on) June 24, and one in September.'' Another election that nobody is pessimistic enough to mention is a tax base increase scheduled for Nov. 4. Passage of that measure, however, would mean money for 1981-82, but none for next year. And no one wants to talk about that possibility. The man behind the painted smile Feature by Lucy White of The TORCH '' I have my little invisible dog following behind me wherever I go. His name? Why, 'Dawg,' of course!" The portly man laughs at his own joke. • But he's not joking around. Dawg" is an integral part of his act. So are gadgets in his pocket and brightly colored make-up. Wood-Man prefers to keep his everyday identity under wraps, although he admits he's an LCC performing arts student. He's been a professional clown for 25 years, starting out with skits performed in the retirement home he built, originally, for his parents. '·watch out fer the Dawg, please -, 'I used to put rouge and wigs on the little old ladies, and some of the little old men, too -- and would work out skits while talking with them.'· Now he uses many of the same skits and tricks on little kids and adults both. He's performed for church groups, Girl Scout gatherings, formal dinner parties, nightclubs, even as a warm-up for live bands. In fact, he slips into his alter-ego ''just about anywhere I go'' -- perhaps even in the ASLCC offices where he is a· student senator. When he's not a clown he looks like many other men in their 40s -- plaid jacket, grey slacks, short hair, and a protruding belly. But then there are certain anachronisms, such as the shiny tire air pressure gauge stuck amongst the multitude of ball point pens in his breast pocket. He just lets kids play with it -" It quiets more kids down when they're pitchin' a fit," he explains in his Kansas drawl. "See, it's got little dents in it from being dropped so much." And then there's a tape measure, also for placating pouty youngsters. ''This is something they'll get as much fun out of as any $20 toy. Sometimes I use it as a yoyo." Like Dawg, it's another conversation starter. When in costume "I'm exclusively a happy clown. The way I have my makeup on, I can be looking down, but my painted-on smile automatically lifts up." He specializes in red, white and blue, maybe for patriotic reasons, but also because "they seem to stand out more." He stops short of stars and stripes, however, substituting circles and darts to complete the design. "It takes about an hour to do. You have to use such precise lines it's not something to do with a shakey hand!" Though Wood-Man often performs on stage, he's a "mingling" clown at heart. '' I like to get right out into the crowd. First, I look around to see the kinds of expressions on the peoples' faces, and then I play it by ear (as far as skits are concerned.) I don't want to offend anyone." he says, although some of the material in his repertoire may be considered in bad taste by some segments of society. continued on page 8 11 mo,e The education business is booming -- but it's the taxpayers who foot the bill.

An FTE is a student, or several students combined, enrolled in 15 credit hours per term. '' Everybody who pays an income tax to the state is supporting any community college in that state," explains Dotson. Lane county residents would pay income taxes whether LCC were here or not, but because it is, "in essence," says Dotson, "we're paying money but we're 11 getting it back. Economist Howard Bowen reported in 1977 that the investment in higher education was $85 billion a year, or nearly the same amount spent for national defense. In 1979, Oregon's slice of educational pie came to $7.2 billion. The $22.8 million that LCC will spend in 1980-81 Money is like manure: It has to be spread around before it can do any good • Local property taxes are the second leg supporting the imaginary stool. For every . property tax dollar paid, LCC receives five cents. The rate of taxation in Lane County during 1980-81 will be $1.21 per $1 ,000 of assessed value. Dotson estimates that property tax money supplies close to 35 percent of the college's budget. • The 20 percent hole left over is filled up by tuition and fees students pay to attend LCC. Because roughly 3,500 LCC students receive financial aid in one form or another, some .of the tuition money is paid by the federal government, in the are mere crumbs in comparison. But, as "Hello Dolly's" heroine said, money is like manure: It has to be spread around before it can do any good. Bert Dotson, assistant to President Schafer, explains that the money LCC runs on pays for "papers and pencils and ink." It also pays the salaries of ~pproximately 750 permanent employees. Those employees, he says, go out and spend their salaries on groceries and the grocer then spends the money on rent. Eventually, the original $20 million has turned over approximately four times, bringing its impact on the community to $80 million. Money for LCC comes from what Dotson calls a "three-legged support." • One leg consists of state and federal reimbursement (income tax money) which makes up nearly half of the budget. The state awards some of its income tax money to the college based on the enrollment it generates .

