administrative assistant
Evelyn Tennis describes the
mood of the classified
employees with whom she has
discussed the new Lane
Automatic Direct Deposit
(LADD) plan.
Under the plan, which takes
effect at the end of April, current LCC management, faculty and staff members will have
the option of having part or all
of their monthly paychecks
deposited either in financial
institutions of their choice or
in the Service Employees of
Lane County (SELCO) credit
union.
Employees who do not
choose one of these options
will have checks mailed directly to their homes. Authorization forms were distributed to
employees when paychecks
were issued March 31. New
employees and rehires will
have no choice -- their checks
will be direct deposited
automatically.
Pay will be deposited via
computer into the checking
and/ or savings accounts of
LCC employees choosing the

The University of Oregon
Faculty Assembly voted
March 2 by a 169-122 margin
to implement a semester
system beginning in the fall of
1985.
The State Board of Higher
Education will now consider
the recommendation. If approved, the university would
become the first state college
or university in Oregon to use
the semester system.
Under the semester system
students would attend classes
for 15 weeks each term, as opposed to the current quarter
system of 10-12 weeks. The
new system was proposed by
seven UO professors who
claimed the semester system
gives students more time to absorb material, give faculty a
chance to teach more in-depth
classes, and allow for better
student/professor relationship.
UO Pres. Paul Olum expressed his support for the
semester system saying that
"students will gain more
academically.''
Olum says that according to

said LCC Pres. Eldon Schafer.
''Some of what we are discussing here may become very real
possibilities if things worsen."
Schafer's comments were
directed at the LCC Board of

ever-darkening 1983-84

becomes all but an independent entity,
responsible to no one but itself.

by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor

It's approaching
that time of year
again. The time
when we're forced
to ask ourselves a
question most
students, for some
reason,
feel to be less than important: Who will
run our student government next year?
The question is an important one.
The ASLCC has access to close to
$50,000 in your money every year. If
students don't keep tabs on where that

A question of respon~ibility

The financial reason in and of itself
should be enough to make students
care about candidates and the voting
process. A less specific -- and less
recognized -- reason is one called
"responsibility." I won't go into a
conservative song and dance about
how it's everyone's "duty" to vote
because it's the democratic way ... but

let's not kid ourselves, either.
It's up to us to discover who the best
candidates are. Anything less than a
thorough individual effort by each and
every student to create, by voting, the
best possible student government is 1)
an irresponsible cop-out and 2) an
open invitation t·o special interest
groups. These groups will bombard the
ballot box with votes for their candidates -- candidates who oftentimes
fail to truly represent their constiuents.
A pat on the back

This editorial is in no way meant to
malign the present student government

by implying that they're mismanaging
funds or pushing special interests. No,
indeed. In fact, this year's government,
according to sources ranging from instructors to administrators, has done a
more responsible and credible job than
any LCC student government in a
long, long time.
My wit and wisdom stems from that.
very credibility, actually. Call it a concern for wanting to keep things the way
they are. Call it fiscal responsibility.
Call it editorial whimsy. In any case,
realize that it's well-intended.
And hey -- remember to vote.

Where do "select few choices begin and end?
II

The new system's merits or
drawbacks really aren't the questions
here. The objection lies mainly in the
concern employees have about a college administration which arbitrarily
implements a rule affecting every single
employee on campus -- the same administration which apparently didn't
consult those affected to any
noticeable extent.
A few questions to ponder: Where
does the prerogative of the ''select
few" to decide for the "betterment of
the whole" begin and end? Exactly
why did the college decide to adopt this
system, apparently out of the clear blue
sky? Why are the options for check
receival limited to two (i.e., why can't

by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor

A controversy seems to be brewing
over the new employee paycheck
distribution system (see story, page 1).
More than a few LCC faculty and
staff members have complained
and/or signed petitions objecting to
the "lack of process" the college admini_stration employed when it determined that employees could no longer
pick up their checks at their individual
departments. LCC employees have
now-- been forced to choose between
having··the checks delivered to their
homes or deposited in their bank accounts, assuming they have same.

checks continue to be picked up at
departments if employees so choose?)
And why is a disbursement plan that
will supposedly relieve employees from
the "hassles of payday" (according to
a March 31 explanatory memo from
Pres. Eldon Schafer) causing such an
uproar?
This latest development seems to be
either a clear-cut case of cluelessness or
an example of administrative
mismanagement and gross insensitivity. Dictating to employees where and
how they must receive the money they
earn is tantamount to forcing a child to
go to the birthday party of a friend he
hates and demanding that he "have a
good time!''

None of what's been mentioned includes an indirect invasion of privacy:
Savings and/ or checking account
numbers. If an employee opts for the
direct deposit plan, the college would
have a record of his/her number. This
is not to imply that LCC would be attempting to check its employees bank
records, but this surrendering of personal information is something that
needs to be considered.
And while the petition is being circulated, and the objections grow, we'll
adopt a "wait-and-see" attitude before
determining whether or not the LCC
administration's latest move will be a
boon or a blunder. Stay tuned.

