College loses another VP
Btll Berry takes post in Missouri

by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Editor

Vice President for Administrative Services Bill Berry told
the college he will resign from his LCC position on Dec. 31.
Berry, who supervises, among other things, the financial
operation of the college, has held his post since 1980, and is
the third top-level administrator to leave LCC this year. His
resignation follows the early retirement of both Gerald
Rasmunssen, vice president of Instruction for 21 years, and
Ed Ragozzino, head of the Performing Arts Department for
18 years.
Berry says his primary motivation for leaving is the offer of
a similar position in St. Peters, MO. Berry will be the fourth
employee hired by the new St. Charles County Community
College, following the college president, the dean of instruction, and the dean of student services. As the business
manager, he is looking forward to the challenge of starting a
new college from the ground up.
"I'll be able to make my own mistakes and learn from
them," he says. Berry is enthusiastic about being included in

Computer plan criticized
by Robert Wolfe

TORCH Staff Writer

Despite the enthusiasm of top level administrators, a plan to purchase personal
computers, printers, and related equipment
for the second floor offices of the Administration Building is drawing fire from some student and faculty leaders, complaints from
suppliers, and causing the Board of Directors
to tread softly.
At the November Board of Directors
meeting, LCC Pres. Richard Turner proposed
to spend about $96,000 for 10 IBM-type personal computers, 10 printers, a desktop
publishing unit, and a ''local area network''
(LAN) to connect the PCs with each other
and with LCC' s mainframe computer. The
board postponed a decision in order to gather
more information.
''It is inconcievable that a college in this
day and age is not using these resources,"
Turner told the TORCH. "The administration is way behind. We need to participate in
the use of this technology.''
Is the system needed?
Two campus leaders question whether administrators really need the equipment, and
if now is the time to purchase it.
George Alvergue, head of the LCC Educa-

tion Association, believes student needs
should have priorty. ''My understanding is
that this equipment would satisfy no instructional needs at all," he says.
Alvergue also points out that the administration has "got along for 16 years"
without such a system.
Student body Pres. Rob Ward shares
Alvergue's views. "I would like to see student needs given priority'' regarding computer purchases. "I question whether all of
the equipment would really be utilized,'' he
says.
But President Turner is sensitive to such
questions. ''This is an urgent need,'' he says.
He believes the size of the request is
reasonable, and says the system will provide
10 work stations to administrative staff
members with a means to accomplish their
goals more efficiently.
He pointed out that over $60,000 was spent
two years ago to upgrade student computer
labs, and that LCC has always been a leader
in providing computing resources to
students. "We are not opposing groups," he
says. "We are all here for the benefit of the
students.''
And Vice President for Instruction Jackie
Belcher agrees, saying that while most of the

Jane Student is single and 20 years old. She has supported
herself financially since she was 18, and was eligible for financial
aid this year. But next year, she might be in for a nasty surprise
-- one that could cost her an education.
Federal changes in the definition of ''self-supporting student'' will reclassify many students considered
"independent" of their parents in 1985-86, therefore
changing their financial aid status to ''dependant'' -- and,
in many cases, making them ineligible for aid in 1987-88.
According to Linda Waddell, director of LCC' s Financial
Aid, a student is considered. self-supporting under new
federal guidelines if:
• He/she was born before Jan. 1, 1964.
• He/she is an orphan or ward of the state.
• He/she has legal dependants other than a spouse.
• He/she is a veteran of the US Armed Forces.
A student will also be considered self-supporting under
the federal guideli_n es if ~e or she is married, and will not
be claimed on his or her parent's 1987 income tax forms;
or, if unmarried, if he or she isn't claimed on his or her
parent's 1985 and ,1986 tax forms, AND if he or she made
over $4000 both years.
All other students will be considered financially dependant upon their parents.
"The student who's going to be caught in the middle is
the person who is 23 or under, hasn't been claimed for the
past two years, and has gone to school within the last year
on financial aid," Waddell says. This group of students
probably didn't earn the federally-mandated minimum, as
they were focusing on studies rather than on wage earning, says Waddell. "It's very unfair, and we're very
frustrated," she says.

Since 1917, these countries
have all fallen under the expansionism of Soviet Russia,
the champions of oppression
and cold-blooded murder.
Don't think for one minute
that
these

"invited" Soviet occupation
-- "Liberation."
If the people under communist governments like
their way of life, why do we
have boat people, the Berlin
Wall (and subsequent
escapes), solidarity in
Poland, ship-jumping in
every free port, and millions
of refugees coming from each
occupied country?

