Students
to vote on

fees boost

this month,
board says

by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor

A special election at the end
of this month will determine
the fate of a proposed student
fee increase, the LCC Board
decicled at its meeting last
night.
Voting 3-1 in favor of the
proposal, which increases the
mandatory fee from its present
$1.30 amount to $3, the board
cleared the way for a student
vote on the issue. According to
procedure, a fee increase pro-

posal must be approved by the
board before being put to a
vote by the student body.
Beginning Summer Term,
the $1. 70 increase will cover a
mandatory photo identification program for new and
returning students. The increased revenue from the fee
boost will cover the increased
cost of such a program, said
Dean of Students Jack Carter.
Carter also pointed out that
if the new fee proposal passed,
it would eliminate the
dependence on vending

machine revenues for the support of the ASLCC operation.
Some $15,000 per annum is
brought in by the machines,
money which Carter proposed
could be used to offset other
student programs' dependency
on the General Fund for
budget needs.
In addition, the photo I.D.s
would be stamped with a ''bar
code'' and validation stickers
for library use, Carter said.
This coding would eliminate
the need for a separate library
card.

ASLCC Communications
Director Laura Powell, sitting
in for Pres. Paquita Garatea,
defended the increase, stating
"Inflation .. .is eating away at
the $1.30. We have to take
more and more from other
areas to keep the ASLCCsponsored programs going.''
She cited LTD student bus
pass subsidies and Legal Services costs, among others, as
two examples of programs
which require ever-increasing
budgets.

Grievances ·v oiced to committee
by Mike Sims

TORCH Associate Editor

The ASLCC Judiciary
Committee met late yesterday
afternoon to hear and weigh
evidence presented by both
factions in the controversy
surrounding last week's
1983-84 student elections.
The six-member panel,
chaired by ASLCC Treasurer
Ron Munion, was formed by
the ASLCC Senate earlier in
the week to hear grievances filed with the ASLCC Elections
Commission following the
May 3-4 elections.
After the hearing the committee went into a closed executive session to discuss
testimony. The committee
reconvenes today at 5 p.m. to
decide whether the elections

should be invalidated and
students re-polled. The committee will present its findings
to the ASLCC Senate for approval Monday, May 16.

'' ... when I heard others
had grievances, I decided
to make a complaint.''

The complainants are: Student Resource Center Director
Roger Fisher, who lost the
ASLCC presidency to Sen.
Bryan Moore by 29 votes; Cindy Weeldryer, Fisher's running mate; Sen. Larry Mann,
who placed third in the
presidential race; Ed Hulahan,
Mann's running mate;
presidential candidate Shelly
Reecher; Tony Hernandez,
Reecher' s running mate;
Treasurer-elect Cristina
Becker; Senator-elect Johnna
Harms; Ginger Fisher and
Christina Heidt.

''I submitted elections
materials to the TORCH.
.and the RegisterGuard. ''

Their grievance alleges that

a "major effort" by ASLCC
executives who supervised
elections "to influence potential voters and change the election results" took place.
''Our purpose in protesting
the election procedures is twofold,'' the complainants
stated, ". . . to gain a repolling of the student body in

a non-biased election and to

The grievance, filed with
Dean of Students Jack Carter
at 6:04 p.m. May 6, charges
that election supervisors
violated the following provisions of the ASLCC constitution:
• Article III, Section 3.0:
ASLCC Communications
Director Laura Powell did not
submit election information to
any newspaper.
• Article VI, Section 2: Election personnel were not hired
through the LCC job placement office; election personnel
campaigned for and publicly
endorsed Bryan Moore for
president and influenced
voters; blank ballots were not
locked and secured; opening
the possibility of theft; and the
Board of Tellers (ballot
counters) was not made up of
LCC students.
• Article VI, Section 3: Election personnel prevented
several candidates from encouraging fellow students to
vote.
• Article VI, Section 4:

• Former Titan runner
Ken Martin and LCC Track
Coach Harland Yriarte are
featured on page 9.

Often only one person staffed
the voting booth; ASLCC
voter's pamphlets were stuffed
with Moore/Taylor flyers and
distributed during the election
process; and polling booths
opened at 8:50 a.m. May 3 (50
minutes after the prescribed
opening time). According to
the grievance, many students
waited until around 8: 15
before leaving the area where
polls were to be set up.
• Article VI, Section 6:
There were no candidate
photographs in the voter's
pamphlet and no information
given on the seven ASLCC
ballot measures. (Editor's
note: The Senate voted May 2
not to include candidate
photos in the pamphlet.)
The grievance further states
that the alleged violations of
Article III, Section 3 and Article VI, sections 2 and 3 are
grounds for invalidation of the
election and a re-polling of the
LCC student body.

Investme nt dividend s:A penny saved is

Commentary by Mike Sims
TORCH Associate Editor

(NOTE: A related
story by Chris
Gann appears on
page JO.)
For LCC, a penny saved is truly a
penny earned.
According to Bill Mansell, assistant to
the dean of administrative services. the
college has realized earnings of over $2
million over the last two years from its
investments of surplus·college monies.
It is gratifying to know that LCC's
funds are not in idle accounts gathering
dust, but are being used in profitable
stable investments. These benefit the
College and the community at large.
For investment dividends return to
LCC's general fund and mean lower
tuition rates than might be charged
without this extra source of income,
according to Mansell.
Yet there are those within the LCC
community and, undoubtedly, other

community college districts who might
ask: Why are these surplus funds not
used to directly benefit the institution?
Why not, rather than ask the taxpayers
for more money at each election, use
this extra money to repair buildings
and upgrade salaries?
These are valid concerns indeed.
Yet, I believe that a key answer to these
questions lies in Mansell's milliondollar dividend earnings estimate, and
the subsequent result of this return on
investment funds.
Mansell's assertion that investment
dividends equal lower tuition rates indicates a direct beneficial result of
LCC's outside investments. While such
a saving to students might be construed
as minimal, I think 1 speak for most
tight-budgeted and tight-fisted scholars
when I say, simply, ''Every little bit
helps!''
And I believe that this attitude could
well be carried over to the fraternity of
property owners who annually see both
their assessed property values and taxes
rise. For Mansell also says that invest-

