'Early Bird' drivers can avoid traffic rush to LCC

A flight over an often-crowded intersection which provides access to LCC shows less
traffic than usual. The intersection is considered by some to be potentually dangerous.

LCC Alcohol Awareness Week to
clear up misconceptions
by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Editor

Does coffee really sober you up if you're
drunk? Or what about a cold shower? These
questions and others will be addressed during LCC's Alcohol Awareness Week, Oct.
27-31.
National Alcohol Awareness Week is intended to dispell '' common and dangerous
myths'' about alcohol, and replace them with
factual information, according to a press
release from the Will Rogers Institute.
National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness
week is Oct. 17-25, but according to Sandra
Ing, director of Specialized Student Services,
LCC will follow a week later so that the college has time to make all the necessary
arrangements. ''Hopefully, the publicity from
the national week will make people more
aware and prepare them for our week,'' she
says.
Athletic Trainer Janet Anderson says that
the college will focus its activities on Wednesday, Oct. 29. Alcohol rehabilitation service
providers such as Alcoholics Anonymous,
Horizon Recovery Center, and Serenity Lane
will be in the center area of the cafeteria from
10:30 to 2 p.m.
Representatives will provide information
about the services available to students and
staff.

During this time period, the Renaissance
Room will serve "mocktails" for 50 cents
each, "to show that you can have a good time
without alcohol,'' says Anderson.
A film or video presentation is being
scheduled for Wednesday, as well,
"probably from Serenity Lane," says
Counselor Tim Blood. He adds that the time
and place have not yet been worked out.
The awareness week activities will attempt
to clear up commonly held misconceptions
about alcohol. One common myth is that coffee can sober a drunk. But according to the
press release, if a person drinks ''one too
many,,, then has a cup of coffee and drives,
he or ·she is just a wide-awake drunk behind
the wheel.
The belief that a cold shower can sober a
drunk is also a myth -- it only creates a wet
drunk.
Other tips:
• Never drink on an empty stomach. Solid
food slows down the alcohol absorbsion rate.
• Pace the drinks, to control the amount of
alcohol intake.
• A void drinking when depressed. Alcohol
intensifies the mood of a drinker, so one's
mood should be taken into consideration
prior to consumption.
• Don't drive after drinking. Intoxicated
drivers are involved in over 50 percent of all
driving fatalities.

TORCH photographer
Glennis Pahlmann and I accompanied LCC Flight Instructor Pat Holbert on an
early morning rendezvous
with the daily traffic flow on
Tuesday morning, Oct. 14.
A low fog cover blanketed
the Eugene area before takeoff, but once airborne we
were hundreds of feet above
the fog, flying southeast into
a clear morning sunrise.
At 7:45 we flew along the
vein of 1-5 traffic to the LCC
off-ramp. The flow to the exit
was steady, but seemed to
move slowly through the
stop sign onto McVey Road.
Holbert suggested we
''buzz'' around the campus
and ·get pictures before the

rush of students to early
classes brought the most traffic. As we did, we noticed
the sparsely filled parking
lots.
Then, back to I-5 again, we
noticed two additional traffic
lines forming: On 30th
Avenue, across from the
Eldon Schafer Drive entrance
to LCC, a line of 20 vehicles;
and at the McVey Road intersection with the 30th
a
Avenue/I-5 overp.1ss,
32-car line. Holbert commented: "We (Flight
Technology instruc~ors and
students) fly th Li area
regularly on student training
flights and these places are
pretty well backed-up a lot of
the time."
At 8:05, 1-5 was as Holbert
described -- 20 cars were
backed-up while attempting
to enter McVey Road. But it
was a relatively low number
for the hour, Holbert agreed.
The lme lacked 10 cars before
it would trail onto the
freeway, as it usually does on

Transient alarms cook
by Lois Grammon
staff writer

When she came to work at 5:20 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 10,
an unidentified man confronted Food Service fry cook Ann
Braun.
She says the incident took place after she parked her car
in the "horseshoe" lot east of the Machine Technology
Building.
"I got out of my car, locked the door, started walking
down towards the college, and this guy came out of the
shrubbery,'' says Braun.
"He stood there, and pretty soon he came towards me.
So I kind of backed away, said 'what do you want?' But he
said nothing and kept walking towards me," Braun says.
She ran to her car, drove down to the Center Building,
and called Campus Security. Braun says,'' they found him,
and told him to get off campus, then led him off to the
_
freeway."