Airlines Flight 007 (both

the same navigational interference before straying into Soviet air space and being

goal of Russia. World conquest.
The goal of world conquest
is being reached by the communists. (When I say
"communist" I refer to the
Marxist-Leninist form of
government that embraces
Stalin's ideas of mass annihilation as a means of controlling the populace.) They
are winning. Some quick

I write to you in order to
rally the public to my side in
backing a noble cause.
As you know, Time
magazine, once a year,
choses its "Man of the
Year." This year, I think that
tJ::ie honor should go to the
b~ing who has most enriched
our lives. The being whose
contributions to humanity far
surpass those of anyone else.
That being is, of course, Bill
the Cat.
Bill has been able to bring
us a view of the world as only a brain-damaged mammal
could. He has given us the
expressions
''ACK'',
"OOP", and last but not
least, "PFFHHTT." Bill has
risen from the grave more
than once, reinforcing our
various religious beliefs.
Why, the Pope himself has
been quoted as saying
"ACK" on those special occasions that warrant it. Bill
has always been on the
for~front of technology, par-

ticipating in one of the first
large-scale cloning events,

To the Editor:
I'm writing in regards to
the Nov. 24, "Rape" issue of
the TORCH. This issue clearly illustrated the violent
realities of rape and the
nightmarish effect it has on
women.
As a male who has many
female friends and loved
ones, I'm also concerned and
appalled by violent, aggressive, sexist behavior.
This issue of the TORCH
made me want to crawl out
of my male skin and hide in a
corner.
My point is that many men
sympathize strongly with the
plight of women in our maledominated society. Many
men have also experienced
the atrocities of sexual abuse
and violence in an all-tooaccepting social and legal
system. And many of us are
striving to change our own

It's the holiday_ season

.

by Kelli J. Ray

Let's learn some tolerance

TORCH Editor

Most people agree that the winter
holiday season is a time for warmth,
caring, and giving among family and
friends. I think it should also be a
time for tolerance and acceptance of
others' beliefs.
Throughout history, various
religous groups have tried to wipe
out belief systems which differ from
their own, believing, perhaps, that
there was only one TRUE religion.
Because of this practice, there have
been more wars fought over varying
religous beliefs than over anything
else in history.
And this fighting is still occuring in
places like Northern Ireland and the
Middle East.
One of the biggest American
"wars" is more subtle, and surfaces
around the winter holiday every
December.
Some Christians are convinced
that Christmas is the only winter
holiday that counts. Some Jews denounce this, saying they celebrated
Hanukkah long before Christmas
came about. And many of those who
celebrate the winter solstice hold
their ground, saying that the first two
groups are off-base with their beliefs
, Page 2 The TORCH

and celebrations, and that a nature
and solstice-based belief-system
came first.
Those who capitalize on holidays
don't seem to care one way or
another, as long as there's a dollar
amount involved. And because that
group is in perfect agreement, great
progress has been made in the attempt to turn the winter holiday
season into a country-wide, manditory shopping spree.
Wouldn't it be better for all of us to

accept the fact that there is no right or
wrong set of beliefs? We would be a
strange country indeed if we didn't
differ in opinion, with our rich,
varied heritages and upbringings.
Let's try to enjoy what good we can
find in everyone without trying to
convert them in the process. The giving traditonally associated with the
winter holiday season can be expanded to encompass giving others a
break when it comes to beliefs we
may not fully understand.

Under-the-table deals?

On Dec. 4, LCC Pres. Richard
Turner confirmed that the college is
considering connecting LCC Board
Chairwoman Mary Unruh' s home
computer to the LCC mainframe
computer via a telephone modem.
Turner says that at no extra cost to
LCC, this will enable the college to
send Unruh electronic mail, a means
of communication faster than the
postal service.
Sounds good.
Except for the fact that all LCC
board members are supposed to have

access to the same information,
enabling them to meet on equal
ground when making decisions at
the monthly meetings.
And except for the fact that the
board didn't decide this together, at a
board meeting. In fact, the members I
talked to were entirely unaware of
the situation.
Although Unruh says that the
system under consideration is probaly unfeasible for her for technical
reasons, perhaps it would be best to
make decisions like these together -and in public.

ly our society's.
If we separate the sexes
and label female as victim
and male as the brutal aggressor, we will have missed
the whole point. The key is
that we all need to work
together, men need to learn
from women, (granted we
don't listen well) and
possibly by communicating
our feelings and needs we
can begin to heal this scar in
our social fabric.