A great number of these
students are still in jail. Their
sentences have been served but
their freedom has not been
granted. Two students have
died from the torture they
have received inside the
prisons.

To the Editor:

In April, _1976, the University of Tripoli and the University of Benghazi (Libya) were invaded by Gaddhafi and his
armed agents. The purpose of
this invasion was to seek out
students who did not follow
his ideology and to "clean"
the universities of any reactionaries. Riots broke out
within the vicinity of the
University of Tripoli and in
the streets of Benghazi. Large
numbers of students were arrested and tortured. Without
any trial, the students were
sentenced to three and four
years imprisonment.

EPA scandal involves more than toxic wastes
by Arthur Hoppe

for Chronicle Features Syndicate

If the Republicans can't come up
with a better scandal than the current
EPA affair, I fear for our republic.
A well-informed citizenry, as we
know, is essential to a democracy. And
I fear that nine out of ten readers simply can't get worked up over toxic
wastes. They haven't been reading the
stories. They don't know what's going
on.
Fortunately, through incredible feats
of investigative reporting, I've been
able at last to get to the heart of the
matter. And this scandal involves at
bottom, you will be delighted to hear,
sex.
It all began in January of 1981. Like
many conglomerates, Glutco Consolidated celebrated the inauguration
of President Reagan by dumping all
the toxic wastes (wait a minute, don't
go away) it had been saving into the
Potomac.
Now these wastes were the residue of

the imitation unicorn horn buttons that
Glutco tacked onto its iridescent
polyester suits. And the buttons were
made from di-saycilated acetylgelusil,
one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs
known to mankind!
The Potomac, of course, is the
source of Crystal Trickle Bottled
Water, the very same bottled water used exclusively by EPA headquarters in
Washington. Indeed, the EPA happens
to be Crystal Trickle's only customer.
(By now, astute readers may have an
inkling of the nature of the scandal,
but we are duty-bound to press on with
all the facts that are fit to print.)
The first hint of the scandal that was
to blossom so vigorously came on
February 14, 1981, when EPA receptionist Dierdre Moff took one sip of a
new shipment of Crystal Trickle Bottled Water, held a stapling gun on assistant shredding clerk Freddy Frisbee,
locked him in the Shredding Room and
demanded: "Let's make a nest!"
From then on, making nests became
the major activity in the EPA building.

While the lights never burned late,
neighbors complained of hearing
''rustlings and gigglings'' until all
hours. And visitors to the agency were
all-too-often greeted by officials wearing satisfied smirks on their lips and
scraps of paper in their hair.
(This explains why the EPA ordered
up two more shredders last January.
T-he old ones just plain wore out.)
But what about Director Anne Gorsuch Burford? Did she or did she not
have breakfast, lunch and dinner on
last June 18 with Charles (Bimbo)
Glutco? And did they or did they not
discuss toxic wastes?
'' Absolutely not!'' said a spokesman
reached by telephone. ''The only thing
anybody talks about around here is
nesting. Whoopee!"
And that's why Rita Lavelle was
fired? "Exactly," he said. "She refused to hang around the water cooler.
Yahoo!"
As to censored reports on conglomerates, all that was censored, he
insisted, were the billets-doux scrawled

on the backs, such as ''How about it,
honey bun? Your shredder or mine?"
The spokesman did admit there had
been "some lying" to the six different
horny congressional committees now
investigating the EPA. "If you think
we're going to tell them about Crystal
Trickle, you're crazy," he said.
"There's barely enough now to get us
through the weekends.''
Any doubts as to the potency of
Crystal Trickle was laid to rest by tests
in which laboratory mice, garbed in
iridescent polyester suits, were given
two drops and ... Well, some news is
not fit to print. Suffice it to say, that
there was one interesting side effect:
All the female mice subsequently grew
handlebar moustaches.
There you have the EPA scandal:
Corporate pressure, inefficiency,
cover-ups and lying. And -- whoops! -sex.
So keep an eye on this swell scandal
for democracy's sake. And if you don't
believe the sex part, just keep your
other eye on Mrs. Burford's upper lip.

Potential voters might ask these questions ...
In keeping with concerns expressed about student apathy
and lack of participation in
ASL CC elections, the
TORCH editorial staff has
prepared a list of questions
potential voters should be asking candidates, both in person
and at the polls.
These questions concern the
vital issues facing student
government next year. They
will be distributed to the candidates after the April 13 filing
deadline. The candidates'
answers will appear in the May

5 issue of the TORCH.

Space will also be provided
for alternatives to question
answers at that time.
The questions:

1) Why are you running for
student government? Be
specific.

