Faculty awaits heariryg before negotiating contract

by Holly Halverson

TORCH Staff Writer

LCC faculty members, who
have been working without a
contract ,since July of 1983,
are awaiting a "fact-finding"
hearing to further negotiate
with the college for settlement
of a new contract.
At a Feb. 1 all-faculty
meeting, LCC Education
Association (LCCEA) team
member Steve John said
negotiations began later than
hoped and gave three reasons
for the delay.
He said the first roadblock
was the merging of the LCCEA with the union representing faculty members in Adult

Basic Education/High School
Completion/English as a Second Language. John says
both the LCCEA and the college knew a new contract
would have to involve all these
new groups and deal with the
varying working conditions,
but these complications contributed to longer contract
talks.

Secondly, John said he
hesitated to begin negotiations
while the Oregon legislature
was in session through the
summer and fall. He wanted
to see how its economic decisions might affect schools.
Third,

Eldon Schafer's fear of the
economy hindered talks, John
claims. The college made no
offers whatsoever to the union
until Dec. 13.

Contacted last week, John
told the Torch that college
negotiator Lon Mills made the
Dec. 13 offer but then startled
union team members by immediately
calling
for
"fact-finding." Mills made
the request for fact-finding
"in good faith," John said,
knowing the offer wasn't adequate to please the union, but
the incident started some hard
feelings toward the college,
John claims.

According to Director of
Employee Relations Hank
Douda, fac finding is a phase
of negotiations that is legally
required when employee contract talks are deadlocked. An
impartial "fact-finder'' is
chosen, holds a hearing, then
studies each side's position.
Within 30 days, he/she makes
a recommendation. If one of
the parties rejects the recommendation, and the subsequent mediation phase breaks
down, the faculty union may
then take a strike vote.

But John adds that it's
''very rare'' for both parties to
agree with a fact-finder's con-

clusion. "That's not to say it's
not useful," says John, "it
forms a basis for final agreement."

The fact-finding hearing for
LCC is scheduled for March I.
The college and faculty must
accept or reject the factfinder's report by April 2. The
public will be able to view the
report on April 7.
If the LCCEA or the college
rejects the recommendation on
or by April 7, then, after 30
days, the faculty can give a
10-day notice of its intention
to walk out.

Board hears faculty 'dismay'
by Will Doolittle
TORCH Associate Editor

Faculty dismay, a nine percent budget levy, and Larry
Mann's petition dominated
Wednesday night's meeting of
the LCC Board of Education:
• About 55 people, most of
them faculty, were in the audience as LCC Education
Association President Charlie
Bentz read a statement to the
Board. He said the faculty is
''dumbfounded about the College's apparent attitude
toward the negotiating process" in contract talks. He
pointed out that the faculty
have been working without a
contract since June 30, 1983.
And he said they expect no
results before April 2, 1984,
because of what he called the
College's "delays."

President Schafer said he
hesitated to respond for fear
of engaging in unfair labor
practices, but he hoped that
the College and the faculty
could reach an agreement
soon.

election for May 15, to create
a new tax base of $12,234,198
-- a nine percent increase over
the current six percent limitation.
• Student Larry Mann ap-.'
peared once again before the
Board, Wednesday. Vice
President for Student Affairs
Jack Carter had declared invalid his petition calling for a
student ref~rendum on the $3
student fee. The ASL CC constitution requires "10 percent

tion of a referendum petition.
Mann interpreted that to mean

Equivalent students (a number
obtained from dividing the
total credit hours carried by all
students by 12 credits), or 270
signatures. However, Carter
rejected the petition, because
he said that, although that
clause was badly worded, it
was originally intended to
mean 10 percent of the
registered students, or 680.

