Complaints go to LCC committee
by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor

Although the ASLCC
Judiciary Committee last week
ruled that only two of ten
bylaws were violated in the
May 3 and 4 student elections,
two parties are keeping the
issue alive by putting their collective case before LCC's
Grievance Committee.
Former ASLCC Treasurer
candidate Bob Baldwin Tuesday conferred with Employee
Relations Director Hank
Douda to confirm that
Baldwin's complaint regarding
the election miscues would be
reviewed in a Grievance Committee session. Douda serves
in a moderator's role for the
committee and is not a part of
its voting process.
The Grievance Committee,
made up of instructors, staff
and students, reviews formal
complaints made by LCC
students or workers on a wide
range of issues and recommends a course of action to
the college president. The

Grievance panel will review
complaints from Baldwin, Mann
president, in turn, acts on the
recommendation.
The committeee's next session, with time and place yet
to be determined, will address
in addition to Baldwin's complaint a similar grievance filed
by a group of students led by
Larry Mann.
Mann is a former ASLCC
presidential candidate and an
outgoing 1982-83 ASLCC
senator.
''This issue is not over,''
Baldwin stated Tuesday. "We
(Mann's group and himself)
feel that the Judiciary Committee's decision was a joke."
Baldwin's complaint centers
on the actions of select
members of the current student government. He claims
that a fair election was not
held since those ASLCC officers who openly endorsed

presidential candidate Bryan
Moore were a part of the election process.
He also claimed that a
judiciary committee appointed
by the ASLCC to examine
allegations against the ASLCC
is self-defeating. Since the
ASLCC is a group which
regulates its own mistakes, he
said, the entire post-election
judicial procedures followed
by the ASLCC in response to
complaints were meaningless.
"It's ironic, really, that the
first group you go to after
something like this ... caused
the problem in the first
place," Baldwin said. "Even
if they violated only some of
the bylaws, the rules are the
rules. And in something like
this, you have to play by
them.''
Douda said that he would

try to call a committee meeting
"as soon as is possible," and
emphasized that both sides
would have equal chances to
make their complaints and
defenses clear at the Grievance
Committee meeting.
"It is important that both
sides get to say their piece,'' he
said. "The complaining parties and the witnesses they call
must all recognize that the
committee needs strong examples and definite information from both sides."
And, he added, although
the committee witnesses a
fractured hearing almost every
time a complaint is brought to
them, ''they rarely give a fractured decision.''
Baldwin expressed concern
over the time element with
regard to the complaint orocedure. He noted that a deci-

sion to file suit against the
voting results must be. made
within 40 days of the election.
Baldwin says he has engaged
the services of Eugene attorney Daniel Gordon to take
the issue to court should the
committee decide a new election is unnecessary.
Baldwin also noted the importance of immediate committee action on the election
controversy. "If, in successive
years, violations like these occur, a lack of inaction on the
college's part now will set a
bad precedent," he claimed.
"Student governments will
take the college's inaction to
mean that it condones their
behavior."
Douda refuted Baldwin's
claim, saying "I doubt the college would ever condone election violations of any kind.''
The Grievance Committee
sessions are open to the public
during testimony by witnesses.
The committee then goes into
closed executive session to formulate a recommendation.

l <nf3'· The TORCH

Free For All

Editors respon d to critica l letter

We're not often compelled to respond to complaints readers make about the TORCH. As a rule,
and like any newspaper, we roll with the·punches: If
we make a mistake and are called on it, we do our
level best to correct it. And when we feel we're unjustly criticized, well, people are entitled to their opinions. Either way, we rarely feel complaints merit
editorial response.
One of this week's letters, however, forces us to
temporarily forget that rule of thumb. Lonn
Welchman' s letter, "Reader criticizes
'sensationalism' in TORCH" (page 3) points up
some interesting issues regarding the TORCH's role
in LCC affairs and the role of newspapers in general
with regard to serving their readers. Welchman's
claims, and our responses:
• Using "the TORCH's one-sided sensationalizing
of the recent elections" as an introduction,
Welchman claims that the headline over the lead
story on last week's front page ('Commission Rules
Bylaws Violated') "is very misleading." Welchman
goes on to say that eight of the ten bylaws were not
violated, implying that the lack of violations is where
the news is.
First, the headline is not misleading: The ASLCC
Judiciary Committee did, in fact, rule that bylaws
had been violated. The headline states a fact. As to
where the news value of the story lies, that's open to

debate. Which headline will draw a reader's attention
to a story more: ''Commission Rules Bylaws
Violated" or "Most Bylaws Intact, Commission
Rules"? Tell us, Mr. Welchman, which headline is
"more right?"
Our opinion is that a headline is a device designed
to pique reader interest. If we are doing a disservice
to our readers by accompanying a story with a
headline that makes them thoroughly peruse the
facts, and thus better inform themselves on an issue
of concern to them directly, we are sorry.
• Welchman criticizes Mike Sims for ''putting such
a misleading headline in our school paper.''
First, we feel a personal attack on somebody Mr.
Welchman has obviously never met, and whose work
is consistently accurate and fair, is a pretty cheap
shot. Secondly, Sims is primarily a writer and an
editor. Although an integral part of the production
process (laying out copy, photos and headlines, etc.),
he may or may not at any given time be writing or approving headlines for the paper.
In this instance, Sims did not write the headline
above his story. Even if he had, it wouldn't matter:
We still don't think the headline misleading or Sims
guilty of anything more than presenting an important
story in a factual manner.
• In the fourth paragraph of the letter, Welchman

says "it is hard to have faith in LCC's student
government because of what the TORCH prints."
Promoting "faith in LCC's student government"
is not our function, Mr. Welchman. We report the
news. If the ASLCC is making news -- good, bad or
indifferent -- it is our job to cover that news and put
what happens in print.
Although we as much as any group of students appreciate -- and report -- the great strides the ASLCC
has made this year, we also recognize that news
which might be construed as negative is unavoidable
from that corner of LCC.
If Mr. Welchman wants to let recent events overshadow the positive things the ASLCC has done this
school year -- the things that do promote faith in the
student government -- that's his business.
• Finally, Welchman says that he felt student
government meetings ''were very open'' and that he
"had a real voice in what was going on in the
meetings." Well, we never claimed the Senate
meetings weren't open. It never arose in• a straight
news story, a feature, or an editorial. In fact, we admire and appreciate the ASLCC's accessibility.
As mentioned before, we don't usually get defensive with letters to the editor. But when we find that
claims made in print are inaccurate or just plain
wrong, we think a correction of facts -- like our own
self-regulation -- is in order.

