Locat ion of Regys run funds misunderstood

oney placed in another account should be in the ''United
We Stand" foundation, says its president, Jack Jackson.

Money raised in a benefit
run for the "United We
Stand" fund was instead
deposited in the LCC Foundation, according to Dagny
Phillips, coordinator of the
Oct. 12 "Duck to Titan
Challenge'' race.
Phillips says she deposited
a total of $553 from race fees,
donations, and t-shirt sales
in the LCC Foundation so
that it will be more accessible
to the college. The run, coordinated by Phillips and
ASLCC Sen. Victor Jordan,
was sponsored by the
ASLCC and the UofO student government.
Phillips says she had difficulties locating the bank
branch where the "United
We Stand" account was
located. She says she spoke
with Dr. Fred Loveys,
department head of Health
and Physical Education,

about depositing the money.
The two decided to deposit it
in the LCC Foundation after
she had difficulty finding the
"United We Stand" bank account, according to Phillips.
She says she was confused
about where the money
should go, and couldn't
reach Jack Jackson, the
founder and president of the
"United We Stand" foundation, the non-profit organization collecting donations for
Regys rehabilitation equipment for LCC's Correctives
Department.
Jackson says he was in
Dayton, Washington, for
treatment in a hospital there.
However, he says, "I'm surprised that there was any
confusion, because when I
talked to her there wasn't."
The address of the bank
and the name of the account
were both included in
TORCH articles publicizing
the event, he says.

''I do feel very strongly
that the money should be in
'United We Stand.' If she
was going to put the money
in another fund, she should
never have contacted me,''
nor advertised it as for
"United We Stand," he
says.
People who read the article
and joined the race would be
under the impression that
the money was for the fund,
says Jackson.
He adds that "if anyone
does want to get involved,
such as the ASLCC, they can
serve as honorary board
members of the foundation.''
Jackson thinks there would
be an advantage if the funds
were consolidated in the account at Centennial Bank's
West 11th branch. He thinks
it would be more accessible
to the public, and he would

Thompson regains job ASLCC's Robbins leads student

Math instructor Robert
Thompson returned to his
teaching position Winter
Term to mixed reactions from
LCC students and staff six
months after his position was
terminated by LCC Pres.
Richard Turner.
Thompson, convicted on
May 7, 1986 of sexual abuse
for molesting a 9-year-old
girl, received a notice terminating his employment on
July 14, for what Turner considered "just cause."
Turner's reasoning was that
Thompson had been convicted of a felony, and a
crime of '' moral turpitude.''
Thompson says the Lane
Community College Education Association (LCCEA)
grieved (challenged) the
decision, saying that Turner
had acted without "just
cause" by "unjustly ter-

minating" Thompson.
According to Turner, ''The
Education Association requested arbitration of this
matter, which they are entitled to under the contract
entered into between the
association and the community college board, which
provides in part that any controversies between the
education association and
the college board will be
decided by an arbitrator, and
the arbitrator's decision will
be binding upon both of the
parties."
After hearing both sides of
the issue, the arbitrator
recommended that Thompson's position be reinstated,
and he is now back in the
classroom.
But it hasn't ended there.

Reagan demands 'slave labor'

Budget to eliminate work study
Forum by Rob Ward
ASLCC President

Ronald Reagan proposes to eliminate College Work Study. Now hopefully he won't
get his way. But this is a bargaining ploy.
CWS might not be eliminated, but what level
it gets funded depends on how students raise
their voice and how loud that voice is.
What does CWS mean to Lane Community
College and its students? Plenty! It gives
students practical employment experience.
They learn how to fill out a time sheet. They
learn how to keep a schedule and be responsible for it. They learn what it means to be
evaluated. After two terms, CWS students
have a chance to rise to the next pay level.
But first they must sit down with their supervisors and talk over how they, the students,
are doing. Last, but not least, students pay
taxes on their CWS earnings. If that's not getting students ready for life in ol' USA, I don't
know what is.
More importantly, what would happen to
some of the student services if Work Study
was cut?
The Student Resource Center employs 20
work study students. Their jobs range from
recycling, housing coordinator, child care
coordinator, bulletin board workers, photo
I.D. coordinator, and general resource people

