Colleges explore semesters
by Robert Ward
TORCH Associate Editor
Representatives from Oregon's community colleges gathered
on the LCC campus Oct. 21 to discuss a possible transition to a
semester system.
Dr. Robert Clausen and Elaine Yandle-Roth of the Oregon
Department of Education (ODE) led the discussion, stating
"The purpose of the meeting is not to give 'yes' or 'no' votes for
conversion, but to identify problems schools may encounter
with the process of converting.''
Last spring the Oregon State Board of Higher Education
(OSBHE) voted to convert four-year colleges and universities to
a semester system beginning in Fall Term, 1990.
Community colleges are under the authority of the State
Board of Education, which governs grades K-12, in addition to
two-year schools. Since community college's are locally controlled, each must decide individually whether to convert or remain
on a quarter system.
"Safety is the right of every
student," states ASLCC
Senator Mike Stewart.
Concerned over the lack of
an organized evacuation plan
for disabled students, Stewart
and ASLCC Cultural Director
Rico Perez are requesting that
all students with physical impediments participate in a twoweek registration beginning
Nov. 2.
The registration will be held
at a desk across from the Student Resource Center (SRC)
on Mondays, Wednesday and
Fridays, 9 to 11 :30 a. m. and 1
to 2 p.m., and on Tuesday and
Thursdays from 10 to 11 :30
a.m. and 3 to 4 p.m.
Due to LCC's new
'Classline' registration system,
Perez says there is no way of
knowing how many disabled
students are attending LCC,
or what their disabilities are.
Since students no longer have
to come to campus, they may
fail to register at the Disabled
Student Support Services office, he explains.
"For the students' benefit,
there needs to be a precise
headcount and we need to
know what their disabilities
are," says Perez. He explains
that in the event of an evacuation, a student could be
seriously injured if moved improperly. The only way to prevent this, he states, is for
faculty members and security
to know what a student's
disabilities are.

However, five campuses are still undecided.
Doreen Dailey, Dean of Instruction at Southwestern Oregon .
Community College (Coos Bay), said a major issue at her school
is the impact the conversion would have on students. She stated
''Southwestern serves a large non-traditional and non-affluent
population.''
Dailey expressed concerns that changing the academic calendar could affect time commitments for adult students who
balance work, family, and community responsibilities. Changing the academic calendar could also affect students' income due
to the seasonal nature of major employment opportunities in
southwestern Oregon.

Oregon AIDS awareness push
elevates decorum controversy
A spokesperson from each school presented a brief update on
their campus' position on the conversion decision.
Chemeketa (Salem), Clackamas (Oregon City), Clatsop
(Astoria), Central Oregon (Bend), Linn-Benton (Albany),
Portland, Treasure Valley (Ontario), and Umpqua (Grants Pass)
community colleges have already decided to convert, the consensus being that it will ensure a smooth transfer for students who
are completing the first two years of a continuing education.
And, she continued, the increased up-front costs of semester
tuition and fees may decrease enrollment of non-affluent
students.
Dr. Robert Wesley, Dean of Instruction at Mt. Hood Community College, said ''No decision has been made yet ( at Mt.
Hood). We have spent time looking at schools that have converted and at students who will be caught in transition.''
He stated that 80 percent of the faculty who responded to a
walker," says Stewart. "We'd
like to know how they can best
be helped in an emergency. We
want an efficient and safe
system effectively implement
proper and safe evacuation
procedures.
While Dolores May, coordinator of Disabled Student
Support Services, says that
such a registration is never an
accurate count -- "there are
always some students who are
missed'' -- she believes it will
give a fairly good idea of how
many students are on campus.
Perez says he hopes the administration will use the information that the ASLCC
gathers and contact May to
formalize an organized
emergency evacuation plan.
''She has the information,
training, and the plan. I'm
hoping that once the information is out that the Administration will reach out to
Dolores May.''
Disabled students are encouraged to complete a
registration form between

AIDS awareness campaign,
which began Oct. 7. The
pamphlet describes a

available to newspapers,

public transit systems.
What to do about it, of
course, is the decision left
to the individual

Black Monday: Can computers crash market?
forum submitted by
Bill Burrows
Economics Instructor, Social Science Department
Say, how about that stock
markd? "Black Monday,"
'.'Unrestrained Panic," "Not
since '29." If I hear or read
one more account of last
week's market drama comparing it to "the BIG one" that
preceeded the Great Depression, I'll sell my USA TODAY
stock. Don't get me wrong;
economists appreciate a good
analogy/ simile/ allegory just
as much as the next person.
"A pretty girl is like a
melody," "Life is like a bowl
of cherries," "Your feet are
like icicles." No problem;
great fun. But saying that
"Monday's stock market
debacle is just like the crash of
'29" is as charming and accurate as saying, ''The Civil
War was just like Vietnam."
While it is true that there
was a plethora of casualties
last Monday, as well as on that
Monday in 1929, the causes
and consequences vary
dramatically.
How did you sleep Monday
night? Did you toss and turn
worrying about the state of the
economy? I' 11 guess you
didn't. And what about corporate America? I haven't
seen any accounts of threepiece-s ui ted executives or
Izod-Lacosted brokers diving
from windows. Why is that? Is
it because, as one bright student pointed out, most
skyscrapers no longer have
windows that open above the
third floor? Or does it have
something to do with fundamental, institutionalized
differences between the
economies of '87 and '29? I
would argue the latter.
Unlike the economy of precrash 1929, we have not had a
recent major recession,
unemployment and inflation
have been restrained, and
we're resisting impulses
toward nationalistic trade barriers. In addition, GNP is
strong, the CPI is favorable,·
the FDIC is solvent and the
FED is calm and responding
reasonably (suddenly I'm
craving alphabet soup).
Two reasonable questions
about now would be: "If the
economy is so stable then why
is the stock market so nuts?"
and "What-the-heck did cause
Monday's
phen.omenal
decline?''

