TORCH Associate Editor

Four LCC athlete s are practicing saying "dos fi-dan -ia" to
their family and friend s before leaving July 7 to travel to the
Soviet Union for a joint track and field compe tition.
The team's leaders, Janet Ander son, athletic traine r, and
Sue Thom pson, P.E. instru ctor, along with Glenn Lamb, a U

of O gradu ate studen t, will also be saying '' dos fi-dan-ia,
Russian for goodbye.
Stude nts anticipating the trip are Diana Nicholas, Jim
Howa rth, and Robin Nutter , all distan ce runne rs, and
decathlete Lance Lehne.
Academic and athletic achiev ement were used as a basis for
the studen t's selection.
On July 7, the group will meet in Seattle with 26 other track
and field athlete s from nine other North west comm unity colleges. Durin g a two-d ay orient ation, they will practice Russian langua ge phrase s and prepa re for the trip.

Go for inclusive, not exclusive, success at LCC

Forum by John Hicks

for the TORCH

When I learned of LCC' s
school motto, "Go For Success," I have to admit it worried me. The first image the
motto brought to mind was
of the '' go for it'' attitude so
prevalent in our society. I am
very pro success, but I think
our focus on individual success has dangerous implications if we don't first examine its relationship to our
troubled times and to the
issue of group success.
Although competing and
succeeding are probably
natural drives in any time or
culture, the uncritical pursuit
of material wealth is certainly
a defining characteristic of
our present culture.
Everywhere we turn, we are
being encouraged to acquire,

Proposed personnel cuts
shock LCC faculty and staff

TORCH Editor

The latest proposed budget cuts
have left many LCC staff visibly
shaken -- especially those who realize
that this time, they're the ones who'll
be cut.
Interim Vice President of Administrative Services Paul Colvin
assured me that the cuts aren't
anything personal -- the positions,
not the people, were looked at when
it came time for the President's Office
to decide where to cut.
But how can people who've been
told they're losing their jobs not take
it personally?
And maybe the administration
should look at the people a little more
closely -- the staff and the students.
When an employee works for a
company for 10 years, doing
everything from teaching to preparing a radio station's taxes, on top of
running an entire department, he
should expect to be able to feel pretty
secure by the age 62. After all, he's
proven himself.
So imagine how Jim Dunne felt
when he heard that both his class
load and his position as the Department Head of Mass Communications
will be cut?
Sure, he'll still teach some classes,
but he'll lose his benefits as a
manager, take a pay cut, and if he
decides to retire, he'll receive less
money.
But Dunne isn't complaining. He
counts himself lucky. At least he'll
still have a job.
But what about Donna and Craig

present impinges on the
future. Unfortunately, the
past and present do affect the
future, and we risk having
our comforting fiction knocked out from under us if we
continue to ignore cause and
effect.
That is why we need to
think about individual success and its relationship to
group success. There are
many different facets to individual success, and
material wealth may not be
preeminent among them.
The satisfaction of maintaining good health or of
acheiving contentment, gaining an understanding of life,
living with a clear conscience, earning the love of
family and friends, winning
respect and status for contributing to the commonwealth; all seem
valuable and meaningful,
and, by comparison, the
rewards of monetary success
become more lackluster and
transient.

MCC benefits
all students
To the Editor:
Financial woes at LCC are
threatening to close the only
facility where many LCC
students of color feel they
can relax.
The Multicultural Center is
on the list of proposed cuts
because it's not perceived to
be of benefit to the whole
student body.
At Clergy and Laity Concerned, we feel very strongly
that if the campus atmosphere becomes less
hospitable to students of color and international
students, everyone at the college will suffer a serious loss
- whether or not they know
it.
To the extent that LCC
increasingly
becomes
homogeneous, the educational experience offered
there will be diminished.
Almost by definition, a
monocultural, ethnocentric
education cannot provide the
whole truth about anything,
and cannot prepare students
to live in a diverse world!
We urge the LCC Board
members not to cut the
Multicultural Center, and to
retain the center coordinator,
Connie Mesquita in her position there.
Sincerely,
Marion Malcom

