LCC, German instructor exchange posts
by Virginia Macoun

for the TORCH

Mechtild Hesse, an instructor from West Germany
brought to the US through
the Fulbright Scholarship exchange program, has exchanged positions with LCC
Composition and Literature
Instructor, Britta Hansen.
"Medi" is one of 28
Fulbright exchange teachers
in the country this year and
the first Fulbright Scholar at
LCC.
Taking over Hansen's
classes has meant few problems for Hesse although a
change in t~xtbook assignment means re-thinking her
approach to English Composition classes. She says she
has adjusted fairly easily to
teaching in her second
language and when she has
an occasional problem witl a
word. "My students are my
dictionary," she says.
Hesse has been teaching
English and a wide variety of
sports (concentrating on
volleyball), for 15 years in
main
The
Germany.

academic difference she has
noticed at LCC is the increased emphasis on testing. In
Germany, she says students
have only two examinations
a year. Instructors place
more emphasis ·upon class
discussions and student oral
presentations rather than
written work.
She has found it difficult to
draw comparisons between
the German and US education systems because, she
says, the two systems are
vastly different. The closest
to a community college in
Germany is a vocational
school.
Soon Hesse will travel to
Portland to meet with other
Fulbright Scholars now in
the Northwest. One person
is travelling from Alaska for
the meeting.
Hesse is acwmpani(3d by
her husband . Gunter and
their 9-year-old daughter,
Anna. Gunter Hesse is also
at LCC, teaching two accounting classes, temporarily
replacing a faculty member
who is on medical leave.

World Food Day observed
by Diane Davis

for the TORCH

"We have to look at the Third-world countries, not as a
problem, but as a potential,'' declared Her Excellency Cecilia
Lopez de Rodriquez via television during the Oct. 16 World
Food Day Teleconference held in the LCC Boardroom.
Dr. Rodriquez was one of four panelists participating in a
World Food Day observance, held in nearly 150 countries,
discussing the dilemma of "hunger admidst plenty," and exploring the potentials of Third World countries.
World Food Day (WFD) is an opportunity for people world
wide to join together to declare their support of measures to
end hunger and build food security for all. Participations in
WFD by the US and Canada carried a special message to the
world as these two countries alone hold more than one-third
of the world's grain reserve. They also account for two-thirds
of all grain exports and contribute two-thirds of all food aid.
Described as a ''North American town meeting'' by the Nasee Hunger, page 5

LCC' s new part-time accounting instructor hadn't planned to teach this year.
Gunter Hesse, a native of Bad Humburg,
West Germany, originally expected to take a
year's leave from his teaching position in
Germany. His wife Mechtild (Medi) and
LCC' s Britta Hansen had arranged to trade
jobs through the Fulbright teaching exchange program. So, Gunther expected to
live in Oregon as a "house man" for the
family, which also includes daughter Anna.
But when LCC' s regular accounting instructor Gordon Werner requested a leave
of absence for medical reasons, the college
hired Gunter Hesse to assume Wehner's
duties.
Asked if he is teaching his LCC courses as
he would at home, he replied, "Accounting
is an international subject. I'm just teaching
in another language. You don't have a very
big choice to teach it in another way.''
Athough the subject matter is the same,
Hesse finds many differences in other
asp~cts of his two teaching situations.
LCC accounting students cover much

more material in a year than do their German counterparts, since accounting is a
university-transfer course here. LCC
courses lean toward a theoretical emphasis,
while German classes are oriented more
toward the practical.
In West Germany, Hesse teaches in a
vocational school, where the student program is much like an apprenticeship. Each
student works. at a paid job three or four
days a week and is required to attend school
two days weekly. Programs take two to
three years to complete, depending on the
subject area. The student takes a final examination and receives a certificate. ''If they
write a good examination, they get good
jobs," says Hesse.
• Class size is another difference. A typical
class in Germany has 15 to 25 students,
while each of Hesse's classes has over 40
students. His American students, as a
group are several years older than those in
Germany, and he finds the Americans very
, motivated and hard-working.

