Lane Community College 4000 E. 30th Avenue Award Winning Student Newspaper May 2 - 8, 1985 Former LCC Dental Hygiene student files Eugene, Oregon 97405 Bill Mullin receives 'Innovator' award by Linda McDonald TORCH Staff Writer Bill Mullin is a special sort of instructor -- at least that's what the League for Innovation believes because they have awarded him the Innovator of the Year A ward for 1985. As I interviewed Mullin with his gracious but temporary bass voice, (due to a cold) I began to see some of the characteristics that denote this person as a total giver in the field of education. Mullin's excited enthusiasm and down-to-earth rapport with his students gives one a sense that this man genuinely likes being in the classroom. He tells his students about how he decided to give up a sales career with a six-digit income and go into teaching because he wanted something more fulfilling. After wat- ching the interaction between Mullin and his students, it would be hard to determine who is reaping the greatest rewards from his career change. The dictionary describes an innovator as one who begins something new. And that is exactly what Mullin has done. complaint He and two associates, Jim Keizur and Mick Cheshire, have devised a computerized testing system called Computer Message Instruction System, or CMI. The way the system works is that it is fed and stores objective-type questions. An instructor can pull out a set of 20-100 questions to be used on any given test. This set of questions is then available to students as they come into the computer lab to take the test. by Ellen Platt TORCH Associate Editor Vicki Ramaglia, a former LCC Dental Hygiene student filed a complaint regarding her treatment in the program during Winter term of 1982 and presented her case to an LCC hearings committee on Monday, April 27. Ramaglia, Dr. Douglas White - head of Health Occupations, and Judy Blue Dental Hygiene instructor, made their statements before an informal hearings committee composed of LCC administrators, staff, and students. Ramaglia, who initiated the complaint process last May 17, delayed filing her complaint because she ''wanted to get a Computer Programming degree (at LCC) and was afraid of retaliation.'' She also felt the administration had not been helpful, or expedient in pursuing her complaint. Ramaglia seeks a refund of her tuition ($400) and student loan expenses of $1666, plus 9 percent interest; removal of the 7-credit F grade in Dental Hygiene; a written apology from the Dental Hygiene department for "their neglect and lack of concern on my behalf;" a written apology from the LCC Administration for ''their neglect and lack of concern'' in investigating the situation and acting; and regular, anonymous evaluation of instructors by students Hearing_(cont. on page 10> ~ Sociology instructor Bill Mullin has down-to-earth rapport with his students and genuinely likes being in the classroom.

Schafer says "is an exceptional recognition of the fine work that's been going on at Lane for many years." Schafer announced the national recognition during a retirement reception held for him by college staff Wednesday afternoon .. Schafer retires this July after 15 years at LCC. KLCC CORRECTION In the April 11 editiof! of The Torch we printed a mistake relating to KLCC funding. KLCC does not receive $40,000 a year from money awarded to OEPBS as the article stated. Station The benefits of the CMI are many, but primarily it frees l·the instructor to use classroom -c: ~ time for instruction -- as the ~ student takes the exams for J that particular class on his a.; own time. The CMI can be used as a teaching unit by allowing students to take the same test as many as six times, and reinforcing the material to be learned. :§ Manager Jon Schwartz says the station receives almost $40,000 from the federal Corporation for Public Broadcasting but no money at all from the State of Oregon. LCC and the other top community colleges were selected for such factors as student success, strong presidential leadership, teaching excellence, and national recognition. The ranking resulted from a study coordinated by Dr. Hohn Roueche, a professor at the University of Texas-Autsin. ''This ranking was an exceptionally pleasant surprise,'' Schafer says. "It's not surprising to us that . we meet the criteria for excellence. It is surprising that national experts rank us at that level." In the top five, LCC joins Miami-Dade Community College of Miami, Florida; Jefferson Community College in Louisville, Kentucky; De Anza College in Cupertino, California; and Central Peidmont Community College of Charlotte, North Carolina. A national panel of 14 experts in community college education helped rank the colleges in a survey conducted by the Community College Leadership Program at the University of Texas-Austin. With the other top colleges, LCC was picked by the national panel because it: • is recognized nationally for student success; • recruits and develops students while maintaining and improving quality (access and excellence); • has strong presidential leadership, especially toward instruction; and • selects, evaluates, and rewards exceptional teaching in keeping with the comprehensive mission ofthe community college. "This recognition means more than the many awards Lane has received over the years," Schafer says. "This stands especially high in my estimation because experts from every one of the major colleges that teach community college education established the criteria and ranked the institutions." Perhaps the greatest timesaving advantage of all is that the system does most of the paperwork for the instructor. Within seconds, it can prepare a printout with each student's name and test score, and show the curve for each test in the class. The CMI also has message capacity. If an instructor needs to see a student about something, the message can be entered into the computer so that when that student comes in to take a test, the message will flash on the screen. To my delight, Ann Bacon, Supervisor of the Center Computer Lab, sat me down to sample this mechanical genius. Being a complete novice at computers, I skeptically sat down and ordered up a Social Science test. After getting two out of three questions right, I was hooked. Bacon said that she has observed a decrease or even elimination of "exam jitters" by students taking the test on this system. And that it saves department secretaries a huge amount of time because they don't have to type up each test.

