LCC tax base loses
Contract negotiations over?

Tax base defeated

Contract ratification near

Voters rejected a $12.2
million tax base request from
LCC Tuesday.
Bill Berry, vice president for
administrative services, says at
the June 13 meeting, the
Board of Education will begin
"assessing what the next steps
are." He says the board will
decide:
• Whether or not to ask the
voters for a one-year serial
levy
• The dollar amount of a
levy, if the board decides to request one
• When to ask the voters for
approval of such a serial levy
-- June, August or September

Negotiators for the faculty
union and the college have
reached an agreement on the
contract.
Prior to this week's ' agreement, bargaining had been
underway for 14 months.
The faculty union has not
had an opportunity to ratify
the agreement yet, but their
decision is expected later this
week.
If the faculty union accepts
the contract, the Board of
Education will consider the
matter of ratification at a
special meeting Wednesday,
June 13.

Will you be financially set in 2019?
Feature by R. Wm. Gray
for the TORCH

The year is 2019... and you
intend to retire. What have
you done to prepare for this
long-awaited day? If you were
like a large percentage of those
people who are presently
retired, you anticipated that a
pension and Social Security
would be adequate to support
you in retirement. The sad
truth is that as a rule, income
from pensions and Social
Security alone is not enough in
the economy of 2019.
The working population of
1984, for the most part, is illinformed and thus ill-prepared
to retire in reasonable comfort
due largely to a lack of education in making financial decisions.
Many financial planners
and economic theorists say
that a person's financial
lifetime is divided into three
parts or periods: The

Years of dedicated service

A long road to find a family at LCC
taking care of the dues-paying
members in a parish."
As the priest explains, the Holy
Spirit came up with a solution: The
man who had been pastor to his family
while the Dieringer's lived in
Milwaukee, requested Jim's services in
Ashland, and wanted Jim to head up a
Newman Center at Southern Oregon
College. So again, Dieringer was in his
element. Yet when the older, supportive pastor was reassigned, Fr. Jim
found himself working under a new
man. And they didn't practice the
priesthood with the same philosophy.
It was at this point in his life Dieringer was called before the Archbishop to hear the charges -- of not
wearing his clerical collar, ministering
too much to women, and allowing
students to use his first name.

Feature by Frank Nearing

TORCH Sta ff Writer

" The command appearance before
the Archbishop got me into LCC by
the back door, and out of the rectory
in Ashland through the front door. "
Father James Dieringer recalls that
very abrupt summons he received in
1971, after 13 years as a priest, to appear before the Archbishop in
Portland -- so abrupt even the Archbishop's secretary apologized for
the brevity of the notice. At the time
Fr. Dieringer was trying to establish
the Newman Center at Southern
Oregon College in Ashland.
"It was like walking into an execution chamber with the Archbishop as
executioner. There was no due process
and I was too dumb to ask to confront
my accuser, the pastor in Ashland. I
did have the charges read to me: I
didn ' t wear my clerical collar; I was
ministering more to women; and I
allowed students to call me by my first
name," Father Jim.
Faced with a reassignment, Fr. Jim
asked for a study leave. The Archbishiop acquiesced, and the priest
left quickly, travelling to a sanctuary
in St. Louis . His agenda was to update
his theology. His real purpose was to
fi nd time to heal his wounds, a time to
mend his spirit. "I was crushed," he
admits.
He left St. Louis with a renewed
commitment to campus ministry and
faith in his own style of ministering.
As fate -- or the Holy Spirit -- would
have it, 15 months after his summons
to the archbishop, Jim Dieringer
returned to Oregon. He presented
himself to LCC President Eldon
Schafer, saying, "I'm going to be your
college priest.''
Dieringer recalls Schafer's reception
was less than cordial. A RegisterGuard article at the time quoted the
administration as saying, ''we did not
request him."
Nevertheless, he began ministering
to the students at LCC -- a refugee
from a parish priesthood, working in a
refuge promising him little, initially,
in the way of support and recognition .
Without office space of his own, for
almost IO years he ministered to
students in the cafeteria: A plastic
name tag on his shirt inscribed, James
Dieringer, LCC Campus Ministry was
the only way to tell this man was a
priest ready to help. He knew developing his brand of ministry would take a
long time.

