LANE COMMUNITY COLLEGE· VOL.22,N O.6 OCT.31, 1986 ASLCC: VP Belcher links two departm ents 'No on 9' A projected loss of $2.3 million in revenue to LCC in the first year, and a loss of $6.2 million in the second year is a major reason for the Associated Students of Lane College Community (ASLCC) to oppose Ballot Measure 9, says a press release received Thursday. In the press release, Rob Ward, ASLCC President says, "Ballot Measure 9 will hurt students and their ability to pursue a quality education; tax relief at the expense of education is no relief at by Muriel Willingham for the TORCH Two LCC departments, surprised by a recent decision for their consolidation, are taking the first steps toward implementing that decision. On Oct. 10, Vice President for Instruction Jacquelyn Belcher announced to instructional department managers that the Data Processing Department will be linked with the Math Department. She plans to have one department head for the two units. Belcher notes that currently, over 20 people, including department heads, report directly to her. But she says she finds t dt rangemt'.n• unwieldy, and has therefore begun to work with her staff to streamline the structure. ''Having so many people is me to reporting untenable," she explained to the TORCH. Although DP Department Head Jim Keizur and Math Department Head Tom Reimer had heard indirectly that the college was considering such· a plan, the announcement of a firm decision was a surprise to them. Vice President Belcher, who began her duties just months ago, acknowledged that a controversial decision such as this would have been developed and accepted more comfortably if she and her staff ( department managers) had been working together longer. She is concerned her decision may be perceived as a kind of "political move," but told The TORCH this week she made the decision in order to improve the efficiency of the college's instructional areas. Since the announcement, see Belcher, page 10 all." Tuitio n Reciprocity agreement set to L-CC: 'No' • • reciproc ity by Val Brown by Joe Stipek Due to the Tuition Reciprocity agreement reached this summer between Washington and Oregon, seven Oregon community colleges will allow Washington students to pay instate (instead of out-of-state) tuition. Washington state will pay the difference between the instate and out-of-state tuition rates. LCC is not one of the community colleges involved in the program. LCC Pres. Richard Turner said that, in his opinion, "The program is ·designed for colleges along the Columbia River and the Oregon borders.'' He also said that he did not see any benefits to LCC, unless there would be additional state funding. LCC was offered participation, but according to Elaine Yandle, from the Oregon Department of Education, Turner thought that since LCC would only be permitted to admit two Washington students under the program, the college would not benefit, and therefore, he chose not to participate. A letter from the ODE stated that '' each college that requested inclusion in the program has been alloted a number of students based on their 1985 fall term report on out-of-state student enrollment, (and) this is the maximum number for which each college wiil be paid state FfE reimbursment."

