·Eldon Schafer dies

by Ann Van Camp
Associate Editor

Former LCC President Eldon Schafer's died Aug. 6, in
Sacred Heart Hospital, due to complications resulting from
cancer treatments. A memorial service was held Aug. 7 in
the LCC Performing Arts Theatre.
Schafer developed acute leukemia while being treated for
multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer) in 1979. Over the
years, through recurring bouts of the illness, he gained a
reputation for fighting hard and maintaining a positive attitude.
This past April, at 63, Schafer retired from his 15-year
position as LCC's president. Under his leadership, the college gained national and international recognition. Last spring, LCC was ranked third among the nation's community
colleges. And a year ago Schafer was sent by the World
Bank as part of a three-person international panel to help
China develop polytechnic and TV universities.
Schafer's abilities and accomplishments were recognized
through many professional awards over the years. Perhaps
the most prestigious was the 1981 Marie Y. Martin Professional Educator Award, the highest honor achieveable by a
community college administrator.

Richard M. Turner
takes the helm

September 16, 1985

Dr. Richard M. Turner Ill,
LCC's first new president in
15 years, appears amazingly
bouyant and re1axed for a man
who says the only time he has
to call his own falls between
the hours of midnight and 5 or
6 a.m.
Yet even in the most serious
conversation, you can see the
smile wrinkles framing his
brown eyes -- clues to his ready
laughter. He's busy, but rarely
too busy for a chuckle.
Since he became LCC's fifth
president, July 15, Turner's
schedule has been a constant
whirl of meetings, both formal
and informal. He's made it a
point to have conversations
with most of the employees in
his building, and meetings
with department heads, in addition io the regular meetings
with his vice presidents. He's
also explored LCC's extensive
physical plant, the main campus as well as all the outreach
centers.
Dr. Turner spent the last six
years as president of South
Central Community College,
in New Haven, Conn. At the
beginning of his presidency,
the school was 11 years old
and still not accredited. After
two years under his leadership
the school achieved full accreditation. In that situation

'What key are you in?'
by Karen lrmsher

TORCH Editor

Dr. & Mrs. Turner graciously allowed
TORCH Editor-in-chief Karen Irmsher, and
Photo Editor David Stein to invade the
privacy of their home for a photo session
early last week. The announced goal was to
get "one good picture" for a cover photo.
The living room was out of the question -an airy, light room with a fireplace, but no
furniture. They'd decided to leave their old
stuff behind, and wait until they had time to
shop for new.
Irmsher kept pushing for a piano shot, but
there seemed to be some resistance to that
idea. The piano bench was stacked with
unsorted leftovers from the move. It looked .
like the same pile that was there a week ago
when she interviewed Mrs. Turner.
So Stein, to break the impasse, suggested
we start out with some shots on the couch in
the adjoining family room. After setting up
his extensive lighting system, complete with
two white umbrellas, he captured them 18
times on the couch, 6 times at the window,
and 10 times in the garden. Having exhausted
these possibilities, they finally agreed to dust
off the piano.
The pictures we've printed (four out of 23),
show them collaboraHng in a new age
rendition of chopsticks. The shots with Dr.
Turner in the foreground show him changing
keys as soon as Mrs. Turner figures out
• which one he is in, and grinning silently in
response to her requests for the identity of the
new key."
He finally moved into high pitched
dissonance, commenting, "That's one way to
get rid of photographers."

