Lack of communication cited

ASL CC officer terminated

by J. V. Bolkan

for thl' TORCH

Conflict arose over the termination of the
current ASLCC Treasurer during the weekly
ASLCC Senate meeting February 9.
Problems with the budget surfaced early in
the meeting when a request for $108 was approved, depending upon the status of the
budget.
At that point, ASLCC Pres. Rob Ward interrupted the Senate meeting, telling the
members that he needed to talk with
Treasurer Robyn Winters. Winters and Ward
left the room for five minutes. Winters
returned only to retrieve her possessions,
then stormed out of the room.
"Robyn gave me her ve.rbal resignation. I
was hoping she'd resign in front of the
Senate, but I had to ask her outside . . . I
didn't want her to sit through the meeting
thinking everything was alright," says Ward.
"Rob fired me. It doesn't seem right,"
claims Winters. Winters believes Ward lacks
the authority to dismiss her, adding that it's
her impression that he fabricated the resignation because of this.
Ward cited lack of communication as the
prime reason for the '' forced resignation,''
explaining, "We've had no contact from her
in over five weeks. I've left notes on her
door, and never got an answer.''
Ward says that because Winters had no
phone and is taking mainly telecourses, she
is virtually impossible to contact.

Winters claims that the only person that
she hasn't maintained contact with is Ward.
Winters says that Ward is difficult to contact,
and unresponsive to her personal problems.
Winters admits that personal problems are
the reason she's had less time available for
her office. "I'm pregnant, and my boyfriend
was recently in a logging accident," explains
Winters.
Winters produced a memo sent to the
ASLCC from Sally Meadow, Secretary for
Student Activities, recommending changes
in the position of Treasurer. In the memo, the
plame for ineffective budgeting is given to
some "inherent weaknesses" m . the
Treasurer's position.
Winters has not decided whether to
challenge Ward's decision. "He doesn't·want
me there ... I'm bitter, but that doesn't help
'
,me much.''
,' . "I hope Rob knows it'll be his fault if I leave
school," said Winters. The Treasurer'$ position includes a board scholarship wor~h $231
per term. Without the scholarship, Winters

Board approves levy
despite spending conflict
by Robert Wolfe

TORCH Ll'.id Rl'pmll'r

The LCC Board of Education, at their Feb. 12 meeting,
unanimously approved a
motion sending a four-year,
$2. 9 million levy request to
the voters at the March 31
election.
The levy proposal is to continue a $750,000 yearly property tax on district residents
that was originally approved
by voters to finance the construction of LCC. Since the
bonds purchased to finance
college construction will be
paid off this year, no new tax
would result.Most discussion by the
board on the levy centered
on having $550,000 for the
proposed campus-wide computer networking system as
one of the spending priorities
for income generated by the
levy.
"Why is this in the recommendations?" questioned
board member Larry Perry.
He noted that the board sent

"This is to show the administration feels the network is a need that won't go
away," responded LCC
Pres. Turner. The list of
spending priorities is only a
statement of need, and actual
allocation of the funds must
be decided by the board, added Turner.
The network was listed as a
separate item in an attempt
to avoid confusion because it
is a "controversial subject,"
added board chairperson
Mary Unruh.
However, the Steering
Committee on Taxation, a
group of campus leaders
organized by the President to
promote support for the
levy, has recommended that

A possible solution: Real exchanges about computer plans
forum by Robert Wolfe
LCC student

The controversy over the
administration's proposal to
buy a computer networking
system for top level administrators is needlessly out
of hand. A basically
reasonable idea is being used
for a "test of wills" between
campus groups. It's time to
stop the rhetoric and
miscommunication and work
towards a solution.
The Board of Education
originally budgeted $30,000
for computers for administrators. While developing the proposal, the ad-

about other aspects of the
subject.

ministration decided that the
proposal should expand to
include a network for the Administration Building that·
would allow the computer
users to talk to each other as
well as the mainframe computer. This expanded plan
would cost about $96,000.

One problem is the lack of
attention to the principles of
participatory management.
Some campus groups were
not consulted about the expansion plan. While it is true
that the administration does
not need faculty permission,
as recently pointed out by
Larry Warford at the AllFaculty Conference, it makes
sense to include the faculty if
its support is desired.

