Pres. Schafer announces retirement

by Jackie Barry

TORCH Editor

Pres. Eldon Schafer will
retire next July, 1985, after 15
years at LCC ..
He announced his plans at
the all-staff meeting -- and at a
press conference -- on Sept.
19. Saying it was not an easy
decision, Schafer expressed a
desire to pursue activities of a
"less strenuous, pressurepacked nature.''
He said his six-year battle
with multiple myeloma (cancer
of the bone marrow) is "only
tangentially'' related to his
decision to retire.
The president explained he
and his wife, Eugene attorney
Lucy Schafer, decided 20 years

ago that when their son, Ken,
graduated from college it
would be an opportune time to
retire. Ken Schafer, who attended LCC for two years, will
graduate from the U of O this
year with a degree in business
and marketing.
Dr. Schafer is a native
Oregonian and after serving in
World War II, spent 20 years
as a teacher and administrator
in California. In 1967 he
became the founding president
of Linn-Benton Community
College and then in 1970
became president of Lane.
In addition to being listed in
"Who's Who in America,"
Schafer has been honored with
numerous awards and appointments throughout his

Enrollment loss
may exceed 11%
by Ellen Platt

TORCH Associate Editor

LCC's enrollment has
declined about 11.5 percent
since last fall, says Vice President Jack Carter.
The drop means some 370
fewer students, (or the
equivilent of about 138 full
time students -- FTE), have
enrolled in credit courses this
term, reports Robert Marshall, director of admissions.
He adds that over the summer
LCC received 350 fewer applications for admission than
last summer, another figure
indicative of the decline.
Departments with a loss of
10 FTE or more were:
Business, Mathematics,
Science, Health and PE,
Social Science, Data Processing, and Home Economics.
Admissions Office figures also
showed several departments
with increased enrollment.
Language Arts showed a IO
percent increase, while Mass
Communications, Performing
Arts, and Art and Applied
Design all experienced slight
rises in enrollment. On the
whole, however, the general
trend was a reduction in
enrollment.
Marshall commented, ''it
would appear to me that there
is a drop in the lower division
collegiate area, as well as vocational programs."
Business Department Head
Jack Kreitz listed
factors
which affect business student
enrollment -- local economic
downturn accounts for
several. Among them are: A

reduction in the number of
businesses sending their personnel to LCC to upgrade
their skills; and expanded
course offerings at the University of Oregon's Business
School.
Carter notes other community colleges in the
Willamette Valley are also ex-

tenure at LCC including the
Marie Y. Martin Professional
Educator Award in 1981
(considered the highest award
available to a community college administrator), and the
1982 U of O Pioneer Award
for community leadership.
Schafer has also been invited
to the People's Republic of
China for a second time as an
advisor to the government in
the establishment of a network
of polytechnic schools. He
leaves this Sunday.
Schafer is also noted for
"getting the word out to the
community'' about LCC, according to LCC Board
Member Mary Unruh. His
meetings with local business
people often result in gifts of
money or services to help the
college.
Schafer told staff members
and reporters he has no
definite plans for retirement
but mentioned his trip to
Cl}ina, adding "maybe that
will continue on." He also
said he will continue some of
his committee work as well as
doing more "fishing, golfing
and relaxing."
Schafer won't slow down
during his 15th year. "I don't
like the thought of being a
lame duck. I plan to operate
business as usual. I think the
staff will cooperate.''

Two sides to Measure 2
Educators, Tax Union leaders see 'facts' differently

by

Jackie Barry

T~RCH Editor

Is there any issue on the
November 1984 ballot that's
hotter than the MondaleReagan race? In Oregon it
might very well be Ballot
Measure 2.
Ballot Measure 2 would
amend the Oregon State Constitution, limiting real property taxes to $15 for every $1,000
of assessed value or the
amount levied for fiscal year
1983-1984 (based on 1981
values), whichever is less.
Some Oregon property
owners (60 percent of whom
are businesses) are looking
forward to the possibility of a
30 to 40 percent cut in their tax
bill should the measure pass.
Measure 2 supporters point to
a U. S. Dept. of Commerce
statistic which states that
Oregonians are eighth highest
in the nation for state and

local expenditures paid out of
personal income.
But Mike Rose, an LCC
language arts instructor as well
as LCC's representative in the
Oregon Committee, (a coalition of educators working to
defeat Ballot Measure 2)
reports that Californians still
pay more per capita tax
because they pay sales tax.
Bill Berry, LCC's dean of
administrative services refers
to Measure 2 as "a frightening
kind of thing to look down the
gun barrel at.'' He said his
"best guess" when estimating
the financial implications to
LCC would be the lay-off of
20 percent of the full-time
staff and a five million dollar
loss of funds (about 20 percent
of LCC's total budget). This
figure includes a four million
dollar property tax loss, just

