Graphic by Bill Hogan
Jazz. The word conjures up many images for people. For some, it is
the hot-lick slickness of Chick Correa, for others the smokey-cool blues
of Billie Holiday.
For the Jazz Minors,' 'jazz'' is traditonal jazz; the sounds of Sat- ,
chmo, The Duke, Bix Beiderbeck.
This Friday, in a two hour benefit for the LCC Development Fund, the
Jazz Minors will play the jazz they do best.
They are also premiering their latest album, a smooth collection of
some of their favorite tunes.
The Jazz Minors are: (from left to right) Dale Dial, Jr., percussion,
A~dy Martin, trumpet and trombone, Tim Cline, piano (front), Rusty
Stiers, trumpet and fluglehorn; Mark Curry, clarinet and saxaphone,
Eric Messerschmidt, tuba, string bass and electric bass and Brad Roth,
banjo.
With the exception of Martin and Messerschmidt, who joined the
Minors in Southern California, the band has been together since ~igh
school.
Formed as a junior branch of the Traditional Jazz Societv of nn:won in

Copy by Sarah Brown
1973, the Minors started with the objective of performing traditional
jazz._
Though their first few times out were a little shaky, by 1976 they had
already cut two albums and were worktn.g on a third.
While their albums have been good, their strongest point is their live
performances. They hit the stage and the energy level is so intense that,
according to one fan, "They never stop moving, the music seems to
carry them along."
The Feb. 26 performance will be the Jazz Minors' first in this area in
over two years (those two years have been spent under contract to
Disneyland, where they currently perform.) For jazz buffs of all tastes,
this might be the last opportunity to catch this up and coming young
group for a while.
The concert starts at 8 p.m. in the Lane County Fairgrounds Performance Hall. There are a limited number of tickets still available at the
LCC Downtown Center for $5, $1 Oand $20. All donations are tax deductable. For more information, call Pat Williams at 484-2126 ext. 524, or

Ronnie's Voodoo·economics
Michael, John and Wendy Darling were just settling down to
sleep when the window blew
open and in flew a handsome
figure in a pea-green tunic, matching tights and boots.
"Hi, I'm Ronnie Pan," he said,
striking a pose. "Come fly away
with me to Never-Never Land,
where I will cut your taxes 27 percent and thereby defeat Captain
Hook, his evil pirate band and
double-digit inflation."
''Oh, how wonderful, Ronnie,''
said Wendy, clapping her hands.
·'But how will cutting our taxes
do all that?·'
··By giving you money to
spend, of course," said Ronnie.
"Anyone can see that."
Michael frowned. "But Ronnie,'' he said, ''if we have more
money to spend, we' II buy more
things and prices will go up and
inflation will only get worse.
Won't it?"
Ronnie scowled and scuffed the
toe of his boot on the carpet. "I

that TinkerJell Stockman, my
voodoo economist, when I need
him?''

As though in answer to a
prayer, a little glowing figure with
a $25 haircut and a bone in its
nose flitted into the room and settled on the bedpost.
"Explain my plan, Tin kerbell,"
mmanded Ronnie, retiring to a
corner, folding his arms, standing on his head, and closing his
eyes. "But no too loudly."
''Oh, it's really quite simple,

going to give you. You'll put it in
the bank."
"But we always spend our
money,'' protested little John.
''That was because you wanted
to buy things before the prices
went up," explained Tinkerbell.
"And sure enough, your buying
things made prices go up. But
now that you know Ronnie Pan is
goin to lick inflation and prices
won't go up, you won't buy
things. You'll put your money in
the bank instead."
"We will?" said Wendy
dubously.
''Certainly,'' said Tinkerbell
firmly. "And the bankers will
then have lots more money to lend
to the businessmen. And the
businessmen will then be able to
build bigger factories and make
lots more things.''
"That's good?" asked
Michael.
"Obviously," sais Tinkerbell.
"For the more things they make,
the cheaper the prices will be.
So, you see, if you just believe
that Ronnie Pan will lick inflation
and put your money in the bank,
Ronnie Pan will lick inflation.''
The three children scratched
their heads. '' But with more

things to buy," asked Wendy,
''won't we buy more things and
cause inflation?"
''Or not buy more things and
cause a depression?" asked
Michael.
''Tell us about Captain Hook
and the pirates," demanded little
John.
But, by now, Tinkerbell's voice
had grown faint and his glow dim.
Ronnie somersaulted to his feet.
"Don't you know," he said testily, "that every time a child says,
'I don't believe in voodoo
economics,' a voodoo economic
theory somewhere falls down
dead?·'
The children looked contrite.
'' How can we save Tinkerbell?''
pleaded Wendy.
'' If you believe in voodoo
economics, clap your hands!"
cried Ronnie Pan. '' And put your
money in a 5-1 /2-percent
passbook account.''

ASLCC V\lants student input
To the Editor:
It is quite evident that only a
small percentage of students are
aware of the existence of a campus student government. What's
even worse is that less than 1
percent (if that many) have even
attended a student government
meeting. It is unfortunate that
apathy of this sort exists on our
campus--and in our society in
general--because increased
citizen involvement at every level
of government would help maintain efficient operations and accountability of elected officials to
their constituents. Our student
government is no exception to the
rule.
ASLCC stands for Associated
Students of Lane Community College. These students are supposed to represent the students interests and wisely spend funds
derived from special fees which
all registered students contribute
to at enrollment. So whether you
know it or not ASLCC spends
your money (there is a substantial
budget earmarked for ASLCC
purposes and activities each
year). So it is an important and
powerful force on campus.
Unfortunately, most students
have the idea that student
governments, even at the college
level do nothing but have parties
and praise each other for accomplishments. The "ego trip"
groups may have been representative of high-school student body
officials but this certainly isn't the
case at LCC. ASLCC decisions
can and do affect every student
while they attend.

It is irresponsible for people to
leave all the decision making
powers to their elected representatives. How are your representatives supposed to know your
concerns if you don't make them
known? Griping to your friends on
any issue might be cathartic but it
won't solve a thing unless you
take the effort to alert officials to
what you would like to see done-or not done.
ASLCC welcomes comments or
suggestions from students. Our
offices are located on the 4th floor
of the Center Building in room
479. There will usually be someone present who would be glad
to inform you of current issues
facing the school if you desire.
But what would really be great
would be if you found out this information then attend some
meetings to interject your views.
Most members of ASLCC are trying to represent campus students
but it would be a much more effective organization if you--the
student--would get involved.

