Why students withdraw

by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Staff Writer

With the term half over,
most students already know
whether they'll drop or keep
the classes they' re enr~lled
in. What are some of the
reasons students choose to
drop classes, or even drop
school altogether?
According to Corilee
Heinis, advisor for student
retention, this kind of information hasn't been welldocumented in the past.
Students '' often choose to
see a counselor before they
leave, but it's up to the
counselor whether they note

it on the withdrawal form or

Tight er regulations clarified
by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Staff Writer

The tightening of rules and
regulations in the Financial
Aid Department has some
students and staff members
upset.
According to Martin Lewis,
director of the Student
Resource Center across the
hall, "some of the students
that I've talked to who have
received financial aid at other
schools state-wide, feel that
LCC has more strict financial
aid policy than other schools
they've attended.''
Evelyn Tennis,
administrative assistant for Student Services, agrees that
some students are outspoken
about their discontent with
LCC' s policies. "I can see the
frustration the students are
feeling, and see their confusion.
''There have been people
notified that they were on
probation who weren't really. And as far as I know, they
used to have more chances to
pull their grades up."
Linda Waddell, director of
Financial Aid, says that
'' students must understand
that they have responsibility
for completing their own
classes." College policy

hasn't changed, she says -it's just being adhered to
now.
''When we first started enforcing the existing policy,
students thought we were
rigid," says Waddell. And so
did some staff members.
Waddell
says
that
previously, ''staff members
would use their own judgement'' to decide whether a
student continued to receive
funding if he or she completed less than 75 percent of
the classes they enrolled in
during the probationary
period. Policy guidelines
weren't always followed,
and '' students were being
treated inconsistently, Waddell says.
Often, there was no paperwork on record to document
the reasons for these decisions. "The staff was not requiring students to file appeals. In the case of an audit,
there would be no basis for
our judgement,' Waddell
says.
Now, "we're being asked
to do a lot more processing
and a lot more paperwork,
to comply with regulations,
she says.
But Waddell says LCC
policies aren't set up to make

The TORCH

LCC suffers when
students lack funds

The TORCH believes it would be to the college's advantage
to take whatever steps are necessary to help students qualify
for, and keep, financial aid benefits. The college bleeds and
suffers a little with each student who must leave school for
lack of funds.
We support Director of Financial Aid Linda Wad dell in her
efforts to comply with all federal regulations, and provide
necessary documentation . The college is still threatened with
a near half-million dollar federal debt due to past carelessness
in the department. This situation must not be repeated.
While it's necessary to comply with federally mandated
regulations, the college would do well to balance this by providing every possible assistance to students who sincerely
wish to attend college. A multiplicity of situations can cause
low grades -- births, deaths, broken hearts, illnesses,
wayward children, aging parents -- and the first couple terms
back in school after 10 or 20 years can be quite disorienting.
Both hiring a few more staff members to assist students,
either in Counseling or Financial Aid, and interpreting
federal regulations with as much leniency as possible, would
help more students stay in school.
The college would benefit as much as the students.

'Taste l~'

To the Editor:
This letter is in response to
the printing of Mr.
Groceries' remark on page
one of the April 18 edition of
the TORCH.
I will not address the rather
juvenile and simplistic statement about the President of
the United States in the first
sentence. I, rather, would
like to discuss the actual
printing of such a statement
by a responsible and
''award-winni ng'' community
college
campus
newspaper.
I strongly believe that the
3Plection and publication of
1ch a statement exhibits
ry irresponsible, tasteless,
t1d utterly unprofessional
journalism by the staff of the
TORCH!
In the future, please, do
subscribe a bit closer to the
established standards and
value guidelines of professional and responsible journalism.

Helpful info

Dear Editor,
As part of a continuing effort to make easier the
transfer of LCC students to
the University of Oregon, I
recently attended a transfer
workshop directed by
Charlene BliI}.n of your
counseling office.
I want to let LCC students
know how accurate and
helpful this meeting was; if
any student attends, and
J ollows up, if need be, by
checking individual plans
with Charlene, she should be
able to sail through the

AIDS 'logic'

Dear TORCH,
I feel compelled to respond
to Michael Cross's letter
(TORCH 4-18).
• Mr. Cross seems to think
he has the answer regarding
AIDS. He says "safe sex"
and '' no drug use'' will prevent one from acquiring
AIDS.
I guess he hasn't heard
about the young man in Illinois who has become an
outcast in his own community because he has acquired
AIDS. However, this young
man is not guilty of
premarital sex or illegal drug
use. He is guilty of needing a
blood transfusion.
Is this young man condemned to being an outcast
all his life? Is he expected to
seek companionshi p only
from others with AIDS? For
something he had no control
over?
It's too bad Mr. Cross
didn't attend the informative
AIDS forum here at LCC on
April 3. He would have been
able to talk to some
knowledgeable people about
the medical aspects of AIDS,
and some representative s
from support groups in the
community. Perhaps Mr.
Cross is afraid of becoming
too informed, at which point
his "logic" would simply not
hold up. Come on, Michael,
get the facts!
Robert Ward
ASLCC Treasurer
Editor's Note: Michael
Cross, in his 4/18 letter, did
point out the possibility of
contracting AIDS through
blood transfusions.

