Matter of Interpretation
Waddell says the controversy encompassed ambiguous
language in USDE regulations
and auditing guidelines which

were followed by financial aid
departments nationwide.
In July 1981, during an
audit of financial aid records
of LCC, the USDE requested
the files of all eligible students
who "applied" for financial
aid in the preceding five years.
'' LCC maintained only the
records of students who actually "received" financial aid
money for those years," explains Waddell. "The files of
'unfunded applicants' for
financial aid had been purged."
According to Waddell, the
process for funding financial
aid money changed in 1981
with the new Reagan Administration. The USDE
reinterpreted the regulations
causing the confusion in
language.
The new funding process
guaranteed schools the
amount of financial aid money
they received in 1979-80. Excess federal funds would be
allocated according to the
number of eligible financial
aid applicants at each school.
"The USDE said that since
LCC did not have the files of

The fate of LCC's proposed $737,500 operating
levy rests in the hands -- or
perhaps mailboxes -- of
Lane County's voters.
In its first mail-in ballot
election, LCC seeks approval of a one-year

Ballots were mailed in
early September to all
registered voters in Lane
County. Ballots must be
returned by 8 p.m., Sept.
15 to Lane County Elections office, 135 E. 6th in
Eugene.
According to Paul Colvin, interim vice-president
of Administrative Services, if the September
levy passes, it is likely the
college will ask voters
again next May for approval "to increase the tax
base in order to maintain
this same level in the
future. But, the Board (of
Directors) hasn't discussed this yet."

In what appears to be a battle of the banks, Selco Credit
Union and US Bank are installing Automatic Teller
Machines (ATM's) side-byside in the LCC cafeteria. And
for the first time Selco is offering its services to students.
Both institutions are

the machines -- as will cards
issued by Pacific First Federal,

Willamette Savings.
"U-Bank," the trade name
for US Bank's ATM, is
already operational and will
allow customers to withdraw
from $5 to $200 per day from
their personal checking and
savings accounts.
Selco's ATM will be installed on Sept. 15 and should be
operational by Sept. 16, according to Marketing Director
see Selco, page 3

Until LCC receives anticipated revenues
from serial levy and property-tax payments, the
college needs to borrow $2 million in order to
meet September's payroll and other expenses.
At its Sept. 9 meeting, LCC's Board of
Directors authorized Pres. Richard Turner to
secure a loan to meet emergency cash flow problems at the college.
According to Verne Whittaker, director of
Financial Services, without the short-term loan,
LCC will find itself with a cash deficit at the
end of the month.
"It is very typical of institutions that rely on
property taxes to find themselves in this position," states Whittaker. "There is no cause for
alarm, this is not a sign of being in trouble."
Whittaker explained that the college has been
using up its cash reserves, both in the general

operating fund as well as in its plant fund.
The college receives 70 percent of its revenue
from property tax payments in late November
or early December. Whittaker says the loan will
enable the college to meet expenses until these
monies are received.
The alternatives to taking this action, explained Whittaker, were to delay payroll for
September, and to tell creditors, employees and
even financial aid students "you'll have to wait
for your money. Looking at the impact on
students, staff and vendors, these alternatives
are not acceptable to me or the institution.''
Whittaker anticipates no problem in securing
a loan and expects that the interest rate will be
between six and eight percent. The loan will be
short-term, '~probably until December," and
will be repaid when the college receives annual
revenues from property tax payments.
The last time LCC had to ask for a loan was
around 10 years ago, according to Whittaker.

An invitation to be your best at LCC

Welcome to Lane Community College! Congratulations on your decision to allow the superb
faculty and staff here help you become -- as poet
Douglas Mallock urges -- ''the best of whatever you
are."
The Board of Education, faculty and staff -- all of
us -- are delighted that you chose, with ten million
others across the country, to enroll at a community
college. It is flattering to us that you see Lane, in particular, as a key to your lifelong career goals.
We believe you will find that you made the right
choice. Lane and other community colleges prepare
workers for the majority of the top 20 occupations in
the nation, in terms of percentage of new jobs
developing and in the actual number of jobs expected
to be availc1ble between now and. 1995. Lane education is relevant!
You will find, too, that your teachers, counselors
and other staff here care about you. This is a caring
culture. All of us see students as an investment in our
community rather than an imposition. We are commited to your success. If you dedicate yourselves, in
turn, io working with us, your experience here will be

particularly productive.
I challenge you to "Go For Success!" That means
more than just enrolling at Lane to be taught. Take
charge of your learning by assuming responsibility
for mastering your subject matter. Do not leave it up
to your teachers or others, if you want to become
"the best of whatever you are."
Poet Douglas Mallock was saying that, regardless
of your chosen educational and vocational goals, you
must do the very best work that you can. That is what
he was suggesting when he penned these lines and I
urge you to meet his challenge.

