Margie Hendriksen discussed tax plan Feb. 12

Many people predicted after
last fall's elections that it
wouldn't be long before state
Sen. Margie Hendriksen and
Rep. Carl Hosticka made their
mark (and quite favorably) on
the Oregon political scene.
They were right. South
Eugene's
Democratic
Dynamic Duo of has introduced the Hendriksen/Hosticka
Tax Plan (House Bill 2518),
which would enable 65 percent
of Oregon's taxpayers to pay
lower or no state income taxes.
Hendriksen and Hosticka
explained HB 2518 and other
issues facing the 1983
Legislature to approximately
25 constituents at a Feb. 12
"constituent coffee" in the
Hult Center.

HB 2518 provides state income tax reductions for
wage earners with an adjusted
gross income (AGI) of $24,999
or less. Taxpayers with AGis
ranging from $25,000 to
$250,000 and up will see state
income tax hikes ranging from
$101 to $9236 annually.
Coupled with President
Reagan's federal tax cuts (by
1982 data), HB 2518 will mean
an 11.6 percent total tax cut
for persons in the $24,999 and
under AGI range. Persons
reporting an AGI of $250,000
and up will see a 13.3 percent
total tax cut.
Federal tax cuts alone will
mean 11.2 percent reductions
for the $20,000 AGI range and
22.4 percent for the $250,000
bracket.
Thus,
the
Hendriksen/Hosticka plan .will

lend greater equity to the
Reagan tax cut while ensuring
that high-income wage earners
bear a fairer share of Oregon's
tax burden.
Oregon's income tax
brackets have not been adjusted for twenty years, and
since then, inflation rates have
placed middle and lowerincome taxpayers at or near
the top of the income tax
percentage range.
"$10,000 was worth more in
1963 than it is today," observed Hendriksen aide Susan
Sowards. ''Today an AGI of
$10,000 would put one at the
poverty level."
Under
the
Hendriksen/Hosticka plan,
Oregon's tax structure would
be spread from three to 15 perTAXES

FREE FOR ALL
TV extravaganz a mediocre at best
by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor

Note: This editorial is more of a television review
than a true "think piece. ,,

Well, the "big
week" is over, the
week that saw
ABC-TV assault
the airwaves with
its $40 million,
18-hour adaptation
of Herman Wouk's
The Winds of War.
There is no question that Wouk is a
fine novelist, one of the best in modern
history. The Winds of War and its
follow-up, War and Remembrance, are
great books.
But I question the validity of spending so much time and money on a
project that ended up being mediocre,
at best. And if this column seems
somewhat off the beaten editorial
track, please indulge me: I'm writing it
with the realization that many of us actually watch television sometimes and

it, like anything, -needs to be regulated
by its constituency.

The overlong story
The plot, as many of you know, concerns the Henrys, a family which
through some strange quirk of fate
manages to have at least one member
witness virtually every major event
leading to the US entrance into World
War II.
Now this in itself is not as farfetched
as it sounds, at least not for fiction.
Some of the best books ever penned
have characters taking part in major
historical events with astonishing
regularity.
No, it's the way ABC tried to pull it
off that bothers me.
In the first place, the damn thing was
far too long. Granted, Wouk's book
was extremely lengthy, but 18 hours
worth of television devoted to one subject gets to be a drag, frankly. ABC
was apparently of the mind that
monopolizing my week was a

legitimate thing to do. I'll be the first
to admit that I didn't watch every
episode. I had important things to do.
Like deal with reality.
Secondly, many of the performances
were less than brilliant. Even if you like
Robert Mitchum -- I don't -- you have
to admit that his alleged "presence" in
his first TV role was far from earthshattering. He seems to have one set
expression for everything.
Polly Bergen looked and acted like .
she was scared of everything that moved. I also wish she'd give me a call
when she experiences her first honest
emotion.
And Ali McGraw was absolutely
horrible in her first TV role. I don't
know what I expected from the heroine
of the sappy Love Story and the
miserable Convoy, but it certainly
wasn't something this wretched.
Natalie Jastrow was a complex, sensitive character in The Winds of War.
Ali McGraw, apparently, isn't either of
those things.

I sincerely wish that John Houseman
would retire. Perpetuating a staunch
and stuffy college professor persona
can only work so long, and his role in
this TV movie required something
more than a face that, in recent months, has been trying to sell me
everything from Smith-Barney investment advice to Puritan Oil.

Did America buy it?
The ratings are in on the Winds of
War, too, and although America tuned
in with some regularity, the numbers
weren't quite what ABC's programmers had hoped for.
It's that one little fact that relieves
me. Finally, American viewers are
becoming discerning enough to realize
that just because something's big and
expensive doesn't mean it's good. Too
often -- and especially with television
and movies -- we are caught up in the
trappings of the event and stop caring
about its substance.

