LANE COMMUNITY COLLEGE IIIIIJ ~%1f.%¾''"'~~~11111ll·••r.■Y :·· I !1i VOL.22, N0.27 MAY22 , 198 7 Budget Committee approves spending plan by Lois Grammon either," added Perry. LCC' s Budget Committee voted unanimously to recommend the adoption of a $52,770,112 budget for the 1987-88 school year at the meeting Wednesday, May 20. Unless the continuing downward spiral in student enrollment is reversed, more reductions may be necessary next year. Yet there may not be places available to cut next year, said Gary Parrish, Budget Committee chair. TORCH Associate Editor ''The amount has not changed since the time we started,'' reminded Board Member Larry Perry, although some shifting was done to accommodate the budget subcommittees' recommendations (see related story, page 4). A Board Meeting is scheduled for June 17 to vote on the recommendations. To balance the new budget, which is effective July 1, the document includes cuts in working capital, jobs, and maintenance, amounting to 2.2 million. A total of 65 jobs will remain vacant and 36 college employees face layoffs as a result. LCC Board member Larry Perry makes a point. But, if the action is not taken now, "this board's budget committee would not be viewed as very responsible," commented Board Member Charlene Curry. "I'm not liking it, and nobody else is Colkge's image surveyed by Robert Wolfe TORCH Lead Reporter About 33 percent of local residents plan to take a class or use a service offered at LCC within the next three years, according to a recently completed survey. The Community Perception and Needs Survey, administered by local market research firm Watson and Associates, questioned 400 area residents to '' assess how aware the community is of LCC, what people think of LCC, and what they want from LCC, '' according to Diane Dann, who coordinates the college's marketing program. The results will be used to identify specific groups of people and their needs, and better assess how to communicate with the community, she says. Dann and Director of Institutional Research, Planning and Program Evaluation Julie Aspinwall- Lamberts have developed a list of ten reccomendations for using the results in planning and marketing efforts. The reccomendations are being forwarded to the President's Cabinet, says Dann. Among questions posed to the interviewees were: • Have you attended a class or used a service provided by LCC in the last 5 years? (Yes, 33 percent). • Where did you get your information about LCC? (Mail, 43 percent). • What are your reasons for taking a class? (Personal interest, 44.7 percent). Peace, music, harmony jpage 4 Typical future students, according to the results, will be mostly female adults between 25 and 49 years old, probably with some college backround, who are not interested in receiving college credit. A section designed to measure community awareness of LCC services ranked the Multicultural Center last of 16 choices, with less than 30 percent of those questioned knowing that it existed. The center was followed closely by the Cottage Grove Campus, the Florence Campus, and the Women's Center. The $4,700 study was chosen as a less costly alternative to a more comprehensee Survey, page 5 Reductions made in previous years and in the current budget have reduced many essential services and eliminated whole departments. Parrish added that the Budget Committee should be informed earlier about the college's financial issues and problems, to allow for adequate time to make the necessary decisions. The committee also discussed asking voters to approve a property tax levy or new tax base, which could restore some of the positions cut in the budget and relieve some of the short term financial problems. One possible source of revenue could be increased income from investments, if the rate of return continues in an upward trend. This could result in another $25,000, above the amount projected in the current budget. Work-Study ends by Kelli J. Ray TORCH Editor Work-Study students won't be paid for any hours worked after May 29, due to a shortage in funds. "In College Work-Study we do our best to fully utilize our funds. In an attempt to do this, we over-commit our awards, realizing that some of those awarded will not sign up for jobs and others will not use their award to the fullest," says a memo sent to LCC CWS supervisors from Linda Waddell, director of Financial Aid, and Becky Newcombe, College Work-Study specialist. "This process is not an exact science, and on rare occasion, we have found ourselves in a position of having over-commited our funds," says the memo. According to Waddell, if hours are turned in after May 29, the individual departments employing CWS students are responsible for funding those hours. This is the second time this year that LCC students' financial aid has been cut due to the overcommitment of funds. At the beginning of Spring Term, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants were cut 28 percent. Heads in the clouds She's so unreal! page 8 page 12 Questions, questions, and more questions forum by Rob Ward ASLCC President Why does a student on financial aid have to show academic progress, while Ronald Reagen gets paid $200,000 a year to be forgetful? Why is abortion considered murder, but killing full-grown Nicaraguans considered freedom fighting? Why does God punish homosexuals by giving them AIDS, while rewarding hypocritical heterosexual evangelists with a $5 million a year tax-free income? Why is it so easy to produce nuclear waste, but so hard to find a place to bury it? Why is it so easy to invade Grenada and bomb Libya, but so hard to have New Zealand tell us to take our nukes and shove them? Why is it so easy to condemn communist Russia, yet so hard to condemn fascist Chile? Why does a man who robs Safeway of a $100 to feed his family get put in jail, while inside-traders who bilk customers out of millions in the stock market get slapped on the wrists? Why do celebrities tell