Use the right .

to complain

To the Editor:
As we rapidly approach the upcoming presidential election in
November it is imperative that all
Americans take the time to confront the issues that face us all.
Underlying all issues is a most

basic fact. The electoral process
depends on us. If we do not vote
this process ceases to work. And
the very concept of Democracy
becomes meaningless.
If we, as citizens, do not carry
on a discussion, if we do not participate in a debate of ideas and
opinions, if we do not make our
voices heard at the polling place
we will lose the right to do so.
Our civil and human rights, as
embodied in the Bill of Rights,
have meaning and value only if
we believe in them and express·
them. Do not abdicate your hard
earned position of privilege and
responsibility. That of citizen of
this nation, this most successful
of experiments in democracy.
If we as citizens do not make
our voices clearly heard we are
letting the few, the powerful, the
rich make our decisions for us.
You can be sure that these few
are ,not making these decisions in
our interest.
Therefore, we must make the
decisions. A very small, but very
rich and vocal minority makes us
believe that they are the majority.
But this is far from the truth. Yet
they have the financial resources
for easy access to the media. We
do not.
However this doesn't change
the fact that the majority, the vast
majority, of people in this country
are progressive, intelligent,
forward-thinking people.
Please, take part! If you don't
want your decisions made for
you, by a tiny minority acting only
from their own narrow perspective, you will have to speak out, to
take part.
Our electoral system can, and
will work, in the interest of us all.
And we must make it work.
Preserve your right to complain
after the election, VOTE. Thank
you,

Reagan 11ot
anti - ·women
To the Editor:
Some people are disturbed

because Reagan doesn't favor
E.R.A.(Equal Rights Amendment). Because of this some people feel he might be against equal
rights and fair treatment for
women -- but this certainly isn't
the case.
Though Reagan has chosen not
to support the ultra-vague ERA
this doesn't mean he opposes
women's rights. He just feels that
the enactment of ERA wouldn't
accomplish anything advantageou.s for women. I tend to
agree that if ERA were ratified it
would probably do more harm
than good -- depending on how
some future court decided to interpret the amendment to fit its
own biased viewpoint on some
issue.
I realize that readers who favor
ERA might not agree with this and
may still have doubts about
Reagan's committment to help
women gain equality after he's
elected. In reality, Reagan is firmly committed to equal rights for
women -- on the job and
everywhere else.
Now let's analyze Carter's
record concerning women. Carter
claims to support equal opportunities for women but his
economic policies have thrown
millions out of work. Just
remember that a high percentage
of the people who've lost their
jobs are women who only recently
had the opportunity to join the job
market on an equal footing with
those who have traditionally been
able to get good jobs. Actuatly
ter has only given women the
Car_
equal opportunity to be
unemployed while Reagan's
policies could probably
strengthen our economy and in
turn help everybody regardless of
their sex or race.
Our ecoflomy must improve or
women will never get the chance
to advance. People who favor
women getting the chance to attain their highest potential, as I
do, should realize that Reagan is
the best candidate for them to
vote for -- whether they be ERA
supporters or not.
Shari L. Van Leuven

Carter used
smear tactics
To the Editor:
I'm surprised that many people
are shocked and or upset with
Carter's campaign tactics this
year. What I'm referring to is his
personal, somewhat underhanded attacks on ·K-ennedy earlier this
year and his recent lies and
slanders against Ronald Reagan.
Carter has never been one to shy
away from smearing a candidate
whether a Democrat or
Republican.
After all, Carter's campaign for
Georgia's governorship in 1970
was considered one of the dirtiest
in the state's history. He ran on a
platform based on racism, smear
tactics·, and the like. One such
action was the distribution of a
snapshot showing his opponent
(Carl Sanders) celebrating a
ba_sketball victory with a black
athlete. Wonder how such a
snapshot could help Carter? It
helped his campaign when these
leaflets were anonymously mailed
to residents in strongly racist
parts of Georgia. This is how it
helped.
Columnist George F. Will
elaborated on this incident in an
article entitled ''The President
smears Reagan" (R. G. Sept. 21).
He stated ''When Carter
'discovered' the leaflet, he
neither stopped distribution nor
apologized.'' And Carter has the
gall to label Reagan a racist!
Carter's press staff has done a
fine job in covering up many other
instances of racism and ''dirty
pooI ••• committed by Carter
throughout the years. I have mentioned only one, out of many of a
long list of examples.
Many feel Carter is a good,
honest man -- these people obviously don't know much about
him. After all, Carter only has to
be wholesome on Sunday and on
paid television commercials. In
real life, his '' Mr. Nice Guy'' image turns out to be " -- just an
image.

