LCC entic es Van Duyn
by Karen lrmsher

TORCH Editor

More chocolate and more
jobs will be coming to Eugene
next summer, and LCC can
take a lot of the credit.
Van Duyn Chocolate Shops
had almost settled on a site in
Camas, Wash. to build a
replacement for their Portland
factory, destroyed by fire in
March.
LCC's offer to provide
training for their workers was
''the key non-economic consideration" in their decision to
build their $3 to $5 million
plant in Eugene, Van Duyn's
- President Dick McCall told
the TORCH Wednesday.
The training offer was part
of a package of incentives put
together by the city, county
and state to attract new
busineses to Eugene. The
Eugene - Spring fie 1 d
Metropolitan Partnership and
the Southern Willamette

Private Industi:y Council were
both involved in coordinating
the effort, according to McCall.
"We agreed to train their initial workforce of approximately 100," confirms Nan
Poppe, coordinator of
classroom training programs
at LCC. She says this will inelude two types of training: (1)
a generalized 30-40 hour orientation covering the candymak-

ing business, Van Duyn corporate philosophy and history,
and (2) a more in-depth training program for candymakers.
Only 12-15 of the workers
will actually be making candy,
she says. The rest will be
packagers, secretaries, administrators, and other support staff.
The advertising and screening for all of these positions
will be handled by the
Southern Willamette Private
Industry Council. Current
plans target January as the

month the recruitment of
employees will begin, through
ads in The Register-Guard, according to Poppe.
In addition to the initial
training, LCC agreed to add
confectioners classes to its
regular course offerings, and
to make ca.m pus facilities
available for hosting yearly
ca nd Ymaking inS t itutes sponsored by th e candy industry.
Candymakers from all over
the world attend these institutes, says Poppe.
Dick McCall estimates the
plant will take eight months to
build and will eventually
employ up to 300 people during peak seasons. Construction is scheduled to begin
sometime next month.
Eighty stores throughout
the West sell Van Duyn candy,
and while McCall would not
reveal how many pounds of
chocolate they sell in a year, he
did say, "It's enormous."

According to Paul Colvin, director of Campus Services, LCC
has been trying to get this access road built for 18 years. From 7
a.m. to 9 a.m., during the peak college traffic hours, it has been
illegal for westbound cars to turn right onto 30th Avenue from
the stop sign at the end of McVay Highway.
According to the Oregon State Highway patrol, at times more
than a dozen tickets a day had been issued because of illegal
U-turns at this intersection, and there were occasional accidents
as well.

Orange plastic will soon di-sappear
by Karen Irmsher

TORCH Editor

What was once a four-lane
highway became a two lane
road punctuated with orange
plastic warning markers last
November when a part of 30th
Avenue slipped down the embankment due to heavy rains.
After 10 months, the plastic
may seem permanent, but it's
not, says County Engineer
Ollie Snowden.
''This is currently the most
catastrophic slide on a county

road," he says, and repairs
will cost approximately
$198,000.

If the weather holds out,
and the contractor finishes his
work on schedule, 30th should
be a four-lane highway again
by Oct. 31, according to
Snowden.
Thirtieth was built in the
mid-sixties, and widened in the
seventies. In 1982, the county
added the Spring Boulevard
offramp. Snowden speculates
that this may have contributed

to instability in the road's support, but it wasn't a problem
until the heavy rains of last
November.
L. R. Squire, a Portlandbased private geotechnical
consulting firm with expertise
in the analysis of slides, took
''test drills'' to determine the
extent of the "failure plane."
The plane, in this case, consists of a clay material which
became lubricated by rain
water and caused the fill section to slide.