An introduction from the ASLCC president
by Jeff Moisan

ASLCC President

Hello fellow students!
Welcome to LCC and the
1987-88 school year. I have no
doubt that this year will prove
to be • very rewarding for
students and the members of
student government in terms
of academic achievement and
presenting a well-informed
student voice to the college
community.
I would like to take this opportunty to introduce you to
the members of the Associated
Students of Lane Community
College and briefly describe
some of the things we do.
My name is Jeff Moisan and
I am the ASLCC president. I
was the vice-president of
ASLCC for the past two years,
so I am counting on my ex-

perience to help guide me
through my tenure as President.
Our vice-president is Billie
Rendahl. Billie was the Student Resource Center director
last year and did a wonderful
job in managing all of her
work-study employees ifl. addition to being strongly active in
relevant ASLCC issues.
A welcome addition to our
cabinet is Heidi VonRavensburg, Treasurer.
Heidi was a senator last year.
She has a strong background
in mathematics and accounting, and has won outstanding
academic scholarships. What
is impressive is that Heidi has
not let a handicap, blindness,
stand in the way of obtaining
her goals. I am sure many of
you have seen Heidi around

campus with Puma, her
seeing-eye dog.
Our Cultural Director, Rico
Perez, is staying on for a second year to try and perfect
the things he did so well last
year. Rico has an impressive
knowledge of what is involved
in staging a cultural event. His
list of entertainment contacts
seems endless.
Our Communications
Director, Bob Wolfe, was the
lead reporter for the TORCH
last year and a photographer
for the TORCH before that.
His experience and proven
dedication as a hard working
journalist make him perfectly
suited for the job. Welcome
aboard, Bob.
Dagny Brown, our SRC
director, brings a year of experience as an ASLCC senator

during the '85-'86 school year
to this important job. Last
year, while not officially affiliated with the ASLCC, she
organized the first annual
Duck to Titan Challenge, a
lOK run from the University
of Oregon to LCC. This year
the run will occur on October
11.
We also have nine senators:
Daniel Bartolini, Carol Brock,
Debi Chambers, David Donn,
Regina Dumont, Dave
McElheny, Michael Stewart,
Victoria Varble and Barbara
VonRavensburg -- Heidi's
mom.
There are many things the
ASLCC provides to students
in addition to being the student voice representative in the
decision process at LCC.

LCC suffered a
cut-back last year which resulted in

Complaints of Pres. Richard
Turner's management style from faculty members in a second annual evaluation were annoymously sent to The
Register-Guard and the community
was treated to an inside look at the
reported dissatisfaction and· low
morale on campus.
Regardless of these low marks from
the faculty, the LCC Board of Directors granted Turner a 3.38 percent
salary and benefit increase and extended his contract to 1989. And some campus leaders, including one board
member, felt this move was inappropriate in light of lay-offs and
budget cuts.

Things looked bleak for the new
school year.
Yet, in spite of a faculty which is still
holding its breath while the union
renegotiates its contract -- which ran
out in June -- LCC seems to have a
positive air floating over its campus.
LCC Education Association Pres.
George Alvergue refrained from commenting to The Register-Guard on
Turner's faculty evaluation. "We need
to pull together, not apart, for
awhile," Alvergue told the newspaper.
The Administration is attempting to
decrease the students' pain and frustration by installing a new computerized
telephone registration system. No
longer will we have to stand for hours
in lQng lines.

Financial Services is alleviating some
of the stress associated with payment
of tuition by setting up a ''Creditline''
account for each student whose tuition
remains unpaid after five days. The
college will then deduct remaining
balances from a student's financial aid,
or through a payment plan.
And, the Financial Aid staff has
chalked up numerous overtime hours
this past summer trying to catch up on
a backlog in paperwork due to changes
in government regulations for dependent students.
True, there will be inconveniences
for students because of decreased or
deleted classes, programs and services.
But it is encouraging to know that
the LCC administration, faculty ·and
staff members have no intention of letting students suffer more than they
have to.

some of the services ASLCC
provides to students: Photo
I.D. card, LTD bus pass subsidy, free legal service, free
phone use, free coffee every
Wednesday in the SRC, club
sponsorship, and much more.
Most importantly, I want to
stress to you, the student, that
our main priority is making
sure your opinion or concern
is heard. The only way we can
be an effective representative
body is to hear fom our constituents, the students.
Please let us know (good or
bad) what you think about
LCC by using the opinion box
in the SRC or by dropping by
the ASLCC offices located on
the fourth floor of the Center
Building, room 479.
Good luck in the coming
school year.

News Tracking Registration-Frustration?
-

by Robert Ward

TORC H Associate Editor

On Tuesday, Sept. 15, the Senate will begin confirmation hearings on President Reagan's nomination of Robert
Bork to the Supreme Court.
The Bork nomination has raised protests from unions,
civil rights groups, and women's groups which are concerned with some of Bork's view.s regarding free speech,
abortions, equal accomodations for black Americans, poll
taxes, and the principle of "one man--one vote."
Those who support Bork claim political ideology should
not be considered in deciding a nominee's qualifications
for the position.
Supporters claim the Senate's inquiries should be limited
to a nominee's moral character and legal qualifications.
Bork currently sits on the US Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia circuit. Supreme Court Justice Lewis
F. Powell retired in ·May, leaving the Court with eight
members.
Commissioner to be Appointed
The Oregon State Board of Education is implementing a
new law requiring changes ifi the governance structure for
community colleges.
The new law creates the position of a commissioner for
community colleges. The commissioner will be appointed
by the state board and will report directly to it.
•
The commissioner will be responsible for developing
proposals to assist the board in submitting a separate
legislative request for community colleges.
Community college affairs were previously handled by
the superintendent of public instruction, responsible for
grades K-12.
.
The board must appoint the commissioner by its
September meeting. ~uth Hewitt, board chzj.r, indicated
that informal talks with community college representatives
will occur before a decision is made.
Forests Burn

