Instruction budget

Subcommittee hears proposals

by Robert Ward

TORCH Associate Editor

An overflow crowd of 75
people jammed the board
room on April 5 as Vice President for Instruction Jacquelyn
,Belcher presented her proposed eliminations and reductions
to the LCC Budget Subcommittee on Instruction.
The Dental Hygiene Program, Mechanics, and

Respiratory Care received the
biggest proposed reductions in
the Office of Instruction's effort to eliminate about $1
million from next year's
budget.
College-wide, LCC must
reduce programs and services
by about $1.5 million. But
most of the cuts will come
from the instructional departments.

April 4-7 was the first week that students

deli to fruition, says Kealoha.
"Safeway Stores donated the three deli

Banks addresses forum

by Robert Wolfe
for the TORCH

"I told the government I
freely admit being in possession of explosives and
unregistered firearms,'' says
Dennis Banks, Chippewa Indian and founder of the
American Indian Movement.
Banks recently pleaded guilty to the charges, ending a
13-year struggle with the U.S.
Justice Department. The
charges stem from a 1975 incident ouside of Portland where
Banks and other AIM
members resisted a 70-day
siege by the FBI and other law
enforcement agencies.
"I felt it best to end it and
get on with our lives,'' said
Banks to a near-capacity
crowd in Forum 308 on April
6. He says that his wife, and
co-defendants Kenny Loud
Hawk and Russ Redner, were
being impeded in their career
goals because of the pending
indictments. He plead guilty in
a deal that resulted in five
years of probation for himself
and the dismissal of all charges
against the others.

"Some might consider it
selling out; but I never sold
any rights of my people away
for anything," asserts Banks.

If you wouldn't peel a seal, don't pay someone else to do it
by Julie Crist

TORCH Editor

In a world of human suffering, violence, abuse, neglect
and misery, let me foolishly
bring up the subject of
animals.
Two stories in the Feb. 11
Register-Guard caught my attention. I hope very deeply
that they are glimpses of the
future.
In one of the stories,
rescuers used a helicopter to
lift two dogs from an icy
mountain ledge in Utah. They
weren't any special dogs, just
two dogs that needed a hand.
In the other, 10-year-old
Glenn Henderson and his
retriever, Merle, were playing
fetch on a frozen lake, when
Merle fell in. Glenn ran to help
the dog, but he also fell in with
Merle. Merle saved Glenn's
life by keeping the boy afloat
and nudging him towards solid
ice until rescued. Merle and
, Glenn are both fine.
I like to believe that from
then on, Glenn took special
care of Merle, never let him
run loose, always made sure he
had enough food, water, exercise and love, and they lived
pretty happily ever after.
But this is not usually the
case.
Most people will agree that
animals can be a great comfort, a joy to live with, or at
the very least, pleasant to look
at.
Why then, do we neglect,
abuse, and even torture these
creatures that add joy and

beauty to our sometimes bleak
and hateful world?

their cruel ignorance.

As a former animal control
officer, I have picked up the
broken, traumatized bodies of
"pets" after they have lost
battles with cars. I have looked into their eyes and given
them their last caress and ''the
shot" and watched them leave
this world in pain and terror.
When they suffered, I suffered; and as they died, so did

Cute, cuddly puppies grow up to be dogs and soft,
playful kittens grow up to be cats. Rather than take their
pets to the local animal shelter where they might be "put to
sleep,'' people turn them loose, convinced that someone
will take them in and provide them with a new home.
Such was the fate of Sarah, only she found no new
home. She was left to survive on her own. She resorted to
raiding garbage cans and ate pet food left outside. She was
chased, yelled at, and pelted with rocks.
Sarah grew thinner and more desperate as the days turned into weeks. She learned to trust no one.
Our (animal control) agency began to receive numerous
complaints, all giving the same description of a German
Shepherd running at large. Patrols were dispatched
regularly to locate and capture Sarah. She was sighted
many times but always eluded our officers. Sarah knew the
area well and would simply vanish. We gave her the
nickname ''Phantom.'' Although we knew she needed to
be caught, we also silenty applauded her tenacity and will
to be free.
One day she was chased into a vacant field and shot with
a tranquilizer gun, but again she managed to disappear,
elusive as the end of a rainbow.
Several weeks later, her skill and luck deserted her. I was
patrolling the area when I sighted her and started the pursuit. I radioed my position and asked for assistance. I continued to follow her, keeping ·in radio contact with our

