Community College Month Yuppies; No leaders
time to fight student aid cuts
forum by Kristine A. Hayes

LCC Student

forum by Rob Ward

ASLCC President

February is Community College Month.
It's a time for all students and employees of
Lane Community College to take a moment
and reflect on what this institution means to
each and everyone of us.
Yet, what do the students mean to the college? Everything! Students are the lifeblood
of the college. Students are the sole reason
Lane Community College exists.
Around 60 percent of the students at Lane
receive some sort of financial aid. This aid
ranges from Pell grants, to College Work
Study, to National Direct Student Loans, to
Guarenteed Student Loans. All of the above
are subsidized by the federal government.
Unfortunately, for students, Pres. Ronald
Reagan and Secretary of Education William
Bennett believe we don't deserve this aid.
Reagan and Bennett believe we should
work 40 hours a week at minimum (or subminimum) wages and work our educational
goals around that. And if we do need a little
"extra" money to pay our bills, we can borrow it.
Reagan and Bennett's priorities are screwed up.
The Associated Students of Lane Community College are setting up a Finacial Aid
Action Committee (FAAC). It is headed by
student Senator Dan LaMarche. The purpose
of this committe is to (1) educate ourselves
about the new and also the proposed changes
in financial aid so that (2) we can educate
other students. There is a lot to be done. We
need help. If you can spare a few minutes a
week, contact Dan or myself in 479 Center

Building, ext. 2330.
President Reagan and Secretary Bennett
believe the future of financial aid is high interest loans. They believe grant programs
should be phased-out. Futhermore, the new
program that Secretary Bennett is excited
about is called the ''Income Contingent Loan
Program. The ICLP is like the Guaranteed
Student Loan, except it is not subsidized by
the federal government.
Instead, interest accrues on these loans at
the annual Treasury Bill rate while the student attends school! Or, the bank can allow it
to accrue each year resulting in a higher level
of debt upon leaving school.
The student's payment rate is contingent '
upon his or her income after leaving school
(hence the name of the program). There is no
time limit on repayment, and at no time will a
borrower be asked to pay more than 15 percent of his/her income per month. The
Department of Education is selling this as a
big plus, but the ICLP means long-term debt
subject to changing interest rates -- this
translates into much greater payments over
time by borrowers.
People with lower incomes will end up
paying more because they pay longer.
The ASLCC, in conjunction with FAAC, is
embarking on a letter-writing campaign to
our represenatives to show our disgust with
this and some of the other financial aid proposals.
Next week in the cafeteria we will also staff
a table to provide information.
February is Community College month. Let
us make sure it will continue to be finacially
possible to attend!

During the celebration of
Martin Luther King's birthday, people were surprised
that racial riots were breaking out in this country. People thought that celebrating
King's birth would cause a
resurgence of positive thinking and help promote racial
harmony. Instead, it became
all too clear that racial prejudice is still a threat to this
country. I think part of the
problem can be attributed to
the younger college generation -- we are a generation
without a cause or a leader.
People criticize the college
students of today. We are the
generation between the ages
of eighteen and twenty-five,
and dubbed "YUPPIEs.
Some say we are more concerned about BMW's, bank
accounts and finacial status
than about the environment,
racial harmony or the ERA.
But are our attitudes about
these issues a result of a lack
of concern or a lack of leadership?
College students have
traditionally been politically
active. Riots, marches and
protests often start on college
campuses to oppose or support what a speaker has said.
Men like King and Kennedy

Marriage: trap or togetherness?
by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Editor

For some, getting married conjures
up images of a loving couple agreeing to share their lives together.
For others, marriage seems like a
. trap.
Having recently become engaged, I
find myself wondering just how a
"loving couple" could evolve into
two people who feel "trapped:' Part
of it, I think, can be explained by the
couple's concept of marriage itself.
In their book Open Marriage, Nena
and George O'Neill describe two
typical situations partners can find
themselves in: a "closed marriage,
and an '' open marriage.''
When two people enter into a
"closed marriage," they essentially
agree to follow traditional, sex-role
stereotypical patterns of behavior.
They also seem to agree to the following:
• Possession or ownership of the
mate. Saying "You belong to me," is
very different than ''You belong with
me.''
• Denial of self, i.e., the sacrifice of
individual ~-.2eds and identity for the
partnership .
• Maintenance of the "couple
front'' -- perpetuating an image .of
togetherness.
11

