LCC celebrates Library Week

by Alice Wheeler

TORCH Associate Editor

TORCH Staff Writer

Full-time students at LCC will pay $22 more a term beginning
in Summer, 1988, after the Board of Education voted to increase
tuition at the April 13 meeting.
According to Jack Carter, vice president for Student Services,
the increase will generate about $300,000 in revenue next year
for the college.
The cost of a credit hour rises $2 an hour, from the current
$22 to $24. High School Completion and non-credit classes will
increase to $37 a class, up from $35. Senior citizens will pay $15
a class, an increase of $5 a class.
Board member Larry Perry asked how much of the $300,000
would come from the increased HSC and non-credit classes, and
senior rates. While not having the exact information with him,
Carter said it wasn't a large amount.
Perry suggested the college may be able to leave those rates
alone, since students in those programs are not available for
financial aid.
But board member Bill Manley said the community is being
asked to support an increased tax base, so it's not unfair for the
users of the college to pay more, also.
A $2 a credit hour increase benefits financial aid students
more than a $1 an hour would, according to Carter.

"Charge Up at the Library"
is this year's theme for National Library Week.
The
LCC
Learning
Rescource Center (library) and
Friends of the Library are
sponsoring activities during
the week of April 18-22.
''The library holds a wealth
of information and is central
to any college," says Amy
Derby, cataloging assistant in
the LCC Library. She adds
that Library Week celebrates
the freedom of information
and access of the library.
"It's important for students
to get to know what the library
has. This is everyone's
library!"
According to Derby, the
library is planning the ','Great
Book Giveaway." Derby says
that the library will have about
three tables of free books that
have been removed from its
collection. She also plans to
have a display of books which
have been banned in certain
areas of the U.S.
An open house is planned
for Wednesday, April 20,
from 2 to 4 p.m. Refreshments
will be served.

He said Pell Grants are the foundation for financial aid
awards, and are adjusted upward as tuition .increases. But the
adjustments are made in brackets of dollars and not dollar-bydollar.
A $2 tuition increase awards a financial aid student $60 more
in a Pell Grant. So a financial aid student paying $66 more in
tuition per year will actually pay $6 more out-of-pocket.
A tuition increase of $1 would not have resulted in an increase
of a Pell Grant award, so a financial aid student would have
paid the $33 increase in tuition out-of pocket.

"My recommendations have not changed (to
the budget subcommittee on instruction). I'm
unwilling to go back and cut someone who was
not part of my original recommendations."
But J acquee Belcher, vice president of Instruction, also told an April 13 All-Faculty
Conference audience that the Budget Subcommittee has made alterations from her original
proposals.
The college must reduce its budget by about
$1.5 million, with the Instructional Departments absorbing about $1 million of the cuts.
The Respiratory Care program will not be
put on inactive status, as Belcher first proposed, and will accept first-year students. She
originally proposed to suspend RC, but
specialists from Sacred Heart Hospital said that
75 percent of their therapists are graduates of
LCC's program.
Since suspending the RC program would
have saved $37,000 for the college, that amount
must now be cut somewhere else.
The Dental Hygiene Program will continue
to accept 21 new students in the fall, even
though over 1.2 in full-time equivalancy instructors will be cut. This reduction affects
three instructors.
Belcher's original proposal was to reduce to
14 the number of new students the program
would accept. But she said Sharon Hagan,
coordinator of the Dental Hygiene Program,

Promoting LCC or This little college went to market
commentary by Robert Ward

TORCH Associat~ Editor

Scene: Lane Community
College, Fall 1990.
Situation: Enrollment 8,200
FTE -- up 900 since 1885-86.
(my example)
Reason: Intense marketing
activities in the late 1980s -presenting the community
•with the benefits and opportunities provided at LCC.
Recognition: LCC's firstyear president J. Doe, who
replaced Richard Turner in July, 1989.
Fact or Jict ion?: While the
above may be part fantasy,
there is a good possibility the
college will see an upward
enrollment trend thanks to
LCC's realization that
marketing plays a major role
in attracting and keeping
students. And the person
responsible is Richard Turner.
I've been told by a few
sources that LCC's president
before Turner, Eldon Schafer,
did not believe in marketing
and promoting the college
commercially. And while
Schafer did preside in the
glory days of the late 70s,
there were warnings, and data,
that showed the college was in
a declining enrollment trend
because of the economy, and
other reasons.
When any business starts

losing customers, an advertising or promotional campaign
becomes a logical step to
thwart a downward slide.

