''Most of the information we got was from people who were at the university at the time of the occupation," which she says took place in 1980 when the Salvadoran military occupied the National University for four years. "They came in with helicopters, ground troops and tanks. They surrounded the university and rounded up students and shot them. Those students who could flee, fled. Because the students had just left on a term break, no one knows who or how many were present during the occupation.

Braverman said one of the reasons for the tour was to document the destruction of the university. "We wanted to get a full idea of the intensity of the struggle and I think that . we really did."

'' Black students enjoy relaxed and friendly feeling on LCC campus TORCH Staff Writer Do black students at LCC feel at a disadvantage because they arc a minority here? The overwhelming response to this question is "No, we don't." Of the approximately 7,000 students attending LCC, as of Fall term only 68 were black -making blacks the smallest minority group on campus. Yet, all 10 students interviewed informally last week said they feel very comfortable at LCC. Some of the students, who have experienced discrimination in the past, were amazed at the relaxed, friendly atmosphere on campus. "There isn't that tense feeling here. I don't feel ' like I have to keep up some image,'' said J amaila Donaldson, a second . term science major. Most of the students chose LCC over other schools because of its reputation as a good institution. But, even students such as Deirdre Thomas (majoring in commercial art and sports medicine) and Lestor Jackson (a psychology and business major) for whom LCC was a second choice, now say they are glad they ended up here. "I would recommend LCC to anybody,'' said Thomas. While there is a closeness ,among black students at LCC ("We're really aware of each other because there are so few of us," said Thomas) students don't feel they have to exclude Braverman claims the El Salvador government thought students there "were arming other students to build an army to fight the government i l -',,11.&.~. . .llli!II...___..._~_ __,...,,,,._..

But Braverman says the university is just a place for autonomy for students -- a place to agree to disagree.'' According to Braverman, the government searched, found nothing, but destroyed the university. She claims it took material from the archives, broke windows and burned books. ''They literally took ceilings off the roofs,'' she says. Her sources told her a nearby branch of the medical school for upper division medical students in San Salvador, across from the hospital, was also occupied and destroyed.

The Zone 3 seat· represents the Marcola and Springfield school districts. The seat currently is held by Charlene Curry, a Springfield resident who has filed for re-election. Curry, who has been on the LCC board since 1978, is director of governmental relations at the University of Oregon. The LCC Board of Education is composed of seven elected, nonpaid members who have primary authority to establish policies governing the _operation of the college and to adopt the college's annual budget. Their charge is to encourage the development of programs and services which they believe will best serve the needs of people in the LCC district. The board holds public meetings on the second Wednesday of each month. Additional meetings are held as needed. The LCC board terms are for four years. Board members must reside in the zone they seek to represent, but are elected on a districtwide vote.

Box 44134 Florence, Arizona 85232 It is only the beginning Dear Editor, I would like to express my utter disrespect of abortion clinjcs here in Eugene. I do not believe women and young girls are counseled properly. It is my belief that the number of married couples longing to Suicidal tendencies adopt these babies is not stressed enough. These babies are very much wanted and have the potential for all the love, acceptance, and security that good parents can give. To the Editor: Okay, so I don't run. I admit it. I live in "Track Town" and I don't run. So somebody tell me, why do runners run in the street? I was always under the impression that a soft surface is desirable for running .. . why else would Eugene Parks and Recreation put so much effort and money into the path at Amazon? I have heard that blacktop is softer than concrete, but I have seen enough runners on concrete to nix that as a reason to run in the road. So is it some suicidal tendency in these people who run through traffic? For example, along Gonyea Road, (which has little enough room for cars and busses), is a very nice, little path. Someone All too often women have believed that abortion is the right thing to do and that it will remedy the problem at hand. Abortion causes emotional strain and physical effects that can both last a lifetime. These are women who will never get over the effect of an abortion. It is my prayer and utmost hope that abortion clinics here and everywhere will cease to operate. For too many doctors abortion is only a way of making good money. Abortion is cruel and is a crime. It is not the solution to unhappiness. It is only the beginning. Sincerely, Corinna J. Crim Hi-tech of the past featured 1n WISTEC show • Review by Ellen Platt TOR CH Associate Editor "Yesterday's Tomorrows: Past Visions of the American Future," a traveling Smithsonian exhibit, began a 10-week showing in Eugene last Saturday. The exhibit -- organized by the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) and underwritten by Champion International -- is on a two-year, nine-stop tour of the U.S. The WISTEC showing is the exhibit's only Northwest stop, and will run Feb.2 through April 14. WISTEC was suggested as a site for the exhibit by Champion International because the corporation has regional headquarters in the area. Featuring more than 300 models, illustrations, adver- tisements, toys, industrial designs, film clips, and photographs documenting 100 years of visions of the future, director of the Oregon Museum Park (OMP, which is cosponsoring the exhibit with WISTEC), said of the exhibit ''everytime I look at it I see something new.'' Categories covered in the show are: Transportation; community; toys, books, and games; advertising; warfare; and the home. The items on display -- on loan from private collections nationwide -- range from models of futuristic atomic powered cars, to toy robots, to Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion House model, to illustrations of conventional applications of nuclear weapons. ~ Daly says 1300 people ~ visited the exhibit over the ~ weekend of Feb. 1 and 2.

