I(' E ~ It y Ski season is approaching and that means all you Mogul Mashers, Powder Plowers, Downhill Demons, and first season Wannabee's need to start getting in shape. Like any sport, condition your body gradually. Don't overwork the first week or two. Work out every other day during the first week. On following weeks, work out two to three days in a row, followed by one day of rest. Rest is important because tramautized muscles, or strained ligaments are going to set your training schedule back and possibly hamper your performance during ski season. To get ready for ski season, I concentrate on my cardiovascular system, muscular flexibility, and leg-strength during workouts. • CARDIOVASCULAR: I think training on a bicycle, stationary bike, or rowing machine are exercises best suited for improving endurance, and they also strengthen leg muscles. I think training on a bicycle, stationary bike, or rowing machine are exercises best suited for improving endurance, and they also strengthen leg muscles. I begin at a resistance that can be maintained for at least 12 minutes. Eventually, I work up to 20 to 30 minutes of perspiration-packed power pedaling. • STRETCHING: After my cardiovascular work-out, my muscles are warmed up. This is the ideal time to stretch. Again, start slowly. I begin by stretching my thighs. Standing on one leg, I touch my buttock with the heel of my foot on the opposite leg. Grabbing hold of the foot, I pull it towards me until I feel a good stretch. I do this for two or three sets, for at least 20 seconds each set. , Other key areas I stretch are my hamstrings, inner thighs, see Ski, page 7 Wolfe resigns from ASLCC position by Robert Ward TORCH Associate Editor Citing a ''hiding of money'' and poor lines of communication with the college administration, ASLCC Communications Director Bob Wolfe resigned his position at the Nov. 9 ASLCC Senate meeting. Wolfe claimed he's quitting because of a "lack of ability to create a process to perform (my duties) the way I want." He also said priorities toward career goals were part of his consideration. Among other allegations, Wolfe charged that student government has an 'unbudgeted $25,000 to spend, but that ASLCC Adviser Jay Jones is "hiding it from the students. ''Jay has shown me an account book ledger with a $25,200 carry-over. But I question the process of how TORCH editor resigns position the ASLCC is informed about the carry-over.'' Wolfe claims the monthly computer print-out sheets of ASLCC's budget doesn't show the existence of the carry-over, which is part of the revenue from the $5 fee the college collects from students registering each term. During a telephone interview after the meeting, Jones told The TORCH . that the carry-over is documented. He said that he traditionally recommends a $10,000 carryover from year-to-year to prC?tect student government programs from a potential drop in student enrollment. He stated it's also good business sense. However, he explained, ''If I say we have $25,000 at the beginning of the year, then students get the idea they must spend it. But (during Fall Term) students on the Senate haven't learned how to spend and budget yet." For example, Jones said he informed last year's ASLCC about a $19,000 carry-over from 1985-86. He stated that last year's ASLCC, after spending months researching equipment, then spent $9,000 of that amount to buy reader boards for the cafeteria and SRC, and a MacIntosh computer, printer, and hardware to· share with the Legal Services program. This year's ASLCC President Jeff Moisan said later that there is some validity to the charge (on the visibility ~f the carry-over). "The carryover is not a constant figure. It depends on how many students enroll, and how much we spend. I was aware of the carry-over. I understand Jay's reasoning for not bringing it out in the open, but I think that this group is responsible enough to deal with the carryover as part of our budget." . Wolfe also criticized Vice President of Instruction J ac- quelyn Belcher's explanation of the purpose and rationale of Self-Support classes to the Senate at the Nov. 2 ASLCC meeting. '' I think Belcher treated us like a bunch of high-schoolers. She didn't respond to our intelligent and probing questions,'' he said. Wolfe stated Belcher didn't address the ASLCC with respect and intelligence, and that she "used analogies to explain concepts and discriminating features in the (Self-Support) program. She wouldn't talk to the Board of Education that way." Moisan said he is "Sorry to see him (Wolfe) go because he is very talented in his position as Communications Director. He will be hard to replace. However, Bob's presence in ASLCC has created friction among other (ASLCC) members, and his resignation may allow us to operate more efficiently.'' by Robert Ward TORCH Associate Editor Stating it was a ''very hard decision to make" TORCH Editor Diane Davis resigned on Mon. Nov. 9, effective at the end of the term. She stated "due to personal obligations" she would be unable to continue in the position. Pete Peterson, editorial and news adviser for the TORCH said, "It's important to note no TORCH editor has ever worked harder in matching staff, and editing and writing. She has certainly forged an organization that will continue to produce first-rate newspapers for TORCH readers. She's been a firstclass editor.'' The Media Commission, primarily the policy-making body for student publications, met in an emergency session on Thursday, Nov. ·12, to discuss the procedure for selecting a new editor. The Commission agreed to advertise the position for a two week period, according to its governing guidelines. It also discussed the potential option of appointing the associate editor to the