Stiffer regulations on financial aid by Christine Moses for the TORCH Because of new federal regulations for federal financial aid, it is crucial for students to file next year's financial aid applications with the College Scholarship Service by the April 1 deadline -that's this Sunday. According to Linda Waddell, LCC Financial Aid director, the new regulations, which will go into effect July l, 1984, will require all fouryear universities and tw~-year colleges to stop awarding federal funds to students after the students accumulate a predetermined number of credits, or have exceeded a specified number of terms allowed for completing programs. Besides meeting the degree or certificate requirement within the time frame, students using federal funds must also successfully complete a certain percentage of classes each term and maintain an acceptable grade point average. All Federal Title IV Student Aid Programs are affected by the new regulations: Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, College Work Study, National Direct Student Loans, Guaranteed Student Loans, and the PLUS Loan Program. Generally, Waddell says the requirements will affect community college students in the following ways: • LCC students may be considered for financial aid as long as they have not attended any college (two or four year) for more than 9 terms and/ or 108 credit hours. • Students may file an appeal if it will take them more than nine terms or 108 credits to complete their program. However, time extensions will be granted only for reasonable program changes or for documented circumstances beyond the student's control. • If an LCC student's appeal is denied, the student may not receive any additional funding while attenoing LCC. • Students currently atten. ding LCC are not exempt from these new regulations. According to Waddell, the regulations permit each institution to determine the normal length of time it takes a student to complete a program at that school. Federal funding for undergraduate work at the University of Oregon will be limited to 186 credits (the number normally required to complete a four-year baccalaureate degree). The regulations are intended to encourage students to complete a four-year degree. Interpreting the US Department of Education's regulations, Waddell says the plan is designed to make sure all students have an opportunity to enter college. "We have limited funds and we want people to have an opportunity to start their education and an opportunity to complete it. There is not enough money to go around.'' She says the regulation is an attempt to ensure fair access to available funds for both current and potential students. The regulation also encourages students to ''realize their degree objective in a reasonable length of time. It encourages students to stay on course." American society misunderstands Islamic way of life by Paul McFarlane TORCH Staff Writer Although approximately one billion Moslems inhabit the earth in such culturally diverse nations as Saudi Arabia and the Soviet Union, their religion -- Islam -- is misunderstood by most Americans. Islamic scholar M. Reza Benham spoke about the religion, and the western world's misunderstanding of it, during a session of Rita Hennessey's Religions of the Western World class Feb. 2. Benham is director of the Institute of Advanced Middle Eastern Studies in Eugene and holds a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Oregon. In the past few years Islamic political disent, especially in the Middle East, has generated much controversy and confusion about Islam. One reason Americans misunderstand Islam, and the issues surrounding it, is that the mass media evades and distorts (he real issues, said Behnam. ''Confusing -- not to mention hostile -- commentaries laced with sardonic remarks abound about Moslems and their religion, Islam. Very little of the detail, the human density, the passion of. . . Moslem life has entered the awareness of even those whose profession it is to report the Islamic world,'' Behnam pointed out. "Islam .. .is equated with an undifferentiated mob of scimitar-waving oil suppliers, or it is reduced to the utterences of one or another Islamic leaders who at the moment happens to be a convenient foreign scapegoat.'' Another reason for misunderstanding is that Americans find it difficult to empathize with Islam. According to Behnam, "no major segment of the polity, no significant sector of the culture, no part of the whole community is capable of identifying sympathetically with the Islamic world." Behnam said Americans, and the west in general, tend to compartmentalize, or separate family, business, social, and religious activities. Within Islam however, all these activities, and more, are governed by a complex ideology that reflects "the will of God." "For Islam there is only one path," Behnam explained. The west tends to separate the secular from the sacred he said, and ''The western concept of such separation is alien to Islamic thought." "Islam is not just a religion, if religion means only a system of beliefs and worship," said Behnam. "Rather, Islam is a total way of life.'' This, he asserts, may be the key to westerners understanding the Islamic culture. Page ·2 March 29..: }~ ii 1,.1984 The TORCH Free For All (Editor's note: FOR UMs are submitted by TORCH readers.

