Bomb threat causes disruption but no damage
by Lisa Zimmerman

TORCH Associate Editor

The LCC main campus was
closed and all students and
staff evacuated due to a bomb
threat last Monday, Nov. 4.
The call, which was received
by the switchboard at about
7:30 a.m., was anonymous
and specified no locations.
Besides the general disruption and ensuing evacuation
caused by the threat, it was
probably most detrimental to
KLCC-FM and Food Services.
KLCC was forced to go off
the air fro~ 8:30 a.m. to
about 6:00 p.m. when, according to Station Manager Jon

Schwartz, it resumed broadcasting via a special microwave unit from KZEL studios
to the KLCC transmitter.
Schwartz said Monday's
shutdown was especially hard
because KLCC had intended
to rerun Sunday's debate between Eugene Mayor Brian
Obie and Lane County Commissioner Peter DeFazio over
the proposed city income tax.
"There had been a lot of
good publicity about that
broadcast -- it's an important
issue -- and then it wasn't able
to happen,'' said a frustrated
Schwartz.
According to Bob Tegge,
Food Services Manager, ap-

proximately $150 worth of
perishable food items were
wasted because of the threat.
But the waste would have been
worse if not for the
resourcefulness of Tegge and
food services personnel, who
donated another $125 worth
of muffins and other pastries
to the Eugene Mission rather
than throwing them away.
''They (Eugene Mission)
were very grateful for the
donations, so it actually worked out quite well,'' said Tegge.
As for the actual evacuation, Assistant to the President Larry Warford said the
standard procedures, as
outlined in the Administrative

Lane Community College
Theatre will open its new
season Friday, Nov. 15, with
"The Teahouse of the August
Moon" by John Patrick. Performances are also scheduled
Nov. 16 and Nov. 20-23. All
performances begin at 8 p.m.
in the main theater at the college.
The production is directed
by Stan Elberson, designed by
Bruce Bibby and costumed by
Nancy Julian.
"Teahouse of the August
Moon,'' the story of sh~red
experiences of Amencan
soldiers and Okinawan
villagers during the U.S. occupation of the island after
World War II, has won many
honors, including a Pulitzer
Prize and a New York Drama
Critics' Circle Award.
The main characters in the
play are Captain Fisby, who
tries to shape an Okinawan
village in the image of the
United States, played by Mark
Langlie; Sakini, Fisby's liaison
with the villagers, played by
Joe Pang; and Col. Wainwright Purdy III, Fisby's commander, played by Ben Taitel.
Other players are Renn
Pupke as Sgt. Gregovitch,
Brian Conley as Capt.
McLean and Haruko Azuma
as Lotus Blossom.
Reserved-seat tickets cost $6
and are available at the
theater's campus box office,
which is open from noon to 4
p.m. weekdays. The telephone
number is 726-2202.

Services Operations Manual,
were followed with no major
difficulties.
A sherriff's deputy was
dispatched M~nday morning
to help trained campus security crews investigate the threat.
The search produced no
bombs.
But, said Warford, "there
are always things you find to
improve when you 're faced
with an actual emergency.''
One of these improvements,
according to Warford, will be
to organize an effective traffic
flow procedure to avoid the
confusion that resulted from
the mass exodus on Monday.
''We realize traffic was a
problem on Monday and we
have taken steps to improve
the situation," said Warford.
There have been some complaints from students who felt
frightened and didn't know
what was happening on Monday, according to ASLCC
Senator Randy Scovel. But
Vice President for Student
Services Jack Carter claims
that most students seemed
level-headed. "I didn't sense a
great amount of panic from

students. The most emotion I
noticed was from some very
angry students complaining
about someone who would
pull something as foolish as
this."
About possible future
threats Warford said, "We're
not going to risk anyone's life.
It's just not worth it. But we
have learned several things
from this experience -- one of
those being how to balance the
risk against the disruption this
kind of thing causes."
• The college had a chance to
test this new-found knowledge
two days later when campus
security received another
bomb threat Wednesday, at 4
p.m. Compared to Monday
this threat caused little disruption. The caller pinpointed the
bomb in the Science Building,
which resulted in the transfer
of two classes to the Math and
Arts Building. Night classes
were held as usual.
Warford said Campus
Security is handling the investigation into the threats,
but declined to comment further on any specifics of the investigation.

Campus Services fights to save trees

A third problem is density.

