the Lane Community College May 30, 1986 VOL.21, NO. 28 Never too old • • byC~i!ngtoo many TORCH Staff Writer June is graduation month for June Martinez and her daughter Rhonda, but that still leaves three members of the Martinez family at LCC. How did five members of one family end up at the same college at the same time? June says it was a dream of hers for years, that when her six children were grown, she would continue her education. ''When my youngest turned eighteen, I resigned my commission as a mother and headed for school.'' Returning to school, after 30 years was traumatic, and June credits the Life Transition Program with helping her deal, step by step, with enrollment, financial aid, decisions about classes, and generally overcoming "thirty years of misspent youth." Every member of the Martinez family (with the exception of Gale Enloe beams approvingly into the mirror held by Activity Director Ellen Waters as he tries on the cap and gown he'll wear at his June 13 graduation at Ivorena Care Ce11ter in Eugene. by Ann Van Camp TORCH Feature Editor During the month of June, thousands of high school young people across the nation will don caps and gowns to march down auditorium aisles and across gymnasium floors. After 12 years of education, they'll have earn- ed the right to graduate. They'll whoop and holler and toss their caps high in the air with a sense of accomplishment, and they'll feel the power of completing an important segment of life. And they'll beam with pride, knowing it was a good thing they did. But what would it feel like to get that high school diploma at 78 years old, or 86, or 94? Sixteen residents of Eugene's Ivorena Care Center know exactly how it feels; they've been earning their educations through Phi Theta Kappa (LCC honor society) have received recognition for their high grades at past graduations, honor students who didn't have the inclination or financial wherewithal to join the society have received no recognition. Reacting to student complaints, the graduation committee (made up of students, faculty, staff, and administrators) decided to indicate on the graduation programs students who have a cumulative GPA of 3.7 or above. Jones emphasized that this action "is not meant to take away from the prestige of being a PTK member, but rather to add these honor students who also deserve recognition.'' Graduation will not be held on the LCC campus this year, but at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts. Jones says, in the past, he had felt that the campus was the right place for graduation -- until last year. ''Last year was the turning point, it convinced me we had to do something new.'' see LEAP, page 8 Graduation to be at Hult by Lisa Zimmerman TORCH Editor There will be some changes in LCC's graduation ceremony this year, due to complaints from LCC students, faculty, staff and alumni concerning past ceremonies. According to Student Activities Coordinator Jay Jones, this year's graduation committee has received complaints from students who will be graduating with honors. Jones says students were upset because, while those who are members of Denali, insert Inside see Grads, page 4 £ 0 0 ....11a1111---"t The Martinez family from upper right; Vicky, Edd, Rhonda, and Lori. son David, who joined the Navy to pursue electronics) has at one time or another been a student at Lane.

Page 16 Page8 Fun Page 2 May 30, 1986 Last word Dear Editor, In reply to Mr. Heart: I find this bantering to and f:i;o a bit juvenile and ... simplistic ... yet: It seems Mr. Heart needs to r~ad more carefully before he writes. I did not say that he had used the word "censorship" anywhere in his letter (TORCH 5-2) -- but speak of it, in my opinion, he did. In my letter (TORCH 5-9) the words I used ("seem" The TORCH and ''suggest'') were chosen to emphasize that it was inference not ''mindreading'' -- that I was relying on. And, until Mr. Heart (sans obscurity) defines his meaning, I maintain my previously inferred interpretation: In Rome, a censor was an official whose job it was (in part) to insure that no one spoke against Caesar. In Rome then, I imagine, one would've been literally crucified for saying '' Caesar should be shot." In America, one is merely literarily crucified for saying ''The president should be shot." As for "looking up" professionalism, I fail to see the point. The TORCH, as I pointed out once before, operates under the auspices of LCC' s Media Commission and answers to the commission's definitions of "professional" and "responsible," not to see Censor, page 13 Thankyou Dear Editor, I wish to express my deepest thanks and highest regard for the LCC Science Department. Over the past 3 years I've had the honor to learn from nearly every science instructor and have been more than "whelmed" with the quality of education received. As I continue my science education at OSU and through life, I know I'll be building on the most solid foundation availible. Thanks especially to Hayden Hodges for the inductive approach to reality, to Allan · Gubrud for excellence in computer literacy and application, and to Jay IrmsherPie Editorial power is out, regular dinners to return by Karen Irmsher TORCH Editor It was· a real shock to me last year when I was chosen editor. I wanted Ann Van Camp to do it, and pick me for the associate editor slot. I wouldn't even have applied had not TORCH advisor Pete Peterson pumped me up, badgered me, cajoled me, and persuaded me. More than once. I'd only been a TORCH reporter for one term, and knew nothing about managing a paper, or the production end of the job. I have no doubts that Ann would have had it had she been willing to work nights, which she wasn't. So all of a sudden, through the decisions of 17 people calling themselves the Media Commission, I found myself one of the more important transients in this little world called LCC. The whole thing seemed unreal. I was pretty sure they'd made a mistake. I planned to fit the job into the regular 9-5 work-week, plus one late night for production. Within the first few weeks, I decided I needed to stay one other night so I could edit the copy without the constant interruptions inherent to a news office. By the last term I'd totally given up on going home to dinner between Monday and Friday nights. It's a good thing my son is at the age where we don't have a whole lot to say to each other anyway, and my husband wants me to do what makes me happy. With the publication of this final TORCH of the year, I slip back into obscurity. I'll miss being important, and having the power to decide what gets printed. When this job first landed in my lap, I had no desire for power. I just hoped I'd have the wherewithal to keep it all together for the year and hand it on, in tact, to the next editor. At that point I never dreamed the next editor would be my daughter. Now that I've developed a taste for power, the sweet memory will linger to tease me. I'll probably want more sometime, after I rest up a bit. I'm going to miss having the license to stick my nose in everyone's business, especially that of the LCC Board of Education. But what I'll miss most, besides laughing and working with my staff, is wrapping words around the opinions, ideas and whimsy gurgling around in my gray matter, and letting it flow unedited down my fingers and into print. I won't miss those panicky Mondays when I'm already supposed to know what stories we're printing a week from Friday. Nor will I miss that constant feeling that I'm leaving out some really important stories, or forgetting to do something that will catch up to me in a week or two. And it's going to be really easy giving up missing dinner. Speaking of pie, The Summer Pie Festival will take place Saturday, June 7, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Olive Plaza Nutrition Center at 1135 Olive St. in Eugene. Funds from this event will be used by the Senior Nutrition Program to provide meals to seniors in Lane County. Notable pie enthusiasts, including myself, Jerry Rust, Faye and Ken Kesey, and uncountable grandma-types will donate pies, pieces of which can be purchased for a mere dollar. I won't miss dinner at all that night. Marston for lending an ear to my constant jumble of thoughts. My bubble of perception is truly expanded. Wow!

