NLP: Mastering the art of being your best
by Julie Crist

by Gary Jones

TORCH Editor

TORCH Staff Writer

Over 35 teachers and
students spent Saturday, Jan.
30 in Center 420, learning how
to be better teachers and
students through the use of
Neurolinguistic Programming
(NLP).

Almost everyone has heard
that only two things in life are
certain -- death • and taxes.
Death hasn't changed much
lately, but taxes have.
The Tax Reform Act of
1986 was ''the biggest tax
overhaul ever,'' according to
Jo Ann Isaksen of Gallagher
and Associates. She says some
of these changes may affect
students, so read the instruction booklets carefully.

'NLP is a somewhat
logical way of
gathering, storing,
processing and using
information. '
Social Science Department
Instructor John Klobas, and
NLP Master Practitioner Nancy Beplat, led the group
through a day-long seminar on
NLP.
NLP is a method of communication that focuses on
sharpening and using all of the
senses, choosing constructive
behavior patterns, and modeling the successful behavior of
others. It emphasizes teaching
and learning, focus.ing on how
we learn from ourselves.
Klobas, a Certified Master
Practitioner of the art of NLP,
says "NLP is a somewhat
logical way of gathering, storing, processing and using information. We have excellence
in the things we do. Sometimes
we write really well for a

minute, or five minutes, or an
hour. Then there's a flat spot,
a plateau, (before) we hit
another peak. NLP is a way of
learning how to do the things
that (we) do well, more often,
and for a longer time."
Modeling the excellence of
others is "learning how to borrow from other people the
strategies that they use for
their own excellence. It may be
learning how to golf, learning
how to ski, or learning how to
shoot a gun.''

Focusing on teacher modeling, Klobas asked small
groups of teachers and
students
to
list
the
characteristics of the most
memorable teachers under
whom they have ever studied.
The result was a_ master
teacher model for excellence
that
included
such
characteristics as: enthusiasm,
creativity, flexibility, rapport
building, knows subject and
has life experience, charisma
and presence, discipline,
respect, positivity, and sincerity.
Klobas stated that, while
each student values these
qualities differently, teachers

might keep the question
"When I teach, how do I rank
these?'' in mind when
teaching.
When asked why he became
interested in NLP, Klobas
replied "Because it was on
special. (LCC counselor) Jim
Cobb came to me and said
'Klobas, they're only charging
$1800 for this, plus $500-600
for a final examination,' and I
had difficulty resisting a
bargain."
Since his own first training,
Kio.bas has invested about
12,000 hours and $15,000 on
NLP training. He is now one
of the top group specialists on
the West Coast.

The Internal Revenue Service has tightened down on
filers who claim themselves as
a dependent and are claimed
as a dependent on someone
else's return, such as a
parent/ child situation. If your
parents can claim you as a
dependent their return (check
for exact requirements) and
they do not claim you, you
cannot claim yourself as a
dependent on your return.
If you can be claimed as a
dependent, you cannot use the
personal exemption when filing your return. Last year, the
personal exemption was
$1080, while this year it's increased to $1900.
The IRS has increased the
standard deduction this year,
which has the effect of reducing the part of your income
that is taxable. Under the new
laws, a single person can now
deduct $2540; married couples
who file jointly can deduct
$3760; and married couples

The LCC library staff wants the college to find the funds
necessary to lease a computerized magazine system.
_One such system, InfoTrac II, is a computer and CD player
with a data base containing citations from over 400 of the most
popular and widely_read magazines in print. It can be compared
t~ the bound version of the "Reader's Guide to Periodical
Literature.''
But since the college plans the budget a year and a half in advance, no funds are available for additional projects. Says Don

Community colleges must face burdens together
commentary by Robert Ward
TO RCH Associate Editor

Keeping up with the Jones',
or in this case, the Oregon
State Board of Higher Education (OSBHE), has community colleges concerned.
Last spring the OSBHE
voted to convert four-year
public universities and colleges
to a semester calendar in the
fall of 1990. But the OSBHE
didn' t consider what effect
this would have on community
colleges.
Each community college
decides on its own whether to
convert or not because it is
controlled by its own locally
elected board -- there is no
state board to determine
overall policy.
However, while local control is Lane Community College's biggest asset, it may also
be it's biggest liability. Each
two-year school stands alone.
Community colleges must
assess their collective power
and learn to use it!
They must find a way to
unify and protect themselves
from abrasive decisions made
• by the OSBHE. Two-year
schools aren't involved in

OSBHE decisions, but are affected by them.

