LCC and U of O to
kick-off Earth Wee.k
by Cathy Benjamin
ASLCC Communications Director

In 1970, US Senator
Gaylord Nelson established
''Earth Day'' as a dedication
to the beauty of our planet. In
1984, a group of concerned
LCC students, The Energy
Resource Group (ERG), have
established the first annual
"Earth Fair '84."
ERG, in conjunction with
ASLCC and the U of O Survival Center, have put together
a very impressive week of
speakers and events both at
LCC and the U of 0, that will
benefit students and community members.
Earth Fair '84 will open at
LCC on Monday, April 16.
Speakers and events are
scheduled Monday through
Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
A keynote speaker will be
featured each day.
Michael Blackbum, Earth
Fair '84 organizer, says "This
first annual Earth Fair '84 is to
focus our attentions to our
mother earth and realize that
all are in relationship." He
says he believes in the imoortance of "flipping the 'big
brother is watching you' mentality'' over to a more unified

On the Inside

approach to world wide
cooperation. The ERG logo -a world enveloped in an infinity symbol -- "gives the idea of
everything being infinitely
connected,'' he says.
Students and faculty have
pooled resources and
organizational skills to coordinate the week-long event
focusing on the environment.
Many campus departments are
involved in Earth Fair, including: Campus Ministry, the
Career Information Center,
CWE, Counseling, the Job
Skills Lab, the Study Skills
Center, Science, Mechanics,
Mass Communication and
Speech, Social Science and
Student Health Services.
Some highlights from Earth
Fair '"84 are:
â€¢ Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling, a
native of Portland, Oregon,
will keynote Wednesday's activities at noon in the Performing Arts theater. Pauling won
his first Nobel Prize for his
work in chemistry, and his second for his efforts against the
testing of nuclear weapons.
In 1958, supported by
11,000 scientists, Pauling
delivered a petition to the UN
requesting a test-ban treaty
between the US and the Soviet
Union. Five years later, the
treaty was signed. Pauling has

At a candidates orientation
forum that took place Friday,
April 16 in the Administration
Building Board Room, Vice
President Fran Johnson
reminded candidates that elections had been "notoriously
scandalous in the past" and
reading from a memo that was
written by ASLCC Faculty

Canning preserves
jazz format at KLCC
by Jackie Barry

TORCH Associate Editor

''The dean of jazz announcers" is what Station
Manager Jon Schwartz calls
new KLCC Music Director
Michael Canning.
Canning has been part of
the KLCC community since 10
years ago when it broadcast
only 440 watts. He was part of
a group that helped establish
the jazz format which was an
alternative to what other radio
stations in the area offered at
that time. In 1976 he was
music director of KLCC for
nine months and from Sept
1977 to June 1980 he was
music director for the 4-J
school district radio network
KRVM. This network of five
stations has a studio located in
each of five area high schools
where high school students can
radio
learn professional
techniques. Canning has been
a volunteer announcer at
KLCC throughout the last 10
years and will leave a job at
Lane County Feed and Seed to
resume duties as music director.
Canning can be heard on the
air Tuesday nights from 7:30
to 10 p.m. as host of the Jazz
Inside Out program.
Schwartz speaks highly of
Canning, saying he has good
interpersonal skills and that as
well as being able to function
in a supervisory capacity, he
can appreciate the needs of the
workers because he's "one of
them."

Canning is a native Oregonian who moved to Eugene
from Portland at the age of
three. He attended Sheldon
High School as well as LCC as
a Mass Communications
Radio Major.
Schwartz says that the
screening process for candidates went smoothly with
committee members agreeing
'' all the way along the line on
the relative qualities of each
candidate.'' Besides Schwartz,
the committee members are
Jim Dunne (general manager
of KLCC and Mass Comm.
department head), Annie Hoy
(a volunteer representative
from the community), LaDean
Prior (chair of the advisory
committee) and Steve Barton
(chief engineer for KLCC) .
And speaking of new personnel, KLCC's Continuity
and Traffic Director Kris Fox
is on a seven month maternity
leave. Evelyn Lee is her temporary replacement.

Students may get
tax deductions

by Chris Gann
TORCH Editor

Members of a newly formed student organization are
circulating petitions that will ask state and federal
legislators to consider giving students income tax deductions for tuition and text books.
The petition reads:
''Where as, many LCC students work to pay all or
part of their educational expenses, many o~ them ~e
not elegible for outright grants, we the undersigned petition our state representatives and senators to sponsor
legislation to classify all tuition and text books as income tax deductions from our state and federal tax
returns.''
Brad Mowreader, a founding member of United
Students Association (USA), says the organization
hopes to get "1,000 students if possible" to sign the
petitions before copies are handed over to federal and
state senators and representatives.
He says some legislators are already working to get
the tax deductions for students. "We just want to add to
it -- strengthen the choir.''

Vote-get every penny's worth

by Chris Gann
TORCH Editor

Yes, it's that time again.
The campaign posters are
up. The pink voter's pamphlets are out. And the candidates are out in full force,
explaining their positions and
views on student government
-- trying to get your vote.
Vote? In a student government election? WHY?
Yes, I know. Often, student
government just doesn't seem
to have much to do with your
life. Voting may seem like an
empty, meaningless gesture.

But consider this: In a
February 2 TORCH Forum,
ASLCC Vice President Fran
Johnson outlined the student
government budget -- the
budget that gets its revenue
from the $3 mandatory student fee you pay each term .
The total of the budgeted
. items came to almost $71,000.
That's not peanuts -- it's a
significant amount of cash
those folks in the student
government offices control.
So instead of ignoring the .
whole ASLCC voting process,
maybe we should all be considering just what kind of ser-

vices we want student government to provide.
Start assessing your needs.
Could you use cooperative
child care? Would you like to
attend after-game dances or
dance concerts? Are the free
legal services important to
you? Would you like to see
more events like job fair~ or
this week's Earth Fair '84?
Think about the kind of
people you want working
together on the student senate.
Should your tepresentatives
maintain adversarial positions
with each other, or should
they be willing to work toward

consensus on issues. Take a
few minutes to talk to a candidate or two (they'll be campaigning in the cafeteria this
week).
Then -- this is the tedious
part -- pick up the pink
1984-85 ASLCC Spring Elections Pamphlet and read it.
If you've thought a bit
about the way you'd like your
money spent and the kin4 of
student leaders LCC needs,
you should be able to pick out
the candidates whos' goals for
ASLCC are similar to your
own. You probably won't find
perfect candidates, but you

student government. Her
honesty and integrity will
work for all of us, so do
something good for yourself
and your school. Vote Cindy
Weeldreyer for ASLCC President.

And how all the while he
was doing this Bryan received
in excess of $756 more than he
was entitled to on his salary, as
well as thousands of dollars in
travel money for himself to the
East Coast. He has been paying himself for twenty hours
per week instead of the 15
hours he is entitled to. This information comes from the
ASLCC ledger report.
And now, after all this,
Bryan Moore has the gall to
ask to be placed in direct control of the entire Cultural
Budget. Bryan's record,
however, makes it clear that he
should not be given responsibility for student's money.
And so, I ask you help in
working for a responsible stu-dent government by voting no
on Bryan Moore.

accomplished. I have come to
feel that this special opportunity should be given to
another person. I would very
much like to obtain a degree
from LCC. When a person
serves a president, it is difficult to progress in any program because of the stress and

this position. As Cultural
Director, I will be able to commit myself to serving students
through student government

To the Editor:

It's time once again for the
ASLCC presidential elections
and after looking at both candidates for the position of
President I urge everyone to
vote for ASLCC Senator Cindy Weeldreyer. It's interesting
to note that both Cindy
Weeldreyer and Larry Mann
were candidates in last year's
ASLCC elections with Cindy
losing by a narrow 3 p~rcent
margin and Larry barely capturing 18 percent of the total
vote.
Since that time Cindy hasn't
wasted her energy criticizing
the ASLCC, she has shown
her genuine dedication to improve student representation
on campus by becoming a prominent member of the
ASLCC. Cindy has not missed
a senate meeting this year and
her voting record is impressive. She has consistently
voiced opposition to issues
unrelated to student interest,
and she has spent a great deal
of time working with student
clubs this year and has taken
on the tedious task of
rewriting and improving the
by-laws in our student constitution.
While Cindy's main concern
is improving the social and
educational environment on
campus, , she is also dedicated
to educating students on important political issues
especially during a national
election year.
I'm impressed with Cindy's
leadership qualities and her
potitive, cheerful approach to

To the Editor:

Our student body president,

Bryan Moore, is running for
the position of Cultural Direc-

tor. This, is strange enough, in
of itself. I mean, why would
the president run for a position of less authority rather
than for re-election for president?
Bryan is afraid that if he
draws too much attention to
himself the students will find
out just what he did for a year
as president.
How, when informed that
the bill for the free phone service would be going up, Bryan
strongly urged the senate to
totally eliminate all the free
phones instead of trying to
find some way of keeping at
least some of the phones after
this term is over.

Forum by Ron Munion
Candidate for ASLCC Treasurer

I, like many of you, have
read Larry Mann and Tim
Chase's articles about student
government (ASLCC Senate).
I have just one question: What
is the truth?
Mann and Chase have many
concerns about actions by the
ASLCC Senate. They believe:
â€¢ Expenses for the Photo ID
program will exceed $11,000
over the amount budgeted for
the year.
â€¢ ASLCC President Bryan
Moore was paid for 20 hours a
week when he was only allowed 15 hours per week.

Treasurer
must say no
To the Editor:

I'm announcing my intention to run for my old job as
ASLCC Treasurer. Medical
problems cut my school year
short last year, therefore, I
was unable to fulfill many of
my goals as your Treasurer.
At this time I would like to
thank all of you who supported me with your cards, letters and prayers.
The Treasurer must be the
one to say no when circumstances warrant strong
corrective actions. Last year I
found it necessary to freeze the
Cultural Budget, because at
times the expenditures exceeded projected revenues. Also, it
was necessary to inform the
ASLCC Senate last year that
"General Fund" monies appropriated for lobbying the
LCC Board of Education was
a violation of ASLCC's Fiscal
Policy. ASLCC's Legal Services Attorney, Stanley Cram,
concurred with my opinion in
a letter dated 1-27-83.
I have represented you at
the LCC Board of Education,
and I work well with our college's administration. My experience in accounting,

Business Management and my
knowledge of how this college
works will aid me in
establishing a responsive student government that we can
all be proud of.
I have the full confidence
and support of most of the
candidates running for
ASLCC President, and I can
work well with anyone of
them.
The Treasurer must be a
person who understands the
concerns of students, i.e.
financial aid reductions, program cuts and tuition increases.
The job of treasurer is much
more than being an accountant. The job requires someone who will speak for and
defend the rights of all the
students of LCC. This is why
I'm asking for your support

and no religious lectures to

have worked in the Campus
Ministry office to keep it open

They serve on the Executive Board of the Lane Campus

valuable student input.
Cindy does most of our

I have been a member of

be an effective Treasurer and I
know that Mr. Munion has
what it takes to do the job
right.
He has served as Treasurer
before and won much respect
for the way he handled the
job. He has the qualifications
and the commitment to serve
you -- the student -- to the best
of his abilities. He far exceeds
any of his rivals.
I endorse Ron Munion
because his winning of the

We feel that Ron Munion is
an excellent candidate for the
office of Treasurer. Having
served as ASLCC Treasurer in
the past we feel he is a man
with the expertise to get the
job done properly.
He has proved to us by his
actions that if strict measures
are needed, he will have the
courage to face and enact the
measures needed to benefit the
student body. Even though his
viewpoints may differ from
the majority from time to
time, he is a fair and
understanding individual who
will take the time and the proper measures to see that all
areas of his job meet and
benefit the student body as a
whole.

-â€¢Speakers fOcus on
writers role in politics
by Chris Gann
TORCH Editor

Writers -- and the impact
Â· they have on society -- are the
focus of LCC's Third Annual
Reading Fair.
"Writers in Society," sponsored by the Study Skills
Center, will feature speakers,
"special interest" workshops
and a drama presentation on
Wednesday, April l 8.
Nita Bunnell, spokesperson
for the fair, says the day of
events will give the writers an
opportunity to explain "their
own roles as critical thinkers.''
The workshop sessions will
allow students to gain
pragmatic, "how to" information about writing. The
discussions may give students
insights into the personal or
political bias that exists in

journalistic writing, and the
kinds of analytical skills imaginative writers use, she says.
Don Clark, â€¢ former news
director of KEZI-TV, will
keynote the fair. Clark, a candidate for Oregon Secretary of
State, will speak on the role of
the media in politics. His talk
begins at 9 a.m .. in the Study
Skills Center Lab, on the
fourth floor of the Center
Building. Questions from the
audience are encouraged.
At 11 a.m. a panel of
political writers will discuss
the processes news editors and
writers use to decide which
political events will be
covered. Panel members Don
Robinson and Terry McDermott of the Register-Guard,
and freelance political writer
and former political editor
Gaines Smith will also discuss
how to avoid political biases.
The panel will also answer
questions from the audience.
The panel discussion will be
held in the Study Skills Center.
Members of ''On the Edge''
will perform at l: 15 p.m. in
the Study Skills Center. This
presentation will focus on the
ways performers transfer written material into stage productions.

Local book merchants will
offer a variety of books for

Family abuse-the veryÂ·real phenomenon
by Chris Gann

TORCH Editor

Nationally, men severely
abuse their wives in one of
every
ten
marriages.
One husband in every six
couples severely abuses his
wife at least once a year.
Every 12 seconds a man batters a woman.
In Lane County men batter
6,200 women a year.
Men's

violence against

women -- particularly women
they are married to -- was the
subject of the April 4 Brown
Bag Talk sponsored by the
Women's Awareness Center.
The numbers "are not easy
to hear" but "given those
statistics I'm assuming many
of you are involved in one way
or another," said Brown Bag

Womenspace, a shelter Â·home
for battered women and their
children, spoke to over 30 people assembled in the LCC
Board Room. The 90-minute
talk covered many aspects of
battering: The violent man's
personality profile, the part
social and religious attitudes
about spouse abuse play in
battering, the cycle of family
violence, and how the treatment program they run for
violent men tries to change the
pattern of violence.
Men who severely batter-who hit, kick, push, make
threats against their partners
lives, and abuse them emotionally and mentally -- are not
always agressive or a danger to
others outside the family. In
fact, said Eliason, they are
characterized by low selfesteem and a lack of assertiveness. Often, they ignore or
don't recognize "lower order
emotions,'' irritation, hurt, or
confusion, but "talk"
themselves into anger. And
violence is the only response
these men have to anger.
McClellan sai'd battering is a
learned behavior. Most batterers were abused by their
parents or saw their fathers
batter their mothers.
But McClellan believes battering behavior can be
''unlearned'' in anger management groups such as the one
she and Eliason lead.

A need to control

The man who batters his
partner is attempting to increase his self-esteem,
establish power, control and a
feeling of superiority over
women, said McClellan. He
usually believes being a
"macho" man means being a
"real" man.

The cycle of violence

The man's tension and
stress will build until it is intolerable. Often his wife will

The battering man has an
"excessive need" to control
his wife. He often expects her
to make him happy by always
anticipating his needs -reading his mind. He may
carry the need to control to extremes -- insisting he know
where she is at every moment
of the day, for instance. If she
is unable to satisfy these
"requirements," he sees a
justification to "punish" her.
' Paradoxically, the battering
man is ''very dependent emotionally on the woman -- totally dependent on her'' McClellan stated. If his wife
leaves him, he may say he
"can't make it" without her.