• • •

He grew up in Buxton, OR, in a
farm family steeped in the Roman
Catholic faith. Jim had seven sisters,
an older brother died in infancy. His
parents shared the pain but eased it in
the quiet, dark silence of their
bedroom with a warm embrace and
"how many families have their own
angel in Heaven?"
From the parish school in
Milwaukie, staffed by nuns, he went
on to study under the priests at
Catholic Central High School in
Portland. As a junior, he entered the
minor seminary at Mt. Angel. His
large stature and athletic prowess gave
him status and earned him the
nickname of Horse.
He says he has since discarded most
of the philosophy he learned in the

Father Jim, blends into college community.
early years, but he does remember
"The Rule," the warnings that dating
was out, women were dangerous to his
calling, and special friends led to
homosexuality.
The major seminary, St. Edward's
in Seattle, was more of the same. He
recalls hearing "over and over, 'do
what you are told to do' ... 'you are an
extension of the Bishop's arm' . . . .
We became like clones."
In May, 1958, he was ordained a
priest -- normally a day of great joy
for a young man, a day of
unadulterated pride for his parents
and family. But young Fr. Jim
remembers his mixed emotions: "If
God doesn't want me, if the Church
doesn't want me, they're going to have
to get rid of me."
Over in the next 25 years Fr. James
Dieringer developed courage to do
what he thought was right -- to be, he
acknowledges now, very stubborn.
Stubborness kept him on course. He
faced more than his share of
challenges or obstacles as a servant of
God.
"When I was ordained," he recalls,
"the Church was very stable,
everything was nicely outlined for us
in Church law, (and) I didn't have a
time just to get to know myself.
"(Priests) were accepted by
everybody, always wore the uniform,
and . . . had this position of honor.''

Within his first year of service he
found his niche. "I organized a teen
club .... We brought the young people into the life of the parish through
meaningful activities, like ushering,
service to the elderly. . . word got
around, we had the best youth group
in the whole Archdiocese of
Portland," he says.
The Archbishop, noting his success,
gave him his first official appointment
as a campus minister at Corvallis. It
was not without it's little lesson in
humility. He remembers the Archbishop saying, "It's not high on my
priorities but it will look good back in
headquarters in Washington, D.C."
At OSU Fr. Jim worked with a
pastor who "gave me a lot of
strokes," and his experience there was
"just this side of Heaven." The
pastor's sudden illness brought the arrangement to a quick end and "I was
yanked out of there and every program I had put together was junked."
A new pastor would want a new
assistant, the Archbishop explained.
Jim just obeyed, he did want to be
"the extension of the Bishop's arm."
He served in a succession of interim
appointments, but his heart was really
with campus ministry. The Archbishop was hard-pressed to staff all
of his parish churches and "he was
hoping I'd eventually tire of this little
toy (campus ministry) and go back to

Here at LCC the stubborn priest
does not wear his clerical collar, he
ministers most often to women, and
students call him by his first name.
He explains that as a part-time instructor in the wood shop he earns
part of his own keep, and clerical
clothes just won't fly.
But in fact Fr. Jim really doesn't
look like a traditional priest -- a
longshoreman, perhaps, or a fur trapper, maybe. He wears a full beard, a
Mao cap on a balding head, an embroidered vest, dark workpants, and
work boots. And behind the beard he
usually hides a toothpick at one corner
of this mouth where he wears a smile
which says, "I like it here."
Over the years, Fr. Jim and his
ministry have gained acceptance and
respect at LCC. This fall, for instance,
college administrators called upon
Campus Ministry to coordinate the
distribution of free government cheese
and butter to eligible students.
A few years ago he arranged to rent
a small room near the Student Health
Services for $37 a month. From a
limited archdiocesean budget, and
from his own savings, he pays the office staff. And he makes this office
available to all community religious
groups asking to participate in LCC
Campus Ministry.
Fr. Jim has no problem with his Archbishop nor with his fellow priests as
individuals. He says casually, "I don't
take part in the priestly activities of
the diocese."
Jim, the Catholic priest at LCC ,

prefers "to be identified as a missionary, an instructor in the wood
shop, yes, even a Deacon ... that's
what I was trained to do anyhow ...
be of service rather than a
policymaker or a liturgical leader."
Shaking his head he admits that even
after all these years "campus
ministries have always been unwanted
stepchildren." Yet the people at LCC
are his kind of family.

