Get Rubella vaccine before pregnancy

Student Health testing for immunity
by Heidi LaDonna Lotito
for the TORCH

County and public health
clinics have joined the state of
Oregon in a national fight
against the damaging rubella
virus.
Sandra Ing, director of
LCC's Student Health Service
(SHS), explains, "Rubella
(also referred to as german
_measles or the three day
measles), is a contagious
disease caused by a virus.
When a pregnant women is infected with rubella, it in turn
infects the developing fetus.''
"Rubella babies are born
with such devastating birth
defects as eye-defects,
deafness, small heads, mental
retardation, slowness in learn-

Senate studies measure

But House version still open to discussion

by Jackie Barry

TORCH Editor

Despite passage by the
Oregon House of Representatives, the sales tax issue still
holds many questions.
As it now stands, the
measure would approve a five
percent sales tax. Proceeds
would reduce property taxes
by an estimated 33 percent and
income taxes an average of

nine percent.
Community Colleges would
receive $43 million from an
estimated net of $759 million.
Lane Community College
would receive an estimated
$7 .3 million.
More specific division of the
collected monies is not certain
at this point. ''How in the
world is that money going to
be distributed?" commented

Dean of Administrative Services Bill Berry.

Single Mary, a local rock band will be performing in the LCC
cafeteria on Monday March 4 from 1-3 p.m.

Whether the counties or the
state legislature will make
these decisions will (at this
point) be decided after the
voters decide if they want a
sales tax. "I would be much
more comfortable'' with the
county making decisions, says
Berry, who favors local control. Berry states that the issue
is complex and "I think what
they (those who favor state
controlled distribution)
overlooked is that we have
widely varying economic levels
all over the state."
The House did answer some
questions when it passed its
version of the sales tax
package. One key question until that point was whether or
not community colleges would
even be included in the
measure. The House Revenue
Committee originally voted
9-0 to exclude them but reversed its decision when Governor
Vic Atiyeh voiced strong objections to the exclusion.
.
Betsy Shand, an ASLCC
senator who leads the community college student lobbying team (PIC - Political Action Team), is outspoken
about inclusion of community
college funding in the sales tax
package. She objects but since
inclusion is no longer a

variable says, "We need to
raise our voice to insure some
kind of representation in
Salem.'' The idea of a community college chancellor is
one suggestion supported by
many community college
presidents as well as Shand.
Berry says, "I don't care if
we're in or out. We just want
some stability.'' He continues,
''We've all become fairly
adept at going through the
gyrations of (budgeting for) a
disaster plan. We need a stable
financial base so we can do
some planning.''
'' Stability is the crux of the
sales tax issue,'' says Shand.
Additional funding is not.
Community colleges wouldn't
receive more money to balance
their budgets. "It simply
substitutes dollars,'' Berry
states.
The state senate is working
on the package now and is
considering some revisions.
According to a Register
Guard report on Feb. 25,
senate Republicans would like
to schedule the election in
June rather than the house
proposed Sept. 17 date. They
feel this would give lawmakers
time to do something about
property tax relief if voters
don't approve the sales tax
measure.

ing to walk, and severe
behavior problems. Because
the virus attacks the growing
cells of the fetus, the birth
defects are never outgrown,
costing the family hundreds of
thousands of dollars."

As a result of the 1964-65
outbreak occongenitalRubeila
Syndrome (CRS), when the
United States alone counted
some 12 million cases of
rubella, victims and their
families paid an estimated $1.5
billion in medical-related
costs.
But rubella can be
prevented. Ing encourages all
women, particularly those of
child-bearing age, and all
children 15-months and older,
to be immunized.
Those who should not be
immunized are those persons
who have had the disease, or
have been immunized before.
Immunization is not recommended if you are pregnant or
intend to become pregnant
within the next three months.
Ing says people who are unsure of the status of their immunity should not be concerned because the SHS can perform blood tests to determine
if there is a need for the
rubella vaccine.

How do People of ethnic

Who takes care of the interests

Are men welcome in the

Equality means equity,
fairness -- active, open-minded
fairness and nondiscrimination against any person. In the
sixties the government had to
mandate Affirmative Action
guidelines through legal action
and legislative procedures to
assure equity. But morality
can only be legislated to a
degree, if at all. People may
legally have to follow the laws
of.the land, but their attitudes
and feelings can't be mandated: Attitudes come from
the heart, they have to be born

Without an attitude of acceptance for all People, fulfill-

pertains to non-discrimination
will always be a battle.
The collective voices -- the
representatives of all minority
groups -- are saying one thing:
"See us as People first."
Is that so difficult?

New budget cuts for LCC

by Cindy Weeldreyer

TORCH Staff Writer

It's budget planning time at
LCC again. Every department
of the college has its sleeves
rolled up, its pencils sharpened
and is giving its calculators a
workout.
The college administration
has requested each department
to reduce its current budget by
seven percent for fiscal year
1985-86. This request has

resources accordingly. LCC is

College-wide
communications occuring

Our college President, Dr.
Schafer, strongly believes that
a free flow of information
throughout the college is
essential to the smooth operation of our institution. For this
reason, he created the college
cabinet -- a body of six leaders
from the major groups on
campus (students, faculty,
classified staff, management,
etc.) -- which meets weekly to
receive information about
LCC and to share information
about each individual area of
the college.
Budget priorities now being set