those $500 billion dollar questions as there are economists
unabashedly answering them.
As the dust begins to settle,
however, a few culprits are
gaining more notoriety than
the rest. An early favorite appears to be ''programmed
trading.''
Briefly, this is a system
where computers trade stocks
very quickly in response to
even small changes in specific
sections of the market. This
can result in a large volume of
shares changing hands in very
brief time periods.
Overzealous IBM's, it is
argued, exaggerated what
should have been relatively
minor market fluctuations to a
point where unprogrammed
traders (the vast majority)
were following their electronic
lead mindlessly. A presidential
commission has already been
appointed to "look into" programmed trading. Can congressional hearings be far
behind?
While programmed trading
• is surely a reason for
legitimate concern, it is hard
to believe that congressionally
mandated electronic straightjackets for entrepreneurial
Apple II's will eliminate future
manic-depressive swings in the
market. The computers, after
all, are programmed by
humans to do what people
would've tried to do anyway.
The gadgets, bless their
silicone hearts, just do it
quicker.
What's more offensive: The use ofa word or
innocent people dying ofAIDS?
by Diane Davis
TORCH Editor
A recent column by Mike Royko
drove home the reality of living in fear
of AIDS. ·
Royko relates how a young woman
rushed to aid a man who collapsed on a
Chicago sidewalk and appeared to be
dying. She promptly performed
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the
stranger until paramedics arrived. To
her horror she discovered, when the
medics rolled up the man's sleeves, that
he was a mainlining junkie. And, as it
was later discovered according to
Royko, "he was not only a junkie, but
a gay junkie. And not only a gay
junkie, but one with bleeding gums."
I have followed Royko's accounts in
several columns on this woman's unsuccessful attempts to find out whether
or not this man has AIDS, and the difficulty she has had trying to persuade
someone to persuade him to take a
blood test.
Since she has been unsuccessful, she
must now undergo a series of tests
herself. But, in the words of a state
health official, reports Royko,
"there's no great hurry. It's not like
&he can go in and take a shot and
change anything." In other words, if
Page 2

she's got it, she's got it and that's that.
It's a scary idea that people will now
have to deliberate whether or not
they'll play good Samaritan to someone in need. Reports of lab workers
contracting the deadly disease through
cuts in their skin makes one think twice
•about assisting an injured, bleeding
person.
Due to the surprise and horror experienced by the woman mentioned in
Royko's column, one must now consider whether or not to perform cardi op u l mo nary resuscitation on
strangers.
Living with the reality of this deadly
disea_se, I find it incredulous that
anyone would complain or criticize
AIDS public awareness campaigns.
Some groups are offended by the use
of the word condom in advertisements.
Some say advertising the use of condoms promotes promiscuity.
I agree that abstinence from sex, and
monogamy in relationships should be
at the heart of our society -- and the
standards we teach our children.
While we may refuse to compromise
our own beliefs, nonetheless, our
neighbors might not agree with those
same beliefs. There will always be
those in every society who don't care a
The TORCH
bit about the rest of us. Those who live
for their own pleasures -- and the rest
of the world be damned.
Therefore, public awareness is
crucial to protect ourselves from those
irresponsible few.
We're at a point in our society where
we can either point the finger and
blame this disease on someone else, or
we can work together to rid the world
of it.
You see, it no longer matters how it
started or why. Innocent people are dying. Innocent children are dying.
Who really cares if you're offended
by the use of the word condoms in
advertisements? Who really cares if
you're offended by condom machines
in public restrooms?
After all, what's really important?
That you not be offended, or that your
child, rushed to a hospital emergency
room, will receive a "clean" blood
transfusion?
Being offended -- or getting prompt
and thoughtful care from medical experts?
Being offended -- or receiving lifesaving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
from a good samaritan who finds you,
or your child, or someone else you
love, unconscious on the street?
Given the inclination, we
can make an amazing mess of
things in minutes now rather
than in hours or days. If simply fettering our technological
tools of trading was the means •
by which to remedy the flaws
of the system, then why not do
the job right and unplug the
phones and word processors as
well? And what about those
new mechanical pencils? An
improvement upon something
so decent and basic as a lead
pencil must certainly be
suspected. The time spent getting the lead out the old
fashioned way, by turning a
crank on a sharpener, could
well provide the necessary
pause to allow calmer minds to
prevail in the midst of market
panic.
Surely it will take1 more than
technological res traints to
guarantee a market whose
aberrations don't threaten to
destroy itself. The stock
market is a real market; one of
the few sectors of the economy
that still r.emains within
shouting distance of what
Adam Smith envisioned as
free enterprise. There is little
that can be done to permanently calm the critter,
short of neutering it with
government regulation. While

Senate Rejects Bork
The Senate rejected the Supreme Court nomination of
Robert Bork by a 58-42 vote on Friday, Oct. 23.
The appellate judge became the 26th nominee in history
to be denied confirmation to the high court. He was the
11th candidate to be defeated by a full ·senate vote.
Six Republicans joined 52 Democrats in the largest
negative vote ever recorded for a Supreme Court nomination. Forty Republicans and two Democrats voted for confirmation.
Oregon's two Republican senators split their votes.
Mark Hatfield voted for confirmation while Bob
Packwood voted against.
Graduation Fee at OSU
Students at Oregon State University are upset at an administrative proposal of a $25 graduation fee. The money
would cover the costs of graduation ceremonies and printing of diplomas.
More than 100 students who attended a campus hearing
last week attacked the fee saying they shouldn't have to ·
pay for what they've already earned.
In the past, the $80,000 cost of graduation has been paid
from reserve funds and the budgets of more than a dozen
campus agencies involved with graduation.
Although they would still graduate, under the new proposal students who refuse to pay the fee would not receive
a formal copy of their diploma or the standard cover.
Several seniors warned that paying the fee would make
them think twice about contributing to the university's
Alumni Association or the OSU Foundation.
DeFazio Asks for Funds
Forest fires in Oregon and other Western states have
prompted Rep. Peter Defazio (D-Ore) and Richard
Lehman (D-Calif) to ask Congress for emegency funds to
rejuvenate the forests.
A letter, signed by 31 members of Congress, was sent to
Rep. Sidney Yates (D-Ill), chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee on the Interior Department
and other related agencies, DeFazio said. The letter stated
the US Forest Service and the federal Bureau of Land
Management claimed costs could approach $100,000,000
for restoration of the more than one million acres of land
burned in Oregon and California last summer and early
fall.