he found it necessary to make
a lot of changes quickly.
LCC is different in several
ways. For one, it's much
larger. South Central CC was
one of seven colleges in a large
city, with a head count of 2200
students, and a full time
equivalency (FTE) of 1100.
LCC is one of two colleges in a
small city, and serves 32,000
students per year, with a FTE
of 8000.
The other major difference
is that LCC is well established.
In it's 20-year history LCC has
received numerous honors and
awards for its excellence, 1 the
most recent and prestigious
being selection as one of the
top five community colleges in
the United States by the Community College Leadership
Program at the University of
Texas-Austin.
"It's a matter of building on
a strong foundation, so you
want to be careful about how
you go about change,'' says
Turner. "It's kind of like
dominoes -- one thing affects
another -- so you try to see
where the connections are
before you make solutions to a
problem that may not really
exist.
"You don't want to be prejudiced by past situations.
What didn't work there may
work here. The key thing is
whether something works."
In addition to getting acquainted with LCC, Dr.
Turner has been busy forging
links with his new community.
He's already become a board
member of the Eugene
Chamber of Commerce, the
Eugene-Springfield
Metropolitan Partnership, and
the South Willamette Private
Industry Council, among
others.
LCC's commitments to provide training and business support were influentual in the
decision of Van Duyn
chocolates to locate a large
plant in Eugene, Turner is proud to say. He believes that
cooperation between Lane
County government, private
industry and LCC can be an
important factor in increasing
both the effectiveness and the
economic well-being of all
three groups.
He's not _home much, according to his wife of 28 years,
Dolores Turner. "I see him at
breakfast and dinner,'' she
says with a laugh. And
sometimes on the week-ends.
Mrs. Turner has quickly
landed a job as counselor at
Ridgeview Elementary School
in Springfield. She left behind
her high school counseling job
of six years to mpve to the
Northwest. Prior to that job,
she was a music teacher at the
high school, junior high and
college levels.
This isn't the first time she's
been uprooted by her hus-

FREE FOR ALL
It is a pleasure to welcome you to LCC as the
College begins its twentieth year of classes. If
enrollment meets predictions, you will be among
some 30,000 full and part-time students in credit
and non-credit classes. Please do not let that
number intimidate you, however; if you are new
this term, you will find faculty and staff as well
as many of your fell ow students who are more
than willing to help you find your way and adjust
comfortably to college. We do care about you.

Dr. Turner
extends welcome
to LCC students

I, too, am new to LCC, having become the institutions's fourth president as of July 15. May
the reception and caring you find here be as
gratifying as the warm welcome Mrs. Turner
(Dolores) and I have been afforded these past IO
weeks.
Since arriving in Eugene, I have been asked
repeatedly to suggest what changes I have in
mind for the College. My answer continues to be

that I have nothing specific to share at this time.
LCC already is an outstanding college, as its
several high rankings nationally attest. This does
not mean that there is not room for improvement. My role for the present is to get acquainted
with you and others and to listen.
I am encouraging those I meet to share their
ideas on how we can, together, make LCC an
even better postsecondary institution. I do
welcome and encourage input. I may not always
be able to act on the ideas presented or even to
agree with all of them, but I will listen and consider them carefully.
LCC has achieved a lofty status in its short
lifetime. The reputation of the college in the
future will depend in large measure upon your
success on fulfilling your educational goals here.
To your success we are deeply committed.
Welcome to this phase of your adventure. We
hope it is exciting and beneficial.

Irmsher Pie
by Karen Irmsher
TORCH Editor

One of the privileges of
editorship is the license it
gives me to make occasional
arbitrary decisions, like
publishing my own column,
for instance. What other
editor is likely to print it?
Why pie? Firstly, I owe a
lot to pie.
I was a freckled, skinny,
Norman Rockwell child in
my pre-pie days. My grandma used to bribe me at the
rate of $1 per month to
down a daily tablespoon of
a thick, foul-tasting fluid
called Stuart's Formula. It
was supposed to help me
gain weight.
But relief came in the
seventh grade, when I could
choose what went on my
school lunch tray. Pie went
on mine every day.
I'm still freckled, but I've
been plagued by neither
skinniness nor Stuart's Formula since the seventh
grade, thanks to pie.
Not long after that, a pie
shop settled into a little
storefront in a back alley of
downtown
Downey,
California. For the first
time I had a sufficiently
compelling reason 1) to
earn money and 2) to ride
my bike to town. Pie lured
me to the world of commerce and provided my first

