Lane Community College Vol. 18, No. 20 March 31 - .A.; ii 6, 1983 'The Pacesetter of Oregon College Newspapers' Election results "., ,.._:,' t Serial levy defeated by Chris Gann TORCH Staff Writer Lane County voters rejected LCC's proposed $4.6 million serial levy by a near two to one margin and re-elected two incumbent LCC Board of Education members Tuesday. Approximately 15 percent of the county's registered voters cast ballots in the March 29 special election. On the LCC levy issue, county election officials say voters cast 12,028 "no" votes and 6,516 "yes" votes. LCC Board remains unchanged Incumbent board members Larry Perry and James Pitney both reclaimed their positions, each running unopposed. Pitney, a Junction City dairy farmer, represents Zone Two (north Lane County) on the panel. Perry, a social studies teacher at South Eugene High School, serves in an "at large" capacity. Retired Associate Dean of Community Education Nile } . t\ :s,; • : • Williams was defeated by James Swanson in his bid for a seat on the Lane Education Service District Board. Back to the drawing board Dean of Administrative Services Bill Berry said yesterday that college planners will "return to the drawing board" to ·develop alternative plans for needed deferred maintenance projects and instructional equipment. Monies raised by passage of the levy would have gone towards replacing outdated instructional equipment and performing deferred maintenance tasks on campus buildings. Berry said that it is too early to tell what these contingency plans will entail. Before firm plans are developed the state legislature must decide on the level of funding for community colleges. Berry says he does not expect a decision from the legislature b<?fore June. Berry also believes the ''uncertainty'' about what the legislature will do to balance the state budget was a factor in the levy's failure. ·w, Photo by Andrew Hanhardt COOKIES -- LCC students dug deep into Skelton (I to r) -- peddled their world-famous their pockets Wednesday as Brownie Scouts wares in the second floor foyer of the Center from Marcola's Troop 36 -- Carrie Paris, Building.

The President's Council of Oregon Community Colleges (PCOCC) has voted unanimously to merge the Oregon Community College Athletic Association (OCCAA) with the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NAA<:;C).

Smith says all VITA volunteers have been trained in tax preparation by the IRS and have passed examinations in order to qualify. As an example Smith cites volunteer Chris Tegge, who is a licensed tax consultant and has worked with H & R Block for seven years. VITA volunteers will help students prepare state forms 40s and 40 and federal forms 1040EZ, 1040A and 1040B. However, the program will not give assistance to students needing to complete more complex tax forms. Smith stresses that when students visit the VITA temporary office, they should bring all pertinent finance records with them -- otherwise a tax practitioner may not be able to help them. Those people unable to attend scheduled sessions at LCC are encouraged to inquire at the Eugene or Springfield public libraries, where sessions are also available.