Bob Hoffman, financial aid data entry specialist, explains that financial aid distributes about $3 million a year. By the time students have paid tuition and fees and bought books and supplies with their financial aid money, about $1.5 million has gone back into the school. According to Hoffman, a single, independent student at LCC needs $4,500 a year to live on. For reasons unknown, U of O students are told they can survive a year on only $3,900. Using those price. tags, it would be easy to figure out the cost of a college education: to go to LCC for two years would cost $9,000 and to attend the U of 0 for four years would cost $15,600.

And the main objective in LCC's Math Skills Fair held on campus Friday, April 11, was to encourage Eugene high school students to enroll in math and science courses when they attend college. According to Fast, students typically believe math is boring. But he feels this notion stems from the personalities of the teachers rather than the subject itself. ' ' Math classes can be extremely dull,'' declares Fast, because '' math teachers, to some extent are not very lively -- interesting.'' So , after observing a similar Math Skills Fair at Central Oregon Community College in Bend, Fast decided to establish a program that would be entertaining, challeng·ing, informative, while promoting enthusiasm for math and science. The fair, the first of its kind on the LCC campus , hosted eight high sch9ol teams with 11 members on each team. The schools included Junction City, the Grand Champion and winner of the team competition for Level I and Level 111 ; Elmira , winner of Level II: Crow; Harrisburg; and Oakridge High Schools . Spencer Butte Jr. High School won the team competition for Level I and Level II in the junior high school team competion. Oaklee Middle School and Kelly Jr. High School also participated. The program included Math Bee, Dartboard, Quiz, ci.nd Relay events, sometimes combining both athletic and math skills. The Math Bee was patterned after the old-fashioned spelling bee but incorporated the fundamentals of math instead of the fundamentals of the English language. The relay, held on the north lawn by the Performing Arts Building, was more exciting and attracted quite a few onlookers. Each team member was required to race across the lawn, complete a math problem accurately, and then run back to his or her post. Then the next member would repeat Charles Gray timed his graphic demonstration well -- on Tax Day, April 15, he urged his audience at the U of Oto resist paying "military taxes."

The biggest disappointment came when Lloyd Haynes , star of Room 222, failed to show up as scheduled . When word reached LCC that Haynes would be unable to attend the Math Skills Fair due to an accident, arrangements were made to call him at his residence in Los Angeles so a conversation could be transmitted during the assembly via telephone. But somehow there was a mix-up and Haynes called in the middle of the assembly. The persons in charge of the p-rogram decided not to interrupt the assembly. "He's an interesting fellow," says Fast, ·'and I wish he would have shown up today." • Applications now being accepted for 1980~81 TORCH EDITOR Obtain applications--which include questions requir- ing written (essay) responses--from Pete Peterson, ~.::::::::::::.r •·---- Faculty Adviser, room 205, Center Building, LCC,,~~:::::::i. .JJ::.~~ Main Campus. a;o:::::=:::::i.i Deadline: Monday Noon April 28, 1980 "'--"--..1Leave completed application with Mr. Peterson 205 Center Building.

