In other survey responses,
less than half of the students
polled said they were satisfied
with food service prices, food

And 75 percent of those polled ,
are in favor of having a student advisory committee to

choices.
While 30 percent of the

Pray to retain luxurious standards

Editorial by Jackie Barry

TORCH Editor

I believe the time for prayer
in the schools has come.
I believe students should
pray not to any particular deity but to anyone or anything
that might cure the Reagan administration of a critical case
of tunnel vision.
Students are not the only
group that suffers from the
narrow-minded ''sell your

stereo, invest in real estate and
you'll get rich quick" mentality that permeates the White
House. But Secretary of
Education William Bennett's
recent remarks about
divestiture and financial aid
focused attention on one of
the Reagan administrations
favorite fiscal targets -- education •
Should I sell my husband's
stereo? Who would buy a

15-year old Harmon Kardon/ Akai half-breed for what
it's really worth? We might as
well keep it to use as collateral
for the annual loans we receive
from our credit union.
Besides, when did listening to
music on something more than
a foldaway turntable become a
luxury?
How about the family auto
fleet? People have the audacity to refer to our 1968 Volvo

ENUF forms
to end field

burning

To the Torch:
Field burning of grass straw
in the Willamette Valley is a
year round concern, as it
should be. It is of great concern to farmers, country
residents and city dwellers
alike. The director of EPA,
Region X, in Seattle, made
this puzzling statement:
'' ---the current standards (of
air pollution) average the air
quality concentrations over
periods of 24 hours and one
year.'' This could be taken to
mean that if there is enough
smoke one hour or one day to
smother us all, then this,
averaged over the whole year,
should still make it possible
for us to breathe. And that
typifies the kind of
bureaucratic non-thinking that
we have so far endured, and
we have had ENUF.
Intelligent farmers have
come to realize the millions
and millions spent in
bureaucratic research and
, development has produced
lots of research, but only in
certain areas. There has been
precious little in the way of
development. No bureaucratic
agency is in a good position to
develop markets - in this case,
a market for ryegrass straw in
any form. The private sector is
doing in a flash, by contrast,
what the clanking bureaucrat
has only seemed to be doing
for more than a decade.
I doubt anyone will quarrel
with the fact that many
youngsters at OSU have gained valuable training in
research techniques. Such
training is expensive, but very
important. But for residents of
Oregon to be told to pin their
clean-air hopes on research
and words - only - from EPA,
DEQ or OEC and the like, is a
sad farce. More especially
when the research is in such
narrow confines that even
before it begins we know the
likelihood of economic
feasibility is lacking.
Private research and private
industry are now engaged in
producing the results we need;
straw removal without burning or baling; development of

markets for the straw, once
removed. And thanks to 20th
century Yankee ingenuity,
there- are very promising experiments in the wings. There
are experiments to sanitize the
fields with no smoke and with
no after-effects. Stay tuned.
Folks outside the valley and
in eastern Oregon have also
contended with the blinding
summer haze for many years.
DEQ has announced that
Oregon,
Idaho
and
Washington intend to jointly
spend half a million dollars
this year to find the source. Of
course most anyone in the
valley could answer that question in three words: Open field
burning. The smoke that rose
from open field burning of
ryegrass straw many miles
away in the valley is now
descending upon you. You
drive with lights on in broad
daylight along the Columbia,
in the high country of central
Oregon and in the Klamath
Falls area and beyond. DEQ
thinks throwing money at a
problem automatically produces solutions. What we need
is the development that private
industry is bringing about.
Wise people are investing their
money there.

Thousands of persons close
to the source of this nuisance
suffer miserably because of
respiratory and pulmonary
disorders; there are exorbitant
medical bills and this is true
for the young as for the old.
Merchants suffer grave losses
of business because of the
smoke. Farmers compassionate enough to realize this
will tell you privately that they
are as anxious to see an end to
the problem as are all the rest
of us. Field burning is extremely dangerous and it is expensive. Those who burn must
stay close to home because the
order to burn can come any
moment; the order to douse
the flames, likewise. And this
in the very height of our otherwise glorious summer.
The flap about Dioxin in
field fire smoke is far from settled. O'Connell of DEQ said
in the Albany DemocratHerald, Thur., 17 January,
1985 '' ---The e?{tent of the problem of toxic compounds in
smoke is not known---." In
the same article, a specialist in
chemical toxicology and