Ronnie: And a darned good
promise, if I do say so myself.
Nancy: Excuse me dear. But
in your new 1984 budget, you
just cut them drastically.
Ronnie: Cut what? Oh, yes,
taxes. I remember quite clearly
my campaign promise to cut
taxes, increase defense spen-

ding and ... What do you suppose this "Bal. Budg." stands
for?
Nancy: I think you promised to balance the budget by

Ronnie: Budget? What
budget? Anyway, if I keep
batting two out of three, I can
stay in the majors. Wait,
here's "Curb Inf." Yes-siree,
I'll never forget my promise to
curb that old devil inflation.
And I sure did, didn't I? Tell
me, did I also "Reduce

Nancy: (sighing) Well, there
goes the old batting average.
But dearest, isn't there
something on your list about
"Sen. Test," perhaps?
Ronnie: Where? Oh, you
mean on my list. I'll see. Hm-

mmm, "Inc. Bus. Invest.,"

confrontation 'angers, disgusts' student
To the Editor:
I am a second year
psychology major who would
like to voice a very unpleasant
problem I recently had with
the theater department which
both angers and disgusts me.
I have participated and have
been interested in theater for
many years and was considering the possiblity of becoming
active with the LCC program.
While I had some free time
between classes on Wednesday, February 10, I decided to
have a look at the facilities of
the performing arts building,
which I had never seen.

While there, I did not venture into any of the rooms, nor
did I go anywhere that seemed, "off limits." In one of the
lower hallways I was stopped
by a gentleman named Skip
Hubbard, who claimed to be a
''technical director.'' Mr.
Hubbard asked me my name
and what I was doing, I
answered, and had no objections to doing so. Mr. Hubbard then proceeded to question me at length about a
number of items which had
been stolen from the building
in recent weeks, and if I knew
their whereabouts. I found
this totally uncalled for and I
would like to ask the people of

the theater department this: Is
it your policy to stop and question every unfamiliar face that
comes through the door?
As a full time student at
LCC I believe I should have
the right to enter school
buildings during school hours
without being stopped and
questioned like a common
criminal. I have always believed that higher education was
intent on encouraging the student to learn, and not such ignorant stifling of the curiosity
as exhibited by the instructor
in the above mentioned event.

It's difficult to corYlplete a program in two years

Night courses promp t complaints

Commentary by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor

(Second in a series)
The subtle but continuing
restlessness about LCC night
course offerings has prompted
more than complaints from
students (see TORCH article,
Jan. 20-26 issue, page 4). It's
prompted some ideas from the
very same people who say
LCC needs more night classes.
Mike Pattie, an LCC night
student on the GI Bill, says the
administration needs to take a
close look at viable alternatives.
''You should be able to
finish a program in two years
here at night," he says. "The
people who decide what
classes are offered need to be a
little more careful about what
classes are getting cut and
what's getting added."
Pattie notes that some programs that could once be completed at night are no longer
giving classes in sequence but
are simply repeating classes

that have already been offered.
''There should be some kind
of system to watch against
that," he says. "If a person
starts a program here, he
should be able to finish it,
even if other people can't take
beginning courses (in the same
program) because they aren't
offered anymore.''
Pattie's suggestion is a good
one. How practical something
like it might be will be explored in the next installment
of this series (which gives the
administrative point of view),
but for the time being, let's
throw out some ideas that
might be beneficial and provide food for thought for all
concerned:
• There is Pattie's suggestion: If plans are being made
to discontinue a program,
allow students currently
enrolled in the program a
chance to finish the program
within a reasonable length of
time. For instance, someone

who has completed only the
first two terms of a Criminal
Justice program could not expect the program to wait for
him/her to finish, but a student with one term left could
expect to finish.
• Financial incentives.
Again, practicality and administrative feasibility are the
big questions here, but
perhaps night student could be
given a tuition discount of
some kind as an incentive to
continue attending Lane.
Thousands of problems
arise with this suggestion, really, the first being that regular
LCC students are not afforded
such a discount -- why should
night students be so entitled?
Mike Pattie believes he has
an answer to that question.
"Night students are not offered nearly the same number
of classes and programs that
day students are offered,'' he
says. "And most of the services designed for students are

Hoose Bill may change rules
on unemplo yment benefits
by Nancy Cutler
fo r the TORCH

Oregon legislators may change the rules that
currently prohibit unemployed workers from
simultaneously collecting unemployment
checks and attending college classes.
Legislators from both sides of the political
spectrum passed House Bill 2373 in early
February by a 56 to 3 vote. The bill will now be
introduced in the Senate Labor Committee.
Although the House vote was decisive, remaining controversy lies in strictly drawn
eligibilty laws and rules. Written in better
times, the laws were intended to curtail abuses.
The state's laws are more stringent than federal
laws on the subject, and some Oregon
businesses are leery of liberalizing them, even in
hard times.
Some House Republicans and the Associated
Oregon Industries lobby opposed Bill 2373,
claiming it would increase costs to employers
who pay the unemployment compensation
payroll taxes. They're also worried that
unemployed workers may collect benefits while
studying classes that will not retrain them for
new jobs: They propose defining approved
training programs.
Thousands of Oregonians now find their jobs
to be obsolete and many want to retrain, says
Debbie Murdock, Oregon Community College
Association representative. Murdock believes
that with the threat of lost unemployment compensation, many people choose to stay home instead of going to school.
- - TAXES

