Lane Community College Vol. 18, No. 25 May 5 - hi y 11, 1983 'The Pacesetter of Oregon College Newspapers' Moore wins by 29 by Mike Sims TORCH Associate Editor "I'm very excited and very proud of the LCC student body,'' said a happy ASL CC Sen. Bryan Moore early this morning, moments after he was proclaimed the winner of the 1983-84 ASLCC presidential election. Moore and his running mate, Sen. Kevin Taylor edged their nearest opponents, Student Resource Director Roger Fisher and Cindy Weeldryer, by a 244-215 margin. Larry Mann and Ed Hulahan collected 159 votes and the Shelly Reecher /Tony Hernandez team trailed with 77 votes. Moore happily noted the 800-plus voter turnout (according to election officials) for the two-day election -- the largest turnout in LCC history. ''This shows a very encouraging trend developing, that of more student involvement in their government," Moore said. ''This is due at LCC largely to the work of the current student government.'' Mann told the TORCH shortly after ballots were counted that he would contest the election. In explaining his decision, Mann charged that: • ASLCC election by-laws were violated in that no.space was given for candidate photos in the ASLCC voter's pamphlet and statements on ballot measures omitted from the pamphlet. • Candidate's names were not rotated on ballots, as prescribed by ASLCC bylaws. Moore's name appeared at the top of all ballots. Also, no "please turn over" instructions were given at the bottom of ballots, causing many voters to overlook ballot measures •printed on the opposite side. "This had an effect on people looking for the PE fees measure,'' said Mann, who headed an ASLCC committee looking into mandatory PE • fees. • All election workers, including those taking ballots at the polls, actively campaigned for Moore. • ASLCC voters pamphlets were not given 'to ·Mann to distribute, while ASLCC officers distributed pamphlets with Moore/Taylor flyers to voters. Several of these flyers were also inserted into copies of the TORCH and given to voters (see related editorial, page 2.) "You can't have an election sponsored by the ASLCC when they're sponsoring a candidate,'' Mann said. Powell and other ASLCC officials were unavailable for comment. In other ASLCC races, Cristina Becker was elected treasurer with a 340-232 margin over Bob Baldwin. Sen. Stephen Wysong garnered 363 votes for Cultural Director, over Tonia Edwards with 225. The 1983-84 ASLCC Senate will consist of Linda Baehr, Kristen Clark, David Cooley, Fran Harms, Johnna Johnson, Tim Lane, Michelle Miller, John Morgus and Mike Shimmels. Cooley was the only incumbent among ten candidates for nine Senate seats. Moore said that the biggest task facing his administration next year ·would be maintaining existing LCC programs and staving off any further budget cuts. "Hopefully this will be a common goal of students, staff and the administration,'' he said. Jere Van Dyk takes time to rest with Afghan rebels. See related story, page 4.

National meetings beamed to LCC dish by Cathy Benjamin TORCH Staff Writer LCC hosted its first live teleconferences last month, putting its new $9500 satellite dish to work. On April 7 a teleconference aimed at local health professionals focused on two areas of maternal and infant nutrition: Breastfeeding, and the use of alcohol, tobacco and caffeine during pregnancy. The US Department of Agriculture presented the teleconference, which was beamed from Washington, D.C. via satellite to receiving . stations all across the country. The 55 people who attended the conference in Eugene were able to watch and hear live presentations made 6y nationally known nutrition experts gathered in one place.