ment dividends mean " ... that much
less that we have to charge in. .
.(property) taxes."
In 1962 my parents paid around
$18,500 for our home. Through the
miracle of inflation, their nest among
the old orchards of River Road is today
worth over $65,000. Each increase in
assessed value over the past two
decades has meant an increase in property taxes, revenues which support
public schools and community colleges.
Such tax increases have caused Tom
and Barbie and their fell ow Lane
County property owners quite a few
headaches. These become migraines
when schools ask voters for more property tax dollars.
The last time LCC made such a request (March 29), it was turned down
by a nearly two-to-one margin -- a
most emphatic expression of fiscal
frustration by LCC district voters.
I sympathize with these naysayers.
They pay a substantial amount of their
disposable · income in property taxes,

• • •

and those property values and tax bills
keep rising each year.
However, I also think ASLCC Pres.
Paquita Garatea said it best last October when she urged LCC students to
help canvass area voters in opposition
to Ballot Measure 3.
"(The taxpayers') children are using
public education facilities such as
LCC," Garatea observed. "(They)
need to be educated to the fact that
their tax dollars are best invested in
education.''

And, expanding on Garatea's statement, I think it is well for LCC patrons
to be aware that the college is helping
to keep property tax rates down
through its investment of surplus college monies.
While any resulting decrease in taxes
might be slight, these investments
represent efforts by the college to obtain the most returns on tuition and tax
dollars while benefitting the community's economy as a whole. In this case,
LCC is truly "Part of the Solution."

Funds for training
Sexual
prefere nee not a To the Editor:
Recently I attended an
civil rights issue ASLCC
senate meeting and
To the Editor:

The homosexual activist
lobby is distorting their cause
by comparing their efforts to
those of the civil rights campaigns of the early 60s. Their
cause doesn't even come close
in characteristics to those of
racial minorities.
For one thing, homosexual
practices aren't a factor determined by genetics. One is not
born homosexual in the same
way we are born either male or
female or black or white. It's
their choice to practice such a
lifestyle.
Why is someone any more
entitled to special civil rights
protection for practicing a devi ant lifestyle such as
homosexuality any more than
someone who has a preference
for animals (zoophilia)? Both
are considered immoral by the
majority of people. I see little
difference between the two
preferences in degree of abn or mali t y yet the same
rhetoric employed to rationlize
on (homosexuality) could easily be used to justify the other
(zoophilia).
Many groups would like
society to accept (and even approve) every practice and not
judge anything as wrong. But
just how desirable would such
a society with no moral standards (amorality) be to live in,
much less bring your children
up in?
Edward R. White

was upset by what took place.
The actions that I saw in that
meeting were not of a student
body government but of an
unorganized group of people
who were playing games with
our student government. I
have seen better run student
governments in high schools
and other colleges. One of
the actions that occurred during this senate meeting that
upset me was the rejection of a
student's request of $100 from
the ASLCC club promotions
fund, the legitimate denial of
this request, as only $100 was
left in the fund and several
other clubs had not requested
any of these funds. After this
action the ASLCC senate then
passed a resolution that would
allocate $100 for the ASLCC
senate to take themselves to
Heceta Head for a recreational
weekend. My question to the
ASLCC senate is why use student funds and taxpayers
money to have a party just for
the members of the senate?
This money allocated could
have fulfilled the student's request for funds or could have
been used for all LCC students
to have a~ end of school year
picnic with many different activities going on. This to me
would be for the students and
not just for a handful of people in student government.
I've been told that the
reason for this recreational
trip is to train the incoming
student government. I feel as a
taxpayer and LCC student
that any training of the new
student government should be

done here at LCC where the
problems are and not at
Heceta Head, unless each person involved pays their own
way. I have also learned that
more student funds have been
allocated to hire someone
from food services to do the
cooking for them. . .Where
will these funds come from?
Will the student government
draw from student funds
again? I ask the student
government, as a taxpayer and
student, ''How much is this
recreational outing going to
cost me?"
I see the above handling of
the student funds as a waste of
student and taxpayers money!
I feel, as a student, the funds
could be better used for
"STUDENT NEEDS AND
FUNCTIONS" not for
"Student Government PARTIES AND DESIRES." It's
_ our money and I feel it should
be spent on us as students, to
improve our college and better
prepare us for the working
world.
Richard J. Weaver
Criminal Justice Major

Students have the
right to be heard
To the Editor:

I am writing to express my
views of LCC's Student
Government. I attended a
meeting and was shocked to
see the children we have
representing us.
In this meeting, the ASLCC
members acted as if they were
grade school students. . . I
observed making jokes and
playing most of the time. I only heard a few important views
expressed and these views were

passed by so fast as if they
were not important.
I also was very angry when
comments from the gallery
were requested. When I suggested the student government
spend more time and money
with "student concerns" they
got very hostile towards me ...
I was under the impression the
student government was paid
from student funds to listen to
the students' comments and
evaluate the problems putting
them in priorities from ''need
to investigate" to "direct action'' and pass the concerns to
staff members that could help.
I was also amazed to find
out that only 800 of 30,000
students voted. This is less
than two percent. I feel ,this
percentage could be raised to
at least 25 percent, if not
more, if all students were informed and allowed to vote.
LCC has only one voting
booth, on the main campus in
the Center Building. I ask you,
what about the students in the
other centers and the students
in specialized programs that
do not allow the student time
in the center building ... Most
of these students are not exposed to the elections.
I see the voting to be more
actual if every building in each
center have a voting booth.
Many other schools do this
and have students volunteering to man the booths. This
would increase the voter turnout and causing a more accurate count of votes. To
eliminate students from voting
twice their ID card can be punched saying "I've voted."
All I'm asking for is the
students of LCC to understand their rights and enforce
these rights. We, as students
paying for the student government, have the right to have

our voices heard and not taken
lightly! I ask you to speak out!
K. Williford
LCC Student
(Editor's note: Only about 7500 LCC students were
eligible to vote in the recent election, according to
Dean of Students Jack Carter, and not 30,0QO as
Williford claims. The voter turnout was roughly
10.6 percent.)

