The TORCH February 21, 1986 Page 1 Workload, wages • • cause crisis by Michael Spilman TORCH Staff Writer Feb 21, ~986 VOL. 21, NO. 17 Students to suffer from $600,000 cut by Lisa Zimmerman TORCH Associate Editor Students at LCC, not staff, will suffer most from the $600,000 in budget cuts this year, • according to administration officials. Vice Presidents of Instruction, Student Services, and Administrative Services all claim that at this point, there are no involuntary staff reductions included in the cutbacks. Officials say the cuts will come from other sources, reducing the resources LCC offers its students. Jack Carter, vice president for Student Services says, at a time when every full-time student amounts to approximately $11,000 in state reimbursement money from the state, plus tuition. any loss is a big loss. Winter Term enrollment at LCC was down 34.9 FTE from this time last year. Carter says $55,000 will be cut from student services. The cuts will be made by not hiring part-time postions for Spring Term, and by delaying the purchase and updating of needed supplies. For example, the brochures in the Information Center in counseling will not be updated this term. Not every department of Student Services could handle an across the board percentage cut without cutting staff. So, says Carter, in order to avoid staff cuts, some departments were cut more or less than others. Bill Berry, vice president of Administrative Services echoes the denial that any staff will be involved in the reductions. "We've anticipated this. There's been a lot of turnover in the support side, and we've been careful about filling vacant positions," says Berry. In fact, he says, $71,000 of the $120,000 cut from Administrative Services comes from these vacated positions. Berry says the difference will be felt in the decreased support Administrative Services can offer. He says cuts have come from supplies for grounds, and vacant positions in financial services that now will not be filled. Gerald Rasmussen, vice-president for instruction, was unavailable for comment. But in a Board of Education meeting Wednesday, Feb. 12, Rasmussen also stressed that there would be no involuntary staff reductions this Spring. Like Administrative and Student Services, a substantial part of the $300,000 instruction deficit will be cut by reducing the number of pa~t-time teachers in line with the projected lower spring enrollment. TORCH writers win awards in L.A. by Kelli J. Ray and Karen Irmsher TORCH Staff Writer and TORCH Editor The TORCH walked away with two of the six top writing prizes at a student journalism conference held in Los Angeles last weekend. TORCH Feature Editor, Ann Van Camp was awarded first prize, while TORCH ly preceding the contest. The topic was ''Hands Across America,'' a new project from the U.S.A. for Africa group who last year raised $40,000 to alleviate hunger in Africa by producing the multi-celebrity hit single "We Are the World." See Awards, page 4 Editor-in-chief Karen Irmsher placed third in the Los Angeles Times On-site Writing Competition. Approximately 150 student editors from 45 colleges, writing with only pen and paper, sweated through the hand-cramping hour-and-ahalf long competition. Information for the articles was gathered from a fat press packet, and a 45-minute press conference immediate- The LCC faculty and college administration have come to a contract negotiations crisis in which faculty workload and wage agreement are the key issues on the table. The previous faculty contract expired June 30, and now, as of a Feb. 13 mediation session, the college and faculty are in a mediator-imposed suspension-of-bargaining mode because of disagreements over the wording in particular clauses in the contract. On Feb. 14, Dixie Maurer-Clemons, president of the faculty union, and Steve John, chairman of the LCC Education Association bargaining team, called a news conference to make public their dissatisfaction with the present situation. ''The biggest problem holding up agreement at this time is the workload issue," says John. The faculty union would like to see wording in the contract that limits the administration's power to unilaterally change workloads. The administration refuses to agree to a statement that sets a limit to each faculty person's workload. John says the faculty is "concerned that the president will raise workloads and thereby lay off faculty, injuring the quality of instruction'' at LCC, and use money saved to finance "his new projects, like a new 'super dean' of instruction." On the other hand, LCC's President Turner, in an interview with the Register Guard, said the administration is '' not going to make any serious, significant changes in workload." The LCC Faculty Union gathers to discuss a possible strike. Hank Douda, director of Employee Relations, says the college has had the same workload language for 12 years and that it hasn't caused many problems in the past. "We believe it's not bad language,'' says Douda. The wage agreement issue in the contract is the second hottest item on the bargaining burner. Independent fact-finde..