Teachers improve themselves
by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Staff Writer

Many LCC instructors
have voluntarily sought help
in improving their teaching
skills through an innovative
teacher-run
program
available on campus. And
the popular program is
spreading to other campuses.
The Teaching Improvement Process (TIP) is a
system of peer tutoring. With
the purpose of identifying
and improving teaching
skills, this confidential consultation process is used only
for teachers' professional
development, not as an
evaluative tool for administrators.
Participation in the process
is voluntary and takes one

term to complete. During the
term, a "teaching consultant" uses interviews,
classroom observations, student evaluations, selfevaluations, video-tapes,
and analysis of course
materials to help the "faculty
client" come to a better
understanding of his or her
teaching techniques.
The process involves a oneon-one pairing of teacher and
TIP consultant -- a teacher
who has already undergone
the TIP system and is now
ready to help improve his or
her peers.
The consultant's role is to
act as a mirror and assist the
client in generating alternative teaching strategies for
consideration. John Kocher,
an instructor of social
science, along with John
Loughlin and J<?yce Fish, instructors of mathematics, are

current Teaching Consultants.
The college first got involved with TIP in 1981. "There
was a flyer in 1981 that
advertised the TIP program,
so John Loughlin and Nita
Bunnell went to the
workshop back east,'' .says
Fish. When they returned,
they brought TIP back with
them.
But the program had to be
modified for LCC' s use so
that it would work within the
quarter system, Fish notes.
Fish sees the process as
'' an excellent opportunity for
personal growth." She went
through the process with
Nita Bunnell during the 1983
Winter Term. Then, when an
opening was available, she
got involved as a teaching
consultant. She's been doing
it for two years, she says,

Facts found - contract still missing
by Lisa Zimmerman

TORCH Associate Editor

LCC faculty voted, Thursday, Jan. 30, on recomendations
to resolve major contract issues which have brought negotiations between the LCC Education Association (LCC Faculty)
and the college to a standstill.
Representatives from the LCCEA and the college met with
state factfinder, Howell Lankford, Jan. 14, in an "expediated
factfinding hearing.'' During the hearing, college and faculty
presented Lankford with facts on major contract issues which
include employment status, workload, professional development, and salary.
Lankford formulated his report from these presentations,
and presented it to both the college and faculty Monday, Jan.
27.
According to Steve John, LCCEA representative, if both the
faculty and the college accept this report, these issues will be
settled. However, factfinders' reports have never been accepted by both in the past, and there is no indication
that Lankford' s report will be different.
Although John described his feelings about the report as
''optimistic,'' in Thursday's meeting •of the LCCEA, the
report evoked mixed responses from the faculty. And LCC
Employee Relations Director Hank Douda said Monday, Jan.
27, that his first analysis of the report seemed to show that
Lankford "thought the college should spend more money
than the Board (of Education) does."
But according to John, even if the report is rejected, as in
the/ast, it should still provide a good basis for a contract.
Sai John, "Agreement has always come very soon after
these hearings.''
Accepted or rejected, this report covers only the most con- ,
troversial issues between the college and faculty. Once an
agreement is reached-on these issues, there are still seven
more. These involve: tuition waivers for dependents, insurance benefits, leave without pay, publications and inventions, grievance procedures, and calendar (the number of
teaching days).
Both John and Douda agree, however, that once the issues
in the factfinder' s report are resolved, the others should
follow without major complications.

Oregonians to vote on marijuana law
by Tom Ruggiero

TORCH Staff Writer

The Oregon Marijuana
Initiative (OMI) will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot,
according to Secretary of
State Barbara Roberts.
If passed by Oregon
voters, the measure would
allow adults 18 years or
older to grow and possess
marijuana in private for
their personal consumption.
Sale of marijuana would
remain illegal. Use in
public, use by minors, and
driving under the influence would also remain
illegal. Currently, it is a
class A felony to grow

marijuana, punishable by
20 years in prison.
According to John Sajo,
director of OMI, petitioners began collecting
signatures in July of 1985
and turned in 87,056 to the
state elections division on
Nov. 1, four months later.
Even though Oregon
law requires only 62,521
valid signatures by July 4,
1986 to qualify for the
November, 1986 ballot,
OMI submitted the
signatures early to take advantage of a new law, SB
882. The law allows initiative groups to submit
additional signatures if the
secretary of state determines that too many