He says a number of students complained about the acoustics in the gym (where graduation was held last year) and the excessive noise. He says students also complained about the crowd of visitors and amateur photographers that eventually crowded around the graduates. "By the time the ceremony was half over, there were so many people visiting and crowded around those who had already graduated, that people still waiting couldn't hear the names being called. If you were sitting in the area where the graduates were, you couldn't even see. I couldn't get the lines of graduates up to receive the diplomas -- it was a fiasco." Something different had to be done. Jones says graduation crowds are now too big for LCC' s Performing Arts Building. So, after reviewing the situation, the graduation committee decided on the Hult Center. Cost for . . the Hult rental and t_echmcians comes to approximately $1,500, says Jones. LCC will save the approximatley $800 usually paid to LCC campus service staff for set-up and clean-up of graduation, making the total cost for graduation at the Hult an estimated $800. One thing that will not be changed this year is the date of graduation -- the Friday prior to finals' week. The college has been the target of both complaints and inquiries concerning the date. Some students and staff are concerned that this will cut into study time for finals, and also that students might receive their diplomas and then receive failing grades. However, Jones said this date was chosen in 1973 after results from a student survey showed that the end of finals was too late • for many students who were leaving to take or seek jobs. Jones says it was decided that graduation on the Friday before finals' week was more appropriate, and also ensured that a sufficient number of members of the LCC orchestra and choir would be available to provide music for the activity. According to Jones, the return on this decision has been ''highly successful,'' and every year student participation in the event has increased. Jones adds that students receive only the degree covers at graduation. They don't get the actual certificates until all grades are in and validated.

Son Daniel attended LCC in '84-'85, and daughter Laurie, is finishing high school at LCC, and taking some college credit courses as well. With nothing but the highest of praise for Lane Community College and its varying programs, June plans to head for the U of O this fall to major in Human Development, "because they don't have a degree program in Women's Studies, which is my major interest." She plans to do some counseling when she receives her degree, but hopes to do more. "I've always been a women's activist, and I'd like to get paid for it," she says. HSC seeks scholarship support by Kelli J. Ray TORCH Staff Writer What does a student do if he or she wants to earn a diploma through LCC' s High School Completion (HSC) program, but lacks the money? Currently, that student can forget it, because currently, LCC has no way to offer financial aid to HSC . students. Nan Phifer, high school completion instructor, wants to change this. And she's putting some push behind her dream by volunteering her time seeking scholarship support. Phifer recently spoke to the Springfield Chapter of Kiwananne Service Club for Women, requesting support for a HSC scholarship fund. She has also taken her plea to the • Emerald and Spring Valley Chapters of the American Business Women's Association. "It's really too soon to know what the results will be,'' Phifer says. Phifer is doing her best to drum up support because '' we have a lot of students who are experiencing hardship trying to pay $30 for a class, and there just isn't any way to help them. We lose students who really want to take classes here.'' Keeping HSC students on campus goes on to benefit the college, according to Phifer. Last year 855 HSC students went on to take LCC credit classes totaling almost 10,000 credits. "Once they get past their High School Completion classes, they qualify for financial aid, and can go on to take credit classes here.'' Students or staff who would like to contribute to the fund can send checks to the LCC Foundation, in care of Pat Williams. ~<JJ~(J.l~AUW~U□<JJ~~a ~o\l 0\0 \t\ •1-' ~ o\l 10aOe l.'-• ce\ebtate 1·t' • Graduates, your big night is almost here!

