From the age of 7 until she reached 11 and
learned to avoid them, she was raped regularly by
three of her brothers and a cousin. The boys were
from 14 to 19 years of age.
"When I would say 'please don't do that,' or
'don't hurt me,' they would just ignore me." Her
voice weakens as she speaks. Strained and defensive, she continues: ''My cousin said if I said
anything they would just lock me away."
Sara Day (not her real name) is an LCC student
who is poor, and not ordinary. Sexually abused by
three of her brothers and a cousin, beaten by her
mother, processed by the school system, divorced
twice, this mother of three has had a turbulent
life.
Her first two children -- the twins -- were born
out of wedlock. One was born brain-damaged and
had to be institutionalized at the age of 4. As the
other boy grew up, he spent time in many of
Oregon's juvenile institutions for his crimes of
theft and vandalism, although he is now living
with his father in California, and doi11:g well.
Sara did eventually marry the father of the
twins, but she says the marriage lasted only 72
days. In her second marriage, she unknowingly
sentenced herself to a year and a day with an
alcoholic.

attending LCC. Although the
furnishings of his apartment
reflect his low-income status,
he claims "this is the nicest
place I've had in years."
"I'm doing pretty good

years ago I hitchhiked out here

backpack and a $ IO food

1981 I was so poor I had to live
out of my car for six weeks in
the middle of winter, using the
vacant lot across the street for
a bathroom. I just couldn't
find a job anywhere."
Learning how to survive on

low-income people have to
deal with. "I can't afford too

Sara is a competent shopper. ". . . Once in a

that is it." She laughs. "You don't go to Wards or
Penney's or any of those places. I'm a real generic
shopper.''
Her will to survive, her innate ability to develop
survival skills under more than trying conditions,
keep her going.
An unhappy childhood, problems with her own
children, her time in therapy, the support of the
women at the LCC Women's Center-- all these experiences influenced Sara's decision to study for a
career in counseling. Just two classes away from
her A.A. degree, she's looking forward to attending the University of Oregon. "I want to counsel
young people. They are not communicating with
their families because the families aren't listening.''
She is often engaged in animated conversation
at the Women's Center. She speaks glowingly of
the positive support she receives there, and her
new, positive outlook is apparent when she says in
three short sentences who she is:
"I am a person with a goal.
''I am a person with potential.
"I deserve a decent share of life."

Sara fed and clothed her small family from her
wages as a waitress, and paid for a babysitter from
her tips. But she was passed-over for a promotion.
Then the government started taxing her vital tip
money. The strain and pressure kept building and
soon Sara had what she calls a slight breakdown
and found herself on prescribed drugs and
welfare. She had to borrow money from her exhusband for psychological help. Sara had hit bottom.
Despite all of these ordeals, her future is
brighter now -- partly due to LCC.
"I like what I'm doing because it is not only
that I am getting a better education, I'm broadening the scope of things I know about the world ...
. It makes me feel better about myself, because I
can do things that I never dreamed I could do
before.''
She says she was pushed through high school:
She was a problem student placed in special classes
that generated diplomas without much substance.
So at LCC Sara has had to complete skills classes
in English and math to build a foundation for college coursework.
She's in her early forties now, almost plump,
seemingly fashionably dressed. She says her
welfare experiences have prepared her for life as a
student.

Earth Fair '84

New waste recovery program for Lane County
by Jackie Barry

TORCH Associate Editor

Commissioner Rust speaks of high hopes for county
waste proposals.

Is there anything interesting
to be said about garbage? In
Lane County there is and
Commissioner Jerry Rust said
it at noon on April 16 as part
of the Earth Week presentations.
Suggesting that we go to a
''compost standard instead of
a gold standard,'' Rust informed listeners of the state of
waste recovery past, present,
and future in Lane County.
In 1983, Rust was finally
able to find the support of two
other commissioners on the
county board which enabled
implementation of an
"ambitious" waste recovery
plan for Lane County. The
plan is to recover 10 percent of
the county's waste for each of
the next five years, reducing
the total amount of waste by

50 percent. The Glenwood
dump site will be redesigned to
recover waste and when Lane
County writes a new fee-takers
contract in the next year it may
include requirements for
recovery activites to be performed by anyone wishing to
obtain the contract. He pinpointed Berkeley as having an
ideal set up with vehicles having "to run the gauntlet" of
all the recycling options before
they can unload unuseable
waste. To further implement
this set up the public is
educated by dump personnel
on how to load their vehicle-stratification of load--so that
layers can be peeled off as
dumpers run this gauntlet. A
computerized scale weighs the
recyclable waste as dumpers
pass through, adding the
various amounts together and
issuing a refund check within

minutes as dumpers depart.
Rust informed his audience
that groundbreaking took
place for a compost pile at the
Glenwood dump site on April
16. Initially it will consist of
preselected, preshredded
organic material with no major purchase of equiptment
taking place until ''we see how
it goes."
Calling Lane County's attempts at converting waste into fuel in the late 1970' s as
"our own version of WPPSS," Rust pointed out that
it's unavoidable when burning
garbage to produce poison
gases such as dioxins. On a
more positive note, Rust said
he believes Lane County's 17
recycling centers, which are
part of the 18 site dump net- ,
work, can't be matched in
numbers by any other Oregon
county.

