Gov. Vic Atiyeh recently
proposed a program which he
dubbed the OREGON Plan
(Oregon: Reliable Education
for Greater Opportunity
Now). Among the four major
ideas in his plan is an amendment to the Oregon constitution permitting a five percent
sales tax with proceeds earmarked for education.

• Use revenues from the
sales tax to reduce property
taxes.
• Stabilize the property tax
as a revenue source.
• Discourage property tax

According to Colvin, the
Facilities Committee is working through the list of recommendations. The committee is
exploring the possibility of extending the Center Building intake vents as high as the second floor level. Currently,
one of the air intakes is near
the loading dock (at ground
level) for the cafeteria, and the
exhaust vents are near two of
the entrances to the basement.

Colvin said rough cost
estimates were "not entirely
unreasonable,'' and a
preliminary engineering study
is underway.
Other changes in basement
services include the design of
directories to be installed near
all basement entrances, and
regular checks of restroom

Emergency needs can include
help with rent, utility bills, or
car repairs. Bell will assist
students in applying for these
emergency funds.
Basic eligibility requirements for BIA monies
are:
• The applicant must
establish that s/he is at least
one fourth Indian.
• The applicant must have a
financial need as determined
by the financial aid office.
• The Area/ agency deadline
is usually around March 1 so
the paperwork should begin
now, students should apply
early.
Any Native American student wishing to apply for
grants and scholarships reserved for them should see Bell immediately to begin the applica-

tion process, applications are
available for a number of the
larger agencies. Bell recommends that ''anyone who feels
they have a need should apply.'' They should also attend
the Fiancial Aid workshops
currently being offered at
. LCC, a copy of the standard

Financial Aid Application
must accompany the BIA application.
Bell offers assistance to
Native American students in a
variety of ways in addition to
basic financial aid guidance.
These include assistance in
tracing

trees,

establishing proof of degree • i
Indian blood, and acquiring a
registration number -- which is
needed in all BIA. Applicants
who already have a registration number should bring
verification of it with them
when contacting Bell.

Sanderson wins poetry contest
For more than 15 years,
Delta Sanderson has held
onto her poem, "Medea
Reconsidered,'' knowing it
was one of her best efforts.
This year, judges for the
American Poetry Association agreed, awarding
Sanderson the grand prize
of $1,000 in their 1984 International Poetry Contest.
''Medea Reconsidered''
is Sanderson's Italian son-

net about a sorceress noted
in Greek legend for helping
Jason win the Golden
Fleece and who, when
Jason deserted her, killed
her children, set fire to the
palace, and fled.
"I always thought she
overreacted," said Sanderson, a language arts instructor at Lane Community
College.
Sanderson
• recreated-the legend by of-

fering a new resolution for
Medea, one in which the
sorceress sets out to bewitch
Jason.
"I can't believe I won the
contest," Sanderson says.
"Nobody gets $1,000 for a
poem."
Because of Sanderson's
procrastination, a friend actually submitted "Medea
Reconsidered" to the contest -- with the poet's permission. Sanderson says the
judges picked her poem as
grand prize winner because
it was written as an Italian
sonnet, "a rather archaic
form," she adds.
A properly written Italian
sonnet has 14 lines. The
first eight introduce the
situation. The last six lines
contradict the first eight or
offer a solution to the situation.
Sanderson retains the
copyright to ''Medea
Reconsidered," which will
be published by the
American Poetry Association in a forthcoming
volume of poetry.
Sanderson, a native of
Utah, has been teaching at
LCC since 1966. She earned
bachelor's and master's
degrees form the University
of Oregon.

perhaps even more importantly, voters like yourself would

Independ ent study potential ly enriching
Forum by James Munyer
for the TORCH

The independent study option, for the inquiring LCC
student, may be an excellent
opportunity to augment one's
major course of studies.
Should a creative student
devise a project idea which
relates to his or her field of
study, chances are good that
an instructor could approye
the project for independent
study credit.
Unfortunately, not all
departments offer the opportunity for independent studies,
and a scan of the catalog sections will indicate as much.
The creative student seeking
support for a project from a
department in which no precedent has been established for
utilizing the independent study
option will more than likely
earn frustration rather than
extra credit.
Moreover, inquiries directed
to various department heads,
counselors, and instructors,
and even the Dean of Curriculum, would result in conflicting information as to
whether documentation of
guidelines, procedures and application forms even exist,
along with conflicting exhorta-

tions of the feasibility, validity, and definition of independent study.

In fact, a half-page policy
statement was obtained, in the
process of researching for this
report, from the Office of Instruction. One-half page hardly seems adequate to address
such an important subject
(important, at least, to some
students and staff), but even
this minute piece of information should be accessed publicly via the school catalog.
One viewpoint of opposition to independent studies is
that an instructor must
volunteer too much time to
provide supervision over the
project -- time which few instructors are able to spare.
This is an issue of defining the
nature of "independent,"
because actually, a closely
supervised project would be
defined as individualized instruction rather than independent study. Independent
study, as defined by Dressen
and Thompson in their book,
"Independent Study: A New
Interpretation of Concepts,
Practices and Problems,''
means '' ... motivation, curiosity, a sense of self-sufficiency
and self-direction, ability to