Reagan hacks apartheid by lack of action against S. Africa
Forum Submitted by John Jordan
LCC Student

Recently I talked with an aide to Senator Bob
Packwood ~this Washington, D.C. office about
the issue of South Africa and the president's
plans for administrative sanctions. He informed
me that the sanctions President Reagan announced on Sept. 19 were "nine-tenths" of what the
Congressional Conference Committee bill contained.
His opinion seemed to contradict a variety of
news reports which suggested that the two sets of
sanctions were quite different in strength. The
aide also estimated that the republican leadership
in the Senate would likely no longer pursue a
vote on the passage of the Congressional bill.
That is a regrettable tragedy.
In a recent issue of The Register-Guard, columnist William Raspberry stated that the sanctions Reagan supports are essentially already in
effect because o the business community's lack
of confidence in the South African government.
Is this any kind of foreign policy for the Reagan
administration to follow? A foreign policy does
not have any bite or leverage if the president
says, "Gosh, apartheid is nasty; I now declare
restrictions (or punishments) that already exist."
This is ridiculous cowardice and leaves a gaping
hole where a clear, tough foreign policy is needed.
According to Roger Wilkens of the Free South
Africa movement (quoted in the Raspberry col-

umn), the bill from Congress required "specific
steps in the next 18 months which, if they were
met, would lead to relaxation of the 'sanctions,
but if unmet would lead to harsher measures."
This crucial stipulation is left out of the president's sanctions.
Personally, I would much rather have concrete, immediate sanctions put into law by both
Congress and the president, rather than settle for
promises of "I'll think about banning krugerrands" or "I'll set up a commission to provide
recommendations.''
The developments in South Africa are far too
serious to be left up to studies or that old
political dodge -- commissions. I believe Bishop
Desmond Tutu was quite accurate about the
president when he said after Reagan's announcement:' 'He is merely trying to save himself from
the humiliation of a veto override. Your president is much more interested in helping
Republicans to be re-elected than in ending the
bloodshed. He has no real interest in the welfare
of blacks."
White South African leaders are not stupid.
They know when someone is side-stepping real
economic pressure and replacing it with simple
rhetoric -- as the president has done.
The idea expressed by some Republican
leaders in the Senate, that we should stand
behind the president and speak with one voice, is
ludicrous. It was the president who made South
Africa a partisan issue by threatening to veto
Congress' bill. Congress had already designed a

fairly decent bipartisan compromise.
The failure comes courtesy of a few weakkneed Republicans in the Senate who refuse to
stand up to a popular president of their own party.
The world expects bickering over specifics
when legislation evolves in the U.S. Congress but
it is the final law, as signed by the president, that
speaks loudest to the world community. In this
case, however, it was the president who circumvented the normal process and torpedoed
Congress' attempt to send a strong message to
Pretoria -- and it was done for purely political
reasons.
This looks very bad indeed. It tarnishes our
image in the world. Why don't Republicans mention this (greater) image problem when they fret
about our not appearing to speak with one voice?
I believe the president has blundered
significantly on this issue. President Reagan lags
far behind the will of the American people.
He is not taking strong enough measures to
protect our interests and good name. In my view,
stinging economic pressure on the Pretoria
government to end apartheid cannot be strong
enough or swift enough in its delivery.
It may already be too late for P. W. Botha and
his brutal, racist regime to stem the rising tide of
revolution, but we must think of our long-term
political and economic interests. When a black
majority comes to power in South Africa, it is
likely they will not have forgotten how hard or
easy we Americans made their ascent to power.

I had known they were there
for quite some time, sending
me bills, helping the bank and
the IRS keep track of my
money or lack thereof, managing my missile systems, and
occasionally even calling me
on the phone to sell me
something I had not yet
thought of wanting.
I had noted the multiplica-

tion of lidless green eyes glowing contentedly on desks in big
buildings and I knew my
16-year-old son had been playing with them for years.
But I had hoped age would
exempt me. When you get to a
certain age, society cuts you a
little slack about some things
but apparently 42 isn't old
enough.
On becoming editor of the
TORCH, I found one, buried
under the piles of unanswered
memos in our advisor, Pete
Peterson's office. We'd had it
for some months, I was told,
and a $2,000 gizmo was on
order that would make it
possible for Apples to talk to
our typesetter.
Nobody had had time to
learn how to use it, though, •
the staff informed me with
shrugs of shoulders and