ALL

Two views of High Tech
by Alan Lybarger

for the TORCH

Can minorities integrate into a high tech society, and does
high tech overshadow the human aspect of industry?
These questions were raised in a LCC hosted conference Nov.
I and 2, titled, "High Tech, Ethnic Minorities and the Pacific
Rim: Opportunity or Panacea?"
In an address at the Willamette Valley Racial Minorities Consortium's ei~hth annual meeting, Dr. Cecilia Preciado Burciaga,
associate dean of Graduate Studies and Research at Stanford
University, asserted that high tech ''uses and spits us out, but
doesn't retrain." Burciaga suggested that communities should
insist on a continual updating of education, coupled wtih extensive planning, from high tech industry locating in the area.
At an evening banquet, Anthony R. Perez, special projects
manager at Portland's Fujitsu Microelectronics, gave an evening
address, emphasizing that the development of skills, knowledge,
and a disciplined mind are required for a person to enter the high
tech sector of industry.
Much to the chagrin of the audience, Perez stated that society
is divided into segments, and if a person wants to fit into a particular segment, he/she has to play by the rules of that segment.
He also noted problems caused by a person's complex make-up,
and the need to understand barriers in order to overcome problems.

The Bhagwan: Oregon's Big One

IrmsherPie
How the TORCH has gone
this long without a Bhagwan
article is beyond my comprehension. During the nine
years I've lived in Oregon, I
can recall no personality who
has provided the press with
anywhere near as many column inches. And there's no
end in sight.
Let's face it, our Bhagwan
makes ideal news copy. (Yes,
he is ours. People all over the
world know where Oregon is
now -- people who never even
heard of this fine state when
rain, trees, and the bottle bill
were our main claims to
fame.) Sunyassin City provides news copy, jam-packed
with color, intrigue, big

money, fast cars, free love, the
take-over of a town and an
ever changing cast of
thousands. There's enough
material already to provide TV
scriptwriters with five years of
plots for a new nighttime
soap. Something like:
"Bhagwan -- Oregon's Big
One.'' Or '' Red meets Plaid
Flannel" Or more simply,
"Seeing Red" or "Scarlet
Sage.''
I first got wind of the guru
about seven or eight years ago.
A good friend of mine (let's
call her Lulu) told me that the
receptionist where she worked
(let's call her Liz) had taken
vows in some strange new cult.
How was she different, I
wanted to know. What had·
Liz vowed to do? Near as Lulu
could tell, all Liz had to do
was wear orange all the time,
along with a likmess of the
guru on a necklace, and make
love a lot.
Lulu's analysis was that the
cult was peculiar, but
harmless, and she said Liz
seemed much happier than she
had been. I wondered if she
had to wear orange
·underwear, or if just a few stit-

ches of orange thread on each
garment would suffice. And I
felt smugly immune to the
wiles of this guru, orange being one of my least favorite
colors.
Time passed, the guru set up
shop in. Antelope, and the rest
is history in the making. But I
still haven't figured out if he's
harmless or not.
My doubts are growing, but
I've still got a soft spot in my
head for the Bhagwan. I like
his Santa Claus face peering
out from under an unassuming
stocking cap. I appreciated his
silence. Hoped it would catch
on. Just imagine the effects of
a silence fad. But that's
another story. And I wished
humans were sufficiently
evolved to make love
whenever and to whomever
they chose, as I understood
him to espouse, without it
causing the widespread social
chaos I have seen ensue from
such experiments.
More time passed. Rhetoric
from the red city grew increasingly strident and abrasive,
and concern for the rights and
feelings of the original inhabitants of the area scored

repeatedly in the minus zilch
range. Not one to unquestioningly accept the reality
presented by the media, I continued to believe the guru was
pure of heart, but totally out
of touch with the complexities
of the material world. This innocence, I surmised, left him
wide open to becoming the innocent Bhag-pawn of those
nasty-mouthed women.
His 90-odd Rolls Royces
could have fit. Perhaps one
could be very spiritual and just
have this one little quirk. Like
maybe some part of each car
spoke to him in some divine
way a_n d the combined
messages of all the cars was
greater than what was possible
from riding in just one Rolls.
It's ironic that immigration
officials have been trying to
throw him out of the country
for years and finally nabbed
him while he was trying to
leave.
I caught sight of Liz the
other day in The Kiva. No visible orange, and she seemed as
close to normal as she ever
was, but her shopping basket
was heaped with bottles of
vitamin C. Maybe Linus Pauling is our next guru.

TORCH Associate Editor

Center 480 was designed to
hold about 20 students, but it
was already overflowing when
International Cooperative
Work Experience (CWE)
Coordinator Peggy Marston
arrived, and people continued
to crowd into the little room
throughout the meeting last
Thursday, Oct. 31.
The crowd was interested in
exploring opportunities to
combine studies, work and
foreign travel through LCC's
International CWE, a program that, since 1981, has sent
39 students abroad to gain
work experience in different
cultures.
Marston said in a later interview that 30 students attended
the meeting, and 10 more contacted her later.. ''This is the
most interest students have
ever shown,'' she added.
During the meeting,
Marston explained the difference between CWE and
other "study abroad" programs. "This program offers

Stephen Leonetti at the
Koinonia Center on 1414 Kincaid, across from the U of 0.

