Campus Adult Ed office
nioved to Do-wnto-wn Center
by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Editor

Students taking adult education classes on the LCC main
campus next term may be in for a surprise if they go to the
campus ~dult Ed~cation Office for information or help -- except durmg the first few weeks of each term, that office no
longer exists.
And, according to Cherrill Hemminger, the clerk who
fo~merly staffed the office, the recent change may be a
mistake.
Hemminger, who has worked in the office since 1983, has
been !ra~sfer~d to the LCC Downtown Center, where her job
d~scnphon will be ro_ughly the same. According to her supervisor, Adult Education Office Manager Debra Carroll, the
transfer was made for budget reasons.
"When LCC bought the Downtown Center, we moved
everyone down here. We're just trying to pull the rest of the
staff together," Carroll says. She adds that the Downtown
Center, in addition to other departments on LCC' s main camp~~, can meet t~~ needs the LCC branch office was meeting.
The books will now be sold through the bookstore instead
of the office, and students can pay their fees to Financial Services.''

Voters to decide March 31

Taxes won't increase
under four-year levy

by Muriel Willingham

TORCH Staff Writer

On March 31 -- the first day of Spring Term -- the LCC
Board of Education will ask the taxpayers to approve a serial
levy providing $2.9 million over the next four years.
Taxes would not increase under provisions of the levy,
which affects voters in all of Lane County and in parts of
Linn, Benton, and Douglas Counties.
The money would permit work to begin on a backlog of
rep~irs to butldings and permit the replacement of worn out
eqmpment. ,
According /to a statement released by LCC' s Office of Institutional Advancement, taxpayers have been spending
about $725,d00 each year to pay off the original construction
bonds for building the LCC campus. Those bonds will be
paid off next year.
The proposed levy asks taxpayers to continue providing the
same level of.tax support so the college can maintain facilities
and equipment, protecting the $60 million investment the
community has made in LCC. The owner of a $60,000 home
will continue to pay an estimated $6 per year for four additional years.
Mary Unruh, chair of the LCC Board, says "I feel the community needs to know that all we're asking them to do is to

Bookstore shows slight loss

by Shawn Rude

for the TORCH

For the first time in its
22-year history, LCC's
bookstore failed to break
even last year.
Even though it earned over
$1.2 million in sales

throughout the 1985-86 fiscal
year, by the time expenditures were subtracted, the
store ended up $2,694 in the
red. Past years' profits will
cover the losses, according to

AIDS dangel°s understated
by Lois Grammon

TORCH Associate Editor

A statistic in last week's TORCH article on AIDS and
safe sex practices understated the danger of AIDS.
Sandra Ing, director of Student Health Services, was
quoted as saying that '' around 50 percent of the people
who get AIDS will die from it."
In fact, Ing stresses that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) now estimates that 25-50 percent of all people
who test positive for the AIDS HIV-antibody will
develop the disease within 5-10 years, and, according to
a Communicable Disease Summary report by the
Oregon Health Division, '' most persons with AIDS die
within two years following diagnosis."
As of Jan. 12, 1987, the CDC had recorded 29,435
cases meeting the criteria for AIDS in the US. Of those
patients, 56 percent are known to have died.

the operation.
The effects of the loss
won't be immediately
known, says Jones, and there
isn't much the bookstore can
do to predict or change its
financial status. "Basically, it
comes down to enrollment.
The better the enrollemnt,
the better the success of the
store.''
But Bookstore Manager
Georgia Henrickson adds
that having such a high
percentage of textbooks sales
-- compared to supply sales -makes it difficult to make the
LCC store a profitable
business. "We want to stay
with the needs of the
students, so we keep the sale
of textbooks at a break even
level. We hope that supply
sales profits can cover the
textbook losses. n
In fact, the LCC store's textbook sales make up 85 percent of the sales, while supply sales (items such as

Judgingwomen Iikebeef
forum by Kristine A. Hayes

TORCH Staff Writer

I was recently involved in a competition
where I was judged on my physical ability,
grace, intelligence and knowlege of a subject.
It was a competiton where speaking ability
was vitally important, and having the proper
attire was a virtual requirement for winning.
As a contestant, I paraded around in front of
a judge waiting for a decision and to find out
if I would advance to the next level of competiton.
Was this the Miss USA competition?
Maybe Miss America?
Hardly. I was a contestant in a livestock
showmanship class, where the ability to effectively show an animal is emphasized and
nobody cares if your thighs are cellulite-free
or if you look good in a swimsuit.
Unfortunately, virtue and merit aren't the
desirable characteristics of the beauty competitions held annually in this country.
The Miss USA pageant was on television
recently, and I must admit that I thought it
was a degrading exhibition of feminine flesh.
The swimsuit competition was particularly
insulting, because, as a woman, I think it's
important for this society to get away from
the image of women having to have nonexistant thighs and hips in order to be attractive.
As our contestants in the Miss USA
pageant paraded around on-stage in frenchcut bathing suits, the home audience was
privileged to see the judge's score of the
woman's body.
__What a proud moment i~ must be for the