helpless grins on their faces.
They
quickly
busied
themselves with other tasks.
So during the summer I
learned about bits and bytes,
rams and roms, dos and prodos. Certainly, I thought, I've
now paid sufficient homage to
this new god.
Then last week one followed
me ·home, ran big orange cords
across my livingroom, shoved
everything on my desk out of
the way, littered the floors and
tables with its boxes and instruction books, anq refused
to budge. In addition, it
demanded that I rewire a room
for it, threatening to lose its
memory some cold dark night
when I've just spent hours tapping a story onto it, and someone somewhere in the house
turns on a space heater.
Specifically, it wanted my

son's room.
Quick to realize he was in a
position of power, my son
agreed to relocate, if I'd buy
him a double bed, with new
sheets and blankets, and allow
him to paint the ceiling in his
new room to look like a giant
checkerboard. We're still
negotiating about the ceiling.
So I just thought I'd warn
you. There's a lot of them out
there -- more every day·__ and
they want to get into your
homes.
Age will not protect you. If
you like having room for
paper, pens, books and
typewriters on your desks, and
monochromatic paint on your
ceilings, maybe there's still
enough time to form a nonusers support group.
But you'd better hurry.

FTE con tinu es ·to dec line
by Lisa Zimmerman

TORCH Associate Editor

According to Jack Carter,
vice president for Student Services, enrollment at LCC is
continuing its downward
trend. In an interview Sept.
23, Carter said that compared
to the end of registration a
year ago, there are 405 fewer
students enrolled in credit
courses. As of Oct. 2, the college is projecting an FTE
figure of 8100.
Yet, Vice President for Instruction Gerald Rasmussen
says recent statistics give him
reason to be cautiously optimistic. Rasmussen compares
figures from recent years,
showing that in 1981-82 the
college had a little over 9500

FTE; then about 9300 in
1982-83, and 8600 in 1983-84.
Last year enrollment was right
at 8200 FTE, and this year
Rasmussen says enrollment
seems to be stabilizing at approximately 8100 FTE.
He's encouraged by these
figures because they seem to
show a leveling trend, perhaps
an end to the steady, abrupt
decline.
College officials speculate
about the reasons for lower
enrollment, but Rasmussen
says, right now, the real
reasons are "anyone's guess."
The vice president noted the
fact that enrollment at the U
of O is good, as is enrollment
at most four-year colleges.
"It's easy to say 'they've been
recruiting more and have a

LCC success rates

Twenty-five percent of the
students at LCC dropped out
of at least half the classes they
originally registered for last
year, according to Jack
Carter, Vice President of Student Services.
"I think we can do better, if
we have a chance to do better, " said Carter. According
to the vice president, there are
many services available to improve students' success rates.
'The problem is getting them
to access those services. "
The Torch interviewed
returning students last week
who have been able to "do
better. " During these interviews not only campus services, but numerous staff and
f acuity -- too numerous to
name -- were mentioned as extremely helpful and effecient.
Those staff members who are
named here are those who
were mentioned most often by
the students who · were interviewed.
• Sharon Johnson decided to
return to school in order to do
something "more important"
with her life. School, for the
first time in 11 years, was both
frustrating and confusing.
She first heard about the
Women's Awareness Center
from a fell ow student. When
she walked into the Center,
located in Center 217 "the
woman smiled and said, 'Can
I help you?' That's how it
started.''
Johnson said the center has
helped her accept herself, to
set goals and gain perspective
on situations that, at times,
looked hopeless.
According to Izetta Hunter,
Women's Center coordinator,

