Lane Community College 4000 E. 30th Avenue Award Winning Student Newspaper May 23-'11, 1985 Committee hears second complaint by Ellen Platt TORCH Associate Editor A complaint filed by a former LCC Dental Hygiene student was the subject of a hearings committee meeting on Friday, May 17, in the LCC Boardroom. Lynn Glasco, who filed the complaint, and her advocate Toni Irish -- as well as Beth Edwards, Sharon Savage Hagan, and Sharon Chandler from the Dental Hygiene D e p artment and their representative Douglas White, head of Health Occupations -presented their views to a committee composed of college staff, faculty, and one student. Glasco's complaint, filed on April 12, 1985, centered on Scholarship information session offered The Muliticultural Center will be sponsoring a Minority Scholarship information session from noon to 2 p.m. on May 28 in Center 409. The purpose of the session is to acquaint minority students with scholarship opportunities and deadlines that will be occurring between now and the fall term.

Eugene, Oregon 97405 New helicopter training program offered at LCC in fall of '85 what she -- and three witnesses, Lisa Bosworth and Emily Gilpin, current Dental Hygiene students, and Patrice Dirksen, a 1979 graduate of the program -- described as: '' Inconsistencies in instructor's teaching methods; and policy changes in course curriculum, and contracts with indid vid ual students about coursework to be completed;'' and lack of support from the faculty for students in the program. ''Often when you asked questions, you were criticized,'' Glasco says, ''there often wasn't time to ask for help." In December of 1984, Glasco received a letter from the Dental Hygiene Department notifiying her of inadequate academic progress. Her first formal written statement of complaint was made on December 4, and in midFebruary, a meeting was scheduled with White, to discuss the problem. According to Hank Douda -- director of employee relations and chair of the Hearings Committee -- he, Glasco, Bosworth, Gilpin, and several other students met with White, but were unable to resolve the problem. On March 22, 1985, Glasco filed a formal complaint initiating the hearing process. Although the complaint process guidelines specify a 15 day period for setting a hearing date, schedule conflicts moved the date from May 6, to May 17.

Soccer Vice Pres_ident of AdSoccer team member Ed ministrative Services Bill Berry Garrow spoke to the board in favor of reinstating soccer to the Athletics Program. Garrow stated that the soccer team has been raising its own money for five years and that he felt Coach Dave Poggi was a good fundraiser. Vice President of Student Services Jack Carter stated that the athletics budget has been in deficit for two of the last three years. He said LCC would "have to find a way to fund the program more adequately or make some reductions.'' Carter also stated there have been ''significant difficulties with running a self-funded program in the past." He used national travel as an example. ''In some cases it worked and in some it didn't," stated Carter. In one case players ended up on a trip without enough money and left debts behind as a result, according to Carter. In statements made in late April to Torch Sports Editor Ron Gullberg, Athletics Department Chair Frederick Loveys stated that the decision to cut soccer was based on a balanced program. This cut Board (cont. on page 10) In addition, Evergreen Helicopter Service, a national helicopter company, has given the college an updated jet helicopter which will arrive around the second week in June. These two aircraft will be maintained by the Aviation Maintenance Department and leased to the Flight Technology Department for · instruction. Hagberg says that he has seen a lot of community in-. terest in the new curriculum and has received ''7 to 8 calls a week from persons in the area wanting to know about the helicopter program.'' He feels also that it will attract more students to the Flight Training Program at LCC.