Unfortunately,
the
honeymoon phase actually
"reinforces" the cycle of
violence. The two know that if
they go through the violence,
"nice things" are on the other
end, Eliason said.
Within a marriage, the
beating cycle may occur as frequently as once every day or
every hour, or extend over
periods as long as once a year
or two years. But the phases of
the cycle are predictable, McClellan said.
McClellan believes our
culture sanctions violence. The
"real man" in Hollywood
productions solves his problems and conflicts by putting
up his dukes or by picking up a
gun.
Eliason said the church,
sometimes unknowingly, reinforces the dynamics with a
violent family.
Eliason, a Presbyterian
minister, says he's "not putting down religion,'' but often
the men he sees in the anger
management groups are at
least "pseudo-religious ... they
quote the Bible as justification" for their violent
behavior.
A member of the audience,
who said she works with battered women, said she finds
her victims within church communities. Battered religious
women -- whom she describes
as "long-suffering" -- face the
additional dilemma of trying always to be "joyous"
when their lives are less than
joyful.

Definitely ASLCC should take care

could then take care of national issues.
As a last priority, we would worry
about international issues.

Liz Turner
ASLCC of 1983-84 used many
methods to emphasize the importance
of student government to LCC. I
would like to take it a step beyond and
encourage student involvement and to
promote the use and advancement of
the existing student services.
The student government did an excellent job dealing with national and
international affairs. I feel that the
student money could be put to better
use here at Lane. Funds could be spent
on increasing student activities and
supporting all of the athletic teams.
Supporting national issues is important but we must spend time in
evaluating our own system.

moneyÂ·was not used to the student's
best advantage. Many of the school's
programs, including the sports programs, suffered from the insufficient
spending. The programs were forced
to support themselves independently,
with money which they earned
through odd jobs. They received absolutely no funds from the student
body budget.
The ASLCC should focus on campus issues only. They have been
spreading themselves too thin on other
issues and neglecting problems right
here at LCC. The ASL CC should start
asserting themselves toward problems
right here at Lane and get things done
for the students here.
The sports programs are suffering
severely from inadequate funding.
Lane CC is capable of having an excellent sports program with a little
help from the student government.

Brad Mowreader

This year's student government has
been highly involved in very significant issues. Human rights, militarism
in Central American and minority
rights among others. Through this activism they have brought to the fore a
resurgent interest in student government that has not been seen on this
campus in many years. Unfortunately,
this interest was generated due to
disputes over how our mandatory fees
were being spent and to what purpose.
Next year's members would do best to
focus their energies on supplying the
maximum amount of benefit to
students for the money spent.
Today's students are justifiably interested in and concerned with world
affairs. Our world gets smaller every
day and the woes of the needy reach us
with ever-increasing speed. Unfortunately, we still have woes of our own
that need to be answered. If we lend

our energies to supporting others, who
will aid us? Too many students
already have problems of their own -paying for their education, food, rent,
child care, etc. I would suggest that
the forum for addressing international issues be left to those individuals or nations that can already
meet their growing needs, not student
governments.
Student government is a job and a
class. Like any job or class that you
take, there is a job description or
syllabus that contains the requirements for successful c<;>mpletion.
Depending on how well you perform,
you should be recognized for your
achievement or lack of it. If you cheat,
you deserve reprimanding or firing
depending on severity. I hereby apply
for the job of ASLCC senator with the
following job description:
Provide useful student service; aid
students in getting a quality education;
familiarize industry with our
"product;" familiarize students with
industries' needs; initiate a teacher
evaluation system; help anyone that
will help themselves; and finally, insure accountability of student government.
The past can be described in everchanging reasons, but the results remain immutable.

From what I know and understand
the intentions were good, but I don't
believe they have really reached out to
help our students here on campus.
Most definitely, I believe the campus issues should be stressed.

Betsy Shand

This year's student government like
any previous student government tried
to the best of its ability to effectively
represent the views of the entire student body. Their efforts were bordering on the disastrous at times, but, we
have all learned from their mistakes.
Perhaps the one most important
characteristic of this year's student
government is the / act that they did
not discriminate against anyone on the
basis of race, creed, color, religion,
sex, age, handicap, marital status, sexual orientation, national origin or personal lifestyle in the administration of
their organization's operations. Good
and/ or bad they truly tried to represent the entire student body at LCC.
Some other things that they did were:
Student evaluation surveys; Peace
Week, Earth Week, Student Happenings newsletter; piped-in KLCC to the
cafeteria; revised the by-laws; supported a child-care program; put a
microwave in the SRC; supported and
promoted clubs; attended con: ferences, and_ in doing so persuaded
: the Commumty Colleges of Oregon
Student Association and Commissions
to hold the upcoming national conference in Eugene.

Steve Ramseur
There is no question that the
ASLCC made, and allowed, some
mistakes this year. Certain people
have spared no effort to rub our noses
in them. But I sincerely hope that this
does not have the effect of causing us
to lose sight of the hard work and
goals that were achieved. Namely,
such projects as: Implementing the
photo ID program, support for legal

services (both of which the "USA"
has vowed to eliminate), a project to
incorporate student evaluations of
classes as part of school policy, Peace
Week, Voter Registration Week
(which resulted in hundreds of new
voters), revision of outdated elections
by-laws, strong lobbying efforts in
support of financial aid for students
and the school, and more I don't have
room for.
A survey taken last year in the SRC
indicated student desires for the
ASLCC to focus on national/international issues, get KLCC piped into the
snack bar, more information about
ASLCC, and a microwave oven for
student use. All these projects were
addressed and achieved.
However, only a small portion of
the students responded to that survey.
Besides, this is a new year, and people's desires change. I feel that most
effective way to know (and therefore
work to address) the needs and wants
of the students is to use a survey during registration, when all students
have a chance to respond.
Only when the needs of the student
body are known can the ASLCC beeffective in meeting them. ASLCC
should serve students.
To conclude, I felt that this year's
student government worked hard to
meet what it perceived to be the wants
and needs of the students. But the
poor attendance at many of the events
last year leads me to believe that we
didn't accurately see what the students
wanted.
Rather than just griping, I am going
to do something about it. I plan to implement a survey of student wants and
needs for the ASLCC, so the next
year's student government will at least
know what the people they represent
want. Whether they are addressed,
depends on who gets elected.