After that, goes the plan,
the network can be expanded
to include the entire college,
at an estimated final cost of
$550,000.
Ge~erally, people I have
spoken to agree that administrative computers are
needed. But they are upset

Another problem is the expense. It is quite hard to
justify such a large expense

as a new computer network,
of a possible total final cost of
over $550,000, when departments are being asked to
reserve 5 percent of their
budgets because of a projected shortfall this year.
Also, many feel there are
alternatives to buying the
whole package at once, such
as modifying the mainframe
to accomodate remote terminals, hiring a programmer
to make the mainframe more
accessible, or starting off
with a few computers and
building up over time.
Still another area of con-

Use your head instead of television

I'm not going to watch ABC's television broadcast of
"Amerika" next week. I personally don't care if others watch
it or not. I don't watch any TV programs in which I have to
tune in seven days in a row.
But the sponsors don't mind. I don't shop at Safeway, I will

"Amerika" is the story of the United States, 10 years in the
future, and what life would be like under the domination of
foreign troops. I don't know who wrote the script, but
chances are, they know nothing about history, _foreign policy,

What scares me .is how ,many people are-_g oingjtO watch this

Robert Young played Marcus Welby, M.D., in the seventies,
he would get thousands of letters a week from people asking

People write letters to Bill Cosby every week asking how to

Department tried to hire the "A-Team" to send to Nicaragua

~

Television should be one of the greatest inventions in the
history of humankind. Instead, the vast majority of TV programming is garbage. That should be an insult to everyone
who watches TV. There are a few good programs on, such as
the ones on PBS. LCC offers many fine telecourses on
televison. I believe that TV should be used for education.
The network news is an example of the joke of TV. The
three networks fight for the Nielson Ratings each week,
when in reality there is no difference in the three networks'
news. There should be alternative news shows on TV, just
like there are alternative newspapers. The Guardian,
Worker's World, and The Progressive are national publications that give one a different perspective of the news on a
national level.
' Eugene has··a wealth •of alternative news sources if you
don't, always think The Register-Guard is giving it to you
straight. But they all cost money to produce. And it's cheaper
to print a newspaper than to buy a network.
There is more information on the front and back of a
newspaper than in a hour of television news. Too bad the majority of the people depend on Dan, Tom, or Peter for their
news.
For more information, turn off your TV, open your eyes,
and use your head for a change!

Public and private information
confused on campus

by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Editor

No one likes having someone point
out his or her mistakes. I realize that.
In this case, however, it's my job.
Confusion over what information
should be public and what should be
private is an ongoing problem on this
campus.
One example of this involves information which should be public, according to Oregon's Open Records
laws, yet so far, isn't.
For over two weeks, one of the
TORCH reporters has been trying to
write a follow-up story on the promotions of Marie Reid and Larry Warford.
But when she asked for information, she got the feeling she was get- .
ting the run-around.
This feeling intensified as she pursued her assignment, and the more
the reporter was "stonewalled," the
more curious we became. At that
point, we changed the theme of the
assignment.

Because she was asked to clarify
what information she needed, she
asked specifically what staff changes
had been made since July, 1985,
within the Office of the President -like promotions, raises, hiring, and
firing.
After more than two weeks, we still
don't have any answers.
But, from what I understand, it's
legally on the '' public record.''
There also seems to be some confusion about which topics can legally be
discussed in Executive Session
meetings, and which can't.

One of the topics that Pres. Richard
Turner and the LCC Board of Education decided to discuss at the Feb. 11
Executive Session meeting was
whether or not it's proper for the
TORCH to print advertisements selling condoms.
There are two problems with this.
First, as Turner pointed out,
TORCH editorial decisions are made
by the TORCH editors, not by the

college administration or the board.
If someone disapproves of the
paper's content, I'm available to
listen. Complaints needn't be taken
to the college president -- or a school
board meeting -- if the person is really trying to be effective.
Second, discussing that particular
topic during Executive Session is flatly illegal.
Topics discussed during nonpublic board sessions may legally include property acquisition, matters
under litigation, laoor negotiations,
personnel matters, and matters of
public emergency, health, or safety.
TORCH advertising policy doesn't
fall under those categories.
Nor does the discussion of reporter
Robert Wolfe's article on LCC's Allfaculty Conference, which followed
the condom ad debate.
In the future, let's try not to confuse public and private information.
Personally, I'd rather write about
something else.

