Nicaragua n people
caught in tug-of-war
by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Editor

The Contras vs. the Sandinistas. These groups are fighting
for control of war-torn Nicaragua, one of them with US funding. Yet, although we hear bits and pieces about this war,
how much do we really know about it -- and US involvement
in it?
The $100 million approved by Congress is only the lid on
the garbage can when it comes to the funding the US provides the Contras. Secretly, the CIA and Pentagon are providing much more, as brought to light in the Irangate Contra
scandal, says Pam Fitzpatrick, regional coordinator of
Witness For Peace, a non-profit organization dedicated to
sharing information about Nicaragua.
Fitzpatrick, who spoke in the Center Building on April 3,
says that by funding the Contras, "people in the US are
deciding who is going to live and who is going to die in
Nicaragua, without even knowing where the country is," or
any of its history.
Located in Central America and about the size of Oregon
with about half the population, Nicaragua is made up of
several tribes of indians, including the Sumo, the Rama, and
the Miskito. The country's problems began in the 1500s,
when the English invaded Nicaragua from the Pacific Coast,
and the Spanish landed on the Atlantic Coast.
"The English enslaved the natives, took the wealth back to
England, and set up plantations. Then they gave the Miskitos
guns to guard the plantations and wealth from the Spanish
side, and to keep the Spanish on 'their' side," of the country,
says Fitzpatrick.
In the 1850s, William Walker came into the confusion, landing on the Pacific Coast side, then "declared himself presisee Nicaragua, page 7

Despite budget reductions already in effect,
LCC Pres. Richard Turner
is instituting a collegewide spending freeze in
an effort to alleviate
budget problems in the
1987-88 fiscal year, says a
memo sent to all LCC staff
on April 10.
The freeze includes "a
moratorium on filling vacant positions,'' and is effective immediately, the
memo says.

Why did the LCC administration stall in
providing the LCC Education Association
with the names of 27 faculty members whose
positions may be eliminated next year -- and
why does it appear that positions held by
other college employees are untouched?
In response to complaints by the LCCEA
that the college delayed in announcing the
names of faculty who may be laid off, the administration admits it knew the names, but
interpreted the contract to mean that it
wasn't necessary to disclose the names at
that time (last month).
After LCCEA protested, the administration
'' felt that if it was that big of an issue with the
association, that we'd go ahead and provide
(the names) without conceding that we were
contractually obligated to do so," says Lon
Mills, acting director of Employee Relations.
The college also wanted to avoid '' creating
unnecessary anxiety by giving names, when
the budget picture may change," says Mills.

LCCEA Pres. George Alvergue claimed last
week that the faculty was ''taking the brunt''
of the Reduction In Force (RIF), because all
names released for the proposed retrenchment so far have been from the LCC faculty,
which includes instructors, counselors, and
librarians.
The reason, says acting Director of
Employee Relations Lon Mills, is due to
dissimilarities in the contracts of classified
(non-teaching support) staff and the faculty.
The two contracts require different approaches, says Mills. The college administrators are not organized as a union,
and do not have the same types of written
contracts.
''If you look at the classified contract, it has
a totally different set of timelines and procedures'' in determining and then announcing the names of people who may be laid off,
Mills says.
The administration "will not deviate from

Part-time security provides full-time relief
by Rob Ward

ASLCC President

Lane Community College should reconsider the recent decision to eliminate
the security position at the Downtown Center (OTC). If a threatening situation occurs, the Eugene Police must be called for assistance.
For the past two years, the OTC has had a part-time security person working at nights and on Saturdays. But with the recent five percent budget reduction, and perhaps because the college feels there isn't a need, the security
position was terminated.
It's true, there probably hasn't been any life-threatening situations at the
OTC. But there is the problem of perceived threat. I'm sure the students and
the employees would feel safer knowing there is someone in the building to
help, should the need arise. And a safe environment is certainly beneficial for
staff and students.
It's true that the OTC is a public building. Anyone can go in and come out
as they please. But the downtown mall is a great place for undesirables. And
the OTC is right on the mall. Some people are easily intimidated, and while
employees don't have the right to ask someone to leave, neither is it their
responsibility to play policeman.