Those opposing abortion describe the physical horrors meted on the unborn (please see letter from Michael Cross below) and recently some opponents have bombed abortion clinics. Those favoring choice aren't quite as vocal -- their emotions come into play, for the most part, when they're participants in the abortion procedure. Making such a decision and seeing it through is no~ a liberating, high-times experience. Many women have second thoughts_ ab?ut whether another ch01ce might have been better. And minor surgery is not fun. There are two main questions that affect this situation: Should women be allowed to make choices concerning whether or not they bear a child after it's conceived? Should un~orn children have th e same nghts as the already born? 1~ a democratic society, inhabitants are free to speak and do as they please -- as long as the~ don t hu~t anybody• Which hurts a child more -- to be ~borted a~ three months or to hve an exi stence of neglect and/or abuse? Unwanted children are a sad lot. There are institutions full of them in the United States. Their sweet, unhappy faces only anger their parents, who aren't fit to care for them. What immature being (whether because of age or emotions) can truly love and nurture . the existence of another human being that demands attention naturally and constantly? And what rape or incest victim could truly love and nurture a child conceived by such a violent, traumatic act? food -- the network is all volunteer. Due to Ronald Reagan's budget cuts, funds for the surplus food distributions are likely to be eliminated. Mary Hope, the local referee for FOOD for Lane County, indicated that there is a possibility of another distribution this summer, but she doesn't expect the program to continue into the fall of this year. The surplus food distribution program is of direct benefit to students. On May 15 the ASLCC helped distribute 4,080 pounds of cheese and 2,250 pounds of flour to our local community. This represents a subsidy to 730 students households, serving 1,897 people. It is typical of government to cut programs that provide "subsistence level'' services to lower income groups. I want to urge everyone on campus, whether you qualify for free food or not, to please write to your elected representatives in Con- . gress and directly to Uncle Ron himself specifically requesting continued funding of the Department of Agriculture's Surplus Food Distribution Program. Those sorely in need of these commodities include fellow students like ourselves, the unemployed, the elderly, and the infirm. I want to express my personal thanks to all the people on campus that have contributed to these last two food commodity distributions; students, staff and administration. It is heartwarming to see so many unselfish people finding time & space to donate for a worthy cause. Thank you one and all! Please try to find the time to send a letter to your congressman/woman. Someday you might have to live on Social Security. Working with all the volunteers this quarter has been a personally rewarding experience. Thank you again for the privilege. How can someone say it's compassionate to take an infant in the womb and tear it apart, limb from limb, in a D and C abortion? How is it compassionate to replace amniotic fluid with a saline solution and burn a child's skin off? Some children are born alive during a saline abortion and I doubt if their screams are screams of joy. If NARAL considers abortion a compassionate act, then if I ever need help I think I'll avoid asking a NARAL member for assistance. I would rather they not render me any compassion. ;Z:i:1:i:~=='.====~~~:xa::::;.:.:::.:.:~0~:=:::;::::: FOOD needs your help helping others To the Editor: This quarter it has been my privilege to participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's food distribution program.

That's like Hitler saying he loved Jews - so he decided to end racial prejudice once and for all, or Stalin saying he felt sorry for Ukrainian peasants and that's why he sent seven million to meet their maker -- the Soviet way. Michael Cross 1877 Brewer St. Eugene, Or. How should society adjust to disparities To the Editor: In order to diffuse any motivation to ''name call,'' and still encourage healthy discussion, I would like to summarize the position that I took last week. I am not inclined to oppose women in the work force. I would like to know how our society should adjust to the disparities and injustices that the combination of industrialization and equal rights create. I recognize the prevalent attitudes of chauvinism and feminism in this country, and neither side appears to care about the overall welfare of society. Unless a compromise is reached between the two factions, the power struggle will continue to promote the problems that I have mentioned. One lady suggested to me that the elderly could care for the young. That seems to be more of an answer to my question than what someone "sticking up for their rights" has to give. Steve Kimball LCC student Children need and deserve a constant, neverending supply of this love and nurturing. This is hard enough to give to a child that you want despera~ely. Convicted mas~ murder~r C:harles. Manson is a classic disaster m the realm of the unwanted child. The world would certainly be better off (and I think Charlie might've been happier, too) if he'd been sucked through a catheter. And don't the rights of the unborn include the specter of what life will be like? Since a fetus with a few cells for a brain has no way of judging what life will be like, the responsible parties (mother and doctor) must weigh the factors and make the decision. If anti-abortionists want to do something about what they think is a problem, bombing and guilt tripping is not an effective answer. The problem is not the frequency of abortion but the fact that unwanted pregnancies are real and often quite serious situations. If anti-abortionists really wanted to solve this problem, they'd follow the example of people like residents of The Farm in Summerville, Tenn. who will care for prospective mothers and then adopt the ensuing offspring with no strings attached.

