For May primary

Tax base election proposed

by Chris Gann
TORCH Editor

A proposal for a new tax
base election, the selection of
LCC as administrator of a new
state program, a studentinitiated petition drive, and a
clean financial diagnosis
highlighted the Board of
Education meeting Wednesday night.
The tax base
After studying a proposal
that would ask voters to approve a $2 million tax base increase the board asked college
officials to begin preparation
for a May primary election.
The current tax base of
$10.6 million was approved in
November, 1980. A November
1982 bid for a tax base of
$12.5 million was unsuccessful. The new proposal calls
for the college to once again
ask for a $12.5 million base.
If successful, the new tax
base would increase the college
1984-85 general fund budget
by about eight percent.
Pres. Eldon Schafer said a
successful election would completely restore the $1.3 million
cut in state appropriation the

college suffered during
1981-83 State Legislative biennium. To date, about 77 percent of the cuts have been
restored by an increased state
appropriation, yearly six percent tax base increases, and
lower inflation.

Cutler program head
Pres. Eldon Schafer announced that LCC has been
selected to administer a
$850,000 program that will institute business assistance
centers on all 15 Oregon community college campuses. Sandy Cutler, Business Assistance
Center director, will take a
temporary leave to become the
chief administrator of the project, but continue to work out
of the Downtown Center.
Schafer explained that the
state legislature appropriated
$500,000 for the business
development program. The remainder of the money came
from a . $350,000 matching
grant from the federal government.
LCC's Business Assistance
Center (BAC) is being used as
a model for the other community college BACs, Schafer
says. He also noted that of 26

states that have federally funded business development programs Oregon is the only one
to have a community college
as an administrator.
Initiative petition
Students Larry Mann and
Tim Chase, who oppose increased fees for the student
photo ID program, presented
Vice President Jack Carter
with a petition asking for
another vote on the matter
before Spring Term registration.
College finances "solid"

Although LCC suffered cutbacks in state appropriations
from 1981 to 1983 "The financial condition of this institution has never been better,''
said Vice President for Administrative Services Bill
Berry.
Susan Ralls of Cooper and
Lybrand, the college auditing
firm, explained that the financial "good health" of the college is in part due to decreasing bond debt.
In other business last night,
the newest board member,
Barbara Doster, was sworn into office.

With the resignations of Dena/i's editor, art editor and
production manager, the magazine's staff is in "turmoil" acting Editor Scott Simpson told the Media Commission Friday.
The special session was called to appoint a successor to Patty McDonald, who resigned as editor la~t December, citing
financial difficulties.
But Simpson told commission members that the resignations, "personality conflicts," and "lack of time to get the
staff together'' have made it impossible to produce a quality
magazine by its spring deadline. He suggested suspending
publication until next school year.
Dena/i's stated goal is to "publish quality writing,
photography and artwork for the LCC reading audience.''
The magazine's guidelines state that the publication is to be
produced at least twice each school year. In the past that
obligation has generally been met with the printing of one or
two small publications during Fall and Winter Terms, and a
high quality magazine in the Spring. So far this year,
however, Dena/i's staff has only managed to produce a poster
and some Christmas cards.
Because of the difficulties that the staff is facing, Simpson
and Denali advisors, Peggy Marston and Chuck Ruff, suggested that the commission postpone naming a new editor,
and form an ad hoc committee to reassess the purpose and
function of the magazine.
''The magazine needs to have structure and legitimacy,''
said Marston. "We need to take a little time out and
brainstorm" what that structure might be.
Ruff agreed with the proposal to reassess the publication,
but said, "Denali just may be a white elephant. We ought to
think about what that elephant costs.''
A motion was made to:
• Form an ad hoc committee to examine the issue,
• Suspend publication for the remainder of the year, and
• Carry forward the $700 remaining in the budget to next
year, if the magazine is still in existence.
However, the motion was tabled because commission
guidelines stipulate that major motions may not be made and
acted upon in the same meeting.
In other business, the Media Commission elected Cathy
Benjamin to the position of chairperson.
The Media Commission will again take up the subject of
Denali in its next meeting, Friday, Jan. 13, at 2 p.m. in the
LCC Boardroom.