B~ge2 TheTORCH

• Absolute fidelity, i.e., physical
and even psychological bonding to
each other, through coercion rather
than choice.
• Total exclusivity -- enforced
togetherness will preserve the union;
friendships with others will destroy
it.
Those involved in a closed marriage may not admit, even to
themselves, that they've agreed to·
this kind of contract. Yet subtle tension may build up when the delicate
balance between role-expectations
and realities shifts.
One solution could be to maintain
the traditional sex roles, aQd prevent
all others from relating to one's
beloved. This would reduce conflict,
but growth would also be minimal
and stagnation is likely to occur. To
me, this sounds like the "trap" I'ver
heard so much about.
Another solution is an '' open marriage,'' one in which both partners
are more free to create their own
marital roles. The goal is that each
partner experiences equity in the
relationship, and that each communicates openly about ·any problems, .experimenting with new solutions if the first ones fail.
An open marriage encourages
growth and change in both partners,
and although there may be more con-

flict because of this, the resulting
relationship is also more solid. And
with both partners'. needs being met,
I could see this couple remaining
"loving" for a long, long time.

Laws differ

by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Editor

It might be wise, especially for
women, to find out exactly what
''marriage'' means in their particular
state.
Under Title VIII, Husband and
Wife, of California's Senate Bill 252
for example: "The husband is the
head of the family. He may choose
any reasonable place or mode of living, and the wife must conform
thereto.''
And on top of that, ''The respective interests of the husband and wife
in community property during the
continuance of marriage relations are
present, existing and equal interests
under the management and control
of the husband.''
Fortunately for Oregon wives,· the
laws in this state have been updated
with the changing social trends, and
no longer treat wives as irresponsible, helpless creatures incapable of
making decisions.

pie had to choose how they
stood on an issue.
Today, we don't have
those great speakers to guide
us. The politicians of today
must speak about every issue
in generic language that appleals to the majority of the
voters.
Issues like ERA and
desegregation are important
to our generation, but we
don't hear about them much.
The college student who is 20
years old is not old enough to
remember the racial marches, the peace movements
and the great debates over
the ERA amendment.
There's no doubt that our
attitudes have changed. A recent survey c'?nducted by
UCLA shows that. only 53
percent of coliege freshmen
in 1975 thought financial
status was essential or very
important. Over 73 percent
of this year's freshman rate it
as an essential part of their
lives. And there have been
drastic declines in the way
current freshmen rate the importance of racial understanding, helping others in difficulty and being involved in
environmental clean-up.
We aren't a generation of
uncaring students -- we have
merely grown up at a time
when few people will lend
their leadership to a cause.

United Nations
falls short of goal
To the Editor:
In answer to Linda
Brewer's letter to the editor
(1-16-87), it should be
pointed out that the UN was
originally founded with the
noble intention of bringing
the nations together to iron
out their differences. Sadly,
the UN has fallen quite short
of its original goals.
It now seems that its only
purpose is for communist nations to condemn the free
world.
Witness the lack of condemnation from the UN after
invaded
Soviets
the
Afghanistan (1979), the
downing of civilian airliners
in 1978 and 1983, and
Russia's stronghold on basic
human rights in every country she occupies. The very
fact that the United Nation's
Secretary General has protested against the airing of
"Amerika" points to a double standard of censorship. It
angers me that there are people in the world who choose
to hide the truth for the purpose of attaining their goals.
''Peace at any cost'' seems
to be the banner that they
and
"Peace"
wave.
"dis-armament" were the
cries of pre-war England
before she was bombed by
Hitler.
Could it be that the UN
Secretary General doesn't
want the US public to see
what a Soviet conqueror
does to its hapless victim?
I'm sure the program is quite
mild when compared to the
soviet-created human carnage in Cambodia, Vietnam,
Ethiopia,
Angola,
Afghanistan, Korea, Poland,
Hungary, China, Cuba, etc.
The issue here is one of
censorship. If airing
"Amerika" brings out the

Semester,.

truth of Soviet brutality, then
how much better can peace
be attained than by uncovering the haters of peace and
humanity, and subsequently
dealing with them?
Presenting people with the
truth can only bring about an
awakening to reality, thereby
creating a natural setting for
problem-solving. Truth is an
excellent way to bring about
real, lasting peace.