No renter relief
forum by Mary L. Unruh

Chair, LCC Board of Directors

In November, we will be
faced with yet another property tax limitation measure
-- Ballot Measure 9. Because
we feel that this is an irresponsible approach to cutting taxes, the LCC Board of
Directors, which I chair, has
voted qnanimously to oppose it.
This measure quite blatantly is against the best interests
of the community in that it
would:
• Cut police and fire protection
• Severely curtail the ability
of schools to accomplish their
mission and in some cases
would force school closures
altogether
• Eliminate local community control because the
Legislature and the courts
would then make our local
funding decisions
• Cut $1.2 billion in community services in the first
two years, unless voters
override the 1 1/2 percent
limit

• Fail to provide renter
relief. Moreover, it would
not specifically address the
property tax relief of individuals in that only 40 percent of the relief dollars
would actually go to
homeowners.
More specific to LCC' s
ability to serve you, this
measure would slash $2.3
million in the first year and
$6.2 million in the second
year from an already tight
college budget. This can only
of
effect
the
have
diminishing our ability to
serve you!
In the first year at LCC,
educational opportunities for
nearly 3,000 patrons would
be eliminated with a 20 percent reduction of the current
property tax levy. In the second year, the Oregon
Legislative Revenue Department estimates that revenue
lost from local property taxes
would be 55 percent.
Tax relief without maintaining our quality of life is
no relief at all. We are proud
of our state, our college, and
our way of life. We would
severely compromise it
through this measure which

not only offers no cure, but
instead offers only cuts,
chaos and misdirected relief.
We have overcome this
kind of irresponsibility four
times in eight years. Let's
make it five times on Nov. 4,
by defeating Ballot Measure
9.

Irrelevant pastime
forum by Rob Ward

ASLCC President

Isn't World Series Week wonderful? We can concentrate
our thoughts on who is going to win four out of seven
baseball games. We can get our minds off the trivial issues of
the day. Who cares about world hunger, unemployment,
financial aid, and the cold war? Let's immerse ourselves in
America's pastime!
So baseball is America's pastime. I would like to think that
feeding and housing people would be our national pastime.
Creating economic opportunities would be a great way for
Budweiser and Miller to spend their advertising dollars. . . .
I have nothing against baseball. I just think that paying so. meone thousands of dollars a year to hit and field a little
white ball is ludicrous. Hey, free enterprise and all that. I
know. But baseball players, when they're on the road, also
get $35 a day meal money. They also get their hotel rooms
paid for. I know families that eat on $35 a week. I guess it's
their fault they don't know how to play baseball.
I'm frustrated because I think. more attention should be
paid to the problems of the day. But in our information-laden
society we are bombarded with so much stuff that it's easy to
forget. It's easier to turn on the boob tube.

One little vote doesn't matte'r?
by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Editor

How many of us who are eligible to
vote are actually exercising our rights
to do so? And why do some of us vote
while others abstain?
In recent years, voter registration in
Lane County has decreased by the
thousands.
According to David Spriggs, administrator for the Lane County Elections Division, 165,048 of us registered
to vote in the 1982 general election. In
the 1984 presidental election, that
number dropped to 160,915. And so
far this year, there are even fewer of us
registered, a total 141,500 as of Oct. 21.
Spriggs attributes our dwindling
numbers to the fact . that many Lane
County residents have moved
elsewhere, due to our poor economy.
According to an informal TORCH
survey, students ·have all kinds of
good reasons not to vote:
• Classes, work schedules, and our
personal lives are so demanding that
Page 2· The TORCff

analyzing the issues, weighing the
pros and cons, and then actually finding the time to vote may seem to be
too much of a hassle.
• A few of us think that the government has all the decisions made
anyway, and is only using the vote to
'' pacify the masses'' into thinking that
we have sway.
• And for some of us, it seems that
our vote is just one tiny grain of sand

on the overwhelmingly large beach of
life -- our vote just doesn't matter.
But it does.
Our opportunity to vote is our
chance to help change our government
for the better; to help guide ourselves
in the direction that we want to go.
One little vote doesn't matter?
Maybe not, in some cases. But there
have been several instances in history
when important decisions have been
brought before us at the polls, and
after the votes were tallied, the matter
was finally decided by only one or two
votes.
Perhaps a vote CAN be compared to
a tiny grain of sand on an enormous
beach.
I'm more apt to conclude, however,
that a vote is similar to a snowflake.
Usually, it takes hundreds of them to
create a snowstorm or snowman. But
occasionally, one well-placed
snowflake falls on a snow-covered
mountainside, and causes an entire
avalanche.

vote is fundamental to our
democracy and all eligible
Oregonians should insist on
exercising this right.

