Lane Commun ity College Vol. 18, No. 23 April 21 - Ill, 1983 'The Pacesetter of Oregon College Newspapers' LAD D plan revised by Mike Sims TORCH Associate Editor The chief of LCC's financial services asked for "feedback" on his department's proposals to deposit college employees' paychecks directly into their bank accounts. The feedback came in. And he's altered the proposal. Financial Services Director Verne Whittaker told the TORCH Tuesday that the amount of feedback received through a questionnaire distributed at the staff LADD informational meetings last week prompted him to remove some offending language from the authorization form. The feedback indicated the offensive words in LADD authorization forms were the following: "If funds to which I am not entitled are deposited to my account, I authorize Lane Community College to direct the bank to return said funds. ,, Staff members opposed college access to their personal bank accounts. (Editor's note: LCC itself plays no part in the mechanics of the process, which is administered through a national funds transfer clearinghouse.) Whittaker said at a LADD meeting April 12 that authorization forms which have already been received would have this clause removed if he received enough staff feedback in favor of removal. He also said that staff members objecting to this portion of the authorization document could cross it out before signing. "We have almost a month before (LADD) will be implemented,'' Whittaker said at the meeting. ''That gives us enough time to make changes in the process.'' LADD is scheduled to first affect LCC paychecks issued May 31 (not April 30, as was reported in the April 14 TORCH). Under the plan as originally devised, current employees would have been given the choice of having checks deposited by comguter in the Service Employee~ of Lane County (SELCO) credit union or other financial in- stitutions of their choice. Employees not choosing one of these options would have had paychecks mailed to their homes. The option chosen by each employee would be irrevocable and new or rehired employees would have no choice -- their paychecks would automatically be deposited in SELCO or other bank accounts. More feedback needed An original provision of LADD called for eliminating the present practice of distributing checks through LCC departments or the Financial Services office. However, Whittaker is asking for additional feedback from staff members on whether or not they would like the option of picking up checks in person retained. A questionnaire was published in The Daily April 15 and 18 asking staff members "Given a paper check distribution choice, I would elect to (either) have my check mailed two business days before payday, or pick up my check from a central 1~ tion such as Financi S~ vices." Employees we , until Friday, April 2 pond. Purchasing Dep employees have alre culated a petition amo members asking that t e OJ): tion of picking up ch s in person be retained.

H couraged staff members did not opt for LADD to pond to the questionna ''The sooner we can as employee feedback, the soo r we can come out with a fi ne:. I decision.'' "We're trying to be =sensitive to (staff conce;nsf by giving them this additional chance for input," Whittaker said, adding that he will probably have his questionnaire evaluation process completed . and a decision made on whether or not LCC paychecks can be picked up in person by the first part of May.

The ASLCC sponsored the slide show and discussion April 18 as part of LCC's Earth Week activities. "It's a fascinating thing to take a piece of land that has been bespoiled -- stripped of its resources -- and bring it back to life,'' Neehar asserted. This agricultural revival came in two phases, Neehar explained. The first involved rehabilitatin,g 1200 acres which had previously been farmed. Once this phase was underway, the disciples began to bring untilled land into production. Of course, much of the process involved extensive use of water. • The Student Health Service will offer help to pregnant women. See Chris Gann's story, page 4. "It am' t desert out there," Neehar said in describing the region. ''There are massive amounts of potential water resources to be found." A series of small dams collects and stores ample amounts of water for irrigating Rajneeshpuram's croplands. The largest of these dams has created a reservoir holding 385 million gallons -- enough to serve the community for five years, according to Neehar. This water irrigates truck farms that provide fresh vegetables daily (in season) to the central canteen where the disciples -- vegetarians all -eat.