The ASLCC Senate is facing a serious budgetary challenge next year -- as many LCC departments are -- so talk with each candidate and discover his or her strategy to meet this challenge. I believe the ASLCC president should not use his or her elected power to influence an election. Therefore, I am not endorsing any candidate and leave the responsibility with you to be an informed voter. All four candidates are sincere in their desire to serve you and make the ASLCC even better. For whatever reason, only a handful of candidates filed for other senate positions so there are numerous write-in candidates in the election this year. Next Monday and Tuesday May 6 and 7 - you will vote for candidates and two ballot measures. Both measures, if passed; would strengthen student government for many years. With the entire college experiencing budget cuts, you need a strong student govern- ment - now more than ever - to ensure the inevitable cuts don't fall squarely on your shoulders. Ballot Measure 1 A proposal to increase the mandatory student body fee from $3 to $5 per term, this is· necessary for three reasons: • A $6,246 cut in our budget by the college administration, • Reduced enrollment -- our major revenue source and • Increased operating costs due to inflation. Your current senate realizes that college costs are increasing and we are lobbying hard to defeat proposed cuts in federal financial aid. We also realize that unless you main- tain a strong student government the costs and cuts will continue to increase without student input. We provide numerous programs and services for LCC students and - even with the increase - have one of the lowest student activity fees in the state. Should the fee increase proposal fail, many of the excellent programs we've created in the last fifteen years must be eliminated. The LTD bus pass subsidy, the free telephones, and legal services would be discontinued -- services used by the majority of the student body. (Legal services would continue until the contract expires in 1986.) The Student Resource Center would experience a 50 percent reduction along with the ASLCC secretary and club funding -- elements of student government which set us apart from the other Oregon community colleges. Election funding would also be cut in half. Historically, ASLCC elections were often poorly run -- a problem recently solved by increasing that budget and hiring more student workers. I've attended monthly student association (CCOSAC) meetings this year and, having your department representative -~ if you are unsure of who your representative is, contact your department office or the ASLCC office.

