"The written word passeth on the torch of wisdom"

LCC will play host to 25 Soviet track athletes and their
coaches beginning Monday, May 2, for the start of a two-week
visit to the Northwest.
The Soviet trip is the second half of an exchange that began
last year when a group of community college athletes from the
Northwest, including four from LCC, visited the Soviet Union.
Sponsors of the exchange are the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWACC) and the Soviet youth
organization Sputnik. Project director for the NWACC is Janet
Anderson, former athletic trainer at LCC.
The Soviet athletes will arrive in Eugene on Monday, May 2,
and come to LCC for the planting of a Sitka spruce tree at 4
p.m. southwest of the Forum Building by the south parking lot.
The athletes will meet their host families and refreshments will
be served.
Other events planned for the Soviets' visit include:
• Tuesday, May 3 -- Community fun run/walk and AllAmerican hot dog barbeque. This takes place at Alton Baker
Park at 6 p.m. and is a non-competitive event on either a two or
three mile course. Commemorative t-shirts are received with
payment of entry fees. This is also a chance to socialize with the
athletes.
• Thursday, May 5 -- Discover America Day. The Soviet
athletes will choose a business or special service agency that is of
special interest to them and will visit the organization to get a
first-hand view of life in the US.
• Sunday, May 8 -- The Soviets will visit the Winston Wildlife
Safari in Winston, OR. The athletes will participate in a
"Mother's Day run for the animals." At 9:30 a.m. there will be
a five-mile run; at 10:30 a.m. there will be an elephant run; and
at noon there will be an awards ceremony at Wildlife Safari
Village.
• Other scheduled events include a luncheon at the Downtown
Rotary Club on Tuesday, May 3, and a raft trip down the
McKenzie on Wednesday, May 4.
Soviets return visit
Last summer a group of 30 student-athletes from Oregon and
Washington journeyed to the Soviet Union in the spirit of sportsmanship and goodwill.
While the Americans and the Soviets competed in some track
and field events, it was strictly non-competetive.
Four students from LCC participated in the 1987 trip, along
with then-LCC athletic trainer Anderson and PE instructor Sue
Thompson.

LCC hosts Poetry Festival
The Oregon State Poetry Association will hold its annual Spring Poetry Festival at LCC on Saturday, April 30.
Workshops and critiques will be offered by LCC instructors
including Peter Jensen, Maxine Scates, Karen Locke, Joyce
Salisbury, Delta Sanderson and Sheila Juba, and local poets.

Student Ass.ociate deadline nears
by Bob Walter
TORCH Staff Writer

The Counseling Department
will be selecting several Student Service Associates in May
to complete a 20-member staff
for next year.
The 20 Associates act as
peer advisers for LCC students
who need help learning the
ropes at the school.
Among the criteria for the
Associate.positions are an interest in other people and a
commitment to the program
for a full year. Applications
should be filed at the counseling desk before May 2.
Once selected, Associates
receive training in communications skills and learn about the

resources available at LCC.
Then they may be assigned to
work in a number of Counseling Department areas -- in the
Career Information Center,
helping with registration and
student orientation, assisting
disabled students, filling in at
the counseling in-take desk, or
working on special projects.
While Associates pro.vide
support for other students,
many find the experience
helpful for themselves as well.
"It becomes like a family
for most of us," says Sheila
Bjelland, who is in her second
year with the program. "It's
helped several of us to stay in
school."
Associate Karen Rankin

agrees. "The program actually
becomes a support group for
us. It provides a place to feel
at home on campus."
Student Associates are paid
for their time, either through
Work Study grants, or
through other arrangements
with the college. They are expected to put in 8 to 10 hours
per week, including meeting
times. ·Initial training will take
place during a three-day session in June at Heceta
north of
Lighthouse,
Florence, followed by a weeklong session on campus before
registration for Fall Term.

administrator, at 2625 for further information.