cern is the attempt to link the
entire $550,000 system to the
upcoming levy election. It is
also a poor idea to ask the
faculty to support the levy
when some of the money
would be used for the computer network, which does
not currently enjoy much
faculty support at all. More
than one politically active
faculty member has told me
that he or she would actually
work to defeat the levy if the
administration continues to
connect the levy to the computer purchase.
I believe there is a way to
salvage this proposal, and
still maintain political
decorum for all involved.
The Board, seat of final
authority, should consider
appointing a committee with
faculty, student, and administrative members to
research the plan and make
reccomendations. This group
might do well to consult with
an outside computer expert
to determine the least expensive option that would perform all of the activities needed. This group might investigate the . ideas of a
phased-in system, and the
alternatives involving the

TV censorship
unacceptable
To the Editor:
David P. Bartlett's letter to
the editor (1-30-87) was inco here n t and almost
unintelligible. However, he
did make a statement that I
agree with. He said, "The
issue here is one of censorship." He is correct. Seeking
the cancellation of the TV
series, "Amerika," is not a
realistic response.
There must be universal
freedom of expression. If
"Amerika" were cancelled
because of public protest,
then movies such as ''The
Day After" might never be
shown either. This would
mean that whomever is in
• power would control the
media (which is arguably the
case in the United States,
anyway), and people would
have no choices. But if there
is freedom of expression,
there can be free choice.
A more realistic way to respond to "Amerika' is to
speak intelligently in opposition. Everyone has the right
and the ability to make his or
her own choices. No one is

To the Editor:
I would like to comment on
Pete Hodson' s Letter to the
Sports Editor in last week's
TORCH.
Hodson wanted to know,
"where the hell do you get
off attacki~g Kristine Hayes'
forum ...
I think I struck a nerve.
obviously
Hodson,
disgruntled by the Left Corner in the Jan. 30 issue, missed my point completely.
I would like to point out
that, contrary to Hodson' s
accusation, my job as Sports
Editor gives me no advantage over Kristine Hayes.
Hayes, a TORCH staff
writer, uses the Forum as an
avenue of expression, just as
Hodson used the Letters section. And I use my Left Corner as Editorial space, similar
to Editor Kelli J. Ray's space
on page two.
Editorial space, just like
space on page two, is a place
for me -- the Sports Editor -- .
to comment on subjects concerning athletics, here at
LCC and elsewhere.
As for the complaint about
subject matter and timing,
what could be more appropriate than commenting
on a subject brought up in a
previous week's paper,
especially a subject concern-

If Hodson had really read
Hayes' forum, he may have
picked up on how belittled
Hayes felt about her high
school days.
And Hayes and I aren't
strangers. Not only is she a
TORCH staff writer, but we
also sat in the same
N ewswriting class last fall.

I brought up women's
athletics to prove a point to
Hayes and the readers of the
TORCH: If Hayes thinks
athletics are unfair to
inclined
academicall y
students, she should try participating in sports and studying her way through high
school or college.
I said, "there are no professional teams for women."
This means that there are no
real post-college opportunities for women to continue their athletic careers.
And I see no reason at all to
apoligize for saying that.
Hodson really showed his
ignorance when he recommended me for a janitorial
job. Doesn't he know I really
work two TORCH posts?
After all, I pick up after the
rest of the staff regularly, and
the office would look like a
pig-sty if I weren't around.
Keep this in mind, Hodson: Anything I set my mind
to do, I do thoroughly and
very well.