A frequent topic at the
cabinet meetings this term is
the 1985-86 budget. During a
recent meeting, Vice President
of Administrative Services Bill
Berry informed cabinet
members there will not be a
uniform budget cut campuswide; however, LCC must
define what programs and

cuts that are currently being
considered. It should be noted
that budget cuts have been
made at LCC three out of the
last four years. This means
that department heads and
area supervisors are having a
difficult time since all the
"easy" cuts have been made.
Therefore, further cuts will affect more deeply the quality of
services LCC can provide.

ment basis.
Serious budget cuts on the
horizon

Since LCC departments are
still neck deep in adding
machine tape, it is not possible
for me to even speculate what
impact the proposed cuts will
have on individual departments. I do know that a seven
percent cut from the current
budget will have pretty serious
implications for LCC
students, particularly in areas
deemed a low priority such as
student services. Other implications involve a reduction
in course offerings and possible faculty and staff layoffs in
some departments.
Ask questions in your
department now

I strongly urge students to
begin asking questions now in
your own departments about

Pretty bleak picture you
say? Well take heart, there is
something we can do as individuals to lessen the degree
of budget cuts over the next
three years.
On Tuesday, March 26,
LCC has a serial levy on the
ballot to upgrade vocational
equipment, support economic
development programs and
repair roofs. If passed,
$510,000 would be levied each
year for three years only.
Vice President Berry says
the difference between a tax
base and a serial levy is that
the levy is a short-term
measure and the tax base is a
long-term measure to help
finance the college's operations. According to Vice President for Student Services Jack
Carter, passage of the March
levy would leave more money
in the general college fund for
individual programs and
therefore significantly lessen
the percentage of cuts in each
department.

adherence to mindless traditions,
and
our
own
unrecognized prejudices. And,
to the degree we are willing to
perpetrate injustices large and
small, to categorize any People, for any reason, we create
our own disability -- a crippling of our own spirit, which is
much more devastating than
any physical disability.
Like it or not, we have to accept the responsibility for the
results of acts committed in
the past -- learn from them,
because we are responsible for
changing, moulding and
enriching the future.
Our bodies, regardless of
what color, sex, condition, or

age they are, are merely the
package that carries around
the spirit of us: The ''who we
are."

We cannot look at the wrapping on the package first -- we
must seek the spirit of the individual inside. We must
nudge our own spirit out, extend it to meet that of the
other individual. When we can
achieve this degree of assimilation, the ties that confine us to
prejudice and discrimination
will fall away and allow us all
our innate right to be People
first. Then, equity will not
have to be fought for. It will
have been accomplished.

Don't dwell
on fear
To the Editor:

Being a victim of a robbery
isn't a wonderful experience. I
know, because I've been in
this situation.
I was robbed on Christmas
Day, 1983, in a convenience
store located near the University of Oregon. The entire
episode lasted only 20 seconds.
However, my experience
with the police and the media
was exactly the opposite of
Scott's, the victim of a robbery reported in last week's
issue of The Torch.
As soon as the robber left
the store, I called the police.
The radio dispatcher from the
station kept me on the phone
until they arrived. She was
very understanding and encouraging as she retrieved the
information she needed to
direct the police to the location.
Three squad cars were on
the scene in not more than two
minutes. The policeman who
asked me questions for his
report was very sensitive and
reassuring. He didn't
"interrogate" me in any way,
and I never had to go to the
police station for questioning.
The news of the robbery was
published in the Register
Guard and broadcast on
KMTR-TV. My name was not
mentioned in either case, and I
didn't have to request that it
not be mentioned. Both
mediums showed pictures of
the robber. Both pictures were
cropped so that only his image
showed.
I was fearful after the robbery, but my fear was evident
only at work. I dreaded going·
to work for a few weeks after
it happened. Eventually, I
managed to return to my normal work routine.
I'm still working at this
store, and I probably will t Jntinue to do so for quite a
while. I had to choose whether

or not a robbery would stop
my life from continuing its
normal course. I realized that
it's better to not dwell on fear,
but to gather the courage to
forge ahead. It's somewhat
difficult at first, but it's much
more rewarding the further it's
accomplished.

Sincerely,
Ann Smith

International Student Program takes
new direction, focus on adjustment
by Joe Templeton

for the TORCH

Next week, and again in
May, the International Student Program (ISP) will take
new directions in helping
foreign students in their adjustments to life in the
academic world as well as life
in the community.
The first of these new ideas
will be a small informal
LCC's

gathering
Multicultural Center (MCC)
Tuesday, March 5, from 3:30
to 5 p.m., Rm. 409 Center.
Anyone can drop in to the
open house event and ask
questions or just visit. Kent
Gorham, director of the MCC
says ''the idea is to make the
students aware of the MCC
and its facilities."
Gorham, Mason Davis,
Charlene Blinn, and Trudi
Parker make up the core of
staff of the ISP. They will be
directing these efforts from
their respective departments at
LCC.
''We have about 90 students
in the ISP and we want to get
them all involved in some
way," says Davis, a counselor.
The gathering on March 5 is
''only one of several projects,'' Davis continues,
''designed to make students
feel welcome at LCC. '' He added ''the ISP is a partnership
of nations and LCC is proud
to be a part of that partnership." Davis and the other
staff members say that several
of these events are planned in
the next few months.