,

~

... ---. ,

contestant's family. Their beautiful daughter
appearing on national television and having a
score between one and ten flashed on her
bos'o m for all of America to see.
As the pageant continued, the low-scoring
women were eliminated and were then only
visible during the final production number.
The remaining finalists continued to compete
and eventually appeared on-stage in their
swimsuits while an announcer tells the audience their vital statistics.
No, not their goals, ambitions, and
academic records. We learn of height,
weight, and hair color.
What upsets me is the way these women
are judged purely on their physical assets
with no consideration given to their health,
stamina or physical ability. Most of the contestants were abnormally thin for their height
and were lacking the traditional female
characteristics of hips and thighs, yet had
tremendous cleavage and perfect teeth, hair
and skin. If Miss USA is truly the most
beautiful woman in the world, shouldn't
some consideration be given to her muscle
and athletic ability?
Instead of determining the most beautiful
woman in the country simply by how they
look in bathing suits, I propose that we.come
up with some type of standardized scorecard
that will list the requirements of American
beauty. Breakdown the women into parts
and give points if their thighs lack excess
fleshing, their hips have proper bone structure and their chests are built for maximum
capacity. That's what they do in livestock
meat market classes and it might work in the
pageants.

Levy is critical
by Rob Ward

ASLCC President

March 31 is a very critical
day for Lane Community
College. This is the day that
voters will be asked to approve a four year, $2. 9
mil~ion serial le_vy f?~ L~C.
If approved, this levy
would provide funds for the
remodeling and upgrading of
college facilities and equipment; the repair/replacement
of roofs; energy conservation
projects; painting; plumbing;
heating; electrical upgrading;
and
other
necessary
maintenance and repairs of
facilities. The College's tax
base is currently not adequate to finance these needs.
LCC has levied taxes for 20
years to pay off the original
construction bonds. Next
year the college will finally be
paid for. This levy would
continue approximately the
same amount of taxes that is
currently being paid for the
original construction of the
college.
Taxpayers have been paying about $725,000 a year for
the past twenty years. LCC is
simply asking the voters to
continue paying this yearly
rate. An estimated 10 cents
per thousand dollars of
assessed value will be levied.
This means the owner of a
$60,000 home will contine to
pay an estimated $6 a year
for four more years.
It is estimated that Lane
Community College needs
$14. 9 million to upgrade
buildings and replace old
and worn out instructional
equipment to teach and support the instruction of
students. The levy will provide less than one-fourth of
that need.

The solution is more money
by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Editor

LCC needs more money.
Declining enrollment, lower income through FTE, and the depressed state of the economy all contribute
to the budget cuts LCC has had to
contend with for the past several
years.
And many on campus feel that,
after having trimmed off all the
various departments' fat, the cuts are
now hacking into muscle, and, in
some cases, even bone.
At this point, the solution to LCC' s
money problems is not more cuts .
The solution is more money.
LCC will be asking voters for this
much-needed money on March 31, in
Page 2 The Torch

the form of a four-year, $2. 9 million
serial levy.
But the college hasn't passed a tax
base increase or serial levy since
1980. What makes this effort seem
more realistic? The difference is that
LCC isn't asking for any more than
the taxpayer is currently paying.
The college is merely asking taxpayers to continue to pay the same
amount they have been paying.
Besides paying taxes for operating
the college, for the last 20 years, taxpayers have paid the cost of building
the college itself -- their money has
been paying off the original construction bonds. But the construction
bonds will be paid off soon, so. now
the college is merely asking taxpayers

for money to maintain their 20-year
investment.
Homeowners wouldn't invest
thousands of dollars in their homes,
and then sit back and apathetically
watch while their roofs fall-in. They
would be quick to protect their investment before it got to that point.
And hopefully, they'll be just as
quick to protect LCC.
The levied money wouldn't begin
to pay the total amount of all the
maintenance and repairs necessary,
nor would it completely stop the
budget cuts which threaten to whittle
our·campus programs to the bone -but it sure ,would be ,a step in the
right direction .'

LCC has not passea a tax
increase or serial levy of any
kind since 1980. LCC cannot
ask the voters for the total
amount it needs, because our
community is still faced with
economic unknowns. The
Board of Education was wise
to levy the amount currently
being spent on the construction bonds, as this will not
put an additional burden on
rnxpayers.
The money (generated)
from this levy must be used
for the nearly 1,000 equipment and maintenance
needs. It cannot be used for
day-to-day operating expenses such as salaries, supplies, etc.
LCC is known for its high
standard of educational excellence. The voters of LCC' s
district should approve this
four year levy. Then it's up
to the college to provide
voters and taxpayers with
general progress reports on
how the college is doing.