Homegrown economics - harvest of gold
by Jeff Saint
oflhe TORCH

"Last year some (Oregon sinsimelia) buds I was selling went
for $70 an ounce. Meanwhile, the
people I was working for, trimming buds, were selling it back
East for $140 to $160 an ounce.
Very little of that money stayed in
this area and probably zero of it

Last year, Bud's operation was

should bring bigger returns.
Though the patch is relatively
small -- about 30 plants -- Bud
hopes to see a $3,000 return for
his efforts. (Thirty ounces at
$100 an ounce equals $3,000.)
He emphasizes it has not been all

Bud reminded me to stay near the
tree line so the loggers on the

It gets tense in October. In the
last couple of months Bud hasn't
wanted any cars within two miles
of his patch, and feels lucky he
hasn •t been seen there in the
same car more than once. Now,
as the buds are getting full and
the harvest is only a few weeks
away, he's more anxious than
ever. The hunters are near. So
are the deer.

it was another thing that you did
to be a part of one group of people
as opposed to being associated
with another group of people. You
grew long hair and smoked dope
as part of your costume or
uniform of this group as opposed
to the white picket fence and station wagon of the other group.
'' Now the people with the white
picket fence have pot, too. There
are very few households you walk
into anymore where there isn't
evidence that somebody in that
household smokes marijuana.''
Indeed, a lot of people seem to
be smoking pot these days. One
reason could be that the maximum penalty for possession of
under one ounce of marijuana in
Oregon is a $100 fine. There is no
jail s_entence. But after an ounce,
the penalties become much harsher.
According to the Lane County
District Attorney's office, the
penalty for possession of over an
ounce is considered a Class B
felony, punishable by imprisonment for up to 10 years and a
$2,500 fine.

Measure 9 on November ticket

''I WOULDN'T SHOOT
ANYBODY OVER POT''

by Jeff Saint
of The TORCH

"The first objective of
everybody is notto be put in jail.
If they tried to get me I'd run. I'd
try to get away from the scene.
For one thing there's no way I can
be snuck up on in my patch, I can
see or hear anybody coming. I
have some survival stuff -emergency stuff -- stashed in the
woods where I could get to it and
stay there for a cou pie of days.
That's about all I could do: To
react in a violent way would be
reacting to their blindness.''
But Bud wouldn't stop growing
pot if agents took his patch. '' It
would be just one more lesson I'd
learn: to be that much more
careful the next time."
The police aren't the only people who might keep Bud from
reaping his harvest. Anyone who
finds the patch, could ruin
everything.
'' I have friends whose patch
was discovered by two Forest
Service people: They want some
at the end of the year. . . that's
how it was left. The pot is still
growing and the Forest Service
people will get some at the end of
the year for not turning them in or
ripping it off." Bud alleges.
''That happens a lot. It's like
your first ·o1fer. You say , 'Hey,
that's a pretty good job, you
found my patch and I thought
nobody could . I'll give you some
buds at the end of the year if you
let it go to maturity,' because a lot
of people would steal the plants
right then, and that 's nothing
compared to what they' II get if
they wait . That way they get just
as much and the grower still gets
most of the harvest.
' ' At first I was thinking of hav-

In a conversation with Joe Wilson of PEACE (People Effectively
Appealing for Cannabis Equality), hypothetical figures concerning pot use in Lane County were brought out.
Assuming that 25 percent (the national average) of the people
in Lane County use marijuana, about 60,000 here smoke dope.
Perhaps 30,000 are regular users.
If 30,000 people consume one ounce of weed a month and pay
$40 an ounce for it, then regular users alone in Lane County
spend $14,400,000 on 12,800 pounds of grass each year.

•••••

PEACE is attempting to pass Ballot Measure 9 on the
November 4 election ticket. It would lower the priority of marajuana arrests.
According to PEACE, if the ordinance passes, Lane County
Commissioners will cut off all funds to be used for arresting
adults non-commercially using or growing five or less plants in
their own home. Furthermore, the District Attorney would not
have the funds to prosecute.
PEACE claims that in the last year there were more arrests for
marijuana in this county than for rape, robbery and murder combined. There were also more arrests for pot in Lane County than
in Multnomah County, they say.
Jim Hunt of the Lane County D.A. 's office commented that
"75-80 percent of those arrests were probably of the 'traffic

Music classes change titles
by Sarah Brown
of The TORCH
Unless word gets out , there
may be some drastic cutbacks in
the Perfoming Arts · Department
after this Friday.
Due to a mandatory change in
all community college catalogs ,
the department is losing valuable
student enrollment in many of its
beginning music courses.
The State Department·ofEducation issued a policy change last
spring stating that ' 'all community colleges will standardize their
course titles , numbers and
prefixes .''
At a statewide community college meeting hosted by LCC, the
schools began the process of doing just that. But not without
some controversy .
'' Lots of colleges fought
vehemently to retain their old
course names , ' ' states Perform-

ing Arts Department Head , Ed
Ragozzino. •'So in a spirit of cooperation , we compromised. ' '
That compromise had some unforseen consequences. For example, instead of "Basic Voice,"
the colleges voted to rename the
course "Group Voice . " The
result of that switch is a drop in
· course enrollment of almost 45
percent .
Ragozzino believes the semantic change has confused a lot of
students. " Students don't know
if this is a course to learn how to
sing as a group or individually. If
a student wants solo experience ,
s/ he doesn't sign up for that
class, not realizing that it is a solo
class .' '
The voice class is only one example. In addition to the problem
of the name change , no new
catalogs were issued with the
new titles and course numbers
listed. Many people thought that

the classes had been cancelled
altogether.
'' Unless the enrollment increases to standard level by this
Friday (Oct. 10), those classes
that are under-enrolled will have
to be cancelled for the term, "
says Ragozzino. "And if the
situation doesn't improve considerably , some of our part-time
teachers will have to be let go. I
would really hate to see that happen since those teachers add
strength and diversity to the
department. ''
In order to expedite the enrollment process , the Department
has add/ drop cards available that
are already stamped and signed .
Any student wishing to add a
music course to his/her schedule
should contact the Performing
Arts Department by Oct. 9 at the
latest.