Pride Week

Dear editor:
It would be a shame if a
major community event
went unreported in LCC' s
student newspaper. Unfortunately, very little news
coverage has been granted to
Eugene's Gay and Lesbian
Pride Week, beginning this
Sunday, May 4, and concluding May 11.
Yet, for gay men, lesbians
and bisexuals (and others interested in learning more
about America's most
misunderstoo d minority),
Eugene's Gay and Lesbian
Pride Week has for years
been perhaps the most important week of the year.
Unfortunately, in a tradition of voluntary selfcensorship, the mainstream
media have generally ignored the event -- much as
the heterosexual majority ignore (and even ban from
schools) the wealth of objective information available
about their gay partners in
society.
Some of that information
will be made available in

AIDS, stereotypes, myths,
the history of gays in society,
the private struggle of

celebrating this week. Why
celebrate "Gay Pride?" Just
as the fight for human

"Some of the best people
you'll find on this campus,"
says Information Specialist
Jerry Sirois about the Student Service Associates.
These trained helpers, who
wear the red T-shirts with big
black question marks on the
front during registration
week, work with the
Counseling Department staff
to help connect students to
the services they need.
Student Associates also
help disabled students with
note-taking, reading, and
mobility. Associates also offer information and referral
at counseling counter, as
well as career assistance at
the Downtown Center Student Services Area. And they
offer one-to-one tutoring for
Study Skills Classes.
So what's in it for the
students who provide all
these services? Associates are
paid for their work, partly
through work-study funds
and partly through general
college funds. There is also
Cooperative Work Experience credit for those who
qualify. And they also get
training and experience in
helping people as well as the
opportunity to work as a
member of a supportive
team.

Students interested in
becoming Associates must
fill out an application, attaching a copy of their
academic transcript and a
statement of their reasons for
wanting to be an Associate.
Students must then be inter. viewed individually, and by
a group.
This year's application
deadline will be May 2. The
first three-day training session will be held May 12-16.
Decisions will be made by

conventions, and judging the

The organization's theme for

Torch wins award
by Karen Irmsher

TORCH Editor

For the fourth straight year, the TORCH has received a
"First Place with Special Merit" in the American Scholastic
Press Association's Annual Review and Contest Awards for
scholastic newspapers.
In the category of junior and community colleges with
enrollment 2501 and over, only one other entry received the
''First Place with Special Merit'' award -- ''Impact'' from San
Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, Calif.
The awards are based on points awarded for content
coverage, general plan, page design, editing, art, and
creativity. Of a possible 1000 points, the TORCH scored 985.
The special merit designation was given to papers who
scored above 900.
TORCH advisor Pete Peterson remarks, "Contests by
themselves don't necessarily mean anything, but when a
newspaper wins one four years in a row it does. We've got
good people who are conscientious and work very hard."
TORCH editor Karen Irmsher counters, "Maybe it doesn't
mean anything to win, but it sure feels a lot better than not
winning."

May 30, and a second threeday training session will be
held June 13-15 at Heceta
House on the Oregon coast.
Associates must be available
for work on Sept. 1, and train
that month for 3 to 4 hours
daily .

Associates must also attend ongoing training at
weekly staff meetings, tentatively set for Thursdays
from 3:00 to 4:30, and they
must commit themselves to
hard work.

Mt. Pisggh/LCC event

Wildflower show

by Jason Cobb

TORCH Staff Writer

Spring is here - along with the annual LCC Wildflower
show, to be held Sunday, May 18 at the Mt. Pisgah Arboretum.
''The main purpose of the flower show is to increase the
general appreciation of wildflowers that grow here in Lane
County," says instructor of biological science Freeman Rowe.
''In addition, we are trying to educate people as to what is
here, and also educate them about endangered species of
flowers .''
"Also," Rowe says, "if people have flowers they would
like to have identified, there will be a table set up to that purpose."
Rowe encourages everyone to come to the flower show
because he believes that it will be an educational, enjoyable
experience for everyone. A second show will be held on Monday, May 19.
The free Sunday show runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m .. During
the show the Mt. Pisgah Arboretµm Society will be selling
Sunset Magazines, refreshments and other items to raise
funds for the Arboretum.

that it's important to see the
distinction. ''The first is the
political issue,'' the tightening of regulations. The second, in his opinion, is '' the
personality conflicts between
Linda Wad dell (director of
Financial Aid) and the staff."
Four staff members have
left the financial aid department since May of 1985 -one, Judy Hill, as recently as
April 18. And during that
time, another has asked for a
leave of absence.
Shinn says, "I don't want
to be unfair to Linda. People
had legitimate complaints
about our practices under
(former director) Francis
Howard, and we were not
above error. But whether or
not changes had to go in the
direction that Linda wanted
is debatable."
'' A lot of Linda's policies
are too extreme, and she has
an often heavy-handed way
of dealing with policy and
staff.''
According to another
former employee, Susan
McCallum-Hogue, LCC now
has an unnecessarily strict
policy when it comes to cutting students from the financial aid program if they stumble academically.
''In the past, if a student
fell below nine credits, or
had a GPA below 1.75, a student could submit a written
explanation and we would
review the circumstances to
decide what to do from
there." According to Financial Aid' s December 1985
brochure, this is still the official policy.
''If a student already had
four or five good terms, we
would be able to see that,
because we would have
transcripts in front of us. We