Colleges Association, made up
of community colleges
presidents and lobbyists,
establishes priorities which it
wants the legislature to address. And while it has discuss-

conversion decision that so
drastically affected community colleges -- without considering input from the two-year
schools -- it was a slap in the
face.

ed the creation of a state community college board, the
presidents are afraid of losing
local control.
Community colleges play a
unique role in Oregon's educational society. When the
OSBHE made its semester-

unrealistic decision j us-t
because ''they'' did it..
Not long after the decision,
all of Oregon's community
colleges formed committees to
explore the pros and cons of
converting to a semester
system. Each community col-

lege spent countless employee
hours assessing the same
thing; how much will it cost in
money, employee time, and
other revisions.
A majority •of Oregon's
community colleges were
prepared to convert, as of October of last year, simply to
keep in step with the Higher
Ed board. But a lot of soulsearching by semester conversion committees has caused
community colleges to pause
and reflect on the role they
play in education.
Teaching students is the
mission of the colleges.
Regardless of the financial
costs and other burdens, the
main concern has to be
whether or not semesters
benefit students at the community college level.
Students who complete their
first two years of a continuing
education are only a small part
of the community college.
A lot of students are at LCC
for specific two-year degrees.
Requirements for those
degrees would have to be
altered to fit into two terms of
study each year instead of
three.

year, such as the quarter

Dachau trek recalls Nazi horrors
forum by Brian S. Jones
LCC student

A few years ago, I made a special
trip to a town in Southern Germany
near Munich. It isn't a large town, but
it is one with a dark past. Its name is
Dachau and during World War II, it
was one of the SS extermination
camps.
I had heard of Dachau and wanted
to see it. However, I wasn't quite ready
for the shock of the reality of what
happened there.
On the cool overcast day, as I walked up to the main gate, I first saw the
statue with a plaque. All it said in five
languages was "Never Again." I walk. ed on through the gate and it was as if
the light had dimmed. The air seemed
heavier and there wasn't a sound except for the other people.
I stopped just inside the gate and
looked at the walls, the wire, and the
towers. The ditch that ran along the
bottom of the wire fence was ten or 15
feet wide and about eight feet deep.
The wire was about 15 feet high and
had barbs every six inches or so. There
was no escape room between the vertical and horizontal strands which intersected every eight inches. The wall
and towers were white, with the towers
a little higher than the 20 foot wall.
The whole camp could be seen from
the guard towers, which had machine
gun emplacements.
I felt jumpy as I started to walk the
gravel main street about 400 yards to
the far end of the camp. Wooden barracks used to stand on each side of the
street, maybe 150 in all, but now only

the cement foundations were left. As I
walked, all I could hear was the gravel
under my feet.
Seventy-thousand people had been
imprisoned here. Of those 70,000 Jews
and political prisoners, 30,000 had died
in this concentration camp. The hair
on the back of my neck stood up and
my palms felt sweaty. It seemed I could
almost see and hear all the people of
Dachau's past. Their suffering was a
part of the ground, the buildings, and
the air.
By the time I arrived at the bridge at
the end of the main street, I was
covered in sweat and my knees were
weak. I sat on a bench for a few
minutes thinking of what had happened here at Dachau. I wondered how
many people -- men, women, and
children -- had crossed this bridge.
Once they crossed they didn't come
back because on the other side were the
ovens and the gas chamber.
I walked over the bridge. The creek
was flowing slowly and it didn't make
a sound. There were no birds singing.
When I saw the ovens, I had to stop. I
couldn't believe they were real. I had
read about the ovens and had seen pictures in books, but that still left room
for disbelief. But this was real. The red
brick and the flower beds gave the
buildings an urban look. They could
have been any red brick houses
anywhere. The only difference was the
chimneys. I could almost imagine the
smoke.
As soon as I walked inside, all
doubts I had about the use of the
buildings vanished. A row of four
ovens sat there. Each was open so peo-