• • ••

agricultural chemistry at OSU
said: "I would not describe
any chemical as being nontoxic ---." So, by encouraging
seed growers to burn, despite
these facts, and put toxic
chemicals into the atmosphere, we seem to have
created a department that is
DETRIMENT AL to Environmental Quality.
"Tourism" according to
Russell Sadler, in the Oregonian, Mon., 28 January, 1985
"is more than just a means of
survival." "The lesson (about
the importance of tourism in
Oregon's economy) has been
lost on Oregonians who listen
only to the loud voices that
merely echo the sounds of
their own immediate selfinterest. It should not be lost
on the Legistature as it gropes
for ways to restructure Oregon
economy''. You and I know
what tourists will do when
they learn (as they will) about
Oregon's "summer complaint" of smokey air. Bill
Taylor, Oregon State travel
director, said in an article in
the Democrat-Herald, 22
December, 1984, "---we need
tourists. If we don't get
that extra tourism dollar,
you're not going to have a
job."
An organization has been
formed to help bring an end to
this unwelcome condition.
Working quietly to link and
expedite progress on objectives, it calls itself ENUF (End
Noxious Unhealthy Fumes).
For those who still believe
Oregon residents are "sleeping
dogs" that will roll over and
play dead as the black smoke
engulfs
them:
Please
remember the old saw "---the
tail that wags the dog." A
minuscule segment of the
population (those who insist
there is no way to remove the
straw from the fields
economically without burning
it) - wave that tail briskly every
summer. The rest of us represent the supposedly sleeping
dog. But all the while this old
dog has been lying with one
eye deceptively closed - thinking, thinking, and seeing, very
clearly, how things really are.
Wise grass seed farmers are
now joining with this old dog
in seeing the marvelous opportunity to market a product
without making everyone ill or

angry. And, as Granny used to
say: ''There is none so blind as
he who WILL NOT see.'' Stay
tuned.
Yours, for air fit to breathe,
Bill Johnson

Food Service

takes survey
for students

To the Editor:
I wish to thank those of you
that took the time to fill out
the "Help Us Serve You"
survey that was recently passed out in the Food Service.
I was very surprised at the
number of items that were requested that are already
available. It was surprising
that many customers only eat
in the Cafeteria or Snack Bar
unaware of what is available at
the other.
There will be some new
items available soon that were
requested. As for some of the
other things mentioned: I too
would like to have lower
prices, but cannot, du~ to
overhead that must be
covered. The Food Service
receives no operating revenue
other than from the sale of
food.
In checking with all other
colleges, I have found that our
prices are the same or lower
then any others. There is only
one set of books kept for Food
Service financial status. Two
brands of yogurt is all we have
space for. I had six other
brands requested. The Snack
Bar hours were changed due to
the reduced student count on
campus bringing revenue in
the evening to an all time low
that does not cover costs.
There is no extender used, nor
was there ever, in the coffee.
At one time we used an
enhancer to keep coffee from
getting stronger in the urns but
that was a year ago.
We use Farmer Brothers
Coffee and the best blend they
have. Our hamburgers are of
the best quality meat and the
buns Williams best. (Oregon's
Finest Since 1902.)
I will check on our soup
recipes for less salt, try to get
recipes for whole wheat rolls,
and install diet 7-up.

sedan as a beater. Well, maybe
they're right. The rear muffler
is falling off and the right
a-arm bushings are clunking
away but it never (well almost
never) leaves us stranded on
the road. It warms up and
defrosts the windows in a matter of minutes and you could
hit a brick wall head-on at 20
miles an hour and never dent
the radiator.
Maybe we should sell it
though. We do have two cars
and the Volvo is definitely the
better of the two.
We could forego our beach
vacation. That is, our one day
beach vacation that we were
going to take to do research
for a freelance piece we hope
to sell. The money would tide
us over when the paycheck
runs out at the beginning of
the month but it will be fun
and isJ!'t that a luxury?
I feel lucky to have
benefited from federal financial aid funds up until this
point. I'll be finished with
school soon and Congress
might not be able to stave off
the Reagan crew's annual attempt to deplete everything
but the Pentagon.
And hopefully a brighter,
m01;c~~e~tiY& and openminded crew mfgnt fie in the White
House if I don't hit the
jackpot in the future and have
to collect Social Security.

Death squads and the 'Ronald Reagan Battalion'
by Allan Smolker

TORCH Staff Writer

ASLCC Treasurer Robyn
Braverman recently returned
from an educational tour of El
Salvador and its National
University. The tour was sponsored by the United States Student Association (USSA) and
the Committee in Solidarity
with The People of El
Salvador (C/SPES). This is
the third in a series of articles
describing what she saw.

Also, Braverman says the
troopers who stopped the car
knew ·who the Americans
were. They said, "You're the
Americans on 'the tour'."
And mentioned having seen
them before.
Braverman says there is
reason to be uneasy. She saw a
Jeep full of soldiers go by who
wore the black bandanas. And
she said again, "Black bandanas, with a big red skull
over the front -- they are also
the bandanas of the death
squads."

American students meet with Salvadoran university president.

"So, we were driving to
Santa Ana, which is in the
Western part of El Salvador,
and we saw three. buses stoifY
ped. It was a military spot
check. (The Salvadoran
soldiers) were pulling fifty or
sixty young men and boys off
the buses at gun point, and
forcing them into the army
vehicles. ''
According to Braverman,
who is also on the International Relations Committee of
USSA, this is a way the
government of El Salvador
conscripts young civilians into
the military.
If you have to travel to work
in El Salvador, Braverman
says, "You have to take (the)
risk" of being drafted at gun
point.
Her sources claim Santa
Ana is one of the places in El
Salvador where the US
"advisers"
train
the
Salvadoran military.
Braverman's sources claim
there is a new elite unit forming which is called the
"Ronald Reagan Battalion,"
and they will wear the black
bandana with red skull printed
on it.
Braverman also says
members of the death squads
use the black bandana with a
big red skull to hide their
faces.
Although Americans are
treated with great respect,
Braverman says she felt at risk
when her car was stopped by
soldiers. The driver was very
nervous and only wanted to
tell the soldiers where he work'ed, but the troopers demanded
his home address too. Braverman says the alleged invol vem en ts between the
military and death squads
were reason to fear being questioned by the military.

