Lane Community College Vol. 19, N9. 11 ·Janu.ary 5 - M, 1984 4000 E. 30th Avenue • Eugene, Oregon 97405 Moore takes working 'coffee br·eak' by Will Doolittle TORCH Associate Editor As the coffee beans ripen in the hills of Nicaragua two members of the LCC community are in that country to help with the harvest. ASLCC President Bryan Moore and former student Scott Jones are members of a group of US citizens traveling to Nicaragua in a series of five "Coffee Brigades" whose purpose is to help with the harvest of that country's most important cash crop. ASLCC veeg senator resign posts • by Will Doolittle TORCH Associate Editor Two members of the ASLCC resigned from their positions at the end of Fall Term. Both Vice President The four-and-one-half year old nation is trying to recover from a history of economic underdevelopment and a revolutionary upheaval. At the same time it must cope with a US trade embargo, and the US-financed military campaign against the present government. The Nicaraguan government claims that a successful coffee harvest is essential to the country's survival. Agricultural production in Nicaragua is labor-intensive, and according to Moore his brigade will spend ten days in the fields, harvesting the cof- fee beans by hand. Before he left, Moore said his purpose was not only to help with the harvest, but to begin a dialogue with the people of the country. "Where there is a conflict between two said, he countries,'' "communication is the best way to bring about peace.'' He said he feels it is particularly important for students to get involved, and get -this kind of first hand experience. Kevin Taylor and Senator Kristen Clark cited academic responsibilities as reasons for their resignations. Taylor, a second year data processing major, said he was having difficulty maintaining his studies. Involvement in student government, he said, ''is not conducive to academic pursuits of any kind." When the vice president resigns the president makes a nomination which is voted on by the Senate. ASLCC President Bryan Moore is currently in Nicaragua, helping with the coffee harvest, and will not return until the week of Jan. 13. However, Student Activities Director Jay Jones will present Moore's nomination at today's (Jan. 5) Senate meeting. Also gone from an official capacity, but continuing to volunteer her energy to various ASLCC activities, is Senator Kristen Clark. - In her third year of prepharmacy, Clark said that schedule conflicts prevent her from continuing as a senator. It happens that she has essential classes at the same time as the ASLCC holds its meetings. "I'm down to organic physics and oral biology,'' she told the TORCH, "No way can I be a senator and still do that!'' Thc~P. interested in taking Clark's pla1..,~ on the Senate must: • File. an application at the ASLCC office, 479 Center Bldg.; • Get the signatures of 100 students on a petition; • Attend three consecutive Senate meetings. When these requirements are met the person's candidacy is put to a vote of the ASLCC. The new smoking policy Women's the of Awareness Center ran into difficulties the day after it went into effect. See page 4. The Student Health Clinic offers free walk-in health medical care and low cost lab tests to students. See article, page S. from the Eugene-Springfield area, are also carrying with them twelve boxes of clothing, school supplies, and medical supplies. Moore. said that no ASLCC funds are being used to finance his trip. In fact, he said, it was only through the personal loans of two ''very generous" individuals, that he was able to go on the brigade at all. Moore said he intends to be back for the third week of . classes this term, but Jones · plans to stay in Nicaragua for one and a half months. Peggy Shekell created the winning design for the ASLCC logo contest. Shekell, a freelance photographer, says she decided to enter the contest after she heard about it during her graphic arts class last term. Her design, selected from eight entries, won her $50. ASLCC Communications Director Cathy Benjamin says that ASLCC members believe the logo design "portrays the LCC environment nicely" showing LCC "nestled up in the hills." Cain pus smoking rules adopted On the Inside Today, on the average, a woman works 8 1/2 hours to earn what a man . earns in S hours. See the Forum on page 3. He said he plans to meet with student and government leaders, and hopes to arrange an exchange of US and Nicaraguan student representatives this summer. He says there is a proposal to the USSA (United States Student Association, of which ASLCC is a member) to send a delegation of students to Nicaragua's fifth anniversary celebration this summer. In return he wants to invite Nicaraguan representatives to USSA's annual convention, which Moore says will take place in late July or early August, possibly in Eugene. Moore and Jones, along with a group of six others by Chris Gann Doster appointed Zone 1 rep. TORCH Editor The LCC Board of Education appointed a Zone 1 representative, adopted new campus smoking rules and heard financial reports on increased revenues and expenditures Dec. 14. The board position had been vacant since ·oct. 19, when the late Edward Cooper resigned. Barbara M. Doster will fill the remaining six mon. ths of his term. A resident of Mapleton, . Doster will serve Zone 1 (west Lane County) through June 30, 1984 and says she expects to run for the four-year board position in the March 27 elec_tion. Doster, selected from four candidates for the post, has worked for the US Postal Service for the past 23 years. New smoking rules At the same meeting, the board adopted new restrictions on smoking on campus that bring the college into compliance with the Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act. The new policy states: ''Smoking in College facilities is permitted only in designated smoking areas. Designated smoking areas are: 1) areas officially posted with 'Smoking Permitted' or 'Smoking Area' signs, 2) offices occupied exclusiv~ly by an individual who wishes to allow smoking in that office. Smoking in public meetings is prohibited.'' (See related item, page 4.) Revenues and expenditures to increase The board also adopted a budget development calendar for 1984-85. College staff will begin reviewing funding this month to prepare material for the budget committe which will meet and finalize the budget in March. Vice President for Financial Services Bill Berry outlined expected increases in revenue and expenditures for the board. He said the state appropriation to the college is scheduled to increase by seven percent (although this increase is not finalized yet) in 1984-85 -- an increase of $600,000 over the 1983-84 appropriation. The statutory six percent tax base increase totals about $440,000, also. Pres. Eldon Schafer called the increased revenue positive because ''We've identified approximately $1 million without looking at tuition (increases)." Additional expenditures include the college telephone bill that Berry said is estimated to increase by about $20,000 -- 20 percent. And he said, ''deferred maintenance (projects) and instructional equipment are still. . .high priority'' items that the college still needs to fund.