I'd even be willing for the state to pay the bill as they currently pay for abortion. After all, wouldn't a woman be better able to make that "choice" after she saw what the baby really was? During the first trimester, an ultrasound , at eight weeks after conception , allows one to see the child's body, head, and movement of the legs and arms. Sound waves are used, instead of x-rays, to view the baby and movement as it occurs. I've personally witnessed ultrasounds . They reveal a great deal. Also, anyone who's ever seen Lennart Nilsson's book, '' A Child is Born,'' knows just how developed the child in the womb really is. The book contains photograph s of the unborn's developmen tal process throughou t pregnancy. Even a six-yearold could identify a "fetus" as a human baby. Nilsson's book isn't a publication of Right-to-Life, nor was ultrasound' s creation some sort of conspiracy of the organization. But actual photograph s of developing children, or ultrasound views into the womb, certainly show that we're not dealing with a mere "blob of cell tissue.'' Jail cost too high forum by Cynthia Kokis Student and Criminal Process Coordinating Council. Corrections professionals, our county commissioners, and the League of Women Voters are all urging us to vote millions of dollars to build and operate more cells, an 80-bed work camp, and to reopen the mental health unit at the jail. It is these costs, and not the cost of the alternative •programs (an alcohol/ drug residential center, a work release c~nter, and four detox beds) that are unnecessary. We can create these good and needed alternatives, which the Criminal Process Coordinatin g Committee endorsed unanimously, without spending $5 million. Constructi ng additional units will enable more poor to be locked up. This will encourage the judges, the district attorney and the sheriff to ignore low cost alternatives, and to continue the present practice of holding so many (suspects prior to trial). The Mental Health Emergency Unit is the item in this ''menu'' that attracts the votes of caring people. It makes them overlook the unfortunate consequenc es that come with this: more poor people held for longer periods. If we were to open the three low cost alternatives, we would have the secure spaces we need for the dangerous people. And we would not have spent $7,800,000. What about the poor and mentally ill? Why are none of our psychiatrists willing to treat them? In Portland, doctors, like our local lawyers, do a percentage of their work for the poor. They forget about their $75-$90 an hour fee. Why is this not done in Lane Country? Do we have to accept the fact that our certified hospital refuses the poor? No, we can't make the comfortable citizens be compassionate. But let's refuse to let this force us to set back hard-won corrections alter- Billions spent Nicaraguaris still oppressed forum by Rob Ward ASLCC President A Washington Post story in Monday's (10-27-86) RegisterGuard says that President Reagan has tentatively decided to train Nicaraguan Contra troops in the United States. The administration tried to persuade several Central American governmen ts to allow use of their territory, but Costa Rita, El Salvador, and Hondouras all said "thanks, but no thanks." Nicaragua is a sovereign nation. We are not at war with Nicaragua. It has a right to govern itself as it sees fit, not how we see fit. • The US poured billions of dollars into the oppressive Somoza regime from the 1930s through 1979. The Somozas controlled all the industries in Nicaragua, paying slave wages to the workers while brutally killing and torturing anyone who spoke up for human rights. Finally, in 1979, the people said "enough." Somoza was killed, and it looked like, for the first time in 50 years, the people might get a return on their investments . But the US is intent on seeing that there isn't any peace in Nicaragua. The Contras are a few unhappy, leftover Somoza Guard- smen who had their right to slaughter and torture taken away from them in 1979. Why is the US intent on funding them? If the US believes in human rights, why do we fund the Contras? The Nicaraguan people have a right to govern themselves. We have funded the oppression of Nicaraguan s long enough. Many human rights groups have gone to Nicaragua .-- •a lot of them from right here in Eugene. They all come to the same conclusion. The Sandinistas began a literacy campaign as soon as they took office. Before the revolution, about 12 percent of Nicaraguan s could read and write. But by making a concentrated effo~, a majority of Nicaraguan s can now read and write. More people have learned to read and write in the past seven years in Nicaragua than in the proceeding 50 years under the dictatorship of Somoza. A governmen t that keeps its people in the dark is afraid of letting the people know what's really going on. The Nicaraguan people want peace. They want to be friends with the US. Why are we intent on destroying them? Our Marines have invaded Nicaragua three times in the past 50 years. We must make sure it never happens again. For Lane ·Com mun ity College, . Measure 9 offers noth ing but trou ble by Kelli J. Ray TORCH Editor We have a problem on our hands. They call it Ballot Measure 9. To put it simply, Measure 9 would limit property taxes to two percent in 1987, and then to 1 1/2 percent in the years that follow. (Oregon's current tax rate is six percent). The effect this measure would have on LCC is equally simple: Our budget would be cut so dramatically that campus life as we know it could not possibly continue. According to LCC President Richard Turner, since the college spends about · 80 percent of its budget on personnel costs, the cuts could mean that between one-fourth and one-third of college _e_rnployees will lose their jobs. P.age 2 The. TORCH And since the college couldn't possibly continue to operate at the current level with $2.5 million less the first year (and $6.3 million less thesecond year), a fourth of . the student body might have to go without an education. Vice President of Administrat ive Services Bill Berry says that another result could be an increase in tuition -by as much as 50 percent. This would solve the revenue problem quite neatly -- with one flaw. There is no way to insure that students could afford the higher costs. And with no students, there would be no college. All of the options under consideration are extremely unpleasant, and would have adverse effects on college programs, staff and students. The best solution? Let's keep this measure from passing. natives. Vote No on 19 and 20. No.13 a mistake forum by Richard Levy Measure 13 Campaign Director I am the campaign manager of Ballot Measure 13, a fact that has proven embarrassing for me and those with whom I have discussed this measure. Measure 13 . . . . would roll back the voter registration deadline to 20 days before an election. Sandwiched in between the tax and nuclear measures, 13's impact may be misundersto od by many voters. If voter registration were cut off 20 days before an election, the 100,000 people who registered to vote during the last 20 days before the November, 1980 election, would not have been able to vote -- 100,000 Oregonians could be temporarily disenfranc hised by this measure. Otherwise well-inform ed friends have apologized for their lack of understand ing of 13, but the truth is no one can be well-informed on the myriad number of issues and candidates on this year's ballot. see Mistake, page 3 EDITOR: Kelli J.