About 9,300 firefighters, including 1,254 National
Guard troops and a 650 person Army battalion have been
fighting raging forest fires in Oregon. More than 110,000
acres of public and private forest lands have burned in the
past two months. Preliminary estimates place the damages
at more than $300 million.
Even as fires continue to burn, supervisors from the
Siskiyou and Umpqua National Forests, and the Bureau of
Land Management are busy planning reforesting and
clearing projects.
Public agencies and private tree farmers have two
obstacles to overcome -- salvaging the commercial value
left in damaged stands, and reforesting the burnt lands.
Peace Plan Signed

On Aug. 7 the presid~nts of Nicaragua, El Salvador,
Honduras, Costa &ica, and Guatemala ~igned a 11-point
peace plan aimed at solving the problems· confronting Central America.
The agreement calls fbr an end to rebel insurgencies in
Nicaragua and El Salvador; an end to foreign intervention;
restoration of civil, rights in the region; and a move
, towards democracy in all Central American countries.
Representatives from Mexico and South American
countries, along with the foreign ministers· from the five
Central American nations, began meeting in late August to
work out details of the plan.

Fin. Aid,

Let on-campus volunteers give you some help
by Diane Davis

TORCH Editor

Students frustrated with LCC's new phone-in registration system can find relief at a temporary
assistance center. on the second floor of the Center Building.
Located by the Student Resource Center (SRC), just across from Counseling, the center provides phones in private booths, and volunteers to help.
"One of the biggest problems students will run into will be 'consent' requirements for certain
classes," states Coun~elor Tim Blood.
"Students still have to contact a department for consent before registering. Then it's up to the
department to input that information into the computer before the .student registers. There's a
waiting period before the computer accepts the information," says Blood.
This waiting period may prevent some students from registering by phone for certain classes.
Students may experience another delay if they owe money to the college, or have "academic
holds" placed on their transcripts.
Students registering off-campus may seek the help of a counselor over the phone. With the use
of •a computer terminal the counselor can view the information entered by the student, and
simultaneously talk with the registering student.
These special services will continue between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays, "as long as students need them," says Blood.

"We encourage Selco

According to Webb, 65 percent of LCC's faculty already
have accounts with the credit
union which is now offering
membership to students. Selco
previously offered membership only to employees of the
county's school and government agencies.
This month it began providing services to students as

and applications for GSL's are

''Joining Selco is easy,''
says Webb. Students need
identification showing they attend LCC when applying for
membership. Members are

President
Turner
gets pay
•
raise
by Diane Davis

TORCH Editor

LCC Pres. Richard Turner
showed obvious emotion and
relief when he thanked the college Board of Directors for a
renewed contract and a raise at
a June 1,7 public meeting.
In front of a 60-person audience and with local television and news media in attendance, the board approved by
a majority vote to extend
Turner's contract to June 30,
1989 and increase his salary by
3.38 percent.
Board member Martin
Lewis abstained from the vote,
stating, "I support extension
of the contract -- but not the
salary increase.''
The raise, the same increase
the board agreed to give
management employees in a
separate motion, will boost
Turner's salary and benefits to
$73,485 per year
Lewis also voted against the
raise for management
employees.
Board member Larry Perry
was abs~nt from the proceedings, although present at
an executive (private) session
held the previous evening.
During the private meeting the
board discussed the results of
Its evaluation of Turner's
management of the college for
the past year.

Evaluation Results

Reading from a prepared
statement,
Turner
acknowledged the criticism expressed in the boardsponsored evaluation by LCC
faculty and staff.
•
He stated that having to
reduce the college budget by
$2.1
million
created
widespread anguish within the
college community.
"This year's presidential
evaluation has been affected
by all of the circumstances
that we have experienced.
There have been perceptions
of my leadership that have
been negative. I am aware of
these perceptions and the
board is aware of them. I am
determined to work diligently
to change them. The board has
pledged its support in helping
me."
Turner also thanked the
board for its understanding of
the role LCC's administration
must take in order to insure a
secure future for the college.
'' I know that you have
wrestled with your concern for
the unhappiness that we all
have experienced at the college
in the past several months due
to the reductions in force that
have been required in order to
balance our budget for
1987-88," read Turner. "I
want to express my appreciation to the board for
understanding the direction
that the college has had to go
in order to maintain its fiscal
and educational viability."
Also reading from a
prepared statement, Board
Chairperson Mary Unruh said
that ''Dr. Turner and the
board are aware of the morale
problem that exists at the college. We are not making light
of the feelings expressed by
our faculty and staff."

According to Unruh, the
evaluation results reveal that
the college's fiscal problems
during the past two years and
the resulting cutbacks in
budgets and personnel led to
'' a general insecurity'' not
"relating directly to the president's performance of his job.
'' Although we knew that
without increased enrollment
or state reimbursement we
would soon have to face cutbacks, we staved it off as long
as we could. This was the year
we finally had to 'pay the
piper' and it was Dr.
Turner's responsiblity to get
us back on a sound fiscal
basis. However, we see no
reason to "shoot the bearer of
ill tidings," read Unruh.
Union Evaluation Differs
In spite of the board's opinion of Turner's performance,
results of a separate survey
reveal that few LCC faculty
members agree.
In its second private evaluation of Turner in two years,
the LCC Education Association reported continuing low
marks for Turner.