Class registratio n too inconveni ent during finals week
Commentary
by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor

As the end of the year approaches, so do final examinations. And what many
students will realize is missing
from their usual finals frenzy
-- in Spring Term only -- is an
additional hassle: Registration.
The way the system is
presently organized, registration for Winter and Spring
terms is held during finals
week of Fall and Winter
terms, respectively. And more
than a few students have complained that they "just don't
have the time'' to try and
figure out a comprehensive
schedule and register for each
new term while completing
their studies for the previous
term.

LCC's registration process
hassles are a stark counterpoint to the University of
Oregon's system. In two days,
the U of O registers some
14,000 full-time students.
LCC's 8000, however, are subject to a process spread out
over five days.

There are reasons for the
greater length of time, of
course: LCC' s staff for
registration purposes is
nowhere near the size of the U
of O's, and registration takes
longer. Five days also allows
students' places in registration
(according to Social Security
numbers) to be rotated over a
greater time span, and allows
each student the opportunity
to be "first in line" at some
point.
But the objection from this

corner isn't so much how long
the process takes but when it
o~urs. There must be a better
time to register than finals
week. Why not Dead Week
(the week before finals)?
Granted, students are spending a lot of time studying
during this week, but they
aren't under the continual
pressure finals week brings.
The biggest objections to
moving registration up one
week would come from the instructional and administrative
sides of the street, as I see it:
• Instructors: Like students,
faculty have to do their
homework and class preparation, too. As a rule, they are
almost as strapped for time as
any student. Then again, they
aren't trying to pass classes
and register at the same time.
The question, then: Who can

better handle the extra
workload, students or instructors?
• Administration
&
Registrar: That moving
registration up a week would
cause planning and staff problems for the registrar almost
goes without saying. While actively trying to serve students
from the registrar's office,
staff would have to man the
registration tables as well. The
chore would be difficult, yes.
Impossible? I doubt it.
The registration issue comes
down to a matter of convenience. Registering during
finals week is hard. On the
other hand, completely
dismantling the present
registration process in favor of
another seems a bit extreme.
What is needed is input

represent in society.
We the disabled should be
allowed equal access to the
amenities that the entire
population enjoys. . .if our
society is to prosper. Over the
past forty years, I was in this
privileged majority when I enjoyed
this
"middle
class/ 1anded It axpayer
status,'' which seemed to be
part and parcel of the
American Dream which I have
worked so hard for.
Therefore, I feel that since I
have been disabled seven
years, I can speak for both
segments in our society.
When Vic Atiyeh, acting as
governor of Oregon, had trimmed $2.5 million from our
capital expenditure portion of
the budget for higher education (most of which had been
used to remove architectural

barriers in the state universities), he left $0, and it leaves
me wondering if he had given
any consideration to the minds
that may not have been
developed because of the real
handicap this creates.
If allowed, the disabled
have proven that they can accomplish things .. .it is common knowledge that Franklin
Roosevelt had been paralyzed
from polio ... Itzhak Perlman,
the genius concert violinist, is
a polio victim. , Ray Charles,
George Shearing, and Stevie
Wonder are all sightless and
they possess unusual vision
which we all enjoy. I cannot
cite all of the accomplishments
of these outstanding individuals without wondering
how many others with potentially equal abilities turned
away because of the flight of

stairs that looked like Mt.
Everest! When this happens,
not only the individual but
also society becomes handicapped.
. . . Please do not enclose
"genius" in a disability; give it
an equal chance to develop.
Remove the "barriers." It is
such a small price to pay to
keep society from being
"handicapped." It is an investment that can bring a
handsome return: The profit
of a non-handicapped society
where everyone has the equal
opportunity to achieve. . .
Equality begins with equal
opportunity. Equal opportunity also gives birth to
FREEDOM to those who do
not have it currently.

-Letters---------Disabled and
handicapped
not the same
To the Editor:

This year, 1983, is the International Year of the Disabled.
Why is the term "disabled"
used
rather
than
"handicapped?" The reasons
are as valid as the two terms,
and the two terms are not
synonomolis, though there are
situations when it appears to
be the case. These situations
should be corrected. People
can have disabilities and not be
handicapped only if society
can recognize that the people
that have the "handicap" are
the ones who cannot or will
not realize the incredible
potentials that disabled people

from students and faculty to
determine the real severity of
the problem. Perhaps a different, gradually changing
registration program is in
order. Registration during
vacations following the term is
another answer. Either way,
the last thing students need
during finals week is another
hassle.

Thanks to LCC,it's been a growing experience
Commentary by Jeff Keatin2

TORCH Editor

It's been one
month since I
wrote a signed
editorial for the
TORCH, and for
that, I'm sorry
-- especially when I
the last editorial I will write for the

TORCH.

It's been an interesting year, _hasn't
it? On the positive side, we've seen a
resolution of the Child Development
Center/fumes controversy; active student participation in many issues including ROTC; a new sports merger;
and the emergence of a strong, decisive
student government.
On the down side, we've seen that
same student government's record
marred by ASLCC election violations;
two failed election measures; the
establishment and subsequent revision
of a payroll plan unpopular with many
employees; and the existence of the
Women's Studies Program threatened.
Good or bad, what's made the news
has served to reinforce what I've

always believed about LCC: We're a
community in a community out here,
and although we're not as visible in the
eyes of Eugene/Springfield as the
University of Oregon, we're more than
serving our purpose.
And part of what makes that purpose so important is the students.
An educated start

I won't start a sappy speech about
how we are the leaders of tomorrow ..
.but it's true.
I won't say that the things we do
with our lives might affect many, many
people, including our children and our
children's children ... but that's true,
too.
And I wouldn't dream of saying that
by continuing in education, we're making the right choice. . .but that's the
most truthful statement of all.
You see, all of those high school
graduation speeches meant something.
With words, your fell ow students were
trying to say that we'll always be trying
to reach for something better, within
and without ourselves: Trying to im-

prove a condition, change a biased way
of thinking, or simply right what seems
to be a wrong.
And to do those things, we need to
know why they exist, why we think
they are wrong, and what we can do
about them. And that's where education comes in.
LCC's intellectual and informational resources make up a vast pool.
Dip into it. When you find that it has
reached its limit, move on, and find
other pools at other places. Dip into
them as well. After experiencing this
unique cross-section of beliefs, attitudes, and instructional methods we
can truly claim to know ''what the
world's about" and why we believe as
we do.
A personal example

I know I've grown a lot since I've
been here. I developed a craft from its
infant stages to what I feel is a modest
respectability. I learned that I can
make a difference through what I do,
and that what I do can be very good ..
.and very bad. It can be very rewarding, and sometimes very frustrating.