reasonable incentive for exercise.
A passion such as this has
the potential for self
destruction. Eating pie to
excess causes pain, as well
as taking the fun out of mirrors. Pie has taught me selfcontrol. Some. Still, a couple times a year, I like to
buy a whole pie and start in
the middle, sometimes
without tools.
We were poor when my
children were small and
couldn't afford many
treats. But every couple
weeks, when I'd get some
money, and before I'd
given any thought to which
bills to pay, we'd go to the
pie shop.
One of my fondest
memories is of Kelli, aged I
I /2, bellied up to the pie
bar on a booster seat, eating
fresh strawberry pie with a
fork in one hand for the
strawberries, and a spoon in
the other for the whipped
cream. Pie was the first
word my children learned to
spell.
So you can see, pie has
been good to me and the
least I can do is give it a little free ad space while I've
got the chance.
Secondly, you can put
anything you want between
the crusts and it's still pie.
(Watch this space for more
Irmsher Pies.)

On behalf of the Associated
Students of Lane Community
College -- the ASLCC -- I extend a hearty welcome to you
and hope the school year proves to be a successful one for
us all.
On behalf of the student
body, I extend a special
welcome to LCC's new President, Dr. Turner, and to his
wife, Dolores. The ASLCC is
looking forward to working
with Dr. Turner throughout
the school year. I sincerely
believe Dr. Turner is striving
for positive changes designed
for us students, as well as for
the college.
Because effective communication is such a high
priortiy on the ASLCC's list
of goals and objectives this
year, student government is
going through some changes
of its own.
In trying to obtain the much
needed communication between ASLCC and you, our
Student Resource Center
(located on the second floor of
the Center Building, in front
of the library) is going through
some positive changes as well.
• The SRC, directed by Martin Lewis, continues to maintain bulletin boards for information on hou•sin_g, roommates, childcare, and ridesharing, besides offering general
information and even someone to help answer your
questions.
• It offers a textbook exchange.
• It offers a microwave oven
in the SRC for everyone to
use.
• Again, we are providing
free coffee and herbal tea on
Wednesdays at the SRC, when
ASLCC representatives, anxious to meet and talk with you,

will be on hand. Bring your
ideas, have a cup of coffee,
and let us know what's on
your mind.
• We're still providing three
free phones (one in front of
the LCC Bookstore staircase,
one in the SRC, and one on
the fourth floor of the Center
Building).
• ASLCC information, and
the agenda and whereabouts
of our weekly senate meetings,
are posted in the SRC, as well
as in the plastic holders in the
cafeteria. Come to a senate
meeting and find out what
your student government is
doing.
• There's also a suggestion
box in the SRC. Express your
opinions. Help us out. We truly need your input to provide a
well-balanced service.
As you can see, the SRC is
well on its way to becoming a
true resource center and a
channel of direct communication to your student government. The ASLCC needs you!

ty College a great place for
students. Join us in our efforts
as students for students.

• A number of committees,
ranging from an Evening Student Advisory to Legal Services, need student represeI?,tatives.
• There are al~o senate posi- ••

The Student Advisory Committee (SAC) needs members
for this year. The SAC is composed of ASLCC senators and
student representatives from
every club and department on
campus.
A ballot measure in last spring's student government elections mandated this committee
in order to ensure full
representation of all college
departments and student
clubs.

Peopl_e interested in
representing their department
or club should contact CindyWeeldreyer, Communications
Director, or Deanna Bowden,
ASLCC Vice President, by
calling x2330 or dropping by

Center during registration and
the first week of classes.
The first general meeting is
planned for the second week
of classes.

Knowledge will be putto the test
Full-time,
incoming
students at LCC's main campus will soon be required to
take tests in reading, writing,
and mathematics prior to
registration.
According to Daniel
Hodges, coordinator of
testing, LCC is one of the last
colleges in Oregon to require
this sort of testing, which will .
become effective at LCC
beginning winter term, '85.