Anyone listening to single-parent-students?
forum by Lois Grammon

LCC student

Compound the stress and complications of being a student with being a
parent. Add the isolation and aloneness of being single. Now, throw a job onto the already unstable pile, and you have some idea of a day-in-the-life of a
typical single parent/employee/student.
Don't read any further if you have a chronic aversion to hearing how the
other_si~e lives. But then again, this might sound all too familiar if you fit the
description found above. And your situation may be even more difficult than
mine is.
Imagine what it is like to:
• Spend the majorit~, of a paycheck, grant, or loan on childcare ... and not
have another income to fall back on. When it's gone, that's it.
• Miss class not only when you are sick or work schedules conflict, but also
when your children or their caregiver are sick. My guess is that most single
parents miss more classes than the average student, for the above reasons.
• Juggle the other parent's visitation with school, work, and children's
sche~ules, which is not conducive to the sanity or stability of any of the persons involved.
• Arri:ve h?me with six hou!s of homework to do by the next morning, dinne~ to fix (with an e1!1pty refndgerator), and kids who are no longer willing to
wait for your attention.

• Give up the "extraneous" parts of your life -- things like social contact,
housework, and recreation.
• Be unable to attend support groups and social activities designed for
singles, because of homework, or just overwhelming guilt at the thought of
leaving the kids with a babysitter -- again.
The guilt is the worst. No matter where you are or what you are doing, you
feel guilty. Spending time with the kids? You should be doing homework. At
the job? Think of all the work that lies in wait for you at home. Attending class
or studying? Remember what your four-year-old looked like when he said he
needed you this morning. Cleaning up the mess at home? What about that
test tomorrow???
Is it only our problem? Is it unreasonable to want others to be aware of our
need for some empathy and support?
There are simply not enough practical resources and support available to
single parents on this campus. No one even knows how many are here -- no
one asks.
Single parents have a lot stacked against them in the stuggle to improve
their earning potential. We need understanding from instructors. Every
course should include alternative work to make up missed tests and
assignments.
We won't go away; don't _i-."".etend we're not here.
Is there anyone out there listening?

Spend money on
students' needs first
forum by Rob Ward

ASLCC President

I would like to commend the LCC Board of Education for its
decision at its last (11-12-86) meeting to delay acting on the request to purchase $96,645 worth of computers and printers
for the Administration Building. I have two reasons for feeling this way.
• First, $66,645 of the proposal is to come from uncommitted Plant Funds (generally used for building and
maintenance). There are other places where this (Plant Fund)
money could be spent: Our roofs are in sorry shape; our computer lab on the fourth floor needs updated equipment to be
equal with some area high schools; the students of LCC need
a building they can call their own, a place where students can
have speakers, performers, and - recreational activities
without someone telling us "shut up" or "you don't belong
here.''
• Second, it comes down to priorities. I don't doubt that the
computer equipment would be helpful and useful. But is it
absolutely needed? At this time?
The Board of Education was correct in requesting more information before acting on the proposal. No one should feel
threatened in justifying an expenditure. When students
and/or departments come to ASLLL with fund requests, we
put them through the ringer. It's not because we have fun doing it, but we want our fears alleviated. It is merely standard
operating procedure.
It's easy to get in the habit of rubber-stamping. I've seen
student governments do it in the past. However, ASLCC has
set a precedent the past couple of years in regards to
allocating money. If someone wants money to purchase
equipment or fund an event, it is the ASLCC' s duty to be
sure all the proper planning has been done before approving
the request.
I have helped defeat two property tax limitation measures
since I've been at LCC. I have watched tuition increase over
the past two years at LCC. And next year, I would like to help
LCC pass its first tax levy in a long time next year.
But I want to be convinced that the money I pay LCC, and
the money I helped save, is being used for the utmost benefit
to students.

Chavez says farm workers
poisoned by chemical sprays
by Karen lrmsher

for the TORCH

Thirteen years after he began the first grape
boycott, Cesar Chavez again wants consumers to quit buying grapes.
Chavez, president of the United Farm
Workers, (UFW), swung through Eugene last
week as part of a 24-city tour to 11 Western
states to drum up support for a table grape
boycott.
He showed a 14-minute film called "The
Wrath of .G rapes," then spoke to a capacity
crowd in the EMU Ballroom at the UofO
Monday night, Nov. 17. The film illustrated
the massive use of pesticides throughout the
grape-growing industry, and showed
malformed and cancer-stricken children that
the farm workers believe are a result of this
spraying.
It pointed out that the grape-pickers and
their families are not the only victims, but
families in homes near grape-growing areas
are also affected. In one such area,
McFarland, Calif., 11 children within a sixblock radius have cancer.
Chavez said that 300,000 farm workers are
poisoned each year by the eight million

pounds of pesticides used annually on
grapes. "There are more birth defects around
the table grape growing industry than any
other area,'' he said. And residues of those
dangerous pesticides are still on, and
sometimes in, the grapes when they reach
the consumers.
He said that California's Governor George
Deukemejian ignores the farm labor laws
won through grape and lettuce boycotts that
stretched from the 1960s through the
mid-1970s. Chavez, now 59, was chief
organizer of those boycotts.
Added to the pesticide problem, major
growers are not allowing fair union elections,
and the UFW currently has no contracts with
table grape growers.
Specifically, said Chavez, the UFW is making four demands of the growers: (1)
Negotiations between growers and the UFW,
(2) Free and fair union elections, (3) Good
faith bargaining, and (4) Banning the
pesticides: Parathion, Phosdrin, Captan,
Dinoseb, and Methyl Bromide.
Chavez said he hopes this boycott will end
the way the first one did, with massive support from the public.

