Car thefts are uncommon ... yet possible at LCC.

Students with children

Guidelines change

by Robert Ward

TORCH Associate Edito r

Independent students with children may not be affected as
previously thought under new federal financial aid guidelines,
says LCC Financial Aid Director Linda Waddell.
Although new regulations state that students can no longer
consider child-rearing costs as part of their educational expenses, these costs may be offset by another change, according
to Waddell.
She says the difference arises in the way students' resources
are calculated by the College Scholarship Services (CSS), the national organization that determines financial aid eligibility.
"Education is now only one demand on a student's discretionary income, whereas before it was considered the only one,''
explains Waddell.
Because of Congressional Methodology, a new system mandated by the federal government to determine financial aid
eligibility, beginning in the 1988-'89 school year between 22 and
47 percent of a student's discretionary income will be calculated
•as available for education. It was 70 percent.
Most of a student's extra money was cons1ctered available for
schooling, but the new regulations realize that students have
other expenses.
Under the old method, CSS calculated eligibility by an applicant's projected income for the upcoming year. Financial aid
allocated was based on those figures. Now, eligibility will be based on a student's income from the previous calendar year.
CSS places a financial aid applicant into one of four
categories on the basis of the applicant's completed financial aid
form
• Simple Methodology -- For people who didn't file a W 10-40,
but may have filed a 1040A or 1040EZ, or made less than
$15,000.
• Dislocated Worker -- For people who have been laid off or
terminated from a job due to plant closures, poor economic conditions, or a natural disaster. This is a new category -- previoussee Guidelines, page 7

A vehicle stolen from the
LCC parking lot on Jan. 18
was recovered with minor
damage, according to Senior
Trooper Phillip Zerzan of the
Oregon State Police.
The vehicle, a 1976 Datsun
King Cab pickup belonging to
LCC student Paul Merrill, was
taken from the gravel parking
lot on the west side of campus
sometime between 9:30 a.m.
and 9 p.m., according to a
report filed with the Lane
County Sheriff's office and
obtained by the TORCH.
The thief broke the truck's
back wi ndow and hotwired it,
according to Merrill, who says
he had locked the doors and
double-checked them before
leaving the car for the day .
''Whoever took it knew
what they were doing,'' says
Merrill. "I'm out there every
week at the same time. ' ' He
says it would be easy for someone to note his pattern.

The vehicle was found at
11 :20 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan .
19, at milepost 18 on the
McKenzie Highway, accordi ng
to the State Police report .
The thief took a tape deck
and sound equalizer worth
$550, along wit h ta pes,
clothing and other items, according to Merrill.
Most stolen vehicle reports
at LCC are actually cases of a
student forge tting wher e
he/she parked, or fr iends
moving the vehicle as a prank,
according LCC Secu rity
Manager Paul Chase, who
also provided some information on the crime.
The only other reported
vehicle theft at LCC occured
last summer when a pick-up
truck was stolen from the LCC
motor pool, says Chase. The
truck was recovered in Springfield several days later.
Chase advises students to
double- heck that all car doors
and locking steering columns
are secure before leaving a
vehicle to help prevent thefts.

Troupe remains student senator
by Alice Wheeler

TORC H Staff Wr;ter

Despite a four week effort by some ASLCC
Senators to impeach Tim Troupe, he remains a
Student Government Senator.
In November, a student petition with over
100 signatures was submitted to the ASLCC
Senate stating that they didn't want Troupe as a

Campus Security officer. Some senators allege
that Troupe threatened to break the struggling
student's arm.
When asked about his involvement in the incident, Troupe said, "They were both rolling
around on the concrete. At that point there was
no one in control of the situation. The possibility of injury to either individual was great. I ask-

ed the security officer if he
needed help. He said yes. I
asked him a second time, at
which point I got involved and
effectively de-escalated the
situation.''
Some ASLCC senators suggested that Troupe was in
possible violation of school
code section 104-A.6,
"Detention, physical abuse, or
conduct which threatens the
imminent physical safety of
any person in the college community."
But LCC Vice President for
Student Services Jack Carter
told the TORCH that, in his
opinion, "Nothing indicated