O~tober .31, 1H)_ 86 Mistake, from page 2 It seems to me we ought to limit the number of measures, either through requiring more than 83,000 signatures to place a measure on the ballot, or by curbing our populist impulse to sign every petition that comes along so '' the people can decide." , Measure 13 is an example of a poorly drafted measure that has not benefited from legislative scrutiny and debate. Measure 13 would have the unintended effect of disenfranchising legal residents who moved or changed their name within the last 20 days before an election.. Supporters of 13 have admitted they would have to ask the 1987 legislature to fix their mistakes if Measure 13 passes. The 1985 legislature did debate the issue of voter registration, and after much compromise, did come up with this system: , • Registration is open until 5 p.m. the day before an-election. • Those ·who wish to register within 11 days of the election must do so in person at the county el_ections office and show vafid identification. Let's not send the legislature another loosely conceived and poorly drafted measure to be "fixed up.·" Let's do give Oregon's thoughtfully considered voter-registration law a chance to work. My recommendation is to vote NO on Measure 13. Don't take chances with Oregon's biggest lottery -the ballot box. Opposition on 6 forum by P. K. Pate and Suzanne Bunker Eugene Commision on the Rights of Women The Eugene Commision on the Rights of Women wishes to g_o_ on record in strong oppos1t1on to statewide ballot Measure 6, which would amend the Oregon Constitution to prohibit state funding for abortions, unless the mother's life is threatened. The following resolution, passed unanimously on Sept. 2, 1986, states our position. • Whereas, Measure 6 will prohibit the use of state funds for abortion, even in cases of rape, incest, and when the pregnant woman's health is in danger; and • Whereas, Measure 6 unfairly singles out poor women and their families who depend on our state for health care, and it deprives them of the full range of medical choices available to all other Oregon women; and • Whereas, if Measure 6 passes, it will result in higher costs to Oregon taxpayers, and will place an even greater burden on the already strained social service resources of Oregon; and • Whereas, Measure 6 is the first step being taken by a vocal and increasingly violent minority to forbid abortions for all women under any circumstance. Forcing a woman to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term is unjust, costly, and repressive. wEAR. .SR\ OTl-41NC,- A ON 1'T Now, therefore, be it resolved: That the Eugene Commision on the Rights of Women strongly supports the efforts of both groups and individuals working to protect the right of all Oregon wom~n to choose safe, legal abortion by defeating thi~ regressive ballot measure. Voter crossover forum by Karey Tanton for the TORCH Question: Just because someone labels him or her self a Republican or Democrat, should that make us obligated to vote for that candidate -- just because . . . of party label? A thinking person's answer should be NO! Thank goodness a lot of people are basing their votes on the quality of the candidate and his/her views -not on the political party. Many Democrats are supporting Bruce Long even though Defazio is a registered Democrat -- whatever that means now days. And many staunch Republicans are voting for Neil Goldschmidt rather than Norma Paulus. This election will see a lot of crossover voting. People should base their votes on who agrees with them on the issues. If you're a Democrat -- but not a liberal -- why vote for a Liberal Democrat when there's a Republican running you agree with more often on vital issues? Vote according to who represents your opinions. Party labels should be ignored. Just because someone belongs to a particular party that doesn't mean they have much in common with the rank and file of their members. r--------7 HOWTO STUDY FOR EXAMS ...

BOX 124, Veneta, OR I I I I Clean air invaded forum by Robert Wolfe for the TORCH Section 3 of the Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act reads: ''No person shall smoke or carry any lighted smoking instrument in a public place .... " Section 2 defines "public place" as ''educational facilities.'' In particular, I refer to the second floor of the Center Building, the most public area at the college. Visitors or potential students invariably visit the area. Current students must visit this area to use necessary services. Staff members have full-time jobs that require them to be in the area all day. One employee, Counselor Bob McCorkle, has consulted lawyers to force the school to ban smoking in this area because he has a medical sensitivity to smoke, and works in the Center Buildin$. Smoking in public places at LCC, in particular the second floor of the Center building, must be bann_ ed. To be fair, I should point out a potential loophole in the law. The rest of Section 3 of the Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act reads ''except in designated smoking areas.'' It goes on to say that these areas can be designated by the person in charge. But it also reads that nothing in the rules shall prevent the person in charge from designating the entire area as nonsmoking. Despite this possible exception, smoking in the Center Building violates the spirit of the law. ''The people of Oregon find that the smoking of tobacco creates a health hazard to those_present in confined places," reads the preamble. Besides the law, there are several good reasons for banning smoking in the Center Building, the biggest being the aforementioned health hazard. Let me quote figures from the Department of Health and Human Services, as a reminder of how great the hazard is: • 1000-1200 people die per day of smoking related illnesses. • Smoking is related to: five types of cardiac disease, nine separate types of cancer, at least three respiratory diseases, death and complications in pregnant women and their fetuses, and strokes. • Direct medical costs for lung cancer attributed to smoking cost $10 billion in 1984 alone. But how about the health hazard to those of us who don't smoke? In 1985, the American Cancer Society National Board approved a statement on '' involuntary smoking'' that included the results of a study that shows conclusively that prolonged passive smoking DRAMATICALLY increases lung cancer risks in non-smokers. The aesthetics of smoking is another reason -- the '' toxic waste" is ugly and smelly. Visitors who enter the Center Building are greeted by the stench of cancer-causing particles, and treated to the sight of piles of smoking butts in dirty, dented ashtrays.