Stern penalties

To the Editor,
Sure, Oregon has a death
penalty, but the manner of
execution (lethal injection)
doesn't go far enough. I
have, let's say, a modest proposal for doing away with
these inconviences to society.
None of this hanging, firing squad, or beheading stuff
is justifiable either because
murderers don't deserve
such quick, relatively
painless treatment. I'd prefer
these suckers be tied up and
lowered into tubs of corrosive chemicals. No, not
powerful acid (too quick) but
something that will take' em
a while to die in.
These chemicals should
take several hours to completely burn off the
prisoner's skin. But make
sure the tub is deep enough
so that during the prisoner's
struggle, he'll ingest some of
the chemicals. This will insure that his lungs and throat
will receive intensive burns.
If, after a few hours, the subject is still alive, and didn't
die of shock or toxemia, then
pull him out and leave his
burned-up body exposed.
After a while he'll die of

hypothermia; if not, throw
him into an incinerator or use
some other method to finish
him off.
Cruel you say? Unconstitutional? Barbaric? Hardly. The
Supreme Court currently
says it's okay to kill a baby
after the second trimester
with a procedure identical to
the proposal I've mentioned
-- except, instead of a tub of
acid, the baby is burned-up
with a saline solution while
it's still in the womb.
If such a practice is good
enough to inflict on an innocent baby, it's good enough
_for murderers, isn't it?

Former LCC Student

State options
To the Editor
Ballot Measure 6 is one of
the most controversial of the
wide-range of ballot
measures facing Oregon
voters on Nov. 4.
It asks: "Shall the Oregon
Constitution be amended to
prohibit using state monies
to fund abortions except to
prevent death of the
mother?''
Women with the ability ·to
pay for their own medical expenses will not be affected by

the passage or defeat of
Ballot Measure 6. This proposed constitutional amendment does not attempt to
challenge the U.S. Supreme
Court's recently reconfirmed
decision to keep abortion a
safe and legal option. Instead, Ballot Measure 6 is a
direct attack on the rights of
low-income women who are
dependent on the state for
their medical care.
Oregon law states that,
within the limits of available
funds, assistance shall be
provided to those who are
'' categorically or medically
needy.'' Eligible women and
their children receive funding from the state for all of
their medical costs, including
reproductive health care.
Currently in Oregon, any
woman faced with an
unplanned pregnancy has
the same three options,
whether she is dependent on
the state for her medical care
or not: she can carry the
pregnancy to term and keep
the child; carry the pregnancy to term and give the child
up for adoption; or end the
pregnancy with an abortion.
This is a complex and emotional decision and one that
must be made in accordance
with the woman's own personal, religious and moral

·i_::_,,• ,,:: ·, ,-,,, - %'-'·,~.,, ,,,,.'..:',,,,,,~LL J

convictions. In the case of
dependent
medically
women, the state now maintains neutrality by paying
fully for each of these three
options.
In fiscal year 1984--85, the
State of Oregon paid a total
of $10,045,716 for 4,574
public assistance deliveries.
This figure represents prenatal care and delivery costs
only, at an average cost of
$2,195.78. In that same
period, the state paid a total
of $325,745 for 1,602 public
assistance abortions, at an
average cost of $202.08. In
the 1985-86 fiscal year there
were 1,209 state-funded
abortions (a reduction by 400
from the previous year) for a
total cost of $236,695.
Money is clearly not the
issue. Ballot Measure 6
represents an ultimately
fruitless effort to legislate
morality, based on the personal, moral and religious
dictates of only one segment
of our population. It is , for
this reason that Ballot
Measure 6 must be defeated.
The fact that it is so extreme
-- making no exception for
rape, incest or a woman's
health -- should serve only to
heighten our commitment to
the defeat of this unjust
measure.