position. Students interested in applying for the position may pick up applications at the TORCH, Cen. 205. Applicants must have completed at least six LCC credits on the main campus within 12 months prior to his/her application. Deadline for applications is noon on Nov. 25. The Commission will interview applicants and select the new editor on Dec. 7. New loans mean long-term debt for students Forum by Jeff Moisan Income Contingent Loan Program (ICLP): What is it and how does it affect the student? The Reagan Administration has created a new brainchild in the field of post-secondary financial aid called the Income Contingent Loan Program. Congress approved $5 million for 1988, with reductions in other areas of financial aid. The Secretary of Education, William Bennett, has hailed this new program as "the most exciting development in student aid in over a decade.'' Is the !CLP what they say? The Income Contingent Loan Program is in actuality a dangerous development for News Tracking compiled by Robert Ward both current and future students. The followng is an excerpt from a United States Student Association (USSA) bulletin: "The !CLP allows students to borrow money (first year-$2,500; second year-$3 ,500; third-fifth years-$4,000) much like the Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) program. Interest accrues at the annual Treasury bill rate average plus 3 percent (the "special allowance" for the banks), but is not subsidized by the federal government. Therefore, the student must pay interest while attending school, or allow it to accrue each year, resulting in a higher level of debt upon leaving school. The student's payment rate is contingent upon his or her income after leaving school (hence the name of the program). There is no time limit on repayment, and at no time will a borrower be asked to pay more than 15 percent of his/her income per month. The Department of Education is selling this as a big plus, but the !CLP means long-term debt subject to changing interest rates -- this translates into much greater payments over time by borrowers. People with lower income will end up paying more because they pay longer.'' As you can see, the ICLP is not in the best interests of the student. We as students need to tell our legislative representatives that the !CLP is not a good idea. The ASLCC has the addresses of all our representatives, and will pay postage for any letters written to them concerning this issue. TORCH Associate Editor Bennett Proposes Changes Secretary of Education William Bennett said last week that he planned to draw up strict new guidelines that could make hundreds of schools ineligible for federal financial aid. Under his plan, beginning in 1990, colleges, universities, and other educational institutions would be disqualified from receiving Federal education grants and loans if their default rate in the Guaranteed Student Loan program exceeded 20 percent. According to statistics released by the Education Department, 32 percent of institutions currently in the loan program would be disqualified if those standards were applied now. The default rate is based on the percentage of students who were scheduled to begin repaying their loans in 1985 and had failed to do so by 1986. Under that definition, 2,190 of the 7,295 institutions had default rates above 20 percent. Five hundred institutions had a default rate above 50 percent. Some higher education officials criticized Bennett's plan saying schools with low-income students would be penalized because they traditionally have higher default rates. Officials also noted that current students would be penalized for former students' defaults. Fee Raised on GSLs Students who take out Guaranteed Student Loans (GSL) as of Oct. 20 will pay a 5.5 percent fee, up from 5 percent. For example, the fee on a $2,500 GSL rose from $125 to $137 .50. The government also made a slight reduction in the subsidy it provides to bankers to encourage them to offer loans to students. Although the reductions were relatively minor, they may be only the first in a series of deeper reductions in federal spending on education and research. President Reagan took the first step in imposing the cuts when he announced two weeks ago that financing for most education programs would be reduced by 8.5 percent beginning Nov. 20. The reductions would take effect if Congress and the President cannot agree on another way to slash $23 billion from the deficit by that date. Under the new version of the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings deficit reduction law, across-the-board cuts will-be imposed if Congress and the President have not sufficiently reduced the budget. Even though the two parties have several weeks to work out a plan to avoid the automatic cuts, federal agencies were legally required to begin taking steps to make the reductions. Bennett Criticizes Defaults Secretary of Education William Bennett proposed several major changes last month in the process that the federal government uses to approve agencies that accredit post-secondary institutions. One of the most significant would direct colleges and universities to provide the agencies with evidence of how much their students have learned. Dale Parnell, president of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges and former president of LCC, requested a meeting between accrediting officials and higher-education leaders to discuss what kinds of measures can do the best job of assessing educational progress. He said community colleges were concerned about Bennett's specific suggestion that testing be a suitable measure for student progress. Parnell said that other steps, such as job-placement rates for graduates, could provide a better way to evaluate quality.

