LANE COMMUNI TY COLLEGE VOL. 22, N0.13 JAN.2311 987 Sinoking tabo o in Cent er concourse by Beverly Moore TORCH Staff Writer The Facilities Management Committee (FMC) decided at its December 1986 meeting to make the 2nd floor concourse area in the Center Building a no-smoking area. According to a memo from FMC Chairman Paul Colvin, the decision would '' make it possible for students and staff to make use of essential services in this area without being forced to go through or be in a smoking area.'' Ashtrays were removed and signs were changed in the Concourse area to make f'1:) the recommendation effective this winter term. The FMC held a public ti hearing November 25 on their tentative decision to remove the smoking designation in the concourse area. Juneann K. Locklear, West Central Region Director of the American Lung Association of Oregon, encouraged the FMC to create a non-smoking area in the concourse. Bob Wolfe, LCC student, cited poor ventilation and the health hazards of second hand smoke as reasons to remove the smoking designation from the area. Several people protested the non-smoking designation at the hearing, and concern was expressed for finding an alternative area for smokers. f ntoxic ated studen t arrested by Kelli J. Ray TORCH Editor LCC secruity guards and several custodians subdued an intoxicated and "out-of-control" LCC student Wednesday, Jan. 21, but not before Security Guard Catherine Hall was injured, says Senior Trooper Mark Merrill of the Oregon State Police. Merrill took Charles Otis Reese, 20, into custody, for disorderly conduct, criminal trespassing, and noncriminal intoxication, where he was temporarily jailed, says Merrill. According to Merrill, LCC Security Guard Robert Rosage asked Reese to leave the gym Wednesday night during the men's basketball game, when it became apparent that Reese was intoxicated. Reese became belligerent, ran from Rosage, and "took a swing at him,'' says Merrill. Two other security guards joined the chase, in- eluding Hall, who Reese "kicked a couple of times" during the ensuing scuffle, Merrill says. Campus custodians joined the security guards, pinned Reese to the ground on the sidewalk west of the Administration Building, and held him until Merrill arrived to take Reese into custody. Conjerence to include "rutnor clarification" 1, Students and staff are invited to the second AllFaculty Conference Thursday, Jan. 29. The agenda items include: The proposal to purchase computers for top level administrators; plans to study the recent Dept. of Higher Education decision changing fouryear colleges to semester systems in 1990; the justification for an LCC budget election; and steps to promote enrollment. In addition to the planned agenda, faculty may ask spontaneous questions, and ask for "rumor clarification.'' Established as one way to improve communication between Vice President of Instruction Jacquelyn Belcher and the teaching faculty, the conferences are also open to students and college employees. The first conference in November drew over 120 faculty, students, and staff members. The conference will be held in 308 Forum Building at 2:30 p.m. Janice Burdick Adininist ra tors roles and responsibilities expande d by Lois Grammon TORCH Associate Editor The roles of Larry Warford, executive assistant to the President, and Marie Reid, secretary to the President/office manager have expanded, giving them new job descriptions and titles. "Through time, Dr. Turner discovered he needed to use those two people in ways that Dr. Schafer hadn't,'' says Director of Personnel Services Sue Colvin. New Executive Dean of the Office of the President Larry Warford now has direct supervision of the Office of Institutional Advancement and the Office of Institutional Research, Planning, and Evaluation. Until Warford's advancement, they were supervised by the President. Turner "needed someone else to manage those operations on a day-to-day basis," and as a result, Warford had "less time than before to function in the role he had," says Colvin. His new duties include responsibility for budget development and administration in the Office of the President, which includes KLCC and Employee Relations. However, he has kept some of the same duties he performed. ''Marie Reid has been given the role of administrative assistant; she functions more independently than before,'' says Colvin. Reid "didn't move to the same range of responsibilities " as Warford, Colvin says, although the title is the same. As Executive Assistant to the President, Reid's new duties will include reviewing policies to maintain knowledge of needed modifications, representing the President in the college and community, and collaborating with the President and executive dean in writing agenda analyses.