Opposition is growing in Lowell towards Lane County's
plan to build an inmate work camp on the banks of
Lookout Point Reservoir.
Residents are conducting petition drives, conducting

Lane County found itself in the middle of controversy
last June when it attempted to purchase the Shilo Retreat

Forum by Jeff Moisan
ASLCC President
The Oregon State Board of Higher Education decided some time ago that it would be nice
if all the four-year universities in Oregon
changed from a quarter system to a semester
system. This means that instead of taking a
class for 10 or 11 weeks, a college student
would enroll in a 15 or 16 week course. The
state has mandated that the conversion be accomplished by the fall of 1990 for four-year institutions.
When the decision was made, nothing was
really said about the fate of community colleges. The big decision facing them today is
whether to convert to the semester system or
stay on the quarter system. I recently found out
that only ftve community colleges in Oregon
are still undecided about converting. The rest
have decided in favor of the semester system
and are working on the nuts and bolts of changing their academic calendar. LCC is one of
those four in the state that are still undecided.
There are some major questions concerning
the conversion. For instance, if the U of O is on
a semester system and LCC remains on a
quarter system, how will this affect students
who are enrolled in both institutions concurrently, in terms of scheduling and transfer of
credits?
that option may be the lesser
of evils in the minds of some,
it should be approached with a
good deal of caution and
discussion, since government
intervention in the market •
place, like neutering, tends to
be permanent or at least very
difficult to reverse (I said
economists enjoy analogies, I
didn't say they excel at them).
What solution is there then,
short of restricting the stock
market to such a degree that it
becomes a misnomer, a
marketplace in name, not in
action? At least a minimum
level of regulation is
unavoidable and vital if the
stock market is to remain solvent into the future. For instance, there's now a
minimum of a 50 percent
margin requirement (percent
of purchase price that must be
payed at time of a stock purchase) as opposed to zero percent in 1929. Most agree that
the effect of that and similar
government rules has been a
positive one.
But what of government in-
The state considers two semesters of instruction as 32 weeks of class time, whereas three
quarters of instruction are considered 34 weeks
of class time.
Also, the state reimburses community colleges according to full-time student enrollment,
and amount of instruction time. If some community colleges are on semesters and some are
on quarters, which colleges will get priority in
terms of funding from the state?
If LCC does decide to convert, what will happen to those students whose first year is on the
quarter calendar and whose second year is on
the semester calendar?
My main concern about semesters is whether
we will be able to continue to provide flexibility
in our system to the community. For those
students who work during the summer and save
up for the school year, semesters mean a potentially shorter work period, especially for those
who work seasonal jobs.
I haven't collected enough information to
decide which system is better. Student government is interested in the opinions of the
students, so if anybody has strong feelings
about this issue, please fill out the surveys we
have available in the Student Resource Center,
located on the second floor of the Center
Building.
tervention in forms that
restrict the fundamental span,. taneity and opportunities for
profit in the stock market?
Without basic changes in the
short-run attitudes and aberrant psychology that have
driven the market in recent
times, the stock market, as a
result of its own excesses, will
cease to be an assumed tradition in a market economy (I
can almost hear Karl Marx
chanting, "I told you so, I told
you so ... ").
The stock market must
become more economically
sophisticated in at least two
respects. Long-run greed must
prevail over short-term gains
that have destructive influences on the source of profit, the system itself. In addition, a cultured appreciation
for experiences can serve as a
powerful catalyst for a fundamental, positive shift in the
psychology that drives Wall
Street or they can become
precursors to the demise of
what, for the time being, remains a relatively free market.

To the Editor:
I would like to reply to Mr.
Guerra's letter as a fellow
Hispanic. With an attitude
such as he expresses, it is no
wonder he has experienced
racial discrimination.
In the first place, not all
Hispanics go by the term
"Chicano." Personally, I like
to be identified as a person never mind the racial distinctions. When a term must be
used then Hispanic or Latino
is appropriate.
The term "Chicano" was in
vogue in the 70s when young
people from the barrios were
striving for identity and
recognition. Older Latinos
such as my parents and grandparents didn't care for the
term nor identified themselves
with the barrios. In time the
term went out of style just as
the term Afro-American went
out of style in the Black communities. This probably explains why Mr. Guerra hasn't
seen the term used recently.
Secondly, unless one learns
to assimilate themselves into
society, then they forever
doom themselves to walking
around with a chip on their
shoulder. Getting over the
obstacle starts by putting
distinctions aside and getting
on with living as a human being.
Being proud of one's culture
is admirable, but when pride

Interv iew: LCC Board memb er, Larry Perry
by Craig·Smith
TORCH Staff Writer
(Editor's Note: This is the first of a
series of interviews with members of
the LCC Board of Education. The
TORCH plans to publish interviews
with the other six members in the
months ahead. The one hour interview
with i..,arry Perry is compressed as
f()llows.)
Laurence (Larry) Perry has
served for 12 years on the LCC
Board of Education and is one
of its senior members. He
begins his fourth term this
year.
An instructor at South
Eugene High School, he
teaches political science and
history courses.
He has also served two
terms in the Oregon
Legislature as a representative
from Eugene.
TORCH: Would you consider
wrong. Some are fiscally more
conservative, and others are
more willing to take chances.
PERRY: Yes. If possible, I'd
be moving to lower tuition
each year. I'd like to see a
situation in which anyone who
could potentially benefit from
education or training would
have access to the college. A
lack of finances wouldn't prevent anyone from access.
TORCH: So obviously if there
•is going to be any debate on a
proposal you're working on,
you know the (board
members) you have to concentrate on or ...
yourself an advocate for easy
access to community colleges?
PERRY: Or forget it. If you
think in terms of efficiency,
Our conservative approach
along those lines has probably
been a retarding factor for
economic development in this
state. But, (changing) this will
require a state commitment.
For economic development,
the community colleges are
truly the key, or a major component. But they're nothing if
there's no access to them.