He deserves your vote November 4th. According to meeting notes, no definite solution was reached, but several suggestions were made to help alleviate high prices. • Hendtickson said that faculty needs to cooperate with the bookstore and encourage students to purchase their texts at the LCC Bookstore. It is the faculty who order the amount of books they need for class, and it is the bookstore's obligation to make certain those books are available. If the faculty sends students to ·the Smith Family bookstore on the UofO campus, the LCC bookstore is left with an over-stock and the expense of returning the books to the publisher. Faculty members serving as committee members agreed that the action they took d1d place the bookstore in a "disadvantaged position." Collie proposed that ''faculty and staff put more effort into getting the word . out to students that used textbooks are available at the LCC store.'' Jones states, "The bookstore will order as many used textbooks as possible, and then will order new textbooks when no more used texts are available 'to order.'' 1t was also suggested that the availablity of used texts be announced at orientation, and published in the Student Handbook. The committee did not set its next meeting date, but according to Jones, Hendrickson and himself solve problems together, and then report on the situation when the next meeting is held. Clinic offers clean teeth Members of the community are invited to use the dental clinic at LCC, whi!2h operates on the main campus as a training laboratory for LCC students. Treatment is performed by skilled dental hygiene students who are supervised by ctentists and LCC' s dental hygiene teachers. Their work focuses on professional hygiene treatment and advice for home care. Prices are low, with a teeth-cleaning visit costing $9. Students select patients for treatment on the basis of initial evaluations, and treatment may involve more than one visit. LCC students need more patients for instructional purposes.

''It's designed to give a broad understanding of the body as a whole, as a system, so they will be able to understand any problems that arise. The curriculum includes 23 credits," she says. TORCH Staff Writer "You can hire people who are high motivators, and look good in a leotard and tights, and it's easy to go in there and jump around for an hour, but what are you doing to your body?" asks Mary Seereiter, LCC dance program director. The phenomenal growth in aerobic dance classes has helped get more people on their feet and exercising than ever before, but it has a negative side. ''If you work your body incorrectly, you will end up says with injuries,'' Seereiter. Many of the most popular aerobics dasses are termed are what ''high-impact,'' incorporating many jumps and abrupt movements that can lead to injury. But she teaches classes at LCC which incorporate the less stressful techniques of a growing trend called "low-impact" aerobics. "We teach low-impact aerobics at LCC, and stay away from jumpiog or jerk- Rico Perez works out in noon aerobic class. James Painter ing movements that really jam the joints. We do slides, and move at a constant pace, but it's not injury provoking. It's intense, but designed to make you aware of your body. ''Low impact aerobics takes more knowledge and planning,'' says Seereiter. And she has implemented a new program at LCC designed to teach and certify students as instructors, of commitment. By the third week of the term, Heinis forsees that some students need encouragement before they become frustrated or discouraged and leave. When students feel as if their problems are too overwhelming to deal with, the retention program can assist, she says. The Retention Committee believes that with some changes, the college can stabilize its enrollment and the personal success of more of its students. "We do not advocate keeping every student here at all costs. We expect quality in the instruction and services - not a lowering of academic standards,'' says Heinis. Last year, the committee proposed that the college prepare lists· of student phone numbers for each instructor so that the instructor might personally keep up with the students' progress. Heinis says the committee has had very positive feedback. The committee also proposed a class (now in effect) on Money Management, offered through the Home Economics Department. Students earn one credit while learning how to budget their financial aid and other income. Students interested in being a member of the Retention Committee should contact Corilee Heinis in the Counseling Center. Committee offsets dropouts by Susan Yates for the TORCH "Of all the students who leave LCC each year, only half officially withdraw. We're not sure what happens to these students, they simply drift away," says LCC Corilee Heinis, Counselor. They leave LCC each year prior to achieving their intended goals -- certificates of completion, degrees, the acquisition of new skills or knowledge, or the completion of single courses. But the purpose of the college's Retention Committee (in the Counseling Department), is to move students through the institution toward completion of their intended goals. Heinis sees students every term battling various problems, the most common of which tend to be financial matters, job/class schedule conflicts, illness, and a lack Required classes include dance conditioning and mechanics, introduction to teaching methods, first aid, care and prevention of athletic injuries, and courses in dance and aerobics. The people taking the instructor training classes are mostly dancers, although she says, "I have a couple of P.E. majors. "In the past, the only place that you could get the information that would make you a solid teacher was in a university dance department. And most people don't want to invest that much money and time when they know that instructors make about $10 per hour," she says, which doesn't compensate for the three hours of planning for every hour in class. "There are several organizations that are starting certificate programs, which are usually a weekend or one day certification,'' she says, although she feels that more time is needed to provide adequate training. Seereiter' s own class is popular with LCC students, drawing 55-60 students each noon session. It is a favorite with the LCC staff also, which makes up 25 per cent of the class. The course is accommodating to students who have old injuries to contend with in the effort to be physically fit, according to Seereiter. ''In my classes, I ask if people have injuries, then I talk to them and have them work very slowly. It's important to keep it loose and the muscle toned, but if the injury is acute, you should give it a rest. Usually if people have an acute injury, I suggest they go see Susan Burch,'' she says, speaking of the LCC Correctives instructor. Only about five per cent of her dance and aerobics classes are men, and th~ students in the instructor training program are all women. She feels the men are intimidated by the large percentage of women. One man who does take her class, says, "it doesn't bother me at all" to be one of only a few men in a group of about 60. Rico Perez, who has taken other aerobics classes for a total of about three years, says "I had lots of problems with my knees and my feet, but since I started taking these classes, I don't have anywhere near the problem.'' Another student, Deborah Del George, says, ''I think that what's unique about Mary's aerobics class is that it's feasible for anyone who's out of shape to come in and feel good about themselves at the end of the workout.'' She adds, however, that "it's still a challenge in strength and style for people who are in shape.'' The office of County Commissioner is not a trainee position.