His Holiness versus LCC Bookstore
Few call me your holiness,
but I am in reality the Pope of
The Church of Life The
Universe and Everything.
There was a vacuum in my
life, or perhaps I just wanted
to be an infallible leader.
Whatever the reason, I took
control and made myself
Pope. The science fiction
trilogy "The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy'' is my bible, and "Don't Panic" the
words for everyday living.

Overview by Allan Smolker

TORCH Staff Writer

Don't Panic! As Emperorof-the-Ad-Hoc-Committee ofOne-to-Make-Safe-the-KillerGrates, I hounded the city of
Cottage Grove until they bar-

red up all the drains that were
eating bicycle wheels and endangering people. I didn't tell
the city I was Emperor, but I
did stand up and take control.
And some said that I beat city
hall.
Last year I didn't panic, but
I did get damn mad and told
the folks at the LCC
Bookstore I wasn't going to
take it. Because I wear a
shoulder bag -- which is my
purse -- I was sniggered at, insulted, and threatened with the
police. Even if I had had a
backpack I would have objected to being treated as a
potential thief. The Bookstore

doesn't allow backpacks in the
store. However, women are
allowed to bring purses into
the store, and I was carrying a
purse. And so I was
discriminated against. I asked
for equal treatment, and instead I was insulted and
treated like a child.
I went to the LCC Administration. The result was a
call from the manager of the
LCC Bookstore. She apologized for the way I had been
treated, but said the policy
would not change. Without
change, the apology was
pointless.
There is a point -- and that
point is control. Either we

control our lives or the
anonymous "they" control
us. We have to stand up and
say "I'm damn mad, and I
won't take it anymore."
I don't shop at the
bookstore anymore. And I
hope that if you aren't
satisified with the LCC
Bookstore you won't shop
there anymore either. Who
knows, we might even get
ourselves a co-op bookstore
with member discounts.
But as Pope of The Church
of Life The Universe and
Everything, until there is
change, the LCC bookstore
can ... kiss my ring!

FORUM= Don't let your batteries run low
FORUM ht Robert Nordahl
God desires to be the best friend you
ever have. But like with any friend,
you've got to be willing to open up to
Him and seek what He wants of you,
not just what you might want from
Him.
God and I have been friends for ten
years. This may sound weird, or
sacrilegious, but it lines up with what
the Bible says is God's desire -- in I
John I :3 for starters. I've come to
regard this book with great confidence
as an integral treatise for living and
for historical facts, the more I've
come to know it.
Everyone has potential for faith,
which can be increased with getting to
"know" God. In fact, those who may
scoff at the Bible's claims are pursuing
a negative sort of faith; they're placing
their "bets" for the time on things being different than what the Word
declares as the state of man's relationship with God and what God has done
about it. I know that most of those
who taunt the Bible or christianity ,

being prejudiced and biased, know the
least about it. The "hypocrites" so
often branded amongst christians may
be there among the mere professers -because, thank God, He doesn't program you like a robot once you go to
Him. Every cause or movement has its
hypocrites, but that doesn't measure ·
the movement.

Jesus Christ is the focus of the Bible
throughout, as its marvelously consistent theme though compiled piece-bypiece over many centuries. In the Old
Testament He is the promised
Messiah, the need for Him shown and
His trademarks abundantly prophesied (like the kind of tomb He'd be
buried in before His resurrection -- not
your everyday general and fallible
"predictions"). In Jesus the Living
Personal God is revealed -- far better
than any impersonal force or any unprincipled indiscriminate benevolent
invented by man. Being personal, God
prevented the Bible authors from
speaking of Him as an "it", and apparently sees being presented in the
masculine gender as more fitting --

though women are treated in the Bible
far more equally and respectfully
than other "religions."