pie could look inside. There were still
ashes inside and what could have been
bones, although I wasn't sure. The
ovens hadn't been turned on for 43
years, but the smell still permeated the
air. It was making some people cough
and choke. I could feel my skin crawl
all over my body. As people walked by
the ovens, some dropped flowers inside
and the flowers hung from the smoke
blackened beams.

On the way out I passed through
another room that was rather plain. I
thought that it was an office, but there
were no windows. Then I took a ·closer
look. The whole room had ceramic tile
-- floors, walls, and ceiling. I saw the
shower heads and my -heart skipped. I
was in the gas chamber. I was so
shaken I don't think I stayed 30
seconds. I just got out as quickly as I
could.
Once on the outside I walked around
to the back of the ovens and saw the rifle and pistol ranges where the SS
guards used live human targets to practice their marksmanship. The ground
was littered with flowers that people
had left. There stood a memorial to the
30,000 human beings who died at
Dachau, victims of the Nazi Third
Reich.
Nobody said a word except for a
whispered prayer or a sob.
As I walked back up the main street,
my head felt fuzzy, my knees weak,
and I was 'tired. "Why?" I asked
myself. "How could they really do
that?" I couldn't comprehend it, but I
was there. I saw it. Then I remembered
the plaque, "Never Again."

system has, benefits the large
amount of non-traditional
community college students.
They are frequently older,
have children, outside jobs,
and often must drop out for a
term for unforeseen reasons.
Assuming that tuition will
cost the same over a year,
students would have to pay
one half of a year's schooling
under semesters. This could
place an additional financial
burden on students already living in a economically depressed region.
The biggest obstacle to conversion is money. LCC
estimates its conversion costs
would fall between $500,000
and $1 million. For an institution as financially strapped as
Lane, that alone is reason
enough not to convert.
Community colleges play a
special role in Oregon education. But "local" control is
not always what it seems. If a
decision by the OSHBE can
cause such anguish among
community colleges, then they
should keep a closer eye on
what the OSBHE is doing.
Their interests are not
necessarily our interests.

House Rejects Contra Aid
The House of Representatives rejected President
Reagan's aid request for the Nicaraguan Contras on Feb.
3.
The 219-211 vote came after an impassioned speech by
Reagan the day before, and intense lobbying on both sides
the past few of weeks.
Reagan wanted $36.2 million, including $3.6 million in
lethal aid. Defeat of this package means the White House
is not guaranteed another congressional vote on the issue
during Reagan's term in office.
However, the administration can still seek additional aid
through the regular appropriations process -- a route more
easily blocked by the Democrat-controlled Congress but
one the White House will almost certainly try.
In killing the president's request, the House rejected
Reagan's arguments that the Contras are the stalwarts
against communism in Central America.
Instead, the House accepted the views of the Democratic
leadership that new aid would undermine the delicate process of achieving peace in the region by encouraging
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega to abandon his commitment to the Arias peace plan.
Oregon's congressmen voted along party lines.
Democrats Peter DeFazio, Ron Wyden, and Les Aucoin
opposed the aid request, while Republicans Bob Smith and
Denny Smith supported it.
The closeness of the vote reflected the high political
stakes of an election year, and the sensitive stage of the sixmonth old Central American peace plan.
Kennedy Confirmed for High Court
The Senate unanimously confirmed Anthony Kennedy
for a seat on the Supreme Court on Feb. 3, filling a vacancy left by the retired Lewis F. Powell last June.
Kennedy, a federal appeals court judge, was approved
97-0, ending a ferocious political battle in which President
Reagan's first two nominees weren't seated.
The president's first nominee, Robert Bork, was denounced as a right-wing zealot who threatened individual
freedom and civil rights progress. The Senate rejected him
on Oct. 23 by a 58-42 vote.
Reagan's second nominee, Douglas Ginsberg, withdrew
from consideration after admitting that he had smoked
marijuana while a Harvard law professor.
Kennedy is expected to play a pivotal role on the sharply
divided court, particularly on such issues as abortion, affirmative action, and separation of church and state.
Pell Grants Running Short
More than 50,000 low-income college students will be
denied Pell Grants, and 1.2 million will receive smaller
grants than they are eligible for in 1988-'89 unless Congress provides more money, the Education Department announced.
An article in the Chronicle of Higher Education said the
Pell Grant program has run short of funds in the last
several years and Congress has rountinely approved extra
money or borrowed from the funds it had planned to
allocate in the future.
Members of Congress often have a difficult time
deciding how much money is necessary because student-aid
programs require them to estimate how many students will
qualify nearly two years in advance.
At present, if the Pell Grant program runs short of
money, awards to higher-income students are either reduced or eliminated so that awards to lower-income students
can be maintained.
With a $99 million shortfall, some college students may
lose up to $400 each, while the awards of others would be
left untouched.

