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.

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).

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.

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?

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

way one is born white or

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.

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?

~Irradi ated foods: dangerous or
harmkss?
'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.

Director
shares plan
for helping
enrollment
by Lois Grammon

TORCH Associate Editor

University of Oregon's Admissions Director Jim Buch
spoke to the Budget Committee Wednesday evening, to
suggest marketing strategies
used successfully at the
university to counter its
declining student enrollment
(see related story, page 1).
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.

For Alan Siporin, a KLCC

than just a job, it is an adventure.
Siporin received six awards

Alaska, Oregon, Idaho,
Washington, and Montana.
He received awards in five
categories: "spot" or breaking news, feature news,

Shan Titus: promoting LCC to future students
Feature by Kristine A. 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. "Just remember,
she tells them, "you can take any of those
classes that turn you on.
Some of the students on the tour had been
enrolled in LCC' s High School Completion program since Fall Term, yet were almost completely

unaware of the location of various buildings and
activities. 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.

Reaching out to grab the gold
Lance Lehne
practices some
of his favorite
events.

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.''

Like prize fighters, the
women's track teams of LCC

third place points, Lane
would have tied with Mount
Hood. But the Mount Hood
coaches declined to protest,
giving LCC the title.
In the 100-meter high

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

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

Mount Hood in Gresham,

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.

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.

Last week the Left Corner highlighted a few of the
words from the world of baseball.
In an effort to help some of the TORCH readers
become better educated with language of the athlete,
the Left Corner gives the readers volume II of the
Fold-o-Matic Handy Dandy E-Z Word Reference, the
realm of baseball slang.
Coach and player alike frequently use this
language, and it has become so common that even
fans can use the phrases that so many of the coaches
and players use.
In volume II of the Fold-o-Matic Handy Dandy E-Z
Word Reference, readers can refer to this guide and
learn how to utter phrases like "Hum it in there" and
"Let's go now. We need an out. Come on now. Let's
get out of this jam." Below is your reference guide of
slang phrases and their definitions.

·~························································
• Hon now: essentially, all our hopes are
resting on you. Don't fail us now.
• Little pepper: throw it hard.
• Little rip: hit the ball hard. We need a hit.
• Can of corn: the doof popped it up. Catch it.
• Hang it in his ear: throw it at his head.
• Set him down; or put him in the book:
strike the jerk out.
• Ducks on the pond: baserunners on base -don't leave them out there.
• Two dead: two outs
• Hit it, or down: slide, you turkey, or you're
dead.
• Ride the pine, or aluminum: sitting on the
bench.
• Cherry bounce: a sweet bounce right into
the fielder's glove.
• Charity hop: same as a cherry bounce.
• Keep it out of the elevator shaft: don't pop
it up.
• See ya: nice try, but you're out any way.
• Down and dirty: keep the ball on the
ground.
•
• Hit me harder: an expression usually
blurted out to the pitcher when an opposing
batter blasts the ball.
• Send it somewhere: hit the ball where the
fielders aren't, so we can win this game.
• I dunno: an expression thrown in after certain -phrases to give it extra pizazz.

............................................................
Always remember, to sound like an expert, just
throw in an "I dunno" or the uniform number of the
player you are addressing. One key thing to keep in
mind: this is baseball and you don't have to make any
sense.

WHAT ARE YOUR
FEELINGS ABOUT THE
KILLING OF BENJAMIN LINDER, A
YOUNG MALE FROM
PORTLAND?
• It is sad that one of our
local boys who was trying to
help some people in need

had to die for it. I think it is
terrible when other countries
are so wrapped up in
themselves that they must
fight and kill each other and
the people who try to help
them.

• I don't feel anything
about the situation, but what
does anyone expect when
going into a hostile country?
Safety?
• Mr. Linder knew he was
in a war zone. It is sad, but

war is unpredictable.
• It was dangerous to be a
Tory at the Boston Tea Party;
(were those renegades "rebel
thugs" or "brave patriots"?)
This chap should have
stayed in Portland.
• Cold blooded MURDER!
• He shouldn't have been
there. He knew the risks he
was taking and obviously
thought it was worth dying
for. He took the chances; he
died for it, so what? If you
willingly enter a war zone,
you deserve no sympathy for
the injuries received.
• I am not surprised that an
American from Portland was
killed in a war zone in Central America. Americans
these days are taking life
threatening risks by staying
in Central American countries and some Latin
American countries. Because
of potential political and civil
risks within these countries,
it is best to use wise and
careful judgement by keeping a low profile while
visiting these countries. Better yet, stay out of them!

Life-size photography to show in New York
by Beverly Moore

TORCH Entertainment Editor

There she sits, looking terribly bored. 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.

"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.

• 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.

Another first place winner is "Dryad," a black
walnut sculpture by Olinka Broadfoot, who
"took a new direction," when learning woodworking.
Broadfoot says, "You have to be true to yourself.
You do what you do because that's what you are."
"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.