The Celebration of the Holy
Eucharist (another name for
the Lord's Supper) is followed
mersion -- you're actually liv- .
ing and working with the people -- as opposed to living and
studying in a university with
other Americans."
The International CWE offers placements in countries
throughout the world, from
Finland to Jamaica, with a
wide variety of job opportunities. A student's experience will depend on the
country chosen, and requirements differ from country to country. Interest, job
experience, language proficiency, personality and age
can all be factors in the determination of a student's ability
to function in a certain program.
There is also variance in the
kinds and amounts of job opportunities offered. Most
European countries offer jobs
in a variety of different fields
from food services, to banking, theatre, forestry, and
much more. Whereas Barbados offers only one job:
teaching/recreation with handicapped teenagers.
But, whatever a student's
interests, Marston said he or
she isn't immediately sent
abroad. ''This isn't just a fun
experience," she added. For
example, students participating in the program
prepare for the experience by
attending an orientation class
the term before departure,
work hard while abroad, and
are required to write a 10-15
page paper about the experience upon their return.
Marston said this is an

If you've ever gone through
being a new employee, you
know you get nervous, tense,
apprehensive, worried, and
maybe even a little scared.
You work extra hard to learn

hard work saps all your energy
reserves. And for up to a
month, new employees often
collapse the minute they get
home!
Think about each of your
four or five classes. Each one
is like a new part-time job of
sorts. Each has its own time
slot and you have to be on
time. Each has a new "boss"
with different expectations
and you have to learn to do
things the way each new boss
wants it done. Each has a little
different system of evaluation
(tests) and that means you
have to learn to study a little
differently.
You're learning a new
jargon for each subject, and
grasping new concepts which
you must fit in with what you

already know. You're competing wit.Ii · co-workers
(classmates) as well as with
yourself to get the job done.
And you're worried about
your salary (grades) all the
time, just like any new
employee would be.
But unlike the new
employee, you can't collapse
when you get home. You have
homework for each of your
new "jobs."
So no wonder you're beat!
You've taken on a bunch of
little part-time jobs! Also,
you're feeling what most of us .
feel just about this time in the
term. It's exhausting, but it's
normal.
And there is hope.
Remember, you're half-way
through. From here on in you
can start thinking like the
folks getting ready for retirement do. Only instead of retiring from just one job, you'll
retire from a whole gaggle of
'em!
Of course, you'll have to
start a whole gaggle of 'em
again in January ... but that's
next year.
(If you d like to have Annabanana answer YOUR question, submit it to The TORCH

If you'd like to give Annabanana a bad time about the

ASLCC sponsors visit by El Salvadoran student leaders

by Ann Van Camp

TORCH Feature Writer

While many LCC students
are beginning to grumble and
struggle under the pressures
of the term's half-way mark,
students in other parts of the
world are struggling under
another sort of pressure. In El
Salvador, for instance,
students are struggling to
rebuild their university so they
can get the higher education
they want so badly.
The ASLCC is sponsoring a
visit by two El Salvadoran Student leaders so that LCC
students can "get a glimpse of
the struggles going on,'' says

Cindy Weeldreyer, ASLCC
Communications Director.
Rufino Antonio Quezada,
President of the General
Association of Salvadoran
University Students (AGEUS),
is a 29 year old agronomy student at the University of El
Salvador. He has represented
AGEUS at solidarity events in
Guatemala in 1982 and 1984
and in Costa Rica in 1985, and
has been the President of
AGEUS for one year.
Jose Rodolfo Rosales, Vice
President of AGEUS, is 26
and is a fourth year medical
student at the University of El
Salvador. He was arrested in

1980 during a wave of severe
repressfon because of his student organizing. He was held
in Mariona Prison for two
years. In 1982 he returned to
the University and began to
work with AGEUS.
According to Weeldreyer,
the two student leaders will be
talking about student life in El
Salvador and the struggles
they've been going through to
rebuild the University. They
will be answering questions
and LCC students are encouraged to attend.

