LANE COMMUNITY COLLEGE VOL.22,N0.7 NOV.7,1986 Rejection sure for tax laws by Beverly Moore TORCH Staff Writer The results are in. Oregon will have no new tax laws. All four tax measures (7, 9, 11, 12) on the Nov. 4 ballot were defeated. According to Bill Burrows, social science instructor, the question of fair taxation will be returning to the ballot. ''I think we will see permuta~ tions of past tax ballot measures, because most of our alternatives have already ~ been presented.'' Burrows says Measure 9 (the 11/2 percent property tax limitation) has been presented to Oregon voters five different times, in slightly different forms. According to Burrows, Oregonians are not satisfied with the present tax system. "Citizens of Oregon pretty regularly complain about taxes," he says, "yet they have been unwilling to adopt any of the alternatives that have been prsented to them.'' The reason voters defeated Measure 7, (the state sales tax measure), is because ''The public doesn't want to hear the details of a measure," says Burrows, "Just the sound of 'sales tax' will cause them to vote against it." With so many tax measures on the ballot, George Alverque, social science instructor and president of the faculty union, believes that passing Measure 7 would have been difficult. "We had cross purposes with Measure 9, '' says Alverque, "We had to sacrifice Measure 7 to stop Measure 9. '' Having tax issues offered at the elections over and over is not productive, according to Alverque. "It only depletes our energy and see Tax laws, page 3 Autumn leaves blanket Eugene Page 3 Election dust settles, Goldschmidt wins by Robert Wolfe TORCH Staff Writer Neil Goldschmidt, Democratic Governer-elect, powered his way to victory with a large margin in Tuesday's election primarily due to convincing wins in Multnomah and Lane Counties. Goldschmidt won 533,375 votes with all but two precincts reporting, compared with 479,143 for Republican challenger Norma Paulus. The largest part of his winning margin came in Multnomah County, with a 32,000 vote margin, and Lane County, with a margin of over 13,500 votes. ''Multnomah and Lane counties are his home bases, so he needed big wins there," says Bill Beals, LCC political science instructor. Beals also noted that cities generally tend to be more liberal and rural areas more conservative, and that Oregon voting trends fit that pattern. Statewide the results were: Goldschmidt 53 percent, Paulus 47 p~rcent. Goldschmidt is only the third Democratic governer of Oregon since 1939. ''I feel fant~stic, ';, exclaimed Goldschmidt to supporters late Tuesday mght. God bless you all." Paulus was gracious in defeat, calling Goldschmidt to congratulate him on Wednesday, saying she was glad not to have to answer any tax questions for awhile. Multnomah is the most populous county in the state with 480 precincts and over 115,000 voters. Despite polls that i~dicated that the race was quite close, Paulus was hurt late m the campaign by poor showings in televised debates, numerous endorsements of Goldschmidt by newspapers, and embarrassing reports of her comments concerning a "mole" in the Goldschmidt organization, according to an analysis of the race published Thursday in the Oregonian newspaper. Another factor in Goldschmidt' s win could be sex discrimination, according to Beals. ''Females did not fare well nationally," he says. Nationwide, says Beals, 64 percent of Govenor-elect Neil Goldschmidt women voters and 37 percent of male voters chose female candidates in races with a man and a woman. In the US Senate, the number of women holding seats fell from four to two. Eastern Oregon was primarily Paulus territory, with all but two counties voting Republican. Goldschmidt won in Union and Baker counties, and only by margins of a few hundred votes. Western Oregon was another story, however, with Goldschmidt taking all counties north of Lane, excepting Washington and Clackamas, where Paulus won by about 4,500 votes and 2,000 votes respectively. Work Study program changes take effect by Robert Wolfe TORCH Staff Writer An overhaul of the Work Study program that took effect Fall Term changed wages, job classifications, and for the first time, added evaluations of workers by supervisors. The changes were needed because of unequal rates of pay for people performing the same jobs, according to Vice-President for Student Services Jack Carter. "There was pressure to over-classify jobs" to attract students, says Carter. In some cases students were being paid as much as full time college employees, he says. 700 Approximately students have Work Study as part of their financial aid package this term, according to Director of Financial Aid Linda Waddell. The federal government provides the bulk of the money to the program, and the college provides 20 percent in matching funds, according to Carter. The Work Study changes were not made to save money, and no money was gained or lost as a result of the changes, he says. The changes will make the wages for similar work more equitable, provide pay increases based on improved performance, and give students an incentive to remain at a job that will enhance their career skills, according to Waddell. All Work Study jobs are now grouped into three categories, or '' skill levels,'' says Waddell. These are skilled, semi-skilled, and unskill- LCC faculty songbirds perform Victorious Titan cross country team Page 3 Page 5 ed. Each