Controversy rises over
funding for disabled
by Mara Math
of The TORCH
A dozen other people crammed
into the Center Building elevator,
going up. On the second floor, the
door opened to another
wheelchair rider. No one moved
to get out. ''Catch you on the way
back, fella, '' one of the students
called out.
The second wheelchair rider
was left staring at the sign stating
''Wheelchairs have priority on
this elevator. ''
"There 's more to this than
money,'' Bjo Ashwill points out,
discussing PL 94-142. "We're
talking about human dignity and
human rights. ' '
Public Law 94-142 is an educational bill of rights for the disabled
which took effect in 1977. It
guarantees the disqbled free and
appropriate education, and holds
local school systems responsible
for providing that education.
But with any progressive
legislation , there is backlash.
Three years after being put into
effect , the law is still controversial , for though it makes a crucial
difference to the quality of life of
the disabled , critics claim that
this minority group is getting a
•' disproportionate share '' of
public school resources.
'' There 's a heck of a lot of time
being taken away from normal
kids," said one Lane County
School principal in a September
Eugene Register-Guard article.
And the Register-Guard itself
stated, •'The sudden shift of such
burdens to schools is a national
problem." (emphasis added)
Ashwell, LCC 's counselor for
the disabled , believes that many
of the difficulties in implementing
PL 94-142 stem from the attitudes of those involved; attitudes exemplified in the
preceding newspaper quotes.
"It's absolutely true that the
schools weren 't given enough
money to carry this out, but the
biggest problem is the stereotyping that says that the disabled are
going to be so extremely difficult
to deal with. It's often fear of the
unknown ... "
Supported by PL 94-142 ,
Darlene Gardner recently won a
major decision forcing the
Reedsport School District to pay
for her mentally retarded child's
education in Coos Bay , when his
own Reedsport schools proved to
have an inadequate educational
program for him .
Tuition and transportation for
John Gardner are costing

Reedsport about twice the expenditure for a '· normal '' child , and
the Reedsport School District attorney resents it . With some
retarded children, says William
Hewes, in the recent RegisterGuard story , only limited progress
can be made no matter how much
money is spent. "Economically,
you reach a point of diminishing
returns.''
''To deny anyone the right to
reach their potential,' ' responds
Ashwill, "is absolutely wrong.
We have the right to learn, the
right to personal growth.''
At LCC , bringing the school up
to regulation has included the installation of automatic door
openers , the lowering of door

Most of the current funding for
the disabled is actually ·'catch-up
money ," similar to that spent on
other minorities whom the courts
have said deserve a quick
response now to generations of
neglect.
Ashwill, LCC's counselor for
the disabled, believes that many
discriminated against. A lot of
money is now being spent to correct wrongs that have held us
back so far. Once a ramp is built,
it doesn't have to be built again ;
once a system is set up, the cost
will not be nearly as great. ' '
Ashwill estimates that LCC's
percentage of disabled students
is close to the national average or
10 percent. " We'd like to remind
people that we (the disabled) call
others 'TABs ' -- Temporarily

"We are the only _minority that

Energy management program offered
by Kent Gubrud
of The TORCH

Energy crisis? What energy
crisis? Pouring through every
house window in Eugene is plenty
of energy, free for the taking. Or
so says Allen Gubrud, coordinator
of LCC' s new Energy Management Programs.
It's called solar energy. And
this year 35 students will study
its uses along with many other
energy sources in two new LCC

Students in the program will be
trained for a specific job -- to go
into a home and determine how
much energy the house is
wasting, from where, and how
much it would cost to remedy the
situation.
'' Essentially s/he (the trained
student) is a salesman, trying to
sell energy conservation." says
Gubrud.
The Energy Management
Technician Program runs for two
years and offers an Associate of

programs titled the Energy
Management Technician Program
and the Residential Energy
Analyst Program .
The one year Residential
Analyst Program offers a certificate upon completion. The program was founded when a new
federal law was passed requiring
all utility companies over a certain
size to offer their customers a
home energy analysis service.

Science degree upon completion.
The program, says Gubrud "is
unique in the sense of the options
it offers. ' '
Besides classes offering
general courses on energy and its
functions, the Technician Program has various branches that
enable a student to develop
his/her own individual program.
In total, there are four main
branches an Energy Technician
student may choose to follow: the

Students air news show
by Paula Case
of The TORCH

'' Lights, camera, action!'' is the cry of producer Jackie Coy of ''The
Thursday Report,'' a 15 minute weekly news program put on by LCC
students.
Two classes, TV Production Crew and Public Affairs for Television,
work together to air the program. Each class plays a different role in
the production of the news show.
The classes have chosen two women, Jane Quigley and Barbara
Albritton, to act as anchor persons. The role of producer will rotate
each week so ··each student will have a chance to be producer,'' says
Mike Hopkinson, advisor.
Video inserts will be used to cover off-campus activities. '' It's the
closest thing to simulating a professional stations, ' ' states Hopkinson.
Thursday , Oct. 8 is airtime for the first broadcast shown at 4 p.m. on
KOZY cable 11. Be sure to tune in!