Page 2 March 31 - A-nr.i:W, 1983 The TORCH EEFORALL It wasn't the NFL -- but it was great good fun! by Mike Sims TORCH Associate Editor As successful as the USFL may become, I doubt that the Generals, Blitz and Express -- or their NFL counterparts -- will ever come close to even matching the local color and sheer good fun of the old Eugene Bombers. Newcomers to Eugene will respond with incredulous amusement to the question "Did you know that Eugene once had a pro football team?'' while old-timers will chuckle fondly in memory of rainy fall Sunday afternoons spent watching the Bombers. Eugene lumberman-about-town Peter Murphy will grin and reminisce about his entry into the pro football world at the drop of a hat. "I still bump into people a few times a year who remember the club and ask me when I'm going to bring the Bombers back to town," he says. Murphy brought the Bombers to Eugene in the summer of 1966 as an expansion franchise of the Northwest Football League, which had teams throughout the Pacific Northwest. Home turf for the Bombers was Bethel Park, located in Eugene's industrial sector at the west end of Roosevelt Boulevard. The facility, which was also home to the baseball Emeralds, was torn down in 1969. Bethel Park helped symbolize the homey appeal of the Bombers with creaking bleachers that yielded a fine crop of splinters to a sports fan's derriere, a cramped "stadium club" twice the size of the Student Resource Center which served hot dogs, draft Heidelberg and a respite from the inevitable game-day monsoons; and a jury-rigged plywood press box topping the north sideline bleachers. KPNW sports director Mike Guldager recalls with amusement the spartan press accomodations he and his fellow KZEL-AM/FM "Voice of the Bombers," the late Hal Wehmeier, shared. ''There was always a real boisterous group of fans hanging around right in front of Hal and I, offering us a 'nip' or two and giving their 'man on the street' views of the game,'' Guldager chuckles. Murphy recalls that season tickets for Bomber games sold quite well prior to both seasons the Bombers competed. The club also offered a family ticket package which was quite popular, and Bethel Park was often filled, or nearly so, when the Bombers took the field. The Bombers' brand of football provided area fans with many a fun-filled Sunday afternoon. "A Eugene club was a natural good entry for the league, what with the U of O and Oregon State nearby to provide talent," Murphy commented. Indeed, nearly 75 percent of the Bombers' roster was comprised of ex-Duck and Beaver stars, which enhanced local interest to no small degree. Former UO quarterback Doug Post, now an assistant superintendent for the Eugene Parks and Recreation Department, was the Bombers' signal-caller during their first campaign and had, in his words, "a hell of a good time." ''It was a good post-college football experience," Post recalls, "a good way for those of us who didn't go on to the NFL or AFL to continue playing ball on a low-key basis:'' According to Post, a few Bombers and other league players did go on to play big-league football. Two Bombers went on to earn All-Pro honors in Canada and one was named the Canadian Football League's most valuable player. The Bombers finished that first year with an 8-2 record and the following year played in the Continental League against the NWL clubs, San Jose, Sacramento and Orange County. The Bombers also formed a working agreement with the NFL's Chicago Bears and were able to obtain players from that club. They continued their winning ways and remained ·near the top of the pack in the CFL. But the alliance with the CFL meant the beginning of the end for the Bombers. Increased traveling expenses and just the pressure of "getting too big too fast" helped contribute to a decision to disband both the Continental League and the Bombers at the end of the 1967 season. Most who were affiliated with the Bombers seem to agree that the whole venture was fun while it lasted. "It was a very gratifying experience," Murphy sums up. "I doubt I'd do anything like it again -- we all lost a .lot of sleep over the whole deal -- but made up for it by having a lot of fun.'' And fun is something that seems to be sorely lacking in pro sports today. Myself, I wouldn't trade my childhood memories of getting thoroughly rainsoaked with the Bombers of a Sunday afternoon for a block of tickets to the Super Bowl. --Letters---------------~·- Let's return to the Golden Rule To the Editor On behalf of myself, and other LCC students I would like to take advantage of this letter column to bring attention to the problem that has been here since the Fall Term. The problem that I am talking about is white students picking on black students. When I first came to LCC I thought that I would have some problems with some of the white students. So I said to myself that I would try to get along with everyone and stay out of trouble. But I see that was impossible to do, because I didn't have to say anything to them -- they would call me all kinds of names for no reason. I can handle one or two, but when it comes to four or five I don't know what to do. I don't want to get put out of school over something like that. I came to LCC to get a good career in something, not go back to the old ways of the South. So I would like every student that has allowed this kind of behavior to happen to sit back and put on my shoe. Say you were white and went to college in the South, to an all black college. How would you feel? Out of place, I hope because that is how I feel right at this point. All that I'm trying to say is if you don't know my real name that my mother gave me, ask me I would be more than happy to tell you. times more powerful than the weapons used against Japan. I myself have lost track of how many times we can kill ourselves as a race. Well, it finally happened. Reagan has dropped the other shoe and brought forward his proposal for escalating the arms race, starting with a massive, and e?{pensive, research and development program to produce more and ''better'' weapons. Sound like an alarmist statement? It is. But let's take a step back and look at what's happening. Now, we have ~Reagan as president, wanting to build new anti-weapon systems that some say smack of Star Wars. Well, people were saying the same thing about sending men to the moon and Buck Rogers. I believe it can be done. I do not believe it should be done. To develop such a weapon or anti-weapon system would make the other "super powers'' very nervous, and could provoke them into a "defensive" nuclear first strike, while making this country feel more secure and less hesitant of a first strike against another. Similarly the current arms race is a danger by the growing numbers of weapons on both sides, in or out of balance. While at the same time it has been shown that arms reduction will not work, because neither side trusts the other enough to just start dismantling bombs. Two generations have grown up with nuclear weapons. At first, it was possible to think of using these weapons to win a war, such as in WWII. Now, however, this is not the case, with estimates of warheads on both sides ranging in the thousands, and each one on the order of ten So, we can't go forward as it is, or as Reagan wants it, and we can't go back. What's left? You guessed it, to stay as we are now, to freeze nuclear arms. But we have already sent that message to Washington, and they chose to ignore it. The hardliners out there are probably saying ''Yeah, but if We should try to get along in this world and live as one and do unto others as you would like them to do unto you. Gerald Horton Stop the arms race madness now To the Editor we do that it will mean an accounting of arms on both sides. They will know how many, what type, and where our missiles are and vice versa (seriously breaching 'national security' on both sides)." But this thinking still presupposes that there is a way to win a nuclear war. There are so many warheads in so many places all over the world that even if we know that we can destroy all of their weapons, or them all of ours, it would still render this planet uninhabitable. I submit to you that the sheer weight in numbers of warheads is "deterrent" enough. Wars are entered because one side thinks it can win something from the other -- resources, land, strategic position, or whatever. But what is the use of war if nobody survives? The number of nuclear warheads in the world does not bother me so much as does the attitude of our world leaders. Because as long as there are people like Ronald Reagan in office who believe that not only is a nuclear war winnable, but that by building more and "better" weapons it will become more winnable nuclear annihilation becomes more and more possible. We can already kill ourselves. Is it time yet to learn how to feed and educate ourselves? Please, let's madness now. stop the Ronald C.

