Dick Nice of the Goshen Fire Department says this particular fire was caused by an electrical transformer in the basement. However, no one has determined whether other transformers on campus may be similarly hazardous. The defective part was probably destroyed by the fire. Darrell Allyn, HV AC operator at LCC, says that the fire safety rating for the other school buildings is very good, considering the number and variety of activities on campus. When potential fire hazards arise on campus, they are corrected immediately, and safety is a prime consideration when any room is remodeled. "Sprinkler heads are being added almost constantly," notes Allyn. Campus Security, Campus Services and the electricians all conduct periodic inspec- the blaze, Allyn says he and his co-workers "got right in there with fire extinguishers, and then got the fire department on the way. We could put out the fire, but we couldn't keep it out, because it kept smoldering. The coil way down in the transformer kept reigniting.'' Before the - Goshen Fire Department could extinguish the blaze, smoke was vented to the building's first and second floors through ducts the from leading transformer's basement site. Electronics lab equipment was coated with smokey, sticky carbon dust, as were some of the building's offices and classrooms. And the damaged transformer needed repairs, as well. Campus Services, says LCC contracted with several different firms to clean the building, its fixtures, and the carbon-clogged lab equipment. The total cost of cleaning and repair was an estimated $25,000, Colvin says, and beyond the college's $1,000 deductible, the cost will be borne by LCC' s insurance. It took a period of three weeks to get everything cleaned up and repaired, according to Colvin. Richard Turner, the college's president, wrote both Dick Nice, the chief of the Goshen Fire Department, c;1.nd LCC' s Darrell Allyn, to thank them for their quick actions in containing and controlling the fire . . . .'' tions of the fire alarms, extinguishers and sprinklers. The state fire inspector also conducts monthly examinations. In addition to the alarms. extinguishers, and "ionization detectors" are in place in the Center Building, the Data Processing Dept. and the archives vault in the Administration Building. The pull-fire alarms on campus do not automatically alert the fire department because of the frequency of false alarms. Notices placed near most of the pull-fire alarms recommend the following actions in case of a fire during school hours: • Activate the fire alarm. • Call the campus switch board, and report that there is a fire, its exact location, you name, and what has been done so far. • Only attempt to extinguish the fire if it is prac. tical to do so. 11 _?.,-,, · ······························· ······························· ······························· •• Rate LCC's food service School cafeterias have traditionally been the target of complaints and criticism.

FOR ALL ASLCC computer controversy continues Dear Editor, ASLCC Con Computer I would like to respond to last issue's article, "ASLCC deliberates the value of computer purchase.'' Senator Randy Scovel says he is "working hard to persuade the three hold-backs of the nine member Senate," to spend $3,000 on a computer. As of right now there are 14 members on the Senate and there are at least 3 members of the six member cabinet who are not convinced. That, of course, is not counting Senators who are ''holding back.'' Secondly, Senator Scovel claims the computer will '' save the ASLCC between 12-16 hours a week in completing tasks now performed manually.'' One of the timesaving tasks he claims will be in "budget processing tasks." I am the ASLCC Treasurer and a computer will not benefit me directly because I already receive a computer print-out from the Administration. I am in the ASLCC offices between 5-8 hours daily and I know the day-to-day workings of the ASLCC offices as well as, or better, than any of the other members of • the student government. I cannot see how a computer will help save 12-16 hours a week. Thirdly, the brand of computer being researched has changed 2 or 3 times in the past few months. The cost of a computer, word processor, accessories, and maintenance could well run over $3,000. But last and most importantly, will the computer directly serve LCC students or will it just be a convenience for the student government, ASLCC? I, for one would like the ASLCC to take a look at updating the lounges and the furniture in them. We could even buy some new furniture which would serve students more directly and the students could see what they were getting for their $5 student fees. Sincerely, Robert Ward ASLCC Treasurer On receiving Rob Ward's letter, the TORCH asked Randy Scovel to submit a letter in favor of the the computer purchase. Neither saw the letter of the other. ASLCC Pro Computer Dear Editor. In 1983/84, the idea of a computer system in the student government offices was introduced to the ASLCC. After lengthy discussion ... the 1984/85 Senate formed a committee to investigate the merits of a computer for the ASLCC. It was a favorable report and recommended the purchase of a Macintosh 512K system. A motion was then made to '' start the bidding process" on the purchase of the Mac. The motion was worded this way because of a lack of available funds and the fact that the only available option was to capitalize the purchase over a two-year period. Elections, and the transition of a new Senate, prompted the ASLCC to postpone the purchase until the new fiscal year. ::%,,_------------------,.. f,.