Surveys will help . •: .. ,•. evaluate Dr. Turner by Karen Irmsher TORCH Editor The LCC Board of Education has decided to gather opinions from all the LCC staff preparatory to making its own evaluation of President Turner. The board met in a work session Thursday, May 22 to hammer out the final logistics of the presidential evaluation. The survey forms, are drawn from the president's job description, and are identical to the forms the board will use in its evaluation. Staff will be asked to rate performance on 25 items. Categories include: Staff and Personnel Relationships, Educational Leadership, Business and Finance, and Personal Qualities. The board will rate him in two additional categories: Relationship with the Board of Education, and Community Relationships. Survey forms will be sent to the staff May 27 and must be returned by June 6. They will be mechanically correlated by Director of Testing Dan Hodges. The board will receive the survey input by June 11, then will give their own survey forms to their legal counsel for compilation by June 16. Counsel will compile results in time for a board executive session, without the president, June 18, and the board will meet in another executive session, June 23 to discuss the results with the president. The board decided not to formally poll students or the community at this point. Cravens to go to Japan by Michael Spilman TORCH Staff Writer For some time Collette Cravens has been preparing to go to Japan, and soon her work and determination will pay off. Next year she will attend Nagasaki Wesleyan Junior College (NWJC) in Japan. Mason Davis, counselor for Industrial Technology and International Students, says Cravens will be going to school in Japan next fall via the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP). Cravens' interest in Japan grew out of friendships she made with Japanese people while working in Alaskan canneries. Since her father has been involved in the fishing industry there, she's lived in Alaska on and off since she was eight years old, explains Davis. These experiences have led to her desire to pursue a career in international trade, possibly in the fishing industry. At this moment Cravens is working on a fish-processing boat in the Pacific Ocean, packing roe (fish eggs). She'll leave the boat in August and start classes at NWJC in late September. According to Davis, Cravens will live in Japan for 11 months, learning about the Japanese language and culture. '' As an 18-year-old, she's having an experience from which she'll be able to draw on for the rest of her life," says Davis, adding that '' she has incredible enthusiasm for doing this." Last Winter Term Cravens completed high school early through LCC' s High School Program so she would be eligible for the 1986-87 ISEP program. Also, she has received some Japaneselanguage training through LCC' s Adult Education Program. Now Cravens must come up with $2,500 for air fare, meals, books, transportation and incidentals. NWJC will pay for her room and tuition and she'll be able to earn some money working as an English tutor. Because of the inflation of the dollar against the Japanese yen, Cravens' trip will be more expensive than it would've been just a year ago; Davis says that the dollar has experienced approximately a 20 percent devaluation in Japan since last year.

Congratulations to these scholar athletes who have kept Lane's strong tradition in sports and the class room. by Darren Foss TORCH Sports Editor With the end of the Titan Baseball season came the announcement of the NWAACC Region IV AllStar selections and also Lane's own team awards. Six Titan sluggers received the recognition they deserved after a long, hard season. Two Titans were selected as NWAACC Region IV First Team All-Stars. They were sophomore second baseman Ed Howarth and sophomore outfielder and co-Captain, Leo Francis. Howarth was rightfully selected after leading the Titans with a .377 batting average, hitting seven league home runs, and leading the team in hits with 26 in 22 league-games. He also tied with Ted Davis as team leader with 20 runs batted in (RBI). His teammates and Titan Head Coach Bob Foster also honored him by selecting him as team Most Valuable Player for the season. Francis also had a banner season and was a shoo-in as a first team all-star. He had the second best league batting average on the team at .338. And he used his quickness to lead the team in stolen bases with 15 in league play, and led the Titans in runs scored with 21. He led the team in doubles with seven and also collected 13 RBI. His patience at the plate tied him for the team lead in walks with Dan Luneski at 15 each. Francis' quickness also paid off in the field. Coach Foster and Francis' teammates selected him for the team's Golden Glove Award after witnessing his spectacular diving plays with only one error committed throughout the season.

Titan sophomore acepitcher Bill Townsend tops the list after leading the Titans in almost every pitching category. And, according,to Coach Foster and his own analysis, he should've made first team. However, the league this year had many good pitchers and, unfortunately for Townsend, he was only selected to the second team. Townsend was the Titans' workhorse appearing in half of Lane's 22 league games and pitched the most league innings for Lane with 48. In the process, he compiled an impressive 7-2 league record. He also led the team in strikeouts with 36, and had the lowest earned run average (ERA) on the team at 2.47 per league game. With these overwhelming stats Coach Foster and his teammates had no problem selecting him as the team's Outstanding Pitcher of the Year. Another second team selection was Lane's sophomore first baseman Don Pruitt. Pruitt had an excellent season defensively at first base committing only one error during the league season while hitting .271 at the plate, scoring 11 runs, collecting six doubles, 19 hits, one league homer and eight RBI. Sophomore shortstop and team co-captain Ted Davis was also selected to the second team. Along with tying Howarth for the team RBI lead with 20, Davis hit four league home runs, scored 14 runs, and collected 18 hits in 71 at bats for a .254 batting average. Finally, last but not least, sophomore third baseman Dan Lunesk.i was selected as a second teamer. Luneski was also very patient with the bat as co-leader in the walks department with 15. He collected 16 hits in 57 league at bats for a .281 batting average. He also scored 10 runs, hit four doubles, and stole three bases. Other team awards included; • Freshman catcher Don Wolff's selection as Most Improved Player by Coach Foster and Wolff's teammates. Wolff made almost every hit count as he scored eight runs on his 11 league hits, collected seven RBI and eight walks which turned into three stolen bases. • Freshman outfielder Andy Johnson was selected by the team as Rookie of the . Year. He collected 17 hits in 58 league at bats for a .293 batting average (third best on the team). Johnson scored nine runs, amassed seven RBI, walked 11 times and stole three bases during the league season. Suprisingly, sophomore catcher Aaron Helfrich wasn't selected as an all-star after hitting .286 with 18 hits, 12 RBI, and scoring eight runs. Helfrich liked the number five, collecting five doubles, walks and stolen bases. He also had a banner season defensively behind the plate as he threw out many runners attempting to steal second and kept Titan pitchers under control. Sports stories not to be taken literally Editor's Note: This is a response to Annabanana 's letter in last week's TORCH, May 23, on the so-called "gore" in sports stories. To Annabanana, I found your letter last week rather intriguing and witty at the same time. I haven't had such a good laugh in years. What am I going to do with you? The main problem I see is that you're trying to take my sports articles literally. I think you've been taking too many classes