Career Talks

On Thursday, Feb. 28, from 3 to 4 p.m., in Forum 309, Renee LoPilato,
LCC's Industrial Orientation Coordinator will discuss "Careers in
Robotics/ Automation." Ms. Lopilato will discuss careers in design,
manufacturing, operation, repair. Students will learn where training is
available, and where the jobs will be in Oregon.
Spring Term Registration

Remember, now is the time to stop by the Counseling Department to plan
class schedules for Spring term. Advisors are available Monday through
Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Be
prepared, plan ahead!
Academic Fair

On Tuesday, March 5 and Wednesday, March 6, representatives from 21
LCC departments will be in the cafeteria. LCC students will be able to view
slide presentations, class exhibits, and talk with instructors to ask questions
and get answers before spring registration. Don't miss this unique opportunity. Free door prizes will be offered by Food Services, the Bookstore, and the
Renaissance Room.
Transfer Information

Home Economics majors planning to transfer to a four year college should
meet with Judy Dresser, department chair. Information regarding course requirements and careers in Interiors, Foods and Nutrition, Dietetics, Clothing
and Textiles, Child Development and Family Studies, Consumer Education,
and Home Economics Education will be available. The meeting will be held
at 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 12, in Health 112.
Deadlines

Friday, March 1 -- Last day for grade option changes
Friday, March 8 -- Last day for schedule changes

"At the reception in May,"
added Gorham, "students
already in the ISP will work
with incoming students getting
them to share with us about
life in their country as well as
them as individuals."

The small events in the
MCC involving present
students will be helpful in May
when ''the ISP is planning a
reception for the new students
entering in the spring,'' says
Gorham.

Davis says "We want the
students to know that the ISP
staff is here to help them in all
academic areas as well as communication, personal counseling, health needs, food, and
housing.''

Maximize your summer job search efforts,
visit the Student Employment Services
by Shelli Toftemark

for the TORCH

Why wait for the summer
rush to get a job that may offer little excitement or pay,
when you can line something
up now?
Linda Kluver, coordinator
of LCC's Student Employment Service (SES), says that
now's the time to start looking
for summer work. And according to Shirley Perry, of the
SES staff, "The jobs go real
quick!"
Kluver expects an increase
in fast-food jobs this summer,
but SES is, by no means,
limited to fast food service in
its listing of summer work.
In fact anyone looking
through the SES book of summer job listing will find that
many of the jobs offer the
combination of travel, adventure, training, and average
pay, along with health
benefits, and opportunities to
work outdoors.
Several examples of summer
employment opportunities include: Work in National Parks
(various positions); work in
camps as counselors; live-in
child care on the East Coast;
road crews; tree planting, and
local forestry. There will also
be seasonal job openings in
construction, when summer
comes around, notes Kluver,
which she says means
employers will be looking for
people with building and office skills.

She encourages students interested in summer jobs to
visit the Student Employment
Service on the second floor of
the Center Building between
10 a.m. and noon, and I p.m.
to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday.
Monica Kutz, an LCC student who got a job through
SES, says the Student Employment Service is a ''really good

service" which offers jobs
suited to a students needs and
that the staff's recommendations help a lot.

upon the people of the United
States to observe such week
with appropriate ceremonies
and activities."
The Torch, wishing to
celebrate in an appropriate
manor, chooses to print
celebrated facts and points of
interest in the history of
womankind.
The foil owing facts were
derived from a text entitled
"Womanlist," compiled by
Marjorie P.K. Weiser and
Jean S. Arbeiter, published by
Atheneum Press.
Mothers of Invention
Kansi. At a Feast of Lanterns
on a muggy day in ancient
Japan, this daughter of a courtier was so warm that, in violation of court etiquette, she
removed her mask. To hide
the fact that her face was bare,
she began fanning herself with
the mask. All the other women
followed her lead. The actual
fan appeared soon afterward,
or so it is said.
Sarasvati. According to
legend,
the
beautiful
multiarmed Hindu goddess,
wife of Brahma, invented the
devanagari, the Sanskrit
alphabet.
Si Ling-chi, empress of China
ca. 2640 B. C., developed the
process by which the delicate .
thread is removed from the cocoon of the silkworm, then
established the silk cultivation
and weaving industries.
Sibella Masters, an early colonist, developed a new method
of cleaning and airing Indian
corn. This first American invention received an English
patent in the name of Mr.
Masters.

some local planters led her to
think of a machine to separate
the black cotton seeds from
the white fluff, a chore that
occupied many hours. She explained her idea to a young
schoolteacher from her native
New England who boarded
with her, and Eli Whitney has
been credited ever since with
the invention of the cotton
gin. Whitney built the working
model of the device in a room
provided by Greene, who also
suggested metal teeth to clutch
the seeds but slide through the
fine threads.
Anne Harned Manning of
New Jersey improved the cutting action of the early
nineteenth-century mower and
reaper by suggesting a combination of teeth on cutting
blades that could turn in a
crosswise or rotary direction;
her husband patented the invention.
Sister Tabitha Babbit, a
Shaker, invented the circular
saw. She got the idea for it one
day while watching her spinning wheel.
May Evans Harrington, in
1889, invented a "mustache
guard for attachment to
spoons or cups when used in
the act of eating soup and
other liquid food or drinking
coffee.''
Ruth W,akefield cut pieces of a
chocolate candy bar into her
drop-cookie batter one day,
thinking the chocolate would
melt and marble the cookies.
Instead, the crunchy bits remained and melted in the
mouth. Guests at Wakefield's
Toll
House
Inn
in
Massachusetts begged for the
recipe, and soon the cookie
was being baked in homes all
over the country. The Nestle
Company began to produce
chocolate morsels especially
for home versions of
Wak~fiel~'s creation; the
recipe is on the package.