The Torch May 23Feature by Sharen Hulegaard TORCH Staff Writer The instructor stands in front of the class wearing a white bicycle helmet adorned with two American flags, a flashing light bulb, and two "brain probes." His attire: A dark blue t-shirt imprinted with the words "Oodles of Utils," and Levi 501s. In his hand is a "Utilometer," an "instrument" which, he explains with delight, is something he's worked on since graduate school and, as fate would have it, which he has just perfected "at 2:30 this very morning!'' He humbly equates the importance of his "discovery," to the science of economics, as "similiar to Einstein's working towards the ultimate explaination of the interaction to the processes of the universe.'' Or course, the textbook explains, the theory in words and pictures, the chart on the blackboard proves the theory, but it is Burrows' zany demonstration that plants it in the minds of his students -- probably forever. The course is Economics. The instructor is Bill Burrows. And the class is entranced. Students sit in awed silence, but occasionally a "what's-he-going-to-do-next" titter ripples through the room. Next he takes a small plate of cookies and a glass of milk from a cardboard box. He slowly eats and sips, while the Utilometer measures his consumption against utility (his satisfaction). At first, each additional cookie gives him satisfaction, but after so many, the Utilometer indicates that satisfaction begins to diminish. He says, in fact, that he might throw-up if he continues to consume. Charting the Utilometer results on the blackboard he shows that as his consumption increases, his utility decreases -- and -- presto, he's demonstrated the economic law of diminishing marginal utility. It's just one of many graphic demonstrations Burrows provides to drive home the sometimes hard-tograsp, basic economic theories that he teaches. On other days hfs props have included a bundle of mock dynamite and a small garden spade to illustrate the tools "The Fed" uses to regulate the economy (if you wanted to transplant a small bunch of begonias in your garden, which would be the most powerful, and which the most effective, he asks); and a pair of huge men's boxer shorts adorned with red hearts (to illustrate the concept of elasticity). And sometimes, Burrows' students have been transported to a small model community where the theories of economics can be built oil a micro level. He humbly names the community Burrowsville. It's ruled by a benevolent but absolute dictator (guess who) who doesn't practice laissez-faire economics -"That is for the rest of the world," the dictator says. So Burrowsville is a rather bizarre but interesting place. Student inhabitants are usually fed well -- on Burrow Burgers produced by a small community business striving to maximize its profits and find out where its ''marginal cost curve crosses its marginal revenue curve.'' What's Bill Burrows , 1985 Page 3 worker Ken Murdoff. "And he's fun to be around." In keeping with his philosophy that entertainment and teaching can be synonymous, Burrows' lectures are always seasoned with personal anecdotes that render him genuinely human. And something is always happening to him. As a relatively new son-in-law, he entertains students with stories of his nervous attempts to forge a favorable impression on his in-laws, lest they reel their daughter back home in horror. And, on another day, the class roars in laughter as Burrows sheepishly tells of forgetting (again) that Wednesday is garbage day: He describes his triumphant pajamaclad dash, garbage in hand, to ·beat the truck to his garbage can, only to slip in the mud on his descent back down the driveway -- much to the amusement of his wife, Liz, and the garbage men. • going todo next? Photo by Gary Breedlove The small economy has only so much money available (Burrow Bucks, of course), and only one bank to borrow it from -- Bill's Bank. On one occasion, Burrowsville had to decide which two products to produce, and in what amounts, in order "to achieve maximum use of available resources and labor in a production possibilities curve." The benevolent dictator decided on lima beans, and whoopie cushions. Lima beans and whoopie cushions? Burrows' lessons in this case are the free market theories of supply and demand, and the balance between nutrition and entertainment. The vivid picture of the theories of production decisions stay in the minds of students. Who could forget the images of a community which erringly, for awhile, decides to produce whoopie cushions and just have fun, but soon realizes that by lowering production of lima beans it quickly becomes too weak to bounce around and frolic on the whoopie cushions. Soon, with proper juggling and decision making, it achieves a workable balance. Sometimes after a stimulating lecture, interspersed with a constant repertoire of his special kind of wit, Burrows will ask hopefully, "Kind of interesting isn't it?" (Silence) "Don't you think so?" (Silence. Titter) "I'm telling you, it's interesting!" But students really do agree. ''Burrows is the only person I know who has the kind of personality that can make economics an interesting course,'' says Clint Black, who is in his third term with Burrows. "I really, really like what I'm doing,'' Burrows confesses firmly, emphasizing his philosophy that entertainment and learning can be synonymous. " ... and I really like and care about people.'' Occasionally, when a situation necessitates his acting like a "normal," traditional teacher, Burrows explains apologetically that "in Teacher's School they tell us we have to do this . . . " But, in fact, Burrows has never been to "Teacher's School," has never formally studied pedagogy. He earned a bachelor's degree in both economics and psychology from the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (the city where he grew up and attended high school), and a master's degree in economics from Southern Oregon College. But his students say he knows how to teach -- that he gives a lot, and gives it in an entertaining sort of way while also expecting a lot. After a recent test he heard the usual amount of grumbling and flak. One student complained, "I hated your matching questions -they were tricky, horrible.'' ''Thank you," Burrows said, smiling. Sensitive to students' needs, Burrows is always looking out at the sea of faces, watching for responses. What does he watch for? ''Oh, I count the yawns ... I look for people in the back row looking at their watches and then slapping them a couple of times to see if they're still running," he jokes. Then, seriously, he says "I look for furrowed brows, concerned looks, glazed expressions . . . a lot of subtle signs. You just feel something when people are worried, doing badly, feeling frightened -and I try to respond to that." And, he says, "I try to·be accessible as possible to people." He makes everyone aware of his office hours, makes special appointments, arranges study-sessions when the material is especially difficult and warrants extra time. He gives out his home telephone number with instructions to ''Call me if you get stuck and just can't see a way out.'' He has received as many as 10 calls in one evening. Sometimes Burrows claims to have vivid dreams about his students. One morning the material in class was particularly difficult and tension was running high. That night he dreamed he got out of his bed, went sleepily into his kitchen, and found four or five students sitting at his kitchen table with textbooks open. They immediately began asking him worried questions. When he really did awaken, he admits he crept quietly down the hallway in his pajamas to peek carefully around the corner, to see, to his relief, an empty kitchen. "He is a man with a sense of humor who is willing to use it to make a point or illustrate an idea,'' says psychology insturctor and co- Burrows has disclosed that there was a time in the not too distant past when he was "riding the crest of the hippie generation'' complete with a ponytail down to the middle of his back, and a counterculture lifestyle to match. Then, he says, gradually, reality set in and he realized, "I'm not going to change the world, but I might be able to affect a little corner of it. And I can do that more effectively from within (the system). "I've changed a lot on the outside, but not on the inside as far as what I feel is right and wrong," he says. Ex-hippie, shoe-shiner, construction-worker, mechanic, and counselor, Burrows now dwells on the fourth floor of the Center Building amid instructors of psychology, sociology, history, and anthropology. His office door -- 440 -- is a puzzle of pictures, cartoons, and quotes that tell the observer a unique creature abides within. "We constantly debate whether to commend or commit him," says another co-worker, Social Studies Work-Experience Coordinator Joe Kremers. "He probably belongs in a large building with a lot of doctors and nurses and soft walls. But, that's not important now. We're stuck with him. Besides, he's kind of cute -- in a pathetic sort of way." · Economics is a heavy-duty class, with charts, maze-like graphs, innumerable formulas and theories to understand. Burrows reminds students over and over that rote memorization will not suffice. He advises them to do what he does: "Make it make sense to you! Take it (theory or formula) apart wordfor-word, piece-by-piece, line-byline. . . . Draw a graph of it. . . . Understand it." Maybe someone will make a Utilometer. And as the year draws to an end, Burrows' students emerge into the real and large economic world knowing much more about the decisions that must be made on a large scale. But the intricate theories and ideas are much easier to understand now because they have had the unique and pleasurable, often zany, and always entertaining opportunity to have lived, for awhile, in Burrowsville.

