ASPA awards the

TORCH two honors
by Ellen Platt

TORCH Associate Editor

Last week the TORCH was awarded two
certificates by the American Scholastic Press
Association: First Place with Merit and
• Outstanding Service to the Community.
The awards, based on individual performance and quality, assess the content, production quality, and design of each
newspaper that submits its publication for
assessment. The TORCH received 925 out of
a possible 1,000 points to win the ''First
Place with Merit" award.
An Oct. 27, four-page feature that investigated physical barriers to handicapped
LCC students was recognized for
"Outstanding Service to the ,Community."
ASPA judges commended the TORCH,

saying ''You and your staff are to be congratulated for producing a very fine student
newspaper. You have presented a wide variety of articles which appeal to school and
community interest.''
Grouped with 26 other junior and community colleges with enrollments over 2500,
the TORCH and six other schools received
the First Place with Merit rating.
TORCH adviser Pete Peterson commented on the award. "What's important is
that the TORCH is student-run. Advisors
make suggestions, but the students have to
put in the time and take the care to be
thorough .. .it's good for those who work so
hard to hear from an impartial judge who
studies a great many publications that the
TORCH really is very good."

Faculty negotiations continue
by Ellen Platt

TORCH Associate Editor

Although contract negotiations have gone on for some 14
months now, both faculty and
college representatives think
this could be the week they
reach an agreement.
Henry Douda, director of
employee relations, said ''We
are coming to a conceptual
agreement on all the points.''
As to a final agreement, he added "I'm hoping by perhaps
the end of this week, maybe
the end of next week."
Douda added that the ''two
negotiators will be working on
some language problems.''
These "language problems"
are not concerned with financial portions of the contract,
but with the wording of portions that both parties must
agree upon. The words

"shall" and "may" are examples of mandatory versus
permissable language that can
make a great difference in the
meaning of sentences said
Douda.
Steve Johns, representative
for the Faculty Union, also
voiced hope for a settlement.
He has talked "with management representatives, and it
seems to me we may have an
agreement this week."
However, Johns added "if
we don't have one then, we
won't this year."
If that is the case Johns
said, the faculty will consider
its alternatives; one of the major legal alternatives is to
strike. A strike "could be
legally called during finals
week of this year, and that's
not ruled out.''

base to $12,243,198 -- about
$874,000 more than what it
could collect in 1984-85.
If approved, the proposed
tax base will increase the current tax rate from $1.55 per
thousand to $1.87 per thousand, Berry estimates. This
means the owner of a $60,000
home -- who now pays a $93
LCC tax bill -- would pay
$19.20 more, or about
$112.20, next year.
The new tax base would
provide an additional
$874,000 over . this year's
budget. The Budget Committee based the 1984-85 budget
upon passage of the tax base.
About $250,000 of the anticipated revenue is earmarked
for special maintenance projects: Reroofing (or patching)
campus buildings, replacing
worn carpet, and repainting
buildings. In addition, department directors have outlined
about $157,000 worth of improvements they would like to
make in instructional equipment and programs.
If the levy doesn't pass, college officials will have to "go
back to the drawing board"
and reduce the budget by
$874,000, Berry says. He
refers to the special
maintenance and program improvements, in the 1984-85
budget as ''identified but not
allocated'' items. When additional funds are available the
most critical repairs are undertaken.
Without the anticipated
revenue from the new tax
base, not only would these
critical projects be put off, but

by Jackie Barry

TORCH Associate Editor

Last week the Torch received some wonderful news in the
mail. The American Scholastic
Press Association sent us two
awards--First Place With
Special Merit and an award
for Outstanding Service To the
Community. This made us feel
good.
We know we are not
perfect, however.
No one really likes criticism.
But most of us can deal with it
and make appropriate changes
if the criticism is presented in a

supportive way.
The Torch staff is no exception to the above statement.
No matter how hard we try
(and we do try) it seems that
mistakes still slip past our atten ti on. Especially those
mistakes that have not been
corrected by 2 a.m. Thursday-two hours before the Springfield News gets our finished
flat sheets.
We also have space limitations that prevent us from running everything that we would
like to run, including details
that might seem important to

the sponsor of an event. And
let us not forget the problems
that we have in extracting pertinent details from people. No
matter how hard we try we still
cannot read people's minds.
Which brings us to the
familiar cliche ''You catch
more flies with honey than
with vinegar. ' ' We appreciate
feedback good or bad. We
know we can do better. But
we're much more likely to rectify a problem and/ or not
make a similar mistake if the
wronged party tries to catch us
with honey than if they come

