By BILL LUTZ
Of the Emerald
Two hundred and fifty people
crowded the Lane Community
College (LCC) board room Wed
nesday night to let the LCC Board
of Education know how they felt
about the future of KLCC-FM
Or as Rick Worthington,
spokesperson for Listener Sup
port Network (LSN), put it, "who
will control the station and for what
purpose.”
Many of the people present ex
pressed the opinion that the edu
cational value of the station
should not hinder its role as a pub
lic service available to the entire
community.
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.

An estimated S3 2 billion has
been pumped into the research

Opponents of the bomber claim
this amount has already made the
B-1 worth more than its weight in

PLAINS, Ga (AP) — The

their five acres produce a cash

The South Lane School District
could operate for sixteen years at
its present budget rate for the cost
of one B-1 Bomber, Joyce points
out
"The Pentagon wants a new toy
the corporations want more
profits,” Joyce says. "It is impor

and not just from Rockwell Inter

resentative, reading from the sta
tions Corporation for Public
Broadcasting (CPB) grant, (CPB
funds KLCC with $34,000) stated:
“The station be substantially
engaged in broadcasting to the
public rather than serving as a
facility for training students in
broadcasting.”
Hawkins also pointed out that
the CPB funds have been im
pounded since December when
CPB sent an auditor because of
the “abrupt finng” of five station
staff people. 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.
