The TORCH f'ebruary 28, 1986 Page 1 Faculty, college forge tentative • _agreement by Lisa Zimmerman TORCH Associate Editor feb 281 1986 VOL. 211 NO. 18 Tentative f acuity agreemen t still leaves questions hanging by Ann Van Camp TORCH Feature Editor What would a faculty strike mean to students? What would be LCC's policies and procedures for academic progress if a strike takes place before the end of Winter Term? What would happen with regard to situations like financial aid, final exams, grades, work study hours, and graduation? The TORCH asked these and many other questions this past week. But the answers vary, and they all depend on when a strike would actually begin -- if, indeed, the faculty votes to strike. -Each day closer to the end of the term changes the implications to the students. Since no strike vote was taken at the Feb. 27 general faculty meeting, the March 10 strike date is no longer possible. The next general faculty meeting has been called for Thursday, March 6. The purpose of the meeting is to consider and possibly ratify Thursday's contract offer. But if the faculty decides not to ratify and votes instead to take a strike vote, the earliest legal strike date would be March 17, 10 days after a strike vote. March 17 is the start of Final's Week. The TORCH will continue to monitor the situation this week and will answer the following questions -- if and when a strike is called: Would final exams be given? Who would grade them? Would grades be turned in? Would Winter Term be in "limbo" until the strike ends? What about graduation for students who are in their last term at LCC? What about registration for Spring Term? What about Financial Aid? What about qualifying for next term? Would students get their checks? What about veteran's benefits? What about work study hours and payments? Would services, such as the library and counseling, be open? Would the outreach services still operate? Would telecourses be transmitted? Students who have questions which they feel must be answered before March 17 should contact Vice President of Student Services, Jack Carter's office, 747-4501, ext. 2315. Negotiations game primer by Karen Irmsher TORCH Editor The Teams: There are two teams, a college team and a faculty team. Each team consists of a negotiator, usually hired (not part of the usual staff), plus a representative group -- typically about five people. The college team receives its orders from the LCC Board of Education when it is in session. President Turner interprets the board's wishes to the team between sessions. The faculty bargaining team has received its orders from meetings and oth~r communications of the faculty. It has the power to interpret the wishes of that group between meetings. The Beginning: Usually around January or February of the year in which the contract expires, the teams meet for the first time. Faculty makes a proposal to the college about changes they would like to see in their next contract. Some weeks later: Teams meet again. The employer's team responds with a proposal of its · own. More weeks pass: Teams meet to begin true bargaining. First they identify areas in which no conflict exists and agreement can be easily reached. Then they begin working on areas of conflict, figuring out how to work toward compromi~e. See Negotiations, page 5 After an eleven hour mediation session Thursday, Feb. 27, the college reached a tentative contract agreement with the LCC Education Association. The agreement will now go to the faculty for ratification on Thursday, March 6. According to Steve John, head of the faculty bargaining team, 11Any further efforts to prepare for strike will be 'on hold' " until after the Thursday faculty meeting. Although a tentative agreement is better than no agreement, said John, he still has "serious reservations" about one issue. The struggle goes on, he said Thursday night, "it's just a different kind of struggle, now.'' John would not reveal which issue the tentative agreement still leaves unresolved. He would only say it would be resolved later through a process within the contract agreement itself, but that it might stand in the way of the faculty's ratification of the contract. Throughout negotiations, faculty have maintained that the issue of workload, rather than salary has been the key problem. John also said he will meet with certain (un-named) employee groups affected by the agreement, sometime before the faculty meeting Thursday. ''My meeting with them (the affected employees) will either relieve or add to my frustrations," he said. John declined to comment on what specifically would be addressed in that meeting. The faculty had met earlier the same day, behind closed doors, for an update on the progress of the bargaining, and to develop "pre-strike strategies" in the event of a strike vote. Faculty Union President Dixie MaurerClemons, said such strategies involve "educating people to what our problem is -- that it isn't a money issue, but workload." Administration officials, on the other hand, said workload is not the problem issue. Employee Relations Director Hank Douda said Thursday, "There are many issues on the table.'' He insisted that no one issue could be named as ''The Issue.'' But, says Maurer-Clemons, "they bargained all day last bargaining session about workload. What does that tell you?'' Maurer-Clemons said today was the first time that both sides seemed to be bargaining "out and out" on all issues. Next Thursday's (March 6) faculty meeting is tentatively scheduled for 4 p.m. in the Forum Building. John says the faculty will meet then for a discussion and explanation of the agreement, followed by an open See Agreement, page 10 fun Academic Fair offersFair informative co-coordinator Strong, Judi was a re- by Lisa Zimmerman TORCH Associate EDitor .50 () mo. wk. day non Everyone loves a parade, goes the old saw.