'You wouldn't believe ... ' the cost of elementary education
by Julie Crist
TORCH Editor

Should we be learning
vowels in college?
On the first day of my second LCC literature class,
after handing each of us a
syllabus, the instructor wrote
the word "syllabus" on the
board and spent five minutes
explaining what a syllabus is.
She followed this up with a 20
minute lecture on which dictionary is the best one for
students to buy, and how to
use it.
On the second day of this
class, the instructor, in the
course of trying to define the
subject of study, quite obligingly ran through the vowels.
I withdrew from the class.
I am not paying for a second
grade education. LCC has
classes available for educationally delayed students. To
the best of my knowledge,
they are not called ENG 103,
104 or 105.
Where do we draw the line?
How do we know when our
educational expectations have
dropped too low? Too often I
hear "You'd be suprised at
how many people don't know
(whatever)!"
Well, maybe I would be
suprised. But how does this
problem get started in the first
place? Could it be that junior

high and high school teachers
down the line are saying, "For
some of you this may be a
review, but you'd be suprised
at how many students don't
know this!"
What is a student, unfamiliar with the attitude of a
four-year university, supposed
to do when they transfer only
to discover that those professors don't care if you even
open your book, let alone
know your vowels?
LCC is the perfect atmosphere for those of us
older, returning, scholastically
flabby students who would
rather stand in the wading
pool for a year of two, than
swim in the shark-infested
university ocean. Its function
differs from that of a fouryear school, and it fills a
specific need in the community.
If we are willing to spend
$90,000 on marketing to fight
our "Lame" Community College image problem, let's also
search and destroy our
remedial education problems.
I have had some outstanding instructors at this school.
I mean I have wondered why
some of these brilliant people
aren't off solving the world's
problems or getting rich in the
private sector.

King called for brotherhood, not blanie
I was ten years old in 1963, when the
Long Hot Summers began to drag the
social consciousness of the nation to the attention of the world. In Vermont, isolated
from riots (isolated, in fact, from blacks), I
listened to the news on my transistor radio
as Birmingham erupted and school children
needed police escorts in order to attend
class. People fired names, rocks, tear gas,
and bullets at each other. I tried to understand the anger, hatred, and violence. Who
was right? Who was wrong? Why?
In August, I watched as 200,000 people
marched through the streets of Washington
to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, and
listened to Martin Luther King speak of
commitment to civil rights and of a dream.
The power of his words rang in my head
and sent reverberations through my level of
understanding. This man, six hundred
miles away, was speaking to blacks, to the
marchers, to the nation, and to me. His
words helped me understand the events I
saw on television were not someone else's
problem. The shock waves from Alabama,
Georgia, Mississippi, and Illinois rocked
my world, and so affected me.

MLK essay contest winner

by Deborah Light

17--tt= V!CI/M

The Civil Rights movement of the 1960's
was filled with blood and blame. The
North felt the South should be forced to
give up Jim Crow. The South retorted the
North didn't understand the problem, and
pointed to Chicago to prove its case. Blacks
threw eggs and insults at King. Whites
threw rocks at blacks. James Baldwin promised "The Fire Next Time," and
Malcolm X preached violence for violence.
Martin Luther King stepped out of the
roles of prosecutor and prosecuted. He
understood and respected the emotional
response to racism, yet realized a solution
to the nation's problems could begin only
when people stopped placing or accepting
blame. Looking for someone to blame for
racism led to resentment, anger, and
hatred. These emotions could lead to a cycle of violence which would end when one
side outgunned the opposition. An article
in the December 4 issue of LCC's TORCH
quotes King: "I know I could resent every
person in the white race, and it would be
easy. That's the point. It would be too
easy, and I know the answer to so much of
this is more complicated."
King did not look for someone to blame
for racism, nor was he willing to accept the
status quo. His words pleaded with a nation to look at itself, acknowledge the injustices, and move beyond blame toward
discovering how to begin mending wounds.
King's primary purpose was to secure civil
rights for blacks in America. His speeches
indicate this goal was just a first step
toward the creation of a community of men
and women capable of celebrating