Environmental impact overlooked at Big Creek
Forum by Richard Gold

I am sorry to have to write
you this letter, but the urgency
of the Big Creek Resort project demands all of our immediate attention. As you may
have read in the RegisterGuard article of April 24, our
County Commissioners approved by a 3 to 2 vote the use
of Oregon industrial development revenue bonds to finance
$8,075,000 or the bulk of this
private resort's cost. These
public bonds sell at a lower interest rate because they are exempt from federal taxes,
thereby an "Indirect Federal
Subsidy."

Big Creek's disruption
would cause the extinction of
the silver-spotted butterfly

strains of: Steelhead (Salmo

by the resort development
would inevitably result in increased sedimentation in Big

Ansel Adams shared a deep love for
American wilderness through his photos
Fomm by J. W. Camp

TORCH Staff Writer

This morning I was told of
the passing of a man--a giant
of truly American stature-•Ansel Adams.
Ansel Adams had an eye
for what America is--the
land, and the people. He was
more than a photographer,
more than the inventor of the
"zone system," more than
an environmental activist.
He was a national treasure.
In 1973, a photographer
friend in Vancouver, B.C.
told me that Adams had died
some months previously, and
I remember feeling a wave of
loss and sadness drenching
my mind and body as I

physically and mentally went
limp. Adams was dead? For
days afterward I co_u ldn't
shake the feeling of one who
had been struck by lightning.
I had never before felt like
that for anyone I didn't personally know. Some weeks
later at a camera shop, I
noticed a poster advertising
an Adams seminar in the
States, and I realized the
rumor of bis death was greatly exaggerated.
I felt as though I had
witnessed a miracle, the raising of the dead, an old friend
restored. I took him to my
heart and swore that I would
share his vision of America.
. At 83, he had seen much of

America, and many of the
events that have changed the
face of this country. In 1915,
Adams first visited Yosemite
National Park and took his
first photographs with a
"Brqwnie" camera. That
was the start of a dual
romance for Adams--the love
of photography and the love
of America.
It was this love of America
that made Adams one of
James Watt's most ardent
critics. As the former
Secretary of the Interior
began to lease off-shore drilling rights along the California coast, Adams brought to
the American people,
through the media, the reali-

ty of the cost to us all, if
James Watt got his way.
James Watt is gone from
•office, and Ansel Adams is
gone for good.
Perhaps, it might be more
appropriate to celebrate
Ansel Adams' life than
mourn ~is death. To see the

America he saw through his
lens, and through his prints,
is to see an America that is
rapidly vanishing. And it
•would be a crime against
God and nature if all that remained of Ansel Adams'
America
were
his
photographs .

"My mother was okay but
my father didn't want me in
the house. What he said went
and (so) I went."·
by Frank Nearing

TORCH Staff Writer

I was out in their area
around 5:45 p.m. and pulled
my car over to the side of the
gravel road. I listened to NPR
on my car radio. The road was
marked dead end.
At about 6 p.m. I eased
towards their unit. A
nondescript black dog sat on
the front stoop. He looked so
tired I didn't think he needed a
leash. Deena told me later she
got him from a transient for a
pot of coffee. I don't know
who got the better of the
bargain.
There were no drapes in the
front window. Inside, the living room was sparsely furnished: A small radio, a telephone,
a Bible, religious art posters
you might pick up at a garage
sale, for free.
I met her husband Phil just
briefly. He had worked on
their 1971 Mazda earlier in the
day, coached a soccer team
after school and hinted he
really should get some sleep
before going to the mill.
The children, moving like
shadows, were both excused
from the living room -- Linda
to meet a new friend and Jimmie, in his tattered sweatshirt,
off to play soccer.
In an earlier interview
Deena said she'd come to LCC
strictly for the nursing course.
She travelled 3 days by bus to
escape a wife-beater and to
find a better life for her two
youngsters. Too much to ask?
"But my first husband, he
was funny. When I had bruises
done by him, he was very nice.
. .love, flowers, everything I
wanted. . .but I'm getting