Ballot number 13: notagoo didea
forum by Rob Ward

for the TORCH

Ballot Measure 13, if passed, would amend the Oregon
Constitution and require voter registration 20 days before an
election. The sponsors of this measure believe it would
alleviate the possibilities of fraud in an election. There has
never been a proven vote of fraud in Oregon.
Currently, a person may register to vote up to the day
before an election. During the last eleven days prior to an
election, a person must bring proof of residence. This can be
done by bringing in a rent receipt or an envelope with a per•
son's new address on it.
Every time a person moves, they must re-register to vote.
So if anyone moves within 20 days prior to an election, they
are simply ineligible to vote. Who are the most mobile people

around (besides transients)? Students, of course.
We move for many different reasons. Roommate hassels,
rent increases, and break-ups are all reasons why a person
might have to move. It shouldn't infringe on a person's right
to vote. It is estimated that 70,000 people registered to vote
during the last ~O days in the Nov. '84 elections.

When people move, the last thing they are thinking about
is re-registering to vote (except me). Most people aren't
reminded until an election draws near that they aren't
registered to vote.
Should these people be penalized? By no means.
Homeowners are about the only people who know where
they will be in a few days, weeks, or months. Ballot Measure
13 will take away a basic right of all Americans. Let's stay .
democratic. VOTE NO on 13.

Drinking_ and driving].

Rationalizations cost too -much

by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Editor

Most of us drink alcohol.
We drink for a number of reasons: to
help us relax, to forget the worries of
the daily routine, or just to have a
good time.
After drinking, many of us drive.
And that's where the good time ends.
According to a pamphlet put out by
the Oregon Department of Motor
Vehicles, about 30,000 Oregonians are
arrested yearly for driving under the
influence of intoxicants .
For a first offense, the punishment is
the suspension of the your driver's
license for 90 days IF you agree to take
a breath test. If you refuse to take the
test your license can be suspended for
one year.
But that's not half of it.
In the US, half of all driving fatalities
involve drunk drivers, and one person

dies in an alcohol-related traffic accident every 35 minutes.
Dry stati;5tics, right? It could never
happen to us . We're not going to have
an accident, not after just a few drinks.
We're careful drivers. Besides, how

are we going to get home if we don't
drive?
We make such rationalizations all
the time -- and according to a Mothers
Against Drunk Drivers (MADD)
brochure, 75 people die daily because
of -- rationalizations.
The well-known fact is, the more we
drink, the more we lose our judgement. An otherwise perfectly safe
driver becomes hell on wheels after
too much alcohol. And the party turns
• into a nightmare .
Alcohol doesn't kill people . Cars
don't kill people. People -- just like us
-- kill people.
If each of us were to make alternate
transportation arrangements prior to
drinking, 27,500 lives per year would
be saved.
Sure, it takes a little more time and
thought. But it's a good idea. It may
save a life -- and it could be yours.

World peace starts at home
forum by Ron Robbins

for the TORCH

Current events seem to tell us only our
leaders can shape the path to world peace;
that the world is too big, too complicated, to
be affected by us ordinary people. As your
student representatives, we ASLCC Senators
and officers believe ''World Peace begins at
home.''
Peace is not like some sack of groceries
brought home from afar. Peace is not
something created somewhere else and
trucked in like fresh fish.
Peace begins within each of us when we are
willing to trust the people around us. Peace
begins when we can take the time to listen,
work to prevent misunderstandings, and
care about the people we come in contact
with. And all that takes effort.
It's easier to just think of yourself, to divide
the world into those you care about and the
rest of the world. Besides, it's not as if you
don't care about the rest of the world, it's just
that ''What can you do about problems in
Africa or India?''
Imagine this: at first you don't care one
way or another about some people. Then,
because they are different than you, you
dislike them. Next, you cut them out of your
circle of friends. This is the way peace ends.
Ultimately your country and theirs go to war,

each side believing they are right, that they
are sure to win. So we wait for victory. We
wait for someone else to bring us peace as if
we are incapable of creating peace in our daily lives.
The ASLCC would like to suggest a radical
idea. World Peace begins at home.
An advantage to this view of world peace is
that it makes the part of the world you are
closest to a better place, a more understanding, more humane place to live in. Rather
than having someone else's idea of peace
brought home from Iceland or Geneva; we
believe peace is something you create.
When you put out the effort to create or
keep good feelings between you and those
you are close to--that' s working for peace. As
you distrust people conjure up evil intent you
make your world a colder place to live in.
The next time someone ignores you or
treats you like a thing, and you are ready to
tell them about it, remember, World Peace
begins at home. It will always be easier to
strike back or to get even. It will always be
easier to wait for someone else to make
peace, to wait for world leaders to solve our
problems for us.
But it isn't very likely to happen.
With our daily actions, we craft either a
world of peace and honesty and trust, ·o r a
world of apathy, mistrust, and suspicion.
WORLD PEACE BEGINS AT HOME.