previously collected
signatures are invalid.
Qualifyng for the ballot
in November culminates
four years of intensive effort by backers of the
legalization organization
(OMI) who spent over
$30,000
collecting
signatures, says Gregory
Mihalik, OMI treasurer.
This ballot measure will
be the first time since 1972
that a state has voted on
the marijuana issue and
according to Kevin Zeese,
director of the National
Organization for the
Reform of Marijuana
Laws, the Oregon vote
will have far-reaching national significance.

Grousing re King Day, Shuttle Tragedy, Sheep

by Karen lrmsher

Gramm-Rudman Amendment will hack out even more.
The hype backfired.

TORCH Editor

I'm glad our country finally got around to celebrating the
life of Martin Luther King, Jr.
But I'm disappointed in our school's response to the day
-- three hours of displays, refreshments and information
tucked away in the tiny Multi-Cultural Center Jan. 20, and
a film on his life Jan. 23. It was a good start, but for what
this man has given our country, it just wasn't enough.
Without much more effort, what went on in the out-ofthe way Multi-Cultural Center could have taken place in a
more visible location -- for instance, the cafeteria or the
Center Building Main Lobby. And at least some of it could
have lasted all day.
I wonder if the lack of enthusiasm for this day was attributable to the low percentage of blacks on campus, combined with a misperception that King's contributions
primarily benefitted black. Or was it just a reflection of a
more general campus apathy toward anything unrelated to
daily concerns? Or could it have been simple lack of adequate foresight and planning?
I don't know, but I hope LCC does a better job next year.

Now for something completely irrelevant and pointless.
I was in a sheep barn on the OSU campus in Corvallis
Sunday, on the off chance that a lamb would choose to be
born while I watched.
The long smelly barn had obviously provided birthing
space to several decades of Iambs. It was segmented into
three sections, each one holding about 25 bulging, scruffy
ewes-in-waiting.
Some were breathing rapidly, punctuating the pregnant
air with body-warmed clouds of steam. Mostly they were
just sitting on dirty straw, chewing their cuds. Occasionally one would stand and pee, or another would rearrange
her body, trying to find a more comfortable position. Or
even more rarely one would emit a baa for no apparent
reason, eliciting a few scattered baa' s in response.
They looked bored, but I got the impression boredom
was nothing new for them. I also got the feeling they
didn't know what they were waiting for.
Maybe I would have forgotten the sheep by now if it
.
weren't for the song.
Mounted on a post in the center of the barn was a small,
cheap AM radio, volume up, belting out golden oldies.
More than one song must have played while I watched and
waited, but the one that has so irretrievably etched this
scene in my mind was ''Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover.''
While the ewes chewed their cuds, and rearranged their
miserable bodies they were receiving the following fast
tempoed advice: Just hop on the bus, Gus, don't need to
discuss much. Make a new plan, Stan. Set yourself free.
It was obviously wasted on them. But·now I'm stuck
with this ridiculous mental image for the rest of my life.

I mourn the loss of lives in the recent space shuttle accident. I've heard it said that this tragedy is having the
greatest impact on the nation's children of any event since
President Kennedy's assassination.
Maybe I'm just being cynical, but I find the whole incident highly symbolic of the priority level of education to
the Reagan Administration.
I saw this whole "teacher in space" number as hype to
distract educators, and the public, from the fact that
federal support for education has dropped dramatically
since Reagan took office. The budget cuts mandated by the

TORCH Staff Writer

Students who enjoy travel
and challenge, may be interested in Hie exchange program LCC has with a college
in Isahaya, Japan.
Nagasaki Wesleyan Junior
College (NWJC) is on the
island of Kyushu. It has a
mostly female student body
of about 225, and offers majors in English language and
Japanese culture. About twothirds of credit earned is
transferrable.
NWJC provides the student with a room, tuition,
and a scholarship of $600 for
travel in Japan. LCC
Counselor Mason Davis says
the arrangement is similar for
students coming here from
Japan, witn both needing to
pay about $2,500 minimum
per year for personal expenses, plus plane fare.
Davis says interested
students don't need previous
background in Japanese
language, although it would
be useful. LCC offers classes
in Conversational Japanese,
and Japanese Culture and
History. Applications for the
1986-87 school year are due
March 31. Information and
applications are available at
Davis' office in the Center
Building, room 221.