The Torch May 2 - 8, 19~5 Page 3 Organic gardening by Sharen Hulegaard TORCH Staff Writer ''People have been organic farmers since time began -- is there really any other way?'' asked Lynn Coody, president of the local chapter of Tilth, a Northwest organization promoting organic agriculture. Coody spoke in a seminar entitled ''Organic Farming, Can It Work?," on Tuesday, April 23 as part of the Earth Week Activities. "In organic farming, the main focus behind the methods that we use is to work with nature. We study nature and try to mimic the cycles and systems ... that work on the earth," stated Coody. Coody voiced the belief that "everything we buy is a vote for what we want to happen in 'our society - we vote with our dollars." Organic farmer's and their clients can "vote" by dealing with businesses that support organic farming and by buying only organically grown produce. Coody contrasted organic and chemical farmers. "Chemical (using) growers are supporting a whole different section of society than organic growers. A chemical farmer has to support a system that is exploitive of people, of health, and of wages.'' ''Chemicals are taken up systematically by plants ... they can't be washed or scrubbed off ... they are inside the tree the apple grows on, and they're inside every cell of that apple that you eat,'' cautioned Coody. "Next time you're at a produce counter think of this." After Coody's talk, John Graham, local member of Tilth presented a slide show he has developed entitled "Urban Rural Partnership,'' which lists the organizations in Lane County promoting organic agriculture, from financing to marketing. ''Organic farmers strive for self-reliance,'' explained Coody. They work to achieve a small system that tends to be labor intensive -- employing actual human labor in jobs such as hoeing, mulching, running tillers, etc. And they utilize smaller hand tools rather than ''huge monolith equipment,'' according to Coody. Energetic council plans for future by Linda McDonald electricity will be needed over the next 20 years and when that power {vm be needed, • developirg a plan to protect fish aq.d wildlife in the energy program, and • involving the public in power planning on the local, st.ate, and federal levels. In meeting with these goals, the Council is the interacting link between Bonneville Power Administration, the utility companies, and the public, states Curtis. Curtis, Couch (BPA), and Helgensen (EWEB) all agreed that conservation is the most prominent and least expensive power resource available today. In 1977, EWEB instated a conservation program (called The Super Good Sense Program) to advise residents on weatherization and conservation processes. Helgensen says the program, which started with five employees and now has 50 employees, has succeeded in weatherizing 14 percent of the housing in Eugene. He says there are currently six thousand people on a waiting list for home audits, and that the program hopes to have TORCH Staff Writer "The Council has to determine how much electricity the region is going to need over the next 20 years and develop a plan to meet that need,'' says Ruth Curtis, representative for the Northwest Power Planning Council. Curtis, along with Doug Couch from Bonneville Power Administration (BP A) and Don Helgensen from Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) spoke to a group of about 20 students and faculty Thursday, April 25, in an information session as part of the Earth Week activities. Curtis described the make up of the council (which serves Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and western Montana) as a group of eight persons appointed by the governors of those states for their ability to make decisions and plan for the energy future. She said the council holds open meetings every three weeks at different locations in the region. First organized in 1983, Curtis said the council has three main goals: • Determining how much UNEN students oppose Reagan's support by Karen Irmsher TORCH Staff Writer It's not unusual for Central American college students to be killed, imprisoned, or to become one of the "disappeared," according to three students from Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador who spoke April 26 in the Forum Bldg. as part of a five week speaking tour of the us. They asked for the support and help of US students in persuading the Reagan Administration to withdraw financial support from the region, and each told why it seemed necessary. Cesar Sarmiento, a Nicaraguan physics major and member of the nine person ex•ecutive committee of the national Union of Nicaraguan Students (UNEN), says the changeover from the Somoza to the Sandanista government severely· disrupted education, but that the situation is now improving. It would be much faster, he says, if so much of the country's resources weren't going to fight the contras. Also, students are often enlisted to work on projects in the mountains that will improve the overall living conditions of the people. "The contras have assassinated many students doing this work," says Sarmiento. He thanked the US Congress for their recent refusal to release more funds to support the contras. .. ~ i ~ ~ ~ iiiii,,,.._ __ . Angelica Alba from Guatamala, Oscar Rodriquez from El Salvador and Cesar Sarmiento from Nicaragua talk about educational struggles. Angelica Alarcon Alba, an architectural student and member delegate of the Association of University Students of Guatemala (AEU), said that "for the military government of Guatemala, education, health and housing are not their concerns.'' ''Teachers and students are systematically assassinated,'' she said, "and university buildings are often bombed" because the students have joined in the struggle against the military dictatorship supported by the US government. Oscar Alfredo Rodriguez I an economics major and member of the Executive Committee of AGEUS (Salvadoran National Student Association), said that i although the National Univer-sity had been shut down and occupied by the military for four years, this stopped neither the students nor the student movement. Two thousand students and teachers carried on classes outside the university, he said. They are now struggling with reopening the badly damaged school. He claimed that the government the US is supporting has killed more than 600 of his fellow students, and currently holds 52 in jail. Alba said, "We have learned to make the difference in what is the policy of the US government and the high will for peace and friendship which characterizes the people of the US." Two local groups, Sandunga and C. Rider Dance Co. preceded the student speakers, and they were followed by the Wallflower Dance Troupe, formerly of Eugene but now based in San Francisco, and Shumba, a_i Eugene based marimba ba~d. Since the Northwest is currently experiencing a power surplus, Couch was asked about the possibility of BP A selling power to the Midwest area. Couch said that the idea is being considered. However, it would necessitate purchasing a major power transmission line, and the cost of that purchase might outweigh the profits of selling to the Midwest. Also, says Couch, when considering a new market, ''We have to be certain that we will be able to service that market above and beyond our regional needs." He said that BP A already sells occasional power to Northern California, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. WEDDING BANDS from $19 98 Choose from the largest· selection in Oregon. Lifetime guarantee.