"In the past," said
Hodges, "opposition to the
tests has come from some staff
and administration who feared
the mandatory testing would
discourage students and lower
enrollment at LCC."
But, ''the tests are intended
to help students, not
discourage them, and will be
administered in a reasonable
manner" said Hodges, adding
that the testing center will take

into account students' SAT
scores or prior successful college work. He emphasized that
these tests in no way determine
a student's acceptance by
LCC, and except for some
math classes and writing 121,
will not hinder students from
taking any class they choose."
According to Hodges, the
goal of the tests is that they
would serve ''as a kind of early warning system." The tests,

he hopes, will help students
discover their strengths and
weaknesses before registration, enabling them to then
plan
realistic academic
schedules
Hodges predicts mo~students will wish to take all
three tests in .one sitting.
Altogether, the ·tests should
take no more than two hours,
and will be routine in,forma-

tions students may have, and
to offer advice or guidance.
Students will be notified
when and where testing will be
administered through information normally distributed to

Modesitte says the three
most likely carriers of the virus
are semen, sera, and saliva.
And he says the AIDS virus
would have to be present in a
sufficient quantity, then remain moist on the toilet seat,
and finally enter the next user
of the toilet seat through an
open abrassion or mucous
membrane.
But, people are more likely
to contract hepatitis than
AIDS from using those toilet
seats!
Nearly 400 cases of hepatitis
have been diagnosed in Lane
County so far this year.
"We've already more than
tripled last years' cases (of .
hepatitis)," says Modesitte.
And he says the number of incidences rises sharply in the
Spring and Fall.
The most common carrier
for hepatitis is fecal-oral. That
means the virus is present in
the feces of one victim and
enters through the next victim's mouth. (You got that
right -- it's GROSS!)
So personally, Blue, I'd be
real worried about that person
who leaves the stall and rushes
right out of the restroom
without stopping at the sink to
wash both hands. You might
get introduced later on ... and
have to shake those hands!
Eyuk!
(By the way, Blue .. .if you
don't go all day, you might be
safe from AIDS and hepatitis,
but you may get a bladder infection.)

1984- 85 top story: LCCnati onally recognized
by Ann Van Camp
TORCH Staff Writer

Accreditation

LCC was reaccredited by
the Northwest Association of
Schools and Colleges (NASC)
in October. The accreditation
was for a ten year period.
The accreditation of a college allows students to transfer

2

courses to other accredited institutions and it adds clout to
two-year degrees.
Although the college received a favorable report the Electronics Department was an ex- .
ception. ''This department
needs an infusion of new ideas
and attitudes," read the
criticism from NASC.

Shortly after the NASC
visit, Electronics Department
Chairman Darwin Mccarroll
resigned and counselor and
CWE coordinator John Winquist was named acting chair.
LCC named fifth nationally

And recently, LCC was
named one of the countries
five outstanding community

colleges in a study coordinated
by Dr. Hohn Roueche, a professor at the University of
Texas-Austin.
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 towards
instruction; and
• selects, evaluates, and
rewards exceptional teaching
in keeping with the comprehensive mission of the community college.

Gift and guest speaker highlight birthday celebration

by Ellen Platt

1984-85 TORCH Associate Editor

LCC celebrated its 20th birthday last year, and although the official birth-·
day party was March 1, gifts and awards began arriving as early as last
•
•
September.
On Sept. 20, 1985, LCC Art Instructor Tenold Peterson and seven art
students presented Lane with a 20 by 25 foot stained glass mural called
"Islands of Memory." The mural -- which took 18 months and 10,000 hours
of donated labor to complete -- now graces the east entrance of the Center
•
Building.
The group donated the window to the college partly because of its affiliation
with LCC, and partly because the building was large enough to accomodate
the mural. Donations of $4,500 from the public, private groups, the LCC

Development Fund, and the ASLCC government paid for the materials.
At the college's birthday celebration, keynote speaker Dale Parnell -- LCC's
first president from 1965-68 -- looked at LCC's beginnings, and reflected on
what he would have done differently. His reflections included:
• Stressing graduation requirements for LCC grads, so high school students
would expect to perform quality work at the community college level and in
preparation for college and careers.
• Establishment of a connection with local high schools emphasizing the
development of math and science-based technologies to promote information
usage in the emerging high tech society, and the development of a Tech-Prep
Associate Degree.
• A closer partnership between business and LCC, so the college could get
mini-grants to allow the college to develop programs with businesses, unions,
and high schools.·