Business Program, the Drafting
Program, the Solar-Construction
Program, and the Technical Program. Besides taking the various
energy-related courses such as
Energy Technology and Solar
Fundamentals, students are required to take 36 credit hours of
specialized classes in one of the
above areas.
These specialized classes allow
students to explore their
desired field more closely. In addition, many of the programs provide students with hands-ontraining in their specialized areas.
For example, in the past two
years, students in the solarconstruction classes have built
two solar houses and are presently working on a third.
The houses, says Jim Lawson,
coordinator of the solarconstruction classes, allow
students to not only grasp the
theory behind constructing a
solar house but also the chance to
put the learning into practice.
'' Many of these students have
never seen a hammer,' ' says
Lawson.
But by the time the house is
finished, the students have done
everything from framing to solving the many technical problems
uncovered in putting together
something as rare and complex as
a solar house.
Lawson admits that having 30
inexperienced builders working
un different phases of the house
•at the same time has its problems. But, he says, ' ' If you
don't make mistakes, you don 't
learn. ' '
The last house built by the construction class, in Springfield,
was a sort of technological
marvel. It included many features
found in few newly constructed
solar houses, such as a Swedish
dry compost toilet. This type of
toilet requires no water. Instead
of flushing the "waste" away,
the toilet uses ultraviolet light to
literally burn the material into
ash. This ash i? a useful fertilizer
which may be sprinkled on
houseplants or the garden.
Another unusual feature of the
house was the recycled water
system. The system recovers the
water which normally goes down
the drain from the bathtub or
sink, and returns it to a storage
tank where it is filtered and ready
to use for watering the lawn or for
the greenhouse which is attached
to the house.
The house was designed and
built to accomodate a disabled
person. It is of a hybrid design,
meaning that the house utilizes
both an active and passive solar
design.
An active solar system is the
system most people associate

.with a solar house. It uses solar
panels on the roof to heat up
water and to produce electricity
which can be stored in batteries
for future use.
The passive designed solar
house may use less sophisticated
methods to collect the sun's
energy, such as a simple rock
heat storage system known as a
Trombel wall. The Trombel wall,
which was used in the LCC Springfield solar house, is nothing
more than a rock wall connected
to the house with good exposur_e
to the sun. The rocks absorb the
sun's rays and, over a period of
time, release the heat energy into
the house. In the Springfield
home, the heated wall was also
placed near the hot water heater
so it could add its extra assitance
in heating water whenever possible.
Another similar method of solar
heat utilization used in the Springfield home was a solar
greenhouse . Given the . solar
nature of ordinary glass (glass
allows heat inducing radioactive
rays to penetrate but does not
allow the consequentley heated
air to escape) the solar
greenhouse captures and
distributes the heat, a substantial
amount, throughout the house . It
also provides a useful space to
grow plants or food.
As a backup , there is also a
regular electric water heater and
heating system for those times
when the Oregon sun does not
show its shine enough to meet the
household's entire needs.
While the LCC solar house currently being built in Eugene (492
53rd St.) does not have many of
the unusual features of the Springfield home, such as the waterrecovery system or the composttoilet, it is situated on a wooded
lot in the southeast hills. The 3
bedroom house, which is being
built on a $65,000 budget, also
features a stained glass window
looking down from the master
bedroom into the living room
(which has a 20 foot cathedral
ceiling).
The house is of active design,
using solar panels on the roof and
a greenhouse built onto the
master bedroom .
Currently, the students are
constructing everything legally
possible.
''We feel the student should be
exposed to all aspects of house
construction ,' ' says Lawson.
This does not include, however,
installing the plumbing and electricity because of current laws requiring licensed technicians to do
those jobs.
Eventually Lawson hopes to get
the entire school involved in the
solar house project instead of just

=Cllltnsuran•
LOWCOST

the construction class, including
the Electronics Department to
design and build the heating
system, the Home Education
Departmerrt to decorate the
house, and the Science Department to monitor the house for
moisture content and heat loss
after the house is completed.
While explaining the various
technological wonders of the
nearly two-thirds completed solar
house, Lawson can't help but
show some of the pride he has for
what his class is doing.
''We feel the quality is much
better than the normal
market(ed)" house. "We're innovative as hell" he asserts with
a smile.
After the expected January
complietion, LCC plans to sell the
house to a private owner for approximately $120,000 dollars.
Within the selling contract will be
the stipulation that the school can
monitor the house for the following year, says Lawson.
He doesn 't expect to have any
trouble getting the desired
amount. In fact, he admitted , a
private owner has already expressed interest in buying the
house. But unfortunately , says
Lawson , the school cannot sell
until the house is completed and
publicly advertised.
Gubrud feels these new Energy
Programs offer students a lot of
experience and freedom in
designing coursework leading up
to their desired goals.
" As far as I know, it 's (LCC)
the only (college) of its kind in the
country where you have these options .''