forum by Bob Wolfe

TORCH Staff Writer

As we all know, the faculty and the administration are
currently having a time of it
trying to negotiate a new contract.
Part of the contract negotiations involves the issue of how
much work the faculty can be
required to do. It is known as
the workload issue.
The workload issue has its
own history.
The story begins last
February at the monthly LCC
Board of Education meeting.
George Alvergue and some
other faculty members, including those from the
beleaguered High School
Completion department, gave
a presentation that showed
clearly that some departments
are grossly overworked.
Some board members, to
their credit, were concerned.
After all, the faculty had accepted a contract two years
ago without settling on the
workload issue. Unless the
problem was addressed, their
good-faith measure would be
betrayed. So the board
ordered the administration to
conduct a thorough study of
faculty workloads. And they
set a deadline of May for the

Court Rules Against High Schools
The Supreme Court, in a 5-3 ruling, declared that high
school journalists do not have the same First Amendment
protection for free speech that professional journalists
claim.
The Court overturned a ruling by the US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in which East High School
principal Robert E. Reynolds deleted student-written articles on divorce and teenage pregnancy in a schoolsponsored newspaper.
Justice Byron White, writing for the majority, declared
that the Missouri newspaper was published as part of a
journalism class, not a public forum available to all
students, so therefore was not protected under First
Amendment guarantees of free speech.
Reynolds censored two pages of the newspaper that included interviews with three students who became pregnant, and with students who described the impact of their
parents' divorce on them.
The students' real names were not used in the articles,
but the Hazelwood School District contended that
Reynolds acted to prevent invasion of the students'
privacy. It also argued that the district did not want to be
seen as officially endorsing the sexual norms of the pregnant teenagers.
The ruling did not specifically point out the distinction
between high schools and colleges.
Although many college newspapers are published independently of campus authority, others are sponsored by
colleges and produced in courses that carry academic
credit, similar to the East High School case.
In a dissenting opinion, Justice William J. Brennan said
Reynolds violated the First Amendment's prohibition
against censorship of any student expression that neither
disrupts classwork nor invades the rights of others, and
against any censorship that is not narrowly tailored to
serve its purpose.
Higher Ed Reports on Women
The American Council on Education has called on colleges and universities to adopt 15 guidelines aimed at improving the status of women on the nation's campuses.
The recomendations, which were issued last week in a
report by the council's Commission on Women in Higher
Education, include correcting what the writers call inequities in hiring, salaries, and tenure rates; developin·~ personnel policies that support children and families; a-.1d encouraging and supporting new scholarships for wo-.nen.
The report also recommends that colleges address
prevailing attitudes that may restrict the pror;res of
women, not only in the classroom but outside as well.
The report, called "The New Agenda of Women for
Higher Education" is being distributed to help colleges
meet the needs of women, who now constitute more than
half of undergraduate enrollments.

''(Reagan), Bush, Meese,
and Abrams are prime candidates for impeachment.
They should be prosecuted in a
private capacity without
government assisstance," Bill
Davis told a standing-room
only crowd at the EMU
Ballroom on Jan. 21.
Davis is a Jesuit priest and
co-founder of the Christie Institute, an interfaith law and
public policy center based in
Washington DC.
The Institute has filed a $23
million lawsuit, which Davis
claims, that "for a quarter
century, a 'secret team' of US
military officials, CIA officials, and private individuals
have waged secret wars, toppled governments, trafficked
drugs, assassinated political
enemies, and stolen from the
US government.''
The lawsuit was filed on
behalf of ABC cameraman
Tony Arvigan, and his wife,
.Marthe Honey. Arvigan was
injured in a bombing in La
Penca, Nicaragua, on May 30,
1984.