Forum Curriculum should not be dictated entirely by enrollment by Vicki Wisner for the TORCH Editor's note: Wisner's forum reflects only her opinions and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the TORCH staff, editorial board or advisors. women's studies program is unknown. If the people making the decisions were aware of what women's studies is, the program would be considered a necessary part of the school's curriculum. Rather than low enrollment, I believe the basis of this decision is disregard and devaluation of the reality of women's lives. The progam 's overall effect is one of women claiming the truth of their lives through the readings and tellings of other women validating their existence. It is the celebration of women's accomplishments and contributions as they worked to shape history. It is the process of comparing the myths with the realities thereby discovering an image through female eyes and not just the male's perception. It is the acceptance of a strength and • dignity all women share regardless of race, ethnic or religious background or economic status. All this is done from a feminist perspective; i.e., one in which women, their lives and work are valued, not devalued -- no bias exists according to sex, but rather, solutions are explored to ensure all human beings are cherished as creative contributors to the growth of culture. Most of what this society values is based on the male bias in which women are seen as secondary. Publications, including textbooks, do not project a true image of the reality of women's lives. Women's studies can only be eliminated if textbooks and programs are changed to include these realities. Just as women's lives have not been valued, so is the women's studies program on this campus being devalued. A program integral to women claiming the truth is being too casually treated. Again, I believe the real issue is not low enrollment; but rather, why is there a disregard for and ignorance about a program which embraces women so thoroughly.? I strongly encourage all students and staff to actively support the women's studies program in order for it to become a permanent part of this school's curriculum. It is important to make yourself heard. In October 1982, LCC Women's Studies instructor Kate Barry received a letter notifying her of the elimination of her position due to declining enrollment. It was the first indication such action was being taken and her last day of employment was set for Dec. 17, 1982. The letter indicated extensive studies of enrollment patterns had been made; and despite recruiting efforts, the number of students served was too low. In the weeks to follow, a petition containing nearly 200 signatures in support of Kate Barry and the program, plus numerous personal letters (from LCC students and staff and people in the community) were delivered to Dean (of Instruction Gerald) Rasmussen's office. In November 1982, Kate Barry received her second letter letting her know she was being kept on winter term with two classes instead of three. The reason for the extension was to explore alternatives and work on curriculum. From November to January the women's studies issue died down, fall term ended and winter term began. In January, Kate Barry received her third letter extending her termination date to the end of spring term and a promise for resolution (during the same term) of the question of whether or not she would have a 1983-84 contract. Questions I have are: • How can a permanent teacher receive a notice of termination . in which no prior discussion takes place including that teacher? • How can a community school eliminate a -program serving people no matter how low the enrollment unless those students are allowed to tell how the program affects them rather than basing a decision on if it serves enough people? • What is a community school that prides itself on progressiveness and a diverse curriculum doing when it considers the elimination of a program which serves the needs of a high percentage of its population?

But it will be torn apart clear down to its temporary foundation before it is finished. The LCC Board of Education is funding the $50,000 construction project which was designed by the US Department of Energy, planned by second year LCC Construction Technology students and assembled by first-year students of the program. According to instructor Peter Watt, the intent of the project is to build the home on a component basis . Students have constructed the frame of the home, but will dismantle it once a plot of land is purchased then reassemble it again on the new site. At this point construction tech students will complete the interior of the home -- with the exception of the electrical wiring, plumbing, heating, and . carpet installation. These jobs will be performed by private contractors at best-bid prices. Once complete, the home will be offered for sale, although no selling price has yet been establis!led. Construction costs and any profit earned will be returned to LCC. The project is one of three currently underway by Construction Technology crews. The students recently completed a 1900-square foot passive solar design home near West 25th and Chambers streets. The structure features an active solar hot water and heating system. Watt says the first estimate given by private appraiser Don Courtney for the house was $106,000. After other appraisals are submitted, the LCC board will choose a desired selling price and select a realtor to list the home for sale. Watt estimates that the home will be listed by midApril. Construction Tech students are also helping Eugene school district 41 build an 18' x 40' community school classroom at Ida Patterson Elementary School. Watt says that this project is giving students a chance to work in accordance with commercial construction codes, which vary from residenti~l codes. Construction Technology is a two-year program in the Special Training Department. Carl Horstrup is department chairperson, Hal Davis is the project manager and lead instructor, and Watt is the site inspector. In addition to classroom work and other learning projects, second year students and faculty plan the construction projects, while first-year students construct the buildings with faculty supervision.