-!r Howell Lankford has suggested salary recommendations for the next two contract years. The faculty has approved, but the college has not. Lankford suggested a 3.5 petcent increase in the faculty wage schedule, retroactive to last July 1, and an extra 1 percent increase, retroactive to Jan. 1, as reported in the Register Guard. According to Maurer-Clemons, "the fact-finder's first year salary proposal would cost the college about 5.4 percent." She says the administration considers this too high and asks See Faculty, page 10 Benefits reduced for vets by Karen Irmsher TORCH Editor Effective March 1, vets on the old GI bill (Chapter 34), and students receiving Dependents Educational Allowance (Chapter 35) will have their benefits reduced by 8.7 percent. This reduction will be reflected in the checks they receive at the beginning of April. According to Judi Strong, LCC' s veterans' specialist, "It's just because of the GrammRudman bill. The Veterans' Administration has been told to reduce their expenditures, and this is part of it.'' • Subsistence allowance payments to vets enrolled in Vocational Rehabilitation programs (Chapter 31) will also be cut 13.1 percent. However, says Strong, the V.A. will continue to . pay full tuition and supplies for this group. The cuts will not affect members of the Selective "Reserve (Chaoter 106) or vets getting benefits through the Veterans' Educational Assistance Program (Chapter 32). & In addition, new or returning students will no longer be able to request advance payments to cover books and tuition. In the past they could receive money in time for i:: ~ registration. Now they will have to wait 6 -8 weeks for reimbursement, says Strong. 0 At this time, the V.A. doesn't know whether notice will be sent to the effected individuals. They might get an insert with their checks, but they might not, says Strong. What can a person do about this? Not much, she says, but she recommends writing letters to Pres. Reagan and members of Congress anyway.

Febr'tlary' ·2 ·1~"1986' The TORCH FREE FOR ALL Shuttle's true purpose \ military Dear Editor, Flack of another kind than from the exploded space shuttle Challenger now rains down. Media bombard us about research's shuttle technological spinoffs ''innovations'' enriching our mundane lives. Polls hastily taken ensure us, yes -- the populace's majority "want the shuttle program continued" (regardless of: cost in tax dollars, the nation's safety nets, the deficit): yes, the eager public "largely unafraid'' would feel honored as passengers aboard future shuttle missions. "To Reach for the Stars" has an emotional ring dear to the ears of our histrionic government. (Less so, perhaps, for filmmaker George Lucas: his legally owned trademark -- "Star Wars" -- is federally-judged useable publicly, to now describe President Reagan's strategic Defense Initiative.) these Throughout propaganda-like slatherings, the one word describing the shuttle's true, primary purpose, is missing. That word? Military. Subverted to military use, shuttles have made at least four classified militarypayload missions -- and are cast by government to play key roles in Reagan's pie-inthe-sky Star Wars show. (Concurrently, scientific space exploration programs flounder in favor of military exploitation of space.) Does the 13-year-old Grants Pass girl (who believes U.S. space exploration programs should continue, and is busily fundraising among children to replace the space shuttle) know what she's abetting? And what percent her parents' income is taxallocated to the military? The bottom (missing) line causing governmental worry is not how many civilian passengers the space shuttles can carry -- but how great a military payload. "To ·the Stars," indeed. Kay Wells, Former LCC Student Space shuttle passengers "heroes" Dear Editor, Seven bright lights, we barely knew, no longer shine. Seven brave, brilliant, beautiful lives are gone in an instant blinding flash. A shocked world feels a rare collective sadness and mourns a new-found loss. The awe we felt with Alan Shephard and John Glenn, with Gus Grissom and Yuri Gagarin, with American astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts meeting in space, and with Neil Armstrong on the Moon has been all but replaced by technological ''business as usual." The human drama, almost forgotten, is once again on center stage. The awe has returned! For a few moments, we've shifted our focus from budget deficits and economic indicators, from mortgage payments and grocery bills, from hot wars and cold wars, from East-West impasse and Middle Eastern stalemate, to searching the stars for answers in the heavens and searching our hearts for answers here on Earth. This terrible accident will become a larger national and world tragedy if we retreat from our advances and our adventures. If we allow this event to deter our peaceful exploration of space, the subsequent discoveries of our new perceptions of Spaceship Earth, and ultimately the searching for new dimensions within our souls, then their sacrifice will be for naught and truly tragic. If we allow space to become a military reservation for East or West, to become a playground for generals, be they American or Soviet, rather than the province of scientists and teachers, jouracto , and nalists philosophers and engineers ----------------------------------- Irm sh er Pi -------------------------------------- 9'.,.::_:._::_ _ _r..,:__,_;,..,..;..z..;,.;_z..:,.;_,.._._._,.::_:..,:,..z._.z..,.z..:....z.....:...." e A . .......z..:..:..:.... ..:....z...rnz...,.:..:...._r_r_;_r,.v_ _,,..,..z..;..,:,..