level is then divided into three "steps," or wage rates which increase as a worker moves up the steps. According to Wadell, 90 percent of all jobs are in the • semi-skilled category. A mandatory evaluation of student workers by their supervisors is part of the program for the first time ever, according to Waddell. Evaluations are performed for several reasons, according to a memo by Waddell see Work study, page 3 Stereotype in our midst? To The Editor, I am offended by a·cartoon in the Oct. 24 issue. It's the one telling voters who are voting "Yes" on Ballot Measure 5 to be straight enough to find the voting place. This is propaganda. People voting "Yes" on Measure 5 are really voting on a measure of personal freedom. This is not a "getting stoned freely" issue, it's a ''let's be a thoughtful society and examine the facts'' issue. There is a stereotype in our midst that people who vote ' 'Yes'' on Measure 5 are all potheads. That is untrue . Many thoughtful, welleducated people are going to vote "Yes" because they have examined the facts about the REAL reason marijuana was outlawed in the first place, and they have decided that legalization will kill the pot propaganda issue. Thea Nicklas ASLCC neutral on smoking To The Editor: I am writing to clear up an error in Robert Wolfe's article of 10/31, concerning smoking on the 2nd floor Center lobby. Members of student government each have their personal views on smoking but it is erroneous to claim student leaders support a ban on smoking in the 2nd floor Center Bldg. The ASLCC has taken no position because to endorse either the smoking or the non-smoking position would force us to abandon students holding the opposite view. It is our view that even if in the minority, smokers have rights as deserving of protection as non-smokers. To force the issue upon people, and demand YOUR rights at the expense of others is a small-minded and narrow viewpoint which only serves to split the Student Body and create useless controversy. Rob Ward ASLCC President Night classes miss potential forum by Robert Wolfe Chairman, Evening Program Advisory Committee The leadership of LCC has a great opportunity to serve the needs of the community by strengthening the Evening College. A 1979 survey shows that 36 percent of district residents intended to take classes at LCC; 60 percent of that group said they wanted or needed to take classes in the evening. This is potentially over 40,000 people. But latest figures for evening enrollment show a head count of only 1,700 evening students. Because we also know that evening students at LCC tend to be older, work fulltime, and have families, if they cannot conveniently take night classes, they won't. We must assume, therefore, that the needs of the community are not being met. EVENING PROGRAMS Is the evening college really in that bad of condition? Indeed, it is. Over the last four years, of all the degrees and certificates available at LCC, only 10 could have been completed by attending only night classes. There is currently no guarentee that a student beginning a program at night will be able to finish in a reasonable amount of time. What can be done to im- No, your mother doesn'~ work here forum by Rob Ward ASLCC President A few things bother me. • I have never been able to understand the joys of writing graffiti on the walls of the bathrooms and elevators here at LCC. I believe that individuals who do must have some deeprooted insecurities. I've always thought I should treat the bathrooms here like I treat mine at home. I wonder how many people write on their own bathrooms at home? Probably none, because at home one wouldn't have to sign one' s name to know who was responsible . Besides the obvious problems w ith graffiti, it' s pretty embarrassing to think that people who are in college don't know how to spell. There are so many good English instructors here at LCC, and many good writing classes. If you are a frustrated writer, you can go to the Study Skills Center for tutoring help . If you believe you have something that needs to be said, write a letter to the TORCH ... . Do you realize that custodians have to go around and scrape off the immature, decadent, perverted sayings and drawings of the insecure few? I firmly believe that those who writ~ about it on the bathroom walls actually do it the least. • Why do a lot of the used paper towels end up on the floor, in the urinals, or in the toilet when there are at least two waste cans in every bathroom? I believe that people get used to others picking up for them. I don't care if people are slobs in their own homes, that's their right. But what you do here reflects on everybody. For some, it's a big thrill to plug up toilets. If these people put half as much energy into their school work, their grades would soar. • Outside the Center Building's fourth floor stairways are two ashtrays for people who smoke. I walk up to the top of these stairs and see stamped out butts all over the ground. What the hell are the ashtrays for? I just know these people don't stamp out their butts on their floors at home. But, if someone else gets paid to pick them up , why bother using an ashtray? Bother because it looks ugly. Because common sense tells you to use the ashtrays ! I pick up a lot of garbage off the floors here during the day . I'm willing to stoop that low because a nice environment makes for nice feelings about being here. If you don' t