us to say "no" to cocaine in one commercial, then "yes" to beer and wine-coolers in another? Why do we profess to love children, yet make it hard for single-parents to provide food, shelter, and health care for them? Why is a person considered a criminal for bombing an ROTC building, yet considered a hero for bombing an aborton clinic? Why do we spend billions on Star Wars (SDI), something which can't work, and cut billions from education, something which does work? Why is it so hard to close down the Trojan Nuclear Plant, yet so easy to close down schools? Why is LCC' s student government denied use of the Heceta House because it isn't an educational entity, yet Labatt's Brewing Company can film beer commercials there? Why is it that so many people have 20-20 vision, yet still walk around blind? Why, with so much history to look back on, do we still look to the future with tunnel vision? Rejected candidate questions selection process forum by Lois Grammon Fountain LCC Student On Wednesday evening, the Media Commission sent some unfortunate messages to all journalists who may be potential TORCH staffers, as well as to the greater LCC community: Sacrifice, hard work, and dedication are not rewarded at the TORCH. They might just brand a person as being " too intense," whatever that means. High standards will get you nowhere; just take it easy, learn to let it slide like the best of them. And never, never find glaring mistakes during the last few minutes of production, even if they're libelous. It might make you unpopular, because some of the staff just wants to get home. Well adjusted and gay To the Editor: I am gay and happy! No, this is not contradictory. Above and beyond my sexual orientation though, I am a spiritual and emotional being. I go to school, I work, and I'm on the Board of Directors in my church, which by the way, has a positive outreach to the gay community . For the most part, I think of myself as a fairly welladjusted human being, who has quite a few good friends (both gay and straight) who are for the most part also well-adjusted. My heart goes out to the woman who wrote "Thank-you Uncle" in the May 15 issue of the TORCH. I hope that someday you will be truly happy with your place in the universe. I am glad that you have found soPage 2 The TORCH And say, did you know that preparatory classes and experience don't really matter? Personal style and making the right people feel good counts. If taking the necessary steps to become prepared for a job results in overqualification, why bother with sweating it out? Take the easy way out -- learn how to make friends and influence people. Applying for a postion on the TORCH? Better forget it if you happen to contract a serious illness. Someday it may be held against you. Most importantly, if unsubstantiated allegations, hearsay, and subjective feelings could possibly determine the outcome of a decision by the Media Commission, how effective are the of- ficial guidelines? Does the LCC Board of Education really want an editor covering its meetings who has never before sat in an executive session or board meeting, and who has no background in media law? Does the Media Commission really feel comfortable with appointing someone to the editorship who has not taken the time to learn all the necessary skills? Remember, it's important to consider who might benefit most by editing the TORCH. So forget that in most jobs, some people actually think it's better to be prepared before taking on such a responsibility. Next year, how will the rest of the TORCH staff like to take up the slack while the editor has to make-do with on-the-job training in the newspaper basics? And most of all, why didn't the people who now accuse me of being a poor writer and not getting along with people have the guts and courage of their convic, tions to come forward at the time? I have never been given any indication by my employers or advisors that they were unhappy with the quality of my overall job performance, and there have never been formal accusations made against me. Yet they've had one whole year. Can there be any purpose in waiting until now? Are we here to learn and to help each other, or are we here to learn how to advance our careers and take care of our own concerns at the expense of others? meone that can love you and to whom you in turn can give love. That is something that we all strive for. I have read all of the letters in the TORCH which pertain to gay rights and AIDS. There is so much anger on both sides of these issues and this distresses me deeply. It is my dream that someday we can all live on this planet together in peace. Shall we as a people set this as a reachable goal? naturally be present. This would likely be identifiable by scientists. To date, no hormonal difference has been identified. In other words, no study has ever been replicated to show homosexuality was due to hormones. Genetics doesn't play any factor either. If it did, the gene( s) responsible for homosexuality would have disappeared long ago, thanks to natural selection. A fundamental law of nature is that any trait which interferes with reproduction is lethal to those who share that trait. If genes had anything to do with homosexual orientation, then all possesing that gene would have had so few children that the trait wouldn't have lasted long. People who have come out of homosexuality are the living proof that·biology isn't a crucial factor. One can change from a homosexual orientation to heterosexual, but biological characteristics will remain the same. As long as the debate over homosexuality, the law, and public health continues, let's not cloud the issue by speakjng as if anyone is born homosexual -- in the same way one is born white or female. This is a social issue and not an issue of innate predispositions. Jennifer LCC Student Gays aren't predisposed To the Editor: I have a hard time believing some people are ''born'' homosexual. Let me explain why.

