ROTC becomes a 'polarizing' issue
•

by Mike Sims

TORCH Associate Editor

An ASLCC committee
dedicated to keeping ROTC
off campus will continue its
work -- but without general
fund monies.
The Senate voted Jan. IO to
create and allocate funds for
the committee. However,
ASLCC fiscal policy does not
provide for the use of general
fund monies (funds provided
the ASLCC by the LCC Board
of Education) for ASLCC advocacy on issues.
The ASLCC Senate voted
Jan. 24 by a 10-2 vote with two
abstentions to. again form a
"stop ROTC" committee but
with no general fund monies.

The Senate action followed
discussion by students, faculty, and ASLCC officers and
senators on the LCC/ROTC
controversy. Approximately
25 people attended the meeting
to express concerns.
Among the speakers at
Monday's meeting was
mathematics instructor Robert
Thompson, an anti-ROTC
figure since the issue was raised last April. In his remarks,
he observed that "ROTC has
definitely become a polarizing
issue at LCC.
"Whether or not the board
approves an ROTC program
at LCC, it will also have a
polarizing effect on the community at large," said Thompson. "Large segments of the
community would be opposed

to whatever decision the board
makes.''
Computer science student
Bob Baldwin observed that
once ROTC is implemented at
a college it is difficult to
displace it if desired. Several
others concurred with this
observation.
Baldwin also noted, "The
current enrollment level in
ROTC at the University of
Oregon (85 students according
to UO ROTC officials) gives
no basis of adequate student
interest at LCC to support it
here."
At an earlier meeting
Thompson cited figures showing that 400 students would
have to enroll in an LCC
ROTC program for it to be

cost effective. Thompson
presented figures which indicated ROTC's cost per FTE
(full-time equivalent) would be
well over LCC's normal FTE
level. That level last spring
term was $2100 per student for
an FTE of 8500 whereas
ROTC, Thompson said,
would cost taxpayers $13,900
per year per student.
In rebuttal to these figures
and Baldwin's remarks,
business management student
Jerry Lasley said that
establishing ROTC would cost
LCC nothing since ROTC instructors are paid by the Army. Lasley was one of two
students present who spoke in
f~vor of ROTC.
Two instructors also rose in

support of the ROTC proposal. Social science instructor
George Alvergue used a piece
of hyperbole to show why
several other LCC programs
might well be eliminated if
ROTC were to be turned away
for anti-military reasons.
Alvergue cited Science, Law
Enforcement, and even Mass
Communication courses as
containing subject matter the
military could use toward
biological warfare, imposition
of a police state, and
spreading propaganda.
Social science instructor
John Kocher, an ROTC
graduate and 25-year Air
Force veteran, cited the
liberalizing influence ROTCtrained officers can have on
the military establishment.

Administration facing ROTC
responsibilities, choices
Commentary by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor

That ROTC is the most controversial issue to hit this campus in a long, long time is of
little doubt.
Both sides -- pro and con -seem to be of the belief that
significant portions of the student population support their
points of view.
But is this really the case?
Has either group garnered
enough public opinion -- the
public being the students --, to
justify their claims?
Probably not. And though
both sides would argue that
they are approached daily by
students who support their
side -- thus justifying, again,
the "significance" argument -they are seeing and hearing
prominent trees in a largely
voiceless academic forest. Joe
Student may have a definite
opinion about ROTC but be
unwillin$ to speak out; as a
result, literally thousands of
opinions, pro and con, are not
being heard.

It is at this point that the
matter is taken out of the
hands of the Paquita Garateas
and Ron Munions of the world
and is thrown into the lap of
the school administration.
Although student opinions
should be handled through
student-oriented channels of
communication, a decision on
possible curriculum -- which
ROTC is -- is ultimately decided by administrative recommendation and a Board of
Education decision.
Presently, a committee
established through the Dean
of Instruction's office handles
curriculum questions. And
although they undoubtedly do
a wonderful job, an issue like
ROTC lives and dies on its
visibility.
So some "quick thinking"
on the part of the administration and the students is in
order to give the ROTC question -- and all of those concerned -- a chance to speak
out. Ideas might include:
• A survey, administered

through the Dean of Instruction's office, which asks
neutral questions and
tabulates student opinion in
real numbers without naming •
names. This assumes that a
significant number of students
respond to the survey. It also
assumes that independent
variables -- one person respon. ding more than once, joke
answers, etc. -- are taken into
consideration.
• Neutral, open forums
sponsored by the administration
which
give the
recommendation-making parties a chance to hear the opinions of students and staff.
• A special LCC Board session, which serves the same
function as the open forums
but brings the issue directly to
the people who will make the
final decision.
The ROTC issue is well
beyond the talking stages. A
hand-in-hand student/administration effort is needed
to finally resolve one of LCC's
most pressing questions, and
quickly.