beginning, a middle, and an end. The senate, like people, knows very little
about how things work in the beginning, learns more and more as it matures,
and has the best understanding of things in the end. It's an unfqrtunate pattern
that as soon as any given senate gets it all together, it's the end of the year and
the cycle begins again. The ASLCC senate is an educational, learning experience in leadership, decision-making, and the democratic process. As in
learning anything new, the more you practice the better you become. We
strongly feel the senate can benefit from the experience of people who've been
there and know the ins and outs of student governemnt well enough to be aggressively productive. As active 1983-84 senators we offer you our experience.
The senate has strived to improve student government by increasing services
and improving communication. There is now a microwave oven in the Student
Resource Center for student use, in a newly created second floor lounge that
served free coffee this year on Wednesdays. Research is Â·continuing on implementing a cooperative child care program and an effective teacher evaluation/ student feedback process. Meredith has been involved in this research
since she became a senator earlier this year.
After long delays KLCC is now broadcasted in the cafeteria. The senate has
supported and promoted student clubs all year, Communication between the
senate and the student body has improved somewhat through the Student
Happenings newsletter and several surveys and polls.
As we see it, there are two major areas of improvement needed next year -better budget management and improved internal and external communication. Most problems this year resulted from aggressive spending Fall and
Winter Terms and little or poor communication between senate proJect coordinators and the senate. This year's senate was hindered by a poorly written set
of by-laws -- our primary working document -- inherited from the previous administration. Several ballot measures in this election are to improve this document for next year.
Th_e 1983-84 budget has not been misspent, but could've been spent more
wisely. We want to re-prioritize budget expenditures to offer more services for
your student fees. We want to divide the budget into term allocations, by
rewriting the Fiscal Policy, so each term has money.
We want itemized requests in advance, spending limitations enforced, and
closer supervision of operating supplies.
A very large portion of the ASLCC budget is devoted to cultural events.
Poor attendance and too little variety was true of most events this year. We'll
offer a variety of higher quality events that are tied closer to individuar departments. We feel cultural events should be an extension of the classroom to
enrich your educational experience at LCC and increase attendance to these
events. We'll still have bands, but tie them in with other activities.
ASLCC communication can be improved by strong leadership and better
organization. We offer our background and experience in these areas to encourage stronger student input and more effective background research on
agenda items. Senate decisions are only as good as the information provided to
base these decisions on; this was a major problem with this senate's voting
record.
We maintain the ASLCC should focus on LCC issues first and foremost!
We also acknowledge the ASLCC's responsibility to provide students with
both sides of local, state, national, and international issues to create an informed electorate. Since 1984 is an election year, we want to provide literature
in the Student Resource Center on candidates and issues affecting you and invite candidates to campus to answer your questions.
We are moderate candidates concerned with people and our environment.
We will provide strong but sensitive leadership based on what we've learned as
ASLCC senators this year. Both presidential tickets are well-qualified for the
positions, you choice lies in the style of the two potential administrations.
We'll continue your current level of services while researching better ways to
serve you. We're two very positive, energetic, peace-loving, candidates
dedicated to serving you. Regardless of your choice -- please vote on April 16
and 17! ASLCC is you!

Mann: This year's student government has been organized to aid the needy.
Most of the expending of ASLCC funds can be traced to very giving and compassionate actions taken to aid the needy of war-torn countries. This show of
compassion is good. Compassion is needed in many areas. When I see those
around me struggling with shrinking financial benefits, I know the need is here
With the aid of the ASLCC senate I want to establish a scholarship fund to
aid LCC students. This fund would emphasize skill as well as need, be used to
help returning students, night students and the handicapped.
I feel job fairs should complement the educational process. For example
LCC may educate 100 data processing majors a year, but how many jobs are
found for these students? The ASLCC can help by having a Job Fair which
would invite employers to LCC to meet with students and review the qualifications for jobs with their companies.
â€¢
There may be three ballot measures on the ballot. One is a proposal to increase (pay) in hours for the ASLCC president from 15 hours a week to 20
hours a week. This was proposed by my opponent at last Thursday's senate
meeting. I oppose this measure because I feel that the present amount
budgeted for this purpose is ample compensation.
Another proposed ballot measure would change the wording of an article in
the constitution that now requires 10 percent of the FTE students to place a
measure on the ballot without the senate approval. This is, in my opinion, 270
signatures. The change you will vote on is to increase this number to between
700 to 800 signatures making it twice as hard to get a special election.
The last proposed ballot measure is to change the ASLCC constitution by
eliminating the use of a proxy vote in the Senate. This part of our constitution
was written to allow each senate member to voice his opinion when voting,
with an emphasis on being able to do so if sick or called away from Lane.
All students should be informed of both sides of these issues. I hope my opponents will give some of their time and share their opinions.
Chase: The present student government has spoken to hunger, social equality
and US military involvement around the world. I am sure they feel this policy
was a good one. I believe too many goals were set and the student government
was lost in its own quest for solving global problems.
The improvements I want to make are clear goal setting, and reporting on
our progress to you, the students. I wish to set goals to keep the students fully
informed and interested in our progress. I plan to ensure all people are given
my best work and not just a handshake.
ASLCC needs to look at all phases of student government and find the middle ground of campus and international issues. In my view, we need changes
now. We need:
â€¢ A disabled student commission
â€¢ A job fair.
â€¢ A disabled student access map of LCC
The international side will be handled on a fair, but not overbearing policy.
I plan to listen to all people and consider their views on what is happening in
our world around us.
ASLCC elections will be held April 16 and
17. The polling booth will be located in the
Cafeteria from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will be
move to the Snack Bar area from 5 to 8 p.m.
The polling booth will be open no less than 10
hours each day. Students must present their
photo ID cards when they vote.

Vice President Fran Johnson has submitted
this explanation of the measures students will
find included on their ballots:
â€¢ ASLCC President's Salary â€¢Â· For the last
six years the student body president has
received a salary for 20 hours of work per
week. This year, as a result of a
misunderstanding, the hourly limit was set at
15 hours per week. In reality the workdemands are closer to 35-40 hours per week.
The purpose of this ballot measure is to
restore the ASLCC president's salary to 20
hours per week.
â€¢ LCC a Nuclear Free Zone -- This ballot