At 17, on her own for
almost a year, and 5 months
into her first pregnancy, she
married the man who fathered
her children.
She describes her husband
as "everything my father
stood against. We ended up in
a very violent relationship with
me not winning very often.''
Escape meant her survival.
She waited for weeks for the
income tax refund to arrive.
She recalls buying a post office
box in her name to outwit her
husband. And finally her
ticket-to-survival arrived. . .a
check for almost $1,000.
It came on a Monday. After
lunch he had agreed to let her
go to her mother's house first,
"so I could explain my latest
black eyes.'' He met a buddy
downtown and she headed for
her house. That was the last
time she saw him.
'' I knew exactly what I was
going to do. We had a small
trunk in our living room.
.our end table. For weeks I
had been gathering what I
knew we'd need. I had
everything ready in a jiffy. We
got on the bus and headed to
Reedsport, Oregon.''
Her grandmother had a
brother in Reedsport and that
became her temporary headquarters.
Later, she drove to Coos
Bay to register for a CETA
program and then commuted
to classes at Southwestern
Oregon Community College.
The CETA training funds
covered day care and transportation. ''The counselor who
helped me had been a battered
wife too, and she was super
for me. I could see a whole
new life. taking shape for me
and the kids."

But strangely, she couldn't
stand the comparative prosperity of her new existence.
She missed her family, began
to come "unglued," and "like
I was going to have a nervous
breakdown.''
So she sold everything she
had accumlated and went back
to her parents for eight months. That proved to be a bad
move, she recalls. The children
found the grandparents more
fun than Deena, and her
father was still an "angry
man.'' And she once again she
found herself outside the
magic circle of a happy family.
In January of 1983 a more
mature woman came to
Eugene and enrolled at LCC.

Her work study job paid
$400 oer term and she got a
further $1000 per term, clear
of tuition, to take care of rent,
transportation and, "a few
goodies like shoes and
clothes."
Still, it was hard, and she
says "a couple of times a
month I'd sell plasma to get
groceries or do laundry. I
don't tell this to everybody but
that's where I met Phil. It's
funny, Linda met him first.
She decided before I did it
would be okay for him to
come and live with us.''
Phil brings home about
$750 a month clear, so the new
family isn't eligible for food
stamps.
•

Deena is high on LCC:"Ever since I was five I've
wanted to be a nurse and just
today I got my application
finished and put in."
Comfortable now, she says
"I found acceptance (at LCC).
I used to think I couldn't meet
the standards of other women
students ... often felt inferior.
But that doesn't scare me any
more ... I'm a survivor. I survived
beatings
and
strangleholds. I know what it's
like to raise my children by
myself. . .to cry myself to
sleep ... and I also know how
to do it. . .to finally have victory over something!''
''For me, I want to be apprenticed to a midwife, to
travel the circuit and to be a
healer. I'm good at caring for
people.''