--7._,..., Soggy journalists find sunny skies elusive • by Karen Irmsher TORCH Editor It all began on a cold, rainy night six weeks ago Thursday, during our regular 2:30 p.m to 2:30 a.m. newspaper production marathon. While sifting through the drifts of paper that the winds of chance had deposited on my desk, I found a brochure describing a conference for college editors. Although sponsored by the Minneapolis-based Associated Collegiate Press, the annual national conference was taking place in sunny Los Angeles. A few weeks before, my associate editor, Lisa Zimmerman, and I had been disappointed when a conference of Oregon community college journalists had been cancelled due to snow. She was sitting with her back to me, diligently typing corrections into the typesetting terminal and I said to her back, ''Hey Lisa, want to go to a conference in L.A.?'' "Sure," she replied, not even bothering to turn, as her lightening-swift fingers continued their staccato dance across the keyboard. Due to a slight raise in advertising rates, the TORCH was in the unusual situation of having some extra money. (This was back in the good old days before Pres. Turner announced the $550,000 deficit and budget cuts.) By the end of the next day, before I could quite believe in the reality of the situation, we had plane tickets. It was a cold and rainy morning when we arrived in sunny southern Calif., and it got worse. They don't know much about waterproof there, or water safety. Ar·n Van Camp and I went to see a movie in a theater with a sc_een five stories high and 70 feet wide. Dark puddles in the pi dn front of the screen (where the massive speakers lay on the floor) were growing larger by the minute. "I ai1;i' t going down there!" the young theater usher announced loudly enough for the entire audience to hear, when it firsthecame clear to him what his boss expected him to do. and poets who share with humankind the wonders of their experiences and perceptions, then humanity will lose one of history's greatest opportunities. We can best honor welllived lives by living well ourselves and sharing opportunities for a better life with others. We can best honor fallen heroes by taking inspiration from their heroism and becoming heroes ourselves. Not everyone can be an astronaut, or cosmonaut, or a teacher in space. But opportunities for heroism abound in everyday life: in the classroom and in the courtroom; on stage or on the athletic field; in the the in and home marketplace; in City Hall and in Geneva; or helping someone next door or on the street who needs a helping hand. Let us not forget their sacrifice in our sadness. Let the sorrow in our hearts become a new-found courage! Let us dare to move forward! Let us dare to rise above mediocrity! Let us dare to become heroes! In Memorium, Denny Guehler KLCC Promotion Director Five minutes late,: he was down there with the puddles, the speakers, and the electrical wiring, sucking the puddles into a big shop vacuum. I hoped we weren't going to see a surprise electrocution. We didn't, though the presence of the massive screen of white behind him, the audience in front of him, and the classical flute music coming out of the speakers did inspire him to several brief bursts of ballerina imitations. Portions of theater seating had to be roped off due to leaks in the five-story-high ceiling. They also don't know about rain gear. The beautiful young woman seated near us, wore a drenched silky white dress, a perfect complement to her drenched long blond hair. She didn't even have a sweater or coat along, fearing, I assumed to ruin the effect she had hoped to ha.ve on her Valentine's Day sweetheart. I noticed her repeatedly assessing the damage, and finally accepting the offer of her sweetheart's coat, despite the fact that it ruined her outfit. I only had one pair of shoes along, and the sidewalks were flowing with a good two inches of water. So I removed my shoes for the return trip. California rain, I surmised, would be warm. It wasn't. My feet were devoid of all sensation but pain by the time we ran the two blocks back. The hotel doorman eyed me suspiciously when we entered, and Ann's umbrella, always well-behaved at home, had turned itself inside out, just like in the cartoons. The next day I noticed the hotel had a novel technique for watering the plants on the second floor lobby. The big planter had been pulled under an opened panel in the ceiling and was getting enough water to last it for weeks. Later, the plants were moved again, replaced by a 40-gallon trash barrel. A variety of other plastic buckets were sprinkled around other areas of the lobby as needed. The hotel was 11 