The Super Good Sense Program is a plan that offers incentive to home builders to use more conservation techniques in the construction of new homes. And commercial property owners are just starting to become interested in the weatherization program, says Helgensen. Helgensen pointed out that EWEB's utility rates are among the ten lowest in the nation and that EWEB customers currently pay two cents per kilowatt hour. That's a 200 percent increase over the 1974 rates of one cent per kilowatt hour but wholesale power costs should be stabilizing and hold off retail rate increases in the near future, according to Helgensen. Doug Couch, speaking for BP A, said the process of making changes in power administration is a tricky one when working with a twentyyear forecast. He emphasized that costs of new projects must always be weighed with the projected income of future power use and that, as in any business, financing changes are always a gamble.

Presidential, Vice-Presidential Serena Brooks Deanna Bowden Having been in student government this last year, I have had the opportunity of learning the procedures, and the personal involvement it takes to produce results in an organization such as this. This year, student government has made a number of accomplishments on all levels affecting students from personal assistance, to club and department support, campus programs and national awareness activities. On the personal level, programs such as tax assistance, library typewriters, grievance system awareness, a wheel chair for the health department, and Wednesday's tea and coffee were channeled through the ASLCC. On the club level, the Japanese Cultural Club, the LCC Association of Radio Broadcasters, Denali, Titan Pep Club, International Club of LCC, and the Lane Dance Theatre were all ratified as clubs. Student government supported the Art Department lecture series, sponsored a dance after the women's and men's basketball games, supported Denali, and became the largest contributor to the mural fund. On an even wider scale, the senate joined the Community College Ski Ball in order to provide a low cost skiing trip for students, organized Peace Week, Family Awareness Week, and Earth Week. Other business included forming the Student Advisory Committee consisting of a / departmental support, ineluding the Athletic Department.

We'll see you at the polls May 6 and 7. lt'-s unfortunate for all that students aren't aware of all that ASLCC does for them. Because national and international issues are more easily seen and noticed, the many campus issues that the senate addresses quietly slip by. Our biggest concern is in directing our energies to immediate student concerns and creating quality campus-wide awareness for students and staff. Not only do we plan to increase communication between student government and studen.ts on the main campus, but also between the Cottage Grove and downtown centers as well. Utilization of the Student Resource Center as a means of visible communication is in planning and better organization and timely upkeep of the topical suggestion box is in order.