The numbers have been unbelievable, 21,000 deaths as a result of only five days of fighting. Strongly . condemning Khomeini's invasion is the National Council of resistance (NCR). It is a coalition of progressive Iranians for a democratic alternative to Khomeini's regime. Following the recent bombing of Dexful, a city in Iran, Mr. Massoud Rajavi, Chairman of the NCR, asked in a message addressed to the President of Iraq, Saddam Hosein, for the termination of the bombardment of the innocent civilians in Iran, and for their immunity. In response to this call, Iraq agreed for a period of one week, starting than just the facts.

It once again reiterated the proposal it raised to the signing of a limited agreement between Iran and Iraq for bilateral termination of attacks on populated cities. This same proposal had been rejected by Khomeini's regime before, and as was expected, it was rejected once again. Noting that with their revolution the Iranian people set forth "freedom and independence'' as two general and inseparable principals; noting that the NCR has set as its objective the overthrow of the Khomeini regime and the establishment of a political system based on the will and sovereignty of the people, it is evident that the only democractic alternative to this regime is the National Council of Resistance. As long as Khomeini rules, there will be no end to thjs bloody, destructful war.

I woke up to find that Tito had stolen my cigarettes, finished my meal, and was in the hasty process of pouring my fruit drink into his glass. Marta, who became aware of this situation at the same time picked up a section of rubber hose and chased Tito into the street, swinging wildly at him, screaming numerous unprintables in Spanish, and sending pigs and chickens scrambling in a variety of directions. I had to laugh. I began to relish every oppo rt unity to experience Nicaragua as a countw, rather than a contemporary political phenomenon. Baseball is the national game here, not soccer. You see people playing it everywhere. Nicaraguans love to have wet sand fights when they're at the beach. They do it 'til everyone gets incredibly messy, then they jump in the ocean to wash off. Nicaraguan children, . like most LatinAmerican children, are prone to laughter and walking about arm in arm. After awhile you forget all about ''the invasion." And when you do think about it, it just seems so weird. I had always thought that there was some economic necessity in preventing socialist revolution in the third world, that maintains a system of totally shameless, open ended exploitation of these countries was imperative to a healthy US economy. But I now concur with the opinion I heard often in Nicaragua, that leftist countries are just as easy to exploit as their right ·wing counterparts - ''you just have to modify your style a bit." Rather, I think Nicaragua represents a conveniently small, vulnerable victim for Pentagon "hawks" frustrated after ten years of military inactivity by the United States, that the tradional use of militarism as an outlet for sadism and power mongering has far more to do with their desire to invade Nicaragua than legitimate concern over national security. This leads me to the disheartening conclusion that there is probably a large element within the US military establishment that can hardly wait to drop bombs on the civilian population of this baseball-crazy, American music loving nation, now that they can no longer use the Vietnamese for this purpose. Should this transpire, I for one, will never forgive those who have these good people's blood on their hands. student government .. elections·in April by Chris Gann TORCH Editor Elections for 1984-85 ASLCC student government offices will be h.eld April 16 and 17.

