Lane Community College Vol. 22, No. 13 January 28, 1982 - Eehi ihu J J, 1982 4000 E. 30th Ave. Eugene, OR 97405 Stu ent loans may be reduced 8 % New regulations proposed by the US Department of Education could drastically reduce loan availability at LCC and many other Oregon colleges with high default rates, school officials announced Jan. 20. The new regulations would cut federal loan funds to LCC by eight percent next year. Federal funds account for about one-third of LCC's National Direct Student Loan (NDSL) funds. The other twothirds comes from loan repayments. The federal government will not loan money to students at Defaulted loan rate serves as guide for loan cuts schools with a default rate higher than 25 percent. A school's default rate is used to describe the percentage of students at that school who do not pay back NDSLs. Under federal regulations, a loan is defined as ''in default'' if no payment has been received in 120 days. The new regulation would apply to schools with a default rate of between IO and 25 percent. Such schools would have their aid money reduced by the amount of defaulted loan payments they did not collect. LCC's default rate, unofficially estimated at about 18 percent, falls within the Department of Education's regulatory plans. With an 18 percent default rate, monies currently available in federal loans at LCC would probably be reduced by eight percent for the 1982-83 school year, LCC's rate being that far above the accepted maximum under the new regulations. of student." ''The kind of students that we are committed to serving are often low-income students, disadvantaged students,'' she says. "They are the students who have trouble finding employment. They can't pay back their loans if they can't get a job." And she adds that an 18 perTurn to LOANS, page 3 Frances Howard, director of financial aid, says that LCC's default rate really isn't unusual "considering our type 'Highly controlled' short term proposed Summer closure ruled out; but tuition may get a boost to run the campus during the summer mqnths. A study re mmending tuition increases or surcharges, a shorter summer session and several other changes to LCC's summer term is now being reviewed by LCC administrators. ''The college should continue to offer a summer term,'' begins a list of recommendations included in the study. However, Gerald Rasmussen, dean of instruction, says next summer term may be four weeks shorter and will be a ''tightly controlled, productive'' term. LCC President Eldon Schaf er last May asked Rasmussen to perform a summer closure study during fall term. :Rasmussen presented the study and 12 recommendations to Schafer Jan. 14. Rasmussen says the study results point to a reduced session as the most efficient way :Ilili: I Ashland artist ~~t~:e~:~~~:;. U of An tlf: displays smuggled art from ~- Schafer, too, seems to favor a shorter summer session. In a memo concerning the study sent to budget managers and the college cabinet, he says, "It's my tentative conclusion that. .. the eight-week summer session holds considerable potential for improving the efficiency of our summer activities." The memo also requests comments on the 12 recommendations. Schafer has set a Jan. 29 deadline for suggestions and will probably make a recommendation concerning the summer session to the LCC Board at its Feb. IO meeting. The study focuses on instructional -- that is, class related -- programs. The study showed that the drawbacks of a summer closure would be more than the benefits when considering non-instructional areas such as maintenance and administration. In the student services area, for example, the financial aid office prepares financial aid packages, assists students with applications and notifies students of their status during the summer months. In the facilities area, the study says, the short-term savings of a summer closure ''would be offset by long-term costs.'' And the study showed that more students than expected would be affected by a closure. Questionairres returned by 573 students showed that nearly half would have to interrupt or delay their schooling or would lose veterans benefits and other income sources if the school closed next summer. So the study "developed in- Nuts to you If a student and a half can eat a bowl and a half in a day and a half, how the heck do you keep the peanut bowl full? Evelyn Tennis pondered this question last Monday and decided that the peanuts she traditionally offers to passersby from a bowl on her desk were "just going too fast." She reluctantly came to the conclusion that she simply couldn't afford to continue to offer the tasty tubers to passing students and staff. It looked as if Evelyn's peanut bowl would be the first LCC service to bite the dust due to buqget restrictions. But wait. Somehow, Marna Crawford and James Dieringer in the LCC campus ministry got wind of Evelyn's plight. They were responsible, reliable sources say, for the appearance of a large box on Evelyn's desk last Tuesday morning. Carefully wrapped in newspapers and adorned with a newspaper bow, the box contained 25 pounds of peanuts. Evelyn says the new supply should last "at least 25 or 30 days.''

