Lane Commun ity Collese 4000 East 30th • Eugene, Oregon 97405 Planas -- Filipino's pro-American stance changing Ellen Platt • vRCH Associate Editor Charito Planas described the current unrest in the Phillipines, and explained the historical background of the struggle to 20 people in the LCC Boardroom on Friday, May 18. Planas, exiled from the Phillipines in 1978 for her criticism of the Marcos government, . says informing the American public of the actions of Marcos' regime is her mission. The past 400 yeats of Phillipine history were shaped by colonization and domination by Western powers. Planas says first the Spanish, and later the Americans, disrupted their culture and society in the name of God and civilization. Although the Phillipines became a democratic republic in 1898, the independence was brief. The US annexed them following a two-year struggle, and they became a colonial possession again, Planas explained. ''Our legacy from American colonization is democratic institutions, but when that same democratic institution was denied us, there was no protest from the US government. Neither was sanction imposed on the (Marcos) regime ... so there is such a thing as double standards.' ' She claims Marcos declared martial law (in September 1972) when his constitutional term of office was about to end with "their (the Nixon administration's) knowledge and consent. . .because nothing can happen in the Phillipines without at least the knowledge of the US government.'' In addition to the political unrest under Marcos, the economic situation is becoming more critical, Planas says. Poverty has been a problem in the Phillipines throughout colonial history. "It is under the Marcos regime that poverty has been heightened. . .the continued impoverishment of the people and enrichment of a few'' has been institutionalized, asserts Planas. Planas says three conditions keep Marcos and the wealthy in power: Impasses on exports, dependence on foreign investments, and dependence on foreign aid. Although the land is rich, and the natural environment abundant, Filipinos go hungry, Planas states. Despite cultivation of 50 percent of the land, the people have a low caloric intake. Much of the food raised is for export, crops such as pineapples, bananas, and sugar cane. Asia has long been an investors "heaven" because of low labor costs, Planas adds. Investors are invited to the Phillipines to help the economy. However, Planas says they borrow $8 for every $1 they invest, draining wealth away from the country. Foreign corporations are able to employ Filipinos for one-fourth to one-third the wage they pay Americans, and are not required to provide benefits or decent working conditions. Under these conditions women in particular are exploited, and discarded when they are no longer useful, Planas says. Marcos and his military supporters are heavily dependent on foreign military aid. Despite the fact that ''we have no external enemy," the Marcos government maintains and army of 300,000, and receives $138 million in aid from the US every year. Planas states the principle use of this force is to keep the populance in submission. Because Marcos is proAmerican, and allows the US to maintain bases in the Phillipines , he continues to receive financial aid and US support, says Planas. Planas asserts all economic and political struggles in the third world are defined as a struggle between the US and the USSR by US policy makers. She adds the American people are not blameless because they don't question how their government spends its money. The pendulum of change is swinging in the Phillipines, she cautions. "The Phillipine peo- Publications' editors chosen Two women have been selected to head LCC student publications next year. The Media Commission met last Friday, May 18, and chose Jackie Barry to edit the' TORCH, the weekJy campus newspaper; and Kim Simmoneau to head the literary magazine, Denali. Barry, of Elmira, is a broadcasting major. She has acted as co-associate editor of the TORCH since April. "I'm looking ·forward to my new responsibilities and I hope many of the current staff members will return next year,'' Barry says. She hopes to place issues of the TORCHin selected areas off campus. Barry plans to take applications for editorial board staff members through the end of the term. Any positions she does not fill this spring will be reopened for hiring in the fall pie are pro-American. . .but an animosity is growing in the Phillipines because what the Filipinos see is the embrace of Vice President Bush, (and him) telling Marcos 'we admire you for your adherence to your democratic principles and democratic processes.' ~' US policy makers continue to repeat their errors, Planas especially their says, underestimation of "people power.'' She believes history proves ''people power is stronger than military hardware," ·yet the US doesn't learn from its mistakes in Vietnam and Iran, and still supports Marcos. Planas summed up her position, "We ask that you understand our plight, it is a struggle for economic and political justice, not a contest between Russia and the United States. ''The best way to maintain the security of this country (the US) is to respect the sovereignty of other nations." ;,,, .0 :z... 3: ..>( ~ ;,,, .0 0 0 ..c: 0..

Page 2 May 24 Jt:1n@ ~, 1984 The Torch Free For All Keep all options open by Chris Gann TORCH Editor This is it -- the last TORCH of 1983-84. It's my last byline, my last editorial for the TORCH. But before I go I leave one short anecdote that might help other students. ... From my initial contact with counselors three years ago, until today, I've found LCC staff members -- Le t t er s Ramirez sponsered by CALC To the Editor: Thank you for publishing your excellent interview with Secundino Ramirez of the El Salvador Human Rights Commission in your May 17 issue. I would like to add one piece of information. Though Secundino's visit to Oregon was made possible by the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization, his appearance at LCC was scheduled through Clergy and Laity Concerned (CALC). I think it is important to mention the local sponsor because people who want to · support self-determination in • Central America need to know how they can become involved here. CALC is a peace and justice organization with a particu,lar concern about the US role in Central America. Beyond scheduling educational presentations, CALC is currenlty working on a couple of major projects. As part of the Alliance for Peace in Central America, we are working on a ballot initiative which would put the people of Eugene on record as opposing the use of US tax dollars for military aid to Central America. We are also working to provide public sanctuary for Central American refugees counselors, instructors, classified staff -- ready to answer questions, talk over problems, and offer constant support. I enrolled at LCC with a plan -- to get a Word Processing certificate. A class in Publication Design was part of the word processing program, and as I attended the classes I began to see other possibilities for my future. Just one class, and a supportive instructor opened up a whole new world of options for me . I started to see a way to combine the word processing skills I was learning, the writing skills I'd almost forgotten I had, with my budding interest in paste-up and (one-third of the Salvadoran population is refugee) as a key group in the Interfaith Sanctuary Network. To contact CALC or the Committee in Solidarity with the Central American People at our shared office, call 485-1755 or visit us at 372 W. 10th in Eugene. Marion Malcom LCC student CALC staff Visit to Nicaragua . . 1nsp1res LCC student To the Editor: Having recently returned from three weeks harvesting cotton in Nicaragua, I am now more than ever opposed to US "covert" actions to undermine that country's government. At the northwestern cotton plantation of Punta Nata, I was touched by the workers' spirited pride in their ability to defend Nicaragua against USbacked counterrevolutionaries. Several young militia members told me of the encouragement and inspiration they found in the example of the Vietnamese struggle for self-determination. :~=t~!AJ~t design. All of a sudden I had a new, unexpected option -- journalism. And I enrolled in several other courses in communications, became involved with the TORCH, met other journalists. • • • C: What did I learn?

So look around, explore your options and interests -- take a chance. ~ ~ Cl) ui -a -~ ,., 0 . In the four and a half years since overthrowing the dictator Somoza, the Nicaraguan government has reduced illiteracy from 50 to 12 percent, and unemployment from 60 to 14 percent. In Punta Nata the results of the literacy campaign were striking: Five years ago not one of its 300 residents was literate, and now all but 12 have learned to read and write in the plantation's newly constructed schoolhouse. Basic food consumption has increased significantly throughout Nicaragua in recent years, and such previously endemic diseases as polio, malaria, and measles have been nearly eradicated. While no medical services were available in Punta Nata during Somoza's rulership, the plantation workers are now attended by a full-time doctor and nurse's aid. Medical attention is still such a novelty that children actually look forward to the diversion of getting immunizations. That these social advances have been made while suffering repeated attacks by USs up ported counterrevolutionaries is evidence of the Nicaraguan leadership's tremendous commitment to ameliorating their people's living standards. We must not allow US interference to contribute to the destruction of the government of Nicaragua. Helen Rodman Nursing ,D 0 0 ..c: i:i.. Good-bye from the 1983-84 TORCH staff Cashiers are above average To the Editor: In response to Jackie Barry's article about the Cashiers (May 10-16) I'd like to say that the tone of her review grossly understated the ability and performance of one of Eugene's most popular bands. I'm an avid Cashiers fan and have been following them a little over a year now. I have seen and been involved with other bands around Eugene, most of which get together (barely) and play music for awhile and then fizzle out over a period of a few months. In just over one year, the Cashiers have worked and focused their energy to produce a sound that is unique to them. One of the tell-tale signs of a successful music group is the achievement of an individual "sound" that can be recognized, even if fans don't know the name. My point is that it's pretty amazing that a band that was "thrown" together 13 months ago has already achieved that sound, has seriously combined musical and financial energies and possesses above-average equipment for that sound, and has become "tight" musically so that they rarely miss a beat. =-~....- ... - ~ ) - 0 GJachbitd ... a,.

Forum by Ondy Weeldreyer 1984-85 ASLCC President Greetings from your new ASLCC President! As I see it, with our world moving faster and faster it's easy to feel powerless, slip into apathy, and let what happens, happen. While the ASLCC cannot begin to solve world problems, it can make its presence known on campus, in the community, and in the state. Your input and support can help create a collective student voice that can argue and persuade the powers that be to consider student needs and concerns. I know you've heard it before, but the truth dies hard ... there Since the election the executive cabinet has been busy planning the direction student government will take in the year ahead. Of the six executive cabinet positions, five are held by students actively involved in student politics this year. We are committed to learning from the experiences of the outgoing administration to improve the effectiveness of the ASLCC next year. We take our new responsibilities seriously. We are dedicated to creating a student government that rises above the usual "sandbox politics" to simulate real world politics, when solving student problems. We are striving to establish a legislative body that is responsive to your needs and concerns. This is quite an undertaking and can only be achieved with your help and input. If you've read along this far it indicates you are concerned with how issues affect you, and you are the person we're looking for to help create an effective student government next year. We feel the success of future ASLCC programs would be ensured if we could get adequate student input into our planning process. The Orientation Workshop will be held June 15-17, at Heceta Head on the coast. We would like to invite individuals with significant input into next year's planning to give a formal presentation to the new Senate on the afternoon of June 15. If you want to participate in this process, please submit your ideas and suggestions in writing before finals week. The two major areas needing improvement are communication, both internal and external, and fiscal accountability through improved budget management. We are researching a creative new system to increase student input that is currently being used at Linn-Benton Community College. The selection of ASLCC Senator Steve Ramseur as Communication Director was based on his good writing and organizational skills, as well as his innovative ideas to improve ASLCC Communications. We feel these measures will indeed improve ASLCC communications next year. Research to improve the management of the ASLCC budget is continuing. New Cultural Program guidelines are being implemented to create better accountability in the program. ASLCC Adviser Jay Jones has created new, more stringent budget policies and requisition forms for the coming year. Since the election, Treasurer-elect Robyn Braverman has been training for her new position with the current Treasurer Cristi Becker and Jones. Robyn has experience in budget management from owning and operating a local business. For these reasons, we feel the budget problems·that occurred this year will not reoccur next year. All the ASLCC working documents are poorly written and desperately need revision. These documents are the backbone of the Senate and the current wording of them has contributed to many of the the problems encountered by the Senate in the past two years. The new administration is fortunate enough to have several good writers, most notably long-time ASLCC supporter, Bob Baldwin, recently appointed as Student Resource Center (SRC) Director. Bob has been deeply involved in local and state politics for many years. He has expertise in legislative writing and, in collaboration with ASLCC lawyer Stan Cram, will be very involved in rewriting these important documents. All of the current ASLCC programs will be continued next year. Computerization of the budget and SRC programs is being researched for possible implementation next year. Vice President Meredith Myers is continuing research needed to implement a cooperative child care program and an effective teacher evaluation/ student feedback process. Cultural Director Bryan Moore is committed to planning a cultural program of high-quality events tied closer to individual departme·nts. We , will continue special events, such as Earth Fair and Peace Week, in addition to sponsoring bands and speakers. I am excited with the potential of the new 1984-85 Senate. Hard-working, dedicated senators, coupled with an experienced cabinet, will provide LCC with strong but sensitive leadership. I strongly encourage you to plug in and get involved. Have a pleasant summer of fun and sun and see ya this fall! Faculty contract Military spending imbalanced after 14 months Funding is critical for education Forum by Bryan Moore 1983-84 ASLCC President I would like to extend my gratitude and appreciation for having had the opportunity to serve as ASLCC president 1983-84. The ASLCC Senate this year consisted of many diverse people who were all part of a valuable learning and growing process. We have fulfilled the commitment to maintain the quality of important student service programs as well as recognized the importance of effective lobbying to insure financial security and equal educational opportunity. I will be continuing my involvement with ASLCC as 1984-85 Cultural Director. Also, I have recently been ~elected as Executive Chair to CCOSAC (the state student association for the 13 Oregon colleges). community CCOSAC's goals are voter registration and working to defeat Propositon 3 coming up in November's election. Both CCOSAC and LCC are members of the United States Student Association (USSA), a national organization. USSA has increasingly become more sensitve to the needs· of community colleges. It has just received a $10,000 grant to conduct research into common national needs. This grant was made possible by the involvement of the two major student associations of Oregon, CCOSAC and the Oregon Student Lobby (four-year institutions). Lack of student input from two-year institutions is the No. 3 nationwide problem. This will be reaffirmed in the study USSA will conduct. Fran Johnson, ASLCC vice presi- dent, has been working on this issue on our campus for over a year. Included in this is the lack of recognition of the increasing enrollment and needs of women students. It is the vision that LCC will serve as a role model to other colleges by creating positive changes in attitudes and behaviors towards women. The upcoming year will be a critical year in determining the equitibility of education for women and poor people locally and nationally. In addition to this, we face one greater concern: World peace. The gross imbalance of monies funneled into military spending/insanity is ruinous to the educational opportunities for us all. Finally, I wish the best of luck to Cindy Weeldreyer, the new ASLCC President, in accepting the responsibility of working towards the resolution of these issues. Once again, thank you and may peace be with you always. Corrections Corrections Corrections Corrections Corrections Corrections We regret that we credited information to Norm Nyberg which was in fact received from Richard Null, LCC Associate Professor of Life Sciences.

Sorry, Bonny. by Ellen Platt TORCH Associate Editor After 14 months of bargaining, the faculty has ratified a contract and expects the Board of Education will accept the terms at its meeting Wednesday night. This contract applies to four groups at LCC, the full time faculty, parttime faculty (those who work less than half time), student health nurses and athletic trainers, and the "alphabet group" -- those people who teach Adult Basic Education, High School Completion, and English as a Second Language. • Under the new contract, full and part-time faculty members will receive a 3.5 percent cost of living raise, retroactive to the beginning of this academic year. The "alphabet group," as well as the student health nurses, and the athletic trainers, received larger salary increases to bring them closer to parity "for the role we ask them to fill," says Hank Douda, director of employee relations. • Medical insurance coverage was also changed. "What we did was restructure the insurance package so the college will pick-up a greater percentage of insurance premiums and a lesser part of the previous benefits package,'' states Douda. Over time, Douda hopes the new package will provide better insurance protection for the faculty and staff by tailoring the coverage to individual needs, and help the college contain the cost of providing full insurance protection for its employees. • Employment security issues were also clarified by the contract. Not only is the order of lay-off specified, but the definition of the "lay-off units" is included. The amount of notice the college must give its employees in the event of a lay-off has also been specified. Financial emergencies require a 60-day notice, while planned changes or reorganizations by the college require them to give 90-day notice of lay-off. • Alloted in-service time and the work-year were also covered by portions of the contract. Full-time faculty members went from a 180 day work-year, to one with 178 days. The alphabet group went from 178 days to 17 5 days in their work-year. The greater full-time faculty will have eight in-service days before school begins. Part-time faculty will receive four hours of in-service time for every unit they teach. The other two groups will have five days of in-service time. • LCC's early retirement program was enhanced, reports Douda. The previous contract had allowed retirement at 60 with a $250 a month stipend until age 62. The new contract gives faculty members the option of retiring at 58 with a $300 a month stipend. • Faculty members will be able to take as many courses as they wish on their free time at no charge -- the previous contract had allowed them one free course per term.

New Gorham appointed as Center head The Media Commission approved new guidelines to preserve and strengthen the magazine at an April 20 meeting. An ad hoc committee established by the commission recommended the changes after 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. 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 new features of the magazine include the following: • Denali will now have a new empahsis -- on creative and imaginative writing -- and a reduced emphasis on the graphic and fine arts. >. ..0 t ..,. z., ~ >. ..0 0 0 ..c ll, M.C. Director Kent Gorham Kent Gorham was officially confirmed as the MultiCultural Center Coordinator on March 14, 1984, after acting as interim coordinator for four months. He was chosen from among 43 applicants. Gorham has functioned as advisor and program developer since he began his job two months ago. He says he tr~es to help students get in :and out of school as fast as possible, without financial or academic pressures slowing this process. The Multi-Cultural Center -- which is part of the Counseling Department -- was without a coordinator from July until November when Gorham was appointed on a temporary basis. Gorham was unable to do any program development until his permanent appointment was confirmed. Gorham believes that the center has done ''pretty well considering that we got a late start,'' and says it ''will have a better impact starting in the fall." He will be starting things up again in early September in preparation for Fall Term. 2. Denali revamps Denali will continue to be published next year -- but with a different format and emphasis. • 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 six hours per week with students to produce the five magazines -- to assist with typesetting, design, pasteup, process camera work, and other technical requirements. Denali adviser Peggy Marston said of the changes: "All of these are positive things that will help Denali staff look at the job seriously and and still allow the them to be creative while operating within a budget.'' 3. New gear LCC's Flight Technology program replaced its 15 year old GAT-1 flight simulator with an AST-300 flight simulator in early February of this school year. "It's met all of our expectations and more," says Terry Hagberg, . chairman of that department. keynote address by two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling. The AST-300 can simulate weather and geographic conditions that are realistic, allowing students to ''fly'' to places such as Seattle withmit actually flying to Seattle. Flight Technology students will see this reflected in their fees before long. Earth Fair '84 featured over two dozen speakers, entertainers, and presentations that focused on the human connection to the environment. LCC students in the En_gergy Resource Group (ERG), in conjunction with ASLCC and the University of Oregon Survival Center, organized the April 16-20 events. The simulator is also available for public use. Cost is $36 per hour which includes both instructor and simulator time. KLCC added a production room and will add a transmitter In his keynote address, Steve Barton, KLCC's chief Pauling called on about 500 engineer, added a third proaudience members to "do duction room to augment (everything) you can ... to stop KLCC's existing facilities. nuclear war.''

Earth Week festivities A week-long celebration of the Earth was highlighted by a Other speakers during Earth Fair '84 included state and local officials who spoke about regional issues: The Washington Power Supply System (WPSS), land use planning, recycling. Earth Fair organizer Michael Blackburn said the week was a rousing success, with most of the special talks attended by 30 to 40 LCC students and staff members. financial aid regulations Although it's too early to give numbers and hard data about the effects of the new federal financial aid regulations on LCC students, the Financial Aid Office made the following suggestions and clarifications: • It is extremely important for students who received a notice of ineligibility for financial aid to appeal if they still want the funds and feel their circumstances warrant further consideration. • These notices are sent to all students who are near or over the 9 term/108 credit limit imposed by the new regulations, regardless of how close they are to completing their present program. • Appeal forms are available in the Financial Aid Office. Complete the form and attach an evaluation of your transcript (available at the Student Records Office), and return the appeal to the Financial Aid Office. • Factors considered during the review of appeals are: Satisfactory progress toward the degree at the time of the appeal;- the number of terms the student has already received financial aid; degrees or certificates the student has already received, and if it is appropriate for them to seek another degree or certificate; the number of times the student has changed majors or programs; whether or not the student was required to take remedial courses prior to embarking on the current program; if the program requires more terms or credits than are allowed by the limits of the regulations, (some Associates degrees exceed the limit). 6. Business Assistance Center The Small Business Adminis tr a ti on announced February 23 the selection of LCC to administer a $350,000 business assistance grant. (Continued on page 5) The Torch May 24~~u. :c 8, 1984 Page 5 Business - (Continued from page 4) This money was a supplement to $500,000 that was granted by the Oregon State Legislature to the Oregon Deptartment of Education to set up business development centers at Oregon's 15 community colleges. LCC was the only community college to have a Business Assistance Center (BAC) until this money was granted, according to Chuck Reich, who took over as director of the BAC on March 1. Reich is a former investment planner and consultant and was also a professor at the UO and Penn State University. Sandy Cutler took a leave as director of the BAC to act as administrator of this new program, which is using the LCC/BAC as a model for the other 15 centers. The SBA has made similar grants to other states but the Oregon grant is the first to be administered by a community college. z Campus barriers on the mend Although physical barriers still exist for disabled people on the LCC campus -- some have been removed this year. In the Oct. 27 issue of the TORCH, two staff members traversed the campus in wheelchairs and experienced some of the difficulties faced by disabled students. The TORCH brought these barriers to the attention of the student body in an issue which earned the newspaper an "Outstanding service to the Community'' award from the American Scholastic Press Association. • Bjo Ashwill, an LCC counselor, was surprised when a woman walked into her office with ''enormous hedge clippers, clanking them together remarking 'Where's the offending bush!' " Unfortunately, Ash will had no idea what the woman was talking about. Apparently a classified ad in the TORCH complained about bushes overgrowing a wheelchair ramp. The groundskeeper from Campus Facilities showed-up ready to "go get it." Ashwill had no knowledge of the ad, or the bush, and the groundskeeper spent the entire morning walking around campus trying to locate the inaccessible ramp. But, it was a sign that the college was sensitive to the needs of the disabled on campus. Ashwill gives credit to several departments. • Ash will says ''The library has been a tremendously helpful department this year,'' installing a new automatic door for disabled persons in wheelchairs. The door only operated correctly for one day, but will be repaired as soon as possible. • Planned additions in the library include: A lowered portion of the check-out counter so wheelchair students can feel more comfortable; and a new pressure activated gate may replace the turnstile at the east exit. • Ashwill says other departments are helpful, but many "are not aware that we (Disabled Student Services,DSS) are the in-house unit, that if they have any questions or concerns about disability issues, we're the•one to call!" • Next year DSS hopes to make bathrooms more accessible to disabled students by modifying the stalls, sinks, and urinals. The first step in the process will be an accessibility survey conducted by George Maumary and Delored May, DSS employees. • Ash will says ''the purpose of the survey is to determine whether or not each building has an accessible bathroom'' that disabled people can use, and, if not, what might be done to improve them. The Apprenticeship and Science Buildings both have bathrooms ''you cannot get into" with a wheelchair. She thinks "it's time the college looked at this real seriously." Next year, DSS would like to refinish portions of the Center and Administration Buildings exterior sidewalks with friction materials. When these surfaces are wet, they .f become slick causing, persons ~ using cruthes to fall. .:.: i • Yet another project for the £ DSS team is revision of the ] student darkrooms on cam.-.................. :::;;~----=-- o.. pus, so wheelchair students Some examples of the can participate in photography response of the student body classes without the current and the college to the barriers manuverability and height were: problems. Another goal Bjo and her staff have is to make the LCC community more aware of disabled students. They would like to change the attitude towards disabled students shown by able-bodied people. In most cases, the able-bodied person will either not acknowledge the disabled person, by staring at walls, ceilings and anything else of interest as they pass by, or they "over-do" and try to sympathize with the person. From the day you were born you've ·been told not to stare or ask questions of disabled persons, "so it's no wonder that you ate filled with false assumptions," exclaims Ashwill. • She emphasizes that we all like to be treated alike and a disabled friend can be like any other friend. 9. Glass mural nears end The stained glass mural which will grace the east entrance of the Center Building is nearing completion. Art students and instructor Tenold Peterson designed the project last fall, and began construction of the mural at the end of November. 8. £ l Smokers v. clean air ~ i £ ~ if The seven students who are working on the project have put in 4,500 hours of labor to date, and expect to work another 500 hours to complete the mural, according to Linda Alford, who represents the project titled "From Pencil to Glass." The 20 by 25 foot mural will fill the entire area above the 8 foot doors to the east entrance of the Center Building. Some of the materials used were purchased at a reduced rate, the artists have made five trips to Portland to obtain glass from two _manufacturers since the project began. Alford reports the project will be finished before summer break -- it is currently threefourths complete. The mural will be installed in the Center Building next fall. Fund-raising efforts are -going well. Alford says the ,., students have raised $4,000 of 1 the $10,000 they estimated the ~ project would cost.

But college officials are finding ''quite a few instances of people bringing ashtrays into areas where smoking is prohibited," Reed says. "We're finding a lot of burned carpet, linoleum, and upholstery." If people have complaints about others smoking in no smoking areas, Reed says the best way to rectify the situaby Mike Green TORCH Staff Writer tion is to "confront people directly, be affirmative about Preparations for the 1984 their rights." Olympic Scientific Congress ''Hopefully it will get better (OSC), to be held in Eugene July 19-26, are well under as we get conditioned to the way, according to Organizanew law," she adds. LCC is now in compliance with the Oregon Clean Air Act -- but many smokers still are not. The new law went into effect Dec. 31, 1983. As a result, smoking is not allowed in indoor spaces "normally accessible to the public without invitation" said Paul Colvin, director of Campus Services. These are common areas such as hallways, restrooms, and meeting rooms, but not enclosed offices or workshops. ! 10. Olympic Scientific Congress tional Chairman Michael Ellis. When Ellis learned through international contacts that UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) had not found a site for the 1984 OSC, the University of Oregon immediately prepared a bid, and submitted it to UNESCO -- far in advance of other major cities. The hype, says Ellis, was convincing the organization that Eugene could handle an event of this size. Ultimately, UNESCO handed the bid to Eugene, and preparations began for the largest international "convention" in the history of this state. Ellis says the congress has confirmed 1000 speakers -rho st of them scientists, sports experts, therapists, and coaches. They will be keynote speakers at various seminars and activities held throughout the week-long event. Among these keynote speakers is Secretary of Agriculture John Block, who will address a community rally at Mac Court. '' All the special events are in place," says Ellis. "So far we have processed 1600 applications, and accepted over 1200 papers from around the globe." The submissions are essays by scientists and experts which will be reviewed in the seminars held during the OSC. Participants will exchange information at these seminars, and apply the knowledge when they return home. According to Ellis, the Soviet boycott of the US Olympics, could effect the congress. "We're a little nervous about the Russians not coming," he admits, "The Scientific Delegation is dispatched by the same committee as the athletes, so it's a good possibility they might not show." He says his greatest concern about the boycott is not so much the economic effect it will have on the congress, but that it might limit the overall effectiveness of the event. "They have agreed to participate in the International Society of Music Educators Convention, which follows the (Olympic) congress in Eugene, so we're still hoping." The benefits of hosting such an event are numerous. Over 4,000 people will travel from points all over the globe to spend one week in Eugene, Oregon. Pictures of the University, the Hult Center, even the Mill Race· will be broadcast world wide by the press. The entire area will be in a festive state, as the city rolls out the carpet for delegates from around the world. While the 4,000 delegates are visiting Eugene, it's estimated they will spend $3-4 million on food, lodging, tours, and, of course, souvenirs. Those dollars will multiply as the people who receive them, spend them again.

In fact, according to his boss, his success as a car salesman is ''phenomenal.'' Campo is the man who delivers the pitch for Valley River Dodge, as well as for dealers in Pittsburgh, San Diego, Miami, and Memphis. "Friends!" he says to us through our TV sets. Then he pauses before he continues. "Valley River Dodge-Eugene's finest! Take this car-right--heere!" Campo has even acquired a following, as if he were a cult hero.

'' And I think they will hurt their (Valley River Dodge's) image in the long run." Their image in the long run doesn't seem to be the point. Whether or not they increase sales is the point. Valley River Dodge's (VRD) sales have doubled since they started running the ads in January and traffic has quadrupled. Jay Goldstein, a public relations consultant from Goldstein and Company in Eugene says, ''The rule in advertising is 'Whatever works is good.' The public doesn't respond as well to creative ads whether we like it or not. Ad agencies want ads that will win awards,'' Goldstein continues. ''However, clients want ads that will make money.'' What does Goldstein think of the ads? "I find them amusing," he says. Bob Taber, a professor of advertising at the U of O also says, "I think they're amusing,'' He adds, '' I now know that I can get a car for $49 down." , So, does it really matter that some, indeed many, people find the ads obnoxious and irritating? ''The bottom line is-they work,'' says Dick Withnell, one of the owners of VRD. Why do they work so well? Consider the range of ads that are presented for cars. Most local ads depict the owner of the dealership saying something like ''Eggs are cheaper in the county and so are my cars," or "We're just three trees past the village green." These guys would make nice neighbors but, for some reason, this notion doesn't make people flock to their businesses. The national ads have a different format. They're a lot like music videos in many cases -- the music is upbeat and the visual effects are slick and flashy. Do we buy these cars? Sometimes. Can we ignore the message in these ads? Yes. We can file them away with our thoughts about neighbors and Media Rites wins award Marcia Mint Danab, John Hockenberry and M'Lou Zahner Ollswang win national award. The 1983 Champion Media A ward for Economic Understanding have awarded a first prize of $5,000 in the small market radio category to Marcia Mint Danab, John Hockenberry and M'Lou Zahner Ollswang for their half-hour radio play and documentary entitled, "WPPSS: Who Pays the Tab?" The broadcast, produced by Media Rites and aired on KLCC-FM on August 31, 1983, covered the default of the Washington Public Power Supply System--the largest municipal bond default in history. Ms. Danab, the executive producer, is currently a KLCC volunteer and assistant general manager of the Eugene Ballet Company.

We remember him and his message, Valley River Dodge has good prices with low down-payments. This is especially true after numerous exposures to the message. And we are exposed to numerous messages. "They communicate one thing very clearly,'' says Taber. "Price. In the end, what you say is more important then how you say it." Taber also said that these ads serve to position VRD as a price dealer. Why can't VRD do what other local dealers are doing, get up and say, 'We have good prices.'?" In their book ''Positioning: The Battle For Your Mind" Madison Avenue ad wizards Ries and Trout explain this. "Our extravagant use of communication to solve a host of business and social problems has so jammed our channels that only a tiny fraction of all messages actually get through. And not the most important ones either.'' They go on to list the millions of pictures and words that we must choose from every day. ''That onequart container that sits on top of your neck can hold just so much." National Dealer's Consultants (NDC) of San Diego produces these ads which they run in 80 markets. "They work everywhere," says Rob Stamps, producer I director for NDC when speaking of their creations. Campo's approach gets the greatest response however. ''Sometimes Davey Campo's ads bring in a couple of hundred phone calls a day." Campo is humble and matter-of-fact about the whole thing. "We've been real fortunate," he says, adding, "I've been a car man for 30 years and I know the business." Stamps puts it another way. "Davey is like Howard Cosen. People say, 'What in the world is that guy doing up there?" LCC's margin of excellence in danger s_ays Eldon Schafer by Jackie Barry TORCH Associate Editor LCC's "margin of excellence'' is in danger of being lost, says President Eldon ·Schafer. And he's doing something about it. With the help of Pat Williams of the Community Relations and Development Office, Schafer is meeting with local business people at the rate of two per week to acquire donations for the college. Although $90,000 is raised each year, this money is already earmarked for scholarships and grants and additional undesignated resources are needed to make improvements and repairs at LCC that are not covered in budget projections. Schafer cited Gonyea Square and a rotting timber outside of the Administration Building as examples of areas that would benefit from additional . resources. As part of this project faculty donating $100 a year or more will become members of the President's Club and anyone donating $1,000 a year or more will become a President's Associate. "Their enthusiasm has been very high," says Williams of the response that Schafer has been receiving from local business people . Retention Committee to present dynamic program The Student Retention Advisory Committee will present a "dynamic and upbeat" twohour program for all LCC faculty and staff during the Fall Inservice Program, on September 21 and 22, reports Program Director Steve Vogler. This program, endorsed by ASLCC and the administration, will focus on retaining and serving students successfully. The committee hopes to increase and encourage staff and faculty awareness of opportunities for student success. To accomplish this the program will employ a variety of tools: A student-faculty panel discussion; an original videotape filmed at LCC; live performances by students in the Performing Arts Department; and small-group workshops. The ultimate goal of the program is to increase the retention of students in all types of classes offered at LCC. The committee has also developed follow-up activities for use throughout the 1984-85 school year. Among these are: Idea books for faculty and staff; student and faculty surveys; and mini-workshops to develop student retention skills.

The Torch May 24-J~. :c'8, 1984 Page 7 Even casual drinking may lead to jail or worse by Dennis Monen TORCH Staff Writer "I would have traded places with any one of those students on that evening I saw the inside of another jail," says Mark Scanlon (not his real name), staring out the window from the LCC cafeteria, watching the many students coming and going. Scanlon reaches into his shirt pocket, extracts a container of Copenhagen. He takes off the lid and pinches a large wad and places the dark, aromatic tabacco on the inside of his bottom lip. After a minute or two, he picks up his empty styrafoam cup, and spits. "I'm not a compulsive drinker," he declares. But it was during the Spring Break when Scanlon received his second DUii (Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants). In March, Scanlon saw the chance to enjoy himself doing some fishing at Flores Lake. He put his fishing equipment in the back end of his Datsun King Cab, stopped by a store to pick up a six-pack of Miller, and drove to Bandon. While rigging his line he drank the six pack -- "not while I was driving," he says. But when rainy weather set in, he decided to drive to Corvallis to do some visiting. "I guess I figured it would be all •right to drink the beer before I drove. (But) that kind ed the officer, the state policeman said that a report from a woman had come from Bandon that a black vehicle was being driven recklessly. And when the policeman stoppped Scanlon, Scanlon stepped out of the vehicle, lost his balance. And the officer get a sobriety test, a breathalizer test, or both. If the driver fails either test there is no explaining to do. It's cut and dried. And it will cost severely in more ways than one if the blood/alcohol content reaches .08 per cent or higher, Scanlon says. His was Since the revision of the Oregon driving laws, which deal with driving under the influence of intoxicants, there has been a slight decrease in the number of fatal accidents in the state. Among the new laws, which took effect in October of 1983 and January of 1984, one changed the allowable blood-alcohol content from .1 to .08. This and other law changes -- and increased scrutiny of drivers who drink -- may have reduced fatal accidents in Oregon. An Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles report indicates 179 fatal accidents between Jan. 1 and midnight on May 21, 1983; this year there have been 174 fatal accidents in the same period. Christi McGaugh, of the Oregon State Police Department in Eugene, reports a drop in the number of intoxicant-related arrests made by the State Police. For example, McGaugh says the Eugene-based State Police Division arrested 66 persons for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants (DUii) in the month of March, but in March of 1984 the division made only 31 arrests, a drop of 50 percent. However, she cautions this could be due to a reduction in Sheriff's patrols which has left the State Police more area to cover. A representative of the Eugene Crime Prevention Unit says the Eugene Police Department made 67 DUii arrests in March of 1983. In March, 1984, they had arrested 74 persons for similar violations, an increase of 10 percent. of thinking 'really' messed things up for me," he says.

If an officer suspects a driver has been drinking, the driver is going to of months and put him in jail for three days. "But, this time it cost me severely and it just wasn't worth the hassles." He says not only did he lose his driving priveleges for three years this time, but he was also fined $550, spent eight days in jail, and, ''my probation officer and the judge told me if I am caught anywhere near any alcoholic beverage, whether I am drinking or not, I will go back to jail for probation violation.'' Scanlon thinks they mean business this time. He says he's got too much at stake, trying to get an education from LCC, to take the chance to drink again. ''Besides, I think it must be about time someone is trying to put a stop to all the problems alcohol and driving is causing,'' he admits, and he says he doesn't like • the thought of injuring someone else, nor himself, while driving under the influence of alcohol. Riding the bus back and forth to LCC is a nuisance "But, I think the judge and my probation officer recognized that I am going to school to try and do something with my life," otherwise, the penalty might have been a lot worse. by A.J.

Clearwater's last album Bezaldeo -- locally marketed and released to much critical acclaim --was testimony that local new wave musicians can record an artistically viable work on a low budget. '' I played most of the instruments myself, •overdubbing on a Teac multitrack cassette recorder"- says Clearwater. "It's actually a long and detailed process when you're one man trying to sound like five." • Clearwater first began play- with such local new wave bands as Tender Chunkx, Punishment Farm, and the Drills. "I wrote a lot of the songs on Actual Sounds while on tonr in Alaska with a copy band called Red Tack. I . started recording when I got back in late February and finished mix downs a couple of weeks ago." • Clearwater believes Acti,al Sounds surpasses his debut cassette because the songs were more thoroughly rehearsed before they were committed to tape. "Writing the songs before and during the tour helped me concentrate more sounds a lot better than the last." Musically, Actual Sounds is more diversified than the last album. It features a wide range of influences such as dance, heavy metal, and even jazz. But, ultimately the album sticks to a new wave stylization that is distinctively Chuck Clearwater.

"The Natural" is a great movie. It's a baseball movie that will interest baseball fans as well as people that could care less about the sport. The movie 1s adapted from Bernard Malamud's Pulitzer Prize Winning first novel "The Natural." It's a story about Roy Hobbs (Robert Redford), who's a natural at baseball. As a boy he dreams of being ''the best there ever was'' and when he grows up he boards a train with his "rummy" manager and his homemade baseball bat to try out for the Chicago Cubs. Tragedy strikes and Hobbs doesn't get to play baseball until he is 34-years old when a scout signs him to play for the New York Knights, a lackluster team caught up in a spider web of corruption. He is almost laughed out of the· ball park because of his age until they finally let him hit. Throughout the entire movie, when Hobbs hits the ball he sends it out of the park and usually through a light fixture or other physical obstacles. "The Natural" has many attributes. The only things I would say about it that might be construed as criticism would be that it was almost entirely predictable and hilariously corny. There are a few surprises but we know that Hobbs is go- ing to hit one of his famous homers at the end of the game and that he's going to end up with Iris Raines (his boyhood sweetheart) because she's the woman of his destiny. But I wouldn't have had it any other way. I would have hated the movie if Hobbs had struck out in the end. There was plenty of build-up to compensate for the obvious, as well. For instance, during the Knight's last chance for the pennant game there is a close call at first in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and two strikes. We learn the outcome of the umpires call (even though we know the batter must be safe) as home plate is swept off for the next batter. There were lots of little touches like this that made this a stimulating movie even though most of the storyline was set in granite.

A vote for me is a vote for me!! While other ASLCC candidates were shaking hands and electioneering on campus last month, Robyn Braverman, a candidate (and eventual winner) in the ASLCC treasurer's race, was involved in a di//erent campaign. She was touring Eugene high schools with a slide-show presentation of her recent trip to Nicarauga. Candidates run for ASLCC cabinet positions every year. They submit applications, carry out a campaign, and keep their fingers crossed that those voters they sought-out to convince actually make it to the polling booths and pencil a mark beside their names. There's nothing so unusual about the process. But it is unusual for a candidate to win a cabinet post without all the hustling. Most of the 648 LCC students who actually got out and voted in this year's election voted-in a new treasurer who will be overseeing $71,000 in -- and they probably didn't even see her during election week. One of her opponents said Braverman ''won by proxy," won without being physically present. Because of her absence, some may say she didn't care. Though she did little oncampus campaigning she has been "campaigning" around Eugene for three full years through her personal politics. Some may say that she cares too much. • • • Caring seems to be a big rllitltilt eugene's only NATURAL FOO@S · RESJ'AURANT . open Barn • jOptn clostd tues I( • Expert Repairs • Free Appraisals • Custom Buildups • Frame Repair 454 WILLAMETTE r [ 344 *:4754 · ...

"When I came to believe the personal was political," she says, "was when I learned to take power myself and found out it wasn't wrong for me to assert myself." Bravermann sees the correlation works the other way as well: ''There will be big financial gaps for students in the next few years. This gap will be reflected by the national budget." She concludes that issues that affect students will also be affecting the nation as a whole. She says she received the winning number of votes for this position, 218, because people know who she is, they're familar with the work she has done in the community over the years. "It validates the work that I do," she says. She also feels she has received the support of women students, minorities, and progressive people on campus. "For the first time, I feel like these groups understand the need to vote and to get involved,' she says. "Not just locally, by globally as well.''