measure offers LCC students the option of a
group voice in oppositon to the nuclear arms
race.
â€¢ Move proxy vote to By-Laws â€¢Â· This
measure would move the outline for proxy
votes from the ASLCC Constituion to the
ASLCC By-Laws. The ASLCC By-Laws are
a more appropriate set of documents for this
directive.
â€¢ Update and correct wording of ASLCC
Constitution Article XV, Section 5.0 that
outlines the procedure to be followed for
creating an initiatve, recall, or referendum
election. The ballot will show how this section reads now and the proposed change. As
this section currently reads, it is nonfunctional because FIE (full-time equivalency) is only a number. Numbers do not have
signatures, or vote. The proposed change will
state that the signatures of a minimum of 10
percent of currently enrolled credit stud' nts
will be required on petitions.

~~~~,hree file for -Cultural Director

While many basically good ideas have been pursued by
this year's senate, much of it's energy has, unfortunately,
been spent on projects that have caused more problems and
friction than anything else. I feel that it is important that
the new senate members be able to co-operate in order to
work for a positive student government.
I also feel that the new student government should hold
itself accountable to the students. It is particularly important that the new cultural director, who is personally
responsible for all the money to be used for events and student activities, make certain that student fees be used to
benefit students.
I believe it is the cultural director's responsibility to arrange events and activities relating to all issues that concern
students.
Many national issues are of direct importance tc
students, and if the student government, either by itself o
with other groups can help gain equitable pay for women,
increase the amount of money for Financial Aid or even
just keeping students informed about issues like nuclear
proliferation, than this is a positive value.
However, the new student senate must remember that
they are also responsible for the day-to-day activities on
campus as well.
As the new cultural director, I would make certain the
students have a direct voice in exactly what kind of events
their money is spent on by using questionnaires, having information on senate activities in the Torch and other such
methods of keeping communications open between the
students and the people they elect to be responsible for their
money.
In addition to working to keep the student government
accountable to the student body, I have a number of projects I would like to accomplish, such as:
â€¢ When hiring bands and similar types of performers, I
would work to hire students instead of spending hundreds
and thousands of dollars in student fees on off-campus
groups.
â€¢ Bringing back the free film program, which was cut
under this year's senate.
â€¢ Expand the facilities in the rec-center to include some
pin-ball machines, pool tables, or even a TV with cable.

The 1983-84 ASLCC is definitely one of the student
governments that LCC students can view with pride. This
year's groups consisted of people from many diverse
backgrounds with different values, yet all of these folks
came together to work in a cooperative manner.
One of the most commendable accomplishments is the
work of Vice-President Fran Johnson's efforts within the
college administration to establish more effective teacher
evaluations. It is important for this project to be continued
next year.
Another commendable area of work is the cultural program. Even though we have had $3000 less than last year, I
feel we have produced some of the finest quality and most
successful events the ASLCC has ever had. This was due to
such fine professional graphic advertising as well as having
more people involved in planning activities. The recently
sponsored performances of Wallflower Dance Collective
nearly sold out two nights in a row in the Performing Arts
Theatre which brought in well over $5,000 in ticket sales.
This was one of the most successful events in ASLCC
history. The upcoming Earth Week is another example of
quality cultural events that we sponsor.
The ASLCC Voter Registration Drive goes beyond all
precedents with a record breaking 1000 plus newly
registered voter. This kind of increase in student involvement is also shown by strong representation in state and national student associations such as COSAC and USSA.
These student associations lobby for stable funding to
secure accessibility of education in the future.
It i5 essential that the ASLCC's priorities be focused on
student needs through program services such as legal aid,
bus passes, childcare, etc. By the same token, it would be
very naive to not recognize how greater issues directly affect our education whether it is on local, state, national or
international levels.
Next November, on a state level, we will be facing Proposition 3, which is a tax limiation that would be financially
devastating to community colleges in Oregon.
Likewise, on a national level, the Reagan Administration
is proposing major cutbacks in all of the federal financial
aid programs. It is important to maintain equal educational
,
opportunity for all people.
So, when international issues are addressed, the correlation needs to be made as to how it relates to us. For instance
we can ask the quesiton, "Why are massive amounts of
resources being spent abroad while our educational institutions desperately need help?"

The student government has shown feeling and compassion for some very poor and unfortunate people. They have
given aid to men, women, and children living in El
â€¢
Salvador.
I would like to see efforts being made that would benefit
those people on the LCC campus who need help. There are
students who have trouble paying for tuition or books and
can barely get enough money together to have a decent meal
or have bus fare to get to school. These people are men and
women we associate with every day. They are right here on
our campus, and they need help from the student government.
On-campus issues should definitely be focused on first
and foremost. LCC was built for the benefit of the students
who attend there, and the student government should do all
it can to make the school a better place for all the students.
Improvements should be made that will benefit all students
and help to get them involved. The student government
should be on campus to ask what they can do for the
students, not what can the students do for them.
One of the many roles of the cultural director is to plan
and organize activities on campus such as after game
dances, parties and dinners. The!>e activities should be
design to offer enjoyment to the largest part of the student
body possible.
I have had a tremendous amount of experience in this
field over the last three years. I have organized everything
from senior proms and athletic picnics, to a formal sit down
dinner for 140 couples. I have organized committees, hired
bands, and designed decorations for school dances. These
dances have been quite successful and have helped students
-to get involved, something LCC needs desparately.

The following candidates did
not submit statements: Rob
Ferguson, Susan Firor, Nigel
Griffith, Shari Rose, R. Dean

Four candidates run for treasurer

John Morgus

I believe that Student Government
tried to do the best job it could this
year. The senate had seveal internal
problems that brought many negative
items to light, while overlooking the
positive things that student government did this year, like Peace Week,
Earth Week, child care support, and
the microwave.
The student government in 1984-85
should work to continue the support
for child care, Earth Week, and student feedback. Student government
next year should be more visible to the
students, and actively work to get student input.
ASLCC has made national and international concerns the area where
most of its effort is put. I believe that
ASLCC should focus more on the
Lane Community College needs, while
keeping aware of the national and international issues.
I believe that student government

snouia become more accountable to
the students at Lane. I believe that the
ASLCC treasurer should let students
know what their money is being spent
upon. The budget information should
be readily available to anyone who
would like to know budgetary details.
That is why I am running for
treasurer.

Robert Mitchell

As a candidate for ASLCC
treasurer, I have been asked to
evaluate this year's student government as to its good points. That question has troubled me for some time, as
very little information is available.
Just today I was asked by a student
what ASLCC was, she had never
heard of it. As an improvement for the
next year, better disemination of information to the general LCC student
body should be foremost.

As a student government, the
ASLCC should focus on the needs of
the LCC students, not the needs of
Central America. We must focus our
time and energy toward helping those
students on campus who need help
with tuition, book, and meals. There
are many organizations helping the
world, but only one, the ASLCC, to
help LCC students.

Ron Munion

My past experience in student
government (ASLCC treasurer
1982-1983) taught me to be frank and
honest.
This year's student government is
much more aggressive than past student governments. Many more
students are being served. In the past,
it was a given fact of life that cultural
events would lose money. Therefore,
it was shocking for me to learn this

year's student government has made
some profit from cultural events.

educate students about issues that affect them directly.

However, there are problems with
being so active. According to the present treasurer, many parts of the current buget have been frozen. This year
the ASLCC senate could leave the
legacy of being â€¢. the first student
government to have a deficit. This