Oregon concerning an update on the status of the
legalization of marijuana in
Alaska.
As you know, marijuana
was legalized here by a
Supreme Court decision in
1975. Since that time, the
private possession and personal use of marijuana by
adults has been constitutionally protected .
This has worked out very
well in Alaska. There has
been no increase in the use of
drugs, and, indeed, if
anything there has been a
more intelligent approach to
the entire concept of use and

The decision itself was based upon an extremely extensive trial record that has

No. 6 unfair
to taxpayers

··M

forum by Cynthia A. Rahm

Coordinator, Taxpayers for a Responsible
Government

This year Oregonians have
an opportunity to pass a
ballot measure that provides
a responsible answer to an
epidemic.
In Oregon, it has certainly
gone too far when: • Two
out of every three women
who have had abortions willingly admit they use no birth
control;
• 42 percent of the women
who had an abortion in 1985
had at least one previous
abortion (Oregon Department
of Human Resources).
The. Supreme Court ruled
(Harris vs. McCrae, 1980)
that, 11 A woman's freedom
of choice does not carry with
it a constitutional entitlement
to financial resources.'' You
and I as taxpayers are not
obligated to pay for someone
else's private choice. The
federal government and 36
states restrict abortion funding - and none of these
decisions has ever been
reversed.
Public funding puts a
governmental stamp of approval on abortion. Dr. J.
Kusan
(professor
of
Economics, Humboldt State
University) in reviewing
statistics from the Center of
Disease Control found,
✓ ✓Those states· that provide
public funding for abortions
have higher rates of teenage •
pregnancy than do states
that do not provide funding." States that stop public
funding experience a drop in
pregnancy rates (15 percent
in Ohio, for example).
Do we really want to add to
. the 45,000 Oregon teenagers
who've had abortions by
continuing to promote it
through public funding?
·Enough is enough! It is irresponsible to require
Oregon taxpayers to pay the
bill for elective and often
repeated abortions.

Victims' Bill of Rights a wish list
forum by Kenneth Lerner
Eugene, Oregon

Ballot Measure 10, inaccurately called a ✓ /Victims' Bill of
Rights," ·offers nothing more than fool's gold. Instead, the
voters of this state are now the victims -- victims of a
simplistic catch-phrase campaign that conceals a horribly
complicated measure. Don't be fooled by this ~olf in
sheep's clothing. Voters would be wise to Vote No on this
ballot measure.
In November, voters will be asked again to approve a
wish list" similar to one that was rejected in
1984. This agenda is hidden by appealing to the publi(s
natural sympathy for crime victims. But, in its effort to write a
fair ballot title, the Orego~ Supreme Court labeled this a
measure that "revises many criminal laws concerning victims' rights, evidence, sentencing, parole.'' Obviously there
is more here than meets the eye -- no less than 14 separate
sections of complex legal jargon.
✓ /prosecutors'

NOTHING FOR CRIME VICTIMS
The irony of Ballot Measure 10 is that it offers so little for
crime victims. Nothing in the measure addresses the need to
provide adequate resources and services to the victims of
crime. There is no proposal to provide for more victim advocates to help crime victims navigate in the court system.
Even though reported crime is up, this measure does nothing
to address the need for safer streets or more police foot
patrols.
Instead, a few meaningless crumbs are offered to crime victims. Many of the provisions are unnecessary, either because
they are already law, or a matter of routine practice. Notification of court dates, and the opportunity for input is already
done. Courts can presently withhold the addresses of crime
victims if the~ is danger of harm by releasing th~m.
Crime victims are told that more compensatory fines will be
·allowed, yet that gesture is also an illusion. Most individuals ·
accused of crime haven't the abiµty to pay, and those involved in the criminal justice system know this. No realistic proposal to compensate or repair the crime victim is offered.