Short cuts hurt
To the editor:
I have a sinking feeling that
Sustained Yield Forestry is no
longer being practiced. If the
Forest Service is under orders
to generate unreasonable
levels of income from the
Willamette and Umpqua National Forests, to take more
out of Oregon than it gives
back, then the Forest Service
has been subverted and is no
longer the public's watchdog
"in the middle." Sustained
Yield was made law to
guarantee timber jobs, local
school and service financing,
and the beauty of our forests
for future generations.
But there has been overcutting. A local timber company
just cut its own, last old
blamed
and
growth
"environmentalists." I hope
that mistake is not the model
for what is happening to the
public forests. We really have
to take the long view of old
growth timber. Over 2,000
years ago, the north shore of
Africa was an old growth
forest; the Etruscans and the
Romans thought it would
serve better ·as a fleet of war-

we tell them about veal
manufacturers that raise little
calves in the dark and feeding
them only liquids -- to become
nice, white veal steaks? Why
not?
Is the book Animal Liberation required reading for high
school students? Why not?
Ignorance is no longer seen
as bliss. The planet is getting
too crowded for the haves to
be able to look away from the
ships. Five hundred years ago,
Japanese loggers cut their last
old growth. Certain Northwest
companies are now profiting
from that mistake by repeating
it on their own private lands.
At the same time, they mill old
growth from public lands
down to ten inches by ten inches, call that "finished wood
products'' to get around the
law against export of logs that
Wayne Morse won, ship out
our jobs, logs and taxes, and,
once again, blame the environmentalists.
You might begin to wonder
if the spotted owl is guilty of
clearcutting trees. You might
think that backpackers are to
blame for overcutting. But the
timber companies blame environmental groups in order to
deflect the wrath of their own
employees and the public. I
have come to understand the
A WPPW's union strike
bumper sticker, which read:
''Timber Company X pollutes
air, water, and labor negotiations."
Instead of criticizing environmental lawyers, who are
fighting a last-ditch effort in
the public interest by the rules
see Cuts, page 3

have-nots, no matter how
many legs they have, or how
distasteful it is to see. We are
growing up and becoming a
responsible race.
There is a growing movement in this country and the
time is right. It is signified by
the growth of vegetarianism,
the success of over 100 companies producing cruelty-free
products, by the use of expensive equipment in the rescue of
two dogs, by petitions and
political representation opposing animal exploitation.
I hope the Register-Guard
stories were signs that we
humans are moving towards
reality. I hope that we are learning that when we give
children little "bunnies" or
puppies for Easter, that we
have made bargains with these
other living creatures: That we
will care for them in an unnatural world. That we are not
giving children a gift, but a
lesson in life and an entire set
of responsibilities.
The animal rights issue is a
personal one. It does not begin
in the laboratories, on
Japanese whaling ships, or in
the Antarctic.
You choose where it begins.
In your home. With your
children. Or on your dinner
table.

Higher Ed Delays Language Rule

The State Board of Higher Education in Febuary
delayed a decision on implementing a foreign-language
graduation requirement on state system campuses.
At the recommendation of staff, board members agreed
to delay implementation until:
• A new chancellor has had an opportunity to review the
proposal.
• Faculty members have had additional opportunity to
comment on the requirement.
• The State Board of Education can assess the economic
impact on public schools of state system admissions and
graduation requirements.
• The State Board of Higher Education receives
assurances from the governor's office that money will be
recommended to finance the requirement, expected to cost
$3 million during the 1989-91 biennium.
In its six-year strategic plan, adopted July 1986, the
board said it wants to require for graduation one year of
foreign-language education for freshmen entering in 1989
and two years for those entering in 1991: Subsequently, a
foreign language committee recommended a one-year
delay in implementation and suggested an admissions requirement as well.
In other action, the State Board of Higher Education
reaffirmed its decision to move to a semester system beginning in 1990.
Both State Boards met to discuss the two issues.
Curry CC Proposal Has Hearings
The State Board of Education held three public hearings
in Curry County recently to find out what county residents
think about a proposed community college service district
in their county.
Those who testified were asked to react to a feasibility
study conducted by the Office of Community Colleges on
the proposal.
The board in April will consider the feasibility study and
the testimony from the public hearings when it decides
whether to approve an election on the formation of a community college district.
If the board approves an election and the State
Emergency Board approves funding for a vote, it could be
held in November. If the voters approve the formation and
funding of the new district, it could begin as early as July,
1989.
The feasibility study showed there is a need for expanded community college services in Curry County. It indicated that the geographic isolation of Curry amplifies the
difficulty of its citizens to obtain postsecondary education
and a community college service district would increase the
availability of educational services.
A three-year serial levy not to exceed 22 cents per $1,000
assessed value would provide an adequate local share of
funding to meet the initial operational expenses of the
district, according to the study.
Oregon has three community college service districts:
Treaty Oak in Wasco County, Tillamook Bay in
Tillamook, and Oregon Coast in Lincoln County. These
districts are much like community colleges except they may
not purchase property and must contract with regular community colleges for certain educational services.