think critically and creatively,
awareness of resources, and
some ability to use them."
Thus, the role of the instructor with the independent study
student should not require
more than a few brief conferences within the frame
work of the instructor's
regular office hours, as excessive involvement by the instructor would only serve to
undermine the development of
the student's skills toward selfdirected learning.
Another argument against
independent study, encountered in the course of
researching this report, was
that no more could be learned
through an independent study
project than is taught in a
structured class.
The
fallacious reasoning of this
argument serves vividly to
reinforce the crux of this
report -- that decisive resolution of misconception, concerning the nature of independent
studies, is essential.
As for the validity of independent studies augmenting
any subject of study, reference
is made again from Dressen
and Thompson: "Independent
study properly conceived and
executed should lead to ... a
sense of the relevance of learn-

ing, and the ability to analyze,
synthesize, and apply learning.
It should also result in greater
personal satisfaction, continuing interest and vastly more
self-reliance in learning than
most students obtain from
enrollment in
formal
courses." In other words, the
experience gained through independent studies cannot be
gained through a structured
class.
The samples of misconceptions described above
underscore the effects of inadequate policy, which are increasingly generalized,
resulting in varied interpretations. This condition of ambiguity, coupled with an information dissemination deficit,
occurs in spite of the contrasting success of independent study in many departments.
Therefore, this author
recommends an extensive
study concerning this matter.
Misconceptions, misinformation and opposition of independent study which consequently deprives some
students (or even one student,
for that matter) a potentially
enriching educational opportunity warrants decisive administrative resolution.

To meet Africa's longer

World urges passage of the
African Relief and Recovery
Act (HR 6203), a $450 million

and recovery aid for fiscal year
1985 (beyond that already approved for fiscal year 1985).
Despite the obvious need for
increased aid to Africa during
the coming year, no food and
nonfood famine relief and
recovery funds were approved
beyond the 1984 levels. Urge
our Oregon Congressmen to
become cosponsors of HR
6203 and Sens. Hatfield and
Packwood to support such additional supplemental appropriations in the Senate.
The administration and the

ASLCC Senate provides a variety of programs

Forum by ASLCC President
Cindy Weeldreyer
for the TORCH

The ASLCC Senate
welcomes you back and wishes
all a Happy New Year!
The Senate stayed busy
throughout last term providing LCC students with a
variety of programs and services. I am both pleased and
proud to inform you of what

your student government did
for you fall term, and will give
you a sneak preview of what to
expect from us this term.
The Senate is involved in
many areas of service -- too
many to list in one forum!
Therefore, I'll cover our involvement in cultural/political
activities last fall and student
representation this week, and
next week conclude with student services, special projects,
and winter term cultural activities.
CULTURAL/POLITICAL
ACTIVITIES - FALL TERM
The majority of us in student government are in it
because of an interest in
politics. We are especially
challenged by the way politics
can help others. Last term was
a very political one for us and
for many others in America.
We adopted a policy of endorsement in mid-October,
''to inspire the fullest potential
involvement within our
democratic process.'' We
focused on issues that especially had an impact on students.
Yet, as citizens of a
democratic society, we also
feel it is necessary to voice
concern on the quality of life
of all people. In drafting our
endorsement policy, we sup• ported candidates and ballot
measures which supported
education, human and civil
rights, the environment, and
world peace. We felt then, as
we do now, that it is not
enough to want peace, justice,
and equality -- we must
challenge ourselves to work
for them.
• Peace-Political
Awareness Week, held October 15-19, was coordinated
by Cultural Director Bryan
Moore and the cultural committee. It featured comedian/political activist Dick
Gregory at South Eugene High

School auditorium, a nuclear
issues faculty debate,
teleconferences, a free movie,
slide shows, videos, and a
faculty panel discussion on
education and politics.
• Debate Series, was
highly successful last term,
due largely to the efforts of
Sen. Dean Roskosz. The
presidential debate on Nov. 5
and the Central American
foreign policy debate on Dec.
5, were very informative and
well attended. The ASLCC
Debate Series will continue
winter term on a monthly
basis.
• Last Chance Candidate's
Forum on Nov. 2 was a great
example of input by two LCC
students, Walt Eggleston and
Curtis Tindle. They initiated
this event and put in many
hours to organize it. Sen. Betsy Shand moderated the event
and teamed with timekeeper
and Cultural Director Bryan
Moore to keep things moving.
This forum gave students an
opportunity to meet many
candidates personally and ask
important questions just prior
to the election.
• Get Out the Vote Dance,
held at the U of O on Nov. 3
was a sellout. The dance was
co-sponsored with ASUO and
Citizens Action for Lasting
Securtiy.
• Margie Hendriksen appeared at LCC on Oct. 16. It
was well attended and coordinated by SRC Director Bob
Baldwin.
• Voter Awareness Program
was somewhat controversial,
yet effective in garnering student interest in the Nov. 6 election. Thanks again, LCC, for
helping to defeat Ballot
Measure 2! Incidentally, over
500 students registered to vote
last term on campus.
• Artist's Lecture Series, is
annually sponsored by
ASLCC for the Art Department.
• Irene Santiago, a Filipino
lawyer spoke on the crisis in
the Philippines and was cosponsored with Campus
Ministry, Women's Awareness
Center, and the Social Science
Department.
Many of the above mentioned activities were done in conjunction with other departments and groups and utilized
the talents of many LCC people. The ASLCC continues to
promote quality cultural programs to enrich the classroom
learning experience. Winter
term cultural events will be
outlined next week.
STUDENT
REPRESENTATION