But in countries like Canada, Great Britain, Japan and the Soviet Union, "high schools and universities teach it as a basic subject.'' In an effort to give American students a better understanding of geography, Oregon, along with the rest of the nation, will celebrate its first Geography Awareness Week, Nov. 16-20. Searl, and fellow geography instructor Ryan Anderson complain that the public often has misconceptions about geography. What are some of the misconceptions? Anderson says that part of geography is "space, and how we organize ourselves in it.'' Searl says that when most of us think of geography, we think of land, names and places (states, countries, etc.), but that geography is "everything above the ground," which means your house is a part of geography, as are roads, cities, dams and airplanes. These authorities feel that for some reason the study of geography has been widely neglected in this country. The LCC Library will display books on different aspects of physical, cultural and social geography throughout the week. Searl and Anderson will place a bulletin board in the cafeteria in another effort to dispell misconceptions about the field, giving the discipline a broader, clearer definition. !\-'··· ~ :-;:::=,,YL~'P'.--. .

Vote frees public forum by George Alvergue LCC Social Science Instructor "Men at some .time are masters of their fates: the fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves . . (Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, Act 1, Scene 2) The most valued civic right we enjoy as citizens is the right to vote. We fought a revolution to secure it (' 'no taxation without representation") and it represents the permanence of revolution, in the sense that ultimate accountability is secured in our legal system through periodic elections. The right • to elect, re-elect and/or vote out our public officials is the basis for limited government. The ballot replaces the bullet and its permanence is evidenced in the fact that the US has never failed to hold its two year national election every year since 1789. Not a bad record! We should never take this permanence for granted, however, as Jefferson has warned us the "price of liberty is eternal vigilance." The best way to protect it is to use it. The history of the vote in America is, generally, a progression of broadening the scope of eligible voters down to our present time. From early colonial times to the formation of the Constitution, the right to vote is limited to property-owning adult, white males. This limited the franchise to less than half of the adult males, remembering, of course, that slaves and women could not vote and most colonies did not allow non-white citizens the right to vote whether or not they own- ed property. Still, because the colonies were labor-poor and land-rich, the property requirement was less of a hindrance than one would expect. To encourage immigration, the colonies had generous land-acquisition laws. These, and modest property qualifications, gave new immigrants the vote. Ultimately, most white indentured males worked off their indenture and joined the rest of the white male population in the enjoyment of the franchise. Given the belief by the Nation's early leaders that ordinary citizens lacked the knowledge and wisdom to vote, the fight to eliminate restrictions was an uphill battle. To their credit, disenfranchised citizens continued the struggle constantly and relentlessly. Among the first restrictions to fall was religion. Jews and Catholics were not allowed to vote in some colonies before the Revolution. With the successful fight to disestablish religion in the 1780's, these restrictions fell. Property requirements for white males lasted for some 50 years after the Revolution, until the 1840's when the last of the states abandoned the notion that one had to have a property "stake in society" in order to vote. A more egalitarian view was that characterized by the author, James Fenimore Cooper: "The pretense has been that none but the rich have a stake in society. Every man who has wants, feelings, affections and character, has a stake in society.,, The restriction of property ownership died hard and, until the 24th Amendment eliminated the Poll Tax in Federal Elections in 1964 and the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional in state or local elections (1966), black Southerners still had to pay this nominal ''property tax.'' The next two classes of citizens to gain the franchise, women and blacks, had the most difficult struggle. The fight for women's suffrage began as early as the Revolution when John Adams was admonished by his wife, Abigail, " ... not to forget the ladies" in their deliberations. Oddly enough, it was through the promotion of two other reforms of the 1840's, prohibition and abolition of slavery, that women began to press for their ''stake in society.'' While they did not achieve women's suffrage nationally for another 75 years, they did learn to organize and to petition their government for a redress of grievances. These basic first Amendment rights were not denied to them unless they had the temerity to become involved in civil disobedience to press their cause while making more people aware of the denial of that basic right. Starting with the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, the list of heroines is endless but is headed by two stalwart champions, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Beginning with the Wyoming Territory in 1871, women acquired the vote in state after state until by 1918, they could vote in 15 states and by the end of 1919, in 25 states. The Anthony Amendment to nationalize women's right to vote was proposed by Congress in 1919 and, in 1920, became the law with ratification of the 19th Amendment. The fight for black suffrage began after the Civil War with the passage of the 14th Amendment which provided sanctions of reduced representation for Southern states which prevented blacks from voting. The 15th Amendment, which prohibited discrimination in voting on the basis of race, color or previous condition of servitude, was passed to "nationalize" black suffrage.

