New .mainframe computer system
will update LCC's data processing
by Ellen Platt
TORCH Associate Editor
On Jan. 16, the LCC Board
of Education approved the
purchase of a new mainframe
computer for the college.
- The new computer, a
Honeywell DPS-4 7, will
replace the current system, a
Honeywell Sigma 6, which has
been in operation since 1973.
A five year purchase option
with the Honeywell Corporation will provide hardware,
software, and maintenance on
the computer for $294,944 a
year. LCC pays $165,000 per
year for the present system.
Jim Keizur, director of the
Data Processing Department,
says ''From a maintenance
standpoint we needed to do
something.'' Increasing maintenance costs, difficulty in obtaining parts and software for
the current system, and an increasing need for computer
services led the college to accept proposals for a new
system.
Over the past eight months
the college received proposals
from five vendors before
deciding the Honeywell proposal was most advantageous.
Keizur adds the up-to-date
system will also allow '' LCC
to take advantage of new software offerings."
LCC's mainframe computer

week, 24 hours a day -- provides support to college users

Research for Black History

"You can't get this information out of textbooks," says
Jaimila Donaldson, referring to the short biographies she and
Fellow Multi-Cultural Center (MCC) student Elizabeth Carre
have assembled to commemorate Black History Month.
According to Donaldson, the goal of Black History Month is
to increase awareness of the wide variety of contributions by
black Americans to society. Donaldson and Carre focused their
research specifically on black people who have worked in areas
corresponding to the 16 vocational and academic departments
on the LCC campus.
During_ each of February's four weeks brief biographies
spotlighting significant black people will appear in the Torch. (The first of the series begins on page 4.)

Neanderthals strike again

Don't leave your belongings alone
Another LCC student fell
victim last week to opportunity theft by a Neanderthal.
Editorial by Jackie Barry
Her book pack was stolen
from a cafeteria table where
she left it when she went to
buy lunch. The contents of the
bag were $100 worth of new
textbooks and a notebook
with three weeks' worth of information. This woman
doesn't have an extra hundred
dollars to replace the books,
nor will she be able to fully
replace the notes ·she's accumulated until this time. She
is out of luck.
I'm inclined to agree with
Art Instructor David Joyce
who calls campus thieves
(who've stolen everything
from brand new video
recorders to coffee pots)
''Neanderthals.''
Business Instructor Joan
Ryan wanted to loan her a
book but couldn't because she
and two other instructors had
already lent their books to
students who'd had their
books stolen as well.

Although this type of theft,
as well as theft from
automobiles, is relatively low
on campus ''LCC is just like
Eugene or Springfield,''
Security Manager Paul Chase
told me. "You can't set your
property down and expect it to
remain intact.''
Chase offers some standard
advice for LCC community
members -- don't leave your
belongings unlocked and unattended; don't "make a display
like Macy's" in the interior of
your car; and if you lock
things in the trunk, be conscious of whether there are
people around to see you do it.
Chase says it isn't difficult to
break into a trunk -- especially
if the risk is worth the assessed
value of the belongings.
Despite this advice, the very
idea still disturbs me. Stealing
To the Editor:
from anyone is ethically
wrong. But LCC students tend
to be a low-income group and
stealing someone's books
shows a total lack of consideration for this plight.
Maybe the thief had a
desperate need for money. But
is that a valid excuse for an unquestionable disregard for
another person's "ituation?
No way.
No amount of sob stories
will stop this problem, unfortunately, but the enlightened
members of our community
can try to be more aware of
"Neanderthal" behavior.
"Security is a community
effort," says Chase. He suggests calling Security, at ext.

suspicious. Or if you catch someone in the act ''pleasantly
remind them it's not a good
idea.''