''This year we have the opportunity to make Peace Week
more educational, successful and fun than ever before," says
Mike Stewart, ASLCC Cultural Director.
LCC's Peace Week takes place May 16-20. Activities include:
speakers, music, dedication ceremonies to erect a peace pole,
and an art display in the LCC Library called ''Through the Eyes
of a Child,'' consisting of pictures of Soviet life taken by Soviet
children. There will also be a presentation by the Peace Scapes
Dancers.
Stewart says that this year's Peace Week is a culmination of
Peace Week and Earth Week. One day will be devoted to Earth
Day, but ecological issues will be discussed throughout the week.
"Obviously from the vast amount of issues and activities we
are covering, the ASLCC Cultural Forum is going to need the
help of those on campus who are concerned about these issues,
as well as the condition of the international political community
and the escalation of the arms race,'' says Stewart.
Stewart feels that this year's Peace Week will be even better
than in the past because he is coordinating Peace Week with
Associated Students of U of O and Student Campaign for Disarmament. Stewart has been attending meetings to plan activities
such as a joint Peace Week poster and a cooperative dance between U of O and LCC. The time and place will be announced.
'' I need people who are not only concerned but are willing to
attend weekly meetings on Wednesdays at 3 p.m. in Center
Building Room 480. At this time I simply don't have enough
committed individuals on the Cultural Committee,'' says
Stewart.
Anyone wishing to become involved can also reach Mike
Stewart in the ASLCC offices, Center Building, Room 479 or
call him at ext. 2335 during school hours.

dispatcher. Sarah was beginning to slow down.
The weeks of being on her own were taking
their toll. Her feet were raw and bleeding, and
her bones showed clearly beneath her coat.
I left my truck parked behind the
fairgrounds. Bringing a control stick with me (a
rubber covered metal pole with a plastic
covered wire loop on the end), I followed her
on foot. Sarah started across the bridge that
spans the canal behind the fairgrounds.
Another officer arrived on the bridge trapping her between us. She put her paws on the
bridge rail as if to jump, but her body again
betrayed her. She simply did not have the
strength to run anymore.
I gently placed the hoop over her head and
led her back to my truck where I transported
her to the shelter. I put her in a kennel - run
with food, water and a blanket.
I went back to work, but Sarah's eyes
haunted me. They were dull with the utter
defeat of both her body and her spirit. At the
end of my shift, I returned to her·run and let
myself in.
I sat down on the floor and began to talk to
her. She lay as far as she could get from me.
She was still shaking. The food I had left her
was untouched. As a stray with no identification, she had only seventy-two hours to live
before she was euthanised.
I continued visiting her kennel in my free
time. On the evening of Sarah's second day of
"incarceration," I saw a spark of recognition
in her eyes as I let myself in. I sat down on the ·
floor and began to talk to her, keeping my voice
low and soothing.
j

I approached her slowly while I continued
talking. As I scooted slowly toward her, I pulled the food dish with me. I never stopped talking to her. I knew that if I were to breech the
wall Sarah had built around her, I had to touch
her.