Reagan's
85-86
budget cuts
student IOans
But workstudy funds
increased

by Christine Moses
for the TORCH

Included in the 1985-86 budget which President Reagan presented to Congress this month
are proposls to increase funds for College
Work-Study and Guaranteed Student Loans
(GSL), but also to eliminate funding for four
other student aid programs.
Reagan's budget would increase GSL funds
by $586 ·million, to $2.8 billion, and would
eliminate the Supplemental Grant Program,
the State Loan Incentive Grant program, National Direct Student Loans (NDSL), and
Cooperative Education funds.
According to the Chronicle of Higher
Education, the proposed budget would increase the College Work-Study program by
$295 million, making $850 million available
for the program. This increase is the primary
part of a plan to increase the student's responsibility for paying for college.
But the Chronicle asserts that Reagan's administration believes the student should share

the financial burden of a college education,
and therefore Reagan proposes cuts in federal
grants and loans. The ''self-help'' notion will
require the student to apply for federal workstudy and loan program monies first. And only if these funds are insufficient can the student obtain a Pell Grant.
Pell Grant funding would remain the same
if Congress passes the '85 budget, but 290,000
. fewer grants would be awarded, thus reducing
the number of awards made from 2.6 million
to 2.3 million. However, the decrease in the
number of grants awarded would increase the
amount of each grant. The maximuqi Pell
Grant a student could receive would be raised
from $1,900 to $3,000 with a heavier restriction on the income level of the student's family.
At present, 74 percent of the Pell Grants go
to students with family incomes of $12,000 a
year or less. If passed, the budget would raise
the percentage to 80.

CARGUA provides food, medicine for refugees
To the Editor:

San Cristobal de las Casas,
located high in the mountains
of Southern Mexico near the
Guatemalan border, is one of
Mexico's most picturesque
towns, known for its cobbled
streets and colorful Indians. It
is also the headquarters of
CARGUA (the Committee to
Aid Guatemalan Refugees) an
organization aimed at bettering the desperate lot of the
over 50,000 Guatemalan
refugees living in camps in the
jungle to the east of San
Cristobal. These Indians are
escaping from the largely
unreported genocide in northern Guatemala that has

taken the lives of at least 5,000
people during the last year.
Entire villages have been
massacred by the Guatemalan
army.
The Mexican government
doesn't want these people in
Mexico and seems to be
hindering efforts to help them.
This puts the refugees in a
desparate bind -- unable to
return to Guatemala out of
fear for their lives, and unable
to proceed further into Mexico. Malnutrition and disease
are extremely prevalent at the
camps.
According to the people I

talked to at the CARGUA office, the refugees were at first
welcomed sympathetically by
the Mexicans living in the area
of the camps. They thought
the Guatemalans' need for
sanctuary was a temporary
phenomenon that would soon
pass. But now "they keep
coming into Mexico, and
they're having kids and stuff
so there's tension between the
refugees and the local Mex•icans." This tension has
resulted in the refugees being
restricted to their camps, and
being unable to use any of the
available land around the
camps to grow food for
themselves.

Ping-Pong • • • witho tit guilt?
by Arthur Hoppe

Chronicle Features

It was in the winter of 1984 that the scientific
news magazine Discover discovered that sex
was a mistake.
''Sex is an inefficient, risky way for an
organism to reproduce itself," said the
magazine in an article entitled "Why Sex?"
Any time-and-motion study would find it
hopelessly cost-ineffective. Besides, unlike
mitosis, which is infallible, sex often doesn't
work.
All reasonable observers had long viewed sex
. as sweaty, awkward, hard on the back, and,
basically, dirty. But it was the discovery that
sex wasn't perfect that launched the search for
alternatives.
It was not until 1987 that Dr. Homer T. Pettibone, B.L.T., came up with Ping-Pong.
Initially, Ping-Pong proved an ideal
substitute for sex in procreating the human rce.
It was a pleasant, wholesome pursuit, good fun
but not all-consuming. People looked upon it
as a normal human activity, one requiring
cooperation and a certain amount of coordination, but one you could pursue while the kids
were still awake.
"Care for a game of Ping-Pong?" a husband
might politely ask after dinner.
"Oh, I think we have enough children
already,'' the wife would usually reply with a
yawn. "Let's play Parcheesi."
,
Of course, the abandonment of sex caused a
few hardships. The fashion, advertising and
heavy-metal rock industries were hard hit;
Cosmo magazine went bankrupt; and the
Asparagus Fern Bar became a croissant parlor.
_But, by devoting the time, energy and
resources that it used to waste on sex to wor-