President-ele ct Moore examrnes election politics and his new job
by Bryan Moore

ASLCC President-elect

I would like to take this op- WMMWKWP''
portunity to express my deep
appreciation in being elected
President of the ASLCC. I am
looking forward to serving
students at Lane and having a
very productive year.
It is saddening to see the unattractive aspects of
politics emerge even on a small level such as Lane.
Poor judgment has been used in many of the candidates campaigns including my own. Some candidates have almost spent more time being more
concerned with the character of their opponents
instead of their own ... It is in this area that I feel I
have maintained my honesty and integrity. During
my campaign, I have continued to stay focused on
who I am as a person and what my goals and visions are for the upcoming year. This will continue
•
to be a priority.
In the last issue of the TORCH, extensive
coverage was given to the charges contesting the
election, much more so than the election itself.
I'm disappointed in the TORCH's approach to
this matter. Giving extensive coverage to charges
without response and rebuttal is not presenting an
objective overview while also creating an
atomosphere of sensationalism. I would like to
respond to these charges:
1) ASLCC Bylaws violated due to no candidates
photos were in voters' pamphlets. First of all, it is

Budget article
misunderstood
To the Editor:

I'm afraid I must apologize
for my exuberance -- it seems
there has been some
misunderstanding as to the
purpose of my budget article.
First: "We the People"
gave the Board "the privilege"
of changing their own bylaws
(little did we suspect);
therefore the desperate
measure to which I referred to
was just a ''technicality.''
Second: I was approached
and asked which I preferred, a
tuition increase (the serial levy
failed), or programs cuts (I felt
the roof caving in!). This was
like asking if I preferred
syphilis or gonorrhea;
somehow it just didn't solve
my problem. However, if this
institution were willing to pay
me five figures, I might be
willing t"o take a second look -- •
but to second guess these
''GIANTS''
economic
(especially on my salary).
What happened to planning
for a rainy day? I know it
always rains in Oregon, but
it's about time these public
servants restructured their
"RUSTY" abilities and tied
up all those "Loose Ends."
AND LAST BUT NOT
LEAST: I didn't mean to insinuate that anyone should
take a "pay cut." I see no
reason why those officials on
the Board or even those people
in those nice second floor offices should be worried;
anyway, I don't think the size
of their bank accounts is
anyone's business (it's not
covered in the "Freedom of
Information Act"). Besides,
even if they volunteer to return
some of their pay, how could

not stated anywhere in the bylaws. Secondly, the
ASLCC voted not to have pictures in the voters'
pamphlet because it was going to cost an additional $400 to have quality pictures printed. Since
the TORCH did such good coverage of the candidates in their campaign issue which included
candidate photos, the Senate felt it was better to
save the money.
2) Candidates' names not being rotated is a violation of bylaws. Once again, this is not stated
anywhere in the bylaws and has not been practiced
in the past. This can be a positive suggestion for
next year's ASLCC in evaluating election
guidelines. It is unfortunate that this could not
have been presented in a more positive constructive approach. As far as the no ''Please turn
over,'' issue, election workers were informed to
tell voters about ballot measures. This was carried
out.
3) All election workers campaigned for Moore. It
saddens me that someone would lower himself to
make such an ungrounded false assumption as
this.
4) Voters' pamphlets were not given to Mann.
Over a thousand pamphlets were brought down to
the cafeteria next to candidate tables. There 15
feet from Mann's table unquestionably in plain
view. A small stack was even placed on his table.
What's the problem?
From the time that this was written, more
issues, created in this air of sensationalism, will
have to be addressed. I doubt very much that any
of these charges would have had any affect on the

the people who run "Direct
Deposit" take the money
back?
And heaven forbid, one of
them should break an arm trying to get "A hand out"
before they ripped the silver
linings out of their pockets.
Well, I guess I'm just trying
to thank all those bureaucrats
for such a liberal education (at
such an expense).
I hope there's a lesson for
everyone here. After all, itsn 't
that what school's all about?
Teaching us a lesson!
Richard Gold
(Editor 's note: Mr. Gold's letters of the past two
weeks have implied that LCC Board of Education
positions are paid. This is not the case. Board
members are elected and serve four-year, voluntary
terms.)

Election uproar

tempered by
record turnout
To the Editor:

We are just students in an
institution, learning the rules
to survive in this world. Unfortunately, we did not apprehend the lessons of history
and political elections, which
are always accompanied by
cries of protest from unhappy,
dejected, un-elected candidates. Yes, we made simple,
amateur mistakes in holding a
student body election, but the
process was conducted with
advice from and approved by
our advisor.
No deviation from normal
LCC elections procedure was
made, unless you want to
count the largest voter turnout
in LCC's history. In setting
another election precedent, the
1982-83 ASLCC included
seven informational measures
on the ballot so that student
voice on these issues could be
heard .