Pollution is
less today
To the Editor:
This is in response to
Patrick Clancy's letter
printed in the TORCH (4/10).
First, Mr. Clancy is absolutely wrong in claiming
pollution is '' directly proportional to population." Just
look in our own area. The
Willamette river is cleaner today than it was in the sixties,
when the population was
smaller. Thanks to pollution
controls, improved sanitation programs, etc., pollution
levels were reduced, even
though our area grew.
increase
Population
doesn't mean pollution will
increase anymore than
population reduction will
create less pollution. In fact,
pollution levels nationwide
are LESS today than they
were 20 years ago. I would
encourage Mr. Clancy to
read professor Julian
Simon's work, "The
Ultimate Resource.'' This
book destroys many cherished notions of those who advocate population decline.
Small communities often
have worse pollution than
their larger counterparts

Mayl,1987

because they can't raise the
tax revenue to build waste
treatment centers. A thriving
economy can expand in
population and actually
reduce pollution if its people
are commited to clean 'air,
water and wise use of
resources. Forests can be
replanted, and even expanded, in such a country. That's
what is important, not birth
controlling or aborting a nation into extinction.
Look at it this way:
Theodore Roosevelt is
regarded by many as the
father of conservation in
America. Roosevelt also
traveled the country urging
healthy, moral people to
raise large families. He
believed in building a better
world for future gen~rations
(not eliminating future
generations.)

Punkers
exploited?
To the Editor:
Often, when we set out to
learn something, we bring
with us preconceptions of
what our conclusions will be.
I believe that may have been
the case regarding the
"Students Who Dare To Be
Different" pictorial, April 10.
It seemed odd to me that The
TORCH would be interested
in what my friends and I
have to say about our style of
dress.
When I was approached to
have my photo and quote
taken, I consented, as it
seemed to be a good opportunity to answer that oftasked question, "Why do
you look that way?'' once
and for all.
The way I dress, the way I
choose to express myself, is
my business and shouldn't
be a matter of public concern
or scrutiny.
Punk rock and the media
have never mixed well. Most
producers and editors approach the subject not intending to learn anything but
merely to reinforce their
preconceptions. It seems to
me that the quotes were
edited in order to convey the
expectations of the staff and
did not reflect the opinions of
those who were interviewed.
The entire article lacked
sophistication and came off
as exploitive as a freak show
in a weekly tabloid.
What a waste of space!
I wonder if The TORCH
has any plans to ask the
average Joe in jeans and a
baseball cap to justify his

Get issue off
the-wall
To the Editor:
Issues of great substance
have been debated often on
local and national levels.
Sometimes in the heat of
debate, such issues find
themselves on bathroom
walls.
With the graceful stroke of
genius on the stool of
fathomless thought, many an
issue has either drowned
under innocuous dribble or
has been resurrected from
the pits to find status among
more provocative and illusory script.
The issue of sexual abuse
of children -- that, for this
school, seems unfortunately
trapped on enameled
bathroom walls -- would be
dealt with better if its critics,
both pro and con, were adequately informed about this
situation and displayed more
courage in dealing with
sensitive
of
issues
significance publicly, so that
scrutiny
public
by
(sentiment, insight, intelligent criticism, and the
like), such issues could be
better treated. Debatement is
irreverently served when sequestered behind closed
doors.
Debate deserves a degree
of logic compounded with
factual, emotional, and
revelatory information that
seeks to entreat the audience
with some (substantial)
"food for thought."
Criticisms on bathroom walls
are just criticisms on
bathroom walls -- reserved
for the passer-by -- and often
the material content is absorbed in the vile emotionalism and underrates
human intelligence. The
issue of sexual abuse
demands to be brought out
of the bathroom and into the
public eye.
Sexual abuse is a secretive
and selfish exploitation of an
individual -- regardless of sex
or age -- that needs to be fully
exposed. ''Enameling'' the
issue on bathroom walls does
no service to any victim nor
does it appropriately punish
and therapeutically treat any
criminal. Nor in-a-fashion,
does it educate the public at
large. Instead, it lies hidden
and overlooked, laughed at,
ridiculed, unattended to and
forgotten.
Like an ugly sore, it remains covered from rational
thought and responsible action -- festering hate, denial,
overt ignorance and thus,
rapidly spreading to complete the cycle of human
misery.
Sexual abuse is r~mpant in
our society and more so than
many of us would admit. Its
criminals are both men and
women and its victims are
mostly children. If for exam-