AM radio: A piece of America na fading away

Commentary by Mike Sims

TORCH Associate Editor

recently
I
discovered a real
treat for the ear.
station
Radio
KGAL offers a
night
Sunday
'' golden oldies''
program like none
I've ever heard.
For the station doesn't stop at serving up classic oldies from the Golden
Age, but garnishes them aurally with
original vintage ID jingles and disc
jockey patter delivered in the same
hokey, breathless manner common to
announcers of twenty years past:
OhhkayyletsgototheNumberT enspotthisweekchartbustersThe Kingsmenand'LouieLouie!'

Hearing it, I was swept into a wave
of nostalgia for the tender age (nine) at
which I became an AM radio junkie.
My love affair with the medium
began during the tail end of its heyday
-- specifically, the summer of 1968. In
those days my audio loyalties were
divided between KEED, then Eugene's
premier AM _rocker; and KUGN,
characterized then as now by a
homespun folksiness which seems to be
on the decline in the industry today.
Local ownership of stations, once
the rule rather than the exception, has
given way in recent years to control by
corporate chains (Golden West,
Metromedia). Thus, programming is -well, programmed -- and many stations
have lost touch with local audiences.
My image of the AM jock was
shaped early by the witty unpretentiousness of KEED's Morgan C.

Morgan (' 'Where would this country
be without this great land of ours?")
and the conversational hometown
manner of KUGN's Dale ''Uncle Fuzzy" Reed. It was even more finely honed by Wolfman Jack's appearance in
the 1973 film classic American Graffiti.

Such illusions were shattered years
later when I visited a local station and
saw the announcer at work -- standing
up, reading from a script. A "No
Eating/Drinking/Smoking'' sign hung
over his head. He performed his
various on-air duties with the same
happy abandon my mother brings to
vacuuming the living room rug.
Gone was the comfy image of a DJ
nestled fat 'n' happy among the tools
of his trade, swigging grape soda and
dragging on a Pall Mall while happily

and loosely chattering over the intro to
the latest Gary Puckett single.
Remember groups that specialized in
singles? Martha And The Vandellas.
Tommy James And The Shondells. Bo
Donaldson And The Heywoods.
They'd have a hard time today, competing with the corporate albumoriented structure common to both the
record and broadcast industries -- industries which by necessity scratch
each other's backs.
And with each day that this profitoriented, computerized reciprocation
multiplies, true AM-style radio purists
are afforded fewer opportunities to indulge their tastes~ Perhaps the pace of
life has become too rapid for such an
easygoing piece of Americana to keep
up -- a part of Americana reminiscent
of a simpler and more laid-back society.

Good reviews
To the Editor:

For a number of years, I
have received a copy of the
Lane Community College
TORCH and have been most
impressed with the quality of
the newspaper. In your
January 6, 1983 issue, three
films were reviewed by staff
members Karla Sharr, Jeff
Keating, and Andrew
Hanhardt. I had seen each of
the three movies, Airplane II,
48 HRS., and The Verdict. I
thought the reviews were well
written and gave a fair and
thorough protrayal of each of
the movies.
I certainly · agree with Jeff
Keating's concern over the
way 48 HRS. portrayed
women and the extraordinary
violence in the film. One other
aspect of 48 HRS. that Mr.
Keating did not mention was
profanity. One understands in
movies involving police and
criminals that there are certain
forms of speaking which rely

heavily on profanity, but it
seems to me that the profanity
came into play at times when 1t
was not necessary. That took
something away from the film.
Again, thank you very much
for sending me the newspaper.
I do enjoy your film reviews.

Forum

ROTC not an urgent need at LCC
by Paquita L. Garatea

ASLCC President

Editor's note: Pres. Garatea's forum reflects only her opinions
and does not nec~ssari/y reflect the opinions of the TORCH
staff, editorial board or advisers.

When we equate support of
the military with support of
• America, we surrender our
fundamental constitutional
objective: To establish civilian
op1mon and responsibility
over military rule. Essential to
our way of life is the participation of the civilian in decisions
concerning our military purpose and function.
Even if this argument is construed -to be antimilitary in nature, it is "responsible military" in
essence. Mr. Munion would be more accurate to
have suggested anti-militarism. For it is the
militarism in our society with which we can be
least proud the most often.
It was the military that sought to court-martial a
black man for shooting down two Japanese planes
at Pearl Harbor because Blacks in the Navy in
1941 were not allowed to touch guns.
It was the military in the form of the CIA in the
late Fifties who assasinated Patrice Lumumba,
African leader from the Congo, and refused to admit it for twenty years.
It is the military which has abandoned billions
of dollars in military equipment all over the world
while scampering after every new piece of death
machinery manufactured.