In my growth, I've had a lot of help.
I've been surrounded this year by a
wonderful group of intelligent,
cooperative people -- the TORCH staff
-- who've made what the TORCH tries
to do that much easier, and I'm
grateful. I have three thoughtful and
challenging advisers who sometimes
made sure that what I did wasn't easy
so that I'd learn to do it better. In other
words, this has been an experience I
wouldn't trade for anything. I
wouldn't have to. It's worth it's weight
in gold .
Goodbye

A few days ago, an administrator
thanked the TORCH, and me, for all
the work we'd done this year. I thanked him and went on my way, but later I
got to thinking: Maybe that compliment should be turned around, collectively as well as individually. I know
that I often forget to give thanks where
thanks is due, so ...
Thank you, Lane Community College. You've done a lot for me. I hope
I've returned the favor.

-Letters-----~--------Denali responds

to criticism
To the Editor:

Last week's TORCH included a letter to the editor from
Thom Couch criticizing Denali
magazine. The letter is made
up of gross inaccuracies. I
would like to respond to them.
. . . Couch has either been
unwittingly misled about the
purpose of Denali or has merely made some incorrect
assumptions. The function of
Denali is for students to get
hands-on experience with their
majors within the format of a
magazine -- not to publish as
much work , from other
students as possible. This
year's staff, with the exception
of the art editor, is entirely
made up of English and journalism majors as opposed to
past years when Denali attracted more students from
publication and design and
graphic art fields. It is not surprising or unethical that this
year's staff contributed more
in the form of the written
word.
As for the attacks on the
quality of the magazine, we
have received much praise
from both students and
members of the language arts
faculty who feel that the
material included is excellent.
Finally, the accusations of
''unprof essionalism'' are
misleading. Every staff has
made mistakes and there have
always been those that liked or
disliked each of the magazines
for various reasons.
We apologize to Ms. Kiner
on the problems of her story.
This particular story caused us
many problems all through the
production of the magazine.
This sometimes happens. I
would like to point out

though, that many other
writers are happy with the way
their work was handled.
Cynthia Whitfield
Editor, Denali

Don't gamble
on quality ·
of students
To the Editor:

I would like to express my
disappointment with the obvious direction of quality control in the procedures used for
selecting students to limited
enrollment courses, or more
specifically computer operations majors.
This field of study is limited
to 20 students a year who are
selected by the flip of a coin in
a lottery (imagine -Stanford or
Harvard doing the same?). No
consideration is given to the
qualifications, desire or direction of the students who sign
up for this lottery.
This will say a lot for the
"stamp" LCC may receive
from businesses who hire "less
than best" graduates from
LCC's computer department.
What about those who are
selected who are less than
serious about a career in this
field and fail to slide through
the program? That costs
everyone time, money and effort.
I know of no other institutions or businesses that don't
screen applicants to find out
which ones really have the
desire and capabilities to build
and maintain a reputation of
quality and reliability.

Reader criticizes
'sensationalism'
in TORCH
To the Editor:

I'd like to say a word about
the TORCH's one-sided sensationalizing of the recent elections.
Case in point: The headline
of last week's TORCH read
''Commission Rules Bylaws
Violated." That is a very

misleading line. There were 10
complaints, eight of those
were proven invalid by an unbiased judiciary committee.
The two bylaws that were
violated had no outcome on
the election.

low on my list of people for
putting such a misleading
headline in our school paper.

Jobs wel I done
To the Editor:

Another year is almost over
and two groups of students
who have been very hard
working and successful in their
efforts are concluding their
year.
One group is the TORCH
crew and, as I view it, you had
one of the most successful
years we have ever had with
the TORCH. Edition after edition was interesting and showed a high degree of professionalism in the reporting and
the writing. Besides, you were
all OREAT people with whom
to deal. (Notice my impressive
grammar there -- you should
have had me writing for you.)
The second group is the
ASLCC. Of late they have
been criticized on several
counts and I feel it is sad to
have their year end this way.
This student government has
been one of the most productive and reliable that I have
ever worked with and I have
been doing it for many years
and have worked with some
excellent people. They certainly do not deserve the criticism
they are getting. Some
mistakes may have been made.
They are human and are learning, as are all of us.
The trip to Heceta House,
for example, is being
prese~ted by some as being only for pleasure and being exorbitantly expensive. Neither of
those things is true. These
workshops are held each year
for the purpose of training the
new officers. They are held off
campus so that the sessions
can run all day and on into the
evenings with minimal interuptions. A great deal of
serious work is accomplished.
I know this because I have participated in them. Heceta
House is used because there is
no rental fee. ASL CC pays for
the food. The time spent sharing meals together is relaxing

Thanks for gifts

To the Editor:

As a member of a new
organization here at LCC I
would like to take this opportunity to thank the student
government for their support
of and donation to Nuclear
Free Pacific group here on
campus.
With this donation the
moral support of you, the student body, we can proceed to
grow and unite toward a better and safer future for the
world. With your help as a
concerned individual for a
Nuclear Free Pacific we as a
group can be a powerful tool
against a destructive, dehumanizing experience that
the people of the islands of
Micronesia and other Pacific
areas are currently facing.
Our purposes as a new
organization are as follows:
• We are committed to the
goals of the nuclear free and
independent Pacific movement as defined in the people's
charter for a nuclear free
Pacific.
• We seek to present the
NFP issue to the LCC student
body and the community at
large.
• We seek to link peace for
minority and environmental
concerns the Pacific region
• We support the right of
self-determination of all people and support movement
working towards this goal.
• We intend the process
within the organization to be
democratic and mutually supportive, we will follow the
principles of criticism, selfcriticism.
If you have an interest in
participation in our group or
questions about our purpose
and concerns for a Nuclear
Free Pacific, please contact us

Where will it end
To the Editor:

Taxes, serial levies, tuition,
class fees -- where will the funnel end? A serial levy imposes
and collects taxes or other
payments in successive periods
of time from a specific
geographical location. These
taxes or payments of one's income, property value, etc. for
the support of the government
have become prohibitive with
inflation.
For students who pay tuition or a charge for their class
instruction this could be a
double burden. For those
students who take classes with
curricular fees (for class
materials not included in tuition) it could be impossible.
As stated in LCC's
philosophy by Mr. Eldon G.
Shafer to students, "You have
the right to expect the college
of your choice to be forward
looking but also to have looked back and to have learned
from the past in order to better
serve you, the student body.''
My question is how is this
accomplished by raising taxes
and/or tuition? . . .Is the
money this institution is
receiving being used wisely
and how can we, as interested
students and tax payers check
up on these public servants?
Through page after page of
technical reports? ... Do you
think our board members
could publish a simple way to
understand a breakdown of
what they have accomplished
and what they are doing with
our money? ...
Recently I went to a Board
meeting and asked about a 13
percent raise requested by administrative personnel. Why
isn't this common knowledge
and why don't these people
negotiate at the beginning of
the year (October) instead of
the end (June)?
I initiated a petition and requested
distribution
throughout the campus but
was denied. It seems certain
places on campus are not
public property (Veterans Office, Financial Aid desk,
Counselors counter, Admissions Office, etc.). I am asking
the Board of Education to
clarify for all those concerned
where a political instrument
may be distributed on campus,
no matter whose interests it
conflicts with.