like something, do something about it! But writing on the walls and throwing garbage on the floor does ~othing for anyone. All that election hype overdoes it by Kelli J. Ray TORCH Editor Whew, am I glad it's over! I was beginning to get annoyed by all the hype. For the last two weeks, we've been bombarded with political slogans insisting that we vote for one ballot measure or against another. At LCC, signs sprang up almost overnight, covering the walls with catchy phrases and ominous scare tactics. And the drive to and from school was no better, with campaign signs lining the roadsides like California billboards. The election dominated the media, as well. My mailbox was so full of ' 'letters to the editor'' that we had to devote two pages to letters and forums to insure that everyone was given the opportunity to be heard. Page 2 The TORC H And the rest of the state media were sucked in, too, with newspapers dominated by candidates' comments and blow-by-blow descriptions of debates. When we turned on our TVs at home in the evenings to escape these assaults, the candidates invaded our living rooms, fillmg our homes with slick talk and glib promises. After waking from dreams of slinging mud and smiling faces, we would open our doors to bring in the electionridden newspaper, only to discover drifts of ballot-related material falling from our door-jam -- the canvassers had come in the night. It supposedly took the average voter 10 1/2 hours to read and analyze the entire voter's pamphlet. We were given ample time to do this on our own, prior to the election. So why the full-time bombardment over the last two weeks? Perhaps because the World Series just ended, and with that game out of the way, the "fans" in our society needed a new one to get hyped up about. Whatever the reason, I'm glad it's over. prove the situation? This, too, seems clear. The top leadership at LCC must appoint the current extended day administrator as the Evening Administrator. This person should be made responsible for . all evening programs, services, and other aspects of the evening college both on main campus and at the downtown center. The position should be organizationally placed directly under the Vice-President for Instruction, and made accountable to her. The proper budget and support services should be made available. In this way. coordinated and controlled growth achieved. It needs to be pointed out that there is currently an administrator who is unofficially responsible for this area. This is the Extended Day Administrator. Besides the evening program, this person is also responsible for weekend functions and operation of • the Downtown Center, which is open nearly 80 hours per week. He is not even available half-time for the evening college, as unofficially assigned. In addition to a lack of available committed time, there is no official job description for this administrator .

November 7, 1986 LCC students : Did you cast your votes? compiled by Kelli J. Ray TORCH Editor Photos by Mark Yturralde " No, I didn' t vote . My heart intended for me to go, but they keep me in the darkroom all day at work, and I literally ran out of time . But I wanted to exercise my right to vote. " Everything I wanted to pass didn ' t pass , anyway, except Measure 6. And I'm really glad 9, 11, and 12 didn' t make it. " I was disappointed by the propaganda put out by the people who weren't in favor of measure 5." James Painter "No, I didn't vote. I didn't get registered. I moved, and had thought I was registered . It was just a hassle. "I was reluctant to vote on any of the people, anyway. You really don't know what the issues are, because there's so much hype and confusion. Everyone is trying to get you to vote for them, so they don't really let you know what they're for or against. It's really dirty politics these days -- Ronald Reagan style. ''I was glad to see that at least the Republicans didn't get all the seats. That's all we need-- more of Regan's little soldiers in office." John Goldman "Yes, I voted. And did I vote no on 5? Well, no comment. People are going to smoke it anyway, whether it's legal or illegal. "I thought the abortion issue was important, too, and Measure 9. They turned out great." Deborah Chambers "I wasn't registered, so I couldn't vote. I just turned 18 recently. "I think one of the issues that concerned me the most was the closing of the nuclear plant. I'm happy to hear that it's still open. I talked to people who know a lot more than me about the power plant, and closing the plant would mean that a lot of people would lose their jobs." Debbie Kovich ' 'Yeah, I voted -- I barely made the deadline. I care about a lot of things . I care about Measure 9 going down. I wanted to stay in school. ' ' And as much energy as Trogen provides, I don't want it around . We have enough stored power to last for 10 years. "I don't know about the abortion issue. That's a highly emotional situation, and I think in some cases it's ok -- in others, it's not." T. J. Forrester "Yes, I voted. I wanted Goldschmidt for govenor, and I voted for Packwood and Defazio. 1 voted no on all the tax measures, and was anti-nuclear on each nuclear issue. 1 supported the county levy and bond issues. I didn' t really care about the other issues . I think 1 picked all the winners. " Dave Barnhart Tax Laws, from page 1 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Autumn bursts into full regalia.