People across the United States are being asked to fast from sundown Wednesday, Nov. 18, to sundown Thursday, Nov. 19, and then donate the money they save on meals to Oxfam. An international, non-governmental agency, Oxfam funds grassroots developmental programs to alleviate hunger through donations and pledges. LCC, in conjunction with the U of 0, Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG), and other community organizations is participating in the fourteenth annual fast for a day, and will hold a break-fast dinner on Thursday evening at the Wesley Center. Joel Ario, the coordinator for the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and the Executive Director of OSPIRG, will be the guest speaker at the dinner. The dinner will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 19. A $5 donation for Oxfam will be collected at the door. The Wesley Center is located at 1236 Kincaid St. ASLCC senators Mike Stewart and Curtis Grant (who also serves as the OSPIRG coordinator) have also arranged a special "before the fast" meal for Wednesday, Nov. 18. LCC's Food Services will provide a noon-meal of broth and juices in the cafeteria for a nominal fee. Anyone wishing to participate should inquire through the lunch line for the ''fast'' meal. Anyone wishing to donate money or pledge to fast may register at a table in the LCC cafeteria on Nov. 16 through Nov. 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. U of O will also have a registration table set up in the Erb Memorial Union and OSPIRG will take phone pledges at 686-4377. -~~~~~#n:~1~~· ;r~e purcha$eq /2:t~J{;j~~Jl:P'ft!kitf,tâ—Št~h}& :hns?le,.· con$ole will be with 1 2.ts.~,#~}of';.t~~ $ll;OOO .. tfle cle~rtuient cr@eived from •a ~tate yocalional ~!CJf~ijt10!i!Jl8t!ii;:'.

Watching the dedication and intensity they played with reaffirmed my belief in sports' more noble aspects. I learned that as far as 'heart' is concerned, LCC athletics are definately big-time. Then there was track season. I remember fearing it. I'd become very comfortable with my sources in the basketball program, and was not really sure I wanted to start all over again. Lyndell Wilken erased all uneasiness I had. Thanks for knowing exactly what I· would need, and providing it before I even knew I needed it. Harland Yriarte, thanks for showing me that it is not only the athletes that become intense. No one gives quotes the way you did. Your intensity raises the intensity of everyone around you. Assistant track coaches, Curtis Smith and Kevin Myers, thanks for answering the silly questions I asked, and for not laughing. Special thanks to Lance Deal, another assistant track coach. You did laugh at my questions when they were silly. By not taking everything terribly seriously, I was able to keep perspective and see the fun side of sports. The afternoon that we discussed 'off the record' subjects let me know that you really do take some things very seriously. Thanks Lance, for trusting me, and making me feel like a real sportswriter. Thanks have to go to the entire track team, both the men and women. A feature on one of you became my first commercial sale. Any of you could have been my subject. Your attitudes and talent made covering track very interesting and a lot of fun. At least half my byline should go to the people within the Athletic Department. Bob Foster, Judy Ward, and all the people that hustled to bring me results and statistics. Your support and constant smiles made the Athletic Department a second home. For Pete Peterson, the TORCH Journalism Advisor, your advice has helped. It never failed me. Your faith in me helped me gain faith in myself, even when times get tough. Everyone else, many of you are still helping make the memories that I'll be thankful for years from now. That I didn't mention you is less poor memory than restricted space. I can only hope that each of you have great reasons for Thanksgiving. Spikers seek to salvage season by J.V. Bolkan stalled confidence in the women," says coach Ed Jacobson. The final three games are against Umpqua, Chemeketa, and Southwestern Oregon (SWOCC). All games are away. Jacobson feels that his squad should beat Umpqua, but will be definate underdogs against both Chemeketa and SWOCC. "If we can win two of the three final games, that would put a good ending on the season," he claims. The Titan season ends Saturday, Nov. 14. A final home match against Northwest Christian College has been canceled. TORCH Sports Editor Enjoying a late season renaissance, the LCC women's volleyball team defeated