Twins go tothe seashore

/

?"~

Oh, what a lovely scene it was in the
Bobbsey family home. Father and
Mother Bobbsey and the two , sets of
twins -- Ned and Nan and little Freddy
and Flossie -- were:gathered about the
fireplace, roasting old chestnuts ..
"Well, well," s-a-ic;l Father, "we have
much to be thankful for. Our overwhelming victory in Grenada has reestablished our position as the world's
greatest power and the White House
has announced our boys will be out of
the trenches there any day now.''
"How nice," said Mother. "And
where will they go then?"
"Nicaragua, of course," said Father
firmly. ''That, too, is a hotbed of
hemispheric subversion overrun with
Cuban Communists and we must
rescue our fellow American citizens.''
'' Are they in danger, Father?'' asked
Ned.
''They will be when we invade,'' said
Father.
''Oh, I do hope our boys are not sent
to Nicaragua," said Nan, who had a
big heart. "It is so hot and mountainous there. The waters are rife with
strange diseases and the jungles with
ferocious guerillas."
"Oooo, gorillas!" cried Flossie,
covering her eyes with her hands.

Division and the Second Marine
Brigade would be an unfair match for
the ticket takers at Whoopeeland. I say
we should invade Bermuda instead.''
"Yes, yes!" chimed in little Flossie,
bouncing up and down. "Let's go to
•
the seashore."

Father laughed. "If not Nicaragua,
then," he said, "where should we go
next?"
"Whoopeeland!" shouted irrepressible Freddy, who dearly loved
that fun-filled children's attraction.
"We can rescue all the people on the

said manly Ned. ''The 82d Airborne

Mother smiled. "Now, now
children, not so fast,'' she said as she
opened her knitting bag and drew forth
a packet of gaily-colored folders.
"Here are travel brochures for some of
the many, many places we can choose
from."
There was much clapping of hands
and squealing with delight as the
brochures were passed around. Father
picked one up and carefully studied the
scantily clad bathing beauties therein
depicted. "Harrumph," he said. "The
beaches of Monaco look quite inviting."
Mother took the folder from him
and shook her head. "I fear there is
not a Cuban to be seen there,'' she
said.
''If we must have a place with lots of
Cubans,'' said Nan, who had a logical
bent of mind, ''why don't we invade
Cuba?"
"I don't think we want that many
Cubans," said Father.
Mother held up a brochure. "I do
feel I have found it,'' she said. ''From
the photographs, it has a lovely
seashore, many, many American
students, thousancs of Cubans and an
airport that could very well be a
military base."
''That sounds like more fun than
Whoopeeland,'' said Freddy eagerly.

"What is its name, Mother?" Mother turned the
brochure over. "Florida," she said.
Father patted her head. ''Well, I do suppose
we could evacuate the American students there to
Grenada," he said. "But I see no reason to rush
our decision. Let us just be thankful for our
blessings.''
"I am thankful, Father," burbled little Flossie
as she happily sifted through the brochures. "I
am thankful we still have 17 5 countries left to

; -----------Letters--Murmurers -scourge of
civilization
To the Editor:

Militant feminism is
destroying America as the
scourge of decency and civility. In the last two decades we
have seen a dramatic increase
in broken homes, spouse and

child abuse and sex crimes,
which has just about kept pace
with women's decision to wear
pants.
Jude 16 in the Bible prophetized of militant feminists
as follows:
''These are murmurers,
complainers, walking after
their own lusts; and their
mouth speaketh great swelling
words, having men's persons
in admiration because of advantage."

Deuteronomy 22:5 is God's
admonition against uni-sex
and Jude 6-16 is the shameful
result. Jesus strove against
feminism and even said to His
mother: "Woman, what have
I to do with thee?'' And for
His crucifiers He said:
"Father, forgive them, for
they know not what they do."

ble, or we can continue to let
TV hype lead us to the
slaughter. But our salvation
can only come about through
believing that Bible prophecy
was meant for the latter times
-- NOW. (I Timothy 4:1)

We can rebuild America
with the only true word of
God, the 161 I King James Bi-

ASLCC Vice President

As your new ASLCC
Vice President, I feel it is
important to introduce
myself to you. I consider
myself a survivalist and a
jill-of-all-trades. I have
completed the first year

' I am here for you'