If every student who has
benefited from LCC would
register and vote, we
wouldn't have to wonder
about the outcome. So,
c'mon, students, register
before March 10, and vote
yes on the March 31 ballot for
the LCC serial levy.

misses again?
To the Editor:
Yet again, in response to
Val Brown's column ''The
Left Corner,'' I have to ask,
"Who cares??!"
Come on Kelli J. Ray, take
responsibility for the meaningless, illiterate trash that is
published in this paper
(especially Val's column) and
dump it! I am sure you could
fill the space with something
other than bubblegum,
highschool journalism.
P.S. And Val, please spare
us a response to this letter.
We all know how you love to

LCC student

KVALgolf
was justified
To the Editor:
Why does The TORCH
Sports Editor have such a
deep-seated resentment
against one of the most
popular sports in this country?
Some people view golf as a
game of skill, concentration
and control. Jim McMahon,
quarterback of the 1986
Super Bowl Champions admits, "golf is my favorite
sport. It's the best game of
all, and by far the most difficult I've ever tried." He
also admits that he watches
more golf than football on
television.
Regarding the ''. . . stupid
player profile on a doofy guy
that nobody had ever heard
of" in one of Val's recent columns, I can only say that I'm
sure his adoring fans were
glued to the set, intently
listening to every word he
said.
Some people actively
follow the PGA. And, by the
way, I really doubt that even
the lowest rated network
would refer to their interview
segments as, "Stupid Player
Profiles on Doofy Guys." It
kind of sounds like
something David Letterman
would do, but not a network.
The National Anthem sung
by David Girley would have
been the highlight of the
game for Duck fans, but I've
never seen a Raycom game
televise the song. Having
watched every OSU game
this season that Raycom
televised, I have yet to hear
the National Anthem preempt the Budweiser commercial.
The only way to assure seeing a game in its entirety is to
actually go to the game. I'm •
reasonably sure that a sudden death round of professional golf appearing on national television would take
precedent over a mediocre
game of college basketball
appearing on regional stations. If it's important to
March 6, 1987

catch every second of the
game, buy a ticket and go to
Mac Court.
UCLA is a great basketball
team. Pac-10 champions, in
fact. Must you despise them
because they showed their
athletic superiority at the expense of another team?
Walt Hazzard is a gifted
coach -- one of the few black
coaches in the country. He's
shown minority students
that athletic talent can continue beyond the playing
realm of sports. Should you
despise someone who may
serve as an inspiration for
young athletes?
As for KV AL, it was just
being responsible to the golf
fans in the audience. Would
you want a Duck game in
overtime to be cut short just
because "Star Search" was
scheduled to be on at 3 p.m.?
Why despise a station that
stays with an event until it is
finally finished?
Just because my beloved
Beavers are in a slump, I
don't despise every team
that beats them. Call me

tolerant or level-headed, but
athletes are mere entertainers and should be enjoyed as such, and not
despised for their skills.
Since I can't afford to drive
to Corvallis every week, I
don't get the chance to see
the Beavers play live much. If
I were a Duck fan, though, I
would get a season pass so I
wouldn't be at the disposal
of a television station. That
way, I'd be assured of hearing the National Anthem instead of the equally inspiring
and nationalistic song, ''This
Bud's For You."

Pitney, Perry reelection to LCC
Board of Education unopposed

by Robert Wolfe

TORCH Lead Reporter

LCC Board of Education
members Jim Pitney and
Larry Perry will be running
for re-election unopposed in
the March 31 election.
Board positions are unpaid
and last four years. The
board consists of five positions from zones one
through five, and two atlarge positions, for a total of
seven ·members.
Larry Perry
Perry, a teacher for the
Eugene 4-J school district
since 1968, is running for his
fourth consecutive term in
at-large position. His
qualifications include two
years as chair of the board,
current membership on the
Oregon Education Coordinating Commission Advisory Committee, and four
years as a member of the
Oregon House of Representatives. During that time, he
was co-chair on the Interim
Committee on Education for

Bookstore,

two years, and served on the
School Finance and Education Committee, according to
information supplied by
Perry.
Peny stated that his goal is
to ihclude LCC in any statewide economic development
plan by continuing to provide affordable college
education, according to
statements in a Eugene
Register-Guard article. Perry
notes that LCC could play a
pivotal role in the state's
economic recovery.
Perry also expressed support for maintaining LCC's
reputation for innovation
and a quality faculty. He
placed credit for the school's
success on a high level of
com1;11unity invol~ement, accordmg to the article.

from supply sales go directly
to covering textbook losses,
but with only 15 percent . . .
it's hard to cover the losses ..
By contrast, she points to
the University of Oregon
Bookstore operation. "With
their location they have the
capability of selling TV's and
computers as supply sales,
which helps a lot in covering
losses."
U of O Bookstore Assistant

Manager Bob Spencer says
the ratio of textbook sales to
supply sales is "half and
half,'' . making it less
challenging to break even or
make a profit.
The future of LCC' s store
will be determined in the

President's staff
increase 'sound'

by Lois Grammon

TORCH Associate Editor

"It was not transferring funds from an instructional area,"
and the decision was "sound," believes Larry Perry, LCC
Board of Education member.
Perry was responding to a TORCH inquiry into rumors
concerning a decision made to allocate funds for a new
secretarial position in the President's Office.
''There was little doubt in my mind that there was a need
for more secretarial help in the President's office," says Larry
Perry, LCC Board of Education member.
Because of the excessive workload of some office staff, it
was reasonable to create a new position, Perry believes.
''I think it's important, to consider the amount of work that
is being done by this office; ... but that's not to say it's more
important than any of the other departments," says Larry
Warford, Executive Dean of the Office of the President.
''The President determined that we were in need of an additional secretary, and we tried to fill the position without impacting the rest of the college. A position was vacant in Word
Processing, and we transferred the budget money to the Office of the President." The position in Word Processing was
eliminated.
"We just simply reduced that staff by one. The Word Processing staff now consists of three (data processors) and one
typesetting position," says Warford.
•
The new secretarial position was open to applications from
both LCC and off campus staff, according to Warford. Vickie
Ellison, a data processor at the Downtown Center, was hired.
Ellison is employed as one of the secretarial staff shared by
President Turner and Warford in the President's Office.
Every time Administration has a vacancy, an effort is made
to determine whether or not the position needs to be filled,
adds Warford.
Warford says he can see how some people may misunderstand the decision to transfer funds for the new position from
Word Processing, but adds that the Word Processing position
was vacant at the time. He believes it is a matter of perception, adding that the decision was made to avoid increasing
overall costs.