cepted as this year's exchange student to LCC. By
the time she returns, _her
studies will be completed,
and she plans to get a job
with an airline, working at a
ticket counter. She says,
''My dream is to work in
Hawaii, or other places in the
United States."
NWJC is about 1,000 miles
from Asahikawa, but
because Yamashita wanted
to come to the United States
to study English she decided
to attend that college. The
school offers majors in
English language and
Japanese culture, along with
such courses as music,
education,
physical
- calligraphy, flower arrangement, and tea ceremony.
Exchange students from
NWJC are placed in schools
in nine American cities, as
well as Thailand, China, and
the Phillipines.
For Yamashita, the
language barrier has been the
most difficult part of adjusting to American life. And
she notes some physical differences between Japanese
people and Americans. She
was very su~prised that
"Americans have fat," as
she put it, and that ''guys
have beards. Most .Japanese
guys don't have beards or
moustaches," she says.
Many American foods are
available in Japan, according
to Yamashita, and her
favorite foods here are
cheeseburgers, and macaroni
and cheese. She "hates
soups and avocado," and
says pizza is just ''so-so.''
Pat and Gordon Potter and
their two sons are hosting
Yamashita this term. Pat Potter works as a Service
Associate in the Career Information Center at LCC.
Fall Term, Yamashita

Good
sport
Dear Annabanana,
I have three quick, related questions for your column.
First, why do most women not like sports? Second, how
can I get my girlfriend more interested in sports? And
last, is it cool to take a woman to a sporting event on a
date?
Signed,
My Girl Doesn't Care
Dear M.G.D.C.
First, most women do like sports!
Wrestling, for instance, is one of the most invigorating
sports women know! They wrestle with what to wear each
day, what to fix for dinner, and what to say to the next lug
who wants to wrestle at the drive in!
. You've ask~d h?w to get your girlfriend more interested
11:1 sports. I thmk first of all you need to single out some particular sport~, and not attack the whole category in general.
And you rmght make some compromises. If she agrees to
ac~ompany you to Saturday's basketball game, then you
rmght agree to accompany her to Sue's Tupperware party
next Tuesday. After all, if she's willing to show some interest in how to properly dribble a basketball, maybe you
could show some interest in how to properly burp a Tupperware seal.
If compromises don't get her more interested in sports
then try ~ointing out how sexy all the players look in thehsweat-stamed tank tops. This, of course, could lead to a
real change in her interests, including how interested she is
in you!
And your last question is the easiest of all to answer: of
course it's cool to take a woman to a sporting event on a
date. There's nothing more intimate than listening to yelling from all sides while sitting under the romantic green
tinge of flourescent or mercury vapor lighting. And what
woman can resist being wined and dined with Pepsi and
popcorn? I would say you have all the ingredients for a real
cool date!
There are women who do enjoy sports; but it might be
easier to find one than create one! If you're a sports nut,
then look for a gal who's just as nutty as you are about all
the gam~s ~01;1 like. And if your woman isn't into sports,
and ~he 1sn t mterested in learning about sports, and she
won t go to sports events with you ... then maybe you've
got less in common with one another than the relationship
can stand.
There is one last sport you could try -- walking. It might
d_o yo? both some good; it might also get you out of a bad
situation.

What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of using carob over chocolate?
Carob powder is made by grinding the fruit pod of an
evergreen tree that grows mainly in the Mediterranean
region. Before grinding the pod into carob powder, the seeds
are removed to be processed into carob gum (known also as
locust bean gum), which is used as a thickening additive in
products such as yogurt.
Carob powder and cocoa (chocolate with some of the fat
removed) are similar in calories. However, carob contains no
stimulants, while cocoa and chocolate have a small amount of
caffeine in addition to the potent stimulant theobromine,
which is similar to caffeine in its effects.
The lowfat advantage of carob is often negated when
manufacturers make it into ''health food'' candy. Some carob
chips and candy bars have more fat and sugar than standard
chocolate bars because the fat is often palm oil, a fat even
more saturated than cocoa butter.