Window in the Classroom teaches instructors
by Allan Smolker
TORCH Staff Writer
The gathering appears to be
a routine class. But the 14 people in a LCC classroom are
members of Lane,s faculty
and staff.
The speaker is Dick Eno, an
LCC business instructor.
"What rve decided to do
today is to take a mini-area
out of my Introduction to
Business Class.,,
Eno speaks of the free enterprise system, and is an enthusiatic • pitchman, "There
are just so many investments
out there . . . this is our free
enterprise system. We,ve got.
. . products to fill your needs
whatever they are. ,,
This mini-class is part of
"Window
into
the
Classroom": a series of lectures presented by LCC instructors for LCC staff.
Math Instructor Jill McKenney, who initiated the
"Classroom" series, and who
taught the first class says, "It
(Window into the Classroom)
is a chance •for LCC instructors to share the interesting,
creative, exciting, things that
we do in class with the rest of
the staff.''
According to McKenney,
''Window'' started because
two years ago, she was on the
Selection Committee for the
Teacher of the Year Award.
And when she spoke to
students and department
heads about the nominees for
the award, ''The students were
raving about these teachers
and the department heads
were glowing in their feelings
about (the nominees for the
award) . . . It was frustrating
because we're supposed to
pick (just) one person ... It is a
really good feeling to be working in an institution where
there are people who are so
highly thought of. And you
people." But, at the time,
McKenney says, there was no
way to do that.
McKenney says she wanted
to ''sample other instructors
around the campus, both to
keep (her) own enthusiasm up
and to know what (was
available) at LCC."

also.
"I probably didn't get a true
picture of the teaching techniques, ... because teachers are
teaching other teachers,'' says
Instructor Frank Rossini of
the Study Skills Center. But he
also thought the series worthwhile. Rossini attended
Eno's class, and was out of his
element, ''There was a lot of
vocabulary that was being
tossed out that I didn't know.
(For this reason) I was having
a hard time following (Eno's)
ideas. It made me aware. In
my classes, I need to be
double-checking (to be sure
my students understand) the
vocabulary I am using.''
Rossini says he got insights
into his own teaching by watching Eno teach. But he also
learned: "I'm getting to be

to quell the growing demand
for democracy.
According to Maria, the
Allende government is still
revered by Chile's poor people. "The poor were always
backing Allende because he
was taking care of them. It
was the first time in my country that a president was so concerned with education and
literacy.''
While
the

American's interest in Chile
may be peripheral at best, to
Maria S. (not her real name), a
Chilean student attending
LCC, events in this South
American country are very important.
In 1973 the democratically
elected Socialist government
of Salvador Allende was overthrown by the Chilean armed
forces, turning the country into a military dictatorship.
Chile had been one of the most
stable democracies in Latin
America.
Subsequent hearings by the
US Senate Select Committee
implicated the CIA in the
planning and financing of the
coup. The hearings revealed ·
that President Richard Nixon
had, in effect, given the CIA a
blank check to "get Allende."
The minimum wage is now only $30 a month and people

Augosto Pinochet), unrest in
Chile is reaching a boiling

"I feel sorry for the

they are killing their own people. They get drafted and then
they become like animals._
They get brainwashed. After
that, they think they're allpowerful. They've been told
that the enemy is outside (the
military), that it is their aunt
or uncle and they must be killed because they are Communist."
''They (the government)

Mt. Hood Community
College organizes Ski Ball
for 14 Oregon colleges
by Ellen Platt
TORCH Associate Editor
Next Monday, Feb. 4, LCC
students will have a chance to
ski with students from 14
other Oregon colleges.
The ASLCC Cultural
Forum is sponsoring a ski bus
to Mt. Hood Meadows, and
offering LCC students the
chance to ski, dance, and play
for a minumum of $4.50.
ASLCC President Cindy
Weeldreyer says the Ski Ball
was organized by Mt Hood
Community College. She adds
"Usually the Cultural Forum
offers educational events, but
we'd also like to have some
•fun things along the way.''
Tickets, lessons, and rentals
Although the bus ride is
free, all persons going to the
Ski Ball must purchase a $4.50
ski lift ticket -- even if they
aren't going to ski -- and sign
two waiver forms to be admitted to the ski area.
Students may purchase
these services no later than Friday, Feb. 1, at 5 p.m., at the
Student Resource Center (on
the main floor of the Center
Building near the library entrance) on a cash only, norefund basis.
People may rent skis or take
lessons for $4.50 each at Mt.
Hood Meadows.
Fun and Food
The skiing begins at 4 p.m.
on Feb. 4, and continues until
10 p.m. Four lifts and the rope
tow will operate. Hour-and-ahalf ski lessons will begin at
4:30 p.m., 6 p.m., and 7:30
p.m.
The dance and other entertainment (a· tug-of-war, ice
and snow sculpting, and a keg
toss) begin at 6 p.m., and also
continue until 10 p.m.
Mt. Hood Community College will organize free ski races
for skiers of all levels from 7
to 10 p.m.
Ski Bowl participants
should bring their own meals.
Food (a buffet, burgers, pizza,
and hot dogs, ranging in cost
from 75 cents to $2. 75) will be
served beginning at 6 p.m.
Free soft drinks and popcorn
will be provided, and beer,
wine, and all other drinks will
be available at low prices.
Getting There
The LCC bus leaves the
south parking lot at 12: 15
p.m. sharp on Monday, and
returns to LCC between 2:30
and 3:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
Weeldryer says LCC's insurance policy forbids the bus
dropping off passengers on the
return trip, so she advises participants to plan a ride home
from the LCC campus.
There will be some space on
the bus for ski gear, and an
ASLCC office will be
available to secure equipment
during Monday morning
classes -- all personal equipment must have the owner's
name and phone number on it. ,