New ASLCC Vice President

Auto Mechanics program at
LCC. My current major is
political science.
One of the major duties
assigned to the vice president is to be your ombudsperson. What does this
mean and how does it affect
you?
An ombudsperson, according to Webster's
Unabridged 20th Century
Dictionary is ''an appointed
public official who investigates activities of
government agencies that
infringe on the rights of individuals."
What this means for you
is that I am your grievance
officer. It is my job to act as
an intermediary between
you, the student, and the
people on this campus who
have authority over you.
When problems, arise, I am
a peer available to help
create dialogue and settle
differences.

cirprimary
The
cumstances in which an ombudsperson is useful center
around communication
barriers that develop in the
classroom. On any campus
there are instructors who
lapse into teaching methods
that inhibit learning -- not
necessarily intentionally. A
common defense in these
situations is a policy of
academic freed om for instr uc tors. This covers
course content and does not
cover teaching methods.
Events occur in which
students have valid complaints and fears -- fear of
feeling alone regarding the
problem; fear of authority
figures; fear of being labeled a troublemaker; fear of
repercussions, reflected in
grades; fear of making a
bad situation a totally
unbearable situation.
Sometimes these factors,
the
with
combined

pressures of a required
course and no option of
other instructors, work
together to discourage
students from trying to
make corrections.
This is where my role of
ombudsperson or grievance
officer fits in.
I am aware of the common threads that are part of
students'everyday lives. In
addition, I have become
knowledgeable in the
technical aspects of
grievances. I can help you
to determine if your concerns constitute a valid
complaint.
The first step in making
corrections is to speak with
the offending party. It is extremely beneficial to have
another student with you
for support, as a witness,
and to help with the discussion. That is exactly why I
am here for you. When approached with respect and

diplomacy, people are commonly able to resolve conflicts at this level. If the
complaint needs to be formalized into a grievance, I
can help you deal with the
procedures, meetings, and
support systems.
If you have concerns
about possible abuses of
authority in the classroom
or by any perso~ with
authority over you at LCC,
it is important that you contact me. I can help you with
the information you need to
decide your course of action.
You are welcome to come
up and chew the fat even if
you have no gripes. My office is in Center 479E. My
office hours are: M, 1-3
p.m.; W, 1-4 p.m.; H, 9-10
a.m. I can be reached at ext.
2332.
May you have your best
term ever!

Phone rate hike postp oned
by Chris Gann

TORCH Editor

A recent ruling by the
Public Utilities Commissioner
has eased student government
and college officials concern
about increased phone costs in
fiscal year 1983-84.
In late December thenPublic Utilities Commissioner
John Lobdell ruled that
Pacific Northwest Bell could
not implement ''measured service" billing to its business
customers until July 1.
(Lobdell resigned from the
post at the end of the year.)
PNB had asked for the billing
change to go into effect Jan. 1.
The measured-service rates for
local calls will be based on a
mileage rate like long distance
calls.
This year ASLCC budgeted
$800 for its nine telephones -six ASLCC office phones and
the three phones provided
without direct charge to LCC

students. If the new rates were
in effect Sen. John Morgus
estimates that one student
phone would cost ASLCC
$469 per month.
Because the new phone rate
will not go into effect until
summer, ASLCC will continue
to maintain its three student
phones through Spring Term,
says Morgus. Senate members
had feared that the increased
charges on local calls would
prohibit ASLCC from funding
the phones after Fall Term,
1983.
The prospect of phone rates
increasing in the middle of the
fiscal year had worried college
officials, too.
At the December Board of
Education meeting Vice President for Administrative Services Bill Berry estimated the
1984-85 college phorte bills will
increase about 20 percent over
this year's $100,000 bill
because of the new rates.

Contacted this week about
the rate postponement, Berry
said "We love it."
The mid-year rate-hike was
"something we were not looking forward to. . . . " The
postponement gives college
administrators more time to
plan for the increases and incorporate them into the
1984-85 budget document.
Current policy states that
use of college telephones for
personal business is not acceptable. But Berry says officials
realize employees occasionally
have personal business that
must be tended to, or
emergencies that require them
to use the phone during working hours. He calls phone use
for personal business a
''potential problem,'' but says
if a six-month review shows
phones are not being abused,
the college will not change the
way it bills departments.