Moran, 23, says people are more surprised by her age than the fact that she's female. But she feels that her age and being a woman is motivational to students -- both men and women. When asked what it's like to be a woman in what was once predominantly a male career, answered, Moran ''Sometimes, when the student is a male and older than I am, people assume that he's the instructor and I'm the student. But I'm treated more just as a person than a woman flight instructor.'' Moran decided to make a career in aviation for the same reason as second-year student, Peggy Keith -- because she loves flying. Both Moran and Keith say they were enthralled with flying the first time they were up in an airplane. Keith says that the program demands so much dedication that between school, cooperative work experience, and a part-time job, she is working around the clock. Upon graduating, Keith plans to instruct students until she has gained enough hours to move into corporate aviation. She says she also likes acrobatic flying. Moran says she would also like to move on into corporate aviation, or maybe work for a commuter airline.

Chances are he handles your transcripts, financial aid checks, and personal letters because nearly everything -even junk mail -- passes through Jay Weeden's hands. Every day Weeden, LCC's mail courier, tackles the large volume of mail, beginning and ending his day at the mail processing facility in Springfield. A recent LCC survey indicated that the mailroom handles an average of 500 pieces of intracampus mail on a daily basis, and a total of 9,000 pieces from on and off-campus in a week's time. Weeden picks up and delivers twice each day to offices on the main campus and once a day to the Downtown Center and Work Activity Center. He also makes a weekly stop to the Retired Senior Volunteer Program in downtown Eugene. Security and Auxiliary Manager Paul Chase, Weeden's supervisor, says "Jay has a very vigorous job and a complex route. He has refined the route so that every department can anticipate when its mail will arrive and it will be picked-up." ''The mail run is personally very gratifying to me,'' says Weeden. "I have a lot of contact with the people on my He'd rather be mailing route and maintain a running conversation with most of them." He enjoys the brief moments he spends in each department every day.