The bill is supported by labor interests, community colleges, community college students,
CETA groups, and displaced workers.
Bringing Up The Issue

Recently, Chemeketa Community College in
Salem received $500,000 from the federal
government for a CET A-sponsored retraining
program for 34 Boise-Cascade employees. The
college developed the proposed program, hired
a staff, and applied for waivers to the State
Employment Division. The state agency denied
the waivers, which would have allowed the
former employees to continue unemployment
benefits while being retrained.
Rep. Verner Anderson (R-Roseburg) first
asked for the bill after he was alerted to a
similar problem after an Umpqua Community
College student was denied unemployment
benefits because of his student status. And Rep.
Ed Leek (D-Portland) became interested after
meeting with Clackamas CC Pres. John
Hakanson about ways to address the general
need for job training and retraining for those
whose jobs have become obsolete.
HB2373 now goes to the Senate Labor Committee. Senate Minority Leader Tony Meeker
(R-Amity) and Senator L.B. Day (R-Salem) are
expected to present the viewpoints of House
Republicans and Governor Atiyeh to members
of the Labor Committee. Murdock expects that
the Legislative Assembly will take early action
in an attempt to avoid cancellation of the
special retraining program offered at CCC.

closed down by the time we get
to school. But we're expected
to pay the same amount of tuition as a day student, who
receives all of those advantages.''
The financial discount alternative comes in the wake of
Pattie's -- and several other
night students' -- claim that
fewer programs and course offerings will translate into
significantly smaller numbers
come night enrollment time.
"If people don't have some
kind of incentive,'' Pattie concludes, "they're going to stop
coming out here for anything.
Period."
• An administrative forum
dealing with the night course
offering problem could be

planned which would allow
students to voice their complaints while simultaneously
allowing administrators a
chance to explain the course
offering process. Both sides
would come away from such a
forum with a better understanding of where the other stands
on the issue and what can be
done about it.
Make no mistake: Night
classes are a growing concern,
at least for students who must
attend them because of
daytime jobs and/ or families.
There may be no solution that
will make both sides of the
issue happy, but the issue must
come to the attention of the
entire before any solution can
be reached.

Reagan denies naval positioning
in Mediterranean
WASHINGTON -- Pentagon sources say that the US has sent
AW ACS radar planes to Egypt and moved an aircraft carrier battle group
in the Mediterranean Sea. According to sources, the reason is to counter a
Libyan aircraft buildup --apparently aimed at Sudan -- in neighb'oring_

•

But at his Feb. 16 news conference, President Reagan said "There's
been no naval movement at all." An administrative source later said that
the president meant to refer only to the AW ACS deployment in saying
there has been no naval movement.

West German election results
won't affect US missile deployment
WASHINGTON -- President Reagan said Feb. 16 that were a new
West German government to refuse to deploy Pershing ll missiles, "it
would be a terrible setback to the cause of peace and disarmament."
However, Reagan says he doesn't believe that deployment plans will be
affected by the outcome of next month's general elections in West Germany.

Elements hinder volcano watch
VANCOUVER, Wash. -- Rain, snow, fog and high winds have
stymied scientists' efforts to get a close-up look at the changing lava dome
in the crater of Mount St. Helens.
The volcano began a non-violent eruption Feb. 7.
A helicopter carrying US Geological Survey scientists has been trying to
get into the crater to observe the activity, but the weather refuses ·to
cooperate.
Instruments monitored at the University of Washington Geophysics
Center in Seattle indicate the eruption is continuing .

Big green for the Big Red?
LINCOLN, Neb. -- A bill that's likely to make quite a few waves in
college sports almost reached the full Nebraska Legislature Feb. 16.
The Education Committee voted to send to tl.e floor a bill which wo uld
provide a salary for University of Nebraska football players . In a later
move, the committee benched the legislation.
The bill's chief sponsor, Sen . Ernest Chambers, said it would merely
legalize what already goes on illegally in college athletics. Chambers proposed similar legislation in I 981, but that bill fell short of the goal line.

cent of the taxpayer's AGL
Each tax bracket would contain a near-equal percentage of
Oregonians, ranging from an
estimated 12 percent in the
lowest ($2499 AGI and less)
tax bracket to one percent in
the highest ($75,000 and up).
According to Hendriksen
and Hosticka, Reagan administration tax cuts will
return $900 million to Oregon
taxpayers. HB 2518 would
recapture a third of this

amount and help close
Oregon's $553 million revenue
shortfall.
"We call it 'slurping up the
trickle-down','' Hendriksen
explained.
This ''slurping'' would
enable funding of several key
items in Gov. Atiyeh's 1983-85
budget, including a proposed
tuition freeze in Oregon's institutions of higher education
at 1982-83 levels.
"Recapturing funds from

federal tax cuts would help
stop their (tuition rates) upward spiral," said Hendriksen.

