Counseling
studies student retention rate
bv R. Wm. Gray

TORCH Staff Writer

The normal student dropout
rate at LCC averages 32 percent annually, according to
statistics gathered by the Student Retention Project (SRP).
Established in the spring of
1981, the SRP attempts to
evaluate -- and to remedy -the causes for such a steep attrition rate. One remedy is a
new Retention Referral Service. The other is an on-going
effort to make LCC staff
members, especially the faculty, aware of the problems that
force students to drop from
the class rolls.
Corilee Heinis, an academic
adviser in the Counseling
Department presently responsible for the SRP, says the
reasons for student attrition
are as varied as the students
themselves. Students' reasons
for leaving classes and school
range from finance and health
problems to academic difficulties and unrealistic personal expectations.
"It's not so much the cuts in
Financial Aid,'' she says, but
''money is a real big problem
with many LCC students."
Other, sometimes related problems, include changes in

employment, family obligations, a need to move to
another area. Problems with
study skills, poor attendance,
and poor teaching are causes.
So are students' inability to
keep up with stucues, his/ her
misunderstanding standards
of performance, and general
discouragement.
All these factors can interfere with or alter the orderly, term-by-term progression
through school, says Heinis.
But the key to retaining
college
is
students
"awareness" -- particularly
the awareness of instructors
wlio can detect students experiencing academic difficulties, missing classes, or
having other obvious problems. When instructors are
aware of likely problems,
Heinis says they should make
the "extra effort" to refer the
students to the Referral Service.
The instructor simply sends
a brief note to the counseling
Department that identifies the
student and his/her apparent
problems. Counseling personnel then attempt to make contact with the student and offer
assist~nce.
About 25 percent of the

VOTE
/..l

LCC instructors currently participate in the Referral Service,
and with positive results so
far: Heinis says between 18
and 25 percent of the students
referred to her for counseling
return to classes, and of those
who return to class, 70 percent
persist to the end of the term
and earn graded credit.
''Often, by the time the
referral is made and the adviser contacts the student,''
mourns Heinis, "the student
has already actively decided to
withdraw from school.
However, we believe the effort
is worthwhile and we plan to
continue the Retention Project, perhaps modifying as we
go, trying to majntain the service to our faculty, our
students and our community."
To help foster "awareness"
among the faculty and staff, a
recently formed Student
Retention Committee has
prepared an eight-minute
videotape titled, ''This Course
Is Cancelled.'' Produced by
Steven Vogler of the Performing Arts Department, the tape
outlines what college
employees can do to encourage students to remain in
class, and in school.

Bill Jennings and Mark Kossow won first place in the pumpkin
carving contest sponsored by Food Services.
by Richard Ho For the TORCH

"Ten dollars and four hours" was all that was needed to
transform an 80-pound pumpkin into a massive jack-o-lantern,
complete with a snout pierced with a silver ring.
Bill Jennings and Mark Kossow's pumpkin was one of 15 entries at the Pumpkin Carving Contest held on campus to
celebrate Halloween. There were also chef pumpkins (and rightly so, since the contest was sponsored by the Food Service
Management Program for its students), a lady jogger (complete
with head-band, shorts, tights and running shoes), and of course
Jennings and Kossow's "King Pagan," so large that the two
men "couldn't close the trunk" of their car.
The carved pumpkins drew enthusiastic crowds in the
cafeteria. One passerby was overheard saying, "There's a bigger
choice here than for the presidential election."
"King Pagan" eventually won Jennings and Kossow the first
prize, and dinner for two at the Coburg Inn.

Oregon's livability to be determined by voters Nov 6
Guest editorial by Mike Rose
(LCC representative on the
Oregon Committee - a coalition of educators working to
defeat Ballot Measure 2).
On Nov. 6, Oregon voters
will determine the economic
health and livability of our
state for the next decade when

"LCC would lose from
$5 to 6 million
they vote on Ballot Measure 2,
the one and one half percent
property tax limitation.
Through the initiative petition
process, proponents of the
measure have placed this constitutional measure before the
Oregon voters under the guise
of simple tax reform and the
return of local control.
In truth, Ballot Measure 2
represents a very complex plan
that slashes over 1/3 of the
revenues for all local services
without providing alternative
funding sources and turns over
to the legislature control of
local funding. Oregon AtDave
General
torney
Frohnmayer (in the longest
opinion in Oregon history)
stated of Measure 2, "It is
very complicated and despite
our best efforts many legal
questions about its implications would necessarily have to
be resolved by the courts. We
urge all Oregon citizens who
are concerned about the
educational system and
government services to inform
themselves carefully about
these many issues before the
November election.'' With
this admonition in mind, I
would like to examine the major features of Measure 2.
Ballot Measure 2 rolls back
taxable values of property to
the 1981 level and limits max-

imum total tax rate for all purposes to no more than one and
one half percent ($15 per thousand dollars of assessed
value). The first year the
measure requires that the
monies raised in a taxing
district be distributed according to 1983-84 proportions.
On average throughout the
state, this means all governmental agencies and school
districts receiving property tax
revenues will lose over 1/3
their operating budgets. Based
upon this required formula,
Eugene School District would
lose $21 million out of $47
million and LCC would lose
from 5 to 6 million. Clearly,
essential programs and services will have to be cut. With
the required percentage formula at work in the first year
and the legislature determining
local distribution rates
thereafter, this measure
eliminates local control.
Proponents of Measure 2
claim all the announced cuts in
school, city and county programs will not occur because

Ballot Measure 2 contains a 50
percent voter override provision.
If 50 percent of the
registered voters go to the
polls and vote on a specific
issue, and if 50 percent of
those voting plus 1 approve,
then voters in a district can impose taxes above. the 1/2 percent limitation.
That sounds good, but the
remains
provision
undemocratic and unworkable. Under this rule
"no" voters can prevent the
passage of levies by staying
home and not voting, thus giving the ''no'' voters a weighted
vote. Even if 49 percent of the
registered voters voted yes and
no one voted no, a measure
would still fail. A democratic
process should require equal
participation.
One of the practical problems with this provision exists because 10-20 percent of
the registered voters are not
available to vote. They may
have moved or died but still re-

main on the lists as registered
voters. By law, voters can be
purged from voting lists only
after two years of nc,n voting.

