the Lane Community College April 25, 1986 VOL. 21, NO. 23 Ed Ragozzino: tough act to follow by Ann Van Camp TORCH Feature Editor After working 18 years at LCC and a total of 30 years in theater education, Ed Ragozzino will retire this June under the new early retirement incentive program. And whil e pe o ple are wishing him well, they' re also wondering what will happen when he leaves. LCC Theatre Operations Manager Dick Reid thinks Ragozzino' s retirement will not damage the program. ''To lose him is a great loss. But, we'll go on being a high quality program. The Ragozzino recipe for success will be p erpetuated because we won't tolerate less -- we're used to the best!" But what does it take to be the best? What's in that recipe? P nd what makes Ragozzir r such a tough act to follow? Tn a word -- one of Ragozzino' s own favorites -- commitment. see Ragozzino page 7 Board work session ends in clash of opinions by Karen Irmsher TORCH Editor Members of the LCC Board of Education disagreed Wednesd.:;._, night over the possible impact of the faculty union's (LCCEA) recent independent evaluation of President Richard Turner. The clash came at the end of a public work session held at the McMorran House for the two-fold purpose of . discussing reroofing alternatives for LCC, and the process to be used in evaluating the president. Members Bob Bowser and Bill Manley were worried that the college could be damaged if the faculty union goes public with the results. ''The indication is that this report will in some way be made public, '' said Bowser. Action reviewed page 12 "We could really get burned." Board members Charlene Curry and Larry Perry see no problem should the faculty choose to publicize the results. "We're in a public business and people can evaluate us as they wish,'' said Perry. ''They can do whatever they damn well please," said Curry. "I'm not even slightly concerned about some constituency doing whatever they want to do," she added. The board had originally planned to discuss a process for its own evaluation of the president, but when the reroofing discussion took longer than planned, the board decided to reschedule the presidential evaluation portion of the session. Bowser, however, wanted to express his concerns about the LCCEA evaluation before the next board meeting. He said he thought the union should be asked to keep the ·results of their survey private, and suggested that the information be shared only with Dr. Turner for his own use. ''I think that it's inappropriate that employees evaluate their boss," he said. Curry disagreed, saying, "If you tell them to shut up, it's just like pouring gas on the little fire we've already got built up ." Bowser said he thinks the turmoil between the faculty and the administration is "trumped up." And he said it was his understanding that the faculty evaluation "wasn't exactly done from an objective point of view.'' Baseball • victory page9-10 Manley was worried that the faculty evaluation would affect the board's evaluation of the president. "Since we have to deal with it, we have to accept it, reject it, or answer to it," he said. Curry said, '' I think whatever the faculty does has nothing to do with our evaluation . . . I think that process is a totally different process, and we haven't even talked about what we're going to do." She also said that while she objects to the process used by the LCCEA, she approves of including teachers, students, and classified staff in the board's evaluation process. Perry agreed, saying, "Seemingly it is incumbent on us to provide a means to include faculty in the evaluation process. " He pointed Schafer Drive page5 out that the LCCEA evauluation occurred because the board has not allowed them to have their say through any other channels. Manley said, ''The Union's character is on the line . . . it has been tainted by this action . . . If they are interested in the good of the college, then they had better keep their mouths shut about this, and just give it to us independently.'' Perry recommended not starting down a road to evaluation with trepidation. "It's ' accountability," he said. "It' s something to give the employee clear direction." "We can take it," said Curry. ''I don't know what we're afraid of." see Clash, page 5 Page2 April 25, 1986 The TORCH Human race endangered? Views differ Forums are the one place in the TORCH where we allow outside writers to publish their ideas. Forums do not necessarily express the views of the TORCH staff. Specifically, last week's forum opposing population limitation did not express the views of the TORCH staff. Forum submitted by Freeman Rowe LCC Science Instructor Dear Editor: I was astounded to see the editorial ''Does the Caucasian Race Face Extinction?" in the April 18 issue of the TORCH. The racist point of view expressed in the editorial would have been appropriate in Nazi Germany in the 1930's. Should we passively allow the citizens of this country to avoid "the full blast of natural competition?" Shall we choose to allow childhood disease to select the ''fit.''