Davis claims the bombing
was a failed assassination attempt on the life of Edon
Pastora, a Contra leader, who
had called a press conference
to denounce CIA pressures.
Davis alleges a suitcase containg C-4 explosives was set
next to the podium by Amac
Galil, a Chilean assassin
recruited by the secret police
to pose as a Dutch photojournalist.
"The suitcase was inadvertantly knocked over and the
impact of the blast went up,
instead of outward. Eight people died and 28 were seriously
. injured. The bomb was designed to kill everyone in the
room," Davis told the audience. He claims the incident
was supposed to bring blame
to the Nicaraguans, instead of
the Reagan-backed Contras.

The "La Penca" lawsuit indictes 29 people, including
high-ranking American officals such as retired Air Force
Major General, Richard
Secord, Theodore Shackley,
Thomas Clines, John K.
Singlaub, and international

scheduled to be heard in

Court on June 29, 1988, Davis

arms dealer, Albert Hakim -all names prominently mentioned in last summer's IranContra hearings.
The lawsuit alleges that
these men are part of a "secret
team," conspiring to wage a
private war in Nicaragua.
Davis says, "This private
war is partially financed by the
smuggling of drugs from Columbia through Costa Rica and
into the United States."
Davis told the crowd that
the lawsuit was filed under the
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act. The
RICO Act gives the plaintiff's
lawyers federal subpoena
power for an unusually broad
range of testimony and
documents, including bank,
telephone, travel, and business
records.
On a speaking tour publicizing the La Penca case, which is

frequently described in the
press -- I don't see what's
liberal about wanting to save
the Constitution or using legal
structures to bring about
justice."
When asked if he fears for
his life, Davis replied, "Yes
and no. We take precautions
and go public with everything
we do.
"We all face danger . . . I
don't fear doing what I ought
to do."
Davis said his religious convictions drive him to seek
justice, but there is a certain
amount of ignorance and
apathy among people about
the La Penca lawsuit.
For a lot of people ''there is
a positive desire to not know
this stuff, because if you know
it, it's too scary," he said.
"Nobody is so blind as a person that doesn't want to see."

Tanguma's ~sculpture mural' depicts struggle
by Gary Jones

TORCH Staff Writer

'' Art is a matter of conscience,'' Leo
Tanguma told Latino students in his
Jan. 26 presentation at LCC.
Tanguma said he is attempting to bring awareness to the situation in Central America through his artwork and
speeches.
American Friends Service Committee through its program, La Causa
(Latinos, Americanos, Chicano/Mexicanos Against US Aggression), commissioned Tanguma to create what he
calls "sculpture murals," depicting
real-life incidents of injustice.
Tanguma stated he hopes to
''reconstruct the struggle of all people
with the struggle of the people in this
mural, titled, 'We are all children of
the Quetzal.' "
Tanguma selected Quetzal, a bird
native to Central America, to symbolize the people of that area. It does
not reproduce in captivity, and dies
shortly after being confined.

Several crosses of different dimensions create the foreground of the
mural, with one incident of injustice
depicted on each one. Most incidents
are tied to America through a symbol,
or colors of the American flag.
Behind the crosses is the Quetzal
mural. It stands eight and one-half feet
tall with a length of 23 feet. The
outstretched wings of the Quetzal
cradle the crosses directly in front.
Depicted are Benjamin Lind~r, an
American from Portland who wa_s killed while working on a hydroelectric
project in Nicaragua; Uncle 'sam,
holding the bloody hand of a three year
old Guatalmalan girl who was seized
by the Contras and tortured to death in
front of her parents; Somoza, the
former leader of Nicaragua, shown

pliers pull her toes.

Lane's 'lost vveekend' angers coach
by Patrick Bryan

the first half but the Titans managed_to stay
close, mainly due to Tony Broadous' outside
shooting.