Most people consider the resumption of a military draft as a remote possibility. However, contrary to campaign promises, President Reagan has recently extended military registration for 18-year old men and Selective Service regulations are already in place in the event the draft is reinstituted. Many observers believe it is only a matter of time. For this reason, it is important to be familiar with existing laws and how the draft will work if it is enacted.

Failure to do so is punishable by five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. The reality is that as many as one million men have failed to comply with this law since it was enacted under President Carter in 1980. As of yet, no criminal prosecutions have begun although it is expected that the U.S. Department of Justice will soon seek indictments in a few dozen test cases. The choice of whether or not to register is an important one in a young man's life and needs to be decided based on good information _and careful reflection. Even though claims, exemptions and deferments cannot be filed with the Selective Service until an actual draft is started, young ·men need to prepare now. In particular, those who have an interest in obtaining Conscientious Objector status should see a draft counselor immediately. Waiting until later could adversely affect any chance for success. The same holds true, although to a lesser extent, for medical deferments and hardship exemptions. If you think that you can wait out any future draft by staying in school with a student deferment (as many did during the Vietnam era}, forget it. Current regulations allow for student deferments only until the end of the school term in which the Induction Notice is given. Student Legal Services is sponsored by the ASLCC and offers confidential draft counseling as well as pertinent literature on the subject.

An estimated 250 workers will lose their jobs, and Oregon will be without a state job-finding service for the first time since 1933. An employment division official said the state is about $J.3 million short of the necessary funding to operate normally through September. 3 ( After the the camp us' snow blanket finally melted, the real work began for LC C's grounds maintenance crew.

Nuclear emergency shuts plant down NEW YORK -- Workers stopped a leak at a nuclear power plant in Rochester, New York, Monday, but not before it sent radioactive steam into the air. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the plant's owner, Rochester Gas and Electric Co., said the public was not in danger. However, a "site emergency " -- the second highest nuclear emergency classification -was declared. It began when a tube ruptured in a cooling system at the Ginna plant. Those at the plant said the reactor shut dowp. automatically when pressure dropped because of the leaking water. An NRC spokesperson said about 8,000 gallons of slightly radioactive water leaked into a container inside the plant. He claimed the water was not dangerous. Weather about to break some records MIDWEST -- The National Weather Service says 76 percent .of the surface of the continent is now decked in white. During last week's peak, snow reached at least part of all 50 states, covering more than three quarters of the continent. Abortion groups march on Capitol WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Jan. 22 marked the ninth anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling which legalized most abortions. Pro-Choice and Pro-Life groups demonstrated at state capitols as well as the nation's capitol. The President delivered a message reaffirming his anti-abortion stand by calling on anti-abortion groups to unite behind one of two bills currently dividing them. When Congress reconvenes this week, they will review a proposal to enact state-by-state legislation which could result in tougher rules. Judge lifts ban on books MAINE -- Students at a high school in Baileyville, Maine will now be able to find the book "365 Days" on their school library shelves. A federal judge last week lifted a ban on the higlily acclaimed book about Americans wounded in Vietnam. The book was banned after parents complained that it contained obscene language. U of O toughens standards . Community college students planning to tran fer to the U of O will face stricter general education re irements this fall. Howev. r, the new requireme ts will not be implemente for all entering students until the fall of 1985. The University Assembly announced that new graduation requirements will affect freshman and undergraduate students with less than 30 credits of college study. "Under the requirements which have now been approved, the faculty has reintroduced some structure into undergraduate education with the goal of eliminating the smorgasbord approach to learning,'' said Robert Berdahl, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the U of 0. The new requirements are intended to improve the breadth and depth of general undergraduate education at the university, according to Berdahl. Three key elements in the new graduation requirements include: • Restricting the number of arts and sciences courses which qualify as groupsatisfying courses to insure that all included courses are introductory and liberal in nature, not specialized and intended for students who major in the subject. All U of 0 students must take courses in the three groups: humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. • Restricting to three the number of courses students may