Often we' re confronted by
cultural challenges within
our society. We claim concession of races, religions, and
sexes. Why not homosexuality? These are grievous
cultural issues, yet how are
we to choose without being
prejudiced or ethnocentric?
Anthropologist John W.
Bennett and sociologist
Melvin M. Tumin have
outlined six functional prerequisites of a society:
1. maintain the biological
function of the group
members; 2. reproduce new
members for the group; 3.

socialize new members into
functioning adults 4. produce goods and services
necessary to life; 5. maintain
order within the group, and
between itself and outsiders;
and 6. define the "meaning
of life'' and maintain the
motivation to survive and
engage in the activities
necessary for survival.
E. Adamson Hoebel stated,
'' societies that invent and do
not control lethal customs are
doomed.'' Disinguishing
socially lethal customs as
such without bias, is critical.
To tolerate a given trait,
like homosexuality, we must
first ask ourselves -- is this
culture healthy, does it
reproduce itself, do its

America: sacrificing values

TORCH Editor

Although we' re lulled into believing we're living during a time of
peace and acting as a peace-keeping
country world-wide, the US has its
fingers -- and in some cases, fists -- in
a number of wars across the globe.
Most of these wars are between
people who live in Third World countries, and most of our policies
towards these people are guided by
our capitalistic standards -- not our
moral standards.
In Nicaragua, the US is funding the
Contras to destabilize the country
and wage war on the Sandinistas,
members of a Nicaraguan political
group also called the National Liberation Front, dedicated to regaining
control of their own country.
The Contras "destabilize" the
country by attacking grain storage
facilities and medical clinics, raping,
torturing and killing Nicaraguan
families, and kidnapping the young
boys for re-education so they can
Page 2 The TORCH

In addition to a harassment problem, the building and equipment are
vulnerable to potential theft or damage. There are a lot of computers,
printers, and other valuables at the Downtown Center. Some of it is chained
down, some of it isn't. While it might be far-fetched to believe anyone would
try to steal some equipment, well, an ounce of prevention is better than a
pound of cure.
And what happens in case some help is needed? Call the police? Lynn Richmond, the OTC Administrator, had such an experience.
Around the middle of February, Richmond heard a loud banging at the
front door of the OTC. An irate man was screaming, "let me in."
Richmond determined that it wasn't a student who had left his or her books
there. After a couple of minutes, Richmond called the Eugene Police and was
told there wasn't anyone available to answer the call at that time. This isn't a
knock against the Eugene Police; it's just that they had other priorities.
It's important that the students and employees feel safe in the learning environment of the OTC. While it might not seem necessary to us on the main
campus to have a part-time security person at the OTC, neither do we have to
walk downtown by the mall after dark. A part-time security person isn't too
much to ask if it makes students and staff feel safer.

later fight as Contras themselves.
Why would our country fund such
a group?
Well, the Sandinistas overthrew
the previous government under the
Somoza family, which had been
dedicated to making a profit from the
country -- even if it meant sacrificing
those it governed. And the US has an
interest in keeping puppet-rulers like
Somoza in power so our country
can continue to make a profit. Even
Roosevelt once said of Somoza, ''he
may be a son of a bitch, but he's OUR
son of a bitch."
At the same time, in South Africa,
the blacks are fighting for equal
rights and equal treatment -- much
like our American blacks struggled
during the fifties and sixties. Yet
although the blacks outnumber the
whites in that country five to one,
parts of US policy and business practices continue to contribute to apartheid, (which, in Afrikaans, means
"apartness"), a system of racial
segregation and white supremacy

peculiar to the Republic of South
Africa.
With this system, the whites amass
great wealth, and the blacks remain
pov~rty-stricken.
How can the US, with its Declaration of Independence, claim that "all
men are created equal,'' yet turn
around and fund groups which
dominate those who aren't making a
profit?
Because a group of people is poor,
does it somehow become less than
equal?
We've become so caught up in our
high standard of living that we tune
out a lot of what our government is
doing. After all, it takes cheap labor
somewhere to insure that bananas in
American marketplaces remain at 39
cents a pound.
America supposedly stands for
freedom, truth and justice. But we're
sacrificing our values as a country to
maintain our standard of living.
Or were those values only for
Americans?

members function well as
adults, are they a productive
people, does this group act
and react well with itself and
others, and does it foster survival and the activities that
assure reproduction?
If a group is destructive to
any of the basic functions of a
society, it can be lethal.
Looking at cultures equally
is important. Prejudice is an
intolerable part of society.
Speaking out against lethal
traits is not prejudice nor
ethnocentric, it's survival.