stories high. _ And so it went. It was another cold and rainy morning when we left L.A. Also when,·in rapid succession, we arrived and left San Francisco, and when we landed in Eugene. Next year I'm going to recommend they hold the conference further south. Like maybe Puerto Vallarta or Guadalajara. _ foKCH EDITOR: K11ren Irmsher ASSOC/A TE EDITOR: Lis11 Zimmerm11n FEATURE EDITOR: Ann V11n C11mp SPORTS EDITOR: D11"en Foss PHOTO EDITOR: D11vid Stein ASSISTANT PHOTO EDITOR: Jeff Haun STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERS: Ann Van Camp, Glennis Pahlmann, Bob Wolfe, /RT, Dominique Sepser, Holly Finch STAFF WRITERS: Brian Alvstad, Kelli Ray, Michael Spilman, Tom Ruggiero, Lois Gr11mmon, James Thaxton, Steve Chapman PRODUCTION COORDINATOR: Val Brown PRODUCTION: Da"en Foss, Phyllis Mastin, Drew Newberry, Michael Spilman, Kim Buchan11n, Kelli Ray, Robin K11m, Tar11 Cross, Greg Williams DISTRIBUTION: Vince Ramirez, Michael Spilman, Ann Van Camp GRAPHIC ARTISTS: Val Brown, Sam Polv11do, Nik Skoog RECEPTIONIST: Judy Springer ADVERTISING ADVISOR: Jan Brown ADVERTISING ASSISTANT: Mark Zentner AD SALES: Kerri Huston PRODUCilON ADVISOR: Dorothy We11me NEWS AND EDITORIAL ADVISOR: Pete Peterson The TORCH is a student-managed newspaper published on Fridays, September through June.

The TORCH r~bruary ·21, 1986 ·Page 5 Michell Ronning (top) and Lisa Campbell (bottom) offer "wann, loving care" to the child charges, Jessamyn Fleming (left) and Rachel Vanderford (right). LCC students earn child care credits Child care students earn classroom credit by giving loving attention to babies at LCC' s Infant and Toddler Center (ITC). "We're here to fill their (infants and toddlers) basic needs," and to offer "warm loving care,'' says Louise Vanderford, lead care-giver at the ITC. Vanderford says that despite the tendency of children to feel fearful in a new environment, many children immediately feel relaxed when they visit the center for the first time with their parents. "We set up the environment to enhance their development and skills,'' she says, adding that the center aims to "upgrade" child care in the community, with an emphasis on "care," not on teaching. ''The ongoing trust we build with the infants is very important," she notes. She says LCC is not pro- viding the ITC with extra money to run the program, but that it was started with "a low bu~get, quality-used equipment, and donations," using Early Childhood Education funds. The two programs operate side-byside in the former Fox Hollow School building, in Eugene. Several features distinguish Lane's ITC program from similar services in the community, observes Vanderford. • The center employs three full-time, permanent staff people. Vanderford, and assistant care-givers Michell Ronning and Lisa Campbell. • The ITC requires that children remain at the facility at least four hours every day they attend. This gives the staff and the children time to get to know each other. • The ITC does not experience the teacher turnover rate of other child care programs in the community, remarks Vanderford. She says their pay is good, and the teachers are dedicated. ''You find more dedication in people who have the educational background," observes Vanderford, adding that all lab students are enrolled in the Early Childhood Education Program at LCC. She says the center is a lab school with a one-to-four teacher-student ratio. The ITC adheres to many guidelines to insure the offering of a quality program for child care intern students, says Vanderford, noting that the program is a model training school for adults who will later work in the community. Jessamyn Fleming enjoys a snack after playing up an appetite at LCC's Infant and Toddler Center. by MICHAEL SPILMAN photos by GLENNIS PAHLMANN "We don't just take anyone who's interested," she says. "Not everyone has the patience and the highenergy level it takes to be a • care-giver of young children." • The ITC care-givers endeavor to meet the individual needs and schedules of each infant and toddler. According to Vanderford, ali infants gq through the separation-anxiety phase, and she note~ that it's critical for a parent or caregiver to know how to meet the needs of a child suffering from separation. • The center is spacious, with separate areas for toys, rest areas, and furniture. The air is warm and the carpet is a soft orange-brown color that enhances the relaxed atmosphere. • The staff disinfects all toys and surface areas each day, and the diapering area after each use. They also sanitize the carpets with aerosol sprays. Sanitation is "very important because they (infants-toddlers) explore through mouthing objects," explains Vanderford. • The ITC has its own cook who plans and prepares the center's meals. Kids enjoy foods such as spaghetti, home-made soups, enchiladas, biscuits and fruit. The program serves 12 infants and toddlers on a daily basis, but Vanderford says they may expand that number to 16. The ITC is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., MondayFriday. It is located at 5055 Mahalo St. in Eugene. Phone 343-0122. Services are $2.50 an hour.