Ski or school?
by Julie Crist

TORCH Editor

To some students, waking in a winter wonderland during the
week automatically means a ski trip. Others wait with bated
breath for a radio announcement to set them free.
But what do you do if the radio broadcast says "School has
been delayed by 2 hours," or, "School has been delayed until
10:00 a.m. ?"
Marie Reid, executive assistant to the president, says that
when school is delayed, all classes normally held before the
designated hour are cancelled. If school is delayed until 10 a.m.,
all 8 ancl 9 a.m. classes are cancelled for the day.
So if your only class is before the announced delay hour, go
skiing.

Breathing life into death

by Robert Wolfe
TORCH Staff Writer

''The question can be reduced to whether the quantity of
life or the quality of life is
more important,'' says Derek
Humphry, former Sunday
London Times reporter and
founder of the National
Hemlock Society.
He is speaking about
euthanasia. Suicide. Selfdeliverance. The act of taking
one's own life as a willful solution to protracted, painful,
terminal illness. The Right to
Die.

Eugene resident Marilyn
Clough has cancer. She told
me during our August interview, "I went into the hospital
in December last year, " she
recalls. "They discovered that
my body was riddled with
cancer. " Possibly terminal,
she may only have three months of life remaining despite
ongoing drug therapy. "I
decided it was time to study
my options, " she says. One
option she takes very seriously
is that of active, voluntary
euthanasia. She discovered the
Hemlock Society.
Humphry founded the National Hemlock Society in
1980 with a goal of
'' supporting the option of active, voluntary enthanasia for
the terminally ill."
But this does not mean the
group gives support to anyone
desiring death. It does not support suicide for emotional or
financial reasons.
Instead, it holds the view
that "self-deliverance" should
be a conscious, active choice.
The General Principles of the
organization read, in part:
''The final decision to terminate life is ultimately one's
own. Hemlock believes this action, and most of all its timing, to be an extremely personal decision, wherever possible taken in concert with family, close friends, and personal
physician."
"Many times a person can
be kept alive long past the
point they would naturally
die," says Humphry. "The
right to die is the ultimate civil
liberty.''

Clough is 58, divorced, and
the mother of two boys, age 15
and 16. When she first told
them about her cancer,
"Trauma attacked the f amity. "But by facing the problem
and talking about it, •they
learned to deal with her possible death. "They have already
gone through the stages of
grief, and now cancer is a
household word, " she smiled.
"They don't let me use it as an
excuse for anything."
She added: "If it gets so bad
that I am a drain on my f amity, and I am not contributing
anything to society, there
would be no point in living. "
Humphry' s motivation
results from a traumatic ex-

perience of his own. In 1975,
while living in England, his
wife of 22 years, Jean, wasterminally ill with bone cancer.
Jean realized the futility of her
situation, and approached her
husband with a request. She

graph ic by Kerry Wade

wanted his help in arranging
her own death, on her terms.
Although aware that it is illegal to aid another person in
suicide, (in Oregon it is considered second degree
manslaughter), Humphry
remembers: "I said, 'to hell
with the law.' I saw the logic
of it right away, and agreed
without hesitatipn. The only
question was how to go about
it."

