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."

The Stockholm conference
reflected the growing worldwide concern about enpollution.
vironmental
Popular grassroots organizations "literally forced the
hands of their governments to
deal with the problems," Faby
said.
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

"coupled with a 30 percent
loss of arable land, how will

Electoral apathy -- break a bad habit

New waste recovery program for Lane County
by Jackie Barry

TORCH Associate Editor

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.

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

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

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.

out of Eugene and into

·'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 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

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

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.

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 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.