Carole Daly, executive LCC's Food Service Program gets rave reviews for catered event by Richard Ho TORCH Staff Writer On Friday, Feb. 1, VIP guests invited to a private opening of "Yesterday's Tomorrows" - an exhibit co-sponsored by the Oregon Museum Park and WISTEC - were ushered to the Stadium Club for a special reception catered by students of LCC's Food Service Program. WISTEC had approached caterers from the community for estimates of the cost of the reception. Finding that the prices were too high, WISTEC contacted LCC -- and a figure of $3 per head landed the contract for the Food Service Program. i ! ~ has kindly been improving this path, but most runners seem to prefer taking their chances with the traffic.

Because of the wild cat's fear of humans, it's just not wise to attempt catching the animals with bare hands, as two LCC employees discovered last month. As reported in Jan. I 7's TORCH, in December an untamed kitten bit Donna - Morgan and Joanne Payne while they tried to rescue the animal from a garbage dumpster where it was apparently feeding. Morgan and Payne had tetanus shots as a result of their kindhearted, but unrequited efforts. Since the "wild" cat Tour----'cont. rrom page u "During the occupation, the military had two clandestine jails in the university, she reports.'' Yet Braverman says students there told her " 'We are students and we are concerned about the future of higher education in (our) population may be growing, LCC residents should take care in attempting to handle what appear to be friendly cats on campus. Alive_, well, and at Greenhill ''The kitten was frightened, not viscious,'' says Carmen, the volunteer manager of Greenhill Humane Society where Morgan and Payne took the cat. "It bit right through my heavy glove when it arrived. But," she adds with pride, ''within 24 hours I could pet it." He'll remain at Greenhill until accustomed to people, then hopefully, be adopted. For future LCC rescue attempts, Carmen says the right equipment makes capturing the cats safer and easier. She recommends using traps, country.' '' concludes She ''Considering conditions in that country, that is a really strong statement for them to make." Editor's note: This is the first of three articles about Braverman 's trip. heavy leather gloves, and a gunny sack or old pillow case for a rescue. Greenhill has cat carriers and cage-like traps available to rent. The best method to transport a cat to Greenhill is to transfer the animal from the trap to a pillow case or gunny sack using heavy gloves. ''Once inside the bag, a cat feels safe and secure, thinks it is hiding, and travels well," she says. Once A Cat is Caught, Then What? Pet owners are often confused about whether to bring animals to Greenhill or to the Lane County Animal Regulation Authority (LCARA). Carmen says better facilities for cats bring more stray cats to Greenhill than to LCARA, but according to law, all stray dogs must be brought to LCARA. Funding sources determine the policies for the two animal shelters. The tax-funded LCARA is responsible for animal control: Picking-up and reuniting stray animals with their owners; performing low-cost spaying or neutering; licensing. LCARA also responds to· threatening situations involving animals. "Any injured animal is a danger to the community,'' says Carmen. Chartered in 1944, Greenhill is supported by private donations and operated by volunteers -- with the exception of the part-time salaried euthanist/kennel manager. Its funding and staffing permit Greenhill to take the time to place animals in good homes. "Each case is handled individually and we have no holding limit on the animals. We've had some cats for seven months before they were adopted," says Carmen. Ninety percent of Greenhill's animals are ownerreleased to the shelter for a variety of reasons -- they're too big, have behavioral problems, or have become a financial burden to the owners, etc. Greenhill keeps histories and personality profiles of the animals in order to assist with placement in new homes. Carmen says, "many animals arrive complete with toys, baskets, sweaters and so on." Greenhill' s adoption rate is always higher than the national average, according to annual Humane Society surveys of shelters across the country. Carmen cuddles the cute LCC kitten daily and now has it in a large glass enclosure in the "Catery." She hopes to tame the black feline and place it as an inside cat in a quiet home. "Unfortuantely, once imprinted by the "wild" mother, the cat will never completely trust humans,'' Carmen added. Carmen will offer advice to anyone at LCC with a cat problem in the future.