We have done our best to
-serve the students and their
concerns this year. Bryan
Moore, who was elected as
ASLCC President for 1983-84
in a fair, democratic process
will also serve you, the
students, as you are his priority.
Paquita L. Garatea

F

outcome of the election. I am now approaching
this situation as a growing experience, and that •
myself and others can gain valuable insight for the
upcoming year, especially in improving election
guidelines and procedures.
At this point, I am making a shift in moving
forward toward the future. The 1983-84 school
year is going to be challenging for all people at
Lane. A tuition hike was recently approved by the
Board of Education. While personally not supporting a raise in tuition, I sincerely believe that the
administration was looking out for the welfare of
LCC in making its decision.
Over the past year there have been many program cuts. Since students will carry the financial
repsonsibility of the budget crisis, we must be firm
against program cuts by working cooperatively
with staff and administration in trying to build a
stronger commitment to the quality programs.
Next year's ASLCC will be committed to student financial needs. This will come about by expanded services provided through the Student
Resource Center located on the second floor of the
Center Building ... We will (also) carry on the excellent work initiated this year to develop subsidized child care for parents who are going to school
and need affordable childcare.
I am looking forward to a creative and productive year during '83-84 . . . I am very grateful to
have been democratically elected president of the
ASLCC. Thank you to all the people who have
given me unlimited support throughout this election process. You all know who you are.

that a blurb which appeared right here under
the Warm Fuzzy Banner was misleading, if not
outright misrepresentative. . .it concerned the
John L. Sullivan 96-round fight. . .the fight did
indeed, as I stated, go 96 rounds, and Sullivan
did indeed consume a gallon of whiskey during
the course of the fight -- however , a round in
1898 was not the same as a round nowadays.
When Sullivan fought, the rules formulated by
Sir John Sholto Douglas, better known as the
Marquis of Queensberry, hadn't yet been
adopted in the American boxing circles. .
. Queensberry rules call for the familiar three
minute round, gloves to replace bare knuckles ,
and a ten second count for a knockout ..
.Sullivan fought under less formal rules, a
system known as "come-to-scratch" -- the
length of rounds was indeterminate , going until
one fighter was knocked down . The down
fighter then had thirty seconds to
"come-to-scratch," literally to get up and come
to a line scratched in the dust, and be ready to
fight again . The fight ended when one man
was unable to come-to-scratch. Thus an ORening round might last half an hour until BOOM!
somebody got decked . . .after the thirty second count, if the fighter could get up but was
still wobbly, he had only to come-to-scratch ,

ADOPTION: Four children. • •

by Chris Gann

TORCH Staff Writer

It was June 18, 1963. A Thursday.
The young mother sat in a wheelchair
cradling three-day-.old Sharon Johnson
snugly in her arms. The grandmother
slo wly pushed them down the California hospital corridor. At the end of the
hall, they met Sharon's adoptive
mother.
In an unrehearsed ritual her teenage
mother handed Sharon to her grandmother. Then the grandmother gently
placed the infant in her new, adoptive
mother's arms. "So it wasn't like she
(her birth mother) actually handed me
over herself, " Sharon says, reflecting
on the story she was told.
Johnson, now 19, is an LCC
Graphic Design major. Sharon's adoptive parents never hid from her the fact
that she was adopted. So she would be
comfortable as an adoptee, they told
her the story about the hospital exchange and other particulars of her
adoption. But not all of them.

that her birth parents were alive.
Mrs. Johnson explained to her
daughter that before the adoption she
had several miscarriages. Mrs.
Johnson's physician suggested that the
Johnsons adopt a baby. In fact, the
doctor knew of a pregnant teenage girl
who wanted to give up her baby for
adoption. The Johnsons agreed, and
the doctor made the arrangements for
a private adoption.
Sharon's adoptive parents divorced
when she was about four. Then her
father died when she was nine. Since
her divorce Mrs. Johnson has supported and reared Sharon on her own,
working as a salesperson. Sharon's admiration for her mother shows when
she says, "My mom's a great salesperson, she can sell anything. "

Sharon doesn't think being adopted
is the melodramatic trauma television
and movie scripts often make it out to
be. "I've always told people, I never
made a big deal out of it," she says
with a shrug.
And she says she just isn't interested
in finding her birth parents, although
she is somewhat curious. "I've always

Waldstein, a 77-year old
adopted child.
One spring morning 77
years ago, someone left a
basket surreptitiously at the
entrance of a Catholic church
in St. Paul, Minn. Marion, a
tiny baby about three months
old, was wrapped in a blanket
inside the basket.
She was later adopted by a
childless couple who gave her

'cause so many people have said I look
like a relative, or someone they know ..
.and people who look like each other
amaze me."
In spite of her own curiosity, she
wonders why an adopted child would
ever want to "open all of that up" and
search for birth parents.
Two years ago, however, this adamant feeling was severly challenged.
For most of her life Sharon didn't
believe there was anyone to search for.
''My mom (had) told me that my
(birth) parents were killed in a car accident when I was nine months old.''
But one evening as Sharon and her
mother sat talking in a New York state
campground Mrs. Johnson told
Sharon everything about the adoption.
''My mother said they (her birth
parents) were actually alive . . . . My
stomach dropped. That .changed it -like I was actually adopted, I actually
came from 'somewhere else.' "
Mrs. Johnson explains that when she
and her husband adopted Sharon they
made a promise to each other not to
tell the girl her birth parents were alive.
They believed this secret would protect
Sharon, and their relationship with

their last name, but never hid
from her the fact that she was
an adopted child. ''My parents
were always good to me-:
When I decided to search for
my birth parents, they gave me
a lot of support,'' she
remembers with a flash of joy
illuminating her aged skin.
''The fact that I was
adopted didn't seem to
adversely affect my life,'' she
says at first. "Well, I rarely
told anybody that I was
adopted," she says, stopping
abruptly to dig through old
emotions. "I don't know
why," she adds, lowering her
voice as if she had for the first
time questioned herself.
The year 1926 was passing
by. The world was blooming
with drastic changes. Traditional values were being
uprooted by new ethics.
However, Marion's attention
was not centered on world affairs, but on knowing
something about those people
who had brought her into life
but then disapppeared forever.
She was in her twenties
when she went back to the
church. ''It was like looking
for a needle in a haystack. I
went through the records and
papers without avail. I found
both nice and unpleasant people, some were ready to help,
others didn't care too much. It
helped that my (adoptive)
father was with me. I knew
from the beginning that we
would have little chance of
success. However, I felt good

her. "It was our insecurity that did it
really, " Mrs. Johnson now admits of
the decision made 19 years ago.
But the close, stable relationship
Sharon and her mother share prompted Mrs. Johnson to tell the truth
about her adopted daughter's birth
family. '' I felt (Sharon) had a right to
her own life, (and by telling her) she
would be able to make her own decisions." Mrs. Johnson has told Sharon
not only that her birth parents are living, but also their surname. And she's
told Sharon that the attorney who
finalized the adoption said Sharon's
birth parents were married and had
another child.
Sharon says her childhoo_d belief
that her birth parents were dead may
have made being adopted easier for her
emotionally. "It wasn't a big trauma,
like there was someone out there
waiting for me.''
And now, as an adult, Sharon has
empathy for the young woman who
gave her up. ''The thought of handing
over a kid. . . " she shakes her head,