coverage expires soon, and
there will be continuing expenses, such as remodeling
his house to adapt it to a

pressure of meeting a tight deadline.

any other style of writing,'' said Hopkinson.

maintain the investment they have. The whole community
uses LCC, but we have to have a physical facility for them to
use.''
Funds raised in this serial levy are earmarked for
maintenance and repairs -- roofing, painting, plumbing, wiring and paving, and for replacing outdated and worn-out instructional and support equipment. Levy funds cannot be
spent for operating expenses such as salaries, and supplies.
No new buildings may be constructed with these funds.
Paul Colvin, interim vice president for Administrative Services, says LCC has two categories of needs.
The first category is the repair and maintenance of the existing buildings and equipment. ''Most of our buildings were
built in 1967 and 1968. That means all the cedar shake roofs
are going at once. Eleven need replacing, and only two have
been done so far, he says.
The other area of need Colvin identifies is new equipment.
He says that through the years the school has added
numerous programs, and the changing technology in many
fields requires the up-dating of equipment if students are to
receive the kinds of training that will prepare them for current work situations.
The administration develops a priority list of needs each
year, Colvin says, looking at current needs and trying to anticipate large future expenditures within the next five to 10
years. This identifies equipment and rehabilitation needs that
will cost about $14.7 million. The current levy provides less
than one-fourth the amount required to meet those identified
needs, says Colvin.
Both Colvin and Unruh agree the community's current
economic condition prevents asking for the larger amount of
support. Colvin says, "The $2.9 million gives us a start. It
means we can take care of the most urgent needs.''
Heli:,ing the taxpayers understand the seriousness of LCC' s
needs is crucial to gaining voter support for the levy, as well
as what the college does and how important the school is to
the community.
Director of Institutional Advancement Larry Romine and
his staff have prepared a brochure that will be mailed to
120,000 homes in March. The brochure's questions and
answers explain the school's needs, what the levy would cost
individual taxpayers, and how the money would be spent.
Copies of the brochure are available on campus in the ASLCC
office.
Romine' s office is also coordinating an extensive schedule
of events aimed at helping the community understand LCC' s
needs, including talks to groups throughout the county. LCC
Advocates, a citizen's group, is working with Romine to gain
community support for the levy.
The ASLCC is conducting a varietY. of voter registration and
education activites on campus.

DAILY

Weekly forums on social, political, and environmental
issues are being presented throughout the term by the Friday
Forum club, says Su Boliou, the club's treasurer.
The forums, scheduled every Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.,
have previously been at the Student Resource Center (SRC),
but are now in the cafeteria near the ASLCC bulletin board.
According to Billie Rendal, SRC director, ''Friday Forum is
expanding to the cafeteria downstairs because the number of
people attending the forums is beyond the capacity of the
SRC."
The forums use videos, speakers, and pamphlets to
"facilitate a lively, on-going information exchange ... among
students, faculty, and staff of LCC, and the wider community," says Boliou.
Sponsored through the ASLCC, the club was created as
"the best way to inform other students of the issues," says
Boliou.
Organization of the club is informal, and anyone is invited
to attend the meetings and suggest topics for presentation,
she says.
Past forums have included issues on AIDS, Contra aid to
Nicaragua, problems in El Salvador, and the grape boycott in
California.
Ron Phillips, Vietnam veteran and counselor for The Draft
and Pre-enlistment Counseling Project (TDPCP) presented
video documentaries from the Vietnam War, and read Vietnam veteran war poetry on a past Friday Forum. Phillips
brought a larger-than-life metal sculpture of a soldier from
the TDPCP office in Eugene.
According to Phillips, each documentary averaged 20
viewers throughout the afternoon. "Right now we're bouncing off the energy of Platoon," says Phillips, 'We're trying to
prick the consciousness of America.''
According to Boliou, forums are already scheduled into
Spring Term, including topics about old growth forests in
Oregon, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and
child care concerns.
The club plans to create a resource list for people interested
in particular issues who are unable to find contacts and information. "We will also be working with the ASLCC on the
'Peace on Earth' week in May," says Boliou.
According to Boliou, general meetings are held each
Wednesday at 2 p.m. in the Center Building, Room 480, for
planning and organization of the forums. Informal potlucks,
held at different member's houses, are scheduled on alternate Wednesday evenings. The next potluck is scheduled for
March 11.