Johnson - Publisher Johnson, H. John publisher, sits at the head of the most prosperous and powerful black publishing company in the United States. Beginning with Negro Digest in 1942, and following with Ebony in 1945, Johnson built a chain of journalistic successes that now includes Jet, Ebony Jr., and book publishing. Born in Arkansas, in 1918, at age six he lost his father, a mill worker, and was raised by his mother and stepfather. His family moved to Chicago and Johnson excelled both academically and in extracurricular activities -- writing for the high school yearbook and school paper. After high school graduation, an insurance executive heard a speech delivered by Johnson, and was so impressed he offered him a partial ·scholarship to attend the University of Chicago. He left after 2 years and studied for 2 years at Northwestern School of Commerce before joining the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company. While running the company's house organ, ·it occurred to Johnson that a digest of weekly or monthly gathered news items of special interest and importance to the black community might achieve a wide black readership. The idea resulted in the creation of Negro Digest.

All of the action of ''Bus Stop'' takes place in a road-side diner in a small town 30 miles west of Kansas City, where the passengers of a bus take refuge until a blizzard blows over. Chief among these travelers is a pretty, but brassy nightclub singer, in high heeled gold slippers, spangled cabaret gown and seedy, fur-trimmed jacket, to be played here by Brenda Jones. Though she is tough and somewhat tarnished, she is frightened by the pursuit of a coltish young cowboy. This brash youth has a ranch of his own in Montana, and cave-man ideas about romance. On his first visit to a big city -- to take part in a Kansas City rodeo -- he had conceived such a fancy for the nightclub cutie that on his departure he has practically abducted her on his bus-ride back to Montana. Since his intentions are honorable, and he means to lead her to the altar, he can't understand why his blustering and boisterous courtship makes the ''chantoos-y'' refuse to be treated like a balky calf being added to the ranch's livestock collection. In addition to this riotous wooing, in which the small town's sheriff intercedes when the cowboy becomes too rambunctious, "Bus Stop" features two other romances that have time to flower while the blizzard subsides. One is the earthy love affair of the diner's proprietress and the driver of the bus. The delay of the bus ends a delay in this couple's romance that couldn't previously come to fruition so long as the bus-driver could only make 20-minute stops at the eatery. Dwan Shepard (left), as Virgil Blessing, and Mark A. Stads~ friendly moment. The third romantic interlude is of a more ethereal kind -- between an itinerant and bibulous philosopher and a teen-age girl with bookish dreams who waits on customers of the lunch-room. A former college professor, disgraced and chased from any number of colleges and communities for a compulsive habit of shining up to too-young girls, he flatters the innocent waitress with his attentions. Together they play a scene from _ ''Romeo and Juliet," which they both know by heart, to while away the long snow bound evening. Suddenly, the professor becomes .aware of the distance between the poetic love of Romeo and his soiled selfishness, and the sweetness of the young waitress regenerates the broken-down, middle-aged professor. In addition to Brenda Jones -- in the famous role of the cabaret songstress -- the cast includes: Mark A. Stadsklev as the obstreperous cowboy, Rosie Sherer as the amorous cafe-proprietress, Rick Burkhart as the bus-driver, David S. Bull as the reprobate professor, Jill Young as the vulnerable adolescent girl, Anthony Reid as the sheriff, and Dwan Shephard as the cowboy's fatherly pal. • The Torch February 7-14, 1985 Page 7 I LCC Theatre presents the classic play, "Bus Stop" ' I mgers stranded in a blizzard. •Cowboys and romance on the snowbo~nd Kansas plains • ; Bo Becker, share a Photos by Ann Van Camp Sheriff Will Master, played by Anthony Reid, (top), has to intercede when Bo Becker, played by Mark Stadskler, becomes too rambunctious.