'Activism' _describes '82-83 ASLCC
Feature by Mike Sims
TORCH Associate Editor

When all is said and done,
one word will best summarize
the 1982-83 ASLCC executive
officers and Senate: Activism.
It was once said of President
Eisenhower, ''Kings are not
always wise -- sometimes they
are just there.'' The same
philosophy, albeit in different
terms, had been applied to
most previous LCC student
governments.
But ASLCC Pres. Paquita
Garatea speaks with pride
when she states her biggest
source of satisfaction in this
past year's government: "We
compelled the LCC administration and board to be
aware of student voices and
opinions, and helped make
LCC more visible to its community."
Garatea and the current
ASLCC officers and senators
leave office May 31. Sens.
Bryan Moore and Kevin
Taylor will be sworn in as
1983-84 president and vicepresident respectively at 3
p.m. in room 205 of the PE
Building.
Cristina Becker and Sen.
Stephen Wysong will assume
the offices of treasurer and
Cultural Director respectively.
New ASLCC senators will also
take offo;e.
A viable student voice

Garatea cited the Child
Development Center (CDC)
and ROTC controversies as
examples of how the administration ''listened to

(ASLCC) concerns and gave
us respect as individuals -- and
as a group with a voice and a
commitment.''
In both instances the
ASLCC was instrumental in
mobilizing student and,
ultimately, community input.
Such input resulted in the
Child Development Center being moved off campus to
Dunn School from the Health
Building when it was alleged
that toxic fumes existed in the
CDC.
And one of the first official
acts of Garatea's administration was a resolution opposing
the implementation of a
ROTC program on campus.
The ASLCC followed through
with a massive lobbying effort
against the proposal, directed
at the LCC Board of Education. In May, the University of
Oregon ROTC program officially withdrew the course
proposal from board consideration.
"Jack Carter (LCC Dean of
Students) told me that if the
students and the administration always agreed on
everything, no change would
or could take place,'' Garatea
says. "In order to grow as individuals and as a student
body we need change."
Looking beyond
the LCC Basin

"We also wanted to create a
program that would break the
bonds of parochial thinking,''
Garatea says in explaining the
ASLCC's quest to help LCC
students toward a broader
world view.

MONTH AND PROVIDE
A PRECIOUS HUMAN
RESOURCE - YOUR PLASMA

''Our technical graduates
may work in China, our nurses
in Central America,'' Garatea
observes. "We cannot only be
concerned with Lane County
anymore -- we need to be
aware of happenings all over
the world, and how they effect
all of us as human beings.''
Toward this end, the
ASLCC sponsored a number
of creative and enlightening
on-campus
events.
November's Peace Week was
an attempt to enlighten the
students on past and present
US foreign policy and the
hazards of nuclear war. Earth
Week, in April, brought a
number of guest speakers to
LCC to share information on
pollution, energy conservation
and management.
Other ASLCC-sponsored
events helped raise student
consciousness of racism and
sexism, and the draft. Respectively, author Audre Lord and
convicted draft resister Benjamin Sasway spoke to LCC
students and the community
on these topics.
Parting shots

Garatea says, ''My only
regret is that more students
didn't take advantage of these
events and other ASLCC services."
The ASLCC continued to
subsidize LTD three-month
discount bus passes this past
year, and this week ratified a
three-year contract with attorneys Stanley Cram and
Joseph McKeever to provide
free legal services (see story,
page 1).
One "rough spot" for
Garatea and her administration was the recent controversy surrounding the 1983-84
student body elections. The
administration came under
fire early this month for alleg-

ed violations of ASLCC bylaws. An ASLCC judicial
panel deemed two of ten election grievances valid, but
assesed no penalty. Complainants will appeal the ruling
to the LCC Grievance Committee.
Garatea offers a simple
benediction on the matter:
"It's unfortunate that a few
people
view
us
as
Machiavellian-type politicians
(an objective justifying the
means of achieving it)," she
says. "We spent many long,
hard hours fulfilling our constitutional purpose -- to serve
the students of Lane Community College."

discord

The 1983-84 ASLCC elections, held May 3 and 4, were
marred by a controversy which
will apparently continue after
the newly elected officers and
Senate take office next week.
A group of 10 students led
by Student Resource Center
Director Roger Fisher and
ASLCC Sen. Larry Mann,
both presidential candidates,
filed a list of ten grievances

''Nobody told me about the·
fumes. We could have been
forewarned. . .I felt angry
(and) disillusioned ... "
LCC Child Development
Center (CDC) head teacher
Marci Temple remembers Feb.
5, 1982 as a day she'd prefer to
forget. For that Friday marked the beginning of a major
controversy involving the

CDC and the Health Building.
That day, the CDC was
cleared when thick fumes
entered the classroom, causing
the children to complain of
n au sea and headaches.
Sources for the fumes were
thought to have been the college's laundry department

ROTC

rescinded

In A11 ril 1982, the commander of the University of
Oregon Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program
introduced a proposal before
the LCC Curriculum Committee requesting the implementation of six lower division
ROTC courses at the college.
This April, Lt. Col. Steven
Wolfgram officially withdrew
the course proposal from
possible consideration by the
LCC Board of Education.
Between those two events, a
year-long debate was held on
possible benefits versus
drawbacks of an ROTC program at LCC.

May 6 with the ASLC~ Elections Commission.
Among other things, the
grievance charged that election
supervisors and personnel
violated several provisions of
the ASLCC Constitution by:
• Campaigning for and
publicly endorsing presidentelect Bryan Moore;
• Stuffing ASLCC Voter's
Pamphlets with Moore flyers
and distributing them to voters
throughout the election process;
• Failing to put candidate
photographs and information
on student opinion survey
questions in the Voter's Pamphlet;
• Failing to hire election personnel through the Job Placement office and hiring nonstudents to serve on the Board
of Tellers (ballot counters);
• Failing to submit campaign
information to newspapers;
• Preventing several can-

dictates from urging fellow
students to vote.
The grievance further stated
ihat several alleged violations
provided grounds for invalidating election results anc;l
re-polling the student body.
Of the ten complainants,
eight were candidates for
ASLCC offices. Two -Treasurer-elect Cristina
Becker and senator-elect
Johnna Harms -- were successful in their quest for office.
An ASLCC judiciary committee chaired by Treasurer
Ron Munion met May 11 and
12 and heard two hours of
testimony by complainants,
ASLCC officers and senators,
other students and staff
members. Munion presented
the committee's findings to the
ASLCC Senate at its May 16
meeting.
The panel ruled that two
complaints were valid: Election personnel weren't hired