Benjamin Banneker - Surveyor
Benjamin Banneker, born in
Mary4tnd, received a limited·
education at a Quaker school
near Joppa, Maryland.
His major reputation stems
from his service as surveyor on
the six-man team which helped
lay out the blue prints for
Washington D.C. When the
chairman of the committee,
Major L'Enfant, resigned and
returned to France with the
plans, Banneker's precise
memory enabled him to
reproduce the plans in their
entirety.
He is also known for his
mechanical inventiveness,
which led him to construct the
first clock made in America,
which kept time accurately for
more than 20 years.
He also worked on many
mathematical computations,
including the prediction of the
cycle of the seventeen-year
locust, and the prediction of
the solar eclipse of 1789. He

Industrial Tech.
Thomas Day - Industrial Tech.
Thomas Day was a creator
of fine furniture.
His mother sent him, at the
age of 10, to deliver farm produce to one of the prominent
families in his community -Milton, North Carolina.
The lady of the house took
him to the parlor to hear the
melodeon played. He became
so absorbed with the richly
carved antiques from the old
world that he hardly heard the
music.
Upon his return home, he
reproduced a footstool he had
seen in the room, carving it in
walnut with a small knife. His
mother showed it to the family
who, recognizing his ability,
made sure he was trained in
the fundamentals of cabinet
making.
For three years he studied in
Boston and Washington and
by 1878 he was producing the
first mahogany furniture for
sale in his community. In
1923, he purchased an old
yellow brick tavern, which he
converted into a factory. His
furniture was greatly in demand among the wealthy
Southerners along the Atlantic
seaboard. For 30 years he had
a flourishing trade, and trained both black and white boys
as apprentices.

Chemistry
Percy Julian - Chemist
The research of Dr. Julian
helped create derivative drugs
which are in widespread use by
people who suffer from arthritis.
Born in Alabama in 1898,
Julian attended DePauw
University. He lived in a
fraternity house attic where he
also worked as a waiter.
Despite this he graduated Phi
Beta Kappa and was valedictorian of his class.
For several years he taught
at Fisk and Howard Universities, before attending Harvard and the University of
Vienna.
He later headed the soybean
research department of the
Glidden Company and then
formed Julian Laboratories in
order to specialize in the production of sterols which he extracted from the oil of the soybean.
The method perfected by
Dr. Julian eventually lowered
the cost of sterols and
ultimately enabled millions of
people suffering from arthritis
to obtain relief through the use
of cortisone, a sterol
derivative, at a price within
their means.
In 1935 Julian synthesized
the drug phusostigmine, which
is used today in the treatment
of glaucoma.

Construction of the campus at the 30th Ave. site

The Administration and Health Tech. Buildings were completed Dec. 4, 1968.
LCC was the first Oregon
community college to begin
construction of 13-14
buildings simultaneously. This
innovative idea allowed
students to begin classes in
Sept. 1968 on a campus that
was almost finished with ten
buildings completed. It also
permitted the college to move
equipment and offices to the
campus from several scattered, temporary sites.
During the process of
designing the campus the LCC
Board of Education traveled
to selected community colleges
in the nation to learn not what
they did right, but what they
would have done differently if
they were planning the campus
again.
The one thing that always
seemed to come up, according
to Bert Dotson, former assistant to the president, was a
way to make utility lines and
pipes easily accessible to repair
crews. The solution: Build a
series of tunnels connecting all
the buildings on campus.
As a result, there is over one
mile of tunneling under LCC' s
campus which not only houses
utility lines but could be used
for a fallout shelter. According to Dotson there are provisions for a few thousand people if the need should arise.
Five construction companies received contracts for
the construction of the campus. The companies were V.A.