Valerie Brooks Community Education Division Opposing prayer To the Editor: I'm profoundly disturbed by the Congress' consideration of proposals allowing public schools to organize prayer or ''moments of silence'' in their classrooms. My religious faith is uniquely my own, its expression as necessarily individual as the quality of my voice. I know people who share my faith in general, and some few who are like me in many particulars; but all my experience and contact with people of different religions convinces me . that anyone's faith, in all its particulars, is as unique as a set of fingerprints. Because one person's faith differs from another's, when people gather for religious purposes they all compromise to some degree. Within a religious community, small disagreements are overlooked so that common principles may be celebrated. Larger disagreements, too important to compromise, create separate religious communities: Catholics, atheists, Protestants, Buddhists, Sikhs, agnostics, etc. As Americans, we're relatively free to chose whichever religious community suits us, or none at all. In other words, we've the basic freedom to decide how far we'll compromise our personal religious understanding by associating with a given group. We've no obligation to belong to a religious group whose beliefs contradict our own. As American citizens, we also participate in the public institutions serving the nation. If these institutions organize religious obeservances, then we who use them as a right and duty of citizenship will be enrolled in a specific religious community as well; one whose prescribed practices may ential relgious compromises unac- ceptable to us. For some of us, perhaps many of us, this will surely by true. Americans will then have to choose between exercising their rights as citizens, and using our public institutions; or holding fast to their religious beliefs, and excluding themselves from the religious communities those public institutions will have become. No American should have to make that choice. It won't help to "excuse" people from a public function, e.g. school, during the prescribed religious observance. This amounts to saying that, at scheduled intervals, selected citizens will be denied full use of public facilities because of their religious convictions. Similarly, ''moment of silence'' legislation, because of the variety of American relgious practices, virtually guarantees that someone, religiously unable to participate, will be forced to chose between faith and full citizenship. We all have the right to pray, on our own initiative, when and where we please. Organized, officially sanctioned, time for prayer adds nothing to this right. But it may tarnish the devotions of those who'd normally exercise it, as they see some classmates fearfully pretend to join them in prayer, and others, whose faith prevents them from praying in the prescribed time, place, manner, or company, persecuted for their religion. Please join me in preserving all Americans' rights of citizenship and religious freedom. Please oppose organized time for prayer in our public schools and institutions. • John Holtzapple White train To the Editor: I had to go meet the White Train because it is a focus of evil. It carries 200 hydrogen bombs. Such a collection of prepared atrocities must be stood against with our entire beings, yet in nonviolence and love. We knelt or sat on the tracks. Some of us prayed, some sang, and some cried at the horror of this train's meaning. Because there were only 175 people out to meet the train, does it mean that society condones it? We stopped the train for three hours, but eventually there were more police than protesters, and those on the tracks were removed and arrested. ''This train contains 1,000 Hiroshimas!" one of the track sitters was heard to cry. The authorities appeared unmoved. Is most of society unmoved, unthinking, denying that our government prepares holocausts far worse than anything we've known in all of history? In Nazi Germany trains carried millions of people to death, and people looked the other way. In- our time, this train carries death to a billion people; are we willing to see it for what it is, and respond accordingly? The parallels are profound: A highly intelligent, technologized society, full of "good people just doing their jobs,'' failing to face the terrible meaning of their combined efforts and complicity. How long can we avert our gaze? Do we fail to learn anything from the pain and struggles of the past? To understand this train with our minds is impossible, because as theologian James Douglas has reminded us, ''to understand Hiroshima alone would take a lifetime." The nuclear sword will be lowered and broken in two only through a change of hearts.

Calling herself a "normal futurist," Hubbard says there is an open spot in US politics, "an office that nobody wants, the Vice Presidency.'' She proposes to develop the potential and greatly expand the role of the Vice President by creating an ''Office of the Future'', which will seek positive options and solutions from people in all fields of science and society to meet current global problems. ''The new idea has to be the process of gathering everyone's new ideas." Hubbard asserts. "Positive Future Centers,,. •will be created at the national and local level to gather and focus the positive, creative energy of communities and individuals who have ideas for change.