November 7, 1986 lege have not been defined. No clearly defined chain of exists. accountablility Though this accountability may exist "unofficially," it is impossible for the Evening Program Advisory Committee to monitor this responsibility as charged by the Board of Education. The Extended Day Administrator has no budget monies earmarked for the evening program, thus denying proper staff and clerical support for evening related activities and duties. And, as an example of huge oversight, no provision for the Extended Day Administrator to spend time on the main campus in the evenings exists, despite evidence that the main campus program is three times larger than the Downtown Center, and suffered a far greater enrollment loss in the past six years. Past figures show that if administrative and advisory group support are provided, the evening college enjoys booming evening enrollment. In 1971 the Board of Education created the Evening Program Advisory Committee (EP AC). EP AC, together with administrative support, created an increase in evening enrollment from 6 percent of the total Full Time Equivalent student count to 12 percent -- effectively doubling evening enrollment. When this advisory group was disbanded in 1978, and administrative support withdrawn, the evening FTE dropped to a low of 7.8 percent in year 1983-84. Further evidence on this point is that evening enrollment has reversed its steady decline following the appointment of the current Extended Day Administrator about two years ago. Would appointment of the current Extended Day Administrator as the Evening Administrator receive support from the college com- munity? About a year ago, the Board of Education reformed the Evening Program Advisory Committee, which strongly supports such a move. The LCC Marketing Council, an influential group charged with establishing marketing priorities, recently endorsed exactly such a position. A task force of the LCC Instructional Senate, an administrative advisory group consisting of department heads and deans, (recently restructured as the Instructional Cabinet), was seriously considering the same recommendation before being reorganized. Martin Lewis, perhaps closer to the evening program than any other board member, has supported this idea. And finally, Gerald Rassmussen, a widely respected administrator who recently retired as VicePresident of Instruction, left his successor a recommendation that is identical to that endorsed by the other groups and individuals. I urge the LCC leadership to pull together and give the people what they deserve and desire. E v e n i n g s , frompage2 _ _ _ _ _ __ wastes our time," he said. ''The new governor has a real responsibility and an opportunity to do something about it." According to Alverque, ''Part of the answer to unfair property taxes may come from state revenue increases due to the federal tax reforms.'' Burrows believes that a sales tax is a viable tax alternative to current property taxes. "It would be good to spread the tax base a little wider by creating a three tier tax system," he says. With the problems of school funding and fair taxation still an issue, Burrows believes one of the likeliest avenues of change will be to raise income taxes. He also suggests that a rise in costs for state parks, building permits, tuition and other fees will probably occur. Though Alverque has no immediate solution, he says the problem is not going to disappear. ''If the issue is not addressed by the legislature and governor, in 2 years we'll have another Measure 9. It could pass, and then we'll be stuck." ~--------COMING! ,I WINTER'S----------- I I Get your car or truck ready now. 1 I 1·-WAYNE:S GARAGE I I I I Bring this coupon in and receive a I I ~ Vehicle Condition Check II [~ For $29.95 reg. $42.95.

Debbie Del George is a liasion for the Oregon Student Public Interest Reseach Group (OSPIRG), a statewide, non-partisan, non-profit consumer and environmental advocacy organization ,which publishes reports, surveys and guides in the public interest. Del George, a secondary education major at LCC, became involved with OSPIRG as a '' conscious Work Study choice. I have a sincere interest in the educational issues that OSPIRG deals with,'' she says. Since LCC didn't have an OSPIRG chapter due to lack of involvement, Del George took it upon herself to reintroduce the resource group to the college. '' Starting a chapter is very complex,'' says Del George, '' but all efforts are in hopes of building one.'' Del George says her efforts include planning a forum to promote careers in public service, and arranging speakers from the University of Oregon to speak on the issues that OSPIRG is working on. OSPIRG deals with over 100 public service issues. Currently, it is working on landlord tenant issues, . public utilities, National Student Campaign Ag~inst Hunger, and banking and insurance loans.