Task force promot es flexibi lity and healthy workers
by Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writer

Many LCC employees are
running, walking, biking,
and swimming to 13 community_colleges in Oregon.
That is, they're logging the
distances they run, walk,
bike or swim at home or
around the campus, then
charting the miles on an
Oregon map which links the
13 community colleges.
A brainstorm of the LCC' s
Employee Wellness Task
Force during the 1985-86 college year produced the idea.
''The program was so successful that employees continued to log their mileage
over the summer," says Sue
Colvin, director of Personnel
Services and a task force
member. "We're planning
awards (in) recognition of
those people.
''There's really no proof
that wellness programs have
a direct effect on productivi-

ty, or reduce health care
costs, but I just can't help
believing that it really does
help," Colvin says. "I know

The task force is also committed to reducing stress and
absenteeism among the staff,
and rising insurance costs,
states Kurt Schultz, a PE instructor and task force
chairman. He says the task
force hopes to provide opportunities for employees to
relax through a daily fitness
break, which can also increase alertness.

It will be a competition of
weight-loss between departments or within departments, and will challenge
and encourage the staff
through a team approach.
She notes that the competition is taking place after the
winter holidays.

Traps lure cats in for
alterations operation

Robbins, from page

by Diane Davis
TORCH Staff Writer

LCC' s cats are about to be
fixed.
Donations received from
students and faculty during a
"Neuter the Cat" fund raiser
are sufficient to begin spaying and neutering stray kittens abandoned on the LCC
campus last summer.
At that time, concerned
staff members in Mechanics,
Food Service, and Counseling departments adopted the
wild kittens, and began a
fund-raising drive in late October to help defer the cost of
altering the cats. Hopefully,
this will prevent their further
multiplication and make
them useful co-habitants on
the LCC campus.
"So far, we've managed to
trap two females and three
males and had them taken
care of," says Ted Kotsakis,
head of the Mechanics
Department. "The expense
is running around $40 for
females and $25 for males.
We're lacking $80 to fix the
remaining three kittens that
we're aware of, but we
understand there might be
one more cat. The problem
we're having is that someone
is playing with the traps and
setting them off. We're not
catching these kittens to have
them destroyed, if that's the
thought behind triggering
the traps. Whoever is setting
them off needs to know
they' re denying the kittens
food, which is what we're
using as bait."
The kittens who have been
spayed or neutered are easily

recognized by a shaved
thigh, Kotsakis explains. College staff members feed the
marked kittens, but deny
food to the three which remain. Instead, they place
food in the traps as a lure.
Once caught, the remaining
kittens will be delivered to
the veterinarian for spaying
or neutering, and innoculated against diseases.
The cats control pests
around the Food Service
Department, says Kotsakis.
"But that doesn't mean LCC
is a dumping ground for
strays. Any others found on
campus will have to be taken
to the pound," he says.
Additional donations are
welcomed to help with the
innoculation and medical expenses for the kittens. Donations may be made payable

the funding and expertise to launch a much
larger lobbying effort, according to Robbins.

While CCOSAC determines its own agenda, the legislative priorities established by the
Oregon Community Colleges Association
(OCCA) is a factor in setting the agenda.

CCOSAC pays the PIC team's expenses,
and members must register in Salem as professional lobbyists to receive credentials. The
first task on reaching Salem will be to "find
out who the players are," according to Robbins. Next is a process of discovering "what
we can do to support them (the legislators) so
that they can support us," he says.

Robbins. "We put our platform together independently, but OCCA was of some influence.''

