The state reimburses LCC through the number of FTE the college generates, up to a certain number specified by the legislature. Since the college has not reached the specified number of FTE the past few years, funding from the state has declined during that period. However, current figures show LCC is up 77 FTE from last year. Belcher addressed the status of Self Support classes. The courses, introduced last summer, are not supported by general fund money. They are contingent upon a required amount of students enrolling in the class, hence "self support.'' Some members of the cam- pus community think the classes are discriminatory because a student taking a Self Support class must pay $22 a credit hour, even if they are already enrolled full-time. However, Belcher said the alternatives are the U of O or no classes at all. "If we had not offered Self Support classes during summer, fall, and winter terms, we would not be as close to our (reimbursible) FTE as we would under the general fund,'' said Belcher. '' Right now Self Support classes are serving us well." All-Faculty conferences are held periodically throughout the year to allow the faculty to address concerns, questions, and rumors about the status of LCC.

The same measurement may be used in the scholarship situation." commentary by Robert Ward TORCH Associate Editor 1986-87 ASLCC President Last week, LCC Vice President for Student Services Jack Carter proposed to increase the number of scholarships given by the college by reducing the dollar amount of each award. The idea is inappropriate at best. Jc HOLARS\-i\P GE PlE- ~ The college currently offers 36 full-tuition scholarships to LCC students, meaning the college absorbs the $242 fulltime credit fee for 36 students. The total comes to $26,136. cc L i The Vice President's proposal would increase the number of scholarships to 87 without adding any money to the scholarship fund. Under the new recommendation, these scholarships would be worth $100 a term. Each year LCC presents one scholarship to a graduating senior from each of the 23 area high schools, chosen by the faculties of each institution. The college presents seven scholarships to graduates of LCC's own High School Completion (RSC) program, and six to the members of the ASLCC cabinet. The beneficiaries of Carter's proposal would be Athletics, which would get 36 scholarships, and Performing Arts, which would get 21. The staffs from these two ··· ~ INIJ- .. a~ , ....·.. • AJ. /~ R<JGuE ---,..:....---'-f1§ ~ ~ t <·· (b~ 1/J..al~ departments, acknowledging they currently receive none at all, contend that talented students are "recruited away" from LCC because of the lack of scholarships. This is an unfortunate situation, but . . . . The proposal of $100 a term (or $300 a year) scholarships hardly amounts to a "scholarship" award. It currently costs $242 a term to attend LCC.

With stunning force this note read by Dr. Ralph Abernathy at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Jan. 15 drove home the repulsive fact that racism and bigotry are alive and well in the United States. Dr. Abernathy did manage to throw in a note of subtle irony by noting that the word "daishiki" (a brightly colored pull-over robe) was misspelled and that it is a little difficult for someone to go "back" to a place where he or she has never been. I feel deeply honored to have met with and shaken the hand of Dr. Abernathy, a colleague of Dr. King. Abernathy is a noble example to us all of the se1fless worker dedicated to standing up for what he believes in, dedicated to making his life's work that of giving everyone in today's society a fair shake, not just one particular economic or ethnic group. One thing I really enjoyed about Dr. Abernathy's speech was his refusal to restrict the civil rights issue to purely black and white terms. He made us realize that civil rights (or the lack thereof) affect all nationalities, and that poverty and homelessness are powerful equalizers that transcend any racial_ barriers.