• • •
"I'd sure like to have a family," he
says, thinking out loud, even though it
might stun some people to hear a
priest talk in such a way. But this is a
stubborn priest. "It's something I've
always missed. I take it as a high compliment when people say I would be a
good father . . .
"I wouldn'rbe at all surprised with
myself," he continues, conjecturing,
"(if), when I retire, I would resign
from the priesthood and consider getting married.
"I do not hold to the integral connection of celibacy to the priesthood .
.. it demands we be clones. I am opposed to mandatory celibacy.'' There
is no doubt in his voice on this point,
no ambivalence in his positon.
Yet, he is a priest . . . and he
remembers his day of ordination. His
family is there, and a believing congregation. The ordaining Archbishop
in the hushed silence of the cathedral
speaks -- as if to Jim directly, "Thou
art a priest forever according to the
order of Melchisedech."
The recessional begins and the choir
sings the Te Deum . . . a hymn of
thanksgiving.

The Torch

NLP is intellectual mind control
Feature by J. W. Camp

TORCH Staff Writer

John Klobas was preparing
himself to walk on fire. He
and his son Eric had helped to
build the bonfire that blazed
brightly in the evening sky,
then eventually reduced itself
to a bed of glowing hardwood
coals. As the dying conflageration beckoned to John, he
thought to himself, 'Wo way,
no way . .. ,,
''There is something about
facing a fire at the end of a
path that holds a special
significance for me. It helped
keep me honest and virtuous
and helped me maintain my integrity. The thought of facing
hot coals changed the way I
approached my lab work in
some rather strong ways."
The firewalk was the final
excercise in a seven-month
seminar that immersed Klobas
in the new, perhaps terrifying,
secrets of Neural Linguistic
Programming (NLP). John's
primary reason for enrolling in
the seminar was so '' I
wouldn't become rigid and
unyielding and dumb again in
my maturity.''
NLP is a method of
calibrating the thought processes of another person. The
measurement of the person's
eye movement, vocal expression, and muscular changes
are the keys to understanding
what is going on inside his/her
mind. For example, in
calibrating the ''visual
dialogue,'' use trivia and
watch how the other person
moves his/her head and eyes!
In visual recall, one's eyes
move up and to the right, and
so a student of NLP could
recognize this mental process
by observing the movements.
As one of his students
describes NLP theory, "It's a
way of getting into another

person, totally. By matching
the other person's breathing
and shadow-mirroring their
body language, you can then
suggest about anything to
them and they'll go for it. It's
a powerful form of mind control."
NLP is an intellectual process. A used-car salesman

could, using NL~ ''tune into" how a prospective
customer relates to the immediate environment and
"read" that person's disposition. The salesman would
know how to feed the
customer's ego, manipulate
some facts learned about the
customer; and sell the car the
salesman has in mind.
John Klobas had to know
about NLP, had to teach
himself the process in order
to ...
As the coals' ruby glow
began to fade to an ashen
orange, Klobas was making a
concerted effort to control the
hemispheres of his brain.
"Cool moss, cool moss... ,, he
told himself. But then he
heard himself reply, "that's
not cool moss. ,,
Klobas has been sharing his

Klobas' sociology classes
are one of the most popular
blocks of instruction at LCC.
A visitor in a Tuesday morning class might notice right
away the arrangement of the
chairs around a dozen small
tables, a deviation from the
"normal" college classroom
arrangement. After the room
fills up, and for the next hour
and a half, a delicate combination of chaos and structured
classwork, spiced with provocative statements from all
corners of the room, involves
the entire class. A class discussion on the topic of relation
and society is exceptionally
lively as students interrupt the
lecture to ask quesitons and
add their comments to the
fast-paced dialogue.
"Klobas makes you look at
yourself and the beliefs you