Submitted anonymously to
The Register-Guard for
publication, the evaluation
results showed little or no improvement over last year's
complaints by LCC faculty.
Although the· TORCH did
not receive a copy of the
evaluation, The RegisterGuard reported the results in a
June 25 article.
'' Most of the 185 teachers
who
responded to a
21-question survey this spring
said Turner is not a good
president, giving him low
marks for his leaders~ip qualit y for his working relationship with the faculty," stated
the article.

According to The RegisterGuard, most who responded
to the survey said Turner isn't
respected by the faculty and is
either seldom, or never, a
good leader or communicator.
But, Turner told The
Register-Guard that the
union's evaluation was
''clearly a biased document,'' claiming it represents
the attitude of some members
of the LCC Education
Association but isn't a
representative picture of faculty attitudes as a whole.
In an interview with the
TORCH, Turner said he feels
the faculty "don't really have
a comprehensive view of what
I do. And certainly if they're
people who claim they haven't
even seen me often enough,
how could they make a judgement on the quality of my
work?
"Certainly I think it (the
evaluation) probably ought to
be made by the board as they
more broadly understand what
I'm doing. As they in fact,
provide me the guidance to do
the job."

"I don't know that we'll
ever not get criticism over our
communications. It makes it
very difficult sometimes to accept, personally, some of the
flack that one gets. But I accept it, realizing that that's
part of the job."
Regarding his raise, Turner
stated he received the lowest
salary increase of the entire
management sector.
"It was decided by the
board that I would get the
average of what all management got. The maximum raise
was four percent. I received
the average of 3.38 percent.
"I felt that it's important,
and I recommended that the
board not freeze salaries,
because when they do that
they simply cannot catch up.
And that creates more problems later on."

ASLCC President: No apolo gies for idealism

He remembers the call came at 2 a.m., an
early morning alarm that announced trouble.
"There's a plane down on White Mountain," yelled the urgent voice on the other end.
"There's three people aboard."
Jeff Moisan also remembers that he surprised
himself, reacting very quickly. He called the
first few members of the Ellensburg,
Washington, Search and Rescue squad and
gave them the details with short, terse
sentences. They in turn would alert the rest of
the squad. Hanging up the phone, he grabbed
his ever-present backpack and headed for the
usual meeting place.
This year's ASLCC President was young
then, and of course idealistic. But he doesn't
apologize for his actions during his rescue efforts, or for the lessons he learned from them.
Even now he remains idealistic.
"It was cold and wet in the fall just before
the first snow," he recalls. "The thick mud
made climbing difficult. When we got to the
plane, it was destroyed. It had hit nose first and
both wings were broken off."
He pauses and a distant look enters his eyes.
"None of the passengers survived. It was
very strange for me. I had never seen mangled
bodies before. We put all three of them into one
body bag."
Moisan was 15 at the time.
But, early morning calls were nothing new
for him, a member of the squad for two years,
and president during the previous year.
And, life in the Search and Rescue squad
wasn't always negative. Once he aided in the
search for two teen-age hikers.
"We found them in an abandoned cabin by
using infra-red scanners. One had frostbite and
they both suffered from hypothermia.
''When we brought them out their families
were so grateful, I was overwhelmed with emotion. It makes you feel good inside to save someone's life."
Being exposed to the reality of death is not
easy for anyone and at 15 the impact on Moisan
was indelible.
For a young person, it was a turning point.
"For quite awhile after that plane crash, I
really wondered what life was all about. I
mean, why are we here? School suddenly seemed unimportant. Dealing with humongous lifeand-death situations really put things into
perspective."
It was a perspective that served him well the
very next year. Moisan received a phone call
that his grandmother was dying and wanted to
see him. As he waited for a plane, memories
flashed through his mind of the years he lived
with her.
"I walked into the hospital and tried to get
some help locating her room. I had to wait
about 15 minutes until the nurses quit gossip-

ing. I walked into her room. She was unaware
of me. I held her hand and then, suddenly,
there was no muscle tone at all. One second she
was alive, and the next she was dead."
He was 16.
Going through all this while still young
taught Moisan a bit about the universal truths
that some of us learn late in life, if at all. He's
not embarrassed to say that helping others is
one of the most rewarding experiences there is,
that life is short, and that we should make the
most of it now.
While he's unabashedly idealistic, he doesn't
necessarily see himself devoted to a life of service. Yet, still, his greatest satisfaction results
from doing for others. He's comfortable with
what cynics might call a Quixotic attitude.
"I consider myself fairly selfless. I have
always gotten more satisfaction helping others
than doing something for myself.''
In fact, it was the desire to help out that got
Moisan involved in student leadership during
his first year in college, back in 1985.
"I didn't have any personal agenda or
anything. I just decided to see if there was any
way that I could help out. I applied for senator,
made it, and was ratified during Fall Term
1985.
"The vice-president resigned about three
weeks after I was ratified. I figured I might as
well apply. I was the new kid on the block, and
nobody knew me, so I was prepared to lose. On
the day they were to make the decision I was
called into this little office with three other people. It got hot really fast, and I started to sweat.
They gave me this really big build-up -- 'I was
new, I was inexperienced, I was an unknown.'
Then they told me I had the job. I couldn 't
believe it.''
He kept the job through the 1985-86 year ,
and returned as vice-president during the
1986-87 year. He also joined the community
college honor society, Phi Theta Kappa, and
became president of the chapter. A year later,
Moisan was selected as a national vice-president
of the organization.
And, during Spring Term last year the student body elected Moisan as its new President
for 1987-88.
Sitting in his new office, he discusses his
motivation for all of his service activity.
"It's not always totally rewarding.
Sometimes you work really hard, and no one
really notices. I worked really hard on some
projects during my year as president of Phi
Theta Kappa and I think we did some very worthwhile things. But then when I left, I didn't get
a word of thanks or anything.''
Moisan agrees that his greatest challenges in
public service are still ahead of him, but he is
looking forward to this year.
The phone rings. The voice on the other end
speaks for a minute. Moisan stands. It's time to
go back to work.

