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 ,

''The sooner we can as

"We're trying to be =sensitive to (staff conce;nsf by

said, adding that he will probably have his questionnaire

and a decision made on
whether or not LCC
paychecks can be picked up in

May.

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.

water for irrigating Rajneeshpuram's croplands. The

Voters mus.t be ,on the lookout
Commentary by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor

They'rl,!

adve{tisments proclaiming the benefits

character that will make him or her a
gopd. ASLCC officer? To reach out
atjp:~~ommunica~e. with "people?"
1¢re are a m1lhon better ways, realh(~And although campaign parapherq4}i~ definitely has its place in the
wlitical scheme of things, we as voters
~t be on the lookout for what's
beftind - the words, behind the

guarantees of "experience" and "a
new approach," phrases commonly
tossed about by would-be officers.
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."

To the Editor

"1983 may be the year for

Jerry Weller of the so-called

(Gay Community News,

Margie Hendriksen passes.

If you think the ordinance

was bad, then get a load of
Section 7 of SB 435 which
reads ''To eliminate the effects

action by employers, labor

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 Republicans in this state oppose legislation such as this. I
wonder why Ms. Hendriksen

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."

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

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

Job less gather at forum
At first it was the atmosphere.
Hard-hatted construction workers and
those of less apparent vocations mingled;
mothers and fat hers with children sat on the
grass, eating sandwiches in the sunshine and
comparing stories.
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.

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

Laurence Beilenson, a
lawyer, is the author of three
books, including The Treaty

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

papers. His free talk will be in
150 Geology.

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.)

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. She says the awards

LCC men take team championship
by Lucy Hopkins

TORCH Staff Writer

LCC's men's track squad
took advantage of good
weather and a competitive atmosphere in taking the team
championship at the Mt.
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. Hood 84, Spokane

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.

LCC Soccer -Club's stro.ng
defense falls in -city match
by .Emmanuel Ukpere

The Titans fought vigorously in the first stanza despite
missing four of their stars due
• to injuries. 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 Titans will challenge the
Ramblers Football Club at
5:30 p.m. today at Monroe
Middle School.

• As most of you know: The ASLCC elections are
upon us, posters are up and rhetoric is flying fast. 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. Cost will be $3.50 to $5 with proceeds going to the San Diego Draft Resistance Fund and the El
Salvador Relief Fund. The ASLCC is proud of the work
done for this benefit by Sen. 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.