I took a piece of food in my hand and slowly
extended it within her reach. At first, she showed no reaction, although her eyes never left
mine. Then, ever so slowly and carefully, she
took the food.
I reached out and touched her lightly on the
nose, letting her get used to my scent. I offered
her more food, and she took it. Her shaking
had diminished. Sarah allowed me to softly
stroke her face and then her head. Finally, she
rested her head on my legs. Her need to trust
touched a need of my own and a bond was
formed.
I took Sarah home. We took her into our
family and our hearts. She was to remain with
us for only six months.
One day, a neighborhood child opened the
pen releasing Sarah. My neighbor accused her
of killing his goat, since he found her near the
· carcass. Though the stock - molest officer
determined the goat was killed by coyotes, my
neighbor insisted I have Sarah destroyed.
I took her back to the shelter and with a
heavy heart held her as she was euthanised.
Sarah was only granted an extra six months of
life but in that time she had regained her dignity
and trust.
When I could no longer provide for her safety, I took the responsibility for her death. It
was not easy. In the six years I worked for
animal control each time we euthanised an
animal we all lost a small part of ourselves.
Doing the right thing'' is not always the
easiest thing to do, nevertheless, it is still our
responsibility.
If you have a pet you can no longer care for,
take it to your local animal shelter. Go one step
further. If your pet is to be euthanised, go with
it, hold it, talk to it, and make its death as easy
as possible. If you don't think you can handle
this responsibility, perhaps you should reconsider a decision to own a pet.

"If you 're the only one on board who's workingforpay,
you 're the captain, so I was a 16 year old captain."
Soon after the convention was over, Jens en
moved to San Francisco and began working in the
Southern Pacific Hospital in health care and
clean-up.
"I couldn't get a better job in San Francisco at
that time, but I wanted to live in San Francisco."

y Julie Crist

"I wanted to design ships. I grew up on ships
and worked on ships in New York harbor."
As a child during WWII, LCC English Instructor Peter Jensen recalls, "I could look out the window of our apartment and I would see the convoys
forming up to go across the Atlantic to go to Britain."
At 16, Jensen landed a job/'as a captain for
wealthy people on yachts'' through a naval architect's office.
"I just went into their office and asked to look
at their bulletin board.''
"I got on this very expensive 43 foot yawl, and
this wealthy man sat back and said 'take me three
harbors down the coast, and I'm not going to do a
·thing.'
"If you're the only one on board who's working
for pay, you're the captain, so I was a 16 year old
· captain.''
He sailed along the south coast of Newfoundland with a doctor and his wife one summer.
The pay was $50 a week, and he says, "I saved
every penny of it for college.''
Jensen enrolled in one of three Naval Architecture programs in the country at the Univerisity of
Michigan at Ann Arbor, working on oil tankers in
the summer to pay for school.
But once in school, he learned something that
caused him to change his course.
"I was hoping I had inherited (my father's)
drafting skills, but I had not, so I had to change
my plans," says Jensen.
Jensen's mother taught sixth grade in New York
public schools for 43 years. His father was a
bridge designer.
In his fourth year in college, Jensen became interested in teaching. He had started writing poetry
and short stories about the sea at age 19, and was
an avid reader, so he found English attractive.
With the help of a scholarship, he worked his
way through New York University for a Master's
degree in English with a minor in philosophy. He

Once there, he became a member of the AFLCIO railway clerk's union, and once again became
involved in social issues.
''We were fighting the governor of California
over many issues, and that was Ronald Reagan.''
AU of O brochure brought Jensen to Eugene to
study folklore and film as literature. He eventually
worked into positions at White Bird Clinic, the City of Eugene, and as the foundation director for
McKenzie River Gathering, which funds progressive social change in Oregon.
In September 1986 he came to LCC as a parttime English Instructor.
Poetry remains an important part of Jensen's
life, and he says that in a way, it helps fill a place
that music once occupied.

Poet and activist Peter Jensen

immediately began teaching full-time at Cleveland
State University in 1965.
When he moved on to Northwestern University
in Evanston, Ill. to graduate studies in 1968,
Jensen became involved in the peace movement.
The Democratic Convention was in session at the
time.
He worked with the National Student Mobilization for Peace, which . organized students and
peace activists who were going to the convention,
and he says, "many of them got their heads
beaten.''
"That was a mess. I saw awful things. The press
getting beaten up by the cops, and all sorts of
things that I saw again later in the Viet Nam war
movement, but I saw it at its worst in Chicago."