I(
~

thwhile purposes, the human race was able to
enter a new era of peace and prosperity. Nor
did it overpopulate the planet, Parcheesi being
just as much fun as Ping-Pong.
Particularly happy were the feminists. For in
Ping-Pong -- just like sex -- the loser had the
baby.
Then disaster struck: Dr. Pettibone, a PingPong nut, lost 17 straight matches to Mrs. Pettibone, who had a wicked backhand. In
desperation, he invented The Pettibone
Rhythm Method of Contraception and thus, as
fate would have it, recreational Ping-Pong.
That did it. Once there was a possibility of
playing Ping-Pong without having children,
Ping-Pong became all the rage, and the
moralists all raged against it. Extramarital
Ping-Pong was either a mortal sin or a Commie
plot or, probably, both, and it therefore swept
the country.
"When you trounced me 21-3," a young lady
might whisper, "I felt the earth move."
'' I will always respect you,'' the young
gentleman would gallantly reply.
A rejuvenated Cosmo came out with a fullspherical cover photograph of a nude PingPong ball. Topping the best-seller lists were
kinky books like "Diff'rent Strokes" and "The
Joy of Paddling." And across the land, PingPong tables were removed to master bedrooms,
where often was heard, ''Not tonight, I sprained my wrist.''
So, inexorably, in a nation passionately
preoccupied with Ping-Pong above all else, this
formerly pleasant, wholesome, normal activity
became sweaty, awkward, hard on the back,
and, basically, dirty.
Thus the human race went on procreating
itself as it had for millions of years: hit or mi&s.

Hero of the future liable to be a skinny wimp
by Paul McFarlane

TORCH Staff Writer

Floppy discs, bytes,
microchips, and monitors
are just some words in the
strange growing language
of computerese. Obviously
the computer is here to stay,
and with it the incredible
impact of the information
revolution. But how the impact of this computer
revolution will affect us is
anybody's guess.
The computer revolution

could change attitudes and
values, including our role
models. In the past little
boys wanted to be cowboys
and firemen and looked up
to heroes like Superman
and John Wayne. The hero
of the future is liable to be
some skinny wimp with
glasses, pecking away vital
information on a keyboard,
and little boys will want to
be programmers and
''hackers.''
Perhaps every four years
"computer athletes" from

countries worldwide will
battle over keyboards and
joy-sticks in the Video
Olympics. Events will include Centipede, Donkey
Kong, and Asteroids, as
well as the famous Pacman
marathon. The sellout attraction, of course, will be
the Missile Command
event, with the United
States and the Soviet Union
going for the gold.
Computer crime will probably skyrocket. Criminals

using computers will rob
banks, terrorists will
sabotage and delete vital information, and shoplifting
software will become
epidemic. Police will have
to counter this crime wave
with "hacker squads" or
chips patrols (silicone variety).
The computer revolution
might
bring
about
physiological changes in
people, and with that a
whole new host of medical

problems. Tennis elbow
and shin splints will be
replaced by keyboard
finger, monitor squint, and
terminal butt (the result of
remaining sedentary for inordinate periods of time).
Hopefully, the effects of
the computer revolution
won't be this bad, but it
does require some thought.
I think I'd better take computer science 101 next term
and learn what the hell a
floppy disk is.

Realistic solutions sought for better feedback
TORCH Staff Writer

1,373 filled out the voluntary
survey, which consisted of·
three questions:

Exactly 1,373 LCC students

2. What emphasis do you

3. In what percentage of

by Mike Newby

Participants were asked to
rank questions 1 and 2 in five
categories -- very low, low,
medium, high, and very high.
The ASLCC reported the
following results to question 1:
• 8.75 percent of students
surveyed thought current emphasis was very low.
• 23.35 percent perceived the
input as low.
• 47.44 percent felt current
emphasis was in the medium
range.
• 17 .94 percent rated current
feedback as high,
• 2.45 percent perceived the
college's emphasis to be very
high.
Over 70 percent of the people who responded to the
survey responded in the low
and medium ranges.
Furthermore, the survey indicated that students' desire
for future emphasis on feedback was great. Responding to

MFA claims tests causing unnecessary suffering

by Melissa Sparks

for the TORCH

Mobilization for Animals
(MFA), a coalition•of over 400
animal rights groups, is attempting to bring into the
public eye the kinds of tests
animals are used for in local
research laboratories.
On Feb. 23 at 1 p.m. and
again Feb. 24 at 4:30 p.m.,
MF A will show a film entitled
"Tools for Research" in
Forum 307. The movie
discusses how animals are used
in research and alternatives
that are currently available.
Meetings will follow both
showings.
''Extensive animal research
is going on in our community," states Jan Golick, coordinator of Oregon MFA. In
response to a question she posed to the Animal Services at
the U of 0, Golick says Director Greg Stickrod told her at
least 35 different experiments
were cited as of July 1983.
"This is just a partial list,"
Golick claims.