Isn't there some job in the military that doesn't require a person to be on a ship, submarine or in the cockpit of a It's time to face the problem openly forum by Rob Ward ASLCC President I've always felt that problems are best discussed in the open. This certainly holds true in the situation of Robert Thompson, a math instructor at LCC who recently regained his job after being convicted of sexual abuse of a nine-yearold girl last May. There is not one person on this campus who would say what Thompson did was right. Thompson admits that what he did was wrong. He admitted wrong-doing in a court of law and in front of the parents of the girl. I believe the first step in correcting errant behavior is admitting it. Thompson has done that. That's only the first step. He has been going through counseling for over a year and speaks honestly about his problem. He was sentenced in a . court,of law by a judg~ who is there to make such decisions. Thompson must put up with the stigma of being a sexual abuser. He could leave town, change his name, and teach somewhere else. His teaching ability has never been a question. Thompson chooses to stay in Eugene. It's better to face one's problems than to run from them. There are a lot of people in this town who know they have the same problem, will \ t King contest disappointing I by Kelli J. Ray TORCH Editor Apathy. That's one thing that appalled Martin Luther King Jr. And I think he would be a little dismayed by the apathy on the LCC campus today. For the last month, the ASLCC has been accepting submissions for the Martin Luther King, Jr. writing contest. Prizes were offered to the first, second, and third place winners who could best describe Martin Luther King's philosophy on nonviolent action and the civil rights movement. The winning essay was to be printed in the TORCH. I was looking forward to reading this essay. What would the author focus on, I wondered? Would it be on King's upbringing and education, which helped to form his philosophies on life? When he was a boy, King's father taught him to have pride in himself, telling him he was just as good as anyone else, no matter what Southern laws said. Perhaps the author would add a paragraph on the support King's wife, Coretta Scott King, gave her Page2 The TORCH not face it, and continue to molest children. By being willing to talk about his problem and face it, Thompson lets everyone know that it is still a problem. We could have forced Thompson out of town. Some people here would like that. Let's sweep "the problem" under the rug. Let's pretend "it" didn't happen. It will go away by itself. Thompson got a fair trial. The decision for him to remain teaching here came from the courts, the psychiatrist, and the arbitrator through the faculty union. Some people might not like it, but it was fair. I have talked to Thompson. I don't believe he is a monster. He has a problem and he's willing to deal with it. However, a couple of counselors want to be judge, jury, and executioner. This isn't the Wild West anymore, folks. Thompson is willing to talk. He is not hiding. What about the girl? She is the victim. But restitution is being made. And at least her abuse has stopped. How many children in the community are being abused each day? Hopefully, by offenders going through counseling and support groups, perhaps someday we can find an answer to this, one of life's illnesses. We can't wish the problem away. We can't ignore it. We must face it!! husband. She knew the realities of racism intimately. One of her many brushes with racism came when her father's house and mill were burned down because his success brought envy and resentment to the white community. Or would the focus be the Jim Crow laws King helped abolish, which made discrimination and brutality against blacks the standard, not the exception? These laws treated blacks as inferiors to whites, and expected them to act that way -- even to the extent of forcing them to walk with their heads down so they wouldn't be accused of looking where they shouldn't. These laws dictated that blacks eat at separate restaurants than whites, go to different schools, and even sit in a separate part of the bus. Maybe the author would look at specific examples of King's work. Like the time when King organized a boycott of the Montgomery bus system and changed Southern laws forever. Two months after King became a minister, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white man. That was when King, with a new job and new _baby, took a position in the community to organize a one-day boycott of all Montgomery buses. That one-day boycott lasted 381 days, as King walked with fifty thousand people until bus segregation was declared illegal Thus began the civil rights movement. King's philosophies on life would make a great essay, so the author could have focused on one of those. King greatly admired Henry David Thoreau. From him, King borrowed the idea that "We can no longer lend ourselves to an evil system.'' And because King held fast to the teachings of Gandhi, his nonviolent philosophy had to be proven physically as King was jailed and beaten by those who felt threatened by his effectiveness. I was looking forward to reading the winning essay. But I regret to say that I won't be printing it this week. The ASLCC didn't receive even one submission. plane? The taxpayers paid for this man to go to school so he could serve as a military officer, and now he won't have to. Being a great basketball player has its advantages. The real irony exists in the financial aspects of sports. Athletes usually attend college on scholarships and are then given the opportunity to sign on with professional teams after graduation, where many make $100,000 a year as rookies. The average student, however, is expected to pay for his/her education, pay to join an honor society that wi1l recognize his/her achievements and pay to see his/her athletic friends perform in competition. Athletes are entertainers who are paid to perform for an audience. This fact, though, should not allow them to take advantage of the school system. Until we find a system that rewards both the academic and athletic students, the quality of education in this country will decrease. The morale and self-confidence of the academic students will continue to be crushed by the almighty athletic student. EDITOR: Kelli J.