columns made by the Morris
Bros. in Harrisburg and shipped to LCC for the foundations.
Even though the campus
was not completed, classes
began that September with
students wading through mud
to get to classes.
With a price tag of over $3
million, the Center Building
was clearly the most costly and
largest of all. It had a floor
space of four acres and it took
the equivalent of one boxcar
of carpet to cover the floors.

While LCC's Administration offices scratch their
heads, wondering why enrollment has declined, women's
track coach Lyndell Wilken
looks at her depleted crew and
feels the repercussions.
Wilken began last fall's
cross country season with an
unusually low turnout, which,
coupled with distance runner
Jennifer Pade's sudden intention to quit last week, left her,
too, wondering.
"Jennifer's loss leaves our
distances questionable,'' said
Wilken. "Our sprints are the
same. We need three or four
more to take the pressure of
the few (sprinters) we have."
''Our throws are adequate,
but we don't even have a high
jumper," Wilken added.
"This really is a first for us."
"Our team is actually
almost as large as the ones we
had five years ago when we
won championships (in the
Oregon Community College
Athletic Association), but now
the NWAACC competition
won't let you get by with just a
select few. You need depth."

The squad's regular season

the team is involved in pre,season activities. February
22-24 the men's and women's
teams will travel to Sacramento to compete with four
California junior colleges.
''This is the fourth time
we've gone down there
(Sacramento)," said Wilken.
"We really enjoy it. We don't
meet the inclement weather
like we do traveling to an indoor meet in Moscow, Id."
''The Sacramento meet is

Shari Rose (30) put in 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds against Linn-Benton C.C.
Titans look for consistency
by Ron Gullberg
TORCH Sports Editor
It was just like Warner Brothers' Wiley
Coyote story -- the Roadrunner got away
once again -- as LCC lost to the Linn-Benton
Roadrunners in Albany Wednesday, Jan.
23, 71-58.
But LCC put its game into high gear
Saturday, Jan. 26 at Umpqua, winning
69-56, after suffering four consecutive
Region IV League losses.
"I was really pleased to have both ends of
our game working (Saturday)," said Lane
Head Coach Sue Thompson.
Roadrunners take a 36-21 halftime advantage.
But in the second half the Titans took the
'ACME Defense Manual' and stuffed the
Roadrunners 37-35 -- not enough to catch
LBCC's wide early lead -- with the presence
of Shari Rose at center (22 points, 11 rebounds).
Lane overcomes Umpqua
The Titans held Umpqua to seven field
goals in the first half, holding a 37-23 advantage at intermission.
Umpqua outscored Lane in the second
half, 33-32, but couldn't keep up with the
Women's Basketball
''Against Chemeketa (Jan. 19) our offense
broke down (LCC lost 69-61). Against LinnBenton our defense broke down (71-58 loss).
But against Umpqua we had it all together,"
added Thompson.
LBCC tops Titans
''Linn-Benton was carried by Natalia Keys
(guard)," said Lane Head Coach Sue
Thompson. "She's obviously got
playground moves -- double pumps,
360-degree reverses -- and she got jumpshots
over our post,'' added Thompson.
Lane's defense was tentative, letting the

Portland is becoming a major U.S. city and, face it folks,
is the major heartbeat of the
whole state of Oregon. The
dome would not only enhance
the football team's position,
but would be a plus for the
state as a whole.
The City of Tacoma has
built a dome and the once
more experienced Titans.
Liz Turner led the Titans with 16 points
while collecting 10 rebounds. Rose netted 11
points, and guard Dee Vinberg chipped-in
14. Dawn Smoot brought down seven rebounds.
The win upped Lane's league record to 3-4
and its overall record to 10-7, improving its
bid for post-season play.