pie, we believe that in order
to effectively eradicate a
disease, we must uncover it,
study it, and develop
countermeasures, medicines,
and whatever it takes to
destroy it, then first we must
be willing to admit we have a
problem and deal with it
from there.
In the same order, sexual
abuse is no exception. It is an
all too apparent affliction in
our society and must be dealt
with on an objective level.
Secondly, the issue of sexual
abuse must be removed from
"bathroom walls" and the
mentality that makes light of
it. It must be brought out into
the open where society as a
whole can prepare to do battle with it in the court system
and in the educational
system itself.
The choice is ours to do
something about the ugly
issue of sexual abuse. We are
not at the mercy of this
despicable crime. We, as individuals or in groups, can
protest legally through the
court system. And we can
educate our children and
each other. No crime is too
overgrown for this nation to
handle if we as a concerned
people show resolve,
courage, and diligence in the
face of our most secretive of
shames and our most blatant
of fears. Sexual abuse must
stop!

Anti-sodoiny
laws upheld
To the Editor:
In reply to Martha
DeGiusti' s letter, "They are
protected," Torch 4/10 issue:
Fact: There is no constitutional right to engage in
sodomy. If there was, you'd
think that after 200 years, ·someone would have found it
in the constitution.
In reality, homosexuality
was illegal when the framers
of the constitution were in
charge and remained illegal
throughout America. Half of
the states still have antisodomy statutes, and
Georgia's was upheld by the
Supreme Court just recently.
Fact: Private actions can be
harmful to the public
welfare. Homosexuality is
counter-productive to the
survival of a nation. Moral
considerations aside, if
homosexuality ran rampant,
the reproduction of a nation
would be hampered.
Also, veneral diseases are
generally more common
among male homosexuals
than normal people. We all
suffer if our biological health
deteriorates. (AIDS is a
perfect example; a threatened blood supply, billions of

dollars spent on research,
care for victims, etc.).
Also, a viable nation needs
stability. The family is the
basis of any strong country.
Two or three guys living
together does not a family
make.
Fact: Most people don't
want the legitimitization of
homosexuality. Recent polls
show the vast majority of
Americans are against
teaching that homosexual actions are just another
"alternative lifestyle."
Children should never be
taught to tolerate homosexuality. They should be taught
the dangers of this lifestyle.

Gays viable
in society
To the Editor:
I am responding to the letters written by Larry Farris,
Gina VanCleave, Linda
Norens, and Sharon L. Cuddie: The attitudes expressed
within them contain a
general theme of intolerance
and bigotry.
As a gay man, I have had
discussions with many people with similar opinions,
keeping my own or_ientation
safely in the closet. I suppose
it's a hopeless task trying to
convince people with these
attitudes to change their
minds for a purely
humanitarian reason.
However, if '' money
talks," perhaps people will
take notice of a few basic
numbers. Consider that one
out of 10 (or roughly 20
million) people in the US are
gay, t!1en multiply that
number by $17,000, and
you're talking billions of
dollars contributed to the
economy. If we, as gay people, were to listen seriously
to society's threats of
job/home loss and wind up
on the streets unemployed,
then unemployment/emergency housing would
financially cripple the country.
It makes no practical sense
at all to continue policies of
discrimination against a
viable, contributing element
of society.
And in addressing the
question of morality and sexuality, I find it sadly ironic
that many of the bitter condemnations towards gay
people come from various
religious groups and institutions espousing ideas of love
and charity; they fall embarrasingly short on both
counts. These same institiutions have commissioned
many a gay person to design
their churches and create
thousands of priceless works

