Lane Community College 'The Pacesetter of Oregon College Newspapers' Vol. 18, No. 17 February 17 - F:Fee1~D!HmB~J•lll8~ 1983 Lane legislators seek tax changes Analysis by Mike Sims TORCH Associate Editor Photo courtesy Oregon Daily Emerald 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 continued on page 3 Proposed serial levy would fund new equipment on LCC campuses these requests will be reviewed by lay advisory committees and department heads to determine critical needs.

Page 2 February 17 - al, 1983 The TORCH 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. Uh ... what campaign promises, Nancy dear? J>y Arthur Hoppe for Chronicle Features Syndicate Ronald Reagan, who at age 69· would be the oldest man ever _inaugurated president, pledged today to undergo periodic tests if elected and would "step down" if any evidence of senility were detected -- News item, June 10, 1980. Good morning, housewives and other shut-ins. It's time for another chapter of "The Golden Years," the heartwarming serial that asks the question: "Can an over-the-hill, unemployed movie actor find happiness as leader of the free world?" As we join Ronnie and his beautiful co-star, Nancy, today, he is just sitting down at the breakfast table. Ronnie: (kissing her cheek) Good morning ... uh ... uh ... Nancy: I'm "Nancy," dear. Ronnie: Yes, of course, Nancy Dear. Let's see, what was I looking for? Nancy: Your breakfast, dear. And here it is, piping hot. Darling, I hate to bring this up. But isn't there something you've been forgetting? Ronnie: (thoughtfully buttering his tie) I don't think so. Let me check. Jacket, shirt, shoes, socks, trousers. .Darn! I'll put them on right after breakfast. Nancy: I was speaking of one of your campaign promises. . Ronnie: (sternly) I never forget a campaign promise! That's because I keep a list of them with me at all times. (frowning) Now where did I put that list? Nancy: It's in your hand, dear. Ronnie: It's in my hand. And it says right here, "S. Net." That's so I'll never forget. .. What the heck's an S. Net? Nancy: That must refer to the promise you made two years ago that you would never cut "the social safety net of programs" for the poor. 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 1983, dear, but whaes a couple of hundred million among friends? 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 Unemp.," whatever that is? 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.," "Create Prosp." What gibberish. Here's a funny one, "Sen. Test." Did I promise to test a senator? Nancy: No, dear. You promised .. .I hesitate to say this, but you promised to take periodic tests to make sure that you weren't. . .Well, forgetting things. Ronnie: Gosh, that sure was a good promise. And I'm proud to say I've never forgotten . a campaign promise I've remembered to write down. How did my tests turn out? Nancy: I'm afraid, dear, that you forgot to take them. Ronnie: (popping the list in the toaster) Well, that's easily remedied. I'll go take one first thing after breakfast, Nellie. No, not Nellie ... -Letters- ------ 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. Joseph S. Brooks Nancy: It's "Nancy," dear. And I'm so happy that at last you,re going to take the test. Ronnie: (taking her in his arms) It makes me happy to make you happy, Nancy Dear. What test?

The TORCH February 17 --ii, 1983 Page 3 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. On the Wire Compiled by Mike Sims From Associated Press reports 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. continued from page I - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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. Page 4 February 17 - 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. ROBERTSON'S DRUGS Phone 343- 7715 • ~035 S. Hilyard St .

Fifty percent of their funding comes from the community. The Mission used to limit stays by transients and the needy to three days. But the increase of such situations due to the economy has propelled the allowance of indefinite lodging. The Client's Council publishes a monthly newspaper alerting the community to possible changes in state welfare regulations. Sistrom refers to the Client's Council as ''watchdogs on. state changes." For example, the Council was responsible for passing a bill stating that no waivers of public legislation can be put into effect without a public hearing. EBFW is awaiting the final outcome of a piece of legislation submitted to Congress which requests that no further cuts be made in the food and welfare budget. Dorothy Sistrom, leader and coordinator of Eugene Bread for the World (EBFW) anticipates legislative action on the resolution to take place sometime near the end of March. - - -·- LEVY Satellite television 'dish' to be ready Spring Term LCC's new 4.6 meter satellite television ''dish,'' located on top of the Center Building, will be completed and in use by Spring Term of this year. The installation that started in mid-January is being completed by Electronic Technicians 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 INCEST WORKSHOP Thursday Feb. 17, 1-SPM 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. continued from page I 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.

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 management field, claims Allen Gubrud, an instructor in the LCC Science Department. The reason for this, says 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. Box 478, Springfield, OR, 97477, or call 746-0228. Application forms should also be available soon through LCC counselors. Two math instructors offer support group for women by Chris Gann TORCH Staff Writer "It's tough to go through some math courses, but not taking these courses can limit you in career choices," says Joyce Duchesneau, LCC mathematics instructor. This month Duchesneau and another instructor, Jill McKenney, begin a support group for women enrolled in Math 101 and higher courses. Duchesneau says that the Math Department staff is concerned about the low enrollment and high drop-out rate of women i~ college level math courses. When staff members surveyed women math students they found that the women students had "a sense of loneliness,'' Duchesneau says. Many male students go grammer positions to systems through several terms of math analysis positions will be imtogether and establish study possible. sessions and support systems Women in the support are there on their own.

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.

Page 8 February 17 -•, 1983 The TORCH 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 waiting for approval. When asked about the effect Keli Osborne currently vice-president), Women for Disarmament, LCC Classified Employees Union, and the Lane County Labor Council. "My mission is to use my writing and communication skills to agitate for .social political and change," she says. 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.'' DID YOU KNOW That Britt Reid -- the Green Hornet -- was actually the great-great-grandson of the Lone Ranger? The TORCH February 17 -•, 1983 Page 9 ENTERTAINMENT 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.

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.

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.