These three branches are
beginning to overlap. Private consulting agencies buy from and
sell to the right-wing extremists,
and both trade with the government. "In the past six years,
private utilities have been hiring
agencies to gather information on
the anti-nuke movement.''
Schwartz said. '' Georgia Power
had a larger budget last year for
intelligence-gathering than the

Intelligence-gathering operations by these groups include the
use of informers, mail covers

In a turnabout-is-fair-play action several years ago, an FBI office was broken into and the ,contents of the files leaked to the
press. These files indicated that

as kidnapping and rape, and that

groups who exercised their Constitutional rights to disagree with
the U.S. government. Of this 80
percent, 75 percent was on
liberal and radical organizations,
and 5 percent on the right wing.
Often this spying was carried to
ridiculous lengths. When
Schwartz was working on a
Native American rights case in
Minnesota, the FBI office there
assigned "Squad 6" to disrupt
the Indian movement. (These
documents were released to
Schwartz under the Freedom of
Information Act .) Squad 6 had 15
special agents, each of whom
employed three informers apiece.
''In a place that barely had 100
people in the Indian movement,
Schwartz said, '' 65 or 70 of them

had no idea until months later that
he'd been given this story."
During the conference,
Schwartz shared numerous other
documents from his file, some
notable only for their wild inac.curacy. "The government has
resources, but -- they' re incompetent,'' he reminded participants. "They don't have the
same kinds of motivations that we
do to keep working. The important thing is, don't let them stop
the work.''
He outlined several steps that
people can take to circumnavigate spying and harassment.
Obvious precautions include:
•keeping material such as

persecution. "We can counterattack -- we can use what the
government is doing against
them."
The conference concluded with
instructions on how to use the
Freedom of Information Act.
Under this act, any citizen or
organization has the right to see
his or her file. Portions pertaining
to "national security" may be
deleted at the discretion of the
FBI, CIA or other agency furnishing the file.
Of course , as several audience
members pointed out, be aware
that if you write for your file and
no file on you is now in existence

Acccording to Browne, only

water on the face of the earth is
fresh and drinkable, "and that's
not a whole lot. We'd better take
notice ... or we' re going to be in

Trudell and others expressed
dismay over journalists questioning money and motives ahead of
issues, saying only, "Something
is happening to freedom of the
press in this country, and it really
bothe~s me."

press concern for .wh_ere the

Reporters who asked about
where this "small amount of

these questions were left largely
unanswered.
Several press members later
reported similar instances of
evasiveness when questioning
spokespersons for the Pacific
Alliance, who produced the concert.

those big national things (like the
popular MUSE concert, album
and movie)." Trudell said,
"What we're hoping will come
out of these community things is
that we should be looking at all
the serious issues that are affecting the quality of our water , and
how it affects our lives .··
Trudell insists that water is the
main issue , saying , "We 're talking about people dumping contamination in the water we 're
talking about nuclear rain. . .a
whole nuclear madness that's
getting out of hand."
Floyd Westerman, a native
American singer who also performed at the concert , agreed,
stating that nuclear power plants,
mining and technology need
water, but "people, plants, and
animals need it more than
technology. Technology gets the
preference, not the people or the
life on earth ... we got to reverse
that, and make life first, not
technology and corporations . We
are now being asked by the
animals to go out and protect the
water.
One major question (the only
"real question raised , according to Raitt) was ''What can we ,
as individuals do , to be involved
in controlling this •nuclear
madness'?''
According to . Trudell,_ . "We
have to start _basic organizing at
the community level to_ real!Y
~nderstand what our ~~lat1onsh1p
1s to t~e water, pol1t1cally and
economically• We have to examine how our water is used . .
.We don't have a simple solution,
(but) we should think of our relationship to the water, and we
should start trying to find a way
(to) have more say as to how our
water is used.

Region 18 tournament

Titans and Mt. Hood
in second place duel
by Terry Rhoads
of the TORCH

A trip to the Region 18 tournament is within the LCC men's
basketball teams grasp this
Saturday in Gresham when the
Titans and host Mt. Hood collide
to determine the OCCAA's second
place team.
"It's gonna take a superb effort by everyone,'' says LCC
coach Dale Bates. "We've gotta
play solid defense, make intelligent plays on offense and
control the tempo of the game. All
of which we might be able to do.''
The Titans, who finished 8-8
overall in league play and are
13-14 overall, did just what they
needed to in handing Mt. Hood a
76-74 setback early this season.
In that contest, LCC's Greg
Brouchet, a 6-3 sophomore forward, pulled in 12 rebounds
while teammate Dave Pearson, a
freshman forward, tossed in 22
points.
To pull off another upset of the
Saints, who finished 13-3 in
league and are 20-5 overall, the
Titans will likely need a repeat
performance from Brouchet and
Pearson, along with a strong supporting cast led by Larry Towery,
a sophomore forward who's had
35 and 32 scoring totals in
separate games this season.
A big plus for the Titans Saturday could also come from Don
Bell, a 6-5 sophomore forward,
who at times has been super or
just the opposite. Bell was super
against Umpqua two weeks ago
with 23 points and 14 rebounds
as LCC squeaked by the
Timbermen 86-85. Last Saturday
in the Titans defeat to league
champion Chemeteka 80-72, Bell
was again super with 21 points.
Going into Saturday's 7:30 contest with the Saints, Bell is the
Titans second leading rebounder
and third leading scorer averaging 13.3 points per game.
Brouchet lead LCC in scoring
with his 20.3 ppg average, while
Towery is behind him with 13.4
ppg. The Titans will need
Brouchet's and Towery's points,
but Brouchet and Bell will carry
the responsibility for rebounding.
Brouchet was third in the league
in rebounding, 10.4 ppg, while
Bell was ninth with his 7.0 ppg
average.
But Mt. Hood, which led the
league in field goal shooting
percentage .502, will counter the
Titan attack with some very
talented weapons. Their biggest
and best is the leagues leading
scorer, Jason Cawthorn, who ripped the ~ts for 27.6 ppg this
season including a league high of
50 against Blue Mountain.