A Printing Dynasty
Sarah Updike Goddard loaned
her son, William, 300 pounds
in 1762 to establish the Providence Gazette, but it did so
poorly that he left for New
York.
After repeal of the Stamp
Act, Sarah successfully started
the paper again, then she and
William undertook a similar
enterprise in Philadelphia.
William went on to establish
other newspapers, among
them the Maryland Gazette.
Mary Katherine Goddard,
William's sister, took charge
in 1774, when he went off to
war, and ran it profitably
throughout the Revolution.
Goddard was asked to print
the Declaration of Independence. In 1784 she
returned the venture to
William but continued to work
as postmistress of Baltimore
for several more years.

22, the ''White Train'' made a
90 minute stop in Vancouver,
Washington. The unscheduled
layover was caused by the
presence of 106 people sitting
in the train's path, protesting
the train's cargo -- believed to
be nuclear warheads bound
for the Trident submarine base
in Bangor, Washington.

Those protesters who chose
to be arrested sat between the

them were teen-aged members

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
(CISPES). This is the fourth
part in a series of articles
describing what she saw.
A political prisoner, confined in Illopongo (a woman's
prison), told Robin Braverman that rape is a common
form of torture in El Salvador.
The inmate told the
American tourists she was arrested when she asked police
where they had taken her
daughter. The mother was
raped. "She showed us the
scars the soldiers made with
their gun butts,'' Braverman
said.
The women in that prison
were
women
agreed,
tortured longer than the men.
Women held the interest of the
soldiers. Men who were imprisoned by the government of
El Salvador would either be
killed or released sooner than
the women, the prisoner told
Braverman.

Life is violent in El
Salvador, according to Braverman. And Braverman claims
money supplied by the US
Government is fueling the
war.
"The United States is sending a lot of military aid into
El Salvador. That money
could be used to further financial aid for students," she
says. But it isn't.
She claims the Salvadoran
government spends 65 percent
of its budget on the military
which leaves very little to feed,
clothe and house the people,
Braverman says.

This is why the American
student delegation wanted to
see Napoleon Duarte, president of El Salvador.
"We didn't want to talk to
Duarte about the political
situation. We didn't want to
politicize the situation at the
University. We wanted to
humanize the situation of
higher education,'' said
Braverman.
A place for people to agree to
disagree

The Americans did not meet
with Duarte. But they did talk
to American Ambassador
Thomas Pickering.
Braverman was spokesperson for the group. •

She said the USSA tourists
told Pickering the USA stands
for democracy, pluralism, and
freedom of speech. And that is
what autonomy means for the
National University of El
Salvador.
"(The University) is a place
for people to agree to
disagree,'' Braverman told
Pickering. And the USSA
delegation wanted Pickering
to pressure Duarte into funding the National University.
Pickering said he would do
what he could.
Mothers of disappeared linked
to violence?

The USSA delegation also
wanted to know why Roberto
Dobison, who is alleged to be
connected to the right wing
death squads in El Salvador,
was granted a US visa while, in
November of 1984, the
Mothers of the Disappeared,
who were invited to the United
States to accept the John F.
Kennedy Human Rights
Award, were denied visas by
the Reagan Administration.
According to Braverman,

been arrested by the government and never seen again.
The group does a lot of
human rights work, Braverman says.
However, Pickering told
Braverman and the other
students that the Mothers were
denied visas because the US
State Department has reason
to believe the Mothers were actively involved in violent activities. "Which," Braverman says, ''is a real hypocrisy
given what we saw.(And) at
the same time Roberto
Dobison, who is head of the
death squads was allowed in to
accept other awards," alleges
Braverman.
The USSA delegation asked
Cultural Attache Pen Agnew
for a Human Rights Report.
And Agnew said it would be
available the next day.
But the next day Agnew told
the delegation, "You can get
(the report) in Washington
D.C."
Braverman said she
understood that Agnew was
the representative from the US
embassy to the University.
According to Braverman,
"It really makes you wonder
who is trying to suppress
what.''

Campus Ministry provided 16
needy families with "baskets" •
containing food and toys for
Christmas -- • items collected
from LCC students and staff.
According to Assistant
Director Marna Crawford,
college students and personnel
have been nothing but supportive. ''The staff here at LCC is
concerned with the students'
mental and emotional needs,"
she said, "as well as their intellectual needs.''
For the "Sharing is Caring"
program, Campus Ministry
places collection barrels in the
LCC Bookstore and in front
of the Student Activities Office. Crawford was quick to
recognize the special contributions of some LCC people:
The Business Department,
which brought gifts for Campus Ministry to its Christmas
Party; the Fred Kitterman
family, which gave a gift certificate; and Debby . Scarbrough and Pat Stoneking,
who threw a Christmas party
and provided the program
with canned food and toys.
As a result of these efforts,
Campus Ministry was able to
assemble the 16 "baskets,"
which, in addition to the toys,
each included a turkey and
many other types of canned
food. Campus Ministry was
then either referred to, or
directly contacted by the 16
families which needed food.
Even though the holidays
are over, the work of Campus
Ministry is not. The organization, directed by Father James
Dieringer, operates 11 l /2

Kent Gorham

In his billfold, Kent Gorham
carries a rather worn clipping from
a 1967 Time Magazine. It's an excerpt from The Devil's Dictionary
by 19th century American writer
and cynic Ambrose Bierce.
It's Bierce's definition of
Friendship: "A ship big enough to
carry two in fair weather, but only
one in foul."
Obviously, it's a sad definition
of friendship. Gorham, speaking
of human relations in general,
would like to rewrite it with a statement of hope: That minority
groups and years of progress to
assure human rights won't be tossed out when a storm approaches.
He contributes his own definition of Friendship/Human Relationships: "There's room for two
or more in fair or foul weather."
He adds, "That's a universal
definition."