Ballot Measure 2 would slice

'No more re-Rons'

Reagan recites to 'patriotic' groups

Ronald Reagan held his last
news conference on July 24th.
As a result the White House
has, in effect, become a royal
sanctuary during the campaign, allowing King Ronald
to remain largely unquestioned on key issues. Only in the
two "debates" were Reagan
strategists forced to reveal to
the American public how
muddled, mean-spirited, confused, and uninformed the
President is on key domestic
and foreign-policy decisions.
But how well he and Good
Ol'Boy George wave the flag
and hide behind the cross.
What a collective sigh of relief
must have escaped his staff
and Southern Californiamillionaire Kitchen Cabinet
cronies at the end of the second debate. They know that
this joke and joker of a President can now _hide behind his
slick but empty ads and recite
his lines to only carefully
selected, ''patriotic'' audiences.
Real patriotism, however,
transcends the fantasy
escapism of Reagan's skilled
acting. True patriotism
depends upon our ability to
idenitfy key issues and examine the facts of his public
record.
Daniel Boorstein political
scientist, has described mediablitzed America as ''the most
illusioned society in the history
of the world." No wonder we
have an actor for President:
Reagan charms the unthinking
by changing political complexity to a fantasy that cuts
through the confusion of reality.
The real question in these
few remaining days is whether
the TV master-manipulator
can again at the expense of
America's self-interest and
that of the entire world make
chumps of the American people.

I've talked with many Christians (and many ''Christians'')
who believe that Ronald
Reagan represents their
values. Some are sheep happily awating the inevitable
slaughter of Armageddon.

Their negative helplessness I
classify as a form of mental illness. Others believe that they"
have a duty to impose official
prayer on public-school
children, still others that they
have a right to impose their
anti-abortion beliefs on those
who believe differently.
Reagan tells them what they
want to hear. I wonder,
however, what kind of Christianity he represents to his supporters. I find no evidence in
the Bible that Jesus recommends hating our "enemies,"
taking from the poor and giving to the rich, or placing faith
in violence and weaponry.
Such attitudes I consider profoundly anti-Christian.
When I examine his conduct
rather than swallow his campaign promises, I must conclude that Reagan's true
religion is being a millionaire.
His much-touted tax cuts are a
scam, granting enormous
loopholes to corporations and
his millionaire friends at the
expense of poor and middleclass citizens. The statistics are
available. The ''Give to the
Greedy'' mentality rides
again, this time behind the
mask of tax reform.
Reagan's actions consistently contradict his statements.
Remember his promise to
reduce the number of government employees? The number
of full-time federal employees
has increased by 23, 181 since
1980.
His campaigning as the
greatest tax-cutter in California's history? He was, in fact,
the greatest tax-hiker. His
1980 campaign promise to
balance the budget? Behaving
like a drunk with a credit card,
he more than quadrupled the
federal deficit.
His debate statement that '' I
feel as strongly as anyone
about the preservation of the
environment?" He appointed
destroyers of the environment
like James Watt to key positions in the agency designed to
protect it, and sold our natural
resources at bargain-basement
prices to his rich pals.
His foreign policy? Based

on Mafia tactics, it has made
the United States a bully
feared and hated throughout
the world. His War budget? A
national disgrace that bleeds
needed funds from Health,
Education, and Welfare from
those who need it most, gives
us $7,600 Air Force coffee
pots, and wastes money on expensive weapons systems that
even the military advised
against. And, if he is reelected,
his trillion-dollar Star Wars
scheme will turn the heavens
into the next battlefield.
His arms-race attitude?
Reagan is the only President
since 1952 who has failed to
produce a single arms control
agreement. In fact, he has
never supported any control
agreement ( even those
negotiated by Republican
Presidents), despite the polls
indicating that 80 percent of
the American people favor a
Nuclear Freeze.
If you want more of Jerry
Falwell's influence, more cuts
in education, Medicare, and
aid to the elderly, more
paranoia, hatred, divisiveness,
and greed in the world, vote
for Teflon Ron and Nerve-Gas
George. If you believe in
enriching the Rich as domestic
policy, supporting gangsters in
El Salvador, the Philippines,
and South Africa as foreign
policy, and as a first resort
relying on a "kick some ass"
philosophy as military policy,
then vote for these macho
military adventurers. They
won't be dying. Young
Marines will.
I say no Re-Rons. The joker
is no longer funny. Join me in
encouraging others to cast
their votes for Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro,
the next President and VicePresident of the United States
and at this time the most likely channels for positive national and world transformation. Above all, VOTE. Our
world, that of our children,
and our children's children
depends on our decency and
our informed common sense.