Thinly disguised racism has NO place at LCC. ·G iant TPcomes toLCC by Ann Van Camp TORCH Feature Editor It's big. Viewers first saw it on national television when they watched this year's Super Bowl. Now, LCC students and staff are using it every day. During the last three weeks, discussions of the new giant rolls of toilet paper have cropped up in restrooms, lunchrooms and just about anywhere else on campus. Installed over spring break, according to Campus Services Assistant Director Dave Wienecke, users have been amused by the novelty. Some of the dispensers squeak. Sometimes there's trouble getting the roll to start turning, and little piles of torn corners accumulate on the floor under other dispensers. And as the rolls get smaller, users find it's a long reach up inside to find the roll end. ''Sure it's a change, and there's a learning process going on while people get used to them," says Wienecke. But he's had no complaints1 except for one dispenser which had to be relocatea in a nandicap stall because it was in the way. It all began last July when increased costs forced a study into possible alternatives. The price of toilet paper had increased and the old dispensers took only one kind of paper, making competitive bidding impossible. The dispensers had to be unlocked with keys and refilled on a daily basis. The process involved extensive time and labor which resulted in higher labor costs for the department. ''We looked at four different vendors' dispensers, but we'd have had to buy each one," says Wi~necke. "Western Paper wanted our business and Scott Supply wanted us to use their product, so they gave us the dispensers. If we ever change again, we can just give them back their dispensers and we aren't out anything." But he doesn't think they'll need to change again for a long time, and he says four competitive paper companies in Oregon carrying the product will make bidding for the lowest prices possible in the future. The rolls of paper measure four inches wide and 4,500 feet long, weigh 5 pounds, 15 ounces, and cost $5.38 each. And they last several weeks before needing to be replaced. Wienecke says the savings to the department are an important factor in the conversion to the larger rolls. Campus Services lost 20 percent of its budget and eight people over the past two years. And he says something as simple as changing toilet paper several times each day in 20 different buildings can be a considerable expense and very time consuming. "We've only changed two rolls on campus since the conversion three weeks ago," says Wienecke. Both were wome'n's restrooms, one each on the first and second floors of the Center Building. "That's a big difference from changing rolls several times a day.'' And that difference, says Wienecke, will make significant savings in the department's labor costs. Wienecke says he thinks another costly problem his department had with the smaller rolls won't exist with the bigger rolls. "Theft was a real problem, and it was a major consideration in deciding to go with these rolls. They' re definitely not going to be as easy to take home." One other Oregon college, Mt. Hood, also uses the super rolls. Wienecke predicts that if the larger rolls become publicly acceptable, businesses and governmental agencies will all oe maKing the conversion before long.

April 15, then fielded questions from the crowd. He expressed concern about the . number of talented young people who leave Oregon due to lack of ample job opportunities. And often, he said, parents encourage their offspring to leave even sooner -- to attend colleges in the locales of greatest opportunity because of the many important connections students make during their college years. ''If the economy picks up, grads will be able to stay,'' he says. Goldschmidt proposes no big changes to the tax system to increase funding for education, though he would like to see tax levies for school converteg. to tax bases. He says the biggest problem in our state is that '' Oregonians are getting poorer ... though there is no shortage of talent and resources in this state." Fun- ding for schools wouldn't be a problem if the economic level were going up, but in a dropping economy people don't want to give up even more money for schools, he says. He would develop a strategy for economic development based on both local and statewide priorities. One locality might benefit most from increasing the salmon population.. another from increased publicity as a tourist attraction.

Prior to the computer shutdown on the first day of spring registration, breakdowns have caused only two hours of registration closure in 10 years. ''This was one of those things that sometimes happens with new equipment. It isn't likely to happen again," says Director of Admissions Bob Marshall. But approximately 800 LCC students were not able to register for Spring Term on Monday, March 17. The new Honeywell computer had broken down. Marshall says the main transformer overheated and began smoking, and then arcing. It became necessary to totally shut down registration for the day. According to LCC Computer Operations Manager Jerry Nehring, the problem was in the power unit of the central processing unit (CPU). ''It simply shorted,'' says Nehring. ''The CPU has its own power pack, though, so it didn't lose any information; but it couldn't be operated." Marshall says the part needed was one that Honeywell doesn't usually stock locally.

