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

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.''

Graduation to be at Hult

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

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

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,

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!

Jones cites a number of
problems with fast year's
ceremony. 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.

and daughter Rhonda, who is graduating this year with her
mother, will receive an AA degree in Math. 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.

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.

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.
Four Titans were selected

as NWAACC Region IV Second Team All-Stars.
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

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.

know that they aren't just being given the piece of paper;
they've truly earned it. Jones
says the testing was done
orally ''because so much of
their hearing and seeing isn't
there." But the mental
abilities were, and that's
what the program focused
on.
According to Activity
Coordinator Ellen Waters,
this program is the direct
result of a dream she's had
for the past year and a half.
''These people need the
mental stimulation. It's just
as important as the physical
exercise. They're movers,

graduating in this group will,
indeed, beam with pride,
knowing it was a good thing

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

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."

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

Dyslexia stigma overcome

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.

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-

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.
He says he thought it was
"uncool" at the time and is
still angry
about it today. Erbb
also thinks parents
should consult
more than one
psychiatrist or
doctor, and get
a second
opinion. He
believes his
problems came

as much from
his unstable
home and
school situations as his
dyslexia. He
came to
LCC to re_~,.,,.,..,,

his math and reading skills,
since he wants to join the
military. He's failed the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Test twice, but is sure
he'll do better next time.
Meanwhile, the time he
spends in his classes and as
manager of the baseball team
keep him busy. While he
doesn't get paid, he enjoys
being a part of the team by
picking up bats and gloves,
retrieving foul balls, and getgetting the team ready for

Eugene

-- emerging from a prison of the mind

By Scott Moore

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

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

Eugene considers himself
to be a rare individual, '' one

At the end of the third
for himself. 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.

This month is an anniversary of sorts for Dai Ly, an
LCC electronics student.
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

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

four hours of sleep each
night and given very little
food. Sometimes they'd
catch snakes or mice,
'' anything we could eat to
stay alive.''
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.''

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.

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

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.

Phrase the approp riate exit

Dear Annabanana,
It's almost that time of
year when I need to ten ·my
good friends good-bye. I'm
not really into long drawnout crying scenes, but I need
to be able to tell them it's
been great. What would you
say?
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!

LCC 'not an old age home'

by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Entertainment Editor

"This is a college, not an
old age home. Students have
a right to activities which
reflect their social interests as
well as their academic lives,"
says the ASLCC proposal
submitted by Serena Brooks,
ASLCC president.
Presented to Jack Carter,
vice president of Student
Services over 2 months ago,
the three-part proposal is a
request to lift the restrictions
which prohibit music and
other cultural activities in the
cafeteria during the "student
prime time," from 11:30 to
1:30 p.m.
The proposal states that
"after 1:30 p.m., not only are
there very few students remaining in the cafeteria, but
the ones who do remain are
poorly served by cultural activities because the campus

The proposal states that the