Recycling paper benefits
environn1ent and econon1y
by Toby Ten Eyck

for the TORCH

Students and faculty at
LCC could help generate
$1,200 for the ASLCC
without even reaching for
their wallets.
Dave
According to
McElheny, director of the
paper recycling project, the
potential for revenue
through recycling paper has
yet to be fully tapped.
Currently, most of the
money made in the program
comes from recycling computer paper, though any
type of paper except cardboard can be recycled in the
program. Paper is taken from
all of the departments on
campus (except the Financial
Aid Department, as their information is cfassified) and
recycled at North west
Recycling. Northwest Recycling pays $40 to $120 for a ton
of computer paper, depending on the grade.
The recycling program is
the only Work Study program at LCC that generates
money for the college. The
money generated by the program goes into the ASLCC
treasury, funding student activities.

According to McElheny
the biggest problem the program faces is that not enough
people know about it. "They
don't read the TORCH, and
they don't pay enough attention to detail. There are 24
recycling barrels in the
Center Building alone, and
about 50 altogether on campus which are designated to
this program."
McElheny says the program has been going on for
about three years, and brings
in about $50 to $75 a month
to the ASLCC, for a total of
about $600 to $900 a year. ''If
we could get the students
and instructors here at LCC
to become aware of the programs, and help out by putting their used paper in the
designated barrels, we could
easily get $1,200 out of this
program every year.''
The program could also
use some help from students
who have qualified for
Work/Study. McElheny says
he gets help from two other
students on the program,
and there is space for two
more. Interested students
should contact McElheny at
the Student Resource
Center, 747-4501, Ext. 2342.

'Amerika 'judged as .... boring
by Billie Renda!

SRC Director

The SRC Question of the
Week was: What was your
opinion of" Amerika"? Your
replies:
• It's depressing! Why
would you want to watch
something that shows the
commies taking over when
we are trying so hard to
make peace with them?
• Adds to the already
"xeno-phobia" our country
has which, in turn, adds fuel
to impending doom. We
need to get off the selfrighteous trip and get real.
• Too much negativity. All
oppression is wrong -American and Russian.
• Amerika: BORING!!
Unrealistic, stupid, UnAmerican. Just what Russia
wants; more doubts in
American minds.
• Although I couldn't stand
to watch more than a halfhour of the entire Amerika

· series, that was long enough
to form a rather concrete opinion. Most of all, it was just
plain boring, although to
anyone who takes an interest
in prime-time soap operas,
I'm sure it was quite intriguing. The only emotion that
the series provoked in me
was anger. Nothing new,
you understand; it was simply the day-to-day hostility
that I always feel toward
prime-time propaganda.
Anyone who takes ABC's
commercialized representation of the Russians as reality
deserves what they get.
• Of the parts I did watch, I
didn't like it, because of the
message of fear it was trying
to instill: ''The commies are
coming." I feel more of a
threat to America from our
own government and our
capatilistic way of life, which
causes more stress and undue trauma in our own society, than I fear from the Rus-

sians. These are my own
fears, of course, but the
movie was a cheap shot to
divert public attention from
the truth.
• Amerika was not worth
the time it took to watch it. It
had many good points and
brought out patriotic feelings; however, it should not
have ended with the rest to
be continued after seven
days and 14 hours of my
study time. I won't watch the
sequel.
• It sucked.
• Boring.
• Real negative programming.
• I didn't watch it.
• The Christian Right, I'm
sure, loves the shit out of it.
How righteous.
• It was very boring and
put down the UN; very redbaiting.
• Amerika was an excellent, thought-provoking
film. It raised questions, but
left no answers. Questions
raised were: 1) What would it
be,like if America was an occupied country? 2) Is our civil
incompetency our r~al
enemy -- and not the Soviet
Union and the U.N.?
• It was the greatest media
scam of the whole century. It
failed to serve the public interest, convenience and
necessity.

of functions for both instructors and students which she fears
will no longer be carried out; or, at best, will be provided less
effectively. She claims the AE instructors won't have the
same kind of support they had previously.
"Now it will be more difficult for the instructors to check
out audiovisual equipment, (to) get visitor parking permits,
and they won't be c;t,ble to get ahold of anyone right away to
get into their rooms when the rooms are locked. They won't
have as easy access to phones, and it will be more difficult for
them to get progress reports, roll sheets, and evaluation
forms. I also won't be available to take messages for instructors when students are sick," she laments.
"And as for the students, well, if they are confused and
need directions to a class at night, this office won't be
available to help them. It will be more difficult for them to
register if they miss the registration period, and they won't
be able to pay for their GED fees if they come out here at
night."
Sue Kangas, a records clerk in Adult Basic Education for the
past nine years, echoes Hemminger's views. "I have nothing
to do with her department, but I've seen how important that
(the office) window is to students. They come up to the window all the time, and she's been there for them until 8 p.m. I
don't know what they'll do now!"