---·----·---·----- Irmsher P1·e We have, currently, $3,Q00 in our budget set aside for the purchase of a computer system. The questions that remain are: • Does a $3,000 purchase .. . serve the best interests of the students directly/indirectly? • Would $3,000 better serve the students elsewhere, or will a $3,000 investment in a computer help organize the Senate and make available more services to the students? QUESTION ONE: Yes, it can serve the students in two ways. Indirectly, it can free more than 18 hours a week in word processing, databasing information, graphics, and communications. Also, the ride-sharing, housing, and other services offered by the Student Resource Center could be managed by a computer. QUESTION TWO: In the short-term, the Senate could find a lot of ways to spend $3,000 and provide a temporary service. Looking at the long-term, however, a computer would provide a It w as just one of those fabulous things by Karen Irmsher TORCH Editor Vacation. The word conjures up v1s10ns of delightful potential -- of voyages to distant and mysterious lands, of sun-warmed skin and tall, icy drinks, of reunions with beloved relations and old friends . And maybe romance. At the very least, the word promises a respite from the work-a-day world. It's a time to do something different. And during the winter break, I did. I fell hopelessly in love with Pac-man. Our relationship began during the tense, emotionpacked final weeks of the. term. After handing in my final paper, it was a daily delight to be able, finally, to call my new friend on my home monitor as often as I wanted. For the first time we could be together till my left hand (which clutches the joystick so the right hand can manipulate it) cramped up and my eyes went blurry. It was a blissful time. I could play with him any time of the day or night. Occasionally we shared some time with my husband, son or unsuspecting friends who dropped by. But I found they grew bored with him long before I did. Mostly, it was just the Pac-man and me. I wished I could find a way to muffle the little melody that announces the start of each new encounter. Its recurring tune was a constant reminder to my family that I, who rarely even watch TV, had obviously slipped into some alternate reality. They became concerned about how much time I was spending with Pac-man, and since I didn't want to cause them undue stress or threaten their mental health, I resigned myself to shorter meetings when they were around. I reserved our marathon encounters for times when nobody else was home. Friends who didn't want to spend time with Packy and me as a couple, were interruptions, and telephone calls were catastrophic. My son didn' t show me till near the end of the vacation that by pushing the escape button I could temporarily freeze all the action. The phone inevitably rang during games which promised us (Packy and me) alltime high scores. My concentration was ruined, and as far as I knew, there was no way to stop the ugly monsters from coming after my little muncher. Nor did I wish to waste a precious second on anything but cleverly helping him to devour as many dots as p ossible, so together we could clear one screen and move on to the next. A woman wh o called one evening while my husband (who understands my need to have other relationships) and I were sharing some quality time with Packy, had the unnerving experience of being rapidly shunted back and forth between us two humans . (When one player's Pacman meets an untimely end -- and every end is, by nature, untimely -- that player's game disappears from the monitor and is quickly replaced by the second player's game. The second player must be instantly alert and ready to guide that sweet little munchmouth as it eats through mazes of point-giving dots while avoiding the treacherous monsters.) The woman went through four abortive conversations before my husband and I lost our final man, and my husband, the object of her call, could give her his uninterrupted attention. A long planned four-day trip to the coast threatened to cut into our budding relationship. The family tried to talk me out of taking my computer, but when it was time to go, there it was, carefully wrapped in a plastic