Schafer unveiled the new road identification sign bearing the name of her late husband for whom the road was named. Schafer was LCC's president from 1970 to 1985. Schafer Drive official by Ann Van Camp TORCH Feature Editor "I can't think of a more appropriate way to honor the memory of my husband's 15 year love affair with Lane Community College,'' said Mrs. Lucy Schafer at the road dedication ceremonies held on campus Wednesday morning. About 50 people stood at the corner of East Way and the new access road which was opened last October, as several speakers commented on the appro:priateness of naming the roaa after former LCC President Eldon G. Schafer. President Turner explained the decision to call it Schafer Drive, rather than road or loop or way. ''In the old days, you had to have split-second reflexes and a developed taste for Russian roulette in order to park out here in the back 40. All of us always thought it would be wonderful if something could be done to improve the situation ... " Mrs. Schafer thanked Chuck Ivey and the Lane County Commissioners as well as Jim Pitney and LCC' s Board of Education for "recognizing what was a compelling need, finding ways to remedy the situation, and making the road a reality." The discussion of the method and criteria to be used in evaluating the president was rescheduled for the evening of Wednesday, May 7. The Downtown Center was discussed as a possible location. According to Cheryl Bain, secretary for LCCEA president Dixie Maurer-Clemons, who is out of town, the LCCEA has not yet received the results of their independent survey on Dr. Turner's performance.

While the majority of students currently in the FT' s flight program concentrate on fixed-wing aircraft training, approximately 10 of those 80 students are enrolled in helicopter training. Trainees may participate in the helicopter classes without having to take other aviation courses. Gustafson says this specialized training still allows a student to meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements for earning a helicopter pilot's license. The FT program includes two fields of study: rotarywing and fixed-wing, and it is the fixed-wing program that offers an FT degree. So any courses outside fixedwing training are categorized as post-graduate work, though they may be taken separately. The helicopter used in the FT program at Mahlon Sweet Airport is an Enstrom 280C, and it's a "three-place" helicopter, meaning that it carries two passengers and one pilot. Presently, Gustafson is the only instructor in the program. However, the department plans to add two more instructors to the staff in about a month. Both are presently enrolled in the FT program to become certified as helicopter instructors. What about helicopterstudent costs? Generally, every flight hour in the rotary program costs the student $125, says Gustafson. This adds up to $6,250 for the entire 50 hours of flight time required of students who want to become certified as commercial helicopter pilots. General costs, not including actual flight time, total $190 for the helicopter program's 10 credit hours and additional costs for textbooks. Liability Insurance coverage is provided by LCC' s insurance carrier, says Gustafson, see Ff, page 8 0 0 ..c: 0..

FT helicopter repaired, upgraded by Michael Spilman TORCH Staff Writer Since LCC' s Flight Technology Department (FT) started a helicopter program last Winter Term, the helicopter has been used by students an average of 25 flight hours a week. According to Ron Gustafson, chief flight instructor in the FT program, the FT bought a 1976 Enstrom 280C helicopter last December for $46,000. Gustafson says all monies came from the FT Airplane Account. On April 3, the helicopter was tal<en to the Creswell Airport to be repaired and upgraded, and it is scheduled to be back in operation by the end of the month, says Gustafson. The FT decided it would be less expensive to upgrade an older machine than to buy a new one for about $170,000. The department hopes to end up with a "like-new, rebuilt machine," upgraded to meet the specifications of the latest Enstroms, for approximately one-third the that environment grow up and learn to trust?" asks Stork. .

"There's bound to be a lot coming up when you start healing yourself,'' Stork says. People who feel they have to do it all themselves eventually end up feeling isolated and alone. According to Stork, behavior patterns are hard to change; and feedback from others is imperative. The key is in learning to trust others as well as one's self, Stork says. Dependable '' support systems" of friends, or groups like Serenity Lane help people bridge the gap between themselves and others, and overcome the damaging behavior patterns that come from trying to survive in a chaotic environment.