In the Bible God unfolds our accountability to Him as the Creator of
our life, but Who gives us free will to
choose our course, in relation to Him
and His will. Our universal estrangement from Him on our account is explained, followed by tracing of the
futility of man trying to be reconciled
on his own efforts. Then God reveals
what He's done to bring us into right
standing with Himself. It is not any
man's dreaming up, starkly contrary
to all the million-and-one other
(men's) ideas of religion . A christian,
on right terms with one's Maker,
doesn't mean perfection, but a relationship restored where God's judgement for our wrongs or failings has,
from His love, been applied to His
Son. Jesus went to execution in our
place. If you commit yourself to a personal trust in Jesus to be your Savior
before God, and Lord over your life,
God will acquit you. The relationship

is secure before the needed "changes"
come, and come they will if the relationship is real. However motivated
not out of fear to measure up but out
of gratitude, with the potential but patient power of God's own Holy Spirit
present.
Against all this stands predominant
in our day the man-made idol of
himself. The warp is subtle. We
should have confidence in ourselves
and our potential, but this approaches
its ideal only when we are in submission to our Creator as our Guide. We
see everyday in ourselves and the
world around us our potential for evil,
selfishness, strife, confusion. When
man leaves his Maker and rightful
Lord out of the picture while glorifying his potential on his own, he
becomes like the flashlight that has no
owner to replace its batteries. It will go
for awhile, but is destined to burn out.
God is not just for the bye-and-bye;
He wants the ideal world too, but in
His wisdom has chosen for now to not
force His will and way, to let each individual choose His way or not. Peo-

FDR, Reagan
aid the Giant
Soviet Empire
To the Editor:
Russia was our declared
enemy in 1940 just as it is today. Russia has four times the
people, and more than sixty
time the land that Germany
possesses. When President
Franklin D. Roosevelt and the
Democrats joined with
England and Russia to defeat
Germany, he laid the ground
for the Giant Soviet Empire
we have for an opponent today. Near the war's end,

F.D.R. gave the Victory and a
big slice of Europe to the
Soviets. Now it costs us well
over a hundred billions a year
to protect Europe and all its
people and industry from the
enemy F.D.R. created ... To
top it off, President Reagan is
driving hundreds of millions

of Moslems into Russia's arms
in order to get the media and
financial support of American
jews. Some statesmen, aren't
they?

Federal
Government
cracks down
on electives
Dear TORCH Reader:
As a teacher on this campus,
I'm concerned that the
students at LCC are being ripped off by Federal Financial
Aid Guidelines.
The community college is
the first place most persons
have a valid chance to explore
a wide variety of professional

futures ranging from art to
. forestry, from machine shop
to music, and from English to
computer programming.
Going back a ways in your
life, grade school students are
told what they can learn; this
is also true of middle schools
and junior high schools. Some
high schools allow token electives. Many all-knowing selfrighteous persons want to halt
the nasty practice of people
learning too much.
Despite the logic of using
some community college
classes to explore your hope
for the future, the federal
government wants to crack
down on people taking electives. We even aid and abet
federal authority. Someone on
campus once told one of my
students, "I hope these art
supplies you're getting are for
your major and not just an
elective!" Nonsense! Many
support person's jobs exist
because students are smart
enough to want to learn, not
follow a narrow curriculum,
thus they take electives! They
came here to get educated --

not to please politicians and
political extremists!
Students, for your own
good, consider this:
1. Take 12 credits, as required,
in your major, then audit
classes you really want to take,
in music, art, P.E., or
machine shop, or whatever!
2. Temporarily major in the
department you want to use
for electives, then switch!
3. Invite federal agents, and
anyone else who tries to advise
you not 'to take electives to go
for a swim in the cute little
ponds at the edge of campus!
4. Come up with ways of your
own to evade, subvert, or
abolish stupid federal regulations. And share your ideas!.
This letter is mine, alone. If
anyone dislikes it, they should
contact me, not the art department!
Sincerely,
Rosco Wright, Instructor
Art and Applied Design
Department

pie problems, whether between nations or individuals, boil down to the
character of those involved, regardless
of the system they function under.

God's way is to offer to transform
persons, from the inside out, one step
at a time, into all the qualities we
epitomize but seldom attain in society.
If you really seek to be friends with
God, He will help you find out how
and show you if what I have described
is indeed His way, and what isn't.
Regardless of what this world's future
brings, I have one friend who I know
will never leave me nor let me down,
who will always love me individually
with a perfect love that challenges
your checking out. I know it from the
Bible and from my experience with
God daily. And I know where I'm
destined, thankfully.