Energy Programs can be obtained

Story by Mara M,

"If you're going to .... tango, you're going to have to
pay."
''What we're talking about is a moral, ethical, religious
issue and you are attempting to impose your morality on the
rest of us. "
The issue was abortion. The speakers, respectively were
Doris Storms, representing Right to Life, an anti-abortion
group, and Laura Arbeitman of the NationaJ Abortion Rights
Action League (NARAL), on a panel opening Women's Day
,
at LCC.
Margie Hendriksen, Democrat running for State
Representative, also spoke for the pro-choice side, and Debbie Edwards tor the anti-abortion side.
The panel participants, perhaps subconsciously, sorted
themselves out so that the pro-choice representatives sat on
the left of the stage, and those from the anti-abortion viewpoint sat on the right.
The audience of about 50 was predominatly female, and
very vocal. Many issues were raised and few resolved; the
adrenaline level was high in both audience and panel
members. Storms shook her head condescendingly when
Arbeitman said that anti-abortion groups were trying to end
the separation of church and state; Arbeitman stamped her
foot in anger when Storms said that women who wanted sex
without marriage would have to pay the consequences by
bearing children.
"I'm an adopted child," said one man, "and I thank God
my natural parents had the grace and decency not to abort
me.''
"I have one child already; I'm single and going to school.
If I got pregnant and couldn't have an abortion, I couldn't be
here. I'd have to go back on welfare. You say you (Right to
Life) will pay the medical expenses of birth, bu-t who'll pay
the bills after that?"
Issues covered included the economics of child-rearing,
the question of when a fertilized ovum can be considered to
be a human life, the right of women to control their own
bodies, child abuse as a result of unwanted pregnancy, the
medical safety of abortion procedures, and the financial
backing each side had. To charges that anti-abortion groups
are guilt-tripping women, Storms responded, "We're not
talking about murder, we're· talking about killing."
Each side challenged the other side's statistics, but the
assertions and refutations seemed to have little effect on the
audience. Most people seemed to have come with their
minds already made up, and were there primarily to lend
support to their own viewpoint.

Why a Women's Day at LCC? Grace Ca
of the Oregon Women's Political Caucw
Student Records), explains: "Even at U
deal of attention has been paid to sex ,
women are over half of the student pop,
those are enough reasons right there -important. It's still important to bring att
issues, it's still important for women at L
options open to us.''
As a start on exploring available optioI

Kali's, a collective Feminist bookstore, 2
another women-owned bookstore, Displa

LCC coach design s 'sit down' business
by Dan Holden
of The TORCH
LCC track coach Harlon Yriarte
was one of many disgrunted
Olympic Trials spectators last
summer. He was upset with
President Jimmy Carter's decision to boycott the Moscow
games .
'' My butt was tired and my
buddy's butt was tired and the
trials just weren't as exciting as
four years ago," said Yriarte.
He and his friend began to
brainstorm on ways to enliven the
otherwise boring trials.
''We picked up the Olympic
Trials program with Jimmy
Carter's picture on it and read the
message to the athletes. We
thought it was a real slam," he
said sternly.
Suddenly it came to him!
Why not design a seat cushion
with Jimmy's face right on the top
-- right where the spectator sits?
The idea seemed too perfect.
But the trials were already under
way.
The thing to remember at this
point is that Yriarte is a track
coach. Speed is his middle name.
Yriarte contacted a local rubber
wholesale company the next day.
He ordered 1,000 12" by 12 " by
1'' thick sections.
Then he contacted an art
teacher friend to organize the silk

But the U of O swim coach did

to sell the cushions and divide the

cents for each cushion -- not a
bad deal for the financially starving athletic unit.

Six threatens maior cutbacks
by George Wagner
of The TORCH

A woman steps up to the podium. '' It gives me great honor,'' she
announces, "to present to you at this time ... the future President of
the United States!"
The announcement Is greeted with strong applause and scattered
laughter.
Stepping up to the podium, the grey-haired candidate gazes out over
the crowd of about 400 who gathered at MacArthur Court Saturday
afternoon to hear him speak.
"All I can say is I'm glad the future is a long time." he counters.
The dry remark sparks another wave of laughter.
Within the first five minutes, Barry Commoner, environmentalist,
author and educator, distinguishes himself as somewhat of an oddity in
the race for the Presidency.
Does the 63 year old Commoner, along with his Vice-Presidential
running mate, LaDonna Harris, really expect to occupy the White
House in 1981? No. But Commoner and his supporters are looking
toward the future.
For an election in which over half of all registered voters will never
make it to the polls, the Citezen •s Party believes the time is right to offer the American people some other choices .
And if Commoner and Harris can obtain only 5' percent of the total
November vote, the Citizen's Party (on whose platform Commoner and
Harris are running) will then qualify for Federal government funding for
the next four years.
One of the party's main thrusts is that " ... people (should) come
before profit."
··All the problems we face as a nation derive from a fundamental
fau It in the structure of the American economy," asserts Commoner.
He feels that too many important political and economical decisions are
made under " .. .the sole intent of maximizing corporate profit."
Most people now realize that the Republicans and Democrats have
nothing useful to tell us.'' says Commoner. ''The Citizens Party offers
the alternative.''
But what type of alternative?
•Military -- Commoner was quoted in a July 28 edition of the Register
Guard as saying, "(military spending) is cutting sharply into investment in a productive economy .'' Commoner feels the saved dollars can
be put to better use in other places.
•Foreign Policy -- Commoner takes a hard line attitude toward current
American foreign policy, calling it "aggressive, bullying, and interventionalist." "We are a peace party."
•Energy -- Commoner is strongly anti-nuclear and believes that this
country can realisticly convert to renewable resources such as solar
energy and alchohol fuels.
•Transportation -- He feels that America's dying railroad system must
be brought up to standards of quality service (an area where other
countries outdo us completely, according to his statistics.) even if it
operates at a loss. Commoner says a trimmed military budget could
supply some of the needed funds.