'' Democracy releases the individual; science and the rational intellect have brought us to the crisis, we are on the threshold of a higher consciousness and a solution to disunity... we can't survive with the current solutions." Hubbard views her candidacy as "a catalyst for this force of futuristic centers" and solutions. "We have to use our resources to create this, we must all connect with the new state of mind." In the next few weeks Hubbard proposes to talk with Gary Hart and Walter Mondale to ask them if they want a Vice Presidential candidate "who can bring them all the new ideas within the nation.'' Hubbard adds she thinks Mondale needs her ideas more, but that Hart will probably be more receptive to them. Creating more support through the development of Positive Future Centers at the local level, and gaining increased media coverage are essential to "surface this campaign as a national issue'' in the immediate future she asserts. pie who LCC' s Campus Ministry is trying to help. According to Fr. James Dieringer, director of Campus Ministry (CM), not all of the hungry people who come to CM for help are in such ·serious circumstances. But the source of their problem is often the same. A lot of people, especially single men, don't think they are eligible for food stamps, "they don't even apply -- they don't try to get them,'' he says. Others simply run out of food before the end of the month and are forced to get help somewhere, Dieringer says, "after two weeks of cheese sandwiches two or three times a day -- you're getting pretty desperate." Campus Ministry helps LCC's hungry in several ways. When the three or four students per week come to the Ministry office in need of food, the CM staff either gives them a few dollars to buy something to eat, or provides a food basket from the ministry's larder -- if it's stocked. Father Dieringer says their goal is ''to help students stay in school and have at least enough food in their belly so their minds don't go gunny bag on them." Recently, CM became the liaison between the Lane County Food Bank and LCC for the distribution of government surplus foods -- milk, cheese, and butter. This allows "'"""L.

According to Carter, those students lacking a course or a few credits may still participate in the graduation ceremony. However, they must complete the remaining coursework the following summer or fall term. The Student Activities Office is responsible for publicizing the graduation ceremonies, making arrangements for caps and gowns, and arranging the ceremony itself. Students receive their diploma covers at the ceremony, and their diplomas in the mail from the Student Records Office a few weeks after the ceremony. LCC holds two formal graduation ceremonies each year -- one for students completing vocational programs or receiving associate degrees for college credit, and another for students finishing their high school studies for a high school diploma. Panelists discussed Feminization of Poverty by Frank Nearing TORCH Staff Writer When five panelists convened on March 1 to discuss the "Feminization of Poverty,'' they offered both statistics and strong opinions on the reasons why women are poor. The panel was part of a series billed as the LCC Student Resource Center Open House, although it failed to draw an audience apart from the media and the panelists themselves. Rich Gold, an LCC student, acted as chairperson. • Joan Acker from the UO Center for Study of Women in Society, defined the issue as "women's poverty." She said women's wages are lower, the wage gap has persisted for . 30 years and it continues to widen. ''Women earn on the average -- if they are full-time year around employees -- 59 percent of the earnings of the average full-time year-around male employee.'' She identifies massive sex segregation of the work force as the worst enemy of women who work. But she sees changes are on the horizon and gives credit to the Affirmative Action and Equal Pay for Equal Work Act of 1963 for the coming change. • Don Keister, regional director of Adult and Family Services (AFS), said that in the State of Oregon, because of a change in eligibility requirements, the welfare caseload for January 1979 . (99~800) dropped · in January 1984 to 77,619 individuals families receive an (ADC) grant. Of these single parent served. But nationwide, The New York Times, citing Census Bureau data, reported in February that ''Those with incomes below the poverty level -- less than $9,862 for a family of four in 1982 -- rose from 26.1 million in 1979 to 34.4 million. That represented a 28.2 percent growth rate when population changes were taken into account.'' families, 95 percent are headed by women. And he observed that ''Because of the recession dur- Keister said in Lane County as of this January, 4,153 SALE: Oregon Art Supply WHEN= March 26th - •· April 1st -. are about those issues they won't have that side of the story. It's up to us to take it to them." • Doris Hall, the final speaker, is a Democratic candidate in District 39 in the May 15 primary. She sees feminization of poverty in the light of '' alienated women, totally abused by the system, their minds turned off." She suggested women could strengthen their hands by networking through such organizations as Older Women's League and its national counterpart, NOW. Susan Firor, a student in aviation maintenance and perhaps the only female student in attendance, left the meeting with this impression, "I'm very interested in the issue of equal pay for equal work. When I think .about graduating from Mechanics School and entering the work force I'm not only going to be up against the difficulties of being in an entirely male environment, I'm also going to be up against wage differentials. I'd like to be prepared to deal with that, legally and on a constructive level..'' Bea sharpshooter.