wrong. Prejudging a person

Sandwich line
poses risks
To the Editor:
The current method of
making sliced sandwich
bread available to students in
the LCC cafeteria seems unsanitary, and could pose a
real threat from the contamination of bread food.
The current method of getting sliced bread to make
one's own sandwich involves retrieving bread slices
with a bare hand from a
bread loaf bag. With all due
respect for convenience and
efficiency, this method poses
some risks of contamination.
One potential form of cont a min a ti on is increased
because of improperly washed hands (or lack of washing
entirely) after use of the
bathroom.
Another risk stems from
sneezing and coughing into
bare hands during sputumfilled bouts with viral and
bacterial infections. Granted
-- this likely occurence is not
supporting the erroneous
belief that all forms of viruses
and bacteria can long survive
on a slice of bread; however,
the potential risk for
transmission of cold viruses
(of which we know little
about) and influenza viruses
still exists. Staph germs and
infectious hepatitis viruses
could also pose risks if the
bread handler was infected.
A simple procedure could
help in the prevention of
such risks.
The current do-it-yourself
sandwich method could be
significantly improved if the

order of the food set-up was
rearranged. For example, instead of offering bread near
the beginning of the sandwich line, it could be offered
on either side of the meat
scale by the food handler
with the use of kitchen
tongs.
The meats and cheese, etc.,
could be placed first, so they
could be weighed separately,
and the remaining items
such as relishes and seasonings could be placed last.
This suggestion is an attempt to significantly reduce
the risk of any viral or
bacterial contamination to
sandwich bread via an infected human hand. It
presents what could be a
simple and conscientious
health practice with the LCC
student and staff member in
mind.

To the Editor:
I'm not one to voice agreement with many Soviet
policies, but according to an
article in the Oregonian
(9-7-87), "in the Soviet
Union, homosexuality is
punishable by one-to-eight
years in prision." And, I
understand, from other
reports that AIDS is extremely rare in the USSR.
When the American Cons titu tio n was adopted,
homosexuality was illegal in
all 13 states. Up until about
20 years ago, similar laws
were still on the books
throughout America. Personally, I don't see that we
were any worse off for having such statutes.
If the Oregon Legislature
passes the gay rights bill currently before it, I have no
doubts that Oregonians will
organize a referendum and
throw it out. Maybe it
wouldn't be such a bad idea
for organizers of such a
referendum to circulate a second measure reinstating

Advice for
the bookstore
To the Editor:
Well, here we go again.
Another term begins and I'm
sure that I'm not the only
student who has spent nearly as much money on books
and supplies as on tuition.
Granted, I'm an art student. I expec~ to make

substantial purchases each
term. I also expect the LCC
Bookstore to provide more
than a petty buy-back return
on my old books: the option
to buy used books, a
reasonable price for new
books and at least a close-tocomplete supply of material
specifically required for my
classes. Each term I am
disappointed with both the
prices and selection at the
LCC Bookstore.
I understand that this is
not the fault only of the
bookstore. Neither is it solely
its responsibility. Most of my
teachers openly admit that,
while they'd like to promote
the bookstore, it doesn't
carry many of the brands and
supplies they require. While
the bookstore complains of
profit loss, neither it nor the
faculty has bothered to
establish an adequate communication system between
them.
In the cooperative spirit of
supply and demand, the exchange of requisite lists and
catalogues should enable the
faculty and bookstore staff -together -- to match the
students' mandatory supply
needs with the • bookstore's
available inventory.
Then I, for one, would
gladly patronize our
bookstore rather than waste
my time trying to park near
the U of 0.
An ASLCC sponsored
book-and-supply-swap held
during Registration week is
another option. It's hard
enough to economize with
used books when teachers
continually replace their texts
with new editions. Although
somehow, when I shell out
$35 a piece for new paperback books because the
bookstore is simply out of used ones (which aren't cheap
either), I'm not surprised.
Considering what they offer for my used books, I'd
rather keep them. Bookswaps could both put more
used books into circulation
and save students a lot of
money.
A supply-swap would provide a service not offered
anywhere else.
Possibly, the bookstore
wouldn't profit from this
proposal. But (with all due
respect to the hard working
bookstore staff) if those people put as much thought into
improvements as they do in
decorating the bookstore
with cute little stuffed
animals, I'm sure that they
could come up with some
better iqeas.