Hunger,

though a second copy of the
questionnaire was personally
delivered to his campaign
manager. It concerns us that,
with the election only six
weeks off, no specific platform was available on
hunger or any other substantive issue, at Long's Eugene
office (9/23/86). Three inSenator

Packwood's office also

The Fourth Congressional
District has been fortunate to
have been represented by
two people who have made
hunger issues one of their

Timely responses by Bauman

Clean writing
To the Editor,
I'm glad to hear that journalism is being taken to new
heights. Not only has the

Backstage

Torch avoided muckraking,
we are now being instructed
to wash our hands after
visiting the bathroom.
Bravo! It's about time the
paper was concerned with
our bodies as well as our
minds.
In line with your survey on
how many people wash their
hands after visiting the
bathroom I would like to
make a modest proposal.
First, hand washing should
be mandatory for all
students, staff, and visitors
who use the LCC bathrooms.
Signs should be posted
above all urinals and on the
inside door of all stalls.
SecondJy, alarm systems
should be installed in the entrance ways leading out of
the bathrooms. Any hands
which are placed on door
handles would immediately
be scanned for possible
germs. (I'm sure the wise
folks in the science departdesign
could
ment
something.) If the bathroom
user is found guilty of
violating basic hygiene rules
they would immediately be
sprayed on the back of the
hand with indelible brown
paint. That should teach
them to clean up their act!
Keep up the good work.

For Siporin, getting involved pays·
by Lisa Knudson
TORCH Staff Writer

' 'We have a misconception about what freedom of the
press means, and how democracy works .. .in order to beeffective, we have to be educated about issues and what's going on around us," says Alan Siporin, host of KLCC's Blue
Plate Special.
Siporin, 37, has lived in Eugene for the past sixteen years.
Four years ago he attended LCC with no intentions of getting
involved with radio broadcasting.
But '' everyone told me I was a natural, so I looked at my
options and thought I'd give it a shot."
Accordingly, Siporin started at KLCC as a volunteer, and
six months later he took on a full time job. He draws a line
between "book room learning," and actually "getting in-

valved,'' and after four years of broadcasting, Siporin thinks
that the opportunity to actually get involved is worth more
than financial gains.
''The money that I would be getting by going into commercialism would be greater,'' he says, ''but that's not as important to me as being able to express my topics in depth, instead
of just skimming over things.''
Besides winning five awards from Sigma Delta Chi, the National Society for Professional Journalists, one of the most important influences in Siporin' s career was a trip to Nicaragua.
"That's when I decided I wanted to be a reporter and maybe
travel. I didn't want a desk job."
Siporin likes broadcasting interviews and political news the
most. "I like learning from what I do," he says, "I've surpris• ed myself .. .! did an interview on a piano tuner, and I knew
nothing whatsoever about the subject."
As well as broad~asting, he also teaches a course on Audio
Production and freelancing national public radio at LCC.
If Siporin had to pick another profession, he says he would
work on a massive project, like a novel. Another choice:
changing the planet.
"I would like to make the news, rather than just reporting
it," he says.

ASLCC cites record gain
by Robert Wolfe

last year.
A new facet designed to
collect pop cans is being
planned, and is expected to
produce even more income,
Jordan added.
Jordan and his assistants,
Mick Spencer, Mike Taylor,
and Dave McElheny have
spent
the
summer
ouverhauling the entire
porgram. All 52 recycling
barrels are receiving 'Titan
blue-and-white' paint jobs,
and signs explaining the uses
of collected money are being
placed nearby.
Five different types of
paper are collected, including white bond, colored
paper, computer paper,
newsprint, and computer
newsprint. Workers dump
collected paper into seperate
dumpsters behind the
cafeteria kitchen. Once full,
they are transported to Northwest Resources, a recycling
company in Santa Clara.

Alan Siporin, KLCC Blue Plate Host, had no intentions of being a radio talk show host, but everyone told him he was a
natural.