have,'' says one of his student,
" . . . and that can be scary."
In fact, Fr. James Dieringer, LCC's Roman Catholic
priest, affectionately says,
"John Klobas is the most
dangerous man on campus
because he is so unorthodox.
He is a rock in the stream,
causing turbulance and eddies
in the flow of things."
It's unlikely Klobas is a candidate for "public enemy
number 1.'' During the fifties
and sixties Klobas prefered to
limit his involvement intellectually to "safe" areas such as
reading, electronics, electrical
engineering, and science
because to John people were
'' A terror and frightening to
me ... "
''The only understanding I
have of what lead me through
those changes to sociology was
that my curiosity outweighed
my terror." He didn't fall
apart because of scary
challenges. "I guess I'm a
pretty sturdy mechanism,'' he
says with a wry smile. "I
would lose my autonomy
working on defense contracts.
Sociology is where I found my
soul and my roots.''
To be certain he was still
learning, he undertook the
NLP training.
As Klobas approached the
eight-foot runway of smoldering coals, his concentration increased and something
"clicked. ,,
Klobas completed the eightfoot journey, it seemed to take
hours, as time for him slowed
to a standstill. With a sigh and
a smile, Klobas surveyed his
surroundings. He realized the
potential power of this new
theory -- especially when he
discovered his son, Eric, who
had participated in the oneday prepatory seminar prior to
the firewalk, playing in the
coals.

-IR A' s - - - - - - - - = - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Another aspect of this
"insecurity" upon retirement
is the increasing tax burden
placed on the working individual during his or her
"Earning Years." Increased
taxes can decrease the amount
of funds a person has to live
on or invest, therefore severely
limiting the possibilities of investing towards retirement.
According to Mary Unruh,
a financial consultant with the
firm of Foster and Marshall
as well as a member of the
LCC Board of Education,
more young people are in the
higher tax brackets, therefore
becoming aware of the immediate need to make financial decisions for tax advantages.
There are several methods
to systematically save money.
One big draw-back to most
plans is that the investor is not
disciplined enough to make
contributions to an investment, and then leave them
alone to grow and prosper.

According to Gene Wickizer
of NB Marketing of North
Bend, a firm specializing in
financial planning and investment vehicles, perhaps one of
the best methods of preparing ·
for retirement is the Individual
Retirement Account (LR.A.). ·
As a result of the 1981
Economic Recovery Act, the
I R A. is currently available to
anyone, in addition to any
other pension or retirement
plan he or she may already
have.
IRA's shelter money from
taxation until a person's retirement, when the retirement income will be less, and
therefore less burdened by
taxes.
The IRA has certain
features that make saving
money conducive to the individual's long-range goals,
retirement and security. Uncle
Sam says that once a person
invests in an IRA, and deducts
the contribution amount from
income taxes, he or she must
leave the money in the special

account until the attained age
of 59 1/2. If the IRA investor
prematurely withdraws any of
the funds, Uncle Sam imposes
(on the amount withdrawn) a
10 percent penalty. The
balance of the withdrawn
funds is then included and taxed as income in the year they
were withdrawn. This is a
deterrent to ·premature
withdrawal, so the long-range
success of the plan is improved
greatly.
How much money an investor could accumulate by the
year 2019 depends, of course
on many things: A person's
age, how much he or she contributes, and the anticipated
yield on the account. Allowing
that a working individual
began making the maximum
contribution of $2,000 annually at the age of 30; and allowing further, a constant anticipated yield of 12 percent
annually, the account would
yield $966,926 by the age of
6 5.
•

That's a gain of $896,926
over the initial capital invested
of $70,000 over a period of 35
years. For all practical purposes, the investor gains financial independence in the
amount of approximately $1
million. Then, at age 65, the
$1 million earning interest -let's assume a constant of 12
percent -- would yield
$120,000 annually, or $10,000
per month. Of course the
"buying power" of these
dollars would be reduced some
by the effect of inflation, but
everything being relative, there
would still be funds available
for a comfortable and secure
retirement.
In essence, the individual investor has created an income
that he/she will never
outlive:
financial
independence and security. So
retirement can be a ''golden
period'' rather than a
"yearning period."
But in the year 1984 saving

money can often be a "painful
and tedious" experience. It is
difficult at best, for a person
to discipline him/herself to
save for "future needs" when
there are so many ''present
wants" -- that newer car, the
new home in a prestigious
neighborhood, the ''keep up
with the Joneses syndrome."
These "wants" can provide
immediate satisfaction, but
what will they do for future
security? Probably nothing,
unless an individual is already
independently wealthy.
Certainly, an IRA is not the
only investment vehicle that
can provide the desired outcome (or income!), but it is
probably one of the best due
largely to its availability to virtually every working individual in the country today.
In preparation for the year
2019, 1984 is the time to seekout qualified professional help
for a "Golden" future. And
then make investment decisions.

