Lane Community College Vol. 19 No. 24 April 26 - J las 4000 East 30th • Eugene, Oregon 97405 a, 1984 New format for Denali To preserve and strengthen Denali, the literary magazine on campus, the LCC Media Commision adopted new guidelines that go into effect next Fall Term. The unanimous decision to accept the new guidelines came at the April 20 meeting after an ad hoc committee established by the commission completed a 12-week study of the magazine. The study included interviews with past editors, staff members and faculty advisers. The study was prompted Fall Term when Denali Editor Patricia MacDonald resigned her position because of financial difficulties. Noting that editor and staff resignations were common over the years, remaining staff members asked the commission for a ''restructuring" of the publication's guidelines so it might survive in the future. ''The committee took the time to interview past staff members and advisers,'' said a pleased Pete Peterson, TORCH faculty adviser and a committee member along with Denali advisers Peggy Marston and Chuck Ruff, Language Arts Department Chairman Jack Powell, and Torch editor Chris Gann and Denali Editor Debbie Brown. ''Then it proposed a new format, an altered advising system, a more efficient distribution system, and a new emphasis that will most likely eliminate the difficult problems.'' Peterson said a great deal of credit goes to Vice President for Student Activities Jack Carter who dedicated some funding (about $1,500 per year) to pay for a new technical adviser to the student staff. The new features of the guidelines include the following: • Denali will now have a new emphasis -- on creative and imaginative writing and a reduced emphasis on the graphic and fine arts. • Denali will be published five times a year -- instead of the current twice a year. • The editor and associate editor will be paid small stipends -- provided the production costs remain within budget projections. • Denali will be printed on newsprint, and be distributed as an insert to the TORCH. • Language Arts Department advisers will continue to be volunteers, but will only be required to assist with manuscript evaluation and editing. • A new technical adviser will work about 6 hours per week with students to produce the five magazines -- to assist with typesetting, design, pasteup, process camera work, and other technical requirements. TORCH editor Chris Gann said "Denali will have a much more rigid structure, but the student editor remains in complete editorial control over content and selection policy.'' Denali Adviser Peggy Marston says the new guidelines will give the magazine's editor and staff "structure, expectations, and technical assistance they didn't have before.'' She says the staff will know how many times the magazine is to be published, and what the magazine's basic operating budget is. "All of those are positive things that will help Denali look at the job seriously and still allow the staff to be creative while operating within a budget." 1984-85 Editors Sought Students interested in managing either of the two LCC student publications next year may obtain application materials beginning this Friday, April 27.

One of the most striking differences at Stockholm was the gap between the views of the developed and undeveloped nations which attended the conference. Faby said the rich arrived with a concern about the pollution and the problem "of cleaning the environment dirtied by industry." But the poorer and underdeveloped nations "felt the West was pulling a fast one on them'' by demanding costly environmental measures as part of development. Ten years after this conference -- which created '' a basic bill of action" composed of 115 resolutions on environmental issues -- another conference was held in Nairobi. This session concluded that the basic message of Stockholm remained valid: To "safeguard the environment for future generations.'' The signs of progress are favorable, "environment is gress about by 2000, or face serious problems." These are soil loss, tropical deforestation, and loss of genetic diversity in plant and animal species. The loss of arable land affects all nations, although the underdeveloped countries are more severely affected because they lack the technology to compensate for the loss. Citing predicted global population figures of 10-12 billion by the year 2100, "coupled with a 30 percent loss of arable land, how will we feed the world population?" Faby wondered. Another factor in the loss of arable land is the "creeping desert.''

Electoral apathy -- break a bad habit by Ellen Platt TORCH Associate Editor The results of the ASLCC elections are in -- and once again it's apathy by a landslide. Yes indeed, the 648 of us who did vote (eight percent of the student body) had a say -admittedly indirectly -- in how $71,000 of YOUR money will be spent. I realize it's hard to get excited about student government, school is only part of your life, and you're probably only going to be here for a year or two. But electoral apathy is a bad habit, and in these days of global political and economic crisis it can be downright Letters Earth Fair garners kudos The importance of recognizing the relevance of the earth's relationship into our daily lives cannot be emphasized .enough.

Is it any wonder that public pressure has brought them to put a lid on the maximum amount they can charge of $79.80 per line per month for the first year. I wonder if they would have gotten the same approval from our wonderful public utility commissioner, if they had waltzed up and asked for a raise in the flat rates they could charge businesses per line at the same $79.80. What would the public have said then? Well, PNB, the unavoidable truth has struck home. Your little smokescreen will force big companies, state and government offices, and anyone else who can afford the luxuries of owning their own private telephone system to switch!

Reagan's proposal for a worldwide ban on the production and use of chemical weapons. As we have seen with the war between Iran and Iraq the world has learned little from the lessons of WWI. This is an especially hideous form of warfare. Unfortunately, neither the Iraqi or Soviet military seems willing to shy away from using these weapons. Of course, the Soviets, unlike the Iraqis, have even been guilty of using these weapons against civilian populations located in Afghanistan. It would be beneficial to the ~ntire human race if the leaders of the world (especially the new Soviet regime) would sit down and work out a comprehensive and verifiable agreement to ban such weapons. who is left will be forced to pay spiraling costs to make up for the people forced out of your phone system.

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. Commissioner Rust speaks of high hopes for county waste proposals. 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 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, pre shredded 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 network, can't be matched in numbers by any other Oregon county. 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 50 percent. 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 Northwest 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 (BPA) 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 North west by 1990," and "electricity too cheap to meter.'' Several assumptions account for ''how such a mistake was made'' says Defazio. First, the BP A 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 drought 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 BPA 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 sugreinstalling 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 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 BP A; but he (Maudlin) doesn't choose to do that." While current conservation goals are being met, "the Nor~ thwest Power Council has no s control over the BPA. If the . . . BPA says don't conserve, they can only use moral suasion to n effect the BPA." ! Defazio concludes that the Defazio discusses energy future.

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.

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.

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 working 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 Operations Manager Dick Reid says he hopes the . reduced prices will encourage students to attend the show. Students with current photo ID may purchase up to four reserved seat tickets, normally selling for $5, for $3 each. Box office hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 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 inexpenrecords sive. "P.A. U.S.A.' 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.