3 Schafe r ends

15 year tenure
by Jackie Barry

TORCH Editor '84-'85

After 15 years as LCC's fourth president, Dr. Eldon Schafer
retired at the end of April. His successor is Dr. Richard Turner,
formerly president of South Central Community College in New
Haven, Connecticut. Turner is the first black president of a
public college .in the state of Oregon.
Schafer helped establish a national reputation for Lane during
his tenure. The prestigious League for Innovation invited LCC
to join its ranks, providing what Schafer described as "a national window from the Northwest," and providing outsiders
with the opportunity to learn that LCC does ''some fascinating
things.''
Schafer also had the idea for the Business Assistance Center
which developed into an LCC administered state Business
Development Network and meant the difference between red
and black ink for many local business owners.
In October of 1982 and again in 1984 the World Bank invited
Schafer to visit the People's Republic of China on "appraisal
missions" to help that country determine what equipment and
facilities it needed to begin a national network of polytechnic
colleges.
Schafer also started the campus Productivity Center and College Cabinet Meetings which bolster productivity and communication between groups on campus.
Eldon Schafer will be a hard act to follow.

In June of 1984, LCC
received a bill from the US
Department of Education
(USDE) for $427,234 -- an
amount which it calculated it
had overpaid LCC for the
and
Share"
"Fair
''Conditional Guarantee''
monies which LCC Financial
Aid dispersed to eligible
students during 1979, 1980,
and 1981.
By last spring, the Torch
reported that the original debt
had climbed to $447,234 and
will continue to grow at the
rate of 9 percent per month on
the accumulating balance until
some resolution is reached.
As of this week, the bad
news is -- the amount LCC
owes the USDE has now
reached over $450,000. The
good news -- there is now a
resolution in sight.
According to Director of
Linda WadFinancial Aid
dell, in July senators from
Oregon, Washington, and
Idaho met with Secretary of
Education William Bennett to
express concern about the unwillingness of the USDE to
seek reasonable solutions to
this problem. As a result of
this meeting, Bennett agreed,

in wntmg, to seek an expedient resolution to the problem, and has since assigned a
government task force to
review "creative solutions".
The controversy centers
around student financial aid
files that are no longer in existence. These are files of
students who applied for
financial aid between 1977-80
but who, because of a lack of
funds, did not receive any aid.
Although these students

tav-w7
..,;,

received no aid, LCC counted
them on the application for
funds from th~ USDE to show
the need for additional funding in the future.
At that time, said Waddell,
regulations required the college save only the files of those
students who did receive aid.
But the USDE has now chang-

ed that policy and maintains
that if LCC cannot produce
the terminated files, then they
will be treated as though they
never existed. On Oct. 14,
Waddell and Vice President
for Student Services Jack
Carter will travel to
Washington D. C. to meet
with the task force, on Oct.
16-17, and p'resent what LCC
considers to be a reasonable
alternative: using student
financial aid files that do still
exist from 1977-80 and subsequent years, show by comparison and statistical inference that LCC's original request for funding was
reasonable.
According to Waddell, the
major obstacles blocking a
solution to the controversy is
the USDE's refusal to admit
publicly that the files did exist,
and acknowledge that part of
the fault for the confusion
rests with the USDE, due to a
lack of instruction given to the
college about the program.
Once the USDE acknowledges
this fact, a solution should
follow. The Department of
Education will give LCC its
decision in October, and it is
Waddell's hope that the problem will then, finally, by
resolved.

5 Board vote favors increase in tuition and fees
Students began paying more money to attend LCC starting Summer Term 1985 as a result of the college,s 1984-85
decision to raise tuition and student body fees, and to add
a new graduation fee. The increases are expected to
generate $240,000 per year.
Tuition Increases

• Last April the LCC Board of Education voted to raise
tuition to $19 per credit hour from the previous $18.
• Full-time Oregon residents began paying · $209 per
term, instead of $198.
• Tuition will remain the same for out-of-state residents
-- $75 per credit hour, or $825 for full-time status.
• Community Education and High School completion
course fees will be $30 for 30-clock hour courses, as opposed to $27 for the same course. But vice President of Student Services Jack Carter stated there will be some ad
justments made to Community Education course tuition
(such as Court Reporting) so that full-time students
wouldn,t pay more than the $209 full-time rate.

