TORCH Editor Mass Communications instructor Mike Hopkinson disappeared last term. He took a leave to research employment requirements at several Washington state corporations. Hopkinson spent six weeks working at the Boeing Co. in i. s Seattle Motion Picture and f elevision (MPTV) division. "I knew absolutely nothing about the corporate environment" says Hopkinson, who coordinates Supervised Field Experience for students in the Mass Comm. Department. "The biggest thing in getting employed is experience,'' Hopkinson continues, stating that he would like the Mass Comm. Department to ''tailor experience to large corporations and not just commercial and educational." Boeing employs 65,800 people in the state of Washington alone and as a result good communications are important for smooth and efficient operations within the corporation. The MPTV division produces films and videotapes for other divisions to keep them abreast of news within the corporation. "It helps them function better,'' Hopkinson states. Hopkinson worked on a production crew during his weeks at Boeing. "I tried to follow (a project) from the work order to the finished project," he says. He also examined the media departments of the Safeco Insurance Co., Washington Natural Gas and the Seattle Police Department which employ less than a handful of people as compared to Boeing's MPTV department of 25 to 30 people. Hopkinson said most of these people had some college education but few of them had college degrees. Many were long-term employees of Boeing and photography was their life after 4 p.m. Hopkinson told his winter term Media Productions class that he thinks the Mass Comm.

In addition, Tegge noted that this year during the 6 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. period, the salaries of the cafeteria crew were higher and that sales averaged $78 to $100, compared with $500 netted in previous years during that same time period. However, students and faculty that are on campus in the evenings need not feel that some of their needs are not taken care of. The college has installed three vending machines in addition to the existing machines in the cafeteria. These three machines are located at the far end of the Snack Bar near the Student Health Center and provide hot as well as cold drinks and snacks too. To assure the supply is ample for evening students, these vending machines have been programmed to operate specifically only during 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. Carter hopes to see the resumption of evening operation of the snack bar in the future. Cahill - McLeod LCC's new SRC director by Brad Jeske TORCH Staff Writer The Student Resource Center (SRC) has a new director -- Mass Communications major Pat Cahill-McLeod. Cahill-McLeod says she's "pretty excited" and sees student government as a wonderful opportunity for students to express themselves. ''There are very few places where I feel I could've gotten a job like this one," she states. She cites going to the opening of the state Legislative session on Jan. 14 as an example of an activity that she would not ordinarily have easy access to. If you need a place to live, a child day care referral, or a ride to school the SRC may be able to help. Located on the second floor of the Center Building, outside the library, the SRC offers information on the above topics on a bulletin board as well as providing a microwave oven and lounge area for community use. Cahill-McLeod says two new services will be added soon. One is a new co-op child New SRC Director Pat Cahill-McLeod attends to business at the SRC. care exchange where people may trade babysitting. The other is the revival of the Oregon State Public Interest Research Group - (OSPRIG) which was discontinued a few years ago. Recycling is yet another facet of the SRC. ''The SRC is in charge of recycling in all departments here at Lane,'' says Cahill-McLeod. She added, ''Recycling is the big money maker. It pays for almost all of the Student Resource Center,'' in addition to the benefits of conserving paper. Cahill-McLeod says, "We're always open and would like suggestions. Students should know about the SRC, we're there for them."

And during that Career Planning course I made a career choice. And, although my career choice was Journalism, Journalism was my second choice. I really wanted to be a professional loony. There are courses at LCC that prepare a person for lunacy, and many positions in business are occupied by loonies, but, unfortunately, not too many loonies wear clown suits, and make funny faces and strange noises. That might be because there are not many openings for out front loonies. And I wanted a position of authority where I could wear bizarre clothes, and make funny faces and weird noises. Considering the state of the world, I thought life as a loony would be fun and make for a rational existence. Look, when the nuts are running the asylum ... Yes, the deep down real me is not the lettered, suave, debonaire, man of the world you see pictured above. No, the real me wanted to be a successful corporate or government loony. Most important, you should know we are now dealing with The me. real the what's-the-Pope-really-like Pope. Anyway, you should also know that as I type, I am frothing at the mouth, my eyes are crazed and glazed, and I am shouting at this wonderful machine that records my thoughts: The electronic wonder that politely tells me when I have erred, offers direction toward correction, and helps me find the way. Night or day I can go to the Wonderful Machine for support and direction. My Think Machine doesn't deserve abuse. Did I say that I am ranting, or have you noticed? "B L A H !