Future power outlook is somewhat less than welcome
by Ellen Platt
TORCH Associate Editor

Lane County Commissioner
Peter Defazio discussed ''the
Energy Future in the Northwest", Monday April 16,
saying that we are "at a significant crossroads in the North west with the WPPSS
debacle still happening.''
Defazio predicted that
"We'll have a surplus (of
energy) until 1990, and then
we'll have a crisis, and build
more WPPSS plants.'' He
cited pressure on the Bonneville Power Administration
(BP A) and the Public Utilities
Commission (PUC) by the
thermal and power industries
"to back away from conservation" as the primary obstacles
to continued energy conservation measures.
Referring to the BP A as
"the largest, most powerful,
least accountable unit of
government in Oregon, and
probably the US,'' Defazio
pointed to inaccurate energy
consumption predictions by
the BPA as the background to
the current Washington Public
Power Supply System
(WPPSS) problems.
The BPA's hydro-thermal
program planners predicted
"20 nuclear plants in the Northwest by 1990," and
"electricity too cheap to
meter.'' Several assumptions
account for "how such a
mistake was made'' says
Defazio.
First, the BPA assumed
people would increase their
power use at a steady rate indefinitely, regardless of rate
increases.
Second, it was taken for
granted that the Northwest
had to be "energy selfsufficient" and that the power
lines connecting the Northwest
to other parts of the West were
"considered one-way." This

fails to take into account
seasonal variations in power
use in the West -- California
and the Southwest use more
power in the summer for air
conditioning, while the Northwest uses more energy in the
winter for heating.
Third, the BP A system is
geared for an ''energy
emergency'' -- '' all power
planning revolves around
meeting that demand'' on the
coldest day of the driest year
(a four-year droµght in the late
1920s is the basis for determining the ''critical low water''
level in the Columbia).
Defazio describes it as
"absurd to build and pay for
this energy emergency,''
without considering the
possiblilities of consumer conservation or industry shutdown in the event of an energy
shortage. He adds that there is
a power generation potential
of 4,000 megawatts (or 4
nuclear power plants worth) in
the BP A system.
When the Pacific Northwest
Power Act was written ''some
conservation provisions were
added after a long fight" by
Congressman Jim Weaver and
other legislators. These give
preference to "cost effective"
conservation, the development
of renewable resources, before
building thermal generating
plants, Defazio stated.
Despite these directives, the
BPA has written "new contracts to WPPSS reobligating
themselves for the debt",
assuming an ''$8 billion debt
with no public process involved" asserts Defazio. In addition, the BPA budgeted "$177
million for conservation
measures, and $800 million for
WPPSS" interest payments
this year.
Other actions by the BP A
and the PUC indicate they are
''not thinking of how long it
takes to get an energy conser-

vation program going'' states
Defazio. Besides the budgeting
priorities of the BP A, Public
Utilities Commissioner Gene
Maudlin has published a study
"questioning the wisdom of
conservation in a time of
energy surplus,'' and has sugreins tall i ng
gested
''progressive rate schedules,''
which give rate breaks to consumers and industries which
use more electricity.
Defazio says "all these
pushes are to prevent a crisis in
ten years, "by spending $2
billion on WPPSS not conservation." Currently electricity
costs 4 cents per kilowatt
hour, when WPPSS actually
produces power, it will be at 4
times this cost, or 10-12 cents
hour.
kilowatt
per
''Conservation will be the
loser unless we get organized
to prevent plants we don't
need" asserts Defazio.
Alternatives to WPPSS

Although Defazio admits
that "right now I'm not real
optimistic,'' he suggested
several energy conservation
measures which could create a
"self-supporting system."
Among these were increasing conservation now so that
the energy surplus could be
projected. "If we can project
surpluses 15-20 years into the
future, we can sell 'firm
power' (guaranteed amounts)
to other states at three times
the rate they pay now.''
Observing that conservation
provides local and state jobs
through weatherization programs and long-term power
sales, Defazio suggests the
funds could be used for further conservation measures
creating more surpluses ''thus
it would become a selfsupporting system.''
Defazio says while ''the
Pacific Energy Council is

Defazio discusses energy future.

pushing the BPA to conservation," another measure to encourage conservation would
be a different selection process
for the Public Utilities Commissioner.