Open letter to LCC students Kate Barry The news media have reported the possibility of a strike by Women's Program members of the Lane Community College Education AssociaCoordinator tion. I want to assure each of you that the LCC administration Education at LCC and Board of Education are equally concerned along with the faculty that we reach agreement soon on those remaining colworth more lective bargaining issues. If a strike should occur, however, than it costs you may be sure that every reasonable effort will be made to minimize its impact upon your academic progress.

First, See Turner, page 10 c I~ Pres assures Students of minim al impact on academic progre ss the teachers here are paid primarily to teach -- not to conduct research. This allows them to focus on students. Second, the low ratio of students to teachers allows for much interaction between the two groups, which enhances the process of learning. Third, there is an overall flexibility to the college which allows a wealth of diverse people to come together and learn. I have treasured this third aspect most of all. I recognize that this quality education actually costs more per student than an education received at a university. In scientific terms, more energy goes into a student a at than here ''cattle-herding'' four year college. I suspect that if any or all of the above mentioned attributes are tampered with to a significant degree, enrollment will drop. I suspect that because my own academic endeavors have been tenuous enough at times that if it had not been for the personability and flexibility at LCC, I'd have taken it down the road. TORCH Feature Editor The right to vote. Americans have it, but they don't use it. A vote, by Webster's definition, is a formal expression of preference for a candidate or office, or for a proposed resolution of an issue; that by which such a preference is made known ... as with a ballot. Maybe it's the words formal expression' which throw Americans off. As a nation, we've become casual and informal. Perhaps we're too laid back to respond to such awesome etiquette as "formal expression of preferences." Instead of voting, we'd rather just hash it out over our instant coffee and T. V. dinners. Americans do still have their freedom of speech, and talk is cheap. To some people, it's cheaper than action and perhaps more satisfying. We re an action-craving society, and it's true that a good political argument gets the adrenalin up. Unfortunately, adrenalin levels tend to stay pretty constant inside a voting booth. Some people just don't want to get involved. They want things to turn out their way, but complaining over coffee is "safer" than getting involved. And they count voting as getting involved. Activists get really involved. They hold rallies, schedule speakers, pass out flyers and jump at opportunities to start heated debates with strangers. And they vote like crazy. But that group is a tiny minority of this nation's eligible voters. Where is the rest of the country? Drinking coffee and watching T.V.? Most Americans are still, by and large, concerned about the issues. They're still interested, and they do have opinions. That's evident from opinion polls such as LCC' s recent 1 11 1(/H,'I.,.. J)/J) y,v P" wEE~E,#P !'{KY'S? ,::,vER 7Hc" Oregon Marijuana Initiative survey. But nearly one-fourth of those who participated aren't registered to vote. Their opinions won't count. And how many of those who are registered voters will actually vote? If they don't make it to the polls on election day, . then their opinions won't count either. Their opinions are wasted efforts. And a waste of time. Why the nonchalance? The lethargy? The apathy? Maybe Americans aren't given enough in return for their votes. Bow many chocolafe chip cookies would it take to get the voting averages up? And if the government started giving out goodies in exchange for votes, wouldn't that change our ideal of democracy just slightly? There is a price to be paid when one reads up on the issues and then gets to a polling place and actually punches out the little holes to make a preference known: Time. And time is a commodity highly coveted by most Americans. In the eighteenth century this country went through the bloody process of revolution to give people the right to express their preferences through voting. Today, this planet is covered with countries in revolt - people dying to get something we've got and don't use. Each vote does count. The folks at Rajneeshpuram knew that. And each vote not cast only helps the other side of the issue or the other candidate. Get registered to vote. Get informed about the issues. Take sides, then take the time and effort to vote. If you don't use it, you could lose it. 1301'>1ill'IRDFJ:> DY s,>A t-ED /Al S£1/£~F wl4TE1i?

