Springing for spring
Tax base defeated
by Robert Ward
TORCH Associate Editor
By a little less than 5,000 votes, LCC's bid for a new tax base
went down to defeat on May 17.
The college was seeking to increase its tax base to $16.3
million, up $2.1 million from its current base.
But, according to Executive Dean Larry Warford, though the
measure lost, the campaign was beneficial. The college is
"gaining momentum," he said.
"We (LCC) got excellent support from the staff," says Warford, who is also an administrative liaison to the Advocates,
"and that's a very positive thing."
The LCC Advocates, a fundraising group of campus and
community volunteers, raised almost $10,000 for promoting the
passage of the proposed tax base increase. And according to Jeff
Moisan, ASLCC president and Advocates treasurer, "It was
five times more than what was raised for last spring's serial
levy."
•
The college made a $2.1 million budget cut for 1987-88, and
the Board of Education has already cut another $1.3 million for
1988-89.
_
LCC has been levying taxes at the same level since 1980. A
successful tax base increase would have cost property taxpayers
another 30 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, or $18 on a
$60,000 home.
''We have to capitalize on calamity,'' says George Alvergue,
LCC Education Association president and member of the Advocates, "and make the most out a bad situation." He said the
college may have lost the battle, but it hasn't lost the war.
Warford says the Advocates will meet soon to analyze the
election and see where (in the community) the college's support
is, and where it needs work.

DeFazio decries defense debt
by Robert Ward
TORCH Associate Editor
Rep. Peter DeFazio of
Oregon's Fourth Congressional District, said that most
of his colleagues in the House
don't know about the waste in
the defense budget, and they
don't want to know.
Speaking before a small
group of LCC students and
staff, DeFazio stated, "I could
cut $60 billion out of the
defense budget, and still improve our Armed Forces."
The May 16 theme for Peace
Week was US and Its Role of
Intervention. But the informal
discussion touched on other
defense and military related
issues.
DeFazio said that we now
have a $70 billion trade deficit
with Japan, and a $60 billion
trade deficit with West Germany. He stated that we are
paying for their defense, at the
expense of our economy.
The intent of the founders
of the US was to be
noninterventionist, said
Defazio. The separation of
powers outlined in the Constitution was to make sure that
the US would not end up with
a king as a ruler who could
send the country into a war
without the support of Congress.
But, said Defazio, in the
past 40 years, with the
building of the atomic bomb,
the president has attained the
"final ceding of power."
He said that in past wars,
before the atomic bomb, a
government always had a couple of weeks to prepare for an
invasion. But now it would
take as little as four or five
minutes to realize a nuclear
war.
The War Powers Act of
1973, passed because of President Nixon's unauthorized
bombings during the Vietnam
War, was an attempt to take
back some of the absolute
power the president was afforded.
But, according to DeFazio,
while the War Powers Act
limits a president to committing troops only in the event of
hostility, and after 90 days
must get approval from Congress to continue, the act does
not specify what hostilty is.
When Reagan deployed
troops to the Persian Gulf,
DeFazio tried to envoke the
War Powers Act. But the
representative couldn't get
enough of his colleagues in the

Graduation tickets liinited again
Tickets for this year's LCC Graduation ceremonies at the· Hult Center will be
distributed in the LCC Bookstore beginning May 31 and continuing through June 3, from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Graduation is Friday, June 3, at 7:30.
Although the Hult Center's Silva Concert Hall has a seating capacity exceeding 2,500,
during last year's ceremonies there was a shortage of seating for graduates' family
members and friends.
This year, each graduate is entitled to four tickets for family and friends. (Graduates do
not need tickets for themselves.)
Graduates may request up to four additional tickets when picking up their packets. But
acccording to Sally Meadow, administrative assistant in the Student Activities Office, the
college anticipates only 200 excess tickets for these requests, and these will be ''. . . .
distributed on a first-come, first-served basis."
Meadows says that graduates who do not plan to use all four tickets may return them to
the Bookstore's Cap and Gown desk for redistribution.