His side kick is another hot
shooter, Mark Donnelly, who
tossed in 18.4 ppg, as the Saints
averaged 78 ppg as a team, while
giving up 69. LCC's compared
average was 75.6 ppg, giving up
76.9.
If the Titans win, they will take
on the College of Southern Idaho
in Twin Falls, Id. Friday, Mar. 6.
Chemeteka will play North Idaho
or Ricks College that same day.

Season over
The women's basketball team
season came to a sudden end
Saturday when they lost their .
final game to Chemeteka, 67-57.
The sour defeat left the Titans in a
tie for fourth place with the winning Chiefs who completed a two
game sweep of LCC, thus
eliminating them from the league
playoffs.
The Titans finished the season
with an 8-8 record, and 10-13
overall.
The season wasn't without its
accomplishments though, as
freshman guard Dena Allen broke
the single season scoring record
with 292 points and an average of
13.3 ppg. That snapped Lori
Drew's 1979-80 record of 276
points. .
Also Lori Brumley, a 5-6
sophomore guard, set a new
career record in assists with 144,
breaking the old record, set also
by Drew (112 during 1979-80).
Brumley led the team this year in
assists with 60.
Finally Willow Willams, a 6-1
sophomore center, set a school
record for both single season and
career totals in rebounds, with
21 O grabs this season and 352
for her career.

Hixon picked
• Rob Hixon, a LCC wrestler at
142 pounds, was voted by the
coaches as an alternate to the
NJCCA Wrestling Championships
in Worthington, Mn., after ne
placed fourth in his weight class
in the Region 18 Championships
in Couer d'Alene, Id., Feb. 21.

Deba te on El Salvador:
Stories by Ron Kelley
Photos by Derek Himeda
and Bonnie Nicholas
The U.S. government is perpetuating
myths about the real conditions in El
Salvador and is masking its role , claimed'
Ruben Zamora to a crowd of 900 during the
human rights conference at the U of O last
week .
The conference , entitled " Human Rights
in ·Crisis: Latin America '' became , at one
point , the backdrop of a debate between
Zamora , a top official of the revolutionary
forces in El Salvador, and John Blacken, a
high ranking official of the State Department. The fate of tiny El Salvador
(population : 4.5 million) was emotionally
discussed at length by the two representatives.
Zamora expressed concerned about ''the
myth'' presented by the State Department
and U.S. media that the ruling government
in El Salvador was neutral and caught between the bitter rivalry of an extreme right
and an extreme left.
But, he added, '' The present government is the most brutal in our history.'' He

I

said the alliance in El Salvador between the
Christian Democrats and the military is
referred to as "the reverment of death."
Zamora was Chief of Staff under President Napolean Duarte's administration between October, 1979 and January, 1980.
Now a member of the Revolutionary
Democratic Front and the Faribundo Marti
Front for National Liberation (FDR-FMLN),
Zamora represents FDR-FM LN as a
member of the Political and Diplomatic
Commission .
He said , ''The same people that during
the day wear the uniforms of the security
forces ' ' are the same people who comprise
the right wing death squads at night.
The official political murder tally in El
Salvador was 12,075, according to figures
released in January by the Social Justice
Commission of the Archdiocese of El
Salvador( 3,000 have perished in the last
45 days). That same month, President
Carter released $5.2 million in
"non-lethal" military aid, including M-16
rifles, AK-79 grenade launchers, and Huey
helicopters.
Zamora said it was common practice for
the FDR-FMLN to hold 15 minute meetings
and to leave "before the security forces

A revolutionary and a U.S. State Dept. official
present opposing views at 2-day conference
can come to kill the people.'' He said two
days before a recent strike the security
forces occupied the city. He added, "The
people know that any demonstration will be .
attacked by the police."
Zamora defined the FDR-FMLN as a
political union of representatives from all
political parties, all trade unions all
religious organizations, the major tech nical
professional associations , as well as 92
percent of the organized working class of
El Salvador.
Blacken, director of Central American Affairs , contends there are only 700
members in the FDR-FMLN and they do not
have popular suport . He called Duarte's
administration a centrist government,
squeezed between an extreme right and
left. He later admitted Duarte's government
only has a narrow base of popular support.
When asked why an unpopular government was being propped by U.S. influence, he replied, ''We like to have
democratic governments next to our
ers. ' '
bord_
Zamora countered, saying that just one
of the member groups of the FDR-FMLN
h~d 528 members alone. Lawrence Birns,
director of the Council of Hemispheric Affairs, corroborated, saying the FDR-FMLN
had support from at least 40 to 45 percent
of various sectors of the populace, con1

trasting with an 8 to 12 percent margin of
support for the current government.
Blacken labled as failures strikes in El
Salvador and the recent "final offensive"
launched by the FDR-FMLN in January. He
presented these actions as proof that the
organization lacked popular support.
Zamora spoke of conditions which would
facilitate dialogue between the FDR-FMLN
and the U.S. , including U.S. withdrawal of
all aid and advisors from the current
regime. Equally important, he added , is
that the U.S not interfere in Salvadoran affairs. "All we ask," he said , "is to be left
alone. ''
Blacken contended that it would not be
in the best security interests of the U.S. to
withdraw support from the current junta.
One of the most controversial issues
debated was the ''White Paper' ' on Soviet
support of "terrorist activities " throughout
the world. Its present focus is alleged
Cuban and Soviet intervention in
Salvadoran affairs. Blacken admitted that
his office authored the "White Paper."
A U.S. delegation has been presenting
world governments with the •'White
Paper,'' which alledgedly documents
Soviet aid with transportation of arms to El
Salvador via Ethiopia and Vietnam.
It consists of:
•Satellite photographs depicting an increase of arms shipments and silos;
• documents seized from FDR-FMLN

. . . The third step would be all-out interve ning . .. Marines ir
TORCH: Some of the issues most difficult for the American public to
understand involve a U.S. policy of destabilization. What are some of
your concerns about the regional problems in Central America?
ZAMORA: We think that the situation in Central America and the in
volvement of the U.S. government in El Salvador has far-reaching
consequences, not only for El Salvador and for the struggle of the
Salvadoran people, but the whole region in Central America.