Bookstore takes
excessive profit
To the Editor:
I have one problem with
Ms. Hendrickson's explanation about the cost of used
textbooks to LCC students in
the LCC Bookstore (TORCH,
Jan. 23, 1987). How many
times does our bookstore
need to make a profit of at
least 25 percent on the same
textbook?
The way I understand this
issue is that if the same textbook is sold back three times
and the price paid to the student is 1/2 the publisher's
suggested retail price, the
bookstore turns around and
sells it for 3/ 4 the suggested

Is the overhead in the
bookstore so great it
demands this kind of profit
margin? If the answer to my
question is yes, maybe a few
changes are in order.
I've always been under the
impression that a school's
bookstore is a service to the
students and faculty, not the
other way around.
Something doesn't feel
right to me about my having
to go to Smith Family
Bookstore to get a good,
reasonable deal on my required textbooks because I
can't get the same kind of
customer consideration from
my school's bookstore. Both
the students and faculty of
this school know the thrifty
consumer doesn't dare go to
the LCC Bookstore for
bargains. Isn't that sort of
sad?
It reminds me of some of
my Navy friends that bought
brand new American cars
from a broker in the Philippines and picked them up
when they returned home
because the broker could
save them at least a thousand
dollars of what they would
have spent had they bought
their cars at home.

Mr. Cross' main point is
that selfish humanists are

somehow, creating problems

The reality is that our overpopulation is threatening our
ability to survive on this

own ecological envelope. .
I find insane Mr. Cross'
suggestion that we try to
keep up with the Third
World in population growth.
There is also a strong racist
undertone to Mr. Cross' letter: He never mentions

To the Editor:
I am writing in response to
former student Michael
Cross' letter to the editor in
the Jan, 23 issue of the
TORCH.
I am very amazed by Mr.
Cross' extremely limited
world view. Here is a former
college stuq.ent whose social
concepts encompass only
two sub-groups of humanity:

eliminate a month of summer work time, according to the
paper.
Board Member John Alltucker, of Eugene, cast one of the
"no" votes. According to the Oregonian, he expressed concern that students would be well-versed in fewer subjects, ·
rather than be exposed to a wider range of knowledge.
John Bernham, director of counseling at. LCC, shares this
view. ''Breadth of learning is more important than depth of
learning, especially during the first two years," because ~
base of knowledge can ·be carri~d into any specific field, he
claims.
He is not convinced that longer class sessions will increase
a students level of learning. "With semesters, you get thirty
weeks per year in the classroom, and with quarters you get
between thirty-three and thirty-five," he points out. "It's
hard for me to visualize the same quality of learning in three
fewer weeks.''
Other concerns include difficulty in transferring for ,
students from Oregon community colleges.
''Requirements based on a semester system are not the
same as requirements based on a quarter system," warns
Bernham. This can cause problems for students transferring
from one system to another, particularly in the middle of a
course sequence, he says.
In addition, a semester plan offers fewer starting dates,
which can make it harder for a student to enter school, notes
Bernham.

The ESL classes use many

there is a great need for ESL

15-20 ESL tutors are - still

W-4forms
simplified
by Robert Wolfe

TORCH Lead Reporter

The new tax laws have
been termed "tax simplification'' by the Reagan Administration -- but you
wouldn't know it looking at
the new W-4 form.
Last year's two-page W-4
has been ''simplified'' to
four pages.
The W-4 form is used by
employees to tell employers
federal
much
how
witholding tax to hold back
from each pay check. This
money is collected by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
and used to pay your federal
taxes at the end of the year. If the IRS collects too much,
you get a refund. If they
don't collect enough, you
pay.
According to Steve Matthews, a public relations
specialist for the Portland office of the IRS, the new form
is needed to allow people to
more accurately predict their
rate of witholding under the
new tax law, which
eliminates many deductions
allowed under the old law.
''It's very possible someone
could end up owing a lot of
money at the end of the
year" if they don't take time
to use the new form, according to Matthews.
The form is so complicated
that the IRS has agreed to rewrite it, national media have
reported. However, there are
already millions of the forms
in the hands of employers.