could look at the history and
give him or her another
chance," McCall um-Hogue
explains.
"But suddenly, under Linda, we were given lists of
names of those to be dropped. No transcripts, no case
histories, no documentation
whatsoever. As far as she is
concerned, there is no grey
area. A student is either in or
out."
. According to McCallumHogue, this caused a lot of
problems, '' especially in
cases where instructors had
to leave town due to death or
illness without turning in
their grades for students. A
student would find him or
herself on the drop list
through no fault of her or his
own, and would be notified
that aid was now cut off.
''There was also less consideration for special circumstances, like death or
divorce. Linda told us that
nothing less than a threeweek stay in the hospital,
with a doctor's note, would
be an acceptable excuse. I'm
sure she'll deny it now,
though. Students can appeal
the decision, but since fewer
students are being reinstated
once they' re dropped, many
feel it's no longer to their advantage to go through the
process.''
However, according to
McCallum-Hogue, these
weren't her reasons for quitting. "We had a very highstress job, and behind the
scenes, we needed calm.
With Linda, there was no
calm. I came into work one
day and was told that I no
longer had a permanent
work spot -- every Monday, I
would be assigned a new
work station.
'' Aside from those impersonal lists of names to be
dropped, I didn't have my
own desk. When I had to
take the picture of my girls
home, I knew I couldn't do
this anymore."
Shinn adds that the disruption in the office benefits no
one, and that '' office policy
had a direct affect on how we
helped the students."
Not all employees in the
financial aid office are

Jack Carter, vice president
of Student Services, says that
in his opinion, Wad dell is a
"very competent, highly
qualified financial aid administrator. The managing of
a financial aid office is a very
complex, difficult task. I've
been pleased with Linda's
leadership in this office.
"She understands, as well
as anyone in the state, the
Financial Aid regulations.
She understands that the intent is to provide students
with financail aid, yet at the
same time the financial aid
agencies are demanding
standards of academic progress. The challenge is to
keep these in balance and insure that students are provided their opportunity to go
to this institution and not put
the institution at a risk."
Carter is aware of the staff
turnover
and
says,
"Anytime that there's a
significant turnover, we
want to look at what the
reasons are, and determine if
there are, in fact, some corrections that can be made in
the office environment,
whether it's the management
or something else.''

unhappy with either Waddell or the current policies.
Linda Dewitt, data control
specialist, says that concerning Waddell's understanding
of current financial aid
regulations, "she's very well
grounded.
'' Our satisfactory academic
progress standards are really
fair. A lot of students come to
LCC with a minimum of
commitment. It's important
to know who those people
are right away.'' Dewitt adds
that she enjoys working
under Waddell because
"she's very fair. She's allowing me to grow and develop
in my own direction.''
''I am extremely contented
working here," says another
current employee, Karen
Schwartzrock, financial aid' s
work study advisor. "I feel
that Linda is very professional. Financial aid is going
to students who are making
the most out of their education."

Carolyn de France admits she's like Bianca, the
character she plays in the LCC production of
"Taming of the Shrew" -- or vice-versa.
She's energetic -- and just a bit bratty.
She says being the youngest of four children
has helped her in the role of Bianca. Traditionally, Bianca is a submissive character, but "I have
taken her and played her to the hilt. I give Kate
(Bianca's sister) a reason to be a shrew."
Every youngest child knows the tactic. In order
to get attention, you have to be a little louder, a
little more outrageous and sometimes just plain
bratty.
Is this the reason de France auditioned for the
supporting role, and not the lead? "I like the role
of Bianca, because I get to put more oomph into
it. I'm having fun up there. Because it is a smaller
part, I have more time to work with it; more time
to invent and do things on stage instead of worrying about memorizing lots of dialogue.''
The plot of Shakespeare's play concerns two
sisters. The older, Kate, is ill-tempered, to say the
least, and her father despairs of ever getting her
married. He has decreed that no one may court
the younger, docile Bianca, until the elder
shrewish Kate is married.
Bianca is enjoying the attentions of three
suitors, flirting brazenly when her father's back is
turned: she gazes coyly and demurely from
under lashes when her father is present.
De France says of the three suitors, "Hortensia
and Gremio have been around for years. But then
a new suitor, Lucentio, comes on the scene, and
he's like 'new meat.' I treat him like that, and I
get to chase HIM!"
She uses her low-cut dress and cleavage to
good advantage, moving her body provacatively
in the scene where she bounces back and forth
between Lucentio and Hortensia. "The only
down part of this play is wearing the corset. At
first it was great to have cleavage, but after three

and a half hours, I feel like I've been run over by
a steamroller.''
One of the most difficult scenes for de France is
fighting with Kate. Besides being tied with rope,
de France must endure the constraints of the corset, making it difficult to get enough air to "spit
out" her lines. "It takes more energy to pretend
to hit Kate than it would take to actually hit her."
The Hollywood Cafe