That 's why we say that the military involvement of the United States in El
Salvador is leading towards a regionalizatio,n of the country. To look at the situation
1n Central America , in the first place, we
have the situation of British Honduras.
British Honduras is fighting for its in~epende~?e and Guatemala is opposing
(1t). A m1l1tary involvement
of the United States in El Salvador that is supposed to _come by pushing the
Guatemalans to first invade El Salvador and so on, is going to have a direct impact in
the possibilities of British Honduras to get its independence. Secondly, we have the
situation of the Panama Canal Zone. The people of Panama are struggling to get the
sovereignty over this area. There is no doubt that if the Americans intervene massively
in El Salvador, the situation of the Canal Zone is going to get more and more difficult
for the Panamanian people.
Thirdly, we've got the situation in Nicaragua. There the revolutionary process is trying to develop to stabilize the revolution and so on, and the American government has
accused Nicaragua of helping the popular army in El Salvador. Therefore, an intervention of El Salvador is as well, and is going to have great effects on the Nicaraguan process. That is why we say that we have to look at the problem of El Salvador in a
regional context. The actual policy or the current policy of the U.S. government is
leading towards the internationalization of the conflict and the destabilization of the
. whole area.
T~RCH: The recent border disputes between Honduras and Nicaragua -- is there any
evidence that you are aware of that the United States might be implicated in that situation?
ZAMORA: We don't have any evidence of that. In that particular case, the ~nly thing
we know is that the U.S. government in Honduras has been putting pressure on the
Honduran military to help the Salvadoran government: deploying troops in the frontier ,
lending them the helicopters to fight against us. This thing we know about, the
Americans putting pressure on the Hondurans.
TORCH: How about Guatemala? You mentioned that it seems that Guatemala would
benefit by supporting the United States' policies in Central America because of the
problems of British Honduras, as well as maintaining their own power structure.
ZAMORA: Yes , I think we have to take into consideration t-hat the Guatemalan government, the military there, are very conservative people, a very repressive government.
They see the situation in El Salvador as a threat to them, and in that sense, since last
year they have been pushing the El Salvadoran military to take a harder, more
repressive line against our people. We know that they have deployed troops to the
frontier, to allow the Salvadoran army to withdraw troops from the frontier and attack
the people more easily. We know that the Guatemalans have made some small en-

croachment in Salvadoran territory, helping the Salvadoran army and we know that
they want to intervene in El Salvador. In that sense, the situation is very serious.
TORCH: Do you see that a possible tactic might be to involve Honduras and Guatemala
indirectly as a tool of United States policy before the United States might directly intervene?
ZAMORA: Oh, yes. We see the senario, if you want, in three steps. The first step is to

give to the Salvadoran army as much as possible military aid. This is the step in which
now the American government is embarked, sending arms and ammunition, advisors,
and so on.
A second step could be the intervention of Guatemalan and Honduran armies into El
Salvador. We know that this intervention is only possible if the Guatemalan and Honduran officers got the backing and the encouragement of the U.S. government.
The third step would be an all-out massive intervening with Marines in El Salvador.
In that sense, we see the intervention of Guatemala and Honduras as an intermediate
st8p.

TORCH: What about the current situation and tie-in with the "White Paper?" There is
a U.S. committee going around abroad with this "White Paper" alledging Soviet terrorism around the world, with an immediate focus on El Salvador. How serious will this
diplomatic effort on the part of the United States have in regard to the current struggle
of the revolutionary forces in El Salvador? How much is on the line?
ZAMORA: I think that we will take that move by the American government very
seriously. Because they have made all this propaganda about Vietnamese and Ethiopian and Cuban arms coming into El Salvador. But, I think the fundamental objectives
of this propaganda are not to stop the flowing of arms because they know that there is
no truth to that. In fact, they do not go to the Vietnamese or the Cubans or to the Ethiopians and tell them, ''Don't send arms to the Salvadorans.'' They go to the West Germans, Mexicans, to other governments that are not involved in that supposed situation. That shows you what are the real objectives of the move.
For us the real objectives of the current State Department campaign, ~s in the first
place, to give a legitimacy for the junta. They know that the junta is completely isolated
all around the world because of the policy of killing , repression and torture and so on.
Therefore, they want to give a cover-up as justification for their support. And secondly, the objective is to try to isolate our organization from the support we are getting
from many countries all around the world, say, for instance, from the Mexicans , the
Panamanians, the Equadorians, West Germany, Austria , Sweden and so on. And then
with this whole propaganda they want to isolate us. And, thirdly, the objective of this
propaganda is just to give legitimacy for a possible all-out intervention of the Marines
in El Salvador.
TORCH: So what is the current situation in El Salvador?
ZAMORA: When you are in a war that has been imposed on you, you always have to
take into consideration all the different possibilities. I would say that in the case of El
Salvador, we have three basic possibilities: either we win the war, or we lose the war,
or there is a stalemate. I think we have to consider these possibilities. Up to now, looking at the situation, it seems to us that we are confident that we will be able to win the
war. This is our assessment of the actual situation. But we cannot control all of the factors that go into the situation. One of the important factors is the amount of military aid
and advisors that the United States is sending or coLild send to the junta. If this factor
increas~s, as is showing , it seems to us that the effect it is going to have is to prolong
the period of the war -- making it more difficult for us to win , increasing the suffering
oi the people, the number of killing , and so on . But we know that at the end we are going to win. Because in so many cases it has been shown that when the people rebel

: warehouses during the final offensive telling of meetings between the FDR and
, Cuba;
•Confessions extracted from captured
FDR-FMLN members.
And, said Zamora, "We (all present)
now know how the security forces extract
confessions," through torture and the real
threat of murder.
"We are not fools," said Zamora, explaining that arms had been refused from
the Soviet Union because it would be used
as an excuse for direct military intervention
from the U.S.
He said El Salvador's arms sources were
home made bombs and pistols, arms
"recuperated" from the junta (U.S. and
Israeli supplied), and arms bought through
the international black market.
But the real issue, said Zamora, does ·not
concern the "White Paper." He asked,
''What does the United States government
have to do with the internal problems of El
Salvador?' '
He said U.S. complaints about Soviet
arm shipments while the U.S. supplies
military aid to the current junta is an an example of "double talk."
He added that many countries such as
West Germany, Sweden, and Mexico are
rejecting the "White Paper" diplomacy,
and that the United Nations General
Assembly voted overwhelmingly to suspend all aid to the current junta.
Zamora said that unless the U.S. begins
to recognize the validity of liberation struggles, ''the United States will be totally
isolated from all of the popular movements
around the Third World.