Is Reagan
really credible
To the Editor:
In response to Larry Harris' letter to the Editor
(Torch, February 6), I would
like to present the other side
of the argument. As a
resposible citizen, how can
you not question the president's performance ever?
How has Reagan shown
credibility for his actions? By
saying he wasn't aware of
what the remaining part of
the administration was doing?
Moreover, Reagan, as the
leader of the country, must
listen to the people. Governments are established to
unite the opinion of the people and to bring order of
some degree. Our student
body president, Rob Ward,
in his last forum (TORCH,
February 6) agrees that
Reagan hasn't been·listening•
to the actual voice of'
America. Do you suppose,
for example, that many
needy college students propose we get rid of work
study or even cut back on
other financial aid? No! What"
are they supposed to do?
Taking out high interest
loans would result in extensive debts for graduating
students. How can they own
homes, educate their
children and pay taxes some
day?
As our world progresses
toward a higher level of intelligence, more emphasis is
needed on upgrading our
educational system. Without
financial aid to assist them,
many people will remain in
the lower-income bracket or
even on welfare. If all
students were to take on jobs
to try to completely finance
their own education, I doubt
our job market could absorb
them (especially in Oregon).
Education is just one of the
subjects Reagan has been
misinterpretin g. It is time to
listen again. Let us
Americans catch up with
other (European) countries
on education, not on bombs.

Emergency training to help disabled
by Robert Wolfe
TORCH Lead Reporter

Mandatory training for all
staff members in emergency .
procedures involving handicapped people is the goal
of the Disabled Student Services Committee, according
to Co-chair Victor Jordan.
The committee was formed
at the Oct. 20 meeting of the
ASLCC. The committee is
chaired jointly by ASLCC
Senators Jordan and Heidi
Von Ravensburg, who is
blind. Dolores May, coordinator for the "oisabled
Students Services office is
the staff advisor to the sevenmember group. A club for
disabled students was also
formed.
The training is required to
insure the safety of handicapped persons during
fires or other emergencies,
says Jordan.
Persuant to their goal, the
committee has drafted a letter to the administration
demanding training for staff
people on proper emergency
procedures for handicapped.
No response to the demand
has been received.
Of particular concern to the
committee are the basement
and third and fourth floors of
the Center building. The
Center is the only multi-level
building on campus without
handicapped - accessible
escap_e routes, says Jordan.
''There are students here
whose lives are in danger.
When those alarms go off, it
means get the hell out. But
procedure calls for the
elevators to be brought to the
second floor and turned off,''
trapping people who cannot

negotiate the stairs, says Jordan.
There is a policy in place
for such emergencies, but the
committee feels staff
members are not aware of it.

• $400 for the Cultural
Director's budget, for the
purpose of enhancing the
Performing Arts Department's upcoming electronic
music production.

"I was here three or four
years before I was aware of
any policy," points out Cochair Von Rave~nsburg.
May agrees that the problem is awareness. "There
has been training in the past,
but people tend to forget
what they learned,'' says
May.
The Disabled Student Ser. vices offered training last
year, but only two departments expressed any interest, she says.

Saying that they have no
meaningful participation in
setting instructor workloads,
they asked the Board to address ~ome workload inequities.

"We are not here to
negotiate
with
you;
(however), we want the
Board to reject a unilateral
agreement'' of the instruc-

Board.

Although 80 percent or
more of the faculty feel the
current workloads are not a
serious problem, according
to Alvergue, LCC is the only
college in Oregon "where
workloads are open to adjustment with no faculty input." Inequities do exist, he

morale."
Al vergue sited "an
historical aberration" in collective
bargaining
agreements as a reason for
uneven workloads.
The delegation provided
the Board with a workload
comparison chart for Oregon
community colleges, and
said the biggest problems at
LCC are in the High School
Completion Program (HSC),
Adult Basic Education (ABE),
English as a Second
Language (ESL), and
Cooperative Work Experience (CWE). Instructors
from each of those departmen ts accompanied the
delegation to speak to at the
Board meeting.
Board member Larry Perry
speculated that the departments mentioned have "less
clout, and therefore very different (workload) standards.''
He asked for the administration to assess the
workload and pay in the
"stepchild" programs, siting
a need to ''know clearly what
is needed to bring about
equity.''
The Board set a May 1
checkpoint to assess and
report back on workloads in
all instructional departments
and programs.

yourself
with herbal bath
by Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writer