Some of the experiments she
says Stickrod lists in his letter
were fetal brain transplants in
rats, and the use of
6-hydroxydopamin on cats.
Ninety percent of all animals
are put to death at the conclusion of the experiments.
Monkeys, mice, bats and
hamsters are also among the
long list of animals used. "The
National Institute of Health
regulates the use of animals in
research, such as cage size,
feeding and cleaning, but they
(the animals) are not protected
by law. Animals' vocal cords
have been severed to keep
them from crying out in
pain," Golick maintains.
"They (the scientists) view life
in a myopic way. Knowledge is
foremost, and there is no consideration to the animals."
One of the key concerns of
MF A is the unnecessary
duplication of animal experiments in the US. "It's not
the cancer research. There is a
need for that, but redundant
experiments such as in
psychology is different,'' says

Blueaura Meadow, LCC adviser to the MF A group on
campus. Meadow cites
psychological experiments
where newborn primates are
removed from their mother

and placed on a wire mesh
dummy. This is done, she
says, to determine the damage
done to an infant from lack of
stimulation and caring. ''Once
you get their reaction -- how

many times does it need to be
repeated?" LCC performs no
experiments of this nature or
any other kind involving
,nimals.
The Stickrod letter from the
U of O states that experiments
must not be found to be a
duplication of other experiments or the experiment
will not receive funding. But
Golick claims there is no central system in place at the U of
0 to determine if an experiment is in fact being repeated
and is now just a moot point.

Mobilization for Animals is
seeking to increase people's
awareness of what occurs in
laboratories. Last April, for
example, it held simultaneous
conferences across the United
States and in Europe, with attendance topping 20,000. In
Oregon, MFA's goal is to
close the Oregon Regional
Primate Research Center near
Beaverton. A 24-hour vigil will
be held April 24 to draw attention to the problems MFA sees
there.

Deacon places emphasis on
being available for peop le
by Joan Hite

for the TORCH

As the only ordained
woman ever to work at Campus Ministry at LCC, Rev.
Penny Berktold, an Episcopal
Deacon, sees her role as
representing the official
Church and being a friend to
those who need help or just
want to talk.
By placing an emphasis on
being available for people,
rather than teaching, she says
she hopes to imitate Christ and
His emphasis on presence instead of performance.
The director of Campus
Ministry, Roman Catholic
priest James Dieringer, says
Rev. Berktold's success at
counseling is due to her special
skills -- helping the sick, the
dying, and the elderly. Recently she was able to help an LCC
staff member cope with the
death of a parent.
Father Dieringer also says
Berktold is very skilled at helping people who are involved
with drugs or alcohol. And as

a mother, she's better able to
relate to other women with
children, he says, and also
those pursuing a -career,
because she has the experience
of being a woman in a nontraditional job.

Rev. Berktold has a degree
in social work, and was ordained as an Episcopal
Deacon in 1982. Before moving to Eugene she and her husband, an Episcopalian priest,
spent a several years working
in an English-speaking church
in Brussels.
Besides Belgium and her
native England, Berktold has
seen quite a bit of the rest of
the world while living on
various military bases. During
that time she worked with the
chaplaincy departments on
each base to help give support
to other military wives.
She began working at LCC
less than a year ago after attending a meeting of the
Ministerial Association held at
LCC last spring and hosted by
Campus Ministry's director,
Father Dieringer.

Rev. Berktold is organizing
a student club this term called
"The Canterbury Club." She
says it will be of special interest to Episcopalians and
will focus on discussions of the
Bible and other religious
material. She hopes the club
will begin meeting in February
during the lunch hour.

Rev. Berktold only works at
LCC on Wednesdays, from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m., spending the
balance of her time between
LCC and St. Mary's Church in
Eugene. Her husband is the
rector of St. Mary's, making
them the only clergy couple in
the Episcopal Diocese of
Oregon, and she says her work
at LCC isn't very different
from her job at St. Mary's.
In both instances she
counsels people and helps
them with problems. At St.
Mary's she's the head of Adult
Education and other areas
such as pastoral care, which
includes visits to nursing
homes.

