January 8, 1988 Vol.23 No.11 Lane Community College 11 The written word passeth on the torch of wisdom" It's s by Pat Bryan TORCH Sports Editor When snow covered the LCC campus during finals week last term, who chose to close the doors? The responsi b ility for deciding whether or not to cancel classes falls to the graveyard shift security officer. To determine if snow and ice conditions warrant school closure for the coming day the officer quickly checks all campus areas to determine the overall snow and ice conditions; he contacts the State Police for road conditions in the district; and he contacts the U.S. Weather Bureau to obtain the weather forecast for the next 24 hours. He then reports the conditions to the Manager of Security and Auxiliary Services Paul Chase no later than 5 a.m. The director of institutional advancement then will notify local radio stations that LCC is going to cancel classes for the day. The Dec. 16 snow that blanketed LCC resulted in the loss of a day during finals week. Crist named editor Abernathy moved to Hult by Robert Ward photo by Russ Sherrell TORCH Associate Editor Julie Crist was appointed TORCH editor for the remainder of the school year by the Media Commission on Dec. 7. Crist replaces Diane Davis, who resigned for personal reasons. Crist began her duties by appointing two other new staff members. David Monje, a second-year mass communication major, is the new enter tainment editor, and Pat Bryan will serve as the sports editor. Bryan is a first year student majoring in journalism. Crist is looking forward to the challenge. ''The staff (of the TORCH) is exceptional. I'm relying on their experience to maintain the high level of quality that is characteristic of the TORCH." Having spent Fall Term as the entertainment editor of the paper, Crist is not stepping into the job uninitiated. She applied for the editor position because "I wanted to learn how to organize and manage.'' Although she doesn't plan • any major changes, Crist does have her own ideas for the paper. '' I think the general policy will be more aggressive, in story subjects and the reporting.'' Crist enrolled at Lane in the Fall of 1986, having spent a year in Alaska as a police officer. She currently serves in the Coast Guard reserves. Now that she is editor, Crist says, "I'm excited about the possibilities. We're lucky to have a student-run paper." by Julie Crist TORCH Editor LCC's Jan. 15 Martin Luther King Jr. birthday celebration has been moved from the LCC campus to the Hult Center's 2500 seat Silva Concert Hall. Mike Stewart, ASLCC Cultural Director, says that after he and Rico Perez, fall term's cultural director, made the arrangements for the event, they were approached by Neill Arden Roan, a Hult Center representative. "He advocated that we should turn the celebration over to the City of Eugene. It would basically become Eugene's show.'' Perez and Stewart met with J arnes Aday, Eugene's cultural director and a Hult Center activities director. Aday was ''very excited'' about the agenda, and "was basically authorized to do anything to make it a success," adds Stewart. The agreement allowed LCC to retain sponsorship of the show. "By cooperating with the city, we were actually able to save a lot of money," says Stewart. ''The city has taken up a lot of the costs of the reception over and above the choir and (Dr. Ralph Abernathy, the key note speaker)." Free tickets for the event are available at the LCC Student Resource Center and the student government offices. The event will begin at 8 p.m., and the agenda follows: • Music by the Inspirational Sounds Gospel Choir. • Address by Dr. Jacquelyn Belcher, LCC Vice President for Instruction and Master of Ceremonies. • Poetry selections by U of O English Professor Edwin Coleman. • Another musical selection. • The Martin Luther King Award presentation. • Featured speaker, Dr. Ralph Abernathy. Dr. Abernathy and Rev. King were co-founders of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957. He was a close friend of Rev. King's, and was at his side when he was slain on April 4, 1968. A reception featuring a giant birthday cake will be held in the Hult Center lobby following the event. ASLCC is also sponsoring a Martin Luther King Day Essay and Speech Contest. F:irst and second prizes of $50 and $25 will be awarded for the best entries in each category.

Friday Forum will present the winning speeches on Jan. 15 in the cafeteria along with the film "Eyes on the Prize," beginning at 8 a.m. FORUMS l!t LETTERS ( ) Reading, writing, and racism kill high schOol commentary by Robert Ward TORCH Associate Editor When Roseburg High School hosted Benson High of Portland in the playoffs last fall, a football wasn't the only object flying through the air. So were some ugly racial epit,hets ! Some people (I hesitate to call them fans. As a matter of fact, I hesitate to call them people) were yelling unkind words at black players on Benson's team. More than "Hey, you bums!" from the other two high schools were bussed to Serramonte. Serramonte opened its doors in September of 1969. It had a lot of potential. Black, brown, Asian, and white students thrust into a societal stew. Instead of a breeding ground of brotherhood, however, the school mirrored society and segregated like oil and water. Just because we were in the same container • didn't mean we had to mix. Simply walking down the hall became a test of one's bravery. It was a matter of who would get out of whose way.