She can shoot the lights out and rack up a lot of points. Turner, who prepped at Cottage Grove High School, has scored in double figures 13 of 18 games, and collected 29 points against Southwest Oregon Jan. 30. Her 97 total points place her fourth in league scoring. But Turner, and her coach -Sue Thompson -- don't necessarily gear the Titan's offense around Turner's scoring abilities. It just happens. According to Turner, a lot of her scoring success is attributed to Lane's fine guard play. '' I get a lot of fine passes from out guards, and if I'm in underneath, I get a high- percentage shot." "It doesn't surprise me that Liz would accredit the guards,'' said Thompson. "She is a very team oriented player . . . she makes smooth moves to the hoop and the guards give it to her. She has a good shot and a lot of confidence." But Turner had to earn that confidence. Last season, as a freshman, Turner wasn't letting out shots heard around the world. She usually watched from the bench. During last summer and fall, Turner spent countless hours in the gym, perfecting her shooting capabilities. "(Now) she mentally blocks out , the defense, has good hang-time, turns her head, and has gone through a natural maturation from a freshman to a sophomore,'' added Thompson. The past two weeks, Turner has been fighting a bout with the flu. But after her 23-point scoring spree Friday, Turner seems cured. "Liz made a mental decision at the end of last year, that she was going to work hard on her game. I admire her for that. She spent a lot of And, with the passing from her guards, she might keep the Lane women's basketball from slipping out of the playoffs.

Hoopsters chase playoff hopes by Ron Gullberg TORCH Sports Editor LCC's women's basketball team enhanced its playoff position Wednesday, Jan. 30, with a 78-45 win over Southwest Oregon, but, in a key game Friday, lost 71-65 to Mt. Hood, the team the Titans are fighting for the fourth, and final, Region IV playoff spot. The schedule doesn't get any easier for the Titans, who's final three games are against the top three Region IV teams. But Thompson remains confident. "We can still do it (reach the playoffs)."

To complete Lane's finest overall performance, the guards (Trina Travess, Dawn Smoot, Dee Vinberg) accounted for 17 assists, several steals, and forced SWOCC into 20 turnovers. Friday's match-up with the Mt. Hood Saints was for breathing space in the league standings. Mt. Hood led at intermission 39-35, after each team shared the lead several times.

But LCC's lntramurals Director Mitch Allara already knew that. Allara was introduced to volleyball in college, but says he ''had nowhere to go '' for organized play. Now, with the emergence of the United States Volleyball Association (USVBA) -- an amatuer association that breeds eventual Olympic spikers -- Allara has an outlet and coaches an LCC club team that has two Columbia Empire League championships (1982 and '83) under its belt. The league is comprised of South and Oregon Washington colleges, with its season running Jan.-April -culminating with a regional championship tourney.

''Five years ago we started a team called 'the Birdmen', but now we have a whole new team and they're all 18 or 19 (years old)," said Allara. Lane's roster is creditable. The squad is composed around last year's state high school club championship team from Thurston -- with two • Can-Am (Canadian American) volleyball tournament try-outs, Blake Adkins (South Eugene High) and Ed Miller (Thurston High). Ironically, Allara's team is a nucleus of players who, like him, wanted to find an outlet for its talent. And Allara, looking to house a competitive volleyball team, met a core of players looking for a coach. At first the marriage was rocky. "We've got a lot of talent, now we've got to put it by Darren Foss TORCH Sports Writer Lane Community College's men's basketball team completed another tough week of action, playing three games in four days, losing two of them. The Titans now head into their last three games of the regular season, needing to win all of them to finish in a respectable position in Region IV standings. Lane started its busy week on th·e road Wednesday, Jan. 30, with a win over the Southwestern Oregon Lakers, 69-67. Lane played a strong first half both offensively and defensively as it held SWOCC to only 25 points and took a nine point lead into the locker room, 34-25. However, the Lakers came out pumped up in the second half and cut into the Titan's lead, but Lane was able to sink key free throws to hold on to a tight two point victory, 69-67.