from Sheila Juba. Nice try, but sports articles aren't written to be analyzed literally. Sports terminology is used to describe the action, give the readers a picture and the feeling that they are there. I wrote a sports column in the April 11 TORCH, that told how sports terminology gives common words new meanings to describe sports action . You should have read it. But, no! You are blowing my sports stories all out of proportion by taking my innocent sports terminology for its Webster definition. I think you should consult the Sports Dictionary and find out the sports definition. Then you might feel like you've been peeled if you don't already. Concerning your final statement that the sports section is "okay" --nice try. But we all know the only reason you read the sports section is to stir up controversy! Sincerely, Darren Foss TORCH Sports Editor ......... , .......... . .... _ TheTORCH May 50, 1986 Page 7 1985-86 Titan sports wrap up by Darren Foss TORCH Sports Editor Sports Editor's notes: With this issue ends my reign as TORCH Sports Editor. In closing, I am writing my final column highlighting this year's action and major Titan sports news. The 1985-86 LCC Titan sports program was fairly successful this year, and I had fun covering the action. I would like to thank all the coaches and players for their cooperation this year. Keep up the good work! FALL SPORTS Cross Country The Titan Cross Country teams kicked off the sports year with a bang, successfully defending the1r Northwest Athlellc Assoc1allon of Community Colleges (NW AACC) Region IV Championship at Linn-Benton CC in Albany, Oct. 26. For the women's team it was their fourth-straight NWAACC Region IV Championship. The Titans ran away with the title, accumulating only 36 points and placing six runners among the top 11 finishers. For the men's team it was their second-straight Region IV Title. They accumulated only 22 points while placing seven runners in the top 11 finishers, which included a sweep of thesecond through fifth positions . After regionals, the Titans took their momentum up to Oregon City, Nov. 15, at Clackamas CC, and both teams won their first Northwest Championship. The women set a school record by allowing only 21 seconds to elapse between their first and fifth place finishers . Even though the Titans placed only one runner in the top 10, Nicholas placing 10th in 19:08.1, they still cruised to an easy win accumulating only 45 points, 29 points fewer than second place Bellevue. The Titan men were m a closer battle, winning by only a 10-pomt margin, ammassmg 40 to Spokane's 50. Rick Nelson finished first for Lane and second overall with a time of 25:01.6, only four tenths of a second from being top in the Northwest. Not suprisingly, Harland Ynarte, LCC men's cross cou!'try coach, and Lyndell Wilken, LCC women's cross country coach, were voted as the NWAACC Coaches of the Year. It was the second-straight year for Yriarte. Volleyball The Titan Volleyball team struggled through a frustrating season under first-year Coach Steve Tornblom. The Titans won only 10 matches while losing 19 and'tying three overall. They finished seventh in the league with a 2-10 record . It was the Titans worst record in over 10 years. The team had enough talent to be good. But in my opinion, Coach Tornblom didn't utilize it in the right way, the team lost its motivation, and settled for mediocrity . Also during Fall Term, Bob Foster became Coordinator of Intramural and Recreational Sports in add1tition to his spring head baseball coaching position. Gary Knapp became the new Special Events Coordinator. WINTER SPORTS Women's Basketball The Titan Women's Basketball team was short in stature but big in enthusiasm this year, despite a disappointing 2-10 (sixth place) league record and 9-16 record overall, under first-year Head Coach Dave Loos. Athletic Director Sue Thompson, who usually coaches the women's basketball team, decided to take a year off from coaching and let her assistant coach Loos take the helm this season. The team had a respectable 7-6 non-league record, but once the tough league season started, Lane's record suffered. Men 's Basketball The Titan Men's Basketball team, loaded with talent, tied for the NWAACC Region IV Southern Division Title. Its impressive 12-2 league record qualified the team for the NWAACC playoffs. At the end of the league season, sophomore power forward Jerome Johnson was selected as the NWAACC Southern Division MVP for the second-straight-year and was also voted a First Team All-Star. Lane hosted its first playoff game Saturday, Feb. 22, and defeated the Grays Harbor Chokers 64-58 to advance to the NWAACC Championship Tournament. The win closed out Lane's home season with an impressive 10-2 record. The Titans entered the tourney in Walla Walla, Wash., ranked fifth in the Northwest, but unfortunately had to face the number-one ranked Columbia Basin Hawks on Thursday night, Feb. 27, in their first round game. Lane battled hard until the end, but fell SIX points short, 76-70. The loss knocked Lane into the consolation bracket against the defending champion, Edmonds Tritons, the following day, Friday, Feb. 28. The Titans were caught in a wild run-and-shoot game from the opening tip, but when the smoke cleared Lane had suffered a disappointing 95-92 loss. The loss dropped the Titans' final record to 22-7 overall, but it was still the teams third best record in Lane history. Lane Head Basketball Coach Dale Bates felt that this was his second best team overall talentwise, and thought they had a good chance to win the Northwest Championship. But the team didn't live up to his expectations. During Winter Term, LCC implemented a manditory drug test policy on all LCC athletes starting with the basketball programs. The policy was drawn up by Athletic Trainer Janet Anderson and approved by the LCC coaches, Athletic Director Sue Thompson and finally Vice President of Student Services Jack Carter. Carter's action of approving the policy without first presenting it to the LCC Board of Education created a controversy. SPRING TERM At the April LCC Board Meeting, English Instructor Bill Powell protested the drug test policy on the grounds that it violated students rights. Due to Powell's concern, drug testing was halted until a new policy could be designed, fulfilling all of Powell's requested revisions. A new policy is in the final stage of work and will probably be implemented at the beginning of Fall Term, 1986. Other than Spring sports, which were wrapped up in last week's TORCH, Titan Volleyball Coach Steve Tomblom resigned to complete his doctorate at the U of 0, after one controversial season . Some players complained about his coaching style and there were some personal conflicts on the team between the players and coach. Thompson hired former coach Ed Jacobson to become the new LCC volleyball coach next fall. Jacobson has built a strong reputation at Lane. As coach of Lane's volleyball team in 1980 and 1981, he compiled a remarkable 25-3 record . So there is reason to be optimistic about next season. Not all Titan sports teams had winning records this season, but the athletes created a lot of excitement for the fans. Lane can be proud of its sports program, which should be just as exciting, action packed, and record-breaking next year. Athletes, from have signed letters of intent to play basketball at Western Oregon State College in Monmouth. According to Coach Bates, Tilley will play small forward for WOSC and Laakso will continue as a quick point-guard. • Lester Jackson (Lane's 6'2" second guard from Pacific Palisades, Calif.) has received a scholarship to play basketball at Seattle University. • Jeff Todd (the Titan's 6'7" forward/center from Cross-Roads, Calif.) will go to Whitworth College in Spokane, Wash. "We're pleased that six of our sophomores are going on to further their education through basketball. It was nice working with all of them,'' concludes Coach Bates.