The TORCH' Page 5 All Hallows Eve a combination of Druid and religious beliefs by Denise Abrams TORCH Staff Writer All Saints Day, also known as All Hallows Day or Halloween, held a different meaning to the Celtic people than it does now. The Celts occupied northern and western Europe (what is now France and the British Isles) and held Druidism as their religion, according to Maymie R. Krythe, author of" All About American Holidays." The Druids held two important annual feasts: Beltane, on May 1, and the autumn festival Samhain, on the last day of October. Coming after the harvests had been reaped, this holiday meant the end of summer and the beginning of winter. October 31 marked their New Year's Eve, and is our Halloween. The white garbed priests were nature admirers and performed mystic ceremonies around stone pillars at Stonehenge. A supernatural element of the autumn festival was that the Druids tried to appease the Lord of Death. It was believed that on this day, he allowed the spirits of those who had died the previous twelve months to spend a few hours with the living. Another rite in connection with the ancient observance of Halloween was the lighting of great bonfires on hilltops, to honor the sun god and frighten away the evil spirits releas-· ·ed by the Lord of Death. The people danced about and through the flames, singing and pretending they were being pursued by the evil souls. Many wore grotesque masks to add to the celebration. As the people celebrated that night around the massive bonfires, they shared stories of mysterious sights or weird sounds they had encountered -- no doubt the forerunner of our custom of relating ghostly stories on our Halloween. With early tribes, Halloween was a time for fortunetelling. Many were eager to learn what lie ahead in the next year. The priests would cut open an animal, and tell the future by looking at the animal's innards. Some used peculiar shape vegetables for this purpose. They also held onto the belief that a young person peeled an apple, threw the rind to the ground, and from its shape told the initial of a sweetheart. There is also the belief that if anyone ate a crust of bread before going to sleep on Halloween, any wish that was made would come true. After the widespread of Christianity, nonbelievers of the church made fun of the Christians by worshipping the Devil. They would set skulls on pretended altars, or paint profane crosses on church walls. Today, when children and adults dress up in ghost costumes, .false faces or witches' hats, or carry pumpkin lanterns, they are following some very ancient customs. Thus Halloween, a time of fun and practical jokes in the US, is really a combination of Druid practices and other classic religious l:?_eliefs. Of course, Halloween is not perceived as _a religious holiday in all parts of the US. Most Americans think it is just a time to dress festively and bob for apples, tell stories and be united with loved ones for a special evening. It is an ideal time for home parties, and to wait for the small witches and warlocks to ring the doorbell chanting, "Trick or treat!" The popular doorway greeting is said to have stemmed from the old custom of the poor going to the well-to-do neighbors begging for "a soul cake" on All Soul's Eve.

They have been passed down carefully from teacher to pupil of the wiccan way for hundreds of years. Wicca (wisdom) is the practice of "witchcraft." Though much has been written about "witchcrap" in the last several years; witches guard their ways, so that much misunderstanding arises. They seldom step forward to set the record straight. Witches (this term'includes males, as well as females) do not recruit new members, they believe the craft should be handed down from generation to generation or only be shared with those who search for·its nature centered ways. Although many people believe that witches are akin to satanists, this is far from true. Witches do not believe in satan; that entity usually belongs to those who accuse witches of its worship. However, witches do believe there is good and evil, but that it is individual choice to do good or evil, not some being forcing evil upon its unsuspecting victims. Another common misconception is that Hallowmas (halloween) is the high holiday of a witch's year. Hallowmas is actually a time of mourning for loved ones who have devarted this life. To honor them, a witch has what is known as a dumb supper. The witch prepares a lavish meal and sets a place. for the loved one, then by candlelight, (with firm belief that the love once shared is present), the meal is eaten in silence. Having honored the departed souls, at the stroke of midnight the witches assemble to share the joy of the precious memories of their loved ones.