Two ballot measures slated for election day by Jackie Barry TORCH Editor Monday May 6 and Tuesday May 7 is ASLCC Election Day on campus. Elections will take place in the cafeteria from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Students must present their student ID card to vote. Besides candidate elections there will be two measures on the ballot. Ballot Measure 1 ''Why pay more?'' asks the pink ASL CC flyer referring to Ballot Measure 1. A majority of yes votes for Ballot Measure 1 would increase the student body fee from $3 to $5 per term for main campus, credit enrollees. A $6,246 cut in General Funds to the ASLCC from the college, increased costs and reduced enrollment make this increase necessary, according to the ASLCC flyer. Passage of the measure would make the ASLCC financially self-sufficient, as it would also reliquish additional General Fund monies amounting to $3,263, as a result of the passage. This according to a memorandum sent to Jack Carter from the ASLCC. Carter announced at a recent Board of Education meeting that this final General Fund sum is listed as a proposed cut, also. According to ASLCC Senator Ellen Radcliffe the following areas will suffer cuts if Measure 1 doesn't pass: • Fifty percent across the board cuts in the ASLCC secretary's salary, the Student Resource Center budget, the election budget, club promotions, and the cultural budget (already cut 50 percent from 1983 according to Radcliffe.) • One hundred percent cuts are expected in the LTD bus pass subsidy program, free telephone service and campus support services (these include ASLCC contributions to pro, grams such as Denali, KLCC, Student Health Services, The Torch's color cover, etc.). "And we'd still have to cut $4,000, '' says Radcliffe. In 1984-85, the ASLCC administered a $77,107 budget. If Measure 1 passes, the proposed budget for 1985'...86 will be $89,925 according to ASLCC estimates. If the measure is defeated Radcliffe estimates the budget will be reduced to $52,755. This year's ASLCC budget included the following expenditures: • $20,073 for legal services (provides an attorney on campus 20 hours per week as well as miscellaneous operating expenses), • $12,130 to administer the photo ID program, • $9,000 in expenses relating to the Cultural Program and • $37,790 for student services which include $4,000 for the president's salary, $9,684 for the secretary's salary, $3,870 for fixed payroll charges, $1,600 for operating supplies, $500 for the SRC (used this year to buy coffee), $2,000 for travel, $450 for CCOSAC (state community college association) fees and dues, $800 for telephones, $1,000 for elections (pays for publicity, voter's guide and staff for polling and counting votes), $800 for club promotions, $4,800 to subsidize LTD bus passes, $2,000 for capital outlay (student lounge and library typewriter maintenance), $1,200 for Earth Week and $4,766 for contingencies. statements -- Scott Hammer and Derek Phelps. ON BALLOT: Senatorial Randal Scovel 1. I find it difficult to evaluate how the 1984-85 ASLCC administration has performed its duties this past year due to the lack of communication with the student body. I believe that an administration's merits directly relate to the integrated involvement of the student body, student government, and the local community. Goals for this coming year are: A. Creating this integration B. Increasing revenue .through fundraising utilizing various departments, and the resources in our own student body. C. Widening the scope of our support services and facilitating access to these services through advertising and promotion. 2. I personally feel that since financially ASLCC is running at a severe disadvantage, that my efforts will be focused first on our student body and local community, but never losing sight of our humanitarian responsibility to our brothers and sisters of our planet. Kevin "E.Z." Olmstead 1. This year's student government has done a fine job in taking care of their duties and responsibilities. What I have not seen is the direct communication between the students and their government. I would like to have seen more activities that directly involved a greater number of students. Our school is more than a place for academic learning, it is a place for people to broaden their understanding of our world and the people who inhabit it. 2. Our ASLCC main objective is to focus on issues that directly relate to the students who attend school here. Our school has a vast number of students of different nationalities. So issues of interest to our students can come from the campus, national, and international areas. WRITE-IN: Senatorial Marie Sode 1. This year's student government showed a real concern about human affairs. They made a lasting commitment to a wide and diverse audience. Earth Week drew in a lot of solidarity. Unfortunately, many people missed a great day Friday because they didn't know! - As a caring candidate I'd like to focus more attention to student activities. Art is significantly lacking in the bulletin boards. Let's turn-up some low-budget decor. I'd like to fill a senatorial position and help ratify or write in other sincere students. ASLCC '85 faces a challenging year. I support the student fee increase. Keeping the phones and bus subsidy is a must. Compared with $50 at the University, we get a lot of benefit from our allocation. Encourage yourselves to vote this term. 2. As a pregnant veteran you can't forget, I'll be back here next year finishing my A.A. I'd like to thank a lot of people I didn't meet for ASLCC '84, and graduates, and new friends. There is a cooperative future ahead no matter what and student government is going to bring it all together and present a growing representation of LCC. Let's keep the campus issues at hand. We need better networking. The Women's Center and Campus Support Services help everybody. I think cultural highlighting will remain a strong point at LCC.

