The TORCH November 8, 1985 Page 1 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 Vol. 21, No. 7 Teahouse • coming · soon 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.

It goes something like this: When the bullets start whizzing by, and the sargeant tells you to duck, do not raise your head to ask why. • I was most pleased this week when students and staff responded so promptly and cooperatively to my requests that evacuations occur rapidly in response to bomb threats. People did not raise their heads to ask why; they first got themselves to safety and did so quickly and positively. bomb threat.

Turner, III President to ornithologists 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.

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.

The TORCH November 8, i985 ·Page 3 CAM PUS ON Minist ry offers services every Tuesda y evenin g · by Michael Spilman TORCH Staff Writer The Oregon Episcopal Ministry (OEM) invites LCC students and staff to unite with their U of O counterparts for services every Tuesday night. The 5:30 p.m. services are Learn and work abroad by Lisa Zimmerman 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 total language and cultural im- conducted by Associate Priest Stephen Leonetti at the Koinonia Center on 1414 Kincaid, across from the U of 0. Leonetti is also the rector (pastor) of Church of the Resurrection, Eugene. 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 "international education" in by a free meal and relaxed conversation. Students don't have to be Episcopalians to take part. "It's very easy ~o come in and feel comfortable,'' says Ann Kloeppel, OEM lay chaplain from St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Eugene. Moreover, says Kloeppel, participants for the TORCH Jeff Bell, a full time LCC freshman, is a student who recognizes the benefit of utilizing the Oregon Career Information System (OCIS) terminal. He believes it provides a good general overview of areas of work for future reference. ''I got interested in the forestry field through this system,'' he says. This special computer, located in the Career Information Center, has the capacity to serve 85 students a week. Current service is 60-70 students a week, so an appointment is essential. It takes about half an hour to fill out However, studies will focus on Advent -- observed by many Christians as a season of prayer and fasting, beginning before Sundays four Christmas -- which starts the first week of December. LCC Chaplain Rev. Penny Berktold, also from St. Mary's, is the ministry's link to LCC students. "Most of what we do," says Berktold, "is not (in) what we say -- it's just that we sit and listen ... and let people know that we care." Classes can cause collapse Dear Annabanana, I felt like I had lots of energy this summer, and I was fine when classes first started. But I feel more and more like a wilted daisy. What's happening to me? Sincerely, Completely Exhausted Dear Exhausted, Without knowing what the rest of your life is like, I'll guess. You have four or five classes. You have a living space to keep up (maybe even a whole house and a spouse and several kids!) And you may even have a part-time job which you started about the same time you started classes CWE or (work-study maybe?). Again, I'll guess your living situation hasn't changed much since summer. Maybe the schedules changed a bit, but the responsibilities didn't. The part-time job and the every sense, and the responses from students having participated in the program have been extremely positive. But deadlines are approaching fast, some as soon as Nov. 15, so students who have an interest in working ''while you immerse yourself in language and culture of another country,'' should contact Marston soon, in Cen. 431, ext. 2423.

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 all the ropes so you'll do well and keep the job. But the extra 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.

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.

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.

"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.

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 Santa Clara Square 1 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.'' last month the committee members discussed, among other things, the textbook shortage issue. Henrickson describes them as ''people who are genuinely concerned about working out the problems." One committee member is 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." See Book, page 11 THE BEANERY 2465 HILYARD FRESH ALLANN BROS.

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 Blue Plate Special host, Alan Siporin. 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."

"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." For more information about KLCC's on-air schedule, drop by KLCC, in the Forum building, and pick up a program guide. Page 8 November 8, 1985 The TORCH SPORT S 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.

The TORCH N ovemher 8, 1985 Page 9 SPORTS 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. by Michael Spilman TORCH Sports Writer Seth Simonds is consistently one of the strongest runners on the LCC Men's Cross Country team. In the Seth Simonds has become more focused. Willamette, Clackamas, and Region Four Invitational 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. When he was in eighth grade he came down with OsgoodSchlatter Disease. This is a partial separation of tendons within the knee joints which SPIKERS, from page 8 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. ~e, ~#e<.':J ~tcl~~~e~ 0~ 2)~}..~ -~~ ~o ~ e~~ \O<. 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.

ANO CAMERA CENTER :::LEME",T S COLORCHIIOME Kenya conjerence and film festival attracts women worldwide by Kelli J. Ray TORCH Staff Writer "When you plan for 6000, make exception for another 2000, and get another 7000, ther.. you certainly have a problem on your hands,'' says Monica Gordon. Gordon, a U of O sociology professor, shared experiences she had last July at the United Nations "Decade of Women" Conference in Nairobi, Kenya. She was speaker at the first of this year's noonhour Brown Bag Talks, held Oct. 31 in the LCC boardroom. "We had to be searched every day, several times a day," she added. Security guards going through everyone's pocketbooks looking for weapons held up the proceedings several fimes, Gordon says. From July 15 to 19, there Curtis IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMathes HOME ENTERTAINMENT CENTER Why Pay More to Rent a Movie? ... when Curtis Mathis has over 800 movie titles, and you can rent any two for $3.50 ... any day of the week! also ... V.C.R. Rental only $5.00 ... any day of the weekll Free Membership Santa Clara Square 461-2555 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 people wanted to talk as much as the speakers, so the speakers didn't get much 35mm t -- Su,.TJI - ~@O@CF Prints and Slides from the same roll Kodak MP film ...

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. r------------------INTRODUCTORY OFFER D Rush me two 20- exposure rolls of your leading KODAK MP film-Kodak 5247® (200 ASA).

Open 8-11 daily at 24th & Hilyard 343-9142 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.

''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 with: "each level needs to admit its own mistakes. That means the bookstore, the department heads, and the instructors.'' Then hopefully, says Powell, students will have the books they need when they need them.