While still in the hospital,
Clough asked a minister for
information on voluntary
euthanasia. He gave her books
on the legal aspects of the subject. "But what I wanted was a
book that listed the ingredients
for do-it-yourself."

"She had been arranging her
affairs -- giving away her
things, and saying good-bye to
the children. But knowing the
time was close didn't make it
any easier.''

And one day, Jean announced her intention to take
her own life that afternoon.
They spent their last morning together. Old arguments
were settled, fond memories
recalled. Jean made her husband promise to remarry, and
even suggested some suitable
women.
"When the time came, I
gave her a cup of coffee with
the drugs in it. I insisted that
she take it herself. She drank it
knowing full-well what it was.
Then, she died . It was the
most tragic, yet most wonderful day of my life.''
The memory of that day has
provided him with his life's
mission.

Marilyn Clough does not
want to die needlesly. But she
is not afraid of death. A few
years ago, she almost died
after a bee sting. "The doctors
say that my body just stopped
working for a while. I
remember seeing a light that
was warm and comforting. So
now I know that death does
not have to be a bad thing.
Many people are surprised by
my good humor in facing my
situation. But I don't understand how tears would bring
about a good death. "

With the encouragement of
his second and current wife,
Ann, Humphry wrote a book
about his experience so that
others
could share what he

Tide of immigrants floods assistance program

full time all summer, and when classes began
again in the fall, the volunteers cut their hours
to two nights a week. Now they work only one
night a week.

TORCH Staff Writer

After nine months of operation, the Immigration Assistance Project (IAP) is no longer
accepting new clients.

But the work has taken its toll on the
volunteers. "We have no budget, we're burned
out. We have only five volunteers (and they)
have other jobs during the day," says Mesquita.

Connie Mesquita, head of LCC's MultiCultural Center, who has been involved in the
program on her own time, says the IAP's goal
was to help immigrants prepare the initial
paperwork and documents enabling them to apply for permanent residency in the US.

She adds that it's discouraging for the IAP.
"We would need money and a full-time staff.
We have no plans for the future. We will finish
off our clients (cases) and close down for
good."

She says the IAP never advertised, but word
of mouth brought it over 200 clients.
Nevertheless, Mesquita says only "about 20
people have received their (permanent resident)
cards. It is a difficult process, not something
done in one or two visits. Immigration laws are
constantly changing, just the little things. Many
people just can't afford to get it all done."

There are no similar programs in Lane County, she says. Immigrants needing assistance will
now have to go to immigrant assistance projects
in Salem or Woodburn for help with filling out
their forms.

According to Mesquita, the Catholic Mission
San Pablo set up the IAP at Saint Paul's
Catholic Church in May, but in July it reached
an agreement with LCC to use space in the
Multi-Cultural Center. IAP volunteers worked

Mesquita says the IAP was established to
prevent legalization rip-offs: she claims that
some people will set up shop, overcharge immigrants for filing legalization papers, and
never file them.

Do you need shelter? Food?

Call
Info-Line
at
342-HELP. It's a free, countyfunded information/ referr al
service operating out of the
White Bird Clinic at 341 E.
12th Ave. in Eugene.
According to Office Coordinator Ann Rudy, one of
three people operating the service, Info-Line serves as many
as 50-70 people daily, including many students. The

primary focus is on emergencies, she says.
But Info-Line's mandate
from the county is to provide
information on a wide range
of needs, such as transportation, medical services, house
repairs, and utility costs.
Info~Line's task of finding
food sources (food baskets,
soup kitchens) is still relatively
easy, says Rudy. She and her
staff communicate regularly
with
resource
people
throughout the community in
order to keep an up-to-date list

of providers.
But she says that ''the housing situation is a mess." In
1987, Eugene and Springfield
family emergency shelters
were full, even during the summer. Most shelters have a
waiting list. Families with
children, according to Rudy,
are apprehensive about having
to stay in shelters with large
numbers of "adult male indigent sorts."
Info-Line is open from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday
through Friday.