FOOD FOR
THOUGHT
Submitted by Loretta Plaa, R.D.
LCC Nutrition Instructor

How often do you hear about the woman who falls down the
stairs and breaks her hip?
In most cases what actually happens is her weakened pelvic
bone can't bear the uneven weight distribution caused by going
downstairs and her hip breaks. She then falls.
It happens because of Osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis causes a gradual loss of bone mass. It takes
years. Postmenopausal and small petite women are the most
susceptible, but the condition gets its start with the calcium intake (or the lack of it) between the ages of 25 and 45. By the time
the symptoms begin to appear, the process of bone depletion has
been going on for a long time.
Women tend to be more susceptible than men for several
reasons.
• First of all, women get less calcuim in their diets than men
because they eat less. Or to say it another way, because they eat
less, they don't have the extra clacium to add to their bones.
During the years between 25 and 45 the bones continue to get
heavier even though growth has stopped. This increase of mass
requires an adequate intake of calcium. Then, after age 45,
bones begin to lose about 1 percent of their mass per year.
• Second, lower estrogen in women after menopause increases
this yearly loss to about 2 percent per year for about five to 10
years.
It should become clear that low calcium intake up through the
forties means less bone to start out with when the periods of
bone loss begin.
But fortunately, the medical community assures us that the
risk of this disease can be reduced and even prevented if we include lots of calcium-rich foods in our diet.
Whoever you are, if you think your calcium intake is low, today is the day to start adding more to your diet.
Next week, Food for Thought will look at men's risk of
osteoporosis. The following week will offer suggestions on how
to increase your intake of calcium before it's too late.

The TORCH N·<>ve·:rtjher 8, 1985· Page 5

Textbook outages outrage some, frustrate others
by Ann Van Camp
TORCH Feature Writer

Val Brown, a second year
graphic arts major, is enrolled
in an Art History class but she
can't get a textbook. "We're
supposed to read about the
history and religion of India.
We're trying to relate the art
we've seen with what we're
supposed to have read.''
According to Brown, the instructor, Lisa Morrisette, has
helped the class by putting
several books of similar content on reserve in the library.
She's even xeroxed pages out
of her own copy of the text to
hand out in class.
"But we've got a test next
Thursday. I guess we're just
gonna hope and pray she
doesn't ask too much from the
book,'' says Brown.
Brown believes class attendance has been affected. "It's
been sporadic,'' she says; '' ...
fewer students are there now.''
And as for buying the book
when it comes in, Brown says,
''Will it be worthwhile for us
to buy the book in November
when we've already struggled
through October?'' So in the
end, the bookstore may end up
with a surplus.
- Textbook shortages and
outages, while not the norm,

are a source of frustration to
students and instructors alike.
Art Tegger, a Writing 121
instructor, says students were
unable to get textbooks for
several of his classes as late as
the third week of school.
'' Students were frustrated.
I was frustrated.'' says Tegger. He resorted to reading
from the text in class, "and
that's a waste," he fumes. "I
fail to understand how a
sophisticated bookordering
system such as LCC's can be
so far off so often!"
LCC Bookstore Manager
Georgia Henrickson is sympathetic with both the
students' and the intructors'
Jllights. But she says many factors must be considered when
textbooks are ordered.
• Part of the process involves individual departments.
''Even though fall term book
orders were due by mid-June,
we were still getting orders the
week before classes started,''
says Henrickson.
And the Language Arts
Department is one of the most
complicated departments for
which to order, according to
Henrickson.
"But I understand why,"
she says. "It's partly because
they have to review hundreds

of books . . . to make a decision. We get their orders . . .
as they make a selection.''
Then the bookstore has to
have time to make estimates
using formulas based on past
history.

• Students on class waiting
lists add another sort of dilemma. ''They buy the book, then
maybe they don't get into the
class after all. Meanwhile,
they're holding a textbook someone else needs.''

• The past history judgments
are another factor. She says
certain
instructors
''traditionally'' over-order.
Eventually, that sort of inform a ti on makes up "past
history guidelines" and textbook orders are tailored accordingly.

• And some students buy
books early, then don't take
that class. And some students
actually buy textbooks when
they don't have the class,
"because it looks like good
reading."

• The used textbook
buyback program plays a part
too. The bookstore personnel
must figure in the used books
they will buy back from
students , before ordering. But
"we're often ordering before
the end of the term,'' says
Henrickson. ''We can only
estimate what we'll buy back,
and sometimes we get real surprised!''
• Henrickson says another
factor is the enrollment process. Departments set enrollment limits but frequently
readjust them upward to meet
increased demands. Students
may get into the classes, but
have to wait for textbooks.

Whatever the reasons,
books that were carefully
ordered aren't on the shelves.