Piercey's salary complai nt rejected

LCC's Board of Directors
rejected a salary grievance filed by James Piercey, director
of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) during a
special meeting held on Aug.
12.
Piercey filed the grievance

and a similar reduction in
retirement benefits, when he

eliminated Piercey' s previous
position as Dean of OffCampus Centers during last
year's budget cuts.
Piercey petitioned the board
to compensate him fairly for
responsibilities he performs

outside the requirements of his
job description.
In a memorandum to the
board, Piercey, who serves as
president of the EugeneSpringfield Metropolitan Partnership, maintained that his
involvement in industrial
recruitment in the local community "has had a significant
impact in carrying out the college mission and purposes. . .
that you have established for
the college.
''The college has approved
the job description of my industrial recruitment activities
by word and action. In
essence, as long as I am to
serve as an executive officer of
the Metropolitan Partnership
and represent the college in industrial recruitment, over and
above the responsibilities of
the position of Director of the

SBDC, I should be compensated accordingly,'' states the
memorandum.
But in a unanimous decision, the board determined
that an employee's community
activities outside of his/her
job description -- while potenand
productive
tially
beneficial to the college -- cannot realistically be considered
when determining levels of
responsibility and adequate
compensation.
Board Chairperson Mary
Unruh stated, "All of us involved in business take on
things that will help us gain expertise in our positions. If extra compensation were required for outside involvement
we'd be forever trying to
decide how much to compensate people for their outside
activities."

Rough road for ASLCC's Rendahl led to LCC
by Diane Davis

TORCH Editor

Whether hitchhiking across
the country while nine months
pregnant or entering college
with only an eighth grade
education, it can never be said
that ASLCC Vice-President
Billie Rendahl isn't a determined woman.
Rendahl, who takes over the
second most important position in student government at
LCC this year, promises to be
a strong advocate on campus
for the rights and needs of
students. Listening to her
relate stories of her past, one
knows that she'll be effective
in spite (or because) of her
humble beginnings.

"I wasn't unintelligent. I was just uneducated."
She left Alaska, still hitchhiking, and arrived in
Eugene on her due date. But
her soon-to-arrive daughter,
Skyley, decided to wait three
weeks ''until I decided to stay
put." Having spent all her
money on her cross-country
trek, she was forced to apply
for welfare.
"l didn't want to go back
into the bars to work,'' says

structor Jerome Garger with
changing her thinking about
her academic abilities.

decide to come to LCC. Having been out of school for 15
years and never attending high
school, the fear on that first
visit was too much for her.

Her handwriting and spellatrocious
were
ing
("everything was like it sounded'') and Garger called her into his office for a conference.

'' I came on the LTD bus the
first time and I never got off. I
was that scared.

Afraid that he would give
her the same treatment she had
received in Florida she steeled
herself for the confrontation.

"But on my second visit I
had an appointment with Izetta Hunter (director of the

But it wasn't at all what she
expected.
'' Jerome explained that I
wasn't unintelligent, just
uneducated and that there was
a difference.

She was an eighth-grade
drop-out, after a disastrous
move from a large school to a
,
smaller one in Florida.
''They were so closed minded (at the new school) they
made me feel stupid.
Everytime I asked a question
they'd say, 'read the book.'
Then they'd sit me in the back
of the class. So consequently, I
started believing I was stupid
and I dropped out."
She was 15-years-old at the
time and a friend who owned a
tavern offered her a job as a
bartender. He signed a paper
saying she was 21 and Rendahl
officially began her career serving people.
After nine years she had
enough of the bars and decided to hitchhike across the
United States to Alaska,
"because that's where I
thought I wanted to live." It's
important to note that at the
time she was "very" pregnant.
"Everyone who picked me
up wanted to feed me. They
saw my stomach and would
ask when I was due and decided I needed something to eat."
After making it to Alaska,
she realized it wasn't what she
expected.
"It's 0.K. if you want to
retire, but it wasn't what I was
looking for."

"He also explained that all I
needed to do was strive and I
could achieve any goal that I
set for myself. My first term I
got straight A's. I didn't get a
B until my second year. Once I
got that 4.0 it was hard to get
anything else."
This determination to succeed and not settle for less is
evident in Rendahl's plans for
her term as ASLCC vicepresident. One of her major
concerns is the apathy of the
community college student
body.
"I think that there's apathy
in community colleges more
... than other colleges because

And, she says, community

'' Most people are in their

think about. School is secondary. What's going on around

this year is to setup a childcare
co-op on days that secondary
schools are out of session, but
LCC isn't.
A childcare referral system
is also available to parents
who cl.re concerned about daycare expenses.
"We sent out about 100
evaluations to all the childcare
services in the area. We can't
recommend anyone, but we
can offer a list of prices and
locations for childcare."
Rendahl would also like to
see a support group on campus
for single parents on welfare.
'' I think student government should get involved in
this. We should allow parents
time, with their children,
where they can meet once a
week and talk about problems
pertaining to .welfare. They
can work together, as a communication group, to get
things going."
Another of Rendahl's
responsibilities this year is
grievance counselor for the
student body. Anyone who experiences a problem with an
instructor is welcome to come
and discuss it with her.
"I'm always open to listen.
(But), when people come to
me with their problems, I'm
not going to be here to solve
their problems. What I'm going to be here for is to show
them the avenues, and stand
behind them while they solve
their own problems. I'll be
here to stand strong behind
anyone who really wants to see
things change.''