defendant at a trial. The remaining 1 percer:a.t are individuals
who are committed to the state mental hospital because they
are found to be not responsible due to serious mental disease
or defect. Statistics in other counties are similar. Clearly, and
indisputably, people accused of crimes are overwhelmingly
being convicted in the criminal courts. A margin of error of
less than 2 percent is a very thin one to play around with.
Measure 10 would add to the number of juror challenges
that prosecutors will have. Statistics show that their
challenges most frequently are used to exclude blacks,
minorities, and other vital segments of society.
Expanding the definition of who is a victim will allow the
prosecutor to have many witnesses present in the courtroom
listening to each other's testimony. Juries will not be assured
that each witness is independently recalling events. This
method of ✓ ✓keeping the prosecutor's story straight'' can
hardly be called fair or balanced . . . .
TAXPAYERS FOOT THE BILL
Other portions of this so-called victims' rights initiative
relate to the length of sentences, to the operation of the
parole board and to the length of time people must remain on
parole.

. Reform of the parole system is worthy of debate, but voters
•are not given the option of voting separately on this issue.
Nor are voters told that the cost of implementing this law
could run upwards of $20 million. Guess who will be footing
the bill?
According to the Department of Corrections, it is estimated
that at least one more 400-bed maximum security institution
will -be needed at costs that are astronomical. New prisons
cost approximately $60,000 per cell to build, and $30,000 per
ce~! to operate annually .

Goldschmidt outlined a ·
plan to revitalize the timber
industry in Oregon, the
state's largest revenue producer. Pointing out that the
Federal Government holds
80 percent of the timberproducing land in the state,
he expressed the need for a
coordinated harvesting plan
that would provide a steady
supply of logs from the 18
national forests in Oregon,
without ''raping the environment.'' He promoted the
concept of "value added"
timber products, using raw
lumber to create finished
products in the state instead
of exporting logs.
He also said that if it can be
shown that the Canadian
government is subsidizing
timber harvest in that country, he would support a 15
percent tariff on Canadian
lumber imports recently proposed by the Federal
Government.

tional Committee for World Food Day, participants nationwide engaged in food policy debates in national legislatures
and farm co-op meetings in rural villages. Thousands of colleges and universities hosted seminars on food problems,
while children studied agriculture, family nutrition and social
responsibility in their classrooms.
The focus was on what new steps North Americans can
take in the world hunger struggle.
World wide activities included religious services, food collections for the needy, town planning meetings and other activities on every continent.
The four panelists participating in the North American Interactive Satellite Videoconference sought to broaden public
.knowledge of world hun_ger and discuss international food
policy issues. Focus was placed on development strategies to
foster long-term sustainable agriculture, hunger alleviation
and improved quality of life for all.
Dr. Lopez has researched the role of women in Columbia's
agricultural economy, devoting her expertise as an economist
and ackowledged expert in the area of women in development to future agricultural training for the Columbian
women, who now produce 40 percent of that country's food.
Dr. Patricia Barnes-McConnell, Director of the BeanCowpea Collaborative Research Support Program (CRSP) at

CRSP scientists, funded under Title 12 of the Foreign
Assistance Act, are currently collaborating with scientists
from 37 host countries in research and on-site field work.
World Bank, represented on the panel by it's president Mr.
Barber Conable, is an institution devoted to helping and
assisting in the battle against hunger. The WB coordinates the
services and donations of a wide range of institutions, both
volunteer and governmental, and lends money to countries
seeking financial assistance to increase agricultural productivity.
The fourth panelist, Dr. Muhammad Yunus, is the Managing Director of the Grameen (Rural) Bank in Bhaka,
Bangladesh. The Grameen Bank, now five years old, makes
small loans -- averaging $60 -- to the rural poor of Bangladesh
in support of microenterprise development. To date the bank
has 226 local branches and a repayment rate of 99 percent.
Dr. Yunus, who won the Asian equivalent of the Nobel
Prize, developed the idea of the bank and has directed it's
services to the poorest of the poor in over 3,600 villages. Dr.
Yunus has also been called to the US to consult with
American banks and to testify before Congress on
microenterprise development.
Discussions during the teleconference 's first hour, from
9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., were limited to presentations by the
international panelists of their respective programs and institutions. The second hour was 'dark' as local sites held their
panel discussions and prepared questions for the international panelists. The third hour "live" broadcast was reserved solely for questions and answers between teleconference
receive sites and panelists.
Questions proposed during the third hour discussed the in·efficiencies of World Bank due to corruption; religious and
governmental restrictions of host countries; the methodology
of the Grameen Bank being adopted by World Bank; and the
solution to population growth in third-world countries.