Women's Center
On the wall of Bev Behrman's
office in the Women's Awareness
Center is a lapel button that bears
the slogan: "There will be no free
men until there are free women."
Behrman says "Women (alone)
cannot make changes in society.
No one can take a society and have
it make changes without the other
half making changes as well, and
it's not easy for either half . ... "
"The commitment out of the
Women's Program is to assist
women to make progress that has
historically and traditionally been
barred, or blocked to them."

Disabled Students' Services
On Ashwill's wall, in her office
on the fourth floor of the Center
Building, is a poster depicting a
woman sitting comfortably in a
large cushy chair. The woman is
wearing a soft nightgown and an
alluring smile. A wheelchair, hers,
is leaning against the back of the
chair. The epigraph on the poster
says "Let's Be More Than
Friends."
Ashwill nods toward the poster,
then begins. "We have a real subtle battle that we have to fight.
Others do not see disabled people
as people -- as being sexual, someone you can have a relationship
with, let alone being capable in aa
employment situation.''

'Over 50' Students

The college deals with the needs
of women, minorities, and disabled people through active and ongoing institutional structures.
Although LCC's Goals Statement
promises to implement Affirmative Action for older people
too, on one in the college has
specific responsibility for assisting
older individuals, addressing the
issue of their equitable treatment
on campus, and monitoring possible discrimination.

College programs impler

What is the main function of the Multi-Cultural
Center (MCC)?
The MCC's specific function is to be available
to all students of any ethnic minority, to provide
information and support to these minorities, and
to monitor and seek to enha ce their eq : _ble
treatment on LCC's campus.
"The problems," says MCC Coordinator Kent
Gorham, "are ones of encouragement, and playing 'devils advocate' at the same time one is trying
to encourage. Not trying to decide things for other
people, but trying to help them make the correct
decisions for themselves."
Gorham says "There's a lot of give-and-take, a
lot of trust to be established, so that I or anyone
who tends to advise the way I do can compare experiences (with minority students), search out the
options, analyze strengths and weaknesses, and
then leave it up to the individual to decide what to
do with all the information."

What are your specific goals pertaining to the
equity group you represent?
As Director of the Women's Program,
Behrman states that her predominant task is to
work with women, to assure that they have ''equal
opportunity to pursue their goals, to have open
roads to study what they choose, and to complete
programs that they choose to study, without undue interference."
As part of the Program, Behrman works with
department heads and instructors to insure that all
programs are open to women, and are equitable
and fair.
Izetta Hunter, coordinator of the Women's
Center, counsels about 1700 people a year on an
individual basis -- and countless others receive a
variety of assistance from a staff of specially trained employees and work-study students.

How does the Disabled Student Services Unit
function and what are its goals?
The Unit works to provide support to the over
400 LCC students, either referred to the unit, or
identify themselves as having a disability. This
support takes the form of counseling, coordinating helper/ client services, and attempting to
monitor and assure students of equitable treatment as it pertains to both architectural and attitudinal barriers.

What are some of the specific issues the MCC
deals with?
Gorham says the biggest issues in battling racial
discrimination -- for people on both sides of the
issue -- are ones of attitude and awareness.
The MCC works to counteract any possible
discrimination against individuals who are of an
ethnic minority equity group. It provides information to further awareness of individual rights, and
it supports people pursuing these rights. "When
there is an attitude, the job is to create awareness,
and the attitudes should adjust," he says.
"The group which is going to be discriminated
against the most -- be it women, an ethnic minority, the disabled, or whatever -- is whichever group
doesn't know what its rights are .... '' And an individual in that group may make erroneous
judgments, may not take advantage of things that
are available, if the individual doesn't understand

What types of issues does the Women's
Awareness Center deal with, from the biggies
down to the less important?
Behrman says the Women's Center deals with
people's problems -- with anything from a broken
zipper to having been raped last night, or ten years
ago, or whenever" ... from the very mundane to
the very emotionally intense."
"Our commitment at the Women's Center is to
respect and to serve all people: All women, all
choices, all lifestyles. We're not here to make
judgments on people -- we're here to assist people
in getting on with their lives," states Behrman.
"People come to the Center with questions pertaining to the college, and to the community . .

mainstream of campus life, one dream/goal,

What are some of the specific issues that disabled students deal with?
''There are two biggies -- architectural barriers
and attitudional barriers," states Ash will. She
says the college is working through the architectural barriers one at a time. And "attitudinal barriers we are still working through, too."
To explain, Ashwill uses racial discrimination
("a hateful kind of thing .... with a really nasty
tone'') to contrast the kind of discrimination the
disabled person has to deal with.
"We get the reverse. We get patted on the head,
we get helped, we get smiled at in insincere and
false ways; we get cond ~cension and patroniza1

number, approximately one-fifth are over age 60,
while some are over 70.

LCC has been called "the 50-year college"
because it caters to, and is available to this crosssection of community people, many in their fifties
and older.
According to Sue Jordan, who works in the
Productivity Center and has access to all the
enrollment data, 252 LCC students enrolled in
credit classes are 50 years of age, or older. Of this

Is there a need for a special program, or staff
member, to promote equity for the older student
and monitor Ageism?
In a recent interview, LCC Pres. Eldon Schafer
stated "I would question whether many older
students) felt that special need .... they are probably here, very motivated to accomplish their
personal goals, whatever they may be."