Students get chance to nominat e best instructor

The nomination deadline
for LCC' s Outstanding
Teacher of the Year has been
extended to May 4, 1988, at 5

and the focus have changed.
In past years, one person
wrote a letter (nominating an
instructor) and 25 people signed it. This year the focus is on
classroom activities, and

students will provide the input. Only one signature is
allowed on each nomination
form.
"I've always been a proponent of student evaluations,''
says Jim Ellison, dean of Instructional Support. ''I think a
student sees a teacher for the
long haul . . . and they should

be in a position where they can
give us some valid information. The students know good
teaching, and they know bad
teaching, and they know a
popularity contest. So the
thrust of this is to give them an
opportunity to identify some
outstanding teachers for us.''
Ellison says this year the

award will be presented at the
graduation ceremonies instead
of at a Board of Education
meeting, so the receipient will
receive greater recognition.
'' A group of eight people,
including myself, are on the
selection committee,'' says
Ellison. As the applications
are reviewed, a point value will

be assigned to each catagory
on the nomination form so the
committee can agree on who
will be chosen. "So if there is a
tie we have some additional
options, such as visiting the instructor's class," says Ellison.
Nomination forms are
available at the Downtown
Center, Student Resource
Center, Instructional Departments, and the Office of the
Vice President for Instruction.

The college deserves a cost of living raise, too

TORCH Associate Editor

Tuesday, May 17, is a day
of reckoning for Lane Community College. Voters in
LCC's district have a chance
to give the college a "raise"
for the first time in eight years.
For fiscal years 1986-87 and
1987-88, the college has cut
about $3.6 million dollars
from its operating budget. The
cuts required eliminating approximately 100 positions at
the college, besides the
loss/reduction of many progr~ms and services.
Currently, homeowners pay
$1. 91 per $1, 0000 of assessed
value. That amount can be
raised by 6 percent a year, by
state law, automatically. But it
doesn't come close to meeting
the automatic increase of expenditures at the college each
year.
Measure 20-06 on the May
17 primary ballot is a chance
to give the college some
economic stability. The 6 percent automatic increase will
raise a homeowner's support
of LCC to $2.02 per $1,000. A
successful passage of the new
tax base would increase that
support by another 30 cents
per $1,000, to $2.32 per
$1,000, or about $18 for the
owner
of a $60,000
home.

-The college has not had an
increase in its tax base since
1980. And since about 43 percent of the college's revenue is
raised through property taxes,

Bennent Says Little Progress Made
Education Secretary William Bennent says that the
American education system has made little progress in the
five years since a searing report called "A Nation At Risk"
warned that the system was sinking below "a rising tide of
mediocrity."
He acknowledged that '' American education has made
some undeniable progress in the last few years .... We are
doing better than in 1983." But, says Bennent, "we are not
doing well enough fast enough. We are still at risk. The absolute level at which our improvements are taking place is
unacceptably low.''
Bennent decried the dropout rate, poor education of
those that do graduate from high school, the widely varying quality of school cirricula, the rarity of good schools
for disadvantaged and minority children, and the manner
of promoting teachers and principals ''that make excellence a matter of chance, not design.''
He cited a recent Gallup Poll that found a wide majority
of Americans favoring school reforms, but said "future
reforms face serious obstacles.''
The "Nation At Risk" report was prepared by the National Commission on Excellence in Education, a panel of
18 experts appointed by then-Secretary of Education T.H.
Bell in August 1981 to address "the widespread public
perception that something is seriously remiss in our educational system.
''The educational foundations of our society are
presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that
threatens our very future as a nation and a people.''
Supreme Court Reviews Civil Rights
The Supreme Court, signaling that a new conservative
majority may have taken control, announced this week
that it would reconsider whether an 1866 civil rights law
prohibits private racial discrimination.
In a highly unusual step, the court voted 5-4 to reopen a
major 1976 ruling that outlawed racist white academies.
Casting the key vote was Anthony ·Kennedy, the newest
justice, who joined the court in February.
At immediate issue is an interpretation of the 1866 Civil
Rights Act that gave blacks equal rights to whites in the
ability "to make and enforce contracts." In rulings in 1968
and 1976, the high court said that this meant that blacks
could sue whites for damages if whites refused to deal with
them.
The court heard arguments Feb. 29 in the case of Brenda Patterson, a black woman from North Carolina, who
charged that she had been harassed on her bank job and
told by her supervisor that blacks were "slower by nature"
than white workers.
She could not fall back on Title VII of the 1964 Civil
Rights Act, which bans discrimination in employment,
because she was not fired. And, Title VII suits are limited
to winnjng back pay, not additional damages because of
the discrimination.
Patterson contended that the 1866 law should be extended to allow her to sue her supervisor for ''racial harrasment.'' Instead of deciding that question, the high court
wants to focus on the question of whether or not the interpretation (of the 1866 law) adopted by the court in the 1976
case Runyon vs. Mccrary.
In the case, the court by a 7-2 majority said that it was
now ''well established'' that the 1866 law prohibited
private discrimination by whites against blacks. Therefore,
it held, white-run private schools that refused enrollment
of blacks were illegal under the law.