TORCH Staff Writer

Tacking her report card to
the center of her home bulletin
board, Sandra smiles and gives
it a brisk pat.
The LCC print-out shows
another term of 4.0 GP A for
her efforts and she's posted
her grades for all the
household to see. But there
won't be a celebration, a
special dinner out, or any
clothing as a reward because
any reward would cost money.
Money is one thing that Sandra doesn't have these days.
She's just one of many
students at LCC who must live
at some level of poverty ranging from depleted to desperate
to destitute. And many
students choose poverty when
they choose to get an education.
At night Sandra darts
around in the confines of her

discourages •people from
writing romance stories soley
because of financial incentive.
"You can't write romance if
you don't like it. If you look
down on the genre, you can't
fake it. Believe me I know. I
tried writing romance from
that perspective. ·rd start
writing a serious story and
pretty soon it would turn into
a satire. I just couldn't do it."
Then there's the children's
market, which Smith says is a
fairly good one. '' If you want
to write for this market, find
out what childreJl are interested in and what they read.
Talk to other people's kids,
not just your own. Articles
about animals are very
popular with children.''
Despite the emphasis on
capitalism, Smith maintains
that pepple should ''write for
the love of writing. Some people just want to be creative,
and if that's your goal, do it."
Smith's classes will cover
the fine points of composition
(theme development, writing
tone etc.) as well as "how to
reach the market, how to
make money." Interested persons can call R. Gaines Smith
at 683-2125 for further information.

Voters to decide on mone'i_ issues

Oregon Primary is Tuesday, May 15

The Tuesday, May 15,
Primary election will include
two measures and many local
tax base issues on which voters
will decide.
Measures

• Measure 1: Shall the state
be allowed to borrow and lend
money for public works projects for community development?
This measure would amend
Article XI-H of the state constitution which limits the
state's ability to incur debt for
public works to waste disposal
and pollution control purposes
only. Passage of this measure
would allow the state to incur
debt for other types of public
works projects. Priority would
be given to low income areas.
One argument was filed in
favor of this measure which
stated that passage of this
measure would make community development a reality.

No arguments were filed in
opposition.

Tax Base < ~ ,,._,.. .,
college officials would have to
cut the budget another
$466,000. These cuts could affect LCC instructional programing.
Berry says college officials
haven't developed a definite
list of the items a $466,000
reduction would include.

• Measure 2: Shall the fees
for the licensing and registration of motor vehicles be increased?
This measure would increase the license and registration fees for most vehicles an
average of $10 a year. The
revenues from these fee increases would be deposited in
the state highway fund.
Moped, motorcycle, and
disaster unit fees will not increase.
Four arguments were filed
in favor of this measure,
stating that bridges in Oregon
are a safety hazard and that
the sooner they are repaired
the cheaper it will be. One
• argument also stated that
Oregon's vehicle registration
fee was set almost 3S years ago
. and is the lowest in the nation.
No arguments were filed in
opposition.
Tax Base Issues

• 20-06 Shall Lane Community College establish a new
tax base limitation of
$12,243,198 by replacing the
current tax base of
Historically, he says, when the

instance) took the greatest cut

$10,596,502?
Explanation: The new
limitation is necessary to
enable the college to maintain
career educational offerings at
their present levels. It would
become effective July 1, 1984.
It would eliminate the need for
a levy election and would provide basic support for at least
two years.
• 20-14 Shall a new tax base
of $46,754,579 be established
for School District 41 to
become effective July 1. 1984?
Explanation: The current
tax base is $41,0Sl,198 which
will not be adequate to maintain the current program of
educational needs. This sum is
less than the $46,937,564 that
was levied for operating purposes for the 1983-84 fiscal
year.

• 21-01 Shall there be a five
year serial levy to establish a
fund for future purchase of
equiptment in the Elmira-Noti
Rural Fire Protection District?
The levy would be $20,000
· each year and would cost an
estimated 30 cents per $1000
of assessed value.

•

• 20-02 Shall Lowell School
District No. 71 be authorized a·
! $1,437,192 tax base starting in
the fiscal year 1984-85? Currently the tax base is
$1,24_1,423.
• 20-03 Shall Lake Creek
Rural Fire District establish a
tax base of $24,640 beginning
in the 1984-85 fiscal year?
There is currently no tax base.
• 20-04 Shall a levy of
$8,964,000 be established for
Lane County School District
No. 52 to become effective in
the 1984-85 fiscal year?