At this time the governor
appoints someone to the position. Defazio envisions someone who is "elected or advised by a citizen council."
"The PUC should represent
the consumer interests before
the BPA; but he (Maudlin)
doesn't choose to do that."
While current con r ation
goals are being met, ''the Northwest Power Council has no
control over the BP A. If the
BPA says don't conserve, they
can only use moral suasion to
effect the BPA.''
Defazio concludes that the
"slow approach to conservation in the last few years" on
the part of utilities that buy
from the BP A is because they
"can't approach conservation
too quickly or their rates
rise.''

'Sister Eileen' star sets sights high

Stigmatization discourages
the seeking of tutorial help

by Chris Gann
TORCH Editor

by Marisela Rizik

TORCH Staff Writer

"Students of color do not flunk, they get discouraged.'' And that is when they start having academic problems says Jan Oliver, who spoke at a meeting sponsored by the Multicultural Center April 11.
Oliver, assistant director of the Council for Minority
Education (CME) at the University of Oregon, discussed some of the services offered by the CME through the
UO as well as the problems encountered by transfer
students in general.
Oliver blames "stigmatization" and the fear of being
considered dumb as reasons which keep minority
students from seeking tutorial help and making use of
the available counseling. As a result, they fail to communicate their difficulties and become discouraged.
Oliver says transfer students are having similar problems and are reluctant to attend the proper orientation-assuming they already know what is going to be
presented or that they don't need to know it. This
"dangerous assumption" can lead to serious academic
difficulties and with it discouragement, she says.
To help minority students cope with large lecture
classes, CME sponsors composition (WR 121, 122, 123)
and mathematics courses. These courses are not
remedial or easier, simply more personal. The courses
are limited to 15 students with priority given to minority
students. To facilitate individual attention, the instructors are paid more to do their own grading Oliver says.
"See yourself as a consumer, ask for what you're
paying for -- ask questions," Oliver advises students.
The CME office is located on the third floor of
Oregon Hall, the Administration Building, University .
of Oregon. Regular hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. To avoid
a last minute rush, an appointment is advisable though
it is not required.
Black college opportunities next topic

The Multicultural Center is sponsoring an information session for students interested in learning about
educational programs and opportunities at black colleges.
According to an article that appeared in the Jan. 16,
1984 edition of the Oregonian, officials of black colleges say that a black student is more likely to complete
studies successfully at a black school than at a white
school. Black schools historically have done a better job
of motivating and stimulating their students says Herman Branson, president of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania.
Ms. Pearl S. Gray, affirmative action officer at
Oregon State University (OSU) and Co-chairperson of
Portland's Black Colleges Committee, will be at Lane
Community College on April 23, 1984 between noon
and 1 p.m., in the Center Bldg., Room 219, to offer insights and suggestions.
For more information, please contact Kent Gorham
at the Multicultural Center, Center 209, or extension
2276.

She's a young professional actress who'll
soon be heading for a bigger career in Los
Angeles. And this month she's playing the part
of a young aspiring actress looking to ''make
it" in the Big Apple.
But that's about all Serena Scholls and Eileen
McKenny, the character she plays in "My Sister
Eileen,'' have in common. The comedy opens
on LCC's Performing Arts Theatre stage April
27.
Serena, who earnd a BA in performing arts
from the University of Southern California in
1982, began acting here in Eugene when she was
10 years old. The only "acting job" poor Eileen
can get, however, is passing out samples of
chewing gum.
Serena attended LCC. for four terms in
1978-79. As a perfoming arts major she played
in "The Mad Woman of Chaillot." She
transfered to USC in 1979.
She moved back to Eugene about a year ago.
Since then she says she's been \\'.Orking in TV
and radio commercials and played the role of
Fleur Stein in "Miss Reardon Drinks a Little"
at the University of Oregon this past winter.
This term Serena is also taking an acting class
from Ed Ragozzino -- something she says she
didn't have the opportunity to do when she first
attended LCC.
"My Sister Eileen" is a comedy set in 1940.
Author Ruth McKenney based the stories on
the experiences, with embellishments, she and
her sister Eileen had as young adults.
The play is filled with goofy characters and
slap-stick humor -- stock forumlas of family
humor and old movies.
In ''Eileen'' the McKenney sisters move from
Columbus, Ohio to a Greenwich Village basement apartment in New York City. Eileen,
whom Serena describes as a ''naive, dumb,
ding-bat,'' wants to be an actress. The more