All classes are over now.
The afternoon sun pours
through the huge domed
skylights at each end of the

TORCH Staff Writer

in one small, brightly lit
room, surrounded by four
other flight technology
friends, Steve Hayden says
that even if he won·the Oregon
Lottery, his goals wold remain
the same.
He would pursue his dream
of buying some land, clearing
it for a private airport, and
he'd own his own Lear Jet. He
says he wouldn't "work."
As a flight technology student, he spends many hours
each week in the shop and the

His gray-green down jacket
with its dark pile collar is
reminiscent of the bomberstyle leather jackets worn by
aviators years ago. "I think
that's probably why I bought
it,'' he admits in his quiet
voice.
The room is warm from the
afternoon heat and fluorescent
lights. Soft bands of perspiration line Hayden's forehead.
He moves his hand to wipe
away the moisture, but makes
no move to take off the jacket.
On the wall behind him is a
20' x 12' airway map of the
continental United States with
its V.O.R. (Very High Frequency Omnidirectional

printed on it.

On the other three walls are
pictures of airplanes -- nothing
out of the ordinary in a
building dedicated to airplanes
and helicopter study -- but the
placement is so precise, so
meticulously even that order
becomes glaringly apparent.
Hayden says his ultimate
goal is to own a shop with
state-of-the-art engineering
equipment to use in developing some of his ideas, inventions, and innovations.
''This is something I plan on
doing anyway, but several
million dollars would make it
easier.'' His friends laugh -and agree. One by one they
slip out and head for home.
They've left their work stations immaculately clean, dust
and oil-free. Only the stain of
an old oil spill that has seeped
deep into the concrete robs the
floor of its highly polished

Chance to check your career choices
by Diana Feldman
TORCH Staff Writ! •·

What do you want to be when you grow up?
LCC's Counseling Department is offering a
series of informal career assessment sessions to
help students, staff and community members
explore new career directions.
College credit is optional, but up tp 2 credits
are available. The,classes are held on Tuesdays
from 2:30 - 4 p.m. and Wednesdays from 6 7:30 p.m. Interested persons may drop-in any
time during the term and attend one or all of
the sessions.
''The first thing that we do with a student or
anybody who comes to either our classes or
drop-in groups," says Jean Conklin, career information specialist, "is take them through a
series of self-assessment inventories." Through
the inventories students can pinpoint their interests, competencies and skills.
Conklin says that after a self-evaluation, the
next step is to match that information with
career ideas to help the individual determine
what careers fit with his or her interests, skills,

abilities, personality and desired income.
The student then learns about the requirements of various careers and occupations
relating to his or her interests, says Conklin.
A decision-making proceess follows the self
assessment and information gathering.
"Usually," says Conklin, "the individual will
develop more than one choice, and then they
will investigate each of those choices to find out
which one is more feasible for them.''
According to Conklin time plays a big part in
the individual's career choice. "Some people
don't have six years to get a Master's Degree.
They have to get out there and get to work in six
months, or three months, or a year, and that
will play a big part in the choice they make.''
Conklin says that because of budget cuts the
counseling staff i.s not able to serve the number
of people they once did on a one-to-one basis,
so as an alternative they have turned to group
counseling. Conklin says this program won't be
available this summer, but the Counseling
Department is planning to make it available
next Fall.

us know what is going on.