Students approved a ballot measure in May to increase
the student body fee from $3 to $5 per term for credit,
main-campus students.
The added funds will finance ASLCC services which
formerly were paid for with monies from the school
General Fund and student body fees. Totals had dropped
due to lower enrollments in past years: The ASLCC had
received $9,509 from the General Fund until 1984-85, then
the amount was gradually cut to zero funding.
The ASLCC expects to administer a budget of just under
$90,000 in the 1985-86 school year.
Graduation Fee

makes LCC occesso ble from east

1984-85 TORCH Editor

"It appears that correction
of the long-standing problem
of the east access to the colleg~
is finally within our grasp,,,
wrote Lane County Director
of Public Works JQhn Goodson to retired President Eldon
Schafer in the late spring of
1985.
The McVay Highway-30th
Avenue access problems were
finally resolved when Lane
County officials offered to
fund construction of a new
road on the east border of
LCC's property. The contracted completion date is
mid October.
The new road will replace
access by Alvey Substation
Road which will be blocked
off when the construction is

complete . .
McVay Highway and 30th
Avenue intersected before
LCC was built and the college
campus had to be incorporated into the access configuration. The result was
Eastway Drive, branching off
the Alvey Substation Road to
provide access to the college,s
east and south parking lots.
But the result was congestion. The proximity of the
Alvey Substation Road entrance to the 1-5 on-ramp and
the McVay Highway-30th
A venue intersection created
hazards, especially during
heavy college traffic periods.
For years, from 7 a.m. to 9
a.m. it has been illegal to turn
right onto 30th Avenue from
the stop sign at the end of
McVay Highway. According

After suffering through
numerous transmitter failures,
and more than a year of planning and fundraising to correct
the problems, KLCC-FM staffers purchased and installed a
new transmitter during Fall
Term 1984. The station now
broadcasts an 86,000 watt
signal, up from the previous
30,000.

Last year, the Graduation Committee voted to charge a
$10 graduation fee when students apply for graduation in
the 1985-86 school year. This is the first time a graduation
fee will be charged at LCC.
The fee will cover programs, diplomas and covers, rental
of caps and gowns, as well as costs for special personnel,
music and decorations.

will be "a road with a full
asphalt concrete overlay as opposed to a double shot oil surface." This is a higher cost
road surface and should not
require maintenance for 15 or

20 years.
Goodson also stated this
was not an easy decision for
the Board of County Commissioners to make because LCC
is considered a single-user and
the county ordinarily doesn ,t
fund single-user projects.

TORCH Staff Writer

In the March, 1985 election, ASLCC Vice President Meredeth Myers came
surprisingly close to upsetting Charlene Curry, who
had served on the board for
nine years.
Despite the fact that
Myers had publically announced her withdrawal
from the race, her decision
came too late for official

deletion from the ballot,
and she earned 10,293 votes
to Curry's winning tally of
12,543.
Myers refused to stat~
specific reasons for running
against. Curry because she
hopes to work with Curry in
the future. However, Myers
has plans to run again for a
board position. '' I really
wanted that position, but
the timing wasn't right,"
she said.

Center Building basement.
Employee concern over
health and safety issues in
their work environment led to
the formation of the BPC -com posed of LCC staff
members who work in the
basement -- which presented
these concerns to the LCC
Facilities Committee in October of '84.
The June meeting focused
on four areas still of concern
to the BPC: The installation of
ventilation hoods over the
printing equipment in the
Printing and Graphics area;
scheduling another air quality
test by the Accident Prevention Division of the Oregon
Worker,s Compensation Division (OWCP); hiring an outside research expert to study
employee health complaints
and determine if there is any
connection between symptoms
-- such as headaches and
nausea -- and chemicals in the
work environment; and the installation of battery powered