"We wanted to get a full
idea of the intensity of the
struggle and I think that we
really did."

"We arranged for a meeting
with the Vice Minister of
Justice, Dr. Dina Castro y
Callejas. And through her it
was arranged for the
Americans to tour Mariona, a
men's prison and Illopango, a
women's prison.
Two show case prisons

She says while the political
prisoners are classified differently . than the common
prisoners in both prisons,
security is tighter at the men's
prison than at the women's.
Braverman says there are
about 1,000 political prisoners
in Mariona, as opposed to 28
political prisoners at 11lopango. In Mariona, 12 college and high school students
are imprisoned.
"In Mariona (the mens
prison) we were searched, our
cameras
and
tape
(recorders)... were taken
away, ... our van was searched.
The (American) women were
not searched as thoroughly as
the (American) men. (But)
Salvadoran women and men
are equally, thoroughly, searched," says Braverman. "But
at Illopango (the women's
prison) we were not checked,
but we were not allowed to
take our cameras and
recorders into the prison."
Neither the men nor the
women prisoners wear prison
uniforms. And most of the
prison activity takes place in a
center courtyard, a place for
the inmates to meet with their
families and conduct business.
It also serves as a street
market.

The government genderizes
work the prisoners do to earn
money. According to Braverman, the men work at various
crafts, while the women sew or
do traditional "woman's
work" on a contract basis for
companies outside the prison.
Also, the government has a
school inside Illopango for the
children of the prisoners.
Children six and under can
stay with their prison mothers
if there is no family to take
care of them.
The male prisoners are
allowed tape machines, TV's
and political posters in their
small cells.
The women live in large
rooms with many beds and
multiple showers.
While at Mariana, Braverman met Carlos Ruiz,
secretary general of The Committee of Political Prisoners of
El Salvador (COPPES). She
says Ruiz wanted to know why
the delegation of Americans
was in El Salvador.
After he received an explanation; Ruiz, a student who
says he has been tortured by
the government; told the
Americans that COPPES is
very well organized. And he
said, prison was the safest
place to be -- in terms of
political openness.
According to Ruiz, COPPES tries to educate the common prisoners.
COPPES staged a successful
hunger strike

Recently, Ruiz says, the
prisoners' union demanded
better food and improved conditions for all of the inmates at
Mariona. Ruiz told Braverman the prison administration

met all the demands.
However, he told Braverman, political prisoners get
treated better than the common prisoners as a result of
their own force and organization, and because of visits
from . international delegations·.
"It didn't seem as though
there was a lot of repression
against them as political
prisoners within the prison. .
. but this is a (showcase
prison)," Braverman says.
According to Braverman's
sources there are other prisons
outside of San Salvador --

clandestine jails exist. She says
she received her information
from Salvadorans who have
either been in secret prison or
know people who are
prisoners in secret jails.
Before Braverman and the
other members of the USSA
delegation left Mariona, the
political prisoners gave them
crosses woven in a linen
thread, which they said were
the "symbols of solidarity."

Next week's topic will be the
delegation's visit with
American
Ambassador
Pickering.

Financial Aid counter
reduces service hours
by Sharen Hulegaard

TORCH Staff Writer

The Financial Aid office
reduced its counter service
time for student assistance by
two hours beginning Tuesday,
Feb. 19.
According to Linda Waddell, Financial Aid director,
the Financial Aid staff will be
there working, but the extra
two hours gained by not having the service counter open
will be used to deal with an excess of paperwork created by:
The Department of Education
requiring more extensive •
verification on a larger
number of student Financial
Aid applications; the Federal
Government requiring the filing of more extensive reports,
on a quarterly basis; and the
fact that the staff is now trying ,
to handle paperwork for the •
'84-85 school year, as well as
preparatory paperwork for the

Claims 12.olice and media insensitive

'85-86 school year. This threefold situation has created a
dilemma resulting in an increased work-load and "more
and more staff time doing
paperwork," explains Waddell.
''Our belief is that we can
offer as good a service from
10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. as we
have in the past ... that we'll
be able to deal with students as
effectively in this compressed
time frame," states Waddell.
She expresses a hope that
students will become aware of
the new hours and plan their
time accordingly.
This change in hours is expected to last at least through
June, when its effectiveness
will be reviewed. In June, if
dramatic problems for the
campus have been evidenced
as a result of the hour change,
the hours might be expanded
back at that time.