Editor's note: In this, the fifth of
the year's interviews with Board of
Education members, the TORCH
talks with Barbara Doster, who has
served over four years in the Zone l
position. She will turn over her duties
on July 1 to Chuck ivy, who won the
Zone 1 post in a three-way race in
March. Doster is the Postmaster of the
Mapleton Post Office. As with all
board members, she serves the community college district without pay.
The following is a condensed
transcript of her interview.

TORCH: What other issues
need improvement?
DOSTER: Well, collective
bargaining is driving me crazy.
Doesn't it ever get easier? Is it
always this way? I just wish
there was an easier approach
to it. I don't know what to do,
but I'd certainly like to work
on it.

TORCH Staff Writer

TORCH: In general, what
should LCC provide students?
DOSTER: If it doesn't do
another thing, (the college
should be sure students) leave
here with confidence and a
feeling of self-worth and know
they are in control of their
lives ....

TORCH: Does the board need
to take a stronger stand as

mediator between the faculty
(and classified employees) and
administration?
DOSTER: I don't know what
to tell you on that one . . . .
TORCH: But, from what you
experienced as a board this last
year -DOSTER: I don't know what
it is. I hate it. I wish for
something way easier, but I
suppose each side feels they
can't give everything.
TORCH: Another issue: What

is really out of our hands"
TORCH: So, that need for
drastic cuts combined with his
heavy-handed approach ...
DOSTER: He's not heavyhanded with me. So I don't see
that side of him. I just hear
what the others have to say.
I'm sure that everyone
wouldn't be saying that
without some truth to it.
Maybe he just isn't the
happy-go-lucky guy as lot of
presidents are. Maybe he's
more like me. If anybody says
something to me I hold a
grudge instead of just getting
mad and getting over with it.
But when someone comes to
the board and complains
about something, I don't take
it personally. I figure they
have to have someone to yell
at and I'll do my best to look

TORCH: What issues or concerns are you focusing on?

LCC is easily accessible for the
handicapped. I have a handicapped granddaughter.
This campus is much more
accessible than others I've
been to, but when you have to

TORCH: The issue of student
accessibilty to the board . . .
has been raised recently. How
are the other board members
as far as accessibility and the
ability to take criticism?
DOSTER: Some of them
can't, I'll tell you that. But
(criticism) doesn't bother me
in the least because if they
have a beef I'd rather they
came to board meetings. But
what a lot of people don't
realize is some of what people
come with is really out of our

would you like to see at that

campus offered more classes.
I've had people come and tell
me they're taking everything
LCC has to offer there.

$50 emergency loans:

improvements have been made
-- since last year -- to rectify
the problems of the budget

DOSTER: I don't know if
everyone involved feels any
more comfortable with the

feeling uneasy about is, I don't
know if the teachers still feel
well with the president or not.
I think he's really tried. I
think he tries so hard that he
just doesn't feel at home with
people, or something.
He came at a bad time. He
came at a time when we had to
make cuts and he's made out
to be the bad guy. He came at
the wrong time. We needed to
make cuts a long time ago.

we have to do things differently, I hope she's good enough
at her job that I can have confidence that we do have to do
things differently.
But I hope there is some
flexibility.
TORCH: You were defeated
in this past election. How do
you feel -- about your loss,
and the time you spent on the
board?
DOSTER: I wasn't suprised
with the results. Any time
there is unrest, this kind of
thing happens.
I enjoyed (my time on the
board). Once a volunteer,
you're always a volunteer -and now I'll probably
volunteer closer to home.
Overall, I have no hard feelings, whatsoever.

Electronics gets robotic arm
by Bob Walter

TORCH Staff Writer

With the recent addition of a sophisticated,
industrial-quality robotic arm, the LCC Electronics Department has the equipment to offer
a robotic~ program with broader scope than
that of any other school in the area, accordtng
to Bob Vogel. head of the department.
The robot. made by Intelledex Corp. in Corvallis, sells for $32,000. Originally designed for
a General Motors assembly plant, the arm was
returned to Intelledex when GM cut back on
production. Vogel negotiated with Intelledex to
sell it to LCC for $7,500, including a two-day
training package, a set of mechanical drawings
for the device, and an $800 "effector" -- the attachment which is fitted to the end of the arm
to perform a particular task.
Students in the Electronics Engineering Program will study the robot's design, and learn to
program it to perform intricate maneuvers.
They have been using two older robots to
learn programming for simple tasks. By contrast, the Intelledex robot is faster, capable of
much more complex movements, and can work
to tolerances of 111000th of an inch.
"It's like working with a thoroughbred instead of a plow horse," says Vogel. "We can
program this thing to pluck a single eyelash,
and it will be the exact one we want.''
The acquisition of this device is part of a
general expansion to train students in the field