take in one department to satisfy their group requirements. This is intended to increase the breadth of students' education. Students could previously take six group-satisfying courses in one department. • Requiring students to take a certain number of closely related courses, termed "clusters." This is intended to increase the depth of undergraduate study. The stricter requirements are an addition to a series of measures approved by the University Assembly in recent years to improve educational standards. In the past few years, the faculty/student governing body has also approved two tougher en trance requirements. Starting in the fall of 1981, entering freshman had to have a score of 30 or better on the Test of Standard Written English. And in the fall of 1982, in-state students will have to have a 2.75 high school grade point average, the same average required of out-of-state freshmen. Berdahl stressed, however, Photo by Bonnie Nicholas that students will continue to have more freedom of choice than their counterparts had in the 1960's, since just half of the group satisfying courses will have to be taken in clusters. "In the 1960's, students had to take all of their groupsatisfying classes in threecourse sequences. They had limited freedom of choice in planning their studies,'' Berdahl said. The changes in the early 1970' s went to the other extreme, allowing students to select almost any course in the College of Arts and Sciences to meet their group requirements. Students in the professional schools will take 12 groupsatisfying courses, half of them in two clusters of three courses each. Students in arts and sciences will take 18 groupsatisfying courses, half of them in three clusters of three courses each. '' Our goal is to see that all students who graduate from the University of Oregon have the opportunity to gain an appreciation for how the various disciplines approach the analysis of problems," Berdahl said. "We want students to understand how a scientist thinks, how a humanist thinks, how a social scientist thinks.''

NCC's 1982-83 loan plans may not fare much better. Their default rate was 25.23 percent as of last June, and although a new billing system has drastically lowered that rate to 8 percent, the federal government will presumably use last June's rate for loan allocation. The Department of Education did not have figures for last year, but 1980 figures indicate that 26 of 46 Oregon schools handling federal loans would be affected. Some schools, however, have improved their default rates since 1980. to one almost exclusively credit classes in an eight- or devoted to the instructional ten-week session. program."

She goes on to say that although many loan recipients miss the six-month deadline for beginning repayment after they get out of school, "we'll probably get most of that money eventually. If we can't get it, a collection agency tries.· If they can't, the government tries. But we usually get it." NDSLs are one major type of loan. The other, Guaranteed Student Loans (GSL), are funded through private banks and charge a higher interest rate (nine percent) than the federal loans (five percent). Twice as many LCC students received GSLs this year as last, and with the addition of greater amounts of money available per GSL loan, this is a fact that concerns Howard. ''The more money available that the students take, the more in debt they are when they leave," she says. LCC is one of two Eugene area colleges affected by the new regulations. The University of Oregon is well under the maximum default rate at eight percent, but Northwest Christian College (NCC) suffered loan allocation loss of about P~g~,4•J~1J\lar:y_2-8,.

As it is, we don't even have to do that because what we need to work on has been given to us.'' "I really don't want to get into the scrap metal business,'' says Mechanics department head Howard Dull, "but the donations we get are a big help to our program.'' He cites prohibitive buying expense as another reason why the donations are such a valuable asset to the automotive program: "Since most of the donations would cost a great deal of money to go out and buy, they have eliminated the need to spend money.'' Even a passing glance at this year's crop of donations seems to confirm Dull' s view. Made up of more than six cars and other items ranging from a fuel compass to an aviation engine, the list is a direct reflection of the generosity -or desperation to unload "junk" -- of people aware of LCC's need for instructional equipment. These "toys" are autos, farm machinery, and aviation parts donated to LCC's Machine Technology department. And though far from closet-sized, they are nevertheless a form of forgotten Christmas presents. For the last four years, usually during the holiday season, many LCC staff and non-staff members have donated parts of dead or dying autos to those who can use them -- students in training to repair or rebuild engines, brake systems and transmissions. And although a time-worn, battered car may not seem like a typical Christmas donation, Combined with a cash donation of $1,000 and scrap metal sales totaling $21,000, the automotive department's Christmas salvage celebration is worth about $56,300, "a great amount of money,'' Dull says. "If we hadn't had them (the donations)," he continues, "we could have bought maybe ~Co ..., ...'