where, among other things,
shop rags were cleaned.
Another possible source was
the dental lab, where materials
were used to make dental impressions.
Coordinator of Early
Childhood Education Linda
Riepe said in recalling the incident, "We called (parents) so
they could pick (their children)
up.'' Her eyes widen when adding, ''The fumes were really
intense.''
The same could be said for
the children's parents -- intense and "very upset,"
reports Temple. She adds that
parents were leaving classes
and asking pointed questions
of the .Child Development
st aff. "I felt inadequate
because I had no answers •.. I
did the only thing I could do,
move the children and call
their parents."
. In the fall of 19821 the college created a task force comprised of 13 people from the
Health Building, administration, and the Science Department. An updated newsletter
on the fumes issue was given
to staff members and available

to the students. The college
also established a fumes ''Hot
Line."
On November 3 and 4, the
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health
(NI OSH) tested the building to
determine what contaminants
might be found from
chemicals used in the building,
and what symptoms.___ were
caused by the chemicals
reported.
After testing, NIOSH made
a list of recommendations
which included:
• Elimination of parking
between the tennis courts and
the Health Building;
• The use of non-kerosene
based detergent used for the
laundry and the washing of
rags stopped;
• Classrooms being kept
under positive air pressure
(when a door is opened more
air goes out than comes in);
• Moving the dental lab to
the Science Building;
• Venting dental lab
darkroom fans up instead of
to the side of the building;
• Recommending
that
workers with symptoms con-

In November 1981, LCC requested formal testing by
NIOSH, who found no toxic
levels in the air and indicated
that there did not appear to be
a common cause among the illnesses.
But "our concerns haven't
been forgotten," Porter emphasizes. "That's why (the
task force) still meet(s) month1 Y·"

Anti-ROTC advocates cited
a lack of student input in favor
of the proposal and stated that
a ROTC program at Lane
would be economically unsound.
They also objected to what
they perceived to be a growing
overemphasis on militarism in
America and feared that this
influence would affect LCC if
a ROTC program were implemented.
Persons favoring the UO
proposal asserted that LCC
should live up to its purpose as
a broad-based, comprehensive
educational institution. They
urged that LCC continue to
provide a . wide variety of
courses and sociopolitical
points of view.
Another popular pro-ROTC
argument stemmed from belief
that a strong defense led by
well-educated, well-rounded
personnel would be in society's best interests. Some claim-

ed that in their experience the
most cool-headed, liberal
military officers were collegeeducated and ROTC-trained.
The ROTC proposal was
tabled by the LCC Board in
June 1982. In September
board chair Charlene Curry
told the TORCH, "As far as
I'm concerned ROTC is a nonissue.''
On-campus speculation rose
in January that the board
would revive and act upon the
question during winter term.
At that time, concerned
students, faculty, staff and
community members began to
organize in favor of or opposition to ROTC at Lane. The
ASLCC Senate reaffirmed its
earlier resolution against the
proposal by forming a "Stop
ROTC committee.'' Meetings
and public information sessions were held on the issue.
Nevertheless, the board con-:
tinued to sit on the proposal.

Wolfgram's withdrawal of
the proposal, hailed by some
anti-ROTC activists as a major victory, has rendered the

ASLCC Judiciary Committee took testimony May 10

through prescribed channels
and the Board of Tellers was
not comprised of LCC
students. No repolling of the
student body or other punitive
action was recommended.
Two ·groups of students led
by Mann and former treasurer
candidate Bob Baldwin, unsatisfied with the judiciary
committee decision, have
taken their complaints to the
LCC Grievance Committee

The total cost for Health
Building modifications, to be
paid for from the LCC contingency fund, is over $48,000.

for further action.
The committee, led by
Director of Employee Relations Hank Douda, has set no
date for hearing Baldwin's and
Mann's complaints. Douda
would not even speculate on
when the committee might
convene to take action, but
stated that all sides of the issue
would receive a fair and impartial hearing.
Mike Sims

-~:;
The fumes problem has also
prompted legal action. Home
Economics employees have filed suit against the manufacturers and installers of the ventilating systms, and the
building's designer.
Those employees who have
had to seek medical help are
currently embroiled in court
proceedings to determine
whether the State Accident Insurance Fund (SAIF) must
cover the employees' medical
expenses.

learned that her status as a
"contracted, . 53 percent
employee'' was in jeopardy.
Barry received notice from
Dean of Instruction Gerald
Rasmussen that because of
low enrollment in one of her
classes, and budget cuts, her

time in two years·.
LCC's per-credit-hour tuition cost, beginning Summer
Term, will be $18. The new
amount means full-time
students will pay $198 per
term, or $11 more per term
than at present.

LCC's athletic program
earned the 1982-83 OCCAA
all-sports trophy, with men's
and women's athletics earning
a combined total of 83 points
in eight sports.
The Titan men won OCCAA championships in cross
country, basketball and track
and field to earn the bulk of
their 42 points.
Women's teams took conference cross country and

Lane's new tuition figure
will place the school in the
middle of the Oregon Community College Association
pack. LCC's new tuition is no
higher than sixth in cost in the
13-member OCCA.

In making its decision, the
board recognized that a tuition
hike was inevitable, given the
difficult economic times and
the failures of the Nov. 2 and
March 29 school levies.
But it also noted with interest the words of Dean of
Students Jack Carter.
"It's never easy to tell
students that their tuition is
going up,'' he said at the April
13 meeting. "But what we've
got here will cause the least im-

Larry Perry, the lone dissenting vote in the board's 7-1
decision, expressed concern
over the narrowing of the
"cost gap" between a university and a community college.
"If we are truly offering a
less expensive education,''
Perry said, ''it has to be
reflected in tuition.'' And
after noting that the difference
in cost between LCC and the

status would be reduced to a
term-by-term, part-time instructor, and an undetermined
portion of the Women's
Studies classes would be cut.
Throughout the fall and
winter months, Rasmussen,
other administrators, Barry,
and Women's Program Director Bev Berhman explored
several options to meet budget
and class requirements. Under
Berhman, the LCC Women's
Program maintains the
Women's Awareness Center
on the second floor of the
Center Building, and promotes several informational
and support efforts for
women. Barry's Women's
Studies classes, although considered an element of the
Women's Program, are paid
for and administered by the
Social Science Department.
This month, the administration decided that for the next

fiscal year Barry will continue
to teach a total of six
Women's Studies classes -two less than she currently
teaches -- and would continue
to teach students enrolled in
Independent Studies projects
in the women's studies field.
Additionally, Barry will
become the Coordinator of
Education for the Women's
Program, administered by
Berhman. To Barry the decision means her retrenchment
has been rescinded through the
next fiscal year, and she is
once again a .53 percent contractual employee.
To Berhman, it means an
added dimension to the
Women's Program. She states
that Barry is the "expert" on
campus who can help LCC
women become aware of their
physiological, sociological,
political, and historical identities.