'Voter

To the Editor,

Life vs death

An excerpt from "Reagan
for Beginners," by David
Smith and Melinda Gebbie:
"Jobless, spiraling prices,
taxes, and global conflict
make voters insecure. They
tend to feel that if the welfare
state is not the answer, it may
be the problem. Skillful politicians, Reagan in particular,
offer an ingenious equation:
He promises more-- more
prosperity, security, and
freedom-- by means of less-less government. The irony is
that, in the name of prosperity
and security, Reagan ... (has)
been able to lead the public into higher joblessness, fewer
unemployment benefits, and
fewer services for the truly insecure.
Meanwhile, taxes have not
fallen for ordinary taxpayers.
Budgets are less balanced than
ever. The State grows wildly.
War~ have not become less
likely.'~
"Wars have not become less
likely'' is an understatement.
A nuclear confrontation with
the Soviet Union seems much
more likely. Do you feel safer
knowing that arms control
talks broke down last
December, President Reagan
has yet to even meet the Soviet
Premier, and the Soviets have
more · submarines bearing
nuclear weapons deployed
near our coast than ever
before? Has Reagan's massive
increase in military spending
and his "evil-empire" rhetoric
against the Soviet Union produced results? I think not. The
Soviets continue to build more
nuclear weapons, kill innocent
people in Afghanistan, and
imprison dissidents.
Reagan's domestic policies
are brutal and unfair; his
military and foreign policies
are dangerous and ineffective.
His administration has served
no one but big business and
the wealthy, and has brought

To the Editor,

Enthusiasm is not my innate
response to politics in general
and elections in particular.
The best intentions processed
through a party machine turn
into a generic product.
Various labels have the same
effect - little.
Inertia being the norm, I
have been normal for some
time. Recently, however, I'm
experiencing an odd sensation
- a blur in the distinction between TV and reality. I tune in
and the highest elected official
is little more than an inattentive gameshow host presiding
over a plutonium roulette on
autopilot. It doesn't take great
intuition to know the show
may be over sooner than
scheduled.
The discrepancy between
what presidents (or gameshow
hosts for that matter) say and
what is done in their name
isn't news. But with an atomic
clock closing on two minutes
to midnight, the schizm gains
consequence.
Pardon the following, but
an interesting thing happens
when tension goes critical in a .complex system like global
politics. As the larger structures that normally mediate its
response immobliize under
stress, the final responsiblity
for survival falls on a simple
factor; the integrity of its
smallest constituents.
I am somewhat disinclined
to early death in general and
mine in particular. As the
equation for incineration
becomes a mathematical certainty, I can't think of a
simpler factor than my own
responsibility.
For the first time in a long
time, I feel my actions matter.

Debate Nov 5
To the Editor,

On November 5th, the day
before the presidential election, there will be a debate on
the LCC campus. Jerome
Garger, a member of LCC's
Language Arts Department,
will discuss his opinions of the
two presidential candidates
with a member of the ReaganBush Committee. A panel of
faculty and students will ask
questions concerning domestic
and foreign policy. The debate
is sponsored by LCC's student
government, and will take
place in the Boardroom at
noon on Monday. This is your
last chance to have your questions answered before the election.

Heavy and light topics discussed at Board

Of .Education meeting

group of students that leave
Oregon to attend college.

by Jackie Barry

TORCH Editor

The Oct. 24 Board of
Education meeting began on a
festive note.
Birthday cake was served,
followed by the presentation
of a slide show produced by
LCC' s Media Productions entitled "20 Years: A Great
Beginning.'' Special guests included Eugene businessman
Maurie Jacobs, former assistant to the president Bert Dotson, and former board
member John L. Barber, Jr . .

Safety /Security

Enrollment

Vice President for Student
Services Jack Carter stated in
a letter to the administration
that preliminary reports for
fall term indicate LCC will
serve 8,075 FTE this year, of
which 7,748 would be reimbursible by the state. This is a
drop of 6.8 percent from last
year's total and falls
dangerously close to the reimbursement level of 7,735 FTE
set by the state.
Carter noted that this is
comparable to enrollment
drops experienced by other
community colleges around
the state. Board member
Charlene Curry pointed out
that the UO was successful in
recruiting from the target

Job-related accidents are
down again this quarter. Only
six accidents occured and all
were minor. LCC stepped up
efforts to increase safety in
1983 and, after a dramatic
reduction in number of incidents initially, a continued
effort to minimize accidents
remains successful.
A plan to staff the
Downtown Center with security personnel during evening
and weekend hours was also
unveiled. Several days after
the board meeting this plan
was implemented.
Measure 2 Impact

Vice President of Administrative Services Bill Berry
reported that LCC would lose
an estimated $5.8 million in
1985-86 if Measure 2 passes on
Nov. 6. This includes an
estimate of the college's potential unemployment liability
which would result from the
lay-off of approximately 140
employees (20 percent of the
staff).
In a resolution passed by the
board, Berry noted that
Measure 2 ''will bring chaos to
financing essential local
government services, including

vocational and college transfer
courses at the community college."
Endowments for maintenance

The board explored the
the possibility of naming LCC
buildings or rooms after
donors (or those designated by
donors) who contribute endowments for building
maintenance.
Referring to the college's
"growing, serious problem of
how to fund maintenance,''
Larry Romine, of LCC's
Public Relations department,
suggested that a minimum acceptable gift for putting a
name on a building would be
10 percent of the building's
estimated replacement cost.
Board member Bill Manley
stated that he would like to see
buildings retain a primary
name that describes their function and Charlene Curry expressed a preference for naming parts of buildings but not
entire buildings.
Presidential Search

The board approved a motion to negotiate a contract
with the Association of Community College Trustees
(ACCT) to conduct a
presidential search for a
replacement of Eldon Schafer,
who previously announced
plans to retire in the summer
of 1985.