This person -- who has chosen to ignore the FACT that smoking is legal ONLY in DESIGNATED SMOKING AREAS, said to me, after I had stated the obvious, this person said, ''Gosh and golly gee, I am sorry I didn't know.'' That answer, and the look of innocence might have made it with mom or dad, but not with the real Me. "Well, why don't you snuff the damn thing out," I said, after waiting for the damn thing to be snuffed out. ''Golly, I never thought of that." "You haven't put the thing out!"

TO THE EDITOR LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TOR LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LETTERS TO Orange not my color To the Editor: Let me start out by stating unequivocably, right from the beginning, that, for my next birthday, I want a car that is invisible. That I wish to avoid being WELCOMED to the LCC main campus in bright orange (Editors note: Parking violations forms are bright orange and begin, "Welcome to LCC' ') should be obvious. Orange is not my favorite color. And I also don't like being welcomed with a "let me count the ways" multiple- choice list of improper parking possibilities. And I further do not like being welcomed with a threat about future citations. How would I wish to be welcomed? Easy. With a beautiful, brand new, shiny empty parking space located in a nice, neat, orderly row of other parking spaces. Or with a spot in a ragged row on gravel. Or with just a piece of dirt somewhere around the campus that has a sign in front of it saying WELCOME TO PARK HERE. Even painted orange. I'm easy to please. My vehicle is hardy. It's just not invisible. And it's also not tiny enough to slip into my pack in an improper parking emergency. Freedom of the press is alive Editorial by Jackie Barry TORCH Editor Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peacably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Many readers may recognize this statement. It's the First Amendment to the US Constitution which guarantees freedom of speech and the press. This subject is always important but it's particularly valid to the LCC community this week because this Saturday, Jan. 19, is the third annual national day for observance of Freedom of the Campus Student Press. Jan. 19 was chosen because it coincides with Robert E. Lee's birthday. Lee suggested during his presidency that learning to publish a newspaper was a worthy college educational goal and that courses, especially in production, LETTERS TO THE EDIT( THE EDITOR LETTER~ Is it a mass act of perversity on the part of wayward students to park in random disarray around the fringes of legalized parking when they could be parking in the lots in nice, neat rows? Or is there some more sinister explanation for all this apparently aimless and reckless parking? Can the budgetary and creative ingenuity of the administration be taxed yet another little bit to come up with more parking, or an overthe-hill shuttle, or ... ? I look forward to more parking or to my next birthday, whichever comes first. Marion Mlotok is a student at LCC, and has been welcomed in orange at least once, as of this writing. Conventional conflict and abortions To the Editor: Abortions and the arms race are interconnected issues. Unless we get rid of abortion on demand in America the likelihood of nuclear war will increase. The Soviet Union, and several other Warsaw Pact nations, have undertaken an aggressive program to encourage their people to raise bigger families. In America, 1.5 million children are aborted each year and our birthrate is so low the number of youth is should be in the curriculum. Striving to practice free speech and freedom of the press are valuable endeavors in our society which, although it isn't perfect, is an international haven for ideas that other societies won't allow. Freedom of student press is even more substantial because many student papers receive public money to finance operations. This brings them under administrative and public jurisdiction and in some cases freedom of the press is a harder row to hoe as a result. Historically, administrators at Lane Community College set a fine example for the rest of the country to follow. Former Board of Education member Catherine Lauris set the precedent when the Torch was in its infancy. She ''wrote one little paragraph that simply said there would be no prior restraint of student publications.'' Administrators at LCC continue to recognize the First Amendment rights of the Torch staff. Pete Peterson, our staff advisor, tells a story about an ar- tide that almost ran in the Torch a few years ago. The story ''exposed',. alleged illegal activities performed after hours by the Student Health Services. The story appeared to be legitimate but the accused parties vehemently denied the allegations. The Torch comes under the jurisdiction of Jack Carter, the dean of student services, whose response to the whole mess was - "I'm sure the Torch will do the right thing journalistically. '' As it turned out the story was a complete hoax. But, the Torch was able to go through an important process which forms a basis for viable free speech -- mature decision making. shrinking. Democratic Europe is decreasing as well. The Communist block nations of Europe already have a population exceeding Western Europe and America. If the democratic NATO countries continue to shrink then we'll have to rely more on nuclear weapons for defense. Hey! if we don't have enough young people to maintain conventional forces we'll have no choice. And what about the Third World? If we found ourselves in a conflict with any group of these countries we couldn't keep up a conventional conflict. About 90 per cent of all children born today are in the Third World. If we continue this "civil war'' against our young then we'll pay for it in the future. We very well may be forced into capitulation or nuclear confrontation if current trends continue, and both alternatives would be a nightmare.