"My Sister Eileen."

level-headed Ruth aspires to a writing career.
Stan Elberson directs ''Eileen'' and Bruce
Bibby creates the sets.
Pat Matteri, a local actress and teacher at
Roosevelt Middle School, plays Ruth. The part
of Mr. Appopolous, the sisters' eccentric Greek
landlord, is played by Pat Michalek. Other actors in the production are Lyn Burg, Anthony
Reid, Renn Pupke, Sandra Williams, Katherine
Karhoff, Steve Schmunk, Pat Brand, Daniel
Ryan, Kae Friesen, John Wilson, Kyle Pace,
and Owen Wright.
After the opening, "My Sister Eileen" will
also be performed on April 28, and May 2-5.
Curtain time is 8 p.m.

Green & Newby: At the movies-'Moscow on the Hudson'
by Mike Newby
and Mike Green

a big part of what makes it so
good is the acting of Robin
Williams.

Life in Moscow can be a
total bummer at times. Imagine a saxaphonist with the
Moscow Circus who waits in
line for shoes that don't fit, or
for a roll of toilet paper. Such
is life for Vladimir Ivanoff,
portrayed by Robin Williams
in "Moscow on the Hudson,"
a movie about the freedom we
Americans take for granted.
Green: It's a delightful
movie, because it portrays the
defection of a Russian citizen
in a light-hearted vein. I found
myself cheering for Vladmir as
he faced readjustment to a
totally foreign culture. It was
easy to get caught up in the
film. It's a very good film and

Newby: I'll have to agree,
but not whole-heartedly.
Robin Williams is one of my
favorite personalities ("Mork
and Mindy,'' ''Garp,''
''Popeye'') -- he always makes
me laugh. In "Moscow" I
laughed as he went from one
calamity to the next, but I expected more situationcomedy, and less filler sexscenes.
Green: Yes, I expected a little more comedy also. But I
think "Mork" type comedy
would have taken -away from
the story.

TORCH Staff Writers

Newby: This movie accentuated drama and comedy in a
pleasant way. First, Vladimir
is -in Russia struggling to survive: Standing in bread or
toilet paper lines have become
second-nature. Humor is only
found in his grandfather, a
Russian comic, who makes a
point of flipping off government officials and shouting
obscenities about the Kremlin
from his window.

Then Vladimir makes a trip

to America with the circus and
defects in Bloomingdale's
Department Store. His life is
chaotic at first with his new
black family, Cuban lawyer,
Italian girlfriend and Jewish

boss. It was interesting to
watch how he adjusts to our
multicultural society.
Green: The underlying
theme of all the cultural mixes
is patriotism. The movie at-

tempts to show us just how
valuable our freedoms are.
The message is obvious -we're lucky to live in the home
of the free .... And also to have
plenty of toilet paper.

Latarski's album climbs charts
by Kevin Harrington

TORCH Staff Writer

Unbeknownst to most of his
students, LCC guitar instructor Don Latarski has a critically acclaimed album on the
charts. Lifeline, the thirty
year old U of O graduate's second album, has hit number
16 on the national jazz
playlists. According to Latarski, the making of the album
was neither quick nor inexpensive. "P.A.U.S.A. ' records
agreed to release, promote and
package it, if I would furnish
them with a finished master,
which I paid for through a
consortium - of backers. We
recorded it at Triad Studios
here in Eugene for $15,000.
Studio time and musicians
were the two biggest costs. We

used 150 hours of studio time
at about $50 per hour.''
Despite the albums modest
commerical success, Latarski
is "not exactly rich" and will
continue to teach guitar at
LCC and the U of 0. "I just
want to keep putting albums
out because if you want to be a
viable artist and be taken
seriously you have to have
product.''
Latarski may have little problem finding a label in the
future. "I'm seriously considering starting my own label
with a few other people, so we
can have more control over the
product and how it's marketed
and promoted. I know that
I'm very young at this yet, but
having made a couple of
albums, I've learned of some
important things that I would

like to see changed.''
Lifeline, which also
features Dan Siegal, can best
be described as accessible jazz.
One does not have to be ''into
jazz" to enjoy this instrumental album of original compsitions.
The tunes on Lifeline
provide a wide variety of tempos and styles - from the
funky-bassed, soul influenced
title track, to the pretty,
classical sounding "Night Riddle." The up-tempo "Lost to
Love" was my favorite
though, with its good sax and
dancing guitar riffs.
Persons wishing to augment
Don Latarski' s income can
purchase Lifeline at Earth
River and Cat's Meow
Records in Eugene, among
other outlets.