Sprucing up for that special Valentine? A luxurious
herbal bath could be the ticket for smooth, soft skin
while releasing tension and minor aches.
Baths are mentioned throughout history in a myriad
of ways, from the Romans' use of the bath as a medical
treatment to Cleopatra's horse milk baths to smooth and
soften her skin.
Marie Antoinette preferred wild thyme and marjoram
steeped in buttermilk; Mary, Queen of Scots, chose red
wine; and Catherine the Great and Madame de Pompadour both soaked in herbal baths.
, If soaking in a tub of wine or horse milk doesn't appeal to you, try some of the following suggestions to
spice up your bath time.
• One cup of vinegar relieves aching muscles and
restores the skin's acid mantle. It also calms itchy, dry
skin.
• A teaspoon of dry mustard soothes muscles and
stimulates sluggish circulation.
• A sponge made from cheesecloth and filled with uncooked oatmeal, bran and rosemary can be rubbed over
the body to remove dead cells.
• Herbs create an aromatic bath and appealing environment. Make a bag of cheesecloth, add herbs and
string it from the faucet, letting water pass through it.
Select herbs according to the effect desired.
• Basil, bay, fennel, lavender, lemon verbena, mint,
rosemary, sage, and thyme all provide a stimulating effect. For relaxation, try chamomile and jasmine. Comfrey, marigold and yarrow promise a soothing soak,
while blackberry leaves, nettle and eucalyptus rejuvenate dragging bodies.
Before taking the piunge, remember that hot water
(over 95 degrees) is drying to the skin. Keep water
temperature between 90 and 95 degrees for comfort,
and apply a rich body emollient as an added protection
against dry skin after bathing:

with their father. When the
Titans have weekend practices and home games, Loos
brings the girls with him.
Loos recalls, "At first I
wasn't sure how it would
work to bring them, but people have been really great
about helping me take care of
them.''

Dave Loos and his daughters Summer, 5, and
spend time together on and off the court.
by Muriel Willingham

TORCH Staff Writer

When Dave Loos isn't
coaching the LCC women's
basketball team, he's busy
with other, very different,
parts of his life -- being a
father, river guide, and
photographer, and working

at the North Bank restaurant.
He combines some of these
roles in a way LCC basketball
fans have come to enjoy.
Loos has two daughters,
Summer, age five, and
Casey, age three. The girls
live with their mother during
the week, and spend Satur-

The girls obviously love being part of the action, and
getting into the spirit of the
games. Summer sometimes
runs out on the floor, while
Casey is more likely to stay
on the bench to watch the action.
Loos says he isn't pushing
them to pick up basketball
skills because "I want them
to pick it up on their own."
He's encouraging their interest, though, by setting a
big basket on the floor at
home. The girls make a game
of tossing balls into it, and as
their skills develop he moves
the basket higher above the
floor.

Lane women let lead slip away
by J. V. Bolkan
for the TORCH

The Titan women let their
half-time lead slip away and
lost the game to visiting
Chemeketa on Saturday,
Feb. 7.
The Chiefs outscored Lane
39-14 in the second half to
capture a 56-38 league victory. ''They have a good
bench and big girls, (and)
once the momentum went
their way it was real tough,''
says Lane coach Dave Loos.
Lane was able to utilize its
quickness in the first half to
offset the huge height advantage Chemeketa enjoyed.
Using an unconventional
triangle-and-two defense,
the Titans were able to
stymie the Chemeketa offense by forcing a low
percentage of outside shots.
During the first four
minutes of the second half,
Lane was able to maintain its
lead. But successive turnovers by the Titans led to
four quick baskets by
Chemeketa.
Lane sophomore Nicki
Essman explained, ''They
just kept getting pumped,
and we kept going down.''
Fatigue was a major factor
in the second half. Four
Chemeketa six-footers took
turns wearing down the
shorter Titans.
''It was very frustrating for
the girls; they got tired, and
they were just inches short of
getting to the rebounds in
the second half,'' said Lane

Summer and Casey also
share their father's river activities. He enjoys guiding
trips on Oregon's rivers, expecially the McKenzie, which
he describes as ''having a little bit of everything, from flat
water to white.'' He finds
photography and river
guiding a natural combination.
Last summer Loos took his
daughters on their first river
trip, in a 14-foot motorboat.
Summer obviously had a
good time, moving around in
the boat and chattering.
Loos was concerned about
Casey, though. She sat quietly during the trip, said little,
and seemed withdrawn.
However, when the boat
docked, Casey refused to get
out. "Let's go again!" she
urged.
Knowing their enthusiasm,
Loos is looking forward to
taking the girls on longer
trips this summer.