2) Since the average student
knows little or nothing of the
ASLCC, respond briefly as to
why the ASLCC in general
and you in particular are im-

Commissioners' request for
Weaver Fleecing unf9unded
Instead of giving Oregon
Congressman Jim Weaver,
(D.-Eugene), the "Golden
Fleece" award as some
Oregon County Commissioners had requested, Sen.
William Proxmire has praised
Weaver as a "fighter for
Oregon's interests" and called
the Commissioners' claims
''completely unfounded.''
Proxmire gives the Golden
Fleece award each month to a
government agency that exmplifies wasteful government
spending. The Curry and
Douglas County Commissioners signed letters requesting that the award be
given to Weaver. They claimed
his support for wilderness had
made Oregon a "wilderness of
unemployment seven percent
above the national average."
However, in a letter sent to
the Curry County Commissioners Monday, Proxmire
replied that Weaver was a
"fighter for Oregon's interests" who is "highly
respected for his expertise and
legislative achievements.''
"You just couldn't do better," he said.

Proxmire said the commissoners' claims about
Weaver's record were unfounded and that the Oregon
Wilderness Act which Weaver
sponsored would actually
stimulate employment by protecting the salmon and fishing
industries. The wilderness bill
overwhelmingly passed the
House last month.
In a separate statement,
Weaver said he felt it was obvious Proxmire realized how
ridiculous it was to blame
Oregon's high unemployment
on wilderness. "He must have
looked at that and said
'You've got to kidding,'''
Weaver said.
''Curry County Commissioners can't blame their
unemployment on wilderness
because the programmed
harvest of the Siskiyou National Forest has actually gone
up since the last wilderness addition in 1978," he said.
'' And Douglas County
Commissioners can't blame
their unemployment on
wilderness because the Umpqua National Forest doesn't
have any wilderness."

portant to the LCC student.
3) What is your feeling about
the ROTC issue? Do you
believe courses should be offered on campus? Or do you
believe ROTC is not necessary
at this college?

4) LCC will face major budget
changes in 1983-84. These
changes might include a reduction in FTE and a subsequent

W

reduction in student population. They might also include a
reduction in services and programs if the budget is
redirected toward deferred
maintenance and repair. What
is your feeling about LCC's
1983-84 financial situation,
and what do you feel the
ASLCC's role will be?
5) With reference to question
4, what role do you feel the
ASLCC should take in

hat this paper needs is a warm
fuzzy section. . .a three dot
haven where the reader is safe
from the straight-lipped stare of
news, safe from sports ... here cut and dried is
ugly, and warm fuzzy is king ... therefore seek
not, gentle reader, who what where when why
-- rather for the moment give over to the sleepy
pursuits of warm fuzzy, and you won't be
disappointed. . .
I want to be Herb Caen when I grow up,
however, appparently insurmountable
obstacles have cropped up, plus numerous
technical difficulties, so I've abandoned the
idea of growing up, after thinking it over, I've
decided to be Bill Hall instead. I share a conviction with Charlie Brown: That the highest
aspiration in life is to write a syndicated column. What better cover than columnist to account for hanging around bars, jails, and
fishing holes, peeking over fences, ear cocked
to overhear, cups of coffee and packs of
Camels and rattly Smith-Corona .. .I rest my
case.
The trunk latch on my car is broken, but
when it used to work I habitually carried, along
with my tools, three items: A fishing pole, a
cuestick, and a beebee gun; I was hardly ever
bored. Now here, as the perceptive reader will
see, we have a grave breach of journalistic propriety -- irrelevant information, out of context,
convoluted structure, questionable taste -which leads to the next item: The Rules.
Columns need groundrules; one doesn't just
blaze away in print, so let's review the Warm
Fuzzy Guidelines:
• Politics are to be flatly avoided, thereby
nipping political hard feelings in the bud {see
note A below).

affected by these possible
budget cuts?
6) How involved sho.uld the

ASLCC be in speaking.out- on
controversial issues t&at affect, directly or indirectly,
LCC students and staff?
Should the ASLCC vote on
one uniform opinion, ·or
should the officers function as
seperate entities with seperate
opinions? Cite examples.

• Religion may be treated only in terms consistent with mush, and only in passing, not
main um subjectum {refer to note A).
'
• Weather, and other matters relative to
maintainig life on the planet is admissible (as
consistent with note A).
• This is a clean column. Here, no scandalmongering, no yellow press, no muckraking
finds a home, except as the occasion arises.
Character . assassination will be kept to a
minimum.
• The reader's attention span will not be taxed, nor any reply expected. Relax.
• To sum up, everything is sacred, which will
upset Dr. Atlunch in Philosophy.
{NOTE A: Except as the author deems otherwise expedient.)
So, Torchbearers, as you see from this stern
set of ideals, you may rest assured that the
Warm Fuzzy Staff keeps a firm grip on the
editorial reins. But Warm Fuzzy Thinking goes
even further. Readers Have Rights. Egad! Harrumph! Indeed. Rights . . . for instance, the
basic human right to a good yawn and stretch,
meaning you may yawn while I stretch your
patience, your credibility, your tolerance, your
right to see ·Warm Fuzzy Corner next week is