TheTORCH April25,1986 Page7 The Ragazzino recipe for success: Commitment Community involvement is yet another major Ragozzino commitment. For some observers, however, it's raised some major casting controversies. Instead of casting only LCC students in his production roles, Ragozzino often casts community people who are active in community theater. He says his casting choices are deliberate and that they benefit both the community and the students. "First of all, you wouldn't be able to do half of the literature if you didn't have a little more broad-based casting. Second, students have a chance to work with older, more experienced actors from a technical and inspirational point of view. The mix is very healthy, and it's one of the things that makes our department so good -- that we do have community people involved. And very often the community people become LCC students." Marie Siegel is one of those community people. Last summer she landed the part of Golda in Ragozzino' s production of "Fiddler on the Roof," and now she's enrolled in his Acting II class here at LCC. "For me personally, I've probably developed in every area of my life as a result of this class. Ragozzino's students aren't allowed to step backwards. You just keep going -- he expects that. You grow all the time and he doesn't really have any patience for people who make excuses and aren't moving. People who have trouble with Ed, try to manipulate Ed. And Ed is not to be manipulated." The students sit and listen. They've said the same lines over and over, and still Ed Ragozzino isn't satisfied. He's seen every move, ever}/ exP.J:eSsion, every_ lack of expression1 and the notes in his yellow tablet don't miss a tliing. In ww, firm tones, he repeats the changes he wants the students to explore again. The students run through the scene one more time. Ragozzino paces the aisles with his hands thrust deep into his pockets. When the scene ends, he nods and smiles a brief approval. A sense of confidence rises from the gr_oup: they've gotten one small part right, and tomorrow they'll go for another. When people first hear about Ed Ragozzino, they usually hear he's tough to work under. He has a reputation for being a hard-driving perfectionist: he demands the best from his people, and he gets it by teaching people how to get the best from themselves. ''There were times I went home and wondered if he was ever goin_g to sa:x anything positive to me," says second year student Jerry Malgren tnrough clenched teeth. Then she relaxes her jaw and sighs, "But I'd get up the next morning and I'd say, 'well, what am I doing all tftis for? Am I doing this for little strokes on the head, or am I doing it to learn how to act?' Everything he's told me has taught me how to act. I'm here to learn, and constructive criticism is what I get and. .. I wouldn't have the demand be any less." Malgren is one of thousands of people over the past 30 years who've learned some of their acting skills under Ragozzino' s direction and instruction. But not everyone can handle the Ragozzino methods. He tells his students on the first day of classes, "Half of you will drop out." Some of the students who've toughed it out say they stayed because they "love the creative process." And, they guess, "the drop-outs maybe aren't that committed to acting.'' And one thing Ragozzino does expect from his students, they say, is commitment. They refer to his office, and the nameplate on his desk which reads "Commitment" rather than "Ragozzino;" they say it reflects his own level of expectation, and so he expects no less from others. ''He made me explore every nook and cranny of my abilities," says second year student Mantra French-Dickey. Carolyn de France, a second year theater major, never planned on taking more than one class at LCC. Now she says she feels confident she's ready to audition for the American Academy of the Dramatic Arts. "Even if I don't make it, I know I'll give a good audition." The Ragozzino commitment: it helped acting st~dents grow, and it built the Performing Arts complex -- literally. In 1973, the construction of the theater was nearly abandoned. The critically trimmed final construction bid for the theater was still $250,000 over the $1.25 million budget and, says Ragozzino, "people just shook their heads. I made a desperate, last minute suggestion: take $200,000 which had been earmarked for equipment and furniture and classrooms, and put it into the construction of the theater." Then he worked with the architects, "nickle and diming" wherever they could to save the remaining $50,000. He says his reasoning was simple. ''We could do without equipment. We could sit on the floors. We could hold flashlights in the theater. But we could never get a theater two or five years down the line. We would have lost it all." But they didn't lose. Ragozzino and his staff helped design every inch of the complex, and they got exactly what they wanted and needed. In October of 1974, LCC's Theatre came alive, opening with "Godspell, n and bringing the community to the community college. Ragozzino's retirement comes as a surprise to many, but he says it's not the result of any disagreements. Story and photographs by Ann Van Camp "My retirement has nothing to do with anything other than my own interests. My eligibility simply laid the groundwork for some other interests I have, specifically in the areas of broadcasting, voice work, commercials, and production which I've 6een doing sporadically all along." Ragozzino says he'll continue his work as artistic director and vice president of the Eugene Festival of Musical Theater. But here at LCC, he will be, in the words of his students and co-workers, "greatly missed." Music Director Nathan Cammack worked with Ragozzino for six years at South Eugene High School before they both came to LCC eighteen years ago. He says, "Ed has been the cornerstone of the department here, and he's made things work for everybody. He's allowed the staff to do wonderful things, and yet he's given them good guidance." Finding the best replacement may take awhile. Ragozzino declined to say whether or not anyone from his department would be applying. He says he's sure the position will be posted, and anybody can take their shot at it.'' He says his only concern is how knowledgeable the person will be about LCC' s special needs. 1 hope my successor really knows what a community college is. I hope they don't come from a strictly four-year or a graduate-level mentality and try to impose those kind~ of things here. A community college is special.'' 11 11 -~ Page 8 April 25, 1986 The TORCH FRIDAY, APRIL 25 WHOOPI GOLD .., ...: ~ G COMEDY VIDEO - to be shown today in CEN 219, 1-2 p.m. Sponsored by the Women's Center.