TORCH Staff Writer Last Fall Term Photo by Gary Breedlove • Jim had an empty beer in his hand each morning by the time he turned into the LCC parking lot. And after a full day of classes, cruising down that big hill, he'd finish another by the time he got to the Hilyard Street stoplight, and yet one more before he picked up his wife across town .. • Anya rewarded herself for getting up each morning by • Hal, an LCC staff member, arrived at work early. He prided himself on that, and on never missing a day due to drinking. But weekends were his, to do with as he wished, and more than anything else, he wanted to be drunk. And he was. All weekend. Every weekend. The names have been changed, but the stories are true. According to the American Council on Alcoholism, alcoholism is a national epidemic. It estimates one of every IO Americans is alcoholic, and many mix prescription and recreational drugs with their booze. ''No two patterns are the same," says Marje Wynia, the LCC counselor who, for the last IO years, has served as advisor to the student-run ''Books and Booze'' groups that meet periodically on campus to provide help and support for students dealing with their drug and alcohol-related problems. Wynia says that alcohol consumption is a "cultural schedule is routine. "I'm often greeted with 'Hi Jay' as I make my rounds, and occasionally I'm offered candy and cookies," he laughs. Although he's keeping an eye on his weight, he's especially tempted by the culinary delights in department offices during special occasions. Keeping up with Weeden requires physical fitness. April 9 was cool and foggy at 7:30 a.m. at the Springfield Mail Processing Facility where Weeden began his day by loading the college's white Dodge sedan with two mailbags of third and fourthclass mail, four trays of firstclass mail, and a trunkful of packages. "Often, there are more packages than I can safely fit in the car.'' In fact, this particular morning, he could take two of the three large carts full of loaded packages: Often an LCC custodian has to pick-up the remaining packages later in the day, or Weeden will retrieve them the next day. He carefully loaded 81 boxes of assorted shapes and sizes containing -- among other things, books for departments, posters, a record for KLCC, new checks for Financial Services, and the.Library's copy of the New York Times. Weeden <cont. on page 10> coping skill that this society has accepted as a norm. We equate it with relaxation." With over 8,000 full time students on campus, and as many more part time, the problem at LCC is a lot bigger than it appears. one in every 10 Americans is an alcoholic . .. "People tell me there's no drug or alcohol problem on LCC's campus," says Fr. Jim Dieringer, director of Campus Ministry, another LCC-based office that deals with substance-abuse problems. "In a sense, they're right. You don't see that many people 'falling-down drunk' or stoned out of their minds." But just because we don't see it doesn't mean the problem isn't there. "The problem is as real here as in the rest of society,'' Dieringer claims. "It's just not that visible.'' Dieringer attributes the low visibility to the nature of the campus -- people don't live here. While most of the substance abuse takes place off campus, many of the effects are obvious at school. For some The Torch May 23-~ 1985 Page 7 ~ She sells ads well for The TORCH by Richard Ho TORCH Staff Writer She admits that nine years ago, she thought newspapers were solely for "wrapping fish and starting fires." Today her opinion of newspapers has changed considerably. She feels that she has become educated to ''the truly important service that the newspaper provides to the community.'' Today Jan Brown is the Advertising Adviser to The Torch. Groan, you might think to yourself -- she's the one responsible for the seemingly enormous amounts of ads that invade the newspaper. But it's alright to think these thoughts. Brown understands. "Most readers and t:,eginning writers often feel that ads are horrible things that take away valuable space that stories could fill,'' Brown explains, "But sooner or later, they realize that ads are what pay for the space that writers write in." Brown's efforts bring in about $14,000 of The Torch's budget annually -- money which pays for salaried student positions on the paper, for supplies, equipment, and some of the printing costs as well. "Most journalists_ have come to grips with reality, and have a genuine respect for advertising -- whether they like it or not. "I don't think of advertising as a necessary evil, as students, studying may be difficult to impossible, family life disrupted, self-image low, and job hunting poorly done or forgotten. ''The people are here, they have problems," says Dieringer. ''Many are searching for help. They're not going down to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) because they're not down to the bottom yet. We show them they don't have to hit bottom to get help." He and his assistant, Marna Crawford, operate out of a tiny office opposite the Student Health Center on the first floor of the Center Building. They see three or four people a week who are either drunk or stoned, and eight to 10 who just drop in to talk about it. Crawford believes that many students see alcohol use as a "rite of passage" -- that being able to drink a great deal, without throwing up, is a way to prove themselves adults. Though she keeps no statistics, her impression is that 95 percent of the high school completion students on campus are alcohol users. But it can quickly get out of control. Alcohol is an inherent part of socializing for the students she talks with. most people do," Brown adds. "Rather, it is equally as informative as the stories." She observes that advertising reflects our culture, and "keeps businesses in touch with the present and is an instrument to predict the future." Of the 25 hours Brown spends each week at The Torch, she spends about 14 "out there" soliciting ads from clients or helping students who do the same. "Seventy percent of the advertising in the paper comes from advertisers in the Eugene/Springfield ~ommunity.'' It's this variety