ASH Inc. objects to Night classes ignored request by colleges by Tony DeBates f<>r the TORCH At a time when LCC's enrollment is declining, the college isn't paying enough attention to evening programs, insist many of the eleven members of the resurrected Evening Program Advi~ory Committee (EPAC). And the administrator for evening classes, F. Lynn Richmond, says that past studies indicate a potential student body of 45,000 Lane County residents could be served in the evenings. At the Feb. 5 EPAC meeting, committee members said they need to find a way to gain more support from LCC administrators, particularly the new Vice President for Instruction, Jacquelyn Belcher, who began work last fall. EPAC members don't want to "rock the boat'' or appear to confront the vice president with their opinions at this point. Instead, they intend to invite Belcher to an see Night, page 5 by Lois Grammon TORCH A~soci,lle f-.ditor ASH Inc. has filed a response objecting to a request by LCC and Mount Hood Community College (MHCC) to produce evidence in relation to a lawsuit filed by the colleges against the corporation. On October 27, 1986, LCC and MHCC filed a lawsuit which would force ASH to follow the alleged promises made between it and the colleges, if the suit is upheld in court. However, ASH alleges that the volume of material requested is "unduly burdensome" in an objection filed Jan. 6, 1987 with the Oregon Circuit Court, according to the MHCC Advocate (newspaper) in a Jan. 16 article by David Chambers. ASH also claims the type of evidence is "irrelevant to the issues, ... vague," and would break the "attorney-client privelege." Lawyers for LCC and MHCC then filed a response January 7, 1987 with the same court, holding objections that the requests were "unreasonably burdensome" and "unduly vague.'' The colleges also say they will '' provide all brochures or proposals for the development of student and see ASH Inc., from page 5 by Murie] Willingham l'l WCI { St.1lt \\ ritc'r National Community College Month, first proclaimed in 1986 by President Reagan and Congress, is celebrated during February. LCC is joining in this national celebration by scheduling special events. • On Feb. 20, a team from from the area's print media will face a team from local electronic media in a Celebrity Spelling Bee, at noon in the LCC cafeteria. • The Performing Arts Department's Electronic Music Event on Feb. 27 will feature four daytime clinics as well as an 8 p .m. concert and light show. LCC is a "comprehensive college" offering college-transfer programs and courses, technical and vocational training, community education, specialized counseling, training, and support services. LCC also houses high school completion, which is sometimes not the case with other community colleges. Junior colleges, on the other hand, are usually two-year public and private schools with the purpose of preparing students for upper-division (junior and senior) college work. Vocational and Technical schools are usually limited to job training curricula. According to a packet compiled by Diane Prokop of LCC's Office of Institutional Advancement, LCC is a typical example of the rapid growth of community colleges, junior colleges, and technical/vocationa l schools nationwide. In 1935, 528 two-year colleges enrolled about 130,000 students. By 1986, over 1200 colleges enrolled more than 4.5 million students, or about 38 percent of all college students. The student bodies of two-year colleges differ from those of four-year colleges in many ways: • About two-thirds of the students attend part-time. • Over 80 pecent of all students are employed. • Nearly half of the minority students enrolled in colleges attend two-year schools. • A larger portion of handicapped students are enrolled at two-year colleges than at other colleges. • Two-thirds of these students are 20 years or older.