the goal of the center is to provide support, encouragement,
information, and referral to
campus and community
resources.
For Johnson and many
other students, both men and
women, the center is a place to
relax, meet friends, and
receive objective feedback and
advice from professionals
who, according to Johnson,
"are always there and will
make time to help."
• For Nancy Parker, a flight
technology student, it was the
location of the Multi-Cultural
Center (Room 409 Center
Building) that first attracted
her. The MCC was a "haven"
away from the stress ·of college
activity, she says. "It was a
quiet place where I could sit,
have a cup of coffee, and comfortably exchange information
with other students."
But as time went on, the
MCC became increasingly imporant to Parker. Kent
Gorham, last year's MultiCultural Center coordinator,
first ''helped 'demystify' the
LCC main campus" for
Parker, and then went on to
assist her in her search for the
scholarship money she needed
in order to successfully complete the flight tech program.
Connie Mesquita, the coordinator for the MCC this year,
says its goal is two-fold: It's a
place for minority students to
exchange ideas and gain support from others who may be
in the same situation; and it is
also a place for minority
students to gain help and support if they do run into problems.
For example, the MCC can
provide tutoring for students

paign, ' and this is probably a
factor in the enrollment situation."

But another possible reason
for the decline, says
Rasmussen, and one that is
difficult to verify, may be a
new trend society is taking in 9,000
the 1980s. Rasmussen says a
great many of the students
who normally attend LCC are

a university, or are unsure of
their direction and still searching. But he thinks now days
"student's are more selfmotivated and more sure of
their career goals at an earlier
age than in the past, and this
seems to lead many to a fouryear university."

LCC's Full Time Equivalent, or FTE,
has decreased steadily since 1981.

(One FTE is a measurement of
one student enrolled full-time, or
the equivalent -- such as two
students at half-time, or a combination equal to a full-time

Commentary by
Lisa Zimmerman

TORCH Associate Editor

There I was, just a mildmannered journalist, sincerely
setting out to write a story
about a once successful program in the Counseling
Department, the Retention
Center.
I ventured to the Counseling
Department information desk.
"Could you direct me to the
Retention Center?'' I innocently asked the man behind
the counter.
I was met, first with a look
of puzzlement, then the man
mumbled something incomprehensible, and finally told
me I would have to speak to
John Bernham the "Head of
Counseling.''
Little did I know I had just
entered THE RETENTIONLESS ZONE where
nothing seems definite, and no
one knows the answers.
I successfully made an appointment with John Bernham, and, perhaps owing to
my relative inexperience in
dealing with department
heads, I naively thought,
"Now I'll find out about the
Retention Center.''
Bernham turned out to be a
very helpful man, as heads go
-- eager to talk about every
facet of the Counseling
Department. For some strange
reas~n, though, I was learning
nothmg about the Retention
Center. Not comprehending at
first, the reason Bernham
wasn't talking about the
Center soon became clear to
me -- there was very little to
talk about.
The "Retention Center"
turned out to be one woman,
Cpralee Heinis, to whom (in

the past) students were referred by instructors if the
students appeared to need
special help to succeed in their
classes. Heinis would attempt
to contact these students and,
as Bernham put it, "get them
back on track."
Unfortunately, I was told,
Heinis is "on leave" and it
would be at least two weeks
before Bernham would be able
to hire seomeone to take her
place.
Having a journalistic mind
like a steel trap, I immediately
realized (okay, so it was two
days later) that, strange as it
may seem, at a time when the
college is most concerned with
getting and keeping students -of boosting the FTE in order
to obtain the maximum
number of state reimbursement dollars -- there is NO
RETENTION CENTER.
During the following week's
interviews l asked others outside the Counseling Department what they knew about
the Retention Center . . . just
out of curiosity ... journalists
are like that.
I was suddenly inundated
with a plethora (look it up) of
accusations and just plain
alarming statements, gossip
even. There were rumors of
alleged personality conflicts
within the Counseling Department. Some said this was
MORE than just leave for
Heinis. Some said she wasn't
coming back. I was suddenly
struck with another vivid burst
of insight -- noone, now here
seemed to know THE
WHOLE STORY.
But one small journalist can
only take so many statements
followed by "but you can't
use my name with this!"
before she starts to crack. So,