of robotics. By Winter Term of 1989, Vogel
hopes to have a full program involving both the
Technical Drafting and the Mechanics Departments as well as Electronics.

Voter's Pa

John Millet - President

During the next school year decisions will be made which will profoundly affect the students of ASLCC. As the advocate for the student body the ASLCC
must be unwavering and free from conflict. The ability of student government to
effectively represent the students is a product of the philosphy of the officers you
elect.
While a student during fall and winter terms, I have served on several committees including: High School Advisory and the By-Laws Committees; after unsuccessful attempts by ASLCC officers, I have been successful in determining
the student body's right to have pre-enlistment counseling on campus; acted as
liaison between the Office of Financial Services and veterans, to allow them to
register for winter term in lieu of benefits owed them by the V.A.; acted as an advocate for the students and affected a change in fees and interest charged
students for tuition.
The main thrust of my platform is: 1) Find an on-campus home for the
childcare center and restructure its fees to make the service affordable to
s~udents, and also to guarantee the implementation of the referral system. 2)
Expand the commitment to the Disabled Student Services. 3) Support the
preservation of the Multi Cultural Center, and create minority student scholarships. Together our possibilities are unlimited!

KoLynn Dornan - Vice President

As Communication s Director, I designed a plan for the voter's pamphlet to be
distributed and published by the TORCH for greater publicity and to communicate more effectively with the students at LCC.
While an executive cabinet member, I have promoted better relations with our
own KLCC radio station on campus and want to do a feature story on ASLCC
and KLCC, the two main voices on campus. I have also worked as a liaison person between ASLCC and Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society on campus.
I have been active in promoting their membership drive and the publicity for the
club.
As senator during Fall and Winter terms, I worked on the Marketing Committee for better communication s between ASL CC and the administration. As a
Academic Council representative I worked for a clear student voice in all questionable transcript disputes. My future goals will be to implement affordable
childcare for all students, staff, and work on perfecting the registration system.
THE POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE ARE UNLIMITED!
VOTE: KOL YNN DORNAN - VICE PRESIDENT AND JOHN MILLET PRESIDENT!

. why he is 3 - 1 on the year with a 2. 70 ERA.
by Patrick Bryan

TORCH Sports Editor

This year's LCC baseball
team seems to live with the
motto '' sweep or be swept.''
The Titans, whose league
games are all doubleheaders,
lived up to that credo last
week, taking two games from
Linn-Benton Roadrunners
April 20 in Albany 3-1 and
4-3, and then turning around

and losing a couple to Mt.
Hood Saints, (whom Lane had
swept earlier in the year) 8-1
and 4-1, April 26 in Eugene.
Even though Lane lost both
games to Mt. Hood, it was
anything but routine. The
games featured a triple play by
LCC and the ejection of Titan
Assistant Coach Steve Wolf.
The triple play occured in
the first inning. The Saints had
already scored three runs and

had runners at first and second. The Mt. Hood batter hit
a soft liner to the shortstop,
who then fired the ball to second base for the second out,
and then over to first for the
triple play.
Wolf's ejection, his first
ever, occured after he
disagreed with the home plate
umpire over a call. After the
umpire had heard enough he
told Wolf to go to the dugout.
"That's how blind you are,"
replied Wolf, "we don't even
have dugouts!''
Pretty funny stuff, but at
least one person was not amused.
There
was
nothing
humorous about Head Coach
Bob_Foster's feelings after the
losses to Mt. Hood. "We
should win this league if we
play to our potential, but our
pitching is where we get hurt.
Plus we're striking out too
much and leaving people
stranded on base.'' Indeed,
the Titans left ten men on base
in the opener against
Mt. Hood.
Lane goes up against league
leader Clackamas April 30 at
LCC. Lane is now 4-4 in
league and 7-8 overall. Game
time is 1 p.m. for the
NWAACC doubleheader.