Hosticka emphasized that
HB 2518 does not preclude or
act as a substitute for a sales
tax. And Hendriksen expressed philosophical opposition to
a sales tax on the grounds that
it does not take into consideration an individual's ability to
pay.

Atiyeh approves Hillcrest closure
SALEM -- Gov. Victor Atiyeh has given his blessing to a proposal by
the state Children's Services Division (CSD) to close the Hillcrest School
for juvenile delinquents.
Should the legislature approve the CSD proposal, the Salem institution
would close by mid-1984. Opposition to the closure comes from the
Hillcrest staff and some county juvenile authorities.
There are currently about 80 girls and 65 boys at Hillcrest, placed for
crimes ranging from shoplifting to murder. Some would be transferred to
MacLaren School in Woddburn, others to community programs the state
would establish by contact with private institutions and families.

1983 The TORCH

Group holds forum
for hunger awareness
by Karla Sharr

TORCH Staff Writer

"Hunger At Home," a
public forum sponsored by
Eugene Bread for the World
(EBFW), was conducted Feb.
10 at the Central Presbyterian
Church in Eugene.
EBFW leader I coordinator
Dorothy Sistrom explained
that her organization, a Christian citizens' action group,
deals with hunger all over the
world. However, EBFW is
currently emphasizing the
hunger problem in the ·us and
in Eugene/Springfield.
The meeting drew persons
from a number of local hunger
awareness groups who gave
reports on the progress of their
programs. Groups represented
at the meeting included
Gleaners and Gatherers,
FISH, Clients' Council.
Church Women United's
Children Watch, Catholic
Charities, and the Eugene Mission.
Gleaners and Gatherers is a
group of citizens who salvage
food from supermarkets.
restaurants, and orchards (in
season). This food is then
distributed to the needy.
Gleaners and Gatherers is also
planning to open and run a
cannery to further the use of
their commodities.

Vern Fowler and Dennis Mills, with the help
of LCC Cable Channel 20's Doug Creach.
The "dish" will be used to send and receive
satellite signals. In 1982 Jim Brock, Media
Services coordinator, and Jim Ellison,
associate dean of Instructional Services, proposed that LCC invest in the dish purchase
and installation to improve the college's instructional programs in two major ways -with teleconferencing and telecourses over
LCC Channel 20.
Channel 20 is an assigned Group W channel
available to all educational institutions within
the cable district.
In the past, in order to broadcast nationally
marketed telecourses to Lane County
students. LCC would buy copies of the videotaped telecourses from the Oregon Public
Broadcasting System (OPBS), which had permission to videotape the educational programs while receiving them through the OPBS
satellite dish in Portland.
Soon LCC will use its own dish to receive
the courses direct from the satellite. The
technical quality of the pictures will be improved, and the college will have easier and

over 90 units. (See story, page
5.) But Rasmussen states that
the college doesn't have
enough terminals to serve all
data processing students . .
• The Word Processing program also needs new equipment. In a request memo to
Rasmussen, Business Department head Jack Kreitz says
word processing is an
"emerging vocational program (that) requires new
equipment."
• The Bus, the Community
Education mobile lab, must be
replaced to continue the program. (See story, page 8.) Bill

Teleconferencing

Teleconferencing permits a person in
Eugene, Oregon to gain the information
disbursed at a distant conference or meeting
without the expense of time and travel, says
Ellison.
In teleconferencing, a signal is transmitted
from a television studio to an earth station
(dish) uplink; the signal is then transmitted
from the uplink to the satellite. The signal
then can be picked up by any downlink dish
(like LCC's new dish) and distributed to
meeting facilities. Back home in Eugene, people can see the event taking place on a TV
screen and use a phone for question and
answer interaction.
LCC's first contracted teleconference will
take place April 7 with the Department of
Agriculture, which is sponsoring a meeting to
be broadcast nationwide. Brock believes LCC
will be the first community college to conduct
a teleconference in the Northwest.
The Educational Access cable TV station,
Channel 20, located in the basement of the
Center Building, will see the advantages of the
"dish" through better access to programs
throughout the country which can then, after
copyright clearance, be videotaped and used
on cable Channel 20.
In addition to these advantages, Brock says
the dish's teleconferencing capability may
permit LCC to earn money by providing the
service to business and industry. The dish will
also be used for some student training in the
Electronics Department.