LCC receives

national award

A procedure that enables
Lane Community College to
save more than $100,000 a
year by streamlining its small
purchase system has won the
college a national award.
LCC Vice President William
Berry accepted the award on
July 9 in Chicago. The award
is part of a program designed
to recognize colleges which
develop
money-saving
methods that can be adopted
at other institutions.
LCC received $7,500 in the
ninth annual Cost Reduction
Incentive Awards Program,
which is sponsored jointly by
the National Association of
College and University
Business Officers and the
United States Steel Foundation, Inc. Three instiutions
shared this year's top honors,
and received cash awards of
$7,500 each: LCC, Linfield
College in McMinnville, and
Indiana University-Purdue
University in Indianapolis.
Lane won the 1984 award
for developing a procedure
which allows selected campus
administrators to use VISA
cards, rather than a cumber-

some purchase order process,
to purchase inexpensive
materials and supplies.
The plan was proposed by a
team of LCC employees studying the college's purchase
order system. They discovered
that a typical purchase order
cost the college about $75 in
labor and supplies, while the
bulk of the orders -- 62 percent
-- were for relatively small purchases of materials and supplies, amounting to $100 or
less.
VISA cards were issued to
department managers, thus
reducing the time and number
of steps involved in transactions. Administrators estimate
the college saved $59,000 in
1983 -~ the first year the
procedure was in effect -- and
will save $118,500 in 1984.
LCC has received similar
awards in the national program on two other occasions.
In 1977, Lane won the cost
reduction incentive award for
its efforts to obtain federal excess property at greatly reduced costs. In 1978, the college's
energy management program
was recognized for drastic cuts
in college energy use.

Budget cuts projected by
college administrators before
the election were: reductions
in part-time personnel of
$125,000, elimination of program improvements totalling
$118,403, reductions in capital
outlay of $50,000 and a reduction of $50,000 in the college
contingency fund. Also, seven
full-time positions vacated by
retirement or resignation will
not be refilled in an effort to

balance the budget.
The fact that enrollment is
about 12 percent lower than
last year will affect this situation, as well, but specifics
won't be available for at least
a week.
LCC will still ask voters for
a new tax base in the
November 6, 1984 election.
The existing base is
$11,232,292 and LCC is asking for an additional five percent which would bring the
district
tax
base
to
$12,479,163.

Career Information Center offers student service

by R. Wm. Gray

TORCH Staff Writer

Editor's note: Throughout the year,
the Torch will examine a variety of
careers and occupations in Oregon,
and the LCC educational programs
which offer training in those fields.
This is the first of the series.

'' Am I suited to my chosen
career/ occupation . . . Is my
career/ occupation suited to
me . . . Is there advancement
potential, and future job
security?''
These are only a few of the
questions that a new student
may ask prior to designing an
educational program in
preparation for what could be
a lifelong career.
Enrolling as one of 20,000

students can be an anxietyproducing experience. Not
knowing what you want from
your education can be even
more devastating.
All too often, trial and error
is the method used to answer
these questions -- a method
that can be time consuming
and unproductive. There is an
alternative available to LCC
students and the community,
it is the Career Information
Center (CIC), and is located in
Room 203 of the Center
Building on the LCC main
campus.
The CIC is headed by Jean
Conklin, a career information
specialist, and a staff of Student Service Associates. The
CIC's goal is to assist students

in making logical and informed decisions about their potential employment interests -which includes providing current occupational and educational information, helping individuals use available
resources to achieve their
goals, and promoting
thoughtful career planning
and decision making.

Among the services and
resources available are:
• Career Files -- an index of
career and occupation information;
• Free materials on resume
writing, interviewing, and
LCC programs;
• Vocational biographies

LCC receives it's gift,
lsland·s of Mem ory
Champagne corks popped and compliments
flowed as the stained glass mural Islands of
Memory was unveiled last Thursday evening. LCC
President Schafer accepted the mural, praised the
efforts of the artists, and called it a fitting gift for
the college on its twentieth anniversary.
The installation of the mural's panels took two
days of patient and painstaking effort -- the final
step in completing of the year-long project. Art
Instructor Tenold Peterson and six stained glass
artists -- Linda Alford, Teresa Kolibaba, Leighton
Makanui, Sam Moorehouse, Nancy Parson, and
Pam Stout -- donated 10,000 hours of their lives to
the construction of the mural.
Using glass with a variety of textures, colors,
patterns, and surfaces, the artists used solid black
and opaque white glass to enhance the
transparent, colored sections, the selection of
glass with textured and iridized surfaces gives the
two sides of the mural very different qualities.
Erick Lovell -- president of Uroboros Glass
Studios, one of two manufacturers supplying glass
for the project -- commented ''as a group they used glass to make a strong visual statement."

