'Eulogy,' criticism
mark budget meeting
by Lois Grammon

TORCH Associate Editor

Proposed budget cuts motivated about 120 LCC students
and facul~y to_ attend the budget committee meeting Wednesday evemng, m support of positions and activities designated
as "unfunded" in LCC's 87-88 budget.
Budget Committee Chair Gary Parrish jokingly broke the
tension by telling the audience that each speaker had 30
seconds to present testimony to the budget committee and
the LCC Board of Education. Over 20 individuals and groups
who submitted written testimony spoke, and members of the
audience also gave spontaneous testimony about their concerns over the impact of the college-wide layoffs.
When the final decisions are made on the budget, "it will
not be as pleasant," reminded Parrish. The Board will meet at
8 p.m. Wednesday, May 13; to hear recommendations from
the budget subcommittees concerning the proposed cuts, and
any alternative suggestio~s.
.
Several positions and departments slated for cuts received
vocal support at the meeting, including a eulogy'' for Media
Productions, and a petition for the Multicultural Center with
over 450 signatures was submitted.
Other departments represented at the meeting included
Mass Communication, Word Processing, Electronic Services,
Dental Hygiene, Housekeeping and Maintenance, Grounds,
and Archives.
Word Processing and Media Productions will both be
dissolved if the cuts are made as planned.
In addition, Classified Staff President Joyce Kofford and
Learn_ing Resourse <;=enter (LRC) employee Mary Cudney
questioned the legality of the layoffs of the classified staff.

Tuition hike is budgeted
by Robert Wolfe

TORCH Lead Reporter

A proposed tuition increase that would generate
$230,000 in additional
revenues is already part of
the college's budget proposal
for the 1987-88 school year,
Vice-President for Student
Services Jack Carter told the
ASLCC at its May 4 meeting.
The proposal calls .for a
hike of about 5 percent in tuition costs next year, which
would increase credit tuition
from $21 to $22 per credit
hour, and high school completion and adult education
tuition from $33 per class to
$35 per class.
The cost for full-time instate students would increase from $231 to $242 per
term, and for out-of-state
students from $880 to $924.
The hike would make LCC
the second most expensive
community college in
Oregon, second only to LinnBenton Community College.
It would be the third increase
in as many years.
Although the proposal has
not yet been approved, the
increase is already assumed
in the college's spending
plan for next year, and is not
intended to offset part of the

Has hunting for low-cost, high-quality
childcare during the teaching strike left you
frustrated? If so, a newly-created LCC
emergency childcare service may be the
answer you've· been looking for.
Certified teachers are caring for children
daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the LCC main
campus.
Child care costs are paid on a daily basis,
varying according to the parents' involvement in the program, says Lynn Johanna,
Childcare Coordinator. Parents can drop
their children off for the full day for $3.50, or,
instead, for $2 and an hour of volunteer

work. If parents only need childcare for part
of the day, they may prefer to pay $1 an hour.
"We don't have a lot of set times for doing
things -- we just want to keep the kids occupied, constructive, interacting together,
and safe," says one instructor who wishes to
remain anonymous due to the strike. "I don't
want to regulate it too much because of the
different age groups," she explains.
The co-op, provided by the combined efforts of the Student Resourse Center, the
ASLCC, teachers involved in the strike, and
other voluntary help, is held in various LCC
classrooms, with the location changing each

Placing the blame for Ben Linder's death
by Rob Ward
ASLCC President

Who killed Benjamin Linder?
"Not us," says the Reagan Administration. It's
not our fault that Mr. Linder, who had a civil
engineering degree from the University of
Washington, volunteered to work on hydroelectric
and geothermal projects in small villages in
Nicaragua.
Just because Mr. Linder cared about the
Nicaraguan people is no excuse for him to be
where US-supported bandits routinely slaughter
and torture innocent civilians. Didn't Mr. Linder
know there is a war going on in Nicaragua? We
didn't ask him to go there. He went on his own.
You can't blame us for Ben Linder's death.
Who killed Benjamin Linder?
"Not us," says the US Congress. It's not our
fautf we appropriated $100 million to support the
Contras last fall. We had information which led us
to believe that the Contras were working for the

''Us'' or ''them''?