This letter is in answer to the news story on page one of the Nov. 20 TORCH, "Semester Options Open,'' by Robert Ward. The article in The TORCH makes me wonder whether the State Board of Higher Education made the right decision in allowing twoyear schools to decide which option to use. Four options seem to be ~vailable: status quo, a comtraditional bination, semesters, or an early semester. The administration of Lane Commmunity College should make a decision soon. A decision would make a smooth transition possible; it would allow students and faculty members a chance to adjust to the option chosen. However, according to the article in The TORCH, this isn't going to be done. Vice President for Administrative Services Richard Hillier admits there will be a "big time and money impact in conv.erting. It will be tough fiscally.'' The TORCH article also states, "Lane has not yet researched the cost of converting to a semester system. That will be done after the college decides which option it chooses." Worrying about the cost after? That should be the college's number one worry, then a responsibility to the students, faculty members, and the public. Worrying about the cost after is irresponsible and illogical, but see Letters, page 7 Use levy money for disabled access by Bob Wolfe LCC Student Last term, LCC scored some important publicity points. Thanks to a concerted effort by the ASLCC, all three local TV stations carried stories about student efforts to correct problems with access for disabled students at LCC. These stories included shots of LCC President Richard Turner acknowledging these problems and pledging to work for change. Well, it's now time for LCC to put its money where its mouth is. It's time to identify the changes and additions needed (new and covered ramps, restroom modifications, installation of automatic doors, removal of the turnstiles in the cafeteria), identify funding sources, request bids, and award contracts. Money, a chronic problem in recent years, should not be a barrier. Page 2 January 8, 1988 The college should simply use money from the recently approved multi-million dollar serial levy. It was approved by the voters to pay for "deferred maintenance" items. Projects creating and improving access certainly fit that definition, and they have been deferred long enough. Indeed, many unworthy projects are being paid for with that money. Plans have been laid for new carpet in the Center Building, and work was recently completed on the facade of the Downtown Center. While certainly pretty, these projects do nothing to directly benefit the students -- which is, after all, the purpose of this institution, isn't it? Acting decisively on this issue will benefit the administration in a couple of important ways. First, it will give LCC a badly needed public image boost. Disabled access issues enjoy strong pu~lic and media support in The TORCH this area, as demonstrated by interest in the access questions at the UO, and the recent victory over elevator installation at the 5th Street Public Market. Next, it may help restore some credibility to adminstrative decision making, most recently damaged by the self-support classes ax, and poor faith bargaining on the faculty work-load issue. Right after the successful press conference where President Turner took his wheelchair ride, one disabled student accused me of putting on a "show," and was skeptical of any real results. I sure hope we can prove him wrong. (Editor's Note: Bob Wolfe is the farmer ASLCC Communication Director, and was involved with the student government's publicity efforts for the Disabled Student Awareness Month.)

News Tracking Overseas CWE deadline nears by Traci Veenendal for the TORCH compiled by Robert Ward TORCH Associate Editor Bennent's Ideal Curriculum Education Secretary William Bennent last month said high schools should consider more stringent requirements for graduation. He said high school graduates should have completed the following studies: four years of English, three years each of social studies, math, and science, two years each of foreign language and physical education, and one year of fine arts. Bennent made his recommendation in a report, titled James Madison High School, which contained his idea for the ideal high school curriculum. He stated that his ideas did not represent federal policy and noted that theDepartment of Education was barred from prescribing what should be taught in American schools. Bennent said he named his high school curriculum after the nation's fourth president because Madison was a strong proponent of the view that democracies can -work well only if their citizens have a solid education. Chancellor Davis Resigns William E. Davis, chancellor of the Oregon State System of Higher Education, announced that he would resign in June at the request of Gov. Neil Goldschmidt. A spokesperson for the governor said he thought that Davis had been damaged by a series of political fights in the last year, but added that Goldschmidt thought that Davis had been a good chancellor. The spokesperson also said that Goldschmidt thought Davis had a lot of battle scars and that it would be better for someone with fresh ideas with no baggage to carry around. In the past year, Davis has been criticized for for a number of decisions, such as the forced retirement of University of Oregon President Paul Olum, and a plan to grant tuition waivers to some student athletes. Davis, who has been chancellor for six years, said he is not bitter about the decision. "The governor wants to pick his own team and I respect his judgement." The State Board of Higher Education, not the governor, has the authority to hire and fire chancellors, but Davis said he resigned after talking to Goldschmidt because ''whoever does the job has to have the complete backing of the governor.'' King's Estate Sues For Papers The estate of Martin Luther King Jr. has sued Boston University to reclaim some 83,000 documents the civil rights leader gave the university in 1964. The lawsuit, filed in Suffolk Superior Court in Massachusetts, is