Symposjum this week

·w omen celebrate their progress

by Cathy Benjamin

TORCH Staff Writer

Women, wymmen, wymin.
Spell it as you like. They make
up roughly half of the world
population, and a celebration
in their honor is in progress.
During the week of April
3-9, the University of Oregon
is presenting its sixth annual
Women's Symposium, which
gives people in the area the
chance to talk about American
women's strengths and

weaknesses, to teach and to
learn, and to build solidarity
on issues concerning women.
The belief of the organizers of
the symposium is that women
working together can and will
overcome the obstacles that
are thrown in the paths of
womens' lives.
According to Lynn Pinckney, one of the coorganizers of the symposium,
''Our goal is to celebrate
women's culture and to provide survival skills on how to

live in a sexist society.''
The scheduled events should
appeal to a large cross-section
of Eugene, both male and
fem ale, says Pinckney, who
points to over 50 activities
planned for the week
workshops, panel discussions,
films and other activities.
Some of the discussion
topics include: Women and
Alcohol; Women in NonTraditional Careers; Violence
in the Home; Older Women
Returning to School; The rela-

Fun Run scheduled for April 24
The second annual Spring

road racers.
The Spring Fling Fun Run
includes a 10 kilometer (6.2
mile) road race, as well as a
two-mile fun run on the bike
paths along the Willamette
River. The course has been

certified and the runs sanctioned by the Athletic Congress (TAC/ AAU). Prizes will
be given to the top men and
women finishers, as well as
special prizes for middle and
final place finishers. A
number of local merchants
have donated the prizes for the
finishers as well as for postrace drawings open to all entrants.
Entry forms may be picked
up at a number of athletic
stores, Lane Community Col-

lege, the University of Oregon
and area running paths. The
entry fee is $6.50 for those
preregistered before April 17,
$8 after April 17 or for day-ofrace registration.
Runner packet pick-up and
day-of-race registration are at
KASH/KSND Studios, 1600
Day Island Road, Eugene, on
Sunday, April 24, beginning at
8 a.m. Parking is available on

About 3500 demonstrators turned out in the pouring rain to jeer
Reagan's economic policies. At the conference, the president called the
protesters "confused" and "frustrated."
During his Pittsburgh visit, Reagan also visited a jobs retraining program where 125 unemployed steelworkers are being taught to repair
computers. He then told the National Conference on Displaced
Workers that the nation owes retraining to those who have paid what he
called "the price of economic readjustment."

More bad vibrations
from James Watt
WASHINGTON -- Secretary of the Interior James Watt is embroiled
in another controversy, following a recent pronouncement that the
capital city's annual Fourth of July celebration has been sullied by "the
wrong element" attracted to performances by rock bands.
Watt didn't name any names, but the Beach Boys have headlined the
Independence Day show for the past three years. This year, the popular
Southern California surf group will be replaced by Wayne Newton and
the US Army Blues Band.
High-ranking Reagan administration officals have criticized Watt for
his snub towards the group. White House Deputy Chief of Staff
Michael Deaver defended them as "a national institution" and further
declaimed, "Anyone who thinks that the Beach Boys are hard rock
must think Mantovani plays jazz."
Wednesday Beach Boy Carl Wilson said he believed that Bush had
offered to intervene in the group's behalf. However, a spokesperson for
the vice-president said that the matter had not come up but Bush press
aide Shirley Green said that Bush wanted to express his "personal
friendship" with the Beach Boys. The band performed a benefit concert
for Bush during the 1980 presidential campaign.

Space walk slated for shuttlenauts
HOUSTON -- Astronauts Story Musgrave and Don Peterson, mission specialists aboard the space shuttle Challenger gave their spacesuits
a thorough testing in preparation for today's planned space walk -America's first since 1974.
Musgrave and Peterson were so eager to test the suits that they completed most of their two hours of tests by the time they were supposed
to begin them Wednesday.

State senate calls for end
to aid for El Salvador
SALEM -- The Oregon Senate says that the United States should stop
sending military aid to El Salvador until there is proof that human
rights abuses in the Central American nation have ended.
The body passed a memorial (a non-binding measure expressing the
legislature's-opinion on an issue) Wednesday calling for the cutoff of
aid. The measure now goes to the House of Representatives.
Senators speaking on the measure said that the military-backed
Salvadoran government has killed or tortured thousands of people. The
only dissenting vote on the memorial came from Sen. Mae Yih
(D-Albany), who said that state lawmakers have no business meddling
in US foreign policy.

Rush fan in-duct-ed
BUFFALO -- An unidentified teenage girl pulled from an air duct at
an auditorium here Wednesday evening said that she crawled into the
duct hoping to gain entry backstage during a concert by the rock band
Rush.
The girl was rescued by fire fighters and taken home by her father.
Her subsequent fate was not known.