good of Nicaragua. We send representatives on
fact-finding tours all the time. The Contra leaders
tell us the same thing time and time again. "We
need money. We will win with more money.''
It is not Congress' job to see how Contra money
is spent. We can't help it if half of the $100 million
is unaccounted for. We just wanted to make sure
the money was available. You can't blame us for
Ben Linder' s death.
Who killed Benjamin Linder?
"Not us," says the mainstream press. The
United States has supported the Contras and their
illegal acts for years. It's old news. People get tired
of hearing about lynchings and murders that our
government pays for. Besides, Nicaragua is just a
tiny country in Central America. We would rather
cover the important issues on the front pages. Like

Jim Bakker' s sex life. It's up to the individual to
find out about atrocities that occur in Nicaragua.
You can't blame us for Ben Linder's death.
Who killed Benjamin Linder?
"Not us," says the Contras. It is not our fault
your government is willing to support our
clandestine acts of war against "our" people. We
help Nicaraguans by destroying their coffee fields
and important projects such as the one Mr. Linder
was working on. We merely asked for money from
your government. Congress didn't have to give it
to us.
Besides, you white folks all look alike. We
mistook Mr. Linder for a Soviet advisor. We run
across unarmed civilians working on water projects all the time. We are told to execute them. Isn't
this what the US pays us to do? Where is your administration, your Congress. Where are your news
media? We were simply obeying orders. You can't
blame us for Ben Linder' s death.

Cuts destroy ability to attrac t and keep students
forum by Bob Wolfe

LCC Student

Well, it happened again.
Decisions were made
without adequate input from
the faculty. Specifically: the
recently announced personnel cuts.
At the All-Faculty Conference on April 29 many
complaints were heard about
the lack of opportunity for
the faculty to discuss the cuts
with their managers. While
some did recieve the opportunity for giving their opinion, at least half of the faculty members at the meeting
had no input whatsoever.

-

What is going on around
here? A strong faculty is the
foundation for a successful
institution. This is particularly true at LCC, which is
blessed with a collection of
intelligent, motivated, and
innovative people who
should not be ignored.
Because of this lack of input, cuts are being made in
some of the most important
areas of the college. Tragically, these cuts have a common
theme.
One area being cut is the
Career Information Center.
This is a highly visible area
that performs the all-

llliIC

important community contact function, in addition to
career counseling. This point
of first contact for many new
students, the contact that
could inspire them to enroll
in the first place, will be no
more.
The Multicultural Center is
being deported. Foreign
students provide a vital
flavor to the campus, and
enrich the educational experience for us all. They also
pay a very steep rate of tuition (read that as income). If
this area goes, so goeth they.
Next to be slashed is

It can be conclusively
shown that one of the areas
of greatest enrollment
decline has been evening
classes, and that the decline
occured after withdrawal of
administrative support. The

marketing and grant writing,
is one of the major, vital
areas that must be bolstered

Rumor darific ation necessa ry
to fully educate LCC popu"/ation
by Kelli J. Ray

TORCH Editor

People on campus are confused.
Everyone from the staff to the
students has heard a different story
concerning what is being cut from
the 1987-88 budget, and everyone
believes his or her version is true.
We've heard a lot of interesting
stories at the TORCH. We heard that
the Athletic Department was cutting
two thirds of its team activities, that
Fred Loveys was losing his job, and
that teams would no longer be able to
afford travel to competitions.
We heard that the Snack Bar would
be cut, that the ASLCC would lose
much of its funding, and that deferred tuition would no longer be allowed.
We even heard that the President's
Office was cutting one of its vice
presidents, and that LCC Pres.
Richard Turner was looking for a
new job.
Obviously, there are going to be

Page 2 The TORCH

disgruntled staff members if they or
their co-workers are losing their jobs.
And there will also be unhappy
students who fear being cheated by
fewer services and programs. But
there doesn't have to be needless
confusion or rampant rumors.
After all, there's always "rumor
clarification. ''
Perhaps it's time to drag that old
idea out of the closet and dust it off
for re-examination.
In the short run, it might be wise
for the administration to consider
clarifying the budget cuts to the entire LCC staff as soon as possible via
a memo like the one Turner sent in
April. This memo could be more
specific than the last, letting the people know what might be cut, who
might be affected -- and why.
Such a process would dispell the
general rumors and uncertainty, and,
more importantly, the fear many on
campus have that the administration
is ''axing'' people and programs on

some sort of personal vendetta.
In the long run, it would be wise
for the administration (including
Turner) to hold monthly meetings to
inform the entire LCC staff and student body -- not just a select few -- of
the changes which might affect them.
Although the All-Faculty Conferences are a great start, the rest of
the campus population needs information, too.
Another idea is for the administration to come out with a weekly or
monthly newsletter which would do
the same thing. This newsletter could
include an "impact statement,"
much like the Forest Service's Environmental Impact Statement, telling both staff and students of the affects of proposed program and staff
reductions.
As the saying goes, ''Inquiring
minds want to know," and people
who are well-educated with the facts
are less apt to spread rumors. So
educate your staff and students, LCC
Adminstration. You are in the education business.