Oregonians to decide fa~

Measure 9 could
limit LCC's future

by Beverly Moore

for the TORCH

Once again Oregonians will decide
at the voting polls whether to implement a state sales tax of five percent.

by Denise Abrams

TORCH Staff Writer

Measure 9 is a tax limitation that limits property taxes
to two percent in 1987 and then to 1 1/2 percent each
subsequent year. The current property tax rate is six
percent.
LCC claims that if Measure 9 passes, the college will
be forced to make cuts in employees, programs, and
services; and increases in book costs, tuitions, food
prices and service costs -- to make up for the lost
revenue.
''Those of us who have depended on tax bases for
many years will have them jerked out from under us.
We will have nothing as a foundation, whereas before
we had a tax base of $12.5 million. We will have to start
over with whatever the two percent yeilds the first year,
and then the 1 1/2 precent after that,'' says Vice
President of Administrative Services Bill Berry.
Approximately 50 percent of LCC' s revenue is derived
from the property taxes. LCC would lose up to 20
percent of its current $12.5 million budget, which would
be a $2.5 million loss the first year and $6.3 million loss
the second year.
''I have no quarrels with people who are paying high
property taxes," says Berry, "but there must be
something that provides some significant sums of
revenue, like a sales tax. I'm not talking nickels and
dimes, I'm talking hundreds of millions of dollars to
replace the slashing that Measure 9 will do."
Berry says the college administration has not yet
prepared a '' disaster plan, '' but says it has an idea of the
way it would make up for some of the lost revenue.
The 1986-87 budget for full-time classified personnel is
$4.5 million; full-time faculty is $7.7 million; and
management is $2.8 million. The institution's materials
and services budget is $2.5 million. "If you took away all
the materials and services, it would pay for the first
year's lost revenue, but that's totally unrealistic," says
Berry.
Berry is preparing LCC to do more with less, which
could mean less employees. To compensate for the first
year's reduction, the college could conceivably cut: 92 of
254 classified employees (or one out of three); 55 of 256
faculty (one out of five); and 48 of 84 management
employees,(over 50 percent).
In the second year, those cuts could increase to 248 of
classified, 147 of faculty and all of the management. "It's
a very bleak scenario when you try to apply that kind of
a magnitude reduction against the people," he says.
LCC has faced cuts before. Berry noted that last year
the administration spent six months eliminating $350,000
from the college's budget. "I can't even fathom how we
are going to handle a $2.5 million shot," he says.
However, if LCC has to face more reductions, it would
have adverse effects on many programs and services that
students depend on. The Work Study program would be
one program affected. "There has to be work before
work study funding can be provided from the state,"
says Berry. In terms of the amount of people who would
lose their jobs, he doubts that there would be any work
study jobs available. "I'm not terribly optimistic."
Berry says the same applies for state aid, of which
LCC received $9 million this year. If Measure 9 passes,
the state will receive even less money, and consequently,
will have less money to distribute to colleges.
Tuition is another possibilty of helping LCC recover its
lost revenue. This year, the budget from tuition is $4.6
million, which is budgeted for just under 8,000 full time
equivalency (FiE) students. Making up the $2.5 million
loss in the first year could result in a tuition increase of
50 percent, and maybe more, depending on how the
college calculates the FfE.
Berry says the problem is that with a tuition hike,
there is no way to guarantee the college would generate
an 8,000 FfE.
''If we increase tuition by 50 percent, we could solve the
revenue problem, but that would create an even bigger
problem by having the price out of the market for our
students.''