means next year services could be curtailed to pay for this year's deficit.

Robyn
Braverman

The current treasurer shouldn't be
blamed for this predicament in any
way, because others are at fault. The
ASLCC senate has ignored its own
guidelines pertaining to fiscal policies.
The ASLCC's Fiscal Policy clearly
states that all expenditures of ASLCC
funds must have the approval of the
treasurer. This procedure hasn't been
followed this year.
The next student government must
prioritize its activities. Local issues
such as: Increased tuition, alternative
sources of funding, financial aid cuts,
reductions in our choice of courses,
should be the first reponsibility of our
student government. The so-called
"international issues" musn't be ignored. Our education must encompass
every facet :-i life.
What is needed is sound budgeting so
we can get the maximum return for
our student fees. This will enable the
ASLCC senate to fund activities to

The ASLCC seems wo have concerned itself with a wide spectrum of
projects ranging from college hirings
and teacher evaluations to lunchtime
music and other community events. It
is important to be involved with broad
and diverse activities to reach out to as
many people as possible. The ASLCC
has tried hard to obtain this goal and
has done a pretty good job of it.
As far as dealing with campus issues
and other issues, I feel that a balance
can be achieved between these two.
ASLCC is there to serve the students
of LCC, but all of us have a social
responsibility as citizens to involve
ourselves as to what is going on in our
community and our world.

'Splash' a love tail with an interesting new twist
by Jackie Barry

TORCH Associate Editor

"Splash" is a love story
with a twist. Yes, it's a typical
boy meets and falls in love
with girl tale. And, of course,
an obstacle to the everlasting
consummation of their love
presents its ugly head. Here is
where the twist comes in. It's
the tale, or rather, the tail of
the girl that presents a problem. Allen Bauer finally finds
the girl of his dreams and she
turns out to be a fish.
Tom Hanks as Allen Bauer
and John Candy as his brother
Freddie are hysterical in
places. Candy depicts a
stereotypical, girl crazy
bachelor perfectly, making his
entrance by driving into a pile
of produce crates at the family
produce warehouse. His sex
machine car radio is blasting
obnoxious rock music which
continues to blast as he pops

out of the drivers door waving
a stack of Penthouse
magazines, yelling, "They
printed my letter!" Meanwhile, brother Allen tries to
keep the business from collapsing as he leads an existence
devoid of true love. His quest
for meaning leads him to Cape
Cod in a wedding tuxedo
where he ends up getting
dumped out of a hunk of junk
boat and washed up on the
beach. Poor Allen. I had to
guffaw at the opening of this
scene where he lifts his sand
covered face up off the ground
and looks around miserably.
He convinced me.
The photography held my attention throughout the movie
and even impressed me in
spots. I liked the camera
tumbling along with Allen as
he gets knocked around in the
drink as well as the close-up
of him as he wakes up on the
beach.

Eugene Levy's portrayal of
the embittered Dr. Walter
Kornbluth, obsessed with the
notion of proving to his scornful colleagues that mermaids
do exist, is as good as his
former roles on Friday nights
SVTV program.
Now for the bad news.
Allen didn't convince me that
he was really miserable in his
frustrated attempts to find
true love. I also got sick of
Daryl Hannah's simpering
portrayal of Madison the mermaid.
Hanks, Hannah, and Director Ron (Richie Cunnungham)
Howard all had to learn how
to scuba dive for the film as all
underwater scenes were filmed
beneath the waves of the
Bahamas. Hannah did her
own stunts because she did a
better job than her doubles.
This was due primarily to her
extensive gymnastics and
dance background.

Robert Short's construction
of the mermaid tail was well
done, which was particularly
evident when Madison's identity was uncovered in public
~ she flapped her tail
â€¢fdrlornly on the sidewalk.

The story would have to
have a happy ending but the
build up was such that I didn't
mind. My three year old son
also liked the movie from start
to finish although his main interest was in Madison's tail.

'Misunderstood' good and sad

You remember, the ones that

there was no sex, violence, or
foul language. In an age when
movies such as "Porky's" and
"Where the Boys Are"
become box office hits, one

even remembers that "G" used to stand for good. Well, for
those of us who care, possibly
there is a glimmer of hope.

"Misunderstood" is a
movie which stars two of the
industries hottest child actors
-- Henry Elliot Thomas of
"E.T." and Huckleberry Fox
from ''Terms of Endearment.'' Fox delivers the
movies only two foul words
and the only "skin" in the entire movie is a shot of co-star
Maureen Kerwin's ankles. As
nice as they may be,
''Misunderstood'' could well
be rated "G" instead of
"PG."
The plot of the movie
revolves around the death of
Fox and Thomas' mother and
the turmoil of grief that
threatens to divide Thomas
from his close relationship
with his father, played by
Gene Hackman. The two are
separated by their inability to
communicate their true feelings to each other. Fox plays
the role of a cute five year old
who can do nothing wrong -which is about the only role a
five year old leading man can
play.
The movie is sensitive and
touching, with Director Jerry
Schatzberg ("Chariots of
Fire'') showing grief through
the eyes of a nine year old. In
accordance with Schatzberg's
style, music and scenery are
used in an effective combination. The location is the Northern Coast of Africa with
some beautiful coastal shots
serving as backdrop for some
very emotional scenes. The
,combinations are powerful.
prevails
Emotion
throughout the film, first with
the grief being shared by

Hackman and Thomas as well
as the feelings of separation
and misunderstood intentions.
Thomas tries in vain
throughout the film to win the
love of his father, who can't
seem to give it. Co-star Rip
Torn is the first t& notice
Hackman's distance, when at
bedtime he hugs Fox, but only
shakes hands with Thomas.
"You treat that kid like he's
got a disease and you don't
want to catch it,'' is the line
Torn uses to jar the father into
action.
Only at the end of the movie
do both actors break down in
tears after a powerful climax
of events. Skipping the details
of how the film ends, it is appropriate, but sad. Bring a lot
of Kleenex to this one . .
The movie is possibly too
cute at times. However, that is
the danger of child actors.
Thomas does a very believable
job of being a nine-year old
seeking to protect his younger
brother after the death of their
mother. Perhaps Fox could
have been a little less huggable, but he does a good job
as a mischievious five-year
old.
"Misunderstood" is not a
movie for people who like action. The theme is slow to present itself and slow to resolve.
And the story hardly gives the
audience a chance to blow
their noses before it puts them
in tears again, as almost every
scene is emotional.
For someone that doesn't

"Misunderstood" might seem

those of us in the world who

The Visitors soon to depart
by Jackie Barry

TORCH Associate Editor

If quality renditions of the
latest Top 40 Rock is to your
taste, you may want to catch
The Visitors at the Lone Star
Bar before Saturday night,
April 14 which is when their
visit will end.
Their music is extremely
danceable and many of their
numbers are so current as to
be just past new release status.
Since the music they play is
not original it begs for comparison to the original artists
and in most cases the results
are favorable. Politics of Dancing may belong to Reflex but
The Visitors do it justice with
rhythm guitarist, Sandy Murchy, forsaking his guitar for
vocals only and a little dancing
of his own. Van Halen's Jump
shows definite improvement
with The Visitors addition of
the "2001" theme as an introduction. Huey Lewis and
the News are a hard act to
follow and The Visitors rendition of I Want A New Drug
pales in comparison to the
original. Maybe Tuesday
nights rendition was not up to
the usual snuff. Or maybe the

spirit of the News, who had
just finished a performance at
the Hult Center a few blocks
away, was just too powerful._
The audience didn't seem to
care. They broke into spontaneous whoops of approval
when this song was played.
The band members, who
hail from Seattle, are Sandy
Murchy on rhythm guitar,
Dick Murchy (Sandy's
brother) on keyboards, Jay
Thomas playing lead guitar,
Dan Scott on bass, and Randy
Sangder on drums. They all
grew up in Aberdeen,
Washington except for Jay,
who i~ from Boise, and began
playing together five months
ago which surprised me considering how tight their playing was.
They looked good on stage
as well. Their performance
was not too flashy and not
staid by any means. All but the
drummer were wearing black
leather pants (fashionably as
opposed to delinquently)
which Sandy Murchy says are
not a uniform.
The Lone Star is located at
160 South Park in Eugene.

'Through
the Fire'
â€¢

by A.J. Fendrich

for the TORCH

HSAH: Through the Fire
pairs Sammy Hagar and Neil
Schon for an album of
original, gut-shaking compositions. The duo are joined by
bass player Kenny Aaronson
(Billy Squier Band) and drummer Michael Schrieve
(Santana).
The album was recorded live
during a series of performances last November, and
was supplemented with studio
overdubs.
Leading off with "Top of
the Rock,'' the band burns
through a set of nine songs
that push hard rock into uncharted waters.
"Through the Fire" is unquestionably Neil Schon's cut.
The guitarist cuts loose with
explosive energy -- energy
which is often restrained when
he plays with Journey.
Schon's extremely rapid and
melodic lead guitar solos are
breathtaking and inspiring.
His distinguished chordal
work bites with unparalleled
intensity and authority. To put
it bluntly, Neil Schon is one of