SRC question of the week: 4-Jteac hers'str ike

Compiled by Billie Rendal

SRC Director

SRC QUESTION OF
THE WEEK: How is
the 4-J teachers' strike
affecting you?
0

• I think it's unfair to the
students of the 4-J district to
be missing out on their
education. I think the
teachers should be more professional in their job.
• I'm surviving great -- my
13-year-old comes here M-WF. He's a great kid. Other
parents are not so lucky;
however, we support the
teachers and know they want
to be in the classrooms.
Perhaps if we picketed, the
public might support
teachers more. I resent The
Register-Guard for its bias
reporting -- their portrayal of
rape/pillage by teachers is
distasteful.
• I just changed my major

to elementary education. Instead of people being pleased
about my decision, I hear
how greedy and petty all
teachers are. I never thought
they were and still don't, but
I quit talking about my decision to most everyone. This
should be an exciting, happy
time for me. But it isn't. I
hope I never have to strike.
But I will if the time comes.
Old ''greedy'' me.
• It's a damn shame!
Anything that affects our
children affects us. Whether
the teachers or the board are
right is insignificant. The real
problem is, "What is this doing to our children's already
low morale about school and
their place in it?'' It's a damn
shame.
• The teacher's strike actually encounters many
issues. Some of those issues
are just overlooked during
our busy, hectic lives. I,
myself not being a parent,

Exercise:

Keep it simple
by Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writer

Grunt. Umph. Groan.
Summer's coming and the desire to display sleek,
muscular bodies under the briefest of fashions has
everyone running like crazy to the nearest gymnasium
or P.E. class.
But, if you covet the defined bulges of the he-man
next to you, realize that the skinny toothpick arms you
now possess can not be radically transformed overnight. And without proper precaution, more damage
than good can be done.
Health and P.E. instructor Kurt Schultz recommends
a minimum of three workouts per week. Stretch before
and after workouts and warm up before each routine
with up to 25 percent of the weight you will lift.
Workouts should be "total body," beginning with upper body, and continuing through torso and abdominals
to lower body, or vice versa. Do not jump around. Begin
with general muscle groups and continue to specific
muscles.
As for intensity, you should not be tired from your
previous workout, although there may be some muscle
soreness. Find the maximum weight you can lift six
times but cannot a seventh time. This is your starting
weight. You should spend one to one and a half weeks
at this weight performing one set (six to 10 repetitions) .
Then gradually increase sets (not weight) each week until you reach three sets of 10 repetitions. At this point
you can increase the weight.
Because of lower back strain and possible injury, stay
away from straight-legged lifts, power cleans, hyper

can only sympathize with the
many busy parents and student parents who now have
to find entertainment for
their children. And '' for
Christ's sake," the children
aren't learning! This is a
comment I have heard many
parents say. But are most of
the children really learning
like they should be when
they are in school? Compared to other developed
countries, our standard of
education is extremely low!
Why??? Are we willing to
pay for quality education?
Many people don't think
twice before they buy the
new car or VCR, etc. Meanwhile, other countries pay to
have well-educated teachers
who perform properly and
teach accordingly. There
really isn't that much incentive here for the teachers to
do so. My father is a teacher
and has taught in other countries. I have attended foreign

several meetings with the
cabinet which involved
'' sitting •down and talking
about the issues," and she
asserted that she had instructed the managers to take
those issues back to their
departments for discussion.
''When I looked at this process, I think there was full
participatory management''
up to the point of the proposed personnel cuts caused by
the $2 million budget reduction, said Belcher.
English instructor Mike
Rose asked the staff
members for a show of hands
to demonstrate how many
people actually had their

the cuts with them. Fewer

raised their hands in
response .
Then Belcher was asked
how much of the input was
actually taken back to her.
Belcher responded that she
had no reason to believe that
the flow of information was
interrupted. She said she
believes that the decisions
were made on the most input
and feedback possible.
At that point, English instructor Susan Dunne voiced
her· opinion that "This
meeting shouldn't just be

members agreed, saying

• It's making me aware of

things like ''The only person
in the position to oversee
everything'' is the college
president.
Belcher answered that as
vice president for Instruction, she could only speak for
herself .
Forum facilitator Milt Madden asked why the cuts were
announced while the leadership was gone, and Belcher
responded that the cuts had
to be announced during the
time of her absence to comply with the faculty union contract. She added that she had
made a commitment to be absent during that time period.
"I had wonderful managers
here -- why was I to feel uncomfortable?''
Throughout the course of
the meeting, Belcher called
on other vice presidents and
college experts to help
answer questions. She spoke
of marketing the college to
increase enrollment, and told
faculty members that the college was attempting to find
ways to prove to the state
that it could generate higher
enrollment, thus warranting
higher FTE monies.
Belcher told the faculty that
the administration was
always willing to listen, adding, ''You can create
whatever forums you want
and we will come.''