that. The tax base will take

TORCH: How did you
become interested in serving
on the LCC Board of Educa-:tion?
PERRY: I had served in the
legislature and had become
very interested in government,
whether on the state or local
level. And in dealing with state
matters, you're dealing with
community college matters
which are creatures of state
and local support and governance.
So, with background in
education, coupled with
(experience in government), it
adds up to an interest to serve
on a volunteer level and supplement the areas I teach in ...
. It's community interest.
TORCH: How does political
ideology affect the Board?
PERRY: Political ideology is
certainly something that affects your decisions. If you are
trying to decide on, for example, levels of tuition -- how
easy it is to get into community college -- you're talking
about decisions that have
political and ideological connotations. Easy access to
education tends to be more of
a progressive idea, certainly
not a conservative idea.
'Our conservative approach .. . has
probably been a retarding factor to
economic developme nt in this
state.'
what other problems do you
see LCC needing to deal with?
I don't think the idea of
"you're better off if you had
to work your way through" is
worth much at all.
TORCH: How does ideology
affect the relationships on the
Board? Are there liberals pitted against conservatives?
PERRY: The Board I think is
generally civil in terms of
members (relating) to each
other, or to college personnel.
After awhile, there are expectations of where members are
going to be on particular proposals, and sometimes you're

to schooling for many people.
How does this compare to
your general view of education?
PERRY: In terms of the com-
munity, economic development is miles ahead if it (the
community) has training
facilities that are easily accessible. The California example of
open community colleges and
open facilities for training did
wonders for a decade and a
California
for
half
economically.
PERRY: Well, as the local
media have frequently shown,
there are certainly some
morale problems. We still
haven't hit a smooth stride in
terms of all parts of the campus working together.
TORCH: Maybe we could get
more specific: As far a'S the
budget is concerned, what are
the board's projections arid
goals for financing?
PERRY: We believe enroll-
ment has bottomed-out, and
that there is slightly more support from government at the
state level -- at least with the
current administration for
community colleges.
Our answer at the present
for local financing is to get a
tax base that's updated .....
It's always difficult, but possible.

range financing via serial
levies, and into a more stable,
long-term financing with an
updated tax base?
PERRY: Yes, it's on-going.
It's a matter of convincing the
public that we will use the
money wisely. And we will.
TORCH: The responsiblity of
allocating resources is usually
handled by the college administration. How does the
Board of Education operate in
relationship to the administration on this issue?
The board, of
course, must rely on a competent administration and faculty, generally.
The board members divide
up the budget and look at sections of it individually. And
then we look at the whole
budget at general budget hearing meetings.
Last time around we had a
lot of input because of people
who were going to be affected.
(They were not convinced)
they had enough input prior to
the budget hearing. ''Budget
Committee meetings" is what
they are, but they turned out
to be "hearings."
Very few changes were
made in what the administration had proposed. A whole
lot more assurances were given
to people involved in programs being cut. We insisted
on the administration meeting
more with some of those
groups. (But) in terms of
dollar amounts being changed
PERRY:

from one area to another, not
much happened.
I do think there will be
changes in the process of last
year's procedures. There will
be more opportunity for input
before we get a budget proposal to us.
TORCH: President Turner
took a lot of heat concerning
the budget cuts. One issue was
the (alleged) lack of communication and input between
the administration and affected groups. Has President
Turner learned from that experience?
PERRY: There is no question
in my mind that Dr. Turner
received some flak, partly due
to the position he's in for having to make those announcements. I think it would
be unrealistic to assume that is
the reason all the flak came
about.
We are still building a
system of communication. It
isn't happening well enough
yet. People who are going to
be affected -- significantly -by decisions have tp have opportunities for input before
those decisions are made. And
when that doesn't occur, there
is bound to be a reaction.
TORCH: Yes, but Dr. Turner
has always maintained he has
been open to communkation.
Do you think he will take some
serious steps to deal with (a
contrary perception to) that?
PERRY: Well, Dr. Turner has
taken some steps in that direction and has worked towards
that. I don't know if we know
the results of that yet.
TORCH: The faculty is one
group you might be alluding
to ...
PERRY: Or the classified
employees. They took some
real bruises in those budget
proposals, some real bruises.
Regardless of what position a
group has on campus, when
you make decisions that affect
that group, opportunities must
be given to that group for input. When you talk about
decisions having impact,
regardless of who those people
are on the campus, they need
to be included, they need to be
given the opportunity for input before decisions are made.
It's easy to see the impact of
somebody losing a job because
of decisions. But the impact
on morale of saying, "Well,
here's the decision we've
made; and we've changed
what we hired you to do -- or it
wasn't important enough what
we hired you to do -- and we
ha ve you now doing
something else' ' without ever
telling anyone we're going to
be doing it, there's just a major. .. well, I don't have to
keep drilling on that I guess.
TORCH: How long has President Turner been on campus?
PERRY: Three years. He's in
his fourth year now.
TORCH: Was there a hiring
committee . . . that made
recommendations on whom to
hire?
PERRY: Sure, it was a very
broad-based committee.
TORCH: Was there any
foreshadowing
that
whatever problems have arisen
now (also existed at other colleges where he served as president) as far as his communication?
PERRY: No. President's take
flak, I'm sure, anywhere they
are.
TORCH: It gets back to recent
events. (This summer) the
school board unanimously
reconfirmed
President
Turner's contract and gave
him a raise. I think a lot of
people didn't quite understand
... I think that came as a surprise ... Can you comment on
how the board reached (its)
conclusion?
PERRY: I really cannot comment on what occurred in executive committee meetings or
the evaluation meetings.
TORCH: . . . I didn't read
about any descension in the
group, which was kind of surprising when you have such a
bi-partisan group ...
PERRY: I don't think it
should be curious. I think the
law provides as it should, that
with any employee, the evaluation be done in the most
effective way, in executive session.
TORCH: So I guess what it
comes down to is how do people express
. their
dissatisfaction?
PERRY: Well, that's a whole
different kind of matter . . .
they can do it publicly, or they
can do it more privately -- they
contact board members, they
write, or they make phone
calls. And that occurs on occasion.
The board has requested, as
a matter of fact . . . information from staff, all staff, in
evaluations. We put together a
survey and solicited information.
TORCH: I did know that.
PERRY: So, that's an oncampus vehicle. Off campus,
as I say, people do make contacts.
TORCH: (In decisions like
these, is there pressure for
consensus?)
PERRY: Yes, there is a
pressure toward concensus.
It's more of a practice on
school boards, for example,
than in the legislative bodies.
I'm not sure, but I think
you'd probably find more controversy, or splits on issues
with the city council, or the
county commissioners, or the
legislature than you will with
school boards. There is an attempt to work towards concensus. There must be on
councils and commissfons as
well. I guess the emphasis
though, in those bodies, is
more on . . . counting votes,
and if you have the votes, go
with them.
TORCH: (With those bodies)
the political and public kinds
of debate is more accepted -possibly because it is the
political arena. Whereas, the
board seems to deemphasize
obviously political ideology,