CJ by Lois Grammon TORCH Staff Writer "The European derived folk image of a witch embodied the opposite of everything considered 'mom and apple pie', or desirable for a woinan, '' says LCC anthropology instructor Ingrid Gram. That image of a witch -- someone old, unkempt, ugly, wearing black, and living alone in a forest with no husband or children represented a threat to people of the middle ages, and played a part in the hysteria of the witch trials. It is an image that has persisted . through many centuries, and reaches a pinnacle during the modern-day Page 6 The TORCH rituals and revelry of Halloween. Two LCC courses study witch~raft, spirits, and other -related subjects. One is the class taught by Gram; called Anthropology of Folk Religions. The other is a Folklore and Mythology class taught by Linda Danielson. She says her class spends about one week examining the folklore surrounding witchcraft. The focus is on ;'what nonwitches believe about people whom they think are witches. Witchcraft is not just a tradition about evil people; it's a tradition about people who are powerful and scary. Only in christian cultures are •they identified as being of the devil," Danielson says. The Anthropology of Folk Religions class taught by · Gram focuses on belief systems in non-world religions, tribal and local traditions, and folk religions tied to official state religions. '' Anthropologists define religion as any belief in supernatural powers or beings, so it includes witchcraft, sorcery, and ghosts. I like to take a look at a whole range of beliefs," adds ' Gram, who includes sorcery, shamanistic traditions of drug-induced or trance-state travel, and witchcraft in her class studies.

However, the highest holiday is Yule (December 21 through January 1). Yule is a time of great feasting and gift giving, to celebrate the promise of spring. To prepare for Yule, a witch must thoroughly clean his or her house (known as the spring cleaning), then gather evergreens (the symbol of hope) to decorate the home. Next, each coven (group of believers) prepares a feast in turn, to be shared by all in the community. However, since the great persecution, this now involves each coven member or family preparing a feast in tum, to be shared by the other members or families. Yule is also the time when romantic intentions are declared. The hopeful man presents the woman he loves with a small gift on the first day of Yule. If she accepts the gift, he gives her two more gifts the second day, and so on for the entire twelve days of Yule. This custom dates back to the time when a family was not easily persuaded to have a member leave for a new home; each member's work was highly valued, so the family had to be compensated for the person leaving. Therefore, the gifts usually were very valuable by the twelveth day. So, Virginia, there really are witches. However, this halloween, have no fear. The witch will be remembering a departed loved one, knowing that to live one must also die. The witches you see roaming around are probably little "trick or treaters." If you will, smile when you see them and wish a departed soul well. by David Bartlett TORCH Staff Writer There is no reason to be alarmed Friday, Oct. 31 if you happen to witness a band of small human beings marching around campus.

Fryback and those little rascals from the Child Development Center on their annual ''Halloween Parade.'' Every Halloween, Fryback and her staff assist and encourage the CDC kids to act out their dreams by dressing up as their favorite heros. Fryback says "the kids really enjoy dressing up and showing the people what they look like. The children often make their own costumes, using articles from home, and they will paint their faces here if they want to." The kids "tend to stay away from the spooky part of Halloween at the younger age. Rarely do they dress up as scary people or things." This activity accomplishes three goals: The first is that the children have fun. The second is that it helps children develop social interaction skills key in the childrens' maturing and growing stages. And third, having children "play-act" a role helps them develop ideas about possible fields or careers which are a part of the not-sodistant future. On Halloween, after morning "circle time" (which includes story telling, a glass of milk and homemade pumpkin-raisin cookies), the kids will put on their costumes, then parade around campus and up to the book store for a popcorn treat to be taken back to class. One request of Fryback is that the faculty and students not give the tykes any candy. "For some reason, the people think this is a 'trick-or-treat' kind of situation for the kids. I know the people are being kind and have good intentions, but the children don't expect any candy, they are just out there for the fun of it." What the onlooker CAN do is let out several well-articulated comments, like "ooh," or "aren't they cute"(only if one means it, however.