It seems that the remarks I made about my janitorial skills and the way I clean up the TORCH office, (Feb. 13, 1987), aroused questions and concern about the job the janitorial staff does here on campus. I certainly did not mean to say that the janitors here on campus do not do an ade- quate job. But, there are groups of us who work late and mess up the excellent job they may do. Such is the case here at the TORCH office. The janitors will clean up the office while we are working on the paper and move on to the next task. But what the readers of the TORCH and the janitoral staff don't know about is the mess that accumulates after the office is cleaned. Often someone will bring in chips and dips, that really makes a mess. By the time the paper is ready to go to the press, it looks like a tornado has struck the office. All that work nullified. And it would stay that way, too, if a ·TORCH person did not pick up. My mother would be ashamed of me if I left my room the way the office looks after we get finshed with it. So, to please my mother and to help our campus look great, some of us take the time to pick up the mess that I and my fellow co-workers make on Wednesday and Thursday. I'm not the only person to clean up at the TORCH. We all do our part, as should everyone on campus. _ The janitorial staff do a great job cleaning up after the students of LCC. And the students of LCC should be grateful that we have such a great staff to clean up this campus. Keep up the excellent work. Val Brown LCC Student Amerika viewed as chauvanistic To the Editor: A few words about "Amerika": The beginning was very vague; the movie jumps from one scene to another and is choppy; it follows the usual maledominated story line, with the woman/ artist as temptress and female who gives in to the hard advances of her lover (ie., women love to be hurt); the young dancer's body was objectified by the camera shots of her midsection and crotch while chopping off her head (ie., women are objects). The most important thing to remember is that this is a sly propaganda film supposedly coming from the right wing, and maybe Fundamentalists. Yet, the folks who will ultimately profit from its supposed outcome, Fear and Paranoia, will be the armaments manufacturers and dealers. Yours in peace and love, Joy Bouee' Snack Bar seems gung-ho on meat Lette r camp aign to Congress in the works forum by Rob Ward ASLCC l'rt•sidl'nl I would like to thank all of the students who have signed a Financial Aid Action Committee (FAAC) petition. ASLCC Senator Dan LaMarche presented the petitions, with over 700 signatures, to Representative Peter DeFazio last Tuesday at the Eugene City Council Chambers. It was DeFazio's first public meeting in Eugene after his initial session in Congress. Defazio is very supportive of financial aid for students and promised he will do all he can to see financial aid programs get full funding. But don't relax yet. There is much more to be done. From Feb. 24-26 the ASLCC, in conjunction with FAAC, will embark on a massive letter-writing campaign. From 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. the ASLCC will staff the booth in the main cafeteria entrance. There will be students there to help you write a letter to your representative . Writing a quick, but personal, letter to your representative is an effective way to let your congressperso n know how you feel about a pertinent issue. There are a few basic guidelines a person should know about writing a letter to a representative . The students at the booth will be more than happy to assist you. There will be voter registration cards available at the ASLCC booth, also. It is important for your legislators to know you are a registered voter. If you need help filling out a voter registration card, it will be available at the booth. Lane Community College is asking for a four year serial levy on the March 31 ballot, and two LCC Board of Education members are seeking re-election. Last November the State of Oregon passed a 20 day voter registration cut-off, so if you want to vote in the March 31 elections, you must be registered by March 10. A rally on the capitol steps in Salem is also in the works. CCOSAC, (Community Colleges of Oregon Student Associations and Commissions) our state student association, is sponsoring this rally to alert our legislators to our fears of the proposed financial aid cuts. Each Community College in Oregon will be sending students to the State Capitol. The purpose of the rally is the same as the letter 'w riting campaign. We must convince our legislators that students are not an apathetic bunch. Maintaining acessibility to a higher education is a priority for all of us who would not be attending college right now without financial aid. The rally date will be known by Feb. 24. Ask us for more information. Remember -- Feb. 24-26 in the main entrance to the cafeteria. 1) Sign a petition 2) Register to vote 3) Write a letter to your representative 4) Sign up for the Salem rally. A strong student voice equals strong student power. Acci dent serves as reminder by Kelli J. TOHU I Ed,tnr Ray A picture is worth a thousand words, or so the saying goes. In this case, I'm inclined to agree -- I'm not sure words would paint a picture graphic enough to fully illustrate my point. On Thursday, Feb. 19, Dale Anderson of White City ran a red light while going south through the McVey-30th Ave. intersection. His 1980 -Toyota pickup collided with another Toyota pickup holding two adults and three children. The five in the Toyota were treated for minor injuries at the Eugene Clinic, then released. Anderson was not hurt. I'm glad there weren't any serious injuries -- this time.

When I asked if the vegetable soup had meat in it, they said yes! And what do you think the chili, the pre-made sandwiches, and even the premade salads have in common? Meat!

He insists the solution is to change (re-key) the entire campus, starting with his department, and has written a memo to Vice President for Instruction Jacquee Belcher with that recommendation. According to Kotsakis, Belcher has agreed to forward the plc1n to the President's Cabinet. To control the problem in the meantime, Kotsakis has asked Campus Security to make "personal contact" with anyone in the Mechanic~ or Flight Technology are.1s at night or on vveekends, and to expel anyone without cl permission slip signed c1nd dated by Kotsc1kis himself. He has also requested quotes from several local companies on electronic door <1larm systems. by Robert Wolfe I llf{l 11 I ,•,1d l{q1<1rt,•r Thieves and vandals entering the Flight Technology Building during unauthorized hours, ~ome by means of illicit campus master keys, have stolen or damaged at least $4,000 worth of equipment and tools, claims Mechanics Department Chair Ted Kotsakis. A wood planer and two bc1nd saws have been damaged, and small hand tools have been stolen by persons entering the area during weekend and evening hours, despite cl request for improved security patrols, says Kotsakis. While part of the problem is due to people with legitimate keys who don't understand the rules, the bigger problem is illegaly made keys. "Security for door locks in my area does not exist,'' claims Kotsakis. Gaining entrance by means of uncontrolled master keys that can open any doors on campus, "people are coming in and abusing machines and facilities," he says. "The integrity of the system is not good." Kotsakis claims a master kcv can be made from any standard issue door kev -used at LCC in less than five minutes. "I made-one myself in my nffice," he says, which -- to mc1ke· cl point :_ he · Zach Nathan presented to LCC Pres.