For 10 years Jensen studied violin at Juliard
School of Music in New York.
''I got pretty good, but not good enough to continue after age 17. I practiced at least two hours a
day for about ten years."
His book, "When Waves Sprout Birds", is a 20
year collection of his poems. The subjects go from
Viet Nam to love, and many social topics in between. It is in the library and on sale in the
bookstore.
He has published 20 short stories, and several
research articles, that have appeared in Mother
Earth News, the Register-Guard and the Oregonian.
Jensen's wife, Susan Applegate, is an oil
painter, a florist, and a book illustrator. They
have a son, Daniel, age 9.
Even though he is currently substitute teaching
at LCC, Jensen says that he would like to teach
here full-time, and to devote some time to fund
raising for the Oregon Natural Resources Council,
because, as he says, "I've always been involved in
social politics."

Men to face league's top teams
by Patrick Bryan

TORCH Sports Editor

The LCC men's track squad
could discover Saturday how
they stack up when they take
on three of the strongest teams
in their league in a four-way
meet at Lane.
The Titans will play host to
Clackamas, Linn-Benton, and
Mt. Hood. Head Coach Kevin
Meyers expects Clackamas to
be the frontrunner this year.
"Clackamas is a little deeper
when it comes to dual or quad
meets," says Meyers, "but
we're looking forward to the
championship meet."
Meyers' 1988 squad is a interesting mixture of athletes.
Lance Lehne, who pulled

the (old) boys of summer

by Patrick Bryan
TORCH Sports Editor

I hear Floyd called yesterday. That can mean only two
things. Softball. Beer.
.
Floyd has been the coach of my city league softball team
for the last four years. We've been together now for six
years. Those first two years we were the whipping boys of
the league. Every week we got beaten like we stole
something.
During one of the practices that second year Floyd
showed up with a paper bag over his head. I knew right
then and there that we were going to be friends.
Our right fielder those days refused to wear shoes.
Thought he was fast as hell barefoot. And he probably was
too, on dry land. But on wet grass, in Spring, in Oregon,
the minute a ball was hit to him the first thing he would do
is fall down. Then he would get up and chase the damn
thing. Every hit to right was an adventure.
With Floyd at the helm we have improved steadily
through the years, last year we actually won our league.
And now it's time to do it again.
Softball, the great equalizer. Every year in our league
there is a new group of ''Flatbellies.'' You know the type.
Young, cocky, not yet beaten down a little bit by kids or
reality. They just love to whale the tar out of the old guys.
Luckily, softball doesn't keep score according to waist
size. If you can keep a group of weekend warriors together
over a few years and get to know each other and, most importantly, learn how to hit the damn thing, then by all
means bring on the sprouts.
That isn't to say that you can do it forever. Last year I
sprained my ankle right before a tournament. Floyd went
out and found this walking, talking, softball machine named Ray. About 6'4", 230 lb., Ray looked like a young
Mickey Mantle, blasting line drive triples and scooping
everything in sight over at first base.
I heard Ray was all ready to play for us this year, despite
the constant stream of death threats he was receiving, until
he woke up one morning and found the horse's head under
his sheets.
Well, I guess I can handle one more year.

Give a hand to
those without any
by Julie Crist

TORCH Editor

Between August and
December last year, Green Hill
Humane Society received
2,114 cats and 787 dogs from
the Springfield/Veneta area
alone. It was the lowest
number of animals Green Hill
has received in four years.
But only 156 cats and 63
dogs were adopted out.
With so many animals to
care for, Green Hill needs all
the help it can get.
LCC architecture instructor
Donald Micken is one community volunteer. He
challenged his architecture
students to help Green Hill
remodel and expand its
f ~cilities.
Green Hill Director Warr en
Cox wants to see the facility
move its focus from
euthanasia to education. So to
prepare for the project,
Micken studied the design of
long-term animal care
facilities in the Netherlands
and California.
Students from three of
Micken's classes measured,
deliberated, and drew up plans
for the possible Green Hill expansion. Micken will work up
some final proposals and present them to the Green Hill
Board of Directors. The Board
must find the money for the
remodeling.
Help comes to Green Hill in
other forms. Approximately
19 veterinarians routinely
donate their time to Green Hill
spaying, neutering,
euthanising, and providing
medical treatment for the
animals.
And members of the community helped Green Hill during the first telemarketing
in
ending
campaign,
December, by contributing
$15,000.

But according to the society
newsletter, there are still plenty of opportunities for anyone
to help.