Robbery victim still fearful

by Lisa Zimmerman
TORCH staff Writer

"The whole thing took
about 30 seconds, but it seemed like hours," says Janet
Scott, an LCC student who
became a victim of a robbery
on Thursday, Jan. 31.
Just before 7 a.m., Scott
(not her real name) was going
about her normal duties at
Cookies, a west Eugene convenience store when- a woman,
dressed like a ''punker,''
entered and demanded all the
money in the till.
"I said 'Are you serious?' I
thought she was kidding,''
says Scott. But then the
woman pointed a sawed-off,
single-barrel shot gun at her
and threatened to use it. Scott
handed over the money and
the woman left the store at approximately 6:52 a.m., leaving
Scott uninjured.
But, Scott claims, it is the
after effects of being a victim
that have caused her the most
distress.
"I know people will pro- ·
bably just read this and say,
'I'm glad that it wasn't me,'
but they don't realize what

that's like - how much courage
it takes for me to get up every
morning."
.
Scott told the Torch her
problems began right after the
robbery. According to Scott,
the police investigating th e
robbery were very insensitive,
implying she might have had
something to do with the theft.

weren't even aware there was a
video-tape of the whole
thing.''
Scott also had trouble with
the media. Once home, she
called radio stations and The
Register-Guard asking that
they not mention her name, in
some cases the reply was, the

public has the right to know!
She says the Register-Guard
was "very rude," and one station KEED did use her name
in it; report ~f the theft. "Yes,
the news has to be reported "
stated Scott "but they did~'t
need to use ~y name."
.
S_cott. says she is also expene~cmg what counselo~s
descnbe as "Post-traumatic
Shock.,, Her health has been
affected, and she has trouble
sleeping at night and concentrating during the day. Most
of all ' she is fearful of the
future. "Chances are I'll never
see her (the thief) again. But if
she's dumb enough to pull an
armed robbery, she's dumb
enough to shoot somebody ...
and that scares me."
By staying active -- continuing school and keeping busy -Scott says she has begun to
feel better. But sadly, Scott
says she still experiences the
most disturbing effect of being
a victim; the way she relates to
others. "Before this happened I was a basically easy-going
person. Now I'm paranoid ...
I just don't trust people the
way I used to.'

According to Martin, if a
student is considering a career
abroad, it's important to get a
varied educational background. The International

Program
encompasses courses from
several disciplines -- political
science, languages, economics,
law, business, geography,
and history. . . to name a few.
Peggy Marston suggests a
student might focus on
developing a particular skill for instance, nursing or
agriculture, and then find
where he or she wants to apply
it. Or, she suggests the student
might focus on an area of the
world and find out how to be
of service there. And travel,
whenever possible.

Denali's new format a success

LCC's literary arts

well after two publications this
year using a new format and

Denali' s new structure and

pages -- allows the student
staff to publish four issues annually and insert them in the

"When you have a six-month
deadline, it is hard to stay
motivated." Ferguson feels
that with the new format,
more students are getting their
work published. He also adds,
the staff is able to learn more
by publishing four times than
from the single magazine.
"We learn from our mistakes
and have had a chance to better the magazine with each
issue." There have been two
publications to date this year;
a third is tentatively scheduled
for early April:
Denali publishes students'
poems and short stories.
Ferguson says, 'The best thing
about it is that it gives students
a chance to compare their
work with the work of other
students." He adds he is very
pleased with the submissions
so far this year.

Tutoring program
establishes communication
with foreign students
by Joe W. Templeton
for the TORCH

An exchange of cultures is
taking place under the guise of
a tutoring program sponsored
by the LCC Downtown
Center, in the·English as a Second Language (ESL) Program.
ESL tutors, like Fern Barton, help foreign students and
refugees to become familiar
not only with the English
language, but with America
and the community as well.
For the last 18 months, Barton -- a retired teacher -- has
helped Nam Nep, a Cambodian refugee. Barton and Nep
sometimes study in his home
where they are joined by Nep's
wife and four children. In one
evening, English, science, and
history were part of the lesson.
Barton and ESL Program
Manager, Sharon Ferlaak,
says "The tutors, who are all
volunteers, don't have to be
teachers."

Services
a resq1trce

for the TORCH

by John Egan

TORCH Staff Writer

Many LCC students only
notice the Financial Services
Department during the first
week of each term, when the
lines beginning at the office's
counters often extend out the
front doors of the Administration Building to the entrance
of the PE Building.
So, for those of you who
may not be familiar with
Financial Services, it may be
helpful for you to realize what
is available there.
Alth~ugh the primary function of Financial Services is to
take in and disburse monies,
the office can provide other
services, as well.
Work/Study students, for
instance, can pick up their
checks the day before payday
from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the
first window, instead of
waiting for it to ar-rive in the
mail.
And have you ever found
yourself stuck at school with
no money? Well, as long as
you can provide an LCC student ID card and a valid
driver's license, you can write
a check up to $5 at any time
during the regular counter
hours, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
During these same hours,
students may also handle other
types of transactions such as
paying tuition or other fees,
receiving reimbursements
from the college, and picking
up Financial Aid checks.

Last term three LCC Flight
Technology graduates had an
experience that happens
maybe only once in every
10,000 flights.
"It was just amazing," says
Terry Hagberg, head of the
Flight Technology Department. Continental Airlines,
which randomly schedules its
1,800 flight personnel daily all
over
the
country,
scheduled Lane graduates
Captain William Gilmore,
First Officer Charles Day, and
Second Officer John Purdue
to the same flight on the East
Coast.
When asked how many
flight graduates become pilots
for major airlines Hagberg
replied, "Only eight percent of
our graduates ever make the
major airlines at all."
He said he knows of only six
LCC graduates working for
major airlines. But since it
takes such a long time to earn
a job with a major airlines, it
is sometimes hard to keep
track of former graduates, explains Hagberg.