January 23, 1987 Lefties feel left out To the Editor: On the entry door to Math and Art 129 should be posted a sign: Right-handers Only; South-paws Unwelcome. I was, and I believe rightfully so, a "bit upset" when I entered the classroom and found before me a forest of very right-handed desks. Even though only about 10 percent of the population is left-handed, I am of the firm belief that we, the lefthanders of the world, should be afforded the opportunity to be at least as comfortable as those of you who are right-handed. I find it odd that, in this enlightened age of general acceptance of differences, a classroom of this sort would have ever been designed. Is there anything' that can be done to "write" this wrong?

Actually, I haven't found much TV that's any • good. fact the is there However, that America is a Soviet target. Russia doesn't want nuclear war any more than we do. However, they do want conquest, as seen with Afghanistan. If the (American) family continues to break down, USSR will conquer us, and then who will ring freedom? The only way to conquer someone is to break their very foundation, which is family in America. Look, let's work for peace. Let's also keep America as a strong military force. The young children today don't even know about WWI, next they'll forget WWII. If this continues, history will repe~t itse]!. So let's not get caught with our guns down.

I have written to both organizations strongly supporting their right to freedom of expression and thanking them for speaking of defense in out '' Amerika. '' Ms. Brewer's choice of language clearly identifies her world view. I am strongly opposed to her desire that we trust the government of the Soviet Union and the United Nations. My trust must be earned, and I see no reason to risk my life and liberty by extending credit to a known bad risk. Without an open marketplace of information and ideas, I cannot know who to trust nor how to protect myself. Ms. Brewer is attempting to limit the availability of information, thereby reducing the value of any conclusions the critical consumer of ideas may make. If she has good reason to trust the Soviet Union, I would hope she would present those arguments, instead of trying to gag her opposition. see Letters, page 7 _ _ __ Nationwide camp.aigg launched Group urges suspension of nucka r weapon s testing forum by Vip B. Short Eugene Businessperson The American Peace Test (APT) is a national organization, now based in Las Vegas and Washington, D.C., which has its origins in Eugene. APT's purpose is to bring about an intentional suspension in US nuclear testing (matching the Soviet gesture of the past 17 months) as a first step out of the otherwise-fatal nuclear arms race. APT participants believe that our means must be consistent with our goal; we therefore designed and implemented a nationwide nonviolent direct-action campaign as the vehicle to achieve our purpose. The focus is on mutual selfempowerment for meaningful action. Required elements are a commitment to truth and honesty about our actions; complete harmlessness; and the willingness to shoulder personal sacrifices in the pursuit of our goal. In this way, our opponents' hearts will be changed and nuclear testing will stop, as a larger truth becomes apparent to all concerned. We try to carry on the high spiritual/political tradition set out by "truth force" pioneers such as M.L. King Jr, Gandhi, the Suffragettes, the Abolitionists, and the founders of this country -- to name a few. More than 900 people have been arrested for civil disobedience at the Nevada Test Site since Hiroshima Day, 1985, when the USSR began its testing moratorium. Among those willing to go to jail over this issue have been Carl Sagan, actor Martin Sheen, former defense analyst Daniel Ellsberg, the top national leadership of Physicians for Social Responsibility, the American Public Health Association, and the National FREEZE Campaign. Gandhi, speaking of the normal life-cycle of . nonviolence campaigns, said, '' first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they crack down. Then you win." A recent sign of APT's effectiveness and momentum is the indictment by Nevada officials of several Peace Test staff members for conspiracy charges. We are told that the maximum penalty of one year in prison will be sought if these people are found guilty of conspiring to commit misdemeanor crimes. This is an outright attempt to crush a successful and growing national movement of conscience by putting away its perceived leadership.

