Governor proclaims community college week ''Each college works closely with the public and private sectors in a partnership to deliver comprehensive services to the business community. Last year, over 250,000 individuals and 5,000 different businesses took advantage of the services and resources available at the community colleges. The community colleges have kept pace with the high technology needs of the 80's by being flexible and willing to change. The institutions provide over 600 specific Community College Awareness Week is observed March 1-7 in 1984. In a proclamation he will issue that week, Gov. Vic Atiyeh states: "Oregon's 13 community colleges and two community college service districts are important to Oregon's economic well-being. The 15 college districts have demonstrated that they are a part of the solution to Oregon's economic recovery. training programs in 150 areas -- many of which are short-term programs designed to train an individual in less than 180 days. ''The community colleges also provide low-cost, quality educational opportunities to those who need to complete their high school education; want to begin work on a four-year degree; need upgrading of work-related skills; want vocational training to become employable; or want to enrich their lives. "Therefore, as Governor, I hereby proclaim the period of March 1-7, 1984, as "Community College Awareness Week" and ask that all Oregonians recognize the import ant contribution that community college board members, administrators, faculty, staff and students make to our state."

The following day, an ad hoc committee will make recommendations to the Media Commission on how to restructure the organization of the publication. Brown describes the contents of the upcoming publication as ''short fiction, poetry, and a little art work." Another issue is expected in May. The status of Denali became tenuous this year, with problems coming to a head after the resignation of the editor, art 'editor, and production manager in December. An ad hoc committee was subsequently formed to study the problems the publication was having and to make specific -recommendations to the Media Commission that would hopefully improve the magazine's chances for successful publication. "We're considering a very rigid structure,'' says ad hoc committee membe~, Pete Peterson·. The structure would include publication of six to nine issues per year on inexpensive paper, with no retail charge for the publication. Also, Vice President for Student Services Jack Carter has tentatively approved a plan to employ a part-time techni~al advisor who would deal with the "nuts and bolts" functions of the publication which are now performed by language arts advisers. Denali currently receives $1500 from Student Services and $500 from the ASLCC. Denali continued on page 5 '' A lot of times people feel helpless to change the situation around them.

Page 2 February 23 - 29, 1984 The TORCH Free For All Editorials, letters,.commentary Two Torch staffers will leave at end of this term by Chris Gann TORCH Editor LCC students come and go regularly. They leave for jobs and for other educational programs as a matter of course. LCC is a waystation where we prepare ourselves for the "real" world. Another student or two leaving LCC is nothing to get emotional about. .. we expect to leave sometime in that near, yet far off, future. That's right. And wrong. Because it really matters just who those people are. For the TORCH, it will be a big loss when two students depart LCC at • the end of this term: TORCH Associate Editor Will Doolittle moves across town to a nearly-full-time job as a videographer for KEZI-TV; and TORCH Production Coordinator Sharon Johnson is off to the snowy plains of Minnesota, to marriage, and to Mankato State University. munity. But his trademark has been his editorials, often about racism: The deep roots it has in our culture, the control it holds over us, the "ugly reality" of it. So I'm experiencing a duality of emotions at their leavetaking. I'm happy. They're realizing goals and pursuing careers in that bigger world outside LCC. But the TORCH, and LCC, I believe, will miss them. This was work readers did notice. His observations weren't always comforting to read because they often hit a tender spot. But that discomfort, might, just might, prod us to change something -- the way we accept without thinking, the ingrained racism of our language, media and judicial system. Sharon's work often goes unnoticed. And that's the way it should be since she's been responsible for the overall look of the paper (alignment of headlines and copy) through consistent format. Her job requirement was to be "picky," she says, and her pickiness made the rest of us look good. So these are two students the TORCH staff will miss. You readers may miss seeing (or not seeing) their skills and professionalism exhibited in these pages next term, too. As associate editor, Will covered stories on campus and in the com- Bye, you two. Good luck. Forum----- Mann, Chase explain opposition to fees At about this time some of the ASLCC senate members, who attended a Community Colleges of Oregon Student Associations and Commissions (CCOSAC) meeting found that the MSF collected by the ASLCC was one of the lowest in the state. With little thought as to why students at other Community Colleges would pay more, the ASLCC blindly set out to make the LCC MSF higher. The advisor to the ASLCC was given the instructions to "Do whatever you can" to establish the Photo ID program as mandatory and therefore increase the $1.30 MSF to a higher level. Because the Photo ID program was expected to generate more funds than the ASLCC thought they would need, they gave their c $15,000 in vending machine money to § the college. ::e ·a Larry Mann (left) and Tim FORUM by Larry Mann and Tim Chase Sometimes we offer the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of ·thought. -- JFK Wasteful over-spending has resulted in a reduction in student government services. Programs once funded by the $1.30 Mandatory Student Fee (MSF) are threatened with either reduction or elimination. What has caused this major change in services? Why are students the last to hear of the spending policies of their representatives? Where did the $75,000 in $3 student fees go? I have asked these questions of different ASLCC members. No one could find a reasonable explanation for the lack of control the senate appears to have used. Because of the depth of discussion this response to the TORCH "Free for All" of Jan. 28 and the above questions will be divided into two parts. Part One is a review of the Photo ID program its history, development, and effect on the school and students, with an emphasis on the ASLCC budget. On May 11, 1983 the LCC Board of ~ Education was asked to allow the }; ASLCC to hold an election to increase 0 the MSF. The Board asked two ques0 f tions of the ASLCC representative.