tablecloth, sharing the backseat with the dog. Gloopers didn't seem to mind, except he prefers to sniff and slobber out of the windows on both sides of the car and one of them was blocked. Alas, the vacation is over now. Numb left hands and blurry eyes are but fond memories, and now there's barely time to squeeze in a few games between dinner and homework. There will be other vacations, I know, but for me and Pac-man, I suspect this one was the apogee of our relationship. To quote an old Frank Sinatra song, "It was too hot not to cool down." tool to aid in the planning of other services that can be offered by a computer. In the recent ratification of new officers and senators, the average amount of time that was offered by these people was 8 hours a week. In saving 18 hours a week with a computer, the Senate will gain 2.25 senators. This adds up to time serving you directly. I personally feel that any organization that feels a computer would not be of great benefit is living in the past. LCC is continually upgrading computer equipment and implementing new applications to serve us better. Shouldn't our student government do the same? Please, if you have any "input," feel free to take me aside to discuss any questions, or come by student government offices and leave a message. I'm here to serve you.

The TORCH January 10, 1986 Page 3 CA MP US ON Factfinding hearing to break loose barganing impasse by Lisa Zimmerman TORCH Associate Editor An accelerated factfinding hearing is set for Jan. 14 at LCC in a last attempt to break loose bargaining between LCCEA (LCC Education Association, the faculty union) and the college. Faculty at LCC haven't had a raise since July 1, 1984, and are overdue for a new contract, but the union and col1e g e bargainin g teams disagree about the reasons for the delay. Faculty representa tive, Steve John, says, in his opinion, the college simply hasn't been willing to bargain, and in fact, was "right on the edge of bad faith bargaining" when a decision was made to schedule a factfinding hearing. Employee Relations Director, Hank Douda, on the other hand, maintains that the college has been willing to discuss any issue placed on the bargaining table. Both sides are optimistic, however, that the Jan. 14 hearing will produce what previous negotiations have not: an agreement on which to base a new contract. Curren t price of LCC childcare The TORCH wishes to apologize for the error made in our Dec. 9, 1985 issue. The correct current price of LCC child care facilities is $120 a month for children 6 weeks to 3 years of age (for six hours a day, two days a week) and $60 a month for children 3 to 5 years of age (for six hours a day, two days a week). consider. Among these are: duration of the contract, status, employme nt workload, early retirement, and salary. College and faculty will present Langford with facts only, but no arguments for either side. Langford will have seven days (as opposed to the usual 30 ) to formulate his formal recommend ations for a new contract. LCCEA and the college will then have five days to accept or re- This '' expediated' ' factfinding process, which is shorter than the normal factfinding process by about one month, has only been used a few times previously in Oregon, says John. "The time factor is important right now,'' says Douda, "at this point it's in the interest of neither side to drag this out any longer."

Annabanana "Our -student government is financially self-supporting ministrative "Despite the additional two dollars," says Ward, "the TORCH Staff Writer for the first time in its 20-year history," reports Rob Ward, the ASLCC treasurer. Ward says the ASLCC receives its entire revenue this year through the $5 student fee paid each term by both part-time and full-time students. This year's student fee increase has propelled ASLCC's budget to $89,925 (up 14 percent from last year's $78,993). ASLCC Advisor Jay Jones explains that previous ASLCC budgets were subsidized by money from the college's General Fund -- which is derived from state reimbursement funds, local property taxes, and LCC student tuition. Last year, ASLCC's share of the college's $28,878,000 General Fund amounted to over $9,000. But due to overall college budget cuts, this year's general fund amount would have been $3,263. After hearing this projection, last year's student government proposed increasing the mandatory student fee by $2 to replace the lost revenue. The Board of Education accepted the senate's proposition and the LCC student body voted in the rate increase spring of 1985. Jones says that although tnis year's student government is self-supporting, it is still accountable to the college administration. Treasurer Ward says giving up its portion of the General Fund in trade for a $5 fee has one major benefit for student Due to family illness, Anna Banana will not appear in either this issue of the TORCH or the next.