Senate
The ASLCC
represents student interest at
all levels -- from campus committees to the board of directors for a national organization.
ATLCC:
• Presidential Search Ad-

visory Committee is made up
of representatives from all
areas of the college and the
community. Bryan Moore and
myself represent student interests on this important committee.
• Mechanics Screening Committee met last term to hire a
new department head. Sen.
Sue Frior was on this committee.
• Bookstore Advisory Committee meets regularly to
oversee bookstore operation
with Senator Dean Roskosz
representing students.
• Media Commission meets
in the spring to select the new
Torch and Denali editors.
Bryan Moore and Communications Director Steve
Ramseur serve on this committee.
• Academic Council hears
student appeals and grievances
with Treas. Robyn Braverman
and Sen. Sue Frior representing students.
• Compliance Review Committee reviews Affirmative Action at the College and I serve
on this committee.
• Hearings Committee
reviews any hearings that arise
out of the complaint procedure. Sen. Besty Shand is on
this committee.
• Instructional Goals and
Priorities Committee advises

the college president concerning instructional goals and
priorities based on the college's long-range plan. Vice
Pres. Meredith Myers
represents college transfer
students on this committee.
• Student Retention Committee researches the reasons
why students leave LCC.
Meredith also serves on this
committee.
There are many more college committees that ASLCC
members serve on that are too
numerous to mention here.
AT THE STATE LEVEL:

ASLCC is taking an active
leadership role in CCOSAC,
the state student association
for community colleges. Bryan
Moore chairs the Board of
(Student Body) Presidents
with Sen. Ellen Radcliffe as
his administrative assistant.
Betsy Shand was unanimously
elected by the Board of
Presidents to lea~th
CCOSAC lobbying t am i
Salem this year. A
members also played a major
role in drafting the CCOSAC
legislative platform for the upcoming session.
AT THE NATIONAL
LEVEL:

LCC, through CCOSAC, is
a member of the United States
Student Association (USSA)

Bryan Moore has played a
very active role in this
organization and is in his second year on the USSA Board
of Directors. Bryan's work
centers around creating a national network of state student
associations to give students a
strong voice in the political
arena. He lobbied hard to get
USSA to hold its annual summer congress at the U of O this
summer and succeeded. Student leaders from across the
nation and from foreign countries gathered in Eugene this
summer and drafted a strong
policy platform. We believe
that our membership in USSA
is step one in achieving credible student involvement in the
many important issues facing
us today. Bryan and Treas.
Robyn Braverman are
assisting USSA in coordinating a Central American
Student Tour (CAST) of US
schools later this year.
The ASLCC takes its role in
student representation seriously. To do our job more effectively we need more input
from LCC students. Your suggestions and comments are
welcome.

Next Week: Student Services,
Special Projects, and Winter
Term Cultural Events.

Braverman to be CISPES delegate LCC's mobile classroom will ·
on educational tour of El Salvador offer wide range of courses
by Allan Smolker

TORCH Staff Writer

This week LCC student
Robyn Braverman will travel
with five other Northwest
students on an educational
fact-finding tour with the
Committee in Solidarity With
the Peoples of El Salvador.
Braverman, who is the
ASLCC treasurer, is making
the trip at her own expense
and without any offi<;.ial ties to
the ASLCC.
The purpose of the tour,
which was arranged through
El Salvador's National
University, is to focus attention on the need to rebuild that
country's universities and to
build solidarity between the
peoples of El Salvador and the
U.S., says Braverman.
Although some of El
Salvador's universities have
been reopened, many of the
buildings have been bombed
and burned. Money has yet to
be reallocated by the government for rebuilding. The
CISPES delegation plans to
determine the needs of the
universites.
Braverman says, "I want it
to be . . . clear that it is not
necessarily a political fact finding tour. It is more an educational fact finding tour of
what CISPES can develop in
terms of material aid for their
university. . .there is medical
relief (being sent from the
U.S.), but there is nothing be.to help the
ing sent.
school.''
However, there is also a
political objective.
We want "to find out exactly what the role of the government is in keeping the university down ... although they (the
government) reopened it, (the
government) hasn't refurbished it with any money,'' says
Braverman. · According to
Braverman, students are still
being kidnapped, jailed, and
murdered in El Salvador.
In addition to visiting the
university, the group will also
tour two prisons.

Board discusses wide range of topics
by Jackie Barry

TORCH Editor

The LCC Board of Education met Wednesday, Dec. 12
to discuss a wide range of
topics from remodeling and
construction needs on campus
to the appointment of
numerous advisory committee
members.
Staff reports
Dean of Administrative Ser- :
vices Bill Berry presented three
prioritized lists of construction
and remodeling projects that
were identified on campus.

LCC submitted these projects for funding under the
State Construction Assistance

Plan (SCAP) for the 1985-87
biennium. The school submitted the same projects for the
SCAP in 1983-85 but at that
time projects were only funded
if they were for improved
energy efficiency, improved
handicapped access, and code
compliance.
Berry also reported that investment income for the first
quarter of the 1984-85 fiscal
year was $158,724 as compared to $128,658 last year last
year at the same time.

Giving Come a From The Heart

Jack Carter, vice president
of student services, reported
that about half of the local
high school graduates who go
on to college choose to attend
LCC. He also noted the
number of students who actually graduate from high
school is dropping.
This fall LCC also enrolled
1,300 students who transferred
from other colleges.

New business
The board appointed ''very
interested'' media buyer David
Koranda to the KLCC Advisory Board and approved the
station's application for an
Oregon Arts Commission
grant of $2,140 which they will
use to upgrade recording and
broadcast equipment.
Business affairs
The board voted to advance
$9,950 from uncommitted
plant funds to remodel the
new Work Activity Center
(WAC) location at 1149
Willamette. The WAC will
repay the money over the next
three years.

Larry Murray, dean of community education, suggested
'implementing a policy that
would enable students enrolled
full-time in adult ed classes to
take one credit course at no
charge. The board approved
this suggestion.

