LA E CO U ITY COLLEGE VOL. 22, 0.10 DEC.5,1986 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 see Loses, page 14 Major change for Financial Aid Eugene brightens the holiday season with special events (see pages 10, 11, and 16). by Kelli J. Ray TORCH Editor 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. see Criticizes, page 14 Learn to talk like the animals Graphics Program gets to the point Denali Magazine Page 8 Pages 6-7 Inside Russia's goal: world conquest To the Editor: What do the following countries have in common? Ukraine, Armenia, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Prussia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Albania, · East Germany, Czechoslovakia, North Korea, Tibet, Cuba, China, Albania, North and South Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia, South Yemen, Afghanistan, Grenada, Nicaragua, and Surinam? 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 countries "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? Recent accounts -- like the 1978 downing of Korean Airlines Flight 902, and the 1983 downing (269 innocent civilians died, along with Congressman Larry McDonald) of Korean r ' F.ir ~- . Airlines Flight 007 (both flights experienced exactly the same navigational interference before straying into Soviet air space and being shot down without warning), and the vile invasion of Afghanistan -- all point to the 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 research will verify this letter. It's only a matter of time before the American people wake up, but by then it might be too late. bavid P.

Carol Brock Vice President for munications Com- Nominate Bill the Cat · To the Editor: 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, and the list could go on forever. So please, join me in writing to TIME, and urge them to honor this being, as he so richly deserves it. OOP, ACK, PFFHHTT Mark C. Yturralde LCC Student Communication heals scars 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 social processes and hopeful- 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. Tom Lively LCC student The LCC Center Building will be closed from Dec. 22 through Dec. 25. The TORCH will be on the stands again on a weekly basis beginning Jan. 9, 1987.

December 5, 1986 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? Admin. computers? 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, 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 What kinds of classes would you like to see? compiled by Kelli J. Ray 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. TORCH Editor "I think the welding instructors are very good.

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. 11 11 Building computer lab.

Graphic Design majors must complete courses in drawing, photography, basic design (color theory), lettering and layout, and publication design and production during their first 'year. Second-year students gain "on-the-job" experience (through CWE) to build their skills while studying the techniques of production and graphic design in class. ''Lane is the only college to offer hands-on experience. That's probably the most valuable part of the course,'' says Skoog. He is currently employed through CWE by a free-lance illustrator. ''We just finished two brochures for EWEB and we're also working on a children's book that will have lots of puzzles.'' Fellow graphics student Jackie Templeman chose LCC' s Graphics Program when she realized she didn't want to spend valuable time studying prerequisite courses for an art education major. ''I found out that LCC has one of the better Graphic Design programs of community colleges and a better program than the UofO. You learn the skills in class and then go out into the community and practice those skills. What's especially valuable is that you learn about professional-client relationships.'' Templeman feels that the second year is more competitive than the first because of the deadlines.

' "From all aspects, it's a learning experience, and whenever you dedicate yourself to a program this extensive, there's going to be a challenge. Sometimes it's uncomfortable, but if you're dedicated, you're going to find a solution." Templeman divides her interests in graphics between design and production. She is employed .through CWE Andrew Nelson Jerri/ Nilson, Graphic Design 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 basically like an apprenticeship. We're going to teach them everything we can. We'll also take some tours of agencies in the community to learn their techniques." caring and concern we would have been overwhelmed."

''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 and operator of McCauley Graphics, says "At the time I 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 wouldn't have been for the sional. Attending school on 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 make an effort to see thaf students who want a job get one through CWE, and I 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.''

"Some students feel the second year just scratches the surface,'' states McAlister. ''They might do a certain design project only once, but the goal is not just to train people for entry level positions, but to give them enough breadth in the field so they aren't stuck at the entry level.

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 by Beverly Moore TORCH Staff Writer Is playing Blackjack in Reno just the h According to Bill Mullin, instructor Reno," a basic computer strategy all minimize his or her losses.

'' 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.

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.

The TORCH Page 9 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 country of Israel relate with m ~ <vY 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. n11m m [I Better thy grades!

Hanukkah is celebrated this year starting on Dec. 27. Since the Jewish day begins at sundown, it will officially begin the evening of Dec. 26. 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 □ 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. ;~t:)~t:)~C).i=.~.i=-1::)~C).i=.~~t:)~C).i=.~.i:: In The Refrigerated Section Full GSL's for students attending half time or more $833 .00 minimum No account required No appointment necessary FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL 342-1781 or just stop by M-F 10-5 to talk with one of our student loan representatives Hanukkah is best symoblized in the lighting of the menora.

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. ·, .- f f f g ·o t t. t \) f f f K •o t t t \) f ·o t t t \) f •--~-~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~:0-~-~-~-~-~-~-i;')a,.t\a,.t\.o,~-~-~-~: . - .. . . . . i ~~_,.-,...,~':>.JIAll.oCil~"'--'(l't'l~, choice, purchase the gift, and return the wrapped package, tagged with the ornament, to the tree.

Page 12 The TORCH 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.

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.

Loses, from page 1 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ the decision-making processes involved in setting up a new administration system, hiring college staff, finding the location of the yet-to-be-built college, and locating temporary classroom sites, in such facilities as area high school classrooms and churches. ''This kind of opportunity is 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.

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. 687-6431 1663 Gorden Ave. (off Fronklir. 0lvd.) 345-9046 ARMY. BE ALL YOU CAN BE. The TORCH Page 15 Enjoyment for area children 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.