TORCH Sport s Editor

A visibly upset Oale Bates promised
wholesale changes on his men's basketball
squad after losing back to back games on Jan.
22 and 23.
Bates, in his 15th season as head coach of the
Titans, blamed "weak defense" as the main
reason for losing to the Clackamas CC Cougers
Friday night in Oregon City 81-76, and then
blown out by Chemeketa CC the next night at
Lane, 90-74.
"We're playing two kinds of defense this
year," said Bates," poor and none."
The Titans have had trouble all year with
their defense, and Bates says his players are not
"taking any pride in their defense," and with
Lane now in a three way tie for last in the
NWAACC, time is running out on the Titan's
1988 play-off hopes.
Lane was down by six at the half against
Clackamas, 31-25, but LCC was unable to stop
the Cougar's Trev Kiser or Jeff Hoffman, who
each scored 21 points. Harold Michaud, whose
steady play has been a bright spot for the Titans
all year, led all LCC scorers with 19 points.
Guard Dave Fleissner had a season high 17
points.

Don Brent nails a jumper against Chemeketa.

But it was Saturday night's game with

year in a row.
The Titans traveled to
Oregon City Jan. 22 to play
Clackamas CC, who was 5-0
at the time and lodged in first
place.
Lane trailed by as much as
16 points in the first half
before ·rallying behind the play
of sophomore Sheryl Jones to
lead by five with only four
minutes to go. But the
Cougar's showed the kind of
poise associated with an
undefeated team and came
back to beat Lane 57-52.
At home the next night
against Chemeketa, Lane

dropped a 61-56 decision. The
Titans outrebounded the
Chiefs 37-15 but shot only 37
percent from the field to
Chemeketa's 51 pe:cent.
Sheryl Jones led LCC ;coring
with 17, and Terri G01tler added 10.
On Wednesday, Jan 27,
Lane visited Albany with
hopes of getting back on the
winning track and led LinnBenton at the half, 29-27, but
were outscored 16-2 to start
the second half by the
Roadrunners and ended up
losing 64-53. Sheryl Jones,
playing with a sore knee, led

Doll rejoins team, will redshirt
by Robert Smith
for the TORCH

After a serious head injury
sidelined him in October 1987,
Todd Doll, Lane's 1986-7
Most Valuable Player, is well
on the road to recovery.
Doll says he has defied doctors who said it would be at
least four months, if not
longer, before he would be
able to participate in any
physical activity. He has
returned to basketball practice
after only two months.
Doll suffered a fractured
skull when he was attacked

last fall at a UO football
game. He admits he has been
making incredibly quick progress. He still suffers from a
dull pain over his right eye,
but considers himself a "lucky
man.''
Being "lucky," plus the fact

The Titans trailed at the break, 38-29, but
fought back early in the second. half to trail by
only one, 43-42, after Fleissner drilled a three
pointer. The Titans stayed with the Chiefs until
Ray Bell, who finished with 31 points, began to
take over and led Chemeketa on a 12-2 run that
sunk LCC.

His return to the hardwood
as a Titan is now on hold due
to his injury. He is redshirting
this season and taking his
return one step at a time.
Dale Bates, head coach of
LCC men's basketball, is
"excited" about having the
Titan's leading scorer from
last year back.
A suspect was arrested
recently in the Oct. 31 incident
and Doll is hopeful a conviction will bring him some relief
from outstanding medical bills
from his stay in the hospital.

Leading scorers for Lane were Don Brent
with 19 points and Harold Michaud and Tony
Broadous, each with 17. The two losses dropped LCC to 2-4 in league play and 8-10 overall.

Cuts raise questions, cause rethinking
Belcher's hiring of an ·administrative assistant, Laura
Weaver. Many college
employees felt contempt
toward the administration cutting departments, services,
and employees while Belcher
was adding to her own department.

by Denise Abrams

TORCH Staff Writer

The dust has nearly settled
since LCC's 2.1 million budget
cuts last year. (insert stats here
from Sue Colvin)
Some college employees
questioned the procedures the
administration followed in
making its decisions on cutbacks and retrenchments.