Points are tabulated on a
per-sport basis, with each OCCAA team receiving a certain
number of points based on its
final standing in conference

women's teams collectively
outscored the six other participating schools.
Women's Cross Country

U of O is about $260, he added, ''Everytime we change our

The new tuition boost
presently leaves LCC's 2900
Pell Grant recipients in financial limbo. Since the $11-perterm increase is not enough to
put Pell students into the next
higher financial bracket,
where each would receive offsetting federal monies,
students will have to foot the
boost themselves.
A proposed increase in the
student fee, however, would
put those students "over the
hump," should it pass in the
June 1 and 2 student election.

And Barry is pleased. She
says the job description is still
in the planning stages, but
''initial ideas include taking
over the Brown Bag Lunch
(discussion) series," and planning workshops on women's
and feminist issues. "I think
there are lots of things that
should be dealt with -- a lot of
issues that specifically affect
women students here, and
general issues in the women's_
community.''
Her long range plan is to
help instructors integrate
material about women into
their curriculum if they are interested in doing so. "A lot of
people just simply don't know
that the new scholarship of
women is available. It's not
their own individual prejudices, they're just totally
unaware that all of this work is

LCC's baseball team finished fourth in the OCCAA with
a 6-10 league record. The
Titans were 14-15 overall.
Coach Bob Foster said it
was a disappointing season for

LADD (for Lane Automatic
Direct Deposit), would have
given college employees the
option of having part or all of
their monthly paychecks
deposited either in the SELCO
(Service Employees of Lane
County) credit union or other
financial institutions.
Employees who did not
choose either option would
have had their paychecks mailed directly to their homes.
New employees and rehires
would not have had the ''mail
home'' option: Their checks
would automatically be direct
deposited.
But the proposed plan drew
fire from several LCC

Purcha~ing
employees.
Department employees circulated a petition calling for a
fourth option: Receiving
payroll checks at their
workplaces, as was the procedure before the LADD plan.
Employees had a chance to
voice concerns and opinions
during three open meetings in
mid-April. Financial Services
Director Verne Whittaker told
employees that he would
assess staff feedback (which
included a questionnaire
distributed to those attending
the meetings) and consider
making some changes in the
original LADD plan.
As a result of the petition,

of Education will listen to
public testimony and take official action on it that night (to
adopt and appropriate funds -or not).
Berry says the LCC budget,
which receives revenue
through property taxes and
state FTE funding, is ''tied to
the governor's request (for
community colleges) -- and it's
a fairly good bet we'll get
that.''
But Berry is quick to point
out that although the college
has a 1983-84 operating
budget, the need for funding
for deferred maintenance pro. jects and instructional equipment has not gone away.
In March, Lane County
voters rejected a proposed
$4.6 million serial levy that

would have allowed LCC to
begin reroofing, painting and
carpeting college buildings.
Money from the levy would
have also replaced outdated
and worn instructional equipment.
Berry says college officials
are ''looking for different
ways to solve the problem"
and may consider submitting a
one-year levy or another levy
to the voters in the fall.
To meet long-term building
maintenance and equipment
replacement needs, Berry says
the college must find a new
source of funding and set aside
a reserve fund for those projects that carries over from
year to year.
But, he says, "It's tough to
set aside a reserve account

The $9500 unit enables the
college to receive signals from
various communication
satellites, thus expanding the
old telecourse system, which
only received Public Broadcast
programming.
The new dish also makes
LCC the only community college north of San Francisco equipped with facilities
to present live and in-house
teleconferences to and from
around the country.
Teleconferences are broadcasts that are transmitted to
other parts of the country via
communication satellites.
LCC has so far hosted two

conference, on April 7, was
aimed at the health profession
and the second, on April 19,

Flexible SAC serves Florence area
Feature by Chris Gann
TORCH Staff Writer

As Spring Term winds down
students in Automechanics
classes at the Siuslaw Area
Center (SAC) are finishing
engine overhauls and are
cleaning up the garage. But the
shop won't sit unused and
empty all summer. Early in July new students will transform
the auto garage into an
upholstery shop as they begin
a two-week course in funiture
recovering.
Community education coordinators, instructors and even
their classrooms must be adaptable in order to bring a broad
range of classes and services to
community residents.
"Community education is
so far removed from the traditional education process that
we have to be a lot more flexible," asserts SAC Coordinator Al Owens.
Owens explains that the
Siuslaw Center is a community
center as well as a school. The
building is rented to a local

church group that uses it for
worship Sunday mornings. On
Sunday afternoons a local
square dance group do-si-dos
in a classroom for free. The
center has also hosted an antitrauma and a basic life support workshop for the medical
community.
Instructors must be flexible,
too. SAC instructors often
must teach in a non-traditional
manner. This term, for instance, an SAC class schedule
shows one welding instructor
taught seven welding classes
during one time block and one
automechanics instructor
taught
all
seven
automechanics classes from 6
p.m. to 11 p.m. each week
night. In the office skills area,
19 of the 22 business courses
offered list Jean Spriggs as the
instructor. Owens says that instructors who teach these
kinds of lab classes are
"special people" who are able
to move smoothly from student to student, providing individualized instruction.
Owens keeps the class
schedule flexible to extend the

range of course offerings and
to keep class enrollment up.
By normal college standards,
Owens says, the SAC schedule
is ''peculiar''. Some college
transfer courses such as
sociology and psychology are
offered in alternate years.
And, SAC offers some vocational courses on an alternate
term basis. By clustering
students on an alternate
year/term plan SAC students
can meet Associate of Science
degree requirements ~ithin
two years.
Owens
says
it's a
"challenge" to meet the needs
of students each term. When
SAC began offering a biology
sequence he says he wondered
how they would provide
microscopes for the third term
of the class. SAC didn't have
microscopes and didn't have
money in its budget to purchase any. EventuallyOwens
and the biology department on
the main campus worked out a
plan to run the third section of
biology Summer Term using
microscopes from the main
campus. Owens says this example of cooperation is typical
of the kind of support main
campus departments provide
SAC.
And, Owens says, administrative support has kept

-ASLCC treasurer ill

Cancer forces Munion to fight new battles

by Mike Sims

TORCH Associate Editor

Ron Munion discovered one
day late in March, while lobbying for community college
interests at the state
legislature, that his shirt didn't
sit right on his neck and
shoulders.
Earlier, the 21-year old
ASLCC treasurer had
discovered a growth on his
neck but believed it to be
related to an abcessed tooth.
"I didn't tell my doctor about
it (the lump) at that time,"
Munion recalled.
Upon returning from Salem
Munion visited his physician,
who told him he suspected the
possibility of cancer. A subsequent biopsy confirmed that
the lump on Munion's neck
was a malignancy. Munion
was diagnosed as having
Hodgkinson's Disease -cancer of the lymph glands.
What followed for Munion
was a month-long process to
determine how far the disease
had progressed.
Further tests showed that
Munion's spleen was slightly
enlarged but confirmed the
results of the langiograrn.