How will this look to the high schools who realize LCC isn't going to give a full tuition scholarship anymore? Will the college still attract the quality students from the high schools, or will they look elsewhere? The ASLCC is able to attract committed and dedicated students because a full scholarship rewards them for otherwise uncompensated Com symbolizes sad story Page 2 /1 / ~ /. ~ 7~ ··•. The TORCH He told a story of how he and his family were looking at woodstoves during Christmas. A salesman began explaining the attributes of a certain stove and was saying how corn was relatively inexpensive and easy to acquire. "Corn?" Dr. Abernathy interrupted. "People are burning corn?" "Well yes," explained the salesman. "The United States has a surplus of corn, and since corn burns rather efficiently, people are using it to heat their homes." "Why," Dr. Abernathy asked those of us gathered at the Hult Center, "are people burning corn when there are 20,000 homeless people in Atlanta, Georgia alone?'' No one had an answer. All they could do was cheer. I would like to think I share Martin Luther King's dream with many others. I would like to see an end to poverty and hunger. I would like to see an end to fighting and war and nuclear weapons stockpiling. I would like to see an end to white supremacist and neo-nazi groups. And yet, I must realize that we live in an imperfect world, and balance my ideals with the harsher realities of life. I must realize that people are not going to change overnight. People are not going to forget 2,000 years of holy wars or forget that their ancestors were sold down the river to the highest bidder. I can only hope that when I leave this imperfect world, I will have done my best to follow my Boy Scout training and have left my campsite cleaner than when I found it. hours of work. With the task of representing students in all facets of the college and a $100,000 budget to manage, it takes special individuals to contend with the dual role of student and representative. This proposal will not benefit anyone. More is not necessarily better. If the college's goal is to give as many scholarships as possible, why not lower the amount to $50 and grant 174 scholarships? Honor roll criteria changed last year at LCC requiring a Say 'Hell Yes' To the editor: Recently indicted and quite probably soon-to-be-recalled Arizona Governor Evan Mecham, in a June, 1987, speech to the states' National Guard Association, said that the United States may have become "a little too much of a democracy.'' Eugene Mayor Brian Obie, in his annu·a1 "state of the city" address on Jan. 14, 1988, expressed similar undemocratic attitudes by urging voters to say " 'No!' Say 'Hell, no!'

Doubling the number of scholarships with the same amount of money presents a watereddown version of what a scholarship represents. $100 is simply not enough money to make a difference in a student's decision to attend LCC. Perhaps the most disturbing part of the request was its immediacy. The Student Activities office received the proposal just six days before it was to appear on the LCC Board of Education agenda. This is hardly enough time to · let the ASLCC review the policy and offer input. It has since been tabled until next month. While I see the need for additional scholarships, subdividing them only lessens their worth. Other options should be discussed fully before adopting any change.