Clackamas in Oregon City on Wednesday, Nov. 4. "We started playing as a team, not as a group of individuals,'' explains Titan hitter Candy W eischedel. After winning the first game 15-4, the Titans went down to defeat 16-18 and 12-15 in the next two. The Titans roared back, taking the fourth game 15-2 and closed out the match by winning the final game, 15-12. "We simplified the offense, and that has in- Runners ready for championships by J. V. Bolkan TORCH Sports Editor The tradition-laden LCC cross country teams travel to Spokane on Saturday, Nov. 14, for the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) Championship meet. First year mentor Kevin Myers says the men's team is a definite long-shot for a trophy. Inc:lividual goals, and the excitement of a Championship meet, are the main reasons for his teams attendance, says Myers. Matt Turnow, the top runner for the Titans this year, feels his team has a shot at a trophy. ''Everyone made lots of improvement during the (District IV) meet. Things look real good," he says. Mike Bordenkircher will join Turnow as the Titan's only returnees to the NW AACC Championships. Bordenkircher, who finished in 12th place in the district race, has been bothered by shin splints. He hopes to be healthy for the final meet. A young group of inexperienced runners round out the squad. Steve Hawley (8th) made an exceptional effort at the district meet, nearly kicking past Turnow at the end. Other runners are Mike McGraw (17th), Gary Carpenter (18th), and Rick Virgin (25th). The women harriers will be attempting to capture their third straight NW AACC championship for District IV Coach of the Year Lyndell Wilken. The District IV Champion Titans will be tested by Highline, and host school Spokane, says Wilken. Leading the Titans will be first-year runner Lisa Moe, who finished 3rd in the district meet. Joining Moe will be veteran runners, Nicole Lightcap (4th), and Shelli Gray (6th). Taunya Pieratt (5th), Laura Loren (7th), Jennifer Huff (10th), Merrie Gesner (12th), and Tiese Roberson (20th) fill out a strong and consistent Lane squad. CAMPUS MINISTRY We're here for you.

Congress asked the question: how can we insist that the South refrain from doing what the North was already doing? The 15th Amendment appeared to answer that question, that is, at least for the present. In the 1890's, Southern states discovered legal devices to circumvent the intent of the 14th and 15th Amendments to provide social justice to blacks. In effect, they didn't prevent blacks from voting, if they could satisfy other legal requirements: • The Poll Tax. As previously stated, they •could vote if they could pay this nominal fee. By the 1960's, these requirements were eliminated or found to be unconstitutional. • The Literacy Test. They could vote if they could pass a simple test in American History or Government. This requirement was .grossly abused as poor whites had only to satisfy a simple ''understanding'' of government or history. Blacks, on the other hand, were required to know minutiae from the Constitution. Congress finally eliminated this requirement with enforcement of the 11: STUDENT SPECIAL $1.89 Single • Fries 11 .am - 1 pm BEST BURGERS IN THE BUSINESS • ID may be required • Not valid with any other offer Page 6 Nov. 18 Danny O'Keefe The W.O.W.

Nov. 24 November 13, 1987 The TORCH Voting Rights Acts of 1965 and 1970 which were held to be constitutional by the Supreme Court. • Grandfather Clause. You could vote only if your grandfather had voted. Since slavery was eliminated only between 1863 and 1865, it would have been well into the 20th century before many of the South's black citizens could vote. • White Primary. As the Democratic Party became the dominant party of the South, the Democratic primary election became the ''real election." Texas became the first of many southern states to limit the primary vote to white voters (1923). By 1944, the Supreme Court ruled any restrictions of the voting right based on race as unconstitutional. With legal restrictions eliminated, white Southerners resorted to other methods ranging from individual intimidation to group violence (KKK). It became obvious that the Federal Government needed to implement more direct enforcement of laws to protect black voters who attempted to register and/ or vote. The Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1960 and 1964 were efforts in the right direction but it took the process that makes that deciVoting Rights Acts of 1965 to sion! put some real enforcement 'clout' into the law.