Wilken &Company: Titan runners race to defend title
and Tiese Robertson.

by J.V. Bolkan

TORCH Sport s Editor

Wilken does feel that with
only eight runners, sparseness
could be a problem.

The LCC Women's Cross
Country team begins defense
of its 1986-87 Conference
a
Championship with
cautiously optimistic outlook.

Wilken believes that additional runners may report
when school starts, but isn't
banking on the possibility.

Head Coach Lyndell Wilken
says that her team has a very
strong nucleus of five runners.
"Our strength should be in
the four returning runners,
and incoming freshman Lisa
Moe."
Moe, from Corvallis, will
join sophmores Shelli Gray,
Nicole Lightcap, and Taunya
Pieratt from last years's team.

"We started last Spring with

We're down to eight. We really need to keep healthy to have

She points to Mount Hood

the state, and Spokane as one
of the best in the conference.

TORCH Sports Editor

Another school year begins, and LCC is still
without a mascot.
Naturally, our athletic teams do have a
nickname, the Titans. What does a Titan look
like? No one in the Athletic Department knows.
In the 1986 N.W.A.A.C.C. Volleyball program, '' Lane Community College'' is printed in
the space reserved for our mascot.
Tacoma Community College also calls
themselves the Titans. They have a drawing of a
man throwing a lightning bolt. While they may
have confused their Greek mythology, at least
they made an effort.
The biggest cop-out in the mascot department must go to Spokane Community College,
the Sasquatchs. Instead of a huge, hairy, apelike creature stomping competitors with mammoth feet, they use a logo of the sun setting
behind a tree bordered mountain. The drawing
must represent the dwelling place of the elusive
big-foot. It is pretty, but think of the potential.
Some schools need a graphic to explain their

nickname. Greys Harbor uses Chokers as a
nickname. They have a bare-chested, very
muscular man in caulk boots. He carries a short
ch~ker ·cable, or perhaps a garrotte. Do their
tee.ms "choke" under pres&ure?
My personal favorites are the Trailblazers
from Centralia, and the Clark Penguins.
The Trailblazer is a scruffy looking cartoon
man with a· huge nose and mustache, and no
eyes or mouth. His rifle is half again as tall as
he is. And the Penguin has a ridiculously huge
head. Water on the bird-brain?
Back to Titans. A female Titan is either a
Titanides, or a Titaness. Titanism is defined by
the World Book Dictionary as "the spirit or
quality of the Titans, especially that of revolt
against the established order.''
Let's show a little Titanism and come up with
either a suitable mascot or a new name. I personally nominate the Possum. Our teams could
play dead until the fourth quarter, then suprise
the competition. Possums, unlike Titans, are
native to this area. Besides, most of us know
what a possum looks like.
If you have an idea for a new name, or can
draw a mascot, drop it by the Torch office, second floor of the Center Building. The best,
funniest, strangest ideas will be forwarded to
the Athletic Department, and may even appear
in the Torch.

Successful track coach resigns, blasts policies
by J.V. Bolkan

TORCH Sports Editor

Claiming LCC does not adequately support student
athletics, Track and CrossCountry Coach Harland
Yriarte resigned his coaching
positions after last spring' s
track season.
Yriarte coached the Titan
men from 1980 through 1987.

On one occasion a battery
fell out of a van. Another time
a van door fell off while
being
were
athletes
transported to a meet.
Once, as a joke, Yriarte submitted a budget request for a
dozen towels to replace a
broken defroster on a bus.
At one time, coaches were
expected to drive their teams

"I may be politically neutered
for saying the things I have."
His teams won the last five
Region IV Track Championships, and compiled an astounding 42-3 dual meet
record. During his eight years
as coach, his athletes reset 20
of 28 school records.
So, why quit?
He cites frustrations with
budget cuts, and problems
processing students through
the Financial Aid Department.
And, he says, budget cuts
within the Athletic Department forced him to spend
more time raising funds to
help athletes, and attending to
administrative details.
"I love to coach. I've had
great times on the track at
LCC. But that (coaching) is
five per cent of the time only.''

to contests.
Yriarte claims the situation
was very dangerous, saying,
"Sometimes you'd have to
drive seven or eight hours,
coach all day, then drive
home.''
It took a complaint from the
faculty union before the
school formulated a new
policy.
Btit Jack Carter, vice president for Student Services,
asserts that the situation was
corrected as soon as it was
brought to his attention.
While Carter agrees with
Yriarte that there are problems, he says Yriarte doesn't
have the full picture of college
operations and limitations.

