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 coming to LCC cafeteria ~ ~ j t ; ~ ~ l 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.

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 women want to be treated? How do People of ethnic minorities want to be treated? Who takes care of the interests of the older student at LCC? Are men welcome in the Women's Awareness Center? 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 and grow -- to be nourished. Without an attitude of acceptance for all People, fulfill- ing the spirit of the law as it 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? We are all one people, living on the same earth -- and in the case of those of us at LCC, studying on the same campus. We all eat, sleep, laugh, cry, love, and feel both pleasure and pain. We are all black, Hispanic, native American, white, Asian; man, woman; old, young. We all have disabilities -- set our own limits, build our own cages. We are all able to perpetrate large and small injustices on each other.

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 LCC's department heads and area supervisors figuring and refiguring their budgets and making some tough decisions on priorities for their individual areas. projects are priorities for the college and reallocate its resources accordingly. LCC is now in the process of setting some criteria to evaluate the final percentage of cutbacks on a department by depart- Serial levy passage lessens blow 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. Election info and voter registration in SRC The ASLCC Senate believes that LCC students alone can pass the March 26 levy if each Forum --<cont. on page 10> 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. ==:=:=::::.i:=~=Q=~~= 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.

Student Advising News 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 at 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 .. . Registration .. . Schedule Changes ... Transfer Information ... 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."

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.

This was not Flanagan's only claim to immortality; James Fenimore Cooper made her a character in his novel, The Spy. Betsy Metcalf created the first straw bonnet made in the United States in 1798. Margaret Knight was only 12 when she came up with the first of her 27 (or more) known inventions in 1850; she would later be called the "Woman Edison.~' Her creations ranged from a shoecutting machine to a device that folded paper bags with square bottoms.

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.

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.

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 steel rails in the train's path, and were carried away, their feet dragging through the mud.

Almost a third of them were teen-aged members of a group calling themselves "Youth." Others included white-haired elders, clergy, and one woman with a sign on her back reading, '' Please be careful. I'm seven months pregnant." I Department of Energy (DOE) officials would confirm neither the train's cargo nor schedule. Nevertheless, a network of train watchers along the route kept demostrators well informed, and the train was met by protesters in Kanand Montana sas, .Washington. The DOE uses the train to transport nuclear weapons from the Pantex weapons plant in Amarillo, Texas to the Trident base in Bangor, Washington about twice a year.

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, the Committee of the Mothers of the Disappeared in El nona is Salvador governmental group of women whose family members have When the train and its ominous cargo finally rattled away, thin slits were visible near the tops of the low, doorless cars. Through those slits could be seen eyes, peering back at the cheering crowd. Sharing and caring 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.''

''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 months out of the year, and continues to provide needy students with food -- giving Next week, part five.

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." Bev Behrman 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.'' ~ t._____...... Q Bjo Ashwill '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 provide services for equ 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 . . .things like 'I don't have any money, how do I get on the energy assistance program?' Or 'how do I get free food?' From 'I need clothes for my where the students could meet, feel accepted and comfortable, rest and perform work while on campus. While Ashwill says students need to be in the mainstream of campus life, one dream/goal, discussed for many years is a "Center" or lounge 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 with people being tion.

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. a:~ 1985 i~,~==:F,~\,:Ii~~ :~1:::::::::::~==~i;:;~:::~i~i;;;=:~::::v~;,ii;,~1:t1=m:rffiit,1ti1 =«~ - ~rs;; The Torch February .-~ hlplement Affirmative Action Guidelines, r equity groups, and combat discrimination. .ny possible pare of an les informal rights, and hts.

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." e Women's the biggies children,' to 'I have to write a term paper on (the) ERA, do you have information about that?'

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.''

Why are they using the system? Why can't they just be independent?' Then they turn again and say, 'Let me get that for you, dear.'

What do you feel is the biggest statement, or request, of the equity group you represent, to the LCC community? ''Women are saying, and have been saying, that they want the right to choose ... what they want and how they want to live their lives," replies Behrman. At LCC that involves "what they want to study -- what careers they want to go into. Page 7 Story by Sharen Hulegaard 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. Who goes to LCC? Men Women Unreported Total 3293 3964 5 7262 Thtse fi1ures are for Fall Ttrm, 1984. Statistics courtesy of Sue Jordan, .

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- 11111111 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 Region II, who have a compil- ed record of 21-3. Over the weekend Bates went to Tacoma to scout.

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.

LCC Track Member, Devin Allen 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.

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. FOTU,n----(_cont. from page 2) 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 ''spring for the postage'' to mail it in for you! A word of caution: If you have moved or not voted fu1. awhile or want to change your party affiliation you must rer~gist~~ before t.h~ March 26 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!