Disenchantment with heavy
taxes has produced a new offspring, Ballot Measure 6. This
measure, proposed by the
Taxpayers Union, would go
way beyond the reforms which
were introduced last May.
Last May, a legislative
referendum provided Oregonians with a 30 percent savings in property taxes . This
reduced
referendum
homeowner taxes and provided equivalent relief for renters.
It set limits on state expenditures and on the government's ability to increase property assessment. It also
reduced personal income
taxes . This referendum was
intended to be a step towards
assuring a more responsible ,
less wasteful government
policy .
Some Oregonians, however,
think taxes should be cut even
more. Proposed on the Nov. 4
election is a new measure,
Ballot Measure 6, which is a
sister bill to California's Proposition 13.
Ballot Measure 6 would
reduce the true cash value of
all assessed property in
Oregon to its 1977 level and
would set a limit on property
value assessment to an increase of only 2 percent per
year.
Furthermore, the measure
would limit the rate of real property taxes .to only 1 percent of
the assessed value. New construction also would be
assessed on a presumed 1977
tax. Districts (which provide
fire, police, ambulance,
paramedic and other emergen-

cy services) wou Id not be
allowed to reduce these services unless other items had
first been reduced to twothirds of their 1977 level. The
bill would make it necessary
for an approval of two-thirds of
the legislature or voters before
funds could be made available
for a service.
Opponents to this measure
contend that it not only cuts
out the fat but a good portion
of the meat. In rolling back
property values to the 1977
level while allowing a 2 percent growth factor per year
with only a maximum of 1 percent of this assessed value
which can be collected in a
tax, disastrous results are inevitable.
Presently inflation is up 39
percent from 1977. By the
time the next budgets are
prepared in July 1981, inflation is predicted to be up to 52
percent. This means the
revenues will actually diminish
from budget to budget.
If Ballot Measure 6 passes,
many, services will be immediately devastated.
• The veterans home and farm
loan program is limited by the
Oregon constitution to a sale of
only 8 percent of the assessed
or ''true cash value.·· If this is
cut back to the 1977 level it
will mean that at least 150,000
Oregon families who are eligible for these loans will not get
them.
•Also hard hit by the bill will
be the energy and resources
development programs. Ballot
Measure 6 eliminates bond
sales which are , the main
source of funding for these
services. Another service

which will be seriously damaged is public, education.
What does this mean to
LCC? If Ballot Measure 6 had
been passed before the
1979-80 budget the effect
would have been a reduction
from LCC's general operating
levy of 64 .5 percent. The current operating tax rate of 96
cents per $1,000 of property
value would have been reduced to 50 cents per $1 ,000 .
Add to this reduction the further burden of a national inflation rate of 15 to 18 percent a
year, and Geoff Masters,
UniServ consultant, believes it
will spell economic chaos for
public education.
Earlier tax reforms have
already substantially reduced
available funds.
In 1979 Oregon was left with
a revenue surplus of $170
million. Realizing this excess
of funds put the legislature in a
position of either increasing
state spending or cutting back
on taxes the state took in. The
legislature voted to reduce income taxes by $139 million
and to give taxpayers a $70
million rebate. The legislature
trimmed expenses further by
reallocating money earmarked
for state agencies and sending
it to the local government.
If Ballot Measure 6 is passed and local services are staggered, voters may be unable to
reverse the effect . The
measure prohibits any attempt
to raise additional funds
without approval of at least
two-thirds of the legislature or
voters. This means any well
organized minority or single
issue group could prevent a
reversal even if the majority
desired it

ferent groups will start using the
Center as a meeting place, a
reference point.''
Because the Center is a
"club," it is not funded by any
portion of the school budget. It
must raise its monies the same
way any other on-campus club
does -- through fund raising projects.
Several of these projects are
currently on the drawing board.
One is a multi-cultural bake sale
to be held at the end of October.
There are also tentative plans for
a dance, an open house toward
the middle of November, and the
Center's annual Toys for Tots
drive, which benifits the children
of LCC students.
'' Last year we were given some
pretty shabby toys,·· sighs Creal.
''This year I would like to see
new toys, or at least toys in nice
condition. We'd like to wrap them
and have 'Santa' hand them out
to the kids.'' The Center is starting its toy collection this month.
Miguel Cardoso is co-ordinator
for Hispanic students, (who have
tentatively chosen the name
"Latino Club").

