'Both par~ies are trying' . 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, LCC President 1 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.

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. • The Board unanimously passed a resolution calling an 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 of FTE signatures" for valida- tion of a referendum petition. Mann interpreted that to mean IO percent of the Full Time 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. Boardmember Larry Perry said he didn't think Mann should be ''penalized for the mistake of the institution (in ? using ·poor wording).''

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.

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. sends food, medicine, tools and desperately needs food donations to the camps on an almost daily basis. But there are "a lot of mouths to feed" and the present level of aid has not lowered the extremely high mortality rate in the camps. CARGUA For those interested, taxdeductible donations can be sent to CARGUA, Hidalgo 3, San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. There's a Eugene based organization called "Gracias" that deals with the refugee problem and funnels money down to CARGUA.

However, I think now is a good time to remind everyone of a more direct route for those messages. The function of the Disabled Student Services Unit, on campus, is to help create a barrier free environment here at LCC. Anyone who has any concerns should contact us: Bjo Ashwill, Cen. 221, x2239; Dolores May, Cen. 225A, x2236;or George Maumory, Counseling Center, and we will work with you to correct the situation. Because of the ad in the message column, a staff member of the grounds crew showed up at my office, pruning sheers in hand, asking where the offending greenery was, because she had been up and down the ramp looking for it. I generally find LCC willing to fix situations. So please feel dress would probably be an easier place for people to send donations.

The TORCH February 16 - a, 1984 Page 3 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 expressed their concerns about student feedback and instructor evaluations earlier this term, through an ASLCC survey organized by ASLCC Vice Pres. Fran Johnson. Out of 5,080 students who registered during continuing student registration week, 1. What emphasis do you think LCC currently places on student feedback? 2. What emphasis do you think LCC should place on student feedback? 3. In what percentage of your classes at LCC have you been asked to complete an end-of-class survey? 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.

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 MOBILIZATION FOR ANIMALS 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. Page 4 February 16 -fl; 1984 The TORCH 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.

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.

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.

"We think an agreement will be reached by then." He says the main issues blocking agreement hinge on economic and language issues.

Language issues involve lay- Reagan off procedures and workloads, 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.

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. Terrace & Ice Cream Stand VALLEY RIVER CENTER Daily 10 lo 9.

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. 4 He explains that the publishers presume if ·an artist is qualified enough to have a '• showing at one of these ¾J; ~, _, , '"~.,-~,·--· galleries, he/ she is worth singl'<' '-~.W ' ~-L , ing out. / 1 i 1\'' Photographic sculpture is -iv an alternative photography for Joyce.

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.

The TORCH February 16 - a, 1984 Page 7 $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. 'Under the Shadow' a show for all ages .

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. class returns A class en ti tied "Professional Skills for the Visual Artist" will be offered by the LCC Art and Applied Design Department Spring Term 1984. Instructor for this class, now in its sixth year, is David Joyce, artist and LCC instructor.

Professional Skills for the Visual Artist will cover business practices, setting up studios, portfolios, taking slides of work,. matting and framing, display and installation for exhibit and sales, crating and shipping work, marketing options, promotion, grants and other types of community support. Panel discussions, . lectures, guest speakers and practicum sessions will add varied perspectives to each topic. A field trip to Portland art galleries is planned during the term. The comprehensive class is designed for practicing visual artists and art students and can be taken for credit through the LCC Art Department or non-credit through the LCC Adult Education program. Cost of the class is $27 for the term. A text entitled ''The Business of Art,'' edited by Lee Evan Caplan, is also required.

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.

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.

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.

Harrison said, "I wish they were newer and of better quality -- I have none at home and just couldn't do without them.'' Maintenance and repair is the responsibility of the Purchasing Department. Roger Cardinal, head of that department said that in September, 1983, it cost LCC $620 to "acquisition" a typewriter. Servicing of each machine is done annually when classes are not is session. Frank Gladden is in charge of maintenance and repair. He came to LCC in 1979 and has similar reponsibilities at the Downtown TORCH Staff Writer There is no real shortage of typewriters for students use on the LCC campus. Perhaps the real problem is knowing where they are and finding one which is operating efficiently. In the Business Department there are almost 200 IBM Selectrics available to students when classes are not in session. There are 10 typewriters set aside in the Library which can be used on a first-come-firstserve basis. Two students who were using typewriters at the Library last week had almost identical comments. Lori Tambellini and Charlotte Harrison both Center and Cottage Grove. Heavy use of equipment, and careless practices by users, generate most of his problems. He shared some concerns about misuse of equipment, saying, "I call it vandalism -playing with the machine, trying to hold the elements so they won't spin, shoving pen.:: cils down the keyboard." Cardinal suggested, "given reasonable care and handling, seven years of service from a machine is not too much to expect.". Gladden cautioned all users to, "quit using the machine if they see something is wrong \\'.ith it and if you see somebody misusing one, report it (to an instructor)."

Some assumed they were going to contract it and aren't as upset as those who are involved in an exclusive relationship and contract the disease. Most are angry initially; many feel guilty. If someone thinks he or she has genital herpes, the person "should see a medical practitioner and get it confirmed." It's "important to keep the spread to a minimum."

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. The TORCH February 16 -•, 1984 Page 11 Disabled Student Support Group breaks barri~rs by Frederick Cable With this in mind, it's probably no surprise that Counselor Ashwill wants the At one time or another, temporariy disabled -- or almost everyone becomes TAB's --to join a special supdisabled -- even if temporarily, port group for disabled says Bjo Ashwill, a member of students she's attempting to the Counseling Department organize on campus. and adviser to disabled Ashwill says the Disabled students on campus.

So Ash will says bar- feels h~he wants to help solve riers to mobility, which disabl-. problems or concerns of the ed people face every day, disabled. The goals for the could possibly become barriers group will change as campus for everyone. and individual members' for the TORCH 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.'' -Messages-- KENT, I love you.