Three artists exhibit
new photography
Works by three contemporary
American
photographers who shared
an intense concern for people will be on display Jan.
2-31 at the University of
Oregon Museum of Art's
Photography at Oregon
Gallery.
The three artists are
Diane Arbus, Lisette Model
and Arthur Fellig, better
known as Weegee. The exhibit is on loan from the
Sander Gallery of New
York City.
Arbus, originally a
fashion photographer, was
greatly influenced by
Model, her teacher, and by
Weegee, a newspaper
photographer whose use of
flash created stark contrasts
between the subject and the
surrounding shadowy
background.
Arbus' • photography
drew the attention of
thousands of curious
viewers to museums shortly
after her death in 1971. Her
serious personal work,
begun in the 1950s,
evidences a compassionate
concern for people on the
edge of "normal" society.
Model began her career
in the 1940s as a free-lance
photographer
for
"Harper's Baazar." During
this time, she mingled with
such major American
photographers as Ansel
Adams, Edward Weston,
Paul Strand, Bernice Abbott and Minor White.
In the introduction to

Model's retrospective book,
Bernice Abbott wrote,
''Her seeing is visual
energy. When primed for
action, her photographic
eye sees all and in depth ..
. The people become
sculptures
and
the
sculptures become people
with the weight of the world
on their shoulders. How
much more photography is
related to sculpture than to
painting."
Weegee, whose book
''The Naked City'' was the
basis for a major motion
picture and a popular television series, was an intrepid
news photographer. He arrived so quickly at the
scenes of murders that it
was once suggested jokingly
that he actually planned the
killings.
Sleeping in his car, where
he had a police radio as well
as a makeshift darkroom in
his trunk, he could pick up
police radio calls, rush to
the scene of crimes,
photograph and develop
pictures and then rush
prints to newspapers well
ahead
of
other
photographers.
He earned the nickname
"Weegee" for his uncanny
ability to be a step ahead of
the police, as though he
were using a ouija board.
The Museum of Art is
open from noon to 5 p.m.
Wednesday through Sunday, expect holidays. Guided tours are available on
Sunday at 2 p.m.

o:

In addition, the lab is also
connected to the school's
mainframe computer, and
several departments (Data·
Processing, Language Arts,
and Social Sciences) have programs which allow their
students to take tests and do
homework in the lab.

WOW Hall Music

The Community Center for the Performing Arts is proud
to host Bill Rhodes and Blues Deluxe at the W. 0. W. Hall, 8th
and Lincoln in Eugene on Friday, Jan. 11. Doors open at 9
p.m. and music starts at 9:30. Opening for Bill Rhodes is Lost
in the Shuffle.
On Saturday, January 12 the center will host The Michael
Souther Band will perform on Saturday, January 12. Michael
Souther, formerly of Eugene-based band the Secrets, takes
off on his own with a new band and new original songs.
Opening for Michael Souther is Sterling, a four-piece band
playing original rock and roll. Doors open at 9 p.m. and
music starts at 9:30.
Music from the Andes will be performed by Sukay on
Wednesday, January 16. The four members of Sukay, from
the U.S., Switzerland ~nd Bolivia, play over thirty instruments ranging from ancient Inca pan pipes to mandolins
introduced to South America in the 16th century. Doors open
at 8 p.m. and music starts at 8:30.
All ages are welcome.

Romania
donates van

Computer testing hours are
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., and
Tuesday and Thursday 9 a.m.
to 7:45 p.m.
Other departments which
have programs available for
students in the lab, (in addition to Language Arts, Social
Science, and Data Processing),
are: Business, Science, Math,
and Health. The lab has one
Apple Ile, ten Apple 11, and
one Commodore 64. Its
printers include Epsons, Apple
Image Writers, and a Houston
Instrument color plotter, (two
, color plotters are also
available).

LCC Mechanics Program students will resurrect this van
which was damaged en route to Joe Romania Chevrolet.
Romania's generosity is probably best remembered at LCC for
his generous donation of a large parcel of land (co-owned with
Lew Williams) adjacent to the college. His continued support of
LCC also includes the annual loan of a motorhome for crosscountry championships.

TORCH Sports Writer

TORCH Sports Editor

Lane Community College's men's basketball
team won its own holiday classic tournament Dec.
28-29, and started off the new year with a bang,
going 1-0 in league play with a 66-44 victory over
Umpqua, Jan. 5.
In the tournament's opening round the Titans
rolled to a 78-57 victory over Shoreline C.C. ofl:''
Seattle. The win vaulted Lane into the title game,
facing Skagit Valley C.C., which Lane won 92-75.
Lane never trailed Shoreline, jumping out to an
early 23-7 lead -- including a spurt of 12
unanswered ooints -- before a 42-28 halftime lead
The Titan's offense was led by freshman
Jerome Johnson, 26 points -- including two slam
dunks -- while sophomore guard Kevin Leonard 1>
chipped in 24. Rick Kay led the rebounding
statistics with 10.
In its championship game Lane faced the determined Skagit Valley Cardinals, battling to a 41-41
halftime deadlock.
But Lane opened the second half blazing, ,
enroute to a 51 point performance, crusing to the
title win.
Johnson led the Titan's offense once again,
pouring in 36 points -- 21 in the second half --\
while Leonard added 19. In the battle of the
boards Kay led once again, collecting nine rebounds.
Lane's team performance in the tourney carried
into their league opener Jan. 5, with a 66-44 blowout over Umpqua.
After a slow start, the Titans capitalized on Umpqua turnovers to take an 11 point halftime lead,
35-24. Lane then dominated the second half, enforcing its defense, and cruised to a 22 point victory, improving its overall record to 11-2.
Kay led both rebounding and scoring, notching ,
18 points and stealing 10 boards, while Jerome
Johnson added 12 points.