News Tracking. compiled by Robert Ward by Denise Abrams TORCH Staff Writer TORCH Associate Editor Community Colleges Misunderstood State Community College Commissioner Michael Holland said in a news release last week that community colleges have been misunderstood as they consider whether to switch from a quarter calendar to a semester calendar in 1990. He said a decision on conversion to the new calendar involves a complex set of factors for community colleges which must be weighed and evaluated before decisions are made. Community colleges serve nearly four times as many students as state system schools, and most don't transfer to four-year colleges, says Holland. While a semester calendar may hold identifiable benefits for traditional, full-time students, it doesn't necessarily present the same benefits for the huge population of part-time students. Another factor is cost, Holland said. Many community colleges have collective bargaining agreements that require separate payment to faculty for work related to "substantial" curricular revision. A conversion effort will require hundreds of hours of separately compensated curricular work for these thinly capitalized budgets. But the State System of Higher Education does not have to confront these costs, he says. Holland says community colleges are flexible institutions and could accomodate students' needs through innovation within a semester system format. But the real question, he says, is whether such accomodation is the best use of very limited discretionary dollars. Congress Reneges on Education For most of last year, it appeared that Congress was going to give higher education a very generous budget. Many lawmakers promised lavish spending on colleges and students because they figured that improvements would help solve one of the nation's biggest problems: its lagging ability to compete in world trade. And with election time right around the corner, most members of Congress were eager to win votes by giving large amounts of federal money to popular education programs. But just before Christmas, Congress passed a budget that does not even provide colleges with as much money as they received last year. Although the fiscal 1988 budget included some increases for programs that aid minority and disadvantaged students, it also causes thousands of others to lose financial assistance during academic 1988-89. College representatives, who say their lobbying campaign was more intense and sophisticated, are frustrated over how fast the situation changed. Some lobbyists claim they were betrayed by members of Congress who ducked promised commitments when it came time to vote. Rep. Augustus Hawkins (D-Ca), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, said if the choice comes to supporting a final budget that cuts the very programs you have supported, then you are just playing politics. He says we can't just be sorry for what happened. The whole procedure has to be attacked. Abernathy, Seniors earn credit through HSC Most people ponder the thought of getting older. What is there to do? How will I keep myself busy or entertained? For some at the Cambell Senior Center, enrolling in LCC's High School Completion Program (HSC) is the answer. LCC's high school education outreach program doesn't leave much time to sit and brood. Dennis Clark, HSC assessor says the seniors who enroll in the classes are not interested in another career or even a four year college degree. "They are looking for selffulfillment in soviething they perhaps always wanted to complete but couldn't because of circumstances," says Clark. He explains that most of the people at the Cambell Senior Center grew up during the depression, and many had to stop their education to support their families. As their families and responsibilities grew, many of the seniors never had the time or the opportunity to finish their high school education. At age 70, Bill F. Chandler is one of the seniors at the center taking the 9 month HSC course. Bill's family moved frequently during his sixth grade year. Bill lost interest and dropped out in high school. He says he never had the time or the interest to finish school, but instead married and started his family. He says raising five sons took a lot of time and money and there were years when he held three jobs at a time to support them. Bill adds that even without a high school diploma he's had a full life. ''Our family was run on a lot of love and a lot of discipline," he says. : He has always loved to read, and planned to someday finish his high school education. But, he says,' 'There always from page, _ _ _ _ __ by Julie Crist TORCH Editor In an unexpected opening for his Martin Luther King Day speech, Rev. Ralph Abernathy began his address by applauding the Eugene City Council for its 50-50 male/female ratio. ''You are on the ball, Eugene, and I want you to stay on the ball, because if Dr. King were here, he would applaud the fact that you have equal male-female representation on your city council." Over 1500 people crowded into the Hult Center's Silva Concert Hall to attend the ASLCC sponsored celebration honoring the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday and to hear Abernathy speak. Abernathy was a personal friend and colleague of King, and held him in his arms as the civil rights leader died on the balcony of the •Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn. on April 4, 1968. ''Amen,'' and ''Yes, Reverend,'' punctuated Abernathy's speech as he reminded the cro\vd that "they killed him, but they didn't kill his dream.'' He added that, though King will never return, the mission is not forgotten, and the journey towards equal rights is shared by all people. Abernathy includes the plight of the poor in his crusade, and tells of his recent visit to the White House at the president's request. After witnessing President Reagan sign a proclamation honoring Dr. King, Rev. Abernathy recalls telling him, "President Reagan, you have been a president for the rich and not the poor.'' A survivor of two strokes, Abernathy fueled the audience with the energy of the equal rights movement by reminding everyone that the battle continues. He concluded the evening with a "phone call" to King, telling him that the struggle continues, and that hope for a better world bears the cause to the final goal of peace. seemed to be an obstacle in the way." However, the time has finally arrived, and Bill is completing his high school education through the LCC HSC program. He plans to begin a college education after he receives his diploma. "I have always loved to read, and when I go to college I plan to study English. I like to write,'' he says. At present Bill is one of the half-dozen senior (65 or older) students in the HSC program. noon. The first two hours of the group meeting are devoted to class instruction and discussion. During the third hour, students are assesed through competency testing given by Dennis Clark, also of the LCC Downtown Center. The students are taught four courses each term. This term they are studying various courses in mathematics, geography, writing and health taught by Michael Simon of the LCC downtown center. The class meets every Thursday morning from nine until seniors pay only $10 plus $5 per credit hour taken. The number of credits needed vary among students depending on extent of high school education and life experience. Life experience, work experience, and craft skills may be applied to the HSC certification. He emphasizes that the students want to receive their dimplomas for personal development and not career advancements. The HSC course regulary costs $25 for registration, but Budget boosters Great Potentials Resource Center (GPRC) is offering a free pamphlet, "Hot Tips on Obtaining Financial Aid," listing private aid resources.