---------- ---------- ------Hein interns at NPR
by Brian Frishman

for the TORCH

Don Hein, KLCC-FM' s
News and Public Affairs
director, recently produced a
feature story on New Mexico's Governor Arroyo. But
he wasn't in the Forum
Building studios at the time.
Hein was in a production
room at National Public
Radio, in Washington, D.C.
Hein was working with five
other interns selected from
public radio stations across
the country to spend one
month producing news
stories at NPR studios.
The intern program, funded by the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting, was
organized to show local

public news reporters ''how
a full-sized network news
operation works," says
Hein.
''It gave us a chance to see
how, when you have the
staff and the budget, you
cover the news. Basically, it
is not that different from how
we cover things at KLCC. ''
While at NPR, besides his
Arroyo story, Hein produced
15 to 20 stories for the radio
news magazine '' All Things
Considered,'' the two-hour
morning news program
which serves as a model for
KLCC.
"What I really learned at
NPR is how much respect
NPR has for KLCC' s radio
program. Six former KLCC
volunteers now work at
NPR, where salaries begin at
$18,000 a year. We're kind of
the Triple-A farm club for
NPR, '' says Hein.
Hein learned that the majority of NPR' s news leads
come from the newspapers.
"So, I don't feel bad that a
lot of KLCC stories come out
of the Register-Guard and
the Oregonian. Since we are
feature-oriented, we don't
pretend to be 'first' on a
story, but we will take it further than a newspaper.
'' One of the advantages at
NPR is that they have
reporters on regular beats.
But because we have
volunteer reporters, it's very
difficult to maintain people
on a beat." And without an
NPR-sized budget, Hein
won't attempt many major
changes as a result of his internship.
NPR programming is
broadcast on KLCC from 5 to
9 a.m., noon to 12:30 p.m.,
and from 4 to 7 p.m.

Worldwide AIDS call-in ll
by Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writer

America's relative tardiness in fighting AIDS was one of topics discussed Sunday
morning on a BBC program broadcast "live" on K~CC FM.
The program featured a half-hour report on the history of AIDS, current global action to combat the disease, and a "live" international call-in.
Listeners addressed questions to two noted AIDS experts, Dr. Anthony ~inching,
an immunologist at St. Mary's Hospital in London, and Jonathan Mann, Director of
the World Health Organization's (WHO) AIDS Program.
According to a report from WHO, ~,401 people worldwide have AIDS as of
.
February, 1987.
But WHO believes that as many as 100,000 people co1;1ld be suf~ermg fr<?m AIDS
worldwide. As many as five to ten million more may be infected with the virus, and

50 to 100 million could be infected worldwide by 1990.

For a six month commitment of 8 to 12
hours a week, students and community
volunteers can gain practical experience in
radio news and music programming for
public radio station KLCC-FM.
Don Hein, K~CC' s News and Public Affairs director, is looking for students who
qualify for Work/Study positions because
"they can put in good hours really learning
something and get paid for it."
Hein says that after completing the Mass
Communication Department's radio broadcsting curriculum and working as a volunteer
at KLCC, many graduates are prepared to
enter the job market.
One reporter was hired by an Oregon station, and six former volunteers are working
for National Public Radio (NPR) in
Washington, D. C.
Now in its twentieth year, KLCC provides
the community with a broad range of programming. A recent program guide includes
listings from NPR, locally-produced news
and features, Latin music, women's music,
blues, jazz, folk, Jamaican music, and inhouse productions like Northwest Passage
and the noon Blueplate Special.
Volunteer Mary Sando praises the instruction available at KLCC. "You learn with the
most up-to-date information from highly

skilled people who teach and work in the
business. These instructors are not just
•
'bookies.' ''
Although not paid for her time at the station, Sando says, "I feel the 'pay' I'm getting
is the experience -- which you can't put a
price on." Besides co-hosting the 4:30 p.m.
Northwest Passage show, Sando says she
has learned all facets of radio production.
Hein says although he encourages students
to volunteer, most volunteers are community
members. Any student at Lane can become
a volunteer, but being a student at Lane does
not entitle anyone to a spot on the air. Being
good enough," he emphasizes, "entitles a
volunteer a spot on the air.''
Student Patti Kemp agrees. ''KLCC's radio
volunteer program is a golden opportunity
for anyone interested in pursuing a career in
radio." She says the experience at KLCC is
"all what you make of it. They give you a
complete green light and they encourage ambition.''
Erich Boekelheide had previous experience
as a music programmer at KWAX, the U of 0
public radio station, but he says he was able
to "hone his craft while at KLCC."
Anyone interested in more information
about the volunteer program ihould contact
Hein at KLCC, in the Forum Building. Program guides are also available at the station.

• Self-detection of the disease is difficult. If you think you may be at risk to have
contracted AIDS, consult a doctor. Physicians are trained to evaluate what symptoms
. mean. Don't try and do it yourself.
• A single unprotected sexual act with an infected person is sufficient, in some
cases, to transmit the disease.
• While condoms are not 100 percent guaranteed (they do tear or occasionally come
off), proper use will effectively eliminate the transmission of the disease. Spermicides, preferably ones containing Noroxin, in conjuntion with condom use, will
help kill the virus.
The KLCC broadcast drew attention to the international effort to control AIDS, but
the questions go on. Any further inquiries about AIDS or its symptoms can be addressed to Shanti, the AIDS/ ARC support group offering resources and referrals.

Colnr, pattern, texture on the loom
by Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writer

The wooden clacking of the frames is silent
now, but the yarns, criss-crossed in a
brilliance of colors and textures, are evidence
of the artistry created by students in LCC' s
weaving classes.
Taught for the past five years by Instructor
Nancy Hoskins, the classes offer instruction
in beginning, intermediate and advanced
weaving techniques on various sized looms.
The looms overpower a small room in the
Math/ Art building, where 12 to 15 students

loom warping, weave structuring techniques,
and drafting.
Advanced students graduate to the large
floor looms and work on independent or
group projects, which incorporate techniques
already learned with an extensive course on
color theory and analysis.
'Nancy IS very open to our ideas and the
students decide what projects they want to
work on in the advanced classes,'' says student Ona Bake. "I've enrolled in other weaving courses, but Nancy's presentation is, by
far, superior to what I've had before."