The other 92 percent who do
not decide to pursue careers as
pilots for major airlines are
working in a wide variety of
aviation careers.
Halgberg says the most
popular are careers in flight instruction, air taxi services,
commuter airline piloting, and
corporation piloting. He says
some students also choose
work in air traffic control or
with the National Transportation Safety Board.
If a graduate wishes to work
with a major airline and can
meet the requirements, his/her
first step might be to find
work as a flight instructor,
where he/ she is likely to log
800 to 1000 hours of flying
time in one year. After three
or four years, the pilot has
earned enough hours to proceed to the other aviation
careers which are professions
by themselves, and can also
serve as stepping stones to
commercial piloting.
The requirements for
becoming a major airline pilot
are very strict. Physical requirements include meeting a
specific height/weight ratio,
having 20/20 vision without

correction, meeting the FAA
medical standards (which include an excellent medical
history and family medical
history), and being no more
than 31 years of age. Educational requirements include a
four-year degree and 3000
hours of flight time with 1000
hours of that time flying in
jets.
In addition, a pilot usually
acquires a number of specific
ratings, or certifications,
enabling him or her to
specialize in different types of
flight equipment and even different types of planes, all
qualifications which further
prepare the pilot for employment with a major airline.

Ferlaak also said that
''They share an exchange of
cultures with their students,
that cannot be accomplished
in a regular classroom environment." Ferlaak also said
''a desire to help people, and
the ability to accept a
challenge" are the only real
qualifications required to be
an ESL tutor.
Barton adds: "I have
become an American friend to
my students and their families
in their adjustment to life in
America and the community. ' '
With a minimum commitment of one hour per week,
the programs are designed so
the tutor can be . innovative
and flexible -- depending upon
the individual needs of each
student. This results in a
mutual learning experience for
all involved.
Tutor programs are also
available in Adult Basic
Education (ABE), General
Education Development
(GED), and Job Search Skills.
Anyone interested in
becoming a volunteer or who
wants more information about
the program, may call Sharon
Ferlaak or Rebecca Robertson
at 484-2121 ext.582 or 584, or

It's Sho

Leonard leads march
by Ron Gullberg

TORCH Sports Editor

Sophomore guard, and
team captain, Kevin Leonard
is the sparkplug, quarterback,
general of this year's LCC
men's basketball team. That's
surprising, considering the
former Churchill High School
(class of '80) standout sat-out
three years of basketball after
graduating, and opted to play
football instead.
Leonard was Portland State
University's starting defensive
back and was a kick-off
returner -- he even ranked
fourth in the nation his last
season.
But, after two years of football, Leonard ran into grade
trouble. ''Too much fast life,''
he says. Leonard returned to
Eugene and worked for a year.
"In the spring (of 1983), I
went out and watched Lane
practice," said Leonard. "I
saw that their guards were
sophomores and on their way
out, so I tried out, made the
squad, came right in and contributed." Leonard is now the
main contributor.

"He's our point guard, captain, leader, and he makes
things happen,'' said LCC
Head Coach Dale Bates.
"Kevin executes our offense,
and falls out with the plays we
call for . . . it's a very key
role."
Leonard is a hard worker -a coaches dream. ''Sometimes
he works too hard,'' said
Bates. ''He tries to do too
much, even when he doesn't
have too. But, it's understandable. Earlier in the year, we
(the team) were young and inexperienced (Key Titan players
were injured; Lester Jackson
and Kevin Bloom. While Eric
Laakso and Pat Bodine
weren't available due to the
soccer team's success)."
Maybe it was his football
playing days, or just instinct,
but Leonard reaks havoc on
opposing offensive players. "I
pride myself on my defense,''
says Leonard. "This year I've
become a more all-around
player. I'm stronger -- due to
running and lifting (weights). I
had a basketball in my hand
all summer.''

Leonard takes his job
seriously. "I'm the team captain. I keep the ball in my
hands as much as possible to
keep things organized . . . I
basically control the tempo."
Despite his emergence on
the basketball court, Leonard
is undecided on his future as
an athlete. "I've had a shortterm goal to play (basketball)
at the University of AlaskaAnchorage, but I still look forward to tryin' out for the
Breakers (Portland's United
States Football League team).
Football is where my heart
is."
No matter what choice he
makes, Leonard maintains he
will make it. "I'm going to go
to school and keep trying. If
you go in there with a little
doubt, you won't make it."
Whether he dons a Breaker
jersey, or is making igloos in
Alaska, Leonard -- the general
-- will always remember he
marched his squad into the
Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges
playoffs.

Laakso and Bodine -- both

"It was a super win for us,"

several key Mt. Hood turnovers.
But the biggest play of the
game was when Laakso's drive
to the hoop and shot, with
seconds left in the game -LCC was trailing 71-70 -- bobbled on the rim and center
Kevin Bloom knocked it in
with one tick left on the clock.
In the two regular season
meetings between the teams
Mt. Hood stole the show, and
ran away with both wins. But
Bates will take his team's lone
victory over the other two any-

day. "It was a tremendous
game . . . the way we came
back. We were 10 points down
with 14 minutes left, but the
kids sucked it up, and we overcame the deficit with three
minutes left ... this is one the
bench won!'
The Titans must face the
winner of last night's
Spokane-Yakima game (scores
were not available due to
deadlines) Saturday, Feb. 23.
Unfortunately, LCC will play
on the road once again, no
matter which team wins.