The solution is devised by placing the sprinters' running times in the

still your idea of a word processor then
you may be wasting time or· at least
missing out on all the fun.

by Diane Prokop

Computerized word processing can
do great things for a person. Among
other things, it can make an otherwise
messy person organized and efficient,
and that means more time to spend doing the things one really enjoys. It also
encourages creativity because you can
change sentences around in a matter of
seconds without taking the time to
completely start over. If it doesn't look
right, you can change it back -- no problem. At the very least, you can produce documents that are 100 percent
typographically correct, without the
use of erasers or messy Liquid Paper.

Probably one of the most common
uses for the personal computer is word
processing. If your No. 2 lead pencil is

• You will need to determine what
kind of word processing you will be doing. If you are going to write a novel
you will need a word processor that
allows you to produce a document that
is only limited to the capacity of your
disk drive. Most of the less expensive
programs can handle only a couple of
pages at a time.

• Search and Replace features allow
you to, for instance, look for all occurrences of the name Jones and change it
to Smith. Good if you are doing form
letters or for correcting mistakes.
• Word Wrap is a feature that lest
you forget about the carriage return
that you usually have to hit on a

~The survivors will envy the .dead'
by Will Doolittle

TORCH Associate Editor

The unleashed power of the
atom has changed everything
save our modes of thinking,
and thus we drift unthinking
toward catastrophe. -- Albert
Einstein
Averting catastrophe by
changing our modes of thinking was the theme of the first
LCC meeting of World
Beyond War, held last Monday, Feb. 13 ·in the Board
Room.
Two films underscored that
theme. ''The Last Epidemic''

featured a number of experts
describing, in graphic terms,
the medical consequences of a
contemporary nuclear conflict. Said one of the speakers:
''The survivors will envy the
dead."
The other film, "No
Frames, No Boundaries,'' examined the physical and mental boundaries that humans
create to separate themselves
from one another. These
boundaries, said the film, prevent people from seeing each
other's common interests.
This leads to the ''us and
them'' mentality from which
war is born.

• There is a decision to be
made. Each person must
decide to eliminate selfimposed boundaries that
separates her/him from
others.
• Action is necessary. Each
person must take action, ac• War is•obsolete.Because • cording to his or her own perthe advent of nuclear weapons sonality and situation, that

Organizers of the event,

people in attendance that
World Beyond War is a national educational project. Its
basic philosophy, they say, is:

Ashwill and Wynia said they
plan to hold similar events at
LCC on the second Monday of
each month. They hope to get
at least five percent of the
LCC population actively involved by the November elections.

He says the main issues

Economic issues include signing a one year or two year contract; settling on a dollar

then deciding how to

the different faculties.
Language issues involve lay-

among other things.
In a Feb. 9 LCCEA newsletter to faculty members, John
and negotiating team members
Sharon Hagan and Susan
Monteith claimed Schafer
doesn't want a two-year contract and through his influence
brought a Feb. 8 meeting between the two sides to a halt.
"If Schafer does indeed
want an agreement, it seems he
wants it only on his terms with
no regard for our concerns
and no willingness to com-

promise whatsoever. We are
preparing for the March 1
fact-finding hearing."
Schafer was out of state and
not available for comment.
College negotiator Hank
Douda responded, saying,
"We have a difference. The
needs of the college, as have
been identified by the president, just don't coincide with
the needs of the faculty at this
time. That's what bargaining
is all about. Both parties are
trying. We're going to get
there."

The 1985-86 student
loan/ grant budget is nearly the
same that Reagan proposed
for 1984-85, and which Congress
rejected.
Most
lawmakers continue to support subsidizing all of the present student aid programs.
Ed Vignoul, University of
Oregon Financial Aid director, says he doubts Congress
will pass Reagan's '85 budget
proposal during an election
year. And he says "I can't imagine the Congress of the
United States would do away
with educational opportunity.
The whole point of financial _
aid is to provide funds for low

income students."
Vignoul says the primary
issue for fiscal year '85 is the
continuation of the Title IV
programs -- NDSL, GSL, Pell
Grants, Supplemental Grants,
State Loan Incentive Grants
and Cooperative Education
funds, which are due to be
reauthorized at the end of the
fiscal year 1984. •
LCC Financial Aid Director
Linda Waddell had no comment about the 1985 budget,
which would take effect Oct.
1, 1985. "I don't worry about
the '85 budget, because a lot
can happen between proposal
and approval,'' she said.