ON CAMPU S College-to-corporate transition is tough by Kelli J. Ray TORCH Staff Writer Many students aren't prepared for the differences between college and corporate life, and are frustrated when they succeed in college but have problems later in the business arena. The tuition-free training ranges from a one-hour workshop to a six-month intensive training program in a specific area, such as office and accounting skills, Lay says. With 45 students currently in the program, each receives individual attention tailored to his or her needs.

Skiers earn credit while on slopes by Lois Grammon TORCH Staff Writer Skiing enthusiasts from LCC are enjoying the recent snowfall at Hoodoo Ski Bowl while having the opportunity to earn college credit. Skiers from beginning through advanced levels started a five week course on February 18, and fees may be pro-rated for latecomers, according to Dr. Fred Loveys, department head of Physical Education. Loveys helped create the course when he came to LCC Winter Term of 1985, beginning with five students. This year the course consists of two five-week credit option classes during Winter Term. The first class this term drew 32 students. The class leaves from campus Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. to travel to Hoodoo Ski Bowl with LCC Coach and Instructor George Gyorgyfalvy. Hoodoo Ski School instructors teach classes at all skill levels for 1-plus hours, then Gyorgyfalvy takes over. ''When the Ski School releases them, I take them, and coach them, and give them assignments to work on during free practice time," says Gyorgyfalvy. Students have free skiing until 4 p.m., when the bus returns to LCC. Transportation, instruction, and a lift ticket are included in the $75 fee for the five-week class. The optional one-credit hour course fee is $19, and rental equipment is available for about $5 per day.

Women'S History Week celebrated by Ramona Munsell Beat Reporter ''Women as Community Builders" is the theme for National year's this Women's History Week, which begins March 2. The LCC Women's Center has scheduled several events to commemorate the occasion. A film festival begins Monday, March 3, with three films on women in the workplace. Two films about women in history will be shown on Wednesday, March 5, and on Friday, March 7, the festival will conclude with two films dealing with women and art. A complete schedule with times and locations for the films is available in the Women's Center. Wednesday, March 5, the Women's Center will have a booth in the cafeteria displaying pictures and books on women in history. A representative from the Women's Center will be available to answer questions. _ Also on Wednesday, "Sweetgrass," a feminist acapella singing group will perform in the cafeteria from 3:30 to 4 p.m .. Friday, March 8, a lunch at the Black Angus in Eugene, will honor all women staff members at LCC. Cappy Eaton, who attended the 1985 UN Decade of Women Conference in N arobi, will be the guest speaker. The lunch will be held from noon to 1:30, and is open to the public at a cost of $6.30 per person. r ag~ Q Th~ ,T()RC~ f'ebruary ~18,. )..98~ _ NEGQTIATIQ NS,trompagel _ _ _ __ Several more meetings pass: Packaging begins -- issues begin to be linked together and presented in package deals. For instance, faculty might say "we'll agree to accept only a four percent salary increase, if we have a guaranteed grievance procedure, one day for political leave, and 1.25 days per month sick leave." Packages and repackages are traded back and forth as long as progress is made. Resolution may be reached here. Mediation is requested: At any time in the process when either side feels meaningful progress is not being made. The Mediator: A neutral person from the state-run Mediation and Conciliation Service. This state-financed service is available to all public employers. The mediator has no power over either side, except for the power of persuasion. He or she usually puts the two sides in two separate rooms and carries ideas back and forth, sometimes coming up with new ideas he or she thinks might be mutually acceptable. Resolution is usually reached at this point. Fact-finding: Any time the mediator, or either side, feels no meaningful progress is being made, he or she may call for fact-finding. The fact-finder (FF) must be acceptable to both parties, and the cost of $150 or more a day is split between the two sides. Fact-finder's report: The FF.takes facts and arguments, both written and