Record revenues are
predicted this year for the
ASLCC recycling program
due to greater participation,
a new organization, and
higher visibiljty, according to
Recycling Coordinator Victor
Jordan.
''The efficiency of the
operation and participation
by the departments should
result in more income than
ever before," says Jor:dan.
Summer term receipts
were an all-time high of $161,
according to Jordan. Money
generated by the project is
used to fund cultural events
and other student government projects.
Jordan credits increased
departmental participation
for most of the rise in
receipts. This year, 87 percent of all departments are
participating in recycling, an
increase of 40 percent over

"We had a transient on campus. It was a foggy morning,
and he said he lost his way."
Chase says shortly before the reported incident, a security officer had confronted the transient and asked him to
leave campus. ''He was in the process of leaving,'' when
he met Braun.
Chase assures the employees that security officers will be
in the proximity of early arriving college employees, either
at the expected time, or just before.
''It's not consistent with patrol procedure to be in a
precise place at a precise time," he adds.

Figures presented Oct. 8 to
the LCC Board of Education
meeting show projected FullTime Equivalent (FTE) enrollment for 1986-87 to be 7748,
raising the college's hopes
that enrollment will halt its
downward spiral and level
off.
The FTE is a measurement
of one student enrolled fulltime, or the equivalent -- two
students at half-time, ot a
combination equal to a fulltime credit load.
State funding is allocated
on the basis of $1,468 for
each of the first 1, 100 fulltime equivalent students,
and $1,114 for each additional student, (up to a state
assigned maximum). The
FTE is probably the most important figure in determining
cutbacks or expansion in services that the college is able
to provide.
The college estimates a
leveling off of the nosedive in
FTE enrollment, (dropping
·&om 9512 FTE in 1981-82 to
7816 in 1985-86). Jacqueline
Belcher, vice president for
the Office of Instruction,
predicts ''There would be
another year of leveling-out
and then a slow rise.''
As part of her office's effort
to reverse the decline in the
student population, Belcher
is working with her Instructional Cabinet, consisting of
the 18 instructional department heads and the 3 deans
for instructional areas.
This cabinet is currently
looking at employment and
educational trends, and ways
to serve sttrdents. The
cabinet is also examining the
current needs of the evening
program and whether to expand its offerings.
Asked whether she
thought that cutbacks in
federal student aid could impact anticipated FTE levels,
Belcher noted that this was
an obvious concern ''because
students need the aid,'' but
that lobbying through Lane
Community
College's
association with the
American Association of
Community and Junior Colleges will let legislators know
that the need is there.

KLCC prais ed for its 'unique' contr ibutio n

Three of the six KLCC staff members cited for exellence display their plaque.
by Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writer

Staff members of KLCC
radio station have been
awarded the "Outstanding
Classified and Support
Staff'' award from LCC for
1985-86. This is the first time
in its history that the award
has been given to a team
rather than an individual.
The staff of KLCC, broadcasting from its studios in the
Forum Building, have been
recognized for '' unique service and contribution to the

college above and beyond
the expected standard,''
states the award.
Named on the award are:
Stephen Barton, chief
engineer; Kris Fox, traffic
and continuity; Don Hein,
news director; Michael Canning, music and operations
director; Evelyn Lee, office
manager; and Paula Chan
Gallagher, development
director.
''While only six people are
named on the award,'' says
Jon Schwartz, station

manager, '' there are 70 people working here who helped
earn it. The six named are in
charge of specific areas and
the people working in those
areas. Each area is important
to the others and I really
believe that everyone
together earned the award-. It
was a team effort. 11
exemplifies
"KLCC
enlightened management,''
says Station Advisor and
Consultant Jim Dunne.
"They're first rate people
who know their job and love
what they do. As a result the
work gets done and the community supports them.''
Over 70 people make up
the KLCC work force. Five
full-timers and eight parttimers are paid employees,
and the balance is comprised
students,
CWE
of
work/study students, and

community volunteers. They
all work at keeping KLCC the
fifth most popular public
radio station in the US, and
the number-one jazz station
in terms of impact for its
coverage area.
''We also won first place
nationally -- for the second
year in a row -- for excellence
in advertising and promotion
from the Corporation of
Public Broadcasting,'' says
Schwartz.
''This is all pretty impressive when you realize
that not only do we have to
maintain a high quality service (in order to win these
awards) but at the same time
we must work at providing
70 percent of our budget. 11
When KLCC was founded
in 1967 (then known by the
call letters of KPNW) it
originally received 90 percent
of it's funding from LCC.
Now the station receives only 10 percent from LCC, and
petitions for another 20 percent from the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting. It must
raise the remaining 70 percent through listener pledges
and business program
underwriting.
Dunne feels that the station provides an important
service to the community
through its programming,
and as a result receives
strong community support.
''The collection rate of
pledges made to the station
is as high or higher than the
collection rate of property
taxes. That means more people are paying their pledges
than taxes.
"This station is truly about
diversity. We receive support