before we will ever attract
students again. Instead, it is
targeted for elimination.
This causes me particular
grief; many readers are
aware of my long relation•ship with the Evening Program Advisory Committee.
On top of all this, the head
of the retention program is
going. Here we are, having a
major problem with losing
students, and we cut the prosee Cuts page 11

Where is humanity headed? Evolutionists say we are

religions teach that after a

heaven or hell, depending on
what kind of decisions were
made while still alive.
These philosophies and
beliefs could be debated
forever. Actually, the debate

totally unacceptable situation.

To the Editor:
I've been a student at LCC
for the past two years. I'm
leaving this term and before I
go, I feel compelled .to let the
staff and the instructors
know how much I appreciate
them. The staff at Lane is the
most ::aring I've ever known,
always concerned about
students and always willing
to help.
Like many of my fellow
students, I'm distressed over
the recent cutbacks (or RIF)
because of the projected
decline in enrollment. The
question that many of us are
asking is ''What could have
been done by the administration to prevent all of this?"
Decline in student enrollement has been happening for
several years and there have
been many ideas presented
to the administration by the
staff that could have turned
the tide. Why has the administration dragged its feet
on this issue?
Some of the suggested
ways to boost enrollment:
Start a real scholarship program, with a full-time
solicitor for scholarships
funds within the Foundation. Start an LCC alumni
association. A lot of important people have gone to
LCC, and many of them
would be glad to support a
scholarship program. Use
more effective marketing

ideas to reach prospective
students. Many ideas like
these have been brought up
to the powers to be, but very
little has been done with
them.
Instead, the administrat~on
has chosen to ignore the problem until it is too late, and
now the staff and the
students have to pay the
price of its procrastinations.
As students of LCC, we
can be very thankful for the
quality of education we have
received here. Let's hope
that, in the future, the people
who operate this campus will
do a better job of it, so other
students can have the same
quality of instruction and services that we have had.

To the Editor:
The Bible states, "Know ye
not that ye are the temple of
God, and that the Spirit of
God dwelleth in you. If any
man defile the temple of
God, his shall God destroy;
for the temple of God is holy,
which temple ye are.'' (I Cor.
3:16-17).
The Bible also tells us that
we were created in the image
of God. We are definitely of
great value; every one of us!
Shouldn't we treat ourselves
in the same way?
. People can choose to live
inconsistent with God's
ways. However, in doing so,
we sentence ourselves to
misery by ignoring God's
plan. There is, fortunately,
hope for those trapped in
various vices. One can repent, give up the sin and call
on God for strength and
guidance to overcome. With
God, nothing is impossit,le.
God's commandments
were not given to limit us.
On the contrary, through living according to God's will,
we can enjoy happiness and
our horizons will be limitless.
God's path is the way to true
freedom.

shortcomings of her twisted
logic, one of them was that
our planet and all of its nonhuman creatures have suffered tremendously at the expense of selfish human
needs.
Pollution was one of the
examples
I
gave,
'' ... population and pollution
are directly proportional." It
seems that Ms. Parkman
believes that my claim is
"absolutely wrong ... ," her
exact words.
She cited the Willamette
River as an example. In the
1950s the Willamette River
had less people living near its
banks than it does today. Yet
with more people living near
it today, it's cleaner now
then it was then. What she
forgot to tell her reading audience, was that 100 or so
sewage treatment plants
wer.e added to help a very
severe problem. The river today is polluted less from
sewage dumping; however,
herbicides, pesticides,
phosphorous, and many
other pollutants continue to
go into the delicate
ecosystem of the Willamette.
And yes, their levels increase
as population increases.
Shirley Kengla of the
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, informed me that the Tualatin River
of Washington County is currently one of Oregon's bigger
environmental problems.
She said that the reason
many fish are dying is
because population growth
along the river has risen
greatly in recent years. People have been polluting this
river faster than the river can
flush itself out.
Ms. Parkman commonly
writes letters condemning
the practice of abortion . She
and others from the Pro-Life
cause commonly use the low
population theory as a
reason why abortion should
be stopped. I think she
would do better to stay in
touch with reality in her efforts to gain her goals. In the
meantime, if she still thinks
the Willamette is unharmed
by the local populace, then
she should dare to drink the
water as the helpless fish and
birds have to.