According to the Oregon Voter's
Pamphlet, Ballot Measure 7, if passed,
would redistribute a large portion of
the funding for Oregon's schools from
property taxes to a general retail sales
tax.
If support for school funding were to
shift to a sales tax, Measur~ 7 would
then limit property taxes to a rate of 1
1/2 percent of true cash value.
Measure 7 would also provide, from
sales tax revenue, a property tax relief

By lowering property tax rates, proponents of Measure 7 say that support

Arguments in favor of Measure 7
assert that the measure uses a fair taxation system, using provisions built into it to protect low and middle income
level taxpayers.
Finally, people in favor of Measure 7
believe that the sales tax would bring
in revenues from non-Oregonians and
tourists, providing a general tax relief
for most Oregonians while still retaining the same level of services.
Opponents of Measure 7 argue that
the sales tax would be an unfair and

regressive tax. They believe that the
measure shifts the tax burden from
corporations and the well-to-do, to
low and middle income persons. They
assert that many individuals in the
middle income bracket would pay a
higher percentage of their income to
sales tax than would others in higher
brackets.
People against Measure 7 also argue
that monies gained from tourists paying into the sales tax would be offset
by the higher bureaucratic expenses of
collecting and distributing the sales tax
revenues.
Those against Measure 7 feel that it
would be an ineffective alternative to
the property tax limitation, Measure 9.

Measures 11, 12
shift relief to
'overburdened
mule'
by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Editor

Ballot Measures 11 and 12 are linked, with
Measure 11 lowering property tax for home
owners, providing renter's relief, and barring
sales tax except by initaive -- funded by the
increased income tax revenue called for in
Measure 12.
Measure 11 exempts the first $25,000, or half of
the assessed value, whichever is less, of all
owner-occupied homes. It provides similar relief
to renters through direct state payments
averaging seven percent of their rent.
It also reimburses local governments at least 80
percent of the revenue lost to exemptions,
costing the state an estimated $252 million in
1987-88. The measure repeals Ballot Measures 7
(sales tax) and 9 (property tax limitation) if this
measure receives more yes votes.
Where would the state get the money to pay
for these programs?
About $4-20 million would be provided by the
lottery, using ten to 50 percent of the net lottery
proceeds.
And the rest would come, theoretically, from
the approximately $278 million in increased
income tax revenues generated by Measure 12.
This measure would increase income taxes for
about one-third of Oregon's taxpayers, and rates
for the remaining two-thirds would drop or stay
the same.
Currently, state personal income taxes range
from 4-10 percent, depending on income.
Corporate taxes are 7.5 percent.
Measure 12 would spread the rate range from
zero to 15, depending upon relative income, with
lower income taxpayers paying less and higher
income individuals contributing more. Businesses
would pay from 5.5 to 10.5 percent, according to
the Oregon Student Lobby Voter's Guide.
Personal income taxes would increase by about
$255 million, and corporations would pay about
$38 million more yearly.
Proponents say that Measures 11 and 12 would
provide property tax to those who need it most;
require no new bureaucracy to administer them;
guarantee stable funding for schools; that they
are the fairest way to provide property tax relief
without hurting schools; and that the changes
would make the tax code more progressive;
based on the ability to pay.
Opponents argue that the measures would
substantially increase income taxes, discourage
economic growth, and create an unfair tax
system. According to an Oct. 17 editorial in
The Register-Guard, because it has no sales tax,
Oregon's income and property taxes are both
high relative to the same taxes in other states.
"It makes little sense to seek 'relief' by moving
part of the load from one overburdened mule to
_
the other," said the editorial.
It added that the state already has an excellent
Homeowner and Renter Relief Program, which
pays a portion of the property tax for those with
middle and low incomes.
The editorial stressed that higher corporate
taxes-would only repel businesses from locating
in Oregon, and weaken an already crumbling
economy.
And lastly, it pointed out that if Measure 11
passed while Measure 12 didn't, "the state
would be stuck with a very expensive prop~rty
tax relief bill, _and no new money to pay for it."