LCC's men's basketball
team was fortunate -- if not
lucky -- to receive Jerome
Johnson, a 6' 4" freshman
forward from Shelbyville,
Tenn., who can excite the fans
with his patented slam dunks.
Johnson's arrival at LCC -over 2500 miles from home -was strictly chance. "I came to
Oregon to visit my mother a
little over a year ago and she
asked me to stay . . . then I
noticed the LCC Downtown
Center and asked where the
main campus was. I came out
here and met Michael McLeod
and he said I should try-out
for the basketball team. So he
introduced me to the coach
(Dale Bates) and he convinced
me to stay and play.''
Johnson began contributing
to LCC's offense immediately.
He leads the team in scoring,
(averaging over 20 pts. per
game) and rebounding (nearly
10 a game).
Johnson claims his main adjustment to Oregon was the
difference in weather. ''When
all there is is rain, rain, rain,
almost all the time, I felt I
couldn't go outside and play
ball. After the first six days of
it I told my mom I was going
home, but I decided I could
put up with it ... it's a lot different than (in) Tennessee."

Johnson has been introduced to the college game quickly
this season. He's been a consistent starter, but knows he
has a lot of his game to work
on still. "Team wise, I think
we let a couple games slip
away that we should 've won,
including a lot of close games
down the stretch. We just
weren't getting the job done. I
also feel I can play better

" ... Jerome will
be the premier
junior college
player next year,
and a major
college prospect."
- Coach Bates
defense (Coach Bates has been 1
nagging him lately),'' said
Johnson.
"Offensively I
feel I just need to keep up the
intensity and continue to play
hard and start working out
with weights more to improve
my strength and quickness.''
"Jerome has outstanding
offensive talent," said Bates.
"He's probably one of the
most gifted junior college
players I've ever had the
chance to coach. He's quick,

goes to the hoop, can jump,
and handles the ball well. But,
his biggest weakness is team
and individual defensive
skills."
Bates is confident of
Johnson's raw talent. "I anticipate, with weight work in
the spring, summer and training in the fall, Jerome will be
the premier junior college
player next year, and a major
college prospect.

Johnson has found adjusting to Bates' system
similar to his high school
coach. ''I had a real good high
school coach and he helped me
a lot. He had me stay two or
three hours after practice
when I was a sophomore to
make me work harder,'' said
Johnson. "Coach Bates is
about the same. He stresses
fundamentals and I clicked-in
pretty quick ... Bates changes
his offense to suit his players
and their personalities, so it
helped me a lot."
In the ten years Johnson has
been playing organized basketball, he notes learning to concentrate on basketball, not his
social life, as the biggest improvement.
I would go and play basketball by myself, or with a friend
everyday. I believe practice
makes perfect,'' said Johnson.
Now, he just has to dodge
the raindrops.

Review by John Egan

TORCH Staff Writer

"The Break/ast Club,, is
produced by Ned Tanen and
John Hughes and written and
directed by John Hughes.
Rated R, it's now playing at
the National Theater.
Perhaps the best thing that
can be said for this film is that
at least it tried to be different.
Although the ''Breakfast
Club" is definitely a part of
the new genre of high school
movies, it deviates from the
usual class vs. class or peer
group vs. peer group conflict
and has a much more meaningful message. Unfortunately
it isn't enough.
The film tells the story of
five high school students, each
with their own distinct personality, who are brought
together during a Saturday
detention hall. From the time
we enter the theatre we're
given the story's conclusion,
which is that somehow these
five teenagers; a brain, a beauty, a jock, a rebel and a
recluse, will find a common
bond, develop a true friendship and begin to take a personal interest in each others
lives.
By the end of the film not
only are we provided with no
true surprises, but we really
aren't totally convinced that
the outcome is really possible.
Of the five young actors,
Judd Nelson and Molly
Ringwald deliver the best performances. Nelson plays John
Bender, a kid from the other
side of the tracks, who carries
a massive chip on his shoulder
and dares the world to knock
it off.
Once the five are brought
together it is Bender who is the
catalyst for the groups interaction after he immediately
establisbes himself as an advisary to the other four.

Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson play two high school students in Saturday detention hall in
John Hughes'second movie about teenagers in the "Breakfast Club."

"Surviving," gives a great performance as Claire Standish,
the prominent rich girl who is
inwardly struggling with the
image she is forced to live up
to. During the more emotional
scenes she is clearly the most
convincing of the five young
actors.
The plot of the film is

basically how the five progress
from their initial contempt for
each other, into a tight-knit
group that becomes supportive
of each others' problems.
Unfortunately, Hughes fails
to avoid the inevitable romantic chemistry (which is as corny as it is predictable) and the
usual farcical elements, which

both help to make the movie
seem unrealistic.
The film's most negative
aspect, how~ver, is easily the
character of ·Richard Vernon,