-' , ,. b0,,. ':::!,,."',, Although most of the parts are used only for instructional purposes, some rebuilding and refurbishing is done. For example, one recently _donated car's condition was good enough to warrant restoration. When students have finished restoring the car, Dull says, it will probably be sold "for not much of a profit.'' "The real value is in the experience," he says. "We probably won't sell that car for more than a few hundred dollars over what we put into it, but it's a ,good project." The donations are not a one-sided boon, either. They can be used as tax deductions. And, as with any kind of donation, there are certain requirements as to what can be given. "We usually won't take any cars and such earlier than ,.o"' o n. ,5 ~;., \..'tr <.' _....._o~ .. ,, b,'tl' 0~ o~ .;_,,S. -... o<- ., (.;'ti' ,.:.'ti' q,, -Q ~q,, ,s,...... c<.. // " // // 1970," says Dull. "We don't have the manuals or the catalogs to work on those things. "And," he says as a way of warning, "we usually won't take anything that can't be brought to campus. We don't have wrecking capability, so what we get has already got to be here." And donations don't stop at the end of the Christmas season. Dull notes that another donation drive involving area car dealers is upcoming. "We think we'll be able to double what we've got by the end of the year,'' he concludes. Just about the time Christmas rolls around again, no doubt. state board quc;1/ifying exam / .J.q, q,~ bq, ~q "'" q,.._q, .._.,'I> ,....,, ..._.:,; ., 'I> .:;"' ,:: ., q, q;.1 c:, "", b " ' o~ o"' .;,,,;- ,S-q, ,<- Students in the LCC auto shop work with donated parts LCC nursing students shine on ,~y q,.:;.

Kirkpatrick had refused to visit human rights groups and chose instead to visit government dignitaries. The Chilean officials took her statement to be a message from the US that their violations of human rights was acceptable. Sinister cooperation Barrios was one of the guests at Human Rights: Crisis in the Southern Cone, an all-day conference held Saturday, Jan. 23 at the U of 0. The conference was sponsored by Amnesty International and the Eugene Council on Human Rights in Latin America. Conference speakers documented the "a legal" arrests, tortures and murders of the citizens of Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. Above all, the speakers condemned the system of cooperation among countries to terrorize the poor in the name of national security and free enterprise. This system links the southern cone nations with other Latin American nations and with the US government. The speakers, consisting of lawyers, professors and researchers, documented US complicity in crimes against the poor that rival those so ardently tried in the Nuremberg War Trials following WWII. In Chile since the 1973 coup 40,000 people have perished in a flood of military blood letting. In Argentina an estimated 15,000 to 30,000 people have "been disappeared" (a euphemism for murder). In Uruguay I in every 50 people has been imprisoned, 1 in every 90 has been tortured and an astounding I in every 6 has left the country in the last 10 years. In Guatemala, according to Rev. William Wifler, vice-chairman of Amnesty International, USA, 12,000 people were murdered by security forces last year. In El Salvador, the death toll was more than 12,000 in 1980 and thousands more in 1981. The obvious questions to ask are -What can conceivably justify this genocide? And how and why is the US implicated in these horrible Latin American affairs. National Security Doctrine Evidence points to what has become known as the Doctrine of National Security. Remember these words. For in the ideology of this doctrine can be traced the roots of oppression in Latin America and the efforts to legitimize a military reign of terror that leads right to the steps of the White House. Listed below are watchwords of the National Security Doctrine: • It views the world as a Duality, a Global struggle between the forces of Western Christian values and Communism. • The struggle is a Religious one viewed in Messianic terms. • Military forces are considered the only ones in the Know and their Destiny is to Preserve Western civilization. The new ultra right military regimes use Images of the Flesh to justify its maimings and murders of those involved with any social movements. Acts such as those when Chilean security forces recently buried 17 people alive are sanctified with phrases such as ''surgically removing the cancer,'' as '' eliminating the toxins'' and as "com batting the plague." The military rulers are wholly Antidemocratic. Despite our complicity, they actually despise the US because of what they consider to be our decadent sickness -- democracy. In fact, they view democracy to be the root of all social problems. Gen. Augusto Pinochet who overthrew Socialist President Salvadore Allende in a 1973 coup in Chile says a new "authoritarian democracy" is needed. ''Democracy,'' said Pinochet, ''needs to be washed in blood once in a while to cleanse it." At the panel discussion Barrios countered, "He has certainly been _faithful to that idea as the blood of 40,000 Chileans proves it.'' These military rulers are wholly Anti-political. Patricia Weiss-Fagen, of Amnesty International, USA, contends these rulers believe that the ''object of government is to create passivity'' and that ''the governments believe that mass participation is a bad thing. It prevents them from carrying on what they know to be best for their countries.'' Continued from page 5 With the advent of the National Security Doctrine military solutions are applied to economic and social problems. All policies must be developed within the framework