Or, is it okay to pick and choose? If so, is the college really comfortable with the message that is inevitably conveyed by favoritism? Does the TORCH really want this reputation? Remember this next year at the same time, fellow TORCHIES. Then it may be your turn. I'm not asking for friends to support me, but for those who know me to support idealism and ethical principles.

Self-support classes begin Summ er Turmoil, by Lois Grammon TORCH Associate Editor In an effort to provide a greater variety of classes in the midst of budget cuts, the LCC administration has announced that some classes will be offered on a self-support basis beginning Summer Term. A "self-support" class is one that will pay for itself entirely from student tuition and • fees, according to the 1987-88 Budget Document. These classes will be open to part-time students, and to full-time students who elect to pay the additional tuition and fees, above tuition charged for full-time enrollment. Cost per credit hour will be the same as for other classes . In addition, each class so designated will depend on a minimum enrollment, which will probably average between 20-25 students, depending on the cost for each class. ''If the classes do not fill, then we would have to cancel; but we do that anyway. The class has to pay for itself,'' says Vice President of Instruction Jacquee Belcher, who will be responsible for the administration of the self-support classes. Summer Term wili"be a trial period for the self-support course offerings, which will include both credit and non-credit classes. Ten departments are offering the classes, according to the summer schedule. The classes include, but may not be limited to, the following sections: Microcompu ting, Business Communicatio ns, Principles of Accounting, Medical Terminology, Medical Transcription, Sculpture, Ceramics, Jogging, Yoga, Dance Aerobics, Conditioning, Jazz Dance, Nutrition, Career and Life Planning, Introduction to Assertive Behavior, Coping With Stress and Depression, Beginning Photography, Shooting Video, Group Guitar, Studies in Theatre, Earth Science -Gardening, Priciples of Economics, History of Western Civilization, Changing Cultures, General Psychology, and General Sociology. "Self-support is not going to make up our regular schedule at all," but will be in addition to, and not in place of, regular classes funded by the department's base budget, says Belcher. Most of the self-support classes will be taught by part-time instructors, rather than contracted faculty, according to Belcher. It will be on a voluntary basis. May 22, 1987 Contracted faculty members are guaranteed a specific number of hours, and so would be unable to teach self-supporting classes as part of a regular workload. However, each faculty member is contractually allowed to teach one course as an overload, above a full-time class schedule. The instructor's salary for these classes will not be budgeted by the college. ''That's all we're trying to cover. We're not trying to take care of materials, chalk, lights, and other overhead costs. That's not unreasonable for a variety of classes," Belcher says. "If we have self-support classes, it's only our imagination that limits us," adds Belcher, who admits that some of the managers and staff at LCC are still ttncornfortable with the concept. "I'm comfortable with it, because I've worked with it before. They've got to look this strange beast over, turn it around, upside down, and begin to get creative with it. So, it won't realize its full potential until probably a year from now. ''If we need 15 sections of English 121, '' but only have enough money in the general fund budget for 13 sections, says Belcher, "we could offer two sections as selfsupport.'' When a class section sponsored by the general fund fills up, each department will keep track of additional students who wish to take the course. It may then be offered in another time-slot as a self-supporting class, if a sufficient number of students wish to take it. Each department will also determine the deadlines for registering for the self-support classes, says Bill Porter, assistant to the vice president of Instruction. If a self-support class fails to enroll enough students, it will be left to each department to determine when to cancel the course, he adds. At the May 14 Board Meeting, several board members brought up concerns about any potential problems with the program, including: • Inconvenience for students and instructors when courses are dropped due to low enrollment one or two weeks into the term. • Difficulty in determining financial aid for those students taking one or more selfsupport classes beyond a full course load. • Additional costs for students who take the classes out of necessity. frompage2 _ _ __ pregnancy help in the woman's healing process? Wouldn't an abortion make things easier for her? Not necessarily. Jackie Bakker was raped and was one of the very few women who consequently became pregnant (less than one per cent of rapes result in pregnancy). She chose abortion under pressure from her family, which thought it would alleviate her problems. It instead created more problems. "Contrary to what everyone had told me, the abortion was much harder to deal with than the rape . . . . The damage done is much more severe than people realize. Physically, of course, a little child is ripped away from its mother's womb. But emotionally, I'm convinced there is already a bonding between mother and child, and it's as if a part of your own soul is torn away.'' Kay Zibolsky also was raped, and also became pregnant. While abortion appeared to be a convenient way out, she chose adoption for her baby and now says, " .. .I'm at peace knowing I chose what was easiest for me.'' (Both cases are from AMERICANS AGAINST ABORTION magazine, Summer 1986 issue.) Tranquillity versus turmoil: In case of rape, abortion does not always lessen the trauma incurred, it can produce more. And if abortion is not a painless solution for rape victims, is it for women in less extreme circumstances? Is it really an answer at all?