Henri~kson say~ they don't
over-order textbooks because
the costs to return left-overs
has become unreasonable over
the years. So the goal is to
break even, or to have only
one or two books left over.
Henrickson admits the process has its flaws. ''What it
boils down to is that it's mostly a guess. And I don't know
anyone who has a crystal ball
to be able to guess right more
than 80 to 90 percent of the
time."
The Bookstore Advisory
Committee, a 10-member ad
hoc committee, is trying to improve the odds. In a meeting

between parents which are in
the best interests of their
children.
Public support for father's
rights, historically, has not
been very strong. "No one
seems to want to get involved
in this issue,'' says Anderson.
He believes that child custody
decisions are often in conflict
with the U.S. Constitution
because the rights of all parties
are not considered equally.
''The only ones who benefit
from the current situation are
power hungry custodial
parents and attorneys," he
states.
Anderson and Ronald
Logan, statewide coordinator
for the Oregon Coalition for
Custody Reform, encourage
people to promote awareness
of this crisis. They suggest that

concerned individuals encourage legislation that emphasizes mediation rather than
litigation.
"It's not fair to ask judges
to make sociological decisions
in child custody cases. They
are legal experts. But for now
that's the best thing we've
got,'' says Anderson.
He concluded that, ''the
biggest myth in our culture today is that men are not interested in child raising.''

other things, the textbook

Language Arts Department
Chairman Jack Powell.
Powell feels their meeting last
n:ionth wa~ very productive.
Powell says that in the past
he has made enrollment
judgments which were in the
best interests of the students
and instructors, but may not
have taken into consideration
the bookstore's position.
''Our department does present
.. a unique problem because of
the diversity of instructors for
the same course. Many of
•them use different texts."
But between his judgments,
the bookstore's judgements,
and an honest 10-book error,
the shortage for the Writing
121 courses amounted to 27
books -- almost enough for an
entire section.
Powell suggests more
responsibility for book ordering could fall on the department heads. "I'd like to take
more responsibility for those
classes where I know we
should order fewer books. I
should do that, not the
bookstore. I know more about
those classes than the
bookstore does."

Stati on -sets goal
of $45, 000
for radio thon
by Sue Thompson
for the TORCH

Due to declining financial
support from the federal
government, KLCC has a
higher, $45,000 goal for its
Fall Radiothon, which begins
Nov. 8 at 7:30 p.m. and will
continue until the goal is met.
The bi-annual fundraisers
solicit donations from listeners
and underwriters for a total of
42 percent of the station's
budget; the college supplies
nearly 39 percent; and federal
agencies grant 19 percent.

Blue Plat e Spec ial host

Though KLCC's budget is
one of the smallest in the
country for a public radio station, the station is the most
powerful public broadcasting
station in the state. Its 86,000
watts reach one of the largest
community radio audiences in
the country, says Jon
Schwartz , KLCC general
manager.
In addition to musical offerings of jazz, folk and other
styles, the station's success is
based on its news coverage.
"KLCC has the best news in
this area of the state," taking
up 30 percent of its airtime,
boasts Schwartz. And news
isn't cheap to come by.

Another factor for success,
according to Schwartz, is the
volunteers, and the five fulltime staff members who run
the station. Being a community station, KLCC offers
voluntee rs valuable experience, especially in news
preparation, and in return the
community "brings a broad
expertise" that would be
otherwise untapped , says
Schwartz.
"It's the most expensive
kind of radio,'' explains
Schwartz, considering the
costs for the Associated Press
teletype service, a satellite connection, news service subscription fees, personnel costs,
equipment maintenance, and
other costs incurrred in updating information.
During the November fundraiser the station needs
volunteers to answer phones
and perform other support
functions. Interested people
can donate time or money by
calling Development Director
Paula Chan Gallagher at
726-2224.
At press time, the station
had received over $7,000 in
renewal memberships, leaving
less than $38,000 to be raised
from on-air appeals.

savors KLCC
by Hilary Anthony
TORCH Staff Writer

The KLCC news department takes volunteers with
writing talent, and turns out
people skilled in radio news
production, according to Alan
Siporin. He knows. He has
been through the process.
As a student at LCC three
years ago, Siporin began
volunteering at KLCC. Now
he hosts the Blue Plate
Special, KLCC's noon news
show, and some of his features
have been aired nationwide on
National Public Radio.
Following a two week trip to
Nicaragu a this summer,
Siporin produced an eight part
special about that war torn
country.
KLCC news offers opportunities for ''in-dept h
analysis ,'' accordin g to
Siporin. After deciding he
wanted to learn radio journalism, he chose KLCC
because "I could do
something that I felt had some
impact and some meaning
rather than fluff,'' he says. He
hosts a weekly call-in show
which gives listeners an opportunity to share opinions on an
announced topic.
Alan learned the technical
aspects of radio and reporting
through hands-on experience.