ABILITY

Sumptuous fare
offered in LCC's
Renaissance Room
by Richard Ho
for the TORCH

Imagine an entree of
Szechuan beef -- thin slices of
beef marinated in peppery
sauce -- garnished with crunchy Chinese noodles and
crispy vegetables.
Add to this an appetizer of
won ton soup, a "mocktail"
(non-alcoholic drink) of
Orgeat Delight, and a dessert
of pineapple sherbert with an
almond cookie.
This $7 .50 meal can be
yours for $3.75. It's on the
menu today (Nov. 1) at the
Renaissance Room, the · intimate dining area located in
the northeast corner of the
cafeteria, under an orange and
brown canopy.
But beginning its eighth year
of operation, the studentstaffed restaurant is still facing
the same problem it's faced in
the past -- only 5 or 10 of the
60 people the restaurant serves
daily are LCC students.

Customers who frequent the
Renaissance Room are usually
members of the college staff.
Willie Kealoha, an instructor of the Food Service
Management Program which
runs the restaurant, wishes
more students would experience the dining facility.
Perhaps, he says, students
think they have to dress up to
dine at the restaurant: But he
says that's not the case.
Being only one of four community colleges in Oregon to
have such a facility, Kealoha
says "People at LCC should
be proud that it exists."
The Renaissance Room is
open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Ragozzino revives 'Godspell' with
some original cast members
Ten years ago, LCC Theatre
moved from its first quarters
in the college's Center and
Forum buildings to a new
building of its own. The formal opening was a gala occasion, centered on a production
of ''Godspell,'' directed by Ed
Ragozzino, founding head of
LCC's Performing Arts
Department.
LCC begins its eleventh
season in the theatre with a
revival of "Godspell,"
directed again by Ragozzino.
The play is a musical treatment of the life and teachings
of Jesus, as presented in the

Gospel of St. Matthew.

Brent J asmer--percussion.

This season's presentation
will star David Morgan (who
also stared in the 1974 production) as Jesus. Other members
of the original cast are Roxy
(Thomas) Ragozzino, and
Roger Reid. Newcomers to the
company are Shirley Andress,
Rose Clark, Richard Gray,
Peg Major, Patrick Michalek,
and Al
Marla Mise,
Villanueva.

Bruce Bibby is the set and
lighting designer, Nancy
Julian created the costumes,
Nicola Foster choreographed
the show, and Dan Sachs was
the vocal coach.
"Godspell" opens Nov. 9,
and continues Nov. 10 and
14-17, all shows have an 8
p.m. curtain time. All seats are
reserved, and cost $8, plenty
of seating is still available.

Music Director James B.
Greenwood, Jr. directs the
combo from his piano, with
Eddy Rodriguez-Morel-guitars, Pat Brand--bass, and

Reservations may be made by
phone weekdays, 10 a.m. to 4
p.m., at 726-2202. Groups of

This is the fifth in a continuing series of excerpts from a history of the
Eugene Vocational School, one of LCC's predecessors. The book was
published by David Butler of the LCC College and Community Relations Office, and reprinted by permission. Copyright, 1976, by Lane Community
College.

Soon the rest of the class had arrived and Mrs.
Van Loan introduced herself and calmly said, "Shall we
begin?"

Chapter 2

Those first few weeks went off without a hitch.
Johnson and Mrs. Van Loan acted like they had been
teaching at the Eugene Vocational School all their lives,
and Adams was already thinking enthusiastically about
expanding into evening adult classes immediately instead
of waiting tor the regular school year to begin_ the next fall.
He sounded out his friends on the idea and apparently found the support he was looking for. Although
there wasn't a peep from the Board at its March meeting,
Adams' habit of touching bases with everyone concerned
points to the fact that he must have conferred with the
.
Board members during their monthly work session.
One ally, the Eugene Register-Guard, thought 1t
was a great idea and promptly reported that the
Vocational School would soon be offering _evening
courses in welding, blue print reading, estimation for con- struction, billing and detailing, shop mathematics,_ theory
of electricity and electrical codes, drafting, air conditioning and refrigeration, and diesel.
By then, Adams was fairly itching to start a nigh~
school. Classes, he decreed, would primarily be aimed at
the already-employed workers who wanted to brush up
on their skills or learn new ones to advance in their jobs or
help them find new careers.
This was a whole new ball game.
Right away there was the problem of staffing. It
was Adams' philosophy that to get the best you have to
hire the best, so he directed Purvine to hit the streets
again to find the best Eugene had to offer in the winter of
1938.
Purvine had a technique. "When I wanted to find a
, master tradesman in any one of the trades, I'd go into one
of the shops around town and ask who they thought was
the best tradesman around. I'd usually get a name or two
then I'd go to another shop, a competitor, and ask the
same question.
"It wasn't long before the same name, or
sometimes two names, would keep coming up, and finally
I'd go see this man and ask him if he wouldn't like to come
and teach at the vocational school."