'c1d'i by Diane Davis TORCH Staff Writer The one-year anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion was observed on April 26. According to the New York Times, "Officials have said the reactor will remain entombed for centuries, until the fuel element decays." During that same month in 1986, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of radiation in the processing of fruits, vegetables and fresh pork. Would you like to eat irradiated foods? As an Oregon resident you might have already. According to an August 1986 article in U.S. News and World Report, "Sometime this fall, in a limited-market test of consumer acceptance, a few stores will begin selling radiation-treated potatoes or onions in the Pacific Northwest. The industry will keep locations secret for fear of protesters." Such secrecy is possible through inconsistant FDA regulations on labeling of irradiated foods. Yet, the use of radiation has drawn more mail from worried consumers than any issue in recent times. Opponents argue that tests performed on laboratory animals are inconclusive, ana the jury is still out as to whether or not irradiation changes the color, taste, nutritive value, and vitamin content of food. Aside from the health aspect, there is a potential problem with shipping irradiated materials, as well as a significant threat that workers in processing plants could be exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. Dr. John W. Gofman writes in his book Radiation and Human Health, "No one seriously doubts the overwhelming evidence that ionizing radiation causes a wide variety of injuries to the health of human beings. Many of these injuries either are fatal or guarantee a life of misery.'' Yet, former Secretary of Health and Human Services Margaret M. Heckler says, "This is an important step forward for consumers . . . a proven, safe method to protect fresh fruits and vegetables from insects and to inhibit spoilage and extend shelf life." To quote Frank Murray in the January 1987 issue of Better Nutrition, "The fact that the Chernobyl plant will be entombed for centuries illustrates vividly the problem we face with excessive radiation. And the irradiation of food just adds that much more concern." If you're interested in avoiding irradiated foods, shop at a health food store, where these food are certainly not welcome. Try to buy fruits and vegetables, pork, and other potentially irradiated foods from a local source, and ask your grocer questions as to whether products are irradiated or not.

Since 1980-81, enrollment at LCC has dropped more than the full time equivalent (FTE) of 2,000 students, from a high of 9,520. As he was introduced, Buch said ''I wish I had easy solutions that I could package and sell to you.'' According to him, the U of 0 didn't have enough money to meet all their expenses due to the drop in revenue, and "was waiting for customers -- the public -to come to them.'' One of the first steps the university took was to reinforce its name and identity in the public eye. Next, the effort focused on retention and recruitment. "We took a gamble" and put the money in those areas, because "we had no choice," said Buch. Staff members in admissions, orientation, and retention were diverted from other areas, and the university doubled its efforts to recruit more students. Money allocated for marketing jumped from $25,000 to $200,000. Now the U of O has more than gained back the students lost, and may consider limiting enrollment. At LCC, President Turner for $9,000 budgeted marketing in 1986. "We now realize how serious the need for marketing is,'' said Turner. The previous administration did not consider that it would be an effective financial stategy, according to Turner. The new budget includes $25,000 for marketing. Other possible marketing strategies mentioned at the meeting included instituting a heavy grant system to help generate FTE and keep students from leaving for outside schools. Next week will be the last issue of the TORCH until next fall.

''I am a dedicated, loyal and hardworking and, as editor, will maintain the high quality set by my predecessors at the TORCH.'' by Kelli J. Ray TORCH Editor Gail Diane Davis, a 30-year-old LCC journalism student, will edit the TORCH next year. Davis, currently a TORCH staff writer, competed against three other applicants for the 1987-88 position. The application process included submitting a written essay and samples of previous work to the 17-member LCC Media Commission, as well as conducting individual interviews with each member. The commission made its final selection after conducting a group interview with each candidate. Applicants questions answered prepared by the entire committee, and after interviewing each candidate, the committee members cast private ballots. ''I'm honored to have been chosen from so many good candidates, and am excited about next year," said Davis later. In the essay she prepared for the Media Commission, Davis explained that she began her journalism career in high school, when she worked as a feature editor for her high school paper. After May 22,1987 Diane Davis school and on weekends, she applied for a position with the local paper, and was employed as a switchboard operater.