'' I think that my natural
abilities were more in writing,
talking and finding out the
facts of matters. What I learned here was a little bit of style
differenc e, but mostly
technical stuff, in terms of
operating the equipment, and
learning a different art form. I
had been writing short stories
up until then. I found it was a
simpler kind of writing for
radio, but I was also mixing
sounds, both other people's
voices and background sounds
to take other people to a scene.
That was fun; I enjoyed it.''
Another change Alan had to
make was to go from the
perspective of an activist to
that of a neutral reporter. In
doing so, he has come to appreciate the importance of accuracy as well as balance. "If
someone wins a landslide election, you don't present a 50-50
balance after the fact. Before
the election certainly, but
afterwards, in reporting the
outcome, it is not a 50-50
equation. Accuracy should not
take a back seat to balance."
Last summer, Alan spent a
month working in the
Washington, D. C., offices of
National Public Radio. For
two weeks he was the acting
Sports Editor; the remainder
of the time he was a news -

Operations and Music Director Mich2

writer for All Things Considered, the evening news
show. Comparing that office
experience with his time in
Nicaragua, Alan says that he
has discoveredthat if he could
do whatever he wanted, he

would be in the field -- perhaps
in Angola or the Mideast. "I
like being in the war zone,
essentially. I am not sure why,
but I do. I would like to do
more of that.''
For now, Alan is staying at

KLCC. He finds satisfactions
here, too. Like working with
volunteers who have raw
talent and a desire to work in
radio. "It is a real pleasure to
work with people who want to
be in this business."

KLCC now devotes more time to news than any other
public radio station in Oregon. "I think Eugene, more than
a lot of places in the United States, is interested in national
news. People here are a little more alert, a little more
concerned about international events," says Jon Schwartz,
KLCC's station manager.
New schedule changes emphasize news even more, and
this week's radiothon will test ;the popularity of the
changes. Schwartz says it will take months for the station
to determine if the changes were the right ones.
Commercial radio stations no longer have requirements
for a minimum amount of news, and because news
production is expensive, many commercial stations now
devote little time to news.
Early in this decade, KLCC received a federal grant to
increase its power to 30,000 watts, put in three translators,
and install quality studio equipment. Since that time,
wattage has been upped to 86,000 and two more new
translators have come into use. Translators rebroadcast the
KLCC signal into Florence, Newport, Lincoln City,
Cottage Grove, Bend, and Oakridge. Chief Engineer Steve
Barton has the monumental task of overseeing this
technical system.
In the newly revised schedule, News and Public Affairs
Director Don Hein co-hosts a half hour local news show
with Andrea de Leon. Local, in this case, refers to the
broadcast area. With local news as a priority, KLCC is now
able to cover local public events, such as the recent income
tax debate. Schwartz reflects, ''The listeners are clearly
people who are involved with their community and pay
attention to KLCC . . . they were right on top of that
event. I thought it was really well done.''
Additionally, KLCC has picked up two news shows.
"Weekend Edition," produced by National Public Radio,
is a Saturday morning news show. And ''The Christian
Science Monitor'' newspaper has expanded into radio with
MONITORADIO, heard weekdays at 5:30 p.m.
"Often public radio gets slammed for being liberal. One
thing you can say about Monitor is that they are real
objective.'' With a strong emphasis on international news,
MONITORADIO provides coverage unavailable to local
listeners from other radio stations.
"We talked a lot about news, but our music is still twothirds of what we do,'' Schwartz emphasizes, and lists the
styles of music KLCC offers to prove his point -- jazz,
folk, reggae, blues, R & B, electronic, and women's music.
Schwartz hosts a jazz show himself, and like the many
volunteers who do the same, it's a labor of love.
Operations and Music Director Michael Canning was a
KLCC volunteer for years before joining the staff in 1983.
With only five full-time staff members, KLCC meets the
minimum requirements to be considered a corporation in
public broadcasting, thus qualifying for grants. Although in
the lowest budget category for public radio, KLCC rates
high in terms of audience impact. Schwartz estimates that
each week KLCC reaches as many people as go through
LCC in a year -- about 30,000 listeners.
And it's the volunteers who makes this operation
possible. At any one time the station has 70 volunteers.
Currently the station has six part-time employees who also
volunteer some time, as well, in music, news or production.
Dozens of KLCC volunteers have pursued careers in
broadcast media, after their initial experiences at KLCC.
Additional volunteers are recruited during the semiannual radiothons. KLCC supporters are needed to answer
the phones and the volunteers who work on the air donate
extra time, working in pairs.
Development Director Paula Chan Gallagher says, ''We
tell them (DJs) that we know it is hard to ask for money,
but at the same time the station is so good. The energy
level is great during the radiothon."