On the other hand, they must have coverage when they fly alone. Specifically, coverage includes personal liability, property damage (including medical payments), and hull coverage (similar to collision insurance for a car). Gustafson says students are expected to share some of the risks and responsibilities involved, noting that insurance companies are demanding that people become more responsible for their actions. Also, students must be at least 18 years of age to receive flight training. Students can also learn helicopter maintenance through LCC's Aviation Maintenance program. () . . . () . . .() . . .

"If you've learned to fly in the Enstrom, you can easily step into a more advanced and sophisticated machine; so that makes it a good trainer.'' When deciding on which machine to buy, the FT had to weigh the benefits of these helicopters: a Hiller, a Robinson R22, a Bell 47 and the Enstrom. They chose the Enstrom for two reasons: (1) Cost of insurance, and (2) the quality of the machine. Cost of insurance was '' a principal deciding factor," Gustafson admits. Insurance was least expensive on the Enstrom, running at about $10 000 a year, as opposed to $25,000 a year for one of the other machines. . As for quality, the Enstrom 280C has a four-cylinder, injected and turbo-charged engine with 205 horsepower. "It's a highperformance engine,'' says Gustafson. In the future, the department would like to add more helicopters to its program. "There's no reason why we shouldn't have as many helicopters sitting out here (Mahlon Sweet Airport, where the Ff program is conducted) as we do airplanes," says Gustafson. The college owns seven airplanes that are used in the FT program, he says. "I would like to see the FT program a year from now with another helicopter and then, later on, picking up a jet-powered or turbinetransition type'' of helicopter. TheTORCH April 25, 1986 Page9 Titan men set records in Tacoma LCC hosts meet Saturday by Darren Foss TORCH Sports Editor Many personal records and a couple meet records were set last Saturday, April 19 at the non-scoring Gator Invitational at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma. "We did a good job for a mini-meet,'' according to Titan Coach Harland Yriarte. ' ' Our sprinters are starting to bring their times down. It was a good training meet.'' While the men where competing in Tacoma, the LCC Women's Track team could be found at home preparing for this week's home showdown and healing up. Tomorrow, Saturday April 26, both Titan teams will host a tri-meet with Mt. Hood and Umpqua at 1 p.m. on the • Titan track. Both Titan coaches, Yriarte and Women's Coach Lyndell Wilken see this contest as another training meet in the for preparation NWAACC Region IV Championships two weeks away. Even though it is a training meet doesn't mean Coach Wilken is taking it lightly. ''Whenever we go against Mt. Hood we don't like to lose, so we'll be running to win. I'm doubling up a lot of events to try and hold off Mt. Hood. One problem for the Titan Women comes from Umpqua, "All they are bringing is throwers. That's our strength and where we needed to sweep to 11 counteract Mt. Hood's points on the track. Umpqua will be hurting us, but not Mt. Hood. So the cards aren't falling right in the distribution of points," adds Wilken. According to Coach Wilken Patty Baker, who was out with a hamstring pull, is back jogging and doing easy striding with the team, but will only run the quarter mile this weekend. "Patty's s~ill a big loss in her four events (100, 200, long jump and relay). I don't know if we can overcome it. Mt. Hood will probably beat us." Wilken also received good news, as Melynda Austin will be available for this weekends home meet after overcoming elegibility problems. After the Tacoma meet, Yriarte was concerned over a foot injury suffered by Dennis Garboden in the 800 meter race. He is questionable for this weekend, according to Yriarte. Men's Results Lanay Creech and Pat Lanning both set meet records. Creech won the 400 meters in a lightning quick 49.4, and Lanning won the intermediate hurdles (IH) in 52.5, which was also a personal best. '' Creech is easily the best in the league," comments Coach Yriarte. .- l. --. :r~,;i ;:_, :., Women's Track runner Val Quade leads the way as Jean Neal and Stacey Cooper follows close benind during their practice for Saturday's track meet at LCC at 1 p.m. TRACK EVENTS FIELD EVENTS Javelin- 1, Rick Nelson 189-1.