Titan basketball teams continue rough road

(ABOVE)
Sheryl Jones hits a
jumper against
Umpqua.
(SIDE)

The LCC basketball teams
continue to struggle as they
each lost both their games last
week.
On Feb. 3 the men's and
women's squads traveled to
Coos Bay to face the
Southwestern CC Lakers.
The women played first and
though they trailed by 10
points with only a minute to
play, they lost a heart breaker,
64-63.
The Titans rallied to hit
three 3-pointers to get within
one, and then got the ball back
with a chance to win the game.
But a couple of last-second
shots wouldn't go in, and the
Lane women lost their fifth
game in a row to drop to 2-6 in
league play.
Tanya Thompson led the
Titan scoring with 16 points,
followed by Sheryl Jones with
12. Jones was Lane's leading
scorer the previous four
games.
Sage Quillici led the Lakers
with 20 points.
It was deja-vu in the second
game as the Titan men watched Laker Leon Thompson's
layup as time expired to beat
Lane, 67-66.
Dave Fleissner hit a driving
shot in the key with eight
seconds left to give Lane a one
point lead.
After a Southwestern
timeout, Laker Nate Richard
drove the lane drawing the
defense to him, leaving
Thompson open under the
basket for the game-winner.

Athletic trainer hired
by Mariyln King
for the TORCH

Kay Gidley, the new parttime athletic trainer at LCC, is
responsible for over 100
athletes at Lane.
She works in the Athletic
Department for the care and
prevention of athletic injuries.
Her job includes first aid,
rehabilitation, and evaluating
injuries and the extent of
them. She also attends Titan
volleyball, baseball, and track
games and practices. ·
Due to a $44,000 cut in last
year's school budget, full-time
trainer Janet Anderson was let
go, according to Athletic
Department Director Robert
Foster. The Athletic Department was able to carry-over
more than $10,000 in savings,
he said, enough to rehire a
part-time trainer.

The Athletic Department
approached Anderson with the
opportunity to reclaim her
position, part-time only. According to Foster, she declined.
Applicants were then interviewed and Gidley, a certified
athletic trainer, was hired.
Gidley became interested in
athletic training in 1977 when
she injured her knee playing
soccer for Portland Community College. She worked with
PCC's athletic trainer for two
weeks and found she liked the
profession.
After transferring to the
University of Oregon in 1980,
Gidley finished her bachelors
degree in physical education
and sciences in 1982. She then
finished her masters degree in
physical education-human
movement studies in 1984.

As expected, a quarterback
dominated Sunday's Super
Bowl. Of course, what wasn't
expected was that the player
was the Washington's Doug
Williams, not Denver's -John
Elway.
Elway started out looking
like the superman Bronco fans
make him out to be. His first
pass from scrimmage was a 56
yard toss for a touchdown to
Ricky Nattiel, and a collective
groan could be heard
emanating from our nation's
capital.
But the second quarter
changed all that. The Bronco
defense, which is the smallest
in the NFL, was reduced to
watching helplessly as
Williams and the Redskins' offensive line did just about
anything and everything they
wanted.
•
From there the gam~ turned
into "Super Snore" XXII,
which, given the history of this
bloated spectacle, should not
have been that surprising.
One thing I might recommend in regard to the halftime
show is that anyone even

Titans Branch (34) and Michaud (32) fight for rebound.
LANE (66) -- Branch 14, Brent
13, Broadus 11, Michaud 11,
Courtney 9, Fleissner 6, Surmier 2, Auxier.
SOUTHWESTERN (67) -Richard 20, Clay 18, Thompson 18, Barksdale 6, Green 4,
Mich'l 1, Hilliard, Lyles.