The main attraction for

might be the Laser Art show,
the Multi-Media Planetarium
presentation, or the hands-on

science exhibits. But starting
July 1, it just might be
WISTEC's public Computer

WISTEC was recently given
a grant from M.J. Murdock
Charitable Trust which enabled it to purchase five Apple II
computers, a letter-quality
printer; and an assortment of
programs. In a room off of
the main exhibit ·hall, LCC
students will be able to rent
computer time for $1.50 an

personnel will be on duty to

WISTEC Director Alice
Carnes believes students could
really benefit from the Computer Lab this summer.
"For practice, or for selfinstruction--it's a really good
buy!"
Several popular programs
will be available for use, and
more will be added as requests
are evaluated. A Word Processing program enables the
user to move paragraphs, correct spelling, and format copy
with justified right margins. A
Spreadsheet program projects
budgets •for any sort of
business venture. A file pro-

gram sets up address lists or
records recipes. And the Computer Self-Instruction program is atm·ost selfexplanatory.
"The WISTEC Lab will be
a place where you can sit down
and
teach
yourself
BASIC ... review information
from a class ... or you could
type up a paper," says Carnes.
And to her knowledge,
WISTEC has the only timerent program in the area.
Although the lab will be
available for public use, people will be required to have a
WISTEC Computer Card
which may be obtained by
passing a simple competency

test and paying $2. Novices
may take a one-hour,
$5-' 'How~to-run-the-computer" class before taking the
test. Cards will also be issued
free of charge to graduates of
a $30, 10-hour WISTEC Computer class.
•
"We are offering computer
education classes for preschool through adult,'' says
Carnes. She believes students
who have not had computer
classes yet will find the summer WISTEC classes helpful.

On Thursday, May 24, the
.Creativity Class will present
GLOBAL NETWORK: IMAGES OF LIGHT AND
BEAUTY FOR A DARK
AGE. In essence, this is a class
project which will draw on the
collective talents of present
and past creativity students
and guests expressing their
mutual concern on the issue of
thermal nuclear war.
Not wishing to merely
duplicate the efforts of the
ASLCC in their recent Earthweek productions, the project will concentrate attention
on the issue of nuclear disarmament, and the imperative to
cultivate a global consciousness that sees the
cultural and biological diversity of this planet as intrinsically
valuable. To that end a series
of exhibits and performances
will be presented from 10 a.m.
until 3 p.m., in CEN 420 and
throughout the Social Science
lounge areas.
Featured will be, Dr. Aaron
Novick, a former member of
the Manhattan Research Project at Los Alamos, and current Head of the Biology
Department at the University
of Oregon. Dr. Novick will
speak on creative aspects of
technology and the need to be
involved with the policymaking decisions that govern
its use. Dr. Novick gave his
prescription for world peace to

there's a wise public."

Peace must precede democracy in El Salvador

by Chris Gann
TORCH Editor

"In my country we are going to have thousands and
thousands of my people killed.
It will be a very long war, but
at the end the US is going to
lose -- it is an unwinnable war
for the US . . .and thousands
of US soldiers will come back
(home) in coffins."
Secundino Ramirez, a
representative from the
Human Rights Commission of
El Salvador, says that unless
US citizens begin vocalizing
their opposition to military involvement in Central America,
a war; "worse than Vietnam,"
is inevitable.