The Disabled Student Services Unit (DSSU) has
recently changed in structure. Bjo Ashwill, who
was the unit's director, is now acting as an expert
consultant; Dolores May is the DSSU coordinator; and George Maumary is in charge of
Direct Aid.

And, he says, "Another is to see (minority
students) succeed in the dual capacity as students
and as individuals . . . to successfully complete
whatever programs they're involved in here, and
then go on to the next stage of their lives, whether
it is employment, additional education, or
whatever the case may be.''

What do minority students want to say to or ask
of the LCC community?
"Treat everyone as people, first," he says simply.
To further illustrate this, Gorham quotes H.L.
Mencken, an American writer, historian, and
philospher (1880-1956) who said: " 'Injustice is
relatively easy to bear -- what stings is justice.' ''
Expanding this to a corallary, Gorham says
"For every action there's a reaction. For every injustice there is a justice that will prevail. In other
words, with the fewer injustices allowed to exist,
there is a corresponding decrease in the need to
seek relief.
"We can all spend our time, resources, energy,
and money in other ways than in courtrooms" attempting to litigate anti-discrimination and Affirmative Action, "in improving the quality of our
educational systems and our lives, and by treating
everyone as people, first."

Are men welcome in the Women's Awareness
Center?
Generally, men are not inclined to come into the
center, but, states Behrman, ''men have to know
that, although this is the Women's Awareness
Center, we are open to and do see men."
Men as well as women are seen in individual appointments. "Men come here with their own concerns, and with concerns for the women in their
lives.''
As an example, Behrman described instances in
the last few years where men have come to the
Center on an individual basis to talk about the fact
that they had battered women and are desperate to
find a way to stop.

Ashwill describes the disabled person's general
plight as a "really interesting Catch-22" because
"on the one hand people try to over-help us -- put
us in cotton batting, take care of us -- and then
turn around and say 'Why are they so damned
dependent all the time? Why are they using the
system? Why can't they just be independent?'
Then they turn again and say, 'Let me get that for

How does the LCC Administration and its
philosophy assist or hinder you in your goals for
equity?
In an earlier interview regarding the implementation of Affirmative Action Guidelines, Gorham
stated "I do know that, in a general sense, there
are some areas that need improvement just as in
any sort of situation.''
He explains that Affirmative Action is only as
viable as the dedication and concern that
originates at the top and provides the impetus for
the 'rank and file' to monitor it and carry it out.
Regarding his experience at LCC since assuming
the position last spring, Gorham says "I don't
find any hinderance. If there is a hinderance it's
because the system is bureaucratic and it is not
directed at Kent Gorham or at Multi-Cultural
issues. It's just part of trying to put things
together and try to balance needs and budgets."

''(Due to legislation) nothing can be officially
closed to women, but programs can discourage
women's participation -- instructors can make it
difficult for women. That has improved over the
years, but, there is still more to be done," concludes Behrman.
How does the LCC Administration and its
philosophy assist or hinder you in your goals for
equity?

"A woman wants to have the same opportunities as her male counterparts -- the freedom of
choice without there being anything hampering
that choice that has to do with her sex ... To be
considered on an equal basis with any other person, according to her abilities.''

"If it were not for the Administration, and the
philosophy of the Administration towards equity,
the Women's Program would not exist," says
Behrman. ''The Administration and its
philosophy do not hinder . . . A decision could
have been made at any time during the last 10
years to not have a Women's Program. But we
have been in existence for 10 years. There is a
commitment on the part of the Administration,''
she concludes.

"We're not seen as people .... I'm amazed how
far people will go in this discrimination,'' she concludes.

How does the LCC Administration and its
philosophy assist or hinder you in your goals for
equity?

What's the biggest statement or request disabled
students want to make of the LCC community?

Ashwill says that five years ago there was no
one on campus who was specifically responsible
for disabled students needs. Then the college hired
her. And she says she "really feels listened-to."

''Treat us like we were you. Because we are .

"If you treat us like human beings, without the

patronizing (us), without looking down on us and
without the opposite -- which is to show us incredible respect (we cross the street and someone goes,
'How wonderful, you crossed the street! I have
such respect for you folks!'). "Without all that. ..
. just deal with us like human beings.
"If you like us, you like us; if you don't like us,
you don't like us. But (like or dislike us) based on
who we are individually. If everyone does that, the
architectural barriers would melt away, the attitudinal barriers would melt away." And,
Ashwill says simply, people could live together
equally.

Yakima succumb s to Lane's defense,
by Darren Foss
TORCH Sports Writer

LCC's men's basketball
team stayed alive in the Northwest Athletic Association
championship tournament by
defeating Yakima Valley CC,
85-74, Saturday, Feb. 23 at
Yakima, Wa.
The win advanced LCC into
the quarterfinals today (Feb.
28). LCC will face the Tacoma
Titans at 4 p.m. in Yakima.
On Saturday, LCC played a
well balanced game. In the
first half it put up a strong battle before going into halftime
trailing by one, 43-42.
The Titans came out strong

in the second half, played
agressive defense, holding
Yakima to only 31 points and
causing 15 turnovers. LCC
took the lead for good with
5: 13 to play when guard Pat
Bodine hit an 18-foot jump
shot, which was followed by
Kevin Leonard's key lay-in on
the next possession. Yakima
was forced to foul down the
stretch and LCC secured the
victory, hitting six of eight free
throws in the final 1:30.
LCC had a balanced scoring
attack, with four players scoring in double figures: Kevin
Bloom led the way scoring 22
points and collecting 9 re-