the first legal action in a long-running dispute between the university and the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta, the two major holders of King's papers. King received a doctorate in system theology from Boston University in 1955. The university's Mugar Memorial Library houses most of King's papers that date from 1955 to 1964. Feb. 1. is the last date to apply for Cooperative Work Experience (CWE) abroad. Six to ten LCC students go to work in foreign countries through CWE every year, in addition to the thousands who earn credit for work in local jobs. Some countries open to the CWE experience are Ecuador, England, Turkey, Germany, Thailand, and Japan. The work positions range from business in Germany to • social service in Thailand. According to International CWE Coordinator Peggy Martson, work sites are available for most every college major, although prerequisites vary for each discipline. In general, a student must first complete classes relating to his or her line of work. For example, an English major would need to have completed Writing 121 and 122 before being allowed to be involved, for credit, in a writing project for a private business. The CWE office requires that the student first interview with Marston, then complete an application form, and then await a decision by a screening committee. Once approved, the student must raise $1,200 to $2,000 to cover the entire cost of the trip, including air fare. Although most jobs in most countries provide room and board, the employer may or may not pay wages to the student worker. Another requirement is a full-term of a preparation seminar which Marston teaches. Marston explains that doing this "helps draw a cor- relation between the field work the student is doing and the course work that has been done on campus.'' A student may also receive a preparation class upon arrival in the country of his/her work. Two of the most common problems faced by international CWE students are adjusting to a different work ethic and adjusting to a different culture. In Germany, says Marston, it is common to work a 12-hour day, and in many positions "You live with your job." In Asia, for example, because of the poor economy, a student might live in the shelter in which he or she is working. The job then becomes a 24-hour undertaking. Although many students must make adjustments, most find CWE a rewarding experience and many continue to travel and go into study programs abroad after their CWE assignment, says Marston. graphic by Kerry Wade Pres.

" I think it's important for a person to feel good about their culture, and about themselves." Guerra, president of La Raza, the Chicano Latino Student Union at LCC, spoke to students in Pete Peterson's Newswriting class. Guerra was invited by Peterson to clarify and expand on issues he had raised in a letter to the editor in the October 30 TORCH . Guerra's letter, in which he complained of racial discrimination he had experienced at LCC, sparked a series of responses from TORCH readers, both critical and supportive of his comments. Guerra, 29, is a fifth-generation Texan of Mexican ancestry, who spent most of his life in Woodburn, Ore. He was accompanied by Ricardo Olalde, 31, a past president of La Raza, and a native-born Mexican. In his talk, Guerra told of his anger and frustration overhearing crude comments in the locker room referring to a particular woman as a Mexican whore , and recalled another incident where a classmate with a Spanish surname reacted with disgust when asked if she were Mexican. '' Individually, these things might seem trivial,'' says Guerra, '' but things like this have been hippentni to me all of my life. When my race is insulted I take it personally." As further evidence of the more subtle forms of racism, Guerra cited the lack of information on Chicano history in the public schools, including LCC. " I didn't know anything about my culture until I started reading on my own," he says. As president of La Raza, Guerra says he feels obligated to point out racial prejudice whenever he sees it, however he believes that the most effective way to combat it is by creating positive associations with the Mexican and Chicano cultures, and for members of those cultures to develop themselves as fully as possible. In this light, Guerra has organized a group ·of young Chicano artists in Woodburn, " .. .in order to develop their talent and give them something to be proud of individually," he says. An artist himself, Guerra intends to continue his studies in art at the U of O next year. Sell-expression expensive for college by James W. Barber for the TORCH It costs LCC an estimated $7,000 a year in both labor and materials -- on items such as paint and chemicals -- to keep college restroom walls clean of graffiti and vandalism. According to David Wienecke, the assistant director of Campus Services, "We are currently taking measures as we have in the past to keep these areas clean.'' He estimates college maintenance personnel spend 16 to 20 hours each week re-painting, scraping, or removing markings from toilet stall walls and doors. On occasion the college has gone so far as to put sheets of butcher paper in some of the restrooms as substitute writing areas in order to cut down the by Julie Crist TORCH Editor expense of cleaning wall surfaces, he says. The campus is currently spending $400 each term in supplies to clean the walls. Although that figure is high, it's been higher. "We have less destructive types of people to- day than we once did,'' says Wienecke. And he speculates that ''the amount of graffiti at LCC is mild compared to that of the U of O." Graffiti messages range from racial and ethnic remarks to pictures and statements about sex and sexual organs. According to Issac Johnson, the housekeeping manager, • photo by Michael Saker ''The women's restrooms are worse than the men's sexual for restrooms frankness." The most heavily vandalized walls on campus are the first and second floors of the Center Building, the second floor of the Apprenticeship Building, and the library restrooms.