"We don't want to be
enemies of the US, we want
the US to help us to rebuild the
economy by sending technicians, teachers, doctors and
professionals" to El Salvador.
But, he asserts, if American
soldiers '' come to kill us''
Salvadorans will have no
choice but to defend
themselves.
Ramirez spoke to an LCC
Spanish class May 10 as part
of Central America Information Week sponsored by the
lnterreligious Foundation for
Community Organization
(IFCO). The organization
hopes to increase public
awareness of the US government's role in Central
America, and to increase

public support for nonintervention by the US in Central American political affairs.
The Human Rights Commission, a non-governmental
agency, was founded in 1978
by church people and professionals. Its purpose is to
"document human rights conditions and to provide legal
and humanitarian assistance
to Salvadorans."
Since the founding, "five of
our members have been killed,
including the president of the
commission,'' Ramirez says.
Elections aren't a solution

When asked if the elections
held this month offered
stability for the war-torn
country, Rameriz responds:
''The elections are not the
issue ... you cannot have (free)
elections in the middle of a
war. ..

'' In the US things operate
like a computer -- you punch
in the word "election" and
(out comes) democracy. In my
country things do not happen
that way."

have disappeared, and 30 percent of the population has
sought refuge in other countries. He claims that the second largest concentration of
Salvadorans is in Los Angeles,

Rameriz maintains El
Salvador must first be at peace
before truly democratic elections can take place. Instead
of sending more military aid,
the US should take an active
role as a mediator between the
the
and
government
"organized opposition" and
help negotiate a settlement
between the factions.

Additionally, the groups
organized against the government control about 30 percent
of the country. In these areas
-- including the country's third
largest city -- the opposition
doesn't allow voting to take
place.

Although 1. 8 million
Salvadorans voted in the elections this month, many more
citizens should have participated. Rameriz says El
Salvador has a population of 5
million people, but in the last
four years 50,000 people have
been killed, another 3,000

CA.

Rameriz calls the elections a
"political tool" used by the
Reagan administration to
justify the large amount of
military aid the US sends to
the country. "The real role the
US plays in the conflict
violates the most fundamental
rights of my people: The rights
to life, education, and
democracy -- the right to a free
nation.''

the Renaissance Room. "It's a
busy day,'' Guy said, ''but he
can't come in because his kitty's sick."
And several times students
haven't made it to class
because they're in jail.
Now, nobody's perfect.
Students and staff members
alike sometimes fail to meet
commitments such as attending class or finishing a project on time. Each day,
somewhere on campus, a student will probably plead, "I
just can't take the test on
Wednesday,'' or an instructor
will gruffly inform the class
that "due to unforeseen circumstancse, I won't be returning your papers to you until
next week." It's about as
regular as Oregon rain.
But every once in awhile
there are marvelous reasons
given for not doing what is
supposed to be done. And
some of the best, the most
humorous, are often the most
self-revealing.
Like the early morning
telephone call to the Home
Economics office from a
rather distraught young
woman, who said, ''Would
you please tell Mrs. Ellingson
(Early Childhood Education
instructor) I won't be in class
today. I got pregnant last
night."
Tedder
Cindy
And
secretary in Speech and Mass
Communications; got a call

one morning from a student
who said, "I can't come to
class today because my hog is
sick." Another time a student
who drives a doughnut truck
told Cindy it was a lot more
important that he delivered his
350 doughnuts while they were
fresh than attend class.
Not too long ago, Susan
Monteith, High School Completion instructor, had a student who was absent a few
times because he was attending
funerals. "After he had about
five relatives die, I became a
bit suspicious," she states. "I
asked him for the notices from
the newspaper. Would you
believe he was just clipping out
death notices of anybody ?"
In a like vein, Kitty
Seymour, Art and Applied
Design secretary, recalls the
student who had to be excused
to attend his grandmother's
funeral. "He had three grandmothers pass away that term,"
she said, ''before we began to
wonder ... ''
Most students' reasons are
bona fide, of course; that's
what makes them so interesting.
'' I went to the coast over the
weekend. I was working on my
observation on the beach when
a wave swept it away,''
brought a laugh to Jeanne
Armstrong, Telecourse instructor.
And you have to laugh at
the student who called with.

stuffing fall to the floor. "Just

'' Another mess and no
broom.'' She scolds Tawny
and tells her to put the rabbit
in her toy box. Tawny
hesitates momentarily, then
begins flinging the rabbit in
circles, suddenly letting it sail
across the room. Peggy covers
her eyes, uttering, "Lord, why
me?"
Peggy enrolled at LCC the
beginning of Fall Term, studying computers. She admits she
is not a whiz yet but says that
she knows a lot more about
computers and their functions
now than she did last year at
this time.