Leadership. From those who are appointed to safeguard the
quality of our educational interests, and those who are to chart
our educational fates, we look for guidance, example, wisdom,
experience, respect. Their office demands it of them. We, the
student body and the faculty, demand it of them.
We met with our leaders on Tuesday, April 5th, for the LCC
Budget Subcommittee on Instruction hearing at the Board
Room. Our leaders will be making decisions which may very well
lead to the removal of some of our instructors, some of our
courses, some of us. Sufficient numbers of us, (the student
boc!y, the faculty, the media, the interested public) found these
proposals sufficiently important to attend a meeting which
opened with "standing room only" .
Although most of us were seated, some of us shared seats,
some of us sat on tables, some of us sat on carpeted steps, some
of us stood up. We waited our turn to be heard.
Under the present budget proposals, the Auto-Diesel program
stands to lose half of its faculty. Some 35 minutes past the
scheduled end of the meeting, the spokesperson for the AutoDiesel program prepared to read a petition addressed to LCC
President Turner, as well as to express other sentiments.
At this juncture the president left, one other subcommittee
member had already departed, and a break was proposed. It can
be appreciated how uncomfortable those big chairs must have
become for the subcommittee members, and how parched their
throats must have become after three solid hours of meeting. It
may not have been appreciated, however, that the audience had
endured this meeting, too, and that several of the Auto-Diesel
students considered the meeting to be of such pivotal consequence that they were missing a class taught by one of the instructors whose termination had been proposed.
In deference to the latter, the Auto-Diesel spokesperson was
given the floor. The president was not present for the fourparagraph petition addressed to him. One of the remaining subcommittee members took a break and returned. During the
reading of the petition, the attention of the chairperson, Vice

To the Editor:
I hesitated to even write this

since it was such a disgrace, it

The college now has a
marketing council made up of
various members of the college
community to address the
issue of how and who to
target.
Everywhere on campus one
can hear the talk about
marketing. From Budget
Committee Meetings to Board
of Education meetings to AllFaculty conferences. Selling
LCC to the public is the
number one priority of the college. Let the community know
about the programs and services the college offers.
LCC needs all of its
employees to be part of the
marketing campaign. The time
has come to quit looking for a
scapegoat for all the college's
troubles, and to press forward
to retain what we have and
build for the future.
Too often it's easier to remain disgusted than to submit
to the facts. But regardless of
anyone's personal situation at
the school, it's time to be part
of the solution.
It is u,nfortunate the college
had to suffer budget woes to
recognize the importance of
marketing, but it's not too late
to begin.
But it's going to take
everyone connected with the
school to make it work. And
just maybe by 1990, the college will see its FTE increase.

NJCAA Strengthens Academic Standards
Members of the National Junior College Athletic
Association have voted to strengthen academic standards
for student-athletes.
At their annual meeting in Colorado Springs, the
members voted 37-14 in favor of semester-based eligibility
standards. In doing so, they reversed a controversial 1986
vote that required only annual reviews of athletes'
academic progress.
The association will now require athletes to pass a
minimum of 12 credit hours with at least a 1. 75 grade point
average to be eligible to compete in intercollegiate
athletics. The new rules further require second-semester
students to pass 24 credit hours with a minimum 2.0 GPA
to be eligible to compete in their second year.
For decades before 1986, junior and community college
athletes were required to achieve minimum academic requirements each semester in order to remain eligible for intercollegiate athletics.
But in 1986, the requirements were softened. The rule
change enabled NJCAA athletes to play in their first year
of competition simply by enrolling in 12 credit hours each
semester. To participate in second-year athletics, students
were required to have passed 24 credit hours with a 1. 75
GPA.
Critics said the 1986 switch to annual eligibility reviews
had given athletes a "free" semester, in which they could
participate without meeting any specific grade requirements.
After that vote, members of the American Association
of Community and Junior Colleges criticized the NJCAA
for not including junior and community college presidents
in their decision-making.
The NJCAA is the governing body for athletics at twoyear colleges except in California. Under its rules,
members vote on eligibility matters every two years.
Education Monies Should Increase
Spending on education could increase by as much as
$1.2 billion next year under a blueprint approved last
month by the Senate Budget Committee.
The spending blueprint contains enough money to increase spending on all education programs to keep pace
with the projected rate of inflation. It also would allow for
greater spending on programs that aid the lowest-income
students.
The House last month approved a budget resolution
that would allow for spending on programs supported by
the Education Department to rise by about $1.4 billion.
Members of the House and Senate Budget Committees are
to meet later this month to work out differences in the
budget plans.
The final blueprint will set general guidelines for spending in fiscal 1989, which begins October 1. None of the
figures will be binding. The Congressional appropriations
committees will set specific spending levels later on.