The Story of the Year by Art Hoppe Syndicated Columnist 1 Here, once again, is the long awaited media event: The Story of the Year. The year began with a Russian satellite about to fall out of the sky, the international banking community on the verge of going belly up, and the Kilauea volcano erupting. President Reagan promptly called a press conference to announce his administration was not in disarray and Oral Roberts held a seven-hour chat with God. The reverend and God talked about how to increase contributions. White House spokesman Speakes said the press should print more "good news." The press printed the good news that the president had certified human rights were improving in El Salvador as only 2,628 civilians had been murdered there lately. Reaganesque To the Editor: Open letter to those elders who were located outside in the bitter cold wind all day Dec. 14, 1983, as the volunteers who distributed milk, butter, cheese to low income LCC students -- a Big .Hearty THANKS!

Not appreciated are the Reaganesque goals in back of it all: • billions of our dollars being used to stockpile and accelerate production of weapons for war -- especially nuclear. • millions of Americans standing in long unemployment lines, as well as in butter,.milk-cheese lines; and now, in Eugene, and other American cities -- soup kitchen lines! Shades of The Great Depression of 1929! Mr. Reagan, does unhealthy processed (free!) cheese appear on your table? Clifton Fadiman stooped to define it: , rt? Other good news included reports that Americans were buying more houses, more romance novels and more Twidds, a device to facilitate thumb twiddling. The New Jersey Generals bought Herschel Walker for $8 million and the government bought Times Beach. This was good news for Herschel Walker. On Feb. 2, pacesetter Alan Cranston became the first presidential candidate to announce a year before the first primary, thereby setting an unenviable pace. It hasn't livened up yet. The president struck back by telling a group of evangelists that we are engaged in a struggle with an "empire of evil" and that our children would be better off dead than red. "Will Reagan Run Again?" asked Newsweek. PROCESSED CHEESE: Solidified floor wax. The triumph of tech~ology over conscience. Surely the richest nation in the world can do better -- in all respects -- by its citizens? To every STUDENTCITIZEN: Money being "allocated" by our government is OUR money -- yours and mine! Is it doing what you want it to do? Don't let YOU:rself -- and the country -- down. You are old enough to vote. REGISTER now! And in November, VOTE! Your future depends on it.