Cultures mix at Peer Mentor retreat
by Julie Crist

for the TORCH

Designed to help introduce international
students into the social circles of American
students, the Peer Mentor Program ran into
an unusual problem for a program offering
free help -- a shortage of people.
During Winter Term the program, initiated
by Julie Baker, a secretary in the English and
Foreign Language Department, received 30
applications from American students wishing
to acquaint international students with life in
the US. Baker is the current -committee chair.
_But out of approximately 145 international
students, only 15 have sought American
companionship through the program so far.
According to international students
Hidehiko Suyama and Yoko Tsuji, the two
program coordinators, reasons for the low
participation rate vary from international
students' hesitation to reach out to the new
and strange culture, to the students' carrying
double-the-average full-time school load.
''But,'' points out Mason Davis, the International Student counselor, "education is
not just what you get in the classroom. The
Peer Mentor Program has two goals: One is
to help international students break into the

American students' social circles, and the
other is to give a hand to the students who
are too shy to make the first move."
In the first group activity, a combination of
about 30 American and international
students spent a weekend at St. Benedict
Lodge by the McKenzie River Bridge.
The first outing of its kind for some of the
students, Davis said a prevalent concern was
not having any heat. The lodge, however,
proved to be heated.
Students spent time getting acquainted
through shared meal preparation and activities such as collage-making and perceptual awareness games. They took turns playing ping pong and learning how to use the
lodge's pool table, which Davis said saw
"very heavy traffic.
The students contributed $5 each for the
trip, and private donations -- totaling $330 -helped pay the balance.
Applications for the Peer Mentor Program
may be submitted to the Multicultural
Center, 409 Center Building.
An International Coffee Hour is held there
every Thursday, from 1:30 to 3:30 p:m.
Refreshments are served and everyone is invited.

Festivals, music planned
by Matt Portch
for the TORCH

Peace Week, Outdoor Jazz, and a Cinco De Mayo festival
are in the ASLCC planning stages.
But ASLCC Cultural Director Rico Perez is concerned with
a lack of student body participation. He says that for many
students, a community college creates an atmosphere like
that of an extended high school -- students come to school, attend classes, and return home.
Perez is organizing the use of a new ASLCC Reader Board
to display upcoming events and would like assistance from
other LCC departments.
"The Martin Luther King Program (Jan. 20) would not have

did not ask their students to attend. Perez is hopeful that

High school diplomas valued

Bands rock the Great Wall

High School Completion
enrollment increases

by Toby Ten Eyck

for the TORCH

by Tony DeBates

for the TORCH

After several years of declining enrollment, LCC' s High
School Completion (HSC) program is once again seeing an
increase in students.
HSC Chair Dave Oatman says that 226 full and part-time
students -- the equivalent of 130 full-time students -- entered
the program this fall, due largely to the ''new'' recognition of
the value a high school diploma carries.
LCC provides two six-week courses per term in the skill
areas required by the state for a diploma. These courses cover
the same content as high school curricula, but LCC accelerates the rate of study.
Compared to most high school campuses, Oatman says,
HSC also offers a more mature, adult environment for
students to learn in. Feedback from HSC students often
shows that the new environment plays an important part in
their return to the classroom, he adds.
Of the students enrolled, Oatman says better than 90 percent are recent high school dropouts -- and many are often
advised by school counselors to seek high school completion
via the college campuses.
''It's not like they get kicked out the door and get forgotten,'' he says.
The program currently has six instructors -- three teaching
full-time, and three teaching both HSC courses and those
from the regular college curriculum.
HSC, now part of the Adult Education Department, existed
before the LCC campus was founded in 1965. Previously
operated in 4-J district schools, the program has undergone
continual curriculum changes. Yet, Oatman says the concept
of providing adults the opportunity to complete their high
school educatiori' has not changed.
The HSC specialists evaluate new students' high school
transcripts to determine the number of credits HSC can
honor. HSC then develops a program for the students, with
the goal of completing the remaining credits for a diploma.
Students completing the program often move onto college
courses, says HSC Lead Instructor Evelyn Nagy. And HSC
offers seven or eight LCC tuition scholarships each year.
The scholarships, she says, '' are not based on academic
achievement so much as whether the student will make the
best out of the scholarship."
"We act as a springboard to life-long learning," says Oatman.
Since 1980, students finishing the HSC program have also
completed 7000 college credit hours, she says.