'No Vietnam -like struggle-'
John Blacken, director of Central American Affairs,
responded to similar questions asked of Rueben Zamora
during an hour long press conference. Blacken's schedule
did not permit for an in-depth interview. Below are some of
the press conference highlights.
•Blacken does not believe that the U.S. is destabilizing
the Central American region by intervening in El Salvador.
He said he does not think that Honduras or Guatemala will intervene militarily in El Salvador.
•He said the U.S. has "no intention of being provoked into a Vietnam-like struggle.'' He said that kind of intervention would concern too many of El Salvador's neighbors.
He said we will not militartly intervene. He admitted that
ships can be diverted to that area, but there are '' no
plans.''
/
•He claimed Nicaragua attempted to export
/
revolution to El Salvador. He said it was
•'foolhardy for them to have done that (to send
troops.) He said, "We (the State Department) straightened them out. . . and had
some very frank talks with them.'' He said if
Nicaragua can not control the use·of their territory and '' stop the flow of arms and men'' to
El Salvador there will be additional sanctions,
probably economic.
•Originally, he stated that if the U.S.
withdrew all aid and advisors from the current
junta, it would surely fall to a right wing
coup .. The Torch prompted Blacken to look
beyond that possibility. He replied, '' probably
in the long term," the left wing forces would
gain control; '· A very right wing government
would ... in the end lose."

in El Salvador'
against a government, anE:I when the people are fed up with the government and want
a different government, in the end the people win. You know, we have the experience
-of Viet Nam with all the American aid put there, all the Americans who died and were
wounded there, and in the end the Vietnamese won. Because the people were against
the American and the Soviet regimes. The same was in Nicaragua and in many places.
In that sense then, of course, we take it very seriously, this pouring in of American
military aid. And this seems to us to have a very negative affect on our people.
TORCH: If the State Department did not intervene via aid, advisors, or actual military
intervention, what do you feel would be the ultimate outcome of the struggles in El
Salvador?
ZAMORA: I think that if the American government pulls out from El Salvador, the outcome would be that the conflict that now exists is going to be solved -very rapidly. It is
going to be solved in a positive way. That means in terms of the wishes of the popula- tion of the people. Why is that? That is because, inside the Salvadoran army, there is
an important group of officers that are democratic officers. They stay with the other otficers, because the American government has been making a lot of efforts to keep all
the military together.
If the Americans pull out from El Salvador, we know that those officers are going
to come to the side of the democratic and revolutionary forces and that will help solve
the problem more easily. In that sense, the contention of the State Department that if
they pull out from El Salvador there is going to be a very right wing military regime,
even more right wing than the actual one, is not a correct assessment of the situation.
The contrary is going to happen.
TORCH: You have talked about U.S. investments being as low as less than 2 percent
in El Salvador. However, I have read figures where through the Caribbean areas,
somewhere in the neighborhood of 65 percent of our oil is being transported. Also,
there has been some mention of a three pole area from Florida, El Salvador, and the
South Bahamas, in terms of coordinating that oil traffic. So there seems to be two
areas -- one would be strategic in terms of where El Salvador is located because
Nicaragua used to perform that function and no longer does, and the other would be
the potential stoppage of the oil flow, assuming that there is actually going to be
democratic (non-alligned) countries in Central America. Do you have any comments
about that?
ZAMORA: In the first place, if there are democratic regimes in Central America, if the
FDR (Revolutionary Democratic Front) wins in El Salvador and so on, I think that the
American people have nothing to fear from us. Because what we want to have is a good
relation. We consider ourselves friends of the American people. We live in the same
continent. We h&ve a lot in common. We want to be respected by the American government. This is for a starter. Then going into your question, it is true that the actual
American economic investment in El Salvador is not a very important one in terms of
the amount of the investment. Most of this investment has been made through joint
ventures with Salvadoran capital and ih industry that is not the sector most developed
of our ecoimmy. In that sense it is not very important. The reasons why the Americao
government is so worried about El Salvador and wants to keep that sort of right wing
regime and so on, are mostly as you say, of a strategic value, and the so called domino
theory.
They fear that they lost Nicaragua, they said, and now they are going to lose El
Salvador and then they' II lose Guatemala and Honduras and the whole of Central
America is going to be lost from their influence. I would say that this is a wrong way to
think about the problem, because the American government does not own our country.
Therefore, they cannot lose anything there, you see. We are not property of the
American government. In that sense then, it is a reasonable decision, and not an emotional one. or or an ideological one, to accept the change in Central America and try to