This is the second in a series of excerpts from a history of the Eugene Vocational School, one of LCC's predecessors. Published by David Butler of the LCC
College and Community Relations Office and reprinted by permission. Copyright, 1976, by Lane Community College.

The Board noted the passing of Geary School.
which was to play a major part in the eventual Great Ex periment in Eugene, the Eugene Vocational School.

"The Geary Building .. .is located at Fourth Avenue
and Madison Street and is being retained in condition for
immediate reoccupation, if circumstances should make
that necessary.
"It is in a high population area and was closed
only as an emergency measure to reduce costs during the
Depression days. Both Patterson and Geary schools are
structurally sound and remarkably well-preserved."

The original Geary School at Fourth and Madison was a victim of the
Depression, was abandoned because it was too costly to keep open, then
was finally re-opened in 1938 as home for the vocational school. This
photo was taken about 1900.

Both schools were venerable reminders of times
past in Eugene. Geary was built in 1899, only 34 years
after District #4 was organized, and was followed in 1901
by Patterson.
In 1936-the year of a major measles epidemic in
Eugene-Patterson School was demolished by the
Sullivan Wrecking Company which was paid $180 to haul
it away.
It was also in 1936 that student enrollment in
Eugene's six elementary schools, two junior highs and two
high schools (Eugene High School and the experimental
University High School) hit 4,000.
Until 1936, Eugene High School had kept its indu stria I arts program at the usual-almost
negligible-low profile. But during that year, the Board of
Education approved a request (after intensive lobbying by
high school officials) for a modest metalworking course to
be added to the existing woodworking program at the
school.
With a small state grant, the high school bought
and installed a metal lathe in a new frame building adjacent to the school and for the first time ever, offered
courses in cold metal, general home repairs, shaping,
welding, and tool making. As a final class project,
students were -allowed to work with ornamental iron which
was all the rage then in Eugene homes.
It wasn't exactly vocational education at its best,
but it was a start.
Vocational education at its best, of course, was an
impossible dream. There were few, if any, models to
follow. The industry or union-affiliated vocational schools
were rich, well-equipped and thorough. They were also a
hundred light years away from anything a struggling local
school district could afford.
A few Eugeneans lusted after a full vocational
program for the city but ended up looking like children lined up outside a candy store, their noses pressed to the
window. Men like Mahlon Sweet, Gilbert Maclaren (the
school .board chairman), Register-Guard publisher
William Tugman, and others had become more and more
aware that vocational education was vital to the economy.
If it had done nothing else, the Depression had
taught many Americans that technology and the jobs it
often seems to create does not take care of itself. Like a
hungry animal, it needs to be fed .
In dozens of bull sessions during those middleDepression years, Sweet, Maclaren, and the others tried
to figure all the angles. Everywhere they turned there was
an obstacle. Mostly it was money. Machinery has always
been ·expensive. Then there was the question of sponsorship. The school distr1ct would probably go along with
the idea of a fullfledged vocational education program if
someone else would foot the bill. Again money. There was
even some opposition-mostly in the form of apprehension-from the trade unions. Many of them were concerned that their professions would be glutted by a surphls of

workers; others were worried about the quality of instruction. Everywhere they looked, they ran into a dead end.
-"
But in mid.:1937, a series of events caused a shift
in the educational winds. Unexplainably, manual training
expenses for District #4 jumped several hundred dollars,
almost 25 percent over the previous year. More than $500
alone went to Wilson Junior High School. In Salem, _O.D.
Adams, a former public relations man, was making some
strong political allies and had made several trips to
Eugene to see his old school buddy Art Clough.
Then in a special Saturday morning sessiol} of the
Board of Education, Victor P. Morris' moved, seconded by
Austin P. Dodds, to hire Dr. J. F. Cramer of The Dalles as
the new superintendent of District #4. The vote was unanimous and Dodds moved he be contracted for three
years at a salary of $4,500 a year.
Cramer was an energetic qdministrator. He was
also sympathetic to vocational education and began
meeting socially and privately with Sweet, Tugman,
Maclaren, and Adams to discuss the possibility of a
district-owned but state-funded vocational school for
Eugene.
Finally, the frustration of the past two years was
ending. The countless discussions were paying off.
.Adams, with support from the Eugene contingent, bulled
ahead with plans to start the school. As summer closed,
he continued to beat a well-worn path between Salem and
Eugene.
0. D.' Adams was a practical man . He knew there
would probably be stiff opposition from some parts of the
community and he planned to fight it with statistics. He
wanted to show beyond a shadow of a doubt that there
was not only room, but also a need, for a vocational
education school in Eugene.