Exam week registr ation 'strain on studen ts, faculty '
by Linda Holmes

for the TORCH

LCC' s current method of conducting registration during the week of final
examinations is a "psychological, emotional, and monetary strain on
students and faculty," says Virginia DeChaine, LCC instructor in the English
and Foreign Language Department.
DeChaine raised this issue at the Nov. 19 All-Faculty Conference between
faculty, students, and Vice President for Instruction Jackie Belcher. Several
other instructors agreed with DeChaine, and asked Belcher to consider reexamining the established registration schedule.
Contacted later by the TORCH, DeChaine said that students find
t~emsleves '' at cross purposes'' because they are trying to concentrate on
fmal exams for one term and, at the same time, trying to plan their schedules
for the following term without knowing the resulting grades in their current
classes.
She said some faculty members and students have to deal with the conflicts
which arise when students' registration times are scheduled during their final
examination hours.
And she also concluded that during registration for Winter Term, it is difficult for some students to pay tuition just prior to the holidays, and three
weeks before the term begins -- a time when they could be "earning interest
on their money.''
"One element of life is not closed, and (yet) another is beginning," she
states.
DeChaine cites a possible alternative method suggested by a committee
headed by Study Skills Department Chair Pat John in which registration

Bewar e the elevato rs

could take place during the first two days (Monday and Tuesday) of each
term.
But according to LCC Registrar Bob Marshall, registering the first two days
of each term would require adding two instructional days to the end of each
term -- ''We feel that since students pay for a full term, they should get a full
term, he states.
Marshall says he has circulated a document to the departments involved in
the registration process, requesting their advice as to potential problems
which may arise from such an alternative. He will forward the information to
Vice President for Student Services, Jack Carter.
When asked about the issue of a financial burden for students during the
Winter Term, he responded that in order to ensure a space in a particular
class, LCC students must pay one-third of their tuition at the time of registration.
Marshall says that the current registration method was developed during a
period of time when "we had more students than classes to put them in."
Often, he says, the situation resulted in a high incidence of "ghost registration, where students would over-register for classes in order to secure
enough credit hours to meet minimum credit loads, but then they would not
actually attend all of the classes for which they registered.
Thinking of the future, Marshall explains that LCC Pres. Richard Turner
has appointed a task force to investigate the possible implementation of
telephone "touch tone" registration, whereby students may register for
classes over the telephone during a 15-day period at the end of each term.
The possibility is a "down the road alternative," he says, which would require a summer term test implementation when there is a reduced student
enrollment and thus less of a strain on the registration process.

You see people frustrated,

are humbled when they
realize their work isn't what

"From all aspects, it's a

whenever you dedicate

instructor
by the City of Eugene Parks
and Recreation Department
(designing brochures, flyers,
and covers for fiscal
calendars, among other
things).

One of Templeman's concerns is the lack of time
students have available to
produce quality work for
their portfolios.
"We're given an extensive
assignment and are so
swamped with other
assignments and CWE that
we can't really put the time
in that we want for quality.
We end up being up till 3
a.m. doing very technical
work and there's a wide
margin for error.''
Overall, Templeman says
the course is excellent and
that its instructors, Bets Cole,
Jerril Nilson, and Linn
Dohaniuk, make the program what it is.
Part-time
Instructor
Dohaniuk also works fulltime for Wisner Associates
Graphic Designers. In her
first year of teaching at LCC,
she says that she has an excellent group of students to
work with.
''First-year students must
submit their portfolio for
consideration into the second
year of study. I think that's a
good professional way to
prepare them. I try to give
them a flavor of the 'real
world' in my teaching. My
being here provides that
touch of reality, especially
when they see my bloodshot
eyes!"
Dohaniuk has been
employed in the graphics
field for the past 14 years,
and is concentrating her instruction on skills in graphics
production.
"I've worked in most
every graphics area as an apprentice. This program is

In her first year as a professional teacher, Dohaniuk
finds that the students are
very supportive.
''I really enjoy the students
and welcome their suggestions for my class. I think the
program is really well run
and we are given plenty of
time to train the students.''
Graphic Design graduate
Yvonne McCauley, owner

went through the program,
LCC was limited in its funding for the program. We
had one instructor and too
much material to go over. If it

Tuesdays and Thursdays and
working for Kelly the remainder of the week was, in
McCauley's opinion, the best
way to learn.
''The program instructors

know that all students came
back with good learning experiences. Mine was a double blessing because not only
was I receiving valuable
hands-on experience but I
was also getting paid for learning.''