Gesner, Nicholas hope to lead Titans to victory
by Michael Spilman

TORCH Sports Writer

Merry Gesner and Diana
Nicholas have been two of
LCC's strongest cross country
runners this year.
''They've been the stabilizing factors" of the team, says
Lyndell Wilken, coach of the
Women's Cross Country
team. Both are returning
sophomores and captains of
the team, along with Ann
Macklin.
Today, Nov. 8, is the day of
the Northwest Championships
in Oregon City.
"I think we have a really
good chance, "says Nicholas,
''If we all stick together and
come through."
Nicholas, from Montana,
first ran for LCC's track team
last spring -term, and during
the summer she maintained a

30 to 35 mile base. A ''base'' is
the consistent number of miles
run each week by a runner for
keeping in adequate shape.
''They've been a real inspiration to the rest of the program," said Coach Wilken.
"Really, I attribute their success to being very good about
the summer program.''
Both Diana Nicholas and
Merry Gesner have been very
valuable to the team,- says
Coach Wilkens. "They take
pressures off the coach by
organizing warmuns.. "°\',1
downs, and team meet~~~~6.. ,
notes Wilken.
''They're very directed and
goal oriented because they
know what they want to be -what they want to do,'' says
Wilken. So "they kind of pull
everybody in.''
Merry Gesner is attending

LCC for the third year in a
row. She took on her first fulltime load at LCC -last spring
term, and also began running
on the track team. In the near
future she plans to get a
bachelor of science degree at
the U of O and then transfer to
Oregon State University to
earn a doctorate of
veterinarian medicine.
Gesner is also a free-lance
court reporter and does
deposition work by appointment. When she becomes a
veterinarian she wants to start
her own practice.
So she began to jog. Then
she entered road races and
"gradually got better."

USFL to stay~ in Portland

Simonds has the right stuff

by Darren Foss

TORCH Sports Editor

Good news and bad news concerning pro football in Portland
transpired during the United States Football League's (USFL)
owners' meeting in Memphis, Tenn. last weekend, Nov. 1-2.
First the bad news. Last season's USFL franchise in Portland,
the Breakers, are broke, and it appears Portland will be the
team's final resting spot as it died of financial difficulties.
The Breakers were a charter member of the spring football
league when it started in 1983 with 12 teams, but couldn't find a
home. In their three seasons the team played in three different
cities (Boston, New Orleans, and Portland), as the league's
nomads.
The Breakers owner, Joe Canizaro, a New Orleans real estate
investor, felt Portland would become the teams permanent
home, and in a way he was right. The team was warmly welcomed about this time last year -- Nov. 13 to be exact -- by fans·
hungry for a pro football team to support. But now, a year later,
there are no Breakers to be found.
However, the city of Portland can't be blamed for the teams
failure. Fans from Portland and all over Oregon strongly supported the Breakers, even though the team had only a 6-12
record. The team averaged 19,919 fans per game -- the best
average attendence in the USFL's Western Conference.
Instead, it was poor financial management and failure to pay
its players for the final four games of the season -- a total of over
$1.2 million -- which killed the Breakers. This forced the team to
waive all its players while the coaching staff bought out the rest
of their own contracts. This includes Head Coach Dick Coury
who coached the team all three years of its existence, and will
mourn the team's loss.
This left a skeleton team, held together by only the front office staff of owner, Canizaro, and General Manager Jack
Galmeche as they entered the USFL's owners' meeting in Memphis looking for help.
But don't despair. It's more like out with the old and in with
the new. The Breakers have left Portland widowed, but the city
will not be without a USFL team when the league resumes play
•in the 1986 fall season. In fact you might say Portland has
:,duck Gold.
The USFL owners' decided last season to switch to a traditional fall football season and go head-to-head with the National
Football League (NFL). The Denver Gold, and owner Doug
Spedding, were forced to find a new home so they wouldn't be
competing with the strong Denver Broncos of the NFL. Spedding had three cities in mind for his team -- Charltooe, NC;
Honolulu, and Portland -- and when it came time to make the
decision, the only realistic choice was ·Portland. The fans proved
last season, with their support of the Breakers, that they could
support a pro football team.
The Gold is coached by Darrel "Mouse" Davis, the former
coach of the Portland State University (PSU) football team, so
his return to the Rose City was also a key in the decision. Davis'
return -- with his high powered run-and-shoot offensive scheme
-- should bring in big crowds, as Portland hopes to have
recruited a winning franchise this time.
The nickname, the Gold, probably will be changed when the
team moves to Portland, but until then Portland has struck gold
with a second chance at a USFL franchise, giving the city
something to look forward to in the Fall of 1986.

meets, he was the first Titan to
cross the finish line.
"He's got a body that's
built to race,'' says LCC Cross
Country Coach Harland
Yriarte, and "he's become a
lot more focused."
Simonds was born in
Portland, Oregon, and was
raised in Saint Helens, OR
where he attended St. Helens
High School. As a freshman,
Simonds played as a wide
receiver for the football team.
But ''the only thing I could do
is run laps. So I decided to go
out for cross country,"says
Simonds.
He ran on the track team
during his freshman year and
the cross country team in his
sophomore year. But Simonds
has also experienced pain.