AS_LCC approved requests
for $1,843 to fund projects
which include a $1,200 electronic reader board for
display of announcements,
student activities, time

audiences had been allowed
to see groups like Wham!,

These groups were not
welcomed with open arms by
the Chinese government,
and • audiences were not
allowed to get up and dance
during the concerts. Anyone
who did get up and dance
was quietly escorted from the
concert.
Rust says that recently, the
restraints have been loosened, and more pop and rockn-roll bands have been invited to play perform behind
the Great Wall. But rowdy

government concerns could

Moderate exercise
Inay
extend life span
by Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writer

How much exercise is the "right"
amount?
The no-pain, no-gain cult of physical
fitness is disappearing amidst studies from
Stanford University (1986), the University
of Southern California (1972), and the
University of Minnesota (1983), that too
much physical activity may be hazardous
to your health.
A moderate amount of exercise may be
enough to help you live longer, but doctors, such as cardiologist Arthur Leon of
the University of Minnesota, are quick to
point out the the biggest _h ealth hazard is
getting no exercise at all.
If you are over 45 or suspect any health
problems, see a doctor before starting any
exercise program. As re<;ommendeq by the
three uni;versity studies, choose lowimpact (no jumping or bouncing) aerobic

e~ercises, and maintain a consistent exercise schedule.
Some suggested programs:
• Swimming 20 to 30 minutes every
other day can burn up to 360 calories in
half an hour.
• Cycling 30 minutes every other day on
any type of bicycle or a stationary cycle can
burn 200 to 300 calories per half hour with
vigorous pedaling.
• Walking -- start with 20-30 minutes or
from one to two miles every other day,
and build to 30-45 minutes, three to five
times a week. If you move briskly, you can
burn around 100 calories per mile.
• Runners are encouraged to maintain a
balanced exercise regimen, alternating
aerobic exercises with strengthening and
stretching . . When jogging, run hard
enough to sweat, 20-30 minutes three
times a week, but not so hard you can't
carry on a conversation.

SWOCC beats Lane

Women have good time winning

by J. V. Bolkan

for the TORCH

Capitalizing upon their opponents' frequent mass
substitution, the Titan
women beat the visiting
Lakers of Southwest Oregon
Community College 73-52
on Wednesday, Jan. 28.
At the five minute mark,
with SWOCC leading by
two, the entire second unit of
the Lakers entered the game.
The Titans rallied to a 12
point lead against the
substitutes.
Three minutes after the
original mass substitution,
the Laker starters checked
back into the game. For the
remainder of the game,
SWOCC continued to switch
the starters and the
substitutes.

Sheryl Jones, who led Lane
with 18 points, said, "We
tried to go at their second
team harder -- we knew they
weren't as strong."
Lane went into the locker
room with a 38-24 lead at
halftime. SWOCC's first
team cut the lead to five
points midway through the
second half, then the second
team made another appearance.
Against the Laker second
team, Lane extended its lead
back to 13. Again, the Laker
coaching staff executed a
complete personnel change.
The Titans scored seven
straight points against the
Lakers to open up a 21 point
lead that stood for the rest of
the evening.