TORCH Sports Editor

It must be nice, I mean really a great luxury, to have
a league record of 0-4, and an overall record of 2-5,
and still get the great press coverage that the UofO
football team receives.
Sunday morning, I picked up the paper and was
disappointed to hear that the Ducks had been beaten
again -- but I was mortified to see the amount of space
reserved in The Register-Guard for discussing the
loss.
Three-fourths of the Sports section was dedicated
to the losing effort of the Duck team.
But it doesn't end there.
Onward, I read pages 4 and 5, which were covered
with five -- count 'em, five -- Duck photos, most of
significant size.
On Sunday, just where did you find the World
Series photos and continuing story? I don't know
about the paper you read, but the one I picked up had
the World Series buried on page 9, almost near the
end of the section.
And to date, LCC's women's volleyball team has
received, on the average, two and 1/2 inches of copy,
usually called in by coach or team statistician. LCC
has had four home games in Eugene, very near the
UofO -- but no press coverage other than the
TORCH.
Even area highschools receive thorough prep-page
coverage, better coverage than LCC' s volleyball
team, which is leading its league with a record of 6-0.
Maybe the readers of the TORCH can make a
stand, and say that all of our activities are just as important as the big schools and 4-J.
Equal coverage for equal colleges, it's as simple as
that.
End of sermon, start those letters!

Music students 'rock' over ·alleged ban
by Beverly Moore

for the TOROI

•

"Let's go pull a rebellion,"
said LCC student Mike
Stewart. And that's just
what he did.
Under the impression that
the Associated Students of
LCC (ASLCC) hatt banned
outdoor music performances, Stewart and fellow
students Chris and Brad
Jones set up their instruments outside the
Theatre Building Oct. 14, and
played original rock-jazz fusion for over an hour in protest of the alleged ban.
"For anyone's information, we're not a band. We
are merely pulling a
rebellious act to demonstrate
our disgust ~th the admini str at ion and the
ASLCC' s decision to curtail
the outdoor music activities,'' Stewart yeHed out
to the group of onlookers.
Stewart claimed that during a ph~ne conversation

with Rico Perez, cultural
director of the ASLCC,
Stewart was told that the
ASLCC was going to stop
outdoor music.
Before the day was out,
Stewart had created a petition for student support
against the ban. Upon showing the petition to Rob Ward,
president of the ASLCC,
Stewart said, ''Befote I get
carried· away, I thought I'd
check this out."
In response to the rebellion
and subsequent petition,
Ward insisted that no decisions had been made . in
regard to outdoor music performances. ''I would love to
• see our cultural director put
on a few of these outdoor
concerts," said Ward. According to Ward, more people
turned out for last year's concerts than any other functions .
According to Ward, the
cultural director is in charge
of student cultural activities
on campus. Perez has only

been director for two weeks,
because of the unexpected
resignation of last year's
director. "Rico still doesn't
know what he can and can't
do," said Ward. "He's owed
a little understanding."
Ward says Perez is interested in •moving towards
other areas of performance
on campus. He cited complaints from students, faculty, and cafeteria personnel as·
reasons for problems in the
past with outdoor performances.
According to Perez,
''Michael Stewart has taken a
lot of things out of context.
The spreading of disinformation is not good in creating
great public relations between us and stud,e nts."
Stewart and his "band"
were requested to stop playing by Jim Greenwood, Performing Arts instructor.
Greenwood told the band
that there had been a complaint from . the Social
Sciences Office.
•From the third floor of the
Center Building, Virginia
Piper, Social Sciences
secretaryI said "It was pretty
loud. I didn't like the noise."
Piper called the Performing
Arts office to inquire about
the music. She insists she
was not complaining, only
calling to find out if the band .
was a .practice session, and
how long it would be playing. "I could stand it for 20
minutes. That would be my
limit," Piper said.
After talking to Ward about
ASLCC attitudes on outdoor
music, Stewart said, "I want
to apologize if I've caused
any problems:'' Stewart has
decided not to circulate his
petition.
Ward encourages any student interested in outdoor
music programs to "Come
up and talk to us. We like to
get people up here. Get involved!"