Changes in staff and policy

Denali seeks student submissions

by Kevin Harrington

TORCH Staff Writer

Denali, LCC's literary
arts magazine, is alive and well
and will be back in the hands
of LCC readers Nov. 29 after
a year of crisis.
The resignations last
December of the publication's
editor, art editor, and production manager -- who cited personal conflicts and a lack of
funding among their reasons
for resigning -- threw the remaining staff into ''turmoil,''
and put the magazine's future
in doubt. It missed its spring
deadline. There was even talk
of discontinuing the publication altogether.
The task of restoring Denali's credibility falls squarely on the shoulders of this
year's editor, Kim Simmoneau, who says she is pleased with many of the new
policies developed by the LCC
Media Commission to resolve
some of the problems plaguing
past magazine staffs.
For example, she says the
decision to publish five times
during the year has corrected
some of the organizational difficulties. "We had previously
been bud_geted to produce one
big issue at the end of the year.
The staff's year-long effort to
assemble the material for production resulted in a loss of
continuity in both planning
and in the carrying out of
short-range goals. There was a
lag between submissions and
production .... There was no
opportunity for the staff to
learn from their mistakes and
carry it over to the next issue."
But Simmoneau says the
new staff is eager to renew
LCC interest in the magazine:
"One of our main goals is to
increase readership and to encourage students to submit
their work. What's special ·this
year is that LCC students
don't have to compete with
more experienced, nonstudent writers from the community."

This new requirement -- that
the magazine is solely for the
presentation of LCC student
writers -- is another of the
policies developed last year,
after a Media Commission
study of past problems.
Among the other changes:
• The editor and associate
editor will now be paid a
salary -- the posts were never
paid before.
"It's an added bonus," says
Simmoneau, " ... there's a lot
involved in (editing). . . . This
is a nice incentive. It's really
nice to be rewarded with a
salary as well as producing a
publication you can be proud
of."
• Denali will now be printed
on newsprint instead of high
quality magazine paper, and
will be distributed free of
charge through the Torch.
• The college now pays a
new technical adviser for six
hours of staff assistance each
week.
Dorothy Wearne, the Torch
production adviser, will also
serve as Denali technical adviser.

Two volunteer literary advisers appointed by the
Language Arts Department
chairman -- Peggy Marston,
returning from several years as
a volunteer, and Karen Locke
-- will no longer be required to
assist with the magazine's production.
Simmoneau's staff includes
Robert Ferguson, associate
editor; Judith Garrison,
Gary
editor;
literary
Breedlove, photography
editor; Steve Kent, typesetter;
Kevin Marshall, production
assistant; and Diana Feldman,
literary assistant.
'We're looking for short fiction, poetry, and black and
and
artwork
white
photography,'' says Simmoneau. Interested students
should go to the Denali office,
479F Center Building, to submit literary material.
~'LCC is full of good
and
art is ts,
writers,
photographers. . . . I want
people to be aware that Denali
exists and that they have this
chance to share their work
with others."

awhile.

Usually he got what he wanted-at least for

"We had a pretty high turnover there for awhile,"
said Purvine, "because the best tradesman was not
always the best teacher.' Sometimes I'd have to go out and
start all over again to find someone who could teach."

Hatfield faces Hendriksen
by Jackie Barry

TORCH Editor

US Senator Mark Hatfield
and State Senator Margie
Hendriksen are vying for Hatfield's Senate seat next week.
Hatfield became a US
Senator in 1967 after two four
year terms as governor. He
currently chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee in
Washington and, until the recent Tsakos affair, had an untarnished reputation as an
ethical, powerful senator.
Despite this incident, Hatfield's image remains relatively untouched.
Hendriksen has a reputation
as an outspoken defender of
women's rights and labor
issues. She was elected to her
current state senate seat in
1981, after serving as a legal
counselor for Lane County.
Hendriksen has been critical
of her opponent, saying he
says peace and votes war, and
that his lack of effectiveness
on the appropriations committee has resulted in Oregon losing $700 million of federal
money.

Hatfield states that the
decreased amount of appropriations is a direct result
of lowered inflation. He says
the study on which these
figures are based began in
1980, when inflation was 13.5
percent, and ended in 1984
when inflation had dropped to
about 4 percent. Hatfield's
voting record on peace issues
"could be a whole lot better,"
according to a spokeperson at
Clergy and Laity Concerned,
who added that Hatfield voted
to approve military aid to
Nicaragua.
Hatfield is also an
outspoken opponent of abortion. In a position paper
printed in 1975, he answered
the question of whether abortion should be allowed for victims of rape with the statement
that "Sexual assault is usually
so traumatic that a victim normally does not conceive even if
the attack occurs during
ovulation. Moreover, it is a
simple medical procedure to
prevent conception among victims of rape, if treatment is
sought promptly.''
A spokesperson for

the

Rape Crisis Network said that
pregnancies do result in rape
cases, the primary reason
more don't occur is because
often the attacker doesn't
climax.
Both Hatfield and Hendricksen were unfamiliar with
the Dept. of Education's cuts
to LCC's financial aid and
were unable to offer substantial comment.

To Maintain job training,
educational programs and
other services, Lane Community College is seeking
voter approval of a new tax
base in the Tuesday, Nov. 6,
election.
The new tax base would
take effect July 1, 1985. LCC
President Eldon Schafer says
the new base, if approved,
would aid planning for educational programs and use of
financial resources. It als·o
would provide funds for
maintenance of buildings and
instructional equipment.
If voters approve the
measure, the college's tax base
for 1985-86 would increase 4.8
percent above the amount the

college would receive voter approval of the proposal. The
difference to taxpayers would
be an increased of about 8
cents per $1,000 of assessed
value in the tax rate. That
amounts to about a $4 increase
in 1985-86 on a house with an
assesed value of $50,000.
The proposed $12.5 million
tax base would replace a current base of $11.2 million.
LCC's present tax base is
four years old. Passage of the
new base would eliminate the
need for elections for at least
two years, according to
Schafer. The Nov. 6 proposal
is the last chance for voters to
approve an LCC tax base increase until the May, 1986,
election.