But perhaps the most common justifable fear is that of a dentist's drill. A good practice for avoiding the drill is to visit the dentist at least once a year for a check up. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a private dental visit, there is an option at LCC -- the dental hygene program. Dental Hygene program coordinator Sharon Hagan says the LCC dental students perform professional, preventive dental work. "We don't pull teeth, do fillings, or root canals. A private dentist handles those restorative procedures," she says. LCC Dental Hygene students are trained to clean teeth, x-ray, perform plastic biting for the molar areas, provide information for home care maintenance of the teeth, and remove stains or tartar from the teeth. A new service of the program is denture cleaning and radiography of full or partial dentures. private dental offices looking f9r prospective dental hygenists and assistants.

The Saints seemed firmly in control most of the game, but let Lane back into the contest late in the second half. Don Brent, normally the Titan's best free thro-w shooter, missed two free throws with 17 seconds left which would have given Lane the lead. Lane got the ball back, however, only to see ball-handler Tony Broadous lose the ball out of bounds with 5 seconds to go. A dejected Broadous said Titan duo lead the way after the game he was trying to call a time out but the ball "just bounced off my leg." On Mt. Hood's first possession Rodney Jackson, who is going to have to get used to seeing the phrase '' freshman sensation'' in front of his name, drilled a 3-pointer from NBA land and the Saints were off to the races. The Titans trailed by as much as 16 points before Dusty Auxier hit two 3-pointers and Brent got hot enough to draw LCC to within five, 33-28, at the half. Lane, troubled all night with Mt.Hood's- pressure on the inbounds pass, began the second half much like the first.

Portland, which shot a dismal .424 from the field, applied pressure to the ball early and often in the first half, causing numerous Lane turnovers. The Panthers led at the half, 33-29. But the second half saw Brent and Michaud start to assert themselves and the Titans gradually pulled away from the outmanned Panther squad. Portland tried to pressure Lane and work their way back into the game but the Titans handled their press and repeatedly ended up with an easy two points.

Page 6 January 22, 1988 The TORCH Jul thing that has ever happened in my 46 years of life. Yet, I am so proud and glad you have told your secret. And a secret it has been for 20 of your 25 years! What a special, loving person you are in spite of all that has happened to you. You have become a very strong woman in your ~wn right. Now it is time I remove your burden and become the mother who can say and do things to acknowledge what happened to you, to me, and to many other victims and mothers. Now is the time to say to society, "This is not right, " and "This is happening." For so many years you protected the family and me as the caretaker. It is time I assume this role and allow you to be cared for, nurtured, and protected. What happened was not your fault. It was not my fault. We are not alone. We are good and always have been. You are not alone. The blame belongs to the person who is responsible -- your father, my husband. He is totally responsible for his actions. We were all his victims. He was cunning, manipulative, and powerful. No more, no longer is this true. He is a child molester. You had the strength to disclose. You are an incest survivor, and so we both shall be. I admire you. I am proud of you. You and I, dear childnow-grown, are the answer for others. The secrets of child •molesting and incest are out. No longer do we need to be victims. We shall live each day knowing we are special, powerful, loving women, learning and growing out of the ashes of our past. May God bless you. I thank you for being my daugher. With all my love, Mom.

The support group services are available to all students of any age. Now you see them, now you don't. Where are all of the Lane Community College students going? The dilemma of losing enrolled students before they get here, or shortly after, caused Barry Singer, research associate in LCC's Institutional Research, Planning, and Evaluation department to conduct a survey to find out exactly how many registered students do not complete a term. Julia Poole, LCC counselor, feels that if students have someone to say "Hey, I think I'm going under" to, they might get help before they quit. Poole states that if students understand they are not the only ones having trouble, they may adjust to the new environment and stay in school. Research shows that approximately 16-18 percent of students do not complete the term for which they register. Meetings are·held three days a week: Tuesday with David Spencer at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday with Cliff Davis at 11:00 a.m., and Thursday with Shirley Lucas and Virginia Klassen at 10:00 a.m. Call the Career Information Center at 2297 for details and location.