Colleges offer both programs
until after classes begin in the

Carter says, "We may have
educated our students to apply
early for financial aid," which
may exhaust LCC funds
earlier than those at other colleges.
• Yriarte contends that as
many as 500 potential students
whom he recruited during his
eight-year tenure decided
against attending LCC due to
problems with .financial aid.
"We (the coaching staff) do
a good job marketing the
school, then (LCC) can't
deliver Financial Aid,'' claims
Yriarte.
And he says, "(the) average
time processing an application
at the U of 0, Clackamas
Community College, and Mt.
Hood Community College is
three to six weeks. It takes
nine to 12 weeks at LCC."
Carter claims that LCC is
trying to speed up processing,
and attributes other schools'
successes to superior computer
systems. Lane is currently
moving towards a better computerized system, he says.
• Yriarte also claims that
other schools are now using
the problems with financial
aid at LCC as a recruiting
weapon.
"I hear from high school
coaches, and students, 'LCC
doesn't back up its financial
aid commitments.' It is very
frustrating because I can't tell
them it isn't true."
Yriarte says that suspension
of part-time Work Study jobs
last Spring, two weeks before
the end of the term, was the
clincher.
"They (Financial Aid) can't
promise that it won't happen

again, so I can't tell a qualified
athlete that he could count on
his (full) award."
Teaching, No Coaching
Although Yriarte will not
coach at LCC this year, his
salary remains the same. Instead of teaching six classes,
and coaching, he will instruct
the standard load of seven PE
classes. "I figure I'll have
about 40 extra hours a week
on my hands. And I won't

have all the problems, either."

however, the hurdles have
taken their toll. "I may be
politically neutered for saying
the things I have, but they
need to be addressed. I've
always felt that I should do a
job to the best of my ability,
or not at all," says Yriarte.
For now, he'll do it not at all.

Three weeks be/ore s_eason opener

Kevin Myers named to succeed Yriarte
by J.V. Bolkan

TORCH Sports Editor

LCC is the first head coaching job for Kevin Myers.

LCC's Athletic Department has hired a
new Men's Cross Country and Track Coach
for the 1987-88 season.
Kevin Myers, assistant Head Coach at
LCC last year, was selected from a pool of
five applicants to replace former coach
Harland Yriarte who resigned the position
this past spring, said Athletic Director Bob
Foster.
Aside from the one year as a paid assistant
at LCC, Myers' experience includes a year of
volunteer coaching at Junction City High
School and one year at LCC as a volunteer.
"I think I got the job because I showed
last year that I could handle the administrative side, and gain the athletes
respect. Also, I give the program some continuity," says Myers.
Yriarte believes Myers will be sucessful,
despite his inexperience.
"Kevin is energetic, and young (28). He
has plenty of excitement and enthusiasm.''
When it comes to discussing his relative inexperience, Myers is very candid. He says he
expects to solicit Yriarte's advice whenever
necessary.

"I think he (Yriarte) is one of the best allaround coaches anywhere. Not to ask him
for advice would be ludicrous," says Myers.
Yriarte says that he will gladly give advice,
when asked. However, "Kevin is the captain, it is his ship to sail. I will help, maybe
by being a rudder when he needs one, but
he'll have to decide which directions he
wants to go."
Many of Myers' statements are preceded
by, "Harland felt, and so do I .... " That attitude is most notable when discussing
academics.
"The first reason kids should be here is to
get an education. That's what Harland
believed in, and what I believe in. The most
sucessful team was two .years ago, when 20
out of 21 athletes had a 3 .0 grade point
average or above," claims Myers.
"I knew I'd apply for the job last Spring.
Track people from around the country know
about LCC and our program. I'd be a fool
not to want this job," says Myers.
He admits to feeling some pressure.
"I thought about the streak of five
straight District IV Championships all Summer. But, whatever pressure I feel comes
from myself, not other people's expectations."

Students offered credit plan
by Robert Ward

TORCH Associate Editor

Students may now spread
the payment of their tuition
and fees over the length of a
school term under LCC' s new
Credit Line Plan.
According to Verne Whittaker, director of Financial
Services at LCC, the new
system allows students greater
flexibility with payments.
If tuition and fees are not
paid by financial aid or
VISA/Mastercard at the time
of registration, a student has
five days to pay the amount in
full or a Credit Line account is
automatically established in
their name.
In-state students are required to make a payment of
one-half the balance of their
account each ·month, or $80,

whichever is greater.
Out-of-state and foreign
students must make payment
in full within 30 days.
"Students must maintain
debt responsibility and meet
the terms and conditions" of
the Credit Line program, says
Whittaker.
Tuition and fees must be
paid by the end of one term
before registering for the next.
However, says Whittaker,
students having problems with
payments should go to Financial Services and explain their
situation.
A copy of the Credit Line
Plan and Account Agreement
is available in the Class
Schedule, or may be obtained
from the Financial Services office in the Administration
building.