SR C question of the week
SRC

QUESTION

OF

THE WEEK: What are
your feelings about the
rights of the surrogate
mother
and
the
biological father?''
0

• My feeling is that the crux
of the matter is between the
two women. The surrogate
mother must answer: Can I
give this child to this
woman? Am I able to do this?
The foster mother must
answer: Can I take this child?
Am I able to take this child
from her, could I give this
child to her for sure, if the
situation were reversed? The
rest is distraction, and secondary issues.
• If the surrogate is mature
enough mentally and
physically to sign the contract and realize the consequences, then she gives up
the "rights" to the baby.
After all, it's the biological
father and his wife who are

unable to have their own
baby!! The surrogate can
have another child.
• I would say that to expect
a woman to carry a child and
give up all rights is unfair.
There is a natural tie between
the child (and mother).
• If a woman signs a contract to give birth, the contract should be allowed to be
broken. This is a most
humane thing that "only"
women can share in. "It
takes LOVE and COMPANIONSHIP."
• It would have been better
for the child, she is already
torn between both homes, to
give joint custody.
• I feel that the Baby M
decision was just because
that the main point was to
uphold the contract. It was a
legal and binding contract.
• It may sound cold, but
Whitehead entered a contract; regardless of her feelings she is obligated by that
contract.

Layoffs,

• I believe the father and
his wife entered into an
agreement and it should
have the option to meet or
know about what happened.
And what the child chooses
from then on is the child's
choice.
• The surrogate mother
signs the contract and legally
gives up the baby to the
parents. Therefore, when
she gets the money she
ought to damn well be happy.
• The contract was valid
legally. His job was not to examine emotional feeling (that
legislative job). He held it
valid and discontinued the
mother's parental rights. The
interests of the child were
taken in account. She has a
great home. I understand the
judge did the right thing.
First, he evaluated who
would be the best parent
(mother or father) as in other
custody cases. After that he
ruled on whether the mother
lost but to give her visitation
rights. Ruling the contract
void would unduly cause
suffering to the child, father,
adoption mother. That
would not equal mother's
suffering. The child comes
first.
Mother should always
have custody over the baby
or infant.
They should share in joint
custody, with Mary retaining
controlling custody.

Breast exams
save lives

by Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writer

This week's column is dedicated to a serious subject
for women. Do you heed the American Cancer Society's
recommendation of monthly self-examinations for
breast cancer?
With today's technology there is no excuse, ladies,
other than laziness, for the steady increase in breast
cancer deaths.
The American Cancer Society estimates that 1,500
Oregonians will develop new cases of breast cancer during 1987, and that 450 women will die from this cancer.
In response to the increase of the second foremost
killer of females in the US, Lane County's unit of the
American Cancer Society will conduct a mass screening
project for breast cancer throughout the month of May.
The project will promote early detection and offer mam:mograms (a low-dose x-ray examination) at a reduced
cost.
If you are over age 50, have a personal or family
history of breast cancer, have never had children, or had
your first child after age 30, you are considered at high
risk.
Warning signals are changes in the breast such as a
lump, thickening, swelling, dimpling, skin irritation,
distortion, retraction or scaliness of the nipple, nipple
discharge, pain <?r tenderness.

I can feel sorry for the
woman who cannot have
babies. But I can feel for the
mother who carries the baby
all those months and then is
asked to give it to the natural
father and never see it again.

Works to end apartheid

Draft resister sees racism escalate in homeland

by Lois Grammon

TORCH Associate Editor

''This is as much a statement against the 'Oscars' as
against apartheid,'' said
Laurie Mason, South African
draft resister as he was introduced to a group of about
50 at U of O 's Erb Memorial
Union March 31 .

Germany, he recognized the

says Mason, by using

"Under South African law,

work to end concription,
says Mason.
''We do not have any illusions about playing a key

Mason took considerable
risks to travel to the US to
speak about his work as a
founding member of the End
Conscription Campaign
(ECC), according to sponsor
Olive Bowers of Eugene.
But, says Mason, "as a
white activist in hiding, I enjoy more freedom than a
black not in hiding.''
Most white South Africans
have little contact with blacks
on an equal basis while
growing up in "the nice
white suburbs," according to
Mason, who says he had
none. When, as a college student in 1981, he heard "the

