IsLCC
fire-safe?
by Brian Alvstad

TORCH Staff Writer

The recent Electronics
Building fire raises questions
about fire prevention and
s af e ty measures taken

Jan. lOr 1986
elsewhere on campus.
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

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.

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

more than 18 hours a week in
word processing, databasing

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.
Sincerely
Randy Scovel, Chairperson
ASLCC Computer

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."
Both sides have agreed to
narrow the issues the factfinder, Hal Langford, must

It will still be necessary to
negotiate other, less controversial issues even after an
agreement is reached on
these more important articles. But Douda and John
agree that once these main
issues are wrapped up, the
others should follow without
major complications.
It is John's "fond hope"
that approximate ly two more
meetings after the factfinding
process is completed, will
yield a new contract for the

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

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.
Information provided by Ward indicates major budget
increases in:
11

• Student Resource Center: Up 100 percent, from $500 to
$1,000
• Travel: Up 50 percent, from $2,000 to $3,000
• Club Promotions: Up 90 percent, from $800 to $1,500
• Capital Outlay: Up 150 percent, from $2,000 to $5,000
Because of the new $5 student fee, total ASLCC revenue
will approximate $89,925, up 16.5 percent from last year's
$77,107, Ward says.
As of Jan. 7, 1986, the ASLCC has received $49,936 in
operating funds, according to Ward.

SPORTS
What's in a name? 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."