No matter what, Repub licans must leave White House
commentary by Robert Ward
TORCH Associate Editor
Oregon Results
208, 795
Dukakis
143,593
Jackson
189,239
Bush
Eight years of Reaganomics
are nearing an end. Or are
they?
Jesse Jackson is in touch
with the common people.
There has never been a candidate in the forefront of a
presidential election as compassionate as Jackson, or as
removed from mainstream
politics.
Mike Dukakis is acceptable,
but still fits the image of the
liberal prototype and the
Democratic party must move
away from the ''typical'' candidate.
It is a fact that a president
should be able to get along
with Congress. Jackson does
not have the "money-ties"
that elect senators and
representatives. He would
have a hard time pushing
through legislation that would
affect big companies that supported Congress.
Meanwhile, Dukakis has the
experience of state politics in
his role as Governor of
Massachusetts.
But in the words of Fourth
District Congressman Peter
Defazio, most people in Congress are way behind the people who elect them. And if we
had a president who wasn't
afraid to make some radical
proposals, it would inspire
more people to register and
vote, and not fear change.
The US can't have an interior secretary who hates
trees. The US can't have an attorney general who hates
justice. The US can't have an
education secretary who hates
students. The US can't have a
National Labor Relations
Board which hates workers.

Jesse Jackson talked about
freezing the defense budget for
five years, and increasing funding for education and
childcare. Mike Dukakis talked about the Boston Red Sox
and his cousin, Olympia.
The first thing Dukakis said .
when he stepped to the
microphone was "I didn't

people in Eugene." Good

hours), you stuck with it until
the end.
I passed my copy around to
those at the four-year college I
currently attend, and had my
classmates laughing so hard
there were tears in their eyes.
If Mr. Manley can't appreciate college humor, that's
OK. Remember that he also
"can't support the college providing birth control to promiscuous, college-aged, unmarried couples just so they
can have a good time,"
(TORCH, Sept. 17, 1986) and
don't feel like you folks are
the ones out of touch with
reality. If you are getting Mr.
Manley's goat, you are probably satisfying the majority
of your readers.
The TORCH
As for his statement that
"the excellent reputation of
the TORCH which has been
your
by
established
predecessors is such that this
one gross error (gross in both
content and extent) can be excused due to inexperience,'' I
have to assume he is refering
to the printing of his own letter. Yes, it is gross. But, Mr.
Manley must realize that the
TORCH is strong enough to
stand up to such abuse and
come out shining.
I'm proud of you, TORCHIES. Your paper keeps improving, your letters are amusjng, and over all, you are doing a terrific job.
Not only that - you managed to prod an old baffoon into
picking up his pen in response.
Stop the wars in Central
America! Feed the hungry!
House the homeless! Cut
defense spending! Increase
education spending! Universal
health care! Affordable
childcare!
I believe it is truly possible
to alter the sad road that
Reagan's foreign policy tank
has taken us down.
Jackson supporters aren't
afraid to show who their
choice is. There were plenty of
Jackson for President t-shirts
and buttons at Dukakis'
speech. I didn't see any
Dukakis t-shirts.
And though I believe
Dukakis wants the same things
as Jackson, he is viewed by the
progressive-left as another
neo-liberal to pacify us until
the next Republican comes
along. Whether he would fight
as hard as Jackson for what he
believes remains to be seen.
But by then, it may be too
late. Our world is becoming
polluted beyond control. It's
time to take action.
We need a president who
will follow the people and not
the special interests. Jesse will
press forward with truly
revolutionary ideas. My decision about the Duke is still on
hold.