Volunteers
Green Hill needs people to
volunteer for:
• Care Teams
• Animal Care Center
• Special Projects
• Clerical Work
• Cox would like volunteers
who could donate time to pet
therapy -- taking an animal to
health care facilities.
• He also needs a person to
distribute and tend donation
boxes to area retailers once a
month.

The society also has a list of
projects that need to be done
around the facility.
Wish List
The following is a partial list
of items Green Hill needs in
order to free up funds for the
direct care of the animals:
• grooming equipment
• hand and garden tools
• file cabinets
• copy machines
• cleaning supplies (mops,
brooms, dust pans, etc.)
• kitty litter
• paint for the building
• refrigerator
• weedeater
• slide projector
Matching Gifts

I'm innocent, I swear! I don't belong here with these animals!

Is your cat a floOsie?
Do you "let the cat out"'? Does she occasionally get overly affectionate and roll
about seductively? Does she hang-out with an undesirable lot of feisty
aggressive Toms who yowl and hiss and fight through the wee hours? Docs she
disappear for long periods and come back with a suspicious smirk on her face?
Is she spayed?
Yes? Yes? Yes? Yes? And No?

photo by Michael Primrose

I'll bet you didn't know ferrets used to guard the pharaohs in
ancient Egypt .

Then you are the owner of a feline floosie. A dubious distinction indeed, for
her. And for you.
Why? Because cats breed like rabbits. That's why. An uncontrolled mating pair
will beget twelve cats in a yea1; which will beget sixty-six cats in two years,
thus begetting three hundred-eighty-two cats in three years, thence two thousand cats in four years, seventy three thousand in seven years, and thereby
begetting - gasp - eighty million cats in only ten years.
Result? Inevitable suffering for millions of our friendly, fluffy, friends.
Homelessness. Starvation. Disease. And death from cars, larger animals,
pranksters, and more.
You can help stop these generations of suffering. Have your female spayed.
Your male neutered. Don't allow litters.

take a little here, a little there.
(LCC) is looking at the vision
and the mission of the college.
We need to leave a solid foundation while (absorbing) a $1
million cut.''
The proposed reductions in
Health Occupations total
$116,449.
Dental Hygiene
Under Belcher's proposal,
the Dental Hygiene Program
would accept only 14 new
students next year, instead of
the usual 21. The proposal
therefore reduces the faculty
by 1.25 full-time employees
(FTE) and will affect three instructors in the program.
Belcher based her recommendations on data supplied
by the state Educational Coordinating Commission and the
State Employment Service.
She cited occupational
forecast data and a "negative
labor market" that predicted a
declining need for dental
hygienists as reasons for
reductions in these areas.
But, according to Sharon
Hagan, coordinator of the
Dental Hygiene Program,
''The college is trying to make
the best decisions -- using 1985
information.''
She has been in contact with
27 dentists in Eugene who are
looking for dental hygienists.
She claimed there are three
employment opportunities for
each student in the program
and that more than 50 openings for qualified dental
hygienists are posted outside
her door~
Most LCC Dental Hygiene
graduates work in Lane or
Linn Counties, stated Hagan.
Students currently pay $2,400
tuition for the first year and
about $2,200 for the second
year of the program.
Second-year student Denise
Duclos said she would be willing to pay higher tuition to
maintain the current level of
instruction. She also suggested
raising the current $9 teethcleaning fee which the college
charges people who come to
the LCC facility for cleaning
by students.
Hagan pointed out that
although Dental Hygiene is
technically a two-year program, most students take a

year or two of prepatory
classes in areas such as
psychology, writing, and
speech, among others. This, in
turn, generates reimbursible
state funds for the college.
Keith Stenshoel, president
of the State Board of Dental
Examiners, responded to a request from faculty to attend
the hearing. He said ''There is
a real shortage of dental
hygienists, and it's going to get
worse."
LCC students have a 100
percent pass-rate when taking
the state board exams for dental hygiene, he said.
Respiratory Care
There is also a local and national shortage of respiratory
care therapists, according to
Gary Russel, director of
respiratory care at Sacred
Heart hospital.
Assistant Director ~athee
Kunke stated that LCC and
Sacred Heart have a close relationship. She said that 41
respirtory care therapists (7 5
percent) at the hospital are
LCC graduates.
Sacred Heart currently
employs nine second-year
LCC respiratory students,
who worked 740 hours in
March alone. "Without
(LCC) students we would be in
dire straights," she said.
But Belcher said besides experiencing declining enrollment, LCC's program is a
"stand alone," which means
the courses taught in the program are limited to RC
students, and therefore are not
cost-effective.
Kunke says the reason for
declining enrollment is a low
level of college publicity that
would make potential students
aware of the career field and
the LCC program.