The first applause of the
meeting came near its end,
after German instructor
Karla Schultz said that the
theme throughout each AllFaculty Conference she had
attended was "working
comand
together
municating," yet it didn't
appear that two-way communication was occuring.
"You say to the people, 'You
may not like this decision,
but that's what we've arrived
at,' " she said.
Belcher tried to end the
meeting on an optimistic
note, saying, '' after listening
to you today, we will be able
to reposition ourselves'' for a
better future.
But in spite of her efforts,
Susan Dunne said angrily,
"You say that we' re involved, but we are not involved"
in the decision-making processes. She said she didn't
think department heads
were being listened to, adding that '' department heads
don't cut 16 year faculty
members with fully enrolled
classes. '' ·
Dunne asserted that
Belcher would not be
perceived as credible as long
as Turner lacked credibility.
''You can say 'You matter
to me,' but we won't believe
you until you give us a piece
of the power," she concluded, and most of the others in
the meeting applauded for
the second time.

Blocking off exit
concer nsUbra rystaff
by Lois Grammon
TORCH Associate Editor

Carpenters moved into LCC' s Learning Resource Center
(LRC) April 14, walling in an emergency exit and provoking
disbelief among library personnel.
The Campus Facilities Committee decided a year ago that
the space in the LRC, also known as the Library, was suitable
for the construction of new office space for LCC' s Campus
Ministry.
But Library Director Clifford Dawdy is disappointed that he
and other staff were not invoved in the discussion, and says
"No one asked us, or even let us know what was going on."
He also expresses disbelief that the LRC is the only space
available.
"Surely there is other office space on this campus for the
Campus Ministry, especially now, with the Reductions in
Force; there're going to be to be offices empty all over the
place," he says.
Although Dawdy and other personnel are concerned about
the decision and some of its consequences to the LRC, construction is going ahead.
And Dawdy remains disturbed about the impact the con•
struction will have in the LRC.
He feels that closing off the emergency exit "is not responsible," although Jim Ellison, dean of Telecommunication s
and Instructional support, (which oversees the LRC), says
the committee determined that plans meet fire safety regulations.
In addition, Dawdy says that the door being walled in was
used by audio-visual staff to move equipment from the LRC
to other locations around the campus. Now they must use
other exits, increasing the disturbance and noise.
Also, the new location of the drinking fountain allows
visual access to those using the bathroom, says employee
.
May Fogg.
These concerns are valid, says Ellison, who believes that
LRC staff should have been involved at some point in the
plans.
"Cliff Dawdy wasn't informed of the decision in a timely
fashion. Normally, what happens is the committee does a
feasibility study, and people are involved in the discussion.
For some reason, that did not happen in this particular
discussion.
''It is embarassing for a manager to find out what's going
on after the fact,'' Ellison adds.
However, "spaces do not belong to individual departments. The college evaluated the needs and requirements of
Campus Ministry, and decided that the space in the LRC was
best suited for the purpose."
''If it had made even a slight erosion of the learning environment, the decision would have come down differently,"
believes Ellison.
"In terms of ultimate impact, (the space) really wasn't
usable for any kind of library use," says Ellison.
Some changes may be made to alleviate some of the problems resulting from the construction in the LRC.
''They' re going to put a visual shield next_ ~o the w~ter
fountain," and a curtain will be hung as an additional barrier,
says Ellison. And to facilitate moving audio-visual equipment, the committee is considering installing a door next to
that department.
Dawdy is skeptical, however. "To me, it just seen,15
ridiculous. You close off an emergency door, (then) you 11
build us another door. To me, it doesn't sound like common
sense was used to any great extent."

"We'll be staying at an international sports camp in the

But not against the Soviets. One unique aspect of the track

They will also tour the 1984 Olympi~ complex in Moscow,
and a college of physical education. .: •
If possible, the athletes will visit private homes for dinner
and to meet Soviet citizens face-to-face.