AT&T service tips
The divestiture of AT&T has brought changes in the way
phone customers start phone service, lease or buy equipment,
and have phones repaired says AT&T.
Customers who wish to start phone service must now make
two calls -- one to Pacific Northwest Bell (PNB) for basic service, and one to AT&T, or a competitor for equipment.
AT&T now owns the Phone Center stores formerly owned by
PNB. Customers can still lease and buy AT&T phones, add additional phones to existing seryice, have phones tested and
repaired at the centers.
Depending upon the problem, a phone may be repaired by
AT&T or PNB. If the trouble is on the line -- the wires that connect homes or offices with the central office -- PNB will make
the repairs. AT&T, however, will make repairs on AT&T
telephone sets.
AT&T suggests these tips to help customers tell whether the
trouble is on the line or on the telephone set:
• Line problems usually affect all the phones in your home and
include noise and static on all phones, not being able to call in or
out on all phones, or not being able to hear or be heard on all
phones.
• Telephone set problems -- sticking buttons or dial, frayed
cords, or a sticking switchook -- are most often related to one
phone.
To identify whether the problem is in the set or the line, try
unplugging the phone and replacing it with a different phone. If
the problem goes away, it's probably the set.

Women win first two
in conference b-ball
by Nick Garman

TORCH Staff Writer

After an easy 70-42 victory
over Western Oregon's JV

came after former vice president Kevin Taylor resigned at
the end of Fall Term.
Last week Taylor said he
resigned to give more time to
his studies. But this week he
volunteered other reasons that
promoted the resignation -namely personality conflicts,
and differences of political
philosophy with Pres. Bryan
Moore. He .also alleged that
Moore excluded him from certain off campus and out-ofstate student government activities of which he believed he
should have been a part.
''The situation was not any
specific thing, but overall. It
was more the atmosphere that
was created," Taylor said.
Travel expenditures restricted

In other action the Senate
approved (5-4-1) Treasurer
Cristi Becker's motion that all
travel expenditures require
Senate approval and specify
the exact amount to be spent.
The travel account budget
of $2,000 was O'{erdrawn this
fall. A transfer of $2,500 from
the contingency fund covered
a $923 deficit. Although outof-state travel required ap-

proval by the Senate, in-state
travel was exempt.
Sen. Cindy Weeldryer
favored the move to control
in-state travel because ''The
plan we have now is not working ... "
Student Activities Director
Jay Jones said the new rule
was not really necessary if the
Senate
would
take
"responsible action" and
make travel decisions based on
"what is essential" (sending
only one or two people to
meetings off campus) -- not on
"what's nice to have"
(sending a larger group).
The Senate also heard
Senator John Morgus' report
that ASLCC will be able to
maintain the . student phones

A hearing on claims brought
by 13 former and present LCC
employees who say they were
injured by fumes in the Health
Building was postponed Monday to give attorneys time to
discuss a possible settlement.
Eight women filed claims
with the State Accident Inusurance Fund Corp. in
March 1981, alleging that the
neurological damage from
which they suffer is a jobrelated disability. The SAIF
Corp disallowed the claims
that summer.
The women, however, appealed to the Workers Compensation Board. Since then,
five other LCC employees
joined the case.
Eugene lawyer Jane Bolin,
who represents the claimants,
said the hearing before a stateappointed hearings officer was
scheduled to begin Monday in
the LCC Boardroom. But the
hearing was postponed pending settlement negotiations
between attorneys for SAIF
Corp. and for the claimants.
No new hearing date has been
set.
The claimants say they have
''peripheral
developed
neuropathy,'' a nervoussystem disorder characterized
in part by numbness and tingling in the hands and feet,
because they have breathed air
they believe contains toxic
stubstances.
College officials, however,
argue that experts who have
investigated the building's air
have't found anything that
would cause the medical problems the women are experiencing.
An air test conducted in
April 1983 at the request of the
college administration and
faculty union concluded that
the building's air is within acceptable limits of aniline,
arsenic, flouride, methyl
bromide, methly isobutyl
ketone and methylene
chloride .