"I won't be in because I fell
over my dog last night and
broke my leg.'' (The laugh is
for the student's explanation,
or course; not for her misfortune.)
Sometimes the way the excuse is delivered is what makes
it humorous. Like the instructor who had a student
telephone him at 5:00 a.m. to
tell him she was sick; she
would miss the test.
"I was late for my appointment because my axle broke,
and the wheels fell off my
car," strained the credulity of
Frances Clark, Child Development instructor. "But,"
Frances says, "when I left and
drove down the street, there
was her car, sitting at an angle
with both wheels off... "
Early
Linda Riepe,
Childhood Education Coordinator, also had a student
who was late for an appointment the other day. "She was
at her CWE placement in a
local child care center, Linda
explained, ''and she was working with a child who suddenly
had diarrhea. She told me she
would be in as soon as she, the
child, and the center were all
cleaned up."
Then there's Pete Peterson,
Speech and Journalism instructor, who remembers a
student from a few years ago
who was supposed to chair a
discussion on journalism
ethics. The student didn't get
there though. He was stabbed ... by the estranged husband
of another journalism student.
But students aren't the only
source of interesting explanations on campus. Instructors,
too, have contributed their
share of reasons for not
holding class, not keeping office hours, not returning
papers or projects on time.
If you have a good example
of an instructor's excuse for
not doing what he or she is
supposed to do, please write it
down and turn it in to the
Torch office by Monday at

Night Hawks transfix Eugene audience

by Jackie Barry

TORCH Associate Editor

When music is good its audience projects an aura of being transfixed. When it's very
good, the opening beats cause
an audience to explode with
acceptance.
This is what happened at
B.J. Kelly's on Tuesday, May
when the Nighthawks
15
played to an extremely full
house.
The Nighthawks, who are
based in Washington D. C.,
describe their music as "Blue
Wave.'' Although this is cute,
new wave doesn't really come
across in their music. Bluesrock would be a more accurate
tag. They give credence to the
notion that white guys can, indeed, play and sing the blues.
The musical skill of each

band member is excellent and
the merging of skills is successful. There is strong drum
undertones
bass
and
throughout with enough
divergence from the standard
beat to make the music interesting.
The Robert Cray Band,
from Tacoma, has been on
tour with the Nighthawks for
two weeks. They played the
opening set, the Nighthawks
played the second with the
third played by both bands. In
this third set, Eugene blues
master, Curtis Salgado belted
out the vocals during one
number--"Mustang Sally."
The Nighthawks are usually
a four man band but a
keyboard player was added for
this tour. Harmonica and
vocals are performed by a man

with tatoos covering both of
his arms--Mark Wenner. Jim
Thackery performs vocals and
guitar, including some tooth
picking and some playing with
the guitar positioned on the

da - something there is apparently no shortage of in
Guatemala.

echelons of the Guatemalan
military, who are depicted as
being so rich that they now
need their own banking system
(The Bank of the Army of
Guatemala).
This alienating social system
has produced a multi-faceted,
widespread resistance movement. We follow new guerilla
recruits to a camp in the
mountains where they are introduced to ''revolutionary
consciousness." This same
guerilla group holds a ''town
meeting'' at a village in their
area, giving peasants an open
forum to share their opinions
and experiences. "On the
plantations we work from sunup to sundown and we're paid
almost nothing,'' one complains. Others tell of family
members murdered by the
military. The guerilla leader
asks all the women who've
been .raped by the army to
raise their hands. Several do.
We then visit one of the
"s tategic hamlets" the

back of his head. Jan
Zukowski provides vocals and
bass, Pete Ragusa plays drums
and does vocals, and the guest
keyboard player is Greg
Wetzel.

Nighthawks play in Eugene during western states tour.