Lehne, who competed in China during high school, s~ys,
''I want to see what differences there are between Amenca,

A cooperative work project with Soviet college students to

their national service, college students there are required to
do summer volunteer work.
And daily workouts won't be forgotten, although "in
Moscow and Leningrad, people aren't used to seeing people
running and working out on the street,'' says Anderson.
Workshops with top Soviet trainers and coaches about their

The excitement won't end with the trip, however; not for
Anderson, Thompson, the team, or LCC.
As part of the cu_ltural exchange, a group of non-elite Soviet
athletes will vist here in May 1988.
Plans for that are "gearing up, and going into full swing,"
according to Anderson. "We need to raise a whole bunch of

Making it to the computer

cover the classes you want.
And arranging payment for
tuition. It's all frustrating
enough.
Perhaps because of this, it
may come as no surprise
when a random survey of
LCC students reveals that
most students don't worry
about the special fees they're
charged for classes.
''It's such a minimal
amount, $1 or $2, that I really
don't pay attention to it,''
says Mark Pruen, 29,
physical therapy major.
Pamela Koga paid only $2
this term for an independent
study math course. ''In Fall
Term, I had special fees for
almost every course. But I
really don't notice the
amounts. I receive a grant so
my tuition and all fees are
paid for out of that.''

Kristine Hayes still wonders
why some classes charge
fees.
''I can understand the

took a class last term in the

Department that I paid a $6
fee for. There was no text required and there were no
class handouts during the
term. We didn't use any
special equipment or supplies. I still wonder what that
$6 was for.''
Student Jerry Parson
thinks it would be nice if
LCC gave earlier notice on
the amounts of special fees
required for each new term.
''I usually pay my tuition
by deferment. If I have excessive fees then I have to
come up with more than the
minimum of $84 for deferment."

1500 credit classes listed in
the Winter Term class
schedule required special
fees. According to LCC
Budget Analyst Carol
Beckley, departments determine fees by projecting the
enrollment for a given year
and then estimating the costs
of special supplies for that
projected enrollment.
While most departments
list each fee amount, they do
not explain the intended use
for the money.
For instance, the English
and Foreign Language
Department charges $6 for
first year Spanish. Students
registering for Career and
Life Planning in the Human
Development Department
pay a $2-3 fee. Science course
fees run from $2 to $7 and
seven departments offer
Telecourses at a cost of $7 per
course.
"I don't really have a clear
understanding of what fees
are for," states Kim
Buchanan, an art major. t'I

LCC and other community
colleges in Oregon have simmilar accounting systems for
student fees -- and not one of
the institutions can account
for the ways in which it uses
the fees, nor prove that the
fees are being used for their
stated purposes.
In surveying five Oregon
community colleges, the
TORCH learned of three different philosophies behind
the collection of fees. But, no
college can prove whether
the fees are used for their
stated purpose. Here are
three examples:
• Portland Community College (PCC) established a
policy similar to LCC' s for

biUty to prove to
.t!ir precious few

the institution of special fees.
While it does not charge a fee
for clothing and laundry in
P.E. classes ("We leave that
up to the students, says
Sally Wood of PCC's
Business Office) the majority
of courses do require special
fees.
As at LCC, fees collected
by PCC are deposited into
each department's revenue
account. The department
head can then spend the fees
at his/her discretion.
• In contrast, Linn-Benton
Community College (LBCC)
has raised tuition for all
students to cover special
classroom costs. The college
has only a few special
charges.
''We used to charge fees
for most programs to cover
11

'user expenses,' but then the
changed
phil_osophy
(because) special fees impacted our Vocational Program more than others, and
caused a hardship on those
students.
To alleviate this hardship,
LBCC increased tuition to
even-out the expenses across
the student body.
"Out of the $19 per credit
hour we collect in tuition,
$1.11 goes to Special
Fees/Student Programs."
Some LBCC classes still resuch as
quire fees,
photography (for film) and
art (for clay). Science
students are also charged
breakage fees, but only if
they break equipment.
• Chemeketa Community
College charges special fees
11

to cover '' excess expenses
and supplies," says Frank
Blank, registrar and director
of Admissions. ·
However, unlike LCC,
which deposits the fees collected by a department into
that department's revenue
account, Chemeketa collects
the fees from all departments
and deposits them into the
general fund.
"By giving the money back
to a department, you give
them an unfair advantage
over departments which
don't charge fees," says
Blank. "We believe there
should be an overall institutional advantage from these
fees, so each departJllent
must compete for the funds
the same as they do for
funds.''