No, maybe they won't be tossing their caps into the air after the short ceremony ends. But they'll feel that sense of accomplishment just the same. They'll know the sense of power in completing an important segment of their lives. Many of their families will be attending the graduation, and great grandchildren will be watching their great grandparents get diplomas. The seniors graduating in this group will, indeed, beam with pride, knowing it was a good thing they did. TheTORCH May30,1986 Page9 • • Ona -- spinnin g and weavin g again Three years ago, with the loom in her living room, the sheep in her yard, and many years of study, Ona Bake was on her way to becoming a master weaver. Ona, along with her husband and children, not only ran a wool business from their home, but also attended several £airs and exhibitions annually. '' At that time, happiness was my job and my family. I enjoyed the entire process: the work itself, the shows and the people. I loved the people contact.'' Imagine, then, the pain and distress she must have felt when the world she loved was restricted, and eventually completely torn from her grasp, due to ill health. I was devastated,'' says Ona, 11 but I was too physically ill to deal with it well." 11 Three years ago, Ona (who prefers to go by her first name) was diagnosed for what seemed to be allergic reactions. She was told that she was allergic to sheep wool. Picture Elvis allergic to tight clothes, or Ronald Reagan allergic to TV cameras. Picture a life with no meaning. "I was devastated, says Ona, ''but I was too physically ill to deal with it well. Then shortly after I had cancer surgery which was also devastating. It wasn't so much depression as anger. But in the long run, I was glad to be alive. With no options other than to sell the sheep and close the business, she returned to school in the fall of 1984. "I didn't really know what I wanted to do at first, but as I explored, I discovered that my talents were basically artistic." She found that she was interested in graphic arts and began studies in that area. Unfortunately Ona' s illness had not only affected her business life, but her family life as well. Her husband, a carpenter, was also in business on his own. The support of their house and family had been a joint effort, and without two incomes, neither could hope to support the whole. The home 11 11 was repossessed and a monetary judgement placed against them. "It was a real change of lifestyle," she concludes. It was a • fremend o us feeling of relief,'' says Ona. 11 It felt like the load of the world was being taken off ~y shoulders when I found out I wasn't allergic.'' 11 But recently, Ona discovered that she had been misdiagnosed. Her allergylike condition was the symptom of a treatable condition called vasomotor syndrome. "It was a tremendous feeling of relief," says Ona. "It felt like the load of the world was being taken off my shoulders when I found out I wasn't allergic." Although - she is still interested in graphic arts, and expects to continue studies in that area, Ona says she will probably begin once again to emphasize weaving and spinning." Although she did lose her sheep when she was forced to move, she was able to retain her six woolwashing machines, three 11 The loom is set up and Ona will spend many hours until her project is finished. spinning wheels, several looms and a carding machine -- everything she needs to resume the practice of her craft. Now Ona enjoys a modest four hours a day involved in weaving-related activities (compared to the six hours in previous years) and hopes to work back up to full capacity. Last month her wool weaving and other art were on display in the LCC Women's Center. All in all, things are going a lot better," says Ona. Her husband, who quit his 11 carpentry business and returned to school (LCC) will be receiving his degree shortly. Ona herself is moving back into the wool business. "I love doing shows," she says. "I've been on television trying to spin and talk,'' she laughs. "At least I'm doing what I enjoy again." Feature by Tracy Thaxton Photos by Dominique Sepser Design and Graphic by Judylee Root 1st Catch your sheep, then knit your sweater: First the sheep is sheared to get the fleece which is washed and dried, then picked to prepare it for carding. The carding aligns the fibers,making it easier to spin. Spinning the wool into yarn is the most enjoyable part of the early process for Ona. The crafts person can choose to leave the wool it's natural color as it comes from the sheep. Natural or chemical dyes may be used befor she weaves or knits the yarn into a finished project. If she chooses to dye the yarn, the color is determined by the plan she has for the project. Ona' s hand spun yarn is the result of many hours of work; some tedious, true, but all somehow pleasurable and well worth the effort. On the loom Ona weaves a colorful banner. She layeth her hands to the spindle,(Pro.31:19) her fleece is turned into a fine spun yarn. PagelO May50,1986 TheTORCH Dyslexia stigma overcome Feature by Mark Mages Photos by Glennis Pahlmann Design 11Y Marianne Witherspoon Earl Erbb, the 19-year-old manager of the LCC baseball ' team, was diagnosed as dyslexic as a child, and has been in special classes for students with learning disabilities all his life. He believes that the disorder has been less of an obstacle than the social stigma attached to it. And, he says, the negative image he has of himself as a result of being classed with people who are retarded or emotionally disturbed, has also been very difficult to overcome. LCC Baseball Coach Steve Wolf hopes that being around men who are more confident and aggressive will help Erbb to overcome these difficulties. "They accept him as a peer because they don't see his schoolwork. He communicates well, (so) they don't know he has a difficulty in writing," Wolf says. Studies by the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare estimate dyslexia affects up to 15 percent of all children in the United States. Diagnosed as a dislocation of cells in the left side of the brain in the first 16 to 20 weeks of pregnancy, according to a recent article .in "U.S. News and Worla Report, " dyslexia is characterized by an inability to read, write and spell adequately. Speech may be a problem too, since dyslexics tend to scramble what they hear and see. Erbb, however, speaks fluently. He says a large part of his reading and writing problem have been corrected by eye glasses and through the special classes he takes. ...., .,.,t . ,;.,.