the most gifted and ferocious
guitarists on the rock circuit
today.

Unfortunately, Schrieve and
Aaronson are overshadowed
by the veterans they support; a
rhythm section of this caliber
can make the difference between a very good album and a
great one.
Sammy Hagar's vocals are
truly first rate, he is at home
singing the record's faster paced material. On the whole, the
album's eight original tracks
reflect the more aggressive attributes of Sammy Hagar and
Journey's music.
Combining the live performances with studio overdubbed guitar tracks is the best of
both worlds -- retaining the
spontanetity of a concert,
while filling the ''empty''
spaces during the guitar solos.
Lyrically, the record is
weak, yet the undertones of
cynicism and reproach
directed at their critics are
hard to ignore. In "Top of the
Rock" Hagar sings -"I've
taken a lot of lip, just to be
what I am ... Everybody wants
a little piece, they try to shoot
you down ... But you just ask
any kid on the street, he'll tell
you I'm ~ rocker."
If it does nothing else,
Through the Fire proves that
Sammy Hagar and Neil Schon
are still capable of playing
ro~k music that knocks down
walls.

the goal of $30,000 is reached.
KLCC's aging transmitter
fund will receive $5,000 from
this sum. Regular breakdowns
necessitate replacing the 23
year old unit which is scheduled to take place in the fall of
this year. Installation of a new
tranmitter would also

Failure not thought of by the Fischers; only Â·survival

by Susan &ler
for the TORCH

While the rest ,of us are settling down to sleep, Brady
Fischer begins the long drive
to an out-of-town mill. While
we sleep, he works an 8-hour
shift for $5 an hour. As we get
up for morning classes, he
leaves the plant and drives
back into Eugene.
By 8 a.m. he is in a math
class, struggling to stay awake,
and kno'wing he still has a full
day ahead and much
homework to do before he can
sleep.
"It's like you're in a hole,"
says Fischer, "with the ground
caving in all around you. All
you have to hold onto is a tiny
root. There you are, just
hangin' on for your life. It's
like a race, ya know? Who hits
the bottom first.
''~hether or not someone
else 1s wor~e off than you
makes no d1fference. Sure, I
know a lot of people who are
wor~e of~, and I'm gla_d 1_'m
~ot m their shoes, ~ut th mkm,g
hke that all the t1~e ~oes~, t
get me out of my situation.
The "situation" Fischer
wants to leave is a home that is
set up like a M.A.S.H. unit.
The home he shares with his
father and sister is that bare __
a small couch, a T.V., and a
bed in each of the three
bedrooms. "Everything in
here can be taken down and
packed in a few hours. When
the rent is due, and there's no
money, you get real good at
it." ,, _

And so they have. The family has split up a total of eight
times in the past two years,
moving Â· in with friends until
they could save enough money
to start again.
Money has always been slow
to come in Fischer's family,
and once there, the cash is not
always handled well. "WeÂ·buy
food day-to-day, with
whatever money there is. My
father never has enough
money on hand to shop once a
month, or every two weeks ...
but there always seems to be
enough money to pay the bill
for the video cassette recorder
he bought."
And Fischer's own ability to.
handle finances seems limited
also. "Of course I screw up on
what money I do have -- but
I've never had much to learn
with."
He says the only large sum
of money he's ever had is what
financial aid is now supplying.
Last year he received close to
$2,000, which paid for tuition,
some "rather large" book expenses, and other materials to
further his goal of attaining an
engineering degree.
After he paid tuition,
books, and other school expenses, he bought an "old
beater car'_' and did odd jobs
to pay for msurance. But after
paying rent to his father each
month, he's broke ag~in:
Help from the family 1s not
a matter he can discuss, says
Fischer. Two years ago, his
parents were divorced.
Fischer's mother moved out of
state, and his father was left
with the bills.

~ A victim of conflict
~

by Cynthia Zorich

-For the TORCH

"After he beat me in front
' of my three children, I
separated from my second
husband,'' Beth Ann explains
quietly.
It wasn't the first time he
had beaten or raped her, so
about a year and a half ago,
Beth Ann travelled across
country by bus for three days
with Tammy, Dana, and Jake,
who were 8, 3, and 6 months
respectively.
She chose Eugene for
reasons of her own, and she
arrived here virtually penniless. Through the help of
Womenspace and other agencies, she was able to establish a
household for her family.
LCC wasn't in the scheme of
things at this point -- escape
was her first priority, and remaining out of sight from her
husband is still important.
Even now she's afraid to file
for divorce: Her husband
might find her. '' And it will
cost $700, which I can't afford.''
Beth Ann isn't her real
name, of course, but it's one
she likes. A slender, curlyheaded blonde, she wears

enormous glasses that hide her
pretty eyes -- much as her
awkward demeanor disguises
the proud, sensitive woman
she is inside.
Life has been hard for Beth
Ann. Indeed, life is hard for
her now.
Before being an abused
wife, Beth Ann was an abused
child. About a year ago, doctors discovered that Beth Ann
had cervical cancer. She had a
hysterectomy. She also has a
damaged spinal disc. "Maybe
from the beatings. Who
knows?" she says. Her injuries make even carrying textbooks difficult.
Then, there are finances.
She and her children are living
on little more than $400 a
month plus food stamps, but
Beth Ann has never in her 29
years felt better about her
ability to care for herself and
her children. "I know what
it's like to be poor," she
muses. "But would you
believe that me and my kids
have more now than when we
lived with my husband, and he
made three times as much. It's
because I'm in charge now."
She's a woman who is com..
ing to realize she controls her
continued on page 15

After collection agencies
garnished more â€¢ than twothirds of Mr. Fischer's check,
there wasn't enough money to
supply the family through the
month. "That's when we
started moving all over the
place," said Fischer. "It's the
scariest feeling in the world.
To not know if you're gonna
eat, if your car has enough gas
to get out of the driveway, no
money for the bus, no change
to call a friend for a ride.
"Worst of all," Fischer
adds, ''was trying to explain to
my little sister why she
couldn't have new clothes. Try
to tell a 12-year old that any
jeans, much less designer
jeans, are out of the question.
Or better yet, try and tell the
little kid that there isn't any
food in the house.
"Right now, we're doing
pretty good, so I shouldn't

â€¢

complain.', He says the
refrigerator is fuller than
usual, and, at their home, his
younger sister refers to it as a
''full fridge.'' The contents?
Some cheese, a few bottles of
condiments, a head of lettuce,
and half a pound of hamburger. "We eat a lot of burritos," Fischer says, "refried
beans are cheap."
The option of doing
something a "little bit" illegal
intrigues Fischer more than it
promises money. "I've always
wondered just how much I
could really make pushing
drugs, but I doubt if I'd ever
do it." Fischer adds, laughingly, "Prostituting myself
sounds pretty good, though!"
As for the future, it seems
brighter. Next year Financial
Aid will award him more
money than this year, and if he
continues to work at his new

job, he'll be able to help pay
monthly bills.
At this time the problem is
more than monetary. "My
dad keeps putting more and
more pressure on me. Borrowing a little bit here, a little bit
there. I can't support my
whole family myself. I don't
know what happens to my
father's paychecks, but I do
know that they never go far
enough. He makes more than I
do a month, and I make
around $600, so where does it
go? I don't have the slightest
idea.''
What happens if Fischer
doesn't make it?
"I only hope that I don't
become one of those people
who take everyone else they
can grab down with them. But
I don't think about failure.I
can't give myself any room for
that.''

Woman and child aim to be happy
~

by William Gray
for the TORCH

(Editor's note: To protect
the privacy of, and to avoid
undue embarassment to this
young woman and her son,
their real names are not being
used.)
"It can't get any worse, only better,'' says the attractive,
twenty-one year old mother of
a four year old boy. Reflecting
on her unfortunate past, she
gives an insight to her optimistic attitude.
"I was one of 'those' girls,
who dropped out of high
school, got married and had a
beautiful baby boy." Carol's
blonde hair cascades down to
rest casually about her neck
and shoulders, accenting an
innocent face with lips that
part slightly, and large, intense
blue eyes.
With a sheepish grin, she
admits that the chain of events
did not necessarily occur in
that order. "Much to the
disappointment of my parents,
I became pregnant before I
was married, and before I had
the opportunity to graduate.''
Against the wishes of her
family and friends, she opted
to keep her son. "I was equally responsible, if not solefy
responsible, for conceiving
this child. He is part of me
that I just couldn't give up,
not for anyone." Her son,
Bryan, arrived in the usual
way, and she soon married.
Leaving high school to care
for her son and husband, her
life appeared to be the proverbial "bowl of cherries." And
for the first couple of years,
their lives moved along
smoothly, with few problems,
''it was a meager existence,
but we were happy at the
time."
The conversation ends there
for the moment, as she sits in
her aunt's kitchen, and stares
into her third cup of coffee,

virtually expressionless -- as if
pondering some great
philosophical theory.
Looking up, her blue eyes
not as bright as before, she
says, "I guess it was about the
time Bryan was three, that
things sort of started falling
apart."
Her husband lost his job,
and as a result of his limited