The concept of good and bad witches, and white · and black magic depends on whether the person uses the magic for socially approved or socially harmful ends.'' Gram says she likes to teach traditions in a cultural context. Some cultures have several different kinds of people who have these powers, she says, with different kinds of magical systems, individual seasonal traditions and riturals, and each person's powers affecting different portions of people's lives. Each culture has its own definitions about who's going to become a October 31, 1986 witch, and how their work is carried out. However, certain themes do app~ar in the wide range of popular beliefs. They include traditions that witches operate at night, meet for rituals, possess the ability to. travel in body or soul, have animal familiar spirits, and use herbs to heal or poison. Sometimes Gram invites guest speakers to her class. One guest speaker is a graduate anthropology student who did her master's work on local neo-pagan groups, and who has provid-. ed information on them to Gram. In the Eugene area, there are a variety of these groups, says Gram, but they do not like to call themselves witches because of the negative connotations associated with the term. ''My understandi11-g is that (for . the local groups), solstices and equi!loxes, along with Halloween, are considered. important times to communicate with whatever their powers are,'' Gram says. The local groups ·use herbal medicine, and they invoke nature spirits, gods and goddesses, and other natural forces. Gram. is not aware of specific plans any Eugenearea neo-pagan groups have for Halloween. However, she says she is now inspired to do ''something'' in her class -for Halloween. The TORCH Page 7 Flight Tech speaks out Student Health offers flu shots by Chuck Perry TORCH Staff Writer for the TORCH The LCC Flight Technology Department participated in the 19th annual Pacific Northwest Aerospace Conference held Oct. 10-12 at Valley River Inn in Eugene. The conference, sponsored by the Civil Air Patrol Air Force Auxilary, provided an opportunity for over 200 teachers (kindergarten through high school) and representatives from many corporate and governmentrelated aeronautics fields, to share ideas about the latest technological advances and possible future curricula. Terry Hagberg, head of the Flight Technology Department, spoke to the conference about courses LCC offers explaining the way the college interacts with high schools. "Students coming to LCC with prior aviation training will receive advance placement in our (Flight Technology) program," he stated. Some of the corporations represented at the conference were: NASA Research Facilities, Sikorsky Aircraft, Flight Dynamics, Space Research Associates, Spectra Physics (lasar technology), US Airships, - and the US Airforce. Ron Gustafson, chief flight instructor for the Flight Technology Department, said ''The conference was a great thing. It gave us a chance to give our side and get input back." This is important, as Gustafson put it, ''because the next 5 years in aviation advancement will be pure magic.'' ethereis a suostitute for • expectence. • by Diane Davis Flu vaccines will be offered through mid-November by Student Health Services (SHS) to all students and staff at a cost of $6.00. The vaccine will protect ''high risk'' persons and those with low resistance against Influenza, the viral infection that causes fever; chills; cough; and sorenes in back, arms, and legs. Influenza occurs each year in the United States from November to April. Most people are ill only for a few days, but some become more seriously ill and require hospitalization. On the average, thousands die each year in the US from the flu or related complications. Those at highest risk for serious illness are encouraged to use the vaccine. This includes adults and children with long-term heart or lung problems, and residents of nursing homes or other institutions, of any age, who have serious long-term health problems. At moderate risk for serious illness are healthy people over age 65, anyone treated during the past year for kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, anemia or asthma, and those with a type of cancer that lowers the body's normal resistance to infections. ''The reason for the November cut-off on the vaccine,'' explains Sandra Ing, Director of SHS, '' is that the body needs time to develop immunity after the injection. People need to be immuniz- Jeff Cooper Nurse Sharon Kealoha injects patient with flu vaccine. ed before the flu season starts in order for the vaccine to do any good." Flu viruses constantly change, or mutate, and each year the vaccine issued guards against that year's anticipated viruses, as predicted through a world"Yide flu watch by the World Health Organization. This year's flu shot contains strains of viruses traced to the Philippines, Chile and the USSR. The vaccine will begin to provide its protective effect after about one or two weeks, however, it will not protect all persons against the flu, or against other illnesses that resemble the flu. An informed consent must be signed by all persons before injection, but those who should first seek the advice of their doctor before taking the vaccine are pregnant women, anyone who has ever been paralyzed with Guillain Barre Syndrome, persons who are ill and have a fever, and anyone with an allergy to eggs which causes dangerous reactions if they eat eggs. The vaccine is available from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and on Friday from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 to 3 p.m., at SHS .

I know what you are going through. During my undergraduate days, I had to work at three different jobs every single day in order to pay my fees, buy my meals, and put a roof over my head. It was a grind, believe me, but it was worth it when it was all over. It will be to you, too. With so many students, the wear and tear on the college plant is more than too much. We are going to have to do something about that. There is no sense in letting a fine school like LCC wither on the vine.