The Student Health Center (SHC), located in Room 126 of the Center Building, offers professional services on -<1 drop-in basis Monday through Friday. The Center is staffed by three community doctors, and in addition by two licensed nurse practitioners and a parttime medical technologist. "One reason I think our level of care is so outstanding," says Sandy Ing, director of SHC, "is the amount of communication our nurses have with the doctors. We have twohour staff meetings each week to keep appraised of what's going on with our clients and staff. Also, our doctors are community professionals who maintain their own practices in addition to working here." Services offered free of charge include first aid for injuries received on or off campus, allergy shots, vision and hearing screening, nutrition counseling, and consultations with doctors or nurses regarding health questions. "The only thing th<1t concerns me is how long it will take" to re-key the college. He admits it would be difficult to finance such c1 project c1ll at once, but feels that the Mechclllics c1rea ~hould take priority because of its evident problem. Security Mc1nc1ger Paul Chase refused to comment on either the proposal to re-key the campus, or on efforts to step up patrols in the Mechanics area, saying "I don't comment on security matters in the public forum_" College, trom page 1 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ It also offers a medical clinic for athletes, and refers dental emergencies to local dentists. Some services require a small fee; complete womans' exam ($15), physicals needed for LCC programs or employment ($15), tuberculin skin test ($2), and lab tests. SHC also offers birth control devices at reduced prices. The $15 charge for a woman's exam includes a physical, pap smear, lab tests, VD testing and birth control method consultation. Appointments are necessary for the hour-long exams. Birth control supplies sold by SHC are diaphragms, birth control pills, foam, condoms and diaphragm jelly. Ing stresses that the SHC maintains confidential records, and doesn't release information without patient approval. "Sometimes it's difficult when concerned parents call after learning their child has been in to see us. They wonder if they should take their child to the doctor themselves, or what kind of care we've given. It's a sticky situation, but we just tell them we can't give out that information, that they'll have to talk to their son or daughter. a average aged student in a two-year college is 23 years old;· and at 8 p.m. the average is 38 years old. • About 40,000 international students attend these colleges, more than one-third of all international students in post-high school education. • About 53 percent of two-year college students are women. Community colleges play a special role in American higher education in several areas. The proportion of associate degrees awarded in occupational/technical areas has increased steadily, from 54 percent in 1974-75, to 65 percent of the 460,000 degrees awarded in 1984-85. Almost all community colleges have established partnerships with business, industry, and the public sector in their areas. Nearly all community colleges offer developmental education classes in reading, writing and math. Between 20 and 30 percent of first-year students take at least one of these classes. Community colleges are especially flexible in working with students who have not yet chosen a major or a career goal. The vast majority of community colleges collaborate with local high schools in a vc1riety of programs. 11 Vegetarian's complaint prompts response by Shawn Rude tmthl' ll1Rlll One vegetarian had a complaint. The LCC Food Service manager listened. Student Debra Del George complained when Food Service employees no longer allowed her to switch potatoes for bacon on the breakfast croissant meal "without paying extra." Del George took the complaint to Food Service Director Bob Tegge. And she says she got "immediate results. 11 Tegge says he wasn't upset about the complaint. "My job is to try and take care of complaints, and see that the students are happy," although he says veg~1.arians are hard to satisfy, since what one vegetarian can eat might not be acceptable to another vegetarian. ''There are too many different February 20, 1987 (preferences) everyone.'' to satisfy Tegge says Food Services probably gets only 10 complaints a year, and most of those are over prices. "Students complain about the prices, but they're as low as they can be for us to have a shot at breaking even." Tegge responded to Del George's complaint by offering her the breakfast both ways -- the croissant with bacon or with potatoes -- at the same price. Del George is happy with the results . However, she says when she first made the request to switch selections, she didn't like the way the workers had treated her. "I felt when I first complained, nobody listened to me. I wish the workers would have been more considerate to my needs. So I ended up taking matters to Tegge." And Del George also thinks the menu needs reviewing. "If Bob is truly concerned with the happiness of the students, he would have an updated nutrition survey on the food. Snack food should be aimed towards health." Tegge says he likes to hear such complaints and suggestions from the students "My door is always open to complaints. I can't guess what the students want." -VOL-VO Owners Take advantage of our FREE Safety Inspection and SPECIAL Write your congressman about .financial aid cu ts What Study-Crazed Students Say About Onsen ----------- - Call for an appointment or just drop by Springfield• 12th & Main• 726-1808 ALL WORK GUARANTEED cJlu YOLYOc5j:,eda{J- call 345-9048 for reservations. 188~ Gorden Ave ..