De France's stage experience has been varied.
After her movie debut, at the tender age of six
weeks, she continued to perform during her formative years. Among her roles at South Eugene
High, was the lead in "Star Spangled Girl," a
Neil Simon play, in 1983.
Other plays included, "Talk to Me Like the
Rain" and "Let Me Listen," by Tennessee
Williams, "Bedroom Farce," by Allen Aykborn,
an English playwright.
De France was determined to continue her
training in college, but money was scarce. At the
time, her mother had cancer, causing a financial
hardship on the family. When Tom Lasswell,
Theatre Director at the University of Portland offered her a scholarship, Carolyn saw it as a way
to continue her education, and made the move to
Portland.
Waitress work at the "Hollywood Cafe," provided further training: In order to get better tips
to supplement her scanty income, she performed
a soft shoe routine for the customers, using a
carpet sweeper as a cane, singing and dancing at
all the tables. The tips were big, and she became
well-known for her impromptu routines.
Unfortunately, one of two cafe managers didn't
approve, and told her to stop or lose her job. She
stopped.
De France sees her career as a long ladder, with
each new play sending her further up. "Being
disciplined is the key to acting," she says. "I
think educational theatre is so wonderful; I appreciate the discipline. It teaches you to be in
rehearsal on time, to know your lines, to take .
direction, to start creating, and to articulate.

"I think that's the reason so many people don't
succeed in this field ... I've got to keep being
committed, to _k eep on learning; to keep
disciplining myself. Hopefully, I will keep exploring different possibilites .... '' One of her goals is
to attend the American Acadamy of Dramatic
Arts, for which she is auditioning May 5.
"Carolyn's an actor with a lot of energy,"
states director Patrick Torrelle. "Often times you
have to kind of rein her in. She bubbles -- she's
fairly bursting with energy. She's hardly even
aware that she has that much. She uses that
energy to develop her other skills.''
"There's always always room at the top, for someone with her energy and desire, because she
works hard a~ it," he says. "For those who finally
make it, perseverance makes the difference, not
talent, not who you know.''

''The down part of the play is wearing a corset.''

Dan White supervises advanced students.
These students are working in the jewelry lab located next to the Annex Building
here on campus, where beginning and advanced jeweler metalsmith students work
and learn side-by-side.
Beginning students first learn the different processes for embellishing metal
surfaces -- etching, engraving, stamping, grinding, to name a few. Their first
assignment is to produce a ring band made form a 3" x 1/2" strip of metal.
They solder together the ends of the strip, then place it on a ring mandrel,
which is a solid cone-shaped piece of metal, and pound it into shape with a
rawhide hammer.
Advanced students work on projects under supervision and direction of
instructor Dan White.

Bill White is about to attempt the first steel casting of the year.

The students can use scrap metal, buy their own metal, or melt down unwanted
objects to create new work.
White explains the process of silver plating to John Fisk who wants to silverplate a copper stamped ring he produced.
•
White pours methanol absolute into a plastic container, then connects a positive
connection to a silver anode, and a negative connection to the ring. Then he
immerses both connectors in the container.
White sends a two volt charge into the solution, causing the silver to jump from
the anode onto the piece of jewelry, and within 20 minutes the copper ring is
silver plated.
Across the lab, student Bill White is getting ready for the first steel casting of the
year. He is not creating a piece of jewelry, but a tool for use in another jewelry
process. He explains that most steel casting is done in a foundry where the heat
reaches much higher temperatures. ''I'm experimenting,'' he admits.
String wax or sheet wax is often used to create forms for the casting process.
Instructor White explains that the form is placed in a rubber cup and a type of
plaster is poured over it to create a mold.
•
After the plaster dries, the mold is placed in a furnace that reaches 1200 degrees
Fahrenheit for one hour, thereby burning the wax form out of the mold.
The plaster mold is then placed sideways on the spring-loaded arm of the
centrifugal casting machine, and the metal to be used is melted in a little cup next
to the mold with a 6,000 degree torch. When the machine is released, sending the
arm of the machine spinning, the centrifugal force thrusts the liquid metal into the
mold. The mold is then immersed in water to dissolve the plaster and expose the
finished work.
Meanwhile Gloria Mathieson files strips of nickel for her windchimes and
comments on the variety of equipment used in the lab -- there is even a machine
that cuts marbles in half so students can use them for jewelry making, she says.

at shapes a potter's life ?

Bruce Wild, ceramics instructor, adds the finishing touches.

