Fight inflation -- give ti 11 if hurts
Cynic that I am, I thought everyone was complaining about inflation but no one was doing anything about it. 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.

"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.''
"My, that's a sacrifice," she said, clapping her

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.

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

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

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.

student) it claims. 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

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

Money is like manure:

• 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 .
The state gives about $1000 to the

"The fact is," professes Casey Fast, an
LCC math instructor, '' if you have a strong
math and science background coming
fresh out of college, you are going to nail
down a job that pays you five to ten thousand dollars more a year."
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

the exercise. The process continued until
time ran out.
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 then, as a flagman who escorted
mobile homes in a patrol car. The latter job
required the use of a CB radio, and
"Wood-Man" was the "handle" he
chose. "I was going to be •Uncle Ray the
Clown,' but by then I was known across
the US as Wood-Man, and the name just
stuck!
"I work from my heart out. If I wasn't

people (in this business).' '
And, according to Wood-Man, that love
is reciprocated.
"I've had people come up to me, and
put their arms around my shoulder or give
my neck a hug -- that wouldn 't be nearly
as outgoing and friendly when I'm my
regular self. Everyone loves a clown. "

'The Crucible' to conclude
regular LCC theater season
1

Arthur Miller's The Crucible opens Friday, April 25 at the LCC Theatre. 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. For more information regarding the
co-sponsored Denali, ASLCC event, contact Shannon Jaeger at 2330 or Room 479
of the Center Building.

T,itans overpower rivals at tri-meet
LCC women leave

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

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.

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.

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.

But White House officials were quick to
shatter even that small glimmer of hope for
American athletes. 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.

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,

''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.