Siporin says the sounds of the piano really made the piece work. "It was a very beautiful story.'' Siporin is definitely a worthy and accomplished writer and researcher even without the awards. His ability to stay on top of developing or underdeveloped ideas just by keeping his, "eyes and ears open at all times," supplies him with more than enough intriguing potential national news information. He frequently sends a lot of his material to the National Public Radio station in Washington, D. C., and as a matter of fact he has a soonto-air story about the Yew tree. The tree, native to the Pacific Northwest, holds a possible cure to cancer in its bark. Siporin says the news concept includes local interest as well as controversy, since environmentalists want !o protect the trees. In addition to working at KLCC, ''I spend more than 50 percent of my time freelancing, which doubles the work load" and the cash flow, says Siporin. Survey,from page 1 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ sive Community Needs Assesment Survey (CNAS), according to Julie AspinwallLambert, Director of Institutional Planning, Research and Evaluation. The last CNAS was completed in 1979 at a much greater cost -and surveyed several thousand people with more specific questions regarding the types of classes and the times of day that they are offered, Aspinwall-Lamberts said. The smaller survey is an example of the '' mosaic approach'' of data gathering, says Brown. This means compiling data from many sources which, over time, will provide a clear picture of needs, he explained. Other aspects of the ''mosaic approach'' include a recently completed questionnaire of current students, an ongoing comprehensive program review and a survey last summer term of students who applied, as well as those who applied but did not attend classes. Another source of data on community needs could be the recently approved computer registration system, which will count the number of students attempting to register for each class. It all adds up to comfort.

Hayes Design by Mikayle Estrada A group of students obediently tags behind Shan Titus as she leads them around the LCC campus. Since most high school age kids are highly skilled at turning out lecture material, Titus knows an actual tour of the school can be a most effective way of getting them to understand the academic and financial benefits of a community college. The 16 and 17 year olds follow Titus as she weaves them through the various classrooms and buildings. Shan (pronounced Shawn) Titus knows that her job as LCC's High School Relations Coordinator isn't always appreciated by those who are supposed to be the direct beneficiaries of her services. '' Sometimes the kids are rude and they don't want to hear what I have to say," she admits. But she also knows not to take criticism personally. "I see this as_a long range project. Even if those people don't enroll when they're 18, they may later.'' As the group of students continue its tour, Titus enters the Aviation Technology Building and suddenly the adolescent gossip comes to a halt. The sight of the various aircraft creates a stir among the group. Titus purposely takes the younger groups to this area because she knows that most of them are curious about seeing the airplanes up close. Since she leads tours whose members might be 5-year-old kindergarten students or senior citizens who are just curious about the school, Titus has learned which areas are the most appealing. "The Aviation program is almost always a favorite spot. Most groups also like to see KLCC and the television station,'' she says. Titus, whether intentionally or not, also adjusts her vocabulary level to appeal to the age of of the tour participants. When speaking to the group of High school students, she was comfortable using less formal diction to stress the flexibility of academics available at LCC.

Upon entering the gym complex, one girl, who was clutching a Pee-Chee transcribed with the names of 15 or 16 men, was amazed at the weight-training room. After making a sideremark about some of the physiques on display, she admitted that she was completely ignorant of the location of the facilities. She also vowed to make a return appearance. With the population of college-bound 18 year olds steadily declining, colleges are competing fiercely to recruit. students. While state schools and private universities spend substantial budgets to send out full-color catalogs, slickpapered recruiting literature and scholarship offers to any potential student, LCC does not have the revenue that's required for this type of promotional kit. However, last year LCC began to step up its effort to attract younger students. With enrollment continuing to decline, the 18 year old is becoming a valuable commodity. This year, Titus was able to hire Ginger Yamamoto to assist her. A new computer program, known as CAMELOT, has also been added to the department. It stores within its electromagnetic memory, the names and addresses of Oregon high school students who might contemplate attending college after graduation. The names come from various sources, including the Department of Motor Vehicles which provides a list of 15 to 18 year old drivers. With this list, Titus and Yamamoto send personal letters to any student who has in some way expressed their interest in LCC or in a program that the school of- tached to two-year schools that seem to say to high school students, "Community colleges aren't 'real' schools." ''My challenge is to combat the sometimes negative attitude students have about two year schools," Titus says. Besides organizing tours of the campus, Titus regularly visits Lane County high schools giving slide shows, answering questions and meetinP. with counselors and teachers at the schools. 'Some high school groups are more receptive to what I have to say, but the more scholastic students often feel no need for a community college.'' There are basically four points Titus stresses to groups that she speaks to. LCC has a friendly, supportive air about it; the classes are usually smaller than what one might find at a larger institution; there is a wide variety of vocational and transferable classes and the fact that attending LCC for two years will typically cost less than one term at Princeton. As the group from McKenzie finishes its excursion, Yamamoto leads the students back to the Admissions office to meet up with Titus. Even though he seems to be more interested in where his next meal will come from, the only senior male of the group takes off his green jacket and hangs it over the back of a chair. He then sits down and picks up an admissions application and begins to fill it out. His friends, both juniors, ask if they can apply too. They seem rather disappointed when they find out they can't. fers. LastyearLCCput\ .~ ~ out a full color brochure to attract new students.