Ballot Measure 3 would
create a Citizens Utility Board
(CUB), an independent, nonprofit public corporation to
serve as an advocate for utility
consumers.
CUB would represent utility
consumer interests by conducting investigations and
research, and appearing
before judicial, legislative, and
administrative bodies and participating in those pro-

ceedings.
Opponents of CUB,
primarily private utilities, have
spent over $500,000 campaigning against the measure. Pro- ,
ponents of the measure
estimate the utilties -- Pacific
Northwest Bell, Portland
General Electric, Northwest
Natural Gas, General
Telephone, and Pacific Power
and Light -- will have spent
over $1 million before the election is over.
CUB supporters -- among
them Oregon State Public Int ere st Research Group
(OSPRIG), Common Cause,
League of Women Voters,
Oregon State Grange,
Ecumenical Ministries of
Oregon, and the Gray Panthers -- maintain the CUB
would represent consumers in
rate-making decisions, an area
in state government where
Oregonians have ineffective
and inadequate repr,esentation. "The present system of
setting utility rates benefits the
utilities. As long as consumers
have neither a choice, or a
voice, utilities can continue to
raise their rates," said Small
Business for CUB in the
Oregon Voters' Pamphlet.

Measure 3 creatE

KLCC's "Blue Plate
Special" was the forum for a
debate on Ballot Measure 2
last Thursday in the Boardroom.
Measure 2 would amend
Oregon's constitution and
limit Oregon property taxes to
one and a half percent of
assessed values, roll back property values to 1981, and require 50 percent of registered
voters in any district to approve additional taxation.
John Barnett, owner of
Chinook Research Lab and a
spokesperson for the Oregon
Taxpayers Union, spoke in
favor of Measure 2. Kay
.Robinette, a lawyer and a
member of the Oregon Ethics
Commission, as well as local
real tor Jean Tate spoke in opposition to the measure.
Barnett claimed, in his
opening remarks, that
Measure 2 would place
''power of taxation at the absolute localist of levels."
Robinette maintained that
depending on 50 percent of
registered voters to approve
money for essential services
and education was too risky.
Tate noted, during questioning, that she stood to
benefit greatly if Measure 2
passed because she owns
several pieces of property and
her real estate business would
profit from lower property
taxes. She opposes the
measure, however, because of
the risk to education.

Tate also stated that she
would like to see Oregon have
a third leg to its tax system the sales tax. "I think we'll see
the legislature come out with
one," she said, adding, "I
have faith in the legislature
and if my faith is not fulfilled,
I'll be up there kicking some
shins.''
Panel members had a
chance to question each other
during the program. Tate lead
off by asking Barnett to clarify
the issue of rolling property
values back to 1981 and
whether property improvements and rezoning since
that time would be considered.
He stated that improved property would be assessed at
1981 values as if the improvements had been made
4nd that rezoning would pro-

bably be considered the same
way.
"No, it wouldn't," interjected Robinette, referring to
the rezonmg. He cited a case in
Yanhill County where the
assessor was distressed over
rolling back property values
on a parcel that was zoned as
farmland in 1981 but has since
been rezoned as commercial
property and now accomodates a K-Mart.

Tate made closing remarks
for the opposition. She touched on her experience as a
teacher, pointing out the
"amazing difference in what
you could do'' when class sizes
increased from 20 to 30 pupils.
Barnett closed with, ''Let us
begin restructuring, let us
begin anew.''

John Barnett" answers questions on why Measure 2 should pass.

save CUB $2 million annually

Measure 2 and you
Guest editorial by ASLCC
President Cindy Weeldreyer
and ASLCC Communications
Director Steven Ramseur.

The election is less than one
wee.k away and the educational community has an
uphill battle to fight to defeat
Ballot Measure 2. The latest
statewide poll indicates the
measure is passing: 59 percent
yes, 38 percent no, three percent undecided.
WHAT DOES MEASURE 2
MEAN TO ME AS AN LCC
STUDENT?
It means a budget cut of approximately $6 million from
LCC's $27.8 million budget over 20 percent. LCC's budget
is labor intensive, 78 percent
of it spent on salaries and
benefits. The college projects
that at least 140-150 current
LCC employees would be hitting the unemployment rolls if
Measure 2 passes. This means
more students in each class
and across-the-board program
cuts. According to one highranking LCC official, even
high-enrollment programs
would not be safe from the
budgetary axe, because these
are often high-cost programs
as well.

It should be noted that
budget cuts have been made at
LCC three out of the last four
years. This means that all the
"easy" cuts have been made,

so further cuts will affect more
deeply the equality of services
LCC can provide.
HOW SOON WOULD
MEASURE 2 GO INTO EFFECT?
If passed, Measure 2's effects would be in full effect for
the 1985-86 school year.
WHAT CAN A STUDENT
DOTO HELP?
Well, of course you can
register to vote, and encourage
others to do so. But that is not
enough. Tell people how you
feel, get the facts out about
Measure 2. The most pressing
need right now is for
volunteers to go door-to-door
canvassing, to inform voters.

The Eugene Education
Association (EEA) is organizing a November 3rd drive.
Please call EEA at 345-0.338 to
volunteer. The ASLCC is conducting a get-out-the-vote
telephone calling campaign of
the student directory on
November 3-4 and needs
volunteers also.
And don't forget to tell your
friends and neighbors! The
future of education in Oregon
is at stake.