Students and local artists combine for electronic concert
by Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writer

LCC' s Theatre Arts Program introduced several new
staff members this year.
Rick Harris takes over
stage and lighting design;
Judith Harrison, costuming;
Aaron Posner, oral interpretation; and Jerry Seifert
will teach acting and directing classes.
However, new faces are
not the only changes taking
place.
''We are looking for more
ways to collaborate in this
department, not only in the
production of performances,
but also in the classroom. We
want to give students a more
holistic experience,'' says
Dick Reid, . interim department head.
"We're performing arts, so
we have both theater and
music, but we're not two
separate departments under
one roof," he says.
Reid hopes a February concert will help realize the
department's goal to raise
the production values of LCC
concerts to the same level as
the theater productions. It
will involve LCC students,
local artists, and a Los
Angeles headliner in a multimedia event featuring stage
and lighting designs, dance,
lasers, videos and electronic
music.
"Students are intrigued by
electronic music and sound
track work, probably because
of MTV," says Ed McManus,
music instructor. '' One of
our goals is to offer students
who have an interest in this
area the means to pursue
that study in a well-designed
lab, with good instruction."

McManus, who taught
classes in electronic music at
the UofO while still in high
school and developed one of
the first nationwide programs for electronic music, is
currently testing IBM software for the international
market which will allow
48-track recording for synthesizers.
'' Our students are able to
see . . . technology in advance of the public,'' says
McManus. "In the future we
hope to become a Beta test
center for synthesizer software."
But students with no prior
music experience can enroll
in electronic music courses,
as well as piano and music
theory.
''We have a beginning program that starts from ground
zero,'' states Barbara Myrick,

In her fourteenth year at
LCC, Myrick instructs the

says, creates literate musicians.''

''I feel a real pleasure in being here," states Myrick. "I

Wherever I go, I see a

But LCC' s Performing Arts
Department is not just
music; it's theatre arts, too.
According to Reid, music
and acting are both forms of
human communication.

Needed in Pac-10:
•
aggressiveness
by Val Brown

TORCH Sports Editor

Civil War.
The words paint pictures of blue and grey uniformed people fighting with bayonets .
Well, maybe in a history class, but not during
basketball season. The uniforms are green/yellow
and orange/black, and basketballs are used in place of
cannonballs.
Since the time I was old enough to say
" kamikaze," I was a~lowed to watch the UofO
Ducks' basketball games.
Coach Dick Harter, Mike Drummond, Ron Lee,
and Greg Ballard -- those were household names,
and those were the days when the Ducks spilled their
guts on the court for the basketball! Once in a while,
you see a flair like those old days.
Now, things have changed. The Pac-10 has introduced the shot clock and the three point play, as
well as a penalty for the "intentional foul."
And new rules or not, the first battle of this year's
civil war was a rotten game! Not just because Iain a
Duck fan, but because both teams played sloppy and
inconsistent ball. The breaks went to the Beavers and
they got the win. But the Ducks weren't beaten, they
simply lost.
For a team to '' get beat,'' both teams must play
well. But neitDer OSU nor UofO played well.
It maybe true -- the Kamikaze days are dead
and gone. I sure would like to see them back. But
since basketball is and always has been a non-contact
sport, I ·at least want to see a team that would rather
die than give up the ball.
So kamikaze style or no, the pµc;:ks and Beavers
need some aggression soup before they play.
It is probably a good thing that both the Ducks and
the Beavers play in the Pac-10, considering the way
other NCAA teams play, or the state of Oregon
wouldn't stand a chance.
Although the Beavers may have won the first
"battle," it would be nice for a change to see a real
war for the fans at Mac Court.

