Vets regain federal grants by Mike Sims TORCH Associate Editor Veterans attending LCC are again eligible to receive Pell Grant funds thanks to a recent act of Congress. Congress voted Sep. 9 and 10 to override President Reagan's veto of the FY -82 Supplemental Appropriations Bill (H.R. 6863). The bill provides $140 million for the Pell Grant program, bringing its 1982-83 appropriation to a total of $2.4 billion. According to LCC Financial Aid Director Frances Howard, veterans and most rec1p1ents of Social Security benefits were declared ineligible for Pell Grants earlier this year as a result of Reagan admmistration budget cuts. Passage of H.R. 6863 meant the reinstatement of veteran's eligibility for Pell Grants and increased the amount of most awards. According to the Veteran's Affairs office, approximately 800 veterans were enrolled at LCC in 1981-82. Howard said that eligible veterans would receive Pell checks this term. Awards range in amount from a minimum of $50 to a maximum of $346 per term. "We don't know how much vets will get," says Howard. "Vets will be receiving their first award checks. .and other students receiving Pell Grants will get supplemental checks." According to Frank Dvorak, program specialist for the Seattle office of the U.S. Department of Education, payment schedules have been completed and should be available to colleges within the next two weeks. Howard said that award checks will be issued within two weeks after payment schedules arrive at Financial Aid. Dvorak also stated that students with lower Pell Grant index numbers (meaning a greater amount of need) will receive the greatest increases in supplemental grants this term. Howard emphasized that it is important that vets eligible for Pell Grant monies get their certification into the Financial Aid office as soon as possible. '' Many veterans haven't even applied because they weren't eligible,"says Howard. "Some even threw away their certification when they were declared ineligible.'' Howard also stated that one reason vets were made eligible and Social Security recipients ineligible was because veterans have a strong lobby in Congress. ''This does make a difference," she says. Howard said that not all vets are eligible for Pell Grants. This is because some have outside income and/ or are receiving G.I. benefits. Lane Community College Vol. 23, No. 3 October 7 - Octol ea 13; 1982 'The Pacesetter of Oregon College Newspapers' LCC Basin plans draw controversy Analysis by Dale Sinner TORCH Staff Writer Editor's note: Since midAugust, the idea to develop a light-industry park in the LCC Basin has been bandied about by a group of developers, local officials and the general public. In an effort to keep members of the LCC community informed about this issue, the TORCH has planned a series of articles by staff writer Dale Sinner. Stories corresponding with new developments in the basin issue will appear throughout the school year. From letters of support calling the idea ''desperately needed" to Register-Guard editorials which Lane .County Commissioner Jerry Rust calls "strident" and "hysterical," the notion of developing the LCC Basin into a campus-like high-technology park has set both public and private sectors ablaze with interest. Preliminary planning discussions have spurred a chain of complex interreactions between the private sector and local governments, but the original impetus for the • ASLCC's "Peace Week" will offer war alternatives in early November.

Getting the ear of key local agencies and figures was no easy task. Eugene Mayor Gus Keller and Springfield Mayor John Lively urged the Lane County Commissioners to deny the developers' request for feasibility studies on their project, a vital first step toward amending the Metro Area General Plan. The Plan, a document only recently adopted, is a provisional outline directing urban and industrial growth in the Eugene/Springfield area. It specifies areas which already provide urban services (i.e., sewer systems, water, etc.) and those to which urban services could be extended. The LCC Basin, which is presently not in the plan, would have to be included to be zoned for light industrial development. The mayors of Eugene and Springfield initially urged the request for a feasibility study be denied but rescinded to a position that has become • KLCC's New Dreamers show offers synthesized music through electronic wizardy.