My commentary this week is not a search for the "perf~ct" candidate. Nor is it an attempt to sabotage the efforts of those whose intentions are good. Let it serve as a cautionary device: Avoid those who would sway voter opinion by either promising the unpromisable or promoting nonexistent good feeling. Reading between, and behind, the lines A responsible voter -- be it for an LCC, local, state or national election -has an obligation to himself and other voters. As I mentioned in this column two weeks ago, anything less than a thorough individual effort by each and every student to create, by voting, the best possible student government is 1) an irresponsible cop-out and 2) and open invitation to special interest groups. "But Jeff," you may ask, "where do we begin? How do we, as students, become informed about the issues and candidates?" That's a good question, with a couple of responses: • Ask questions. Candidates aren't untouchables. They're just students who supposedly want to represent you. And a lot of them can be found -- or contacted, at least -- through your student government, Center Room 479.. Lots of friendly people upstairs will help you find whomever you want to talk to. Ask the candidates the tough questions. Pretend you' re Mike Wallace or Ed Bradley. In any case, make them respond to your question. • Know the issues. Easier said than done, I know, but not impossible. Next year's ASLCC officers will have to face budget reductions. They may have to reduce some of the services the ASLCC has provided up until now. • At the risk of patting ourselves on the back, read the TORCH (including next week's answers from candidates to the questions we've asked them). • Ask present ASLCC officers what they feel are the important issues of the day. • And put some questions to your friends at Lane: What issues are important .to them? Promising the unpromisable? It's easy to be misled at this time of year. Much as we wish it weren't true, there are candidates who just aren't suitable for their desired positions. And that's where responsible voters must be on the lookout. Allow candidates room for creative thought and imagination, but beware of those who would promise the unpromisable, giving ideas or answers that on the surface seem workable but in reality aren't very practical. With enough background information, you'll be able to use your judgment, the judgment of one who "knows," to decide your choices for office. Through question-asking, gathering background information, and general consciousness-raising, a competent and qualified student government can be a reality. It's in our hands. Let's not let it slip away. Peace plans continue beyond the year 2000 by Arthur Hoppe For Chronicle Features Syndicate Cairo, May 1, 2003 The latest US peace plan for the Mideast was scrapped today after PLO Chief Yasser Thasmabebe refused to meet with Albanian tennis player Hok Tuwee. Thasmabebe said angrily he had proof that in 1994 Tuwee had seen a re-run of "National Velvet" starring Elizabeth Taylor, who had once embraced Judaism in order to wed the fourth of her six husbands. In Washington, a State Department spokesman termed the rejection of Tuwee a "grave disappointment" although he said he couldn't precisely recall Tuwee's assigned role in the negotiations. On the bright side, Israel Premier Nevah Begin pledged in Jerusalem to "immediately withdraw'' all Israeli troops from Lebanon "the very minute'' the last combatant left that war-torn country. Begin said this included the PLO, the Syrians, the Druze, all eight Moslem factions, all six Christian factions, all seven UN peacekeeping forces, all 16 surv1vrng Lebanese civilians and Arthur J. Farney, a tourist from Secaucus, N.J ., who claimed to be neutral. At the same time, Begin promised not to build "one single solitary more'' Israeli settlement on the West Bank, now one of the most densely populated areas of the world. He said he hoped this would refute "Arab propaganda" that he planned to double tier the present 14,783 Israeli outposts there. "There's plenty more Promised Land where that West Bank came from,'' he said cheerfully. • • • Meanwhile, a Moslem peace mission from India, Sumatra, Sri Lanka and the National Basketball League once again pleaded with Iran and Iraq to halt their war for 24 hours so that the long-spewing oil well in the Persian gulf could be capped. In the past two decades, the resultant slick has spread through the Indian Ocean and into the South China Sea, threatening fish, wildlife and the recently fixed OPEC price of $64 for either a barrel of oil or a glass of water. Unfortunately, the peace mission was tossed out of Tehran by the Ayatollah Yussoh, who said he was much too busy directing a mob of angry students who had seized the Soviet legation while burning a gross of Brazilian flags and shouting, ''Death to America!'' In response to agitated protests from Moscow, the Ayatollah replied calmly: "All you infidels look alike to me.'' The Russians were faring no better elsewhere. They had hailed North Yemen's recent victory over South Yemen under the mistaken impression that the former and not the latter was their ally. And through some unforeseen error, the heat-seeking SAM XXIV anti-aircraft missiles they had installed for the Syrians in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley turned out to be waterseeking SAM XXVIII antisubmarine missiles instead. "Deeply regret loss of Royal Carp Pond,'' the Kremlin cabled President Haffa Sed, "and the rest of Damascus, too.'' In retaliation, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution to nuke Israel by a vote of 182-0 with the US abstaining. This apparently had no effect on Libya where Colonel Mororless Kharazi declared hismself king of New South Wales. "It's a surprise to us," a high CIA official told reporters. "We were working with him on a plan to overthrow the Tooth Fairy." • • • In Washington, the president announced a new Mideast peace plan involving an approach through a Monrovian taxi driver to a Chinese vice premier whose grandfather had once played Ping-Pong with Albert S.