Marion believes that to
wonder about one's roots is a
natural question and a fundamental right. She warns,
however, that it can create
problems with· the adopted
parents. The situation should
be handled carefully.

The young woman was a
prostitute and a drunk. She
lived in a hotel in Portland.
And on a very cold day in
1957, she left her one-month
old baby girl with a sitter.
Soon after the mother left, the
sitter followed suit, leaving the
helpless baby alone in the
hotel room.
The hotel residents,
bothered all day with a baby
crying, called welfare officials
who took the baby to a foster
home.
This is the story of a now-28
year old housewife and mother
of two.
Cheryl was adopted by Ed
and Betty Lott, who could not
have children of their own.
They decided to adopt Cheryl
when she was 17 months old.
Ed was a millwright at
Weyerhaeuser in Springfield,
and Betty was a full-time
housewife.
Cheryl's new set of parents
were killed in a plane crash at
Gilchrist in June of 1960.
So the parents of Cheryl's

Her father has visited her in

times from Los Angeles. "I'm

much love radiate from
somewhere all my life when I
got to know them.''
She says she regrets that the
parent-child relationship is not
there, because ''there is a lot
to make up for growing up 27
years without them. They are
just good friends to me."
She isn't angry. "If there is
anyone who understands why
the (birthparents) gave me up
for adoption, it is me. My
mother could not take care of
me. She had a heart problem
and she had to work to survive
and she had a heart operation,
too. And my father had been
shipped out of the country
because he was in the service."
One thing still bothers her.
She wonders about her sister

mother had her by another

"I don't want her to go
through years of wishing and
wondering why she was given

and four different stories

TORCH Staff Writer

"Birth mothers aren't
heartless, disreputable people
for giving up their children, "
says Debbie Schuldt.
"Birth mothers are professionals, housewives, students
-- and the list could go on. It
could be your best friend or
the neighbor next door, " she
says, sitting at a large oak kitchen table in her Junction City
home.
Debbie gave birth to a baby
girl 15 years ago in California.
She gave up the infant through
adoption. And she thinks she's
still a good person.
"Both my parents were
school teachers in a town of
12,000. In that day you didn't
get pregnant and have a child
(if you're not married). . .
especially . . . if you're the
daughter of a school teacher,''
she says. Her parents felt
strongly that if she were to
marry at the age of 17 it would
ruin three young lives.
Fifteen years - ago Debbie
knitted her daughter a white
afghan blanket which was sent
along with the infant when the
adopted parents accepted Debbie's baby. "She couldn't have
me to keep her warm so I
made her the afghan. I knew it
would be an identifying link
someday if the parents had
kept it,'' she says.
Years later the need to know
if her daughter was dead or
alive prompted Debbie to
begin a search. She found her
daughter, but she had to
search the hard way and it
took seven months.
The Child and the Blanket

Debbie's search began in
March of 1982. She started
with a letter of inquiry to the
agency which handled her
daughter's adoption. The
agency sent her copy of the
original relinquishment of her
daughter, and vague information about her daughter's
adoptive parents. It wasn't
much, but it was a place to
start.
The state of California is
currently using a registry
system of matching adoptees
and natural parents. Debbie
tried using the registry, but
since her daughter was under
18, her request was put in a
holding file until the child
reached legal age.
Since Debbie had the backing of her support group, she
kept up hope. "It's so emotionally draining that you start
running out of ideas and want
to give up. People in the group
give encouragement and share
fresh ideas to one another,''
she adds.
She stops talking for a second and gives her small
daughter Greta a hug and kiss
before going off to bed. Debbie smiles; remarking how
often people tell her she and

a

her little girl look alike. She
also has a 12-year old son.
''You always wonder if the
child you gave up is dead or
alive," she remarks. "I used
to have dreams of seeing her in
shopping malls with the
afghan. I used to walk up to
carriages on streets and peak
inside, hoping I might find my
baby.
Most adoption agencies and
lawyers give non-identifying
information about their past
clients which include ages,
level of education, occupation, and religion. Information like this can begin new
directions in a search.
She declines to reveal how
she did it, but she discovered
the name of the adoptive
parents. After months of corespondence with the adoption
agency, Debbie found out
where her daughter's adoptive
parents were married.
Libraries in Salem and the U
of O helped Debbie find
names, places and dates -names of doctors, lawyers,
their places of practice, and
she was able to make guesses
and connections.
Then the day came when it
all fell into place. She obtained the phone number. She
recalls that she was so excited
she couldn't cook or think of
anything else. Her husband
brought home the dinner. and a
bottle of champagne and they
celebrated her last step of a
long journey. The last piece to
the puzzle had been found.
Still, the search was not
over. Now Debbie had many
other choices to face. She
thought of writing the adoptive parents and giving them a
health background informaOr
tion for their daughter.
sending her daughter a certified letter. Or contacting her
directly.
._ More Decisions
''I consulted with a lot of
adoptees and .adoptive parents
on- the way they've made their
contacts, or the way they
would like to be contacted.
'' I based my decision on
how adoptees wanted their
mothers to contact them.''
She then decided that she
should call her daughter instead of contacting the adoptive parents first. She
feared they could take action
against Debbie, or take the girl
away so there could never be
any chance of a future contact.
She called on a October
afternoon hoping to find her
daughter home from school.
But Debbie didn't want to talk
to her just yet -- simply to hear
her daughter's voice.
She placed the call personto-person and asked for a fictitious person. The phone rang
and a young girl answered.
The moment had finally
materialized -- she heard her