Only six players are left on
the team after two key
players were lost early in the
season, so he's especially
proud of their achievements.
After that happened, the
other kids picked up the
slack," he reports.

The final games of the
season will be important
ones, because LCC' s opponents will be the top three
teams in the league.
Summer and Casey are
sure to be on the bench,
cheering the team on.

Letter campa ign commences
by Toby Ten Eyck
for the TORCH

An LCC student committee -- along with
similar student groups from the other 13
Oregon community colleges -- has begun a
letter campaign to persuade congress to leave
federal student financial aid programs intact.
Otherwise, if Reagans's proposals are approved, every college and college student
will feel the pinch, says ASLCC Sen. Dan
LaMarche.
LaMarche, who is also the chairman of the
LCC Financial Aid Action Committee, says
3,500 to 4,000 of LCC' s students currently
receive financial aid from the federal government. He says if Reagan makes the proposed
financial aid funding cuts in the budget for
1987-88, every student will be touched in
some way.
LaMarche speculates the cuts would force
some students to drop out of school, which,
in turn, would lower LCC's enrollment. He
predicts a resulting boost in tuition costs for

those students who do stay in school.
In order to stop the cuts, LaMarche says the
ASLCC has joined with the Community Colleges of Oregon Student Associations and
Commissions (CCOSAC) to start a campaign
asking students to either sign a petition or
write letters to Reagan, as well as to their
representatives, expressing their feelings on
the proposed cuts.
'' A letter makes you a real person, not just
a statistic. When a government leader gets
letters, he or she knows that people are con- cerned," says LaMarche. "Our number-one
goal is to protect the students' accessibility
(to education.) The best way to do that is with
a letter-writing campaign.''
The FAAC Comittee hopes to get at least
2,000 signatures and over 100 letters written
with this campaign. If students are interested, they can get information from the
Student Resource Center (SRC) on the second floor of the Center Building, or the SRC
information booth in the cafeteria between 10
a.m. and 1 p.m. during the week.

Pigeon problem relocated
by Paul W. Harvey IV

sightly and obnoxious smelling droppings accumulate
around the entrances below.
He says acids in the bird excrement also etch into the cement and corrode metal,
which, if left unchecked,
could be costly to repair.
Adding to the problem,
says Wienecke, are insects -particularly mites that live as
parasites on the pigeons -which have infested parts of
LCC buildings. Grounds
workers have already
fumigated some of the rooms
on the • fourth floor of the
Center Building to control
the insects.
But wasps and spiders,
which feed on the mites,
have also been attracted to
the area, posing additional

TORCH Staff Writer

Because rubber snakes and
wire screens haven't kept the
50 to 80 pigeons away from
LCC buildings, the college is
now attempting to rid the
campus permanently of the
birds, their corroding excrement, and their accompanying pests.
Dave Wienecke, assistant
director of Campus Services,
says the college will pay
Orkin Pest Control to capture
and relocate the pigeons
through a unique program of
live trapping.
Wienecke says the pigeons
have posed a problem for the
past two or three years. Congregating on top of the
Center Building, their un-

problems. LCC workers have
treated for spiders and will
do so for the wasps, as well.
LCC workers have installed wire screens along the
edges of buildings to preve. tt
the pigeons from roosting.
And there was also a time
when they placed rubber
snakes on the roofs in an attempt to scare off the birds.
The college reports that these
efforts failed, for the most
part. The birds remained.
Now Orkin will catch the
birds in traps that have plenty of food in them, give them
what Wienecke claims will be
a thorough medical check,
band, and then "relocate"
the birds at wildlife refuges.
Some will be taken to cities in
Calfornia where there is a demand for them for aesthetic
reasons.
Workers from Orkin began
trapping the estimated 50-80
birds on Feb. 4. According to
the contract, Orkin will continue until all the pigeons are
removed, at a cost of $600 to
LCC.
Wienecke told the TORCH
that the Audobon Society
has given the current program of relocation its
"blessing," and Campus
Services is both proud and
enthusiastic about it. 'It's an
answer for everybody. It
meets everyone's needs," he
concludes.