The direct expenses for the Photo ID program have sky-rocketed from the proposed $17 ,000 to about $25,000. , The development of the Photo ID program as it is today has been the result of many--hours of work by the administration. This investment of time has' paid off in savings and increased speed of services in many deptartment and service areas. Although a dollar amount has not been placed on these savings to the school, its value is much greater than the $25,000 the ASLCC now pays in expenses. Unfortunately all costs are paid by the students. The $15,000 given in lieu of the right to produce the ID and the $25,000 in direct cost are all paid from funds that otherwise would be used to fund ASLCC programs. Also the library use of the bar code on the Photo ID swamped the library computer system causing a 4 month delay in its use. Two points should be made at this time. One, why was the $15,000 given to the school not mentioned on the ballot. Don't students have the right to know exactly when and where such a large amount of money is given away? The second point is in response to the claim that the school would charge students for the ID card if it took over the program. If the school continues to receive the $15,000 as it does now and receives the savings associated with the use of the ID how can it justify charging students for something that pays for itself? In conclusion I would like to point . out that the $3 MSF was never designed to "maintain" the programs the $1.30 MSF provided as stated on the ballot. The number of ASLCC funded services will be reduced by an increasing rate until the Photo-ID is dropped as a student funded program. To do this students must vote in a board approved election. I believe that a student initiative petition is the proper way to force change on an unyielding and selfish ASLCC senate. Some other questions worth con- Ive go i~j';;,P;:3 ~ ~ "'1111f- (n 1,.. '1 :: .,,, ~,'!t.b;,-J --;, sideration are also raised by the ASLCC spending practices. Why did the ASLCC President receive hourly remuneration for Dec. and Jan. when in December students were only on campus until the 19th and in January the ASLCC President was in Nicaragua. Why do LCC students pay to be a member of the USSA when we are already members of CCOSAC, a . member of USSA? Why do we pay for sending the ASLCC president to USSA meetings on the East coast when the CCOSAC representative has this responsibility? How many students know that the ASLCC loaned the BSU $850 to back a fund raiser for US Presidential candidate Jesse Jackson? How will the BSU pay this money back? Part two will discuss the effect these spending practices have on the ASLCC budget.