that she likes most about her job. And she feels there is a greater variety of activities to keep her from getting bored at The Torch than there would be out in the community. "For one, half the student population changes annually and also The Torch staff changes annually. And businesses change, too." "I remember once a business called to ask me about advertising in the paper. So I made an appointment to see them a week later. When I went to the address given -- the business was no longer there.'' When asked what she liked least about her job, she paused thoughtfully for a considerable length of time. She frowned and said, ''the bureaucracy.'' Then resuming her usual self said, Let's talk about something else.'' Unfortunately, many Many students don't need that much help, once they recognize substance abuse as a problem, says Dieringer. But many do. Crawford and Dieringer help these students make connections with appropriate offcampus groups -- but they both lament the lack of indepth, on-campus help. Dieringer says he knows there are people who need help, but don't come in to the Campus Ministry office ''because they think we're a 'churchy' kind of thing. Help- '... 95% of high school students are alcohol users . ing people get what they need comes first," he says, and religion only comes into it if it seems appropriate. "We've helped Buddhists, Moslems, witches, secular humanists, agnostics, and atheists. They're all people.'' Jim, Anya, and Hal all needed more extensive help than what was available on campus in order to begin recovering from their addic• tions. • A couple days after Jim's wife le.ft him at Christmas, he businesses do not realize that advertising does not work on the ''print one ad and expect a boom in business'' philosophy. Brown feels that advertising revolves around continual repetition. It is this repeated reminder of which people become aware when the need arises. Then people will recall the name of the advertiser. Brown recalls a client who placed an ad in the paper and the day after the paper was cir- culated, called her to cancel' the ad because only four people had come to the store. "What we can do for them and what they can do for us" is Brown's criteria for approaching new clients. It is important for her that clients prosper as well as the paper. She feels that "attitude" is the key word to advertising. ''You have to meet the public with a positive and cheerful attitude," she emphasizes. "It's important to be sensitive to the client's product, the clients themselves and their businesses.'' When she's free, she enjoys working in her "large garden at home,'' which she feels keeps her ''in constant contact with the process of life ... in peace and joy, which we should experience in life but often don't get a chance to." Today, Jan Brown is still using newspapers to ''wrap fish and start fires with'' but her outlook has changed. ~)~ - ~~ Photo by Gary Breedlove Jan Brown doesn't think advertising is a necessary evil but rather a way to serve two needs -- theirs and ours. consumed a case of beer, mixed with a full bottle of prescription medication, and ended up in a coma for 72 hours. His doctor refused to release him except to a live~in substance abuse treatment program, so he entered Serenity Lane. Jim spent Winter Term working on his recovery, and now attends four AA meetings a week. Back at LCC this term, he says, ''I'm understanding and retaining so much more I can't believe it. Every day I'm clean and sober it gets better. Be/ore, I was just a shell." Jim would like to help organize another "Books and Booze,, group for Fall term so he can help others regain control. (The last incarnation of this group dwindled away in March.) The desire to help others is a common impulse among recovering addicts. • Anya had dropped out of college twice before moving across country -- in the hope of getting a new start -- and finally enrolling at LCC. What • she hadn't le/t behind was her compulsion to "get high,, to escape. "If it was there, I did it, ,, she says. "Coke, acid, dope, mushrooms, alcohol. There didn't have to be a reason. ,, During Winter Term, "it just all fell apart, ,, she recounts. No stimulant was enough for her, "and everything was overwhelming" -- the bills weren't paid, the house was always a mess. She began skipping classes, and not showing up for work. Friendships deteriorated. Even taking care of her dog was just too demanding. • "I was visiting people I didn't like just to get their beer, ,, she recalls. Anya knew she couldn't stop herself. She'd already tried many times. Then last February she walked into the White Bird Clinic -- near 12th and High Street in Eugene -and has been a regular participant in its outpatient Narcotics Anonymous (NA) program. ' .. but now they have so much more control over their lives . This Spring Term is her first without drugs. Her grades and her outlook have taken a definite turn for the better. "The biggest thing I like about the program, ,, she says, "is knowing that I'm not .alone. ,, In addition to ongoing support from the group, each person gets a sponsor -- a recovered addict further along the path to recovery -- whom he/she can call any time. • As for Hal, the LCC staff member, he didn't have to nearly die or lose his job in order to seek help. His bottom line? When he fooled himself into staying home sick one Monday and found he was drunk by JO a.m. He checked himself into Serenity Lane for a month-long stay that day, and hasn't had a drink since. Hal is enthusiastic about the • education he received while in Serenity Lane. Both he and Wynia believe substance abuse education should be more widespread. LCC should provide more substantial help because many students having problems with school -- and with life in general -- are escaping too often into alcohol or drugs. Alcohol and drugs prevent them from working problems through to satisfactory solutions. As for Anya, Jim, and Hal, they aren't naive enough to believe their problems are over, but they now have so much more control over their lives. "Some days are harder than others," says Anya. Jim agrees, but adds, they're never •as hard as they used to be.