of national security and defense activity. And all policies must be related to the struggle between Western Christian values and communism. US's striking parallels It is here where Rev. Wifler and the other conference speakers point out the striking parallels between US policies and the policies of the ruling military regimes. _ The only major difference lies in the fact that the US still has a political apparatus -- that is, the Supreme Court and the court system, elected officials, t Unpopular but powerful Take note that the military dictatorships of today depart radically from those prior to the 1964 coup in Brazil, which established what is considered to be the prototype of Latin America's totalitarian police states. And a recent Freedom of Information Act suit forced the release of US documents which proved the CIA helped engineer that coup. In the past the wealthy private sector would invite the military to step in to restore order with a promise that at some point a civilian government would resume. Now even these conservative rulers fear the new military: They now realize the military has no intentions to restore any of the reigns of government. This departs from Jean Kirkpatrick and the State Department's assessment of these governments as authoritarian yet benign. In fact, they are totalitarian because they totally transform the cultural, educational and political institutions. These governments are extremely unpopular. But as Weiss-Fagen said, they "simply have a monopoly on power,'' particularly when nations as strong as the US support them with millions of dollars, military training and sophisticated weaponry. "What one finds in Latin America is the law turned on its head,'' said Weiss-Fagen. "(The regimes) are ruling by decree which is the lowest form '1f law and the decrees are used to rule constitutional laws illegal.'' The governments' security forces use techniques such as terrorism, "hunts for subversives,'' disappearances and propaganda. They have eliminated political parties, disbanded trade and worker unions, closed broadcast and print media and have banned all meaningful political fora. ;, ~· ~~ ·\; ., political parties and an exchange of political ideas. But our domestic policies parallel exactly the formula to increase military spending by sacrificing basic human services. More and more our total foreign and domestic outlook is designed in the name of national security and defense. Given certain shifts in the political equation here in the US, it is possible that US citizens will some day experience similar atrocities. For if our foreign policy can support brutal totalitarian nations, what is to keep that same type of sick mentality from being applied at home? Outlandish, you say? Perhaps. But lets examine quickly the "think tanks" that formulate principal US policies. According to Rev. Wifler these think tanks are The Hoover Institute, The Georgetown Study of Strategic Policies, and The American Enterprise Institute. Th~y advise the following approaches for the Reagan administration: • An increase in military strength and force buys you economic and political strength. • Local needs -- ·hunger, injustice, health, children -- must be ignored in the face of the greater global struggles between the East and the West. • Concerns of Latin American countries (North-South) must be subordinated to East-West concerns. Cuba and now Nicaragua must be shown to be pawns of Soviet intervention. • Latin America must be- used as an example of US containment of communism. • The social movements in these countries are both "radical and weak -so crush them quickly.'' • The US should never share its leadership role with any other world power. The President has been instructed by these think tanks to "act first, then make your announcement." Evidence of this preference to action was seen when Reagan ordered without debate 52 advisors to El Salvador last year to uphold the faltering junta there. And only recently was it discovered that 20 additional advisors were sent to Honduras to spearhead activity against Nicaragua as well as El Salvador. Business and government team up Even if the Reagan administration was held in check by Congress, no legislation holds US corporations at bay. Indeed, the·creed of the think tanks is for government to coordinate with big business. It is a move away from regulation and a move toward legitimizing profit-making regardless of the means. This is a military blank check for capitalists throughout the Third World. Rev. Wifler paraphrases the creed best: "Defense of private enterprise is a key responsibility of public power.'' Millton Friedman-style free enterprise was adopted by Pinochet in Chile. Private banks ignored US sanctions against the atrocities commited there and invested heavily. Chile was viewed as the ''economic miracle'' of Latin America. Jaime Barrios said that the Chilean junta learned quickly that the "thrust of foreign relations should not be with Washington, D.C. but with Wall Street.'' The miracle never materialized. Chileans now experience a 750 percent inflation rate. Chile has the highest per capita national debt rate in the world. Thousands of middle class businesses have collapsed as people earn less buying power. According to Weiss-Fagen, multinational credit agencies -- the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank -- refused credit unless countries created products to export rather than products for domestic consumption. Tariffs and other subsidies designed to provide