oral, from both sides and writes a settlement proposal within 30 days. The settlement gives reasons for the decisions and is written in actual contract language. The state mediator receives one copy, as does each side. The report is secret from the public for five days. Then each side must either totally accept or reject the proposal. If both sides accept, it's all over but the signing. Rejecting fact-finder's report: Usually one or both sides will reject the report. Mediators reinter the picture and an effort is made to resolve remaining disagreements using the report as a basis. Cooling off period: During the 30 days following the receipt of the fact-finder's report, no strike may be called. Strike notice: May be given any time after the cooling off period. A strike cannot begin until 10 days after a formal strike vote by the faculty and the exact date it begins must be announced. Strike history: There has never been a strike in an Oregon Community College. Secrecy: Secrecy is necessary in negotiations (1) because it is not good for the membership of either side to read about settlements or proposals in the paper before they hear about them from their negotiators. (2) If provisions become too public, outside pressures will needlessly complicate an already complicated process.

The policy started this term with manditory drug testing of every student athlete going out for the women's and men's basketball team, and will continue through the year with drug testing of the men's and women's track teatns and Titan baseball players. ''By starting this term we missed the women's volleyball team and two cross country teams, but we will start with them next year,'' commented Thompson. The program was started by LCC Athletic Trainer Janet Anderson and approved by the coaches, Athletic Director Sue Thompson and finally by Jack Carter head of Student Services. PROBABLY WE SHOULD have started it a long. time ago," comment-ed Thompson. "I think there's been curr~nt awareness since the NCAA and District 4J (Eugene high schools) have passed manditory drug testing. It's something we've been talking about doing, and we decided to just do it." Alcohol and drug abuse has been a big problem in athletics for a long time at all levels, from high school through the pros, but has been ignored by coaches and management until recenlty. ''The policy was primarily established to assist those athletes, if there are any, that may have a drug problem, and to make it clear that the college doesn't condone ~ubstance abuse by its athletes. If it is a problem we can't Just turn our heads and say it doesn't exist or its not our concern,'' said Carter. The new policy at Lane has an emphasis on drug education, according to Thompson. It is not designed to go out and "catch" kids abusing substances. Anderson, unavailable for comment, has done most of the leg work to get the policy off the drawing board and into action. She contacted Horizon Recovery Center and was united with Mike Krunnel, a community services research counselor at Horizon. He now has joinded the effort at lane as the college's connection with Horizon to refer athletes suffering from substance abuse. The testing that Lane has adopted is a manditory urine sample of all student athletes, with the results confidential to protect the student. THE RESULTS OF THE TESTS are only made available to Anderson, Thompson, the student, and the coach involved. These four meet with a counselor, most likely Krunnel, from Horizon after the results are in. Students who have a positive test (or tests "dirty" as Horizon calls it) is temporarily suspended from their teams until they make a free appointment at Horizon for a drug screening. The screening consists of a questionnaire and interview with a counselor. The counselor then writes up a recommendation report of treatment, and the students must release the report to Anderson, Thompson, and their coach. This trio then reviews the report, and sits down with the student to implement the recommendation. "Once the students have made their appointment with Horizon they can start competing again,'' said Thompson. According to Carter, if substance abuse continues, even after a drug screening, then the student will be suspended for a short period of time, and ultimately, if abuse continues, the student athlete will be permanently suspended from the team. "Student Managers and ineligible players (red shirts) are included in the policy also, so it's not like we're just trying to