daughter's voice. "She sounded just like me. My mother,
sister and I all have the some
tone of voice."
She let three months pass
before she made the second
contact. "I assist a lot of
adoptees in their first ... contact. I know the fear of both
sides," she says. On Monday
Jan. 10, the day after her
daughter's fifteenth birthday,
Debbie decided to call.
Debbie asked her daughter
if she was adopted. The young
girl said, "Yes." Debbie explained to how she works with
adoptees, adoptive parents,
and natural birth parents in
adoption searches. "I explained to her about my search and
who I was trying to reach,"
she says.
"I blurted out that I was
sure I was her birth ·mother. I
kept asking her if she was
all right," she says.
The girl wanted to know
why Debbie was so sure they
were mother and daughter.
Debbie explained the searching she'd done.
Debbie described the afghan
she had made for her daughter
15 years before. And th~ girl
verified the blanket's existence.
The girl told Debbie many

things about herself -- how she
likes track in school, how she
tries to cover the freckles on

said she went through the
same thing, hiding freckles.
Debbie said she would only
come into the girl's life by invitation, and said it was up to
girl to tell her adoptive parents
-- or not. "She told me her
mother would 'freak out."'
"We talked for 16 minutes
and it was the best $10 I've
ever spent."
So, Debbie's search was
over. She has a sense of peace.
She can now get on with her
life.
Three weeks after the call,
Debbie wrote a four page letter to the girl about her family
history.
The Tough Question
But how does Debbie respond to people who criticize
her for telephoning a 15-yearold girl and announcing,
without much warning, that
she is the girl's birth mother?
"I did a very scary thing. It
was a big gamble," she
acknowledges.
The girl knew she was
adopted, Debbie says, explaining that she saved the girl from
having to search for herself.

'' I was concerned if she was
really unhappy -- or in a situation like a juvenile home or
foster home. Then I could go
reclaim her through the
courts . . . . . It's not uncommon for adoptees to end up in
an unhappy situation.'' In this
case, Debbie discovered that
the child is content.
How comfortable would
Debbie feel if someone called
her adopted child the way she
had?
"As an uninformed adoptive parent I'd feel my child
might leave me," she says.
Perhaps she'd fear the birth
parent would attempt to kidnap the child. "I'd be afraid
of who was driving past my
home.
''With all the myths and
fears it compounds itself."
"People must realize that
parents searching aren't wanting to take the child away
from the adoptive parents.
We have our own families,
and so do they. No one is going to turn their back on their
adoptive parents." she adds.
"We wish to offer ourselves
in a role of a friend rather than
a parent."

The LCC Soccer Club fell
8-2 to a determined Haines
United squad at Monroe Middle School last week in a
match that saw the Titans take
an early lead, only to be blown
away during the remainder of
the contest.
The Titans scored half of
their day's total early in the
match, but Haines took a
commanding 3-1 lead _by the
end of the first half.
Utilizing a well-executed setplay offense, the United team
then capitalized on the second
half absence of two Titans
(due to injury) and pummeled
the LCC unit's goal for five
tallies in the second stanza.
The loss brings the Titans'
season record to six losses
against no wins.

best teachers are good
learners, and he has worked
with and :for LCC students
with that in mind.''
The pair received a standing
ovation from those present
upon receiving their plaques
and thanked presenter
Charlene Curry, the board
chair. Bunnell observed that
''it might be hard to be humble after receiving this award.
But I look around me and see
the people I work with and
know that they are just as
much a part of this award.
Then, staying humble isn't as
hard."

Powell also pointed out that
the increase, coupled with a
$33 per year hike in full-time
tuition rates beginning summer term, will put students
receiving PELL Grant monies
into a higher financial bracket.
The approximately $38 .10 per
year combined total increase
will allow those students to
receive some $25 in offsetting
monies from the federal
government, said Powell.

The TORCH May 12-1S, 1983 Page 9

by Lucy Hopkins

TORCH Staff Writer

''Get your knees up ... come on ... pump those
arms," Coach Harland Yriarte shouts at the colorful
troop of men bouncing up and down on the field in
the not-so-famous high knee drill.
The team shares a common responsibility: They
are best in the league. They work well, blend well.
They're almost cliquish.
Yriarte, dressed in royal blue sweats, a white t-shirt
bearing the distinguishing logo -- Lane Community
College Track -- and an ever present baseball cap
atop his wavy black hair, continues into another
drill, the mule kick. The men follow with cheerful
fervor. These are, after all, just the warm-ups.
It is the beginning of a long practice session for the
men. Yriarte will spend great amounts of time with
his athletes, talking to them for hours in his office,
discussing race strategy, and supporting them in a
calm Rock of Gilbraltar way. He believes strongly in
mental, as well as physical, discipline. He doesn't
believe in the easy way, which is why he's a successful
coach.
"It's easy to lose when you don't work but fool
around; it's a lot harder to lose when you work
hard," he states simply.
Yriarte is familiar with hard work, as an athlete
and a coach. While at Burns High School he placed
second in the state AA track and field championships
in the discus his sophomore and junior years. As a
senior he took first place honors, launching the
discus over 165 feet. While at Southern Oregon State
College (SOSC) he competed in both track and football. He was a one-time All-American in the discus