Titans out-hit Clark

by Val Brown

TORCH Sports Editor

The rumor mill at LCC ran amuck last week. In one
class I attended, students were struck with the gossip
bug, wondering what was going to fall prey to the
•
budget axe next.
I, being the sweet and gullible young lady that I
am, was captured by the mesmerizing talk of athletic team elimination. Such words made my blood boil
and goose bumps run up and down my spine.
Cut team athletics? How absurd! No one could be
serious! But then I heard it from what I thought was a
reliable source.
It can't be true, it just can't be so. LCC couldn't lose
three teams to budget cuts. It would be devastating to
the college's future.
Nonetheless, I heard that rumor repeated, and
more started about other deparments around campus.
Such talk made me wonder: how safe are any of
our services on campus? What else could the college
demand be taken?
Logically (and maybe somewhat illogically), I
reasoned, the students need a library, cafeteria, and
health center. But maybe the college hasn't realized
what a healthy athletics department could do for the
FTE of the school.
If you didn't know, in case you live in a cave or
don't get out much, LCC is facing budget cuts and
spending freezes. But to lay rumors to rest, no
athletic teams will be taken as a result of the reductions.
So the next time you hear a rumor that's straight
from the horse's "reliable" mouth, check to be sure
exactly which end the information really comes out
of,
If you dod' t, you could be sorry you moved in too
close.

Pratt and Mike Parker hit
well for the Titans. Pratt
went 2-4 with a double, and
Parker went 2-3.
In the second game, _Lane
got on the score board in the
third inning with two. "We
more or less coasted for the
rest of the game. We didn't
have that killer instinct."
says Bob Foster.
The Titan dam broke in the
sixth inning. " Steve
Copeland had a no-hitter and
a shutout going for 6 2/3 innings," explains Foster. Clark
scored three runs (one more
than the Titans), in the sixth
inning by combining a base
on balls, a weak single in the
hole between second and
first, and a two RBI double.
The Titans, now 6-11 in the
NWAACC Southern Division league, begin a three
day home stand on May 3
against Linfield, and in
league action May 9 against
Mount Hood. May 12 LCC
will play Clackamas in the

OSU thwar ts Titan's "late inning comeb ack
by Val Brown

TORCH Sports Editor

In non-league action, the OSU Beavers held off a
late inning Titan comeback attempt, chalking up a
7-5 defeat for LCC on April 23.
The OSU JV team scored six of their seven runs in
the fourth inning, capitalizing on the combination of
base hits and bases on balls .
The Titans were able to get on the scoreboard in the
fifth inning. Rod Johnson started the inning off with
base on balls, followed by Charlie Keady's base hit to
center field. A walk loaded up the bases . Johnson
scored on a wild pitch, but the Titans left runners on
second and third, 6-1 with Beavers leading.
OSU was able to load up the bases in the sixth with
two base hits and a Titan error. A run scored on a
bases-loaded walk, but the Beavers were unable to
score for the remainder the game.
The Titans scored one run again in the sixth with
the combination of Don Wolff's base hit and OS U
miscues, and the game went into the seventh inning
with the Beavers leading 7-2.
The Titan offense went to work in the seventh inning, producing two runs on four hits. Starting the inning with a one-out base hit to right field, the runner
advanced to third on a bad pick-off throw to first.
Lane loaded up the bases with a combination of a
base hit, a walk and Wolff's single. Two more runs
scored on a base hit single into left field.

by Val Brown

TORCH Sports Editor

The Lane Community College baseball team brought
home league victories three
and four with a 8-4, 4-2
sweep over Clackamas Community College on April 25.
Lane's pitching staff held
off Clackamas hitters, allowing only three hits, but giving up 10 walks.
Both Charlie Keady and
Rod Johnson hit run-scoring
doubles, combining with
other base hits and
Clackamas ' s errors and
fielder's choices for a fiverun first-inning.
Lane, with good hitting
from Scott Smith and Don
Wolff (both went 2-4 at the
plate), out-hit Clackamas 9-3.
In game two, the Titans
started the inning off with a