LANE (63) -- Thompson 16,
Jones 14, Warner 11, Altman
10, Looney 6, Prom 4, Gortler
2, Englert.
SOUTHWESTERN (64) -Quillici 20, Warren 17, Brummel 9, Hartwick 8, Lewis 7,
Al tree 2, Keefer 1, Henry.

remotely connected to that
mess should be rounded up
and sterilized. Future generations will thank us.
In the end it was nice to see
Williams, after answering
every conceivable question
about being the first black
quarterback to start in the
Super Bowl, come out and
overshadow Elway, who most
people had already pencilled in
as the game's MVP before it
even started.
But this is nothing new for
Williams, who knows all
about adversity. After being
drafted by Tampa Bay out of
college, he wound up signing
with the Oklahoma Outlaws of
the USFL. After two years in
football purgatory he finally
made i_t to the "bigs", where

he quickly learned that the
powers that be in Tampa, at
that point, had about as much
confidence in him as most people have in Ed Meese now.
And if all of this wasn't
enough, Williams' wife died of
a brain tumor while he was in
Tampa.
Sunday's game may have
been another yawner after the
first half, but millions. of people saw a man who, mainly
because of his color and the
position he had chosen to
play, was supposed to be overshadowed by someone who is
considered to be the prototype
at that position. I guess
Williams and the rest of the
Redskins never read the script,
which might be a pretty good
lesson for everyone.

Program addresses
nanny shortage .
by Dianna Feldman
for the TORCH

''There are easily 20 or more
job offers for each student in
the Nanny profession, and you
don't have to go out of state."

Dr. Belcher and Don Ownbey key in on Infotrac II.

..

"-A registered trademarl< of FTDA

Page 6

, 1988 FTDA

February 5, 1988

Ownbey, acquisitions librarian in LCC's Learning Resource
Center, the college can buy the Info Trac II system on a four year
contract for about $20,000, or lease the system for five years for
a price totalling about $25,000.
''We will pursue many avenues in raising funds,'' said
Ownbey.
He says the ASLCC has shown considerable interest in the
system's ability to serve the students' needs, and may be able to
assist in helping the library staff fund this project.
Ownbey stated that his primary interest in the project is in
providing more information for the student than was available
before. In fact, InfoTrac II's data base contains 6-8 times more
information than the Reader's Guide.
InfoTrac II, says Ownbey, "Is one of the most current information technologies available today.''
The TORCH ·

According to Linda Riepe,
the Early Childhood Education coordinator who began
LCC's Nanny Traing Program
last year, three of LCC's first
four graduates are working in
the profession. This year there
are 20 students enrolled, and
Riepe hopes the enrollment
rises next year.
A professional Nanny is a
highly trained specialist who
provides childcare in the home
of the child or children up to
12 hours a day, five consecutive days a week, says
Riepe.
She says at the heart of a
Nanny's training is learning to
piovide a nurturing and supportive atmosphere that provides the physical, emotional,
intellectual, and social well being of the children.
Besides the care of children,

Nannies may also be responsible
for
child-related
housekeeping -- including
children's laundry, cleaning
the children's bedrooms -- and
planning, shopping, and
preparing nutritious meals and
snacks.
Riepe says that while ''some
families request a young Nanny because of their high energy
children,'' not all job offers
are for young women. Many
requests are made for the
''mature'' woman, ''making
this an ideal job for the
displaced homemaker,'' she
says.
"Most families requesting
Nannies are two-career
couples, or single parents with
excellent careers,'' says Riepe.
A student can receive acertificate from the Nanny Program after one year, an AS
degree after two years, or if
the student is willing to study
for three years, a dual degree
in Early Childhood Education
and the Nanny Program
allowing for more job options
and flexibility in the future,
Riepe says.

