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

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

Tuitio n Reciprocity

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."
Bob Marshall, LCC registrar, agrees that in comparison
with some other Oregon community colleges, LCC has a very
low number of Washington.students. LCC does not promote

Not a mere blob

forum by Lori Parkman

for the TORCH

I
wonder
how
''pro-choice rs'' would react
if, before one could get an
abortion, an ultrasound
would be required.
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Great public relations, LCC.

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.

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. For information and an appointment, interested persons may call the clinic

Low-impact aerobics intense, but beneficial
by Lois Grammon

through classes that cover
both theory and techique.
''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.

"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-

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

"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.''

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.

These words are not from Shakespeare, nor the Saturday
horror show. 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.

"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

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.

As I said, the common misconception is that halloween is
the witch's highest holiday. 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.

There is no reason to be alarmed Friday, Oct. 31 if you happen to witness a band of
small human beings marching around campus.
The Muppets haven't conquered Oregon, Disney Land is not on strike, and
mutants from the Wizard of Oz have not infiltrated our school.
Actually, it's Georgia. 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. Those with hearts of
stone, repent or go home). •

to manipulate supernatural
elements in the world,'' says
Gram. 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.

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.''

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-

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 .
Those interested in the vaccine who have further questions may call SHS at extension 2665.

Lane Community College has had more than its fair share of problems lately.
There are so many of you hard-working students attending LCC who have found
that you must scratch real hard to catch up to the point where you can either hold
down a job worthy of your own special talents or you are busily engaged in
making up for losses in public schools or while having to delay training while you
worked to support yourselves or yourselves and your families. 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. I want you to know that I
•
------will be very busy finding
•
ways and means to keep
costs and tuition rates down
while keeping the school
growing to meet the
challenge of the years
ahead. So, I need your vote
and your support. If you
will help me now, then I
will be able to help you
during the next four years.
Even if you don't live in my
district (District 22), I will
do all that I can for you.
You need only call or write
me and I will get on it right
away.
Good luck to you!

On Oct. 22, LCC' s
volleyball team defeated
Chemeketa Community College in three matches; 15-3,
15-11, 15-8, pushing the
league record to 6-0.
Shari Ramp lead the Titans
with seven kills, two stuff

aces, while Faye Moniz and
Angela Arms combined for
15 assists.
At the beginning of the

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.

Benefit run raises 538 dollars
by Denise Abrams

TORCH Staff Writer

The first Duck to Titan
Challenge run, held Oct. 12,
drafted over 50 entrants according to Coordinator
Dagny Phillips.
Phillips, who came up with
the run idea late last year, is
pleased with the turn out
and encouraged to make it an
annual event.
The run was sponsored by
both the UofO and LCC stu-

money to enable LCC Correctives program to· purchase
Regys rehabilitation equipment.
The equipment is designed
to help people disabled by
spinal cord injuries.
"For a first time run, I've
been told the amount of people we had participate as
runners (and helpers) was
good," Phillips says. She
estimated that at least 100

runners would raise between
$800-1,000 dollars. The run
attracted 53 runners, brought
a total of $538, which was
donated to the fund.
Extra revenue was made
through T-shirt sales, and
has not yet been added to the
fund.
LCC runners included
Dave McElhey, Lynn

Belcher,

frompagel

Belcher has met with the
staffs of both departments to
hear their concerns. She has
asked for a committee, composed of Reimer and two
people for each department,
to work out ways to implement her decision and
develop a timeline for action.
The committee's firs-t
meeting was scheduled for_
Oct. 31.
Reimer expects to identify
critical issues as the implementation begins, and
foresees a transition period •
requiring continuing adjustments, although he
reports his staff feels co~ort able with the coming
change. ''I see benefits for

Tuition,

both departments," he says.
Keizur, whose department
is also taking part in the implementation plan, says the
DP staff reaction to the decision has been less favorable.
Keizur is probably the person most affected by the
decision. Under the present
organization, his duties are
divided between serving as
director of the Computing
Center, an assignment he
will continue, and serving ·as
the chair of the DP Department's instructional program, a program he will no
longer head.
But he says he does not anticipate immediate changes
in curriculum.

itself out of district, he said, although LCC coaches may
recruit Washington athletes.
Disagreeing with Turner's decision, men's cross country
coach Harland Yirarte says that without the reciprocity program "one avenue of recruitme~t is shut out."
''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.

Fred Mohr, at the UofO' s

Multicultural Center
hosts Open Hpus~

Andrew Nelson

The Multicultural Center is now selling fresh gourmet coffee for 30 cents a cup.
by Marisa Hidayat

for the TORCH

The LCC Multicultural
Center will host an Open
House on Wednesday, Nov.
5 to introduce its services to
all incoming students.
''The Multicultural Center
has existed for a long time on
campus," said Connie Mes-.
quita, MCC coordinator.
"We plan an Open House
every year to re-introduce
our center to all incoming
students, particularly international and minority
students."
At the Open House, LCC
instructors John I<lobas and
Tom Birkenhead will perform American and ethnic
music.
Bimb, ·an LCC student from

Thailand, will demonstrate
origami and Martial Arts will
be demonstrated, by Marco
Benavides and Hidehiko
Suyama. Students' paintings
and sculptures will be on
display, and refreshments
will be served.
This year, the MCC has
several special events planned, including: Martin Luther
King Day (January); Asian
New Year (February); Cinco
De Mayo (May); and Indian
Week (~.fay).
The Open House is for all
of LCC's students and staff.
"We's like to see many new
faces in here," said Ms. Mesquita. It will be in the MCC
office, on the fourth floor of
the Center Building, Room
409, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Smoking, from page 3 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __
Prohibiting smoking in public areas is not unprecedented.
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). But smoking on the second
floor of the Center Building must stop now.

-5P-iny imagery:

Medium for sculpture fantasy

bv Lois Grammon

Td'RCH Entertainment Editor

"It's a sort of fantasy
have about what man can do
domesticates
he
if
something, which in this
case is fruit,'' says artist
Christine Clark of one her
pieces currently on display in
LCC' s Art Department
Gallery.
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.