Oeteoc t3, 1982 The TORCH ' t t' It I, FREE FOR .A LL Editorial power a privi·lege by Jeff Keating TORCH Editor Most people are not fortunate enough to have a forum where they have the opportunity to air their views concerning just about anything. Newspaper editors, and a few others, do not belong to that group of people. We are perhaps the most blessed of all personages in media J,Jecause of our privilege to use the _printed word -- be it day after day or week after week -- to expound upon our observations, beliefs and conclusions. And when we abuse the right to editorialize by doing so in an unjustifiable manner, we have for all intents and purposes sacrificed the right to be newspaper editors. Because true editors, first and foremost, do not abuse the form of power they are so fortunate to possess. Recent local events in journalism have disturbed me. How, I ask myself, can a newspaper with any semblance of journalistic ethics completely sidestep the notion of a firm editorial policy, a policy that allows for expression of opinion and observation but does not ignore plausible argumen- tation, balance and common respect? It can't. And although newspapers and newspaper editors guilty of errors of this nature are not entirely without redeeming qualities, their actions seriously undermine the public acceptance and respect of the print media. Perhaps this is what bothers me the most. For more than two hundred years, in many shapes and forms, newspapers in this country have endeavored to capture the good graces of those they have tried so hard to serve: The people. One act of editorial mischief can ruin fifty years of journalistic good faith. Perhaps it can be written off to forgetfulness. Or spite. Or sheer carelessness. In any event, such a flagrant abuse of editorial privilege is more than a big no-no or a slap on the editorial page, page 2. This is wrist. It is a punch in the face one. There will be more, and to years of hard work by other they will be here. This is not a claim of selfjournalists and newspapers. The TORCH has a clear righteousness.

'' Anybody has the right to request a metro amendment," he adds. Fighting development While Springfield Mayor John Lively agrees with Keller, he does not think development in the LCC Basin is a good idea and says he'll "fight it tooth and nail." He cites a variety of reasons for his position, including the problems of providing public sewage service to an already overextended system, the existence of serviceable properties in the urban growth plan that would not need the extensive development necessary for the basin project and several arguments concerning ultimate public cost. Lively claims that the opening of an extra 1400 acres for light industrial development could cause competition in area investment/ development, forcing the value of other properties down. Even talk of opening the properties could freeze investment and be counterproductive, Lively claims. But while the issues of public service and the metro plan boundary are important, the metro plan itself calls for Eugene, Springfield and Lane County to . "cooperate in studying. . .other potential industrial lands Ol;ltside the. . .boundary. "(1982 Amendments, pg. 26) With that in mind, the Lane County Commissioners have a more positive outlook with regard to prospects. Spr- ingfield Commissioner Vance Freeman says, ''It all goes back to jobs. We need jobs so we've got to change our artitude. We're going to have to bend." Freeman agrees there should be a study ''if the developers can absorb the costs. There will be no cost to the jurisdictions." Not surprisingly, one of the architects representing the developers agrees. A tragic oversight? ''The LCC Basin is the best high-tech sight,'' says architect Donald Driscoll. "It's tragic that it's been overlook- "We need jobs so we've got to change our attitude. We're going to have to bend." Regarding urban services, Freeman says that the developers could provide their own services, citing the Bohemia mill north of Coburg as an example. Freeman says that while having developments inside urban boundaries and on city tax rolls would be best, "we've all got to look at the same common good -- the payroll dollar turns over more than the tax dollar." County commissioner Jerry Rust says that while he is "not an advocate" for the development, he is an advocate of a study. In a statement made to the United Lane Forum, Rust said that in attracting high tech industries to the area, "proximity to LCC is one of the most important things we have to offer," and that because "much of the industrial land we have to offer is less than choice" the LCC Basin is "the best we have to offer.'' ed in the Metro Plan." He goes on to state that the Metro Plan was based on employment projections that are out of date and "if you're interested in attracting jobs, you've got to offer attractive property. Our point is that the other (light industrial) areas will not fill up. They're not attractive properties and we'll lose (prospective firms) to other communities. It's not a choice between the LCC Basin and, say, Willow Creek, but Eugene or not Eugene." Driscoll adds that a rumor being perpetuated in the community -- that the developers want to open the entire area to developmerrt (housing, other business, etc.) -- is false. ''What we're proposing is very limited use around LCC for high-tech industry and research without greatly affecting the environment.'' He adds that "we're not asking for public expenditure." , 1982 The TORCH Page 4 October 7 - Ek _ Center offers video opportunitie s by Cathy Benjamin TORCH Staff Writer Stimulating programming, hands-on television production experience and a broad range of public-interest topics will be offered to the viewing mas~es as Eugene's Public Access TV Center opens its doors.