To the Editor "1983 may be the year for gays in Oregon,'' or so says Jerry Weller of the so-called "Right to Privacy Lobby" (Gay Community News, 3-5-83). He's right if a bill introduced by Eugene Senator Margie Hendriksen passes. If you think the ordinance Eugene voters threw out by a 2-1 margin several years ago was bad, then get a load of Section 7 of SB 435 which reads ''To eliminate the effects of discrimination the Bureau of Labor and Industries may promote voluntary affirmative action by employers, labor organizations, governmental agencies, private organizations and individuals and may accept financial assistance and grants or funds for such purpose ... " It also (calls) for "A program of public education calculated to eliminate attitudes upon which practices of discrimination because of. . .sexual orientation ... are based." Might this mean prohomosexual public service announcements or promoting these views in our public schools? It's clear that the majority of Democrats and the majority of Republicans in this state oppose legislation such as this. I wonder why Ms. Hendriksen would rather work against the will of the people?

RAJNEESH -- continued from page I - - - - - - - - - - - - two restaurants in Portland, down to a pre-meal glass of wine -- "Our vineyards have yielded a fine crop of grapes and proven quite successful,'' Neehar said. (The moderate use of alcohol by disciples of the Bhagwan is allowed.) No Rajneeshpuram-raised animal is killed for meat. The cattle and poultry provide dairy products and the sheep give their wool. "To us the slaughter of animals is not aesthetic, not in harmony with the earth,'' Neehar explained. After the needs of the community have been served, any surplus produce is sold on the open market. "You be dead right,'' Neehar responded to audience observations of capitalistic tendencies in a communal society. "We believe in a free market, and commitment to wealth is part of life at Rajneeshpuram.'' And this commitment to wealth is put into practice not by any long-range plan but by spontaneous response to a given situation. "We see what's there, pick up on it and make it work for us," Neehar explained. Case in point: ''Thanks to the amount of publicity we've received, which we did not foresee, we now have a thriving tourist trade on the ranch and have built a business around it.'' Tourist-oriented operations at the ranch include a gift shop, restaurant and overnight facilities. In addition to onranch enterprises and the Portland restaurants (one a disco/nightclub) the commune also operates a country store in Antelope, 20 miles to the west. Rajneeshpuram, Oregon's second newest city, comprises a tiny percentage (300 acres) of the 64,000 acre ranch. Its 154 registered voters opted for incorporation in May 1982. The city boasts the fourth largest public transportation system in Oregon (private vehicles are not allowed on the ranch) and complete police, fire protection and ambulance service. A waste disposal system ensures that all waste returns to the earth through recycling or composting. Community water and sewer systems and an airstrip are under construction. "I hope all of Oregon can become rich with us," Neehar said. ''We practice a straightforward, interdependent relationship with society and the land ... a kind of New Age idealism, the key to which is awareness to making use of the natural resources available to us." Graphic by Jason Anderson through the use of community alternatives. Kramer said there should be a trend toward decreasing imprisonment, particularly when dealing with non-violent offenders. ''Of the 46 percent of the people in prison for nonviolent or statutory offenses, surely ... many can be released early under parole supervision without posing a risk to society," Kramer said. "This could reduce the cost of the system without increasing the risk to the community.'' That proposal is being considered by the Oregon Prison Overcrowding Project and will be proposed either in this or the W next legislative session. Other proposed solutions to the overcrowding problem are: • Decriminalize certain victimless crimes. • Reduce crime classifications on other offenses. • Begin victim-off ender restitution programs to encourage alternative dispositions of offenses. • Revise civil compromise laws to permit victim-offender restitution agreements in a wider variety of crimes and devise a mechanism to facilitate their use by victims and acceptance of the courts. • Pass legislation placing a maximum limit on prison arm Fuzzy Friend to Wed: If you're not doing anything this Saturday, and you happen to be in the vicinity of Stern Grove in San Francisco, 19th and Sloat, try to escape the area as quickly a possible ... yes, the rumors are true; Kathy Rolfe and Mark Slemmons will be engaging in nuptials, nuptials, I tell ya, right there in the pavilion in front of God and Everybody!

