We have measured the 2 dimensional (2D) power spectrum of the Las Campanas Redshift Survey on scales between 30 and 200 Mpc (q_0=0.5, H_o=100h km sec^{-1} Mpc^{-1}). Such an analysis is more sensitive to structure on scales > 50 Mpc than a full 3 dimensional analysis given the geometry of the survey. We find a strong peak in the power spectrum at approximately 100 Mpc relative to the smooth continuum expected from the best fit Cold Dark Matter model (Probability is 2.5x10^{-4} with Omega h = 0.3 assuming a Gaussian random field). This signal is detected in two independent directions on the sky and has been identified with numerous structures visible in the survey which appear as walls and voids. Therefore, we conclude that there exists a significant increase in power on this scale and that such structures are common features in the local universe, z <= 0.2.