Lane Community College's women's basketball
team reeled off an impressive win record during its
Christmas break, despite losing dominating center
Shari Rose (personal reasons) for three games.
The Titans traveled to Coos Bay Dec. 21-22 to
compete in the Tip-Off Tournament at
Southwestern Oregon Community College. Lane
opened the tourney losing to Linn-Benton 62-65,
blemishing its previously perfect mark of six
straight victories.
Lane center/ forward Kristi Viltz stepped in for
the absent Rose and looked impressive -- grabbing
15 rebounds and scoring 17 points -- guiding her
way to a spot on the all-tournament team.
After the loss, Lane rebounded the next day and
posted a 61-50 consolation victory over
Southwestern Oregon. Forward Liz Turner led the
Titans with 21 points and eight boards.
The Titans opened their Northwest Athletic
Association of Community Colleges regular
season Saturday, Jan. 5 with a hard fought 47-42
win over Umpqua.
"We played really sloppy," said Head Coach
Sue Thompson. ''But there are a lot of factors -the Christmas Break lay-off, loss of Rose. We still
should have played better, though."
"We're rollin' right along, except for the Umpqua game. The major thing is that we're improving every time out,'' Thompson added.
Sophomore guard and team captain Dawn
Smoot' s intimidating presence has emerged on the
~ court and has given Thompson's squad a boost in
i Rose's absence.
~ "Dawn is our guard and, ironically, is our
leading rebounder (89 boards)," said Thompson.

"She (Smoot) is clearly our best defensive
j player and we will have her cover each team's best
__________,Q,, player," added Thompson.

PORTLAND

'Paper Breaker' goes for broke
Feature by Ron Gullberg

TORCH Sports Editor

Saturday I became a diehard Breaker fan.
On Jan. 5 many fading high
school and college football
jerseys -- and old football war
stories -- were brought out of
the bottom dresser drawer and
onto Portland Civic Stadium's
playing surface when the new
Portland Breakers football
team held its first free-agent
tryout camp.
Recalling George Plimpton
-- the famous sportswriter
whose book, "Paper Lion,"
recounted his rigorous tryout
with National Football
League's Detroit Lions -- I
decided a Portland Breakers
feature story was in order for
The Torch. And so I tried-out
for the team's place-kicker
position (the only position in
the game that wouldn't bangup my body. Sorry, Mr.
Plimpton, no story is worth
broken bones.)
After all, I was a successful
kicker at Newport High
School, and a long-time soccer
player.
I must admit I expected to
see a thousand modern-day
goliaths with muscle-rippled
bodies and fiery eyes above
frothy mouths. But, somewhat
disappointed, I was surrounded instead by over 500 armchair quarterbacks, all hoping
to relive their boyhood fantasies: At least 70 percent of
these men were trying out just
to say, "I did it."
To be fair, though, none
lacked ambition, and all carried the unrealistic hope that
we'd make the pro team.
Sure, there were some freshout-of-college players, but only around five will be lucky to
be considered for the
Breakers' training camp Jan.
19 at Cal Poly-Pomona.
Breakers Head Coach Dick
Coury (Former Head Coach
of the now-defunct Portland
Storm) said it best when he

greeted the throng of mainly
overweight, beer-bellied
''athletes'':'' Being realistic,
very few of you have a chance
to make the team. We'll give
you two tries on the agility
drills (40-yard dash and vertical jump). And don't call us,
we'll get ahold of you."
After his greeting, and our
signing the liability release
forms, the punters went first.
Former Oregon State
University kicker /punter
Chris Mangold and Former
Eastern Oregon State College
kicker/punter Rick Ward -who punted for the NFL's
Washington Redskins in the
preseason before being cut -were the only hopefuls who
will probably be looked at
again.
Then the coaches cleared the
field. They called the wide
receivers and linemen down
from the stadium bleachers -over 200 covered the
Astroturf. A few were joking,
jean-clad men running their
40-yard dash in socks, or runners off the street who seemed
to think a football tryout
would be a fun alternative to a
Saturday workout. There were
the rest of us hopefuls. And,
of course, one Portland State
lineman who set himself apart:
And he was the only one
anyone on the field expected
to be called back.
Coaches cleared the field
calling for
again
linebackers, quarterbacks and
running backs. Mike Mccurdy, a 26-year-old former
University of Idaho quarterback raised a few eyebrows
with his passing abilities and
footwork, and will likely be
looked at again. The rest -you got it, don't call us ....
Then came my moment of
truth.
Coaches summoned us 50
placekickers to the center of
the field. An assistant coach
told us we must first
demonstrate kick-offs. Now,

Bowling

TORCH Sports Editor

high school and college
boaters kick from the 40. But
he said in the pros, we must
kick from the 35 and reach the
opposite 10-yard-line to prove
our leg strength and qualify to
tryout as field-goal kickers.
My untrained kicking leg
could only muster enough
power to reach the 13-yardline. Close, but not pro
caliber. "You had good hang
time, but not enough
distance," yelled out a coach.
So much for my moment.
And the other 542 hopefuls
were as human as I. During
the morning, as our dream
bubbles burst, we all realized
we needn't be embarrassed or
nervous to do the drills. We
were all in the same boat and
only a few good· men would
get a second chance.