emergency lighting in the basement.
Colvin reported that a new
air test would be conducted
when Printing and Graphics
was in full operation during
the summer. He added that
although some of the concerns
about the p_erformance of the
first tests on Nov. 26 were
invalid, the college "will have
them (the OWCD representatives) back again if there are
still concerns.''
Trisha Mcdonald, an
operator in Word Processing
and a member of the BPC,
says they requested that a
qualified researcher study the
work environment and
employee health complaints.
She adds "I think that'll make
people feel better, and ease
their minds.
Another item discussed was
the installation of lighting that
would function in the event of
a blackout. McDonald says
enclosed, windowless areas of
the basement are completely

dark, and others are "real
dark" when the lights are out.
In the fall of '84 the BPC
submitted a list of changes
they wanted to see in the basement environment to the
Facilities Committee. The
issues focused on air and water
quality, safety concerns, and
space allocation. The following problems have been solved
or were in process at the end of
the spring term:
• Concern over the use and
affect of chemicals -- particularly solvent used to clean
the presses -- led to our testing
in November of '84. Although
the tests performed by the Ac~
cident Prevention Division of
the OWCD revealed acceptable levels of chemicals in the
air, plans were made to design
and install two ventilation
hoods in the Printing and
. Graphics area during the summer. Representatives of the

Tornblom spikers' new coach
by Darren Foss

TORCH Sports Editor

Lane's volleyball team is
entering a new era with the
selection of Steve Tornblom as
its coach.
Tornblom replaces Cheryl
Brown who resigned after last
season to become a physical
fitness consultant in San
Diego, Cal.
An experienced volleyball
coach, Tornblom has coached
all over the United States as
well as in West Germany.
"I went from Iowa to Minnesota to Colorado, then to
Germany, tu Nebraska,
Wyoming and now Orego11,''
commented Coach Tornblom.
His top achievements include starting the entire
women's sports program at
Southeast Nebraska Community College, where he
coached the volleyball team
for five years. Most recently
he started the volleyball pro-

gram at Kaycee High School in
Buffalo, Wyo. where he
coached for two years. Under
Tornblom's guidance the team
made it to the state playoffs in
its second year of play, where
it tied for seventh place.
Tornblom now assumes the
part-time position as LCC

volleyball coach, while he continues working towards his
doctorate in physical education at the University of
Oregon. He earned a
bachelor's degree in health
and physical education at St.
Olaf College in Northfield,
Minn., ·a nd a masters from the
University of Colorado.
He says athletic endeavors
should be-- first -- educational
for the students involved, and
-- second-- rewarding to the
students in terms of their
fulfillment of personal goals
and enjoyment. Thirdly, there
should be an effort toward excellence.
'' I understand the team was
quite good last year, meaning
it can have an advanced offense this year. . . . Any team
I've had has been known for
hustling and, along with me,
had a never-give-in attitude
and was always positive."

he's ever had, because he feels
it has a lot of depth.

HS) a back row specialist. The
Titans have two other players
who transferred to Lane. They
are: Sue Schreiber (5'8" from
Marist HS), a middle blocker,
and Sheri Harris (5'6" from
Pleasant Hill), a hitter. Other
freshman include a duo from
Pleasant Hill: Janet Baltzer,
( the tallest player onthe team
at 5' 10") a middle blocker,
and Diane Greenwood (5'7")
who will anchor the back row
as a hitter. Tracy Ptomey
(5'6" from Gilchrist High in
Bend) will share time with the
Pleasant Hill women as a hitter.
The tea~ is pretty much set
at this point. With only 11
women on the . team no one
will be cut. Coach Tomblom
has already lost one player to
injury. Leslie Snuggerud's
"previous back injury
developed into a serious
enough situation that it was
unhealthy for her to continue," admits Tornblom
regretfully.