education, and perhaps a
depressed job market, he was
unable to find steady employment. She describes the last
couple of years as an
"on-again, off-again" relationship, using the various
public assistance agencies in
the area as their primary
means of survival.
Again, she studies the
brackish, brown contents. of
her cup that are now lukewarm and not really fit to
drink; ''there were a lot of
things wrong, many of which
could not and would not ever
change or improve."
As a result of these overwhelming ''problems,'' she is
now in the midst of a divorce.
"Suddenly,Â· I found myself
thrown into the position of
having to make some critical
decisions as to my future and
that of my son.''
Alone -- with her son as the
one driving~ motivating factor
in her life -- she packed her
old, two-tone green Datsun
B210 with the remnants of her
previous life. Not a lot to pack
really . .' . .some clothing,
dishes, linens... the ususal
things -- as well as an old high
school annual, a tattered, stufsome
and
bear,
fed
phonograph records.
.mementos from a happier
time.
"Instead of going home to
'mother,' I borrowed enough
money from friends to rent a
small apartment." They live

within walking distance of the
home of her aunt, who cares
for Bryan when Carol is working, or at school. Once again,
she says, "I was forced to depend on public assistance for
our support."
Her apartment is small,
basically one room except for
the bathroom. Against one
wall sits a twin bed that
doubles as a sofa. The only
other pieces of furniture in the
"living room" area are an
over-stuffed chair and an aged
corner stand. The kitchen consists of a small table with two
chairs, a two burner hot plate,
a waist-high refrigerator, and
a very small sink.
''Some would call it small,
but I prefer to call it 'cozy.' It
only costs me $75 a morith,
and that includes utilities.''
Her plans now include continuing her education. A few
months ago she acquired her
GED through LCC, in
preparation for attending college. Beginning at Lane, her
goal is to earn a degree so that
she can do social work,
perhaps working with and
helping under-privileged
children. '' I really love
children," she says, "and I
think working with children
can be very gratifying and
emotionally rewarding.''
With the income from her
part-time job as a waitress,
and an occasional government
grant, she feels confident that
her goal is within reach. She
has a strong desire to succeed,
and to provide a good home
and future for herself and
Bryan.
As Bryan enters the room
and goes to his mother, she
gives him a hug that only a
mother can give her son, "I
know the ,next couple of years
are goin.& to be tough and
meager, but we are going to be
happy," she says with inte,se
conviction.

On a positive note, another
audience member said she had
recently seen a segment on battering broadcast on the 700
Club evangelical television
show. Hosts of the show told
viewers that the Bible does not
condone wife abuse and
women should not blame
themselves for their husband's
actions.
Anger Management
McClellan and Eliason ha~e
headed the anger managment
group for about a year. McClellan saidÂ· the men's group
developed when Womenspace
staff members realizing they
were only working with 50 percent of the "abusive population" when they took battered
women into th~ shelter home.
"We'd help one woman get
out of a relationship with a
man, and a year later we'd be
helping another woman get
out of a relationship with the

samf! man. "

And she said these men need
the
therapy
because,
"Although there is a great
power imbalance (within the
marriage) the men are still in a
great deal of pain."
When the discussion began
Eliason warned counselors in
the audience not to counsel
married couples until the
violence in the relationship has
stopped. "Marriage counseling before violence stops is at
best ineffective, and at its
worst makes the violence
worse."
He explained that during
therapy sessions information
will surface ''when the
(emotional/communication)
skills to handle it aren't
developed,'' and after the session the couple may go home

and "go at it."
two counselors said. Quite
often, when the woman
returns home the man quits
the group. Eliason said a
group leaders' challenge is to
get some "internal motiva-Â·
tion'' going within the man so
that he wants to help himself,
and not simply to attend
group sessions so his.wife will
return.
In Lane County, anger
management therapy is not
court mandated. In fact, McClellan says, "Rarely does an
assault case against a woman
go to court." Although local
po.lice officers have become
more and more helpful in
these cases, the cases usually
don't get beyond the District
Attorney's Office. McClellan
said that of the women she's
worked with at Womenspace
she is aware of only one such
case being brought to court in
the past five years.
When the police arrest a
man for assault against his
wife, the woman can press
charges or the District Attorney's Office has the discretionary power to press chaq~es
against him. But it's fauly
common for women to change
their minds about pressing
charges
against
their
husbands. And this may make
the District Attorney's Office
reluctant to press charges.
Even so, McClellan would
like to see the District Attorney's Office put more emphasis on wife abuse prosecution by ''picking up and
following through on a lot
more cases."
She said more vigorous prosecution in spouse abuse cases
says that "society takes cases
of wife abuse seriously." In
the long-term, she hopes to see
courts mandate men into treatment programs just as they do

"It's not that I want to see a
lot of men in jail," McClellan
said. Instead, ''part of the
'denial system' leads (men) to
deny (they) have a problem"
and keeps them from seeking
treatment on their own.
In the weekly sessions the
counselors help group

members begin "unlearning
the violent behavior patterns
by first giving them
"permission" to talk about
the feelings underneath the
â€¢ anger. The men also learn
about body language that can
"cue" them to their emotional
states, and keep "anger journals'' to focus on situations
that make them angry and the
ways theyÂ· handle the situations. Assertiveness training is

also part of their treatment
Eliason explained.
Cost of the men's anger
management group is $15 per
week. The fee of an initial session with Eliason is negotiated
individually. Men who are interested in joining the group
can call Womenspace at
685-1527 or Eliason at

own destiny, and she's appreciating and expanding on
this awareness more each day.
There's hardship, but there's
anticipation of better things to
come -- and the challenge to
suceed, to make good. For example, Beth Ann refers to
herself as "resourceful" when
she
tells
how
she's
"scrounged" clothing and
other personal effects for
herself and her three children
from dumpsters. "People
throw away perfectly good
clothes. You wouldn't believe
it." In the children's room she
proudly exhibits a toy box,
minus a lid, which she has also
salvaged in this manner.
The tiny, two-bedroom
apartment in which the four of
them live is cluttered with toys

and clothing, but it's pleasantly arranged with furnishings
she has been given or purchased cheaply. "You've got to be
resourceful,'' she says, as she
sips her coffee. "That's all
there is to it."
She's put plants in the windows, and her books, which
line part of a wall in the living
room, are an eclectic collection, from Frances Parkinson
Keyes to Carlos Castaneda. A
pot of beans for the next
night's dinner is soaking on
the stove in her miniscule kitchen.
She hears a loud whoop
from Jake, who is playing in
the bedroom with his sisters.
After she quiets him, Beth
Ann talks about LCC, where
she is a new student this term.
She's attending Lane to obtain
her GED and secretarial training. "I want to be a legal

secretary," she confides. "Or
get a government job. They
have such good benefits."
Then she could take care of
her children without assistance
from anyone. She's discovering that the ability to take care
of herself and her children, the
opportunity to be independent, is very important.
Beth Ann pats a tired Jake
on the back, rocking back and
forth, as she talks. "I do have
a lot of pride, you know. And
sometimes it's really hard.
Like with the food stamps.
Some of those checkers make
you feel like dirt. They don't
know what it's like."
Although the going gets
tough -- like when the kids
need to bo to the dentist on
one side of town, Beth Ann
has to go to classes on the
other side, and they're depen-

dent on the buses -- she can get
discouraged. She doesn't
blame anyone else for her
situation, though she finds
that dealing with the agencies
that are supporting them to be
frustrating sometimes.
Like now: She says they
want to cut her food stamps
because of the Vocational
Rehabilitation grant she's
allowed for a babysitter. And
she needs a certain type of
notebook for one of her
classes, but she won't be able
to buy it until she receives her
next check. A friend says that
Beth Ann doesn't have enough
money to buy an alarm clock
to wake herself up in the mor,ning: She relies on that friend
to get her up so she can send
her daughters off to school,
take her son to the babysitter,
and get herself to LCC classes
on time.

Beth Ann knows what it is
to be homeless. And hungry.
She knows what it is to be
frightened, lonely, depressed.
She understands the problems
inherent in being dependent on
the system for every nickel it
takes to care for herself and
her children. But, in spite of
all the hardships, the kicks in
the teeth, she's going to make
it.
"When it's really hard I can
let off steam to friends or my
family. And I'm using family
counseling, too.'' She pauses a
moment. ''They all know
where I'm coming from, what
I'm dealing with. They'll give
advice without judging me.''
She pours Jake a glass of
milk, which he promptly
spills: "God, I hate being
broke," she exclaims.
She is -broke. But Beth Ann
isn't poor.