This portion of the Center has
already elected its officers and
has a current membership of
about 15 that Cardoso describes
as "very active".
The Latino Club meets this Friday at .4 p.m. in the cafeteria.
''We just want to get the word out
that this kind of support is
available,'' says Cardoso.
Also scheduled are meetings
for the Native American Club and
students representing the LCC
black community.
There are many resources
available to minority students at
the Center, including a job board,
tutoring services, and publications reflecting a student's native
culture. But the biggest part of
the program is support.
''This is a place for students to
share ideas, grab a cup of coffee,
and generally just learn about
each other,'' Creal enthuses.
"It's a support referral system."
And, says Creal, "The more involvement we get, the more of
this floor we want to spill over into
-- someday soon we're going to
stretch all the way around this
corner!''

Oregon ERA supporters rally in Illinois
Editor's note: Last summer
several women from the EugeneSpringfield arlJa traveled to
Chicago to participate in a rally
called by the National Organization For Women (NOW): Their
goal was to assist NOW members
in Illinois in an eleventh-hour effort to convince members of the
Illinois Legislature to pass the
Equal Rights Amendment. The
legislators had rejected the
amendment once before.
In observance of Women's Day,
(Oct. 7) the TORCH asked JoAnn
Een, a member of the Oregon
delegation to Chicago, to describe
the delegation's effort.
Next week, an LCC staff
member will specify her reasons
for considering national passage
of the ERA to be crucial. The
TORCH welcomes comments from
readers.

Thundering voices joined in
cheers and resounded in song as
over 90,000 met to demonstrate
our support for ERA Ratification in
Illinois. Under rain-threatening
skies , the OREGON NOW delegation waited four hours in formation for our turn to march to Grant
Park .

Jean Stapleton, Norman Lear,
the Reverand Jesse Jackson,
Mayor Jane Byrne, Eleanor
Holmes Norton, and presidential
candidate John Anderson joined
Ellie Smeal and other prestigious
speakers in urging the rally
crowd to continue the fight for
passage of the ERA.
Both the Rally and the March
personified the ever-growing list
of organizations supporting
ratification of the ERA: Priests for
Equality marched with the AFLCIO; NOW Chapters rallied with
Homemakers for the ERA; AAUW
groups joined with Mormons for
ERA. ,
Ellie Smeal' s quotation of
Phyllis Schlafley's allegation that
each marcher had received $1 O
for participating brought hilarity
to the day and $40,000 in donations from the assembly.
On Sunday the OREGON NOW
delegation solicited signatures at
two shopping centers on a proERA petition. The positive
response was overwhelming. One
woman who signed said her
mother had been a Suffragist and
had told her never to give up her

right to vote. Shoppers missed
buses to sign; people waited patiently in line for pens to fill out
postcards destined for the
legislators, Gov. Thompson, and
Mayor Jane Byrne. While activities were furious on the •'front
lines'' at shopping centers,
backstage work at the Ratification
Center on Michigan Ave. exploded as volunteers worked
feverishly to address postcards.
Systems were designed spontaneously to expedite the process
of sorting cards by legislative
district, so they could be handdelivered to the legislators during
the Springfield, Illinois rally
scheduled for the next Tuesday.
Phone banks were staffed 12
hours a day, and the flurry of activity continued into the wee
hours each night.
Tuesday dawned bright and
clear for our trip to the Capitol in
Springfield. Just prior to our arrival, the '' Stop ERA'' forces had
met in the Capitol with babies
bearing red stop signs plastered
to their heads. We assembled
with about 1,200 ERA supporters
to hear union leaders, feminist
activists, and religious leaders

Harassment appeal denied
NEW HAVEN, CT. (CPS) Ending
the nation's most significant sexfor-grades case, a federal appeals
court ruling last week denied five
Yale University women's appeal
to re-hear their sexual harassment charges against certain
faculty members.
The three-judge panel of the
2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
said charges of sexual harassment and an "atmosphere of inequality'' were pure speculation
and conjecture.
''We do not believe that the
courts should indulge in speculation of the sort required here,"
Judge Edward Lumbard ruled.
Of the five women, one had
complained a male professor
slashed her grade from an ''A'' to
a "C" because she refused to
submit to his sexual demands.
Another woman claimed she had
been forced to have sexual inter-

course with an instructor, and
ultimately had to foresake her
chosen major. Still another said
she was forced to leave her position as an athletic assistant to the
men's hockey team because of
sexual harassment.
In its ruling, the court said the
women had not suffered '' distinct
and palpable'' injury because of
Yale's action (or inaction) on the
allegations.
But in its three-year journey
through the courts, the Yale sexfor-grades case set several important legal precedents, including a ruling that sexual
constitutes
harassment
discrimination against women.
''The momentum we've
established here has already
reached many women across the
country," asserts Anne Simon,
lawyer for the five women. •'And
sooner or later a judge will rule to
get these guys (the accused male
professors).''
Simon adds that women from
across the country have been
seeking more information about
this case, and how it could lead to

more equitable guidelines at their
institutions.
The five women, who have
already graduated, were not asking for monetary compensation,
but sought a court order directing
Yale to institute grievance procedures dealing with harassment
complaints. When the complaints
were first aired more than three
years ago, there were no procedures.
Since then, Yale has established grievance procedures, though
there's some dispute as to how
effective they will become.
'' It appears that the major relief
sought in this suit has already
been granted," said the ruling.
Simon, however, argues the
new procedures fall far short of
insuring reasonable protection for
college students against professors' sexual desires.
"It's lots of paper, but very little action. For example, the dean
makes the final and only binding
decision. The board has no power
at all, except to advise," she
complains.