and placed at nationals three times. He also showed
his prowess at various events by placing seventh at
nationals in the decathlon.
Yriarte taught and coached at Brookings-Harbor
High School for eight years. Now in his third year of
coaching at LCC, he says "I'm learning more all the
time.'' He knows what the team can do and he does
his best to get them to do it. They, in turn, know his
system works.
"I came (to Lane) because of Harland. . .I
wouldn't have came otherwise," says Curt Denny, a
1975 graduate of Brookings-Harbor H.S. "I also
came because I wanted to contribute to this team,''
he proclaims exuberantly.
"This is one of the best quality teams I've had,"
Yriarte admits. "They're much closer. .. a collective
bunch of totally different guys," he says with a
knowing smile. They come from different
backgrounds and have different personalities, from
the energetic Curt Denny to the quiet, unassuming
Mike Ewing.
Ewing may be quiet and unassuming but makes up
for it with hard work and determination. He and
Denny have some of the highest goals on the team.
Mike Hedlind, a 1980 Waldport graduate and state
A champion in the 400 meters, has aspirations of going to U of 0, of being recognized. "It (LCC) is a
better opportunity for me; I'll get more recognition," he smiles confidently.
He adds Yriarte has something to do with it, too.
"I think he's smart. He knows what he's doing,"
he says matter-of-factly about his coach of two years.
Hedlind reveals yet another view of the team
chemistry, as well: ''The team is like one big family -there's so many personalities and they don't clash."

His statement is evidenced by their strong support of
each other: A teammate crosses the finish line and his
buddies are there to give him whatever kind of encouragement he may need. They have a close bond
which takes shape in everything they do together,
from hanging out in the P .E. building and exchanging stories to making plans for the next competition.
This bond keeps them going when they face tough
competition. The league change from OCCAA to
NWCCAA has been good for them.
"We needed it," Yriarte says. Although the Titans
can't compete on a national level, the level of competition has gone up. Now the squad just needs to get
more aggressive, Yriarte says.
''They need to start being damn aggressive,'' he
emphasizes. "They need to set goals and go after
them.
"Nobody said that becoming successful or winning
was easy. It takes discipline."

Ex-Titan Ken Martin looks ahead
by Kevin Morris

TORCH Staff Writer

"I'm starting to get a little
tired of Eugene,'~ muses Ken
Martin, sitting under the cover
of the east grandstand as rain
drizzles onto the Hayward
field track. "I don't like all the
rain."
It sounds like the complaint
of a Jamaican sprinter,
perhaps, but certainly not the
words of a world class distance
runner. Eugene is supposed to
be a runners' paradise.
Martin, ''the kid from Coquille,'' and former Titan
standout, isn't in paradise.
He's been struggling with a
persisting calf problem for two
years, and hasn't raced this
year at all. Like an antsy.
racehorse, he's chomping at
the bit.
Back in 1980 Martin was
running like a thoroughbred.
He was a contender in every
race he ran, including the
Olympic Trials, in which he
took fourth, a scant few
seconds from making the
Olympic team.
He was fast enough to set
the school record for the
steeplechase at the University
of Oregon. He has a personal
best of 8:20, one of the fastest
American times ever.
The records show Martin
has cleared plenty of barriers
in his time. But is the Ken
Martin of 1983, as some critics
say, now a has-been? Even he
knows a runner is only as good
as his last race.
Martin's newest hurdle is
making the US team for the

Ken Martin

World Championships in
Helsinki this August, a meet
that is second only to the
Olympic Games in stature. So
in June he must prove he is
one of the three best
steeplechasers in the country
by qualifying for the team in
the TAC national championships.
Wanting His Turn

Right now Ken Martin
would be happy if he were one

Photo by Kevin Morris

of the three best in the town he
lives in. Most of the nation's
best runners reside in Eugene.
Just last weekend he planned to pace fellow steeplers Kelly Jensen and Doug Brown
through the first mile of a
steeplechase, then drop out.
He did that. But Jensen went
on to record this year's nationleading time of 8:22, with
Brown right on his tail.
Ken Martin won't be dropping out anymore. The calf pro-

blem has forced him to rearrange his schedule this spring,
and so his first real race will
come this weekend at the
Oregon Twilight Meet.
And then it's an all-out push
for nationals.
He's optimistic about his
chances to make the team.
Even though he didn't finish
the race with Jensen and
Brown, he noted that he "felt
great'' and added that it was a
real "confidence booster."
Martin, who has run for
Athletics West since his
graduation in 1980, may like
his chances to make the team,
but AW Coach and Director
Steve Brown is ''guardedly optimistic."
Brown also says Martin
looked very good last Saturday. Still, he points out, both
Jensen and Doug Brown are
very fit. And one can never
count out Henry Marsh, who
holds the American record of
8: 15 and was ranked first in
the world the last two years.
There is still a deep vein of
frustration plaguing Martin.
He says, ironically, that he's
tried everything for his leg and
nothing seems to work. ''Now
that I've given up and just let
it go, it seems to be responding
better,'' he says.
And that's giving Martin
hope that his turn is coming. It
hasn't been an easy two years
of waiting.
''Eugene is a hard place to
live when you 're not running
well. When you are, it's great.
People like you when you 're
on top.
"I've been frustrated living

here in Eugene. I don't like the
rain because it aggravates the
calf. I think I may be ready for
a change," he says.
A change for Martin might
mean moving to a sunnier
climate. He mentions
Southern California, or
Arizona, or even Australia,
where his wife, Lisa, is from.
"I just want to run well ...
and do the best I possibly can.
I've been given a special talent
and I want to make the most
of it. I won't stop running until I've got the most out of my
body that I can. I won't leave
any stone unturned."
Martin figures he's got at
least nine more years before
he's ready to retire. But this is
the year he's most concerned
with.
"I don't know why God
doesn't just let me run well,
because it's to his glory," says
Martin philosophically, ''but
I'm not bitter or mad, just
perplexed.
"Last week in church,"
adds Martin, a born-again
Christian, "the pastor talked
about perseverence, how it
may be a long hard drag, but
we should continue to put out.
It really hit home. I guess to
do well, you must be ready to
pay a price.''
Martin has paid. He's
fought through the hard times
and hopes that it's finally his
turn to run well again. He
believes his 90 miles a week,
his stretching and therapy, will
begin to pay off.
He's more than ready to
prove he's not a has-been.
He's chomping at the bit.