Hewlett Packard
donates terminals

by Muriel Willingham

TORCH Staff Writer

LCC received a donation of
58 computer terminals this
past summer as a result of an
LCC manager's comments to
her husband.
Sandy Ing, director of
Specialized Student Services,
complained to her husband,
Tom, about the inconvenience
of having to leave her office
and go to another floor in the
Center Building in order to
take advantage of the college's
electronic mail system.
Electronic mail? That's the
modern way of saving on
stamps and envelopes by sending messages via computers.
Tom, who just happens to
be site manager for Hewlett
P.a.ckard (computer manufa.c:.

turers), discovered that HP
had around 60 terminals which
were classified as surplus.
He explained to, HP officials
that LCC was trying electronic
mail but had an inadequate
number of computer terminals, and no money in the
budget to • buy more. HP
agreed to donate them to the
college. The only cost to LCC,
Tom Ing says, was ''the gas to
transport them to Eugene.''
According to Ing, electronic
mail saves money, and is
quicker. Message turnaround
time is much faster, so a person can get feedback more
rapidly. "It's a real enhancement to productivity.''
Delivery and installation of
the terminals took place
throughout the summer.

Despite cold winds and
threatening rain clouds, 94
golf enthusiasts met on the
green of the Emerald Valley
Golf Course on Sept. 11 for
"Uncle Bud's LCC Open."
The tournament, now in its
fourth year, is a popular fundraising event with the local
community, as evidenced by
the number of people who par• ticipated. Entrants paid a $100
fee, and this, along with donations from tee and hole sponsors, raised money for scholarships and special projects at
the college.
Last year's tournament raised $6,355 which was used
primarily for student scholarships.
Prizes were offered for
special achievements on the
course. At press time, no
results were available.
The most lucrative awards
were provided for the 11th and
14th holes. The first hole-inane on the 11th would net the
golfer $10,000 in cash, divided
evenly between the player and
the LCC Foundation. And, if
someone was fortunate
enough to have a hole-in-one
on the 14th hole, he/she could
drive away in a brand new
Mazda RX-7, donated by Uncle Bud.
"No one has ever won on
either hole,'' said Kim
Knowlen, administrative assistant for the LCC Foundation,
as the tournament began.
Participants also received
prizes for the "closest to the
tree," the "accurate shot onto
the green," the "longest
putt,'' and longest drives. for
both men and women.
This year's tournament
featured an awards banquet
and auction.
''The auction is new this
year," says Knowlen. "Items,
I can't reveal what, have been
donated by pro-golfer's Jack
Nicklaus and Peter Jacobsen.
These (items) should help us
raise even more money.''
Another income generator
at this year's tournament was
the opportunity for the local
community to sponsor tees,
and not just holes as in
previous years.

Celebration has something for all

by Julie Crist

TORCH Entertainment Editor

Only in Eugene will you find the revered representative of the
annual Eugene Celebration, the Slug Queen.
And only in Eugene could the Slug Queen's name be Dave.
Queen Dave will survey his kingdom from the Slug Queen
float on Sept. 26 during the Eugene Celebration parade. The
parade includes 175 entries, but the chance to get a look at
Queen Dave is worth the trip alone.
The Celebration is Eugene's giant, annual three-day
municipal party. Aside from the parade, it includes food, art,
music, competitions, films, bike tours, a horseshow, wine
tasting, and a carnival, just for starters.
Jazz, rock, reggae, blues, country and new age music will be

performed by exceptional groups such as Don Latarski, Curtis
Salgado, The Blue Sky Fusion Band, The Allnighterz, Transistor, Richter Scale, Ranch Dressing and more.
Competitions include the Fire Bucket Brigade,
Waiter /Waitress, Trike-Cathalon (adult-sized tricycles
negotiated through traffic cones), wheelchair competition, family games for anyone to enter and the Eugene Eggloft.
Over 25 food booths will serve everything from hamburgers to
frozen yogurt, French, Italian, Cajun, Mexican, Chinese and
German cuisine. The prices are low and the booths will be open
Sept. 25 through 27 at the 8th and Willamette parking lot.
The Celebration is free, and the events are in various locations
around town. The Register-Guard will publish the schedule approximately one week before the Celebration.

Photography shows 'ordinary' life
Review by Julie Crist

TORCH Entertainment Editor

U of O's tiny Oregon
Gallery is a perfect place to
share the close, personal
moments caught in Paul
Carter's photography.
Duncan
and
Carter
McDonald, two Eugene
photojournalists, are featured
in an exhibit which concentrates on documenting life in
two different halves of the
world. A chronicle of
"ordinary scenes" being the
shared theme of the show,
McDonald's color photos of
Africa show us the people and
wildlife of Ethiopia, Tanzania
and Kenya, and Carter's
black-and-white photos present "ordinary people" in
everyday America.
Carter covers a broad spectrum of human experiences in
just 10 photos. From a Trappist monk, to a carny and his
elephant, to a prison wedding,
Carter's intimate portraits

First dance, junior high. Logan, Utah 1980 by Paul Carter.

reveal "hard-times" faces and
people. In his "Evanston,
Wyoming, 1978" photo, the
young eyes or an unemployed
oil-field worker gaze out from
a creased, weather beaten
face. The smell of the smoke
curling up from his cigarette,

mingled with sweat and
alcohol, seem to permeate the
clean, gallery air. Carter
touches us with the despair of
this man's life.
Carter's black-and-white
photos of colorful scenes are
interestingly contrasted with

McDonald's color photos of
black-and-white scenes.
In McDonald's "Masai
Village, Amboseli, Kenya,''
brown people linger next to
their cracked, rounded mud
huts that sit like giant, brown
baked potatoes on the brown,
scorched earth. The brightly
colored red and blue robes of
the Masai inhabitants lend the
only relief from the amazingly
scorched, monotone world of
the desert.
The exhibit is scheduled in
the U of O's Museum of Art,
1430 Johnson Lane, through