Pro Football.
"I tried out for the fun of it
anyway,'' said an unidentified
camper. "Hell, in all the years
the Dallas Cowboys have existed, only two walk-ans have
ever made the team."
To date only one Portland
Breaker, Erik Elliott, has
made it as a walk-on: He
walked-on last year when the
team was based in New
Orleans, and now he's a
linebacker and deep snap
specialist.
So, the tryout was more like
a high school open house to
show the parents how good
their system is. Sure enough,
many who tried-out deemed it
a success -- and formed a line
in front of the stadium ticket
office after the tryouts. Now
they're Breaker fans forever.
And as Coach Coury said,
"It gave the guys a chance to
say 'I did it.' "
Maybe we Honorary
Breakers can still make the
traveling squad -- by trying out
for the dance team, ''The
Heart breakers,."

Louis A. Bellisimo is a
Eugene bowling institution
and a founding member of the
Professional Bowlers Association back in the 1920's. and
now Lane students can learn
to bowl straight from the
master himself.
Bellisimo will instruct LCC
bowling classes this winter
term, reviving a once cancelled
course. Class will be scheduled
on Tuesdays from 3-6 p.m., at
the Southtown Bowl, and
Wednesdays from 3-6 p.m., at
Emerald Lanes.
Enrollment will be limited
to 32 in each class and
Bellisimo expects to fill them
fast, despite the Health,
Athletics and P .E. Department's last-minute dedsion to
re-instate the always popular
recreational activity.
"Bowling is my whole life,"
Bellisimo says with a grin. ''At
the risk of sounding
egotistical, I've been doing
this (instructing bowlers) over
45 years and it's always been a
popular class."
He explains that '' I grade

my students only on form and
written tests, not on scores.
The most important part of
this (teaching) is instruction."
Teaching at LCC for several
years, in 1977 Bellisimo suddenly found out that the class
wasn't popular with an administrator and was cut. "I
think it was due to budget
cuts, but I'm not sure. It
doesn't matter. The class is
back again, with the support
of Dr. (Frederick) Loveys
(new head of Health, P .E. and
Athletics), that's all that matters."
Bellisimo, who has written a
best selling bowling instruction book (over 250,000 copies
sold) also instructed bowling
at the University of Oregon,
''too many years ago to recount the starting date."
Three bowling classes will
be offered next term, including one being at the U of
0 lanes. For more information, contact the Health, P .E.
and Athletics office, ext. 2215.

Clowning around new course atLcc·
by Jackie Barry

TORCH Editor

You can learn a lot of things
at Lane Community College,
including how to clown
around -- professionally
speaking of course.
LCC's adult education program will offer a course in the
basics of clownology this
winter term which starts the
week of Jan. 7. Master clown
Steve - Stefie T. Clown - Jones
will teach the course.
Students will study the
history of clowning and learn
the different types of clowns
as well more practical skills
like how to apply makeup and
juggling. ("We'll start out juggling scarves the first night. I

Stefie, a native of Eugene,
became interested in performing as a clown while employed
as an elementary school
teacher in Salt Lake City.He
thought clowning might give
him ·greater impact in the
classroom. He took performing arts and clownology
classes at the University of
Utah and eventually took a
twelve week master clown
course taught by Ringling
Bros. and Barnum and Bailey
Circus in Venice, Fla.
He came back to Eugene
this past August and tried to
form associations with clowns
like he'd had in Salt Lake. He
went to the Saturday Market
and met regularly with a group
of jugglers in Alton Baker

students in Stefie's class will
be required to perform 12
hours of community service at
places like Sacred Heart and
McKenzie
Willamette
Hospitals. They will also make
guest appearances at the
Clown Company's Saturday
Matinee at the McDonald
Theatre, and perform a final
exam on the LCC main campus.

Park and Skinner's Butte
Park. He eventually met and
began clowning with Jeff
Greenwald and Dan Fite of the
Clown Company. ("I had a lot
of the technical and marketing
know-how and they had the
territory.")
The business of clowning
appears to be largely a labor of
love, with clowns performing
almost like public servants to
entertain and make people
laugh. Not many make it to
the rich and famous category
like Charlie Chaplin or the
Marx Bros. Practicing clowns
must then be motivated by factors other than greed. Stefie is
interested in kids. ("That's
what it's all about.") And
Ringling Bros. makes applicants fill out a thick sheaf
of papers. ("Almost a complete psychological profile.'')
Since clowns frequently
entertain the young and/ or the
infirm, toward this end,

Students will leave the class
with their own clown persona.
Stefie says students usually
have their names and faces by
the fourth or fifth week of
class. Other classmates
sometimes help brainstorm for
appropriate names and each
budding clown experiments
with makeup to figure out the
right combination for their
facial features and the type of
clown they want to portray.
Stefie masquerades during
the day as the director of the
Eugene Latchkey program. He
also entertains at parties for
kids aged three to adult ("I
can adapt my balloons and illusions to almost any age."),
entertains diners at Papa's
Pizza as well as continuing his