protect the star athletes. It's program wide and involves everyone,'' added Thompson. The referrals and recommendations from the councelors vary from participation in Lane's "Books and Booze" Group which meets on Monday's, to going to an outpatient clinic on a monthly basis. I FEEL REAL GOOD about it. It is high time that the athletic programs across the nation do something. We are in a role of being an influence on the students, and it's obvious that use and abuse effects them in terms of actual game play and in everyday life. Athletes may use performance enhancers they think will make them faster or better, or jump higher, but it really is a long-term health problem," remarked Thompson. Accordi~g to Thompson the policy is enforced through the Athletic Department with no punitive action, unless the student is found drinking or taking drugs on campus. Then it becomes a campus security concern. 11 11 Todd leads Titan front line by Darren Foss TORCH Sports Editor Sophomore Jeff Todd, a 6'7" center/forward from Los Angeles, Calif., has been a solid force on the front line for the Titans' Men's Basketball team this season. Todd has been playing basketball since he was in the sixth grade in California. Following graduation from Cross-Roads High School in LA he brought his talents to Oregon. The past two years he has attended the University of Oregon. He practiced with the Ducks' basketball team his freshman year, and was ready to play last year before torn ankle ligaments sidelined him in a cast for three months, and forced him to miss the whole basketball season. This year he transferred to Lane, and has become a key member of the Titans basketball program. Todd explains his reason for transferring: ''Basketball wasn't out of my system altogether. I thought I wanted to play again, so instead of going back to the Ducks and probably not playing, I decided to come out here so I could play. This was going to be my deciding year as to whether I am going to play basketball or just hang it up and hit the books . . . academically I've been pretty good too.'' Todd added that his teammate this season and former roommate at the U of O, Lester Jackson, had some influence on his dicision to come to Lane. "I talked to Lester, and came out and watched the team play last year.'' Titans' Men's Basketball Coach Dale Bates said, "JT' s made a lot of progress. At the beginning of the season I was certainly concerned about his selfish style of play. He reflected more of a California-type one-on-one player, which seemed to be typical of the kind of players . we get." ''He's made a pretty good adjustment for us, but occasionally reverts back to his old ways. However, overall he's playing real solid right now, and is going to have a great tournament. He's on top of his game, has his confidence and intensity back, and is scoring well,'' added Coach Bates. Todd's impressive stats this year can prove it. Overall, he is second in offensive output for the Titans, scoring 361 points (an average of almost 14 points per game), and ripping down 201 rebounds (7.7 per game). Todd has been a work horse for the Titans. He is one of only four players on the team to play in all 26 Sophomore transfer Jeff Todd has been a fairly consistent free throw shooter, connecting on 67 percent for the season. \ regular season games, and leads the team in minutes played with 765. Other league coaches were also impressed with Todd's season and selected him for Honorable Mention as a league All-Star following the regular season. His best offensive game as a Titan this season was December 11, 1985 against Clark when he scored 25 points, shooting 10 of 19 from the field, and 5 of 7 from the stripe. His best rebounding game came just four nights earlier, Dec. 7, when he collected 13 boards in Washington against the Northwest defending Champs, Edmonds. Todd isn't sure where he's going from here. '' A lot depends on the Northwest Tournament. After the season I'm going to evaluate which schools want me and best fit my needs. I know I can play Division 1 college n 0 C "'O 0 'Z ball, but I'm not sure that that is as imp'ortant to me any more. I don't want to go to a Division 1 school out somewhere in the boonies. I'm not one to go somewhere just because it's an offer. I'm just gonna wait and see what happens," said Todd. Todd is majoring in sociology with a minor in biology. ''I'd really like to find a school that has a good Physical Therapy program. That's what I really want to be," added Todd.