Ente rtain men t

Spring Br:eak is explo itativ e
Review by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor

Why does a film like this
earn $5 million in its first
weekend of release?
Why will people in this community and thousands of
others pay perfectly good
money to see what amounts to
nothing more than superficial
garbage?
And why, oh why, are
moviegoing audiences subjected to a new crop of these
films year in and year out?
Perhaps the answers lie in
the very nature of the film
itself. The promotional ad
goes something like this:
"It's a time for cutting loose
and cutting up.
"It's a time for sun, sand,
surf, suds and sex.
"It's time for Columbia
Pictures Spring Break!"
In reality, it's time for films
like this to do nothing more
than crawl off into a corner
somewhere and die.
To put things in perspective,
Spring Break may be the most
socially significant movie since
Fast Times at Ridgemont
High. And it's definitely the
most significant waste of time
to hit the silver screen in years.
The alleged plot:
Nelson (David Knell) is a
freshman at a New York college who accompanies his
friend Adam (Perry Lang) to
Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., for spring break. Ft. Lauderdale being i..he famous spring and
summer vacation spot for college kids that it is, the film
promises its audience more
contrived, artificial situations
and meaningless relationships
than any single human truly
deserves.

Pho to courtesy Columbia Pictures Corp.

Spring Break: It has surf, sun 'n' sand; tanned bodies, lots of touchy-feely action and about as
much substance as the lo-cal beer its protagonists swill by the truckload. This mushwitted,
youth-ploitative waste of celluloid comes from the same brain trust that gave the world Friday
The 13th and A Stranger Is Watching. 'Nuf said.

Ah, but it isn't just simple,
mindless revelry during spring
vacation that makes up this
complex plot (which a thirdgrader could have conceived).
No, that would be far too
easy. Just to make his life
complicated, · Nelson's stepfather, a political aspirant, expects Nelson to coordinate his
fledgling campaign, and when
the stepfather discovers that
Nelson has snuck off to
Florida, takes his wife's yacht
to find him and bring him
back.
In the meantime, Nelson
and Adam have hooked up
with Stu (Paul Land) and O.T.
(Steve Bassett), two "wild 'n'

crazy guys" who accompany
the pair to a variety of collegerelated activities which include
a belly-flopping contest, a
beer-drinking contest, a
• "smallest bikini" contest, and
wet t-shirt contest.
And of course Nelson, the
shy, retiring type, falls in love
with an extraordinarily attractive girl who apparently is
drawn to shyness, retirement
and terminal clumsiness.
But we won't let reality intrude here, will we? After all,
this is mindless fun and meant
to be nothing more than a
reflection of the crazy good
times college students have
while on break, right?
Forget it. This movie is an
insult to the intelligence as well
as the pocketbook. And at the

risk of standing on a soapbox,
I'll tell you why.
Spring Break is about as accurate a reflection of college
life as Stripes was a reflection
of the Army. Giving viewers
the impression that the activities in this film are indicative of the way college
students spend their free time
is misleading. Where are these
people's / amities, anyway?
Apparently producer/director Sean S. Cunningham and
others of his ilk have
discovered that there's
something in people that
makes them want to see truly
bad, exploitative films that
have virtually no artistic
substance. Maybe it's an
outlet for repressed sexual and
emotional discrimination.
Maybe it's a compulsion to

look at tanned skin. Maybe
it's stupidity. Whatever it is,
people pay to see it.
Which makes the second
question asked at the beginning of this review the answer to
the third question: Since people are willing to pay to see
films like Spring Break,
studios are anxious to swamp
the market with them. Hence a
new busload of teen exploitation films year 'round. Where
else but ,.America, where
capitalism is king and art is an
afterthought?
Regardless of the endless
justifications, Cunningham's
alleged work is still pointless
and exploitative. With each
film he releases, he seems to be
trying to get across the idea
that young people -- in college,
male, female, whatever -- do
nothing more than drink too
much beer, smoke too much
dope, and endlessly explore
one another's bodies.
Granted, there's a lot to be
said for recreation, but Cunningham and Co. are way out
of line.
As a result, one can't really
expect much more than one
gets from this film. After all,
it's from the same crew who
brought the film world artistic
gems like Friday the 13th and
A Stranger is Watching. With
a list of credentials like those,
how could you possibly keep
yourself away from the
theatre?
Films like Spring Break do
more than perpetuate a bad
stereotype about college
students, though. They also
make a point of exploiting
women by constantly relating
the story from a male perspective. In keeping with this
trend, Spring Break looks at
the beachfront vacation world
of Ft. Lauderdale as nothing
more than a sexual parking lot
-- teeming with nubile,
scantily-clad young women -in which to practice one's driving.
Frankly, it's a trend that
never should have been allowed to develop. And now that it
has, it's getting old.
In the final analysis, we
should all give ourselves a
break -- and leave films like
Spring Break where they
belong: On the cutting room
floor.

