Most people in attendance ag reed, by a show of hands, with a proposal presented to the Board by LSN The LSN proposal recom mends: • The board, which holds the station license, directly oversees the operations and management of KLCC-FM, separate from other departments at Lane Community College • The station manager be di rectly accountable and responsi ble solely to the board. • An advisory committee, rep resenting the viewpoints of the station, the listening public and the college, be formed in order to interview and select personnel re quired for station operation (sub ject to approval of the board). • KLCC-FM do everything in its power to reduce the portion of its budget received from the LCC general fund.

She said CPB will not release that money until CPB is satisfied the terms of the grant have been met. She also pointed out that the terms of the grant re quire that the paid full-time staff not be required to meet respon sibilities other than their station work. The college administration now requires that these paid full-time staff people also hold teaching positions. Mike Hopkinson, acting chair man of the Mass Communications Department at LCC, called this procedure "cost effective—better utilizing LCC funds which go to KLCC.” Jan Weaver, one of the station staff people fired in October, said this "cost effective" policy is in di rect contradiction with the “ex pressed intent of the CPB grant.” Weaver also presented a letter from her attorney demanding a full and fair hearing concerning her fir ing.