homework and one of our goals is 'Lane

domed

by Ron Gullberg
TORCH Sports Editor
A year ago, Portla~d's Civic
Stadium was a seldom used,
cobwebbed albatross -- that
had just been refurbished at
the taxpayers' expense.
The defunct Portland
Timbers North American Soccer League franchise, Civic's
main tennant, left the newly
painted, re-roofed arena
hollow and empty, except for
the Pacific Coast League
Portland Beavers and high
school football.
But, with the emergence of
the United States Football
League's Portland Breakers,
the city of Portland, and the
state of Oregon now find
themselves with a number of
choices:
• Risk using the small,
prehistoric facility (compared
to modern, big city stadiums)
for Portland's, no, Oregon's
first real big-league franchise.
The above decision would
leave Portland in the dark if
the USFL and powerhouse
Commentary
NFL decide to merge, since ·the
32,000 seat capacity is far
below the NFL' s requirements.
• The state could use tax
money to expand Civic
Stadium, but there is only
enough room to make it as
large as the smallest NFL
stadium, and it wouldn't be

bartender and a bowlegged
sheriff and even a group involved with "Praisercise" -- a
"lose a pound for God" exercise group that dubs working
out the buttocks as ''Turn the

The play incorporated song

lines. Because there are more

by Peter Porter
TORCH Staff Writer
This Friday, Feb. 1, the Titan Pep Band will be sponsoring a dance to be held in the lobby of the PE Building. The
dance will begin after the basketball game and will last until 1 a.m. Music will be provided by Skyline Professional
DJ Service, and refreshments will be made available by the
ASLCC .
Sue Thompson, LCC athletic director, hopes the dance
will inspire a large turnout for the basketball game. The
game will be the first performance for the newly formed
Titan Pep Band, and the dance will be the first of its kind
this year. Admission to the dance is free.

This scene opens the play
"La Follie Bourgeois" which
began on Jan. 25 and continues through Feb. 1 and Feb.
2.
The scene was originally
written by Roberts for a
KLCC Radiothon two years
ago. Then two months ago,
Roberts got together with a
group of six and asked them
''what they wanted to do on
stage." Mixed Pieces (the
name the group goes by) then
wrote this play that Roberts
felt was "a real group effort."
"La Follie Bourgeois" was

''Our AA Officer is Eldon
Schafer, our president,'' states
Behrman. "He takes that
charge and passes it down the
line to the vice presidents, who
pass it down to the deans . . .
. '' From there this charge, to
implement AA policies, goes
on to the department heads
and instructors.
''The model that we work
under is seen as AA being the
responsibility of everyone."
Behrman continues, "We
don't have any one person
who's in charge of implementation."
Some six years ago, when
the college had a separate Affirmative Action officer in tl.e
position of overseeing AA implementation, it did't work
out, says Behrman.
Is it worth another try?
"I would like to see someone with the exclusive
responsibility of following AA
laws and implementation.

"Affirmative Action is part
of a double-edged sword,"
states Gorham. "The first
edge is 'non-discrimination' -statements made that the college, business, or institution
will not discriminate on the
basis of certain things.''
The other '' edge of the
sword" goes further than simple non-discrimination -- it
asks "what, then, are you going to do for those groups that
have traditionally been
discriminated against? -- and
that's where AA steps in," he
explains.
AA guidelines do not allow
passivity -- they require that
assertive steps be taken to rectify past situations of
discrimination by active
recruitment of students and
employees, and training, hiring, and promoting employees
who fit into any of the minority or special equity categories,
at all job levels.
"It is important to point out
that AA is not limited to
blacks," emphasizes Gorham.
"It pertains to a whole host of
other groups: All ethnic

Gorham has been an LCC
employee for only one year
now, and says he's "not really
knowledgeable enough to say
'yes, they've met AA goals,'
or 'no, they haven't.' "
"I have seen that there is at
least a willingness to hear new
ideas, a willingness to consider
areas that have not been considered in the past as falling
under AA needs."
For example, he says the
AA Compliance Review Committee has recommended that
LCC establish similar goals
and review procedures for
part-time employees as have
been established for full-time
employees.
When asked to summarize
her overall feeling about how
AA is implemented on the
campus, Behrman reflects,
''There has been a softening of
AA under the Reagan Administration, based on some
court decisions that have been
made ....
''What I feel very good
about is th,at this institution
continues to maintain its commitment to AA -- that it is part
of our college goals." Paus-