black pupils, and wondered
why they were willing to

outlaws protests
against detention
by Lois Grammon

TORCH Associate Editor

The South African government broadened its restrictions on its peoples' rights to freedom of speech, press,
and assembly on April 11, by outlawing any protests
against detention without trial.
The decree, issued by Commissioner of Police Johan
Coetzee under his emergency powers, makes it illegal to
call for the release of those jailed without charge, or to
display "dissapproval" of those detentions.
It also prohibits any acts than may be construed as a
'' symbolic token of solidarity with or honor of political
detainees," including prayers, "free the children"
bumper stickers, and oral, written, and public
statements. And the prohibition also includes attending
meetings and signing petitions against detention.
Any violation of the ban is punishable by up to 10
years in prison or a 20,000 rand ($10,000) fine.
Coetzee said the restriction was necessary because action in support of the prisoners had the '' effect of
threatening the safety of the public or the maintenance
of public order," according to articles in the Register
Guard and Oregonian newspapers.
Estimates of those detained since a state of emergency
was declared by President Botha June 12, 1986, range
from 13,000 to 25,000, 40 percent of those detained being minors.
However, the government showed signs of backing
off from a strict interpretation of the new law, following
defiance of the ban by South African anti-apartheid
campaigners (including Archbishop Desmond Tutu),
and international protest led by US ambassador Edward
Perkins.

members have had houses

received death threats, he
says.
But black activists face the
additional threats of assault
and violence when detained .
Polarization between the
white and black communities
has intensified in the last two
to three years. Blacks are taking an increasingly antiwhite view as a result of the
military action, and reaction
to the violence on both sides

Mason observes. •

But the army is ''being asked to defend a system which
has denied citizenship to 17

adds.
In the last three years, ECC
has emerged as '' a leading
force" in South Africa, in
spite of its members being

Rather, they see themselves
as supportive of the black activists who are leading in the
struggle.
Concription is not the only
target of the ECC. "We are
calling for a just peace as
well, and as a result, we have
won some support from the
white community," says
Mason.
Working against the
government has its costs,
however. Those charged
with "undermining or

The police and soldiers
''have been responsible for
many acts of gratuitous and
unprovoked violence,"
believes Mason, citing an example of an older black man
who was branded on the legs
by soldiers.
The escalating brutality has
both a mobilizing and
demobilizing effect on the
white community, he says.
Some withdraw even further
from dealing with the conflict, while others are
'' getting off the fence
because they cannot passively oppose apartheid any
longer," says Mason.
The end to apartheid "is
inevitable, so why do we
have to go through all of
this?" questions Mason.

LCC capital not in South Africa
by Lois Grammon

TORCH Associate Editor

Ten students from Portland's Reed College
occupied a building there March 30-April 1,
saying they would not leave until the school
had divested money from companies doing
business with the apartheid regime in South
Africa. (Reed College is private, overseen by
a board of trustees). Those students participating face sanctions, including suspen,,,,,..sion.
But the University of California and the
University of Washington recently joined
pther colleges and universities around the US
in divesting any investments in South Africa.
And the state of Oregon may be moving
closer to complete divestiture.
On April 8, 1987, State Treasurer Bill
Rutherford publicly dropped his opposition
to divestiture of Oregon's investments in
South Africa.
At LCC, students have asked a few questions about the college' s investments, but
have remained relatively quiet, says ASLCC
Pres. Rob Ward .
And it appears that there is no reason for
concern, according to Jim George, Oregon
State Treasury investment manager.
LCC's working capital is placed in a
government investment pool, a state-run
money-market fund, which is overseen by
the state treasury.

. Most of the money in the pool comes from
Oregon cities, counties, and school districts,
and from some small governmental offices
which collect funds. It is primarily invested in
government securities, treasury bills, and
bank certificates of deposit, all from the US,
and in '' commercial paper'' (corporate debts)
in US corporations.
Their '' average maturity rate is about 90
days in duration,'' says George, then the
money is reinvested.
The local government pools were organized in 1973 as a service to smaller communities, he says. "Earlier, you could make a
deposit at a bank and earn reasonable interest
rates."
With the funds invested together,
however, greater interest is generated
through millions of dollars in capital, rather
than thousands . "It's more efficient, "
because a smaller percentage is used for
costs, •says George.
State investments, including the State Accident Insurance Fund, state trust funds, and
the investment pools, are overseen by the
Oregon Legislature. One long-term pool, the
Public Employees Retirement Fund, does
have some money tied to South African investments, George says.
But LCC currently has no money in that
fund, which is not open to colleges.

