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 see ASLCC,. page 4 To LCC students and staff:. In celebration of President's Day, there will be no school on Monday, February 16. : 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 $550,000 for the proposed campus-wide computer networking system as one of the spending priorities for income generated by the levy. "Why is this in the recommendations?" questioned board member Larry Perry. He noted that the board sent the networking proposal to Emergency procedures for for disabled Dynamic basketball action Page 4 Page 9 the Budget Committee at their December meeting and have not yet recieved a report. Perry asked if this to attempt an was "circumvent" the board decision. "This is to show the administration feels the network is a need that won't go away," responded LCC Pres. Turner. The list of spending priorities is only a statement of need, and actual allocation of the funds must be decided by the board, added Turner. The network was listed as a separate item in an attempt to avoid confusion because it is a "controversial subject," added board chairperson Mary Unruh. However, the Steering Committee on Taxation, a group of campus leaders organized by the President to promote support for the levy, has recommended that see Levy, page 10 Make money the easy way Page 5 ~\.~J ~~&-~\$'-,~~ ~~~-..$~~~~l~~~=--~~ v~ ·'C'k.; ~,, ~ 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 forum by Rob Ward ASLCC President 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 never purchase a new car from anyone, and when Merril ' • Lynch talks, I leave. "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, , our Defense D>epartment, ,or the Soviets. -· • •• What scares me .is how ,many people are-_g oingjtO watch this program and believe it is America's future. Don't think people don't believe what they watch on the boob tube. When Robert Young played Marcus Welby, M.D., in the seventies, he would get thousands of letters a week from people asking for medical advice even though he wasn't a real doctor. People write letters to Bill Cosby every week asking how to be the perfect parent. There are even rumors our own State Department tried to hire the "A-Team" to send to Nicaragua until they found out it was just a TV show! ~ 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 see Solution, page 5 EDITOR: Kelli/.

February 13, 1987 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 watch to required "Amerika," or to agree with the ideas it puts forth. Therefore, an intelligent opposition may be able to persuade others not to watch, or perhaps even to boycott the show's sponsors. stud_ents of LCC.

In the last six years, we have seen defense spending soar while witnessing repeated attempts to cut student aid programs. It long has been my belief that our national defense is as dependent upon sound education programs as it is upon weapons systems. although Clearly, be may "Amerika" despicable and fearful, it is not right to seek its cancellation. On the contrary, the proper response is to speak out against the ideas it presents. Joe Ragsdale LCC student Mark Hatfield . responsive To the Editor: Appropriation s Committee for the past six years, I was pleased that the Congress kept valuable education programs intact and fought attempts to place higher education beyond the reach of many middle and lowerincome Americans. In each of those years, Congress appropriated more money, in some years significantly more money, than the (Reagan) Administration had requested. I do not believe that this trend will be reversed this year. My commitment to quality education is total. I will continue to work in the Senate as an advocate for programs which build this nation's defense through the strength that only education can provide. Thank you again for writing. I hope you will continue to share your views with me. Kind regards. Sincerely, Mark O.

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. Val Brown LCC Student and Torch Sports Editor 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.

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.

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: For further reference, consult the Feb.

Lane came out flat from the opening tip and couldn't get themselves back on track the rest of the game. "We had a lot of difficulty the whole game executing . our offense,'' says LCC Coach Dale Bates. Chemeketa is really solid on defense and really took it to us. We've been plagued all year with inept ball handling, had too many turnovers, and we're not a good passing team. This really makes it tough against a team like Chemeketa." LCC went into the locker room at the half trailing by nine, 32-23. They came out in the second half hoping to get back into the game, but never really threatended Chemeketa.

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 Sean Elliot assistant coach Camee LCC center Maryanne Graham goes into aerial acrobatics to Pupke. • score two points. February 13, 1987 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. 'fhis is Loos' second year as head coach of the ·women's basketball team. Before his appointment as head coach, he served two years as assistant to Sue Thompson, who now teaches full-time. The team's accomplishments this season please him. "It's a young team, with only one sophomore. They've really jelled as a proThey've _team. gressed individually, have made the five individuals into a unit," and "have a good shot at making the playoffs," he says. 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. 11 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.

''The project has become a symbol which is detracting from staff support for the levy,'' reads a memo on the committee's recommendations to Turner obtained by the TORCH. When questioned at the board meeting about faculty attitudes regarding the levy, LCCEA Pres. George Alverque promised the board full support. "We need to support this levy for the good of the institution,'' Alvergue told the TORCH. "We need to express our opinion on the network in other ways" than opposing the levy, he said.

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.

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.