Who wants the waste?
by John Egan

TORCH Staff Writer

Radioactive waste and
sludge ponds - the stuff of
which Ballot Measure 9 is
made.
This measure would add requirements for disposing of
radioactive waste to existing
legislation. It would require
the Energy Facility Siting
Council to determine that any
site proposed for disposal of ·
naturally occurring radioactive isotopes "isn't subject to
water erosion, earthquakes,
volcanoes or landslides; that
there is no safer choice for
such disposal; and that there
will be no radioactive release
from the waste.''
A group called Citizens For
Responsible Radioactive
Waste Disposal are sponsors
of the measure. Teledyne Wah
Chang, a metal industry north
of Albany, opposes this
measure.
Jim Denham, legal counsel
for Teledyne Wah Chang
(TWC), stated in a debate at
Linn-Benton Community College last week, "Ballot
Measure Nine is an attempt by

a group of anti-nuclear activists to use your understandable fear about high-level
radiation and nuclear
weapons, to get rid of a
business they don't happen to
like.''
Chief petitioner Lloyd
Marbet denies this saying,
"We did not target any one industry, the law itself has
created the target." An exemption to a ban on radioactive waste disposal, passed by
the Oregon Legislature in
1981, allows for in-state
disposal of naturally occurring
radioactive isotopes produced
prior to June 1981. TWC is the
only Oregon industry affected
by this law.
TWC claims it would have
to "search the universe" to
find a suitable disposal site
and that it would cost 25
million to clean up a sludge
pond on their waste disposal
site.
Other groups that oppose
the measure say it isn't
necessary, stating that
Oregon's environment is
already well protected from
radioactive wastes by existing

law and that backers of the
measure have "neglected to
note that radiation from glowin-the dark watches, common
garden fertilizer and table salt
substitute often exceeds the
'radioactivity' in the material
they wish to regulate.''
Oregon AFL-CIO states that
the measure would create a
burdensome regulatory
climate which would scare
away prospective new industrial developments.
Sponsors of the measure
have the support of Congressmen Jim Weaver and Les
AuCoin, US Senator Mark
Hatfield, Portland Mayor Bud
Clark, Speaker of the House
Grattan Kerans and at least
two dozen other Oregon politicians. Proponents also point
out that the Environmental
Protection Agency has identified a TWC sludge pond,
which is located 400 ft. from
the Willamette River, as an environmental health hazard in
need of remedial clean-up.
Marbet pointed out that it is
the people of the state who
''ultimately assume the burden
of inadequate waste disposal''
and not the bureaucrats.

.Harriers sweep state meet

by Ron Gullberg

TORCH Sports Editor

Lane Community College's
men's and women's cross
country teams swept the
Region IV Oregon State
Championships Saturday at
Blue Lake Park in Gresham.
The women outraced second
place Linn-Benton 23-36,
while the rest of the seven
team field; Mt. Hood,
Southwest Oregon, Clackamas
and Umpqua was incomplete.
The men's race was tighter
as Lane held on to narrowly
defeat Clackamas 37-40. LinnBenton was third with 84
by;
followed
points,
Southwest Oregon 92, Mt.
Hood 104, and Umpqua 141.
Lane freshman Ann
Macklin once again led the
field of runners, crossing the
finish line at 19:00, well ahead
of second place Nina Putzar of
Linn-Benton (19:18). Macklin
beat Putzar, the defending
3,OOOm track champion, for
the third time in five weeks,
and is a favorite to become the
first freshman to win the Nor-

thwest Championship title
November 9.
Lane's Jennifer Pade shrugged off a bout with the flu to
enhance Lane's victory with a
fifth place finish, running a
time of 20:23.
"We are very happy and
lucky to win regionals this
year,'' said Lane Coach
Lyndell Wilken, in reference
to Lane's problems with injuries this season. ''The addition of Janelle Henderson
(9th, 21 :04) and Kris Edwards
(12th, 21 :49) (previously injured) to our line-up gave us

Clackamas. ''We did what we

Lane was primed for the
Chemeketa match, winning
the first game, 15-13. CCC
came back to win the second,

by Howard Tenke
for the TORCH

With the Titan men's
basketball season beginning
today with a scrimmage
against Linn-Benton Community College, Coach Dale
Bates is already predicting a
first or second place finish in
NAACC Region IV play.
Bates says this year's club
will be even more explosive
that last year's unit which
finished second in league competition. His excitement may
be due to the return of four of
last year's letter-winners: CoCaptains Kevin Leonard (5-10
guard) and John Dalke (6-2
guard/forward), Kevin Bloom
(6-7 center/forward) and Rick
Kay (6-7 center).
• Leonard was last year's second highest scorer for the
Titans (312 points) and led in

304.

• It was Bloom who showed
the best shooting percentage
on the team -- a .523 field goal
average. And on the
backboards. Bloom was the
second place rebounder with
155 for the season. • Kay,
who did not see much playing
time last year, pulled down 51
boards.
Bates also sees promise in
freshmen Jerome Johnson
from Tennessee, Kevin Lee of
Willamette High, and Chris
Boldin from South Eugene.
After this week's noncounting Linn-Benton game,
the Titans will face Umpqua
CC on Nov. 15 in another
scrimmage, then begin preseason play with the Tip-Off
Tourney held at LCC.