April 17, 1987

Nicaragua,

frompagel--

dent of Nicaragua -- and was formally recognized as such by
the US .
"In 1908, the country was invaded by the US Marines, and
in 1933, they were kicked out, partially .due to the efforts of a
Nicaraguan named Sandino. The Sandinistas were named
after this man,'' says Fitzpatrick.
As head of the national guard, Anastasio Somoza seized
power by a coup in 1937, having been "set up and equipped
by the US. This man later became dictator of the country,
followed by his two sons," says Fitzpatrick.
The National Guard "set Sandino up. Somoza invited Sandino over for dinner, and halfway through it, called his
guards and had him shot," says Fitzpatrick.
And throughout this time period, the Samoza family
became one of the wealthiest families in the world.
''How could the president of one of the poorest countries in
the world become one of the richest men in the world?" asked Fitzpatrick rhetorically.
First, she says, he and his allies took forty percent of the
country, moving poor people off the land, and began growing high-profit exports such as coffee. He kept the profits
himself.
But the primary source of his wealth was US aid sent to his
country -- he took whatever he could get away with, and
channeled it into his family purses, says Fitzpatrick. "When
we sent down blankets as emergency aid to earthquake victims, Somoza sold them," she says.
In 1979, the Somoza regime was overthrown by Sandinista
rebels, and although Somoza tried to flee, he was
assassinated. Currently, Nicaragua is run by a Sandinist
government.
According to Richard Glauber, who spent two weeks in
Nicaragua in March with a group from Witness for Peace,
Contras are "mostly young men from 17 to 19 years old,
organized, trained and equipped by the US to 'destabilize'
Nicaragua and the Sandinistas."
They accomplish this by '' coming down into the countryside and attacking grain storage facilities and medical
clinics," as well as committing "rapes, murders and taking
away families. And the young boys are kidnapped and reeducated to become fighers against their own people,'' says
Glauber.
And according to Fitzpatrick, 44 of the 46 leaders of the
Contras were leaders in Somoza's National Guard.
Witness for Peace is willing to take some of the risks
necessary to learn more about Nicaragua and share this information with others. Groups from the organization travel to
Nicaragua and live with the people, eating the food, speaking
the language, and learning about the culture.
But danger is involved, too. The group stayed in one
village, Quilali, which was supposedly safe. They moved on
the next day, and that day the village was heavily attacked,
leaving six dead.
"There is a great sadness in the country," says Glauber.
"Most people have lost a brother, son, mother, or other
relatives to the Contras. There have been over 38,000 deaths
since the revolution in 1979," he says.
The next excursion to Nicaragua is planned in August. Call
Pam Fitzpatrick at 485-1755 for details.

Kids in LCC classrooms

by Michael Primrose and Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writers

Michael Primrose

LCC maintenance personnel suprised the library staff earlier
this week by constructing a wall in front of the emergency
exit. The library staff uses the exit for taking audio-visual
equipment to classrooms on campus.
April 17.1987

Eugene teachers are walking the picket
lines, leaving parents at LCC with few options for child care. And rather than paying
unbudgeted money for babysitting, many
parents have chosen to bring their kids oncampus.
"Children on campus and in the hallways
are a nuisance,'' says LCC student Danielle
Finch. "Everytime you turn around, there's
one there, and they don't look where they're
going. They could get hurt. It's hazardous.
Besides, we pay for school, not this."
Another student, Bob Kanaga, remembers
the last teachers' strike in 1979.
''There were a lot more children in the
classrooms then. If it's only for one day,
visitations by children are really not that
disruptive, but when you have more than
one or two kids in class, they have a tendency
to interact, albeit unintentionally."
Coping with disruptions in class is
something Study Skills Instructor Don Smith
is familiar with. In the past, Smith says,
parents would bring children to class when
teachers had in-service days.
''It got to the point that the department

Michael Primrose

secretaries were babysitting kids during
classes, so we had to agree on a policy. If it
happens occasionally, if the child is not
disruptive, and if it isn't the same parent bringing their child every day, then we won't
make a fuss.''
With the strike only one week old,
economics instructor Bill Burrows established
an in-class policy concerning child visitations.
"My first priority is to my students, and if
the child is disruptive, they'll have to do
something about it. I'm pleasantly surprised
that I haven't had a problem yet. People have
used really good judgement."
Some departments on campus are prohibiting children in certain areas. Student
Teresa Nugent was asked to leave the Center
Building Testing Center when she arrived for
a test with h er 6-year-old son, Barry. She was
directed, instead, to the Tutorial Center to
complete her test.
And, student Dan Cullen, unable to afford
day-care for his two sons, carries extra books
for Brandon and Beau to read outside his
Spanish class .
''I imagine there's a lot of parents going
through the same problems I am.''