'War is an extremely wasteful,
not a very romantic thing.
by Julie Crist

TORCH Editor

Joe Kremers began his career as a weapons
officer for the US Air Force. He is now a
citizen diplomat to the Soviet Union.
Born in Portland in 1940, Kremers, a fulltime LCC political science instructor, grew
up working in his parents' "mom and pop
grocery.'' He attended Roman Catholic
schools through college. An ROTC student
at the University of Portland, he graduated
with a bachelor's in philosophy.
Kremers was commissioned the day he
graduated and spent four years as a weapons
officer for the Tactical Air Command,
assuring that aircraft weapons systems were
operating properly. He was stationed in the
sout~1ern US, Thailand, the Philippines, and
Vietnam in 1964-65.
"I learned a lot of things. I learned that
the military is incredibly wasteful, and that
while we always need a military, the important principle must always be that the
military is always second to the security of
the nation.
''The American people have become very
reluctant to listen to militaristic solutions to
complex problems. I think the reluctance
Americans express toward involvement in
Nicaragua is probably an example of the
lessons we've learned. War is an extremely
wasteful, not a very romantic thing. There's
a lot of death, and a lot of widows, and a lot
of blood and a lot of wasted lives. That war
has certainly scarred our country's psyche,
and we're still paying the price for it."
Kremers feels that the war and his family
contributed to his decision to become a
political scientist.
"There's an awful lot of importance tied
up in political decisions. My father was a
very political guy, although he wasn't active
in it in any sense other than mentally. Some
of my earliest memories about that were of
my father telling me in 1952 in the (summer
evenings) to listen to the radio - he wanted
me to come and sit on the ice cream freezer and listen to Adlai Stevenson talk, because
this was a good man, an intelligent man, and
someone should listen to him.
"In the late fifties - early sixties John Kennedy was our cultural hero. He broke the
barrier to full political acceptance for
Catholics and he inspired my generation like
nobody has since. It made you proud to be a
Catholic, and you felt accepted for the first
time.
"I can still remember the emotional impact of listening to John Kennedy speak iri
1960 on the campus of the University of
Portland. I was vice-president of the student
body that year. It is hard to re-create for
people the kind of optimisim about politics
that John Kennedy projected.
"We saw (the military) as a way to make
the world better. Kennedy raised the status
of public service higher than it's ever been in
my life. Compared to today, its just
laughable. (Now) politics is just below used
car sales in people's minds. People wanted to
go be in politics."
Kremers studied political science at the U
of O after his service time. He earned his
master's degree in 1971, and then went on to
teach political science at the Oregon State
Penitentiary in an early release program called Project New Gate - a sixties rehabilitation
program.
'' I got out of the service and came to the U
of 0, and the anti-war thing was in full

bloom. I had a foot in both worlds. I rejected the war, but I did not reject the feeling
that we started out with. We went awry - we
made big mistakes."
In 1974 he came to LCC as a part-time instructor after a short time teaching at LinnBenton Community College.
Kremers' interest in the Soviets started
with his study of philosophy at Portland U.
"Studying Marxism and Leninism was
something we felt we had to do to in order to
protect ourselves against (the Soviet
Union)."
Russia's history fascinates Kremers, and
he feels that "since we're so visibly ignorant
of each other" it's important for Americans
to know more. His classes reflect that.
Last summer, Kremers took 25 students
from Oregon and Washington, including
some LCC track athletes, to the Soviet
Union, paid for by the Soviet government.
He is now preparing to welcome 25 soviet
students in exchange.
"Aside from really being destroyed by jet
lag, the first trip was exciting.
"It's hard to imagine that you are in the
Soviet Union. And then you get past the
customs and the rather fierce looking officials who don't say, 'Welcome to the
Soviet Union.' Being a political scientist, I
understand largely where that comes from.
They have a history of being invaded by outsiders. They have a lot of historic reasons to
prefer authoritarian structures. But it is still
chilling.
''Then you get to meet everyday people,
and there's this incredible sense of relaxation. They tell you immediately, 'We like
Americans.'
"Their idea of a good time is to sit around
and chat. It reminds you of this country
before TV. The pace is a lot slower there.''
As the secretary for the Eugene/Soviet
Sister City Project, Kremers hopes to visit
Eugene's sister city in central Siberia in
about a year.
Kremers plans in the future to take
travelers over to the Soviet Union to meet
the Soviets in their homes, rather than "just
look at monuments.
"I believe this is the right thing to do in
the right way at the right time in history, and
I'm really excited to be part of it."