wearily, I trudged back to Bernham's office. He assured me
that Heinis will again be
heading the Retention Project
this Winter Term, and that he
and she are on good terms. It
must be true -- he has Heinis'
postcards from Monaco to
prove it.
But the point of all this is :
"Why has it taken so long to
get a replacement for Heinis?"
According to Bernham, the
college is determining whether
the Retention Center position
should be changed from a
classified staff (support) position to a faculty position, a
process over which Bernham
has no control.
It is peculiar to this strange
zone, somehwere between
shadow and substance, that information is hard to come by
and no one is ever AT
FAULT. The question of the
Retention Center is now
something the UNION and the
COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION will decide.
But time is going by. There
is no one coordinating the
Retention Center . Many
students will be dropping out
of school this week -- although
with some special advice they
might be retained.
In the meantime, What will
happen to the Retention
Center? Will someone take the
responsibility for it? Or is it
doomed to be t,angled forever
in Union an~ Administrative
red tape?
Hopefully, the students who
need special help and encouragement will find support
elsewhere.
And, sad as it may seem,
some will inevitably be lost in
that void known as THE
RETENTIONLESS ZONE.

But don't give up, says
Hendrickson. Students
should be aware that many
classes are only offered
once each year. That means
the bookstore will only buy
back the book just before
the class is offered again,
and only if it has a faculty
order to use the book again.·
If the student checks with
the bookstore during
buyback week each term,
there's a chance the book
will be bought several terms
after it was used. But it is
up to the student to hold
onto the book and to keep
checking.
And just how much do
students get back in this
buyback bargain?
''There is a standard 50
percent (of the list price)
buyback rate,'' says Hendrickson. Even if students
buy used books this fall,
they can expect 50 percent
of the (December) list price.
So, buying used textbooks to begin with can be
a real bargain. Students pay
only 75 percent of the list
(new) price if the book is
"used." Then they'll get 50
percent of the new price
when they sell the used
boo}cs back.

If students won't be
keeping their texts at the
end of the term, and if the
Bookstore does want them,
then the buyback plan is the
best deal on books.
But what about the books
nobody wants?
Texts the bookstore can't
buy back may still be worth
a little to the wholesale
buyer.
He/ she runs the buyback
program for the bookstore
and then sells LCC the
books it can use. The buyer
won't give students the 50
percent price on nonuseable books, but may offer enough (usually only 12
percent or less of the new
price) to get the student to
sell.
The wholesale buyer then
pools the books LCC can't
use and sells them to
schools which are using the
text. Hendrickson says
some of the used books sold
in the LCC Bookstore have
come from other wholesale
services. She says it's one
way the school can offer the
lower costs to students who
need or .want to spend less
on their books.
But the bookstore can't
help with all books. Highly
technical and therefore
highly expensive tests

wouldn't have made it without
the center - but it would have
been really tough."
• J anese could handle the 16
credits at LCC and the 3 she
was carrying at the U of 0. It
was when she tried to quit
smoking that she "nearly
came unglued."
Fortunately, for Janese the
Counseling Department,
located in the lobby, second
floor of the Center Building,
offers more than just
academic counseling. She got
in touch with Julia Poole in
Counseling, and says, "With
Julia's help, I made it through
school during that time.''
John Bernham, director of
counseling, says the department offers "all kinds of
couseling for students." As in
the case of Janese, the department deals with students' personal problems. It has a
special Family Counseling
unit. There is also special
Career Counseling available
within the department.
It offers academic counseling, but in this area the department receives mixed reviews.