~.,..,_,.,~..,,,,.,.s;.,-.;,~i>-'>°"~;,,_w'·''~"" '~.s;.,....,....- 1~ l l Doctors diagnosed him as having a learning disability at Frances Willard School in Eugene. He saw distant objects as though they were close up and blurred; he confused the letters b for d, and e for the number three. Erbb was sent to the Child Center, a school for emotionally disturbed children. This bothered him because he still took classes at his old school and kids there and in his neighborhood teased him about it. "It was the wrong school, " Erbb says. "It was a real bad experience . . . they treated me for problems I didn't even have.'' When he and his family moved to Washington in 1976, he started classes at Bryant School, considered one of the best in the nation because it used the Distar reading system. He still took special learning classes because of his poor spelling, though tests showed he could comprehend collegelevel reading material. These tests were performed after his mother, herself a college graduate, found him browsing through some old coHege textbooks. His self-confidence suffered further when his mother and father got a divorce, and he had to spend time in a foster home. His grades went from poor to worse. Then when he moved back with his mother and two sisters, teacher strikes in the area, and the lack of continuity due to being taught by substitute teachers, complicated his learning pro- \ ~ l ' cesses still further . Erbb calls the Bryant School a '' spot on the road of life" that he didn't enjoy very much, but says it was a positive experience, overall. Explaining the paradox, he says that he learned a lot, but that the disruptive influences in his life made it very difficult. Perhaps because he attended school in the summer as well as during the ninemonth school year, and also became involved with sports, he began to overcome what teachers termed his ''rebel'' and "rowdy" behavior. As his problems with spelling cleared up, he started to overcome feelings that he was retarded. After his mother's boyfriend was shot to death, the family moved back to Eugene and he enrolled in Jefferson Junior High. Again he took part in classes for students with learning problems. Many of the kids, Erbb says, "had, not just emotional problems, but educational problems; having been in too many schools; or fear of school." Some, he says, were also physically disabled. Here he was reintroduced to sports. The summer Challenge Program, first organized in 1976, allows both handicapped and nonhandicapped students to participate in such activities as hiking, backpacking, and skiing. He credits the program w ith teaching him selfreliance. He developed more control over his rowdy behavior, and his spelling improved p roblems dramatically. And he says, a, church camp he attended for three years helped build his self-esteem. Erbb says he's still angry with the psychiatrists who misdiagnosed his condition and with school authorities who tried to take control of his family. He resents having been coerced into going to meetings every week as a result of his learning disability, and the people from the Child Center who, in his opinion, would needlessly stop by their home.

Ray For over 40 years Eugene was incarcerated in a prison -- a prison of the mind. The bars were not of metal, but of confusion, withdrawal, and pain. Life, for him, consisted of recurring bouts of depression, paranoia and suicide for most of Eugene's life. Now, at 45, Eugene feels he has a new lease on life and is "rarin' to go." Currently attending LCC, he has finally been properly dia~nosed as Finding no •support from his family or school, he often thought of suicide. TheTORCH . May30,1986 Pagell Finding no support from his family or school, he says he often thought of suicide in his early teens. He tried to lead a normal life, but he constantly battled confusion and chronic depression. When he left home at 18 to face society on his own, it was extremely difficult for him to make friends and find companionship. At the age of 22, feeling he could no longer function alone in society, Eugene made his first visit to a psychiatrist. Diagnosed as having passive/ aggressive behavior, he willingly committed himself to a Montana state hospital, Warm Springs Mental Institution. During his three-year stay, he claims he was promised help, but never once saw a doctor. Instead, he says he was "pilled down" -- given thorazine -- so that he was unable to talk. He also received nine shock treatments, the last leaving him unable to having a bio-chemical imbalance which prevents the body from producing salt. Eugene considers himself to be a rare individual, '' one in 250 million, a survivor.'' After nine misdiagnoses, and "I've been through years under the care . of numerous doctors, after go- hell and back, my ing without the support of own personal hell, his family, and a society but I am amazed at unable to withstand him, he is now receiving proper care what has come out and medication, lithium, of it -- a new life.