Martin Luther King, Jr.,
Beyond Vietnam

On April 4, 1967, exactly one year before his
murder, Martin Luther King delivered his
speech, "Beyond Vietnam,,, at Riverside
Church in New York City.
Following is the closing portion of that speech
(reprinted courtesy of Clergy and Laity Con- ·
cerned), in which King makes the connection •
between US foreign policy, and human rights
at home.
In 1957 a sensitive American official overseas said
that it seemed to him that our nation was on the
wrong side of a world revolution. During the past I0
years we have seen emerge a pattern of suppression
which now has justified the presence of U.S. military "advisors" in Venezuela. This need to .maintain
social stability for our investments accounts for the
counter-revolutionary action of American forces in
Guatemala. It tells why American helicopters are
being used against guerrjllas in Colombia and why
American napalm arr<Y green beret forces have
already been active against rebels in Peru. It is with
such activity in mind that the words of the late John
F. Kennedy come back to haunt us. Five years ago
he said, "Those· who make peaceful revolution
impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

Jan.1~

An excerpt from a speech by

Increasingly, by choice or by accident, this is the
role our nation has taken-the role of those who
make peaceful revolution impossible by refusing to
give up the privileges and the pleasures that come
from the immense profits of overseas investment.

We must rapidly begin the shift from
a ''thing-oriented society to a
"person-oriented" society. When
machines and computers, profit
motives and property rights are considered more important than people,
the giant triplets of racism,
materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.
I am convinced that if we are to get on the right
side of the world revolution, we as a nation·must
undergo a radical revolution of values. We must
rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented"
society to a "person-oriented" society. When
machines and computers, profit motives and property rights ate considered more important than
people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism,
and militarism are incapable of being conquered.
True revolution of value will soon cause us to
question the fairness and justice of many of our past
and present policies. On the one hand we are called
to play the Good Samaritan on life's roadside; but
that will be only an initial act. One day we must
come to see that the whole Jericho_Road must be
transformed so that men and women will not be
constantly beaten and robbed as they make their
journey on Life's highway. True compassion is more
than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard
and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which
•produces beggars needs re-structuring. A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous
indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums
of money in Asia, Africa and South America, only
to take the profits out with no concern for the social
betterment of the countries, and say: "This is not
just." It will look at our alliance with the landed
gentry of Latin America and sav: "This is not just."

The Western arrogrance of feelin1

This call for a world-wide fellowship that lifts

and cowardly force, has now become an absolute
necessity for the survival of man. When I speak of

be that the forces of American life militate against

regrets?Or wil1 there be another message, oflonging,

TORCH Associate Editor

In an attempt to bring Martin Luther King's legacy closer to
home, the TORCH talked to some members of LCC's black community, to get their impressions of the man and his effeet on today's society.
At the age of 19, Kent Gorham, interim director of LCC's
Multicultural Center, took part in King's 1963 March on
Washington. Being with the crowd of 250,000 showed him "there
were a lot of people who wanted to participate, demonstrate,
listen.''
For Gorham, King was "an individual who challenged injustice
in many forums and many forms. He began with a _racial movement and moved on from there.'' King believed in using nonviolent tactics against those injustices, says Gorham, but "his
nonviolence was not out of fear, but moral courage. In disobeying
unjust laws, he graphically suffered the consequences -- beatings,
jailings, dogs, and murder -- but other people were also affected
•by seeing that process.''
Gorham believes that King was a man who took on a task that
history gave him and accomplished a lot in the 39 years of his life.
But, says Gorham, "There's a lot of unfinished work -- because
of his untimely death -- for others to carry out.''
Student Activities Director Jay Jones criticizes the media for
only showing interest in the issues that affect black people, ''when
they can make news out of it.'' He says ''the media comes around
only once a year to find o·ut what we think about (these issues).
Then the paper goes into the archives until next year." Meanwhile, he thinks important questions, such as affirmative action
compliance, are ignored.
LCC Black Student Union President John Bolden, who was
seven years old -when King was murdered, says "King's dream was
not forgotten, and it still has a strong affect on everybody today."
He believes the social and political climate is worsening for
black people, "but they're saying, 'We came this far, Martin
Luther King died, and we're not going to sit around and let it happen again.' ''
Nigel Griffith, director of the Student Resource Center, was
only 11 years old, and was living in Guyana, South America,
when Dr. King was shot, but he says, "King was a hero even to us
there. When we learned about important Americans, we learned
more about him than about people like Jefferson."
By the time Griffith was in high school, in the US, he was able
to put King's life and death in perspective, and he became
frustrated and angry with barriers against social change. Martin
Luther King ''was the ultimate proponent of nonviolent change,
and he got assassinated. Black people's efforts were stymied even
when they tried nonviolent means" of changing their situation.
Today, Griffith's frustration and anger persists, because he sees
the nation's priorities of the sixties, such as affirmative action, being "put on the back burner. So many resources," he says, "are
going into areas that directly contradict the unfolding of black
people's potential in this country."
Eugene Minority Commission Chairperson Coralie
Washington, who is a business student at LCC, says King changed
her life. "He had a vision that it was possible to change the world
if we would stick together," she says. He taught her that "you
must have a vision and must have a dream, or you will never
realize reality.''
King's dream, says Washington, "was of a rainbow coalition of
all people -- black, white, Hispanic, Asian, and native American
-- who will work together to steer the nation away from despair,
hunger and destruction. We the people were left here to carry on
his struggle to form a new 'coalition of consciousness' in a day
when our time has arrived ... for the struggle has just begun."