Then there were the signs. "Jobs Make Happiness, " "I'd Rather Be Working But l Don't Have A Job,,, "Jobs Not Bombs,,, they read. Finally, there came the speakers. "The government of the United States has not represented the people, " said one. Story by Jeff Keating, photos by Andrew Hanhardt The topic was unemployment April 15 as about 250 people gathered in front of the Federal Courthouse in downtown Eugene at noon for a "Speakout Rally." Sponsored by the Lane Unemployment Project, the rally was part of a "Jobs With Peace Week" held in more than 100 cities last week. A petition to the federal government which demands immediate action on the problems of the unemployed was circulated, and speakers and musical numbers highlighted the afternoon's activity. But the crux of the event was the public point of view, as an open microphone gave way to a torrent of outcry by a small portion of Eugene/Springfield's unemployed ranks. Don Smith, a local building trades worker, started off the "Speakout" by pointing out the 80-85 percent construction trades unemployment rate in Lane County. After noting that Pres. Reagan had found a job last week for a man who sent him his resume, Smith said "why don't all of the people in this country send the president resumes?" People with jobs spoke out for those without, as well. ''There are people who come in," said a Lane County Unemployment Office Worker, ''who should be bitter and aren't. And then there are those who should be bitter and are. One man came in and said that society owed him a bank robbery." 'A day of infamy' Manuel Pacheco, director of the U of 0 High School Equivalency Program and a featured speaker at the rally, alluded to the irony of an unemployment rally on a day when many Americans are racing to finish their income taxes. "Today," Pacheco said, "is a day of infamy, a day of disgrace, a day of shame. The people of this country are paying money so that the government can fund every cause of injustice and profiteering in the world. "How can it possibly be," he continued, "that a government which is supposedly so committed to the sanctity of human rights (i.e., Reagan's anti-abortion views) can ignore people already conceived and living in the world?'' Coralee Washington, a member of the Eugene Minority Commission and herself a black, drew parallels between the plight of minorities and the plight unemployed of all races find themselves in. "You're in the same position ... minorities have been in for years," she said. "You're finding out what it's like to have taxation without representation. You know what it's like to be hungry sometimes. You know how frustrating it is to not be able to find a job. "Tell me," she concluded, "how does it feel?" Abortion testing available at SHS by Chris Gann TORCH Staff Writer The LCC Student Health Service (SHS) now provides laboratory pre-testing and post-procedure check-ups to LCC women who have abortions -- just as it provides lab tests and check-ups for women who plan to complete their pregnancies. And SHS Director Sandra Ing admits that the recently adopted testing and check-up policy for abortion patients is an "emotionally-charged area.'' But, she asserts, these services are within the scope of treatment that the SHS offers. Tests, available to any pregnant LCC woman, include a gonorrhea culture, an Rh Titer, and a Pap smear. says, Ing However, an with "Frequently (obstetrian) there's a package price involved." The package includes tests for a woman carrying her fetus full term, so the cost of private care is not decreased by using SHS testing services. But Ing says a woman, limited financially and con- sidering an abortion, can cut costs by about $40 by using the SHS tests. While the SHS testing is cheaper than a private clinic's, it is not as convenient. "It's a hassle, a temendous amount of work,'' says Ing. • First, a private practitioner (not an LCC physician) who will perform the abortion must request the SHS to .perform the tests. • Then the woman must schedule the Pap smear exam when an SHS nursepractitioner is on duty. Ing says this isn't easy, since the nurses are often booked up, and women wanting abortions are often on short time-lines. • Once the blood tests and Pap smear are complete, the woman must sign a medical record release. Then, she may have to pick up records and test results from the SHS and deliver them to the private clinic herself to meet the deadline. "We will also see abortion patients for a post-check if their private doctor requests it," Ing says. Similarly, SHS personnel will do a post-natal (after childbirth) check-up upon request by a private practitioner, if the SHS gynecologist is available, Ing explains. In developing the policy Ing says she considered how to treat both students and area physicians fairly. She was concerned that the SHS not become a "pipeline" to only one clinic that performs abortions. LCC women who want abortions are given the names of two or three different clinics by SHS. En te rt ai nm en t The Meaning of Lif e lacks pacin.g by Jeff Keating TO RCH Editor It's artistic -- yet crude. It's hilarious -- yet uses comedic devices that often fall flat. It expounds on a serious social message -- yet is perpetually silly. It's another Monty Python movie. Following their three resounding successes, (Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and The Secret Policeman's Other Ball)-- all of which followed one theme -- The Meaning of Life is a collection of short episodes that struggles to get its message across. In its latest effort, England's bestknown comedy troupe takes its new film through some very strange cinematic paces. There are the very funny and entertaining scenes: • A massive musical number in a London sidestreet, complete with dancing children ala 1969's Oliver; • Talking fish in a restaurant aquarium, making wry remarks as their friends appear on customer's plates; • Witty repartee and commentary when Death makes an unexpected ap• pearance at the dinner table. And then, of course, there are the tasteless scenes: • A lengthy vomiting sequence; • The explosion of an obscenely fat man in a restaurant after one dinner mint puts him over the physical limit. The audience learns to take it all in stride, however, and Terry Gilliam -the only American Pythoner -- includes some colorful and fascinating animation to make much of the film well worth the price of admission. But The Meaning of Life, forgetting for the moment its tasteless bits, still has some serious flaws. Its primary weakness is pacing, which is to be expected. Unlike its three Ground Zero Week April 24-30 at U of 0 Two experts on the Soviet Union, with differing views, will speak on nuclear arms control and the ''Soviet threat" this week at the University of Oregon during Ground Zero Week: What About the Russians? Ground Zero Week, April 24-30, will feature free lectures, and fil~s at the U of 0 campus. Laurence Beilenson, a lawyer, is the author of three books, including The Treaty Trap and Survival and Peace in the Nuclear Age. His views on Russia have been a major influence on President Reagan. Beilenson's free lecture is Sunday, April 24, at 1 p.m. in 150 Geology. Featured at 8 p.m. on Monday, April 25, is Arthur Macy Cox, a former SALT II consultant. In his book, Russian Roulette: The Superpower presents Cox Game, ''practical evidence that the Soviets will work ' with us to save humanity from the nuclear abyss,'' says Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Harrison Salibury. Cox has authored or co-authored six books on arms control issues and has been a syndicated columnist in over 200 news papers. His free talk will be in 150 Geology.