for human needs were abolished to allow for a "free market." The normal, sane drive of a country to replace costly imports of goods that could be produced domestically was replaced by a policy we North Americans call supply-side economics. "It's almost as though Reagan is following Pinochet's lead," WeissFagen said. It is a lead that forces once solid allies in Europe to fear us as much as they fear the Soviets -- perhaps more. Not one of our Western allies truly supports our policies in Latin America. In a recent attempt to override human rights legislation in the UN, the US was defeated soundly and abandoned by old friends to the company of Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and the like. It is a lead that prompted Rev. Wifler to call it "a very clear declaration of war on the poor'' at home as well as abroad. Secretary Alexander Haig announced last year Reagan's new focus in foreign policy: ''International terrorism will take the place of human rights." Suddenly his statement takes on a more sinister, truculent meaning. The smuggled art of politics ·/ Betty LaDuke felt nervous and anxious as she rolled the arpilleras in with her jeans and packed them away in her suitcase while getting ready to leave Chile last summer. A few days earlier, customs officials apprehended and blindfolded a woman from the American Friends Service Committee for attempting to smuggle arpilleras out of Chile. An arpillera is burlap embroidered with scenes representing political and social strife in Chile. They are made by Chilean women who have lost husbands, sons or both who have opposed the oppression by the Chilean government. LaDuke's Latin American Art Exhibit contains the arpilleras she smuggled out of Chile along with embroidered blouses from San Blas Islands near Panama, birthing dolls from Peru and embroidery from Equador that she obtained under less strenuous circumstances. Rounding out the exhibit are numerous photographs and drawings by LaDuke about Latin American women in art. The exhbit was shown in conjunction with the conference, Human Rights: Crisis in the Southern Cone held Jan. 23, at the U of 0. LaDuke says at first the Chilean artists hesitated to show her their art. But when they learned she planned to do art exhibits, they became excited with the possibility that other people outside of Chile might see the art that dramatizes their predicament. The idea for the exhibit belongs to LaDuk.e, a Southern Oregon State College art professor in Ashland. She says all ''efforts •have been very worthwhile, not only in the exposure of this art form, but also with being able to share her learning experiences ... " The next stop for the Latin American Art Exhibit is at the Hansen Howard Gallery in Ashland. LaDuke says if arrangements can be made, she "would like to see the exhibit at LCC and at other colleges and universities across the country.'' The photos in this special section were taken by TORCH photographer Gene White. The photos are of work created and gathered by Betty LaDuke. Story by David Bowers. ~lo o Panel members say Page 8 January 28, 1982 - J 9, 1982 'fhe TORCH Chilean repression taking its toll by Paula Case of the TORCH The restless crowd hushed as Patricia Weiss-Fagen, board member for Amnesty International, USA, walked on the stage. ''The topic v-je're speaking of is somfiwhL{ depressing," she said of h r discussion in the aftern session •of the Jan. 23 Hu an Rights: Crisis in the Southern Cone conference at the U of 0. Chile, Argentina and Uruguay all have similar repressions: "Disappearing" citizens, torture, killings, poor prison conditions, banishment and unfair trials. Weiss-Fagen concentrated on events in Chile. For example, she talked of the thousands who have "been disappeared'' since a military coup ousted Socialist President Salvadore Allende in 1973. The Chilean government's method of control is simple according to Fagen -- terror. "Torture one person -- get names -- torture the next and fill in the blanks,'' said Fagen of the government's actions, "and there isn't a more crippling fear than disappearances.'' Fagen says the advantage (for the Chilean government) of making people disappear is that not just one person is affected: "They don't get just one person. The relatives -- the Panelists spoke before this b~nner at Human Rights: Crisis in the Southern Cone co-workers are affected." When relatives of the missing persons try to find out where their children or spouses are, government officials usually answer with statements like "That person never existed because we have no records.'' When one woman asked, the response was "Your husband must have left with another woman." The government is often matter-of-fact and open about its kidnappings. In one case 40 Chilean. agents, who were plain-clothed and carrying· machine ~uns, were sent to ar- rest one man at his home. Several neighbors witnessed the scene -- but could do nothi-ng. Some "missing persons" return. According to Fagen, this is to serve the purpose of terrorizing citizens from circulated tales of torture. Chilean citizens can say nothing against the government. For example, she says college students "can organize but they can't even talk about the rising cost of tuition." They can only talk about what food to serve at the next dance. Photo by Gene White She says that life under Allende's socialism wasn't so terrible. Not everyone disagreed with the theory. But everyone in Chile hates the new government. The role of the military, says Fagen, is to