"We are one of the top hitting teams in the league (averaging .303) along with Clackamas, but they only have one good pitcher. We're hoping Clackamas and Mt.

From Boise, ID, Francis attended Northern Idaho Community College last year, but decided to transfer to Lane to be closer to his high school girlfriend who now attends the U of 0. "We felt the best way to find out how our relationship was gonna go was to be together.'' He learned that while the U of 0 does not have competitive baseball LCC does field a team. Francis met with Coach Bob Foster and committed himself to the team last summer. He says at first he felt like an outsider, and had to earn a spot on the team. But his teammates showed they have accepted him by selecting him as co-captain of the team with Ted Davis. "That really helped me out, knowing that my teammates respect me. They put me in the position where they listen to me once in a while. I help keep the team motivated and the adrenalin up. I feel good, things are really going well," says Francis. "I hope to hit over .400, steal as many bases as I can ... and help the team win.'' He originally wanted to try and steal a base a game, but realized it isn't easy. "I also want to make a little influence on my teammates and hope they notice my positive attitude. Even when I have a bad day I don't get really mad, but instead control myself and accept what happens." "Leo's an outstanding player, and wants to work hard. He's smart on the base paths and always wants to learn. He's a definite plus to the team,'' comments Titan Baseball Coach , Bob Foster. His best asset is his quickness around the bases. Through twelve league games, including last weekend's, he has been achieving his goals. He leads the Titans in stolen bases with see Francis, page 11 Seattle, WA 9s12s-1144 •Routine legal matters (uncontested divorce, name changes, wills, etc.) •Advocacy (tenant rights, welfare, etc.} •Advice and referral (criminal matters, etc.) Attorney Available Tuesday through Friday, by appointment, on the 2nd floor of the Center Building, ext. 2340.

I was hitting real good on the California trip and it's starting to come around again. I'm still see~ng the ball well. I'm more of an on-base hitter instead of a power hitter. If I get the ball in play somewhere I'll just try and run it out," says Francis. Last weekend he showed an unusual burst of power, hitting the first two home runs of his college career, against Linn-Benton at home. Francis is a Physical Education major at Lane with the goal of becoming a baseball coach, and is attaining good experience as co-captain of the Titans. He also has a good example in Coach Foster. "I like him a lot. He's got a lot of baseball knowledge, and I'm learning a lot of coaching techniques from him. He'll listen to new ideas, tell you what he thinks about them, and treats his players like friends, I like that. He'll also yell at us to get us going when we need it, but he's a friend and a nice guy, too," comments Francis. Feeling go9d about the team's play this season, Francis thinks it has a lot of potential. After a 2-6 start during the California trip the Titans have won 10 of their last 16, and have stayed in the race for the NWAACC Southern Division title. "Things are coming around. We're winning the first game of most of our double-headers now. We need to sweep at home and at least split on the road," says Francis. "This is the best group of guys I've ever played with. It's a solid team. We have the potential to win our region, and if we do we'll probably go all. the way (and win the NWAACC Championship)." But he's not sure where he will go after this season. "I don't know right now, it really doesn't depend on how well I do this season. I'm just waiting on a scho1arship now, that's my goal," explains Francis. "If somebody wants me to come play then I will. But I'm also open to just finish my education.'' Francis continues, "I really like the new things I am learning" -- from dealing with teammates, organizing road trips, to working on fields. "I'd like to keep playing just so I can continue to learn all the little things I wouldn't normally think about. It also helps me organize my time through school.'' ''He's got potential to play some pro ball and some colleges will be naturally after him," says Foster. Francis is a well balanced player with certain goals, and if he keeps up what he is doing he will definitely achieve them -- including helping lead the Titans to the Northwest Championship. 74 VEGA $150 or best offer.