Lane enters the NWAACC The Titans' Men's Basketball team advanced to this week's Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) Championship Tournament in Walla Walla, Wash. The Titans are one of the final eight teams still in the running for the NWAACC Championship after defeating the Gray Harbor Chokers 64-58 at home last Saturday, Feb 22. The win closed out Lane's home season with a 10-2 record. The team left this past !? Tournament with an undefeated record in tournament play this season. The Titans played in three preseason tournaments, compiling a perfect 6-0 record and winning the championship titles of all three. LCC now has made it to the tournament that counts, and hopes to keep its tourney record unblemished , bringing home the NWAACC Championship Trophy. Lane has been a member of the NWAACC for four years now and hasn't won the Title yet. Last year's team placed third -- its best placing so far __ with a 21-9 record and a predominately young team. The freshman nucleus from last year is back this season as a better team with a year's experience under its belt of Championship Tournament action.

We lost our intensity and didn't look ready to play," commented Bates. "After that we tightened up the 'D', started executing better, and quit making so many • mistakes." 'Laakso looked tough midway through (the second half), and Todd got going. Then Jerome picked up the intensity, and we pulled it off,'' said Coach Bates. Overall, Bates was pleased with the teams' defensive effort, but felt the team made too many mental errors, and tried to force the ball too much. '' At this time of the year we're gonna have occasional falters on offense, but we have to maintain good intensity and solid defense or we're not gonna have a chance to win the Title," concluded Bates. I Th~•'f.ORCl:I f.'ebruary 28~ 1986 ~age·9 ■F o o D F o R ■Pack rat packs backpack ■THOUGHT ■Submitted by Beth Naylor LCC Nutrition Instructor Question: "How about olive oil? Does it raise or lower the risk of heart disease?" Olive oil is an example of a monounsaturated fat. For years we held the notion that this type of fat was "neutral" neither raising nor lowering blood cholesterol and risk of heart disease. But why, then, do Greeks and Italians, whose diets are rich in olive oil, seem to have low rates of heart disease? A recent study in Dallas provided some clues. In tests on 20 persons, monounsaturates and polyunsaturates (in corn and other vegetable oils) equally lowered total blood cholesterol. But monounsaturates also kept high density lipoproteins (HDLs) at high levels while polyunsturates lowered them. High levels of HDLs seem to be heart-protective. After only one study, it's still too early to draw conclusions. But the early data suggest that olive oil may actually be beneficial with respect to the heart. Dear·Annabanana, Some of my friends wander around campus without any school gear at all while others hunch under loads that would make a mule groan. I'm curious to know what students keep in their backpacks. I don't think it's just books. Signed, Nosey & Skeptical Dear N & S, I can't speak for your friends, but your question prompted me to do a little housekeeping of my own. And for me, a pack-rat and an anti-litteritionist, this was an ugly job. The first thing I pulled out was my umbrella, and I probably should have stopped right there. I was horrified (and a bit embarrassed) to find an old banana under my umbrella. But then under the banana I found an unopened box of Tic Tacs! The label was a little sticky, but the tics weren't too tacky. I found three more empty boxes, seventeen gum wrappers (with old chewed gum wrapped up), a ticket stub to The Kingston Trio when they'd been at the Hult Center, and one empty film canister. And I found half a Snicker's bar; it was squashed at one end where it had slid under my camera, but it was still edible. I also found $4.72 in loose change! There was a small tape recorder, two extra tapes, and a little calculator to use in my Economics class. I also found a mirror, a comb, and a small bottle of cheap cologne. I found my coffee mug and a large spoon. Also, three envelopes of cocoa mix, seven herbal tea bags, and a trial size jar of decaffeinated coffee! Tool-wise, there was a pocket knife, a collapsable scissors, a combination padlock, and a canister of lock de-icer (which I assume attackers might take for mace if the emergency ever arose.) Pharmaceutically speaking, I found band-aids, dental floss, kleenex, asprin, Allerest, toothbrush and toothpaste, four Wash'N Dri towlettes, and a pair of nylons. For writing purposes I found not one, not two or three, but four notepads and an Audubon engagement calendar. I was carrying five pencils (with broken off leads) and eleven pens (only two of which had ink.) I also had a pink highlighter and three lipsticks. (I hope I haven't mixed them up.) So there you have it -- the contents of at least one other backpack on campus. And when I re-packed all the goodies, I began to understa nd why I also need to carry a satchel at my side ... that's where the books go. By the way, when you find out how your friends who wander around without any school gear do it, will you let me know? I've got a hunch, and it's getting worse!