Caring for llamas 101?

Improve you

by Beverly Moore

TORCH Staff Writer

Andrew Nelson

When people think of llamas, visions of Machu Picchu and
•high altitude Andean Indians might well come to mind.
But Gwen Ingram teaches people how to care for llamas
here in the Willamette Valley in her class "Learn about
Llamas.''
According to Ingram, there are several reasons for owning
a llama, including: to show and breed, to produce wool for
handspinning, to use as pack animals, or simply to keep as
pets. "Even if you just want it to mow your lawn," stresses
Ingram, "you need to know how to train it."
Ingram's major goal in her class is "to get llamas and people together so they are both happy.'' She covers both
general and specific care of llamas in the class, presenting
historical uses of llamas, and reviewing general livestock laws
that can affect llama ownership.
Ingram helps students know where and how to buy their
money's worth of llama. ''It's easy to buy a llama that has
four feet and looks like a llama," she says, "but with price
tags ranging from $500 to $75,000, care is needed to prevent
buying an animal that is all wool and nothing underneath."
Ingram and her husband, Jim Krowka, own 20 acres in a
beautiful wooded valley near Pleasant Hill. Aside from
"Dusty" and "Spiritus," their two male llamas, the ranch
has horses, cows, chickens, geese, dogs and cats. "We used
to have turkeys, too," says Ingram, "But now they're in the
freezer.''
''We both have degrees in music from the UofO,'' chuckles
Ingram, "And here we are on a farm raising llamas!"

Chinese diet, nutrition studied
by Beverly Moore

TORCH Staff Writer

One out of five people on earth is Chinese.
With this statistic in mind, it is easy to understand why
Loretta Plaa and Beth Naylor, Home Economics instructors
at LCC, think teaching the class "Food and Nutrition in
China" is important.
"Understanding more about Chinese culture can help
bridge the gap between the US and China,'' says Plaa.
'' And because food is so important to China, you have access into a lot of areas of Chinese culture through it."
Though many of the ~tudents taking the class are dietitians, Plaa believes everyone has more to learn than food
preparation. "How we look at things changes, and we
learn that some of the assumptions we have about
ourselves might not be true.''
Plaa and Naylor introduce their class with the study of
politics and history in China. According to Plaa, the
Chinese had trouble with starvation, beginning in the

1950's, because of a dramatic increase in population. '' It
took the Chinese 4,000 years to reach a population of
500,000,000 and only 30 years to double that to one
billion," says Plaa. Food is, consequently, an important
issue in China.
According to Plaa, ''The Chinese are very close to their
food. They use the ideas of Yin and Yang for their eating
ailments and medical cures, and even the word
"population" translates as "how many mouths."
Different kinds of Chinese cooking are exolored in thP
class, with the emphasis on rice and noodles. At the last
meeting, students will be treated to authentic Chinese
cuisine prepared by a Chinese student at the UofO.
"The Chinese people are extremely adaptable," says
Plaa. "They are often compared to bamboo, because they
have the ability to bend with the winds in storms.''
Learning about China through ''Food and Nutrition in
China'' might help students become more flexible in their
lives, says Plaa. Like bamboo in a storm.

Move over, Mary Poppins. LCC has begun a Nanny
Training Program of its own.
Nanny training became a reality this fall largely due to
the efforts of Linda Reipe, LCC Child Care Coordinator, .
who spent over a year developing the program, including spending the summer of 1985 in England
visiting nanny schools. "I was able to design our curriculum in thP British fashion," she says.
To become a certified nanny requires a 99-credit
Associate Degree completed over a two-year period, including one year of foreign language, among other requirements. ''I suggest,'' says Reipe, ''French, Spanish,
or German, since most nannies will have extensive
travel.''
• The first term includes such classes as "The Nanny:
an Overview," "Infants and Toddlers," and "Child
Development. ''
• Second term classes include: ''Creative Activities for
Children,'' ''Child Nutrition,'' and'' Professional Nanny l."
• Four of the five third term classes are '' Children
Under Stress,'' ''International Families,'' '' Cultural
Consideration s," and "Professional Nanny 2."