LCC Media Services Coordinator Jim Brock says, ''Hundreds of these conferences are presented via satellite each year. LCC's new satellite dish will make it possible for local businesses and professional groups to participate." Brock adds that ''This capability should be of interest to companies looking to relocate in Lane County.'' LCC will provide use of the satellite dish on a contractual basis, says Brock. Initially, the college will charge $200 for the first hour and $150 for each additional hour. The fee would include the use of an LCC room equipped with television monitors and a telephone for submitting questions and exchanging ideas with other participants. LCC purchased the satellite dish to improve and expand its telecourses each term. And Brock adds that the college anticpates teleconferencing will help offset the cost of the dish. • Women can compete off-season on LCC's intramural basketball teams. Details, page 6. Page 2 The TORCH May 5-•, 1983 Free For All Politics tempered with good sense Recent events centered on the 1983 ASLCC elections have caused a great deal of concern to ASLCC officers, candidates, and the TORCH. These events underscore a problem which crops up each time an election is held, whether at the national, state or local level. In their eagerness to win, candidates for public office and their supporters often make errors in judgement which can have unfortunate repercussions for their campaigns and for the process. On Friday, April 28 ASLCC Communications Director Laura Powell inserted an undetermined number of presidential campaign flyers for Bryan Moore and Kevin Taylor in the previous day's issue of the TORCH. Powell then distributed paper and flyer to passersby in the Center Building cafeteria. Somehow, according to TORCH Distribution Manager Tim Olson, several copies of the TORCH -- containing the Moore-Taylor flyer -appeared on the TORCH stand near the LTD bus stop. Oregon election laws require that all campaign advertising carry a statement saying that the material was ''Paid for by The Committee to Elect (You-know-who).'' The Moore-Taylor flyers contained no such disclaimer, and the presence of the flyer in the -Letters LTD supports ad campc;:,ign To the Editor: I am writing in response the the "More Buses, Less Advertising'' letter to the editor by Richard Gold in the April 7-13, 1983 edition of the TORCH ~ Lane Transit is certainly aware of the need for excellent bus service to Lane Community College, as it is an important destination in our transit system. Over 2, 725 trips are made by bus each day to and from LCC. Mr. Gold's letter did not mention if he is traveling from Springfield or Eugene to LCC. From Springfield, there are 3 buses an hour to LCC during the day. Two travel from Ashlane (LCC student housing) through downtown Springfield to LCC. The third leaves Springfield to LCC just prior to the other buses travel four times an hour to LCC, providing excellent service. To provide additional service at this time would be very expensive. To run a bus just eight hours a day throughout the school term would co~t almost $9,000! Given the tight budget situation, LTD cannot expand its service to LCC. However, LTD can seek additional riders, which will bring in more revenue, which will allow more money to provide additional bus service. paper could have been construed as TORCH endorsement of Moore's and Taylor's campaign for the ASLCC executive positions. The TORCH has a long-standing policy of not endorsing candidates for ASLCC offices, and considers Powell's action irresponsible. Powell has admitted that her insertion of the Moore-Taylor flyers was an error in judgement and expressed deep regret over the affair. She has also explained that the act was her angry, frustrated reaction to an April 28 TORCH article by Dale Sinner which explained the mandatory PE fees ballot measure on the ASLCC general election ballot. The measure was prompted by the work of an ASLCC committee headed by presidential can- . didate Larry Mann. The fact that Mann was an ASLCC presidential candidate was not mentioned in the Sinner article. However, Powell stated that she felt the article showed TORCH favoritism toward Mann's campaign. curred at all, and that it is a microcosm of a rather disturbing situation, that concerns the TORCH. When personal idiosyncrasies become such a large focus of a political campaign, whether it be on a college campus or within a legislative district, the resulting personality clashes become a large brush which tars the political process and those who participate in it. These consequences are felt long after the ballots are counted and the winners announced. As a consequence of this affair the TORCH is considering billing one or more of the involved parties for insertion of an as-yet undetermined number of flyers, at TORCH student advertising rates. This action by the TORCH would be a gesture symbolic of our stern disapproval of Powell's action. Powell and other ASLCC executives signed a ''letter to the editor'' endorsing Moore and Taylor which appeared in the same issue of the TORCH. Although the TORCH acknowledges that Student Activities Director Jay Jones has indicated that a "no TORCH insertion without payment" policy will be instituted before the 1984 ASLCC elections, we feel that this year's difficulties could have been avoided had sound reason been exercised. This event, in and of itself, is insignificant. A limited· number of flyers-in-TORCHes reached LCC students and had, at best, minimal effect on the campaign. It is the fact that this incident oc- We hope that all parties concerned have learned a valuable lesson from the events of the last seven days: Political gain cannot be acquired at the expense of plain common sense. Encouraging people to ride the bus by advertising is one method of increasing ridership. And, incidentally, only $250 was spent to advertise the term pass to LCC students, and sales of passes and ridership is up! It makes sense that the small amount of money spent on advertising is not enough to put a bus on the road, but it will increase ridership. More riders means more revenue and eventually more bus service where needed. LTD staff would be happy to speak with anyone concerning our service or advertising.