Then, with the opening strains of Dean Martin's goofy-classic song "Amore," we're treated to a fairy-tale-like opening shot of Manhattan. Filmmaker Norman Jewison argues for love based on emotion, rather than intellect. The script is replete with Jewison's refreshing philosophies of love, family, luck, death, infidelity, etc ... and they're all funny and touching. Cher, as Loretta, gives a dead-eyed comic characterization of a 37 year-old working-class widow about to be married to someone she doesn't love. What she wants is children. When fiancee Johnny, (Danny Aiello), goes to Sicily to be with his dying mother, he asks Loretta to inform his estranged younger brother Ronnie about the wedding. Both Ronnie and Loretta are big losers in the love lottery. Ronnie brings out the contrasting emotions of maternalism and lust in Loretta. Realizing that life is in the present, he seduces her: "Love doesn't make things nice," he says, " it ruins us . . . stars are perfect, snowflakes are perfect," humans aren't. The casting is brilliant down to the smallest role. Venerable actors Vincent Gardenia and Olimpia Dukakis as Cher's mom and dad are a joy to watch. Jewison and his crew evoke not only the feel of , Little Italy, but the tastes and smells as well. Don't go to this movie hungry. "Moonstruck" is playing at the Valley River Center Cinema World. :'. .......~.2·•·········· ·---.-........... -.. .........•,•·-· .•.

LCC Theatre to stage off-the-wall come dy by David Monje TORCH Entertainment Editor For its second performance this year, the LCC Performing Arts Department is staging the comedy "A Company of Wayward Saints." The play, written by award- winning Oregon playwright George Herman, is about a modern troupe of actors which travels around, entertaining audiences with improvised vaudeville acts, juggling, and music. The fun begins when the The cast of "A Company of Wayward Saints." Page 8 January 22, 1988 The TORCH company members, pennyless with no way home, find a wealthy patron who promises to buy their tickets home if they can entertain him. As the main attraction the troupe chooses to perform a "wacky" version of "The History of Man, from Adam and Eve on.'' ''This is a story about contemporary actors who play the stock characters of comedia dell'arte, traditional Italian comedy which incorporates very animated acting, mime, spoofs on contemporary themes, and crazy, off-thewall, humor," says director Judith "Sparky" Roberts. Will Martin plays Harlequin, the smart clown. Martin has performed for the Eugene Opera, in "La Boheme" and ''Yeomen of the Guard,'' acted in the Very Little Theatre's "Li'l Abner," and the Mainstage production of ''Oliver.'' Columbine, the jealous wife, is played by Peg Major, who acted opposite Martin in ''Oliver.'' She performed in the Mainstage Cabaret production of "Nunsense" last year, and has acted in the LCC productions ''How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and "Godspell." David Bull, veteran performer of LCC productions of "Bus Stop" and "Luther," plays Dottore. The rest of the characters and musicians in an improvisational band, the Musica Maestros, are played by LCC students. Roberts, an LCC theatre instructor, has directed LCC's faculty production of ''Cold Storage." She's also directed musical productions of Arthur Miller's "Creation of the World and Other Business," and Eugene Ionesco's "Macbeth." She has performed with the NewMime Circus for several years. '' A Company of Wayward Saints," which is performed across the US approximately 200 times a year, will open at the LCC main theatre Jan. 29 and runs Jan. 30, Feb. 3, 4, 5, and 6. Performances begin at 8 p.m., and admission is $6. Reserved tickets are available in advance from t}:l~ LCC Box Office, 726-2202, and Marketplace Books in the Fifth Street Public Market.