May 22,1987 Reaching out to grab the gold Lance Lehne practices some of his favorite events. ._,,,,m I !lin t by J.V. Bolkan Sean Elliot Design by Leslie Braznell TORCH Staff Writer Lance Lehne is weak, inexperienced, small, and unschooled in the techniques of track and field. On the other hand, he's also the leading scorer for the Titan track team, specializing in the discus and shot put. He's one of the best in the community college ranks. And this is only his first year. Last year, at tiny Bonanza High School in Southern Oregon, Lehne had no track coach, a limited weight training room, and no competition. So he coached himself. He trained himself. And he captured state championships in both the shot put and discus while finishing second in the 110-meter high hurdles. But that was single-A high school competition. Sherry Tyree, a Bonanza High School classmate who also attends Lane, has known Lehne for eight years. This year, she says, Lehne is like a kid in a candy store. ''He has so much energy, so much desire. He has the stuff offered to him here -- weight classes and coaching. Back home there was nothing. They never opened the gym for someone to lift weights. Here he has the opportunity.'' He's added 25 pounds of muscle since beginning serious weight training only last term. But his improvements in strength are not as important as his improvements in technique. Although he recieved many college scholarship offers, he says he chose LCC due to the exceptional coaching and training facilities available. "I'm going to stay here next year, no matter what. I'm the only men's thrower here. I get a lot of attention from the coaches." Attention is something that comes naturally to athletes having the type of seasons Lehne is enjoying. He's cracked the LCC all-time top five list in both the discus (146'9-1/2"') and the shot put (46'6-1/2"). He captured the regional championship in the discus while finishing second in the shot put. Lehne says LCC Assistant Coach Lance Deal deserves the credit. "He's probably the best throws coach in the nation, for small colleges." And Deal, who throws the hammer for the New York Athletic Club, describes Lehne as a typical junior college athlete, long on potential but very raw. ''Lance needs to work on the weights to gather more strength, and his techniques could improve quite a bit." Lehne agrees: "I'm one of the weakest guys on the team. There are distance runners stronger than me." At 6'3", and 210 pounds, he resembles a basketball player more than a shot putter. But Tyree is not suprised that the thin, virtually untutored Lehne has consistantly defeated the best throwers in the league because, she says, he's a fierce competitor. "You'd have to cut his legs off to stop him from competing, that's his life. Lance can't stand to lose." One afternoon he begins a simple game of ping-pong in the Athletic Department. As usual, he's dressed down in LCC issue T-shirt and shorts. Despite the fact that his opponent is a young woman in a dress and heels, Lehne smashes the ball with frightening velocity at every opportunity. While not particuliarly gregarious, Lehne is popular around the gym. Even the woman competitor whom he beat so badly in ping-pong seems to appreciate his energy level. People greet him, women flirt with him, following him. But he seems oblivious to the admiration, laughing and making selfdepreciating jokes. Lehne's easy-going manner is reflected in his training. Athletic success has always come easy to him and he seems to play with most events. After winning the 110-meter high hurdles in his first collegiate race, he admitt~d that his time (17.2) was no where near his high school best, (14.9)--and laughing, he confides that he hadn't run over a hurdle since high school. In May 22,1987 If, I fact, he was unaware that the college hurdles are two inches taller than the ones used in high school. In the Regional Championship Meet, Lehne placed third in the hurdles with a PR 16.1. He has yet to train seriously for the event. He had never seen a hammer until he was entered into the event during a meet in Gresham, April 4. He took first place. Two weeks later, again in Gresham, he defeated throwers from Mount Hood and Blue Mountain with a toss of 109'9''. With a world-class hammer-thrower as his coach, Lehne seems in danger of finding yet another event which he must take seriously. In fact, after his performance in the Multi-Event Championships, Lehne may have to take all ten of the decathlon events seriously. He finished third in the region, and qualified for the TAC Junior National Decathlon Championships. It was only his second decathlon ever. But there are two events that Lehne already takes seriously. He is extremely dedicated to both the discus and the shot put. He spends about 90 percent of his training time on those events. Even when competing in the decathlon, Lehne still focused on his favorites -- and he broke meet records in both the discus and shot put, even though 'You'd have to cut his legs off to stop him from competing, that's his life. Lance can't stand to lose.' neither was a PR for him. That he made PR' s in every other event was smai, consolation to him. "As a freshman, he's throwing great," says Deal while assessing the flaws in Lehne's form. "But the techniques are so difficult. It can take two years before someone could understand what I'm talking about." Endless repetitions, the quick skips through the discus and shot rings in practice take a toll on Lehne's shoes. A pair of Pumas last only a few weeks before the toe is worn through. He switches to Reeboks: they look months old after a week. He blames the excessive wear upon a flaw in his technique. "I've got to get my form down -- I can't afford to keep buying shoes,'' he jokes, preparing to toss the shot one more time. If Lehne begins understanding his coach, and keeps improving, he has the potential to receive major college attention, believes Deal. Leaving the field late one evening, long after most of his teammates had gone home, he admitted a very possible dream. "I want to be throwing far: ther than the U of O guys next year. I want them (U of O coaches) to say 'I wish we could've gotten him.' " The quick smile returns, ''They'll be able to get me, of course. I want to go where the best are." He laughs; his small-town-boy modesty usually prevents him from revealing his goals. Tyree believes that Lehne can acheive any goal he might set. She remembers him, back at Bonanza High School, deciding to give basketball a fling his senior year. "He'd never picked up a basketball before, but he became very good, an amazing rebounder.' Nothing he could do will ever amaze me. He's good at everything.'' TheTORCH Page7 ~::":'"1-:ffl ijift.%J - fflW o-v:{WW~U.£. Lane crowned champions Titans knock-out Saints by J.V. Bolkan TORCH Staff Writer Like prize fighters, the women's track teams of LCC and Mount Hood traded knock-out blows during the intense Region IV Championship Meet at Lane Friday and Saturday, May 15-16.