( ) SPORTS Titans take two at Lane Invitational Women hoopsters eye playoffs by Pat Bryan by Patrick Bryan TORCH Sports Editor Led by tournament MVP Don Brent, LCC men's basketball squad won both of its games in the 1987 edition of the Lane Invitational. Played during the winter break, the invitational was the last chance for the Titans to prepare for what Head Coach Dale Bates calls ''the real season,'' also known as league play. After making the playoffs last season for the first time in three years, the LCC women's basketball team is looking forward to earning a repeat performance. Head Coach Dave Loos, in his third season with the Titans, expects a "real dogfight'' for the league championship. Chemeketa CC won the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges title last year and Loos looks for them to be tough again, along with Umpqua CC. Two teams each from the Northern and Southern Regions of the NW AACC will advance to the tourney. TORCH Sports Editor On opening night Lane defeated Shoreline CC, 87-81, and then on the second night beat the Northwest Christian College Crusaders 76-64. After Linn-Benton had defeated NCC in the first contest, 61-60, the Shoreline Samurai, who hail from Seattle, not Osaka, came out with a full court press that had the Titans behind early 10-0. Despite the lopsided score, Coach Bates claims "I wasn't that worried. All we had to do was settle down and we would be all right.'' The Titans finally did calm down and when Tony Broadous nailed a short jumper midway through the first half, the game was tied at 17. For the remainder of the first half the two teams traded turnovers and at the break Lane led by five, 44-39. Near the start of the second half, a forward for Shoreline was charged with a technical foul and immediately pulled by Shoreline Coach Doug Porter. Incensed, Porter screamed ''Shut up" three times at his player in the suddenly quiet gymnasium. After the incident the momentum seemed to swing over to Lane. The Samurai could not contain Brent, who had 30 points, (including 11 of 16 from the field), six rebounds, and three assists -- which amounts to an average day for the forward who plays guard. The Titans' other All-Tournament selection, Harrison Branch, contributed 11 points and 11 boards to the winning effort. At one point late in the game the Titans led by as many as 16 points and it looked like they would win easily. But turnovers, combined with a couple of three-point goals by the Samurai, drew Shoreline to within five points with less than a minute to play. Lane managed to hold on for an 87-81 victory. The second night of the Tournament Linn-Benton defeated Shoreline and Lane played crosstown rival NCC. The Titans, who shot a red hot .596 from the field in the game against Shoreline, set a school record against the Crusaders, shooting .789 on 30 of 38 from the field. They led by as much as eight points in the first half and seemed firmly in control, • leading 36-31 at the break. The second half was more of the same with Brent once again leading the way. He finished with 26 points, hitting on 10 of 12 Harold Michaud, a freshman from shots from the field. Thurston High, contributed 14 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Titans into the "real season " on a high note. Lane tourney All Stars Don Brent MVP LCC-So. Springfield Harrison Branch LCC-Fr. North Eugene John Gilles NCC-Sr. Sheldon Bruce Doscher LBCC-Fr. Elmira Norman Calhoun Shoreline CC-Fr. Montebello The Titans are expecting Sheryl Jones, a second team all-league selection from last year and the lone sophomore on the team, to pick up where she left off last year, when she was the team's leading scorer and rebounder. Also important in the Titan's plans is Terri Gortler, a 5'9" post player, who just became eligible and is "just what we needed,'' according to Loos. "She's real tough inside,'' says Loos, and will provide some much needed rebounding for the Titans. The women ended their preseason with a 6-7 record, and if the team wants to be in the race for a playoff spot, Loos says that "our defense needs to pick up." He is pleased with his squad's offense, "it's getting better," and the Titan_'s are "shooting the ball well."

Eugene's citizens clearly voted against research and production of nuclear weaponry components and delivery systems in our city, and clearly for an elected (not a City Council-appointed) NFZ Board. But the City Council, the Economic Development pushers, and the Register-Guard were threatened by such progressive democracy in • action. The result: Rob Bennett's version, a mockery of the spirit and intent of the ordinance passed by the voters in a fair election. On Monday (Jan. 11) the Eugene City Council can honor that spirit and intent (and take a small step to restore public confidence in democracy for both young and not-so-young) by voting for the "minimally revised version" of the NFZ ordinance. Write them. Call them. Demand that they do so . Vandals tear down Nuclear Free Zone signs under cover of darkness. Don't allow Eugene's "leaders" to do so officially in the light of a new day.