Barton is also considering

TORCH: Does this kind of
operating concensus work well
for the LCC Board of Education, or does it stifle.
PERRY: That's a good question, a good question. It works
well enough I guess . . .
perhaps there are times when it
would do well to make differences, as reflected in some
of the voting. But usually, the
concensus tends to modify
decisions and bring about a
more united effort to carry out
the proposal, project, or
policy. '
I guess I'd have to say the
concensus works. It's probably the best route for school
boards.
TORCH: With the reservation, like you just said, the
problem is obviously someone
has to shut-up.
PERRY: No, not "shut-up" .

does tend to make issues a bit
more blurred.

has received several calls
from concerned citizens, and
"it's five-to-one in favor of
our running them, even
though they (readers) haven't
seen the content yet."
The organizers of the
campaign say the ads do not
condone promiscuous
behavior.
''There is nothing in the
program to promote
promiscuity," declares Keil.
The ads promote abstinence
from sex, maintenance of
monogamous or long-term
relationships, and the use of
condoms, he states.
The AIDS campaign is
directed toward the general
public, and doesn't target any
specific group of people,
according to Keil.
Although several of the
advertisements sent to
newspapers state-wide use the
words homosexuals, IV drug
users, and prostitutes in the
headlines, Keil says the ads
are "all based upon
education (of the public)
about the disease. If you
inform the public of the
health risks, you allow the
public to make an informed
decision. That's the goal of
the program.''
transmitted route. And the
ads have become
controversial because they
contain material which some
newspaper editors and
broadcasters believe promotes
promiscuity, or is in poor
taste.
According to an article
printed in The RegisterGuard, three out of nine
daily newspapers in Oregon
decided not to use the ads
because of such material.
Others, including the
Oregonian, will print only
those advertisements which
do not suggest the use of
condoms, according to the
article.
The Register Guard is still
undecided on whether to use
the free advertisements,
according to General
Manager Fletcher Little. "In
all likelihood, we will run
them, but it's a matter of
which ones to use and our
budget.
"Normally, the only public

It's a fact that AIDS does

It's a fact that the only

abstinence from sex or safe sex
practices.
It's a fact that everyone can
avoid getting the AIDS virus.
And, it's a fact that anyone
living a lifestyle which includes
having numerous sexual partners, or using intravenous
drugs, should take the AIDS
test.
.Once the decision is made to
take the AIDS test, there are
several options available. One
option would be to ask a

physician's offer confidential

may become part of the

• The second is by contaminated blood entering the blood system. This occurs most commonly with IV drug users who share hypodermic
needles.
• The third form of transmission is from an infected mother to her unborn child.
Although the virus may be found in the bodily
fluids and secretions of an infected person -semen, blood, vaginal fluids, urine, and feces -- a
report by Surgeon General C. Everett Koop emphasizes that tests performed on 750 health care
workers exposed to AIDS patients revealed that
only three, who had accidentally stuck
themselves with a needle, had a positive antibody
test for exposure to the AIDS virus.
~' A person acquires the virus,'' the report continues, '' during sexual contact with an infected
person's blood or semen, and possibly vaginal
secretions.''
According to the report the virus is not
"casually" contagious. "There is no known risk
of non-sexual infection in most of the situations
we encounter in our daily lives. We know that
family members living with individuals who have
the AIDS virus do not become infected except
through sexual contact.'' Therefore, there is no
evidence of transmission from casual contact
with individuals who have the AIDS virus, eating
in restaurants (even if a restaurant worker has
AIDS or carries the AIDS virus), or swimming in
public pools.
According to current statistics, most people infected with the AIDS virus will never develop
AIDS, but still can spread the disease through
unprotected sexual intercourse, or by sharing
hypodermic needles.
A few people who become infected with the
virus will eventually develop AIDS. Symptoms
of AIDS may include: shortness of breath accompanied by a persistant cough and fever -which may indicate pneumocystis carinii
pneumonia (PCP); or purple blotches on the skin

"confidential" testing, but she
says, most of the people who
test at White Bird use the
anonymous program.
Anonymous testing is funded by the state. Anonymity
means the patient's name is
never known, and no records
are kept.
To guarantee this secrecy,
the clinic assigns a number to a
person requesting AIDS
testing. An individual seeking
an anonymous blood test at
White Bird asks to see 'Paul'
as a way of signaling the
special request. The receptionist asks the patient to fill
out the appropriate papers.
The testing is free and the
results take two weeks.
However, if the person wants
to pay for the test, he/ she can
obtain the results within 5-10
days. But White Bird's confidential tests cost $30.
Confidentiality means the
patient's name is known
through medical records, but
is protected. Although there is
a medical chart to fill out, the
blood sample sent to the state
is monitored on a numbered,
protected basis.
At the Lane County Health
Department, AIDS testing is
performed only on a
'confidential' basis. Jeannette
Bobst, Public Health Service
manager, says the test results
are kept in files and only one
person has access to those
files. The information does
not become a part of the individual's medical record.
"Our (confidential) system
means that the client's name is
kept in our agency's file
system, but when their blood
lab work is sent to the state for
testing, then their file is
entered on a number file
system. When their lab work is
returned to us, we match the
number to the name on file,"
explains Bobst. •
Bobst says the confidential
system allows the department

assistance, if necessary. "If a
testing system is improved or
there is some medication we
can offer to a client, we can
contact that person and offer

program then there is no way
of reaching them," says
Bobst.