The spirit of the Guatemalan people prevails

by Kevin Harrington

TORCH Staff Writer

"When the Mountains
Tremble'' is a beautifully filmed, feature length, color
documentary about the
guerilla movement in
Guatemala, and the roots and
cases of the unrest there. It is
narrated by Rigoberta Menchu, a Guatemalan Indian
woman who has lost most of
her family to · political
violence.
Rigoberta recounts how one
of her brothers died when he
was accidentally doused by a
plane spraying pesticide on a
cotton plantation. Another
brother died from malnutrition. Her father was one of 40
people burned alive by
Guatemalan police firebombs
after his group had taken over
the Spanish embassy to protest
abuses of civilians by the
military in 1980. The police
chose to burn the building
down rather than negotiate
with the protesters inside. Her
two sisters were off "fighting
resistance
the
with
somewhere.''
The film uses several opportunities to show the contrast
between reality and propagan-

We see exceptionally lightskinned Guatemalan girls
competing in the '' Miss
Guatemalan" contest which
includes a "cultural segment",
after the bathing suit competition, in which the contestants
wear traditional Guatemalan
Indian costumes. This is immediately followed by an in''real''
with
terview
Guatemalan Indian women
who complain about being
"put on display as if in a zoo"
by tourism-hungry officials.
"When the Mountains
Tremble'' goes out of its way
to illustrate how the present
turmoil in Guatemala came to
be. The film realistically reenacts the military takeover of
Guatemala in 1954, in which
the democratically elected leftist government of J acabo
Arbenz was overthrown by the
CIA at the behest of the
United Fruit Company, which
was fearful of having its enormous influence in Guatemala
diminished by "communism."
Thirty years of absolute power
have apparently made a
"killer elite" out of the higher

Guatemalan army has
established to control the
movement of people and
materials through guerilla
country. "No (long) faces,
because you know what will
happen to you if you don't
behave,'' the villagers are
tersely informed by a representative of the army during a
village "assembly."
While "When the Mountains Tremble" isn't exactly
light entertainment.. it isn't
totally depressing either.
Viewers are given several opportunities to marvel at the
strength and beauty of the
Mayan spirit, as these incredibly oppressed people
cope with adversity so extreme
as to be incomprehensible to
the average American.
"When the Mountains
Tremble'' and the short
documentary "Nicaragua:
Report from the Front'' are
playing at the Bijou theater in
Eugene.

Nyberg's satisfaction comes
from putting his education to
practical use. He hopes his
new in-home business will take
some of the pressure off of
having to work two jobs while
going to school. He says the
following procedure may be
used in contracting him for a
soil analysis:
''To collect your soil sample, take scoops of soil 3-4 inches below the surface from
several locations in your
garden. Use a plastic scoop;
don't touch the soil with your
hands and don't smoke. Mix
all the scoops of soil together
in a clean plastic pail. When
thoroughly mixed, measure

LCC Bookstore
Graduates we have graduation tassels and
graduation announcements available.

Nyberg says, depending on
the mail service, the print-outs
can be back to the customers
within six to ten days.
"It'll take a little longer as
soon as the weather dries up
and people start really thinking about their gardens,'' he
says. That may not work as
fast as an aspirin for a gardening headache, but it's faster
than any one else around. And
the results might last longer.

Poor------

She considered dropping
out again when she had problems with babysitters and
struggled on what money she
is getting for her education.
Then just before Winter Break
a friend of Peggy's offered to
babysit the girls for a set fee
per week.
Trying to raise two kids is
rough, Peggy says, but trying
to raise them alone--at least
for the time being--is even
rougher. "I_love my two little
girls. Them, school, and
thinking of John coming home
someday is what keeps me going.''
She says she firmly believes
she made the right decision
when choosing to go to LCC
instead of welfare. She wants
her husband, as well as her
daughters, to be proud of her
someday for making that decision. Peggy says, "I think
when my kids grow older and I
tell them what options I had,
they will be proud."
Peggy says she has not gotten used to John not being at
home with her and the girls.
"It's kind of like not appreciating being able to see until I see a blind person in their •
many situations. A person
doesn't realize the benefit of
something until it's gone."
Peggy says she used to think
her husband and her children
were all her future amounted
to, but now she says, "I think
I have found the beginning of
a future through which I can
at least offer my daughters a
chance in life from the education I started at LCC. ''