• 20-05 Shall the Port of
Siuslaw be authorized to
establish a new tax base of
$226,359 beginning in the
1984-85 fiscal year? Currently
it is $7S,4S3.
• 20-07 Shall the Blue River
Water District establish a tax
base of $17,166 beginning in
the 1984-85 fiscal year? Currently it is $8,659.

<continued rrom cover>

Renaissance

The students look to Joe for
the advice and direction they
need in spur-of-the-moment
situations. They have a high
opinion of what he is doing:
''Joe is easy to work with, but
he's not Mr. Nice Guy all the
time. He expects people to do
what they're suppose to do.
He's efficient, organized, and
energetic.''
As a third year student
himself, with two A.S. degrees
nearly completed, Joe has
been through most of what
these students are experiencing
and he knows what to do.
"Sometimes, it's simply trying to teach them to deal with
other people in a more civilized manner. This program
draws people in from
everywhere. The blend 1s mcredible ... and it's a great
challenge.''
Class instructor Willy
Kealoho agrees.
"It's the conflicts and
temperaments of the program
students themselves. With
creative, busy people who
spend long hours together in a
closely-knit program for one
or two years, the tensions can
be a real problem."

Joe helps keep tensions at a
minimum.
''I think politeness is the
most important thing.
Politeness and good service.''
And Joe sets a good example
for stud en ts to follow,
especially when he brings
along thirteen years of prior
experience in the restaurant industry.
Joe began working at dude
ranches as a teenager, and by
age 22 he was managing · a
large restaurant in Florida.
Although he increased volume
and profits for the firm, he
realized that he lacked sufficient experience for the
responsibilities. He quit and
toured Europe, returning to
work in well-known operations in both Los Angeles and
San Fransisco before coming
to Eugene three years ago. He
decided what he really needed
was a good education and a
degree.
Not many students decide to
earn degrees in both Food Service Management and Professional Restaurant and Hotel
Cooking. Joe's previous experience (or admitted lack of
it) and his goals for the future
told him he needed both
.degrees.
''Without the degrees, you
seem to be not of the varsity
that the (hotel and restaurant)
corporations like to deal with.
This is a nice place to go to
school.. .it's a great deal, and
an excellent program. I've

the best. It is also quite comparable to the $6,000 per year
course being offered at the
new Horst Mager Culinary Institute in Portland.
Joe agrees. His class recently visited Linn-Benton College
to tour that facility. The LCC
students were all impressed
with the size and beauty of the
dining area. ''But I didn't

think their food or the service
was nearly as good as what we
offer here,'' he says.
Joe would like to see the
Renaissance Room expanded
further out into the cafeteria
area. The program students
have been suggesting it for
several years. More recently,
the suggestion has been coming from the patrons too.
"This class could serve
eighty .. .in the time we have.
But with limited seating, we
can't do it." Still, it serves as a
goal which may be reached
someday.
Joe's goals are almost as expansive. He has gained special
interest in banquet work
through five Classical Cuisine
dinners, the luaus, and last
year's Christmas dinner. He
believes he does well with the
numerous reponsibilities, and
he finds the rewards enjoyable.
''This is definitely one of
those programs where you
really do get out of it what you
put in ... and I've put a lot in,"
says Joe.
He has also thought about
getting into a corporation like
Hilton, where he could travel.
"And, I'm into efficiency. I
"" wouldn't mind something like
an efficiency expert within the
1ii restaurant industry."
§ Joe smiles. '' I guess my
1 long-term goals are still
..c unclear.
Someday, when I
retire, I may open a
restaurant.''

A personal poll of 100

and where it was located. But
only seven had ever eaten
there.
How is it that LCC
students, with notoriously
small budgets, haven't taken
greater advantage of worldfamous cuisine having a price
tag of only $3.75?
For some students, $3.75 is

too high. But for others, price
isn't the biggest question.
Mostly, it's a matter of false
assumptions.
Students are not sure if the
area is open to just anybody.
They think it is for faculty,
staff, and specially invited
students, or for classroom or
club groups.
Others think they have to
dress in something other than
bluejeans to go in. And still
others are intimidated by the
formality when they peek in at
the door.