Support Services for individuals who test positive, or
for those who know someone

Southern Oregon Shanti Project, (SOSP).
The word Shanti in Sanskrit, an ancient language of

the Shanti program offers support, inner peace, and serenity
to those personnally affected
by AIDS.
SOSP coordinator Rev. Ken

We have to educate them in
their emotions. AIDS is a

At present Shanti has 60

The Surgeon General warns, however, that
AIDS can only be diagnosed by qualified health
professionals.
Some people who become infected will develop
a condition known as AIDS Related Complex
(ARC). According to Koop, the symptoms of
ARC, which are less severe than those of classic
AIDS, include: drastic weight loss, persistent
fever, frequent night sweats, swollen lymph
nodes, fatigue, recurring diarrhea, and presistant
skin rashes.
There is a test for the AIDS virus, which determines the presence of HTL V-III antibodies in an
infected person. (See related story).
Currently, according to the Willamette AIDS
Council, more than 42,370 AIDS cases have been
reported nationally, with 24,698 deaths.
In Oregon, 254 AIDS cases have been
discovered, with 136 deaths. Out of 13 people
diagnosed in Lane County, 11 have died.
Cond oms cause conflict
by Diane Davis
TORCH Editor
An editorial entitled "Sluts or Studs, which are you?" ignited a
community-wide controversy over the installation of condom vending
machines at Bellevue Community College in Washington.
The editorial, which appeared in the colleges' student newspaper,
commented on the installation of the machines in both the women's
and men's restrooms, as well as the student union.
Bellevue joined colleges in Ohio, Minnesota, California, Nebraska
and Florida in installing condom machines on campus. The machines
are only one of a number of strategies the schools are using to increase
awareness of AIDS among college young people, including an increased focus on abstinence and monogamy in Health classes, and offering
confidential AIDS testing at Student Health Centers.
According to Luana Joslin, director of Bellevue's Student Health
Center, the installation of the condom machines came as a surprise to
administrato rs.

at
Joslin says a female student
research the lack of readily accessible condoms, ''they're not in convenience stores," "you have to go to bars to get them at night." The student discovered a means of having the machines installed on campus
at a profit to the college.
''When we came back from spring break, they were in, and nobody
had O.K.'d it. You have to realize we sit right across the street from
the Mormon Temple, in a very conservative neighborhood. The article
in the school newspaper sensationalized it, and then the local
newspaper picked up on it. Then CAIRO News got a hold of the story.
Then the local.ABC affiliate called to do a story on it. We received letters from the Chamber of Commerce, the mayor, and the college's
Board of Trustees.''
While Joslin says the controversy began "as one of the biggest
headaches," it has calmed down, and the machines are now an accepted part of the campus.
One of the arguments Joslin used in favor of the machines was, she
says, the fact that between 10 to 12 percent of all students visiting
Bellevue's Health Center are seeking care for sexually transmitted
diseases. According to her this is a nationwide average.
LCC, which installed condom vending machines in some men's
restrooms around 12 years ago, has no immediate plans to install them
in women's facilities, says Sandy Ing, director of Student Health Services (SHS).
"We are thinking about going a little more public and placing signs
in the restrooms that condoms are available in Student Health.''
SHS sells condoms, "no flavors or colors" at a cost of six for $1.
"They're just your ordinary condoms."
SHS encourages students who want an AIDS blood test to seek the
free services available at either Lane County Health Services or White
Bird Clinic.
"We do offer confidential testing, but we charge a fee, approximately $25. But," Ing states, "students should only seek testing if
they're in a high-risk group.
High risk groups are intravenous drug users and people with multiple sex partners.

In sport I trust. Just as I was beginning to sink for the
third time, the NFL and Eric Dickerson saved me.
Occasionally, if you're a sportswriter, or real lucky, you
will see the light. Athletics are not simply games to pass the
time. Life is just the time fans have between games.
Only winning and selling lite beer are real, and then only
if you get paid the big bucks.
Such a simple, beuatiful and elegant vision, and I almost
lost sight of it. I don't know why I didn't simply trust
Monday Night Football. It's never let me down before.
Monday, Oct. 26, and Eric Dickerson, my hero. What a
combination!
His record says it all. He's the prototype professional
athlete. He is good enough to humiliate other athletes,
dominating the NFL in his rookie season.
Then, displaying his true abilities and worth for the first
time, he pronounced his private religion, PROFESSIONALISM. Dickerson, after one season, demanded to
renegotiate his contract.
You can bet he didn't say please. That's for quarterbacks, wimps, and placekickers. Because he was awesome
in his might and righteousness, the Los Angeles Rams
buckled under to the new hero of the masses.
Sissies always make conciliatory speeches when ending
hold-outs. It keeps the team, coaches, and management
happy. Dickerson refused. He needs no team. Teamwork
and comraderie are crutches for weaklings.
A lesser man would have rested on his laurels, but not
Eric Dickerson. Dickerson is unhappy with the Rams
again. It is time for a monthly readjustment to his five year
contract.
Dickerson sat out most of the Monday Night Football
game, for no real reason other than his pay dispute. Showing them, Dickerson continued his semi-strike, even after
replacement running back Charles White was forced out
with an injury.
The biggest thrill of the night for all of us Dickerson
fans was on a fourth and one play, late in the game. Eric
Dickerson could have made the first down hopping with
one foot behind his back. Needless to say, LA failed on the
attempt, and ultimately lost a fairly close game.
The thrills weren't over, however. Tuesday's sportspages have a quote from LA coach, John Robinson,
claiming Dickerson didn't play due to injury.
Dickerson almost fooled us. He did admit to a little
"charley-horse," but before I could get upset at this terrible behavior, Dickerson threw his shot. He'll be ready next
week, but doesn't want to play.
Eric Dickerson, a true sportsman. Part of what makes
sports so uplifting.