November 7, 1986 Women win regional title by Val Brown TORCH Sports Editor Boob-tube buddies by Val Brown TORCH Sports Editor I had just finished making a batch of popcorn before Wrestle Mania came on, and I had time to ask myself just exactly what I was getting into. When Grandma and I were positioned in our chairs -- luckily, we had a table between us -- I came to the conclusion that Grandma tends to get rough when she watches wrestling. Almost as rough as the wrestlers themselves. The pre-show hoopla was taking place, and she and I were munching popcorn down like nobody's business. Needless to say, all of the popcorn was gone before the wrestling matches began. It's probably just as well, because Grandma would have choked. She gets so excited that everything she ever taught us about not talking with our mouths full is quickly forgotten. But Grandma doesn't just talk -she swears. We were engrossed in the match when someone must have tripped over the plug at the station, because we lost our beautiful color picture and had nothing but a black and white snow storm. Being quite used to lousy reception, I took the mishap in stride. But my dear, sweet grandmother began to cuss and fuss like nothing I had ever seen in this world. She wore herself to a frazzle using unprintable expressions like "phluztha", and "arhgofuz." By the time the station was back on the air, she was worn out, and had to retire for the evening. Early the next morning, Grandma stuck her head in my door and urged me to "rise and shine" -- roller derby was about to start. Bleery eyed, I stumbled out of the bedroom. I knew I was in for an early-morning earful -- and I was right. Although I was not quite awake enough to comprehend ANYTHING, much less a high paced game like roller derby, Grandma went on to explain who so-and-so was and why she was a no-good-such-andsuch. Fortunately for Grandma, there were no problems with the connection, and luckily tor me cartoons came on after the roller derby match. I would not like to be the repair man, (or woman), who has to tell my Grandma that her TV is unfixable. If she becomes livid when the satellite is on the "fritz" (as she puts it), I can only imagine what she would be like if her television could not be repaired. Four LCC runners finished 28 seconds apart to secure LCC' s team victory at the Region IV meet on Friday Oct. 31 on their home course. Lane's cross country rival, Mt. Hood, placed runners in the one-two postions. Tammy Phillips finished the 5,000 meter course in 19:37.8, while teammate Karen Stone finished 19:45.1. The combined efforts of Val Quade, Diana Nicholas, Taunya Pieratt, and Shelli Gray pleased LCC cross country coach Lyndell Wilkens. "I would like to have the individual champion,'' she says, ''but we'll settle for the team title.'' Quade finished third in 19:50.5, and teammates Nicholas, Peiratt, and Gray followed in the fourth, fifth, and sixth positions. Other LCC runners were eighth place Tammie Gardiner, tenth place Nicole Lightcape, and fifteenth place Michelle Turner. Tracy Reglin finished in the sixteenth position.

PRECISION HAIRWORl~S NW corner 29th-W11/<1mette 343-1182 The TORCH Page 7 Class publishes book by Lois Grammon TORCH Entertainment Editor Self-published books have the often well-deserved reputation of being poorly written and self-serving, earning the moniker of "vanity books. " Regional fiction anthologies fare no better, their major appeal being to the friends and relatives of the author(s). Usually amateurish writing, inadequate editing, and poor printing quality are enough to limit their potential market. Discovering a self-published regional fiction anthology which manages to avoid most of the pitfalls is a welcome change. Even more so when it is authored by people from the Eugene area, and edited by an LCC writing instructor. R. Gaines Smith has been teaching free-lance writing courses at LCC for twelve years, and assisted a group of his students to write and publish ''Popular Fiction By Oregon Authors." The anthology of seventeen short stories ranges from adventure and humor, to fantasy and horror. It is being officially released November 9. According to Smith's introduction, this anthology differs from similar ones in several ways: the stories are entertain- Phil Shea Winnie and Willie (Judith Roberts and Patrick Torelle) wowed the audience at the LCC Faculty Benefit Concert, on October 30. • art Upcoming drama, music, compiled by Lois Grammon TORCH Entertainment Ed itor Glennis Pahlmann Greg Tuski, R. Gaines Smith, and Vickie Nelson look at copies of just-published book. ing; they have beginnings, middles, and ends; they make sense; and one can understand them. It is an accurate description, although the writing is sometimes uneven, and the premises of a few of the stories intended to be realistic seem stretched past the point of credibility, even for fiction. An eclectic approach does much to broaden the book's appeal; there is something here for (nearly) everyone. One story, "The Reweaver," by Vickie Nelson, is exceptional. It is the tale of a man who "was fifty years old and in the middle of a school board meeting when he first noticed the large hole in the fabric of his life." Other standouts are the sci-fi ''How I Saved the World,'' by Davy Wood; the poignant "Pig Party," by Roberta Brown; and the eerie ''The Other Side of Deba, '' by Greg Tuski. Two of the authors, Everett Taylor and Marilyn Burkhardt, also served as illustrators for the book. LCC's Bookstore, The Bookmark, B. Dalton's, Aristotle's Books, The Literary Lion, and The Book and Tea will have copies of the book for sale.