work out a new relationship with the Central American government. On our part we are
going to be prepared to have and to work towards this good relationship with the
United States -- respecting each other, not trying to interfere tn the affairs of each
other, and in that sense that is all that we ask, and we want.
TORCH: So, essentially, you are saying that the United States has everything to gain?
ZAMORA: Yes, I think so. If the United States looks at its policies toward Latin
America, not in terms of.owning countries, controlling governments, but in terms of
relationships with independent governments, they don't have to fear anything.
TORCH: The Nicaraguan officials have made comments, first of all about having a mixed economy -- 60 percent private sector and 40 percent publicly owned. They have
also made comments about having a distinctly Nicaraguan revolution, particularly
because it's been called '' another Cuba.'' They've made strong efforts to convince the
United States and the world of their nonallignment policies. Do you feel that El
Salvador would be going along the same road as Nicargua?
lAMORA: In that sense it is quite clear. Because we have said from the very beginning
and our programs say that. The only policy that seems to us would be a wise policy for
a country like El Salvador, would be a nonallignment policy. In that sense, we are
prepared to have that policy, in fact we are applying that policy from now on.
I was recently in New Delhi at the meeting of the nonalligned countries, explaining
what was the situation of our country -- what was our struggl~. In that sense, this is
the kind of thing we want. Our revolution is not made in 1Cuba It cannot be made in
Cuba, because the root of our revolution is inside El Salvador -- in the injustice, in the
way our people have been treated by the security forces and the army and so on. From
there on we want to build up a new country, a country for the Salvadoran people, and
not for the small minority that we call the oligarchy.
TORCH: The strongest thing I am hearing about what Americans can do to help the
struggles of the liberation forces in El Salvador is to stay out. Is there any more you
would like to add in terms of what we as individuals can do here?
ZAMORA: I think so. The American people have a very important role to play in our
struggk3 as they played a very important role in the struggle in Viet Nam. In that sense
we need the solidarity of the American people. Solidarity in_terms of putting pressure
in its own government to change its policy towards El Salvador. Solidarity, in terms of
help for the refugees. Help for the people of El Salvador materially. And solidarity, in
terms of moral support for our struggle. In that sense, solidarity movements have been
developing here in the United States and it seems to have made a very important contribution to our struggle. For instance, for the workers of El Salvador who are suffering
such a terrible repression to know that the workers here in the United States, in the
docks, to a degree, are boycotting arms shipments to El Salvador is a very good moral
support. They know that with that action the American workers are saving lives in El
Salvador.
TORCH: Reagan made statements that we are no longer going to be involv,ed in
human rights in foreign policy. Does' nt that have a dramatic affect in terms of shoring
up the confidence of dictators throughout Latin America and other Third World countries?
ZAMORA: Yes, of course. I can tell you that without Reagan making that announcement -- just the election of Reagan was a big lift for the most extreme right wing. In
San Salvador for instance, when the news was heard through the radio, in the part of
the town where the oligarchy lives there was shooting in the air celebrating the victory
of Reagan. In that sense then, all those declarations of the State Department or other
advisors, in the sense that they are not any more very concerned about human rights
and so on, is just some sort of confirmation for the right wing dictatorships.

REVIEWS

Movies------ - M u s i c - - - - - - - - - - - - Tribute
Valley River Twin Cinema
Parent-child relationships are
by nature very fragile , even under
the best of circumstances. More
and more films are exploring the
reasons for this fragility -- Kramer
vs. Kramer, Ordinary People, and
now Tribute.
Tribute stars Jack Lemmon as
Scottie Templeton, a lovable,
laughable personality who has the
grand ability of making everybody
in the same room with him happy .
His world of pranks, laughter,
and general b.s. is suddenly invaded by terminal cancer.
His good friend and doctor
(played by Colleen Dewurst) insists he undergo treatment immediately, which he refuses on
the basis of his son 's impending
visit.
His college-age son arrives to
spend the summer with him. Jud
Templeton is not amused by his
father. In fact , he thinks Dear Old
Dad is a total failure.
The brittleness between father
and son is all too obvious . Neither
feels accepted by the other, both
are on the defensive.
When Scottie takes Jud and a
prostitute he has known for some
time to his favorite restuarant via
limousine, she explains how prostitution was never meant to be a
full-time occupation for her, but a
means to an end (the end being a
shop of her own). The threesome
walk in on a surprise
'' testimonial-retirement''
$200-a-plate luncheon for--you
guessed it--Scottie' s favorite
hooker.
The moment is a funny one, but
it also shows the depth of Scottie 's compassion and humanness. Somehow it doesn 't touch
Jud. He walks away disgusted .
The ex-Mrs Templeton finds
out about Scott 's terminal condition and while Jud and his
girlfriend are out painting the
town , Mom and Dad spend a
beautiful (and much needed)
night together.
When Jud returns the next
morning to find his mother calling , " Scottie, have you seen my
skirt , I can 't find it . . . " , ten
years of pent-up anger and
resentment explode. Jud lashes
out without restraint , Scottie
leaves the house and Jud's
mother tells him that Scott is dy-

ing . " I wish I could tell you that I
feel something, " he says , " but I
don't. "
My immediate reaction to this
unfeeling response was anger.
But there is one thing about
children, you can 't fool them. No
matter how beautiful Scottie's
relationships with other people
are, his relationship with Jud
stinks .
H-e wants Jud to be like him.
Funny, loose, spontaneous, but
not serious tor God's sake.
Coupled with the rejection Jud
has felt all these years by a
divorce that was never explained
to him, he feels rejected on the
basis of who he is .
After some intense introspection, Jud hunts his father down,
locating him at a near-by
restaurant. He has his father's
packed suitcase with him. They
are going to the hospital, Jud informs Scottie. Why? ' ' Because
before you die, I want to feel
something for you, and I'm just
not ready to do that yet .' '
The next few months are captured by photographer Jud, all
the pain, all the hope, all the wanting, and the essence of what
Scottie is all about.
Later (after they let Scott think
he's forgotten) Jud, girlfriend
and best friend whisk him off
(via limosine of course) to a
tribute, heralded by neon lights,
planned and executed by Jud .
One by one, friends get up to
tell what Scottie Templeton
means to them -- and for
most.Scottie Templeton means
love.
To everyone, that is, but Jud,
who disappears again in the middle of the show.
'' If there is one thing I have
wanted to communicate to my
son, " says Scottie, "it is that life
must have passion. If your life
has no passion, it has no life."
Jud comes down the aisle.rescuing Scott with an old
vaudeville routine taught to him
when he was six years old. If not
healed, the wounds are at least
anesthetized
Tribute is not the kind of film
everyone will understand. Some
people will side with Jud; Scottie
Templeton's life was basically
worthless in terms of accomplishments and laurels.
Others will sense the passion of
simply being, and wish they
knew how to get there. By Sarah

Theatre------ USA

Idealistic faith in American
potential, beginning with the progressive movement and going
through the Depression, is the
theme and setting of ORT' s latest
production--U SA.
This excellent satire on the
American dream is enhanced by
the impressive portrayal of the
eager young men and women of
the fast-paced era, and by the
absence of props . .
One feels transported to the
thick of those symbolic 30 years
in American history. The
energetic background cries of
memorable events such as
'' Remember the Maine'' and
"Unionization" reverberate in
our consciousness as we travel
through the time capsule.