bounds; to earn LCC Coach
Dale Bates' "Player of the
game" honors. Leonard
poured in 18 points; Jerome
Johnson had 17; and Lester
Jackson added 11. Rick Kay
led the Titans in rebounding,
collecting 10 and Kevin Lee
pulled down 8.
"We had a real solid performance," said Bates. "The
bench (players) played well. In
the second half we were exceptionally strong and played
with superb intensity defen-

sively, and I think that carried
over into our board play.
Bloom, Kay and Lee really
took charge and dominated
the boards in the second half.
The bench came in and kept it
rolling and that was a big key.
"We forced Yakima out of
their defense and they took
hurried shots,', concluded
Bates.
The win gave LCC victory
number 20, while it has suffered only 8 defeats this
season, and set up "The Clash
of the Titans'' today. LCC left
earlier this morning for
Yakima to take on Tacoma,
champions of the NWAACC

ed record of 21-3.
Over the weekend Bates
went to Tacoma to scout.
Bates says, "they have a real

off guard. They're very tough
inside with a lot of good 6' 5"
and 6' 6" players ... They are
well coached, have patience
and discipline.
"We're gonna have to play
tenacious defense. Their front
line is as big as ours or
stronger and they probably
have stronger depth in the
front line.
"We have to play real
strong inside. I anticipate a
real tight, close ball game.',

for the TORCH

A weight-guessing contest to
benefit LCC's Women's
Basketball program is the
latest effort in the on-going
fundraising season for the
various athletic programs at
LCC. According to Sue
Thompson, LCC women's
head basketball coach.
Money raised from the contest will go to the Women's
Basketball Development
Fund, which is used for tuition
waivers and basketball shoes.

'' At a lot of the community colleges they
provide shoes as a part of the equipment, but
Lane doesn't," Thompson said. "Some of
my kids can't afford the approximately $60
it costs for a pair of high-top leather basketball shoes.''
The object of the contest is to guess the
combined weight of the LCC team's ten
players, two coaches, and the basketball pie-

tured in this edition of The Torch. They were
weighed while dressed -- as they are in the
picture. The winning entry will be the closest
to the correct weight.
The cost to enter is $1 for one guess, or $5
for eight guesses. The winner will receive a
$50 gift certificate for groceries at Safeway.
All entries should be taken to the Athletic
Department Office.

and in most cases Ford is convincing and natural.

Patti LuPone, Jan •Rubes,
Lukas Haas and Alexander

World. Directed by Peter
Weir, cinematography by
John Seale, produced by
Feldman Co. and David Bombyk.
"Witness" is one of those
movies that transports us - as
every movie should · - into
another world. In this case the
cast and crew engulf us in the
world of an Amish community
in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
The story line is murder
mystery -- it's a tale about an
Amish boy who is sole witness
to a murder in a train station
bathroom. Harrison Ford
plays a detective who investigates and finds several of
his colleagues at the root of
the drug related murder.
He transports the boy,
Samuel (played by Lukas
Haas) and his mother Rachel
(played by Kelly McGillis)
home to the safety of Lancaster County and holes up
there himself, trying to recover
from a bullet wound, as well
as trying to formulate a plan
to apprehend the criminals.
Ford deserves mention for
his portrayal of a Philadelphia
detective with thick moral

will not allow themselves to be
photographed, so many extras
were needed to fill the
neighborhood.
Another
outstanding
feature of this film is its appearance. The composition is
beautiful and interesting.
Point-of-view varies, the pace
is appropriate, and the lighting
appears completely natural •
even during scenes portraying
the low light of gas lamps.
Peter Weir's direction is undoubtedly responsible for
much of the convincing nature
of this film which, besides
entertaining us, gives us a
glimpse into a culture whose
quiet, "plain" existence keeps
them out of the usual
limelight.

as "The number one

Born in 1930, Liddy was

at the U of O on March 6.
Law School where he was
on the Law Review. Liddy
then served in the army and
the FBI. After practicing
private law for a short time,
and serving as Assistant
District Attorney, Liddy

joined the US Treasury
Department in 1969.
Thereafter he was attached
to the White House for
special duties and then joined the Committee to ReElect Nixon as counsel
where he remained until
1972.
• During this last period
Liddy developed his
greatest notoriety. In 1973
he was tried and convicted
of a number of offenses
related to the Watergate
break-in and cover-up.
During his trial, Liddy
(unlike his co-conspirators)
refused to divulge information about the break-in.
In 1977 President Carter
comm~ted his 20-year
sentence to eight years and
he was released from prison
in September of that year.
Since his release, Liddy
published two books: Out
of Control and his
autobiography Will, a best
seller.

''For a long time I dealt
with portraying art realistically. I tried to hide from color,''
says Craig Spilman. And now?
''I'm kind of like a kid with
colorpots. ''
Such youthful enthusiasm
and glory in vibrant color is
readily observed in his "Bull
Series," renditions of cattle.
Like his Bull Series, he says
most of his work involves concrete objects. "I deal with subjects that are within my own
arm's reach."