High Road to Chinq •• .see Tom flop
Review by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor ·

Tom Selleck doesn't seem
like such a b~d guy, really.
After slogging away in TV
commercials and bit parts for
several years, he finally landed
a decent part in a decent show
and drew rave reviews and
ratings for his rugged good
looks and his friend's Ferrari.
Riding a wave of good fortune that could only seem to
get bigger, Tom Selleck was an
actor in search of a strong
movie vehicle to call his own,
some piece of work to make
him "legit" in the eyes of
Hollywood.
Well, Tom's still looking for
a strong movie vehicle. Oh, he
made a film, all right. But
High Road to China probably
wasn't what he had in mind
when he was thinking of profitable career moves.
High Road to China tells the
story of Eve Tozer (Bess Armstrong), the daughter of an eccentric millionaire inventor
(Wilford Brimley) five years
vanished and presumed dead.
Eve has twelve days to find her
father in the wilds of
Afghanistan, or he will be
declared legally dead, his fortune reverting to his scheming
business partner, Bentik
(Robert Morley) and leaving
Eve penniless.
Since the only way to
Afghanistan is by plane, Eve
must hire a pilot with a sense
of adventure and a lot of skill.
Enter one Patrick O'Malley
(Selleck), an ex-World War I
ace who owns a flying school
and is up to his ailerons in
hock.
O'Malley also happens to be
an incorrigible ladies' man
with a penchant for other
men's wives tempered only by
his dislike for the socially elite.
As a result, the pair is at odds

from the word go, through
kidnapping, battles with
natives, and a variety of other
mishaps on the way to finding
Eve's father.
The plot is fairly good -High Road to China has, at
the onset; a great deal of
potential, both as an action/ adventure flick and as a
character study. Unfortunately, the film ends up just short
of lifeless.
It's not Selleck's fault. He's
actually quite likeable, and
although I hesitate to compare
him with Clark Gable, as
others have done, I think he
does a credible job. He's not
great, but he's good enough.
No, the film is just too stiff
in too many ways. After a
marvelous opening scene, the
characters plod through a
variety of situations that make
the viewer realize just how
good Raiders is/was.
It's basically a matter of
pacing. Raiders was what I
like to call a "barn, barn,
barn" film, a film where the
action never stoppped once it
got started. Indiana Jones
found himself in impossible
dilemma after impossible
dilemma minute to minute,
and it made the film entertaining.
High Road to China tries to
do the same thing and can't
pull it off. Agonizing lulls interrupt biplane flying sequences -- the only truly
stimulating visuals in the film
-- to relate all but nothing in
the way of character development or even interesting
dialogue.
And after a while the erratic
pacing gives way to ''The Tom
Selleck Show." See Tom talk.
See Tom kiss Eve. See Tom
agonize over his demolished
plane. See Tom fly into the
ground. And so on.

Armstrong and Selleck in High Road To China: Magnum, P.U.!

about the film lie in the performances. Bess Armstrong,
whose only other major film
role was as Len Cariou's
girlfriend/wife in Alan Aida's
The Four Seasons, is appealing as Eve. There is a
chemistry between Armstrong
and Selleck which reinforces
the "opposites attract"
theory, but their relationship
isn't abused nearly enough.
Robert Morley, as Bendik,

the evil ex-partner of Eve's
father, is just fine. Having
been a spokesman for British
Airways for the past few
years, Morley has been absent
from film, but he turns in a
solid performance as a villian
here.
But the individual efforts
don't make the film appealing
as a package. In fact, they
reinforce the aimlessness of
the action, the inability of the

writers and the director to -give
the film any kind of focus, and
the absence of a compelling
reason to make the audience
care about what's happening
in the film.
In the end, it's what makes
High Road to China a road
not worth taking.
Better luck

CPR is a simple life-saving necessity
by Sandy Hall

public buildings. Ellison wishes this could be changed, citing the case of a person who died of a heart attack in a local bank two weeks ago. Ellison asserts
that person could have been saved if a bystander had
been trained in CPR .

for the TORCH

''The life you might be saving could be mine.''
That's what Wanda Ellison, LCC cardiopulmonary
resuscitation instructor, tells her classes about CPR.
LCC offers courses in cardiopulmonary resuscitation on both the main campus and the Downtown
Center through the Adult Education Department.
CPR is the reviving of circulation and breathing
artificially to a person whose heart and lungs have
stopped functioning. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
and chest compression are used to stimulate the
natural function of the heart and lungs, according to
the American Red Cross.
CPR can be performed on adults, children and infants. It is used to revive circulation in drownings,
electrical shock, smoke inhalation and numerous
other accidents. It is not just for heart attack victims.
Health and PE instructor Cecil .Hodges teaches
CPR techniques on the main campus in two courses:
Advanced Emergency Care (HE 254, three credits)
and Cardiovascular Disease (HE 199, three credits).
Hodges uses the lecture/ discussion method which
involves demonstrations, lectures and practice on a
special mannequin known as "Resusci-Anne." This
mannequin simulates the body's response to CPR
and also measures how effectively CPR is being performed.
Students are certified by the Red Cross to perform
CPR upon completion of the eight-week course. The
classes are offered each term.
Ellison teaches CPR courses about once a month
on Saturday at the Downtown Center. Classes are
open to 14 students. Ellison uses a combination of
workbooks, audio-visual aids and mannequins to
teach and practice CPR. The course is self-paced and