TORCH Staff Writer

Well-known jazz/fussion
guitarist and LCC faculty
member, Don Latarski this
month released a new single
entitled ''Private Affair.''
It's a "departure from old
to new,'' says Latarski, in
that it includes singing. Produced by DoLa Disques, its
vocal-based side B, "Poor
Man,'' features Portlander
Calvin Walker as lead
vocalist, with the Linn
Sisters, also of Portland, on
back-up vocals for both cuts.
The single is supported by
the concurrent release of a
feature-length video similarly entitled "Private Affair,"·
Latarski' s first major video
effort. Produced by Brown
Beauty Productions, the
video, according to information in its promotional
packet, is shot _primarily on
location at the historic
Oregon Electric Station. The
fantasy centers on the experience of a traveling jazz
musician temporarily stranded in a small town.
Latarski's focus on his new
single and video is primarily
what he refers to as a "grass
roots effort" to attract a major recording contract by
marketing a '' quality product
at a reasonable price.'' His
diverse talents enable him to
play most of the musical
parts himself, manage the
recording and mixing, and
publish through his own
record publishing company,
DoLa Disques. As he puts it,
'' the key to economic survival and prosperity in a city
like Eugene is to be diverse ..
. to do many things to the
best of ·your ability.''
Diversity isn't new to
Latarski. From his beginnings on a small rural farm in
Southern Michigan, to his
current studio-home in West
Eugene, Latarski has been
widely influenced by B.B.
King, Wes Montgomery,
Howlin Wolf, Rolling Stones,
Beatles, Jeff Beck and Eric
Clapton. He enjoys the constant search for '' the common

Intram ural Dept.~
events are a success
by Steve Chapman
Beat Reporter

Last week the Intramural
Department sponsored a
Bow ling Tournament at
Emerald Lanes on Friday,
Jan. 24. The event was well
represented by LCC staff and
students with 10, 3 person
teams participating in this
blind handicap event.
Staff winners were the
Gutter Runners consisting of
Sue Thompson, and Gary
and Marilyn Rholl who com• piled a handicap average of
594 for the first game, the
game which was selected to
figure the handicap. The
overall winning team was the
Hoyas who had a 628 handicap average. Close behind
was the Leave it to Beavers
with a 626 handicap average.
The defending champions,
the Pin Heads finished a distant fifth with a 594 handicap
average while the TORCHers
finished sixth at 581.
Because of the great success of the Bowling Tournament, another one will be
planned sometime in
February. The February
Tournament will have a new
format for the teams and
handicapping.
Then on Monday, Jan. 27,
the Intramural Department
sponsored a ''Monday
Madness Fun Run" which
turned out to be a great success. There were 15 participants, consisting of LCC

SPOR TS

staff and students, which ran
a 2 mile course. Each participant had to predict their time
and then it was compared to
their actual time. The person
closest to their predicted time
won their division.
It was a Bernham sweep
among LCC staff members
with John Bernham winning
the men's division, coming
within 12 seconds of his
predicted time (14:12 compared to 14:00), and Peggy
Bernham winning the
women's division coming
within two seconds of her
predicted time (18: 02 to
18:00).
Among LCC students,
Philip Sheridan won the
men's division coming
within 19 seconds of his
predicted time (12:46 to
13:05). T. Richardson won
the women's division coming within 22 seconds of her
predicted time (24:38 to
25: 00). Another fun run will
be held on February 14, the
"Cupid's Chase Relays,"
with the same format for
determining prize winners.
A flag football tournament,
winter golf tournament, ·
"Spring has Sprung" run,
and a power lifting tournament are other activities
planned for Winter term. For