The play, directed by Randi Douglas Young, is a drama about the Salem, Massachusetts witch-hunt and trials of 1692-93. First performed in New York in 1953, the play's parallels to the McCarthyism of that decade stirred up quite a controversy. Since then it has come to be regarded as an American classic. Two of the characters who refuse to con- fess to the false· charges of witchcraft are John Proctor and his wife, Elizabeth, played by Richard Scheeland and Christine Boyd in the LCC production. David Sherman has designed the set, and Gerard Griffin the lighting . The Crucible will be performed April 25, 26, 30 and May 1-3 at 8 p.m. in the LCC Theatre. Some reserved seats, at $4 each, are still available. The box office is open weekdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Student Expo new experience "It's the first time any community college has done anything like this,'' says Denali Editor Valerie Brooks of the upcoming Student Expo, slated for May 29. Any student wishing to display his or her achievements throughout the year at LCC will have the opportunity. '' Anything that - shows a student's accumulation of work done while at LCC can be part of it,'' says Brooks. "We hope to make it an annual event.'' On a first come, first served basis, students will be given space for booths, displays and performances. ''We want to have everything from poetry readings to gymnastics," she says. The Student Expo has already scheduled many varied diversions, including jugglers, a two-person play, an art display backed with music -- even a chess tournament. Brooks says that artisans may sell works they display at the Expo. Deadline for entering the Student Expo is May 2.

Page 10 The TORCH April 17 - t,, 1980 T,itans overpower rivals at tri-meet LCC women leave LCCmen runa..Aa'f with more victories opponents behind by Kent Gubrud of The TORCH by Kathy Johnson for The TORCH The sun wasn't the only thing shining last Friday as the Titan women radiated another win during the tri-meet held at Lane with competitors, South Western, and Linn-Benton community colleges. With personal bests from Eeva Vedenoja in the 400 meters (1:02.8), Cheryl Glasser in the 800 (2:34.3), and a national qualifying mark from newcomer Maria Urrita in the discus (134' 8"), Lane demolished its two opponents. From the start, the Titan women dominated the meet, eventually scoring 80 points to LBCC's 27 , and SWOCC's 17. "We were pleased with the women 's performance and we're looking forward to greater competition at the Mt. Hood (Community College) Relays this Saturday. The potential to improve each individual score is there but we need more competition to bring the best results,'' says Lyndell Grey, the Titans ' assistant track and field coach. Presently, the Titan women have cl qualified to enter 10 events in the nationals, including the 3,200-meter relay event. The NJCAA National Championships will g be held May 15-17 in San Angelo, Texas. 0 And if the Titans continue to do as well ~., ~~&~:;;;. as they have in the past, come May, the The Titan women thrashed both Linn Benton and Southwestern Community Colleges in the women may just strike oil in Texas. Tri-meet held at LCC last Friday. The Titan men overwhelmed their rivals, Linn-Benton and South Western community colleges, during a tri-meet held here, Friday , April II. The Titans captured 102 team points, LBCC 60, and SWOCC earned 24 . Titan Mike Eldridge took first place and led the 1-2-3 sweep in both the 400 intermediate hurdles and the IOO-meters . And his times of 53.8 (hurdles) and 10.4 (100 meters) qualified him to compete at the NJCAA National Championships coming up May 15-17 in San Angelo, Texas. Nathan Moreland took second place to Eldridge and also qualified for the nationals in the 100-meter event, clocking a time of 10.6. During last week 's meet, Moreland had already qualified in the 200-meter with a time of 21 .5. Other Titan men 's wins include: • Shot put -- Kerry Kopperman (44'9") • Javelin -- Tom Roggy (187'5 " ) • High jump -- Dave Basaw (5'10") • 400-meters -- Walt Hatch (49. 2) • 800-meters -- Fred Sproul (I :54) • 5,000-meters -- Rick Cleek (15 :15.7) • 400 Relay -- Eldridge, Hatch , Moreland and Ken Pressley (43.3) • Mile Relay -- Jeff Gunn, Tim Beatty, Jeff Harris and Dave Hills (3:28 .2) Other Titan men qualifying for the upcoming nationals include Fred Sproul who , in a earlier meet, ran a 3:51.8 in the 1500 meters and missed All-American Lynn Mayo's school record by just one second. Next weekend the Tiians travel to Gresham for their next competition, the Mt. Hood Relays, which is hosted by Mt. Hood Community College. 1 Moscow Games not in picture for US It's now official. The United States will not send a team to the Summer Olympics in Moscow. Meeting in Colorado Springs, ...... ~---' Colorado this past weekend the US Olympic Committee's House of Delegates voted• by a two to one margin to boycott the games. President Carter had called for the vote in an attempt, as Vice President Walter Mondale told the committee , to show "athletes, sports organizations and na- -~' The resolution passed included a back door escape clause indicating that the USOC would still be willing to send a team if, before the official cut-off date of May 20, Carter were to decide there has been a significant change in the international situation such as an unexpected Soviet pull-out of forces from Afghanistan. The USOC apparently wanted to leave open the remote possibility that President Carter might later change his position. The present policy determination is that sending a US team to compete in the Olympics would endanger national security. - . - -~,L;;:,- tional bodies around the world" that the US has taken the lead in what what the administration hopes will become a multinational boycott movement. The vote was 1604 in favor of the boycott and 797 opposed, with two delegates abstaining. Finding a place that gives good, dependable foreign auto repair can be tough.