Porter, assistant to the Dean
of Instruction, says that
LCC's purchase of the Navy
surplus diesel coach was ''a
gamble" at the time.
Rasmusen says that some people may say "Why does the
college need a bus? Either get
a new bus or drop the program." But he would rather
drop a program on the value
of the program than the condition of the equipment.
Rasmussen also notes that
The Bus has served many people in Lane County who otherwise wouldn't have had the
opportunity to continue their
education.

Students confer around one of the units in LCC's Microcomputer Lab.

Currently there are 76 computer terminals on the main
campus and 14 at the
Downtown Center, an investment of approximately
$179,200, says Jim Keizur,
head of the Data Processing
Department.
Keizur adds, however, that
the number of students
needing terminal time is well
over 1500 in the Data Processing Department alone. And
students in several other
departments rely on the computers as well.
LCC's collection of energy
management computer software could be among the more
advanced in the energy

Scholarshi_p serVice helps
students find financial aid
by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor

newly-established
A
"scholarship matching service" in Lane County is allowing college students to find
forms of funding best suited to
their needs through the aid of
a nationwide comp1;1ter network.
Statewide Scholarship Services (SSS), which draws from
an information retrieval
system based in New Jersey,
will -- for a $39 fee __ enter
students' personal and financial data into their computer.
In return, the student will
receive a list of anywhere from
5-25 financial aid resources
(scholarships, grants, etc.)
uniquely suited to his/her
financial aid needs.
The service is not specific,

however. For instance, a student cannot ask for the best
financial aid resources at one .
institution only. The system
will provide him/her with
financial aid resources from
schools across the nation. But
SSS operator Tom Sullivan
still feels the matching service's benefits far outweigh its
drawbacks.
"Our system matches the
student with many, many
resources," Sullivan says.
"Among the resources the
computer finds, generally, will
be resources at their (students)
preferred institutions. And, if
nothing else, it gives students
an idea of what kinds of financial aid they should be looking
for and are eligible for."
The new computer resource
-- counterparts of which have
been established everywhere

from Santa Monica, Calif. to
Houston -- is by no means a
new idea, Sullivan concedes.
But the Eugene/Springfield
area is badly in need of just
such a comprehensive service,
he adds.
"There's a big market out
there (in the community) of
people who need financial
aid,'' he says, citing statistics
which claim some $500 million
of financial aid monies go
unused every year in this country.
For more information and
an application for the computer service, write Statewide
Scholarship Serrvices, P .0.

"It's tough to go through

This month Duchesneau

Gubrud, is that the energy
management field is just
beginning to open up, and
much of the Science Department's software was specially
developed by department staff
members.
The energy management
software is being used to train
students to conduct energy
analysis for homes. Doing this
by computer, rather than by
hand, saves a lot of time and
money, says Gubrud. He adds
that the new state law requiring utility companines to begin
home energy analysis has permitted several of his students
to find work with utility companies throughout the state.
Another software program
currently being developed in
the Science Department will
soon give students access to information concerning 500
species of plants here in the
Northwest, says Jay Marston,
program designer. The program's information will include plants that aren't edible,
plants with medicinal value,
and plant folklore.
Marston says the program is
unique since no single source
currently contains all of this
information. He hopes the
program will be ready by next
fall.
LCC's commitment to computer technology began about
10 years ago, and since then
the demand for computer terminal time has exceeded the

number of terminals ava1tab1e
for student use.
A lab operated by the Social
Science Department averages
400 students a day on 17 computer terminals and that
number, according to Ann
Bacon, a part-time lab assistant, seems to grow every
week. It is the goal of Ronald
Mitchell, Social Science
Department head, that ''every
student be able to have some
experience with the computers
before leaving the department."
Currently that experience
comes by using the equipment
to test students on course work
or providing them with
simulation experiments.
"Tribbles," is one such
simulation: The computer
gives the student a society of
Tribbles and he/she must
determine what causes births
and deaths based on information from the computer.
With computer programs
that can teach everything from
the most basic programming
to home energy loss analysis,
students aren't the only ones
who want terminal time. Instructors, such as Bill Mullins
in Social Science and Jay
Marston in the Science
Department, are now using the
computers to cut down on
paperwork by storing .information including stude-n t
names and test questions and
scores.