The unusual subsitution
pattern of SWOCC was questioned by Lane's assistant
coach, Liz Turner. ''We were
suprised by the coaching.
They should've learned from
the first two games we
played against them. Our
girls don't get tired."
Titan head coach, Dave
Loos, added, "They (Lane)
don't get tired if they're having fun and scoring. Tonight
the girls were really having
fun."
The Titan defense forced
the Lakers to commit
numerous turnovers, allowing Lane to unleash its potent running attack.
The Titans play at home on
Saturday, Jan. 31 against
Western Oregon at 6 p.m.

Retort to athletic
overgeneralization
by Val Brown

TORCH Sports Editor

The message in last week's forum by Kristine A.
Hayes made me sick to my stomach, not to mention
furious.
Although I have to say I agree with some of her
points, in my view, she didn't experience her four
years of high ·school to. its fullest potential.
In high school, I was ambitious, somewhat bright,
and very much goal oriented. Just about the only differences between Hayes and myself are the facts that
I loved my three years of high school, and I participated in athletics.
I chose not to attend social activities (with the exception of my senior prom), because I was taking batting practice or catching pitching practice. Something
had to be sacrificed. I chose to limit my social life.
Yes, it's true, some school administrators in thP
. public school system let academic standards slide.
But athletics benefit students by educating them in
skills they can't learn sitting at a desk.
My three years of high school softball taught me
how to deal with pressure. I also learned leadership
skills, which are very important to today's youth. I
learned how to speak my mind, and not be pressured
into doing something I don't believe in.
My grades didn't suffer; I kept a B average while I
was athletically active. Many collegiate athletes also
keep up their grades -- it is in the rules to keep the
grades up.
Oregon's Keith Balderston is a pre-med student
who holds a high grade point average.
I must say I do agree with her gripe about David
Robinson. The Naval Acadamy knew how tall he was
when they recruited him for the team, and the Navy.
But to allow him to serve only two years is crazy.
However, Hayes uses Robinson to prove a point
that is grossly overgeneralized. Several other famous
athletes have served their country without damaging
their careers.
The two that first come to mind are Roger
Staubach, for'mer quarterback for the Dallas
Cowboys, and baseball great Ted Williams, who served his country during World War II. Both resumed
their careers and were successful after.
I'm not sure what school Hayes attended, but there
were more seniors in my graduating class who received academic scholarships than there were who
received athletic scholarships.
And the State of Oregon doesn't favor athletes,
either. No state aid is given to UO or OSU athletic
departments.
Hayes must have felt very intimidated and lacked
self-confidence as a high school student.
If Hayes wants something to really complain about,
she should think about the fact that all through college, women play out their athletic careers, and once
they are finshed with college, they must find work
elsewhere.
There are no professional teams for women.

January 30, 1987

The Titan women's basketball team used an innovative
box-and-one defense to keep
the Umpqua scorers from
reaching double figures, going on to beat Umpqua 70-30
in a home game Saturday,
Jan. 24.
The box-and-one defense
frustrated Umpqua, and
sparked Lane's fast-break.
Theresa Hosier held Umpqua's leading scorer, Tracy
Maupin, to just two points,
18 below her average. No
Umpqua player was allowed
to score in double figures, as
the Titans held them to 21
percent shooting from the
field.
The tough defense led to
numerous fast-breaks.
Strong rebounding and crisp
outlet passes opened up the
floor for guards Lisa Gregg
and Cara Murock. •
Umpqua was forced to foul
in a futile attempt to slow the
Titans down. With almost
eight minutes remaining,
both Sharon Barrett and
Maupin had fouled out.
Umpqua played in constant
foul trouble, of Umpqua's remaining five players, three
finished with four fouls
apiece.
Maryanne Graham finished with 18 points and 20 rebounds. Sheryl Jones scored
12 points and Nicki Essma·n
tossed in 13 points. The Lane
guards combined for an additional 22 points, as both Cara
Murock and Lisa Gregg dished out four assists. Gregg used her agility in the first half
to make five steals.
After the game, Coach
Dave Loos was generous in
his praise. ''The girls really
took pride in their defense. .
. they executed a new
defense even though we
haven't really practiced it."
Theresa Hosier was the
defensive star of the Titans,
as she was assigned to
-Maupin for most of the·
game. Lisa Gregg, a late addition to the team, felt she
played her best game ever.
''I really felt like I fit into the
, team tonight."