Mechanics

Proposed reductions in the
Mechanics Department include the layoff of three
automotive instructors.
Belcher said the impact of
these layoffs will be minimized
through increased instructional efficiency in the affected program.
But several students testified
that one of the those instructors is proficient in new
control"
"computer
technology and, without him,
they will not receive the instruction needed to keep up in
this vocational area.
To increase revenues, one
student suggested that besides
billing customers for parts, the
Automotive Department could
charge customers for labor, as
well. Currently, labor is free to
people who bring autos to
LCC which need the type of
repair work that can be used in
training student mechanics.
Hearing Process
Although the college conducts budget subcommittee
hearings every year, there were
complaints last year from staff
and students that the college
did not seek out adequate staff
response before making $2.1
million in budget reductions.
Belcher said this year the Instructional Cabinet developed
a series of steps to decide what
to reduce or eliminate.
"I think the process is better
this year,'' she said. ''The
turn-around time is much better. We've been able to look at
(Office of) Instruction with integrity. (But) a lot of programs
need a shot in the arm -- more
attention."
What programs and positions would be saved if the
May 17 tax levy passes has not
been discussed, she said.

Already recognized as the best of its kind in the country,
LCC's Dislocated Worker Program (DWP) has gone one step
further to establish itself as a national model.
DWP staff members hope to hear this month if LCC will be
awarded a $310,000 Department of Education grant to establish
-- on the LCC campus -- a model Dislocated Worker Program
for the United States.
1987 Recognition
DWP's primary goal is providing re-employment and/ or retraining opportunities for laid-off residents of Lane County.
Because it is federally funded through the Job Training Partnership, DWP is able to offer many services to eligible applicants at
·no charge.
Located on the south side of campus in the Apprenticeship
Annex, DWP is staffed by 22 employees. Last year the program
served · over 600 people, according to Customized Training
Specialist Jessica Overturf.
And it also gained national recognition for excellence when it

Where the budget axe fell
by Denise Abrams

TORCH Staff Writer

The LCC Budget Committee
meetings this week will determine
where to cut nearly $1.5 million from
the 1988-89 operations. Here is a
review of the $2.1 million cut already
sustained in this year's budget.
This year's general operating budget
-- $30. 7 million budget -- pared away
43 positions from management, faculty, and classified personnel.
Besides outright layoffs, according
to Director of Personnel Services
Susan Colvin, the school also reduced
contracts for some LCC employees.
Although they are still employed,
these workers do not receive their
previous full pay, hours, or benefits.
Two of LCC's support services,
Word Processing and Media Productions, were totally dissolved -- and
many of the employees in these units
lost their jobs.
The question is how many positions
were eliminated, and how many people were laid off?

Colvin says the college cut seven
management positions, although it
''laid ofr' only five managers: Two
managers were transferred to other
areas of the campus.
LCC cut seven full-time faculty
positions, and reduced one faculty
employee's contract.
Classified employees were the
hardest hit. Colvin says the college
severed completely a total of 27 positions and reduced seven others -however, it laid off only 12 people in
the process. Of the 34 positions that
were eliminated or reduced, 12 were
"empty positions" -- unfilled at the
time of the budget cuts -- and the college chose not to hire new employees
for the jobs. Ten employees were
transferred to other areas of the college.
The administration had considered
laying off an additional six classified
employees, but was able to save those
positions by reallocating funds.
What was the college's obligation to
those who were retrenched?
Colvin says managers do not have

'recall rights' - the right to be considered for an LCC job vacancy
should one develop.
But faculty and classified employees
have such rights. Therefore, Colvin
says, those faculty and classified
employees who lost their jobs, or who
are now working on a reduced contract, are on a "recall list."
The contracts specify that classified
employees have 12 months for recall,
and faculty members have two years.
''The college contacts qualified
employees on 'recall' each time an opportunity is available at LCC,'' says
Colvin. She says in some cases, when
the college recalled former employees,
some turned down the college's rehire
offers.
In other cases, the LCC Dislocated
Worker Program assisted the retrenched employees through job counseling, and job searching. Colvin also
says the college arranged for representatives from the Oregon State Employment Division to meet with the newlyterminated LCC workers, providing
guidance and information.