from doctors, lawyers,
Donuts," says
Dunkin
Dunne. "I've even had people drive up on campus in
big semi-trucks, leave the
motor running, jump out
and say, 'I've heard you on
the radio. You need money?
Here!' That's community
support.''
the
of
area
The
''community'' served by the
86,000 watt station extends
from the outskirts of
Portland (and even up into
White Salmon, WA) in the
north, Prineville to the east,
south fo Cave Juction and
along the coast from Coos
Bay to Lincoln.
KLCC is the only member
of National Public Radio in
Eugene, and also has the
single strongest transmitter
in the state. The strength of
that signal enables over
30,000 listeners per week to
tune in to jazz, new age, folk,
blues, reggae, electronic and
women's music. In addition
to this variety, one-third of
the air time is spent on news.
''We do more news than
any other station in the
commented
state,''
Schwartz. "I think that's appropriate since we are attached to a learning institution. 11
KLCC offers qualified
students and members of the
public an opportunity to
volunteer in various
capacities both on and off the
air.

A sign reading, "Site of
Future Classroom Building''
has stood between the
Forum Building and the
Science Building for the past
two and a half years, but
nothing has been built.
According to Bill Berry,
vice president for Administrative Services, plans
to build started about five
years ago, when the enrollment at LCC was about 2,000
students more than it is now.
There was a tremendous
need for more classrooms
and the board agreed the
school should fill that need.
The space between the
Science and Forum Buildings
was chosen because the tunnel system at Lane, which
connects all the buildings to
the utilities, has what is called a stub at that site. The
stub makes it possible for a
building constructed there to
be connected to the utilities

The original plan was to
have a six-classroom building
constructed for general use.
when the
Unfortunately,
construction companies submitted their bids, the lowest
was approximately 130 percent more than the school
had estimated.
As the next academic year
started and admissions
declined, so did the pressure
for the new structure, and it
was decided that the school
should accommodate the requirements for additional
classroom space other ways.
College money, however,
has already been spent.
The amount set aside for
designs and miscellaneous
work before construction of
the building was $44,000.
The school spent $38,608 on
an architectural engineering
design. An allocation of
$3,300 was set aside for investigating the site, and
$3,042 was went to excavation, bringing the total spent
to approximately $50,000.

for the work they perform.
Joann Ellingson, who will coordinate the
Early Childhood Education and Home
Economic programs, replaces Francis
Clark, who retired last year. In the
Criminal Justice program, Tom Hickey will
serve as coordinator, replacing Michele

Legal Services Office
extends operating hours

by Linda Holmes
for the TORCH

This fall the Legal Services Office, sponsored by the ASLCC, has expanded its
hours to include evening appointments.
Lawyers will be available on alternating
Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m., in addition to
their regular hours which are Tuesday
through Thursday, from 1:30 p.m. to 5
p.m., and alternating Fridays, 9 a.m. to
noon.
Any student. wh9 has a legal problem
and is currently registered at LCC for
credit classes may see a lawyer free of
charge. Appointments are required and
may be made by calling extension 2340, or
by visiting the office, located on the second floor concourse of the Center
Building, across from the Job Board.
The Legal Services staff includes lawyers
Stanley Cram and Rick Harder; Linday
Mason, legal assistant; and Joan Pllack,
work/study student.

Some of the routine legal services provided by the office are uncontested
divorces, simple wills, name changes, and
expungement of criminal records.
The service is also an advocate for the
rights of students involved in situations
such as landlord/tenant disputes, consumer complaints, welfare and food stamp
matters, and unemployment benefits
claims.
It provides general advice and consultation on most other legal topics, including
the review of legal documents, pending
criminal matters, and contested divorces.
But due to limited resources, Legal Services will not provide representation at a
contested hearing or trial, according to
Mason. In most of these cases, she says,
the office can make appropriate referrals.