Bee alert

by Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writer

Soaking up the sun's warm rays, I lay nestled in the
cool fresh grass outside the Center Building. A gentle
breeze floats warmly by and the sweet scent of flowers
breathes from a bed of daffodils at my side. Everything
is glorious on earth.
And then a bee lands on my literature book.
Now, I don't have any particular aversion to flying insects. They serve a useful purpose on earth. But looking
eyeball to eyeball with yellow and black stripes reminds
me, with painful clarity, that a bumble bee's sting is not
something I ever want to experience again. So I pick up
my book and leave my idyllic spot.
•
I am fortunate that I only suffer from a fear of bee
stings. One to four percent of the population is allergic
to the venom of "hymenoptera, a class of insects
which stings their victims, ir:ijecti~g venom below the
skin surface. A sting from a wasp, bee, hornet, yellow
jacket, or even an ant can be fatal to them in just
minutes.
In the U.S. about 50 deaths are attributed to
hymenoptera stings each year and two million people
receive stings that are life-threatening. For this reason, it
is wise to take precautions in the spring and summer
when insects are active. Some suggestions are:
Go easy with perfume, after-shave or hair spray when
outdoors. Hymenoptera are attracted by the scent.
Don't walk barefoot in the grass.
Cover garbage cans.
Cover meat and sugary foods.
Move slowly and don't swat when insects are around.
If allergic, investigate desensitization shots and vaccines, and wear a medical alert tag so others will know
how to help you if your stung.

Finalists chosen for Spelling Bee
by Diane Davis

TORCH Staff Writer

Is $50 enough incentive to sweat through the mental torture of a spelling bee?
For eight LCC students, it is.
The Second Ruff Spelling Bee will provide an opportunity for student competitors to
display their orthographic prowess in an oral competition to be held May 8 in the Northeast corner of the Cafeteria.
Chuck Ruff, a retired Language Arts instructor who donated $1,000 to LCC in 1985 to
establish the annual spelling bee, will serve as a pronouncer for the competition.
Preliminary rounds began Monday, April 20 with 20 students competing for a shot at
the $50 grand prize, the $35 second place prize, and the $15 third place prize.
Rounds were held in the Study Skills Learning Center, which sponsors the competition. Ten days and three rounds later, eight finalists were announced for the main competition.
The eight finalists are: Sandra Abshere, Virginia Bailey, Barry Crannell, Lucy Johnson,
Katherine Loren, Karen McGuire, Maritza Pettit and Jennifer Rhue.

•Last minute details for graduates

by Kyle Abrams

TORCH Staff Writer

This year's LCC graduation will be held on
Friday June 5, at the Hult Center.
According to Sally Meadow, secretary for
Student Activities, approximately 200 of
LCC's High School Completion students will
graduate with LCC students instead of after
the ceremony, as in previous years. "Also,
for the first time there will be honor cords
available for students earning 3.75 GPA or
over. They can buy them in the bookstore,"
she says.
To file for graduation, students should go
to the Student Records office, Center
Building 210A, and fill out the application.
The $10 application fee pays for the use of the
cap and gown, as well as purchases the
diploma, the diploma binder, and the commencement program.
''If they are transferring any credits from
any other college to apply to the degree from
LCC, they must submit the official copy of
those transcripts to Student Records," adds
Pat Chase of Student Records. Also, students
who want to apply for more than one degree

for this graduation must file everything
together.
Caps and gowns will be available in the
Bookstore during the week of June 1-5, from
9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Students must return
them to the Bookstore the week of June 8-12.
No caps and gowns will be issued or returned
at the Hult Center.
Graduates will need to be at the Hult
Center at 6:15 p.m. to be in time to line up.
The graduation program is as follows:
Processional: Pomp and Circumstance, LCC
Symphonic Band, Edward McManus, Director.
Welcome: Board Chair, Mary Unruh, and
Student Body President, Robert Ward.
Musical Selection: Souvenir de Florence
Allegro Vivace, Tchaikovsky, Op. 70
Commencement Address: Secretary of

Acknowledgement of Graduates: President
Richard M. Turner III.
Presentation of Graduation Awards: President Richard M. Turner III.
Recessional: Masque, LCC Symphonic Band