All LCC students become members of the Associated Students of Lane Community College by paying the mandatory $3 fee each time they register--therefore is you! ASLCC the $75,000 budget on student services. That percentage is significantly higher than most student government budgets at other Oregon Community colleges. The ASLCC provides these services: • Student Resource Center (SRC) On the second floor of the Center Building, is the central location of many student services. Now under new management, the SRC atmosphere is more inviting and useful to LCC students under Pat Cahill-McLeod's directon. SRC services include: Coffee Wednesday reinstated last fall by Sen. Rob Ward and Communications Director Steve Ramseur, offers students free coffee and tea every Wednesday. A microwave oven is available for use in this area also. We invite you to drop by and enjoy. Informational Bulletin Boards for housing, ride share, text exchange, and child care referr al are maintained by the SRC staff. Perhaps you've wondered what the ASLCC Senate does with your money.

Page 4 January 17-11i, 1985 The Torch Innovator will find challenge and fun elsewhere by Sharen Hulegaard TORCH Staff Writer Seventeen years ago when Howard Dull first became an employee of LCC, he was 40 years old and LCC was a mere babe of 3 -- even the trees that give such a color show to the Fall ~ampus were saplings. Some time during the first week of March this year, Dull will take his retirement as Mechanics Department chairman. After 17 years of eating, breathing, and sleeping LCC, it is reasonable to assume that Howard Dull will feel some pangs as he clears the last of his belongings out of his homey little office in the Mechanics Building, and realizes that it is for the last time. It's equally reasonable to assume the pangs will have disappeared by March 23. It would be difficult to feel too morose basking in the sun on the deck of a cruise ship in the Caribbean, which is exactly where Dull will be on that date. Born in Iowa, graduated from high school in San Francisco, he studied at the University of Idaho and then entered the Army (1944 through early 1946) where, at the tender age of 19 he was appointed Sergeant Major. "That was a biggie for me ... until I found out that being a Sergeant Major is just one heck of a lot of work and a lot of long hoµrs.'' Dist. 4 as a Mechanics Teacher at South Eugene High School. In 1967, while still working at South Eugene, -Dull became a part-time Adult Education Teacher in Mechanics at LCC, a position which evolved into a full-time teaching assignment in 1969. He taught for a total of three years, introducing new concepts to the existing theories of teaching, including developing the first apprenticeship training programs for Dull moved to Oregon in and Automechanics 1947, after his discharge from Autobody.

According to Piercey, ''no one is late anymore." Dull describes the people in his department as being "a very challenging group.

Piercey says "Howard could never accept the fact that we started in September and finished two years later in June. He thought people should be able to start in November, or February, or Friday morning . Whenever they wanted to go to school, that should be the day that they should be allowed to start. As a teacher, an instructor, he started that process. He said 'there's got to be a way to make this work,' and he did." '' Howard is a totally unselfish individual" states Piercey. The individualized modules concept was not just his idea for his department -- it was an educational concept that he felt could be developed and used by educators in many fields. Examples of the application of his concept are the Vocational Communications in the Language Arts Department, and Individualized Music Studies in the Performing Arts Department. Dull's innovative work in the field of Individualized Learning Modules also brought him a one-year assignment to the State Department of Education for a state-wide project on the developement of teaching strategies. Services Rrovided one dar each week His Individualized Learning Package concept earned him recognition throughout the Northwest. He started it at Lane and then trained people at other community colleges around the state: LinnBen ton, Umpqua, and Southwestern Oregon. Then, according to Piercey, ''word got out and Oregon State University came here and tried to hire him. He said 'No, I'll just do it for you -- I have time. Have them (instructors) come on Saturdays. I'll take care of it,' and he did.'' Insurance Adjusting: Nationally Known Program "LCC is the only two-year institution in the United States that trains baccalaureate-level insurance adjustors" states Piercey. "Howard thought that was pretty neat so he started calling people, and he's traveled from Boston to the Southern tips of California talking to Insurance Adjusting Companies, trying to convince them to go to their local community colleges to initiate the program that we have -- and they've done it. 1hey tried to pay him for -it but he always declined payment . . . he just said 'if you'd buy my ticket that would be nice.'

The downtown clinic, which is partially subsidized by student body fees, is being offered in the hopes of providing more access for students who might otherwise have difficulty getting to the SHS office on the LCC main campus, according to Sandra Ing, director of SHS.

According to Bev Behrman, LCC's Women's Program Director, the program at the downtown center will offer some of the same services that the Women's Center on the main campus has: giving information and referring peo- ~ pie to the appropriate places for problems ranging from battering and rape to housing and financial aid.