However, these tests didn't
show whether the cancer had
progressed to Munion's bone
cells.
"I learned what pain was,"
Munion commented, referring
to the next step: A biopsy, in
which a section of bone was
removed for analysis. This
biopsy told Munion and his
doctors that the cancer had
not entered his bone cells.
Such entry signifies the fourth
and final stage of cancer.
Munion underwent surgery
to remove the lump from his
neck at the same time the bone
biopsy was performed. Five
cancerous lymph glands were
removed, where doctors had
earlier believed only two existed.
Finally, Munion was
diagnosed as being in stage 3b
of Hodgkinson's Disease. The
disease was located in three
locations -- lymph glands,
spleen and chest. With the
onset of this stage, cancer patients begin chemotherapy -the administering of strong
chemicals to kill fastspreading cancer cells. Munion began his series of
treatments in late April.
Munion is by his own

description a "guinea pig" for
a new type of cancer treatment
that French physicians have
discovered to be 75 percent effective toward survival, with a
high probability of complete
eradication of the disease. Munion and his doctors are aiming their sights toward this
end.
"Three years ago cancer patients were given a 59 percent
chance of living,'' Munion
says. ''These new treatments
from France really up one's
chances of survival and complete recovery -- though

there's the possibility that the
disease may crop back up five
years from now and I'll start
the process all over again."
Chemotherapy is not
without its undesirable aftereffects. Sterility, loss of facial
and bodily hair, tiredness and
nausea are all associated with
chemical cancer treatments.
Munion's illness and the cycle of treatments have
drastically altered his oncebusy schedule. A Business
Management major, Munion
earned a 4.0 GP A winter term
and has twice been invited to
join Phi Theta Kappa, a national community college
honorary society.
He was forced to drop all of
his spring term classes. His
doctors have suggested taking
a full year off from school.
Political activity and community service are both important parts of Munion's life,
and have of necessity fallen by
the wayside to some degree.
He had to turn down a lobbying position with the US
Senate because of his schedule
of chemotherapy.
"I haven't been as active in
the College Republicans or the
CCOSAC political involve-

ment committee (PIC) as I'd
like to be,'' Munion says,
referring to two key outlets for
his political interests and concerns. Munion has made many
trips to Salem during the current regular and recent special
legislative sessions to lobby for
community college concerns
on behalf of the PIC.
"The thing that's upset me
the most is being away from
school so much," Munion
comments. "I have so many
abilities by which LCC
students would benefit and I
can't be there to lend them."
Munion (who was unable to
vote in the recent ASLCC elections because of cancer testing
and therapy) did return to
LCC for a week between
treatments to chair the
ASLCC Judiciary Committee.
ASLCC Pres. Paquita Garatea
later stated, "Ron's expertise
in parliamentary procedure
aided an equitable and speedy
resolution to the election
grievances.''
Munion says that his illness
has had two beneficial results.
''The best thing, if anything
good has come of this, is that
it's brought my family closer
together,'' he summarizes.

Entertainment
Obscure plot steals film's thunder
Review by Jeff Keating

TORCH Editor

From a purely technical
standpoint, Blue Thunder is
an appealing and wellexecuted film replete with an
impressive display of flight
weaponry and modern police
tactics.
But Blue Thunder's
weakness lies in a confusing
story line that obscures the
main character's reason for
acting as he does, and the film
has an almost "surprise" ending as a result.
The story:
The US government has
developed a super-powerful,
superfast helicopter, ostensibly for "crowd control" during the 1984 Los Angeles
Olympic Games. They recruit
a near-renegade L.A. observation cop/ chopper pilot (Roy
Scheider) to help test the new
'copter, nicknamed Blue
Thunder, in city conditions.
Scheider is continually
pestered in hi_s task by one of
his Vietnam rivals and the
pilot who flew test runs in Blue
Thunder
(Malcolm
McDowell). And as the story

,,..,

fades into unrecognizability,
the audience realizes that
McDowell and government officials are embarking on an
elaborate mission to "clean
up" L.A. 's poverty districts
with the weapons on Blue
Thunder, using "crowd control" at the Games as a front.
Scheider finds out about the
plot, and a good part of the
film is spent in a furious chase
scene involving helicopters,
cars,
and expendable
policemen.
And although the chase is
well done, and the stunt
helicopter and car work
fascinating as well as exciting,
they just serve to reinforce
Blue Thunder's lack of definition. The chase sequence could
be viewed as a separate film
and be just as entertaining,
since there's no storyline
adherence to intrude on the excitement.
In fact, I spent a lot of time
on the drive home from the
theatre wondering exactly
what the conflict in the film
had been. After about 45
minutes, and after a thorough
examination of my notes, I
finally figured it out. But it

was entirely too much work,
all things considered.
The only truly positive
things about the film were
some of the performances and
the helicopter its elf, a
menacing-looking piece of
equipment.
Roy Scheider, a wonderful
actor (All That Jazz, Jaws) is
just fine in his role. His performance is uninspiring but
competent.
Candy Clark (American
Graf/ill), Scheider's love interest, plays an integral part in
the alleged story but is never
really explained as a character.
Frankly, I didn't like Clark's
performance and felt her

desperate flouncing was an annoying counterpoint to
Scheider's generally low-key
demeanor.

The best acting effort was
turned in by McDowell, the
skilled Briton of Time After
Time and Cat People fame.
McDowell is evil in a uniform,
and jeopardizes Scheider's life
while perpetuating a guise of
guarded friendship.
Aside from McDowell,
though, the film is just not as
good as it could have been. In
fact, parts of it are downright
unrealistic. Throughout, every
situation .where innocent
civilians are jeopardized turns

into a ''sanctity of human
life" seminar: Nobody, but
nobody, is ever killed in the
myriad number of explosions
and crashes.
Blue Thunder, unfortunately, has to be considered a
disappointment. After a huge
promotional
buildup
(previews have been out since
January, for instance), the
film hardly lives up to expectations.
Blue Thunder proves to be
an interesting exercise in
technology and visual excitement. As an exercise in overall
entertainment, however, it
leaves a lot to be desired and a
lot to the imagination.