The week-long event is coordinated by United Campuses to Prevent Nuclear War and the Washington, D.C.-based Ground Zero Foundation. predecessors, The Meaning of Life follows no one theme. No King Arthur or Brian or policeman's ball holds this film together; it attempts to get its message across without relying on a central character or logical series of events. In fact, the film is quite a bit like a Monty Python episode: Bits and pieces coming together to form that intangible known as "entertainm ent." But stretching it out over two hours, as John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman and Gilliam attempt to do, is pushing a good thing too far. Directed by Jones and written by the entire company, The Meaning of Life is marvelous , if you like a ''hodgepodg e'' feeling while watching a movie. From the scene where a British captain asks his troops what they'd rather be doing than marching (they tell him, and he lets them do it) to a question addressed to Palin -- "Don't you want to know the meaning of life? (he says "no") -- the film is an excellent example of.episodic humor. But its message is often obscured by the confusion inherent in films of its type. The Meaning of Life's point is simple: If people are allowed to be themselves, and live their lives as they see fit, things should come out all right in the end. Unfortunately, even a theme of that simplicity will fight a losing battle when it's forced to overcome a plot which heavily favors "bits and pieces" and in the process loses sight of the overall theme. In the end, although the humorous bits are sometimes worth it, The Meaning of Life is just too hard to muddle through. (The Meaning of Life is currently playing at the McDonald Theatre, 1010 Willamette, Eugene.) 'FACES on FILE Amy Steffenson LCC student Amy Steffenson, an advertising representative for the TORCH, has won Oregon's Outstanding College Student Sales award for 1982. The award was a complete surprise to Steffenson who didn't even realize she was in the competition until she received a phone call informing her that she'd won. Dick Eno, an LCC business instructor, entered Steffenson in the contest after seeing her final presentation in his Selling class. Steffenson attributes the award to the high score she received on her final • project and to her advertising sales experience. In addition to her TORCH work, Steffenson holds a job as a sales representative for Carpets by Stuart. She was recently promoted and says that's partly due to the award. Eventually, Steffenson wants to work for a full-service advertising company that has "big" businesses as clients. Steffenson plans to work for future awards.