($40-$50 range), such as
nursing books, are rarely
sold back to the Bookstore,
says Hendrickson.
''The students keep the
texts for reference books.
About the only ones we ever
get back are from the
students who choose not to
stay in the (Nursing) program.''
Students can purchase
new and used books at the
LCC Bookstore, the U of 0
Bookstore and private concerns like the Smith Family
Bookstore. Students can
also hunt down other
students currently enrolled
in a class using the text they
want and negotiate a
private purchase. The
sellers usually make a little
better than 50 percent
they'd get at the bookstore,
and the buyers usually pay a
little less than the 75 percent
used book price.
It's a "Buyer Beware"
situation,
however;
students need to be sure the
instructor will be using the
text!
The ASLCC has a
bulletin board in the lobby
of the Center Building
where students with books
to sell can post 3x5 cards.
See BOOKS, page 11

Some students feel they've
been advised to take classes
that they found, through further investigation, they didn't
really need.
According to Bill Loeks, an
LCC student planning to
transfer to the U of O next
term, "I got a lot of 'answers,'
but I came out with the same
questions I 'Started with."
Students who seemed to
receive good advice were those
who knew the direction they
wished to take and who went
to a counselor for that specific
area of study. For example, a
journalism major would see
Tim Blood, the counselor for
(among other things) Mass
Communications majors.
Jack Carter says Student
Services staff exists to help
students, but the responsibility
to seek help is the student's.
' There are a lot of pressures
facing students today, and we
all find it difficult to talk
about our problems," says
Carter. But, he adds, two people working on a problem will
find answers that wouldn't
have been apparent to just
one..

The LCC Titans' Women's
Cross Country team is gearing
up for its 1985 season and
defense of its Region IV
Championship under the
leadership of Coach Lyndell
Wilken.
According to Coach
Wilken, the season looks promising, ''With the return of
four members from last year's
squad, Lane should display
more consistency and depth
than the 1984 team."
Four key sophomores will
be returning in Ann Macklin,
Stacey Cooper, Merry Gesner,
and Diana Nicholas. Macklin
was the team leader most of
last season and became the
first freshman ever to win the
WQmen's Northwest Athletic
Association of Community
College's (NWAACC) Region
IV Cross Country title. She
then went on to the Northwest
Championship and overcame
an illness to finish an impressive seventh overall. In
1983 Macklin was the OHSA
(Oregon High School Association) Class AAA 3,000 Meter

Champion while running for
Roseburg High School.
Key newcomers to the squad
include local high school star
Val Quade from Churchill
High School who placed
seventh in the OHSA AAA
Championship 1,500 Meters
last spring. Tammie Gardiner
from Florence may rest an injured ankle but could add
some depth to the squad later
in the season according to
Coach Wilken. Other promising freshmen include Suzy
Taggart from Tillamook;
Yvonne Willard from
Oakridge; Wendy Barnett,
also from Florence; and
Michelle Turner form Cottage
Grove.
The team also includes four
others, freshman Nicki
Thompson from St. Helens;
sophomore Janelle Henderson
from Albany; sophomore Lisa
Pierre from Gilchrist in Bend;
and sophomore Toni Tabor
from Springfield High, who
may join the squad after college begins.
Last season
Henderson finished ninth in
the regional meet and took an
impressive 11th place overall
at the NW Championship and

TORCH Sports Editor

The LCC Women's cross
country team started its preseason last Saturday, Sept. 28,
by hosting the Garrie Franklin
Classic here at Lane and made
a good showing in this tune-up
meet.
The Titan women swept the
first three positions in the
community college bracket
with Ann Macklin finishing
first on the 5000 meter course
with a time of 19 minutes 34.9
seconds. Merry Gesner finished second in 19:57.6 and
Diana Nicholas finished third
completing the sweep with a
time of 20:09. 7.
Freshman Suzy Taggart was
the biggest suprise to Coach
Lyndell Wilken as Taggart
took an impressive ninth in her
first college cross country meet
with a time of 21: 16.8. Stacey
Cooper ran as an unofficial

member of the team (she can't
be an official member until she
gets some grade discrepancies
taken care of) to a 12th place
finish in 21 :30.9 while Wendy
Barrett placed 15th in 22:07 .9
and Michelle Turner rounded
out the LCC team with a 20th
place finish in 23 :07 .4. All of
Lane's runners placed in the
top 20.
The team travels to Salem
this Saturday, Oct. 5, to compete in its second pre-season