In the field of drama, blockbuster productions included "Winds of War," "Return of the Jedi," "The Day After'' and '' Ronald Reagan Goes to Korea.'' "'Tootsie" and "Ghandi" swept the Academy Awards, thus illustrating 'the importance of dressing funny. By year's end, half the people were worried they would be roasted to death by pollution's "Greenhouse Effect." Half were worried they would be frozen to death by war's "Nuclear Winter." But we should all be gravely concerned, if we're not already, that Oral Roberts, with God's help, hasn't collected much more than $5 million. As for Mr. Reagan, he said the heck with certifying the progress of human rights in El Salvador~ He wasn't going to do it any more. And you really can't blame him. maintenance cost of their telephone transmission_ network to local phone customers by increasing local rates, charging access fees, and requiring a mandatory measured service for all businesses. In Oregon, local phone ' companies are applying to the state public utilities commission for "Access Charges" to maintain their lines and provide long distance calls within the state. Within five years these charges could add up to well over $10 a month on top of the regular phone charges which increased 40 percent in the last year. Measured service means charges are based on length of call, distance, and time of day. Mandatory measured service for business could add up to a 400 percent increase in local rates for such institutions as libraries, primary schools, high schools, or community colleges, whose community based interaction makes local calling a necessity. Why? The Oregon P.U.C. is unwilling to distinguish between profit, non-profit, and tax supported institutions by having one general classification: BUSINESS. Sincerely, Richard Gold established a Federal Communications Commission to regulate and insure a virtual telecommunications monopoly to the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (A.T.&T.) In the 1980's, however, due to the market pressures of an expanding computer industry and rapid advancement in other forms of the communications industry (microwave and satellite), A. T .&T. has been fighting a losing battle with a greater percentage of its larger customers: Corporations who are taking their business to smaller more technologically advanced competitors who provide better service at low~r costs. In order to compete more effectively, A. T .&T. has been ordered by the government to break up its stranglehold on ground based telecommunications and divest its interest in local phone companies.

How would you feel if you were told that as a Spanish instructor you would be paid 2/3 of what a tennis teacher makes? Or, as an auto body repairperson, you only made 60 percent of what an auto painter earns? You wouldn't be pleased, would you? After all, in both cases the jobs performed are on the same skill levels, and require about the same effort and responsibility. But, did you know that day care workers make less than dogcatchers? That nurses make less than the city tree trimmers? That secretaries make about the same or less than janitors? Did you know that a college-educated woman makes less, on the average, than a male high school graduate? Why do these jobs pay less? They're jobs that have traditionally been classified as "women's work." They're not intrinsically less valuable, but traditionally less valuable -- because women perform them. How can this happen? After all, it's illegal to use the paycheck to discriminate: The Federal Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act both say so. For almost 20 years the law has required that men and women performing the same work receive the same wage. But, what if the work is not the same, but comparable? The concept of equal pay for work of comparable worth, considered by some as the civil rights issue of the 80's, is a subject of growing ... controversy. Women continue to earn less, much less, than men. Moreover, the wage gap is widening. According to recent Bureau of Labor statistics, in 1955 a woman who worked full time earned 64 cents for each dollar a man worked. Today she earns 59 cents for each dollar. She works 8 1/2 hours to earn what he earns in five hours. Women make up almost half of today's labor force, but more than 80 percent of all employed women work as clerical workers, service workers, teachers, waitresses, and nurses, earning salaries in 1980 that averaged from $8,000/year for service workers to $15,000/year for teachers. The federal government provides a classic example of labor segregation by sex. In the lowest eight civil service grades -- which are the lowest paying -- 60 percent of the jobs are filled by women. In the highest eight grades -- the highest paying -- 90 percent of the jobs are filled by men. What about LCC? Two jobs which are at the same salary level are those of Secretary I and Custodian I. Briefly, a Secretary I must be able to type at 60 wpm, take dictation at 80 wpm, supervise other clerical employees, and deal with the public. This person must have two years of college or comparable work experience. On the other hand, a Custodian I must be able to operate a vacuum cleaner and a floor waxer, drive a vehicle, and lock and unlock doors. No special skills or previous experience are required. The same is true at the University of Oregon: A beginning secretary makes $737; an entry-level janitor makes $855. It Financial troubles force resignation by Chris Gann TORCH Editor The Media Commission will begin looking for a new editor for Denali this month. Patty McDonald, chosen last May to head the college literary arts magazine, resigned from the post in December.

So be aware. Despite the problem of true economic costs of implementation, despite the problems inherent in subjectively deciding which positions • are comparable, comparable worth is an issue about which we'll all be hearing a great deal in the coming months and years . Reduced Rates -roRCH has positions open for is this occupational segregation of women in our society, more than anything else, that accounts for women's low aven~ge earnings. What's the solution? Those working in "women's jobs" should be paid comparable wages to what is paid others working in different but comparable jobs where they must have a similar level of skill, effort, and responsibility. Progress, though slow, is continuing in this direction: The State of Washington's course of action on wage parity has been determined in U.S. District Court, and the judge has unequivocally rejected claims that the state has unintentionally discriminated against women. He stated that it might have been unintentional 20 years ago, but that claim couldn't be considered valid today. Idaho has implemented a salary system based on pay equity. Oregon is spending $355,000 for a study to gather data on the best means of implementing pay equity for state workers, and will forward recommendations to the 1985 legislature. Several other states have already conducted studies, including Michigan and Connecticut. .... --- .... • ••• 20% off on Pads, Watercolor ·-..:· ·~--~ Blocks, &Hardbound Bks. · - ~~ .~15% off on Triangles, Drafting • Instruments, T- squares • • • . 30% off on all Portable -~ Aluminum Easels 2 '. :: ~(.~;_-:~~--~~;::·-::·.:":/:·~:-.:~~::::,~ :··. :t-·:::.::~~: :<~ :·::~·~~~- ·i(?: ~;\~·( Chartpak sheets (reg. 4.65) $3.96 _::j:. ~2 & other Chartpak items :~.::::~:'. -~~-;;.