Fourteen years and about 60 tons of clay after it began, the LCC Pottery
Sale continues.
Pottery instructor Bruce Wild remembers starting the very first pottery
sale back in 1971. "It was difficult to get money for special projects that the
students wanted to try, so we sold our pots and all the money went into a
special project fund. Today, 15-30 percent of the sales profits is held out
depending on what the needs of the shop are.''
Pottery class students, individual students, and faculty members will
participate in the two-day sale May 6 and 7. About 10 potters will feature
works in porcelin, stoneware, and "raku" -- a special finish created in the
firing process. Goblets, vases, dishes, lamps, kitchen ware, and much
more can be found in the cafeteria -- all very durable items which can
stand extreme heat, and selling at very reasonable prices, says Wild. And
each having its own personality.
When he studied Art Education at Central Washington State University,
Wild attempted his first pottery class in 1960. "I took it as an elective
which had no prerequisite," says Wild. He remembers the class, it had
only four potters' wheels for six students.
Since then he become a master, developing a depth of understanding
about the art over nearly 20 years. And he says he continues to learn
through teaching.
But he hadn't become expert in one area.
i-Ie knew how to prepare the clay he bought from the manufacturer.
how to throw the pot, dry, trim, fire, glaze, fire again, and even sell the
pots. Wild is responsible for nearly all aspects of the process.
"Potters find little leisure time," says Wild "but sometimes leisure is an
aspect of the work.'' The work is what shapes a potter's life. Potters are
kind of like farmers. They have their off season and their lives in general
are based around their work. "We don't get weekends off," says Wild,
"and potters really don't plan out their lives. We're kind of out on a limb,
we don't follow the norm of today's society.
"It's the hardest thing I've done in my life. Sometimes I still feel
inadequate about my pottery, but I'm always improving."
In 1975, 1977, and 1981, Wild worked with Harry Davis, a famous
English potter in Ridgecrest, C.A. "Davis made everything look easy, I
thought he should jump for joy over everything he made. I wanted to be
that good.
"Sometimes you can't see the forest through the trees. You get hidden
in your work, and it's hard to look at your own work with fresh eyes.'' He
says at one time Japanese potters looked at their work with fresh eyes
because everyone played a part in the process -- one person would throw
the pot, another would glaze, and so on. But it's more personal for Wild.
It's in a potter's personality to spend a lot of time alone. "You really get
to know yourself, you don't mind your own company, you're friends with
yourself. Potters develop a respectful type of relationship with the clay.
"It's the working with something such as the earth that I enjoy," says
Wild.
Which is why, until five years ago, Wild did not feel he knew all aspects
of his work.
He leans back in his office chair, surrounded by clay speckled walls, the
air smelling like muddy earth. He explains that he wanted to be selfsufficient but couldn't find information about natural resources in the area
to produce his own clay and glazes.

"No one knew where to get the information (about local clays). It was
virtually unavailable.'' So he searched wherever he could.
He took a leave of absence from teaching for one term in 1981, during
which he conducted field research in Nothem California, Southern
Washington and Oregon. With some help from Chris Gum, a pottery
instructor who teaches night classes here at LCC, Wild was able to find
clay deposits and granite type rocks to produce his own clay and glazes.
Wild now digs for clay on private land near Elmira and trades the owner
of the land his pots for the privilege of using the soil.
After Wild digs the clay he mixes it with water in 50 gallon drums. He
strains it to a finer material. Then he lets it sit, permitting it to settle for
several months. In the summer, usually from June thru August the clay is
laid out on wooden frames. The clay sits for about 5-6 weeks until it firms
up to a good working consistency.
''It's such an innovative idea, it wouldn't have been possible for the
school to participate without the support of Roger McAlister, head of the
Art and Appied Design Department. "As far as I know we're the only
college in the country that has such a program,'' says Wild.
For local glazes, Wild gathers the granite type rocks from Mt. Ashland.
He places them into a roller mill -- a machine he's produced with the help
of Tom Baker, an LCC machine shop instructor -- which crushes the rocks,
reducing their size to about 1/4 inch. These he puts through a vertical
grinding machine, then through a "ball mill," to reduce the material to
fine texture. . After the material is finished it can be mixed with other
ingredients to produce a glaze. All the equipment used was produced by
Wild for LCC's ceramics classes.
"All of our assistants learn the basics, and they're getting that
information when they should -- early. When they start with what's real,''
he adds for emphasis, "everything falls into place and there is no longer
reason for fear.
There seems to be a fallacy of education,'' says Wild.' 'People don't know
where things come from, and much of what students learn in schools is
alien."
In throwing a pot, "You use your hands, head, and heart -- a real valued
experience," says Wild. In the last 20 years the joy of teaching still
sparkles brightly for Wild.
"He's a model of precision for me," says LCC pottery aide Caryn
Deschbach. ''He spends a lot of time thinking about how well the clay will
work in your hands, the form of the pot, right down to the placement of
the handles. He stays real grounded to all aspects of the pot's usage,'' she
says.
Through research, experimenting, and a lot of hard work, Wild has
solved the problem that has caused his frustration. He is now a totally selfsufficient potter.
''There is a new freedom involved for me now. I fully understand what
it is that I do and it's the real thing."

Bruce Wild shows off his fancy hand work.