Titan Spikers off to slnw start
by Darren Foss

TORCH Sports Editor

The LCC volleyball team
has been affectionately
nicknamed the ''Tiny Titans''
by Coach Steve Tornblom
since the team's line-up is the
shortest in the NWAACC
league. So far their opponents
height hasn't hurt them much,
as the team holds a 1-1 league
record and 1-2 record overall
in the early season.
The Titans' opened their
season at home last Wednesday, Sept. 25, in the first
match of a five match home
stand with a tough five set loss
to the Gray's Harbor Chokers
and then came back on Saturday, Sept. 28, to defeat the
Linn-Benton Roadrunners in
four sets in their NWAACC
league opener before stumbling against the Southwestern
Oregon Lakers this past
Wednesday, Oct. 2, in four
games.
LCC came on strong last
Wednesday against the
Chokers in the first set, winning 15-2, but then·lost a close
second set in a tie-breaker,
16-14. They lost momentum
after that losing the third set,
15-9, before coming back to
take the fourth, 15-10. This
forced the fifth and deciding

Chokers won 15-11 to take the

The "Tiny Titans" in action.

Joi Tipton had a good floor
game with 25 digs (a new type
of stat. created by Tornblom
with consists of any ball hit
over the net, other than serves,
which causes the team to roll,
run or dive for it).
Then on Saturday Lane
came into the match fired up
and defeated the Linn-Benton
Roadrunners 15-10, 15-12,
14-16, 15-9. The Titans had
another opportunity to sweep
their opponents in three
straight games but the
Roadrunners took the third set
in a hard fought tie-breaker,
16-14.
Tornblom also gave two
new players the opportunity to
play as Lori Schad and Sherri
Cornett played well after only
a few days practice. "Both
came in off the bench and
c;howed good potential."

Lane played Saturday's
match like a totally different
ball club. The team's confidence level and positive attitude were high and individual performances were
much improved.
Against the Lakers Lane
made too many mental
mistakes and SWOCC took
advantage of them winning in
four games, 15-7, 15-2, 12-15,
15-11. The Titans were able to
avoid a sweep by taking the
third game, 15-12.
Tonight, Oct. 4, the Titans
play against the Clackamas
Cougars here starting at 7
p.m. in the main gym. This
will be a good hard fought
match as Lane will be out to
avenge a sweep by the Cougars
of both meetings last year between the two teams which
enabled them to grab second
place in the league.

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. Before, 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 left 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) pro~ram.
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 drug~
prevent them from working

()p~~~ .

·\_'f.tM-'\~

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.
Books and Booze will be
forming a new support group
this fall. The first meeting is
scheduled for Monday, October 7 from 3-5 p.m. For
more information check with
Marje Wynia or leave a
message in the counseling office, ext. 2204.

' Maybe I just don't belong here '

Dear Annabanana,
I'm so frustrated. Maybe I
don't belong here in school.
Maybe I should just drop out
and not even try. I see so·many
people around me who've got
it all together and know exactly where they're going with
their educations and career
goals. But I've already changed my mind twice, and I don't
think I can bear to go through
another change!

Besides that, it makes me
feel stupid not to have a solid
goal. I feel like I'm wasting
everybody's time, including
my own,. except that I really
enjoy the learning process. But
one thing I haven't learned yet
is what to do with all this learning!
I guess I really don't know
what I want to do "when I
gr.9w up." But I'm 42 -- isn't
that grown up enough?
Sincerely,
More scared than frustrated