••••

can be completed in seven hours.
The Student Health Services also offers CPR
courses to LCC employees. CPR training is required
for students in the Nursing, Dental Assistant and
Hygenist, Medical Office Administration program
and Emergency Medical Technician programs.
Although First Aid training is required by law for
teachers and bus drivers, CPR is not. There are no
laws or ordinances in Eugene or Lane County requiring a specific number of certified CPR personnel in

The results of many reports on the success of CPR
are varied because of differing test environments.
One survey may best give a simple authoritive
answer. In the December 1977 journal Circulation 19
victims were studied. Seven received quick, effective
CPR within five minutes of their attacks. Twelve got
no help until an ambulance arrived. Of those who
received quick CPR, six of the seven lived. Of those
who did not receive CPR half died and five of the six
survivors had central nervous system damage.
Learning CPR isn't hard, Ellison says. It is
"simple" but requires proper technique and mannequin practice. CPR can be performed by one or two
people. Two-person CPR is the most desirable
because it can be performed longer with less fatigue
by those giving CPR until professional help can arrive.
CPR certification lasts one year, but can be renewed with refresher courses requiring mannequin practice and renewal of techniques. Recertification lasts
three years.
Under Oregon's "Good Samaritan" statute those
who give CPR are not liable for any damages unless
they are uncertified. The American Red Cross will
back certification if suit is filed against a CPRtrained person. Ellison knows of no cases of such a
suit being filed against someone in Oregon.
CPR instruction is also available throughout the
community. Sacred Heart and McKenzie-Willamette
Hospitals offer classes, as do the Red Cross and the
Oregon Heart Association. Community cenfer{and
fire departments also provide CPR training.

Summer counseling jobs available
Applications from Oregon
college and university students
for short term employment
this summer are now being accepted by the state 4-H office
of the Oregon State University
Extension Service.
Nearly 40 students will be
hired by the Extension Service
to work as counselors at 4-H
Summer Week at OSU in June
and at the Oregon State Fair in
Salem in late summer. The
deadline for applying for positions in both programs is April
15.
Summer Week counselors
must have completed one year
of college and preference will
be given to students with
previous counseling experience, according to Alan
Snider, Extension 4-H youth
specialist. The 25 student
counselors hired will receive
$70 plus room and board for
their work from June 12 to 19.

After noting that his words
probably wouldn't make him
''the most popular person in
the room,'' Schafer noted that
in the end, the college may be
forced to "just not serve as
many students as well."
Although generally less than
enthused over the new budget
document, the committee and
the board discussed the
realities of LCC's financial
situation.
Board chair Charlene Curry
conceded that the $1.6 million
Lane would save_ by
eliminating extra FTE would
be a financial ''shot in the
arm'' toward keeping the $60
million facility maintained.

In his presentation, Berry
also showed how the new
budget takes into account a
5.8 percent hike in credit tuition and an 8 percent upping
of non-credit class expenses.
But ''it still may be necessary

Morch 9 Federal Court decision

Non-registration -cannot' affect f inacial aid
to receive college financial aid.
According to a March 22
National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) news
release, Alsop's decision was
based on his belief that enforcement of the law would
violate students' Fifth Amendment rights against selfincrimination. He also stated
that the law violates the provisions of the Constitution in
that it determines guilt and
metes out punishment without
trial.
LCC Financial Aid Director
Frances Howard explains that
an eligible student's noncompliance with draft regulations would be demonstrated
by a failure to provide
evidence of registration when

by Mike Sims

TORCH Associate Editor

A decision handed down
March 9 by a federal court in
Minnesota has thrown a
wrench into enforcement of
Selective Service regulations.
US District Court Judge
Donald D. Alsop issued a
preliminary injunction which
bars the US Department of
Education and the Selective
Service from enforcing Section
1113 of the Defense
Authorization Act of 1982.
The much-decried law, which
takes effect July 1, requires
that draft-eligible males submit evidence of compliance
with Selective Service laws
before being declared eligible

he applied for financial aid.
The NASFAA emphasized
that Alsop does not question
the constitutionality of the
Selective Service Act requiring
registration as the US Supreme
Court upheld that statute in
1981.
''The issue before the court
turns not on whether the
registration law should be enforced, but in what manner,"
Alsop stated at the time his injunction was issued.
Alsop's injunction will remain in force until a formal
hearing is held on the issue.

No date for this hearing has
been set.
Meanwhile, legislation has
been introduced in the US
Senate which would delay by
one year the effective date of
Section 1113. NASFAA officials testifying in favor of the
bill claim that court action on
lawsuits pertaining to the law
might not be resolved until
after the law is scheduled to
take effect, possibly disrupting
disbursement of 1983-84
financial aid.
Pending congressional and
further court action, the
NASFAA sought legal advice

on what action (if any) schools
should take under Alsop's injunction. Counsel advised that
''the most prudent course of
action for any educational institution in the light of the
(Alsop court) opinion is to
refrain from taking any steps
to enforce Section 1113 of the
Act.''