TORCH Sports Editor

Sophomore Eric Laakso, a
5' 10" point-guard out of
Aloha High (Aloha, Ore.) is
provi~ing strong leadership
as captain of this year's
Men's Basketball team. "
"He's our quarterback and
our leader; he makes a lot of
things happen. He has the
experience of being with us
two years and knows my
philosophy and system,''
comments LCC' s Head
Basketball Coach Dale Bates.
"He's running om show
for us, scoring in doublefigures, is one of our best
defensive play~rs and is doing a fine job," says Bates.
Laakso has been playing
basketball for eight to ten
years, but didn't come initially to play basketball.
"I came to Lane on a soccer
scholarship and played soccer last year, and walked onto the basketball team. Then
they dropped soccer and
since Bates has a good
basketball program going
here. I decided to stay
around and play this year

somewhere else after this
season and play basketball,''
explains Laakso.
Laakso is currently a
Business Management major
at Lane, but is still up in the
air about what he wants to
do and may change his major.
This season got off to a

Titan Men still in first after two road wins
by Darren Foss

TORCH Sports Editor

The Titans' Men's Basketball team upped their
NWAACC Southern Division league-leading record to
7-1 after victories over the
Linn-Benton Roadrunners
and Umpqua Timbermen on
the road last week.
Back on Wednesday, Jan.
22, the Titans traveled to
Albany to square off against
the Roadrunners and cruised
to an easy, 88-63 victory.
Once again it was strong,
aggressive defense that won
the game for Lane, especially
in the first half. The Titans'
offense doubled LBCC' s in
the first half scoring 48 points
while holding the Roadrunners to only 23.
"We're playing real solid
defense now, with a lot of intensity. We basically took
them out of the game. On offense we got our running
game going and executed
well. It was a good road win
for us, we got to play a lot of
people," commented Titans'
Head Coach Dale Bates.
Ron Tilley led Lane's
balanced offensive attack ,
playing his best game of the
season, scoring 16 points and
pulling down 8 rebounds.

Jerome Johnson followed
closely behind with 15
points; Eric Laakso collected

sive first half with Lane clinging to a slim three point advantage, 30-27, at the break.

Women's
team loses
to Umpqua
by Steve Chapman

TORCH Sports Writer

The LCC women's basketball team lost a close league
game last week, bringing its
record to 1-6 in league play
and 8-11 overall.
On Saturday night, Jan. 25,
in Roseburg, the Titans were
able to shoot a little better
than previous games, but
still fell short of Umpqua
Community College, 58-52.
LCC rallied late in the second half to pull within two,
with the help of Nicki
Essman, who led Lane with
20 points, and Sheri Keith
who added 16.
It was not enough,
however to take the control
out of the hot hand of Daley
Thompson, who poured in
23 points for UCC.
Coach Loos expressed
hope that his team would be
able to pull out of its
shooting slump in time for
Western Oregon State's •JV
team on Saturday, Feb. 1, at
Monmouth. The Titans
return home against
Clackamas CC on Feb. 5 at 6

Deadlines for scho"/arship applications
loom on the horizon

by Ann Van Camp

TORCH Feature Editor

Filing deadlines for next
years' scholarships are just
around the corner, even
though September may seem
like a long war off. For instance, the U o O's deadline
for filing is Feb. 14, just two
weeks away.
According to LCC Financial Aid Advisor Dorothy
Nutting, there aren't as
many scholarships available
as in the past. But some
scholarship money is
available, and students
should start thinking about
putting together their applications now if they hope
to use scholarship money
next fall.
For scholarship information, the Financial Aid
Department is a good place
to start. Nutting says the
department has a file of
grants and scholarships
available to students, and
students are welcome to
xerox €1,ny of the information.
She adds that another important resource is the
department office of the student's major.
"We get most of the
scholarship information
here, says Nutting, "and
it's kept on file here. We
send copies to the various
departments on campus, but
the departments many times
get notices that we don't.''
She says new scholarship information is often printed in
the TORCH Omnium section, too.
Another resource is the