Rumors ~cotched' on the spot

Meeting draws 50

by Muriel Willingham

TORCH Staff Writer

''Let's scotch the rumor mill,'' urged LCC history Instructor Milt Madden several times as he guided the year's third
All-Faculty Conference through the agenda Feb. 25.
About 50 instructors and administrators attended the
meeting, many of whom asked questions or made comments
during the noon-hour session.
• Madden asked Vice President for Instruction Jacquelyn
Belcher about the rumored purchase of an expensive table in
her office. She explained that several new pieces were being
built for her office by an LCC woodworking class which needed 2 project: the only cost was to be $600 for materials.
Belcher' s present office furniture is being moved to equip an
office for a newly-hired staff member.
• Madden also posed a question over the rumor about
Belcher' s plans to require all faculty members to attend commencement. "That's not true," she replied.
"Commencement is a celebration, and I want this year's
ceremony to be so great that everyone will want to attend in
the future."
Questions submitted by faculty members prior to the
meeting inquired about the Data Processing Department,
LCC's position on semesters, the Evening College, and proposed new registration methods.
• Belcher said the Fall Term alignment of the Data Processing and Math Departments is probably not costing the school
additional money -- the departments had been separately
run.
Some expenses such, as travel and telephone, are being
more clearly identified and may appear to represent increased cost, she said. Data Processing course offerings are unchanged, she said. Math/DP Chair Tom Reimer reported the
department's faculty is involved in curriculum revision, in
response to changed requirements at the UofO.
• LCC has not yet developed a position on the semester
question, Belcher reported. She said LCC Pres. Richard
Turner has asked that a committee be formed to study the
issue, and expects to involve the faculty in planning during
Spring Term. The final decision will be made by the LCC
Board.
• Several staff members expressed concern about retaining
students who want to drop out of school.
Belcher said, ''The students are our customers and we must
treat them well." She reported that some staff members have
referred discouraged students to the counseling staff, and
others have phoned students, encouraging them to remain in
school.
• Belcher expressed her support for an expanded Evening
College, but said an expansion this year would be ill-timed.
"As far as budget goes, right now I'm being cautious -- and
that says a lot for me." She encouraged individual departments to experiment by offering classes at non-traditional
times, such as late afternoons or Saturdays, provided they

Rain:
The havoc player
and game delayer
by Val Brown

TORCH Sports Editor

Too much can mean disaster. Just enough can bring
relief.
It makes plants grow, and keeps us alive; without it
everything would shrivel up and die.
But mention it to anyone who dons a uniform and
ball shoes,and you might get a look that ... well, let's
say if looks could kill. . . .
It's the worst four-letter word in the English
language.
Rain.
We get a lot of rain here in Oregon, so much that if
your team isn't rained-out by April, you've had a
great spring.
Unlike a- soccer ball, a baseball and a softball
become increasingly difficult to handle once it
becomes wet.
As a former player, I know what it is like to get all
hyped up for a game, only to get dropped to the softball basement. If a game is rained out, that usually
means practicing inside the gym along with tennis,
track, and everyone and his dog.
Inside a gym, people become very fussy about
things like broken windows and scuffed floors,
(although they will hold a dance on the gym floor).
For a coach, the roller coaster experience is even
greater. As an assistant coach, I now deal with 18 to
20 mood swings that the individual team members go
through.
I've tried praying to the weather god, but she isn't
always cooperative. But I've learned to live with it.
Heck, praying can't be all that bad; don't knock the
sun dance unless you've tried it.
Until someone finds a way to control when, where,
and how much rain will fall, can anyone tell me the
best way to stay dry in the wet outdoors?

LCC Men's Track team, the

IV track champions, will try
to make it five straight as
another season gets under
way.
But there are still spots to
fill due to graduation. The
400 meters is one of the
events hit hardest by last
year's graduation.
Pat Lanning, the LCC 400
meter record holder, is gone.
Lanay Crech and David Hunnicutt, the other two 400
meter sprinters, are lost as
well.
But Harland Yriarte, LCC

Richardson of Churchill High
School should help in that
area.
Another weak spot could
be both the high and intermediate hurdles.

of strong areas this season.
Todd Hope looks like Lane's
biggest hope in both the 100
and 200 meters. Hope was a
two-time state champion in
both events at Gold Beach
High School (a double A
school).
Another strong area could
be the 800 meters. Jose Barbosa, the sixth fastest 800

Women tracksters begin season

The Titan Women's Track
Team opens its season Saturday, March 5 in Gresham at
the Linfield Icebreaker meet.
Head Coach Lyndel
Wilken is excited about this
year's squad, and has set a
Northwest regional championship as a team goal.
The Titans boast a veteran

group of throwers, three of
whom scored in last year's
championship meet. "Right
now, they lead the team,''
says Wilken.
Lane will be strong in the
distance events also, claims
Wilken. The Titans have captured the regional cross
country championship for
the past two years. Wilken
expects strong performances

from freshmen Shelli Gray
and Taunya Pieratt in the
long runs.
The sprinters were hit hard
by the fact that only three
returned from last year's
team. Wilken is bouyed by
the obvious talent and potential of the young sprinters,
however. ''We have two
former high school state
champions that will be competing for us this year.''