Instructor nominated for Who's Wh o
Who? David Joyce, that's who!
by Nancy Stedman

for the TORCH

"Who's Who in American
Art,'' a book which lists the
finest of Canadian and
American artists, has included
David Joyce in its 1984 edition.
Joyce, an instructor in
LCC's Art and Mass Communication Departments, is
the first LCC instructor ever
to be nominated for the book.
It's a way of being
acknowledged by his fellow artists, Joyce says. The book,
which is published every two
years, contains well over
10,000 names, and is a good
"resource directory," Joyce
says.
The publishers review exhibitions at distinguished art
galleries nationwide, and
choose from artists whose
work is on display. Joyce was
showing his photo-sculptures
at the University of Portland's
Buckley Gallery when the
publishers contacted him:
"This certainly wasn't my top
show,'' Joyce says, but he was

-

pleased by the recognition
nevertheless.

He explains that the

draising efforts which are expected to net $53,000.
The 23-year old transmitter
has failed on numerous occasions, sometimes forcing
KLCC off the air. Chief
Engineer Steve Barton cites excessive labor costs when the
transmitter malfunctions, and
difficulty in obtaining replacement parts as the reasons that
necessitate replacing the unit,
which stands atop Blanton
Heights. The $53,000 would
be used to purchase a new
transmitter.
"It's on its last legs," says
Paula Chan-Gallag her,
Development director for
'KLCC.
With this new transmitter,
KLCC would be also be able

to boost the strength of its
signal from the current 30,000
watts to what the station hopes
will be 87,000.
This power boost would
supply a stronger signal to
some geographic areas which
the station attempts to serve,
such as Portland and
Roseburg. The boost would
also permit the signal to reach
some areas which currently
have no public radio broadcasts available to them.
Over 700 residents of the
Bend area petitioned KLCC a
year ago, to install a translator
in their region because no
public radio broadcasts were
available to them. This
translator was installed just
before the fall 1983 radiothon,

extending KLCC's signal to
Central Oregon. There are
also translators for KLCC's
signal in Oakridge, Florence,
and Cottage Grove.
KLCC hopes to have its new
transmitter in operation by the
fall of 1984.
The FCC recently ruled that
public radio stations whose
classifications make them
eligible for a power boost must
implement the change within
the next few years.
Since KLCC is a public
radio station, its operation is
not supported by the sale of
commercial advertising. LCC
provides about 50 percent of
KLCC's normal operating
budget, the Corporation for

Public Broadcasting (CPB),
which is a federal organization, provides 14 percent; and
the remaining 36 percent is acquired from underwriters or
contributors.
The Oregon Arts Commission recently granted $3,000 to
KLCC to be used toward the
transmitter purchase. KLCC
has also obtained $20,000
from the CPB and $5,000
from the fall 1983 radiothon.
Chan-Gallag her
say s
another $5,000 is earmarked
from the upcoming spring
radiothon and a grant proposal has been submitted to
the Burlington-N orthern
Foundation Inc. for the final
$20,000.

$8,000 is still needed

for stained glass mura_l

by Nancy Stedman

For the TORCH

A splash of color will
brighten the Center Building
this spring with a 20 by 25 foot
stained glass mural over the
entire second floor foyer.
Tenold Peterson, an LCC
part time art instructor and
seven of his present and
former students have joined
efforts on the estimated
$10,000 project.
Money has not come easily
for the group. It's currently
raised $1, 700 through the sales
of stained glass medallions,
but still needs $8,000 more.
Peterson seemes optimistic in
raising the remainder. "We've
been soliciting some of the
larger businesses in the area
and have asked the student
body for $1,000."
The artists working on the
mural are ''giving'' these
stained glass medallions to
persons donating money to the
project. For a $10 donation, a
small medallion is given and a
large medallion for a $25 contribution.
Medallions are being sold
"at the Saturday Market,
around the community and
here on campus." says Kitty

Seymour, the Art and Applied
Design secretary.
These medallions have
various uses: Some dona tors
wear them as necklaces, hair
ornaments, or just to hang in a
window. "Each one has a little
different effect,'' says Pat
Williams, head of LCC's
- Development Fund, whose
medallions have taken on a
new form. She's designed into
a mobile which she-proudly exhibits in her office. "It's been
a neat way to display them."
LCC is insuring the mural
for $40,000. Why so much?
Pet~rson values his time alone
on the project at $15,000,
that's approximately $25 per
hour.
Peterson and his fell ow artists hope this project will help
them gain recognition in the
community and lead to future
jobs. Previously, the City of
Eugene has sought stained
glass work from out of state.
The artists first decided to
create the mural last summer.
'' We wanted to try something
large,'' Peterson said. Time,
as well as money has been an
obstacle for the artists. Currently, they meet twice weekly
in the Art Department.