LCC's

Andy

Holt defies

gravity.

April 9 four-way meet at Lane to coast
to an easy victory over the Titans,
Linn-Benton, and Mt.Hood.
Clackamas finished with 84 points to
56 for LCC, 38 for Linn-Benton, and
24 for Mt. Hood.
In the field events Lane represented
itself well, with Nick Anastassiades
winning the hammer and the discus
with throws of 182-6 and 154-5 respectively, and Andy Holt winning the pole
vault with a jump of 15-6. Teammate
Ben Benson took second at 15-0.
Lance Lehne scored a first in the
shot put with a heave of 47-1 to go with
his second place finish in the discus.
Dan Gorman took second in the hammer and third in the shot put.
In the running events for LCC, Mike
Bordenkircher was the only double
winner for the Titans with victories in
the 800 and 1,500 meter races. Angelo
Verna added a second place finish in
the 10,000 meter.
The Titans travel to Gresham April
16 for the Mt. Hood relays, and Head
Coach Kevin Meyers expects Lane to
do well. "We're just not a dual meet
or four-way meet team, we don't have
the depth, but we'll be all right at Mt.
Hood."

"To Russia,
With Lance"
by Patrick Bryan

TORCH Sports Editor

Lance Lehne was 13 years old
when Ronald Reagan was elected
President in 1980.
Like millions of other young
people Lehne listened to Reagan's
strident attacks on the Soviet
Union over the years, calling them
the "Evil Empire," accusing the
Russians of lying and cheating as a
way of life.
When Lehne was offered a
chance to visit the Soviet Union
last July as part of a group of
athletes fron the Northwest
Athletic Association of Community Colleges, (of which LCC is a
member) he decided to see for
himself what the U.S.S.R. and it's
people were like.
Smolensk, Russia, August 17,
1812. On what was not only his
birthday but also the anniversary
of the founding of his empire
,Napoleon, after two days of
savage fighting that cost each side
over 20,000 casualties was stunned
when he entered the city of
Smolensk and found it empty and
burning. It would not be the last
time Napoleon would encounter
- the Russian's "scorched earth"
policy.
"The weather was beautiful,
there were a lot of green trees and
it kind of reminded me of
Eugene," says Lehne. Lehne, who
throws the shot put and discus for
LCC's men's track squad, spent
two and one half weeks in Russia.
"The people seemed like they
didn't want to talk that much, but

they were friendly when they did
speak to us." The group visited
three Soviet cities on their journey,
Moscow, Leningrad, and Minsk.
Minsk, 1942. After being routed
by Hitler's shock troops the surviving Russian citizens are rounded
up lransported to Germany. All
10/d a/mos! 380,000 people were
packed like callle into freighl cars
and shipped west. Once in Germany !he women were consigned
to br01hels, while !he rest toiled 18
hours a day in the Nazi munition
factories.
The American athletes spent
most of their time in a sports camp
that Lehne likened to a summer
camp. "The Russian athletes were
a little older, between 18 and 25,"
Lehne stated. "Did you ever feel
like you were being followed?," I
asked, "No, never, we could go
wherever we wanted." While in
Minsk the Americans visited a
World War Two Memorial, where,
"All the bells rang every 10
seconds to commemorate the people who died there," says Lehne,
obviously moved. "You know one
out of four people in Minsk died at
the hands of the Nazis."
Moscow, September 14, 1812.
Napoleon enters the city to find it
in a firestorm. After the Russians
torched their capital they sabotaged all the fire fighting equipment.
An incredulous Napoleon could
only muuer, "what a people, what
a people."
"Everywhere we went we saw
billboards saying only one word in
both Russian and English, said
Lehne. "Peace."