This leaves a spot open on
the team and Coach Tornblom
is willing to take on a couple
more players who fit his
description: "We don't intend
to allow any more local
players to join the team, but if
there are some players from
out-of-town or the immediate
area or local players who have
been working out of state
come back when school starts
we might accept them and they
would have a chance to try and
join the squad ... we want one
more player, I need at least
12. '' So if anyone fits his
description and wants to join
the team come to the daily
practice sessions between 2
p.m. and 5 p.m. at the LCC
main gym.
"We'll be a good team, I
won't predict what record
we'll have but we'll be a top
contender and make things exciting. This team has the
potential to win the league title,'' concluded Tornblom.

ASLCC Communication Director

Although most of the student body was elsewhere, student government had a
busy a summer with a day camp program, monthly senate meetings, the Creswell
Air Fair, the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon, and a Heceta House retreat.
The eight week, low-cost day camp provided on-campus fun for 20 elementary
school age children of summer term LCC students. Staff members Don Metzler
and Lori Marr coordinated field trips, arts and crafts projects, nature walks and
other fun, educational activities for the campers.
The ASLCC senate met monthly to conduct senate business and lay the
groundwork for the coming year.
Meeting discussions centered around purchasing a computer and creating a
"mugshot" book (see related story).
Members of student government helped park cars at the Creswell Air Fair on
July 27-28, and manned 15 telephones September I from 9:30 p.m. to I a.m.to
collect pledges for the Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy Telethon.
The annual ASLCC transitional workshop at Heceta House, June 14-16,
brought together outgoing and incoming senate members for three days of looking back and moving forward. A lengthy brainstorming session produced a list of
goals and objectives for 1985-86, with "improved communications" eading the
list.

band's career, but she says she
doesn't mind. She enjoys the
adventure of a new place, and
says '' I tend to make friends
pretty easily.''
When the Turners met in
1953, they were both music
majors at Fisk University, in
Nashville, Tenn. They married
in 1957. Although both of
them were music teachers for
many years, they no longer
teach music, and rarely play.
They still enjoy a good concert, however, and plan to frequent the Hult Center.
Although the two now live
further from their 23-year-old
daughter Edris Tucker's family in Cleveland, Ohio, the
move brought them closer to
their son Michael, 26, who
lives in Fountain Valley, Cal.
Mrs. Turner stayed in
Cleveland to help out with her
new granddaughter, Rachel,
for a month while Dr. Turner
drove to Eugene to settle into
their new home in the Oakway
area of Eugene.
Turner's father, Richard M.
Turner II, is currently visiting
with the Turners. He's
recovering from the injuries of
an automobile accident and
related medical complications.
Mrs. Turner enjoys spec-

--Backstage

tator sports -- especially those
with anything that can be
thrown~ hit, rolled or bounced. Dr. Turner, when he does
get some leisure time, likes to
play with his Digital Rainbow
100 computer. And, says Mrs.
Turner, "We walk."
But during most of his waking hours, Dr. Turner can be
found in his office on the second floor of the Administrative Building, working
to meet the needs of a very
demanding job. "The
challenge is in continuing to
motivate the faculty and staff
to be as creative and exciting
as they have been," he says.
"It's an exciting challenge."

Basement

(cont. from page 7)
BPC requested another round
of testing at the June meeting.
Colvin reported they would be
scheduled during the summer,
when production activity in
Printing and Graphics is high.
• Sediment was discovered in
the water of a drinking fountain installed last fall.
Although tests revealed no
contamination of the water
the pipes were flushed and th;
fountain was left running con-

stantly for a time to insure its
purity.
• Directories, no smoking
signs, and emergency instructions for evacuating the basement were posted.
• To reduce the amount of
diesel fumes drawn into the
building's ventilation system,
truck drivers were asked not to
idle their motors while loading
and unloading near the
cafeteria. Plans to extend the

air intake vent are currently
stalled, but Colvin says the
temporary solution seems to
have solved the problem.
• The BPC requested that a
light system connected to the
fire alarms be installed in Printing and Graphics. At the June
meeting, the BPC asked that a
battery powered emergency
lighting system be developed
for the qasement in case of

power failures. Colvin said the
problem was being examined
by college electricians at that
time.
• A student phone was
removed from the basement.
The BPC proposed a little used student area in the basement be reallocated to various
departments. No formal request for space reallocation
has been submitted, and the
study area remains.