"Read?" ''Oh, sorry. I take it, then, that you are a product of our nation's public education system?'' "Yeah, I guess so. I'm a senior at Millard Fillmore High.'' "That's a shame. I was just reading (no offense) in my newspaper that a prestigious commission appointed by the US Department of Education is ready to write off the entire system.'' "Write?" "Yes, that too. They say that 'a rising tide of mediocrity' in public education is threatening to destroy our way of life.'' ''Just what I was saying to the guys down at the Darth Vader Video Arcade.'' "But the commission has a solution. What would you say to longer school tlays and more homework?" "Yuck." "Don't worry. Our president, Mr. Reagan, also has another solution to the problem." "Shorter days and less homework?" ''No, in order to help you learn to read and write, he's trying to abolish the US Department of Education." "Yeah, that sounds good, too.'' "He wants to get the government off your back." "Hey, you wouldn't believe how tough it is to read and write with a government on your back. What's stopping him?" "It's not easy. Secretary of Education T.H. Bell has been working on dismantling the department for two years. Last year he asked for a $10 billion budget and Congress gave him $15 billion. This year he caved in and upped his request to $13.4 billion. They'll probably give him twenty.'' "They can't teach me to read and write by throwing money at me." "Exactly. So poor Mr. Bell has to wander through his department crying, 'Work slower! More coffee breaks!' But you know those bureaucrats; once they get started there's no stopping them." ''Does that mean I'll never get to learn how to read and write?" "Take heart, young man. Abolishing the Department of Education to improve your education is only one of the idealistic goals Mr. Reagan is pursuing. He says he will also continue to work for tuition tax credits and educational savings accounts. This will save your parents a bundle when you enter Harvard, particularly if they're in the 50 percent bracket." "I'm thinking of not going to college.'' "Failing grades?" ''No, a failing hook shot. FACES on FILE • On The Wir e Compiled by Mike Sims JimKeizur from Associated Press reports House passes nuke freeze resolution LCC Data Processing Director Jim Keizur has been riamed head football coach at Pleasant Hill High School. Keizur, a member of the LCC faculty since 1970, has been an assistant coach at Churchill High School in EugeQe for 11 years. •Under ~eizur's guidance, the Churchill frosh team claimed three District SAAA titles in five years and boasted an undefeated season. WASHINGTON -- The House of Representatives yesterday passed its resolu- tion calling for a nuclear freeze with the Soviet Union. But the approval, by a 278-179 vote, came after the lower chamber of Congress dealt a major setback to freeze advocates. In earlier voting, lawmakers linked such a freeze to a reduction in current Soviet and US arms strength. Rep. Tony Coehlo (D-Calif.) says that the amendment "takes the guts out" the non-binding freeze resolution. Republicans -- who worked to weaken the resolution - had pointed to a new arms proposal by Soviet leader Yuri Andropov, who offered to balance Soviet and NATO forces by counting warheads and not just missiles. House GOP leaders said that Andropov's offer shows that the US needs more flexibility at the arms talks. "I felt this was a unique opportunity to strike off... on my own," Keizur said of his PHHS appointment. "I just have a want or need to take an increasing responsibility in the coaching area." Keizur also says that his LCC job schedule is flexible enough to allow him to coach. Keizur is a graduate of Umatilla High School and holds an MS degree in mathematics from Oregon State University. He is married and has two sons. Uncle Sam aiding Nicaraguan rebels; Afghans receive little US support WASHINGTON -- President Reagan yesterday gave his most direct acknowlegement of covert American aid to Nicaraguan rebels, whom he hailed as "freedom fighters." Reagan told reporters he wouldn't mind ·openly aiding guerillas fighting the Sandinista government so long as there were no restrictions on such assistance. He says that the Sandinistas haven't kept promises to promote democracy and free elections. Meanwhile, an Afghan rebel leader says that guerillas have received no major weapons supplies from the US. Abdul Ramin was asked at a news conference about reports that the US had