driving capitalist Moorehouse,
plays his part eloquently with just
the right amount of calculated
pretentiousness.
As does Kitty Parks in her portrayal of Moorehouse ' s bitchy
wife who turns from innocent
beauty to mouthy suspicious
beast.
I adore Joanie Schumacher's
performance as Moorehouse ' s
pro-suffragette secretary. She
glides through he" role with the
dance-like independence of a
gazelle--forever free .
And we can 't forget Steven
Boergadine as Dick Savage who
carries on the American Dream in
the form of a public relations executive ·after Moorehouse passes
on. He symbolizes a reincarnation
of Moorehouse and American
idealism, and does so with a
vigorous air of professionalism .
The superb period costumes,
designed by Amy Van Emery,
contribute richly to the exciting
mood of social and moral
upheaval; from drab to flapper.
• USA is an excellent and poignant play for our time, especially
since the political tide is shifting
once more. by Chris Abramson

Chances are, you didn't go to college to get
a promotion in the Army. But your associate' s degree
actually entitles you to enter the Army as an E3.
(That's two pay grades above the regular entry level.)
And it's a surprisingly good way to put your degree to
•
work for you.
Thetechnol ogythrough outtoday'sm odern
Army is increasingly complex, and we need intelligent, self-disciplined people for two-year enlistments.
In the Army, you'll find that the same qualities that helped you earn your
degree will lead to even greater

enlistment. Later, in civilian life, you may be surprised to discover just how smart you were to combine
two years of Army with an associate's degree.
Remember, only the Army offers you a
two-year enlistment option with all the benefits of military life (including generous educational assistance).

. The TORCH Februar

Editor's note: This week's Forum
was contributed by Language
Arts instructor Jerome Garger.

Angered over Reagan's policy? Join Giraffes
Some years ago I read
Buckminster Fuller's I Seem to
Be a Verb -- not much of a book
actually, but the title has long intrigued me. The title implies, to
me, that people categorize
themselves, build barbed-wire
fences around themselves and
their self-imposed labels, and
staunchly defend themselves
against change.
Me? I'd rather be a verb. At
this moment in America basic
change is absolutely necessary
because of the massive failure of
our major institutions. I also know
that I've changed considerably in
my chronological years here on
spaceship earth and .suspect that
I' II change in the future.
My following words are what I
now believe. I hope by writing
them to start a dialogue with the
folx in the LCC community. I
believe that an honest sharing of
what most concerns us, learning
more about the issues involved,
and translating that concern into
positive action will enable us to
change ourselves and the world
we inhabit.
If you are pleased with the
direction things are going since
the recent election in this country, this article is not for you. I
would recommend that you watch
the jiggle shows on TV instead or
the next Stupor Bowl. Less power
to you, I say.
Life, folx, is short. It's time to
get on with what needs doing.
But first a word about patriotism.
Leo Tolstoy in Patriotism and
Government said, '· Every writer,
teacher, and professor is more
secure in his place the more he
preaches patriotism.'' Now what
old Leo clearly recognized is that,
if you want to get ahead, it's best
to go along with the system. I
suspect he's right about that kind
of patriotism. Samuel Johnson
called that sort of patriotism ''the
last refuge ·of a scoundrel." Al
Capone tried to hide behind the
flag. Tricky Dicky and Slippery
Spiro during the Vietnam War
tried to limit patriotism to
mindless, Silent Majority support
of their policies. But forget that
stuff. I think that the real patriot
cares about the well being of the
country and its people, so what
I'm about to say is patriotic in the
best sense of the word.
Basically, my contention is that
our well being, our "national
security,'' is being threatened by
the vast majority of our political,
military, and corporate ''leaders''
and that we, the people, will have
to learn to lead ourselves.
My evidence? There isn't room
in this article for all of it, but I 'II
touch on a few of- my major concerns. I'm not, however, going to
point out merely what's wrong
without offering some tentative
solutions. Like my old ma used to
say though, "You don't have to
be able to lay a good egg to know
a rotten one when you taste it.''
Most Americans, in my. opinion, have lost their common
sense because we have lost touch
with our senses. How else could
we eat the tasteless, lifeless junk .

filled with preservatives and
covered with pesticides that
passes as food in our ''super''
markets and fast-food fakeries?
How could we not smell the
brownish-gray smog that poisons
our crowded, industrialized cities
sliced up by freeways? How could
we not cry out at the rape of
Earth, our Mother, by the
bulldozer mentality? Or anguish
at the destruction of our farmland
through intensive agribusiness
techniques using inorganic fertilizers? Or weep at 1he mistreatment of animals through factory
farming methods? Or gag at the
poisoning of our water by toxic
sprays we used in Vietnam?
It's all coming close to home,
folx. Near Corvallis 1,700 barrels
of industrial chemicals, some of
them toxic, sit rusting in the rain
and seeping their filth into the
ground water. Last week's
TORCH describes in detail the
dangerous mess at the Bloomburg Road Dump, two hundred
yards off 30th Avenue near LCC.
What goes around comes around.
Dr. Barry Commoner, internationally respected scientist and
recent Citizens Party candidate
for President, gets to the heart of
the problem: "The lesson of the
environmental crisis is, then,
clear,'' he says. '' If we are to
survive, ecological considerations
must guide economic and political
ones."
First economic considerations:
Deficit spending, increasing
unemployment, balance of trade
problems, massive military spending, skyrocketing inflation -- you
know the list. The Reagan
Regime's solutions to these
economic ills are at best
ludicrous, laughable if they did
not have tragic consequences for
the poor and needy. What are the
solutions? Increased high
technology energy production
despite its effects on the
ecosystem; bailing out the
manufacturers of maximum-profit
gashogs; increased military spending; and the removal of controls
from our benevolent oil corporations -- clearly an example of collusion between high-priced politi- .
cians and berserk piggie
capitalism at its worst.
Nor, I'm afraid, would the
Democrats have been much better. Every four years the
American electorate plays the
game of selecting the militarist
supporter of multinational corporations of our choice. There's
little difference though. That's
why only 52.3 percent of the
eligible voters (the lowest percentage in 32 years) even bothered to
vote. The people are sick of
voting for the lesser of two evils,
the evil of two lessers.
There is one significant difference, though, between the
Democans and the Republocrats
in Washington D.C. (and many
significant differences on local
levels). The difference is that
those now smugly in power are
more obviously and blatantly
oinkers. Witness the royal display
of diamonds, limousines, and