In closing, I must confess that I will be transferring to OSU next fall and I will not be effected by the raft of changes that I have heard will probably occur. However, I have dealt with the problem of classes not being offered when I needed them and it was grievious to me. Had I been told that I would be ready to transfer to OSU in two years if all my classes were offered at the appropriate times, or four years if I wasn't '' so lucky,'' I'd have taken it (my enrollment and my money) down the road.

From there they crosscountry skied uphill to a point about a mile and a half from the pass, where they began attempting to pitch camp. Remaining vertical is often quite difficult for an inexperienced cross-country skier, and when a backpack weighing anywhere from 25 to 55 pounds is added, it becomes even more difficult, according to the experienced skiers. Miller seemed to have little trouble with the skiing and camping, but did manage to take one good spill on the way back down. As for the rest of the students "Don't ask me how many times I fell -- ask me how often I was standing up!" seemed to be the general consensus. Once the class reached its final camping destination, the students built° shelters by throwing a tarp over a string tied between two trees. A few of the students chose to elaborate on their shelters, by putting several tarps together, making them into one big shelter.

After the shelters were completed, the students were free to eat, ski, socialize, have snowball fights, or whatever else they could leagally come up with. Still, others felt that waiting for morning in the semiwarm depths of their sleeping bags was by far the best of all available activities. ''Everything will be just fine as long as we all sit around this here campstove and keep the flap on the tarp closed,' said one camper. ''It can't be too long until morning. What time is it now?" asked the camper. It was 8 p.m. Some of the students had brought campstoves for cooking, but ended up sharing them with others trying to keep warm. The students spent the night, and then returned to the lodge between 8 and 11 a.m. the following morning. The exact time a student arrived back at the lodge depended on how late he or she chose to sleep in, but all students were expected to remain in camp until daybreak. Sitting in the relative warmth of the lodge a few minutes before the ride ·back home, everyone seemed to be fairly jovial, but extremely relieved. ''It's not that it's not hard work," says Miller. "It is, but it's very rewarding."

Turner, III President Long addresses Gramm-: Rudman effects by Denise Abrams TORCH Staff Writer Bruce Long, Republican candidate for the 4th District congressional seat, spoke to less than a handful of students in the LCC Board Room Monday, Feb. 24. He addressed the reduction in student aid under the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Bill(G-R-H). G-R-H proposes a $1.3 billion dollar cut in the federal educational budget for the 86-87 fiscal year. This means that 600,000 students who receive aid and/ or are eligible for aid won't receive anything. Students whose parents have a joint income over $30,000 won't be eligible for aid, and students who haven't earned a high school diploma will also be ineligible. Long proposes a modification in the current Individual Retirement Account (IRA) legislation as it pertains to the parents of college students. His plan states that if parents invest in an IRA, they would be allowed seven years to withdraw the principle and interest without tax penalty, provided the money was usea toward a college education. Of the many domestic programs on the G-R-H ''cutting block," Long says he doesn't believe the cut in education is reasonable. ''Education is directly tied to entrepreneurial development." Long added that college graduates make up a very high percentage of the _ people who start the small, entrepreneurial businesses. i:: ::sIll l: ~ (l) ,-, >. .L:l 0 0 ..c: 0.. And Long estimated 80 percent of the jobs supporting the nation's economy come from the small businesses. ''When we see programs which cut the assistance going to students . . . we will also see a reduction in the number of new small business starts.'' Long says when this occurs we '11 see reductions in the growth level and the government won't gain the revenue oppo rt unities the small businesses generate. The process then becomes selfperpetuating and calls for even more budget cuts. The·TO'R Ctt'f'ebruary 28;· 1986 Page··tl • CLASSIFIED S -WANTED- vETs need work or iniormation?