These assumptions and
others have kept many
•students from investigating
any farther. But further investigation uncovers some
reassuring information.
Patrons come in from the
community as well as from the
campus. And more and more
students are taking advantage
of the fine meals--in their bluejeans! "Reservations are advised, not because the place is
so exclusive, but due to the
limited seating," says Joe
Smith, student manager of the
dining room.

Opportunity exists for
students to overcome being intimidated by formality. The
same laboratory allowing the
Food Service Management
students to practice formal
restaurant techniques also permits customers to learn formal
dining etiquette. A person who
is used to McDonald's can
learn what to expect at the
Hilton or at Scampi's. All for
the same price as a couple of
Big Macs, large fries, and a
drink.
Now who deserves a break
today?

Unlike the majority of LCC
students who have never eaten
at the Renaissance Room,
John Bryan eats there every
day. And he says that price has
a lot to do with it.
"I've eaten bus-stop food
for a long time and I'm tired
of it. You can't beat the atmosphere, the food, and the
service in there."
Last year, John heard
students talking about the
Renaissance Room and decid-

ed to check it out.
'' My first term here, I ate in
the cafeteria every day. And I
eat a lot, so I was spending
$3.50 every day. For me, $3.75
is well worth the difference in
quality of food and service.''

The Food Service Management students look for John
every afternoon, Monday
through Thursday. He's their
"regular customer", and if he
doesn't show up some of them
get worried.

John has eaten The
Renaissance Room's fine
cuisine for the past four terms.

"We wonder if he's sick or

Veteran KLCC announcer
Howie Leff joined Toby
To bias on to bring the
Radiothon to its successful
conclusion during the folk
music program "Friends and

A total of $30,105 was
pledged from 1083 listeners
for an average gift of $27 .80
during
the
nine-day
Radiothon.
Over
150
businesses donated an
estimated 200 different goods
and services to KLCC for use
as premiums to motivate callin pledges for the Radiothon.
Donated premiums came from
businesses in Bend, Corvallis,
Mapleton, Florence and Lincoln City as well as from the
Eugene/Springfield
metropolitan area. The
following restaurants donated
meals to feed KLCC's hungry
volunteers during the BUCKA-WATT: BJ Kelly's, Poppi's, Domino's Pizza, Giant
Grinder, The Factory, Excelsior's Charcuterie, and
Casablanca.

KLCC will allocate $5,000
from the Radiothon toward
the purchase and installation
of a new transmitter in Fall
1984. The remainder will fund
KLCC general operations.
Over 36 percent of KLCC's
$211,000 annual budget is
comprised of donations from
individual listeners and local
businesses.
The KLCC-B. Dalton
Bookseller Book Faire, which
was_ held during the final days
of the Radiothon, netted
$431.19 for KLCC's quest for
funds. Scores of people visited
the B. Dalton store on the
Eugene Downtown Mall to
meet authors Kate Wilhelm,
Damon Knight and John
Varley. A percentage of sales
during the Book Faire was
donated to KLCC by B.
Dalton Booksellers. •
Also, it is now possible for
the first time for LCC staff to
contribute to KLCC by payroll
deductions. LCC staff can
give a one-time sum out of one
payroll check or spread their
gift over several months or an
entire year. LCC personnel
have already pledged $550
since the program was started
a week ago.
Forms have been sent to all
LCC personnel. If you didn't