The LCC men's cross country team will set
forth this Saturday, Oct. 31, hoping to pull a
few tricks upon the competition during the
District IV Championship Meet at Mciver
Park, Oregon City.
Coach Kevin Myers feels very optimistic, as
he has been grooming his young squad with the
goal of reaching peak conditioning this week.
Since the first meet of the fall, Myers has
made the district championship the main focal
point of the year .

Lane's strongest runner to date has been
second-year man Matt Turnow. Right behind
Turnow has been fellow veteran, Mike
Bordenkircher.
Under the careful developement of Myers,
the crew of first-year runners have improved
rapidly, gaining much needed confidence in
their endurance over the longer collegiate
courses.
Hoping to build upon their last outing, the
Clackamas Invitational, where the entire squad
improved, are Rick Virgin, Mike McGraw, and
Gary Carpenter.
Following a tough, three
game loss at home to
Chemeketa on Oct. 14, the
LCC women's volleyball team
rebounded to defeat the
Western Oregon State College
junior varsity squad two weeks
later.
On Oct. 27, LCC travelled
to Monmouth for a nonleague match with the fouryear school's junior varsity
team. In perhaps their most
impressive victory of the
season to date, Lane swept the
match, 15-13, 15-7, 15-9.
During the contest, Trimnell
collected six kills, and teammate Sonja Strand blasted
three service aces.
During the Chemeketa
match, LCC veteran and team
leader Lisa Harrison aggravated an ankle injury. According to teammates, Harrison played in great pain, and
at less than top efficientcy.
Titan hitters Candy
W eischedel and Sam Trimnell
each collected seven kills in the
15-12, 15-9, 15-6 defeat.
The final league home game
for the Titans is Friday, October 30, against Linn Benton
at 7 p.m .. Admission is free.
Mother-daughter team wins ASLCC posts
by Muriel Willingham
for The TORCH
On the surface, their lives appear so intertwined
as to make them an inseparable unit: two women,
both full-time LCC students who share a common
interest in student government and business
management.
Yet, their's is more than just a close friendship.
The two women are Heidi and Barbara von
Ravensberg, a mother-daughter team serving as
treasurer and vice president, respectively, of this
year's ASLCC cabinet.
Campaigning was not a major effort for either
woman. Heidi, who ran unopposed, mostly just
urged people to vote. Barbara's efforts were concentrated within her department, in the form of
"one-on-one education," as she describes it.
Students in the hospitality programs don't usually
get involved with campaigns.
While they seem inseparable on campus, they do
have different areas of interest within the activities
they share. Heidi is interested in the budget and
financial aspects of student government, while Barbara sees a need to increase student participation in
both ASLCC and Phi Theta Kappa, the honor
society.
Barbara, 52, is a second-year student in the
culinary and hospitality program.
Heidi, 23, is a sixth-year student who will receive
a fourth LCC degree in June.
Both women say that at this juncture in their
lives, school and activities consume nearly all their
time.
Time is a commodity Barbara has never had
much of as a mother to three ambitious children.
Heidi and her older brother and sister were active in
4-H and the two sisters dance roller skated
throughout their school years. Barbara shared their
activities as a 4-H leader, a skating judge, and a
volunteer in the schools.

survey were against conversion, and that Mt. Hood is going through a democratic process in deciding the issue, and ·
it's still "up in the air."
Rouge Community College
(Grants Pass) is also undecided, according to Stu Baker,
Dean of Instruction.''
Baker said that concerns at
his campus include costs of
converting, flexibility of entry I exit days, faculty
workloads, and the impact of
financial aid distribution.
Blue Mt. Community College (Pendleton) solicited in put from the campus, and
"the faculty said 'no' to converting."
A major problem, according to the college's Dean
John Howlett, is the Vocational Technology programs.
A suggested solution was to
have semesters divided into
two eight-week sessions.
Also instituting a survey approach, Jacquelyn Belcher,
vice president for Instruction
at Lane Community College,
said "We raised the question
to the college community with
no clear-cut response."
Belcher, who is chairperson
of an LCC quarter vs.
semester task force, said the
the courses, took a deep breath and started looking
around for what else to do, student government an·d
clubs were a natural. I'd wanted to try for it, kept
my ears open, wasn't sure where to find them. I
found somebody who mentioned student government, and I was attracted to that."
At a Business Department banquet last year,
Heidi received a Wall Street Journal student
achievement award. The department's instructors
nominated her for the award, and she won a
paperweight and a year's subscription to the paper.
She was also selected as the recipient of a scholarship from the American Council for the Blind,
which sent her to its national convention in Los
Angeles last July.
Last year was also a special pleasure because
Heidi and Barbara's schedules were similar and
more easily coordinated. Aside from their classes,
the pair were active in the honor society, Phi Theta
Kappa.
This year, besides ASLCC, Barbara is involved
with the Culinary and Food Club, for which she
serves as vice president.
The mother-daughter team explains their plans
for the future.
''Three years ago Heidi and I started putting
plans together for what we wanted to do,'' Barbara
recalls. "We did a lot of research, took the business
planning courses and seminars, and graduated from
that program. We're working toward our own
business, so she (Heidi) went the business route,
and I went the culinary and hospitality route.
"Last year, inn-keeping was added to the
management program, which was exactly the direction we wanted. We, decided I'd jump in, and I
,
have. I love it. I'm a full-time student."
Asked what they see for themselves in four or five
years, Barbara replies, "I think we'd be in inns in
some fashion." Heidi adds, "Hopefully, selfemployed."
Barbara continues, "We put together a five-year
program, and it seems to be going well. Heidi will
need two years at the U of Oto complete a business
degree, and we'd like her to have an MBA.''
The obviously close team has developed a way of
coordinating their lives that works well. Looking
ahead, they see additional time demands from their
new positions with the ASLCC.
But, both are clearly enjoying what they're doing, know where they want to go, and are confident
that they'll get there.
from page 1 - - -- -- - -- - -- -- -- -- -- - - - - - - - -- - - - survey was sent to all bargaining unit members and administrative staff members at
LCC. Responses were received
from 40 percent of the faculty,
27 percent of classified, and 50
percent of the administrators.
The faculty leaned towards
opposition, while classified
and administrative staff
members supported the conversion.
Primary reasons given in
support of conversion on the
LCC survey included:
• Ability to mesh with fouryear schools.
• Improves service to
transfer students, co-enrolled
students, and reverse-transfer
students.
• Allows more time to
develop and study subjects in
depth.
• Enhances opportunities to
provide mini-courses or more
open-entry/open-exit offerings.
Primary reasons for not
converting included:
• Limits course offerings
and/ or number of courses a
student may take.
• Reduces student flexibility
and options (e.g. fewer entry
points).
• Does not fit m1ss1on of
community colleges. (Students
tend to be older, less degreeoriented, and more interested
in skill training).
• Does not work well for
noncredit offerings or skill
training courses.
• Strains students' interest.
HB2913
Realizing how difficult the
transition could be for community colleges, the 1987
Oregon Legislature set out to
indentify how it could be accomplished with minimum
problems for transfer
students. The result was HB
2913.
A committee has been formed with administrators from
community colleges, and the
four-year state colleges and
universities, to accomplish the
goals established by the bill.
Jack Carter, Vice President
of Student Services at LCC, is
a member of the HB 2913
. committee. Carter says '' The
committee's purpose is twofold." The first duty·, he says,
is "To the extent possible,
come up with a .common
course numbering system."
Secondly, to "Come to an
agreement so that all A.A.
degress will meet general
education lower division requirements at state four-year
colleges." All of the schools in
the State System of Higher
Education would accept community college A.A. degrees in
place of their current inretransfer
dividual
quirements.