Bassett to Assume New Post
Governor Neil Goldschmidt announced in March that
Oregon Community College Association Executive
Secretary Roger Bassett has been selected to fill the role of
Special Assistant for School Funding.
Bassett's responsibilities will involve developing the
strategy for the governor's school funding initiative. He
will be the liaison between the Governor's office and key
people whose support is important to achieve stability in
school funding.
In the News Digest put out by the OCCA, Bassett said it
is an exciting and risky assignment, but he is at his best
when the risks are highest.
"I am confident that we can be successful ... •. I believe
strongly in Governor Goldschmidt's education agenµa,"
he said.
Bassett has been Executive Secretary of OCCA since July, 1979. During his time with the organization he has
established the OCCA's current emphasis on policy and
program influence (with the legislature). He developed a
process by which all members of the association consider
issues, narrow those issues, and then prioritize them. As a
result, a strong, collective community college reputation in
Oregon legislative and executive branch circles has been
established.
Bassett said it has not been so much a personal accomplishment as an organizational accomplishment. He
said there is no four-person staff that has worked more
closely and with better focus than the OCCA staff.
Bennent to Step Down in September
Education Secretary William J. Bennent told President
Reagan last week he intends to resign in mid-September.
But the Secretary said he expected to continue working full
speed ahead during his remaining months on the job.
As one of his last major actions, Bennent intends to
publish a document, probably in August, that will advise
higher-education administrators, professors, trustees, and
parents on ways to improve colleges and universities.
Linus Wright, Under Secretary of Education, is expected to be named acting Secretary to replace Bennent. It
is unlikely anyone will be nominated to the post in the four
months left in the Reagan Administration.
The announcement of Bennent's planned departure did
not silence his critics on Capitol Hill. Sen. Lowell Weicker
(R-Conn.) accused the Secretary of criticizing every aspect
of the educational establishment while failing to tend to
federal programs he is charged with overseeing.
In the early years of his administration, Reagan sought
to abolish the Education Department -- established during
the Carter Administration -- but Congress refused to do
so. Bennet himself has said the Secretary of Education
position is not necessary.
Bennent, who became Education Secretary in 1985, told
reporters last month he was considering leaving his post
before the end of Reagan's term because he believed he
could not be effective after a new president was elected in
November.
House to agree that there was
hostility in the Gulf. DeFazio
said he thinks dead US sailors
and missing pilots constitute
the presence of hostility on someone's part.
"Most of the representatives (in the House) want to
ride the fence. If what Reagan
is doing (in the Gulf) turns out
to be right, they don't want to
have voted against him. But,
they don't necessarily support
his actions, either. They are
afraid of the power that is
bestowed on them," said
DeFazio.
He stated the US is not in
the Gulf for any clear purpose,
and that the current US policy
is to shoot first, try diplomacy
later.
As an example of waste in
the defense budget, DeFazio
cited the decision to change
the C-4 missiles in Trident submarines to D-5 missiles. A C-4
missile carries 8 to 10
hydrogen warheads that can
land within 400 yards of its
target.
The government voted to
"improve" to D-5 missiles
that carry 10 to 12 warheads
and are accurate within 400
feet.
The change in missiles
meant each sub had to be
altered because the D-5 is a little bigger. But DeFazio said at
either 400 feet or 400 yards, it
will blow up the area around it
just the same.
While DeFazio argued that
the alteration wasn't worth the
cost, he said Rep. Charles
Bennent (D-Fla.) got up on the
floor and said, ''Why does the
representative from Oregon
object? We're only talking
about $5.5 billion."
Even though 96 members of
Congress voted against the
measure, DeFazio is amazed
that all 435 members didn't.
Another example of a
Reagan folly, said DeFazio, is
the B-1 bomber. "The
smartest thing we ever did was
to cancel the B-1 bomber
(during the Carter administration), because the Soviets had
already spent billions to def end against it. But then
Reagan goes ahead and builds
it anyway.''
Star Wars is another Reagan
fiasco, according to DeFazio.
He said that he thinks Reagan
came up with Star Wars to diffuse the Nuclear Free Zone
movement.
"It can't work perfectly,"
he said, ''because at the best
estimate by experts it would
only be about 90 percent effective. And 10 percent of 12,000
warheads actually getting
through the Star Wars shield
would obliterate the country.''
DeFazio believes that the
people of this country are
much more aware than the
people they elect. He said that
he has heard much more involvement in discus·s ions
about the West Bank (in the
Gulf) during a town meeting in
Drain, than he has ever seen
on the floor of the House.
More scholarships
Board takes action
by Robert Ward
TORCH Associate Editor
Athletics, Performing Arts, and _ vocational-technical programs will split 83 new scholarships as a result of Board of
Education action on May 18.
Investment income from the $500,000 that contractor Wayne
Shields donated to the LCC Foundation in October has enabled
the college to almost double the amount of money the college
awarded in past years for scholarships.
According to Fred Loveys, Health and PE Department head,
the scholarships present an "enormously important opportunity
to get on the map with other community colleges."
In previous years, the college funded 36 full-time tuition
scholarships. Each of the 23 area high schools received one, the
ASLCC received six, and High School Completion students
seven.
Jack Carter, vice president for Student Services, said he has
submitted numerous scholarship realignments to the board in
the past to include Performing Arts and Athletics, but this is the
first time he had more money to work with.
The $25,000 realized from the Shields endowment will be used
to provide 50 $500 scholarships. The voe-tech areas will receive
21, as this is of special interest to Shields, according to Carter.
As in the past, each of the 23 high.schools in the LCC district
will receive one scholarship, and six will be awarded to graduates
of the LCC High School Completion Program. But these
scholarships used to be worth full-time tuition ($792 next school
year), and now they are reduced to $500.
Board member Larry Perry called the reduction of the high
school scholarships by one-third "attrocious," and asked Carter
if this would be detrimental in attracting the quality of the stu- .
dent as LCC had in the past? Carter replied he didn't believe so.
The ASLCC will continue to receive six full tuition scholarships for its executive officers. Athletics will receive 48 scholarships, and Performing Arts will receive 24, each worth $330.
Perry questioned whether a community college should
distribute athletic and performing arts scholarships. He
wondered why the college should focus on those two areas of the
school, and not the academic areas.
Women's track and cross country coach Lyndell Wilken
stated that athletes must be enrolled full-time, and nine of those
credits must be in academic areas.
The purpose of the Athletics and Performing Arts scholarships, said Carter, is to relieve instructors in the two departments from fundraising. And Loveys added he would rather
have his coaches spend their time on instructing and coaching.
Other board members said the scholarships in these areas are
long overdue, and can be looked at as a form of marketing.
Wilken, in an interview with the TORCH on May 19, said,
"We're way behind other community colleges when it comes to
scholarships in sports.''
She said about 15 percent of her time over the course of a
school year is spent on fundraising. However, she devotes 60
percent of her time wµen preparing for a big event such as the
high school cross country championships or the Blue Heron Run
because these events bring in revenue for scholarships.
Wilken said she's had to "nickel and dime it" when it comes
to fundraising. The athletes would do everything from garage
sales, pop-bottle drives, and calendar sales.
Sports scholarships are "a long-awaited first" at LCC, said
Wilken, and now she "doesn't need to worry."
She said besides the credit and GPA requirements, athletes
must submit third and sixth week grade checks to their coaches.
Athletes must abide by other regulations that do not apply to
regular financial aid students, said Wilken.