Men's Basketball Jerome Johnson led the Titans' offense scoring 20 points and collecting seven rebounds, while Ryan Johnson added 11 points and Kevin Leonard chipped-in 10. After a short day off, Lane met the Mt. Hood Saints here in an important battle for third place. But Lane let an important victory elude them, losing 78-73, Friday, Feb. 1. LCC jumped out to a quick 8-3 lead, but Mt. Hood came back with eight straight points to take an 11-8 lead as the momentum shifted the Saints' way. The two teams swapped the lead eight times in the first 20 minutes before the Saints capped the first half with a 40-35 lead. Lane ran off a 16-4 spurt in the second half, to take a five point lead, 51-46 -- due to forward Lester Jackson, who scored eight straight points. Lane upped the lead as high as seven at 59-52 before the Saints battled back, scoring six straight to pull within one, 59-58. It was a game of streaks. Lane exploded with another five point lead, 69-64, with less than five minutes to play. But after that it was all downhill for the Titans.

"We've only had one tournament so far, but we didn't do too well. It was to just get the spiders out of the attic. We'll do better in the next tournament,'' added Adkins. Lane will embark on its new season Saturday at Western Oregon State College. The Titans will compete with 12 teams, in two pools of six. Win or lose, Lane's squad finds itself in a new phase of volleyball at the school. Younger players and better outlets, along with the postOlympic surge, have made competitive men's volleyball the most rapidly growing sport of the '80s. "It's a friendly atmosphere,'' said Allara.

But the Titans didn't play their game, losing its second straight league match, 72-63. The Titans kept pace with the Panthers until halftime, 33-30. But Portland's offense poured it on in the second half, and the Titans' defense could not rise to the occasion, as_the Panthers rolled up 39 se- cond half points, lifting them to the win. Johnson led all scorers with 28 and grabbed eight rebounds, while Bloom added 11 points. The loss dropped Lane's record to 6-5 in league play, and 16-7 overall, but they're still playoff contenders. "We have a couple of guys that aren't really playing hard and contributing very much right now,'' Bates said Monday. "We're going to have to shake the line-up up and see what we can come up with, and get some things going," "We're going to Plan 'B'. Plan 'A' didn't work so I'll get some people in there that will do my thing and play a little better team ball,'' Bates concluded. for fair coverage by Cheryl Bayne for the TORCH mune as a "cult," and claimed that Rajneeshees planned a "takeover" of the area.

She observed that most of the time, someone is present when any reporter from the bureau covers Rajneeshpuram. ''The only way to find out what's going on there is to become a Rajneesh,'' she said.

"Because we are what we are, we have a great deal of freedom to print what we see.'' When the Rajneeshees came to Oregon in July 1981, they were looking for an isolated area in which they could "do their own thing," Sunshine . said. Most people in the commune have cut off the press, Sunshine claims. As a result, the Press Relations Bureau was organized, because it was felt that an unhealthy attitude would develop in the community if the press was entirely cut off.

Quiet Spanish quite helpful by Peter Porter TORCH Staff Writer Tienes tu un problema con Espanol? Do you have a problem with Spanish? The LCC Language Arts Department has recently received a computer program designed to act as a "computer tutor" for the Spanish The program is language. located in the Computer Lab on the fourth floor of the Center Building, and is the newest supplement to the Dasher computer program series. Susan Castanette, Spanish language student, sees the "computer tutor" as a beneficial addition to the Language Arts Department's use of the silent method of teaching Spanish. Castanette states that the new program helps "reinforce the techniques taught in class". The Silent Way simulates the way a "child first learns to speak" from his or her parents -- it doesn't permit students to speak English in class, to take notes, or use a textbook. This method forces the student to learn Spanish in order to function properly in class. One of the computer program's many functions is to help the student understand mistakes made on classwork. The instructor needs only to label the mistake with a number, and the student can later learn the correct grammar by referring to that certain number on the Dasher program. According to Maria Bishop, Computer Lab assistant, the Dasher language programs are not just for the use of LCC foreign language students. '' Any student can use them,'' invites Bishop. The Computer Lab is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday. Anyone can use the lab during these hours, and assistance is available for those inexperienced with using computers.