Library. Several volumes are
purchased by the library each
year, and at least six
reference books are available
which contain specific information on scholarships,
grants, and loans. Students
should inquire at the
Reference Desk if they need
help finding the volumes.
Students should also consider contacting the four-year
colleges or universities they
want to attend in the fall. The
U of O 's deadline for filing is
Feb. 14. Students should call
the U of O Office of Student
Financial Aid for more information.
Nutting warns students to
be cautious of some
resources. Last spring, (April
25, 1985) The TORCH
printed an article warning
students to be careful about
ordering scholarship information from mail-order
facilities. The TORCH
discovered that one company
in Los Angeles was charging
$55 to provide a single page
containing two testimonials
and a list of scholarship
choices. At that time, Nutting stated such offers were
the type of thing students
should avoid in their search
for untapped money:: "The
offer sounds good, but it's
got a hitch -- $55 hitch.
There's no hitch to the
LCC method of finding out
about scholarship money,
though. There are, however,
deadlines to consider. Nutting says students should
pay particular care to how
they fill out the applications.
"Follow the instructions.
Make sure the application is
filled out neatly, completely,
and accurately.''
The following is a partial
list of money available, and
students should contact
either Financial Aid or the
appropriate department.

'' Our main purpose is to
address all the issues, concerns and needs of night
students," says Bob Wolfe,
the committee secretary of
the Evening Program Advisory Committee (EPAC II).
EPAC II hopes to emulate
the success of EPAC I -which was active between
1971-78 -- in pressuring for
more evening services and
classes for night students.
Wolfe alleges two opposing points-of-view exist in
the college administration:
l)"There are few students
out here at night, so why
have a large evening program?" or, 2)"if the college
offers more services, then
more people would attend,
and this would increase the
number of full-timeenrollment (FTE) students.
EPAC II obviously embraces the latter opinion and
focuses its attention on
upgrading evening services.
fl

• EPAC II recommends that
LCC increase its number of
course offerings for night
students.
Lynn Richmond, LCC's
evening/weekend college administrator, hopes LCC will
guarantee that current night
courses continue.
At present, says Richmond, LCC offers only five
complete transfer programs
to night students, and they
are not guaranteed: Business
(for both U of O and OSU),
Sociology, Journalism and
Economics (all for U of O).
But Richmond says LCC
is currently considermg a five
year pian, beginning in
1986-87, that would provide
night students the opportunity to enroll in every
course required for 30
transfer programs, certificates and degrees.
• EPAC II member Sharon
Biser wrote a letter in June of
1985 to then-acting President
Gerald Rasmussen, asserting
that the college discriminates
against night students by offering a lower quality of services at night.
Evening students, she
noted, pay the same tuition

and fees that daytime
students pay but receive
the
fewer services
Bookstore, the Financial Aid
Office and the Women's
Center all closed at 5 p.m.
EP AC II notes that
Freeman Rowe, an LCC
science instructor, also wrote
a letter to Lynn Richmond
last October. Rowe alleged
that the absence of evening
__services had had a negative
effect on some of his night
students. For example, the
Snack Bar closed at 6 p. m.,
leaving night students to get
their coffee and snacks from
vending machines. And he
noted that a person who attempts to register at night
must do so with an impersonal drop-box outside the
office door.
Some Success
EPAC II notes that LCC
has made some changes for
the better before the committee finished organizing itself:
The Bookstore was open unMondaytil 7:30 p.m.,
Thursday, during the first
two weeks of Winter Term (5
p.m. for the remainder of the
term.)
was
Registration
open until 7 p.m. on Dec. 19,
Jan. 2, 6 and 7 for Winter
Term registration. The Stu• dent Resource Center is open
from 4 to 8:50 p.m., Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursdays.
And the LCC Snack Bar is
open this term until 8:30
p.m., Monday-Thursday, on
a one-term trial basis.
The student advocate
group encourages students
to offer suggestions regarding LCC' s evening program. Written ideas may be
submitted to the '' opinion
box'' in the SRC, across from
the Bookstore, 2nd floor
Center Building. Committee
members Wolfe, Biser,
Chairman Bill Dickinson,
Student Resource Director
Martin Lewis, Jack Randall,
and Sandra Mattson are also
interested in talking to
students with ideas.
EPAC II could also use the
help of volunteers to gather
information, take polls,
receive student/ staff requests
and distribute information to
night students.