Powell protects students

by Darren Foss

TORCH Sports Editor

This is the first part of a two-part series on the controversy
over the drug testing of athletes.
Drug testing and students rights have become hot
topics in the LCC Athletic Department due to the concerns of LCC English Instructor Bill Powell.
At the April LCC Board of Education Meeting, Powell
stood up for students' rights after finding out that a
behind-the-back drug testing policy has been implemented during Fall Term 1985 without the board's
approval.
Instead, the policy was developed by Athletic Trainer
Janet Anderson, approved
by the coaches and
Athletic Director Sue
Thompson, then sent to
Vice President Jack Carter,
who put it into effect
without first going
through the board.
Powell became concerned that student's rights
might be violated and let
his concerns be known by
the board.
''It's my opinion that the
Bill Powell
testing is probably illegal
and certainly unjustly imposed on students who upon
entering LCC, whether on scholarship or simply being
admitted into a given athletic program, were not informed of this mandatory testing.''
Thompson, although not present at the meeting,
defended her position by saying, "The board doesn't
have to approve all athletic policies. It was Jack's
(Carter) decision in the beginning not to take it to the
board since it wasn't necessary."
However, Powell emphasized that his interest is not
whether drug testing should or should not take place at
LCC, but instead whether there is a board policy that
makes it legal to test students.
Thompson, who received a copy of Powell's board
statement comments, "Powell did make some valid
points. I think it's neat that somebody speaks up and
asks hard questions. I think it was appropriate that the
board's action was to direct us to have the LCC lawyer
(Harold Harms) look at it.''
So drug testing was suspended until Harms had a
chance to evaluate the draft's legality.
In a letter to President Turner, Harms said, ''The LCC
draft (on drug testing) appears to be excellent for our
purposes, and further appears to respond to all constitutional and legal concerns." Harms also revealed,
''It js not necessarily required that the policy be adopted
by the board to be valid and enforceable. I doubt that
other policies that the Athletic Department develops,
also enforceable by sanctions, are adopted as board
policy.''
So for the past couple weeks, since the board meeting,
Thompson and Anderson have been ironing out the
details on a complete drug test policy that will be clear
and cover every one of Powell's concerns. Thompson
hoped to have the new policy in its final form and approved by next week so it can possibly be implemented
during the rest of Spring Term.
However, as Powell points out, "I've been assured by
President Turner and Vice President Carter that before
any drug test policy is implemented by LCC, that myself
and anyone else, who has shown interest or concern,
will be give~ a copy of the statement for input."
Due to this, the policy probably won't be put into effect until Fall Term, 1986.

Quade sets the pace at Lane Titan sluggers split

league double-header

by Darren Foss

TORCH Sports Editor

Freshman Val Quade, one
of the Titan Women's Track
team's leading middle
distance runners, was one of
the most sought after runners in the state last year.
LCC Women's Track
Coach Lyndell Wilken was
fortunate enough to recruit
her from Churchill High last
spring to run in the blue and
white of LCC.
"I wasn't sure what I
wanted to do," says Quade.
"I only knew I wasn't ready
for a four-year college.'' So
with Wilken' s guidance she
decided to come to Lane.
Quade is still undecided
about a major, but is leaning
toward Physical Education.
Quade has been running
since her freshman year in
high school, but admits, "In
ninth grade it was just for
fun.': Since then she has
started taking track more
seriously, and is improving
every year. Quade runs the
800, 1500 and 3000 meters for
the Titans' Track team.
''I feel my best event and
favorite is the 1500," says
Quade.
During the fall, Quade
helped the LCC Women's
Cross Country team to the
Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges
(NWAACC) Championship.
At the Northwest Championship meet she finished
second on the team behind
second-year veteran Diana
Nicholas, and took an impressive 11th place overall in
the Northwest with a time of
19:17 over the 5000 meter
course.
As a member of the
Women's Track team, she
has already qualified for the
NW Championship Meet,
May 16-17 in Spokane
Wash., in the 1500 with a fast
time of 4:49.0 and the 3000
meters in 10:29.7.
Just last Saturday, April 26,
at Lane's only home meet,
Quade also qualified in the
800, finishing second with a
time of 2:24.7.
Qualifying for the Northwest Meet was one of her
goals for the season, but she
isn't satisfied with her running overall so far. "I don't.
feel I'm in great shape yet. I
am capable of better times.''
Her personal best in the 800
is 2:20; 1500 is 4:40, and she
can run the 3000 meters in
10:20 when in top form.
''I hope to win all of my
events and help the team
out. Team-wise, I think we
can beat Mt. Hood if we pull
together and work as hard as
we can,'' says Quade.
Quade thinks the team is
doing well, considering it has
lost at least 15 runners to
school and work.
The team has also had a
hard time staying healthy,