Does that mean I should eat lots of oil and margarine? Although the evidence is conflicting, there is a possibility that high intakes of polyunsturated fats (called PUFAS) can promote breast and colon cancer. Also, PUFAS are susceptible to oxidation by enzymes. Oxidized byproducts can damage cell membranes. In addition, there is some evidence that immune function can be diminished by diets excessive in PUFAS. The "Dietary Goals" for the United States advise that diets have no more than about 10 percent of calories c;oming from PUFAS. To find out what percentage you consume, record what you eat for a day, with accurate amounts, and bring the list to the Home Economics Department (Health 107), where I will run a computer analysis of nutrients and caloric content for you. If you're looking for ways to cut down on PUFA intake, try spreading less margarine on your toast, adding apple butter instead. And instead of margarine, put fruit and yogurt on pancakes and plain yogurt on baked potatoes. Cut in half the amount of oil-containing salad dressing you use. A little goes a long way. Keep in mind that for every tablespoon of oil or margarine you omit, you're subtracting about 100 calories. Booksto re able to special order by Stuart A. Maitlen Beat Reporter Besides having an ample selection of books and supplies in stock, the LCC Bookstore is able to special order many items for customers. "We've done it as long as I can remember, and we continue to do it about once a week,'' says Manager Georgia Henrickson. Even if the item is not available from their suppliers, often the store can make a referral to another likely source. Items need not be limited to books. In the past, the store has ordered special calculators, photographic papers, film, and class rings. "We'll try to get anything that's feasible to order," says Henrickson. But the bookstore requires a deposit for this service. One-of-a-kind items, such as ' personalized nursing pins, require a full price deposit, but on books, the store asks only $1-$5, depending upon the cost . This compares favorably to the 50-100 percent requested by other area bookstores, she says. In the event that an item cannot be acquired after all, the store makes a refund. LCC students are granted no special discounts on items by the bookstore, but at the same time, "people are charged no more than the list price, even though the process entails postage and individual attention.'' .