TORCH Associate Editor
LCC's Electronics Department is the recipient of a
cryogenic unit, thanks to a
donation from the Rheen Corporation.
Cryogenics is the science of
low-temperature phenomena.
Bob Vogel, Electronics
Department head, says "LCC
is the first community college
in the northwest to receive
one."
According to instructor
Wilson Smith, ''The machine
is used in bio-research, and for
bloodbanks and spermbanks.
It is also used to store plants
that are becoming extinct so
they can be brought back
photo by Michael Primrose
later.''
The machine has a 22 cubic
foot storage capacity and a
temperature of minus 85
degrees Celsius.
Smith says, ''The machine is
a teaching aid for students to
get hands-on experience in
cryogenics.''
A class in Cryogenics begins
Spring Term and Smith called
the machine the "missing
link" in the curriculum.
Students will learn "exotic
refrigeration" and how to service the machine.
The unit is worth about
$5,000, according to Vogel,
and a year's service, of the
machine, valued at $1,000 was
included in the donation.

Scare up some Hallowe en horror
by Julie Crist
TORCH Entertainment Editor
Halloween has crept up on
us again. But don't be alarmed
if your eve' threatens to be
frightfully dull. We've scared
up a few entertainment ideas
to flesh out your "night of
fright."
Evil lurks deep in the heart
of mild-mannered Eugene, at
751 w. 7th. An innocent looking house, really. But - what's
that lurking in the shadows of
the front yard? Egads! It has
claws! It has fangs! And its
bigger than a poodle! Quick inside before it sees us!
Dashing up the porch stairs
and in the front door, we're
faced with - Oh no, a cashier!
She's grabbing and cackling
insanely, and she's holding a
rat. She wants money, and
threatens to sic her trained attack rat on us if we don't give
her $3 (unless you're 12 or
under, then it's only $2).
And who is this helpful
looking young man? Oh, he
will be our escort. He beckons
us to follow closely, and we
wind our way through the
shadows. We round the first
corner, and a hand .....
Sorry, but our reviewer
didn't come back, so that's all
we can tell you. She did leave a

Rd.) next to Marist High
School. Hours are 6:45-11

beastly bushes in the havnted
backyard. Also, be certain to
stand in line behind a small
child. The tour is led single
file, and everybody must hold
hands. I stood behind the
Eugene arm wrestling champion, who was so brave that he
almost broke my hand.
"Scream in the Dark" is
well-thought-out and professionally done - probably the
best haunted house in town.
For those of you who would
prefer just to watch a movie,
with your eyes closed, don't
miss "Prince of Darkness,"
playing at the Valley River
Cinema World. It's about a
nine on the chicken-heart
fright factor scale of one to
ten. Old Scratch is at it again,
homesteading in the basement
of a cathedral, making
believers out of skeptical
scientists, and commanding
legions of killer bag-ladies. It's
an old theme with some
1980's-type modifications,
which starts out with all kinds
of potential, and ends up being just another scary story.
But scary it definitely is. Pay
attention to the head bag-lady.
She looks just like Alice
Cooper.
So you see, there's no
reason to dread a boring night
of re-runs and sporadic trickor-treaters. In the words of
somebody famous, "You have
nothing to fear but that big,
hairy thing waiting for you
around the corner.''

The TORCH
The artist is second year
LCC student Valentine
Guerra. He says that although
changes are hard for a man to
accept, "his optimism is
represented by the dominant
use of warm colors" in the
mural.
Airbrushed on an 8'x 9'
piece of linen, the mural was
made as a gift for Guerra's
sister. The woman on the left
top corner of the mural
represents her, while the use of
triangles and other symbols
represent the changing man.
Guerra and his family are
originally from Texas. He is
majoring in art at LCC and
says, "My goal is to become a
mural painter.''