The TORCH

(Editor's note): The wailing and gnashing of teeth you hear is my editor
wanting to know what Bruce Springsteen has to do with sports. She has
me there. Although Springsteen is an avid Yankee's fan, he himself never
made it past sandlot.
It's not easy being a hardcore Bruce Springsteen fan these days.
After his "Born in the USA" album of 1984, Bruce went from being a
medium-sized star who could fill 12,000 seat halls to the biggest supernova in the rock and roll galaxy.
Last weekend, tickets went on sale for his concerts May 5th and 6th in
Tacoma. All the local radio stations were saying that tickets would go on
sale at 9 a.m. Saturday morning at G.I. Joe's and that nobody would be
able to camp overnight.
Great, I thought, no sleeping overnight on the frozen slab of concrete
in front of the store. That's what I get for believing everything I hear.
When we got to G.I. Joe's at about 7 a.m. we found nearly 100 people
with sleeping bags, beer, and boom boxes blasting out a continuous
stream of Springsteen music.
After prowling the parking lot looking for a radio person I could pistol
whip (I told you I was a hardcore fan), my friends and I decided to get in
line .
We realized that since the tickets went on sale all over Washington and
Oregon at the same moment, we would be lucky to end up in nosebleed
heaven if we got into the Tacoma Dome at all.
Maybe I should attempt to explain at this point how I became so involved with this guy. In 1978, a friend of mine dragged me to what was then
the Paramount theater in Portland. The hall, which is about the same size
as the Hult Center, wasn't even sold out. Bruce had been on the cover of
Time and Newsweek during the same week a few years before, and was
being hailed as the "new Dylan."
I was in a real "show me" mode. Who was this scraggly guy from New
Jersey, of all places? After the third song I was hooked. The guy had
generated more energy in the first ten minutes than most groups achieve
during their whole career.
I've seen him many times since that night and have never been disappointed.
But back to G.I. Joe's. About an hour before tickets were to start selling, a young guy who I had noticed was second or third in line was going
up and down the line. When he got to us he wanted to know if I'd be interested in buying a single ticket from the girl in front of him.
Faster than you could say hell, yes , I handed the fella $40, which was
$15 over the original price. During the next hour I paced up and down the
line, sure that this guy was going to disappear with my money.
To make a long story short (too late for that), I ended up with sixth-row
seats for opening night. The other people in line were, of course, thrilled
that I had done this, but the lady was going to buy the thing anyway, so
chill out!
I know it' s fashionable to knock Springsteen, he's gotten so big that
he's an easy target. Whether people misunderstood "Born in the USA" as
jingoistic claptrap, or didn't like the fact that he often wrote of the same
things -- cars, girls, and the death of the American Dream -- I defy
anybody to name an American rocker who has been at the peak of his
craft since 1975, when he released the epic "Born to Run."
Bob Dylan? Neil Young? Forget it. Both of their careers have seen
more ups and downs than, well, you can insert your own analogy here.
But for me, Springsteen live is as good as it gets.
In the words of the immortal bard Popeye: "It's all I can stands, and I
.can't stands no more!"