Titans ...... 7, 3 Cougars .... 6, 4 The Titans came from behind to win game one, after spotting Clackamas a 5-0 lead heading into the bottom of the third inning. Then LCC's offense finally got in gear, scoring three runs, to cut the Cougars' lead to 5-3. The Titans rallied for another run in the fourth when Ted Davis singled, and Dan Vidos drove him in with a follow-up single, cutting the Cougars' lead to 5-4. LCC kept up its momentum in the fifth by adding three more runs -- keyed by a Scott Michaelsen two-run single that scored Aaron Helfrich from third and Chris Clemens from first -- as the Titans seized a 7-5 lead, capping a stretch of seven unanswered runs. Clackamas rallied in the seventh and final inning, but could only score one run as LCC held on for the win, and clinched a berth in the regional playoffs in Washington. LCC's offense was led by Michaelsen, who collected two hits and three RBI' s in game one -- including the game winner. Davis put in an all-around performance, including coming in as a relief for starting pitcher Gary Fonnesbeck in the third, and shut down the Cougars for the rest of the game. The win upped Davis' pitching record to 2-0 -besides adding two more hits to his total. "We won because we had better pitching than they did,'' said LCC Head Coach Bob Foster. "Davis came in and pitched real well in relief after Fonnesbeck's shaky start. We came back real well after being down 5-0, getting clutch hits and playing pretty good defense.'' In game two, the Titans got on the scoreboard first with a run in the first inning as Bill Trott led off with a double and later scored on a long sacrifice fly by Dave Matthews. Clackamas came back in the third, scoring two runs to take the lead. LCC capitalized on wild Cougar pitching and a balk call to score Brad Hale from third base, tying the game in the fourth. In the fifth, LCC regained the lead, 3-2, when Aaron Helfrich's single scored C.A. Rath. But that proved to be the last of the Titans offense for the rest of the game. Clackamas immediately responded in the fifth with two runs and a leaq they would never give up -- winning 4-3. Todd Thomas collected the loss, pitching three innings of relief for Vidos. A lot of non-regulars saw action in game two, and contributed · when Trott went two-for-four and Rath stayed perfect going one-for-one, and Matthews two-for-two. Titans ...... 3, 3 Timbers ..... 9, 1 Earlier in the week, LCC traveled to Roseburg to face the Umpqua Timbermen, and came away with a doubleheader split. In game one, the Titans started strong, scoring three runs, but they proved to be the only scoring LCC would muster. Umpqua exploded in its first at bat, scoring seven runs, cruising to an easy 9-3 victory. ''We started out good, came out quick, got some hits and made them make some Photo by Gary Breedlove LCC's Bill Trott grounds a single in game two of Friday's double-header against the Clackamas Cougars.