Bringing to bear their years of experience, the two men skillfully decide on the most likely location of the missing piece of equipment, and the most effective way to retrieve it. They're not police, detectives, or the FBI. Dave Rosen and Phil Powers are LCC media technicians, and retrieving misplaced audio-visual equipment is one of the various services they perform for LCC staff and students. Their base of operation is the southwest corner of the library. From here, surrounded by television sets, movie· projectors, video units, and tape recorders, they coordinate the scheduling and distribution of approximately 800 pieces of Audio-Visual equipment. In fact, according to Powers, ''No two days have ever been the same." The two are also responsible for upkeep, set-ups, and minor maintainence of audio-visual equipment. In addition, they are cinematic coordinators for the Language Arts and Social Science departments, as well as consultants for any special presentation at LCC, such as graduations and conferences. Powers has programmed computers for many of the departments on campus, and is often called when departments need computer Both men assistance. with the Channel 20 telecourses when the necessity arises. In fact, they deal with ''everyone from President Schafer on down." But distribution can be tricky at times. Demand for equipment often exceeds the inventory, thus keeping track of gear is one of the hardest parts of the job. For example, the library has only 2 half-inch video units to serve the entire campus and operate the approximately 500 half-inch VHS video cassettes.

Maybe something was lost in the translation.

Last Friday, LCC's Theatre opened its final play of the season with a marvelous interpretation and the audience seemed, indeed, to understand Moliere's farcical humor -baroquely Americanized as it was. And Director Stan Elberson gives the audience more than just good humor. ''The Doctor'' exposes audiences to a bit of theatrical history; productions were commonly acted out from pageant wagons as they toured over the European countryside in the 1600's.

Now, the U.S. government and the energy companies are attempting to force them from their sacred homeland to make way for coal, uranium, and other mining and development interests. The plan (P.L. 93-531 ) will cost U.S. taxpayers over $500 million, and sets July 1986 as the scheduled completion of "relocation."

The government is stepping up pressure to complete the relocation program in the face of mounting evidence that successful relocation is impossible.

TORCH Sports Editor Responding to an April 26 Torch story regarding the Athletic Department budget cuts, Dr. Frederick Loveys, Head of Health, Physical Education and Athletics, defended his reasons for initiating the cutting of soccer and the Intramural Director position. Soccer • ''The athletic program has exceeded its budget over the last two to three years, and even without the institution's (LCC) cutting going on, I would have still re-inserted an athletic program to live within our means," said Dr. Loveys. • The decision to cut soccer was based on a balanced program. The elimination of soccer will even LCC's Athletic Department to four men's and women's sports each. • Soccer Coach Dave Poggi is the only part-time instructor. • The soccer team's travel expenses are too high. "I didn't compile merits of the soccer program against the baseball program in terms of win-loss records," said Loyeys. "I took into consideration the FTE costs (time on the road, therefore less study time)." Last week, Poggi said LCC's soccer team would raise its own money if allowed to stay in the NW AACC. But Loveys vetoed the proposal, saying, "it raises the spectre of Tulane (University). The private individual would have financial control over the program. "It puts the coach in the business of fundraising and out of coaching ... coaches should be academics and sports leaders, not hustlers," said Dr. Loveys. NWAACC move justified Dr. Loveys feels the Athletic Department's decision to jump to the NWAACC two years ago was a sound one. "I think the decision reflected a weakness in in-state competition and the only sport that personally suffered was men's basketball and what they were able to do prior to the joining of the NWAACC (making its own schedule and building an impressive w-1 record)." LCC's wins have put a financial burden on the department, not the scheduling, according to Dr. Loveys. "Because of the successes of the teams and the citing of the regional championships in Washington, this has put a tremendous burden on our expenses.'' Ahead of the pack Intramurals Director Dr. Loveys' proposal to compensate for the demise of the Intramural Director will include:Appointing two part-time advisors to oversee the extramural and intramural aspects of the department, who will report to Athletic Director Sue Thompson. '' I think the overall reorganizational plan adds a lot of merit," said Thompson. "We haven't even scratched the surface yet -- we need to utilize our facilities -- more special events (high school championships, student needs, etc.) -- we have excellent facilities." Both Dr. Loveys and Thompson agree that the department has outgrown itself and needs changes. ''Mitch (Allara, the Intramurals Director) has been reporting to me, because I wanted to review the actions he's responsible for," said Dr. Loveys. "In many respects, these activities have not changed in four to five years . . . we need to have club sports beyond men's volleyball, and have recreational activities that attract more than a half-dozen people in the evenings."