The money used to open
the new account came from
PTK's general fund. "We
were feeling a little fat, so to
speak,'' says Donn in
reference to the fund's $500
start-up money. The Robin
Hood Fund is not required to
be paid back.
Donn also states that
priorities have been set in
case of numerous applicants
at any one time. Those
needing money to pay for
GED costs would have
priority. "We want to help
the students get the GED
first, because you can't get
ahead in college without the
GED," says Donn. Other

Share garden surplus
with the communit y
by Tracy Anderson

TORCH Staff Writer

For those of you with gardens planted, it's only a matter of
time until you can enjoy fresh, home grown vegetables -- and
maybe, so much produce that it'll run you out of the kitchen.
Why not share the fruits (and vegetables) of your labor with
the community?
Food For Lane County is organizing donations and
distributions for over 30 agencies in the area. Most are in the
form of food boxes and outreach programs to various senior
centers.
According to Caroline Frengle, director of the program, no
donation is too large, too small, or too diverse. "We help a lot
of single parent families, unemployed families, and during
the strike we're helping some teachers. We get everything
qut very quickly to the people who need it."
Try to minimize the time between harvest and donation. As
soon as the vegetables are picked, they slowly begin to age,
affecting flavor, texture, and quality.
Volunteers are needed to assist with distribution.
Volunteer Amy Jackson says there are always things to be
done, from loading cars for delivery and unloading trucks
with shipments, to bagging broccoli and making food
baskets.
The Food For Lane County program is located at 632 Day
Island Rd., near Alton Baker Park, past the community

"Tuition at LCC is a

While expressing some
concern over the proposesd
increase, ASLCC members
did not speak out against the
proposal.
"I'm not going to fight it
because I think it is
reasonable," said ASLCC

President Rob Ward, '' an increase of $11 per term is not
going to discourage anyone
from attending here. I am involved in trying to save key
student services.''
According to Carter, Board
of Education policy mandates that tuition make up 20
percent of the general fund
budget, and the increase is
necessary to maintain that
ratio.

In addition to higher tuition, departments may be offering some classes that are
''self-supporting,'' meaning
that all persons taking that
class will pay tuition, and
that without sufficient enrollment to cover instructional
costs these classes will be
canceled. ''This will enhance
the class offerings, and keep
us from putting a cap on the
number of classes," Carter
told the group.

Titans split with first-place Linn-Benton
by Val Brown

TORCH Sports Editor

The LCC baseball team managed a split with first place
Linn-Benton on Saturday, May 2 to bring the Titan league
standings to 6-12.
In the first contest, Greg Johnson had an outstanding game
giving up only three hits, according to Head Coach Bob
Foster. "That dropped his ERA (earned run average) below
three.''
The Titans, down .by one until the third inning, started off
with Scott Smith's double. Fil Soriano sacrificed to advance
Smith to third. After Linn-Benton walked two batters to load
up the bases, Al Pratt hit a bases-loaded single to score
Smith.
The Linn-Benton pitching staff gave up three more unearned runs: Matt Montgomery was hit by a pitch, and one run
came home. Pratt advanced to third on a fielder's choice,
then scored on a wild pitch. Titans won, 4-1.
"We played good defense, but still didn't hit well," says
Foster.
In a heartbreaking second game, the Linn-Benton Roadrunners scored two runs in the seventh inning, chalking up one
more run than the Titans, and scraped up a 3-2 victory.

In the first inning, the Titans scored twice -- first on a passed ball, then on a long fly.
The roof caved in on the Titans in the seventh. LinnBenton turned a single into a stolen base. A Titan error allowed runners to advance to second and third, and then LinnBenton successfully bunted the runners around -- despite
LCC' s efforts to choke off the runner advancing from third.
Lane watched a pinch hitter take a Kyle Tucker pitch deep
in the park. But since the pinch hitter was ruled an illegal
substitute, the hit was nullified. When the next legal hitter
powered a two-out base hit, Foster brought in Steve
Copeland to replace Tucker. Copeland struck out the next
batter.

Linfield

TORCH Sports Editor

The Titans were back in action at home on May 3 with
the Linfield Junior Varsity
team. ''We played some kids
that haven't played a lot this
year," says Bob Foster, head
coach for the Titans.
In a first inning injury,
Steve Copeland had to be
taken from the game and Al
Pratt came in to pitch the
Titans to a extra-inning
defeat.
Lane, down 6-2, tied up
the game in the seventh inning with the help of Linfield
errors that allowed Titans on
base. Rod Johnson hit his
first home run of the year,
going 3-4 at the plate with a
double, single and the home
run.