Osborn named to \NOmen's panel
by Chris Gann

TORCH Staff Writer

Increased visibility for the
Eugene's Commission on the
Rights of Women is the aim of
its newest member, LCC
public relations specialist Keli
Osborn.
seven-member
The
volunteer Women's Rights
Commission is one of five city
human rights advisory groups
that help keep Eugene in compliance with its affirmative action goals.
The commission reviews city
ordinances and also pending
state legislation for impact on
women. After review, the
commission advises the city
council of its findings and
recommends appropriate action.
Osborn told LCC journalists Feb. 8 that she hopes
that her presence on the commission will inspire more people, especially women, to

become involved in politics.
She said women were for a
long time denied participation
in decision-making outside the
home. Now, she says, women
need to ''work with men to
enlarge our sphere beyond the
home."
Osborn's three-year term
began last month. She said she
first considered applying for a
commission seat after a
candlelight march and rally
observing the "death" of the
ERA last fall.
'' I was disappointed at the
(low) turnout,'' Osborn
recalls. It was then that she
decided to get involved with
the Women's Rights Commission, hop1ng that she could
help the community become
more aware of its activities
and the activities of women's
groups in Eugene.
She said the commission's
recent work has included
evaluating Eugene's nondiscrimination and anti-

harassment ordinanaces. The
commission is also evaluating
and following the progress of
a "comparable worth" (equal
pay for equal responsibility)
bill currently before the state
legislature.
Osborn also says that for
the first time the commission
has a yearly theme -- the
economy. This, she believes,
will bring "more visibility. .
.and focus" to the commission. The theme, reinforced
with workshops on ''economic
survival,'' also fits into
Eugene's goals for economic
diversification and improvement.
According to Osborn, the
commission has a $1,000
budget which covers members'
travel expenses and pays for
such services such as rental
fees for seminars and printing
costs.
Osborn said she enjoys living in Eugene and that the city
is "an easy place to be an ac-

tivist" because the local
government is responsive to
public participation.
But sometimes, she said,
Eugene officials have a snobbish, "chauvinsitic," attitude
about the city. She pointed to
the controversy surrounding
the naming of the Hult Center
for the Performing Arts as an
example: She said that during
a public hearng a city council
member implied that shortterm city residents did not
have the same right to speak
out about the center naming as
those who had lived in Eugene
since 1940. "I wasn't even
born then!" she exclaims.
Osborn's invlovement in
women's rights issues began
when she helped organize and
participate in women's symposiums as a student at the
University of Oregon. She has
continued to work in what she
calls a "community activist"
role as a member of the
Citizens Party (in which she is

220 miles to Walterville,
Veneta, Oakridge, and Junction City and acts as instructor
and manager. Residents of
these outlying areas are able to
enroll in classes and study independently through the video
and audio tapes and other
materials brought to their
communnities on The Bus.
Approximately 50 people
use the mobile classroom per
term. The ages of the students
range from 16 to 72 with the
average age of about 28. Many
are employed within their
communities and use The Bus
on their lunch hours. Fourteen
people can use The Bus at one
time.
Students don't normally

have personal contact with
their instructors unless they
contact them by phone or visit
them on campus. Myers will
shuttle messages, assignments
and additional learning
materials between students
and instructors. She spends
Fridays on the LCC campus
visiting instructors and helping
solve problems that might
arise.
Because there are more
students enrolled in business
courses than in any others,
Myers says she holds a meeting
at her home every term for the
business students and instructors to get aquainted.
In addition to businessrelated classes, the range of

study topics The Bus offers inastrology,
cludes
mathematics, child development, and introduction to
computers. All of the television courses offered through
the LCC cable arrangement
are available on The Bus.
Some writing courses are

Mobile classroom serves rural area
by Amy Steffenson
for the TORCH

In 1977, LCC bought a
surplus navy ambulance and
turned it into a mobile
classroom to serve four rural
Lane County communities.
The idea for the mobile
classropm (better known as
The Bus) . came from Betty
James, of LCC's Downtown
Center. Under the direction of
the Office of Instruction, LCC
bought and remodeled the
35-foot bus to include a study
area, typing tables and
typewriters, televisions, audio
equipment, and a refrigerator.

Food Service prices
may not increase in'84
by Adam Fendrich
for the TORCH

The possibility of LCC's
Food Services attracting
substantial outside revenues
will help keep LCC food prices
down, according to Food Services Manager Bob Tegge.
Tegge says that if Food Services is granted the contract
for the Lane Council of
Governments ''Meals on
Wheels" elderly nutrition program, LCC students are
assured of having no increase
in the base price of food at the
school next year. If the contract is granted, the Food Services department would
prepare meals and deliver
them to five sites in Eugene
and outlying communities to
about 1100 elderly people five
days a week.
Tegge also seeks to obtain
LCC ownership and control of
campus vending machines. He
speculated the Food Services
department could be losing as

as much as $40,000 a year by
going through an outside company for the machines.
According to Tegge, Food
Services receives much of its
outside revenue through a
catering service and by selling
pastries to University of
Oregon food services. ''This
department is totally selfsupporting. We receive no
money from the general funds,
federal subsidization, or tuitions,'' says Tegge.
Tegge says he is trying to
find as many sources of outside revenue as he can, so long
as cafeteria services are not
adversely affected. The kitchen is in need of new industrial kitchen appliances,
but otherwise the Food Services department is well on its
way to balancing its budget.
"In fact, if things continue as
they are, we should be in the
black by the end of the school
year," says Tegge. "All these
extra sources of revenue help•
contribute to keeping the food
prices down.''

great-great-grandson of the Lone Ranger?