The Titan Baseball team finally got back into action Tuesday, April 29, with a double-header split against the
Clackamas Cougars after last weekend's action was rained
out. The split left the Titans record even at 7-7 in the league
(third place), and 13-13 overall.
The Titans will try and make up for the Sunday, April 27,
non-league double-header rain-out this Sunday, May 4,
against the Linfield Junior Varsity Wildcats on the Titan field
at 1 p.m., weather permitting.
Lane 7, 5; Clackamas 4, 7;
Ed Howarth led the Titan attack in game one, going threefor-four from the plate, including two home runs, scoring
three runs and collecting four RBI.
Atter a first inning home run, Howarth came up in the
sixth, with the score tied 4-4, and slammed the game-winning
hit as Lane won 7-4.
Bill Townsend came in relief for Pat Littlefield in the sixth to
pick up the win.
In game two, the Cougars came back to steal a 7-5 victory in
12 innings.
The Titans fell behind early, 3-0 in the second inning, but
Don Pruitt clubbed a two-run home run in the bottom of the
second to cut the Cougars lead to 3-2. CCC added another
run in the fourth to take a 4-2 lead, but Lane tied it up with
single runs in the fifth and seventh to force extra innings tied
4-4.
The Titans botched many opportunities, leaving 16 men on
base for the game. Townsend came in as relief pitcher in the
seventh and pitched a good four innings before suffering his
first loss of the season. The Cougars scored three unearned
runs in the top of the 12th. Lane tried to rally in the bottom of
the 12th, but fell two runs short for a final score of 7-5.
Aaron Helfrich led the Titans going three-for-five from the
plate with a double and two singles, while Jason Link~r and
Pruitt collected two hits each. •

SOMETIMES IT TAKES
N ARMY TO PAY BACK
YOUR COLLEGE LOAN.
Paying back your college loan can be a long,
uphill battle. But the Army's Loan Repayment
Program makes it easy.
Each year you serve as a soldier, the Army will
reduce your college debt by 1/3 or $1,500, whichever
amount is greater. So after serving just 3 years, your
college loan will be completely paid off.
You're eligible for this program with a National
Direct Student Loan or a Guaranteed Student Loan
or a Federally Insured Student Loan made after
October 1, 1975. And the loan can't be in default.
And just because you've left college, don't think
you'll stop learning in the Army. Our skill training
offers a wealth of valuable high,tech, career,oriented
skills. Call your local Army Recruiter to find out more

Page 10 May 2, 1986 The TORCH

Hendriksen to speak
by Karen Irmsher

TORCH Editor

Margie Hendriksen
Congressional Candidate
4th Congressional District

Margie Hendriksen, a
Democratic candidate for
the House of Representatives, will speak in the
Boardroom May 6, 1986 at
noon.
Hendriksen has supported the establishment
business
small
of
assistance centers at community colleges, as well as
legislation to encourage
investment in Oregonowned businesses.
She supports financial
aid and guaranteed loans
for students.
This event is sponsored
by the ASLCC.

Catfood now has zippurrs
Dear Annabanana,
I recently bought a sack of
dry cat food and it has a
nylon zipper across the top!
At first, I thought it had
replaced the string, but it
hadn't. The string was still
there, below the zipper.
Would you tell me what in
the world manufacturers
hope to gain with such
silliness?
Sincerely,
Unstrung Hero
Dear UH,
The world's been ready f(?r
catfood zippers for a long
time: Consumers are tired of
just being strung along.
Cat owners used to have to
twiddle with stitched strings
to get the bags open to feed
their cats. It meant guessing

SALE Sundan ce SALE

which end of the string had
the releasing stitch. Naturally, the first guess always had
to be the wrong guess, and
the second guess always had
the knot.
As a result, most bags were
opened just under the stitching with a swift rip. And
that left the bag ready to be
tipped over and spilled at
regular intervals before it
was all used up.
So zippers make good
sense, and they're probably
here to stay.
The catfood manufacturers
obviously put a great deal of
thought into their new
packaging idea. They left the

Schools top
priority of Fadeley

string for consumers who
really do enjoy life's little
challenges. But they took out
the little frustrations by gluing a paper pull-tab over the
end where the release
.
begins.
Then they installed the zipper so the sack could be
resealed, zip-zip, preventing
spills. And, a zipped sack
can't be invaded by cats who
want between-meal snacks.
But the real reason for the
zipper has to do with the
sound it makes when the
sack is being opened, z-z-zi-ii-p. It sounds just like a cat
purring, and it makes even
the finickiest kitty want
whatever comes out of the
sack. It's a marketing trick,
but it seems to be working:
sales are up, and so are the
profits.
And in that case, zippurrs
make purrfectly good cents,
don't they?

Students who came early
to hear gubernatorial candidate Ed Fadeley speak to
LCC students April 22, were
treated to a rare exhibition of
his dancing style. He
describes it as a cross between Dumbo and Gene Kelly.
Fadeley had asked, ''What
do you want me to do?" His
brief attempt at a jig came in
response to one student who
asked, "Do you dance?"
About education he said,
''I am part of the reason it is
as good as it is now.'' He
said he has plans for a
stabilization and tax relief
program, and a commitment
to the future of higher education.
He also said that his top
priority, if elected, would be
to see that the state replaces
the aid to students that will
be lost through the Gramm
Rudman cuts. "We need to
see that we keep enough
money so students can stay
in schools."
Commenting on the fact
that nearly a million dollars
has already been contributed
to the campaign of
Goldschmidt, his heaviest
the
for
competition
Democratic nomination, he
said, ''My opponent is running mostly on Republican
money -- the same money
that has supported Governor
Atiyeh and the same people
that supported the sales
tax."
criticized
also
He
Goldschmidt' s past employment with Nike in Canada,
saying he doesn't believe it's
right to take goods made at
low wages in the Eastern