Gym floor given new look, old .shine
by Ron Gullberg

TORCH Sports Editor

Lane Community College's
gym floor received a facelift
this summer when Woods
Floor Company resurfaced the
20-year-old maplewood court.
The $16,517 project involved
sanding the previous finish, repainting lines, and for the first
time, painting a script "LCC"
in the basketball court's
center-circle.
The red "LCC" was the
brainwork of art student Edna
Kennel, and according to Dave
Wienecke, assistant director of
campus services, highlights the
overdue project.
''The last floor was yellowing and cracked,'' said
Wienecke. "But this time we
used a moisture cured

urethane that will outlast the
previous surface and won't
yellow or crack."
Lane students and fans can
expect tighter guidelines when
using the gym floor, but
Wienecke says the multipurpose arena will still be overrun by school and community
activities. "There doesn't appear to be any significant use
changes. We just want to reeducate the staff and student
body on proper use of the gym
to prolong the new surface's
life.''
Dr. Frederick Loveys, head
of health, physical education
and athletics, will post new
rules for gym use and has appointed Wienecke to inquire
into a practical means of laying a tarp under the bleachers
when they're pulled out.

Spikers rebound, place third Vocal dass open
by Darren Foss

TORCH Staff Writer

The LCC volleyball team
placed third in the pre-season
Umpqua Invitational tournament held in Roseburg Sept.
14 and 15. Lane's league
opener will be played here,
Saturday, Sept. 29, against
Linn-Benton CC, at 1 p.m ..
The first day of tourament
play didn't go well for the
Titans, with the young team'~
inexperience and lack of team
playing time yielding only one
victory in eight games. "We
had really close games with all
our opponents," notes Head
Coach Cheryl Brown.
The second day, Lane's efforts gave better results as the
team settled down and
defeated Clackamas Community College in two games,
15-10 and 15-9. The Titans
also defeated Treasure Valley
CC -- winning the first game
15-9, losing the second 11-15,
and winning the deciding game
15-12 -- to advance in the playoffs. However, Southwestern
Oregon CC defeated LCC
15-1, and 15-7, putting Lane in
the consolation bracket.
Lane advanced to the consolation finals by defeating
Clackamas 15-8 and 15-4, led

Shari Petrushkin, and setter
Darleen Murray. The Titans
finished third overall in the
tournament with a win over
the College of the Siskiyous
after three games, 6-15, 15-4,
and 15-8.
Brown commented "We
were happy with the results of
the tournament, we played
better defense the second
day."
Season Opener and Outlook

Lane began regular season
play at Monmouth against
Wes tern Oregon State College
Sept. 17, losing three straight
games 15-9, 15-9, and 15-1.
"Western Oregon was a far
superior team offensively than
we were, and they're bigger
than we were,'' reflected
Brown.
Brown looks forward to improved play from her young
team during the rest of the
season. Only two players,
sophomore~ Susan Moore -who transfered from Northern
Idaho CC -- and Rene
O'Bryant -- a graduate of
Sheldon High School -- have
experience in college league
play, the other ten team
members are all freshmen.
Both Moore and O'Bryant

play the middle blocker position, and are key elements in
the team's offensive play.
Brown believes star freshman
Shari Petrushkin, of Crow,
also a middle blocker, will lead
the team in offense this year.
Currently both O'Bryant
and Petrushkin are recovering
from injuries suffered during
the tournament in Roseburg,
and will miss the next few
games.Brown adds "Thanl<:
goodness we don't have any
key games in the next two
weeks. That will give them a
chance to heal up. Rene has a
bad back, and Shari has a torn
achilles heel."
In the meantime, front row
offensive specialist Patty
Brooks, of Cottage Grove,
will be the key in the Titan's·
offence. Brown assesses the
team's strengths, "I'm anticipating we will be a very
good defensive team with
good serv1cing -- we're really
good at hustling and playing
good defense. I think that will
save us in the long run.'' The
Titan's defense is led by Joan
Haffer of Monroe, and
Clarice Jentzch of Harrisburg,
both back row specialists.