Sophie's Choice shoVv's WWII horror
by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor

Perhaps World War II was
not the most terrifying segment in the ongoing history of
the world. Perhaps the
senseless massacre of 6 million
Jews and hundreds of
thousands of others on all
sides is not the single greatest
scar on the face of
humankind.
But after seeing Sophie's
Choice, one would be hardpressed to believe it.
The Story

Based on William Styron' s

novel and set in 1947, Sophie's
Choice stars Meryl Streep as a
Polish immigrant to the US
who lived through the
Auschwitz death camp during
World War II but lost her husband and two children to the
horrors of war.
Sophie lives in a Brooklyn
boarding house with Nathan
(Kevin Kline), an intelligent
and vital but extraordinarily
tempermental and hot-headed
individual who leads a
mysterious life of fantasy and
illusion. The pair seem to be
very much in love, although
Nathan goes on wild, confusing binges of anger from time
to time.

Adam Ant's solo
'upbeat' collection
by Bob Ecker

TORCH Staff Writer

"Antmania" hit the USA in the early spring of 1981, shortly
before Adam and The Ants made an appearance on American
Bandstand.
Adam and The Ants stormed England and later the US with
music containing tribal chants and ballads of brave buccaneers.
The success of two albums and a 12-inch single put this group on
their own pedastal.
As a group, the Ants disbanded last year. Yet Adam Ant still
had a desire to spread that infamous cry from Kings Of The
Wild Frontier, "Sexmusic For Antpeople." So he decided to
embark on a solo album effort, with Ant guitarist Marco joining.
The end result is Friend Or Foe. It contains discernible
touches from the Ants' group successes, yet is unique in its own
right. There are no fancy costumes, no makeup. The
background chants and war cries have faded. What's left is
Adam and Marco pulling together an upbeat pop arrangement.
And by George, it works!
Adam prides himself in setting his own style and continues to
do so on Friend Or Foe. He adds a thin yet efficient brass section. The 'rumpeters and saxophonists balance out Adam's and
Marco's guitar work. The blend is timely and not overdone. You
sense that Hollywood has had an impact on Adam's music. His
changeover to more of what radio demands is noticeable and
successful.
Already gaining notice on the Video Music Channel and radio
airwaves, "Goody Two Shoes" is a topnotch cut. The song is
appropriately titled, as Adam questions: Don't drink/Don't
smoke/ What do you do? Adam not only sings but plays bass as
well on this cut. On other tunes throughout the album, he tries
his hand at both rhythm and acoustic guitar, violin, triangle,
sticks, percussion and marimba.
"Crackpot History And The Right To Lie" is one of the
closest imitators of past Ant music. Production on Adam's
voice-overs has been tightly and nicely done. And ''Made Of
Money'' continues the trend of happy-go-lucky, danceable
music that seems to satisfy Adam.
He takes a back seat to his guitarist, however, on "Man Called Marco.'' Marco simply toys with his machine, setting out
twangs that yearn for companionship. No jazz here but still a
successful cut.
One cut especially worth noting is Adam's remake of The
Doors' 1968 classic "Hello, I Love You." -- a commendable
cover version. Finally, Friend Or Foe's title cut is delivered
through the horn section. Their notes highlight what could have
been a boring album headliner.
These Englishmen may have altered their music here and there
-- it's more commercialized than Adam's work with his former
Ant-mates. But it's still Adam Ant, and when you mention him
you 're talking about one of the proud forefathers of
"Antmusic." The mania has died somewhat but Beware! This
Ant has come back to fight.

Enter Stingo (Peter MacNicol), a young would-be
writer from the South who
takes a room in the same
house and quickly becomes
good friends with the couple.
What follows is an horrific
recounting of Sophie's warrelated experiences and her
subsequent dependence on a
madman -- Nathan -- for her
own sanity.
Told primarily from
Stingo 's point of view,
Sophie's Choice follows the
threesome as their friendship
grows, a growth that is occasionally stunted by Nathan's
wild outbursts, where he accuses Sophie of having affairs
and Stingo of being the object
of her affections.
The film also provides
lengthy flashbacks of Sophie's
experierices leading up to and
including her life in
Auschwitz. Stingo cannot
understand Sophie's unwillingness to talk about her past,
but her gradual acquiescence
to his questions and the film's
presentation of her war life

provide a haunting series of
visual images that lead to a
nightmarish climax: Sophie is
forced to make a "choice"
that cannot truly be made.
The Performances

Simply put, the three main
characters in Sophie's Choice
are wonderful.
Meryl Streep, whose
dramatic successes in Kramer
vs. Kramer and The French
Lieutenant's Woman have
made her the film industry's
biggest star, pulls off Sophie
without a hitch. Although it is
somewhat difficult to get used
to her Polish accent for the
first few minutes, her
brilliance as an actress allows
her to make the accent seem
natural, as if she had never
spoken any other way.
Kevin Kline, as Nathan,
makes his character an interesting one, to say the least.
One minute happy and
carefree, the next intense and
hot-blooded, he mixes a

moody persona with intelligence and wit to make
Nathan, a schizophrenic, a
delightfully complex character
in other than obvious ways.