played by Paul Gleason. In attempting to be the films true

most popular local band in the
Pacific Northwest. The appearance on Star Search '85
has given the Crazy S's national exposure and the opportunity to perform for millions
of viewers.
STAR SEARCH
Television's Sunday night
program Star Search, which
acts as a "commercial talent
show,'' was searching the
Pacific Northwest for talent in
late 1984. The consensus of
clubowners and managers in
the area was that Crazy S's
were the best band in the Northwest, so Star Search asked
them to audition.
The audition impressed the

judges enough that the Crazy
B's were asked to tape some
shows in December. Mark
Baker, manager for the band,
saw the opp.0rtunity as the
break they needed for mass
media attention, and accepted
the offer.
Although the network provided the trip to Los Angeles,
the hotel, and "lots of
money,'' according to Baker,
the band didn't always agree
with the philosophies of commercial television.
"They wanted us in
costume,'' stated trombone
player Tim Tubb, ''but we
said 'Hey, we're gonna wear
what we always wear.' '' And

Crazy B's making a name for themselves
TORCH Staff Writer

The Crazy S's are a new sensation in the local music scene
that are building quite a
reputation.
Originally from Corvallis,
the Crazy S's have made appearances on NBC-TV's Star
Search, they're enjoying the
success of a newly released
album, and they manage to fill
clubs and concert halls
everywhere they go.
Opening for bands such as
The Clash, The Blasters,
Violent Femmes, and The
English Beat, Crazy 8's have
created an enormous following that's making them the

The jock, the brain and the

Estevez, Anthony Michael
Hall, and Ally Sheedy respectively. The three work well
with Nelson and Ringwald,
and they all do a respectable
job at attempting to make the
film interesting, which is truly
a challenge since 90 percent of
it takes place in the school
library.
The sound score by Keith
Forsey is probably the best
part of the movie, but isn't
enough to save it. By the end
of the story we are left feeling
that too much has taken place
in too little time, which makes
it hard to be satisfied with the
movie.
If awards were given for
good intentions, "The
Breakfast Club" would be a
certain nominee, and although
Hughes is to be given credit
for attempting to break out of
the mold, his final product is
void of true originality. And
therefore is really not worth

shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes.
But their apparel wasn't
the only trouble in Paradise.
The winning band at the end
of the television season comes
under strict contract with Star
Search. The performers
become "like a piece of

singer Todd Duncan. In the
case of famed Sam Harris, last
season's winner, he is contracted to perform on network
talkshows and variety shows.
"Music means more to me
than that", admitted Duncan,
"we don't like to sell it in that
way."
The Album
Last summer the Crazy B's
came out with a locally produced album called ''Law and
Order. '' What was originally
intended to be a demo tape
turned into an album which is
currently being played on "40
to 50 radio stations across the
country,'' according to Baker.

Six months after its
release, "Law and Order" is
still charting record sales at

record retail stores in

Mary McLeod Bethune
Administrator

Born in 1875 in South
Caroline, Mary McLeod
Bethune gained her special insight into the everyday problems of the average black
youth while growing up on a
farm. She studied at Scotia
Seminary in North Carolina
and Moody Bible Institute in
Chicago, preparing for missionary work in Africa. When
her application for an overseas
post was turned down she
turned to teaching.
Herbert Hoover was the
first American president to
utilize her abilities when, in
1930, he invited her to a White
House Conference on Child
Health and Protection. In
1934 President Roosevelt appointed her to the Advisory
Committee of the National
Youth Adminstration. Her
work so impresseci Roosevelt
that a year later he was persuaded to set up an Office of
Minority Affairs with Ms.
Bethune as administrator - the
first post of its kind ever to be
held by an American Black
woman. Her duties consisted
largely of granting funds to
deserving
students
(particularly blacks) who
could not otherwise have continued graduate studies.
During the 1930' s she was
one of the leading figures in
the unofficial '' Black
Cabinet" which had begun the
fight for advanced integration
in the U.S. government.

inheritance became the
nucleus of his enterprises. He
invested in real estate, and
soon had control over 300
units of real estate, from
which he collected rent on
nearly 1200 apartments.
His real estate office was the
site chosen for the location of
the Binga State Bank in 1908.
Deposits grew to $1.5 million
by 1932.
Because he found it difficult
to refuse loan applications and
allowed extended payments,
he experienced financial difficulty during the depression
years, and by May of 1932 the
bank closed its doors.
He was criminally charged
for his part in the bank failure,
which included his refusal to
foreclose on real estate mortgages, and was sentenced to
prison in 1933. Although he
was pardoned by Pres.
Franklin D. Roosevelt the
same year, he was never able

W. C. Handy: Composer

Although he began as a cornetist and bandleader in the
1890's, W.C. Handy's ·fame as
the "Father of the Blues" rests
almost entirely on his work as
a composer.
After studying at Kentucky
Music College, Handy toured
with an assortment of musical
groups, becoming the bandm aster of the Mahara
Minstrels in 1896.
In 1909, during a political
campaign in Memphis, Handy
wrote Mr. Crump, a campaign
song for E.H. "Boss" Crump.
Three years later, the song was
published as the Memphis
Blues.
-In 1914, Handy published
his most famous song, St.
Louis Blues, and, that same
year, also wrote Yellow Dog
Blues. Some others that have
become perenial favorites are
Joe Turner Blues (1915); Beale
Street Blues (1916); Care/en
Love (1921); and Aunt
Hagar,s Blues (l 92i).
In the 1920's Handy became
a music publisher in New
York. Despite his failing sight,
he remained active until his
death in 1958. His songs extend beyond the' world of jazz
to find their way into the
general field of popular music.

