LCC big winner in local election
By Don Peters
Emetaid Associate Editot
I ,ane Community College looked to get its first
updated tax base in 10 years, and the Eugene City
Council got two new members in local elections
Tuesday.
In another race, Marie Frazier was getting 32
percent of late returns |3,60il votes), edging Kath
erine Schacht (4H percent. 3.319) to apparently
capture the Lane County Commissioner Position
5 (Fast County) seat.
"I feel the voters wanted someone approach
able." Frazier said "I think they took this into
account. They wanted someone to look at both
sides of the issue "
The Frazier Schacht race was one of four coun
ty commission seats up for grabs, but the only
one considered a contest. Incumbent commis
sioners |a« k Roberts. Ellie Dumdi and Steve
Corn.u r hia all ran unopposed in their re-election
bids.
"I wasn't afraid to take a risk." Frazier said "I
sent out recipe cards and had poetry in the vot
er's pamphlet I think it helped the voters figure
out 'Who is Mary Frazier?' "
As for taking up her new chores as a county
commissioner, Fraizer said she would "fit in
well" with the present members because of her
"skills in a team setting "
"I'm going to side with the issues." frazier
said “I'll look at the merit of each issue as it
comes along."
District Measure 20-01. which would set a new
tax base for LCC, was passing 5<i percent to 4-1
percent (30,960-24,621). The new base, which
calls for a $3.7 million increase to the school's
current $20 million level, w'ould be the first base
increase for the college in 10 years
l/:C President Jerry Moskus said the base in
crease was needed to continue services at the
present level.
"We're very concerned about the deficit we're
facing," he said. “We have a number of prob
lems. and (the new tax base) will help solve
them.
The only other local measure on the ballot,
20-03. was a new tax base for the Eugene Rural
Fire District. It was passing easily with 82 per
cent of the vote.
There were two contested Eugene City Council
races In the Ward 1 race. Kandy MacDonald was
beating Richard "Dick" Briggs, 53 percent to 47
percent, while in the Ward 4 contest, local attor
ney Kaye Robinette (52 percent) was edging Ken
Tollenaar (48 percent).
If his lead holds up, MacDonald, a University
graduate, will replace the retiring Emily Schue in
the South Eugene ward. He credited "a marked
difference" between he and Briggs as the reason
for his apparent victory.
"I think this demonstrates South Eugene wants
a moderate liberal councilman." MacDonald
said
Robinette had nothing but praise for Tollenaar.
who ran close races in both the primary and gen
eral elections.
"Leadership is something done by example.”
he said. "Tollenaar has gotten my respect. It's
hard to think of him except as a winner."

A natural dividing line be
tween Hatfield, the second
most senior Republican of the
Senate, and Lonsdale was the
issue of abortion. While Hat
field has always opposed abor
tion. Umsdale calls himself to
tally pro-choice.
The tumultuous timber issue
also played prominently in the
race. Umsdale called for a ban
on log exports from private
lands, while Hatfield opposed
such a move, instead support
ing a ban on federal and state
log exports.
And on campaign finance re
form. Umsdale advocated an
end lo special interest group
contributions and proposed set
ting a limit on the number of
terms congressmen and sena
tors could serve.
Moreover, Lonsdale's convic
tions on campaign finance re
form were carried out in the
funding for his own race Of
the Democrat's $1 million in
campaign dollars, more than
$700,000 came out of his own
pocket, and he refused to ac
cept money from political ac
tion committees. Hatfield
raised more than $1 .3 million
for his campaign, at least
$400,000 of that from FACs.
Hut while Lonsdale present
ed his ideas of campaign fi
nance as clean and clear, his
opposition strategy in the race
against Hatfield was far from
naive. In fact. both candidates
reached in unusual directions
for weapons of political war
During the campaign. Hat
field's tactics ranged from
dredging up evidence of Lons
dale's support for the Bhagwan
Shree Rajneesh in the early
1980s to calling for an investi
gation into possible toxic waste
dumping at Lonsdale's Bend
research firm.
Although a probe by the De
partment of Environmental
Quality into the toxic waste al
legations proved empty, Hat
field's ridicule of lonsdale fur
his defense of the Bhagwan ap
pears to have done harm