There is a great multitude of obstacles all hunters must
hurdle each time they set out to hunt. Some are just a wee
bit heavier than they should be, as many of hunters
discover the first weekend out.
If you are a hunter, you.begin to wonder why there isn't
a ropetow to aid your rotund body up the hill.
Getting there is only half the battle. Once settled in, an
open war begins as you strain to hear familiar deer sounds
over furiously buzzing bees, and obnoxious flies.
And dry weather amplifies every noise. Picture yourself
sitting beneath a fir tree. It is very placid and serene, until
suddenly KATHUD it sounds like someone has dropped a
strawberry into a dry bowl of cornflakes that is sitting next

Members of the LCC women's cross country team and their coach work out for an upcoming meet.

Womens' cross country
sets sights on Mt. Hood
by Val Brown

the entire team has great potential, there are
some barriers to overcome.

The LCC Womens' Cross Country team
was narrowly defeated by Mt. Hood Community College 33-32 in team competition at
the Mt. Hood Invitational last Saturday.
Diana Nicholas placed third in competition,
and team-mates Shelli Gray, Tammie Gardiner, and Val Quade finished close behind
in the fifth though seventh positions.

Many of the women did not complete a
summer workout sechedule, and that has left
some team-members behind. Nicole Lightlap
has a respiratory illness, and Taunya Pieratt
is suffering from a sore leg.
'' A poor summer base and lack of disipline
will lead to the runner tiring quickly and
becoming prone to injuries,'' explaines
Wilkens.
She is hopeful that Lightlap and Pieratt can
recover, and the team can pull together in
time for the national meet in November.
Prior to the NWAACC Championship meet
in Everett WA, Lane will host the Region IV
meet on Oct. 31, which will pit them against
their rival, Mt. Hood.

in 1986 he begins his roll as interim Athletic Director.
by Teresa Means

for the TORCH

Bob Foster is Acting
Athletic Director, but
although he is new to his
position, he is no stranger on
campus.
Foster, a Springfield High

part-time instructor and
assistant baseball coach,
eventually working his way
into a full time position.
In addition to teaching experience, Foster also has experience on the field. While
attending LCC, he played
both baseball and basketball.
While playing for OCE, he
was selected All-Conference

by Robert Wolfe

TORCH Staff Writer

Claiming the Oregon Education Association has "missed the boat in this election,"
by not fighting Proposition 9 (a property tax
limitation), gubernatorial candidate Norma
Paulus said Oct. 10 that the OEA "will lose
credibility in this election'' because it is sponsoring a sales tax proposal (Measure 7).
Paulus, Republican candidate for the
Oregon governer' s seat in the upcoming elections, visited the LCC campus on Oct. 10 for
over an hour, meeting with administrators
and receiving presentations from staff
members before spending 40 minutes
answering questions for a public audience of
about 60 people in the Performing Arts
Building.
Other topics included drug testing of student athletes and public employees, the
future of old growth timber, and the need for
new jails.
Paulus spoke at length on educational funding, saying passage of Ballot Measure 9
would create "serious" problems for schools,
particularly grades K-12. She also stated that
polls show Ballot Measure 7 has '' no chance
at all'' to pass in the November elections.
Ballot Measure 9 would limit property taxes
to 2 percent of assesed value for the first year,
and 1.5 percent thereafter. Ballot Measure 7

seeks to implement a five percent sales tax on
some goods, to finance schools, and a 1.5
percent property tax limit. Property taxes are
the major source of funding for public
schools in Oregon.
Old growth forest and the wood products
industry also received attention. Paulus has
faith that the industry could regain its
economic strength, declaring '' Oregon grows
trees better than anywhere in the world.''
But she also said ''It will take the wisdom of
Solomon and great integrity," to balance the
needs of the industry with environmental
concerns.
Informed of LCC' s proposed mandatory
drug testing for student athletes, Paulus
spoke out against drug testing of athletes and
government employees. She suggested
athletes sign a voluntary pledge of non-use.
Referring to testing in private industry, she
commented "It's none of my business."
Citing a '' frightening trend'' of citizens
buying personal weapons and guard dogs for
protection, she claimed taxpayers are unwilling to give the government enough
money to handle the problem of jail cell shortages. Saying "We need more secure jail
space," and "hard beds," Paulus promoted
a plan to privitize jail services, claiming it
would reduce expenses by 35 percent. She
also proposed regional parole boards, giving
communities control of locally convicted
criminals.