protect citizens from outside forces and the role of police is to protect them from criminals. It is ironic, Fagen says, that the roles in these totalitarian regimes are reversed. The , military and police work against the people instead of for them. Even the court system won't help. When people try to usethe highest court in the land, the response is "What can we do -- we're nothing but the supreme court," says Fagen. - During her presentation, a film by panelist and filmmaker Jamie Barrios told of 14 bodies (supposedly disappeared persons) abandoned in a mine. "They were buried alive." The film also told of security officials arresting a 21-yearold woman who was three months pregnant. Later they arrested the woman's husband. And finally, they arrested their 2-year-old child. - Following the film, Fagen explained how such atrocities could take place in a modern world. '' A government that engages in politics, engages in compromise," Fagen stated. But these military regimes don't allow any political exchange and ignore their constitutions. She says, ''Constitutional laws become illegal. . . they're ruling by the lowest level of law.'' "It is important to stress that the laws have completely reformed the society (and) the transformations are not temporary." She says children, ages 10 to 18, will never have a real sense of what is normal and ''what is true for the individual is true for the society.'' Argentina, Chi-le, Uruguay: Countries without rights by Jane Ganter for the TORCH Argentina ,has a cultural tradil(o~n of tespect for human rights. Chile believed there could ne r be a military takeover in their country. Uruguay was called "the Switzerland of Latin America." The origins of human rights violations in Latin America's southern cone -- kidnapping, torture, disappearances, detention without charges -were outlined for a U of O audience Saturday Jan. 23 by an Argentinian lawyer, a Chilean filmmaker, and an American law professor who served on a mission to Uruguay. The panelists, at the Human Rights: Crises in the Southern Cone conference, said that the Reagan administration is pressing for resumed aid to those countries. The State Department denies claims by ex-President Carter and Congress that these military regimes are human rights violators. ''Nothing justifies the Reagan administration's rationale. It's a dirty war and the objective is extermination of the enemy,'' Argentine lawyer Juan Mendez said. "Enemy" is so broadly defined that it can include anyone. The March 1976 coup established the latest in a succession of ''provisional'' governments established by the military in Argentina since the 1930s. Since 1976, some 7,000 to 9,000 Argentinians, according to Amnesty International records, have "b~en disappeared.'' Mendez was arrested and jailed without charges for 18 months. His legal speciality was representing labor union and political prisoners. ./ In Chile, ''very powerful interests went into motion when Allende was elected to get him out. They took Chile to the brink of chaos through terror and sabotage . ., . and created the conditions for military intervention in 1973," said filmmaker Jaime Barrios, who characterized Chile's ruling junta as neo-Fascist. Unemployment in 1973 was at 4 percent, but had shot up to 18 percent two years after the takeover. Inflation hit 750 percent, and health, education and welfare activities were moved into the private sector market system, Barrios said. ''If someone i's lying in the street, and doesn't have $5 for the ambulance, then they just lie in th~ street. A lot of people don't have the $5," Barrios said. Barrios parodied US economist Milton Friedman's statement that Chile is an ''economic miracle.'' He supposed it could be called a miracle when a system could, in a short time, concentrate 80 percent of a nation's wealth in the hands of just 5 economic clans. He said there is a close association between the current state of economic conditions and Chile's human rights violations. Barrios is director of Chile Democratico's Liaison Information Office to the United Nations. "Uruguay was a bastion of social justice," said law professor Robert Goldman. ''It had the highest literacy rate in Latin America. It had s,tripped power from the military, the church and the oligarchy and had instituted land reform early in this century.'' Inflation and economic crisis hit Uruguay in the mid-60s, for which neither of the two traditional political parties had answers. Urban guerillas C'Los Tupamaros'') added to the Uruguayan government's problems in 1968. Uruguay instituted a crash program to build up a military establishment (with US help); it had none. In 1972, a state of internal war was declared, -and the government "temporarily" suspended civil rights, Goldman said. By early 1973 the guerillas had been crushed, but the military government made no move to restore constitutional rights. Instead, Uruguay's president disbanded the . congress and set up a Council of the Nation that controls who will hold previously elective posts and who will sit on the Supreme Court, Goldman said. ''They repeatedly refer to liberal democracy as a form of cancer, and see its removal as a sacred task. All constitutional safeguards are gone. . . the new laws are retroactive (People are being punish~d for activities they engaged in legally before the new laws were passed.) No political or union activity of any kind is permitted. Goldman is a law professor at the American University Law School and an expert on Uruguayan affairs.