While a well prepared defensive and offensive
military is essential to our way of life, it does not
appear necessary for us to agree or endorse all
programs or activities that they choose to implement.
At this time, there is no urgent need for us to be
militarily ready at the community college level.
The nation is not in such desperate status to require us to provide housing and facilities for this
particular program·. In fact, the clarion call from
the President to the unemployed of this nation appears to be better use of existing facilities for
greater access into the job market.
There are an estimated 12,000 unemployed people in Lane County with 20,000 families living
below the poverty level. If LCC has excess space,
lights, phones, and staff, let us lend these facilities
to increasing the employment opportunities for
the people in our community.
Munion suggests that "LCC is not the place to
restrict the academic freedom of any thought.''
Our thought the ASLCC, along with many
students and taculty, is LCC would fare better by
concentrating on prioritizing our resources toward
the mass of unemployed, under-employed, and
unemployable members of our society. This is the
task to which this institution has been set since its
beginning and a goal not yet realized to the point
whereby we can diffuse our energy through this
one particular issue.
In the event that redundant military offerings
are prioritized over simple survival demands of our
population, we experience a substantial reversal of
our purpose as a nation and as a college.
Of the 3,000 colleges and universities in the US,.

relatively few have ROTC programs at the community college level. It would not be uniquely injurious to those few students who might choose to
pursue such courses to find ways of doing so at
one of the institutions that offers and pays them
for this opportunity.
c
Students eligible for financial assistance at community colleges may transfer this eligbility to any
fully accredited institution and receive similar consideration if they are timely in their application
procedure. Opportunities to serve in the armed
forces and attend college while doing so are touted
daily by the military. I strongly endorse anyone's
choice to participate in ROTC; however, I fail to
see the necessity for supporting such an operation
on this campus.
Respecting the rights of those to participate in
such a program is inherent in our endorsement of
a free society. But accepting "free gifts" of
military education may, in fact, subject our entire
campus and community to an energy and
philosophy we can live without.
It is typical of Mr. Munion to assess any ideas
not in agreement with his own as erroneous, poorly thought-out, or simply malicious. We, the
ASLCC, however, feel that the responsibility of
student leadership is to possess the interest of
students and the care to present all relevant issues
to the campus for dialogue. It is the responsibility
of the student body president to have an opinion,
for the absence of an opinion sets the stage for
chaos in the decision-making process.

Bear Bryant dead at 69
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Former University of Alabama football coach
Paul "Bear" Bryant, who won more games than any other college grid
mentor, died here Jan. 26 of a heart attack. He was 69.
Bryant stepped down last month after coaching the Crimson Tide since
1957. He finished with 325 career victories, most of them at Alabama. He
led 'Barna to five national championships and 24 straight bowl appearances, including a 21-15 Liberty Bowl win over Illinois last month in
his final game.
Tributes to Bryant have come from President Reagan: "(He was) a
hero who always seemed larger than life ... a coach who made legends out
of ordinary people," and Penn State coach Joe Paterno: "Bear Bryant
was a monumental fugure in college football."
Bryant's funeral will be held Jan. 28 in Tuscaloosa. Members of his
1982 squad will serve as pall bearers.

Reagan calls for education "revitalization"

WASHINGTON -- President Reagan says parents, teachers, organized
labor and business should join together to "revitalize" American education. Reagan is calling for increased financial support for education.
In his State of the Union message, Reagan called for tax-sheltered savings accounts to help parents finance their children's college education. A
White House background paper says interest on the education savings accounts wouldn't be taxed, and neither would withdrawals as long as they
were used to pay tuition. It hasn't been made clear whether deposits to the
accounts would be tax free, like deposits to individual retirement accounts.

Solons will mull stiffer DUii penalties

SALEM -- A bill that would make a variety of stiffer penalties for
drunken driving convictions hass been introduced in the Oregon House of
Representatives.
The measure would lower the blood-alcohol level for determining if someone were driving under the influence of intoxicants from the current
.10 percent to .08 percent.

"There's a Ford in your -- living room?"
LONGVIEW, Wash. -- 75-year old R. J. Millette and his wife Ethel can
be forgiven if they decide to put parking meters in the living room of their
home here. Their house has been bashed five times by cars going too fast
to negotiate a left-hand curve in front of the house.
The last such incident occurred Jan. 221 when a car made a direct hit on
the structure, in contrast to earlier g1ancing blows by other errant
vehicles. The collision caused approximately $5,000 worth of damage to
the Millette home.
"It shook us awful," Millette said of the collision. "It just about made
my wife go to pieces."