Belcher says the issue is not
sensitive and the explanation is
clear. ''The money for Laura
Weaver's position was (in the
administration budget) when I
arrived. It was not money
taken from faculty to curtail
retrenchements,'' she says.
She notes if she would have
filled the administrative assistant position when she first arrived at LCC, it might not
have been such a controversy.

''There was a great
senstivitity to the numbers of
people who were retrenched.
We're talking about people
and human considerations,''
Jacquelyn Belcher, vice president of instruction, said in a
late November interview.
Belcher said the administration did the best it could
within the tight budget for
"The most
fiscal 1987-88.
difficult decisions that an administrator makes are those
about people," she continues,
"and yet, I don't think you
can be a good administrator
unless you know that, understand it, and still make the
decisions and accept those
decisions."
Belcher says the retrenchments may have been a surprise to college employees, but
the fact that LCC had budget
problems was not.
"Since the 1980-'81
academic year LCC has drop. ped in enrollments and increased its personnel.
Therefore, we were bringing in
less money through tuition
and state funding, and putting
out money in personnel
salaries. We have hopefully
bottomed out, but LCC has

been living beyond its means
for sometime," she says.
''The budget problems
didn't occur overnight and it's
no secret that we've had
budget problems. (The college) has watched its contingency move from $3 million
to $500,000. That's a big drop.
To me that says there is
something very wrong in the
institution."
Belcher says the college was
responsible to the employees
who lost their jobs due to the

Belcher says she had hoped
to fill the position in the early
part of June, but did not make
her decision until mid-August.
She says since part of the
salary for the position was not
used, she put that toward the
budget to offset the deficit.
She says she has heard
criticisms on her decision but
she adds, ''everyone has his or
her own perspective of how
work gets done. There is no

Some employees suggested a
"wage freeze" as a way of saving those employees destined
to lose their jobs. Belcher says
in 1987 the college administration thought about a wage
freeze, but decided it wasn't
the answer to the college's problems.
'' A wage freeze would
freeze wages, but in time how
are you going to make those
wages up to employees? People get financially behind
because the cost of living is increasing and the next thing
you know you've got to figure
out how to get them their
money back."
Belcher says a wage freeze is
nebulous. "We forget that we
are talking about people. A
wage freeze sounds easy, but
not when you attach it to a
face, a home, or to kids." She
says in some cases a wage
freeze would work, but not in
a 2.2 million discrepency.
With only one way for LCC
to go -- moving forward,
always retaining ideals of excellence -- Belcher says her
hopes for the college are very
optimistic. "I'm not depressed
about the future of LCC. I
think LCC has a bright future.
Yes, we went through a very
devastating experience this
past spring. It's time to
rethink."

study to be completed.
Lo and behold, May rolled
around and the study was not
complete. This caused much
embarrasement for VicePresident Jacquee Belcher at
the time, since she had been
charged with completing it.
And, as I recall, board
member Larry Perry became
somewhat angry, noting that
negotiations were coming up
and the administration would
be hampered without the
previously-mandated study.
I do know that some work

was done. It seems that a couple of professors from the UO
were hired, and they did some
preliminary work. But it was
far from the complete study
ordered by the board.
So we arrive at the present.
The negotiations continue,
with the workload issue at the
top of a list of issues. The
report is still not done. The admin strati on is indeed
hampered without the report.
And the faculty is being made
to look foolish for accepting a
contract without the workload
issue being settled two years
ago.

It would be easy for me to
place the blame for this at the
feet of President Turner. After
all, he is the one who directs
the negotiations for the college. And supposedly directs
the actions of his staff.
But instead, I think the
blame for all of this, and much
more, belongs with the board
of education., They are the
ones who are giving orders and
not making sure that they are
followed. They are the ones
who are reacting instead of
directing. And it will be they
who are responsible if this all
escalates even further.

budget cuts. She says the administration helped to relocate
employees -- some employees
who were terminated in their
jobs were relocated to other
vacant jobs on campus.