and Rick Washington on

are eight members in the band,
it has nothing to do with the
name: "Crazy S's" -- there
were nine players when they
picked up the name.
Duncan, Wanaka, and
Shaar were in a band together
called The Cheeks, who played
a type of "mondo jazz." The
three of them were looking for
a new sound, and the band
broke up. Duncan, working as
the group leader, kept the
previous bookings for The
Cheeks, but now had to fill the
bookings with a band.
Henceforth the Crazy B's were
formed to play in those clubs
where The Cheeks were booked. The early Crazy S's went
through a lot of personnel
changes, but now seem to have
the "right combination."
The Manager

Mark Baker acts as the exclusive manager for the Crazy
B's with his management firm
of Wreckless Entertainment.

Number of times a week I eat
at the snack bar:
Baker considers himself the
"ninth member of the band,"
and deals with all the Crazy B's
business affairs. Bookings,
promotions, and even
newspaper features must go
through Baker first.
"We're a team, we all need
each other,'' states Baker,
''whether they're on the stage,
or I'm on the phone."
Baker ran Oregon State
University radio station KBVR
for years, and is responsible
for the format change from
"easy listening to a more progressive sound.'' Baker left
KBVR to join the organization
of the Crazy B's.
As the six kilowatts of skainfluenced dance music is
satisfying the fans' ears, I'm
helping out backstage with
rolling up posters for Duncan
to throw to the hungry crowd.
Also rolling posters is the
fiancee of Casey Shaar, the
keyboard player. Shaar's
girlfriend, Sandy, told me she
goes to all Crazy S shows,
otherwise she ''would never
see" Shaar. When asked what
she would do if Crazy B's
someday "make it big" -- "I
guess I would stay home",
sighed Sandy.
The Crazy B's hope to
record another album as soon
as March with a choice of
about 22 possible songs.
''Our sound is getting better
and better," brags Duncan.
Crazy S's will be "lookin' for
sunnier things" on their next
album, rather than the
political theme of "Law and
Order." The cover of "Law
and Order'' displays a cartoon
by Oregonian artist Jack
Ohman of President Reagan in
cowboy attire with nuclear
warheads in his holsters.
Whether the Crazy S's
"make it big" someday or
not, only time will tell. But as
for now, The Crazy S's are the
most popular local band in
Eugene, and one of the biggest
names in the entire Northwest
music scene.

Bill would demystify legalese

Prejudice
I will never understand how
one could come to the conclusion that blacks don't feel
discriminated against at LCC,

becomes law, the public
would need only to fill out a
standardized '' plain
English" form for uncontested legal matters
rather than hiring an attorney to complete the present complex forms.
"Congress says ignorance of the law is no excuse,'' explains Peggy
Muse, CSB founder, ''then
it writes the law in Latin"
so few people can understand.
According to Muse, 30
percent of all Americans do
not have access to the legal
system because they cannot
afford to hire an attorney.
The goal of the CSB is to
allow more Americans access through the use of certified legal scriveners to inform consumers about what
laws they are facing, and to
explain which forms need to
be submitted for their case.
This process can save hunnegotiated.
Eldon Schafer stated that
progress was made at the last
meeting of the involved parties
and said, "There's little objection to the amount -- it's just
how and when'' that has yet to
be worked out.
Audit
LCC is in the process of
selecting an auditing firm for

after interviewing only 10
black people. Being a black
person attending LCC, I feel
your article about blacks not
feeling any prejudice was very
inaccurate. Coming to the
conclusion that blacks at LCC
don't feel discrimination is
ridiculous. Did you interview
10 black people you weren't
afraid to approach or what?
Most blacks don't want to get
"railroaded" by the white
society. They want to get an
education and a job too. So
why voice your opinion to a
white person? White people
have been known to ''make a
bad name'' for someone
(blacks that voice their opinions on issues such as these).

dreds, sometimes thousands
of dollars on attorneys fees,
says Muse.
Muse formed the CSB in
1978 as a fee-based private
protection
consumer
business. Its first office in
Medford opened mainly for
cases such as landlord/tenant complaints, consumer
fraud, and misrepresentation.
With offices in Portland
and Eugene, the CSB has
expanded its "self-help"
programs to include adoptions, name changes,
divorce, and bankruptcy. If
the new bill, ORS 9.320,
passes the State Legislature,
the CSB would become a
certified legal scrivener and
expand its legal power even
more.
CSB invites inquiries
about the bill. Its phone
number is 345-2979, and is
located at 132 East Broadway, Suite 214, Eugene.
the next engagement period of
three years.
Board member Mary Unruh
suggested at the last board
meeting that she thought an
auditing committee composed
of board members would better fulfill the board's fiduciary
responsibilities as elected officials. Unruh made a motion
to form such a committee
which was not seconded.
So until we black people are in
a position to really do
something about it. As for interviewing 10 black people at
school either they are like
other blacks who don't want
to be pushed out of the
"game" for voicing their real
feelings or are very, very
blind.
One who doesn't need to get
"Railroaded"