the Clown Company at the
McDonald.
Two sections of the

from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Cost is

LCC offers foreign students
more options
by Lisa Zimmerman

TORCH Staff Writer

Many foreign students
choose LCC over 4-year
universities because of the opportunities ·it offers them and
the personalized attention they
receive here.
This is what Kent Gorham,
Multi-cultural Center coordinator, and Trudi Parker, admissions specialist, told 20
journalism students in Journalism Instructor Pete Peterson's Newswriting 1 class during a panel diseussion on Friday, Dec. 7, focusing on
LCC's International Students.
Parker, who has assisted the
Admissions Office with
foreign student applications
for 13 months, said there are
about 84 full-time and 6 parttime International Students at
LCC. The majority of them
are from Japan and Saudi
Arabia.
• Some students are sponsored by their governments,
but many provide their own
funds. In fact, Parker noted
that '' some families do
without to provide an education for their children."
Parker explained that for
stud~nts to attend LCC
they must first achieve a score
of 475 or better on the Test of
English as a Foreign Language
(TOFEL). Next, students apply using the same form as
American students, submit a
data sheet for a visa, and their
transcript. Finally, the school
makes certain the students
have the financial support they
need to attend school and live
in the U.S. for a year. Parker
estimated the cost to be about
$10,000 per year for the
students.
Gorham said that in the
future the Multi-cultural ·
Center hopes to provide a
more formal welcome for new
International Students,
"something to provide information about staff and programs at LCC." The "social"
would also give the new
students a chance to meet
other foreign students and give
other LCC students interested
in the program a chance to
meet and welcome the
students. The first of these
socials is planned for the
beginning of spring term.
Kent Gorham continued the
discussion, explaining some of
the problems foreign students
have in the U.S. Some of the
students' major concerns are
ability to communicate,
uncertain expectations, study
habits, health needs, and food
and housing.
What the students need
most is to feel welcome. The
students, who are far from
home, many of them for the
first time, ''need people who
are willing to act as sort of
host families, to watch out for
them when they first arrive,''
explained Gorham.
When asked if the students·
will take back American ideas
and customs when they return
home, Gorham said this

depends on the individual and
the expectations of the country. But, he added, "every student will be taking back new
ideas and new feelings about
intercultural relationships."
Parker said • wh1le many
students come to Lane for the
technical training it offers,
there are other reasons. Some
students haven't yet attained
the fluency in English
necessary to enter a 4-year college. Lane has special study
skills classes which help them
meet these requirements.
According to Parker, the
students say they feel more
like individuals at LCC
because of the smaller classes
and approachable teachers.
Students also find more opportunities to interact with
American students than at a
larger 4-year college.

Honor roll
announced
Lane Community College
has issued its fall term honor
roll, with 1,755 students earning a grade point average of
3.0 and greater (on a 4.0
scale). A total of 316 LCC
students made the President's
List, earning a 4.0. Another
622 earned between a 3 .5 and
3.99 grade point average to
make the Vice President's
List. And 817 students earned
between a 3.0 and 3.49 grade
point average to make the
Dean's List.
To be eligible for the LCC
honor roll, a student has to be
enrolled in at least 12 graded
credit hours. The honor roll is
not cumulative, but is
developed independently each
term .

Three local groups
use funds wisel)'

Wednesday, January 16 at 11 :30 a.m. Mrs. Victor
(Dolores) Atiyeh will be in Eugene to honor three local
organizations -- KLCC Radio, the Community Center for the
Performing Arts and Maude Kerns Art Center -- for their
wise use of 1984 tax check-off funds.

The public is invited to attend the ceremony, to be held at
Maude Kerns Art Center, 15th and Villard Streets.
In 1984 KLCC received $3,000 to purchase a transmitter,
the Community Center for the Performing Arts received
$2,500 to remodel the building's lobby area, and Maude
Kerns Art Center received $1,000 to complete a general
renovation project. All three organizations have successfully
matched the check-off requirement with dollars, materials
and donated services, exceeding the three dollars to one dollar
requirement. Tax check-off grants for 1985 have just been
awarded to KWAX Radio and the New Zone Gallery.
David Sherman, chairman of the Oregon Arts Commission, which administers the tax check-off grants and Richard
Miller, president of Lane Regional Arts Council's board of
directors, will introduce Mrs. Atiyeh.

Is U.S. policy justified ?

A~Lc;(. ?potisors lively debate
ori Central American strategy
by Kevin Harrington

TORCH Staff Writer

Is U.S. policy in Central
America justified?
This was the topic of a lively
and informative ASLCC spring debate held in the LCC
boardroom on Dec. 5. Peter
Murphy, Jr., Oregon head of
the Republican National Committee, spoke on behalf of the
Reagan administration's Latin
America policies, while
Charles 0. Porter, Eugene
lawyer and former U.S. Congressman from Oregon, provided the opposition.
Porter repeatedly stressed
demilitarization, negotiation,
and concern for human rights
~s the way to peace and
democracy in Central
America, rather than the use
of military force. Responding
to a question about possible
- violations of international law

by the CIA in Nicaragua,
Porter accused the Reagan administration of being
"lawless" and "not abiding
by our most sacred treaties."
The atmosphere during the
debate was relaxed and pleasant. The 30-40 spectators
behaved in a polite, objective
manner that seldom revealed
political prejudice (although
the mention of Henry Kissinger's name did provoke a
few hisses). Porter and Murphy maintained an easygoing
comaraderie throughout that
seemed to belie the seriousness
of the topic they were discussing.
Murphy, on the other hand,
accused the Sandinista governa
having
of
ment
"stranglehold on freedom" in
Nicaragua, and argued that
''The CIA has the right to be

American interests in the free
world.''
He described El Salvador as
a country where "democracy
is on the move'' and added
that ''The loss of life (in El
Salvador) has been curtailed
dramatically since Duarte's
election."
Porter dismissed charges
that Nicaragua is arming itself
to attack its neighbors. "The
last thing that Daniel Ortega
and his people (the Sandinista
leadership) want is for the
U.S. to have an excuse to
come in there.''
Murphy responded by
reminding Porter of the
Cuban missle crisis, and asked, '' Are there not Russians
and Cubans in Nicaragua?
What are they doing there?''
Porter reiterated his theme of
demilitarization. "If we
demilitarize we'll have a
chance for real democracy. I
want them (the Cubans) gone.
I want us gone."