Intervention in crisis situations is just one of the services offered by the LCC Counseling Center. Human Relations 1 teaches basic communication skills, "which I find a majority of people are lacking,'' says Vail. Eliminating Self-Defeating Behavior focuses on any behavior a student wishes to alter or decrease, and teaches how this goal may be accomplished. Two classes per term are offered in Coping Skills for Stress and Depression. A maximum of 25 people in each class learn how to identify the types of stress and depression they personally encounter, find what situations or behaviors cause them to peak, and once there, how to get back to a manageable level. TORCH Staff Writer ''If a person is in a crisis situation -- emotionally distraught, frightened, discouraged and crying -- they're referred to us," says Betty Vail, counselor and part-time coordinator for the Counseling and Advising Department. "If it's an emergency situation, such as severe despondency, or if they' re on the verge of suicide, we'll go and find them.'' James Painter by Kristine A. Hayes TORCH St,1ff Writer "Care to join me in a hard, rigid, resilient, dimensionally stable, clear thermoplastic polymer molded form containing brewed beans and water?'' While it may not be the most appetizing way to say, "Care to join me in a cup of coffee?" that's exactly what you're consuming if you drink your java in a styrofoam cup. Styrofoam, otherwise known as polystyrene, is a popular substance used to make a number of insulating products, including coffee cups. However there has been some concern over the impact styrofoam cups may have on the environment. All plastic products, including polystyrene, are derived from petroleum and are not biodegradable. The main reason for their continued use is that they are often more durable than equivalent paper products. A large amount of the coffee served on the LCC campus does come in styrofoam cups. In addition to the coffee the cafeteria sells, the Student Resource Center (SRC) and the LCC Women's Center also provide coffee to students in styrofoam cups. One employee at the SRC estimates that over seven gallons of coffee is served each Wednesday when the center provides it at no cost. Most students were not aware of the environmental dangers the styrofoam could cause. When asked why they used styrofoam cups instead of biodegradable paper cups, members of the SRC staff weren't sure. Many students felt that the main advantage came when the cups needed to be disposed of. "They make a funny sound when you crunch them up," and "They crunch down to nothing," were typical responses when coffee drinkers were asked why the) liked styrofoam cups. In his book, Rigid Plastic Foams, T.H. Ferrigno says that polystrene takes several years to degrade, but can be accelerated by high energy radiation and elevated temperatures. If we ever experience a nuclear war, we can rest easy knowing our styrofoam cups are being degraded. z CAMPU S MINISTRY We're here for you. - '\__~, . Hidehiko Suyama's story is different.

They are required to pass the TOEFL with a minimum score of 475 at LCC and 500 at the U of O. The lower test score is another factor that leads many international students to choose LCC over the UofO, says LCC's Admissions Specialist Trudy Parker. "And," she adds, '' students get more personal attention here.'' ''I had to adjust myself to American society," says Linda Halim of Indonesia, who was already at the UofO. While still in Indonesia, Halim had to obtain admission to LCC, get her student visa, and plan the finances for her entire stay in the U.S. A Japanese student adds, "Girls, especially in my country, want to learn a foreign language, and at LCC we can study English and start our college education at the same time.''