The day Sting landed
by Patrick Bryan

Jammin' with The Hunger

by Gary Alan Jones
TORCH Entertainment Editor

TORCH Sports Editor

Bruce, Prince, Bono. Certain elite rock stars need only
one name to be identified. Tuesday night at the Portland
Coliseum, Sting proved without a doubt that he belongs to
that select group.
Playing before a rapt audience of almost 11,000, Sting,
the former leader of the Police, led his eight-piece band
through almost every style of music imaginable: pop, reggae, jazz, latin. Sting and company moved effortlessly
from one to the next.
As talented and popular as Sting is, the people in the
band made the show truly outstanding. Branford Marsalis'
reed work, Dolette McDonald's vocals, and Kenny
Kirkland's keyboards were the epitome of cool.
Frequently, Marsalis and McDonald vied with Sting for
the spotlight. The star used them both well as foils -whether slow-dancing with McDonald during "They
Dance Alone,'' or playfully bothering Marsalis during one
of his amazing solos. Sting showed the meaning of consumate showmanship.
Sting played several tunes made famous by the Police.
"Too Much Information " became part of the opening
song "The Lazarus Heart." "Murder by Numbers" was
introduced by a hilarious monologue about how Sting was
watching TV one night when Jimmy Swaggert appeared,
ranting and raving about this song written by Satan and
performed by a group called the Police.
Called back for more after over two hours, the band ran
through "Home on the Range" (yes that one), before driving the crowd wild with sonic versions of "Fortress
Around Your Heart," and a show-stopping, no-holds barred "Don't Stand So Close To Me."
The show finally ended with beautiful acoustic versions
of "Secret Wedding," and the old Police favorite,
''Message in a Bottle.''

The Hunger, one of the area's hottest up and
comimg bands -- a group composed of former
LCC students -- will play at LCC April 20.
Lead singer Mike Davis claims "It's going to
be the first big summer bash."
And it should be an entertaining show, according to Davis. "Our stage prescence is it. . .it's
everything. The more people we play for, the
better we play.''
The Hunger plays a mixture of rhythm and
blues, pop, and heavy metal. "We don't sound
like anybody,'' says Davis. '' The Hunger

Some of the songs they wrote at the Coast include the titles, "I Know What You Want," "I
Let Guitars Do My Talkin'," "I'll Be There

"This is the ticket to the big time," Davis
stated. The band will be releasing its first album
in a couple months and figures to be the
"hottest" band in the area by mid-summer.
The Hunger can be seen playing at J. Cole's

The Hunger.
Cagle played in the band Wild Society, which
was on KZEL's Oregon Homegrown album.
Peterson and Mancuso played in the band
Mondavi until Davis formed The Hunger.
Davis states, "Things are looking really good
for the band. We've been opening for a lot of
bands, and we've been asked to be the featured
band -- but we don't have enough original
songs yet."
However, Davis hopes to remedy that. "I
just spent three days over at the coast with
Brian and Jeff, turning out some great new
songs... everything just clicked!"

sounds like The Hunger. Everything we play is
catchy, and you can dance to all of it."
At one time or another the band members
have taken LCC courses, including music
courses. The band is comprised of Davis; Ron
McChesney, drums; Brian Peterson, lead
guitar; Jeff Cagle, rhythm guitar; and Joe
Mancuso, bass guitar.
The members of Hunger have diverse musical
backgrounds. Davis played with the Eugene
heavy metal band Repeat Offender, but decided
he wanted to be known for something other
than screeching out metal lyrics. He made a few
phone calls and did the footwork to organize

chorus. "
Largely electro-pop, the
album's advantage is that
when the music is weak, the
lyrics are not. Some of the
music you could dance to, but
it's not happy music, and who
wants to dance to the tune of
millions of tortured animals.
Vegetarian rockers like the
Smiths, Annie Lennox, Paul
McCartney, Chrissie Hynde
and Sting signal the death of
the vegetarian-hippie fad. According to PETA, we will see
more of these superstars putting more energy into the fight
for animal rights.
Jackie O'Byrne of the
Vegetarian Society states,
"Last year more than half-amillion people converted (to
vegetarianism), or cut down on
meat, and that is an incredible
number."