voice the support of their
organizations.
The AFL-CIO and Teamsters incited rousing cheers as they
stated that passage of the ERA
was the first issue their unions
had ever agreed upon. Sr.
Maureen Fiedler received warm
applause as she denounced the
efforts of anti-ERA forces to rally
under the banner of "God, Gou ntry, and Family." Following the
rally, constituents fanned out to
track down legislators and urge
them to support ratification. Many
anti-ERA legislators refused to

meet with their constituents, and
one female legislator stated that
she didn't think women should
even have the right to vote!!!
ERA once again failed to pass
the House in Illinois. But I don't
feel our efforts were wasted. We
formed new coalitions of labor,
religious organizations, and
political groups.
1980 is an election year, and
anti-ERA legislators should fear
voter reprisal for their continued
rejection of equal rights for
women. We will not be denied
constitutional equality.

Remember the hostages
For almost a year , American diplomatic personnel,
civilian as well as military , have been held hostage in
a foreign land . Some of these military personnel are
young people away from home for the first time. In
1979 we saw the American people respond to the
plight of these hostages . with each receiving many
thousands of pieces of Christmas mail.
On the other hand, the U.S. had many thousands of
young military people on duty in the U.S. and around
the world who received little or no mail during the
Christmas season.
That 's what Armed Forces Mail ca·u is all about.
The sixth annual Christmas Mail Call is now being
conducted for ou r young military personnel who will
be away from home during the Holiday Season , many
for the first time , thus unable to be with families and
friends . Mail Call distributes the mail it receives
through facilities of the Department of Defense as well
as various private organizations (hospitals , chaplains ,
Armed Services YMCAs . USOs . servicemen 's
centers , etc .) across the U.S. and around the world ,
reminding our young service people that the American
public has not forgotten them . Whether or not one
agrees with the Administration ·s foreign and domestic
policies , these young people do not make those
policies . Rather, they go wherever they are sent , in
the U.S. or overseas, serving our country .
Th is is an ideal proj'ect for families , school classes ,
and organizations , as well as individuals . For complete information on how you or your group may have
an active part in this very worthwhile program , please
write to Armed Forces Mail Call , 2170 West Broadway
no . 514, Anaheim. California 92804.
Also , if you have a friend or relative in military service who would appreciate extra mail at Christmas,
please send their name and address to Mail Call, and
some mail will be sent to them .

30 km. race scheduled
On Oct. 18, the Pacific Northwest Sri Chimoy
Athletic Club will offer a 30 km . race . The race will
begin at 7:30 a.m., starting and finishing at the
Coburg Elementary School . A post-race brunch will be
served and I-shirts awarded to all finishers . Prizes
will be awarded to the top three winners of each
category. The entry fee is $5.00 . For information call
687-0870 .

Mask show in gift shop
The Maude Kerns Art Center features its second annual Mask Show in the Gift Shop. Masks created by

Low-cost legal service
White Bird , 341 East 12th, Eugene, in cooperation
with participating attorneys in the Eugene-Springfield
area, announces the re-establishment of its Legal
Referral Service for persons with low or fixed incomes .

Applicants will have a confidential interview in the
Legal Referral Office to determine the need for legal
service . They can choose to see their own attorney or
be referred to a participating attorney.
Those eligible for low cost legal service can receive
one hour service for $15, payable at the time of interview in the Legal Referral Office of White Bird . Fee for
on-going service is to be on a sliding scale basis
agreed upon by the client and the attorney .
Persons who feel they have a legal problem should
make an appointment with White Bird Legal Referral
Office, 342-8255.
Attorneys interested in working with the program
should also call 342-8255 .

Outdoor barbecue planned
Friday, October 10, LCC Food Services will be
holding an outdoor barbeque for all students and staff
in the area just outside the snack bar in the sidewalk
area from 11 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Food Services
Director Bob Tegge reports that the main cafeteria will
be closed for the duration , however ; the snack bar
will remain open .

Tampon alternatives given
Recent concern that tampons may cause Toxic
Shock Syndrome has prompted the Portland Women 's
Health Center to offer information on alternatives to
tampon use .
It has been alleged that Toxic Shock Syndrome is
caused by tampons and their synthetic fiber content.
Toxic Shock Syndrome is characterized by sudden
onset of flu-like symptoms and diarrhea, progressing
to shock, coma , gangrene in the extremities, and in
some cases death .
The media and their medical consultants have
discouraged the use of tampons by menstruating
women , but have failed to offer any alternatives . The
Portland Women 's Health Center'offers information on
alternatives such as menstrual sea sponges ,
diaphragms, and cervical caps to collect the
menstrual flow .
For more information, call the Portland Women ·s
Health Center at 777-7044.