With 12 seconds remaining in regulation play, Mike Maki hit an inside shot to tie the score at 67. Coach Dale Bates took a time-out to discuss the Titan attack. Lane came out with a tough defense, · and got the ball back with five seconds remaining. Todd Doll's last second attempt missed the mark, and the game went into overtime. Lane fell behind in the overtime period, at one point by as much as seven points, but Pat Bodine brought Lane back with a couple of three point plays. "Tony Broadous was the man of the hour down the stretch," says Bates. Broadous scored six of his eight points in the overtime period, including the gamewinning basket with only two seconds reJ.11.aining. Bates says of the shot, "It was a very heads-up play on Tony's part. A lot of people may not have had the smarts to dive to the hole like he did, but he went in there really tough and that was real intelligent on his part." Broadous had eight points and three rebounds, and was named the Most Valued Player. Bodine led LCC in scoring, with 19 points and 2 rebounds.

But in the second half, Roadrunner sophomore Dian Erickson pulled her team to a quick 14 point lead. However, her efforts did not subdue the Titahs until the final minutes. The Titan front line began playing with a vengeance, cutting the lead to seven points. The emotion of the comeback effort was displayed when Maryanne Graham, who ended the game with 12 points and 19 rebounds, was hit with a technical foul for protesting a call. Capitalizing on the free throws from the foul and technical foul, Linn-Benton then took a ten point lead Freshman Theresa Hosier took charge, scoring five of her game-high of 19 points in the final two minutes. The Titans came within six points by using a full court press before the final buzzer. Coach Dave Loos said of the performance, "At 3-3 in league play we're in the thick of things.''

I hadn't gone on a ranting fit since the OSU/UCLA game. But I was about due for another one any moment. So I picked up the sports section. Maybe I shouldn't have. There I was, flipping through The Register-Gu ard (I read back to front), and everything was on an even keel until I hit page three. The headline read '' Can players survive wives and sex, too?" Talk about your catchy headlines! Amazing -- a new plot twist to the pre-Superbo wl hype, and here it is four days away. Why all the fuss about husbands and wives being together before the Superbowl? What do the coaches think the players and their wives do the night before home games, play Trivial Pursuit? They sure as heck don't live like monks and nuns -- that would take all the romantic fun out of the marriage. Really, it's nobody's business what happens between two consenting adults. I mean, they have license to do what ever they wish to do in the privacy of their own home. If pre-Superbo wl sex is all the newsmedia can find to say about Superbowl XXI, maybe I'll find a good movie and celebrate Brownbowl XXI. My favorite team didn't make it, and when the Browns and the Redskins were knocked off, well, let's just say I lost interest in any Superbowl . I think this year's Superbowl will be a superdud.

Clackamas 53-48 in league game of spurts and momentum swings, but the Titan defense sealed the victory at LCC last Friday night. Earlier in the game, it looked like Lane would break the game open, taking as much as a 12 point lead midway through the first period. Suiting up only six players, the Titans set the tempo us- ing an extremely active zone defense, forcing numerous Clackamas turnovers and poor shots. Nearly every turnover and missed shot was followed by a Titan fast break. Clackamas was forced to subsitute regularly in a futile attempt to keep in step with the running Titans. During the second half of the game, the Titans went to a gambling, energy-drai ning half court trap. Unfortunate ly, the Clackamas offense thrived on the shots Lane forced them to take.

Used book prices are established by a given formula, which is 3/4 of the new book price established by the publisher. To be objective, students should consider the value of the book when sold back to the store to arrive at a net cost for use of any book. If a book is ordered by the faculty .for the next term, the customer will receive 1/2 of the new book price for a book sold back to the store, even if they purchased it used. There is no question that used books are the best buy for the student. Our emphasis is on obtaining as many copies as possible from students as well as from the used book wholesalers.