Tickets are $6, $7, and $8, with prices increasing as distance from the stage diminishes. The movie '' Clan of the Cave Bear" was a bad attempt at putting an excellent book onto the wide screen. I'm glad that the TORCH paid my way into this "film." If I hadn't, I woufd still be kicking myselt tor wasting my money. The basic story line has the Clan, a small group of apelike people, finding a small, badly injured girl from another group of people referred to by the Clan as the "Others." The "Others" have a more humanistic appearance than , members of the Clan. The girl, Ayla, had been injured by a large "cave lion" while running from the earthquake that had killed her family. She was almost dead when the Clan found her and took her in. About 10 to 15 minutes later, she was a full grown woman and had been living with the Clan for 11 or 12 years, thus dispensing with about half of the book. Much of the movie was based on brutal rapes and violence directed toward Ayla by Braud, son of the leader. In this society, when a man needed to '' relieve his needs'' with a woman, it was the woman's duty to accomodate him. The story line in the movie was completely changed from that of the book. For instance, at the end of the movie Ayla beat up Braud -a happier ending, but not true to the original story line. Also, while the clan memebers did look slightly different than normal humans, they looked nothing like the book described them. They were supposed to have high foreheads, no chins, and a short, stocky build. Instead, they looked short but otherwise normal. If I were Jean Auel (the Oregonian author of the book) I would be walking around with a bag over my head for awhile. Though the low quality of the movie is not her fault, a movie-goer . who hadn't read the book might make that assumption. I rate the movie a one (out of a possible four), and strongly suggest reading the book instead. needed to split open some stomachs, blast a few heads off, and toss in a mutilated • arm or two if they wanted to make a buck.

So, m th~ end, they blast_ the ~hole neighbo~hood strai9ht mto the skylme, sendmg b~th ~ood guys and bad guys with 1t. Then they seek out the leader of the bad guys, hopelessly mangling his home-based drug produci~~ scene, too. Michael Mann, executive producer for both "Miami Vice" and "Band of the Hand," supposedly was extremely attracted to the story, and says, "Here you have five basically criminal sub-culture juveniles coming together and healing themselves ... ,, If, once they're "healed," these people feel compelled to band together and exterminate anyone who bothers them, I wonder just how well they really are. Doesn't their "new" philosophy sound a little old? I give it two stars. TORCH Staff Writer ] ~ ~ o ·g ..s ~ o -.,., ] The Human Dance Company performs -at the Hult Center at 7:30 on Friday, May 2.

They don't just dance with their bodies, they dance with their Andre says faces,'' Carpenter, artistic director and founder of The Human Dancing Company.

'Band of the Hand' adds too much 'pepper' by Kelli J. Ray TORCH Entertainment Editor From eel-eating in the Everglades to machinegunning madness in Miami, "Band of the Hand" keeps the action rolling. If you like Miami Vice, you might like this movie. Then again, you .,.n ight not. ''Band of the Hand,'' now : playing at Cinema World, mixes the theories of a social scientist with the fast-paced slickness of Miami Vice, then peppers it all with gun play and gang warfare. The story starts out straightforwardly enough. Five young men, all tough street survivors (from Miami, of course) are judged incorrigible by the juvenile courts and sent to a special deten- • tion program in the Florida Everglades. There, they meet their leader and the caretaker of the project, who is deter-. mined to find the good in them. They have two choices: shape up and learn to cooperate with each other in order to survive, or die. So they shape up. They gain self-esteem, and learn to work as a team. So far, so good. If the producers had stopped there, the plot would have made sense. But this is 1986. Actionpacked chase scenes, bombs, blood, and commercialized slickness sell tickets. So the movie folks decided they From left to right: Nikki (Lauren Holly), Moss (Leon Robinson), Carlos (Daniele Quinn, lying on ground), Ruben (Michael Car- mine) and]. L.