Saints prey on Titans
by Patrick Bryan

TORCH Spo rts Editor

The women's track meet on April 9
at Lane was advertised as a four waymeet, but in reality it boiled down to
Lane vs. Mt. Hood.
The meet came down to the final
event, the 1600 meter relay. Titan
Head Coach Lyndell Wilken knew
before the meet even started that if that
was the case, Lane was in trouble. "I
thought we'd be tied going into the
relay, and we were. We had to be three
points ahead at that point because I
didn't think we were going to win the
relay.''
Wilken was right. Mt. Hood won the
last event going away, and ended up
beating Lane 76-74. Clackamas and
Linn-Benton rounded out the field
with 8 and 7 points respectively.
That doesn't mean Wilken wasn't
encouraged by some of the results.
"We had a lot of personal bests."
Some of the highlights for LCC included Sybil'McVey, who placed second in

the high jump at 4'4", fourth in the
long jump with a PR of 16' l ", and a
second in the triple jump with a leap of
31 '9".
Tracy Looney was another athlete
who set a personal best with a timeof
1:06.4 in the 400 intermediate hurdles.
Looney also placed second in the 100
meter hurdles with a time of 16.0.
In the field events Tanya Thompson
was a suprise winner in the discus with
a toss of 118' 10", while Michelle
Weissenfels took second in the javelin
with a heave of 135'8".
Tammy Courtney picked up a third
in the 400 meters to go with go with her
first-place finish in the long jump.
Tamara Anderson won the 200 meters
and grabbed a second in the 100 meters
to help set the stage for the climactic
relay race.
Next for the Titans is the Mt. Hood
relays Saturday, April 16, at Mt.
Hood. Wilkens says that ''this is a
good meet for us. We will be able to see
where we are at and where we are deficient."

Pitching
still key
by Patrick Bryan

TORCH Sports Editor

Before the season began
Head Baseball Coach Bob
Foster predicted that the
Titans would live and die with
their pitching.
So far this season, the team
has done a little of each.
A good example is a three
game stretch in the week of
April 4. The Titans travelled
to Gresham on the 9th and
swept the Mt. Hood Saints 8-2
and 3-1 to start league play at
2-0 (5-4 overall)
In the first contest, Randy
Pratt went the distance and
finished with a four-hitter.
Next, Pratt stymied Mt. Hood
on only two hits, while Mike
Parker knocked in two runs.
The defense also came to
play, commiting only one error in both games. ''If we play
like that, we should make the
playoffs,'' said Foster.
It's a good thing tiny Lassen
College, which crushed LCC
17-3 on April 10 at Lane,
won't be in the NWAACC
playoffs since it's in another
Foster tried to save
league.
his two mainstay pitchers for
league play -- Will Arthur (2-0,
2. 70 ERA) and Randy Pratt
(2-1, 2.31 ERA)-- and used his
"second team" instead.
Lane has already lost its
leading hitter, centerfielder
Greg Meyers, who blew his
knee out during practice.
Meyer, who was hitting .500
before the injury, will redshirt
this year. Other leading hitters
for Lane (through six games)
include Al Pratt, .455, Charly
Keady, .337, Chris Gubrud,
. 308, and Mike Parker at an
even .300.

The Titan's Tanya Thompson lets it fly.

If the tax base does not pass
in May, the college could be
looking at another round of
budget cuts for the 1989-90
school year. According to
Dick Hillier, vice president of
Administrative Services, current estimates show about a
$900,000 shortfall next year.
He emphasized that the figures

are constantly changing, but
could end up being anywhere
from $500,000 to $1.5 million.
While the college improved
its budget process this year by
starting in early Febuary, according to Belcher, the college
will start the 1989-90 budget
process in October, 1988.
of

The
marketing was addressed by
some staff members. The college is spending $90,000 on
marketing this year, and plans
to spend about $75,000 next
year.

President Belcher, was interrupted by someone from outside the meeting.
Yes, I suppose the first subcommittee member had an appointment to attend; yes, I
suppose the second subcommittee member was "dying"
of thirst; yes, I suppose that
the meeting should have concluded at the scheduled 5 p.m.
instead of after 6 p.m. But,
would not responsible toplevel leadership have provided
some opportunity, whether at
that time, or later, at which
their undivided attention
could be given to the concerns
of the Auto-Diesel students,
whose program stands to suffer the loss of three valued instructors?