The annual award, from the League for Innovation in the Community College, recognizes a college staff member who has designed and implemented a significant innovation at their college. Last year, LCC's award went to Spanish instructor Arden Woods for her implementation of the computer in teaching Spanish, and for the development of a computer program that is of interest nationally. Anyone -- either inside or outside the college -- may nominate any LCC employee for the honor. The award recipient is chosen from the nominees by a five-member committee, consisting of management, faculty, and classified personnel, as well as two community members. Nominations should be submitted to Larry Warford, League representative, in the President's Office, Administration Building, ext. 2302. The deadline for nominations is March 16, 1984. Nominations for innovation will be judged on the following criteria: • Quality -- Increases quality in the course, office or institution. • Efficiency -- Contributes to efficiency in its area. • Cost effectiveness -- Adds value to the institution while containing or reducing costs. • Replication -- Can easily be used by other institutions. • Creativity -- The program is original and/ or creative. • Timeliness -- The program is no more than five years old, but old enough to meet most of the other criteria. Letters Disappointed To the Editor: I'm very disappointed in this administration's handling of our teachers' contract. I don't consider myself very much of an expert on the subject, but of course that's why I'm here at LCC to learn. Maybe if I offered my opinion with a few suggestions for the "fact-finder," she/he could help resolve the contract difficulties faced by our teachers and administrators. • Pay our teachers $40,000-plus, depending on their position, length of tenure, and responsibilities. • At these salaries they would actually be paid what their jobs are worth and could suffer through a 2.5 to 3 percent raise with $50 towards their retirement per month, also, of course. • Pay Charlie Bentz $60,000-plus per year to negotiate directly with the Board for his contract as well as all the other people's contracts he negotiates. • Have contract negotiations moved up to June or July when less people are around to disturb this difficult process of intricate negotiations and/ or bothersome news reporters around to ask questions. Nicaraguan legislator addresses women's roles, connection to society's problems to consideration the place that we have conquered in our society. So we were there.'' As the editor of the women's magazine So mos, and editorial writer for BarSandinista a ri cad a, newspaper, Enriguez said that she thought the attitude of the national news media about the reporting of women is truly revolutionary. ''The image of Nicaraguan women,'' she said, "is now reflected in our news media exactly as it is. "A woman who is a member of the militia. . . who is an educator. . .who vaccinates the children. . .who studies at the university. . .who is learning to drive a tractor. . .who is an air force pilot. . .who is a police woman. . .a woman who is also a mother, but who has understood that her children are not only those who come out of her body, but are all of the Nicaraguan children -- that is the image that is projected. For the first time in our lives, the news media is really at the access of the people." She freely admits that this may seem to be a contradiction to those who have heard that censorship exists in Nicaragua. She explained that it exists "on two things: On economic issues that can pro- by Ed Bishop TORCH Staff Writer Magda Enriguez, who represents Nicaragua's major association, women's AMNLAE, in Nicaragua's Council of State, emphasized the connection between the problems of women and those of society in her presentation, The Media and Women's Role in Nicaragua, at the U of O Law School last week. ''There is no such thing as discussing women's problems without discussing their country's, their society's, and their environment's problems," she said. "We cannot solve our problems without talking about the problems of the entire society." In relating the •role played by women in the formation of executive, Nicaragua's legislative, and judicial institutions, Enriguez underscored the difference made by the women of presence throughout the system: ''Not necessarily because a woman was physically present, but because of the political will of the revolution. For us the important thing was not to have a token woman somewhere to make us feel happy, but to make sure that power took tn- Magda Enriguez voke panic, or military information that has not been confirmed. Everything else is dealt with openly -- all the political discussions, all of the outright criticism of whatever is going on in Nicaragua. We are free to express whatever we like or don't like." As the scope of her talk widened, Enriguez expressed her concern about the increasingly aggressive policies of the Reagan administration. She maintains it is only a matter of time before the US invades her country. ''Invasion from the United States is not a case of paranoia,'' she told the capacity crowd, ''it is a case of history.'' She said the presence of 5,000 Marines in Honduras and the 12 destroyers off the Nicaraguan coast are not ''a product of our imagination. "We are being forced to def end ourselves,'' she argues, ''because we will not be killed like stupid flies." Appealing to the American people she added that the moment Nicaraguan people can g. stop having to def end ! themselves will be a very happy one. "We have all of our "'trust put on you people. You ~ have a grave responsibility.'' The hope of the Nicaraguan people, she says, is that the American people will understand that each dollar that is taken from a US childcare center is going into a budget and becomes "guns and bullets that will kill people who are building childcare centers; that each dollar. .taken from a bilingual educa- . tion program in this country • goes into the budget that goes to kill people who are teaching how to read and write in six different languages in Nicaragua this moment. When those connections are made, then solidarity is an act of respect, and is a joint struggle for the interests of your people and my people." Need for more student lockers disputed by Frank Nearing TORCH Staff Writer High schools have lockers. Middle schools have lockers. But do students at a community college need or want lockable lockers? adTennis, Evelyn ministrative assistant in Student Services says, "lockers are desperately needed.'' Nigel Griffith, Student Resource Center director, says the Senate is exploring with the • Guarantee that teachers have the last job classification to be ''laid off in hard times" and if certain people feel the necessity to restructure the curriculum to end certain teaching jobs, then those teachers out of work should be placed in other comparable jobs within the systems "framework" -with no pay cut. If certain individuals were not so interested in their own personal gain at others' expense, they might realize that were it not for teachers they would have no jobs at all. Moreover, while looking for a nice little way to offset the higher bureaucratic costs for their fiscal irres po nsi b ili ti es, administrators couldn't possibly blame teachers. Why bite the hand that so handsomely feeds them? I guess that being overpaid doesn't necessarily mean a person's worth very much. I still can't understand why it's necessary to go to all the expense and trouble of looking for natural gas on LCC property when hot air is so abundantly free. Remember, conservation begins at home. If any additional information is needed, I'm always available for comment. I am, as always, a concerned citizen, taxpayer, and student trying to understand the mystical undertakings of our bureaucracy.

The report of a survey we ran confirmed this, and based on that (experience) we have not done anything with it.''