She is currently employed on a part-time basis by the Lane County Client's Council. She said her experience as a single parent on welfare was degrading and spoke of the welfare system as dehumanizing. "When you are dependent upon them for your very existence you think twice before challenging the system,'' she said. The Client's Council wants to empower the poor, register them as voters and educate them to lobby for welfare reform, Bowman said. • Cheryl Hunter, from Oregon's Women's Political Caucus, commended state legislators for funding Legal Aid for low income families.

The program allows disabled veterans, surviving spouses of veterans and certain other veterans to hav·e part of the value of their homes exempted from property tax. Applications must be filed each year with county assessors. To qualify, the applicant must be a disabled war veteran or the surviving spouse of a war veteran, and must own and live on the property. The amount of value exempt from tax depends on the applicant's classification. Veterans with serviceconnected disabilities of 40 percent or more may qualify for a $10,000 exemption. Those who qualify for $7,500 exemptions are veterans with non-service connected disabilities of 40 percent or more and unremarried surviving spouses of veterans, whether or not the deceased veteran qualified for the exemption.

Julie Zeller (1500) will leave the team this Spring to compete for OSU, but will be replaced by Charlene Gutherie from Junction City. According to Wilken, the distance and throwing squads will set the stage for a possible stab at the Northern Championships on May 18 and 19, which will be held at LCC. Other members include Donna Nelson (1500 and 10,000), Tami Young (800 and 3,000), Dawn Ray (800 and 3000), Susan Alonso (10,000), Shirley Gregerson (400 and 800), Amy Rice (3,000 and 5,000), DeAnna De Winter Distance runners Jeanie Results of the March 4 women's preseason meet in Sacramento, California: Lane 85, Foothill S4, American River 41, San Jose 19, and Sacramento 1S. Jeannie Higginbotham won the 1500 meters in 4:43.2. Pam Vasey raced to a 10:38.2 victory in the 3000 meters and Shirley Gegerson placed second in the 800 meters at 2:27 .2. Michelle Souder won the discus competition with a throw of 140' 2". Souder placed second in the shot put with a 41' 10 1/2" throw. Jodi Brown tossed the shot 37' 1 1/3" and Chris Viltz 36' 1". In the 400 meters, Angie Ross placed second with a S9.6 finish. Diedre Thomas was a close second in the 100 meter race. Lifters continued from cover lifts in her 132 pound class, enough to win the overall women's lift award with a 1.08 lifting ration. This ratio moved her into 8th place on the top ten women lifters' list. In the men's division, new power lift records were also set. Up from his normal 132 . pound class, competing at the 148 pound class, Mike Cramblit tied the existing school record in the bench press with a powerful press of 225 pounds. Chris Newman became a member of the intramural power li ft 1000 pound club with his total lifted weight of 1010 pounds. Newman competed at the 181 pound class. Other members in the men's division included Jim Buchholtz at 165 pounds, Don Arnold at 198, Scott McKee and Bill Schmidt at 220 and Keith Mellinger at 132 pounds. The most outstanding lifts of the competition were provided by the overall champion, Keith Mellinger, who posted records in the 132 pound class in the squat event of 275 pounds, dead lift of 360 pounds with a combined weight lifted at 810 lbs. and body weight ratio of 2.05. Mellinger was awarded an intramural championship t-shirt for his record-breaking efforts. He is now listed as the eighth best power lifter at LCC. Total combined weight lifted for all contestants are as follows : Tess Dorsey 325 ; Allena Williams 430; Keith Mellinger 810; Jim Buchholtz 795; Chris Newman 1010; Don Arnold 785 ; and Bill Schmidt 1200. (800 and 1500) and Ronnette Hutchinson (800). The power throwers in the shot put and discuss, which throwing coach Jim Grant perceives the best ever for Lane are: Michelle Souder (s.p./discuss); Jodi Brown (s.p./ discuss/javeli n); and Chris Viltz (s.p.). Additional help comes from Chris Mitchell, Wendy Wilson, Donna Fleischer and Keeley Frank to add depth to a once weak area for Lane. The sprinters, coached by Fred Siekerman and Larry Callaway, are starting with a freshman squad. Angie Ross and Cathy Wright in the 400 meters, along with Diedre Thomas and Debbie Dailey in the 100 and 200, will hold their own against tough sprinters from Bellevue and Spokane Community Colleges. The sprint squad will be a deciding factor in determining Lane's ability to challenge for the Northwest title. Help in this area will come from Janene Miles (200 and 400), Mary Christianson (400) Tanya Love (100) and Mary Phillips (100). But Spiekerman says the hurdles are a definite area of weakness this year for Lane. Vickie Spiekerman will run the 100 meter hurdles in regular meet competition. Camee Pupke will try the 400 intermediates after a season of basketball with LCC, along with Shannon O'Malley. In the long jump, coach Mike Yeoman is working with Leslie White (h.j.) and Susie Darby and Dawn Smoot in the long jump. The jumps will be another pivotal area in determining Lane's success, says Wilken. 1886, following a shipwreck off the west coast of Africa, an infant child became part of a family of apes who raised and protected him. As he grew, he learned the laws of the jungle and eventually claimed the title, Lord of the Apes. Yet, years later, when he was returned to civilization, he would remain uncertain as to which laws he should obey ... those of man ... or those of the jungle. Now, the director of "Chariots of Fire" captures this epic adventure of a man caught between two different worlds.