Work on movie location prolllises good memories

James Woods

Meeting actor James Garner, pictured here with Primrose,
was a highlight of the experience.
by Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writer

Meeting Hollywood actors
James Garner and James
Woods was an added benefit
when LCC broadcasting major Michael Primrose built an
"on location set" for a television movie filmed in Oregon
this past September.
Garner is best remembered
for his acting in the longrunning Maverick and
Rockford Files television
series. Woods is known for
his starring roles in Against
All Odds, Once Upon a Time in
America, and the controversial Salvador.
The shooting for The Promise, a Warner Brothers
''Hallmark Hall of Fame''
production which aired on
CBS Dec. 14, took place on
locations in Salem, Dallas,
Corvallis and Triangle Lake.
The movie featured Garner
as a small town bachelor set
in -his ways, who is given
charge of his schizophrenic
younger brother (played by
Woods), after their mother's
death.
Primrose worked at
Triangle Lake, 20 miles west
of Eugene, the location for a
fishing trip scene in the
movie.

'' Garner is trying to help
his brother with his
schizophrenia and he thinks
taking him back to their
childhood fishing spot will
help jog his memory," says
Primrose. ''The lake they fish
at has a sixteenth century
boathouse that looks like an
old castle. That's what we
had to build at Triangle
Lake.''
His roommate works for
the Hult Center assisting on
local productions, and
Primrose, a professional
photographer, intended to ·
photograph members of the
cast when he accompanied
his roommate to Triangle
Lake. But once there,
Primrose discovered they
hadn't begun building the
set and applied for work.
Hired to build the
boathouse because of
previous building experience, he worked with 20
other men from 6:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. for nine days,
earning $20 per hour and
plenty of beer. He and the
Los Angeles crew members
worked on a very tight
schedule, commuting each
day to the set from Eugene.
The boathouse began as a
wood frame resting on sup·¼;:;,t~_!,-'l?Wa',,../'.':-·

I,%'{ ~ ~;~;:::/h.'½1.,, ,

Primrose estimates the
one-building set cost
$150,000 for a brief five

minute scene in the finished
movie. Before tearing it
down, film crews used it for
three days and nights to
shoot the movie's climactic
fight between the brothers -in which Woods jumps off
the boathouse steps into the
lake and is rescued by
Garner.

'·'The .Zake they
fish at has a·sixteenth century·
boathouse.
That's what we
had to build._

"Woods watched as
Garner autographed a picture for me. I didn't
remember who he was, and
asked his name. He said

'Jim' and I asked him if he
would take a shot of Garner
and I together. He didn't
mind at all. A few nights ago
Garner was on Johnny Carson saying he'd be upset if
Woods didn't get an Emmy
for his acting in this movie.
Now I'll never forget who he
is."
While Primrose's name
wasn't mentioned in the
movie's credits, an honor
reserved for those working
on all locations, the LCC student appreciated Garner's
compliment to the grip
carpenters for '' doing a great
job on the set.''
The Triangle Lake shoot
wrapped up the filming of
the movie, so Primrose was
unable to visit the other set
locations. But he is glad he
made some unexpected extra
money and documented the
construction process in his
photo album -- along with
treasured shots of Garner
and Woods.

ports in the water, explains
Primrose. Crew members
laid plastic "rocks" over the
frame, painted them black
and then grey to resemble
old, weathered stones. A
''greensman'' brought from
Hollywood, (who created
sets for the science fiction
movie Dune), completed the
authenticity of the set by adding plants. Primrose filled
cracks between the rocks
with moss, planted reeds in
the water around the
boathouse, and cut dead
trees to place around the set.
"I didn't think I'd
recognize anything I'd done
in the movie. But when I

more excited because
everything was coming

from the tone of his

the darkies will take over the

It's true that Americans,
through a conscious,
educated effort, have slowed
down their birth rate. But I
assure you we will not
become extinct, as Mr. Cross
suggests, from population