'Boys of Spring' trap the Cougars
by Patrick Bryan
TORCH Sports Editor
Despite being knocked out of NW AACC
playoff contention last week, the LCC baseball
squad proved that it is still a force to be reckoned with.
After losing nine straight games the Titans,
now 7-13 in league play with just four games to
go, shutout Clackamas 3-0 behind the three hit
pitching of freshman Jim Will.
Will's three-hitter came in the nightcap of a
doubleheader at LCC on May 10 in which Lane
lost the opener, 5-1. In that game Lane scored
first with a splo run in the bottom of the first,
but Clackamas came back to score three runs in
the top of the third to take ~he lead for good.
Photo by Michael Omogrosso
The Titan's Al Pratt heads for home.
It was Will's first win of the season after four
straight losses. Head Coach Bob Foster liked
what he saw. "He had command of his slider,
which is his best pitch, said Foster."
On May 17 in Oregon City Lane survived a
four run Cougar rally in the bottom of the
seventh inning to hang on for a wild 12-10 win.
Charlie Keady and Cottage Grove product Jeff
Ordway each had three hits for Lane. Seldom
used Titan Lacy Gray knocked in three RBI's to
pace LCC.
In the second game Clackamas scored three
runs in both the fourth and fifth inning to earn
the split.
Lane, which has been forced to make up six
games that were rained out, was also swept by
Mt. Hood on May 7 in Gresham 3-2, and 6-0.
In those encounters Titan Tony Broadous had
three hits in the first game, as did shortstop Jeff
Ordway.
Women second
Weissenfe& exce&
by Patrick Bryan
TORCH Spo rts Editor
Calling the Mt. Hood
women's track team "the second best squad in the state
(behind UO)," LCC women's
head coach Lyndell Wilken
was reasonably pleased with
the Titan's second place finish
at the NW AACC Region IV
meet in Gresham May 13 and
14.
Mt. Hood, which defeated
Lane earlier in the year by only
two points in a four-way meet,
crushed the rest of the field on
their home track, finishing
with 307 points. LCC ended
up with 141.
Titans Tracy Looney, Jill
Cochran and Michelle
Weissenfels won individual
titles. Looney ran for a personal best of 1:06.3 in the 400
meter intermediate hurdles,
and Cochran beat Wendy
Walker of Mt. Hood handily
in the 100 meter hurdles, with
a time of 15.8.
Wilken singled out thrower
Michelle Weissenfels for
praise, saying "I thought
Michelle had an excellent
day." Weissenfels won the
shot put competition and placed second in the javelin and
discus.
The Titans, who have lost
several key athletes over the
course of the season, now look
towards Spokane and the final
event of the season, the
NWAACC meet in two weeks.
''We need the time to rest
and get healthier,'' says
Wilken, adding that Lane's
goal for Spokane was second
place.