located here, the formation of
numerous local performing
arts groups committed to excellence, and the widespread
community support of the arts
which eventually culminated
in the construction and operation of the Hult Center for the
Performing Arts.
The exhibit's design reflects
this growth of performing arts
in Eugene. The chronologically arranged images are few in
number initially, then "burst
into a dynamic, multidimensional collage of
photographs, costumes and
cutouts, depicting the most recent era's activities. It is a
vibrant heritage which this exhibit makes visible,'' says Partridge.

• Mayor John D. Lively of Springfield has written the college "to offer my congratulations and support for the job you and your staff are doing ... With the
troubled times we are going through, it is very satisfying to see the success Lane
Community has achieved this past year. The breadth of the programs and the professional level at which they are conducted has been a real bright spot in all our efforts towards economic development."
• Two LCC staff members -- Mabel Armstrong, who heads Science, and Anne
Stewart, who coordinates Staff Development -- have been chosen from among
women nationwide to participate in a leadership training program. The program,
"Leaders for the 80's," is designed to help community college women assume major policy-making positions during the decade. It is funded through a grant from ]

of Women in Community and Junior Colleges. Both Armstrong and Stewart are
paired with mentors at LCC to work on research projects that will benefit LCC.
They also will participate in special regional workshops and national conferences.
Their projects? Mabel Armstrong will coordinate a study of administrative structures of instructional offices around the country. Working with mentor Gerald
Rasmussen, vice president of instruction, and associate deans of instruction, Armstrong may develop an alternative structure for LCC, which she would recommend
to the administration and board. Anne Stewart will survey computer literacy programs in schools belonging to the League for Innovation, and may use her information to develop an improved program for LCC staff. Her mentor will be Jim
Ellison, associate dean of instruction, and she will work with the New Technology

RETIREMENTS
• Frances Howard, director of Financial Aid, is retiring. Linda Waddell took

over as director Monday morning, Jan. 9. Howard submitted the following
farewell note: "After 181/2 years at Lane Community College, I feel as an 18 year
old must feel -- I'm anxious to make that next step and experience all the joys and
adventure of whatever is next, but it's painful to leave the warmth and love of
friends and experiences I've had here. Someone has said it this way, 'If it were not
for the joy of being with those we love, there would be no pain in parting.' My
thanks to so many of you for your support, encouragement and friendship during
these years at LCC. Although I've enjoyed my work here, it's time to change. I'm
looking forward with real anticipation to the days ahead when I'll have time for
the things I enjoy so much -- time for friends, time for projects, time for my grandchildren, and time for all those things that make life important and meaningful.
Many of my very warm thoughts will remain here among you."
• Dick Earl, formerly director of alternative programs at LCC, retired Jan. 1.
He joined the college in 1970, and now goes on medical leave until official retirement in March 1985. In a note to employees in the programs with which he worked, Earl thanked them "for making my LCC experience most gratifying and worth
every moment shared with you." Earl worked with Adult Basic Education, Adult
High School Completion, English as a Second Language, Life Experience Assessment Program, and the Work Activity Center. Before coming to LCC, Earl worked with the Oregon Department of Education. He started his career teaching in
Sherman County, and later was superintendent of schools in the Dalles. Earl
elaborated on his retirement plans in the note to staff. "Believe me, I'll miss you
and our colleagues and LCC enormously. But I'll try not to let the kind of real
sadness I'm experiencing at this moment interfere with my fishing, woodworking,
•
camping, biking, gardening, soap-watching, or long winter naps."
• Plant Services Director Walt Van Orden retired at the end of last year, having
served LCC for 17 years. He told the Torch he expects to spend some retirement
time in Arizona. Plant Services has been combined with Facilities to become Campus Services, headed by Paul Colvin.

