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. ~ ~ _, 'lCJ/1& . •n-• ~-· ... for the TORCH A bare lightbulb hangs from the ceiling of the small attic crawlspace spreading stark light over the foam pad on his .floor.

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 these days," he says. "A few years ago I hitchhiked out here from Tennessee with my backpack and a $ IO food stamp in my pocket. Once in 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 nothing is a challenge most low-income people have to deal with. "I can't afford too many luxuries," Tom says. "I use a nearby dumpster when no one is around because I can't afford garbage service. I shampoo my hair with the lea. especially ~o ~phant w~en corere t-1da. scwa/ <.... ~ ~ same soap I wash with and I brush my teeth with water,'' he says, explaining routine choices. "You can't buy shampoo and toothpaste with food stamps, but you learn to do without, to improvise.'' He doesn't have the money for movies or a night on the town, so he improvises: He checks out feature films from the LCC library and watches them on the video equipment the library provides for student use; creates his own free entertainment by going on nature walks where he enjoys plant identification. "Scams" make up the majority of Tom's improvised income. He has had prior schooling in two different 1,tates which he neglects to declare on his financial aid application form here at LCC.

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." ·'You~lea·t n ·~ to_,~lto-without-, to ini'provise' by 'Cathy Benjamin ~ 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. "I'm living on my PELL and Oregon Needs Grant. I have low-income housing.

"I've never had the money to pay back any of my previous school loans. If I was honest about it, I wouldn't be eligible for any funding at all, and I don't have the money to pay for my own tuition.'' "Besides, now I'm learning a trade that will enable me to be a part of society." Tom looks into his coffee cup and adds, "You're no good to society without a degree these days.''

The TORCH Ap-iil 19 - ·Apt ii 25, 1984 Page :3 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.''

He is one of the many LCC students who waits in line each month for the free allotment of cheese and butter the government provides the needy. Cheese is more expensive than some meats, and Tom is appreciative of the hand-out. He has a car he bought for $100, but says "it's always on the brink of breaking down. The steering is so bad no one else could drive it.'' Tom is never sure, each morning when he leaves for school, whether the car will make it there or not. When Tom gets sick, he uses the Student Health Services at LCC, but says, "I go through major decisions everytime I get really sick. I can get a free check-up, but the prescriptions are what cost money. I never know if I'll be able to ride it out without spending the money for the medicine or not.'' Poverty has been a part of Tom's life for so long now he's almost used to it. "I think there's been about three years In my life that I made over $5,000 a year," he says. "That's when I used to work as an orderly in a hospital back East. I haven't even bothered filing an income tax return for years now. I don't make enough money for it to even matter.''

His decision to enter school was a "last chance effort" on his part to somehow pull his life together. Although a student's life is a struggle, Tom's last chance effort is slowly paying off. He's completed half of his training at LCC, and is determined to finish the program. "I want a job where I can feel I'm being of some kind of service to people," Tom says.

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.

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 The LCC Theater is offering a 40 percent discount on ticket prices to students for all shows of "My Sister Eileen.'' Theater Opera- Serena Scholls portrays a naive ding-bat in "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.

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. LCC wins 15th annual Mt.
