LANE COMMUNITY COLLEGE VOL.22,N0.5 OCT. 24, -1986 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.

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. see Hesse, page 5 Place an ad in classifieds Men harriers prep for regionals Move over Mac, try a vege-burger page 11 page 8 page 5 ,L - _ . . . : : . . . _ : . - - - - ~ 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. Registration regulations forum by Pam Ferrara Executive Director, Oregon Common Cause Oregon Common Cause urges all Oregonians who are not registered to vote or who need to update their registration to do so for the upcoming election. We remind those who want to register that they have until Monday, the day before election day, at 5 p.m., to do so. Anyone registering in the 12 days before election day must register in person at their county elections office and must provide some identification with their current address on it, such as a driver's license, rent receipt, or utility bill receipt. Oregon law provides that in order to vote a person must be a US citizen, 18 years of age, and a resident of Oregon. If anyone is denied the right to register to vote for any reason (not mentioned above), he or she should immediately call any one of the following for information about registration rights: the elections division of the Secretary of State's office, phone 378-4144; the American Civil Liberties Union office in Eugene, phone 345-6162, or in Portland, phone 227-3186; or the Oregon Common Cause office in Salem, phone 371-1106. Common Cause believes that the right to register and 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. Legal pot: the Alaskan • experience forum by Wagstaff Robert H. Wagstaff, Pope and Rogers, Attorneys at Law This letter is written in response to questions from 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 misuse of drugs in general. The decision itself was based upon an extremely extensive trial record that has withstood the test of time. Experts representing all facets of the scientific community testified.

October 24, ·19·aa·· 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. Vote YES on Measure 6. Voter• drive continues by Denise Abrams TORCH $taff Writer Students who missed their chance to register to vote still have several days before the election to do so. • The Associated Students of LCC (ASLCC) voter registration drive ended Thursday with approximately 400 students registered. ASLCC President Rob Ward says due to election rules, because there are so few days left before the election, citizens who want to register must go to the Lane County Elections and Voter Registration office at 135 East 6th in Eugene. The office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Proof of residency is also required.

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 . The people of the State of Oregon have c<;>nsistently refused to allocate more money for the building of new prisons even though a new prison has already opened in Eastern Oregon. .H still more prison space is the answer, then that issue alone should l:>e presented to the voters, not buried under a victims' SWEEPS AWAY FAIR TRIALS rights banner. . . .

He expressed concern over parents _ who "volunteer" their children for drug testing in schools, but noted it was probably legal. 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. Goldschmidt will be in the Eugene-Springfield area on Nov. 3 and 4, but his itinerary is not yet available, according to campaign workers.

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 Michigan State University, coordinates a program devoted to educating and training scientists from third-world countries in production as well as, consumption. 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.

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 for residential property owners and Funds i:evenues, used for Bm equivalent relief for renters.

By lowering property tax rates, proponents of Measure 7 say that support of local school levies would be encouraged. 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. >an Nelson, 27, Business Administration Major "Yes, I'm a registered voter and I'm going to ote.

October 24, 1986 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."

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.

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 .

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!"

The TORCH Page '1 ·1 Boo k can help wom en who love too much by Lois Grammon TORCH Entertainment Editor 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.

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.