Hood Relays in Gresham last weekend. The Titans scored 106 points en route to the title, competing against Bellevue, Linn-Benton, Mt. Hood, Spokane, and Tacoma CCs. They set four school and four meet records and placed first or second in 10 of 13 events. The Titans took two of three weight events at the Relays: Kurt Denny won the shot put, sending the shot 58 feet across the Saints' turf for a meet record. Denny also placed second in the discus with a toss of 144' 9". Scott Polen hurled the hammer 130' 2", nearly three feet farther than his nearest competitor. Ed Grover tied with Todd Post of Southwestern Oregon for second in the high jump. Both mastered the bar at 6', 8 3/4". Doug Ritchie moved through the triple jump field from seventh to second place on his last attempt of the day to leap 47' 3/4". The team of D. J. Branson, Mark Danif, Mike Ewing and Marty Grant set a meet record in the 800-meter relay with a time of 1:27. The sprint medley team of Grant, Mike Hedlind, Marty Hemsley and Craig Loper edged reigning meet record holder Bellevue with a new record time of 3:52.12. The distance medley meet record also fell at the hands of the Titans. The veteran team of Nate Morris, Andy Noble, Cory Randall and Bob Shifter recorded a time of 10:03.36. The 400 and 6400-meter relay teams each placed second to Bellevue, with times of 41.53 and 17:07 .20 respectively. TEAM SCORING -- Lane I06, Bellevue 98, Mt.

Women's track team makes good showing at Mt.Hood Relays by Lucy Hopkins TORCH Staff Writer LCC women's track coach Lyndell Wilken partially attributed warm weather to her team's good showing last weekend at the Mt. Hood Relays in Gresham. Sunny skies and a warm wind provided the perfect setting for one of the Titans' best meets of the season. Two LCC records were broken during the Relays, in which the Titans placed fourth behind host Mt. Hood, Spokane and meet champion Bellevue CCs. LCC's 3200-meter relay team placed second behind Bellevue, breaking a school record in the event with a time of 9:23.25. The team was made up of four freshmen: Shirley Gregerson, Jeannie Higinbotham, Pam Vasey and Julie Zeller. Another Titan mark fell in the 800-meter relay. The team of Debbie Dailey, Michelle Emery, Mary Ficker and Juanita Nelson completed the event with a time of 1:47.47. Javelin thrower Cindy Ballard threw the spear 126' 6'', her best this season and good for a fourth-place finish. Two Titan competitors were m1ssmg from the meet: Suzy Darby, who is suffering from a case of shin splints; and Vickie Spiekerman, who was held out of the Relays in preparation for the OCCAA and Region 18 heptathlon at Linn-Benton CC April 19-20 in Albany. The LCC women's track and field team will meet LinnBenton, Blue Mountain and Treasure Valley community colleges in a four-way meet at the BMCC campus in Pendleton Saturday.

The Internationals held a 2-0 lead at intermission. At the start of the second half the Internationals came out charging like wounded lions. But the Titan defense, led by Daniel Corona and Emmanuef Okpere warded off their onslaughts. LCC's strong defensive effort finally caved in halfway through the half as the Internationals got past defenderturned-goalkeeper Bill Blok for four goals.

The ASLCC unanimously decided not to endorse any individual candidates as there are a number of 1982-83 Senate members running. Instead, it is our intention to simply wish everyone involved the best of luck and may · the best candidates win! We are still looking for people to staff the voting booth and help with other election duties. Phone Kelly McLaughlin or Laura Powell in the ASLCC office or stop by (room 479, Center Building) and leave your name and number. , • The ASLCC would like to thank all of the people who made Earth Week a success. In particular: Thanks go to Michael Blackburn, Roger Fisher, Bryan Moore, Blueaura .Meadow and Stephen. Wysong for the many hours they put in arranging speakers, displays and informational booths. • Convicted draft resister Ben Sasway will speak in room 308 of the Forum Building Friday, April 22 at 10 a.m. A benefit dinner in Ben's honor will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. that evening at the Latin American Center, 1236 Kincaid St. The benefit is co-sponsored by the ASLCC, the Coalition Opposing Registration and the Draft (CORD), and Students Opposing Registration and the Draft.

Bryan Moore. • ROTC seems to be a finished ASLCC issue, at least for this Administration. We'd like to thank all of you who helped out with our bake sale, leafletting and other activities aimed at stopping ROTC. It is with some amount of pride that we remind students that there was money earned to support this fight and that no LCC general fund monies were used. • The next ASLCC Senate meeting is Monday, May 2 at 3 p.m. in the Administration Building boardroom. -Classifieds------------For Sale- FLOPPY DISKS -- 5 1/4 inch, $25 for box of JO, $2. 75 each.