Again, I start slow. Strength and stamina are the key. Too much weight will result in unnecessary pressure on the knee joints and ligaments. Three simple exercises, done properly, will give you all the power you'll need. I don't fully extend my legs to a locked knee position. Extending the knees in training will increase your chance of knee injuries. • HALF-SQUATS: I start at a weight which will allow me to complete 20 to 30 repetitions. Holding the weights in front of my body -- making sure I look at the ceiling to prevent leaning too far and causing back injuries -- I slowly lower my body, bending at the knees. Increase the weight for sets two and three, and do as many reps as you can. You should feel a (it hurts good) burn, but avoid this burn during your first week of training. • SEATED LEG EXTENSIONS: Using ankle weights, I sit in a chair -- or at a Nautilus machine -- and slowly raise my legs to extend in front of me. Taking care not to lock the knees, I do four sets of these in the same increments as the half-squats. • LYING HAMSTRING CURLS: Hamstrings must be worked to balance the strength your thighs will be gaining. Lying on my stomach with my legs extended, again using ankle weights or the Nautilus, I slowly raise my feet so that my heels touch my buttocks. Again, I do four sets of these in the same increments as the half-squats. When working out keep your mind on your goal (skiing) and you'll have better results on the slopes.

Barber for the TORCH Whether using a paint brush, a potter's wheel, or a crayon, the artist expresses a new creative thought using his or her imagination as a tool. The computer, with its new graphic capabilities, offers a relatively unexplored realm of creativity for artists. "Computers are a new tool for artists,'' says Ken O'Connell, head of the Fine Arts Department at the U of 0. "New and significant things are being done around the country." O'Connell, who holds a Masters of Fine Arts degree from the U of 0, spoke at LCC on Tuesday, Nov. 3 about his works involving hand and computer animation. Modern computers offer artists like O'Connell greater resolution and color choices, which were extremely limited in the past. Complicated textures with shading and detail are now possible. Hair, clouds and dust particles are still difficult to create but will be overcome in the future. O'Connell showed three films during the LCC engagement, demonstrating the various types of animation he has worked with. The first film "Kids III," is a collage of childrens' drawings combined with his own, which shows how each child views himself as a human being. The second film shown was an unfinished piece called "Oregon Country," geared to O'Connell's films have been shown in Japan, Yugoslavia, Seattle, San Francisco, and New York. He has won several awards, including Top Animated film at the U.S. Film Festival in Dallas, TX and the Ann Arbor Film Festival. His work is included in the "Computers in the Creative Process'' collection showing at the U of O Art Gallery throughout the month of November. Also shown were several slides of O'Connell's pastel and charcoal drawings that were on display at LCC from Oct. 26 through Oct. 13 in the Art Department Gallery. Gourmet food at prices you can swallow by Roxanne Smith for The TORCH Hungry for some Calzon Maison fashioned from freshly made pasta, followed by a dessert of homemade spumoni ice cream? The Renaissance Room, located on the first floor of fhe Center Building near the north elevator, offers this and many more delicacies to flatter the palate for the standard price of $4. According to Renaissance Room Coordinator Willie Keo ho la, faculty, students and the public can enjoy a delicious meal Monday through Thursday, 11 :30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The restaurant, run by the Culinary Arts Program, provides a unique experience for students by developing their skills at menu planning, cooking techniques and customer service. Although the restaurant has a standard menu, it also offers daily specials, such as Shrimp 'n Seafood Creole, Chicken Teriyaki, Grilled Lamb Kebabs, Chimichangas, and many others. With each meal the waiter serves a soup or salad, homemade bread, and dessert. "Everything served from The TORCH the restaurant is made from scratch, including the mayonnaise,'' comments Keo ho la. "This is a break-even operation," he adds. "The price is determined by adding 50 percent over the initial cost of the food, which covers expenses such as menu printing, cocktail napkins, disposable items, and fresh flowers.'' The LCC Culinary Arts Program, in conjuntion with the Renaissance Room differs from other culinary schools. "Students leave here after two years with an associate of applied science degree,'' Keohola says. ''They have received not only food preparation skills, Editor Needed.