Press Secretary Jody Powell issued a written statement to the press following the USOC vote, which said he had been authorized by the President to emphasise that there would not be any change of policy in the future, and that the public should interpret the USOC vote for boycott to mean there will be no Olympic competition for Americans this year. • The vote came as the climax of a weeklong intensified effort by the Carter administration to influence the _ USOC by threatening to take legal steps to prevent athletes from attempting to attend the Moscow Olympics. In turn about, some disgruntled Olympians feel the President does not have the constitutional authority to disallow passports for political purposes. They have vowed to institute legal action of their own against the administration. But time is running out -- any suit challenging the constitutionality of the decision would take too much time to offer relief before this summer's games. April 17 ---. 1980 The TORCH Page 11 Snowless skiing catches on by Dale Parkera of The TORCH Driving to work one morning, you see a skier flash by you on the freeway. Don't be alarmed -- it's no mirage. It's Roller Skiing, a new twist to an old sport. It combines the snowless convenience of roller skating with all the feel of cross country skiing left intact. The sport first came to Eugene "about three or four years ago,'' says Bruce Ronning, the area's leading expert on the subject. But the cost of the sport keeps the number of participants low. As Ronning puts it, "at $150 to $200 for equipment it is pretty much used exclusively by skiers who are in training for competition racing." This is no sport for the inexperienced skier, warns Bruce Ronning, pictured here during one of his practices: Competition speed skiers use the dry weather sport to train during the off-season. Kathy Rule, an LCC student, is one of what she describes as "only 15 or 20" people in this area who owns a pair of roller skies. ''The wheels are made of plastic similar to skateboard wheels, ' ' she explains, ' 'except they have a rubber 'tire' much like a wheel barrow.'' Roller skiers can use either specially adapted cross country poles or ones with a spring tip specially designed for the sport. According to Ronning, the tips are the crucial part. Regular poles used with snow skies use common steel alloy tips and, Men's and Women's Tennis Schedule, 1980 APRIL OPPONENT PLACE 19 Saturday 21 Monday 23 Wednesday 25 Friday 26 Saturday Umpqua Blue Mt.

Hood Central Oregon TBA ''even case-hardened steel tips last only 10 minutes on concrete." Roller ski poles use carbide steel tips which Ronning says "cost only about $3 each and last pretty much all summer." There are only three wheels instead of the expected four to each ski, two in the rear and one up front which will only roll forward , ''so the skier can't slip back. It's just like waxed or non-waxed skies in that respect,'' Ronning points out. Ronning warns the sport isn't for the inexperienced skier: "These are not toys , but a training device for the serious minded skier. It requires a high level of technique even tor the comparatively expenencea snow skier and there is the inevitable adjustment period to consider as well. ' ' A point worth remembering is that the possibility of injury is always a lot greater on asphalt than on relatively soft snow. And the popular roller ski trails -- in parks and along the bike paths -- are almost all asphalt. One path •used by roller skiers runs parallel to Interstate 5 South just before the LCC exit. For the still half-asleep motorist , that first glimpse of someone roller skiing by can be quite an eye-opening experience. !****************************'k,lt****************l • : •• f •• • • The ASLCC Announces : •• 1980-81 f • •• i•• ELECTIONS i•• •• • ••• •• i• •:: •: : : : •• • : ! ! ! !. .•• • ! !
