Lane Communit y College 4000 E. 30th Avenue Eugene, Oregon 97405 A ward Winning College Newspaper Prize winning pumpkin Department November 1-#, 1984 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. VO\l! 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. Last Chance Candidate Forum The ASLCC will be presenting the "Last Chance Candidate's Forum" on Friday, Nov. 2, between 2 and 4 p.m., in the cafeteria. The forum gives candidate's one last chance to air their views and answer questions.

The Lane County Elections office will accept voter registrations up through election day. Prospective registrants need to register in person, as the deadline for mail-in registration has passed. There is a twenty day residency requirement to register as a voter in Oregon. The elections office enforces this by asking registrants to sign an affidavit swearing that they've lived in Oregon for 20 days, that they're 18 years of age and a US citizen. Persons interested in registering should go to the County Elections office at 135 East Sixth in the Lane County Annex.

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. 2, but it is unlikely funds will be restored in any uniform way or restored to the majority of the taxing agencies. The This means the actual voter participation will need to be above 60 percent in any election. And that rarely happens. Measure 2 limits all votes on money measures to an election ·in May and one in November. result will be cuts in programs and services. Believing a 50 percent voter approval in May to restore cut funds unlikely, Eyen with a presidential "Unlike California , Oregon has no surplus" primary this past May, fewer than 50 percent of the voters voted on money issues. This voter requirement also holds for any legislative tax change. Thus, these proponents who have demanded tax reform actually are making real tax reform a near impossibility. True, some isolated districts may restore necessary funds cut by the passage of Measure Unlike California, Oregon has no surplus, no sales tax, no high fee structure to make up the lost revenues; and provisions within Ballot Measure 2 will make it even more difficult for the legislature to create positive tax reform.

Those instructors who can sometimes be found working in their offices at midnight, correcting student papers. These are the same instructors that work twelve months a year and get paid for nine. Editorial by Jackie Barry TORCH Editor I can picture the headline on the Torch on Nov. 8 if Measure 2 passes on Nov. 6 Measure 2 cuts fat at LCC. Yes, there is fat to be trimmed at LCC. Some highenrollment programs might be trimmed into oblivion because they're expensive to operate. Many services will be trimmed out of the school budget completely because they're not required for graduation -- the <cont. on page 1> The ~ "'u .D Another example for possible trimming is the instructor whose expertise and ability to establish good rapport inspires his students to strive for, as he would describe it, ''an out of body experience." These guys haven't beep. here long enough, so they'll probably have to go. Let's not forget the athletic department. There must be fat there. Sure the players put in hundreds of hours without getting paid, but are they necessary? Why should tax- payers support athletics programs anyway? But wait! I haven't finished. Maybe the staff members who give out their home phone numbers to students in case assistance is needed with equipment on the weekends should be cut. Let's remember, a 20 percent across-the-board cut is not going to cut out the bad ones. When cutting "fat" on such a grand scale we musn't concern ourselves with mundane details such as whether or not the axed bend over backwards to help students. We just hack away at the newcomers. Aww heck! We can do without those newcomers. Let's axe 'em! Have I made my point?

District 4J has indicated it will eliminate all school activities and most programs not required for graduation, will close schools, and will eliminate hundreds of teaching positions. The City of Eugene has plans to eliminate 40 police positions, 37 fire positions, 71 parks and recreation positions, and on and on. The library, Hult Center, senior citizen centers and parks will be closed. These represent just a few of the possible real effects of Ballot Measure 2 locally. Similar cuts will need to be made in every community throughout the state. isn't 30 percent fat." Ballot Measure 2 would slice an estimated 20 percent from the LCC budget and more from other places like the City of Eugene. Slashing away at what might be the cream of the crop is not the way to trim fat. This is the way to possibly - more likely probably - ruin our state, our college, and at the risk of seeming maudlin, people's lives. I know I'm bringing up another topic -- but in order to show a view point from the other side I'll mention that there is one group that would benefit from passage of Measure 2 -- lawyers. Oregon's lawyers will have to get yanked from the WPPSS ranks to deal with the many litigations that will take place if Measure 2 passes. Sure, I'd like to pay lower taxes, but I hate to gamble when I know I'm gonna lose.

The Torch November 1-J, 1984 Page 3 FORUM FORUM FORUM FORUM FORUM FORUM FORUM LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LETTERS TO THE El JM FORUM FORUM FORUM FORUM FORUM FORUM FOi THE EDITOR LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LET '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. Jerome Garger LCC Instructor Language Arts from WOMEN'S VOICES: THE GENDER GAP MOVIE @ 1984 Gender Gap Film Corporation cartoons 'Voter insecurity' humanity to the edge of extinction. 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 John L. Jordan LCC Student 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. Logan Nevitt Mass Comm./Music 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.

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. of budget A $19 ,250-$22,250 was discussincluded which ed, $7,000-$10,000 for ACCT's services. 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. serving a menu that changes daily, and is posted just outside the restaurant door. Reservations are recommended but not required, and can be made by calling 747-4501, extension 2697. However, walk-ins are welcomed.

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.

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. 'Blue Plate' airs Measure by Jackie Barry LCC seeks new tax base by Ellen Platt TORCH Associate Editor Democratic challenger Margie Hendriksen speaks with Torch editor. TORCH Editor Incumbent US Senator Mark Hatfield faces re-election Tuesday. 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.

Under this Measure, the legislature will only be able to transfer monies from state highway funds, social programs, and higher education. For students in higher education that means reduced enrollments, fewer programs, larger classes, and higher tuition.

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. WILL MUCH HOW STUDENTS FEEL THE EFFECTS OF MEASURE 2? When a school's budget is ASLCC-(cont. on page 10) 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.

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.

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.

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. KLCt to begin fall Radiothon KLCC 89FM will begin its 1984 Fall Radiothon -- with a goal of $35,000 -- on Saturday, Nov. IO at 3:00p.m., during the Blues Power program. The Radiothon will continue idefinitely until the $35,000 goal is reached. Over 150 premiums have been donated by businesses throughout the KLCC coverage area -- which, with our new transmitter broadcasting at 86,000 watts -reaches from the Portland area to south of Roseburg, and from Coos Bay to Lincoln City on the Coast to Bend, Redmond, and Prineville east of the Cascades. KLCC has experienced a 15 precent cut in funds from Lane Community College, at the same time, National Public Radio membership costs have risen 15 percent.

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. Becky Smith LCC Student L. R.

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. r c : ( l ~ t l . . . . .