Kickers split, still in first place
by Jon Willis

for the TORCH

LC'C men's soccer team
stayed on top of the NAACC
Southern Division with a split
last week, with a victory over
Clackamas 2-0, and a loss to
Shoreline of Washington 3-2.
The split keeps the Titans
(6-3-1) tied for the Southern
Division lead with Ft.
Steilacoom of Washington
which also split its games last
week.
On Oct. 24, Todd Simmons
received a pass from Gunnar
the
beat
Runarsson,

Clackamas goalie on a one-onone break to score Lane's first
goal in the 32nd minute.
Frank Hofford preserved
-Lane goalkeeper Brian Burns'
fifth league shutout when he
dribbled around two defenders
and fired a shot into the corner
of the net in the 67th minute,
making the score 2-0.
The Titans took a quick 1-0
lead against Shoreline on Oct.
27 when Dave Peterson scored
on a diving header just three
minutes into the game.
In the second half of Lane's
fourth straight road game, Pat

Bodine made the score 2-1 on
a penalty kick.
''Shoreline controlled the
ball at midfield and we
didn't," Head Coach Dave
Poggi explained. ''Our pace
was too fast and it gave them
opport:mities to score."
The Titans now have a three
game homestand. On Oct. 31,
Tacoma came to town to play
at 3 p.m., followed by Edmonds of Washington on
Nov. 3 at 10 a.m. Lane then

Letters,-(cont. from page 3)

For CUB
To the Editor:

When was the last time you
were not outraged at the cost
of your gas, electric, or
telephone bill? If you cannot
remember, then I urge you to
vote YES on Ballot Measure
Three for a Citizens Utility ·
Board on November 6th. The
problem is like an unbalanced
scale. Oregon is the only state
that has one Public Utility
Commissioner, appointed by
the governor, who acts as
judge (by looking at the
presented evidence) to determine whether our rates rise or
not. On one side are the
utilities with their high-priced
consultants to argue their
cases. We as individual
citizens don't have adequate
representation due to a lack of
time, access to information,
expertise, and influence. The
balance is tipped.
The best solution to this
problem is to establish a
Citizens Utility Board (CUB)
to represent us as utility consumers. CUB is a state-wide,
consumer-controlled organization that will be our advocate.
CUB will be funded through
voluntary contributions from
consumers, not taxes.· Its
board of directors will be
elected by con tributing
members, but all residential
ratepayers will benefit from
the work of CUB. (Wisconsin
has had a CUB for three years.
92,000 members strong, it has
saved ratepayers $285 million
in proposed rate increases.)
Oregon's utilities are so scared
they're spending $1 million
dollars to try to defeat CUB.
(Five of the seven arguments
against CUB in the Voters'
Pamahlet are backed by utility
fronts.)
So to balance the scales--Vote
YES on Three, for a Citizens
Utility Board.

I still believe that regardless
of the problem, or how complex, there is a solution. I, personally, fully intend to find
the solutions to the problems
that are trying to prevent my
continuing the education that
is a right earned by a service to
my country and paying of
taxes. -I believe it is extremely
unfair for someone with little
or no background at an institution like LCC, to be in a
position to have the final say
as to whether or not I (and
many others in my position)
will be able to financially continue at LCC. The final decision must be made by someone
with the experience, sensitivity, and knowledge to make
fair and impartial decisions,
someone who has been there,
on the other side. I find people
who once freely and openly
helped find a solution, now
are afraid to speak out at all.
People who at one time encouraged students to seek
solutions and guided them in
those pursuits, are now setting
up obstacles, roadblocks, and
not only shutting the door to
opportunity, but locking it as
well. I feel that the staff of
LCC must somehow turn this
around. There are a lot of caring people who sincerely do
want to be ''part of the solution," and even with the effects of Reaganomics, we can
surely find a way. This your
college, your community, and
there are so many who want
and desperately need LCC, .
that we cannot afford to just
walk away.

~

ed to the policy of "LCC Part of the Solution?" It
seems to have been replaced
with ''LCC - Part of the Problem." There seems to be an
attitude of trying to find a way
of stopping students from pursuing their education saying,
''Let them not only earn their
grades, but also the privilege
of attending LCC."

I am both perplexed and
disappointed at the amazing
difference, (or should I say indifference?) in the attitudes of
the staff at LCC since I
graduated in 1983. At that
time, I was full of apprehensions and ambitions, armed
with a degree in Insurance
Claims Adjusting, and a
background that would at last
land me that "job." Well,
here I am, back at LCC with
those apprehensions and ambitions dashed. I returned, trying to enhance the education I
have, only to find that LCC
has not only fallen victim to
Reaganomics, but seems to be
a full fledged advocate of
those policies. What's happen-

cut, two options exist. Cut
programs, or increase tuition.
In this case, probably both.
Recent federal policy changes
have shifted more of schools'
financial burden to the community, as evidenced by increasing numbers of school
levies appearing on local
ballots.
In addition, cuts to the
Financial Aid program have
reduced the number of
students who can afford to go
to school. When fewer
students are attending school,
tuition must go up, and we end
up in a vicious cycle where the
increased tuition causes lower
enrollment, etc.
Students will not only pay
more to go to school, but
receive less for their money.
The easy solution is for us to
work to defeat Ballot Measure
2.

Photographer Judith
Golden will give a slideill us tr ate d lecture in
November in conjunction
with her show in the
Photography at Oregon
Gallery at the University of
Oregon Museum of Art.
The free public lecture
will be held at 7:30 p.m.
Friday, Nov. 2, in
Lawrence Hall, Room 107.
Golden's black-andwhite photographs will be
featured at the museum this
month. The free exhibit
runs Oct. 31 through Nov.

21.

During the past 10 years,
Golden has worked with
self-portrait fantasies ·to
make her statements. She
uses herself as a model and
puts on masks that comment on the roles and facial
facades assigned to women
by America's mass media
culture.
Some of Golden's work
has elements added to the
surface, such as thread,
feathers and ribbon.
"I don't think of myself
as with a painter or a
photographer, but as an artist,'' says Golden, who
painted before taking up
photography . '' I mix
media."
Golden studied at the
School of the Art Institute
of Chicago and is now
teaching at the University
of Arizona in Tucson.