increased covert aid to Afghan guerillas fighting the Soviet Army. The State Department won't comment but says that the US remains opposed to Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. House pa~el approves new taxes SALEM -- The Oregon House Revenue Committee approved measures May 4 which would continue an eight percent income tax surcharge and a ten cent-perpack cigarette tax boost for another two years. The 5-4 votes on each measure went along straight party lines, with committee Republicans voting against the measures. Extending all tax increases currently before the committee would raise an estimated $388 million dollars toward balancing Oregon's 1983-85 budget. Honors for Beatles at issue back home LIVERPOOL, England -- What to do about the Beatles is still a big issue·in this, their home city -- even though the rock band split up in 1970. There were fights before the city would erect statues to or name streets for the Beatles. Now, the issue is whether to name the three surviving ex-Beatles "Freemen of Liverpool." One city councilor, Rosemary Cooper approves of such an honor, saying that the city has become famous worldwide because of the Fab Four. But a colleague, Eddie Roderick, opposes the idea. "(The Beatles) set a bad example for youth," he says. -· ~-T-~ ·--II I I I I PHOTO FINISHING Films in before 10 ~.m.

Page 4 The TORCH May 5- ,l983 lere Van Dy_k tells of Afghan ody_ssey___ Series by Andrew Hanhardt _Photos by Jere Van Dyk (First in a series) Jere Van Dyk, speaking May 2 to University of Oregon political science students, told of courage, adventure, and other topics which only those who have been in similar situations could identify with. In October 1981 Jere Van Dyk, one-time UO track star, traveled with Afghan rebels fighting the occupying Soviet Army. Van Dyk was in Afghanistan for several, very different reasons. Many years ago he and his brother had traveled from Europe east towards Asia, "following the hippie trail.'' During the travel eastward they went through a wonderful country where he found beautiful people and beautiful places: "A place where at one time a person could break off a hunk of hashish to pay for a taxi ride," Van Dyk remembered. When he heard of the Soviet invasion in December 1979, Van Dyk began to think of what his beautiful country had become under Soviet occupation. He told the TORCH that he then began comparing himself to an early Ernest Hemingway -- expecting adventure and a sense of romanticism. Then reality hit: He found nothing romantic about it. Early in his Afghan adventure, Van Dyk was faced with the first of many ''tests'' that would face him. His first night out he and his guide were traveling along a riverbed his guide stopped him and told him to put on sandals instead of the boots he was wearing because he was making too much noise. Later, the party stopped again. Van Dyk was instructed to remove his sandals -- still, too noisy -and walk barefoot. Halfway up the next hill Van Dyk stopped and shouted at the guide that he could take no more. The guide turned to him and, lowering his rifle, held it for a moment while looking at Van Dyk. The guide then slung the weapon over his other shoulder and a still unshod Van Dyk walked on with his party. Part II of the series will focus on Van Dyk 's personal feelings and reflections from his sojurn through Soviet-occupied Afghanistan.

Games are played Tuesday and Thursday from 3 to 4 p.m. in the PE Building gymnasiums. Games are scheduled on a "round-robin" basis with each team playing each other team three times during the regular season. Competition began April 19 and involves four teams of eight to ten players -- many of whom are LCC varsity basketball players. ''This league provides an opportunity for those who've never (played competitive basketball) to play with some talented women,'' says intramurals coordinator Mitch Allara. "I'm very impressed by the standard of play,'' Allara says of the program. ''(The women) run plays, set pies, shoot baskets from outside and both the ball and the players are constantly moving." Allara says that individual and team statistics are kept and posted in the intramurals office. Games are played under modified National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rules. There is no 30-second clock and back-court guarding is not allowed. Violation of this rule constitutes a personal foul. Participation in the league is open to LCC students and staff members.