''I have never gotten over the fact that

they 're paying me and I get free time in the airplanes."
by Julie Crist

TORCH Editor

When Karen Bernheim takes off for work, she
may not come back down for a few hours.
Bernheim, 28, is an instructor in LCC's Flight
Tech program.
A Eugene native, Bermheim is an adventurer,
which is evident in the jobs she held as a teenager
-- trail-guiding for a summer at Sunriver and skiinstructing for four years at Willamette Pass.
A 1977 Pleasant Hill High School graduate, she
attended LCC and the U of O for one year each
before deciding to earn her private pilot's license.
But she also felt that college was a high priority.
"I wanted to get my four-year degree because I
knew that if I got my instructor rating, I wouldn't
want to go back to college.''
Though Bernheim originally planned to pursue
a degree in advertising, her college goal was "to
get a broad education." When she found the Journalism School's admissions requirements to be too
demanding, she switched to Telecommunications
and Film.
But Bernheim says an internship at KV AL
helped her decide that she didn't want to work in
telecommunications, either.
"I went out with the video camera guys on
stories," she says. She remembers one story in
particular. "We pull up, and there's this crazy
man who just shot his mother in this house, and
they're trying to get as close as they can get for
these pictures, and I'm going, 'No thanks.'
"I wanted a degree because I knew I was gonna
fly, and airlines don't care what your degree is in
-- it just has to be a four-year degree."
She earned her license in 1979 through LCC' s
Flight Technology Department, and finished her
bachelor's degree in 1982.
After college, Bernheim moved to Tahoe to
work at Kirkwood Ski Resort. "It was a nice
break after school -- no studying, the mountain
was a quarter of a mile away, and everybody had
passes.''
Bernheim returned to LCC to earn special aircraft ratings, a flight tech degree, and another
associate's in Aviation Aircraft Management.
After traveling in Australia for a month, she
began teaching at LCC.
Bernheim considered flying for the Air Force
Reserves, but there was a small problem. "I had
the physical, took the tests -- everything was
great." After all that, she says the doctor "just
looks at me and says 'You're too short.' (She's
5'2") They were the most disorganized group of

people I've ever dealt with."
In 1985, Bernheim became an LCC flight instructor.
"When you're starting out it's the worst
because you're flying around with people that

have never flown before, and you've got to watch
them all the time."
Though she hasn't had any major problems,
Bernheim laughs about the little things that can
make flight instructing interesting, like the time
when an oil cap came off in flight.
"You feel real dumb because it looks like
there's about 18 quarts of oil coming out, and it's
really only one quart, but it was smeared all over .
and the engine was smoking. We had to shut down
one of the engines and land.''
But she finds that the rewards of instructing far
outweigh the trials.
"It's neat to take someone from where you're
telling them about ailerons to where they're
teaching. I put a guy clear through from day one

MCC schedules activities

Mexican holiday comes to LCC

by Gary Alan Jones

TORCH Entertainment Editor

Cinco De Mayo translates
into English as Fifth of May -and for those who commemorate this Mexican anniversay it also translates into
much celebration and happiness.
Cinco De Mayo is to Mexicans what Fourth of July is to
Americans. A time to
celebrate independence and
commemorate a military victory.
On May 5, 1862, Napoleon
Ill's battle-hardened French
troops were resoundingly
defeated by a smaller, ragtag
Mexican army at Puebla, Mex-

ico. Since that victory, Cinco
De Mayo has been cause for
joyous celebration. Mexicans
remember the day not only
because their army was the
underdog, but also because it
was the last time foreign
troops invaded North
American soil.

Today, Cinco De Mayo is
observed in MexicanAmerican communities including Denver, Los Angeles,
San Antonio, San Diego, St.
Paul, Tucson, Portland, and
Grand Prarie, Texas.
LCC will be celebrating the
holiday, too. According to
Connie Mesquita, the center
students will decorate the

MCC with a special Mexican
motiff. Some special activites
include:
• The weekly International
Coffee Hour will feature Mexican fare.
• Mexican videos will be
shown at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
"Come and enjoy these
videos, but, they are in
Spanish and there are no
English sub-titles."