Editor's note: This is the first of a four part series documenting the history of LCC's contruction. From its humble beginning at 200 North Monroe in Eugene and South Fourth in Springfield in 1964, LCC grew to be a leader in Oregon community colleges. On Sept. 20, 1966 voters in Lane County went to the polls to approve a $9.9 million tax base for construction of a two-year community college campus. With enrollment outgrowing its present locations, LCC needed a larger, centrally located campus. Five sites were considered for the campus - the east shore of Fern Ridge Lake, adjacent to the Mahlon Sweet Airport Terminal, the Shelly property where 1-5 meets 1-10~, downtown Cottage Grove, and the Russell creek site at the end of East 30th Ave. LCC Board of Education members decided on the Russell Creek site because, according to former Presidential Assistant Bert Dotson, 90 percent of the district Grading and terracing on the site was done by the C and H Durbin Company.

The donation of 100 acres of land by Eugene industrialist Wilford H. Gonyea was another deciding factor. Gonyea also offered the college a chance to purchase an additional 100 acres at half the appraised value.

Some things to think about this past football season, before you make your final decision and go ahead and get snackered at the pre-game party: • Miami Dolphins' quarterback Dan Marino -- in only his second NFL season -- shattered the single-season touchdown passes record with 47. • The San Francisco 49ers won a record 15 single season ~'l.J ~...,oo to: c_\,~ 0~ 'tr-J ~0-s, ~~ «.°'(., \O" Pro Football games, losing only once. • Miami quarterback Dan Marino became the first NFL quarterback to ever throw for more than 5,000 yards in a single season. • Chicago Bears' running back Walter Payton put former NFL great Jim Brown's all-time rushing record way-out-of-reach. And Payton's legs are still kicking, too. • Chicago's defense crushed the NFL's single season sack record, posting 72 headhunts. • Los Angeles Rams' star running back Eric Dickerson -in only his sophomore NFL season -- broke former NFL great O.J. Simpson's single season rushing record of 2,003 yards. Need I say more? The 1984-85 NFL season has been one of records and amazing feats. So why think this year's Super Bowl will be any different? The 49ers are the first team to ever play a Super Bowl in its home town, and the Miami Dolphins -- not to mention the 49ers -- have created the most efficient offensive machine in decades, if not ever. Folks, this year's Super Bowl is going to be a watcher, not a sleeper. In the words of the famous CBS commentator John Madden, "They're going to get dirty, throw the ball, run the ball, grunt, push, shove, and, yes, even some will have their shirts untucked." That's football American style. Super Bowl XIX will live up to its billing. With San Francisco's specialized defense, and Coach Bill Walsh's mastermind offense, headed by all-pro quarterback Joe Montana, and the partisan crowd, that should be enough to make it enticing. But, hey, the Dolphins aren't bad either. They're great. The Dolphin defense, led by ironman Coach Don Shula, and linebacker A.J. Duhe, can knock heads with the best, too. The only position these two teams aren't even at is kicker. Miami's Uwe von Schamman has had a kicker's nightmare season, while the FortyNiner's Ray Wersching remains a kicking machine. Take the 49ers by one, off a Ray Wersching field goal in sudden death overtime.

Smoot's defense provides offense for women cagers by Ron Gullberg TORCH Sports Editor LCC guard Dawn Smoot likes to play defense. But if you think you can let her slip on offense -- think again she'll shoot the lights out. Smoot, a starter and team captain, is the Titan's utility person, and when Head Coach Sue Thompson needs the other team's top player stymied she calls for her 5' 8" 'hit-man.' '' I don't like to see people get by me,'' Smoot simply said. "I play as hard as I can." But Smoot can also score like the best. "Dawn is our floor leader,'' said Thompson. "She plays awesome at both ends of the court.'' Dawn likes to be pushed. She loves being told to get boards against six-footers," said Thompson. Sports Profile Thompson noted Smoot's dedication to her game: ''You can see her in the gym working on her shot in the morning and at lunch-time. She clearly puts her team over herself.'' "I'd like to improve my jumpshot," said Smoot. "I want to be shooting 45 to 50 percent." Smoot prepped at Silverton High School in Salem, and she has never second-guessed her choice to play at Lane. "The coaches here (at Lane) work with us real well. I've noticed that I have more awareness of what's happening on the court." The funny thing is, opposing players are more aware of Smoot.

At first, office workers ignored the congenial animal, obviously someone's workers "take care" of a very small part of it.