Matt Montgomery's flair into
left field to score one run.
Tony Broadous' single into
left field started off the third
inning for the Titans. Andy
Johnson followed Broadous
with a base hit behind the

runner, and Broadous scored
on a wild pitch.
With the strong pitching of

ly," said a pleased editor, Kelli Ray. "We are maintaining the paper's already-high standards.
''I have a damn good student staff,'' Ray said of her
reporters, photographers, assistant editors, production
artists, advertising sales staff, distribution workers, and
typesetters. "We're fortunate to have advisers who help
bring continuity from year to year, and to have a college
that gives us the tools we need -- and the freedom
necessary -- to produce this paper.''
Three other Oregon community college publications
were honored, as well: The ASPA gave first place praise
to the Advocate of Mt. Hood, the Commuter of LinnBenton, and the Courier 4 of Chemeketa.
Ray and reporter Diane Davis won special notice for
community service. Davis' story, "Hepatitis Risks Increase,'' documented the discovery of a new virus that
makes Hepatitis Type B potentially fatal. Ray's
''Forgotten Ritual,'' presented results of an informal
TORCH survey which showed that LCC students and
staff often failed to wash their hands after using the
toilet -- the best method for stopping the spread of
Hepatitis Type A. Her editorial, "Cleaning Up Our
Acts'' e•plained the method by which the LCC Dental
Clinic was protecting its students and clients from
Hepatitis B.

Memoirs offers tears an d laughter
by Beverly Moore

TORCH Entertainment Editor

LCC' s final play of the
seaso n, Neil Simo n's
Brighton Beach Memoirs, is a
well-d one and fast movin g
produc tion offerin g both
laught er and tears as it spins
the tale of a Jewish family in
Brooklyn during the Depres sion.
Simon 's quasi- autobi cigra phica l play cente rs
aroun d Eugen e Morri s
Jerome, a 15-year-old health y
American boy who splits his
time betwe en dream ing
about baseball and trying to
get a glimps e up his cousin
Nora's skirt.
The plot reveals the conflicts betwee n seven family
memb ers in their overcrowd ed house. Simon uses
humo r
gentle
light,
throug hout the play to soften
the frustra tion and pain that
is a consta nt reality in the
family's relatio nships -- and
we are moved by the
characters on the stage to
reflect on our own relationships.
Martin Hynes , a senior at
South Eugen e High School,
plays Eugene. Most of the
dialogue and action on stage
is Eugen e's, and Hynes plays
the role exceptionally well,
never falling out of character.
Hynes directly addres ses the
audien ce throug hout the
play, and his transit ions from
narrati on to action are always
smooth . Althou gh his pauses
for audien ce laught er are a
little too short, Hynes consistently acts like a true professional.
Sharo n Sless plays
Eugen e's mother , Kate, and
Sless' consta nt worryi ng and

the play' s highlig hts. Sless'

Blanc he's

Jackie Stein, is a sickly girl
who has been protec ted all
her life by her mother . Laurie
is somew hat of a non-en tity
in the play, but Stein plays
her role of the poor little sick
girl in a satisfactory manne r.
Direct or Jerald Seifer t
presen ts Bright on Beach
Memoirs as his first produc tion at LCC. The action progresse s throug h the play
masterfully, movin g from the
living room, to the
bedroo ms, to outside in the
yard, unobst ructed . Seifert
proves himself as a wonde rful directo r and a great addition to the staff in the Performing Arts Depart ment.
The set design for Brighton
Beach Memoirs is intricate and
enterta ining, and gives the
audien ce an interes ting and
varied backdr op throug hout
the play. As set and lighting
design er for all of LCC' s
theater produc tions this year
-- includ ing Brighton Beach
Memoirs -- Rick Harris has
proven himself beyond a
doubt as a great set designer.
Brighton Beach Memoirs will
be perfor med May 1 and 2 at
the LCC Main Theater, at 8
p.m. Admis sion is $6.