Berserk fans enhance game by Val Brown TORCH Sports Editor The last time the Mets did it, I was 3 years old. And I can't even name one of the team members from that game in 1969. • But at long last, the World Series is over and the Mets are the winners again. And this time, I can name off the entire batting line-up--for BOTH teams. But I especially remember heightened emotions experienced by both the fans AND the players. All season long, the people in this nation are delirious from baseball fever. How about those fans -- those fanatics -- who go to great lengths to be seen on TV and support their . team? Do any of you remember the rainbow-haired guy from a few years back? When the rainbow hair wasn't enough, he resorted to glow sticks from a third row seat. But nothing beats the woman sitting in the fifth _row of the last two games of the World Series. There she was, wearing the same white turtle neck shirt with a red V-neck vest. She sat in the same place (right behind home plate), and performed the same motion whenever a Mets batter was at the plat_e. This woman should have been an NFL referee, because she had the illegal procedure signal down pat. Seriously, this woman began ve1y slowly with the motion and then increased the speed as the pitcher was about ready to deliver. No, she wasn't a Mets fan. She was a Sox fan. And I? I could have cared less who won. Usually I'm emphatic about the World Series, but because my team wasn't even in the picture, and I don't favor any players on the Mets team, it was easy to not care. I did watch the last out of the game, and when Knight and Carter went crazy I remembered feelings of victory. Then I looked toward the Boston dug out and remembered vivid feelings of defeat. I thought it was warm and wonderful to see grown men so emotional about their jobs. And really, that is exactly what it is -- a job. But how wonderful to see players like Bill Buckner playing in pain, just because he loves the game. Of course, those guys could be non-emotional, and act like it is just a job. I think they love it because of the fans. And they love the game itself, not just the money. Well, okay, some DO play for the money, but not all of them do. And I'll be just as excited next spring, when the whole season -- fans AND team members -- swings into action again.

''Washington is the biggest recruiting area, but because LCC is not involved in the reciprocity program, seven students £rpm Washington cannot afford to attend school here at LCC, '' explains Yirarte. But they may attend Clackamas, or Mt. Hood, or Portland community colleges. Yirarte was disappointed that he and Athletic Department staff were not consulted, saying, from his vantage point, rejection was ·an ''unresearched decision.'' Yirarte believes that LCC would benefit from such a program, because more full-time students could be enrolling at LCC. According to Marshall, if the fixed costs, (like utilities), were to stay the same -- and no new classes, instructors, or facilities were needed to be added -- an implementation of Tuition Reciprocity at LCC would be beneficial to the college's FTE (Full Time Equivalent enrollment) and the entire community around the college.

Many major coorporations have eliminated smoking in their facilities to lower insurance rates. This year, the military banned smoking on bases and ships, except in separate smoking lounges. The State of Oregon and the City of Eugene prohibit smoking in public buildings, except in designated areas. Banning smoking (on the second floor of the Center Building in particular) is supported by student leaders. ASLCC President Rob Ward has agreed that smoking in this area should be eliminated, and that alternate smoking areas should be found on the second floor. ASLCC Vice-President Jeff Moisan has agreed to sponsor a non-smoking resolution before the Student Senate. Board of Education member Martin Lewis has gone on record saying "public areas that people must walk through should be non-smoking, but there should be decent smoking areas." This is not an attack on any individual, or an attempt to force a halt of all smoking at LCC. But I have the right to breath air free of carcinogens, mutagens, and stinky particulates. There is a solution to the problem. The answer is designated smoking areas in places that no one has to enter unless they want to. I would suggest the existing areas in the cafeteria and the Center Building fourth-floor lounge. (The latter has a great view and brand-new furniture).

The Severity of Indoor Captivity incorporates an apple, orange, banana, and grapes, carved of wood, enameled, and impaled with spikes. It is one of ten pieces Clark has in her show at the gallery, which opened October 27 with a slide lecture and reception with the artist. Many of Clark's colorfully painted assemblage works use spiny imagery, which she says people might consider to be her trademark, although she does not. A quirky sense of humor is evident in some of the pieces. Clark included some personal anecdotes in her lecture concerning the inspiration behind several of her pieces. One titled The Evolution of the Species she began after reading George Orwell's Animal Farm, and depicts the metamorphosis of ordinary swine from fourlegged to upright posture. When beginning to design each piece, Clark says "the only thing I sketch is just the basic structure. I work real spontaneously. I have a lot of surplus materials around our hou~e, and (the final design) just depends on the situation.'' Instead of making all of the materials she uses in each assemblage work, she thinks '' finding stuff is probably the greatest idea in the world. I think the easiest way to get started in mixed media sculpture is to go to a thrift or junk store.'' Clark is currently the department head in metals at the Oregon School of Arts and Crafts in Portland, Oregon. In addition, she teaches mixed media sculpture and enameling. She received her Master of Fine Arts Degree from the Rochester Ins ti tu te of Technology, of Rochester, N.Y. The gallery is open Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Clark's assemblage works will be on display through November 14. ;:-i ~~ - ,,, ~ ~ ( l .)