The Oregon Department of Transportation estimates that about 200,000 Oregon youngsters are in the age bracket subject to the new law. Last year 13 children under • five years old were killed as passengers in motor vehicles and 852 were injured in Oregon crashes. There are some exceptions to the new law, approved by the 1983 Legistlature. Exceptions are: Commercial vehicles, such as taxicabs; a vehicle manufactured prior to Graphic by Scott Sonek HOWTOBUY TEXTBOOKS ANDSAVE MONEY 1966 and which is not equipped with safety belts; any child , for whom the Motor Vehicles Division issues a certificate of exemption; a child who is a passenger in a vehicle when all seating positions in the vehicle are occupied by other persons; and a resident of another state if that state does not have a similar law in effect. Fi11es for violation of the law cannot be imposed by judges during the first six months the law is in effect. After that, a maximum fine of $20 may be imposed for violating the law. The offense is called "endangering a child passenger.'' DMV officials say people who need to get a child restraint should check carefully to make sure the device is right for their car and their child. Restraints must be approved to meet federal standards. Approved restraints will have a label or tag stating they meet standards. As in public offices all over the state, the Women's Awareness Center staff has tried to develop a smoking policy for the center that is in compliance with the Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act. The new policy that went into effect Tuesday prohibits visitors from smoking in the center during morning hours, but allows smoking in the afternoon. College officials, however, say the policy is not in compliance with the new law, so it's back to the drawing board. . .

How can you deal with sexual harrassment on the job? Or how can you stay warm when you can no longer pay your heating bill? Answers to these questions and information on many other subjects are found in the Women's Resource File located in the Women's Awareness Center on the second floor of the Center Building. The file consists of folders, categorized alphabetically, covering problems and situations most men and women encounter at some time in their lives. Coping with alcoholism, finding childcare in Lane County, and preparing yourself for a job interview are just a few of them. Each file folder is a collection of news clippings, booklets and materials copied from books and magazines. Some contain personal accounts and experiences and relevant laws and legislation. Many people have added material to the file over the years, according to Izetta Hunter, coordinator of the Women's Awareness Center. "It's constantly being added to and updated,'' she said, adding that "the file has been very helpful to students writing papers.'' Anyone coming across material they think would be a useful addition to the file may bring it along to the Women's Awareness Center.

If you're an LCC student enrolled for credit classes or high school completion, the Student Health Clinic is your answer. You needn't make an appointment to obtain that medical care either, according to Anita Overton, the clinic's administrative assistant. Walk-in services are available Monday through Friday when school is in session--excluding summer classes. "Students sign in, we take a history, and they see a nurse. If it is necessary for the person to see a doctor, the nurse arranges that,'' Overton says. The clinic, located in the Student Health -Services Department, 126 Center Building, is staffed by four doctors on a rotation basis. Two nurse practitioners, two registered nurses, a medical technologist, an athletic trainer, a nutrition counselor, and a vision and hearing tester complete the full-time staff. Free services offered by the clinic include: Primary health care, first aid, health counseling, referral, administration of allergy regimes, health education pamphlets,.and V.D. tests and treatments. However, appointments are necessary for vision and hearing tests, the women's clinic, nutrition counseling, consultation with the athletic trainer, and some other services. A partial list of services with Jllinimal fees are: Tuberculin skin tests ($2); pregnancy tests (urine $5), (blood $16); women's clinic ($10); lab tests ($3 and up); and birth control items (depending on type).

The first annual Eugene Indoor track meet boasted almost 2000 competitors. This year, the Eugene Indoor has blossomed into a two-week series of track and field meets, with competition for all ages and abilities. Organizers say the meet's purpose is two-fold: To give track and field athletes with a variety of abilities the opportunity to compete indoors in an all-comers style meet; and to serve as a fund-raising vehicle for some of the area's Olympic-bound athletes, the Oregon International Athletics Team.