MEN by John Egan TORCH Sports Writer For LCC men's track members Mark Cumer and Roy Session this has been a season of few disapointments, and Saturday was no exception. Cumer won three of the throwing events, and Session placed first in both the 1OOm and 200m, participated in both relays, and added a second place finish in the long jump. LCC's men's track team cruised to an easy victory in the LCC 4-Way Meet. Ron Breuninger provided Session with some friendly competition as both sprinters tied for first in the 100 meters, and Session edged his teammate by a tenth of a second to . win the 200m. Breuninger also ran the first leg of Lane's winning 4x400m relay team. Cum er, however, didn't receive too much competition from anyone. Cumer won the hammer, shot put, and discus, keeping up his season long consistency. His most convincing victory came in the discus where he out threw his nearest competitor by over 19 feet. LCC also got first place finishes from Brace McGi!livary in the steeplechase, David Hunnicut in a close 400m event, Pat Lanning in the 400 intermediate hurdles, and Kevin · Bloom in the high jump.

By the end of the meet LCC had racked up a total of 86 points, easily out distancing second place finisher Linn Benton. And, along the way, established eight new personal bests, while qualifying four more athletes for the NWAACC Championships. In the 100m, Dierdre Thomas pulled off a season's best of 12.5 to tie for first, and former LCC hoopster Dawn Smoot finished third. Smoot proved her versatility by also placing second in both the javelin and shot put, as well as running the second ·leg of the 400m relay. In that event Lane improved its season best to 49.7 with an easy victory. But according to Head Coach Lyndell Wilken, "has a lot of room for improvement.''

The Titan's offense was shut down by Saints pitcher Dave Veres, who allowed only two hits. Gary Fonnesbeck went the distance for LCC. In game two, the Saints jumped in front early, scoring a run in the first inning that proved to be the game winner. Mt. Hood went on to shut out the Titans 7-0.

LCC capitalized in the eighth on a Dan Vidos single with one out that drove in speedy Ken Fox from second base for the game winner. In game two, LCC built an early 3-0 lead after two innings. Umpqua finally got on the board in the fifth, cutting the game to 3-1. The Titans added two more runs to put the game away 5-1, before Umpqua scored two more.

Clackamas came out hungry in the first game, jumping to an early 5-0 lead in the second inning -- capitalizing on LCC errors.

Obviously the climates between the two cities are very different. "I had to get adjusted to the rain ...

Stating she "was treated unjustly, in a cruel, intimidating manner in my conference with Mrs. Blue," and on several occasions in class, she contrasted this treatment with that of another student, whose father is chair of the Oregon State Board of Dental Examiners. The other student received a test score one point higher and reported having a favorable, positive conference with Blue, said Ramaglia. White said sometimes the faculty's attempts to advise 5tudents are not always construed as helpful, and noted that strong coping skills are needed in a vigorous program such as Dental Hygiene. In addition, Ramaglia objected to a change in course requirements, (added to the course syllabus by Blue on Feb. 24, 1982), which increased the number of student patients to be treated in the course of the term. off the syllabus, but the memo was sent two weeks before the end of the term. "Every student received it (the memo) and was subject to the clarification,'' and had ample time to complete the work. Ramaglia also described class records as unrepresentative of her academic progress in the program. She did, however, admit experiencing some difficulty with time management and record keeping -- factors which form the basis for part of the grade in the dental clinic. :;;:::::,~~i::::';i::::.:;.0.~=~=:;;::i:~ LetterS_____!cont. from page 2) public service.