While some students require
access to "state-of-the-art"
equipment for training, very
often Aviation Mechanics
students get their best training
on old equipment.
The Aviation Maintainence
Program has been operating
since LCC began, but its training site is now housed in one
building at LCC plus a hanger
at the Creswell Airport.
Most of the training equipment comes from donors.
Boeing and the military are
two big donors to the LCC
program, says Mechanics
Department Chair, Howard
Dull. The equipment comes to
LCC only because of the college's recurring contacts with
companies.
Five weeks out of the term,
some students spend time at
the airport getting actual '' In
The Field Experience,'' says
Dull. Students perform light
maintainence on the airplanes
in addition to performing inspections that are required on
aircraft after operational
periods.

Dull says that LCC may be
the only community college in
Oregon that offers the "In
The Field Training.'' He states
that the students have a better
chance of finding a job after
they get th~ir certificates
because of the experience.

And the Cooperative Work
Experience program at LCC
helps the students find jobs
while they are attending LCC.
After completion, students
often look for work out of
state because of the low demand of aircraft maintainence
personnel needed in Oregon,
says Dull.

DIALOG saves time and money
by Sheri Feinstein

for the TORCH

With one more terminal and
one more trained specialist to
serve students, the LCC
Library expects increased access to the DIALOG computerized library reference
system by the end of this term.
The DIALOG system -- a
pooling of about 180 computerized indexes, or data
bases -- provides more
frequently-updated
bibliographical information
from a larger number of topic

headings than do the library's
traditional indexes, such as the
Reader's Guid~ To Periodical
Literature.
The usual charge for a
DIALOG literature search
ranges from $3 to $15, depending on the student's oncomputer time and the number
of items he/she requests from
the system. Average searches
take about five minutes once
the user and assisting librarian
have determined the exact
topic to be referenced.
A recent DIALOG search of
about 20 minutes yielded information which student Dale
Sinner says he could have
spent "hours and hours" seeking in the printed indexes. He
says that the $21.50 search for
term paper data relating to
anti-American protest was
''worth it to me to save the
stress and the time,'' and that
the references he obtained
were "just the kind of stuff I
was looking for."
According
to
LCC
Reference Librarian Mitch
Stepanovich, who specializes

in automated references,
students wishing to use
DIALOG must generally make
an appointment for a time
when he and the computer terminal are available. The terminal prints out the data provided via a telephone link to
DIALOG headquarters in
Palo Alto, CA.

At times, when the terminal
is occupied with library
cataloging functions, or when
Stepanovich is not available,
students have no access to
DIALOG. But this term the
library expects to have a second terminal available, and
librarian Don Ownbey is to be
trained as a second specialist.
Once DIALOG's accessibility is improved, Stepanovich
says he can more actively
publicize the service, to which
LCC began subscribing in
April of 1981. Since the
DIALOG function must
sometimes interrupt cataloging, he has been cautious
about over-promoting use of
the system.