$10,000 tasteless evening gowns
at the Inauguration festivities.
What's ahead by 1984 is that
the poor wtll get poorer, the rich
much richer, and middle class
folx the squeeze and the shaft.
Check out Reagan's proposed
budget cuts for verification.
If Ronnie has no cure for the
economic and domestic crisis
though, he does have a diversion.
It's not a new one however. Will
Shakespeare, that master
playwright and astute observer of
politicians, described the method
of diversion about four centuries
ago in his history play II Henry IV.
Henry Bolingbroke, the dying
king, advises his son and heir
how to head off civil revolt:
"Therefore, my Harry ,/Be it thy
course to busy giddy minds/With
foreign quarrels.''
There you have it, folx. The
domestic problems go unsolved;
but meanwhile back at the
Washington D.C. ranch, Rawhide
Ronnie Reagan and Atomic Alexander Haig, his trusty sidekick,
are preparing another Vietnam for
us, this time closer to home.
Their propaganda assistants are
the AP, UPI, the CIA, the loyal,
self-serving professional liars in
the Pentagon and the State
Department, and the three major
TV networks. They've dusted off
the old International Communist
Conspiracy_hype to justify spending your and my tax dollars to
kill landless peasants in El
Salvador. All in the name of God,
Honor, and Freedom, of course.
The first casualty in any war
must be Truth. The method? Very
simple: Control of the minds of the
American public. So Atomic Alex
fires the American ambassador to
El Salvador for telling the truth
despite his years of irreproachable service; he replaces
him with his boy; he sends propaganda teams to allied countries
to coerce support.
.
Then comes the process of
rewriting history, obscuring the
facts. These guys practiced during Vietnam. Now they're at it
again. The method? Forget the
murdered Catholic Archbishop;
forget the moderate, liberal, and
leftist leaders dragged off from a
meeting by Security Forces and
right-wing Death Squads to be
tortured and murdered; forget the
10,000 or so peasants and
civilians
killed
and
"disappeared"; forget the
American missionary worker and
the three American nuns that
were raped and murdered by the
people that our tax money is supporting; forget that we're supporting a handful of immensely
wealthy landowners in their war
against the poor people of El
Salvador.
Then the biggie: Headlines all
across the country for the White
Paper -- 178 pages of
''evidence''
entitiled
"Communist Interference in El
Salvador.'' This scam from the
bad actor who called Iran
''barbaric'' in its treatment of the
hostages and who called what we
did in Vietnam "noble.".

Buried deep in the AP news
release of 2/23 is the real reason
we' re supporting the rich in Latin
America: ''The administration
also decided to release its findings to bOild public support for
actions to ensure that El Salvador
remains friendly toward western
interests.'' Whose interests? Not
yours and mine, folx, but those of
United Fruit Company and the
huge multinational corporations
exploiting Latin America, the
same super-rich oinkers who are
ripping off the average American.
The solutions are not simple.
We m_ust clearly do something,
though, as our "leaders" oink
their way to a nuclear holocaust. I
won't presume to tell you the
answers for you. But I can share
some changes I've made that
worked for me over the last 1Oto
15 years or so.
My general method? Replace ,
harmful, negative, self-polluting
addictions with positive ones. For
me, that meant the intake of
tobacco, liquor, pop, junk food,
coffee, sugar, and meat had to be
eliminated completely or cut way
down. I also sold my TV set,
which freed up an enormous
amount of time.
With the negative addictions all
but eliminated, the positive ones
gradually happened. A better diet
meant better health and more
energy. Without TV there was
time to read, research, think,
discuss, reflect. I started ealing
low on the food chain (wholesome
vegetarian food). Walking, bicycling, or hitchhiking replaced
automatic reliance on the gas hog.
I cut wood to thwart EWEB a bit. I
bought small and locally to keep
bucks in the community and out
of the hands of big supermarkets,
chain stores, franchises. I've
dropped out of the car-andclothing fashion parade. What
else? Yoga, meditation, organic
gardening, composting, careful
recycling, running (though some
would call it jogging).
In short, I've tried to honor the
temple of my body, listen to the
urgings of my heart, and prepare
the way for the enlightening of my
spirit. And, if this sounds too
smug and self-satisfied to you, let
me assure you that I am still a

fallible human being and at times
the same schlemiel I was many
moons ago.
But that's not all, folx. The selfindulgent ME trips of the 70s are
over. The Ronnie Raygun 80s are
upon us with a vengeance . It's
time for action.
The Age of the Slug, the
Sheep, and the Ostrich is past.
Today is the day of the Eagle, the
Coyote, and the Giraffe: the keen
vision of the eagle, the
resourceful survivor skills of the
coyote, the willingness of the
giraffe to stick its neck out.
Consequently, I hereby extend
a formal invitation to all concerned people in the LCC community
' to join the LCC Giraffe Club. The
only prerequisite is that you be
willing to extend yourself, to stick
your neck out a bit. All are invited: janitors, board members,
students, secretaries, teachers,
maintenance personnel, administrators, whoever.
The LCC Giraffe Club will be
based on the principle that
democratic,
cooperative,
creative, nonviolent people working together can solve some problems, first close to home and
then on a larger scale.
If you are interested, please
slip a note with your name, address, and phone number under
my office door (Center 461) or
leave a phone message with
Renee at Ext. 2419. Our first
meeting will be soon. Watch The
TORCH and bulletin boards for
further information. If you can't
make the first meeting, I'll send
you a newsletter to keep you informed.
Collectively we can decide what
to do and how to do it. From one
small success will spring other
successes. By golly, little Eugene
may be the location for the humble beginnings of a worldwide
Giraffe movement for peace,
freedom, and justice. Why not?
We have to start somewhere.
Here and now will do.
The longest journey begins
with that first decisive step. The
new day dawns for those who are
awake. There is beauty and joy
and power and love in each of us.
I hope to hear from you.