Something
smells fishy

by Val Brown

TORCH Sports Editor

Last Saturday, rainy as it was, wasn't the best of
days to go fishing. But two weeks before (on opening
weekend), even though the weather was great, the
fish weren't biting.
However, the mosquitoes were!
Not that I had a rotten time, but someone upstairs
(I don't mean the fourth floor of the Center Building
either) was trying to tell me that I should have been
doing something other than fishing.
Well, I was. I wasn't my usual "eager beaver" self . .
Heck, I didn't even care if my line got wet.
I enjoyed seeing all the natural beauty that Salmon
Creek, outside of Oakridge, provides. Wildflowers,
and wild life, including the wild kids.
Aside from having to rig up my pole before beginning, my reel decided to play wrap-around-the-bail
every time I went to cast out.
And rigging up was a real struggle. My less-thannimble fingers finally tied the swivel in place. But
then there was the sinker just waiting to give me
trouble. When I dropped the sinker, of course it
wedged snuggly between two rocks, so I made a second trip back to the tackle box.
With the sinker in place and the hook baited, I
began my quest.
Well, almost.
Before I could seriously begin, I had to fish my line
out of the tree behind me.
Once in the water, my line hooked into a fighting
whopper. I struggled. My excitement grew. I managed to land a huge, 10-inch, water-logged stick.
"Well," I thought to myself, "At least the dog will
have something to take home.''
With my next cast the line unwound and wrapped
around my bail -- again.
After untangling my mess I didn't get another bite.
Well, except for the pesky mosquitoes.
Oh well,the day wasn't a total loss. To appease the
wild kids, we brought home the water-logged stick
and some flora and fauna. But best of all, Dairy
Queen was on the way home, and the ice_ cream

"We had too many stupid
errors that cost us," says
Foster. "An error in the outfield, a ball went through the
guy's legs and the runner
goes to second."
Foster also added that five
of the Linfield runs were
unearned.
In game two the Titans
managed to pull ahead of
Linfield, out-hitting them
8-3, chalking up six runs.
Pitcher Matt Montgomery
threw the first five innings,
"He wasn't real sharp, but
he held them to two hits,"
says Foster. Andy Johnson
came in for relief in the sixth
inning, giving up only one
hit. He also shut out Linfield.
Johnson came through
with two hits and two RBI,
and Charlie Keady added
two hits as the Titans stayed
pretty much in control.
Lane, now 11-21 overall,
will host Mount Hood on
Saturday May 9, at 1 p.m.
The Titans will be home on
Tuesday, May 12, when they
host Clackamas.

Bar etiquette helps good tiines._. roll
bv J.V. Bolkan

T6RCH Staff Writer

Nightclubs are great places
to drink, dance, and meet
people -- but only if you
know the rules.
Unfortunately, many people are ignorant when it
comes to proper bar
behavior. The following are
guidelines for customer bar
etiquette:
• ''The law says you must
have identification at all
times," says Cat Colley,
manager of the Fir Lounge at
Eugene's Holiday Inn
"You must be able to prove
you're over 21. It doesn't
matter if you' re 25, 35, or
even 65; you must have valid
ID."
Fake ID is risky. Not only
can employees confiscate any
ID that seems questionable,
but they can have a person
attempting to pass that ID arrested. Rann Montgomery,
relief doorman and cocktail
server at the Fir Lounge,
believes that fewer than two
percent of those who try to
pass fake ID succeed.
Since it is often difficult to
guess a person's age,
especially in a dark bar,
anyone is likely to be asked
to provide proof of age. Be
prepared, and be courteous.
• Once in the lounge,
courtesy should not stop. ''I
wish people would stop
(cocktail
us
treating
waitresses) like sleaze bags.
We're doing a job -- we're
not here for them to treat us
like chunks of meat,'' says
Cindy, a waitress at the Holiday Inn who prefers to keep
her last name private.
• Tips are not mandatory,
but servers do depend largely on income derived from
tips. While many servers