New contract lowers LCC's
video game pl'aying profits
by Holly Halverson

TORCH Staff Writer

Are you playing fewer games of
"Centipede" or "Jungle King" in the PE
lobby? If so, you may be playing a small role
in decreasing the funds that support collegesponsored student performances and athletic
events, because video games fund those activities.

•••

The loss in revenue caused games owner
Amusement Unlimited, Inc. to request a new
contract with LCC says Vice President fo.r
Student ~ervices Jack Carter.

u

The new contract, effective September
1983, gives 50 percent, or $600 of the profits
whichever is greater to LCC -- the rest goes
to the company. The old contract alloted
$1,000 a month to LCC and the remainder to
the company, regardless of the total amount
of profits made.
Carter doesn't believe this is a drastic cut;
he says it has affected the departments involved "a little" but isn't causing major
concern.

by Frank Nearing

TORCH Staff Writer

During Fall term's finals
week, Randy Enders, a parttime student, underwent an
emergency appendectomy at
Sacred Heart Hospital. His
one-night stay at the hospital,
plus his surgery and medical
bills add up to almost $2,500.
Enders says his physical
condition is now on the upswing although his financial
condition has taken a temporary set-back. During
September registration he
chose not to buy student insurance which would have cost
him $32.15 for the term.
"When you're a student,"
says Enders, "you're scrimping for money and you think,
'well, there's $35 I can take
and enjoy myself. I'm healthy,
I'm not going to get sick.' You
just make yourself blind to the
situation.''
Enders has worked as a
Conservation Analyst for
EWEB since November, 1983.
He clears $1,200 monthly and
plans on paying $300 per
month on his account. His
goal for 1984 of "financial
solvency'' has been postponed.
He has nothing but high
praise for the Health Service
personnel at LCC who did the
initial diagnosis and then
drove him to the hospital. He
notes that the professionals
who took over at the hospital
were "great."
Enders was not alone in his
decision to not buy insurance.
Smith and Crakes, Inc., agents
for student insurance at LCC,
indicated that only 360
students (5 percent of the student population) bought insurance during September
registration.

The TORCH January 12-111, 1984 Page 11

Traffic fatalities increase slightly
Oregon's tentative 1983
traffic death toll has been set
at 550, a six percent increase
over 1982 when 518 deaths
. were reported.
Although the 1983 count
showed an increase over the
previous year, it was . the
state's second-lowest toll since
1962. The 1982 count was the

lowest in 20 years, according
to the Motor Vehicles Division.
The 1983 count included 66
pedestrians, 55 motorcyclists
and 16 bicycle riders. Bicyclist
fatalities increased from six
deaths reported a year ago to
16 in 1983. The motorcyclist
toll was the lowest since 1976
when 43 were killed. The

ASL CC to show
'Free Movie s'

pedestrian toll showed no
change.
The remaining 413 victims
died as drivers or passengers in
motor vehicles and that figure
represents a 7 .5 percent increase over last year.
Twenty percent of the victims (108 people) died in 45
multiple death crashes.

TORCH Editor

Full-length feature films will be shown on a weekly basis
beginning J:'riday.
Cultural Director Stephen Wysong says the movie offerings
are an ''inexpensive way (for ASLCC) to offer students more
for their dollars." No admission will be charged to the movies
that will be shown .Friday afternoons at 2 and 5 p.m. in- the
Center Bldg. basement, room 9.
Wysong says ASLCC will rent the video reco'rdings for $2
to $5 apiece, then project them onto a large screen television.
He describes some of the films, selected by the ASLCC
Cultural Committee, such as Clockwork Orange and The
Wall, as "cult" films. Most films will be PG or R rated; no X
rated films will be shown. Wysong says he will arrange to
show G rated "family" films if students request them. He
says that students may call him at ext. 2332 to request family,
cult or any general entertainment films.
Movies. Wysong has scheduled are:
