LCC gives up $115,000
in student aid struggle

by Ellen Platt

TORCH Associate Editor

LCC accepted $115,000 less
in financial aid funding from
the government this year as a
result of a 1981 Department of
Education review of LCC student financial aid records,
reports Jack Carter, vice president for student services.
This reduction means LCC
will distribute 75 to 100 fewer
financial aid awards to applicants this year, and face a
potential continued reduction
in financial aid funding in the
future for Supplemental
Educational Opportunity
Grants, the College WorkStudy Program, and National
Direct Student Loans.
College officials say the
whole question appears to be
the result of the federal
government's hasty implementation of finanical aid programs between June and
September of 1978.
Besides the reduction in this
year's campus-based funds,
the US Department of Education has billed LCC for
$427,234 -- an amount which it
calculates it overpaid the college for the "Fair Share" and
"Conditional Guarantee"
monies LCC dispersed to eligible students during 1979,
1980, and 1981.
Although LCC has accepted a · reduction in this
year's funding because of its
reluctance to incur a liability
of that size, $115,000, Carter
says LCC has no intention of
paying the $427,234 bill sent to
them this June. "We don't intend to send them a check. .
.it's our belief that it's not a
legitimate obligation.''

the federal government has
billed LCC for the $427,234.
Retroactive Rule Change

Wad dell and Carter explain
that the government granted
Fair Share monies to LCC and
other institutions during these
years based on the needs and
incomes of all students who
applied for financial aid, in an
attempt to assist eligible but
unfunded students.
The original purpose of the
review was to check for misuse
of government funds. What
the process has revealed is the

auditor. Then, records were
purged -- the files of all financial aid recipients went into the
archives, those of unfunded
applicants were destroyed,
reports W~ddell. She adds this
process has been altered since
the 1981 review, now all
records are retained.
Because the records of all
recipients were not kept, the
Financial Aid Department has
not been able to reconstruct
the entire data base of applicants. Carter asserts, "It
doesn't make sense to penalize
students in the community for
a record keeping error.''

confusion which surrounded
the hasty implementation of

Carter says.

LCC is basing its appeal on
several points, including inadequate advance notice and
instructions of the new funding process; ambiguous
replies to questions about the
completion of applications;
and conflicting information in
the regulations regarding the
retention of records.
LCC has appealed to
Senators Hatfield and
Packwood, Congressman
Weaver, and the National
Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators
(NASFAA), a Washingtonbased lobby group, to intercede on its behalf. Carter
reports that all are supportive
of LCC's appeal.
In an Aug. 10 letter to
Senator Mark Hatfield, LCC
President Eldon Schafer
reiterated LCC's refusal to
return the $427,234 to the
Department of Education. '' ..

conscientiously to administer
the program as best we could .

this case the Department is
overzealous in its effort to administer this program.''

KLCC programming
for morning listeners
by Ann Van Camp

TORCH Staff Writer

KLCC is more than just a
local campus radio station. In
fact, according to station
manager Jon Schwartz, Arbitron ratings indicate KLCC
has about 10 percent of the
Eugene-Springfield listening
market.
Since 197 5, transmission has
grown from a mere 440 watts
(barely reaching the city limits
of Eugene) to an impressive
86,000 watts with translaters
located in Bend, Florence,
Oakridge and Cottage Grove.
Listeners' financial support as
well as several grants have
made the growth possible.
And serving more listeners has
meant making some changes
to serve more of what the
listeners want.
Schwartz says, "We have
had a steady decline of
listeners in the morning, and
an accompanying drastic
falloff in classics fundraising
during our Radiothons." He
added that research conclusions were unanimous, indicating that KLCC should
" ... concentrate on what we do
best in the region: news -strongly localized, and of
course later in the day, jazz
and our folk-oriented shows."
So, on July 2, new programming went into effect as part
of a long-term broadcasting
survival plan. The biggest
change is in the weekday morning format. AM CLASSICS,
which aired 6-10 a.m. Monday
through Friday, was cancelled
and replaced with MORNING
EDITION which airs from 5-9
a.m. MORNING EDITION is
a combination of a network
broadcast from National
Public Radio (NPR) of national news, hosted by Bob
Edwards, and local news,
presented by Marcia Kraus,
giving listeners an early indepth focus on what's happening.

On the Inside
• A listing of Student Services available to LCC
students on pages 4 and 5.
• Student Advising News
gives information on
deadlines, career talks, and
programs, on page 3.

Another major change is in
the afternoon format.
Listeners can now hear Music
Director Michael Canning and
News Director Don Hein with
JAZZ AND NEWS from
3:30-6:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday.

"We want to take a leadership role in news presentation," says Canning. "We
want to become a primary
news source for this area.''
Canning added, however, that
there is no plan to make
KLCC an all-news station.
"Jazz will stay. In fact, daily
jazz programming has increased one hour due to the
changes.''
Not everybody saw the
changes as something for the
better. According to KLCC
Office Manager Evelyn Lee,
the station received 16 letters
and 10 phone calls regarding
the changes. "People don't
write unless they're mad,"
said Lee, ''but actually we feel
like two dozen complaints
represents very little negative
response.''
Canning, also KLCC's
Operations Manager, added
''We didn't make the decision
to spite the classical listeners
or because of announcer problems. We made the change as
a positive move for the station
in the long run."
Schwartz concluded by saying, ''With another classical
station in town, we hope you
will understand our decision to
forge a new identity in the
mornings based on a strength
for which KLCC is known
around the nation: news and
public affairs."

be made before the figures are
in and the budget is redivided.
And besides, proponents continue, the measure carries an
override provision that allows
voters to tax themselves at a
higher rate if they so desire.
Let's take a look at these
points -- as I see them.
Most administrators admit
they don't know where they'd
make cuts if (heaven forbid)
they are faced with that,
stating that such predictions
are unrealistic without specific
figures with which to work.
And true, Measure Two does
contain an override provision
that would take effect if 50
percent of registered voters
turned out at the polls. These
special elections are limited to
May and November elections
at which there usually is a 50
percent voter turn-out in Lane
County.

But opponents certainly
have a realistic point when
they view such a drastic cut in
an already pared budget as
potentially
disastrous.
Remember when California
state employees received
IOU's instead of paychecks
after voters approved a similar
tax limitation measure? And
certainly most Lane County
residents have struggled with
the reduction of services at our
own county administration
building (caused by severe
budget cutbacks).

students were like in the first
years of the college. Clothing
and hair styles have changed a
lot. The men wore khakicolored pants and had
crewcuts. The women wore
skirts, sweaters and loafers. At
one point, four of the top ten
songs were by the Beatles.
Many things have changed
in the past 20 years, but just as·
many have stayed the same.
Then, as now, most LCC
students were determined to
get a good education and LCC
was just as determined to provide it. For the past 20 years,
the college has done its best to
offer high quality, up-to-date,
accessible education. As a
result, LCC has gained national recognition as an
outstanding community college.
We believe LCC's first years
have been good ones, and we
have chosen as a birthday

theme --"20 Years ... a great
beginning!" Watch for special
festivities throughout the year,.
beginning Thursday evening,
September 20, when Art instructor Tenold Peterson and
a group of former students
present the college with a
magnificent birthday gift -- a
stained glass wall for the
Center Building.
Fall is always a busy time on
campus. Most of the people
you see are students, but we
also expect some special
guests. LCC will host a national meeting of the League
for Innovation in the Community College at the end of
the month -- September 27-29.
Our guests will include community college presidents from
as far away as New Jersey and
North Carolina.
In mid-October, an accreditation team from the
Northwest Association of

Secondary and Higher Schools
will visit our campus. This
14-member team will look at
the college, its programs and
services, talk to staff and
students, and write a report
detailing their findings. The
purpose of this report is to
determine if the college is
meeting association standards
and whether to extend LCC' s
accreditation. All schools are
evaluated in this way
periodically, and this year it
happens to be LCC's turn.
Before I close, I would like
to give a special welcome to
those of you who are new to
LCC and to urge you to get acquainted with the college and
the variety of services LCC offers to students and the community. Spend some time in
the Center Building. Visit the
couseling offices, the Study
Skills Center, the library and
student health. Check out the

I am in agreement with opponents. This measure would
only make our financially
depressed state suffer to a
greater extent. We have other
choices. Oregon's economy
has only two legs -- property
taxes and income taxes, unlike
most states that make use of a
third leg on which to hobble --

sales tax. We also have no
system of taxation by choice
which is gaining increasing
popularity -- the controversial
lottery. Voters will be given
the choice of voting in a lottery system in November.
Another course of action
would be to get rid- of the
legislators that make the problem worse. Find out what the
candidates really believe in,
not what the Voter's Pamphlet
says they believe in. The
Register Guard provides exc e 11 en t,
comprehensive
coverage of issues and candidates prior to elections. It
serves as a must-read
research tool for informed or
uninformed voters.
Now that you know how to
go about preparing to make
your choices in November,
make sure you register and
vote.

The 300 delegates attending
the conference, came from all
parts of the country. They are
apparently ready to take action to increase electoral and
political involvement within
the student movement. And
there seemed to be a concensus
that for the first time since
18-year olds became eligible to
vote, students will be an important and effective voting
constituency.

Lane Community College
and the University of Oregon
were well represented at the
conference with delegates
from the student associations
as well as campus -groups. All
state schools and community
colleges in Oregon are
members of USSA, which
represents 3.5 million students
at 450 colleges nationwide.
USSA has a national office
based · in Washington, D.C.,
with a full-time staff to coordinate lobbying efforts. Over
the past year USSA loqbyists
have concentrated their efforts
to support financial aid programs and civil rights legislation.

University of Oregon Business Majors

UO Business majors who will transfer fall of 1985 or thereafter
(Plan I) should stop by the LCC Counseling Department for a new
program sheet listing recent changes in lower division math requirements.
Financial Aid

The Financial Aid Office will have evening hours at the beginning
of fall term. Hours will be 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on September 12, 18, 24
and 25.
Students must apply for admission to LCC before they are eligible
to receive financial aid.

FREE clothing to LCC students

Budgeting for tuition, textbooks and transportation
may mean back-to-school togs
are out of reach for many
students. Then again, LCC
students who can locate The
Clothing Exchange in PE 301,
will find clothing at truly affordable prices: FREE!
To locate this goldmine,
which is open from 8-5, Monday through Friday, first enter
the main lobby of the Physical
Education Building. Next,
cross the lobby, heading in the
direction of the glass enclosed
Intramural Office on the other
side. To the right of the Intramural Office is a small
hallway. The first door on the
right in this hallway is the entrance for the stairway to The
Clothing Exchange.
Linda Holly in the Campus
Ministry office says, '' All you
have to have is need.'' Any
LCC student is eligible, and
the clothing selection includes
coats, jackets, dresses, slacks,
jeans, maternity, and
children's and men's items.
Students may take up to ten
items per day with no limit on
the number of days. Currently, The Clothing Exchange is
giving out 35-40 items per day.
Donated clothing is
laundered, hung neatly on
racks, and marked with sizes.
Two dressing rooms with mirrors help assure proper fit.

Angela Stratis, one of 22
Clothing Exchange employees,
says, "I feel our quality is as
good as St. Vincent de Paul or
Goodwill." The main difference is the absence of price
tags and a cash register.

The Clothing Exchange
relies on clothing donations
for the continuation of this
service. Although students do
not need to bring items in

foreword

In four years the Great Depression would be over,
buried under a hundred thousand tons of bombs and the
gutted remains of the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, but in
the gloom of a wet and cloud-grey December of 1937 the
Depression still had Eugene on its knees.
Overseas things were not much better. United
States and Japanese forces were already snarling at each
other on the high seas and on mainland China, and in
Europe the Second World War had started. For ,even the
most optimistic, January 1938 was shaping up as a
repeat of January 1937. It would not be a happy new year.
The new year would be even worse for the 2,500
unemployed young people who lived in the city. Unlike
their country cousins who could always find something to
do on the farm, the city kids had been all but demoralized
by a childhood of depression.
Adults 23 and 24 years old were still called boys
and girls by their parents because of a simple fact of
life: they were out of work, had always been out of work,
and weren't likely to find work. The Work Ethic still hung
low over Eugene, depression or not.
They lolled around Seymour's at Tenth and
Willamette or up at the bowling alley across the street.
When they could find them they did odd Jobs-splitting
wood, running errands and the like. A few joined some of
the federal programs and ended up building roads in the
Cascades, dams on the Columbia and football stadium.s
in Roseburg.
Public education, strapped with problems of its
owri (like how to pay its bills), provided little help. Forced
by the double whammy of circumstance and tradition,
public education was reluctant, or unable, or both, to go
beyond the Three R's info specialized training.
Vocational education, or manual training as it was
called in those days·, was kept at a minimum and in some
places ignored all together. Meanwhile, steady jobs required training.
'
No one knew that better than the unemployed
youth of Eugene. What they needed was jobs, and what
they needed to get the jobs was the training. And yet the
training was not at "hand.
No wonder Eugene's young people felt impotent.
They were children of an impotent age.

Of course some efforts had been made by the
federal government, all on a grand '-'Cale with typical
Rooseveltian flair. The New Deal had spawned dozens of
alphabet programs like the CCC, the WPA and the NY A. It
may have been government by bailing wire and chewing
gum, but in many ways it worked.
And here and there throughoutJhe country we'fe
private and industry-supported "trade schools". But in
most cases it was as difficult for a Eugene student to get
into the Samuel Gompers Vocational School in San Fran•cisco as it was for him to get into Harvard.
So as 1937 wound down, Eugene's young people
continued to sit on their hands in front of the family radio
and, in a delightful bit of American logic, made a ventriloquist act they could not even ~see the most popular
radio program of the era.
At least Edgar Bergan and Charlie McCarthy were
working.
Working also was the state's young director of
vocational education. In his office in Salem, 60 miles to the
north, 0.0. Adams huddled with Eugene school
superintendent J.F. Cramer to iron out the final details of a
unique project that would turn education around in the
southern end of ,the Willamette Valley.
The leg work for the project had. started in the fall
of 1937 when seven state vocational education officials
quietly circulated a-lengthy questionnaire among the city's
employers, service and fraternal organizations and trade
unions. The questionnaire asked many questions but essentially it only asked one: what kind of training is needed
to make the unskilled and unemployed y·outh of Eugene
skilled and employed?
In a sense, the two men-along with a handful of
other civic leaders in Eugene-were inventing the wheel.
The spokes of that wheel eventually reached out ,across
Oregon, the northwest, and finally, the world.
It was a question that had been asked many times
before in many towns across the country. But often in
anguish and frustration and seldom with a motive.
Nowhere had it been answered.
In Eugene, it was answered. By late December the

any years, were interested in
ood product-railroad ties.

Art Clough, now 83, remembers what it was like.
"By the time I got to Eugene, logging had been going on
around here for years and years, but mostly b.y a lot of
small family outfits.
"They cut the easy trees on the contour of the
land, let ·the other ones go and then turned around and
reseeded right away. In those days, all the hills around
here looked like virgin timber.
"They did it that way because there wasn't any
other way to do it. But in Washington (Clough and his
family moved to a village near Bellingham in 1903), it was
a different story. Big companies from the East moved in
because it was cheaper-all the deep water ports-and
started cutting down all the trees.
"I remember standing on a hill looking down into
the harbor at Bellingham and watching clipper ships load
the lumber, mostly flooring for Australia, and then riding
out into the country with my family and not seeing any
trees. They'd cut them all down."
So, Oregon was ripe for technology. Rail lines
were built into the woods. Freight rates became competitive. Fine deep water harbors at Coos Bay and
Portland were developed. Logging and sawmill equipment became more sophisticated and thousands of men
flocked to the woods and to the mills to feed the nation's
lust for homes for its middle class.
At the bottom of the Willamette Valley, Eugene
was showing signs of becoming a bustling little city. In
many ways, it had all the trappings: breweries, street
cars, large department stores, a public market,
automobiles, a couple of radio stations, and several
schools. In 1924 two new junior high schools were built,
Roosevelt at 18th Ave. and Agate St. and Wilson at 12th
Ave. and Madison.
And one of the city's most successful saloons,
Luckey's Club Cigar Store, continued doing land office
business.
The New York Stock Exchange should have been
so lucky. As the country rolled into 1929, economists
began fretting over danger clouds they saw on the
horizon. Unchecked speculation was hurting the economy
and many economists were predicting disaster if it wasn't
stopped. Meanwhile, millions of Americans-many of
them who didn't know a bear from a bull.:_continued to
pump billions of dollars into the market. Some spent their
life savings; others borrowed and spent money they didn't
have.
Then, in October 1929, it all went down the drain.
In the most cataclysmic day in the Market's history-a day
called Black Tuesday-the euphoria and good times of
the Twenties beca.me a heap of scrap paper on the floor of
the New York Stock Exqhange. The party was over.
Almost. Bea Chapman of Eugene, whose husband
worked for Southern Pacific most of his life, said it took
awhile for the hard times to reach Oregon but when they
did, they were devastating.
"Right away it didn't matter much," she said,
"because it hit the East first. They were the worst off. It
took most of a year before we felt it here ... then there
wasjl't any work, no jobs.
"All the men was laid off and I can remember how
they all used to hunt and. fish to feed their families. There
wasn't anything else for them to do."
The cities were the hardest hit. Tent-city "Hoovervilles" sprung up in most of the nation's bigger towns. The
Hobo became a familiar figure wherever the trains rolled,
and in Eugene, the economy ground nearly to a halt. Jobs
and salaries were cut. In 1929 the school superintendent
was paid $5,000 a year. Seven years i'ater the salary had
dropped to $4,500.
The educational system, like everything else, had
been caught with its pants down. It had not kept up with
the technological boom anyway, preferring to stick with
the traditional Three R's and maintaining an almost
across-the-board distaste for manuat training.
Life never had been easy for proponents of
manual training. Traditional educators recoiled in horror
at the mere prospect of it.
"You spend money on manual training and you
take money away from education" they used to say.
That back-of-the-bus attitude reached from the
ldwest to the highest levels of public instruction, leading to
separate governing boards and directors and separate
budgets. In the Twenties, when grass-roots public
vocational training could have been a very hot item, training workers to cope with the giant advances being made
in technology, it was all but flatly ignored. The entire
manual training . budget for School District #4 in 1929
topped out at $2,000, but less than half that amount was
spent. A year later it was cut in half.

Vocational education, however, did have its supporters. To the north, Washington had somehow hired a
state school superintendent who felt career training was
as important as the Three R's and proved it by building
shops in most of the state's high schools and even a few
junior highs. In no time, Washington was 20 years ahead
of the rest of the nation in vocational education and likely
would have stayed there except for a major revolt by the
state's tEtachers. The superintendent was supsequently
sacked and the shops were torn down as fast as they had
been put up and Washington ended its brief love affair
with vocational education
And only a few hours away in Salem, there was a
vocational education zealot named O.D. Adams. Adams
(a Bellingham transplant who grew up with Art Clough in a
backwoods hamlet in the heart of lumber country) was the
young director of the State Board for Vocational Education.
"Our town was so small it only had one school,"
said Clough. "0.0. and I were about junior high school
age then ... in a year or so we were supposed to transfer to
the high school in Bellingham.
"Our teacher we had made a deal with the principal in Bellingham to teach junior high subjects that were
transferrable. But the first thing he did was build us a
shop-something that was practically unheard of in those
days."
In fact it was so unheard of that when the principal

"But it didn't matter much anyway. O.D . and I had
both decided that manual training-right along with your
regular classes-would be the future of education.
"We would sit and talk for hours about it. We both

somewhere where· we could build shops to show people
that learning how to work with your hands wasn't disgraceful, that you could do just about anything with

school fantasy come true.
In the meantime, Eugene tightened its belt.
Businesses operating on marginal profits soon didn't have
even those, and closed down. Mills went on split shifts.
Major employers cut back on their experienced help with
the effect that an entire labor force-Eugene's young
people-never actually grew up. Because they had never
held a job, men and women old enough to vote were still
called boys and girls .. And the frustration that caused
made the hard times of the Thirties even more difficult.
But difficulties were everywhere. By 1932, the
- Depression had a firm hold on the entire valley and show, ed no signs of letting up. Reluctantly, the school .board
closed two of its schools-Geary and Patterson-to save
money and pared its operating budget to the bone. In
1934 manual training only received $600 to be divided
between Eugene High School and Wilson and Roosevelt
Junior High Schools.
The Board noted the passing of Geary School,
which was to play a major part in the eventual Great Experiment in Eugene, the Eugene Vocational School.

We're the best college soccer team in the area'
by Darren Foss
TORCH Sports Writer

''If anyone in Lane County
is interested in soccer they
should come out and see our
team. We're the best college
soccer team in the area,'' says
LCC Men's Soccer Coach
Dave Poggi.
Poggi is obviously pleased
with the quality of his returning players and the promise of
the new recruits. They will
begin play in Vancouver, B.C.
Sept. 14.

The Titan 2-10-4 record last
year. was misleading, Poggi
says. "Six of our losses were
1-0 games, and we tied the best
teams in the league.''
And he points out the
Titans' defense, one of the
strongest last year in the Northwest Athletic Association of
Community College League,
gave up only 29 goals in 16
NAACCA games.
Returning Strength

Although the Titans lost a

lot of players to graduation, a
nucleus of returning players
will keep Lane's defense
strong. Gary Mccann, who
was selected as an all-league
player last year, returns, as do
two other key defenders, Martin Houthers and Carlos
Rodriques. Greg Harless is
also back for a third year,
after breaking his leg in last
year's first contest. In his first
season with LCC, Harless was
the team's Most Valuable
Player, playing at the defender
position.

Last year, LCC's first at
recruiting, Poggi went all out
to bring a strong crop of offensive players to the LCC
fields. They include Gunnar
Reinarson, a forward from
Lake Stevens, Washington,
who was selected for the U-16
Icelandic National Team; forward Frank Hoffard, a
graduate of Central Catholic
High in Portland, who was
selected for Second Team Allstate; and Eric Laasko, Second Team All Stater from
Aloha High of Portland.
Pat Bodine of Columbia
High, and David Peterson of
South Eugene, will come as
midfielders; both were selected
for First Team All State last
year. Brian Burns, from
Portland's Park Rose High,
was a First Team All State
goalie. Charles McCarthy was
recruited from Western High

in Las Vegas, where he was a
Second Team All State goalie.

year as assistant coach.

''We built a strong nucleus
last year and want to increase
that this year with these new
recruits," says Poggi. "We
also have some skilled walkons coming to the team that
could be helpful.''

Georgyfalvy Day

"'""

Individual Performance

Poggi believes athletic performance is 80 per cent mental
and only 20 per cent physical,
so he doesn't believe in setting
goals for the team. Rather, he
says he will "develop individual goals and spend a
good deal of time creating
team tactics and character.''
He adds: "I'm glad the program has grown as much as it
has. We're fortunate to be
competing in such a strong
league that's always getting
better. If we can get the commitment and dedication of the
talent we have, we should have
a good season."
Bosanko, New Assistant

Another reason for his optimism is the addition of Paul
Bosanko as assistant coach. "I
feel real fortunate to get him,"
he says, explaining that LCC
has been without an assistant
for a long time. Bosanko's
soccer coaching experience includes high school level
coaching in Minnesota, and at
the University of Oregon last

The top stories of this year

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.

Gorham

appointed

as Center
head

The study was prompted
Fall Term when Denali Editor
Patricia MacDonald resigned
her position. Noting that
editor arid staff resignations
were common over the years,
remaining staff members asked the commiss·ion 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 creatiye and
imaginative writing -- and a
£ reduced emphasis on the
~ graphic and fine arts.
M.C. Director Kent Gorham f

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 tries 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 coordfnator 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.

Denali
revamps

Denali will continue to be
published next year -- but with
a different format and emphasis.
•

.• D~nali will be _published
five times a year -- mstead 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."

-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 without 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
Steve Barton, KLCC's chief
engineer, added a third production room to augment ·
KLCC's existing facilities.
Barton constructed the room
out of equiptment that KLCC
already had in its coffers
which he rebuilt and/ or refurbished. Although Barton
describes the room as
"probably the least capable"
of the three, it will alleviate
problems that occured due to
lack of production space.
KLCC is also plugging away
at its aging transmitter fund.
Just over $40,000 has been
raised so far with $53,000
necessarv.
The 23-year old transmitter
has failed on numerous occasions, sometimes forcing
KLCC off the air. Barton says
excessive labor costs and difficulty in obtaining parts make
the existing transmitter no
longer repairable.
Barton plans to install the
new transmitter in the fall of
1984, which is when KLCC expects to receive the go-ahead
from the Federal Communications Commission to install
the transmitter and boost
power from the existing 30,000
watts to a projected 87,000
watts.
Funds have been garnered
from a variety of sources.
During the Fall 1983 arid Spring 1984 Radiothons $5,000
was earmarked each time, the
Oregon Arts Commission
granted $3,000, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
granted $20,000 and the Burlington Northern Foundation
recently granted $7,500.

Greta Goldenman, director
of the "Exploding the Hunger
Myth" program at the San
Francisco-based Institute for
Food and Development
Policy, told the LCC audience
that scarcity of food is not the
cause of world hunger. She
pointed out that the world
produces enough grain to feed
each person 3,000 calories a
day yet "more than one out of
every four children, women
and men on this earth suffer
malnutrition.''
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.

New

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).

business assistance grant.

Business_ continued from page 10

• 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!' "

This money was a suppiement 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.

Unfortunately, Ashwill 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. •

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.

• Ashwill 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.

z

• 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.

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.

Some examples of the
response of the student body
and the college to the barriers
were:

e.

• Ashwill 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
become slick causing, persons
using cruthes to fall.
• Yet another project for the
DSS team is revision of the
student darkrooms on campus, so wheelchair students
can participate in photography
classes without the current
manuverability and height
problems.

9.

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 are 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.

Olympic
Scientific
Congress
Preparations for the 1984
Olympic Scientific Congress
(OSC), to be held in Eugene
July 19-26, are well under
way, according to Organizational 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.

Smokers v.
clean air

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.

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 -most 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 Biock, 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.
¾' Participants will exchange inz formation at these seminars,
j and apply the knowledge when
~ they return home.

Mari Reed, architectural
drafter for the college, says all
of the ''No Smoking'' signs
are up on the main campus,
and a few remain to be posted
at the Downtown Center.
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 situation is to ''confront people
directly, be affirmative about
their rights.''
"Hopefully it will get better
as we get conditioned to the
new law," she adds.

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.
The Congress desperately
needs volunteers -- particularly
those who speak a second
language -- to help in many
areas. "A volunteer is given
free admission to the afternoon ceremonies and
seminars," he points out.
''The week long cost of such
benefits would be $190."

Stevens at the University of
Oregon, 686-4114.

Gas
drilling

Dollars -- in the form of
natural gas -- may lie beneath
the asphalt of the northeast
parking lot, but LCC isn't
likely to find out soon.
Last July Leavitt's Exploration and Drilling, Inc. asked
the Board of Education to
negotiate a gas and mineral ~xploration/drilling lease.
College officials worked
with the State Geologist and
the State Mineral Leasing
Department to define the
terms of the lease agreement.
LCC attorneys also worked on bid specifications and bonding
requirements ''to protect the
institution" if a lease was arranged, says Vice President of
Financial Services Bill Berry.
But once the college called
for bids on the proposed gas
drilling lease it found no
takers. "So where we are now
is nowhere -- it's a dead
issue,'' comments Berry.

Islands of Memory, a 20 by
25 foot stained glass mural
which will grace the east entrance of the LCC Center
Building, will be presented to
the school the evening of
Thursday, Sept. 20, at 7 p.m.,
amidst champagne and dedications.
Conceived by LCC art instructor Tenold Peterson and
a group of LCC students studying stained glass art, the
mural has taken 18 months to
move from the drawing board
to the Center Building, said
Sam Moorehouse, one of 12
students who began the project in July of 1983. Beginning
as a series of six 10 by 10 foot
drawings, the mural consumed
some 10,000 hours of labor
and $4,000 in materials.
Last fall the student group
decided to donate the window
to the college, partly because
of its affiliation with the
school and partly because the
Center Building was large
enough to accomodate the
mural. Moorehouse says LCC
also provided a free, secure
work space, a place to exhibit
the project, and the use of
equipment during the construction process.
Funds for the mural were
raised by the sale of stained
glass medallions, and by donations from private groups, the

public, the LCC Development
Fund, and the ASLCC government -- totalling $4,500. The
artists donated their time,
meeting to work Saturdays
and Sundays for up to 10
hours a day throughout the
past year.
Peterson, an experienced
professional artist in stained
glass, recently completed his
own large mural after five
years- of work, so he
understands the time, effort
and artistry required for large
scale projects. He said the
LCC project "was a real experiment, doing it as a group
project."
He elaborat~s "it goes so
fast. . .to be able to make
changes in minutes instead of
days ... with seven people (the
number of artists who completed the project) you can
watch it grow.''
LCC has insured the artwork for $40,000, although
Peterson says that, if the artists had charged for their
time, the mural would be
worth some $85,000.
Further tax-deductible
donations can be made
through the LCC Foundation
(formerly the LCC Development Fund), or at the presentation ceremony on the evening of Sept. 20. For more info rma ti on, contact Pat
Williams at the LCC Foundation, 747-4501, extension

2810.