Titan baseball drops two games in Califomia
by Val Brown

TORCH Sports Editor

The LCC Baseball team
dropped the first of three
games, 10-5, in Susanville,
CA, during non-league action against Lassen College
on March 1 and 2.
After the first four innings,
the Titans were down 3-2.
The Titans made a comeback
attempt in the fifth inning by
scoring two runs on singles
by Don Wolff and Charlie
Keady, along with a fielder's
choice. The Titans scored
again in the eighth inning on

a fielder's choice, but it
wasn't enough to hold off
Lassen.
In game two, the Titan bats
came alive as Wolff singled
Lane off to a good offensive
start in the first inning. Lane
scored three runs in the second inning, with the hot hitting of Tony Tollenaar and
Keady' s RBI double to center
field. Tony Broadous also
doubled off the wall in left
field.
In in the fifth inning, the
Titan bats went to work producing five runs. Tollenaar
singled, Keady hit a RBI double, and Scott Smith went
deep to left field for a tworun homer. Broadous singled
to left field.
Matt Montgomery was on
the mound for 2 2/3 innings.
''He had some control problems, but it was his first
time out,'' commented coach
Bob Foster. Montgomery

gave up three runs and walked nine batters. Kyle Tucker,
who came in to relieve Montgomery, pitched his way out
of a bases-loaded jam, and
then sent the Lassen batters
to the bench in order in the
fourth and fifth innings.
After a run-producing sixth
inning, Lassen took another
victory, 10-8.
In game three, Lane watched the Lassen catcher take a
curve ball to the wall for a
first inning home run. The
Lassen pitching staff kept the
Titan bats quite for three innings.
Lassen did not score for the
rest of the game, and the
Titans bats came back to life
in the eighth inning for two
runs.
"We hit about how I expected we would. Lassen
threw a lot of breaking balls,
and'struck out 13 of us in the
third game.''

stay within their budgets and monitor the new classes
carefully.
• Jack Carter, vice president for Student Services, reported
a committee has been studying and preparing for a new,
telephone registration system.
He says schools which have adopted phone registration
report increased enrollment, fewer drops and adds at the
beginning of a term, and a more evenly distributed workload
for testing and counseling departments.
The estimated cost for the system is $90,000, which would
be partially paid for by charging a fee of $1 to $2 to each student who registers by phone. Surveys done at previous
registrations indicated students are willing to pay the extra
fee to have the convenience of phone registration. Tuition
payments would be charged to VISA, or a bill would be sent
with registration confirmed when payment is received.
• Belcher also reported briefly on the activities of several
on-going faculty committees, and on the follow-up to a student survey regarding class scheduling.

Dinosaurs! are on the Illove
by Beverly Moore

TORCH Entertainment Editor

Grab your camera and a bag of peanuts. It's
time for a trip to the zoo. But watch out for
the animals, because they're the biggest that
have ever walked on earth.
The presentation of Dinosaurs!, at the
Willamette Science and Technology Center
(WISTEC), is an exhibit of six life-like
dinosaurs, built by Dinamation International
of California, showing March 7 through May
31.

Programmed to move, breath, and roar in a
lifelike manner, the dinosaurs, behind a
series of "force fields," are "secure and
non-threatening to even the youngest
viewers.
In addition to the dinosaurs, informational,
hands-on displays about fossil history and
geology are presented. Supplemental
displays and activities were prepared by the
U of O Museum of Natural History and the
Junior League of Eugene, as well as by
WISTEC exhibit designer Paul Volloll) and
his staff.
A multi-media program, "Hour of the
II

Dinosaur," presented by the Lane ESD
Planetarium, shows in conjunction with
Dinosaurs!, and provides an introduction to
the history of our planet, as well as explaining the role played by the dinosaurs.
WISTEC hours during Dinosaurs! are 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday; 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday.
Planetarium shows are offered to the public
at 3 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday; 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Friday; 11 a.m., 1
p.m., 3 p.m., and 7 p.m. on Saturday and
Sunday.
WISTEC and the Lane ESD Planetarium are
closed Mondays.
During spring break, March 21 through 29,
Dinosaurs! is open daily (including Monday),
9 a.m. to 9 p.m., with the planetarium shows
following the weekend schedule.
Admission is $3 for adults, $2.50 for seniors
and college students, and $2 for children ages
3 to 18. Admission to the planetarium show is
$1.50 for adults, and $1 for seniors and
students. WISTEC members are admitted
free.

Foster's dancers have been
rehearsing these routines in
class and in extra rehearsals
at her private dance studio.
In the opinion of Renee
Jones, a dance and music student who has enjoyed participating in past showcases,
the shows are improving.
"The audiences have been
small but enthusiastic, and I
think as the shows get better
the audiences will get bigger."
Weaver
encourages
students to bring their lunches to the showcase.
"However," he warns,
'' they may not bring drinks