Overall, Moniz and May hit
the set all the way around,
playing every position. Both
players set a team record for
kill percentage in one match as
they converted 5 of 8 attempts
for 63 percent.
Lane now returns to league
play and faces the LinnBenton Roadrunners again today, Nov. 8, in Albany. Then
on Saturday, Nov. 9, travels
up to Portland to take on the
Mt. Hood Saints who are
leading the league with an
undefeated 7-0 record.
This next week will be a
"make it or break it" week for
the Titans. They currently are
in last place (seventh) in the
NWAACC Region IV standings, but are only one game
out of the fourth and final
playoff spot.

causes severe pain and swelling.
But Simonds has long since
been back in action. He is
finishing his second year of
cross country competition in

this, his third year at Lane.
Coach Yriarte was a major
influence in Simonds' decision
to attend LCC.
After
Simonds took 11th place in the
Oregon AA Cross Country
Championships in his
sophomore year at St. Helens .
High, Yriarte sent him a letter
asking him to think about
coming to Lane.

"It's rare that you get as
good a coach as Yriarte in a
community college,'' says
Simonds, who took a break
from competitive cross country running last year. He says
that he's glad he took the rest,
but he missed the running.
"He's v.ery creative," says·
Yriarte, who says he enjoys his
. ,sense of humor. Yriarte compares the quality of his runn3 ing to a "Porsche ignition
~ ·system.''
.....
~
Simonds plans to major in
» secondary education and
~ become an English teacher and
running coach.
As far as the Northwest
Championships today, in
Oregon City, Seth speculates
that the Titans will be one of
the top two teams in the meet.
'' As long as the whole team
runs like they've been running," he says.

were two conferences -- an official UN conference and a
''non-governmental world
meeting for woman." There
were also workshops, as well
as a film festi val.
According to Gordon,
10,000 to 15,000 women attended, from all parts of the
world, and approximately 50
percent were from South
Africa.
Gordon went to the conference expecting nicely typed
copies of papers, a well
organized agenda, and opportunities for people to ask
"very polite questions" about
her research. What she encountered was quite different.
The workshops were set up
as forums, to air women's problems .at work and home, and
while "some workshops were
very organized, with a high
level of sophistication, others
were very disorganized,''
Gordon says.
The average workshop had
a turnout of over 200, with
seating for 150. And "other

said,'' says Gordon.
In spite of all that, she
doesn't think it was a total
waste. "Some level of communication was reached there,
and it brought a lot of
understanding out between the
people,'' she adds.
The purpose of the conference was to update and inform women on the daily
realities of each other's lives.
In India, women have been
hard at worked weeding out
laws which discriminate
against women. While women
are now legally equal to men,
the political status has not
changed, says Gordon.
"Justice is costly, and in India, women who are capable
of handling the legal system,
although untrained as lawyers,
will take an advocate position
and help other women" in
cases of rape or wife battering,
Gordon reported.
In Africa, men migrate to
the cities while women remain
on the farms with double the
workload. "The economic
gain of the male does not compensate for his absence,''
Gordon asserts.

Eight children per family is
the average, and with the men
gone, the women make bricks
and raise pigs for the market,
in an attempt to feed the
numerous mouths. When the
women do sell their goods,
they often wait months to see
their money, says Gordon.
"Sometimes, When the men
disappear into the urban situation, they don't come back.
And it is sometimes better if
they don't, because all they do
is leave one more child with
the women,'' each time they
return home for a visit,
Gordon asserts.
On the streets, these women
are raped or molested if they
don't veil their faces when
passing a male. For the
children, a basic education is a
luxury. School fees are anproximately 200 shillings (16
Kenya shillings equal 1
American dollar), but for
most families, that is out of
the question, says Gordon.
"The (African) women asked what . . . advice we could
give to alleviate the situation.
These women have so little,
but there is so much strength
there. They may not have the .
. . economic means, or the
sources, but they have the
drive," Gordon asserts.
"People were angry, and a
lot of the anger was directed at
America," Gordon says.
"They see America as
perpetuating this situation.
They are holding the US
Government responsible for
world peace.'' She claims
America could alleviate much
of this suffering by shifting its
resources away from military
aid and using them to alleviate
situations that, instead, help ·
to diminish world hung~r.
At one point during the
workshops, a young woman
asked Gordon about nuclear
war. "My most hurtful moment -- my only hurtful moment at the conference -- was
when I had. to explain what
nuclear war was,'' says
Gordon.

could be more responsible for
their left-over texts. ''The
bookstore could bill the
departments for the left-overs.
It would be better than having
to wait for the re-orders."
Powell sums up the problem