A dying Typhoon Freida gathered new strength off the northern Calijornia coast that Friday morning and roared inland, then north, blazing a trail of death and destruction from Redding to Seattle.

All but one (KORE) of Eugene's radio stations and both TV stations were silent. There was tragedy, respecting neither youth nor age: a 22 year-old UO graduate student was killed when a piece offlying debris pierced his chest as he tried to fix a broken window in his Amazon apartment. An 85 year-old man perished when a portion of wall at a local nursing home fell on him -as he comforted his ailing wife. There was placidity: at the height of the storm, a KVAL reporter spotted an elderly man busily gathering walnuts as they fell from the tree. There was humor, lots of it: during one of the few high school football games played that day, a punted ball traveled forward nearly Jive yards before the wind carried it back, over the punter's head. Two South Eugene High students paraded down Willamette near Broadway as windows shattered and debris flew. Attired in fur coats and sandals, they carried signs reading HREPENT". No one ever found out if they were as serious as the storm itself. Five people were killed and 45 injured during the two and one-half hour gale. Local property damage estimates exceeded a million dollars. Elsewhere in Lane County, two blocks of the Junction City business district were razed by a fire which began when the 90 mph winds toppled a wigwam burner. Cottage Grove and Florence also sustained heavy damage. Inexplicably, Springfield, the McKenzie River valley, and the Highway 58 corridor east to Oakridge were spared the storm's Juli fury.

Its roots are in classical, rock and folk music and are enhanced by the possibilities of new . technology. Electronic music is gaining momentum as new ways of expressing ideas and feelings emerge through the dreamy ambience of computerized sounds. ''Undeniably, music played on the program has roots in rock 'n' roll and classical music, but it is not by any means a broad spectrum of electronic music,'' -Nothnagle says. "It's a very specific branch, the dreamy, relaxing, late evening kind of sound. There is a great deal of electronic music that is fine music, but I think people would find it too strange for their ears.,, Nothnagle further explains, ''Because electronic music flourishes in the recording medium, it is a very cosmopolitan type of music. It, s a worldwide phenomena.'' Nothnagle finds material for New Dreamers from commercial records, unsolicited tapes and audition tapes.

It's difficult to play live. One person on a synthesizer cannot perform everything he/she wants to do before an audience, but in a studio it can be recorded and edited for special effect. "Music is recorded from raw sound on the tape and the tape turns into the performance.'' Nothnagle says. A new LCC class has developed from the increasing interest in electronic music. Nothnagle's Introduction to Electronic Music is held at LCC on Tue s day s and Thursdays from 11 :30 a.m. to I p.m . No knowledge of music or electronics is required and emphasis will be placed on instruction on the ARP synthesizer and four track recording studio. Nothnagle says, "Lots of recording equipment. will be brought in, local composers will come to talk, and there will be plenty of New Dreamers material to listne to."

During last week's ASLCC meeting a motion was made by Senator Laura Powell to support the Nuclear Freeze Initiative on the November ballot. The motion carried by a large margin.

An overwhelming majority of the student senate felt that this ballot measure would be disastrous to Lane Community College. If you are a high school completion student, you may be interested in noting that at least one student from your midst will be repr-esented on the student senate to air your views and express your complaints. If you can write and are looking for a way to make a few extra bucks, then stay tuned for information regarding money prizes for an essay and poetry contest in connection with the upcoming Peace Week, the third week in November.