it will be because of our

•Bye Bye Birdie theme back in vogue

Torelle introduces a modern touch by adding a risque scene
of a mother fainting (with stockings and garter belts flashing
galore), and the use of pantomime dancers silhouetted
behind a large screen.
Foster works double-time on the play, as both
choreographer and as the principal role of Rosie Alvarez.
Although Foster's voice has a scratchy, homegrown quality
that is at times hard to hear, her stage presence and acting/ dancing talents carry the show and win the hearts of the
audience.
Larry Sutton, who has performed as a dancer in many local
productions, plays Albert Peterson, a 32 year old "mamma's
boy" who finally finds the courage to send "mamma" home
and ask Rosie for her hand in marriage. Sutton's style as a
dancer and his brilliant smile on-stage light up the "Put On A
Happy Face" scene, where he cheers up a little girl, played
by Maria Bianchini.
Playing Conrad Birdie, the King of Rock and Roll, Terry
Thiele looks like a rock star. His impersonation of Elvis has all

TORCH Entertainment Editor

As the saying goes, "what goes around comes around."
With song, dance, humor and fabulous sets, LCC Theatre's
sold-out performances of Bye Bye Birdie bring the patriotism
and romance of the 50' s back into vogue in the 80' s.
The musical comedy, which opened Jan. 23 and plays
through Jan. 31, tells the wild story of what happens when
the King of Rock and Roll gets drafted into the army and his
last-kiss send-off turns into a hilarious fiasco on the Ed
Sullivan show, ending in love and romance for all concerned.
Director Patrick Torelle and Choreographer Nicola Foster
have worked well together with Music Director Nathan Cammack to create a fast moving, entertaining version of this
wacky comedy.

the bumps and grinds that historically sent the girls swooning and the parents worrying.
Lyn Burg as Kim MacAfee, the lucky 17 year old chosen to
receive the King's last kiss, carries her own weight, but leaves
no lasting impression.
But the impression left by Judith Roberts as Mrs. Peterson is
lasting. Her "only a mother" attitude towards her son is
uproariously amusing and the nosey insistence of her walkon entrances are well performed.
The chorus of dancers is well rehearsed, but lacks any complicated or intricate dance moves. However, the scene with
Rosie dancing drunk with the Shriners is more advanced.
Foster is an excellent dancer and the choreography of this
scene warrants praise.
Scenic and lighting designer Richard Harris has done an exciting and original job on sets. With a large flashing juke box
above the stage, and bright whimsical colors on the intricate
sets, the action moves easily against a creatively designed
backdrop.
Music director Nathan Cammack leads the orchestra in a
tight, melodic cohesion that never skips a beat, and the mood
of the 50' s is felt by the rhythms of the music throughout the
production.

A .gourmet dinner was
held in' conjunction with
LCC Theatre( s production
of Bye Bye Birdie on Jan. 29,.
Special pre-theatre dirr·ners are presented only
once each term by LCC' s
Culinary, Food Service
apd Hospitality Program.
Crab Seafood Gumbo,
Filet of Beef Richelieu
(named for the famous •
French Cardinal), stuffed
ovenmushrooms,
browned potatoes, braised
lettuce, ga):"den salad and
Hungarian chocolate cake
was the menu created by
Guy Plaa, Lane's gourmet
food instructor from
•
France.
But . the stude.nts
hosted, cooked '' from the
raw ingredients," and
served the meal, says
Willie Kealoha, instructor
and manager of the
Renaissance Room.
This program offers the
students in the Food Service Program practical experience. Students can sit
in a class and study
theory, sa.ys Kealoha, but
these dinners give the participants a chance to
discover the problems and
criticisms that will arise, as
well as the satisfaction and
pleasures of their chosen
C«:1feers before th~y leave
school.
. For those . unfortunate
people who missed th~
pre-theatre -dinner, the
Ren·naissance Room also
serves daily lunches Monday through Thursday
from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30
p.m. The •restaurant is
new
to
dedicated
American cuisine and an
intricate selection of ethnic
foods. Reservations are
preferred.