The Lane men placed
fourth out of a nine-team Bill
Wilde Memorial Relays meet
in Gresham on Saturday,
April 11.
Highline,
from
Washington, ran away with
the team title, leaving the top
teams from the Southern
conference in a tight battle
for second through fourth
place~.

pretty hard to take," said
Lane Coach Harland Yriarte.
Our league is pretty even
this year. We beat Mount

Hood by five points last
week, they beat us by nine
here, and now we have
another meet with them
Saturday.''
While Yriarte was less than
enthusiastic over his team's
performance, he admitted
that there were some good
individual efforts.
Lance Lehne took first
place in the discus with a top
throw of 143-3, then took second place in the shot put
with a toss of 46-6 1/2. Lehne
finished a busy day by capturing fifth in the hammer
with a throw of 96-10. All of
Lehne' s marks were personal
records.

On the track, the leading
performer for the Titans was
Jim Howarth, who ran an impressive 1.54.8 leg in the
3,200-meter relay to lead
Lane to a second place finish.
Lane also placed second in
the 800-meter relay, and

The battle lines have been drawn, and sides have
been chosen. The Education Association on one side,
and the Eugene and Coos Bay districts on the other.
But, more importantly, students are left straddling a
line of loyalty.
The last teachers' strike, in 1979, left me puzzled
and bewildered. After all, I was in the eighth grade,
and more concerned abnut my complexion than
strike issues.
This year, my concerns are over the longevity of the
strike, how this community will receive the class of
'87, and what the school closures will do to my
Cooperative Work Experience grade.
The strike is not only affecting grades K-12, but also
the entire community, including LCC.
There is a district policy dictating that if the schools
are closed because of bad weather or any other
reason, extra-curricular activities may not take place.
That means choir, chess, debate, drama, and all
athletics.
It may not be as difficult for a group of chess
players to pick up where they left off, but to ask a student athlete to stop training and competing for an
undetermined amount of time, and then just to
resume competition, is unfair.
An athlete works at conditioning the body into
competitive shape. Once the training stops, the
fitness level dwindles and the athlete must begin to
re-condition.
The people who work with the students -assistants, volunteers, and coaches -- also suffer.

Titan baseball slips again, loses two
by Val Brown

TORCH Sports Editor

The Lane Community College baseball team has been
struggling through the 1987
baseball season. With a
league record of 1-8 the
Titans "have come to the
state when confidence drops
and people start pointing
fingers," says Bob Foster,
head baseball coach.
Lane played a non-league
contest against the OSU

Junior Varsity team on
Thursday, April 9. The
Titans managed only four
hits, including Matt Montgomery's two base hits.
But the Titans were unable
to hold off the Beavers, as
OSU cruised to a 12-3 victory
over Lane.
The Titans were unable to
play Clark over the weekend
due to rainy weather, but
were in action at home in a
doubleheader against Linn-

Benton on Tuesday, April 14.
In the first game LCC was
overwhelmed by LinnBenton pitching as the Titans
fanned seven times. The
LBCC pitcher had a no-hitter
into the sixth inning until the
Titans got one of their three
hits.
Titan pitching, however,
gave up seven hits and committed three defensive errors. Linn-Be~lton crossed
home plate to score 10 times.
Lane was held. to two runs.
In the second game the
Titan bats were more active,
with seven hits, "We hit decent, but couldn't score,"
says Foster. Lane batters
struck out four times, scoring
only twice.
Linn-Benton scored four
runs on four hits, but Titan
pitcher Steve Copeland gave
up 9 walks.
There are 21 games left in
the season, and the Titans
will play Pacific on Saturday,
April 18, and Mount Hood
on Tuesday, April 21. The
Titans next scheduled home
game is Tuesday, April 28, at
1 p.m., against Clark Community College.

valved in some way at 4-J schools. These students
may not be able to fulfill their CWE obligations.
Roof suggests that those involved take it week by
week, and hope that a settlement can be reached
soon. ''Down the road, if the schools are opened, we
may look at going ahead with the new supervisor or
coach," he says.
Chances are that many of the district seniors will
graduate, if schools re-open, without any real
benefits. Seniors may just be given the credits they
need to graduate, instead of actually earning them.
District 4-J hasn't found enough substitute teachers
to replace the 1,200 striking union members. And until that happens, schools will remain closed.
School closures are a bad deal, not only for the
students, but also for the taxpayer and the athlete.
And there are those of us at LCC who were counting
on the 4-J schools to operate so that we could do the
jobs we love to do -- coaching kids.
Maybe LCC students should urge both sides to sit
down and work out an agreement. The students in
the Eugene area need to be in school, not in the
streets.