Wingren LCC Student Work search nets top job offer To the Editor, After having requested job search assistance from the LCC Student Employment Service, I received a card today asking me to call about an available job. I called and was indeed offered a job reference. As a topless dancer. For a reason that escapes me, I was surprised and embarrassed to receive such an offer from the same college at which I spend my days expanding myself with respectable subjects such as Economics and History. Thursday's Register-Guard carried an excerpt of a lecture of Chief Justice Edwin Peterson's, regarding gender perception and sexual discrimination against women. What sticks in my mind is that, when asked in a study "what if they woke up one day as the opposite sex," grade school aged boys reacted with horror, and the girls were all quite pleased at the thought of being boys. I can see why. If you're a boy, you could expect never to receive a job offer con- tigent on whether you will show your penis in public or not. Now, I want to defend our Student Employment Service, which is doing the ·best that it can with little to go on. Why should they be burdened with morally classifying the incoming job openings on top of everthing else? But if I, as a woman, had to make a job offer like that to another woman, I'd feel disturbingly close to doing some man's dirty work for him. I think I'd refuse. If it doesn't start with us, it won't start at all.

ASLCC program honors King by Muriel Willingham TORCH Staff Wi;jter The problems Martin Luther King, Jr. faced more than 20 years ago are still with us in 1987 America, observes a visitor to the United States. Medi Hesse, English instructor from West Germany who is teaching at LCC this year under the Fulbright exchange program, was the keynote speaker for the Jan. 20 observation of King's • birthday. qosp.e1 rock music by the ''Inspiration al Sounds''' choir opened the noon session. UofO Prof. Edwin Coleman read from the works of black writer Langston Hughes. At the close of the noon hour session Coleman played the bass, his son Edwin Coleman III provided percussion, and LCC Pres. Richard Turner III accompanied on the piano while vocalist Charmaine Coleman sang "I Want To Be Free." The events were organized by ASLCC Cultural Director Rico Perez, and the Master of Ceremonies was LCC Student Activities Director, Jay Jones. LCC' s Vice President for Instruction Jacquelyn Belcher introduced Hesse, who asked the audience to picture a white attorney distributing material describing AIDS as a black disease plaguing America; she reminded listeners of a white gang in New York City attacking three black men -- in fact, killing one -- for eating pizza in a white neighborhood. Both events happened within the last month. She quoted black syndicated columnist Carl Rowan who wrote recently that the increasing number of violent racist acts has to do with "the national climate set by people at the very top of federal and local governments, and those leading business and industry. The social climate in America today says that racism is tolerable again, and even Page8 TheTORCH fashionable in some neighborhood s.'' But she said there are certainly signs of hope. ''Twenty years ago this college would not have had a black president and a female black vice president." Yet she said she does not see in America the deeply rooted values to produce such a society. Instead, she sees a country dominated by ''business-typ e thinking,'' producing a population obsessed with shopping, commercial TV, and being entertained. ''What Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement represent to me is an alternative to the moneymaking orientation . . . . I think 20 years later we can still learn from the movement and King himself." • We can learn that King, with his abilities, could. have risen to a high position in society, but chose to become a minister. • We can learn that the civil rights movement was antiindividualistic and societyoriented, that both blacks and whites were willing to fight for the goal of a society in which each human being is respected. • We can learn that King's decision led him to Birmingham jail and his giving voice to his concerns about LANE COMMUNITY COLLEGE PRESENTS black humiliation, and eventually to threats, attacks, and death. • We can learn that the civil rights movement's message has spread, but children need to see their families living out the movement's goals if they are to learn other values than making and spending money. King wrote in 1967 of the poverty of the spirit. He said, '' the richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually ... our material abundance has brought us neither peace of mind nor serenity of spirit." Hesse experienced that in 1986 as "an emptiness of the soul. .. not only in America but also in my home country." At the end of her remarks, however, Hesse said that during the last week she became encouraged, seeing Eugeneans demonstratin g their support of King's goals; through the high school students' march to the Hult Center on Jan: 16, through 4-J School Superintenden t Margaret Nichols' sympathetic speech, and through people she has met who are living King's ideals. !