According to counsel,
schools may continue to use
financial aid forms containing
draft registration compliance
statements but may not require eligible students to complete the registration section of
the form.

being a part of the LCC family since the college was opened in 1965.

it 's been a labor of love -- which is no labor at all," Howard says.
"I've gained much more than I've given."
Howard has helped give LCC students opportunities to gain an
education they might not otherwise have had without financial
assistance from the college and government sources.
"The most unfortunate part of my job is the overregulation of
financial aid programs," Howard reflects. "Constant changes in the
programs (regulations, eligibility requirements, etc.) have brought
about confusion a~d turmoil.
•:But that's been part of my daily
tasks and not a maJor part of the Job," she happily adds.

April 23 unemployment seminar
to focus on self-help, economy
by Chris Gann

TORCH Staff Writer

This month unemployed Lane County
workers can attend a free, day-long seminar
that will focus on self-help and economic
trends.
LCC is sponsoring Moving Ahead: Options
for Unemployed Workers Saturday, April 23
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m ..
The Lane Transit District will provide free
bus service to and from the conference. A free
lunch will be served, and free day care provided.
Dick White, an LCC counselor and one of
the workshop organizers says unemployed people "don't have much control over the current
economic situation." But, he asserts, they can
control other factors in their lives, such as diet,
exercise, stress, and time management.
Russell Sadler, syndicated political commentator will open the morning session at 9 a.m. in
the LCC Cafeteria. His speech will be followed
by two panel discussions.
White says, ''The first panel will focus on the
general societal factors that brought us to this
economy ... (and) where the future is going."
This panel will include Ed Whitelaw, associate
professor of economics at the U of O; Mike
Shadbolt, from the Oregon Pacific Economic
Development Corporation; and Margaret
Hallock, senior economist for the Oregon State
Executive Department.
The second panel, White comments, "will
focus on people." Panel members are: Tom
Crofts, founder of the Northcoast Worker
Center (a California service organization for
unemployed people), Tom Fauria of the U of 0
Career Planning and Placement Center, and
Eugene attorney Wendy Greenwald. These

panelists will discuss support groups, career
trends, and legal services.
After lunch, organizers have scheduled 25
workshop sessions that will be repeated three
times. White says topics range from the
political -- how to lobby for more tax dollars to
be spent on jobs and welfare programs-- to
nutrition, to legal rights and to resume writing.
White and the other workshop planners expect about 600 people to attend. Similar sessions at Linn-Benton and Southwestern Oregon
community colleges drew approximately 600
persons each, while a Mt. Hood CC session attracted around 1100.
White emphasizes that the workshop will offer more than just a one-day morale boost.
"Most sessions have sign-up sheets so people
can get together later on (in support groups)."
In addition, participants may sign up for services with representatives from about 30 local
agencies.
White encourages LCC staff members and
students to volunteer as helpers during the conference. He says volunteers don't need to be
employment specialists to assist. Workers are
needed to collect food donated by local
businesses, make sandwiches for lunches and be
greeters or guides when participants register.
Interested volunteers can leave their names
and phone numbers at the Counseling desk on
the second floor of the Center Building.
White urges unemployed people who are interested in attending the workshop to call the
LCC Women's Awareness Center (747-4501,
ext. 2353), the Counseling Center (726-2204) or
the Downtown Center Adult Education program (484-2126) beginning Monday, April 11.
Persons needing child care are requested to indicate so when they call.

ASLCC Communications Director

• The time is growing near when many of us will say ~oodbye
to LCC and, for some, goodbye to the ASLCC. Celeste Pawol,
who has served as cultural director for the ASLCC, is planning a
special farewell performance on May 20 at the WOW Hall.
Mississippi blues artist R.L. Burnside, a sharecropper from Tennessee, will offer both a show and an afternoon workshop.
• Applications for the upcoming elections are available in the
ASLCC offices. All applications must be _submitted to the
ASLCC office, Center room 479, by 4 p.m. April 12. This year's
elections will differ slightly from years past as ballot measures
will be included. Vice-President Kelly McLaughlin is available
during her office hours to answer any questions regarding elections.
• Senator Jim Carson will be in the cafeteria surveying ''brown
baggers" sometime within the next two weeks. The survey
primarily deals with types of food students bring from home and
endeavors to learn if students would like some kind of system
whereby they could heat all or part of their lunches. If you're a
"brown bagger" and do not frequent the cafeteria, copies of the
survey will be available in the ASLCC office.
• Award-winning KLCC, the on-campus FM radio station,
will soon be piped into the snack bar area. Kelly McLaughlin
assured the Senate at its April 4 meeting that all arrangements
will be completed by the third week in April.
• The next ASLCC meeting will be held on Monday, April 11
in the LCC Boardroom.