Page 10 May 12., 1983 The TORCH

Investments add to general fund
by Chris Gann

TORCH Staff Writer

(First of two parts)
During the 1981-82 fiscal
year LCC earned just over $1
million from investments. But
unlike colleges and universities
that have investment portfolios that include controversial South African gold Kruggerands, LCC officials invest
college funds in secure local,
state, and federal investment
programs.
Bill Mansell, assistant to the
dean of administrative services, explains that the college's "heavy investment
period" is from October to
March or April, the time when
LCC receives the bulk of its
revenue payments. College

revenues
sources:

come

from

four

• Oregon Department of
Education full-time equivalency (FTE) reimbursements -about $8 million.
• Property taxes -- about
$9.6 million.
• Tuition and fees -- about
$5.5 million.
• Miscellaneous/ cash carryover -- about $3 million.
In October the Department
of Education makes the first
of the (fiscal year) quarterly
FTE payments, reimbursing
LCC and Oregon's 12 other
community colleges a certain
amount per FTE (the number
of students it takes to make up
an aggregate 16 credit hour
load) each college serves. The
state annually reimburses LCC
for about 7700 FTE -- 1000

less than the college actually
enrolls.
During January the Lane
County Assessor's Office
begins turning over tax
payments to the college.
Each day Financial Services
sends Mansell a cash report.
This accounting shows
Mansell how much ''surplus
cash" -- cash not needed to
meet payroll, buy equipment,
or complete planned projects
-- is in LCC department accounts and available to invest.
"When it's not being spent it's
there for me to invest,''
Mansell says. He invests
surplus cash when it totals
$5,000 or more.
The state regulates how
public funds can be invested.
Mansell says that banks,
securities, and investment
resources are ''carefully

chosen for their. . .earning
power and financial stability.''
Currently college funds are invested in:
• Repurchase Agreements
(Repos) -- short range (1-15
days) security purchase/repurchase agreements from local
banks.

• Time Certificate of
Deposits (TCD) -- guaranteed
bank deposits that range from
14 days to one year "and
usually command higher interest yield than shorter range
investments," Mansell says.
• State Investment Pool -operated by the State
Treasurer's Office. State agencies pool their monies for investment purposes and receive
interest earnings on a daily
basis.
• US Treasury and Agency

Securities (Treasury Bills) -long-term, "flexible" investments. Treasury bills can
be sold before they mature
without foregoing interest or
suffering a penalty.
Mansell says investment earnings return to the general
fund and represent ''that
much less that we have to
charge in tuidon and taxes."
He says that although earnings have been over $2 million
the past two years, he doesn't
expect the high earnings to
continue. "We're still ridirig a
pretty good crest, but it will
start coming down." He
foresees lower interest rates
and a decreased investment
cash level that will lower investment earnings for the college.

Activities advisor Jay Jones
prior to the election, in which
he urged that no ASLCC officers who publicly endorsed
candidates be allowed to staff
voting booths.
Fisher's concern stemmed in
part from letters of endorsement for Moore which appeared in the April 28 issue of
the TORCH. One letter was
signed by Pres. Paquita
Garatea, Vice-Pres. and Elections Commission chair Kelly
McLaughlin and Powell. The
other was signed by Sen. Patty
Yriarte and two co-signers.
According to Fisher, Jones
said that he would keep
Garatea, McLaughlin, Powell •
and Yriarte from staffing polling booths.

McLaughlin and Yriarte
both admitted that they worked at the polling booth.
McLaughlin told the panel
that she worked to fill the
place of a pollworker who did
not show up for his shift. "If
(he) had showed up I wouldn't
have worked in the booth,''
McLaughlin stated.
McLaughlin also said that
prior to the election she,
Fisher and Jones verbally
agreed that McLaughlin would
not staff a polling table. Later
she asked Fisher if he minded
her working at the polls.
Fisher said no.
Fisher later corroborated
McLaughlin's statement, ex ..
plaining "I didn't object (to
McLaughlin's
request)

because I didn't want the polls
to be closed when I had been
urging students in the cafeteria
to vote.''
Yriarte, who was hired to
staff the polls through LCC's
work/study program, stated
that she was aware her
presence at the table could be
in violation of the election
code and the ASLCC constitution.
Fisher further stated that
when he heard McLaughlin
give Yriarte instructions on
staffing the polls, he tried to
contact Jones to protest but
Jones was unavailable.
"I didn't go directly to
(McLaughlin or Yriarte)
because I didn't think it'd do
any good,'' Fisher said in
response to a question by Sen.
Michael Sussman. "When I

first heard of the violations I
didn't complain because I
thought just one person complaining would be construed as
a 'sour grapes' type of thing,"
Fisher said. "Later when I
heard others had grievances I
decided to make a complaint."
Baldwin testified that a
stack of "several hundred"
blank ballots were left
unsecured on a desk in the
ASLCC offices with no
ASLCC officers or staff in
sight.
"These ballots were not
numbered or identified in any
way," Baldwin said. "A person with access to these blank
ballots could stuff the ballot
box."
McLaughlin countered that
Campus Security officers

observed her lock the blank
ballots away in the ASLCC office after each day's balloting.
The complainants'claim that
newspapers were not provided
election information was
answered by Powell, who
asserted that she submitted
material to the TORCH and to
the Register-Guard. She further stated that she made a
compromise with TORCH
Editor Jeff Keating relating to
the filing deadline for candidates, so that the roster of
candidates would appear in
that week's issue.
·Powell also stated that
Mann did not file his applicati p n by the prescribed,
publicized •deadline and that
she allowed him to submit it
late.