Can anyone ever love someone "too much?"
When being in love means
being in pain, we are loving
too much, says Robin Norwood, a licensed therapist
who specializes in treating
unhealthy patterns of
relating in iove relationships.
Norwood explores this
concept, its causes and effects, and gives practical adrevamping
for
vice
unhealthy social behavior, in
her new book, Women Who
Love Too Much.
Just what are some of the
symptoms of loving too
much?
• Unconciously seeking out
and responding to emotionally unavailable partners
(people who can't or won't
give love), because it feels
familiar and "right."

• Being bored with '' nice
guys."
• Finding troubled, distant,
unpredictable, and moody
people exciting and attractive. (They are often
substance abusers).
• Staying in a relationship
emowhich jeapordizes
tional and even physical
well-being.
• Accepting most or all of
the responsibility in a relationship.
Norwood postulates that
people with these patterns of
relating to others probably
played roles in childhood in
which they denied their own
needs. Instead, they attempted to meet the needs of
family members. Therefore,
as adults, they act according
to learned responses which
feel comfortable. These can
only change when they are
recognized, and when concious effort is made to
change.

Is it only women who love
too much? According to the
author, little girls are taught
to rely on their relationships
to develop positive self images, while little boys are
socialized to be more independent.
''Most men who have been
damaged in childhood do not
develop an addiction to relationships. Due to an interplay of cultural and
biological factors, they try to
protect themselves and avoid
pain through more external
and impersonal pursuits,''
she says.
How~ver, she believes that
some women have a tendency to become obsessed with
relationships, often with
damaged and distant men.
One chapter discusses the
types of men who are drawn
to these women.
The men whom the author
interviewed indicated they

were looking for someone to
help them control their
behavior, and to "save
them."
Some men may take exception to the often negative
portrayal of males in the
author's interviews.
Norwood uses many case
histories and examples,
presenting information in a
straightforwar d, interesting
manner without being sensational or melodramatic.
One chapter, titled "Shall
We Dance," explores the
ways emotionally needy people pick up cues from prospective partners, enabling
them to find someone with
whom they can '' perform the
dance they know so well
from childhood."
The book escapes some of
the most common pitfalls of
"self-help" books; while the
terminology can be easily
understood by a layperson,

the approach is neither
simplistic nor inane.

Norwood' s approach helps
readers identify any tendencies to develop unhealthy
relationships, and presents
some realistic and useful advice on replacing old patterns
with healthier ones.
The final chapters on
recovery cover some of these
practical steps. Each one is
explained in detail, followed
by guidelines for its application. The book's appendix includes suggestions for beginning a support group, a
recommended reading list,
and addresses of national
agencies which can give
referrals to local community
help.
and
resources
Although some may differ
with the author's presuppositions and conclusions,
her insight and common
sense advice is beyond the
usual scope of this genre.

"No one can tell me how to be; I have to discover how to
be," says Ruth Drake, coordinator of a new women's support group at LCC.
The "Women Who Love Too Much" support group meets
every Monday at 1 p.m. in Center 219. Its title and
philosophy are based on the best-selling book written by
Robin Norwood (see related story.)
Drake, a psychology student and volunteer at the
Women's Awareness Center, says she felt a need to start a
support group for many reasons. She identified with
women described in the book, and thought a support group
would be of benefit to herself. In addition, she realized
many other women from LCC fit the same description.
''There are a few support groups on this subject (in the
Eugene-Springfield area,) but they meet at night or in some
far-off tucked away corner. I know women like myself who
have small children and other responsibilities find it hard to
get to those meetings. So, I felt a meeting at school was real
appropriate, she says.
More than one dozen women came to the group's first
meeting on Oct. 13. Drake was gratified by the interest
shown, and impressed with the openness and expressiveness of the women.
The group's structure involves what Drake calls
"open-ended dicussion." Participants share life experiences, listen and comment, without giving advice. Strict
adherence to confidentiality is maintained.
For more information on the suppo:d group, contact Ruth
Drake at the Women's Awareness Center, ext.2353.