And, Jones adds, "The ASLCC can now keep and maintain all the services and programs that students indicated were essential. 11 11 While planning for this year's budget, last year's ASLCC Budget Committee attempted to guard against inflation and a ''traditional shortfall'' in student services, according to Ellen Radcliffe, former Budget Committee chairperson. "We wanted to prepare a budget, says Radcliffe, "that would last a long time; more than a year or two.'' And, she says, that in previous years, money for Legal Services and travel was exhausted half-way through fall term. As a result, the total 1985-86 ASLCC budget rose 14 per- • cent, from $78,993 to $89,995. And according to ASLCC Treasurer Rob Ward, money for all the student services the ASLCC provides is up 25 percent.

Discipline and fun equals success for Titan women by Darren Foss by Michael Spilman TORCH Sports Editor (This is the second part of a three part series commemorating LCC's Titans 20th anniversary.) The LCC Titans is a great nickname, but what exactly is a Titan? According to Edith Hamilton's book, Mythology, titans were often called elder gods and were for untold ages supreme in the universe. They were of enormous size and incredible strength. There were many titans, but only a few appear in Greek mythology. The most important was Cronus, which we know better as Saturn in Latin, father of Zeus. Zeus dethrowned his father and became the chief titan over all the other Greek gods at Olympus. Websters Dictionary's definition of a titan is fairly similar, describing them as "any person of gigantic size, power or achievement.'' So Lane has a powerful nickname and mascot which we can feel proud of. I'm sure the committee took all this into consideration when selecting The Titans. There are many big achievers at LCC so the nickname is quite appropriate and I feel they made the right choice. I can think of no mascot more powerful. However, Debbie Dagget, one of the few original physical education instructors still at Lane when we became the Titans notes, "we did not have athletics originally, instead they came about as a normal outgrowth of those individuals who had special talents in physical education.'' At first Lane athletics was just intramural until the 1968-69 college year when the college joined the Oregon Community College's Athletic Association (OCCAA). The men competed in cross country, soccer, basketball, gymnastics, wrestling, tennis and track; while the women's sports were only on an extramurnl basis. So actually Lane had a nickname before it had a team to go with it. ''In our instance we really did select a great name from the standpoint of its Olympic connotation even though at the time we weren't planning to have an athletic program," explains Daggett. It also is nice that the Titan is a neutral name which both the men's and women's teams can be referred to. So when Title IX came alon_g (eliminating all discriminatory names and language from women's titles in the form of equality) Lane had no trouble with its nickname. Although in the early years of the college the women's teams were known as the Titanettes or Lady Titans. Today they only go by Titans like the men. ,.. The Titans' Women's Basketball team opened its league season, Saturday Jan. 4, against Umpqua CC and thoro~ghly lashed the Tirnberwomen, 85-48. During the holiday break the Titans ended their nonleague season with an 8-5 record. The Titans had a balanced scoring attack as six of Lane's players finished in double figures. Nicki Essman led the team with 15 points; Sheri Keith, Sue Schreiber and Christi Viltz each scored 14 points; Kari Hennon scored 13 while Trina Travess added 11. The high scoring and overall success of the Titans in the Umpqua game was a payoff for the hard work and extra effort which the team invested during the Christmas holidays, says Head Coach Dave Loos. According to Coach Loos, the Titan women practiced Sunday through Tuesday during the first week of vacation and held double practices on several days during the second week of the holidays. When Jan. 4 and Umpqua came around, the Titans were ready to play. Loos says that it was "the best game we've played so far,'' a game of revelation concerning the potential of the Titans. Loos says that his team is starting to "jell."