Now a psychology major at LCC, he plans to -earn a bachelor's degree at UCLA, and follow that with more advanced degrees. However, Eugene's climb to this point has been long and hard. He says he always knew that there was a reason for his depression and ultimate self-isolation, and always wanted to talk about it. But in Montana, where he lived for 45 years, he found it impossible. year, a nurse helped to have him discharged. "I didn't have the presence of mind to get myself out," he says. Over the next 20 years Eugene saw a score of doctors, was diagnosed as manic-depressive and paranoid schizophrenic, and received a variety of different medications, mostly thorazine. However, Euge_n e feels that the treatment which helped him the most was self-prescribed. He found walking to _be very beneficial. ''When I had a problem I would go for a walk," he says. "If I was upset or confused over a problem or a certain situation, I would just walk the problem out. It helped me to clear my head." But unfortunately, walking could not solve all his problems. In 1972 his medication was changed to melliril, and from then until 1984 he says, ''I basically slept almost 12 years of my life away.'' He withdrew into his own ''cocoon,'' because he felt people didn't care, no matter how hard he tried. In January 1984 he found himself in a Missoula, Montana apartment, apparently his, unable to remember the last three months of his life. He decided that he was tired of living in a shell and entered a hospital where the bio-chemical imbalance was properly diagnosed. After seven days on lithium, Eugene says that he was able, "to balance out his moods and emotions so that he could think.'' And one of his first thoughts was to leave Montana and head for the West coast. Eugene moved to Eugene because he wanted access to schools, yet wanted to live in a smaller city than Portland. Now, under the care of two tharapists and a psychiatrist, he says he leads a normal life. For the time, he is living with a family in Springfield and getting back on his feet. On a day-to-day basis he uses '' self talk,'' a method of self-motivation. He tells himself that he's OK and has the ability to make it in life on his own, and that he's just as good as the next guy, though no better. It helps him feel better about himself and builds confidence. Now that Eugene has broken free of his prison, he plans on taking his past experiences and using them to make the best of the rest of his life. Pictured above is a rendition of Eugene's condition prior to treatment. · He felt like a man in a prison of confusion, withdraw[ and pain. ''It was like a bolt of lightning ripping through you, then everything stops and the lights go out.'' Despite the dampering effect of his condition, he tried to act normal, because he never wanted anyone to know that he wasn't confident. Though the biochemical imbalance was the actual problem, Eugene believes that the attitude of his rural family and the lack of medical resources in the area prolonged his chances of recovery. Now, Eugene (above) feels he has a new lease on life and is "rarin'to go. '' He says he is now able to balance out his moods and emotions so he can think. He plans on using his past experiences to make his future better.

Four years ago this month, he began his fifth and finally successful attempt at escaping from Vietnam. At age 18, he was living with his mother, brother, and sister in the small city of Tan An. His father had fled the country two years before and Ly was now awaiting his turn to escape and join his father. Although he was anxious, Ly had to wait patiently. Each detail of his plan had to be perfected to assure success -- his earlier three plans had failed before they were even put into action. In his fourth attempt, he fled with 88 others, and was /:\~fl/j .u \ -'\ ,, • ' l~ ~ ' caught before they reached the Vietnam border. "We were scared for our lives," he says. "Many times escapees are shot on sight.'' No one was killed this time. They were lucky. Or were they? They were taken to a prison camp where they were taught how to be "good" communists, says Ly. "It was terrible," he says, closing his eyes tightly and shaking his head. ''Worse than any prison that you could imagine.'' He says their heads were shaved to mark them as excapees, and each day they were required to work for 12 hours and then learn about communism for five. They were allowed only three or ,//;// / , ; ~, \f i ., ];Jp;,,,t, V ~ ~ . ;, ),_\ -Y //fa \~ \\ 1 /1 . I • j .

He says that he spent most of his time in the camp worrying. Some people would spend their entire lives in the camp, and some, he says, would be shot for no reason at all. His own family didn't have much money but because they had some gold, they were able to bribe the prison officials -- two ounces got Ly out of the camp after two months. He immediately began planning another excape. At 2 a.m. on June 19, 1982, he and his younger brother said their quick goodbyes to their mother and younger sister. They weren't sure when, if ever, they would see each other again. They traveled through the night and reached the Varn Co Dong river by 8 a.m. the morning of June 20. There, they and eight other people boarded a small boat that would take them further down the Varn Co Dong to rendezvous with a larger group. Together, they made 89, with the ages ranging from 6 months to 69. Fleeing for "freedom" they traveled throughout the night, camouflaging the 36-foot boat with leafy branches and bushes. They had pooled their two hire money to "captains" who knew the safe way out of Vietnam. By morning they expected to be far out to sea. Although Ly felt mixed emotions of excitement and fear, he concentrated, calming himself, sleeping. They awoke the next morning to find that they were traveling along the Vietnam coast. The "captains" turned out to be people who were too poor to escape themselves, and who had lied in order to flee Vietnam. Everyone on the boat was furious with the two men, says Ly, but also terrified that the coast guard would soon find the craft. ''Many people on the boat wanted to kill the men but some felt sorry for them.'' He adds:"So, instead, we prayed." They had to work together now. After getting directions from a 73-year-old fisherman, they sped out to sea in the small motorboat. As they had feared, the Vietnam coast guard spotted them, and gave chase. But for some reason, it gave up the pursuit after two hours. Ly says no one could understand why the coast guard had quit, but the 89 rejoiced and finally made it past the legal line. They survived despite a storm which produced waves as tall as five-story buildings. When a Danish ship responded to their SOS, the refugees sunk their boat, boarded the big ship, and sailed to Hong Kong. Ly and his brother waited 11 weeks in a refugee camp until all of the necessary paperwork had been completed, and then flew to Eugene to be reunited with their father whom they hadn't