Camp for the TORCH Writer behavior on campus and the possible penalties which could result from violations. It's a prescription of each student's rights to due process. And the code can also serve as a way for a student to•seek help during an "incident." As Spring Term begins, the season for ''incidents,'' defined by the college's chief security officer as "Behavioral problems, ~' begins as well. LCC Security Manager Paul Chase • sa}'s that for some unknown reason tempers flare more at this time of year. He says about six major behavioral problepis had occurred by the end of Winter Term. In the ensuing heated confrontations, fights, name calling, and/or loud exchanges, there may be a need for the students or the college to invoke the procedures in the . LCC Student Code. "Physical abuse, hazing, conduct which threatens imminent physical abuse, detention and sexual harrassment'' are classified as major offenses, as is ''other verbal and physical conduct which results in inhibition of constrained academic interchange or career advancement or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive epvironment for one of the parties." The Student Code is not one of the most studied documents on campus. lt's a c9mpilation of pote~tial offenses to When such an incident takes place, the security staff will gladly intervene at a student's request, Chase says. If a student has a "feeling of being harrassed, '' as Chase explains, but lacks evidence of being harrassed, security officers may arrange an informal meeting between the conflicting students and a security advisor to resolve the dispute. If Security cannot resolve the problem, or if a student chooses to file an official complaint, the Student Code indicates that the college may take official action. (Editor,s note: This is the first part of a two part series on student behavior -- and misbehavior -- and the Student Code. Next week part two will examine students, rights under the code and how the college administers it.)

Described by Publicity Coordinator Robyn Partridge as "'humorous and tragic," the play's ·. activity revolves around the three Magrath sisters who gather at their family home in Hazelhurst, Mississippi and work out their private and public crises. Babe, is out on bail after shooting her husband in the stomach because she "didn't like his stinking looks;" Lenny is despondent over her 30th birthday, unrequited love and shrunken ovaries; and Meg is licking the wounds of her failing career as a singer. The three sisters are haunted by the memories of their mother, Mama Magrath, who hung herself and her cat in the basement because "she had a bad day, a real bad day." ORT Director David Lunney invited Andrew Traister from the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego to guest direct this production. Traister says he was a member of the ORT "family" in the late 1970' s and is also a friend and colleague of the playwright. The cast includes Nancy Julian as Babe, Janet Steiger as Lenny, Rebecca Proctor as Meg, with Janet McIntyre as Chick, Portland actor Jack Ryan as Doc, and Mark Hughes as Attorney Lloyd Barnette. Jerry Williams designed the set for "Crimes of the Heart," Linda Sherman designed the costumes, and Paul Dustrud is lighting designer. ''Crimes of the Heart'' will be presented in seven performances on March 29, 30, 31, April 5, 6, and 7 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, April 8 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at the Hult Center Box Office and area ticket outlets and by calling 687-5000.