"However, I didn't fill the
position because I was new to
the office, I did not know
what the needs of the office
were, and I made it very clear
to President Turner that I
would not be filling the position until I knew more about

Review by David Monje

TORCH Entertainment Editor

Ruth Mountaingrove's work, now on display at the U of O's
Oregon Gallery in the Museum of Art, is a sensitive, perceptive,
insight into the creation of feminist communes in Southern
Oregon during the early 1970s.
Despite (or perhaps because of) the sometimes rough technical
qualities of the photographs, the viewer is compelled to look
carefully at the content of the images.
The portraits, which make up the bulk of the show, are at
once sensitive and telling, transcending the often harsh qualities
of documentary style. Mountaingrove shows the mutual love
that propelled these women through the early years of what she
terms a movement of ''new pioneers.,,'
Although the photographs were taken in the early '70s, many
of the women pictured are still living on the communes.
As an historical document, these images are visual definitions
of both the energy and compassion behind the feminist movement.
Mountaingrove is currently a graduate student of art at Humboldt State University in California. She was a co-founder of the
feminist magazines "Women's Spirit," and "Blatant Image,"
which deal with lesbian and feminist issues.

Taj Mahal hosts KLCC program
by David Monje

TORCH Entertainment Editor

Musician Taj Mahal will
host NPR's four part series
"Music from Africa to the
Americas" in February, Black
History Month.
KLCC, 89. 7 FM, will air the
series during its Tropical Beat
program each Friday in
February at 10 p.m.
''Taj Mahal is an ideal host
for this examination of the
fascinating music of Africa,"
Donna
producer
says
Limerick. "A brilliant musician and ethnomusicolgist, Taj
Mahal has explored many
African-derived musical styles
during his more than 20-year
musical career, including
Caribbean music styles, early
jazz, and African antecedents
of the blues,'' she says.

Performances slated
by Richard Martin
for the TORCH

Students in the Performing Arts Department get a
chance to display their dance, music and acting skills in
LCC Showcase Performances.
Pat Torelle, coordinator of the project, says "It gives
the students a chance to perform their skills in front of a
live audience, an opportunity some may never get again.''
Instructors select the students for excellence in their
chosen field, but the performers are free to work on their
own, with only some direction from the coordinator.
The first Showcase of the year was in December, which
was a "big success, and everyone enjoyed themselves,"
says Torelle.
The next performances are scheduled for March 1, and
the following week of March 9 at the LCC Theatre at
noon. A performance is also planned for Spring term. Admission is free.

The TORCH

The first show of the series
features traditional and innovative African music
created by African-American
musicians, including New
York artist Nana Yao Opare
Dinizulu.
Dinizulu, who has spent
more than 40 years researching
African music, will explain
how he recreates traditional
sounds with his '' African
dancers, drummers, and
singers,,' while his son Kimati
creates new music using only
traditional instruments.
The second show explores
the traditions of Cuban
religious music. Music plays a
crucial role in Santeria, a
religion combining elements of
and
worship
African
Catholicism.
Milton Cardona, master
drummer and Santeria priest,
plays his music and explains •

the significance of the sounds
in religious ceremonies. Cardona, a Puerto Rican, currently lives in New York.
The third program explores

Brazilian samba. Influenced
by Portuguese and African
rythm, samba is a represented
by many sounds throughout
Brazil. Samba musician Cyro
Baptista will offer his insights
on the varied elements of the
music.
The influences of African
music on the Protestant hymns
sung by black slaves in the US
are the topic of the fourth and
final show of the series. The
technique of "lining out," in
which a lead singer dictates a
line which the congregation
echoes, is the focus of the
show. Used by the slaves to
sing hymns in the fields and
rural churches, lining out has
become more elaborate over
the years. Recordings by Dr.
C. J. Johnson of Atlanta, will
demonstrate the progression
of hymn singing.