Sigma Zeta wms
excellence award
by Chris Gann

TORCH Editor

LCC' s honor society
garnered a national award for
excellence at the national
covention in March.
Sigma Zeta, LCC's chapter
of Phi Theta Kappa, the national junior/community college honor society, was one of
20 chapters to receive the
award. Phi Theta Kappa has
600 local chapters across the
nation.
Tony Hernandez, chapter
communications director, cites
Sigma Zeta's work to establish
a statewide council for Oregon
chapters and sponsorship of
two chapter members for national PTK office as reasons
the chapter gained recognition
from the parent organization.
Recently Sigma Zeta offered
a leadership session at Heceta
Head that officers of Oregon
and Washingtron PTK chapter
attended. Hernandez says ses-

sions such as these and the
Oregon council of PTK
chapters helps "create some
standardization· and keeps
small chapters active.''
At the national PTK convention held in Washington,
D.C. March 22 - 24, Hernandez ran for national president and Ann Bartley, Sigma
Zeta president, ran for the national vice presidency of the
West-Northwest region.
''We didn't gain the offices
but we had lots of fun,'' says
Hernandez.
PTK now has ''The 1984
Calendar: An American
History'' on sale in Rm. 311 of
the Library. The 17" by 34"
calendar contains historic information for almost everyday
of the year, as well as may
quotes from George Orwell.
Cost of the calendar is $10.

Johnny's new
Distractions
rock Eugene
by Jackie Barry

TORCH Associate Editor

After · recent turbulence,
Johnny Koonce is back on the
road with new Distractions.
On Saturday, April 29, the
new Johnny and the Distractions made their first appearance in Eugene in two
years at Edison's Bar at the
Factory in Springfield.
These new Distractions
(Damian Dillon-drums, John
Mazzocco-bass, Doug Frasergui tar, and Kenny Daykeyboards) have been playing
together for nine weeks.
"These new band members go
to the wall every night,'' said
Johnny. They'd been playing
for four nights straight, doing
all the roadie work, and staying in cheap motels.
''People think you only
have one shot at it,'' Johnny
told me. "And that isn't

true.'' His last shot at the big
time was looking pretty good
until A & M Records didn't
promote his releases so '' I told
them to ---- off,'' explained
Johnny. Things disintegrated
even further when the band
"exploded" from within.
"That's one thing I can't
blam~_pn A & M."
"They tried to get rid of
us,'' Johnny told the packed
barroom, "But we're not normal."
They played a lot of songs
from previous recordings and ·
many new ones including
"Anything You Wanna Do,"
"In My Bed" and "Only
Lovers" during which Johnny
instructed the audience to '' get
.slinky.'' . Most of the new
music is written by Johnny but
the new band helps shape
things into complete songs.
One song in particular--"It
Won't Let Go"--soundcd
like
"midgets
being
slaughtered with accordians"
until the other band members
added their input.
Johnny was typically
volatile and energetic during
the performance, stabbing the
atmosphere with his mike
stand, climbing onto speakers
and smashina his guitar when ·
it wouldn't work. After each
set he was bathed in sweat.
He als9 delivered a number of
his infamous speeches on
Saturday including one during
"Let It Rock" instructing the
band, who had never played
Eugene before, on what they
might expect. "Listen up
boys," Johnny said. "Eugene

ORT presents 'On Golden Pond'
Oregon Repertory Theatre
presents Ernest Thompson's
acclaimed 1979 drama ''On
Golden Pond'' in the Soreng
Theatre at the Hult Center
May 3 through May 13.
On Golden Pond is the love
story of Norman and Ethel
Thayer who are returning to
their house in Maine where
they have been spending summers for almost half a century.
Norman and Ethel have been
married for 48 years that have
gone by too fast. Their
daughter, C~elsea, has been
divorced for what seems like
forever and has just taken up
with another new man, whose
young son, Billy, is very much
alone in a world he never
made. Golden Pond--and
summer--provide
the
backdrop for this touching,
funny and spirited couple facing their twilight years. ·
'' On Golden Pond'',
Thompson's professional
playwriting debut, was triply
acclaimed in the 1978-79
season, first off-Broadw~y at
the Hudson Guild Theatre,