and he's up teaching in Aurora (Oregon) now.
"You pay so much money (to go through
school) and then all of a sudden you get your instructor's rating. I never have gotten over the fact
that they're paying me and I get free time in the
airplanes. Every so often I just go, 'Wow! I can't
believe you guys are paying me to do this!' "
She's especially glad to be teaching at LCC.
"I really like the people. We have really good
equipment, and it's well-maintained. I know (the
students) get real good ground training."
Bernheim flies four to five hours a day, and gets
, paid only for her time in the air. Like many of the
other instructors, she has a second job.
She
plays drums in a rock band.
"I get to see a whole different side of life," she
says, but adds that the cigarette smoke bothers
her.
Bernheim is buying a house on Dexter Lake,
and spends her "spare time" water skiing.
Fire season keeps her busy in the summers. This
summer she will fly fire patrol for the forest service and Weyerhauser.
Flight instructing is usually a step up to bigger
and better things, and Bernheim hopes to move up
to corporate or commuter flying. She says contacts are important in the industry, and "there's
not a lot of people to know here.''
"An airline job would be nice because you have
time off, and that time off is really important to
me.''
She feels that what she is doing is more important than the salary she is making.
"I'd rather be flying a Lear 55 and hardly making any money, than making a bunch of money
and not like the job. There are some people I
know that fly right seat in Lear jets, and they
don't make any money, but they fly right seat in
Lear jets and they're happy.
''The ultimate job would be to fly a jet for some
corporation that had a decent schedule, where you
could come home every night -- where you
wouldn't have to spend three days in Cleveland.''
Bernheim finds that the advantages and
drawbacks of being a woman in a non-traditional
field tend to balance out.
"Some people will need a woman, so they'll hire
one. But on the other hand, there are still people
who are prejudiced, so I think it evens out. Some
employers say they need women and minorities,
but there are a lot of people that still say, 'Well, I
don't want a girl flying my airplane.'
'' If they hire someone no matter what -- if
they're qualified -- that's the kind of job/ want."

TORCH Entertainment Editor

A traveling exhibit of
photographs taken by
Soviet children, ages
8-18, will be on display
beginning May 16 in the
LCC library and three
other sites througout

Eugene.
'' In these photos we
see the innocence of
youth" states Stephen
White, project coordinator for the exhibit.
White states the project
is to be a touring exhibit
for the next two years.

''The Earthstewards are
intimately involved in
citizen diplomacy with
countries who are traditionally thought to be
our enemies. The idea
behind citizen diplomacy
is to bring together the
similarities of each country, not the differences."

Downtown Center's final expansionto add 'flexibility'
by Craig Smith

TORCH Staff Writer

An internal remodeling project at LCC's Downtown
Center is expected to add
another 300 to 400 full-time
equivalent students to the college's three-story structure in
the heart of Eugene, according
to Larry Murray, dean of
Community Education and
Economic Development at
LCC.
It will be the final face-lift
on the building at 1059
Willamette St. which LCC
purchased from Montgomery
Ward in the mid-seventies.
The college has already completed two previous remodeling phases.
Murray is quick to note that
none of the money is coming
from the already strained LCC
operating budget. Rather, he
says, the state is providing
$390,000, and the college
district tax-payers are paying
the $220,000 balance from
part of the serial levy funds
they approved in March of
1987.
''The remodeling money is
separate and distinct from the
operating budget,'' explains
Murray. Neither the state
funds nor the serial levy
revenues may be used to pay
for instructi?nal programs.
More Space For
Expected Demand
Excessive student demand

for more classes and the continued growth of the Small
Business Development Center
(SBDC) over the last two years
necessitates the need for more
user space, maintains Murray.
"We neeed more room. We're
packed. And this will alleviate
some of the problems of
scheduling at night, too."
In addition to non-credit
business classes and the
SBDC, the Downtown Center
houses several offices and programs including: Adult Basic
Education courses; General
Equivalency Diploma program; English As A Foreign
Language program; and the
Government Procurement
Center.

With the completed
remodel, Murray foresees
"added flexibility," permitting more Downtown Center
daytime credit classes in health
occupations, electronics, and
business fields.

The college plans to fill-in
the three-story open area in
the center of the structure, and
build a second floor over what
is now an open expanse in the
front of the building. Specific
improvements for the
Downtown Center are:
• Six new classrooms to be
added in tbe basement.

• A technology center that
will be built in the rear of the
building for computer instruction.
• A ''multi-purpose'' community conference center to be
constructed primarily for use
by the SBDC.
Murray envisions an increase in community involvement because of the SBDC
conference room. "The reality
of this project, I think, is it
will make LCC more of a partner with the downtown
(business) community.''
The Downtown Center has
already established a

"partnership role with the city
of Eugene," says Murray,
since it split the expense of an
exterior awning for the
building on a 50/50 basis.
It's going to be great,"
Murray adds. "I wouldn't be
surprised to see 1,200 FTEs
coming out to this building.''
