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,

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.''

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.

'Neglected' study highlight
of Geography Week
by Norman Gravem

for The TORCH

"Most American institutes of higher learning don't even teach
geography," says LCC Instructor Joe Searl. 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.

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. Northern states which

In an attempt to alleviate world hunger, Oxfam America will hold its annual "Fast for A
World Harvest" on Thursday, Nov. 19.
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

SPORTS

Thanksfor
the support

by J.V. Bolkan

TORCH Sports Editor

I'm a little early for Thanksgiving, but in sports, getting
a jump is half the battle.
There are many things for me to be thankful for; many
people have contributed to making the past year really
.
special.
Val Brown, last year's Sports Editor, thanks for making
it so easy to be a part of the TORCH. To the rest of last
year's staff, thanks for making the TORCH so fun to
belong to.
Some of the best images from the last year are about the
women's basketball team. Dave Loos, women's basketball
coach, thanks for pretending not to notice my nervousness. You were my first interview ever.
For letting me hang around and ask sometimes silly
questions, thanks Camee and Liz. You made me feel comfortable, making the job easier.

'The
Athletic
Supporter'
The '86-87 women's basketball team. More than
anything else last year, the images of that team stand out.
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.

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.

prejudice towards blacks

them from voting. 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

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

calves, neck and torso.
• WEIGHTS: Now that I've stretched, my muscles are warmed up and ready to lift weights. 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. And remember, skiing's
FUN!

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,