Basically, the act would
allow physicians to aid terminal patients in active, voluntary euthanasia. "Terminal"
is defined as "likely to die
within six months."
Humphry believes doctors
are best suited for the job
because of their knowledge of
drugs, and because many people have no close friends or
relatives to help them.
The group is initially attempting passage of the act in
California, and has just begun
a drive to collect the 375,000
signatures necessary to place
the act on the California ballot

The "Living Will" is a
document in which individuals
state their desire to reject life
support machines in the event
they become severly ill. Drawn
while the person is competent,
it remains in force even if the
patient becomes incompetent.
"Living Wills have been
legal in Oregon for about 10
years," says Peter Wotten,
local •contact for Oregon
Health Decisions, Inc. Last
year's legislation was an attempt to change minor wording in the law, he says, but it
did not pass.
The "Durable Power of Attorney'' allows a person to
permit someone who is not
their doctor to make medical
decisions for them in the event

of debilitating illness. This can
include decisions such as
removing a patient from lifesupport machinery, or the administration of certain painkilling drugs which could
reduce the life span.

Hall, 8th and Lincoln, on Friday, Feb 12.
Known for their eclectic, guitar-based rock and roll, the 77's deal out a variety
of modern tunes with a noticable U2 influence.
In the rock tradition, the quartet combines many sounds to produce a diverse,
yet unified music.
"You don't really think about the influences involved. Rock 'n roll is the sum
of a lot of different parts, and all of us have heard so many different kinds of
music form our childhood until the present that it's no problem if Elvis Presley
gets mixed up with the Smiths. It just makes for some interesting music,'' says
Mike Roe, the lead singer and guitarist of the 77's.
The diversity of the band is in its members. Drummer Aaron Smith, from
Durham, North Carolina, has studied both at Berkley, and privately with
renowned jazz drummer Alan Dawson. He has toured with many bands such as
Romeo Void, The Temptations, The Undisputed Truth, and Ray Charles.
Guitarist Mike Roe and bassist Jan Eric have both been influenced by the early
years of Top 40 radio during the '50s and '60s.
Roe performed in San Fransisco area bands, searching for "that 'old' sound,
or whatever it was that made me feel the way I used to feel when I heard this
music,'' he says, referring to the early top '40s hits.
During the same period, Eric was playing the nightclubs with re-creations of
old singles hits.
On the other end of the spectrum is Mark Tootle on keyboard and guitar, a
classically trained pianist with a degree in theory and composition.
The band formed when Roe, Eric, and Tootle were asked to perform some
already-booked high school shows. After the addition of the drummer, Smith,
the band gained a following among the college and alternative music set.
Their latest album, entitled The Seventy Sevens, is a dynamic, cleanly performed mixture of lyrics and music.
"The Lust, the Flesh, the Eyes, and the Pride of Life," "I Can't Get Over It,"
and "Do It for Love," are rock licks with lyrics that transcend the typical pop

music nonsense. Much like the songs of Elvis Costello, which hold a wide appeal
to audiences of all tastes, these songs off the 77's album offer some depth in addition to straight-ahead rock sound and contemorary hit qualities.
In contrast, the band came up with a lyrical, poetic song called "I Could
Laugh,'' that has the streetwise, grooving sound of Jim Corrol and his lyricbased rock music.
The 77's is an eclectic, high-energy band capable of producing good music
within the tradition of rock 'n roll.
The 77's will perform at the WOW Hall Friday. Feb. 12. Eugene band The
Flatland will open the show. Tickets are $6.00 and $5.00 with student I.D.

Center for the Performing Arts, the WOW Hall, 8th and
Lincoln, on Thursday, Feb. 11.
Famous for his melodies, which mix early Hasidic Niggun with a sharp contemporary influence, Rabbi
Carlebach has entertained audiences for over 30 years.

US and settled in New York City in 1939.
After recieving his rabbical ordination from Rabbi Issac
Hunter, he attended Columbia University where he studied
comparative religion, geology, and psychology.
Rabbi Carlebach rose to popularity as a musician in the
'60s, _when he l?erformed before thousands of alienated
young people and traditional Jews. In 1967 he founded
''The House of Love and Prayer,'' and in 1977 he started a
settlement in Israel at Modian in the Judean Hills.
The performance begins at 8:30 p.m., doors open at 8
p.m. Admission is $7 .00 in advance, and $8.00 the day of