Community Ed workers began feeding "Mom," who later gave birth to three kittens. They later caught "Mom" and had her spayed, but her babies were just too fast to be caught. The kittens quickly multiplied into at least - three generations of black cats. Now there is a growing cat population on the LCC campus and Community Ed warmth. "We're now on our third house--the first two were stolen--and we've secured this one to a heavy weight. We are the only Oregon community college I know of to have a house for cats," says Fausone. Unfortunately, awareness of "the house" may be the cause of even more cats being dumped at LCC. Some live under the Apprenticeship Annex Building-known as the "Pizza Hut"--"Little Mom," one of "Mom's" babies, had her kit- tens there. Many of the "Pizza Hut'' cats will come and eat in the Community Ed area. But feeding cats on a daily basis is expensive. Trisha Fuller, a records clerk in the High School Completion Program, has had the primary responsiblity of 'the feline friends for two years, while she, Fausone, and Debbie Powers, an Adult Basic Education secretary, share the costs. Many LCC faculty members have also donated money to feed the cats and have them spayed or neutered. Fuller fed five cats during the day and even more at night. "We don't know exactly how many cats eat at night, but it may easily be a dozen or more,'' says Fausone. The nocturnal diners are not all "Mom's" cats. Some are ''wild'' cats that come for the free food and others are pets that have been dumped on campus. all the cats. They are renting cages from the Greenhill Humane Society in order to trap the remaining family members and take them to the humane society. "We hope they can be tamed and adopted, but we fear they will be exterminated," says Fausone. The special cage re- quires a $30 refundable deposit and a $2 daily rental fee per cage. Fuller and Fausone indicated they could use some help to cover the temporary costs of trapping the remaining family -- before the remaining offspring create even more unofficial campus mascots.

And for her they may have even more significance. Next week Tracy will leave Eugene for Honduras as a Fuller and Fausone try to find homes for the animals. In the fall of 1983, Fausone and co-worker Judy North placed a "Cabbage Patch Cat" ad in the Daily.

LCC students receive award by Margaret Beckett TORCH Staff Writer Two first year students at LCC, Shannon Trucke and Natalin Goodrich, received the Wes Thayer A ward "for outstanding public service in preventing alcohol abuse" at a special ceremony held in Portland on Dec. 8, 1984. The award, presented by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, recognized their efforts in organizing, and maintaining Concerned High School Student's Alternative to Drugs, a drug awareness program to educate their fell ow students at Churchill High School, and Kennedy and Jefferson Junior High Schools. The two first became interested in creating the program after viewing the film ''The Chemical People'' in health class -- which presented examples of drug dependent children. for concern Their themselves and other students grew, and they proposed organizing a group to improve awareness of the drug and alcohol abuse problems at Churchill High School. Many teachers and staff members didn't believe there was any "real" drug use problem. To convince the faculty and staff of the worth of their project, Trucke and Goodrich cautiously estimated 85 percent of the student body acchemical used tively substances. Shocked, the faculty demanded verification. A student survey proved the estimate to be accurate. As a direct result of their efforts, a 14-year old ninth grader received medical care which probably saved her from fatal alcohol poisoning. A teacher, suspicious of the girl's giddy behavior, followed her into a restroom, and then took her to the nurse's office. Shortly after arriving in the office, the girl collapsed, and her blood pressure plummeted, necessitating atropine injections to stimulate her blood pressure. The instructor's enhanced awareness and action prevented the girl's death, and helped to convince the STEAMCO CARPET CLEANERS 10 percent off for January. 746-4020.

Trucke and Goodrich were credited with saving the ninth grader's life. The program's structure involved four group leaders -Trucke, Goodrich, Melissa Vilvin, and Keith Stewart. Beginning with a presentation to assemblies of 60 to 100 students which featured a modified version of ''The Funniest Joke in the World" -a comedy about a drunken man, the assembly returned to classrooms where each leader further educated students during a question and answer period which included role playing and questionnaires. Students were taught to say "no" when subjected to peer pressure, and then given ''no thank you" buttons they could wear to openly express their views, and reinforce the program's message. Trucke and Goodrich feel their success is due in part to their experience, and their new interest in preventing substance abuse, "you can't teach what you haven't been through yourself,'' they observed. The program has since been turned over to the school for continuation, and similar programs aimed at grade school children are being developed. ~oo~oo:r £vlJEN£ ' 5 ~ ~1VR4 L. n),:,~$ ~/e€S'f",t«,l?,4N7"/ ~9 Wi'll4711el~e., ( Mxr n> OP:AJ~ 7?1E AM7tf~~ -5mrJb"') BAM n-l~IA qf>,,,._ - ci6S~l> tLIES.