, But not all his art is so
material or readily explained.
When asked about the
enigmatic "Sniff--Homage to .
Art Historians,'' Spilman
grinned and said, "No comment."
This exhibition will be held
in the LCC Art and Graphics
Department Gallery until
March 15. Gallery hours are
Monday through Thursday, 8
a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday 8
a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be a
reception in the gallery on Friday, March 1 from 8 to 10
p.m.
Mccorkle will hold an informal review of her art in the
gallery at noon Monday,

Dear Editor,
In response to a recent article in the "Torch" concerning
the dropping of cross-country
in favor of soccer and
volleyball, I must say, I think
the idea is ridiculous.
Dropping cross-country
would only deprive LCC of
one if its most successful, most
recognized, and most exciting
sports. Eugene is not a running town, it is the running
town, and the runners at Lane
are a big part of it.
I came to Lane because of
the previous success and tradition that the cross-country and
track teams have shown. This
tradition draws some of the

-~--

feel that voters would reject
the measure because of this
clause.
One proposed control is a
constitutional property tax
limitation similar to the limitation of $15 per $1,000 of
assessed value -- along the
lines of November's unsuccessful Measure 2.
The Senate hopes to conclude its work on the measure
by the end of March.

Congress of HR 100, the
African Relief and Recovery
Act of 1985.
The bill would appropriate
$1 billion for food, $177
million for inland transportation, and $229 million for
medical supplies and blankets.
Three months ·are needed from
the time aid is pledged until
food actually reaches hungry
people, hence the need for immediate passage of HR 100
without delay and without
amendments. Congressman
Weaver is a cosponsor of this
bill in the House. Concerned
citizens should write or call
Senators Hatfield and
Packwood to cosponsor the
Senate bill.
Of equal importance is
passage of the Food
Assistance and Africa
Agricultural Act. This bill
would (1) shorten and improve
the U.S. response system in
famine situations and (2)
establish, with the help of
other donor nations, a special
Africa account within the Infor
Fund
ternational
Agricultural Development:
U.S. contribution would be
$150 million over a 3 year
period and would assist Africa
in recovering from its
agricultural crisis.

This is the ninth in a series of excerpts from a history of the Eugene Vocational School, one of LCC's predecessors. Published by David Butler of the
LCC College and Community Relations Office and reprinted by permission.
Copyright, 1976, by Lane Community College.

"The boys that got there first were the lucky ones.
Each building had only one woodburning barrel heater
right in the middle of the floor, and that was the only place
you could get warm, near the barrel.
"And, of course, once the heaters got going, they
melted the snow on the roof and water started leaking in .
You'd just get settled down when a leak would start. I think
we spent all night just moving around from one dry spot to
another. "
Life during the days of the National Youth Administration camp at Skinner Butte was disciplined. In
many ways it had all the trappings and feel of an Army
boot camp, and in other ways it was Boys Town .
Lorie Cross, who got to the camp from his home in
Lafeyette by hitching a ride on the back of a flatbed truck ,
said he's never seen anything like it.
"We had a system there I've never seen anywhere
else, and the amazing part about it is, it worked. We
elected our own representatives to the camp government,
we elected a sheriff, a mayor ... it was just like a town.
"Everyone had a say and everyone had responsibilities to keep things shipshape."
Things were indeed kept shipshape, mostly by
camp director Bill Lyons, an ex-warden from the Oregon
State Penitentiary, and the chief cook and roustabout, a
man called "Sailor". Sailor could easily have been
typecast in the movies as a hardnosed top sergeant or
crusty old Navy chief, which is exactly what he had been
for several years. Many NY A boys had run-ins with Sailor,
but O'Sullivan was one of the first.
"The first job I had when I got to camp was to mop
the kitchen area every day after meals. Anyone who's
been in the service will know what that's like.
"The guys in the barracks who had the floor detail
would always grab the mops-there were about a dozen
of them-on Friday night and hide them so they'd be done
early on Saturday morning and be allowed to go to town
for the afternoon. I was still green and hadn't figured out
what was going on, so on the first Saturday I was supposed to work, I looked around and-no mops.
"I went in to Sailor's little office and told him I
couldn't mop the floor without a mop and what did he intend to do about it. Sailor just said, like he would have in
the Navy, 'You will mop that floor with or without a mop',
period.
"I told him where he could go and went to see Bill
Lyons. He told me to go back and tell Sailor to order 12
more mops and I could go on into town if I wanted."
Sailor was furious that O'Sullivan had gone over
his head but eventually forgot .about it and the Great Mop
Crisis passed. Meanwhile O'Sullivan had become
notorious because of the fearless way in which he had
stood up to Sailor ar.d was elected camp sheriff.

student voted. This gives
students·an opportunity to ensure the quality and availability of the programs and services currently offered at
LCC. The only drawback is
that the election falls on the
first Tuesday of spring break
-- a time when many students
want to "forget about school
for awhile."
Therefore, the senate will
have applications for absentee
ballots available in the Student
Resource Center (SRC) (2nd
floor Center) beginning next
week.

The SRC can also register
you to vote and will even

election.
Additionally, the ASLCC
will provide information on
the serial levy and on candidates for the three zone positions on the LCC Board of
Education.
Do your part: Be true to your
school program
Generally, this type of election draws only a light turnout
to elect school board positions
and decide municipal tax bases
county-wide. For this reason,
the 7000 plus LCC students
could pass their own levy if
every student voted! Last
November our tax base passed
in Lane County by 70 votes
and was defeated by 600 votes
from Linn and Douglas Counties. As the saying goes . . .
don't get mad, get even! The
Beach Boys said it best -- "be
true to your school!''
PLEASE VOTE YES FOR
LCC ON MARCH 26!