Yet Roth, and the nine other students currently enrolled, told the TORCH that although nannies work closely
with the children in their home, they are not "big

Observing Hanukkah has grown important to Jews
by Bryan Harpel

for the TORCH

Hanukkah, also known as
the festival of lights, is more
important to Jewish people
today than it has been in the
past, says Rabbi Myron
Kinberg.
Hanukkah is an eight-day
celebration to remember the
rededication and purification
of the temple in Jerusalem.
Judas Maccabaeus instituted
this festival to celebrate the
Jews' military victory over
King Antiochus IV and his
Syrian army in 164 BC.
Rabbi Kinberg lived in
Israel for two years before
coming to Eugene, where he
has lived since 1977 with his
wife and three children. Rabbi Kinberg notes two main
reasons that Hanukkah has
become more important to
Jews today.
• In the US, Christmas is a
major national holiday.
Christmas is a Christian holiday and most Jews do not
celebrate it. Celebrating
Hanukkah helps Jews to
'' maintain their identity''
during this time of year.
The books of first and second Machabees, although
not considered sacred by
most Jews, gives a historic
aspect of these events.
• Jewish citizens in the

the Jews in the days of the
Machabees.
Judas
Machabues fought for the existence of a Hebrew nation
against Syrian armies much
the way the modern nation
of Israel has.
In the days of the
Machabees, Antiochus IV, a
Greek conqueror, ruled
much of the area we know
today as the Middle East -including the Hebrew nation
of Judah. According to first
and second Machabees,
Judas and his brothers lead a
revolt against Antiochus' attempt to turn Jerusalem's
temple into a temple for the
Greek god Jupiter Olympius.
Judas won this war, relit
the Temple Lamp, and
rededicated the temple for
the worship of Jehovah, who
the Jews consider the one
true God. Jews believe that
the . Temple Lamp burned
eight days on one day's supply of oil.
Hanukkah and Christmas
are celebrated similarly in
some ways. Both are
celebrated by giving gifts to
children and charities. Rabbi
Kinberg points out that the
Jews gave gifts to children
this time of the year for 200
years before Christians did,
but the celebrations of
Christmas have influenced
Jews to make gift-giving a
more important part of the
Hanukkah celebration.

Most LCC international students
stay in 'Oreg0n home' over holidays
by Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writer

Imagine being thousands of miles away
from your family and friends at Christmas,
possibly for the first time in your life.
For many of LCC's foreign students, this is
reality. How will some of these students
observe the holidays in their new homes?
Marisa Hidyat, a journalism major from Indonesia, is spending her first Christmas in
the US. ''I graduated six months ago from
high school in Indonesia," says Marisa.
Although 95 percent of Indonesia's population is Muslim, Marisa and her family are
Catholic. Since she will be staying in Eugene
for the holidays, she will miss going to midnight mass with her mother on Christmas
eve.
This year, Marisa will settle for a $2 a
minute phone call to her family on Christmas
day, and a hoped-for visit to Seattle or
Portland with her roommate. .
"We've spent Christmas in three different
countries in the past ten years," says Virginia
Macoun, a visual design major from
Australia.
This Christmas, Virginia, her husband, and
four children are packing their belongings in
reluctant anticipation of a move back to
Australia.
''My husband has just graduated from
UofO with his MBA, but if he can't find a job
we'll be leaving for Australia on Dec. 27. I

â–¡

hope he can find a job so we'll be able to
stay.''
Amidst the confusion of moving, Virginia
will make the customary Christmas morning
phone call, open presents, and serve a traditional dinner.
"In Australia, it's summertime now and
the children start their two month summer
vacation on Dec. 5. On Christmas day it's
usually around 80 degrees and it's fairly common to serve a cold lunch with salads and a
variety of meats. But the English tradition of
at least one hot meal, plum pudding and fruit
cakes persists," says Virginia.
Marta Visuetti, a computer science major
from Panama, is fortunate to be flying home
for the holidays.
"I will leave on Dec. 15 and won't have to
return until the winter term starts," says
Marta.
Although the plane fare costs from $800 to
$900 for a round trip, Marta feels it's worth it
to spend the time with her mom, dad and
two brothers. "My mother and I go to midnight mass •at the Catholic church on
Christmas eve. Then on Christmas day we'll
have a dinner much like in America, with
turkey and ham."
In spite of the warm weather in Panama
this time of year, Marta says the celebrations
are very similar to America's, except
Christmas cards exchanged by Panamanians
don't display snow-covered winter scenes.

From Swedish massage to hot-tubs, an aerobics class
to garbage pick-up, and everything in between can be
given this holiday season with a gift certificate.
Gift certificates are a creative alternative to the usual
tie or bottle of perfume that goes unused until it's
donated to Goodwill.
For the person who has everything, a custom
undergarment is fitting. And a professional window
washing is clearly a nice idea.
If you are having trouble thinking of ideas for gift certificates, here are some ideas:
Appliance repair, auto repair, hair styling, child care,
cleaners, computer lessons, a visit to the dentist (ugh!),
excercise classes, child birth classes, an evening in a hot
tub, marriage counseling, midwife services, a motel or
resort stay, nurseries, pest control, pet grooming,
photographer's services, septic services, a pass to a
skating rink, or even a tan.
If you have an idea, call a store to make arrangements
for purchasing a gift certificate.
If you are on a tight budget and can't afford to spend
money this holiday for gifts, but desperately want to
give something, try giving your own gift certificate of a
service you can offer. For example, on a card, write
something like, "This entitles you to a free care wash."
Some things you can offer are: a home-cooked meal,
an escort to the library, a walk in the park, babysitting
kids so parents can go out, or even cleaning up someone's house.