Titans slash two,
tied for first

LCC Women back

on track and ready
for NWAACC Tourne y

by Dennis Monen

TORCH Sports Editor

The Titans rounded out an easy victory over
Umqua Community College Feb. 8, 87-64. The
team then hit the road Feb. 11 and toppled Mt.
Hood in a close basketball victory 57-54.
LCC had a 10 point lead going into the half
against Umqua, 42-32, but started feeling Umpqua's defensive pressure at the start of the second
half. Umpqua was within five points until Dalke
and Merlau decided to show Umpqua the Titan
system, both nearly dominated the board with rebounds.
The pressure might have been a little less intense
for the Titans had starting guards Brent Rice and
Kevin Leonard not been benched with ankle injuries. Dalke, Merlau and Bloom, however,
managed to keep the system together to make up
for the absences.
Double digit scorers were: Dalke, 18; Bloom,
16; Merlau, 14; and Fox, 11.
At Mt. Hood, Merlau continued to edge the
backboard to assist with tip-ins or snag rebounds.
He rebounded 11 times for his game high in rebounding that night.
Jon Dalke netted 6 of 8 and racked up 14
points. Bloom lead in game points with 19, Maahs
scored 10, and Merlau 8.
LCC is now tied for first place with Chemeketa,
both teams are 10-1. The Titans will host LinnBenton Feb. 15 in the final conference game. Playoff ties will be Feb. 17 and 18, location and times
still to be arranged. The NWAACC tournaments
first round for second and third place will be
played Feb. 25, the time and place for these games
is also to be arranged.

It was a good week of
basketball for the LCC
Women Titans as they went
back to their winning ways
c;tfter having suffered three
losses in their last four
outings.
On Feb. 8, the Timberwomen of Umpqua came to
Lane and played the Titans a
tough first half, trailing by only two, 25-23. Lane's Konnie
Denk and Umpqua's Dina
Swan battled it out early.
Denk poured in Lane's first 10
points and Swan had six of
UCC's first eight, but that's
where the fireworks stopped -at least for the Titans. After
leading 12-10, Lane was held
scoreless for nine minutes and
fell behind 22-12 before Denk
hit a pair of free-throws to
spur the Titans to a 23-1 scoring binge.

The Titans then stretched
their league record to 8-3 (15-8
overall) with a 70-63 victory at
Mt. Hood on Feb. 11. Lane
again led by two at halftime,
31-29, and rode on from there
-- on the strength of Shari

decision.
Lane was powered by their

Typewriters are plentiful around campus

Maintenance and repair is

There is no real shortage of
typewriters for students use on

real problem is knowing where
they are and finding one which

Newspapers must
keep pace with
changing consumers
by Paul Mcfarlane
TORCH Staff Writer

"We must not only
preserve our freedoms, but
deserve them" emphasized
the founder of the
newspaper USA Today in a
speech last Friday at the
University of Oregon. Allen
Neuhearth spoke at the
63rd Oregon Press Conference, on the future of the
newspaper industry.
Neuhearth is president
and chairman of the Gannett Co., the nation's
largest media company,
which owns 85 daily
newspapers with a circulation of over four million.
''The
information
revolution has changed our
world" said Neuhearth.
Newspapers must not only
keep pace with evolving
technology, he said, but
must adapt their philosophy
to best serve a changing
consumer.
Neuhearth has tried to
meet these criteria in USA
Today, the nation's only
national general interest
daily newspaper, which he
founded in September,
1982. Technology has a big
part in the success of USA
Today, because national
newspapers would be impossible without satellites.
To meet the changing needs
·of the reader, USA Today
has been "acclaimed and
accursed'' for its concise
writing style and attentiongrabbing color graphics.
The newspaper is praised
by some for its attempt to
serve a growing need, and
criticized by others as a
newspaper for "people that
don't have time to read."
Nehearth refutes this,
stating that USA Today is
the country's third largest
daily paper and has more
information per issue than
all but four or five dailies
nationwide.

situations· change. So far this
term, five students have shown
interest. That number is about
one percent of the estimated
554 disabled students attending LCC.
Aswhill stresses the importance of the support group in
bringing barriers to the attention of the LCC community.
The group would like to attract ''interested and ablebodied" people to help on the
long-term problems facing the
disabled, such as structural
barriers.
Last October, in a special
supplement to the TORCH,

Ashwill helped identify several
structural barriers to the
disabled -- the Library doors,
for example, which are a
heavy and awkward obstacle,
and some ramps which are too
steep for the wheelchairbound, to name another.
However,· Ashwill says the
Library doors are scheduled to
be automated by the e,nd of
winter term, and signs now
warn of steeply inclined
ramps.
She says the expenses involved in automating the .
doors are considered as
"remodeling and college 1m-

provement" costs and thus
will be expended from the college General Fund. This
bothers Ashwill, who notes the
irony in the federal government's mandate to public
agencies to make public
facilities accessible to the
disabled, and its failure to
allocate federal funding to
assist the local • institutions
which have strained budgets to
begin with.
But she says that "any architectureal barriers that we
eliminate will help the Temporarily Disabled as well as the
disabled.''