sounds ever since man picked up a stone and set forth to
forage.
But now mankind must contend with ''modern noises.''
What, you ask, are modern noises? There is the steady
hum of an electric sub station, as well as the roar of street
noise -- and would you believe a plane flying overhead?
Yes, it's true. I was straining to hear the direction of a
deer that was bouncing away, when every sound in the
ecosystem was drowned out by a twin-engine plane.
And people with their pet llamas roaming on "happy
hunting grounds" pose a problem, too, especially when
the llama is the same color a_deer is.
People and their All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) have also
complicated matters. I've often contemplated taking target
practice on people who are ruining roads, and for all practical purposes trespassing on private property. Luckily for
the ATVers, my senses take over.
As long as there are deer on the earth there will be
hunters. And I suppose that even when hightech takes
over, and lazer rifles are the standard hunting weapon,
hunters will have to strain to hear over the sounds ofhover-craft and transport beams.

Turner·sizzles as time-tra veling Peggy Sue

by Lois Grammon

TORCH Entertainment Editor

If she got a chance to live her life over
again, she would do it all differently, Peggy
Sue tells her friends at their 25th high school
reunion.
But that is before she wakes up as a
17-year-old in 1960, with her 42 years of experience intact.
Kathleen Turner stars as time-traveler
Peggy Sue Keleher in the long awaited
''Peggy Sue Got Married,'' directed by Francis Coppola and produced by Paul Gurion.
There are obvious parallels between this
movie and last year's blockbuster ''Back to
the Future." However, the tight plotting of
"Future" is played to-the-hilt for laughs, and
"Peggy Sue" has at times a touch of the
twilight zone.
And characters in "Future" attempt to recreate events so that the future can remain
unchanged, while Turner's character determines to keep from repeating her mistakes.
Reliving her life brings some unexpected
dilemmas to Peggy Sue, the most
troublesome being her relationship with her
then-high school sweetheart Charlie, played
by Nicholas Cage.
Cage's overacting makes "Crazy Charlie"
have an almost cartoon-like quality, and he is
never convincing. As the teenaged crooner,
his suaveness is just silly, and his middleaged-bumbling-appliance- salesman-andrepentant-husband falls flat.
At the reunion Peggy and Charlie are on
the verge of divorce, and when she lands
back in 1960, Peggy Sue sees a chance to
escape being married to the guy.
As a middle-aged woman trying to live the
life of a teenager, Turner's finesse keeps the
sometimes touching moments from sliding
into sentimentality.
One day Peggy Sue picks up the phone and

is overcome with emotion when she hears
the voice of her grandmother who was long
dead in 1985. Then, when she sees her little
sister as the preteen she once was, she tells
her "I want us to be closer. I have too many
unresolved relationships." Little Nancy
responds, "teenagers are weird."
People all around Peggy Sue are puzzled
by the changes they see, and she herself is
frustrated at times by the challenge of facing
her life as it once was.
Yet she relishes the opportunity.
In one comical scene, she belts out a fervent
rendition of "My Country 'Tis of Thee,
startling her classmates as they sing a more
subdued version.
Contrasts between the cultures and slang
of 1960 and 1985 are ever-present, ranging
from fun to hilarious. Peggy Sue erupts in
laughter when her father buys an Edsel, and
on one occasion when he grounds her, she
tells him, "I'm an adult, I want to have fun.
I'm going to Liverpool to discover the
Beatles.
Photographers create a romantic and
nostalgic mood, and a surreal, dreamlike
quality dominates the scenes, intensifying
the _sensation of traveling through a timewarp.
The screenplay for "Peggy Sue" was written in 1983, long before "Back to the Future"
was released, but production problems caused several delays. Directors Penny Marshall
and Jonathan Demme defected, as did Debra
Winger, originally cast as Peggy Sue.
The usually sizzling Turner is wonderful as
the bemused woman caught in her past, and
her performance alone makes it worthwhile.
The movie's deficiencies are not major
enough to keep it from being one of most
refreshing movies of this year.
And maybe Peggy Sue will get married
Peggy Sue (Kathleen Turner), wearing her original prom
after all.
gown, is crowned queen of her 25th reunion.