The LCC Athletic Department, according to Interim
Athletic Director Bob Foster, has decided not to use
mandatory urinalysis tests on ·student athletes,
However, the same drug and alcohol policies stil apply to athletes participating in athletic programs at
LCC.
According to Foster, the department has the-goahead to conduct urinalysis on all athletes, but felt
that it would be in the best interest of the school if the
mandatory testing wasn't instated.

Dear Santa,
I've got a few questions.
• I've always wondered how the toy shop operates.
What if your elves decide to II go union"?
• How about your reindeer? What exactly is your
miles-per-bag-of-oats nowadays? If you would
redesign your magical sleigh you may get a better
m.p.b.
• I also have another weighty matter I want to
discuss with you. How in high heaven do you get
down the chimney?
You certainly can't fit through our six-inch stove
pipe, and you don't go through our front door.
• Have you _gone high-tech on the world yet, or do
you still use a quill and scroll to make your list and
check it twice?
Would a personal computer help you find out who
has been naughty or nice more quickly?
• Just how do you determine who is naughty and
who is nice -- or is that just one of those scare tactics
you picked up from parents all over the world?
Since I'm not sure about your standards, I can't say
for sure if I've been nice. I've only taken the Lord's
name in vain 60,000 times since school began, and as
of writing this letter, skipped class four or five times.
.But I have good reasons for doing _so.
So if you don't count my foul lan~age, and my little out-bursts of anger, I say I've been very good by
my standards. I won't bore you with all of the good
deeds I've done. Besides, working at the TORCH will
drive anyone crazy, so with good reasons I amwhat I
yam and that's all that I yam.
• One more quick question. Are you requiring a
urinalysis before you bring us any gifts or will you
us~ the naughty/nice standard scale?
My gift list is extremley short. All I ask is that you
grant two wishes:
Better cartoons for Saturday momings.(Get rid of
"Galaxie High" and ''Teen Wolfe." Let's have good
Warner Brothers cartoons.)
It would also be great to see better sports coverage
of LCC activities in The Register-Guard. We deserve
it.
I think you can handle these requests. I have a lot of
confidence in you.
Love, Val

the decision-making processes involved in setting up a new

something that doesn't come along often.''
Another reason for the move is the chance to return to the
Midwest, where the majority of his family lives. "Two hundred miles is a lot closer than 2,000," he says.
LCC Pres. Richard Turner says a temporary successor will
be announced soon, and a national search for a permanent
replacement will be conducted.
According to a Nov. 28 article in The Register-Guard,
Turner says Berry is '' one of the top college business officers
in the country.''
Mary Unruh, LCC Board chairwoman, agrees, saying Berry
has been an invaluable business manager, helping to steer
the college through some difficult financial periods of declining enrollment and budget shortfalls.
According to the article, Unruh says that losing another administrator may cause some people to think past controversy
involving Turner's management style is being rekindled.
"That may have been involved in the other resignations,
but that's not the case here," she was quoted as saying.

campus is already computerized, the use of
"ink and quill" technology hampers administrative effectiveness.
Decision-Making Process
Alvergue and Ward also criticize the
decision-making process.
"We (LCC faculty and staff) weren't informed (about the plan to request the
10-computer system) until the very end,"
says Alvergue. ''This is supposed to affect
the entire campus, so it should have gone
through the budget process."
Although Alvergue believes the budgeting
process was bypassed altogether, Vice President for Administrative Services Bill Berry
notes that the purchase of micro-computers
for administrative use has been one of the
stated college goals since June, 1986. He
allows, however, that the proposal was submitted to the board directly without review or
comment from campus interest groups.
Berry and Data Processing Department
Head Jim Keizur have agreed to answer questions about the propsal at the Dec. 8 ASLCC
meeting.
Ward also questions the process used by
the administration to make the proposal. By
contrast, he says, "A request from the computer lab may have to go through a lot of
levels or channels," but a proposal generated
administratively may not undergo that
review process, says Ward.
Turner responds that the process to
develop the proposal began "years ago."
"Sour Grapes" From Suppliers?
Roger Cardinal, head of Purchasing for
LCC, says the college sent requests for bids
on the system to six vendors: IBM, Xerox,
Honeywell, Pactel, Selectron, and Computerland. Only Xerox returned a bid by the
deadline.
One vendor delivered a strong indictment
against the process used to decide on a contractor.
''We would have been 'low bid,' but we
felt that the bid had been awarded before it
went out,'' claims Mark Evans of Selectron.
He alleges that a memo he obtained,
originating from the Data Processing Department, set guidelines that, in effect, would only allow Honeywell or Xerox to be awarded

