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.

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

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.

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.

Shuttle's
true

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.

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

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. _

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.

"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

LCC Nutrition Instructor

Question: I've been hearing for years that polyunsaturated fats, like corn oil, help to lower the risk of getting heart disease. 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.

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

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

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

meetings, then a copy of the
survey results/opinions is

Off-road

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.
Because the college fears
soil erosion and shrubbery
damage, it restricts off-road
vehicles, according to Chase.
He adds that compliance has
been pretty good.''

receive

half-ton:
cheese,
butter
by Richard Smith

Beat Reporter

Last January over 1000
needy people from LCC campus and the surrounding
area received 12,000 pounds
of cheese and butter, according to Rob Ward, treasurer
of ASLCC.
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.

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."

Folk
concert
to aid
performing
arts

byJeff Rothman
Beat Reporter

Students have a chance to
enjoy several varieties of
ethnic music, and support
tuned pianos at the same
time, Friday, Feb. 28.
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

U.S. society te"orism deterrent

by Lisa Zimmerman

TORCH Associate Editor

The structure of American society makes terrorism less likely to occur here.
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."
Some obstacles Fletcher

One man's expression,
another's costly problem
Graffiti has been around
since cave walls and charcoal, and to some people the
crude drawings and inscriptions are a form of artistic expression.
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

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!"

staff.'' He says he has visited with members of the faculty in
numerous places, discussing ideas and issues and receiving
input ''both formally and informally.''
At a faculty-membership meeting on Thursday, Feb. 20,
teachers conducted a brainstorming session and reviewed
timelines and legal matters, according to Maurer-Clemons.
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.