countries and sell them in
Canada. He thinks Oregon
money and resources should
be kept here, and put to
work here. ''We need to
think of exporting our goods
and labor, rather than exporting jobs."
About $6 billion Oregon
dollars are invested outside
the state he says -- $2,000 for
each man, woman and child
in Oregon. And $900 million
of that is in South Africa. He
is in favor of pulling all
Oregon money out of South
Africa.
He is also in favor of the
state doing more to support
small businesses since small
businesses create most of the
jobs. He suggests some of
the economic development
lottery money could be used
for small business loans.
Fadeley would like to see
two separate lotteries set up
-- one for school financing
and one for economic
Lottery
development.
players could decide which
one they want to support,
and the schools would get a
much needed boost.
When asked, ''Which do
you believe is worse: legal
homegrown marijuana or a
police state?" he replied,
''The police state is worse.''
But he didn't say where he
stood on the marijuana initiative.
He says he would have
kept our National Guard unit
at home rather than allowing
them to be sent to Honduras
for maneuvers as Atiyeh did.
And he says he supports
the long-term moral values of
the sanctuary movement.
The movement gives sanctuary to political refugees
from Central American countries, most of whom are in
the USA illegally.

''Work by LCC Studio
Assistants''
features
sculpture by Jeff Adams,
jewelry by Carol Ahern and
ceramics
by
Caryn
Daschbach. It will run from
April 28 to May 15 in the Art
Building Gallery.
Adams' work is unique
and startling. His piece called
''Nuclear Summer'' stands
roughly two feet high, and
represents the form of someone who has witnessed a
nuclear blast. Small clumps
of flesh seem to trickle down
the figure's unrecognizable
face and thin neck. A pair of
silver-glossed sun glasses
hang mysteriousiy on art
earless head with a noILt::.M.:,tent nose.
Some of his other works include "Incipient Lust," "The
Great Lover," "Shoulda'
Coulda' Woulda'," and
''The Prayer.''
Adams says his work
contains his sense of irony
and the paradox of existence
and a sense of life and
death."
Feathered earrings made
from silver or 14-carat gold
are the specialty of Carol
Ahern, though she also
makes necklaces, rings and
other items.
Ahern says she fabricates
all her jewelry, meaning that
she creates every piece out of
the metal. She
etches
designs by hand, rather than
molding duplicates from one
original.

Jeff Adams' warlocks freeze in postures of battle at LCC's latest
art exhibit.

"Jewelry has been my way
of expressing myself," says
Ahern.
Caryn Daschbach's assortment of "wheel-thrown"
and "hand-built" clay pottery includes a vegetable
steamer, teapots, a tea cup, a
butter keeper, goblets, jars,
candle holders and a chalice.
Some of her ceramics, like

"The Raisin Jar," look as if
•they were made out of wood
rather than clay, with their
rich color tones and intricate
engraving marks.
"There's a level on which
it (clay) is a simple and direct
medium," says Daschbach,
"and yet sometimes the
results have a mysterious
quality about them."

tors. The troupe convinces
SIy h e 1s
• an 18th -century
lord, and they proceed to
perform a 17th century play
for him.
In a small Italian city-state
resides the rich Baptista and
his ~wo ~aughters: the
beautiful Bianca and her
harsh, quarrelsome sister,
Katherina.
The conflict: No man in his
right mind will marry the
shrewish, older sister
(played by Robin Scheff). No
man, that is, until Petruchio
of Verona, played by Ben
Trotter, arrives in Padua and
hears of Kate's ample dowry.
From
the
moment
Petruchio arrives on the
scene, he proves his own
shrewishness is at least an
even match for Kate's. So
begins the battle between the
seemingly unlovable Kate,
and Petruchio, who strives
not only to tame the shrew,
~ut to teach her to love.
In a secondary plot, the
younger sister, Bianca
(played by Carolyn de
France) has three suitors who
will stop at practically
nothing to win her hand. She
obviously favors one from
the beginning, a young student named Lucentio, played

by Brent Jasmer. These two
do an outstand"mg JO
• b . In
fact, they steal the show.
Scheff's Kate is harsh and
loud enough, but she doesn't
throw herself into this part
which demands total abandon. de_France, o~ the other
hand, gives us a Bianca who
is more than the usual submissive portrayal of the
younger sister. Having an
attention-seeking, spoiled little sister like de France's
Bianca would drive any sibling to distraction.
And Jasmer is hilarious as
Bianca's love-struck suitor,
Lucentio. Jasmer broke up
the audience a dozen times
opening night, without say- ·
ing a word -- the man has
more ludicrous facial expressions than a 20-foot totem
pole.
I sat with a Friday night audience that varied from
older, affluent-type Eugeneans, to a young boy who
not only stayed awake
through the whole production, but laughed in all the
right places . It w as
thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Torelle addsspice to Shakespeare~ 'Shrew'

TORCH Managing Editor

This is comedy as
Shakespeare must have
meant it to be, a production
made for laughing out loud.
And Torelle has obviously

of the Shrew" to play it to
the hilt .
"Shrew," playing LCC's
Theatre until May 3, is a play
within a play, about people
playing people pretending to
be people they're not -- all in
the name of love.
This "Shrew" starts from

the rarely staged beginning,