the emotional responses
they're having when they're
making their decisions about
this issue.
''What are all the people at
LCC afraid of? His crime isn't
against anyone or anything
at LCC."
Miller, who mentioned
that he has a daughter of his
own, says he once felt the
same mistrust and hostility
towards Thompson that
some of the other staff
members might feel now, but
adds ''I took the time to have
a long talk with him, and in
my judgement Robert
honestly understands what
he has done, and the importance of being truthful in
future relationships. My
prescription for the doubters
is that they try the personal
talk before judging him from
afar."
Thompson himself also
believes in rehabilitation. He
has been in counseling for
one and a half years, and
meets weekly with a men's
group made up of other offenders. "The men in my
group are predominantly
nonviolent in nature, and we
meet to work through our
past manipulation, betrayal
of trust, and subtle, selfish
ways."
Thompson says that some
of the men in the group go
before a group of teen-age
victims and allow the victims
to vent their feelings and
frustrations in an attempt to
lessen some of the trauma
they've created.
Thompson has found that,
for the most part, the LCC
staff and students he's come
into contact with have been
supportive of his rehabilitation efforts. However, he
says, "People like Dave Roof
scare the pants off the offender and victim, and when
they see this kind of sensationalism, it makes them
want to sweep it all under
the carpet.''
Thompson says that one of
the men's group's primary
goals is "to help other victims and offenders come out
of the closet, so that some
healing can take place. There
is an incredible amount of
fear that takes place on the
part of the offender and the
victim, and we' re trying to
lessen that fear so that
assistance can be obtained.''
Thompson hopes to be able
to help others through his experience, and says that
primarily, he wants people to
know that the average sex offender isn't the transient
passing through town. And
once the situation comes to
light, "There's a whole lot of
support in the community
for correcting the kind of
wrong I've done."

Outlook for Oregon jobs
by Brian Harpel

for the TORCH

Employment opportunities
in Oregon are moving away
from lumber and construction and towards service occupations, says Jean Conklin, LCC Career Information
specialist.
Jobs are harder to find in
the altered economy, but
they do exist, says Conklin.
"It's just that with the
market so tight competition
is greater."
Between 1979 and 1985,
Oregon lost 42,600 jobs in the
combined fields of construction, lumber, wood and
paper products, says Conklin, citing Oregon Employment Division Research and
Statistics.
And recently, David Allen
of the Oregon Employment
Division wrote in an Oregon
Careers article, ''The recesJanuary 16, 1987

sion of 1980-83 ca used
100,000 people to leave the
state. Most of these people
were lumber and wood products and construction
workers. Many of the jobs
held by those workers have
not returned to Oregon's
economy in spite of a national recovery of these industries."
Allen notes an increase in
the number of technical and
professional jobs in the state.
Nevertheless, he writes
that a college education
won't be required for many
occupations in the immediate
future of the state."
The ''Demand Occupations" in Oregon are sales
representatives, secretaries,
and sales clerks.

Stop." Foster redoes
everything in this section.
More work on problems,
weak spots, highlights.
According to Foster, Director Peter Torelle is number
one. After Foster puts a song
together, Torelle can come in
and change it. "I might have
to throw things away.
Sometimes I have to start all
over," adds Foster.
Working on the Birdie production has been fun for
Foster. ''I love the variety of
dancers you get at • LCC.
Some are professionals and •
some have never danced·
before. When you're working with all different

backgrounds, you have to
make them all look good. It's
hard work," she admits.
When asked when the
show will be ready, Foster
says, "It never stops growing. You're not really ready
until you can't wait for
somebody to see it."
Fosters style and professional qualities are sure to
make Bye Bye Birdie a great
success. But for now, until
opening night, Foster can be
found in PA 103 calling out to
her dancers, "O.K., got it?
Let's do it from the top one
more time. That's 1, 2, 3, and
4-step."

Ah, the life of a dancer!

That's more realistic.

Foster can work on the ''Put

dancers work over and over
on the moves, adding ideas
along the way. Larry Suttoµ
picks up and swings Maria
Bianchini into his arms and
almost misses his hold.
"Whoa," cries Bianchini.
Foster says a dance production is a process of layering. Things become '' more
refined, until in the end you
have the finished product,''
she says.
More work. "Go over that
rhythm, again. What was
that step? 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Ready? 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Again," insists Foster,
"There you go. Don't look at
the floor. Let's do it from the
beginning.''
From the beginning. How
many times more? Plenty
more. With one and a half
weeks left to opening night,
the dancers still need the
rough edges smoothed out.
Props must be added here
and there. "We'll work this
with more props," says
Foster, "Think about what