ASLCC free legal services

for registered LCC students

Dear Scared,
First of all, most college
students -- no matter what age
-- really don't have it all
together.
They might look sure of
themselves today, but tomorrow or next week they could be
frustrated and confused again.
Most students spend a good
part of their education trying
to . make the right decisions
regarding their career goals.
(See related story on page 3.)
And you're absolutely right,
decision-making is more
scarey •than frustrating
doesn't matter if you're 18, or
42, or 65! But, don't let the
fear of making one wrong
decision keep you from making the right decision! There is
nothing wrong with changing
your mind -- once, twice, a
dozen times -- maybe even
TWO dozen times if that's
what it takes, because, we're
talking about your career here,
not what movie to go to.
And we're talking about do-

ing something you'll like doing
for the next two decades, not
the next two hours.
Give yourself a pat on the
back for already exploring two
options and dicovering why
they wouldn't be right for you.
Even your ability to close
some of the doors of choice
(and aren't there hundreds of
doors to choose from
nowdays?) will help you know
more about yourself. And
that's one of the main keys
that will eventually open the
right door.
Get to know yourself a little
better. Get to know why you
don't like certain things so you
can begin to understand why
you do like other things.
Remember -- you're the'stu...dent and you've come here to
lea,rn.
:so don't get locked up by
your fears and frustrations.
Keep your eyes and ears open:
look at lots of questions and
give yourself time to mull over
the replies. Something inside
you wants to make the right

DANIEL, from page 2

Besides her work at LCC,
Daniel served on numerous
boards and was active in community efforts which included
Looking Glass Youth and
Family Services Inc., Family
Intervention and Crisis
Center, Family Counseling
Service and Meals on Wheels.
Gerald Rasmussen, vice
president for instruction at
LCC, met Daniel when they
both lived in the Junction City
School District. He says he
was first impressed by Daniel's
strength and directness. "She
would say the same thing, in
the same way to everyone.
Every person, no matter what
their station in life, had the
same dignity in Loretta's
eyes.''
Close friends agree. "Her
joy in life was helping people.
overcome theIT problems, and
making them believe they
could do more than they ever
thought possible," said
Margie Holland (Counseling).
Evelyn Tennis (Student Activities) says the number of
students helped and effected
by Daniel is beyond the scope
of belief. ''There are many
who will never forget her.''
The memorial service will
be at 1 p. m. Saturday, Oct. 5
at St. Jude's Catholic Church,
4330 Willamette. Instead of
flowers, the family suggests
making contributions in her
memory to the LCC Foundation for student scholarships.

The Sooher.. Jhe Better.
The best time to find out you've got a health problem is while
there's still plenty of time to do something about it. That's why
SelectCare • is ~uch a good idea.
With mQst insurance you have to wait until after you 're sick to use
your benefits.
SelectCare,' on the other hand, promotes prevention by paying
for regular check-ups, exams and numerous health
maintenance programs that are aimed ·at keeping you healthy.
So why wait until you 're sick to benefit from health insurance,
when you can start now to enjoy coverage that pays to keep you
healthy.

forming Arts Building. The State Highway Department has
plans to close permanently the old access off of Alvey Substation Road, but the date for this closure is still undecided, accor
ding to Tom Stinchfield, transportation and planning engineer
for Lane County.
The highway department is installing a new stop light at the
intersection of 30th and McVay. It is scheduled for completion
by January and will both increase safety and speed the flow of
traffic, according to Stinchfield. The stop sign now at that intersection is inefficient for such a busy intersection.
The new road was constructed at a cost of $40,000 to the
county and includes an west-bound 10-car turn lane. LCC provided the land and will maintain the surface, according to Paul
Colvin.

Textbooks

• One question often asked is whether or not a book
can be marked with
underlining or highlighting.
According to Hendrickson,
a reasonable amount of
marking is allowable.
"But excessive marking
or ~ribbing in the margins
makes the book less appealing to another student."
In fact, one mark recommended by Hendrickson is
the owner's name.
"Once students know
they will be staying in the
class and keeping their
books for the term.'' Hendrickson says, ''they should
get their names into their
books. If we buy the texts
back, we can black over the
names.''