'Eileen' does well
Review by Jackie Barry

TORCH Associate Editor

The dumpy basement studio
shakes each time construction
workers dynamite a new spot
for the subway below,
neighbors and lechers enter at
will through the back door
which has a broken lock, and
passersby peer through the
curtainless windows, curious
at the goings on.
It's all part of a normal
day's activities for Ruth and
Eileen Sherwood in the LCC
Theatre's current production
of "My Sister Eileen" which
opened Friday, April 27.
The Sherwood girls have
just moved to Greenwich
Village from Columbus, Ohio,
looking for fame and fortune
in their respective careers.
Eileen is an actress whose
blond beauty attracts enough
stray men to fill a kennel.
Ruth is a writer, gutsy and
smart, and the story of her life
is to play second fiddle to
Eileen in the looks department. Despite their differences
(and lack of money) the girls
are determined to succeed and
to look after each other.
The story is goofy but
moves quickly and has enough
substance to pull off the insane activities that prevail.
The players keep the pace going with only a handful of slipups that are quickly rectified.
The performers develop
their characters well. Patricia
Matteri as Ruth Sherwood and
Serena Scholl as Eileen does a
good job especially considering that they are on stage
almost constantly during the
play. Mr. Appopolous was

played by Pat Michalek who is
convincing as the seedy
landlord whose artistic worth
leaves much to be desired.
Most of the minor
characters are portrayed well .
with particularly good performances by Daniel Ryan as the
puppy-like Frank Lippencott
and Catherine Karhoff as the
domineering Mrs. Wade.
The studio apartment is as
dumpy as you would expect it
to be with a ratty curtain concealing the "kitchenette" and
cracks in the dingy walls. The
set was designed by Bruce Bibby.
The lighting, designed by
Marty Dorn and assisted by
Betty Rissmiller, is good in
that you're not aware of it being abnormal and the sound,
controlled by George Szuatsek
and Don Wilkinson, is easily
heard with no unpleasant
qualities.

Stars, songs featured May 5
Eugene mus1c1an and
folklorist, Twilo Scofield,
will play the dulcimer,
autoharp, and psaltery and
sing about the stars and the
planets at WISTEC'S
''Concerts Under the
Stars,'' to be held on Saturday, May 5 at 7 and 8 p.m.
Ms. Scofield's family
program will include many
old favorites. Audience
members will have several
chances to sing along as

they enjoy the spectacle of
the stars in a special production by staff of the Lane
Education Service District
Planetarium.
Concert tickets are
available at WISTEC for $2
apiece. Concerts Under the
Stars are offered in conjunction with the May 5
Astronomy Day program
that will be sponsored by
WISTEC, the Lane Educa-

tion Service District
Planetarium, and the
Eugene Astronmical Society. Admission to WISTEC
and to Astronomy Day will
be free, thanks to a City of
Eugene Room Tax purchase.
To order tickets, send
your check to WISTEC,
P.O. Box 1518, Eugene,
Oregon, 97440. For more
information, call 484-9027.

As boys, they made a pact to share their fortunes, their loves, their lives.
As men, they shared a dream to rise from poverty to power.

Forging an empire built on greed, violence and betrayal, their dream
would end as a mystery that refused to die.

My only real criticism of the
play is a lack of attention to
some details, such as mail not
containing addresses and wine
the color of water in one
scene.
All in all it was an entertaining. amateur production.
"My Sister Eileen" will continue it's run tonight through
Saturday night, May 3-5, with
curtain time at 8 p.m. Tickets
are $5 for the general public
but students with current
photo ID can purchase up to

The Lane men stayed busy
trying to find openings between the Mt. Hood Saints in a
doubleheader baseball game at
LCC Saturday April 28.. •
Lane was just getting warmed up after the first game loss
of 4-1 when in the second
game, Lane's Dan Vidos sent a

single to the field, bringing in
two more runs for the Titans,
making the score 9-9.
However, the Saints wanted
both games and both games
they won. Mt. Hood scored
three more runs in the eighth
inning to finish with a 12-9 victory over Lane.

thought we were a four-year
college,'' says Head Coach
Dave Poggi, ''but in reality we
probably had the youngest
team in the tourney.''
''I see this tournament as a
fitting end to what has been a
building year for us. It acts
both as fond farewell to our
graduating former varsity
players and a chance to look at
some new talent for next
year,'' he added.