Jackie Lindsay perfects her hurdling technique for the Titan's triangular meet on Saturday,
April 18 in Gresham.

TORCH Staff Writer

The
Lane
women
dominated a nine-team field
to take the championship of
the Bill Wilde Memorial
Relays at Mount Hood on
Saturday, April 11.
Despite wet, unfavorable
conditions, the Titans
showcased their superlative
throwers as they swept the
weight events. Angela Arms
flung the discus nearly 11
feet further than her nearest
competitor to capture the
event.
Teammate Joi Tipton threw
a personal record (PR) 137-2
in the javelin to win easily,
then tossed the shot 40-2 to
wrap up another victory.
Head Coach Lyndell
Wilken was extremely pleased with the performance of
Tipton, saying, "Joi was our
only dual winner of individual events."

Eileen Austin continued
lowering her times in the
100-meter hurdles as she
cracked the all-time Titan top
ten with a 15.6 clocking.
Austin was the lead runner
for Lane's winning 800-meter
relay team, as well.
Lane will next compete
against Mount Hood and
Blue Mountain in a triangular

meet Saturday, April 18 in
Gresham.
Wilken has high hopes for
the upcoming meet. "This
will be our first dual meet,
and the first chance to qualify
our runners for the district
meet. We really need to flex
our muscles this weekend. I
want everyone on the team
to qualify in at least one
event."

Brighton Beach Memoirs

Unseen 'stars' outnu:m her cast

by Beverly Moore

TORCH Entertainment Editor

"All the world's a stage,
and all the men and women
merely players . . . ''
Well, that's not exactly
right. Some are directors and
others are stage technicians,
but all of them -- actors,
directors, and stage crew -are working on the LCC Performing Arts Department's
production of Neil Simon's

teaches
Harris
"Fundamentals of Technical
Theater 3: Scenic Artistry,"
which focuses on '' set dressing," the interior designing
of the show. "We're doing a
lot of paint work and wall
papering, because of the thirties interior," says Harris.

Main Theater.
The technical crew
members outnumber the cast
3 to 1.

Brighton Beach Memoirs,

Unlike last term's performance of Bye Bye Birdie,
which had 11 different set
changes, Brighton Beach
Memoirs uses only one set,
called a "unit set." Harris explains that '' even though the
action is supposed to happen
in a lot of different places,
the set is designed to show
all of those places at once.''

the cast together into a
cohesive, dramatic whole.
Seifert is new to LCC, but
brings with him years of
theatrical experience. He has
taught theater off and on for
15 years in colleges
throughout the Northwest,
and spent eight years as an
actor and director in community theaters . He recently
finished writing three fulllength plays, and is now in
the process of marketing
them.
According

to

says Seifert.
One of the people trying
out for the play was Martin
A. Hynes, a 16-year-old
South Eugene High School
senior. ''When I heard LCC
was doing Brighton Beach
Memoirs, I thought, 'Boy, I
want a chance to do it.' I kept
thinking that it meant a lot to
me. If someone else got the
part, he might not care as
much as me, and that
wouldn't be fair," says
Hynes.

Seifert,

Brighton Beach Memoirs is the

first in a trilogy Simon wrote
about his life. "This is
Simon's attempt to look
seriously at America. He
uses his own life as a reflection of this process,'' says
Seifert.

he told me. I ran, yelling,
down to the theater to tell my
friends," says Hynes. "I
couldn't believe it."
Although Hynes feels quite
comfortable in his role as
Eugene, he has to work on
maintaining an air of innocence. "Jerry says I'm a
'think person, ' and Eugene
isn't. Eugene is like a 5 or
6-year-old of today. The kid
doesn't know anything. Real
innocent. I've had to think
about not thinking. But it's
been fun to think about
baseball instead of physics,''
says Hynes.
Because a major theme in
the play is love of family,
Seifert says the cast has
worked on being close, with
lots of physical interaction
between them. ''Love binds
together, and it is
the fan
a joy to watch. I think it's the
kind of reassurance we .. ..:ed
today, says Seifert. ''When
the family explodes, we
realize it could destroy it (the
family), but in the end, it
doesn't.