seen for over two years. A reunion such as Dai Ly's, one might think, would be a very happy event. Of course it was, he says, and also "very emotional." Smiling, and looking a little embarassed, he explains, "We were very happy.'' They couldn't stop crying. Yet they were also sad because their sister and mother weren't there with them. Ly says that. to escape from Vietnam would have been much too dangerous for the two, so they must wait until they are able to leave the country legally, although he says nobody is sure when that might be. Today, Ly is a 24-year-old student at LCC. Living with his father and brother in a Eugene apartment, they live on financial aid, and the wages his father earns as an assembly worker. This year Ly has a workstudy job in the LCC Electronic Services Department. He says he doesn't have much "free time" because he either works or studies. But he adds that calligraphy is one of his favorite pastimes. He is studying electronics, and of course wants to find work in this field. But he has another dream --.he wants to be a writer. If he becomes proficient with English, he hopes to write a book about his escape. ''I am very happy to live in a free country," he emphasizes, but adds that he often misses Vietnam, its customs, and its holidays like the Tet, or New Year. He, his brother and father communicate by mail with family members who remain in Vietnam, although letters are censored. While he writes once a week, he receives a letter only once every three months. Ly says that because the three men have escaped, Ly's sister isn't allowed to graduate from her high school or to be accepted into any college, and Ly's mother has had great difficulty finding work. ''We think about them every day. We miss them very much. We can only wait, hopefully.'' Feature by Mary Hunt Illustration by Kathleen Heinz Design by Achsah E. Dunn The TORCH May 50, 1986 Page 15 One way to catch a soul One way to a student's soul or heart or mind is by way of the student's palate. Because LCC students don't list their religious preferences when they enroll at LCC or register each term for classes, area ministers have no easy directory of names to call for campus meetings. Until the spring of 1985, TORCH elicited only a few. And, speculates the BSU chaplain, Rev. James Sanders, ''People were leery to come out because they were afraid of being preached to." But success comes from being persistent," says the minister -- and perhaps from offering free food as well. He says participation is II all week. The light lunch is usually followed by a short Bible study for those who are interested. The idea caught the attention of Episcopal Deacon Penny Berktold. Over the year Rev. Berktold had achieved what she calls a successful campus routine of contacts with students and staff. She scheduled time in the Campus Ministries Of- But in the noon hour between, when she attempted to hold a service from the Episcopal prayer book, she drew only an occasional student. After talking with Rev. Sanders, this spring she began serving cheese, apples, crackers, and little candy bars to anyone who cared to join her in Math 252. The numbers have been growing recently to a modest five and six who come to nibble and stay for the service. "We don't have a Bible study. I simply discuss the theology of the Episcopal Church, and the Book of Common Prayer. I think that's one of the strengths of the Episcopal Church, the ideas and beauty of its liturgy . At the current time the Episcopalians, Baptists, and Lutherans use the Campus Ministry Office as a kind of headquarters or communications center in the tiny room across from the Student Health Service. Other groups have also used the office in the past. Photo by Dominique The Roman Catholic Diocese of Oregon subsidizes the office and activities (including a weekly Mass) organized by Father James Dieringer and Assistant Director Marna Crawford. They, in turn, have made the office available to any religious community group wanting to participate. ''When students want help making contact with a church we help them make contact." But past attempts to collect '' religious preference cards'' from students at registration failed: "We simply don't have the people to man the table," says Fr. Dieringer. And he says the college Registrar's Office doesn't think it feasible to include voluntary "religious preference cards" in registration packets. But even with a directory, improving meeting attendance would remain a challenge. Those recruiting students to religious meetings might continue to use free food as the best enticement. Sepser Episcopal Deacon Penny Berktold illustrates a unique method of fishing for souls. the Baptist Student Union experienced low attendance at its weekly Bible study sessions on campus. Making contact with Baptist students was a problem, and the ads on bulletin boards and in the noticably improved this year since the BSU began offering a free lunch at its Thursday noon meetings in Math/ Art 244. According to Sanders, some students say the lunch is the best meal they receive £ice, 125 Center Building from 10:30 to noon, and time in the Women's Center after lunch.

Signed, Baddat Goodbyes Dear Baddat, Well, there are a number of appropriate ways to leave the Unfortunately, scene. however, there are a number of inappropriate ways to phrase your exit. example, for Take "Farewell." It's not a great well, but then, as Garrison Keillor would say, it's not a bad well either: it's only fair. The problem with farewell is, of course, that most people draw their water from a kitchen tap fed by a local city water system and aren't very impressed by being wished a fair well. It's irrelevant unless you live on a farm. Actually "Good-bye" itself is sort of out of context, too, unless you've been garage sale-ing and want to impress your friends with how much ~ .,,,J, money you've saved. Then you tell them it was a good buy. But that doesn't say anything about what you want to tell them about parting, unless they also like garage sales and then parting is a natural transition to saleing. '' So long'' is another poor excuse for an exit phrase. How long is a so? My mother always used to tell me it depended on the amount of thread in the needle. But maybe it's a clever way of measuring the amount of time until you'll meet again. Which brings me to yet another bad choice: "Until we meet again" doesn't work for vegetarians. It's an insult; you might as well tell a vegetarian "I don't carrot all for you!" There are more, of course. ''Chow'' should be avoided at all cost because it means you're inviting them for dinner. "Aloha" is a wish for a ground-level laugh. And '' Au revoir'' is easier said than read, but it sounds pseudo to the untrained ear. "See ya" might work. It's simple, clean, ambiguous, ambivalent, inconclusive, unresolved, unfocused, and debatable. But here's a sure bet: Have a great summer! Stay healthy, have some fun, and we'll catch ya next fall!