L e t t e r s , from page 2 - - - - - - - . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - commenting because, as in
disciplining little children,
they think that it would fan
the flame for more attention
which might make it worse
next time.
Some have said, "Oh, let
them have their moment of
frolic; they don't do it very
often." Or, "It happens every
year on many campuses. Some
are worse than this."
I enjoy humor and satire
when it is done in good taste.
The April Fool's issue
definitely does not fit into that
category. It doesn't matter to
me if other campuses publish a
paper like it or worse; it
doesn't fit at LCC. It reminds
me of group of little children
who have just discovered
swear words and they try to be
cute by seeing· how crude they
can be. In reality, they only
reveal their own immaturity.

~

It is ironic that there was a
campus-wide effort earlier this
year to curtail wntmg on
restroom walls. Could it be
that letting such expression occur through the April Fool's
edition will provide the outlet
which restroom writers need?
The limits of humor and
freedom of expression are
elusive depending largely upon
the personal tastes of the audience. You certainly exceeded
those boundaries with that
issue. If you would have
published it as individuals and
distributed it via the normal

Taking such liberties is
damaging to the image of the

hard-earned trust.
I'm embarrassed to try to
justify why the college should
support such activity, especially in light of all the worthy
needs which are being
eliminated because of the lack
of resources. ls it reasonable
to subsidize an operation
which promotes such a public
display of vulgarity? That

TCITour of Oregon spins into town

Preem for Eugene

by Gary Alan Jones
fORC H Entertainment Lditor

Men in skin tight shorts, silky shirts, and
funny little hats. What does this image conjure up? No, they're not the Chippendale
dancers , they're the entrants to the TCI
Tour of Oregon bicycle race.
It is estimated that over 400 bicycle
racers appeared yesterday for four days of
racing in the TCI Tour. The tour is a result
of the combination of the Willamette Tour
and the Portland Mayor's Cup, both
previously independent of each other until
1988.
The four day race began Thursday April
14 with the Willamette time trial, a 3.5 mile
race and the Kill Hill Race which is a 54
mile road race.
The Coast Range road race starts at 11

a.m. Friday. This is a 110 mile criterium
for pro and amateur male racers, and a 62
mile race for women.
Saturday is the Eugene Mayor's Cup
Criterium which is a 30 mile race for men
and a 15 mile race for women. There are
several divisions in this race, and a citizen's
race will be held at 9 a. m. The pro ride will
begin at 11 a.m. for women racers and 1:30
p.m. for men.
Sunday the race action moves to
Portland for the Portland Mayor's Cup
Criterium.
Special Events
Dinner and dancing will take place Friday 7:30 p.m. in the Hilton Banquet and
Confernce Center with entertainment from
Rock with King Bop, and Saturday a Bike
Swap will be held at Skinner's Butte Park
at the Celeste Campbell Center.

What is from Portland, flies
through the air, and is more
graceful than a gazelle?
The Jefferson Dancers.

The Jefferson Dancers are
the performing arm of the nationally known dance department at Jefferson High School
in Portland. It is a multiethnic company of 21 dancers,
ages 14-22, with eight males
and 13 females.
The company performs extensively throughout the West
Coast and Western Canada
for community concerts and
school assemblies, culminating
each spring in two different
programs at the Hult Center
and at their home in
Portland's new Intermediate
Theatre.

• Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges will perform in a double bill
performance at the Hult Center Monday, April 18 at 8 p.m.
The show should be an inspiring performance on the outer
limits of the acoustical guitar as both performers are highly acclaimed, award-winning musicians.
• UO presents Sometimes A Cow, memories on a Wisconsin
dairy farm captured in life-size ceramic figures, April 18-22 in
Gallery 141 on campus. The gallery is open free to the public

• Jim Roberts' Mainstage Actors Cabaret is opening the
Broadway musical A Day In Hollywood/ A Night In the
Ukraine. '' A musical double feature which is more hilarious
than any presented in Hollywood's heyday." Hollywood is a
nostalgic spoof of Hollywood and the movies of the l 930's.
Ukraine is a Marx Brothers style comedy but updated and
transformed into a comic symbol of their time.
Performance dates are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:30 p.m.
April 15 through May 14. All performances will be at Seymour's
Greenery Restaurant, 996 Willamette St. Tickets are $8 in advance and $9 at the door. Call 683-4368 for more information.

Art/Marine Science' exhibit Tuesday, April 19. The show will

historical illustrations, natural history displays of marine life,
and contemporary scientific ilustrations using electron
micrography and video will complete the exhibit.
Admission is $1 for general public and $.50 for children under
12, and free for UO students. No admission will be charged on
Tuesdays.