Soccer teams gain funds,
but lose indoor tournament
by Kevin Morris
for the TORCH

The University of Portland
beat out Southern Oregon
State 4-2 Sunday to win the
first annual Lane Indoor Soccer Tournament.
The double-elimination
tournament featured 29 games
during a three-day period.
According to tournament
director and LCC men's soccer coach Dave Poggi, the real
winner was host LCC and the
exposure it's soccer program
gained. "We got real good
response and the other teams
expressed interest in our program."
Earning money, attention
One other benefit was the
expected net gain of about
$1,000 that will pay for next
year's LCC warmup suits, as
well as for some recruiting expenses. Poggi sees these investments as necessary to build

an even more improved Titan
team.
Without spending a nickel,
the first-year soccer coach
began his recruiting at the
tournament. He- entered two
LCC teams, and while neither
fared well -- finishing 9th and
10th -- he's happy rhat the
players gained so much experience.
Lane combined the six
returning players from last
year's team with some high
school players in an effort to .
expose the preps to competition at the college level. And in
the process Poggi gave some
coaching and playing time to
possible recruits.
''This is our first year for
recruiting at Lane, and my
goal while I'm here is to build
the best ~occer program in the
state,'' he says firmly.
What would that take?
Poggi says it would mean
beating a fine club like the

Future players, funds
Towards -that end, Poggi
has another major indoor
tournament planned for this
spring, but exclusively for high
school players. The objective
again is to serve as a recruiting
effort and to raise more funding.
In the long-run the coach is
working for a year-round program at the college which he
says is the only way the Titans
can be the very best in the
state.
And he wants to be sure to
increase the level of competition for the Titans. One way,
he says, is to seek the merger

Titans edge ·Lakers
by Lucy Hopkins

TORCH Staff Writer

LCC's women cagers went
head-to-head
against
Southwestern Oregon CC last
Saturday night and came away
with a 58-54 win. The victory
in Coos Bay upped the Titans'
OCCAA record to 3-2, good
for a third:place tie with Mt.
Hood CC.
"The game was very
physical,'' said coach Sue
Thompson. In fact she went
on to say that at times the
game was too rough for the
players to be safe from likely
injury.
The Lakers came on strong,
often surprising LCC and forcing the Titans to fight for
every advantage.
Thompson maintains , that
Lane didn't perform well offensively but simply traded
buckets with the Lakers the
entire first half. Neither team
truly dominated the boards or
the floor, so there was a continuous seesaw battle
throughout. The first half ended at a 36-36 standoff.
LCC came back in the se-

cond half with a new strategy
and renewed vigor. The Titans
executed a fast break and adjusted their defense to hold
SWOCC's (and the game's)
leading scorer, Colleen
Cumberland, to just 6 points
in the second half compared to
her 16 first-half tallies.
According to Thompson,
the game was tainted by questionable
officiating.
Specifically, she says that the
major problem was the lack of
calls (especially .for threesecond violations) rather than
an abundance of bad calls.
Dawn Bredesen remained
consistent for the Titans, scoring 19 points to lead the LCC
squad. Bredesen leads the OCCAA in scoring with an
average of 16.6 points per
game.
Thompson was pleased with
the efforts of Sam Prentice,
who scored 12 points and
crashed the boards for 15 rebounds. Prentice leads the
OCCAA in rebounding with a
12.2 rebounds per game
average.
In last night's action, the
Titan women fell to LinnBenton 78-56 in Albany.
Dawn Bredesen led the LCC
squad with 14 points. Camee
Pupke added 10 tallies and
Connie Denk hauled down a
game-high 10 rebounds.

Eugene's first Indoor Track
Meet has received an overwhelming response, according
to meet director Mitch Allara.
The meet, which will be held in
the Lane County Fairgrounds
Arena Jan. 29, has attracted
over 1700 athletes from high
schools and colleges around
the Northwest.
The meet will be the first
chance for Lane's men's and
women's teams to check their
progress so far this season.
Also included in the field is
a contingent of top-notch
Japanese athletes that have
been brought in by Nike International.
"The turnout has been fantastic. It will be an exciting
meet," says Allara, also LCC
intramurals director. "Indoor
track is here (in Eugene) finally. . .we hope to establish a
tradition of indoor track in
Eugene."
Proceeds from the meet will
go mainly to Oregon Track
Club athletes to supplement
their travel budgets. The competition starts at 10:30 a.m.
with tickets available at the
door for $2.