But the Mount Hood coaches declined to protest, giving LCC the title. In the 100-meter high hurdles, Lane took five of the six scoring positions. Versatile Christine Schiel led the wave of Titans with a quick 15.09 clocking, edging out teammate Eileen Austin at 15.1. LCC received points for fourth, fifth, and sixth places also, for a total of 25 points. In the discus, Angela Arms, (129'5") Faye Moniz, (124'6") and Julie Huber (114'10") combined to sweep the top three positions. Joi Tipton took first in the shot put for Lane with a toss of 41'1", while Moniz placed a close third (38'1/2"). Tipton also placed in the javelin, taking third (126'9"). Tammy Courtney became the second Titan ever to jump past the 18' mark as she won the long jump with a leap of 18'3", Schiel soared to a PR of 17'10" to capture second.

Mount Hood countered Lane's dominance in the hurdles by sweeping the top three positions in the 200, and the top two in the 100-meter sprints. Additionally, Mount Hood took both the 1600 and 400 meter relays. The hardest punches of the meet were delivered by Schiel, who outscored all women. Schiel took three firsts: heptathlon, 100-meter high hurdles, and 400 intermediate hurdles. She also took a second in the long jump event, and a fourth in the high jump, in addition to scoring in the 1600 relay. Head Coach Lyndell Wilken, pointing towards the NWAACC Championship Meet held May 29-30 at Mount Hood in Gresham, said ''We could go one-two with Mount Hood. We've always been blown out , before.''

Bolkan TORCH Staff Writer wasn't getting wet until we won the conference.'' The Titan men's track team clawed its way to victory in the Region IV Championships held at Lane, May 15 and 16, defending its regional title. Lane narrowly held off Linn-Benton, 146-130. Clackamas and Mount Hood contended with 119 and H3 points, respectively. Moments after the dramatic four-team race had been decided in Lane's favor, Head Coach Harland Yriarte told his team, ''You came through with flying colors, like Titan teams of the past. It was a work ethic victory. I'm very proud of you.'' Both Linn-Benton and LCC ended competition with six first place finishes, and two second place finishes. The Titan victory was assured by the huge advantage of third place finshes. The efforts of Mike Bordenkircher were typical of the way the Titans scrapped for every point. After finishing third in the 1,500, he returned to run the 800. Summoning up the last of his energy, he made a seemingly impossible charge down the home stretch, passing two runners in the final few steps to capture second. Heroes were in abundant supply for the Titans. Lance Lehne split the high scorer honors in the meet with Doug McKinnis of Mount Hood, while teammates Andy Holte and Jim Howarth finished third and fourth. Lehne took the crown in the discus, second in the shot put, and third in both the 110-meter high hurdles, and the decathlon. Holte, winner of the decathlon, finished second in the pole vault (15'), and fifth in the 110-meter hurdles (16.3). He also ran legs on both the third place 1600-meter relay, and the fourth place 400-meter relay. Howarth destroyed a talented 1500 field by running a blistering 2:01 for the first 800-meters. "Kinda psychotic. I just decided to open it up," explained a jubilant Howarth after the race. He returned in the 800, where he was boxed-in and spiked before exploding into the lead, taking an easy victory. Todd Hope captured the 100 (10.7), and the 200 (22.2) .to join Howarth as double district champions. Yriarte plans to allow his athletes to compete for individual honors in the Conference Meet at Mount Hood, May 29 and Sean Elliott 30. "There is no way we can win a trophy up there.