Peter
MacNicol
(Dragonslayer),
as
Stingo, lends an air of sanity
to this maelstrom of emotion.
Although a sensitive individual, Stingo recognizes
that his personal concerns
must take a back seat to
Sophie and Nathan's extraordinary
emotional
entanglements. He is the anchor
that keeps the movie from mnning emotionally amuck.
In a nutshell, Sophie's
Choice is a film which relies
upon gradual character
development and the shock
value of one incident to make
its point. But the one incident
is sb monumental, and the
characters so well-developed
and real, that Sophie's Choice
becomes more: It is a
microcosm of an event that
shook the world anq radically
altered millions of lives.=.There
is no better film of its· type
around.

SPORTS
Titans aim for playoffs
by Emmanuel Okpere

TORCH Staff Writer

The LCC men's basketball
team came back from a twogame road trip last weekend
with good news for their fans
at home: They played two
gruelling games and won.
A Saturday night 63-61
overtime victory over Mt.
Hood put the Titans in the
OCCAA driver's seat. The
Titans now lead the league
with a 7-2 record. They are
17-3 overall.
The Titans were gunning for
revenge against Mt. Hood,
which beat them 66-65 earlier
in the season. That contest
ended with a questionable
goaltending call by one of the
officials.
The Jan. 15 loss was also the
Titans' last defeat. Their winning streak now stands at
seven games.
Saints coach Bob McAllister
thought things would go Mt.
Hood's way during the

rematch in Gresham -- particularly when his wards left at
intermission with a 32-31 lead
despite the determined play of
the Titan cagers.
But Lane refused to yield to
the Mt. Hood onslaught in the
second half, and they
outscored the Saints 24-23 to
put the game into overtime.
The overtime was full of
tricky plays by both coaches,
but eleven-year Titan coach
Dale Bates came up with a set
play that resulted in Matt
Bodine scoring a ''text book''
jumper at :03 in the overtime
period to ice the contest.
Co-captain Mike Cooper led
the Titans with 18 points.
Bodine had 14 points and
guard Stanley Walker added
10 tallies.
The previous day in
Pendleton, Lane edged Blue
Mountain 64-60. The Timberwolves led 35-32 at the half but
went down 32-25 in the second
stanza to the Titans wellexecuted second-half attack.

Women cagers win one,
lose one in doubleheader
by Lucy Hopkins

Titans nip Umpqua

TORCH Staff Writer

LCC's women's basketball
squad played two games on
the road last weekend, winning one and losing one for a
5-4 OCCAA record.
Friday Feb. 11 the Titans
met Blue Mountain in
Pendleton and fell 64-56. According to Coach Sue Thomp·
son, "Blue Mountain played
well. . . the best game of the
season.'' She also added that
the Timberwolves had some
excellent outside shots.
By switching its zone
defense Blue Mountain was
able to hold Lane off during
the first half. By the time the
second half was underway the
Titans had adjusted their game
plan to the switch and was able
to come close to the Timberwolves on .the scoreboard.
Thompson cited turnovers
and lack of intensity as major
problems contributing to
Lane's loss. But she also praised efforts by Camee Pupke,
Sam Prentice and Dawn
Bredesen.
Prentice held on to her
status as the OCCAA's
leading rebounder, garnering
11 against Blue Mountain. She
also scored 15 points to lead
Titan scoring.
Bredesen also remained consistent so far as scoring, tallying 14 points. Pupke finished
with 12.

Center Konnie Denk scored
a career-high 20 points and
pulled down 10 rebounds to
lead Lane to a 51-48 victory
over Umpqua last night in
Roseburg.
Sam Prentice continued her
reign as the OCCAA's leading
rebounder, grabbing 12
caroms against the Timberwomen.

The Titans' next game, the
following night in Gresham
against Mt. Hood, was
another story altogether. "We
were ready to play," said
Thompson. Lane started
tough and won 48-38.
According to Thompson,
the game was plagued by fouls
and ''questionable calls by the
Thompson feels
referees."
two key changes helped Lane
to win: switching and toughening up their defense against the
Saints and moving Pupke
from forward to a post position.
Bredesen played tenacious
defense, gaining 12 steals and
one blocked shot. She also had
five assists and scored eight
points.
Thompson was very pleased
with the play of Ruth Fritz and
DeAnn Duval: ''They played
with good intensity and hustled." She also noted that Konnie Denk came off the bench
tough and played a good
game.

Thompson also stressed that

Timeus and Rose two each.