Page 12 The TORCH

claim that no one will get
poor service due to insufficient tipping, they agree that
tippers do get better service.
• Daniel Flynn, a doorman
at Confetti's Lounge at the
Shilo Inn, says "Don't start a
hassle in a bar. It is not worth
it. The best thing that will
happen to an obnoxious
patron is a quick exit from
the establishment, often
referred to as an '86'."
Remember, if you get
drunk enough to want to
fight, you're probably too
drunk to fight. "There are
guys that want to take on the
world, when they can hardly
stand up. They don't particularly scare me,'' laughs
Geoff Campbell, hotel security for the Holiday Inn.
Chris Sexton plays in a
travelling rock band, and has
seen bars all up and down
the West Coast. "People
here (Eugene) seem a little
quieter than elsewhere, and
the bouncers are fewer and
less noticeable. However,
some guy did get thrown
through a window here. I
hear it was the bouncer that

threw him."
• Getting thrown through
windows can be avoided -simply do not drink past
your limit. A bartender who
wishes to remain anonymous
claims that "Sociologically,
there is a problem with the
younger crowd. They see
movies like Animal House,
and think that that is acceptable behavior.''

• If you are cut off from
drinking, it will do no good
to argue. Since the fifth sign
of intoxication is denial of intoxication, there is no way to
win your case. "Cut-offs are
never reversed. I don't care if
your Mom just died, when
you hit that third sign, you
are cut off. I don't want you
on the road killing my first
born,'' says Colley.

Any bar in town would be
glad to call a taxi. The expense is minimal -- especially
weighed against the risks.
Oregon has very strict laws,
and the legal alchohol level is
reached quickly.
Next time you decide to
spend an evening on the
town, use common sense,
and common courtesy. The
professionals who keep the
good times rolling would appreciate it.

tgomery. ''I have to drive
home at night. My friends
are on the roads . Your
friends are on the roads. Be
moderate in everything.''

All lounge employees in
Oregon are required to
recognize the five signs of
visible intoxication. They are:
staggering, loss of vision
(blurred, glassy eyes), slurred speech, loss of coordination, and denial of intoxication. According to Colley, ''If
you show two of the signs,
we watch you closely. When
you show the third, we cut
you off. If you try to drink in
our bar within 24 hours, we
can have you arrested."
• Everyone agrees: If you
do get drunk, don't drive.
"Slow down. Enjoy what
you have,'' says Mon-

Dan LaMarche
Now more than ever. Lane Community College needs a strong, loud, and effective student voice. The
proposed computer system is but one example of a serious lack of communicationfrom our Administration,
and insensitivity to our needs. How can this be a priority in a time when LCC must cut 2 to 3 million dollars
from its budget! We face losing teachers, staff, programs, and serviceslike the Career InformationCenter, the
Multi-Cultural Center, the Mobile Classroom, and many others.
As an ASLCC Senator and Chair of the Financial Aid Action Committee I have fought to protect student
interests on a local, state and natona! level. 1 saw you. the students, write over 100 letters and sign 1300
signatures protesting cuts in financial aid. We have received positive acclaim from local, state, and national
leaders, for our high level of student concern and participation.
- As President of the Associated Students of LCC . 1 will continue to build the strength and integrity of stu
dent government in its role as your voice, your amplifier.
I chose Joanna Russel! as my running mate because she has shown the enthusiasm, the concern, the sen
sitivity. and the ability to be a successful student leader. She and those who share her attributes are the core of
an effective team, the power behind positive results. Together we will make the difference between success
and failure in addressing student concerns.
1 am dedicated to this challenge.

Joanna Russell
LCC is facing a profound challenge in the coming year. As a single parent, student, and Assistant Director
of the Student Resource Center, I have worked efficiently and unitedly alongside talented SRC staff members

- securing positive results regarding recent student issues, including student aid and child care.
I have received the guidance and the support needed to pursue the office of ASLCC Vice President - not
only from my fellow students, but also from experienced, proven, and qualified ASLCC Presidential candidate. Senator Dan LaMarche. 1 accept this invitation as a challenge, a duty, and an honor to represent LCC

students. Dan and 1 will effectively head student government by protecting student services- by maintaining a
continuous open-line, a “green light” signaling a responsive and sensitive student government. And by empowering you, the worthy Associated Students of Lane Community College with student participation and
recognition in student government and administrative decisions affecting our campus. Together we will make

the difference.