But when water is cooled, it contracts only until its SRC offers tax counse ling by David Renfro TORCH Staff Writer Free income ta·x counseling will be offered again this year by the Student Resource Center (SRC). Guy Lutz, volunteer tax consultant, will be available on the second floor of the Asbesto s no longer used by Del Mar M. Geary Beat Reporter Until a few years ago, when the dangers came to light, asbestos insulating materials were used in buildings and other products, such as hand held blow dryers. "Until last year, the Downtown Center of LCC did have corrugated asbestos material in the air distribution ducts. These have since been removed and replaced with a safer material,'' says Paul Colvin, director of campus services. Most of the victims of asbestosis have been shipyard workers, millers, and people involved in the manufacture of asbestos products. In 1983 The Environmental Protection Agency required that all schools be inspected to determine whether students were being exposed to friable asbestos, small microscopic particles of asbestos released into the air. Construction LCC' s Technology classes do not use any asbestos material in any of their projects. Ninetynine percent of the insulating products are made of fiberglass, and one percent is ''locked in,'' or encapsulated asbestos, according to Paul Colvin. When inhaled, asbestos causes a condition known as asbestosis, a scarring of the lungs which is sometimes fatal. Asbestos is also responsible for mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the chest or abdomen, according to Science Digest Magazine. Survey hails Smith Fam by David Renfro Beat Reporter Do you use the Smith Family Book store? That was the "SRC opinion box" question asked last week by the Student Resource Center, and of the 63 people answering the survey, 57 of them said they do.'' Some of the common reasons given were: Smith Family prices are cheaper and more reasonable; Smith Family has a better buy-back policy, and a better selection of used books. Martin Lewis, dirctor of the Student Resource Center, says the Smith Family survey has provoked the most response of any of the temperature reaches 39° F. (4° C). Water expands when it becomes colder than 39°F. As it freezes into ice, water expands and increases in volume by about oneeleventh. Expansion also makes ice lighter than water, which is why ice floats. Ice begins to melt when the surrounding atmosphere (or 7-Up) becomes warmer than 320f. The temperature of both the ice and the unfrozen water (or martini) remain at 32°F until all the ice melts. So, your ice cubes went into the drink displacing more space than they take up in their water form. And if you let them melt, they won't make enough fluid to overflow the rim. They'll also make your drink taste watered down! previous surveys. Lewis also says that students don't have to answer a survey question to express an opinion. The Suggestion Box is one way for students to communicate to the school. He explains that all of the opinions expressed are read at the student government meetings, then a copy of the survey results/opinions is given to the person, place, or department which it concerns. are responses All anonymous unless the writer wants to get more seriously involved by including his/her name and number with the response.

The service is not limited to LCC students and faculty, but is offered to the entire community. Off-road vehicles off limits LCC needy by Rick Estess Beat Reporter Although it's illegal to drive an off-road vehicle off the road on LCC property, tire tracks around the perimeter of LCC show that a few enthusiasts have been getting very close to campus property. And sometimes they wind up on it, according to Paul Chase, head of Campus Security. Chase surmises that it's because campus prqperty sometimes serves as a handy exit from adjacent roads and trails. ''We don't permit vehicles to operate on anything but defined road surfaces on campus," says Chase, "and that includes the areas immediately behind the school and running along Gonyea Road on the west side.'' Chase is particularly concerned with the protection of the wooded area at the south end of campus. That piece of land is, in effect, a ''classroom'' formally known as a "Forestry Technology Lab Environment," and contains sensitive lab projects and ongoing vegetation study subjects.

Ward is one of the few volunteers who keep LCC' s distribution of cheese and butter going. LCC is third largest distributor of 30 sites in Lane County. Approximately every six weeks, FOOD for Lane County, which distributes out of a federal warehouse, provides the food . When it receives a shipment, a FOOD representative contacts Ward and lets him know the final distributi . ., time . Then Ward posts dates and times on bulletin boards around the campus, and in local newspaper ads. Anyone in need of these products may receive them. The next distribution is set for late February. Page 6 February 21, 1986 The TORCH LCC-r etrain s disloc ated work ers by Michael Spilman TORCH Staff Writer Approximately 60-80 former employees of Pope & Talbot, Inc. (P&T) will enter the Dislocated Worker Program in the next six months, says Nan Poppe, head of the Training and Developm~nt Department (IDD) at LCC. "Ninety-percent of our people," says Poppe, confidently, "find a new job." She comments that people from Pope & Talbot seem to have a high level of energy. "I think we'll be equally successful with them," says Poppe, referring to the program's overall success rate since beginning in October of 1983. Last December, when the Pope & Talbot sawmill in Oakridge was forced to shut down due to financial losses, the closure put 471 P&T employees out of work. Fortunately, the DWP at LCC was ready to help. In November the federal government granted LCC's DWP an additional $675,000 to assist Lane County's dislocated wood products workers in retraining for other work. Grant money first goes to the Southern Willamette Private Industry Council, which then contracts it to LCC. On Dec. 20, soon after P&T shut down, the DWP held an orientation session. Consequently, says Poppe, the program is already working with 20 people from P&T. In the first two weeks, workers attend 80 hours of classroom instruction. ''We believe that looking for work is a full-time job," explains Poppe. And so it is. Dislocated workers look for work and improve their skills at LCC from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., five days a week. Beginning Jan. 20, the first two weeks of training were entitled ''Career Life Planning.'' The first week of training was conducted in Oakridge for three days and at LCC for two. The second week was entirely at LCC. Poppe claims the second week of instruction offers workers a chance to adjust to the LCC campus and become acquainted with its programs and services. LCC' s DWP is a free program that has received national recognition (ranked in the top 10 out of 300 DWPs in the U.S.) and served more than 700 workers in Lane County. The DWP provides practical services at no charge. For example, if a worker is hired, DWP will, in some cases, pay for half the employer's expenses in wages for the first month or two; thus employers may be more inclined to give a worker a chance. Furthermore, funds are used to assist workers in paying for relocation expenses and new clothes for job interviews. The program also subsidizes commuting expenses. And the list reads on: copying machines, local and longdistance calls to employers, resume assistance and counseling. What about emotional support? It's there too. Workers share experiences with other people in similar situations, hopefully making the experiences easier to cope with, states Poppe. Tzvi Lachman, job club instructor in LCC' s Training and Development Department, commenting on the P&Tworkers, says "They're a wonderful group of people."