the portion of the contract for the LAN. He
says that contracts are normally awarded to
only one vendor. "If various vendors supply
only parts of a system, it causes maintenance
problems.'' Specifications that limited the
LAN to only Honeywell or Xerox effectively
cut out local suppliers because they couldn't
supply the whole system, he says.
At one point, Data Processing Department
Head Jim Keizur acknowledged to the
TORCH that a memorandum describing the
LAN had been written. But in a later interview, responding to Evans' allegation, he
said "No memo exists on that subject."
And Evans could not produce a copy of the
alleged memo.
''That sounds like sour grapes on part of
the vendor," rebutted Cardinal. He also says
that Evans' Selectron attempted to submit a
bid on part of the proposal about an hour
after the deadline, which Evans admits.
Two of the other local vendors, Computerland of Eugene, and Pactel, Inc., deny
ever receiving the request for a bid.
"I've never heard of that one," says Jym
Jann of Computerland, who says he regularly
handles bids requested from LCC. "We
would have liked to bid on that one."
But LCC' s Cardinal insists that "To the
best of my knowledge, they were sent a proposal,'' although he admits that the college
didn't send the proposals by certified mail.
The IBM company of Eugene also failed to
submit a bid, partly because there was not
enough time to draw up an appropriate
response, according to a letter IBM sent to
Cardinal.
The proposals were mailed out to vendors
on Oct. 13, and were due back by Oct. 29.
The law only requires five days to respond.
According to Cardinal, the proposal was
changed several times up until it was sent
out. He showed the TORCH several drafts,
indicating varying amounts of equipment.
The request was increased from seven computers to 10 computers, from seven to 10
printers.
But Berry and Cardnal say that changing
requests for bids at the last minute is
sometimes required. ''We were looking at a
number of different systems," says Berry.

YOU COULD
PROBABLY
THINK OF A LOT
OF BORING WAYS
TO SAVE $25.200
FORYOUR
EDUCATION.
We haven't seen many
hored soldiers, though. We're
used to seeing young men and
women earn vocational/technical school money by learning
about high-tech tanks or truck
engines or radio communications. And hy getting into
rock-hard physical shape.
As soldiers, they can earn
up to $25,200 for their vo/tech
education, if they qualify. They
save $1,200 from their first full
12 months' paychecks. The
government chips in $9,600,
and the Army, $14,400. On
top of all that, they also receive
a good salary, food, lodging,
and medical coverage.
You could be one of them.
Ask your local Army Recruiter
about the GI Bill Plus the
Army College Fund. And how
it can turn saving money for
your education into a matter of
interest.

Tired of TV
specials?
Think VCR

by Muriel Willingham

for the TORCH

by Chuck Perry

for theTORCH

Too many holiday specials on TV? Think VCR and video
tape rental.
There are over 35 video stores in the Eugene-Springfield
area where you can rent movies and/or VCRs over the
holidays. Most stores have two different sets of standard
prices: Sunday through Thursday rental cost ranged from
$6.95 to $3.95, with Friday's and Saturday's prices slightly
higher (a dollar or so) because of the weekend demand.
Every video store seems to have some way to give
customers their money's worth. Some stores have special
days every week when rental prices are less, while some
places offer memberships that save ·money in the long run.
And some advertise coupons that cut the rental cost.
The stores offer neither holiday discounts nor student
specials.
The new movie releases for December are plentiful, and the
selection seems to be varied, with everything from Science
Fiction to Comedy. Some of the releases include: Maximum
Overdrive (Stephen King), Sweet Liberty, Manhatten Project, Absoulute Beginners, Karate Kid II, Howard the Duck,
Spies Like Us, Cobra, Blue City, and Out of Bounds.

Having fun and keeping
busy in December shouldn't
be a problem for EugeneSpringfield area children.
• The calendar is packed with
special activities kids will enjoy.
The three parks and recreation departments in the area
sponsor a wide variety of
events for kids. There is a fee
for most activities, and preregistration is required.
Eugene Parks and Recreation Department offers activities for pre-schoolers,
elementary school children,
and middle-schoolers at its
four community centers:
Amazon, Peterson Barn,
Sheldon,
and
Westmoreland.
Two centers launch the
holiday season with adventures for elementary-age
children on the Dec. 5 school
holiday. Amazon's trip is to
Clackamas Town Center in
Portland for ice skating,