Art show featured in LCC gallery
by Cathy Benjamin

TORCH Staff Writer

The annual LCC student art
show opened Monday, May 16
in the Art Department
Gallery, kicked off by a reception that drew about 125 of
LCC's students and faculty.
The show, open to all LCC
students, allowed each participant to submit up to three of
their creations in any media
type.
The show will run through
June 3. Gallery hours are from
8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday
through Thursday, and 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. on Friday.
To ensure impartiality, LCC
faculty and student population
do not take part in the judging
of the entries. Each year,
gallery director and art instructor Harold Hoy selects a
member of the community not
associated with LCC to be the
judge. This year, mixed-media
artist Michael Walsh was
chosen. Walsh, a former con-

Cindee Van Dusen's "Princess and Frog Search for Fish"
tributing writer for Artweek
magazine, is a member of the
Project Space art gallery on
the downtown mall.
Walsh was given the difficult job of selecting the
pieces that would be presented

in the show. About 60 people
submitted over 100 works and
from that about 65 entries
from 40 students were chosen.
Three prizes of $25 each
were awarded to students who
excelled in their particular
medium. The winners were
Margie Wilson, for her conte'
crayon drawing; Manuel Martin, for his welded sculpture,
and Cindee VanDusen, for her
pen and ink drawing. Six
"honorable mentions" were
also awarded for works that
were significant enough to
stand out in the judge's eye.
Angela Homchick was
nominated for her jewelry
work. Her "marriage of
metals" of brass, copper and
silver were nominated as one
of the honorable mentions.
''I'm feeling very encouraged,'' Homchick said after her
award was announced. "This
is the first time I've ever
entered anything."
Entries included works from
mediums
including
photography, airbrush,
jewelry, sculpture, weaving,
oil, acrylic and watercolors,
pencil sketches and' pastel, and
conte' crayon drawings.

Teams run in all- star cha mpi ons hip
by Lucy Hopkins
TORCH Staff Writer

Lane men and women track
teams will travel to Mt. Hood
Thursday, May 26 to compete
in the Northwest All-Star
Championships.
The Washington schools
will combine to make an individual team as well as the
Oregon schools with men and
women as separate units in an
all-new type of competition.
Women's Coach Lindell
Wilken says the top four
athletes from each team, a
total of eight men and eight
women competitors in each
event, will continue to the
finals to compete for the team
championship.

The men recently won the
state conference
Championship with 274 points
and completely dominating
the competition with a total of
11 first place medals. The
NJCAA Region 18 competition was equally successful as
the men met their rivals head
on to edge Clackamas with 166
points and 18 personal
records.
The women fell short of a
team title at Regionals but still
managed second place honors
with 124 3/8 points. The state
championship proved to be a
triumph, however, as they raced to a total of 222 points and
six gold medals.
The teams, as well as individual athletes, are each to
be reckoned with if previous
OCCAA

contests are any indication.
The men's team contains
sterling individuals who
should make the matches
highly competitive. Curt Denny will be a factor in the shot
put and discus competition.
Nathan Morris has met with
success this season and set a
new record in the steeplechase.
The 400-meter relay team not
only holds several meet
records but is also undefeated
for the season. Romund
Howard, Mark Dannis, Mike
Ewing, and Marty Grant have
raced to a record-setting 40.9.
The 1600-meter relay team has
also had a great amount of
success.
Howard and Ewing are the
state and region's best
hurdlers and definite factors in

Refe ree calls gam e early ;
LCC socc er club loses 2-0
by Emmanuel Okpere

TORCH Staff Writer

The LCC soccer club lost a
hard fought contest 2-0 last
week to the Internationals
when the referee prematurely
whistled the game to an end
with five minutes to go.
The decision was made after
a winger on the Internationals
broke his right leg trying to
clear the ball away from an
LCC attacker. At that point
the referee called the two captains together, asking each if
he wished the game to continue. Both said ''yes,'' and
the game continued. But two
minutes later, the referee called the game without consulting the teams.
LCC had begun the contest
on a high note, making bold
offensive .bids, although their
efforts did not pay off. The
Internationals eventually cashed in on one opportunity,
scoring against the run of play
with eight minutes left in the
SPORTS

first half. They held that lead
through the balance of the
half.
In the second period LCC
again began strongly, but
again frittered away scoring
chances. LCC goalkeeper
deflected an Internationl shot,
only to see it carom into the
LCC net, making the final tal-

ly 2-0, Internationals.
The Titans sealed the Internationals into their half of the
field and were trying to make a
run to turn the tables before
the injury and the referee's
subsequent decision.
The Titans say they intend
to file a protest of the early
close of the contest.

• The ASLCC voted unanimously to send a letter to the
State Legislature opposing Senate Bill 415, which would allow
the forfeiture of personal property (your car, home, money,
etc.) for possession or cultivation of any amount of marijuana
or drug paraphenalia. The sentiments of the Senate were best
voiced by Student Resource Director Roger Fisher who stated
that the ''punishment was too harsh for the alleged crime.'' It
was further decided that the letter should be delivered in person
to the State Senate with verbal testimony by a member of the
ASLCC.
• Free legal services for students paying the ASLCC fee will
continue for at least another three years according to a contract
approved by the ASLCC. In the past, contracts have been signed
for a one academic year period which has restricted growth and
long-term planning. It is the hope of attorneys Joe McKeever
and Stan Cram that with the new long-term contract they will be
able to work more extensively with the paralegal program offered at Lane. They also hope to expand services to students;
Cram has familiarized himself with current draft laws and
regulations to better serve the large number of male students facing the problem.
• Cultural Director Celeste Pawol is planning an Art Faire
June 1 and 2. In addition to art work by students, interested
members of the community and an ASLCC flea market, there
will be music by such local talent as Sandunga and Eagle Park
Slim. If you would like information on reserving a booth or
table from which to sell items contact Celeste through the
ASLCC.
• ASLCC President Paquita Garatea will be handing the gavel
to President-Elect Bryan Moore, Tuesday, May 31, at 3 p.m. in
PE 205. The 1982-83 Senate will work with the new Senate until
the end of Spring Term.
• As this is the last From the ASLCC I would like to thank the
many people who have taken the time to read this column and
give positive feedback. I'd also like to thank TORCH Editor
Jeff Keating for allowing us the space to run each week, and
Associate Editor Mike Sims for the hours of advice and camaraderie that he so graciously has given.

TORCHERS -- You 're masochists,
putting out 29 issues a year, for a total
of 316 pages published without missing a Thursday morning printing
deadline. But I think the readers appreciate your efforts. You filled
22, J20 column inches with valuable
graphics, photos, advertisements, announcements, schedules, letters, opinions, analyses, features, and solid
news stories. You made about a halfdozen mistakes of consequence -which were quickly acknowledged and
corrected. You served a lot of people
-- our readership is about 9,000 weekly, so that means you reached about
261,000 in one way or another over the
year, writing 487,200 words in nine
months. Quantitatively, you produced
1,264,000 individual pages of print.
Quantities can be tabulated. Qualities
are more difficult. You gave 1,000
group hours to make it happen, and
you improved every week. I liked
every hour of it. .. well, almost every
· hour. Best wishes to you all. P

Wouldn't fresh veggies taste good this
summer? Gardening is fun, easy. and