Serena Brooks dedicated To the Editor, In the past year, working with Denali, I have shared office space with the ASLCC. Although our organizations are separate, I have seen the day to day work of the LCC student government. In watching the individuals involved in a detached, yet intimate manner, I am convinced that Serena Brooks was the most dedicated, hardest working member of the ASLCC this year. I personally can think of no better candidate for student body president next year and I am proud to endorse her candidacy. Sincerely, Robert Ferguson Assoc. Editor Denali Real revolutions are quiet ones To the Editor, My goal as this year's Earth Week Coordinator was to inspire. My sincer~st hope is that I was not the only individual for who this hope was realized. The Eugene City Council and the Lane County Commissioners have declared this Earth Week and have recommended all citizens and Doctor-(cont. from page 1_> the character of Geronte is luke warm, so we miss out on Michalek's powerful potential. Dominique Sepser, Lucas' wife and Geronte's wellequipped wet nurse, brings with her a genuine French acccent. She enhances her clever schoolgirl coquetry with a good sense of timing as she trifles with Sganarelle and enfuriates the jealous Lucas. Wendy Spahr as the daughter of Lucinde, and Gregory Cole as her lover Leandre, make a perfectly appropriate couple. Spahr has strong delivery and poised carriage -- when indeed she does regain her speech. And Cole's head of long, blond curls is almost as interesting to watch as the character he plays. Also in the cast are Paul Benoit, Jim Freeman, Aaron Lewis, and Renee Jones. The dancers, under the choreography direction of Anne Egan, include Joe Acosta, Chapin Arnold, Chr~stie Clark, Ann Dolan, Sara Lombardi, and Eric Maxwell. Combining ballet steps and mime activity, the dancers employees strive to protect the air, water and land we enjoy. The University of Oregon Survival Center and Lane Community College were mentioned and commended for our efforts in this work. At a past Earth Week, two time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling told standing room only crowds ''that now was the time to take unprecedented actions to save the world." During this year's Earth Week similar messages were sent. Francis Moore Lappe urges the reclaiming and redefining of the value of democracy in •terms of real practical choices in daily life away from politics and back into the economic arena. If our future is to be based on real human values we must begin within our own individualism to build a democracy which we have not been born into but we must create. These changes are made daily. It isn't fun. It isn't terribly exciting. It means growing up, being responsible, taking power. The real revolutions of our time are the quiet ones. · Examples for me are Lloyd Marbet working on Proposition 9 and food irradiation, Citizens Action for Lasting Security working on White Train, Oregon Natural Resource Council and Arable working on protecting nature and organic practices. These are some of the contacts which made this Earth Week worth missing a few classes, working the long hours and fun. Mary Ridge ASLCC Senator former Earth Week Coordinator introduce the three acts with their own little, satirical shadows of the story as it unfolds. The costuming certainly compliments the historical setting being presented. Nancy Julian mixes fabrics and laces and styles with an interesting balance considering the contrasts of characters who play opposite each other. Masks used by the dancers and Sganarelle are a classical touch designed and constructed by Greg Cole. Audiences who know their Moliere, love Moliere. For people who are less familiar with farces and satire, the LCC production is still an enjoyable experience. And it serves as a reminder that theater didn't always have flashing light systems and synthesized musical accompaniment. It's also a laughable look now at how human nature hasn't really changed much in the past 300 years. And there's nothing lost in that translation. Performances continue through Saturday, May 4. Tickets are $5 (two for $5 with student coupons). The LCC box office number is 726-2202.