The local group, Sandunga will play a mixture of traditional Latin-American folk music, Mectiso (Spanish and South American styles), and Afro-Carribean music for an LCC Performing Arts Department benefit next Friday, Feb. 28. Proceeds from the SO-cent per person, 1 p.m. concert will be used for tuning and maintaining the department's practice room pianos. Fluctuations of temperature and humidity within the rooms have caused the pianos' strings to expand and contract, says Instructor Barbara Myrick . But lack of funds in the department's equipment maintenance and replacement budgets ''has resulted in an abysmal situation for our pianos, particularly the practice pianos,'' she reports. Some students had circulated petitions requesting immediate attention to the problem, but it was music student Rico Perez who initiated the concert that is, in fact, mutually beneficial -- a chance for musicians to perform and a way to solicit funding. "When you're a musician, you have to put your foot in the door and make it happen on your own,'' says Perez, one of the coordinators of the event. "I've been going from door to door, and place to place, trying to get in touch with people about organizing more performances, both here and at the U of O,'' he explains. ''There are some excellent musicians here who work hard, and want to perform, but they don't think of the business aspect of music -promoting themselves to let people know that they are out there, and that they're good.'' So Perez is promoting a six-member group for the benefit. Pernell Lopez on guitar, charanga (a 10-stringed instrument similar to a mandolin), and vocals; Armando Morales on flute, quena (a South American Andean flute), guitar, percussion, and vocals; Enrique Rios on flute, percussion and vocals; Eli Torres on guitar, cuatro (a small four-stringed Venezualan instrument), and vocals; and Mary O'Connor, percussion and vocals.

So learned the approximately 30 students and members of the media who attended a teleconference on international terrorism last Wednesday, Feb. 12. The five panelists at the teleconference, "International Terrorism: Is the U.S. Next?" represented all areas of law enforcement from Interpol to community police departments. They addressed questions about the threat of terrorism to U.S. citizens both within and outside of the country. According to Col. Jo:1'tn Hart, British liaison officer, American society "does not lend itself to terrorism.'' He said the larger size of the U.S., and the difficulties involved in escaping from the country deter terrorism her Most importantly, said Hart, "there are other ways to vent anger and frustration in the U.S." When terrorist acts do threaten U.S. citizens, they are often prevented before the fact. Interpol's Jim Berthay said 23 acts of terrorism aimed at the U.S. were prevented between 1983-86. The panelists all agreed that, in the event of terrorist acts against the U.S., the military would probably not be the target. Rather, said Col. Hart, "terrorist actions are usually intended to make a statement." Targets would therefore be those things symbolizing American free enterprise and democracy, such as U.S. corporations. The panelists agreed that one of the most effective deterrents of terrorism is citizen awarenes~. Said Berthay, "It is times like these when apathy should be fought at all costs." If citizens have any information about terrorist acts they should contact their local police departments immediately. According to the panelists, any information will be treated with '' professionalism and respect.'' which has area, state and national chapters. The membership of these groups consists mainly of families of mental patients. According to Fletcher, the involvement of more ex-patients and professionals would help increase the effectiveness of the group -- "They do help our cause, we can learn from them and they can learn from us."