Foster brought relief pitcher Todd Thomas in for the third inning, and Thomas pitched impressive -- giving up two runs, but only four hits in four innings. In game two, Gary Fonnesbeck pitched a complete game, shedding only one earned run and six hits, while striking out five, leading LCC to victory, 3-1. The Timbermen finally broke up Fonnesbeck' s shutout in the sixth, scoring their only run of the game. Ashlane Apartments Adult Student Housing Inc. Getan advantage.

"I'd love to say hello to everybody in Oregon -- it's like home to me here. I'll probably be back (to U of 0) to finish up in September, so I '11 see everybody then.'' Brown, the former University of o ·regon football standout, was in Portland Sunday, May 19. But, this time he was clad in villain black, stole 63 yards and rushed for a 13-yard touchdown, leading his Arizona Outlaws to a 30-21 drubbing over the posse-less Breakers. Yes, for 3-10 (w-1) Portland, there's trouble in Dodge City, but the Outlaws (who played under the name Arizona Wranglers last year, but merged with the Oklahoma · Outlaws during' the offseason), now 5-8, are making a last-ditch run at the playoffs -where they'll try to go one step better than their USFL runnerup finish in 1984. And, like the U of 0 alumni-stocked National Football League's San Francisco 49ers, a former Quacker Backer might lead this band of hombres in the playoffs. Brown has emerged as a potent weapon in this year's Outlaws arsenal, but his future •as a famous defense-buster wasn't as clear during preseason. "In the early part of the season he (Brown) hung in there as a back-up fullback, and when our fullback got hurt he capitalized on the opportunity and has done extremely well," said Outlaws mastermind Coach Frank Kush -- who, by the way, is a notable old ornery coot, from his college coaching days at Arizona State University. ''He (Brown) is one of the finer instinctive runners I've coached, and he practices the way he plays," added Kush. The confident Brown just played a waiting game. He knew he'd be in the line-up soon. "No, I'm not surprised at what I've done. I always knew I could do it, and finally . got the opportunity . . . I enjoy it (playing pro football), that's the way it's supposed to be. Brown sees the pro game being more mental than physical, as opposed to his college days. "It's more a mental aspect now. It's more like a job, a career. It's a business now, you're getting paid and the teams are trying to make money, but it's still athletics --~ that's what matters." ~ And how does Brown feel 6 about playing for his college rival coach, Frank Kush?

"I really want to come back, I'll get a chance to see everyone in September. I have a lot of great memories from here in Oregon," said Brown. But, perhaps Brown's greatest memory came Sunday, when he scored his first touchdown in Oregon as a professional. "I was happy (to get the touchdown).

An injury-plagued Marion Zerull managed to place second in the 1OOm hurdles, and went 16' 10" (well below her personal best of 17' 3") to place sixth in the long jump. Diane Nicholas proved to be a key performer for LCC with third place finishes in both the 5,000 and 10,000 meters. "We got some unexpected points from the distance squad," said Wilken.

Beginning the morning route, his car slowly cruises along walkways, passing students as it goes. "It's like being at the crossroads of the world, here.

Perry suggested that the board "go with the recommendation." And the board concurred, with board member Bob Bowser speaking in favor of work already done by the administration. pie, from all walks of -life -even some I went to high school with many years ago." In his leisure time Weeden is a rockbound and avid fisherman, and as a photographer for over IO years, he finds the medium an excellent way to communicate with people. A work-study student usually assists Weeden deliver mail to 72 offices on the main campus. "Our student assistants make a big difference. They are very conscientious and take their jobs seriously.'' It's important, but routine work. The most unusual occurence in Weeden's four years as mail courier was the time he and a female workstudy student were "mooned" by a young man near the Apprenticeship Building. ''The best part was the guy thought he was only mooning us. But a number of other people saw it, too. He was very ashamed when I stopped him and admonished him." And it's amusing when he assists with sorting and bundling mail to see letters addressed to "Mr." or "Mrs." or "Jane" Community College. Last Friday, his heavier breathing and slightly slower pace were the only indications of the pain of a pinched nerve in his lower back. Still, he smiled his way along his 16-mile walk and 54-mile drive. "If you didn't stay cheerful it'd really be bad. It also helps to be a bit crazy,'' he confesses. The hardest part of the job is meeting the numerous daily deadlines. "Frequently, I have to stop and explain how to do a bulk mailing < • how to send something by l;ertified mail, but in general, I can't do a lot of gabbing." Still, Campus Ministry's Director Jim Dieringer notes "Jay doesn't mind waiting a few minutes for a letter so it can go out in the day's mail." And CM's assistant director, Marna Crawford, says "He doesn't backbite or gossip and is always friendly and talkative.'' Overton sums it up best -"It's really nice to see the mailman coming.''