signal comes back down to the
receiving dish, it is reflected
back to a spot about the size of
a quarter, which is a very fine
quality amplifier, says Brock,
and sent to a receiver (by a
small wire) which is tuned like
a television.
Brock says teleconferences
and telecourses broadcasted
through the satellite are of a
very high quality and are
cheaper in the long run than
making and mailing video
tapes around to various

schools. He says the professional quality is due to the fact
that teleconferences are sent
from ''second generation
tapes." Audio and visual
materials are sent direct, and
in addition, there are no tapes
to get lost or slowed down by
mail while someone at another
school is waiting for them.

education and testing standards, and also a Higher
Education Improvement Program whjch would provide
funds for college maintenance
and modernization.

Critics also point out that:
• The OREGON Plan permits the Legislature to exempt
items not already exempted
from the sales tax proposal
(food and medicine, for instance, are exempted in the
proposal).
• It would cost money and
time to elect and maintain a
new state board for community colleges.
''The payoff is some real
stability in funding,'' says
Miles.
But Schafer sees it differently. "The local boards are better able to judge the needs of
their communities."

Public officials and opinion
leaders raise other questions
about the sales tax issue.
One suggestion is to commit
one percent of the levied tax to
reduce income tax. But
Atiyeh's press secretary Denny
Miles states that the governor's proposed budget for the
1985-87 biennium already includes approximately $300
million in income tax cuts.

broadcast facility sends the

Winter
enrollment
down at LCC
by Lisa Zimmerman

This is the eighth 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.

Almost instantly, millions of unemployed men and
women were put to work in thousands of governmentfunded projects. The Grand Coulee and Hoover/Boulder
Dams were built on the Columbia and Colorado Rivers.
Timberline Lodge went up on Mt. Hood. Bridges
appeared everywhere, including a very sp·ecial span
across the Mississippi from Illinois to Hannibal, Mo., the
boyhood home of Mark Twain. Roosevelt personally
attended to the dedication 0f that bridge.
Closer to home, the WPA was active all up and
down the valley. In Eugene, WPA workers built Civic
Stadium on South Willamette St. and operated a day-care
center during the first few months of the· Eugene
Vocational School's trial period in the winter of 1938, then
moved it in 1939 from Geary to a new butlding on Blair
Blvd .
Success of the Work Projects Administration led
to a number of subordinate agencies. The Civilian
Conservation Corps was probably the most famous, and
for a few years a CCC camp was located north of Skinner
Butte in what is now Skinner Butte Park.
Another, less noted agency of Roosevelt's
alphabet soup administration, was the National Youth Administration, created in the late.Thirties specifically to help
train the millions of out-of-work teenagers in America. In
its early years, the Eugene Vocational School was affected
as much by the NYA as it was in 1956 by Sputnik.
Built in to the philosophy of the National Youth
Administration was an all-encompassing, almost singular
goal: vocational education. Economists were predicting
better times ahead-the war in Europe was already
creating more jobs at home-and the federal government
was determined to provide the trained manpower for
those jobs from a previously ignored labor . pool, the
nation's young.

The timing couldn't have been better. The Eugene
Vocational School, in spite of its early success during the
winter trial period, still faced some potential problems. If
Adams' optimistic efforts at dramatically expanding the
school's curriculum fell on its face, the school could be
seriously hurt. What he needed was a dependable source
of students to keep enrollment up.That's exactly what he
got from the NY A.
He also got a bonus. In addition to their education,
NY A students were required to work at least 50 hours
each month on "local projects" during their stay in the
program.
What that meant to the Vocational School was that
living practically next door was not only a perpetual supply of students but also a seemingly inexhaustible supply of
free labor. During the next few years, NYA students would
make every major addition to the vocational school including the auto, metal and aviation shops and many early
repairs to the Geary Building. All for a monthly federally'
paid salary of $16.
Not much, even by Depression standards, but
enough at least to buy a quart or two of Old Grain beer
from time to time and to treat your girl to a dance at the
union hall above the Oregon Outdoor Store.
The NYA came to town in 1938. Fifty-two unemployed boys-mostly straight off the farm-were trucked in during a bitterly cold winter's night and dropped off
at the rickety old CCC barracks at Camp Skinner's Butte.
Fred O'Sullivan remembers that "there was snow
on the ground. It was very cold and when we went into the
barracks they told us if we wanted a mattress to sleep on
that night to fill our ticks with straw which was piled up in a
corner.
To be continued.

LCC may seem empty to
returning students this term.
''There are significantly more
cancelled classes than last year
at this time," said Director of
Admissions Bob Marshall.
According to Marshall, as
of Dec. 17, winter enrollment
was down by 950 students (230
of those being full-time
enrollments) as compared to
1984 winter term enrollment.
Although over 700 students
registered Jan. 7 (a rise of 350
students over last year) Marshall estimates the final enrollment to be approximately 12 14 percent less than last year.
"The decrease is campuswide and affects all departments," said Marshall. But,
he said the hardest hit is the ,
Math Department. Business,
sciences and social sciences
also experienced large
decreases.
Marshall attributes th-e
decrease to the economy.
"I've dealt with more people
that just don't have money
than I can ever remember.''
He also stated that significant
loss of population in Lane
County and the increase in
publicity for the U of O may
be other reasons for the
decrease.