Page 4 February 23 - 29, 1984 The TORCH byDiane Prokop Bits for the TORCH & ByteL , s, l'j_ -"(·~~ - "11 Spreadsheet software a helpful budget manager I am faced with a rather monumental task in trying to define what spreadsheet software actually is. The problem lies in the fact that it is many different things, depending on who is using it and what it is being used for. Of course, that is truly the beauty of spreadsheet software. It is easily one of the most powerful and versatile tools available to the microcomputer user. It allows you to utilize all of your creative juices and really develop -your own applications for your specific needs. Perhaps if I show you what a spreadsheet can do you will get the picture. First, let's start with one of the most common manual spreadsheets with which all of us are familiar -- the check register in the front of our checkbooks. You will notice that it is arranged by rows and columns. Rows go across the page and are labeled by letters and columns run vertically that are labelled by numbers. The top row has titles above each column stating what information is contained there. Each row and column intersect at a place called a cell. For · example, in cell B4 in my checkbook you would find a withdrawal of $100. In cell B6 you would find my balance of$$$$.$$. (In the larger perspective of an electronic spreadsheet, a cell can hold numbers, labels, formulas, and a few other things depending on the software you have purchased.) With the electronic spreadsheet, if I input a withdrawal it will automatically change the balance forward. On the same level is the famous "what if." What if I deposit $300 and withdraw only $50. The spreadsheet would tell you what would happen in a matter of seconds. This is very simplified but you get the picture. There are many applications besides checkbook balancing which utilize spreadsheet software. Budgeting home or business finances, managing your taxes, figuring interest and ·principal on real estate and keeping track of your home inventory are just a few. If you are a student, you could figure your GPA's and much, much, more. Now that you know what spreadsheet software is, here are a few pointers on what features to look for when making your purchase: • Expandable column width • English commands instead of abbreviations • Columnar sorting for rearranging a list of names or numbers in ascending, descending or alphabetical order • Merge function so you can combine individual areas into one large area • Graphics capability for generating bar and pie charts • Good documentation • Single keystroke user programmable function keys • If-Then-Else with And, Or and Not Else functions • User set decimal places • Floating dollar signs • Negatives shown in ( )'s • Different font types • Replicate, copy and move commands • The ability to view more than one page at once through a window and split screen VisiCalc was the first electronic spreadsheet and is the best selling business program in history. It has become more advanced over the years and is now competing with other popular spreadsheets such as SuperCalc, Multiplan and PractiCalc to name a few. Make sure you shop around because they range from the light duty to the very heavy duty. And of course, try out the software if at all possible before purchasing. Also, remember to ask friends and user groups for recommendations. Next week we'll investigate data base management. Special thanks to demonstrating VisiCalc.

"Leaders for the 80's" program is to survey computer literacy programs for staff in the 18 schools belonging to the League for Innovation in the Community Colleges. Armstrong has taught chemistry· at LCC since the college opened in 1965. She became Science Dept. head in July 1982. Armstrong has served on numerous college committees, including LCC's first accreditation steering committee. On the LCC staff for 12 years, Stewart was director of the Women's Program and a public relations specialist before joining Staff Development. As director of Staff Development, she initiated a long-range, college planning effort based on participation of staff throughout LCC. The project is sponsored by the League for Innovation in the Community Colleges, a consortium of 18 community college districts nationwide, and by the American Association of Women in Community and Junior Colleges. The program is being conducted by the Institute for Leadership Development at Rio Salado Community College in Phoenix, Arizona.

Fr. James Dieringer, a Roman Catholic priest, and founder of CM, says the agency, which is completely separate from LCC, receives a yearly grant of $8500 from the Archdiocese of Portland and Oregon. Some small contributions by churches and individuals add to that -- last year's total came to slightly over $1800. But last year, Campus Ministry's expenses totaled over $12,000. The difference between that amount and the ministry's income came out of Fr. Dieringer's own finances. CM's expenses include the salary and benefits of the assistant director I secretary, rent, office costs such as the telephone, printing, miscellaneous expenses, and the cost of putting on special programs like last year's workshop on incest. Campus Ministry also has the added A special LCC employee payroll deduction program and several f undraising activities are two ways Campus Ministry is trying to increase its income. Anyone who receives a paycheck from LCC, including work-study students, can begin a payroll dedu~tion, designating a certain amount to be automatically deducted from his/her paycheck each month and contributed to CM. An interested person may complete a form that asks for his/her name, social security number, the amount to be donated each month, and when the deductions should start. The forms are available at the Campus Ministry office, Cen.125 or Personnel Services, first floor, Administration Building. Since the payroll deduction program began about a year and a half ago, 26 people have agreed to donate $100 to Campus Ministry. The CM staff hopes participation will continue to grow.

The CM staff is scheduling three fund-raising events -- its annual backgammon tournament this month, a Motorcycle Poker Run in April, and a raffle -- to raise $5000. For the time being, Fr. Dieringer says he and the rest from Campus Ministry will "do the most we can with what we've got."