The idea of using Springsteen tunes for a film isn't that unusual, except when one realizes that Baby, It's You is set in the late 1960s, when Bruce Springsteen was virtually a nobody and the problems of "growing up" were things folks tried to ignore. But as the film develops, the appropriateness of Springsteen becomes evident regardless of the chronological restrictions. Baby, It's You, which takes place mostly in Trenton, New Jersey, is the story of Jill Rosen (Rosanna Arquette), a standout high school student in her senior year. As captain of the debate team, president of the Honor Society, and the lead in the school play (among other things), she epitomizes the "girl you love to hate" -the kind who gets absolutely everything she wants (her dad's a doctor, too) but can only complain about all of the "problems" she has. The only real "problem" is in her head -- she thinks she should have "made it" with a boy already but is still a virgin, which makes her feel incomplete and sometimes out of place around her friends. Part of Jill's maturation takes place when she meets and begins "going out" with "The Sheik" (Vincent Spano), a sharp-dressing, fast-talking ladies man and sometimes student used to getting what he ' ROBERTSON'S DRUGS ' Phone 343-7715 3035 S.

Although Jill is smitten with him -- and he with her, really -- her personality wins out over his aggressive behavior, and the pair achieve a cautious equilibrium. Their relationship carries over into Jill's first year of college at a "progressive" upstate New York college (think of Reed College in Portland) where Jill finally discovers what she wants and realizes that "The Sheik" -- whose real name is Albert Capadilupo -• plays no real part in it. He meanwhile, is struggling as a would-be nightclub singer in Miami and not finding much success. He begins turning to Jill for support and, not finding it there, becomes despondent. And that's really the entire plot. There are twists and turns, of course, but the film essentially explores what hap- pens to people and relationships after high school is over. Director John Sayles, whose two previous films, Return of the Secaucus Seven and Lianna liad independently-funded budgets of $70,000 and $300,000, respectively, found himself with access to $3 million this time around. But the improvement in production quality in his latest effort seems to have robbed the film of the homey and realistic "feel" so evident in his previous films. In fact, taken as a complete cinematic package, Baby, It's You has to be Sayles' least satisfying work.

Although the characters are beautifully developed and complete, and the performances by Arquette and Spano wonderful, the film really goes nowhere. Yes, Jill and The Sheik reach new emotional conclusions. Yes, the transition from high school to college or high school to reality is a hard one. But these points are never thrown directly in the audience's collective face, and one leaves the theater feeling Sayles was a little bit too subtle this time. The best thing about Baby, It's You is the music. Period pieces which are part of the the film's background are supplemented by a thorough Springsteen repertoire which is never in the film but provides editorial comments over it. Sayles also effectively achieves the mood necessary to reflect the bleakness of existence in Trenton. Good camera angles and lighting make for an oft-times disheartening look at one East Coast reality. But on the whole, Baby, It's You, although well made, lacks the directional components which made Return of the Secaucus Seven and Lianna effective cinematic literature.

Page 6 March 31 - 41 •• 6, 1983 The TORCH SPORTS Athletic merger result of long battle munity colleges in three regions. The regions are divided between the Seattle area and the southwest and eastern parts of the state. "The NAACC is a wellorganized body,'' Thompson says. "It has a very good and strong government run by a full-time executive director and a board of commissioners. It's a highly-structured, wellfunctioning unit.'' The IO-member NAACC board of commissioners is made up of two representatives from each region and one college president from each state. Thompson and OCCAA Pres. Jerry Mosby (Blue Mountain CC athletic director) have been chosen to represent Region Four on the board. Thompson will be attending NAACC organizational meetings in Washington this weekend. Thompson sees the merger as a boon for LCC's athletic program. "It's a big advantage for better competition in sports like baseball, track and field, and cross country.'' LCC soccer coach Dave Poggi agrees: ''I'm happy that the merger went through. It'll provide a high level of competition and excitement for us on the soccer team. With the off-season recruiting and number of returning players I think we are in good shape.'' A Long Battle Thompson says that the bat•tie to merge with NAACC has been going on for over a year and a half, since the PCOCC "no nationals" ruling.