An evening college marketing report com- for coordinating evening and weekend activities at both the downtown and main campiled by Richmond refers to a 1979 Compuses. munity Needs Assessment Study which in- ASH Inc., from page 1 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ fa culty housing, " which were given to MHCC and LCC. The lawsuit alleges that ASH Inc. broke contracts that would have allowed the colleges to assume control of the apartment buildings owned and operated by ASH. Pacific Western Bank is included in the suit because it allegedly gave the apartment deeds to ASH Inc. without notifying the colleges. According to papers filed with the court, one intent of the lawsuit is to require continued use of the apartments "for educational purposes for the remaining term of the loans." Another is to ensure that low cost housing will be maintained as planned. Under terms of the original loans, LCC's contract lasted until Dec. 13, 2011, and MHCC's until Oct. 22, 2010. As reported in the Jan. 30 issue of the TORCH, as well as the Jan. 9 issue of the MHCC Advocate, ASH denies that the colleges have a right to the property for a number of reasons. First, ASH claims that the colleges had no legal right to enter into an agreement that would result in their assuming control of the apartments. Second, ASH says that because MHCC and LCC never became co-obligators on the original HUD loans in February 20, 1987 "Learning ability increased with vitamin B_l." . . Faced with an algebra test and an economics quiz m the same day, I was desperate enough to read further when this statement caught my eye in the Nutrition Almanac from McGraw-Hill Book Company (1984). According to the Almanac, a six-week experiment conducted by Dr. Ruth Flinn Harrell found that children from nine to nineteen years of age gained one-fourth more in learning ability when given a vitamin 81 pill each day. B1, or Thiamine, is a water-soluble vitamin that acts as a coenzyme participating in the complex process of. glucose conversion into energy. Known as the 'morale vitamin' because of its relation to a healthy nervous system, thiamine has a beneficial effect on the mental ~ttitude. Loss of inhibitory emotional control, paran01d trends, manic-depression and confusion were helped by thiamine when given to psychiatric patients in an instituiton, the Almanac states. A diet rich in brewer's yeast, wheat germ, blackstrap molasses, and bran will provide the body with adequate thiamine. Individual needs are determined by body weight, and the National Research Council_ reco~mends 0.5 milligram of thiamine per 100 calones daily for all ages. -When it comes to studying for economics, I'll try anything, so off to the drug store I go. 1970 and 1971, the property deeds should not have been given to the colleges. Third, ASH denies that it offered to give the apartments as a gift to MHCC and LCC; since the colleges would have been given the titles if that was the case. Fourth, ASH claims that proposals for transfers were dependent on conditions that the apartments be "debt-free." According to "The Delivery Specialists" ASH, the apartments are not debt-free. In addition, ASH alleges that the case should be dismissed because the col1e g es knew ASH had refinanced its loans with HUD in 1983 and 1984, but did not assert claims at that time. ASH also says that too much time has elapsed between the colleges' alleged knowledge of the refinancing and the suit.

The TORCH Page 5 Men finish league in sixth place ~ ~\._)~ by Sonny Starr for th e TO RC H ~~\ !'he Titan men lost their ,- i nal league game to Mount Spot needs diamond by Val Brown TORCH Sports Editor The other day, while I was pulling onto campus via Eldon Schafer Drive, I happened to spot a vacant space near the flooded baseball field. I'm sure most LCC students and faculty are familiar with the space . Right there is exactly enough room for a backstop, home plate, pitching rubber, and three bases in the infield. There is even enough space for a good-sized outfield. It's really sad that Eugene's fast pitch players have two choices, the U of O or out~of-town, to continue their softball careers in fastpitch . Eugene high schools hold the honor of housing the finest pitchers in the state of Oregon, and many good softball players, but only one local post-high school learning institution which offers softball competition at the collegiate level. You could see the lightbulb pop on above my head. Why not make this a two college/fastpitch town? Why should the University have all the fun? And the talent? Lane has a men's track team, and men's baseball team, but offers women on campus only track for the spring athletic activity. What are we less-than-fleet-footed women to do? I don't fancy throwing a dicus, or a shot put. I'd rather have a softball in one hand and glove on the other. J know, the budget is limited; men's soccer was cut two years ago because of money limitations. This athlete, like most, is an undying optimist, and will always hope that fastpitch will make a comeback, but until then, we always will have slo-pitch. Many of us will not be deprived of our aching arms, bruised shins, and strawberries on our legs! No way . We former fastpitchers love to play softball, and we'll get our fix one way or the other. ..

The Titans finish the Southern Division league with a record of 5-9 and 12-14 in overall play, and sixth in league play. Titans lose in pkiyoffs "We had some very inept play late in the ball game," says Dale Bates, the Titan's head coach. "We missed free throws, had a lot of turnovers, and broke down defensively. ''We let Mount Hood get some easy buckets on us. It's unfortunate, but we just haven't had the drive and competitiveness when the going's tough." LCC had chances to put the game away down the stretch but could not capitialize on the opportunities. With 20 seconds remaining in the game, Pat Bodine missed a one-and~ one opportunity. Lane's good defense shut Mou:nt Hood down, and the Titans got the ball back. But Tony Broadous turned the ball over, giving Mount Hood the chance it needed to shoot the winning basket.