Jeff Moisan
President

Billie Rendal
Vice President

Jeff Moisan
My name is Jeff Moisan and I’m running for Student Body President. For the past two years I have been
the Vice President, serving under Serena Brooks and F?ob Ward, respectively. I have served on various committees such as; Instructional Goals and Priorities, Academic Council, Faculty Evaluations, Student Reten
tion. and President’s Cabinet. I have also served as the Grievance Officer, being a liaison between students
with complaints and the Administration. I feel my experience has given me a thorough knowledge of LCC
and I have made contact with people on campus who can help the ASLCC effect its policies. Next year, Billie
Rendal and I plan to work on and continue to develop these programs: Childcare (computerized referral

system), Single parent issues, continued involvement with Financial Aid allocations, surplus food give-aways,
expanded information distribution through the use of electronic readerboards, expanded use of the newly ac
quired ASLCC computer, and strong involvement with State and national student organizations. Vote for ex-

perienced leadership! Moisan and Rendal.

Billie Rendal
As Student Resource Center Director I have instituted the House-share program, updated the bulletin
boards and recycling programs, and refurnished the SRC lounge. While an Executive Cabinet member I have
worked for child care issues by speaking before the Oregon Legislative Assembly, obtained sponsorship for a
childcare co-op during the 4J strike, participated in the Financial Aid Action Committee, and written fre
quently for the Torch. To establish a forum for many diverse viewpoints 1 have participated in founding FRI
DAY FORUM, which presents various social issues. The specific points of Jeff Moisan’s and my platform are;
1. Student childcare issues and a computerized childcare referral system.
2. To act as an advocate for single parent issues on campus.
3. Continued advocacy of financial aid issues.
4. Effective management of the surplus cheese give-away program,
5.Expanded use of the ASLCC Legal Services computer.
6. Wider disemmination of information through using the ASLCC readerboards.

7. Strong involvement with state and national student associations.
My hopes are to continue assisting students, using the leadership skills I have gained as a member of the

Executive Cabinet of student government.

Heidi Von Ravensberg
1 am a Business major at LCC. and I would like an opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge I have
gained here to the office of Treasurer. My past year in the ASLCC Senate has been exciting and the next year
as your Treasurer will be even more so. Thank you and vote for me. Heidi von Ravensburg.

Candidates for Senators
(Vote for nine ASLCC Senators.)

Daniel Dennis Bartolini
I am running for the position of Senator of the ASLCC not only to actively participate in our school govern
ment, but to uphold the Lane tradition of excellence in our community.

Carol Brock
Simply staled, my reasons for running are I would like to be more involved with helping other students and
representing them through student government.

Debra Chambers
I would like to see more people involved in ASLCC. One of our major problems at LCC is that a lot of peo
ple seem to walk around this campus with blinders on, not seeing what is happening around them. 1 would
like to see awareness and involvement increase 150 percent.
I have been a Senator this past year and would like to continue in this position and work on issues that af
fect the student body.
I worked on the Financial Aid Action Committee and would really like to continue where we left off. Dan
La Marche and Joanna Russell have the experience and the qualifications to continue this important task.
I feel that the Board members need to hear what we as students need to say with the budget freeze and
waste spending. We need to get involved. LCC is for the students not the Board.

David Donn
My Platform is simple. I have no hidden agenda. 1 believe that all students, regardless of rank or tenure, are
entitled to a fair shake. 1 dedicate myself to the student body and I will provide fair and equal representation
to all. I further pledge to provide my assistance to any and all students engaged in worthy endeavor.

Regina F. Dumont
1 have enjoyed serving the LCC Student body during my two terms as a Senator. 1 have received valuable
experience in the Senate with hard work and by supporting an organized and united student government. 1
would like to continue representing you. the Associated Students of Lane Community College this coming
school year. Please vote for me, Regina F, Dumont, for Senator.

Michael K. Stewart
I will keep abreast of the policies and issues that affect the general student body and attempt to act as a link
between the student body and the administrative policies and procedures of LCC. I fully support candidates
Dan LaMarctie for President and Joanna F^ussell for Vice President because they will attend to the issues

cur

rently affecting the student body instead of making idle promises and standing on their past academic

achievements.

Victoria Ann Varble
1 want to voice the opinions and vote for single parents, especially single mothers returning to school. 1
have been a volunteer and was a resident of Womanspace, our shelter in Lane County , serving the needs of
abused women and children. I participated in the 3rd National Conference sponsored by the National Coali
tion Against Domestic Violence, shared the regional representative seat on the Oregon Coalition Against
Domestic and.Sexual Violence, actively worked with a community support group committed to staying out of
abusive relationships, and am currently a full time student on campus. In all my endeavors I seek to make
women aware of our options in society today. Holding a Senate seat will allow me to actively participate in
our democratic process. 1 believe you can’t beat a woman, but you can vote for one.