''It can't just be one person or two," she says, "but everybody working and cooperating."

To others, graffiti is unquestionably vandalism. purposes, is continuously ripped down or torched. And people have been trying to drill holes through the wall from the men's room to the women's room. Wienecke says his crews have attempted a variety of methods to prevent repeated bathroom damage, ''but it just doesn't seem to get any better.'' But to LCC's custodians who must clean up after the "artists," _graffiti presents problems. Costly problems. When they first found the drilled wall, Wienecke had his staff plaster over the holes and repaint the walls, but students drilled through again. Then a block of wood was installed to cover the holes; even that was drilled through. Now he's decided to cover both sides of the wall. The Apprenticeship Building seems to have suffered the most wear and tear, according to Campus Services Assistant Director David Wienecke. In his opinion, most of the damage is being caused by the younger High School Completetion students. In the bathrooms, the main problem is the writing on the walls. But it goes deeper than that. But Wienecke says repairs aren't the answer. Stalls have been ripped off of walls in both the men's and women's bathrooms. Paper, purposely hung on the stall walls for writing "We -need the support of the Building Administrators and the staff.'' He says controlling the vandalism should be a staff responsibility. ''The whole issue of what is acceptable in the classroom is the -teacher's realm. They basically run the classroom. But they have to understand that their responsibility isn't restricted to curriculum. They have to work with us in maintaining that facility." Another major issue is food in the classrooms. Weinecke says he's been into classrooms after an Adult Basic Ed. High School Completion class and "it looks like a lunch room." Bob Way, Apprenticeship's building administrator and CWE's chairman, doesn't think that his building is any worse than other buildings on campus. But he agrees with Wienecke that instructors need to be more strict when allowing food into the classrooms. Way says he's been bothered by seeing trays left in classrooms all over cam- by DENISE ABRAMS photos by DOMINIQUE SEPSER pus. He says he's mentioned that fact to the custodians, but that the custodians say it's Food Services' responsibility. And he says Food Services claims it's not their responsibiltiy or the custodian's: it's the responsibility of the person who used the tray. Way says he basically agrees with that, but when a tray has been left in a room for three months with soup bowls, salad plates and silverware, someone has to make a move on the matter. "My response (to the littered classrooms) has been to notify the department heads to let their staff know it's been a problem and not to allow food into the classrooms.'' • Way adds that the issue of keeping the building in shape gets back to the students. It's essentially their building and how they keep it clean is up to them. "We'd like to say, 'You have pride in your building, you take care of it.' But I don't know how we get that pride established in our students.'' Until the students take more pride, however, the problem . continues. LCC Housekeeping Manager Issac Johnson says, "We've reduced our staff by 8 or 9 people. It's difficult to have special project groups (to handle graffiti and trays) when we're down to these levels. It's a matter of what we can do with what we have, and we've tried very hard to meet the requirements with the reductions of our staff.'' Johnson says he's ~ot sure who is really responsible. ''My responsibility is to clean up (the mess) and I intend to do just that!" The TORCH February 21, 1986 Page 9 • • • I > ~ .SPORT S Titan men host first playoff game Saturday Lane 84, Mt.

She said that they do not anticipate a no-confidence vote on President Turner. However, John indicated that a faculty "evaluation" would probably come later. Maurer-Clemons added that the staff organized a '' strategy committee" that will analyze and consolidate suggestions from other members. She says members are very concerned about what they can do, adding that "they feel like they're up against a wall." Darrell Murray, a mediator from the state Employment Relations Board, suspended bargaining after six hours of negotiating efforts on Feb. 13. The next mediation conference is scheduled for Feb. 27. Turner said that it is his understanding that Murray "wants a cooling-off period." ''I think all these things together are creating an environment in which people are concerned,'' commented Turner in the Register Guard. Specifically, he listed LCC's involvement in collective bargaining for a year, the new presidency for the first time in 15 years and falling ''below the maximum state funding'' level for the first time ever. While cooling off, .if needed, is usually beneficial to all, Maurer-Clemons stresses the importance of everyone in the institution working together to the benefit of all. But, she feels, this is the one crucial element that has been missing in recent months among LCC faculty and administration.