Ray, Editor When in Rome by Val Brown TORCH Sports Editor In what Head Coach Bob Foster described as the bestrun production in five innings, the LCC Titans pounded out 17 hits, scoring 22 times to smash Clark in the first game of a double header 22-7. The win was the last for the Titans in the 1987 NWAACC baseball season, as Clark came back in the second game of the series, defeating Lane 7-4. Charlie Keady and Al Pratt both went 4-4 at the plate to lead the Titans in the first game. Keady had six RBI and two doubles, while Pratt came through with four RBI, a double, and a home run. Other Titans also capitalized on Clark's poor pitching, walking 10 times and pounding out 17 hits. Andy Johnson added to his batting average with three hits, as did Todd Cantamessa, who hit a two-run home run in the second inning, his first of his collegiate career. The Titan's momentum sagged in the second game as Clark out-hit Lane and scored a single run in the seventh inning to squash a Titan comeback. Lane stranded 10 runners on base throughout the second game. "We didn't keep the intensity and they (Clark) jumped out to an early lead,'' comments Foster. The Titans battled back but were unable to hold off Clark. The loss left the Titans with a league record of 9-15, 16-24 overall. ••• by Val Brown TORCH Sports Editor Last week the Left Corner highlighted a few of the words from the world of baseball.

Her suitcase is packed, and she's just bought the fashion magazine she wants to read on the bus. All she has to do now is wait. "Excuse me, ma' am. Can you tell me when the bus leaves? Ma'am? Ma'am? Hello?" Forget trying to get an answer out of her. She's not real. Not real? Yeah, that's right. Not real. "Sitting Woman" is one of 15 life-size photographic sculptures with found objec ts , created by LCC P hotography and Mass M e dia Instructor David Joyce, that are in a oneperson show at the Marcuse Pfeifer Gallery in New York City through June 26 . - Joyce creates h1s art work using " the interplay between life-size photographic cutouts and real objects in threedimensional space, " he says. ' 'This allows me to bring the separate disciplines and concerns of photography and sculpture together into a hybrid medium which has many creative possibilities,'' Joyce says. Joyce got the showing in New York after sending query letters to 65 galleries. When he received eight positive responses, Joyce went to the "Big Apple" to begin what he thought was '' a process that would take years" to get his photosculptures accepted into a gallery. But to his suprise, the first -- and best -- gallery he went to scheduled a show of his work. So, last week Joyce packed up all 15 photo cut-outs into plastic bags that looked like "body bags," and shipped them by Greyhound inside bicycle boxes to New York. After a week of traveling across country, the bicycle boxes will be delivered to the gallery, where Joyce will be waiting to set up the show. Only the photo cut-outs will travel to the show . Joyce will hunt around New York City to find the "found objects" for the exhibit. "In that sense, they change all the time depending on where the show is," he says. Courtesy photo "Sitting Woman," is a life-sized photographic sculpture created by LCC instructor David Joyce. His works are being shown now through June 26 in New York. In New York, Joyce is looking forward to spending his spare time shooting pictures. He says that it is easier to take candid shots of 'people in a larger city than in a town the size of _Eugene. Over the years, Joyce has taken thousands of images for use in his photosculptures. "I let them percolate, and periodically look through them and mix and match the negatives," he says . . After the show in New York, Joyce's photos will not come home to Eugene immediately. They will be put back on the Greyhound bus and sent to Newport Beach, Calif., where Joyce will show them at the Susan Spiritus Gallery, beginning June 26. When the photo sculptures are at home, Joyce does not like to set them up around his house. ' 'They feel too much like people. They can be startling, '' he says. I know what he means. I still don't know when that bus is leaving. But I'm not going to ask that lady again, that's for sure. Annual juried art show f ea tures student's work • Dan Norris also won first place for his geometrically designed tapestry rug. Norris says he finds inspiration for his weavings from 19th century Navajo weavings, Kilims weaving from Iran and Turkey, and ancient Peruvian weavings. Norris says he would like to make a living from his weaving in Mendocino County, on California's central coast.

Pagel2 TheTORCH Another first place winner is "Dryad," a black walnut sculpture by Olinka Broadfoot, who "took a new direction," when learning woodworking.

"Dryad" was also accepted into the League of Innovation's National Student Art Competition for Community College Students this year. Winners of that competition have not been announced yet. • A mixed-media "Self-Portrait" by Bill Bradish also received first place. Bradish, a fine arts photographer for 12 years, says ''I came to school for an art background besides photography. At this point I'm exploring sculpture, print-making, drawing, and painting." Bradish will be a student at the U of O next year, and plans to get a masters degree so that he can teach art. "I'd rather make it as an artist, but teaching is a good second career line,'' says Bradish.