The racy comedy, written by Michael Weller, shows Tira's encounters with several men during the course of an afternoon. Tira is a worldly woman who meets a philandering businessman, a homosexual, a fiery Italian, a sado-masochist and a psychotic nerd. The story is told in a series of scenes as each man encounters Tira and leaves. "'Tira Tells Everthing There ls to Know About Herself' is a play which takes a humorous look at the roles we play in our romantic relation- ships," said director John Duncan. "Tira encounters five different men, each of them somehow flawed. '' In her attempt to form some sort of relationship with each man, she tries to change him or herself to make a fit. Her attempts are ~sometimes touching, always funny. As a character, she is a little like Woody Allen. It is her resilient spirit that allows us to laugh at her futile search for romance.'' Jeanna Garcia, in the title role, marks her ORT stage debut. She was last seen locally in "The Bald Soprano" at the University of Oregon. Robert Webb has the myriad of roles as the men that Tira meets. Webb, an ORT veteran both on stage and behind the scenes, has had roles in ''The Imaginary lnv al id,'' '' A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Our Town" and has directed several ORT productions including "Cowboy Mouth" and "Angel City." The play's production staff includes Robert Wilkins, stage manager and light technician; Alex Fontain, scenography; and Lyn Bowers, costumes. The production opens Jan. 29 at midnight. Midnight performances will also be held Jan. 30 and Feb. 5 and 6. Performances at 9 p.m. will be held Feb. 3-6. Tickets are $3.50 with general admission seating.

Portland for first meet by Terry Rhoads of the TORCH The 1982 track season for Lane's men and women unofficially begins this Saturday when they. compete in the Portland Indoor Track Meet. The meet, which has both day and night sessions, features a non-scoring ' format -- and lots of races. "Portland has no finals, everyone just runs a heat," women's coach Lyndell Wilkens. ''There might be twenty races in one event, but there're no run offs." The Titans will likely compete in many heats, as the majority of the squad heading to Portland's Memorial Coliseum are runners. Members of last fall's women's cross country team, which placed second in the nation, will lead the way for the Titans. Janet Beaudry, whose fifth place finish at the cross country nationals won her allAmerican honors, will run the two-mile in the afternoon session. Her cross country teammate, Laurie Stovall, a second-team all-American after finishing seventh at the nationals, is entered in the mile, as are Martha Swatt and Theresa Moran. Only two Lane athletes will compete in more than one · event. Leisha Sanders and Loi Brumley will compete in both the 500 meters and the long jump. Wilkens says Brumley is "very promising in the 400 hurdles and will also run the relays and high jump this season.'' Brumley also played on the Titan basketball squad. Other women running for Lane this weekend are cross country team members Jill Haugen in the 500 meters and Judy Beck and Kerry Leahy in the 1000 meters. The men's squad will also be well represented with its top runner, David Henderson, competing in the night's featured mile. Other members of the men's cross country team running in the meet include Bob Shisler and Kevin Morris in the mile ' and Norm Atchue in the twomile. Wilkens says the meet will give the athletes a chance to get a taste of competition and something to aim for during winter training. "It's not a big meet for us at all," says Wilkens, "just a pre-season meet that we see as a stepping stone to the outdoor season: We won't go in looking for fast or super times; it's just a training event.''