in order to register but Instructor Dan Sachs says this is no
longer the case.
Sachs spoke to over a dozen
students who expressed interest in the class and didn't

register for it. He was concerried that they might not have
registered because a consent
card stipulation was mistakenly placed on the sequence
number.
Sachs urges all interested
students to attend the next
class at which time he will help
them register. Vocal Jazz
Ensemble is held M-W-U at 3
p.m. in Performing Arts 122.

that they "can override and

limiting these override elections to days when voters are
used to voting would make
levy elections more predictable.

Other criticisms raised by
opponents of Measure 2, are
that essential services (such as
fire and police protection) are
not exempted from cuts -which Rose claims will cause
homeowners insurance to dou- ·

clause is included which exempts social security from taxation. nsocial security has
never been taxed and never

Work Activity Center

Howard Bird, director of
the Work Activity Center
(WAC) housed in the
Downtown Center, reported
the WAC has outgrown its
current space and will move
into the old J afco Building at
1149 Willamette in late October.
WAC functions as a training facility for mentally
retarded adults. A Mental
Health Grant sustains the
WAC program and will pay
the $1200 monthly rent for the
next three years.
The space vacated at the
Downtown Center will be used
for additional classrooms.

At its most recent meeting,
September 12, 1984, the Board
received 400 additional
signatures from student Larry
Mann, who is leading a drive
to get rid of the picture ID
program, claiming that it costs
too much money. Mann's petition drive, which must net ten
percent of student signatures,
would place the question on a
student election ballot.

registered voters are either
dead or registered in more

Lane County Elections Division was unable to confirm
this figure but said that
because voters are only purged
from the system after two
years of inactivity, dead and

in the total registered voter

Lane County Assessor Bill
Bain says that although Lane
County usually gets a 50 percent voter turnout in May and
November, not all of these
people vote on the measures.
"I think that it's highly unlikely (that 50 percent of voters
would vote on levy measures)

"It's stupid of them to say
that,'' quips Bornemann.
"It's not unheard of for states

are currently taxing social
security as income or using it

eligibility for other programs
such as low-income housing.

TORCH Staff Writer

Sleeping on the job,
previously taboo at most
places of employment, izzzz -in this case -- quite acceptable
and, in fact, (yawn) expected.
According to Dan Semrad,
fire inspector for the Goshen
Rural Fire Protection District
(GRFPD), there are two positions open for "sleepers."
The sleeper lives rent free at
the Goshen RFPD Fire Hall
located at 85880 1st Street in
Goshen, in exchange for
sleeper service.
Because LCC is in the
Goshen fire district, the
Goshen RFPD hopes to recruit
the necessary sleepers from the

student body -- an arrangement which would benefit
both parties.
Why?
Imagine a fire or medical
emergency in the Goshen area
early in the morning ... imagine calling in the alarm and
discovering that nobody is
there to respond. Perhaps the
most important reason for a
sleeper is to improve the
department's response time to
fires and medical emergencies.
In many instances, the sleeper
would be on the first vehicle to
roll from the station.
With time and training, a
sleeper could become qualified
as a firefighter or an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).
Semrad says, "We'd like to

cont. from page t

enrollment
periencing
declines. Factors which may
be contributing to this pattern,
and LCC's reduction are:
Migration out of the area; the
reluctance of job-holders to
quit and return to school;
more agressive recruiting by
four-year schools; and a
decline in the number of high
school graduates in the area.

The department is constantly educating and training its
members, it holds regular
drills Tuesday afternoons at
3, and Thursday evenings at 7.
The sleeper could learn to
operate complex equipment,
extend his/her leadership
abilities, and render effective
critical care to the sick and injured.
Anyone interested in
becoming a volunteer
firefighter or a -- yawn -sleeper should contact Dan
Semrad at the Goshen Fire
Hall, or call 747-3104 between

College students who have

The Scholarship Bank will

According to the director of

financial aid from corporations, trade groups, and