Titan's grab
second place
by Patrick Bryan
TORCH Sports Editor
The Clackamas Cougars
depth in Saturday's events
nullified Lane's large lead
from Friday as the Titan's
finished second behind CCC
199-153.
Lane, which had a seemingly comfortable lead, 63-34,
over the Cougars after Friday's events, fell victim to a
deep, talented Clackamas
squad May 13 and 14 at
Gresham in the NWAACC
Region IV meet.
The Titan's had two double
winners, Nick Anastassiodes,
who won the hammer and the
discus, and Tom Skelle, who
finished first in the 10,000 and
5,000 meters. Lance Lehne,
who won the shot put with a
toss of 50-0, a foot-and-a-half
farther than his previous best,
also provided the Titans with
much needed points in the
discus with a second.
Pedro Chemialera grabbed
a first for Lane in the 400
meter with a time of 48:85.
The Titans now have two
weeks off until the NW AACC
meet in Spokane.
Head Coach Kevin Meyer
said that "for awhile I thought
we had a chance, (in Gresham)
but everyone had to perform
at their peak for us to win.
Meyers sees Spokane,
Highline, (Seattle) and
Clackamas as the teams to
beat in Spokane. ''Our goal is
to finish in the top three."

Having been the TORCH Sports Editor since Winter
Term, I think I have gotten to know my colleagues fairly
well. Last night I visited my guru and main man Bubba, to
see where my old compadres would be at the end of the
millenium.
• Julie Crist: My old editor apparently snapped when
President-elect Bruce Springsteen visited Oregon after winning the race for the White House (easily defeating
Republican candidate Michael J. Fox). Screaming
"remember Squeaky Fromme," Crist attempted to cut out
President-elect Springsteen's vocal chords with a razor,
saying, "this way he'll never sing that damn 'Born in the
USA' at his inauguration.''
• Robert Ward: By the turn of the century, the exTORCH-Associate Editor had become Managing Editor
of the "Unbelievebly Independent, Stupendously Radical,
Working Person's Bi-Monthly News."
His hair, once his pride and joy, was falling out in
clumps at the prospect of being bought out by . . .
• Pete Peterson and Dorothy Wearne: After the 20th
straight defeat of LCC's levy these two former TORCH
advisors stopped in at the on-campus McDonalds (after the
great cafeteria scandal of the early nineties, outside companies ran the food concessions at LCC) and purchased
what turned out to be the winning lottery ticket worth $42
million.
The attempt to buy Ward's magazine failed when the
Oregon State Lottery went under in 1998.
• Mike Primrose: After leaving prison in 1990, the
former Photo Editor at the TORCH picked up right where
he left off, chasing Governor (and former TORCH Assistant Production Manager) Jennifer Archer around trying
to catch (or put) her in a compromising position. Governor
Archer finally had him shot.
• Gary Alan Jones: The former Arts and Entertainment Editor's big break came in 1996, when an article he
wrote about the invasion of California (which seceded
from the US in 1989 because of a rather vague prediction
by Nostradamus) by the rest of the country won the
Pulitzer Prize.
Unfortunately Gary couldn't handle the fame and ended
up swilling "Night Train" by day and pounding out Harlequin novels by night until his tragic demise in 1999.
• Jan Brown, Michael Omogrosso, Bob Walter, Kerry
Wade, Kim K. Buchanan, Diana Feldman, and Russ Sherrill: As soon as the former Advertising Advisor (Jan) and
Production Manager (Kim) heard that their pal Crist had
been sentenced to 30 years for her assassination attempt,
they began making plans to win her freedom. Unfortunately for the rest of the TORCHIES, the group's attempted
kidnap of Vice-President elect Tina Turner was foiled
when Ike Turner, his own bad self, fresh out of rehab and
spoiling for a fight, came upon the intrepid little band at a
7-11 and rescued his ex-wife.
• Alice Wheeler, Jaylene Sheridan, and Mike
Saker: After Tony Orlando and Dawn were killed by
rabid dingos on their Australian tour, Hollywood searched
high and low for a replacement. The former staff writer,
typesetter, and staff photographer for the TORCH were
discovered at a local amateur night, blasting out their
•show-stopping rendition of ''Tie a Yell ow Ribbon.''
Is this a great country or what?
Heceta welcomes spring
by Diana Feldman
TORCH Staff Writer
In conjunction with Florence's Rhododendron Festival, LCC will open Heceta House
to the public on Saturday and Sunday, May
21-22 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Heceta House is included in the National
Register of Historic Places, says Dave
Wienecke of Campus Services. It has been
managed by LCC since 1970, after the college entered into a special use permit with the
U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest
Service. Wienecke says LCC is largely
responsible for saving the house, which was
slated to be torn down in the early seventies.
The house will be staffed with representatives from LCC, the Waldport ranger
district, and the Coast Guard. They will conduct tours, provide historical background information, and gather input on the future of
Heceta House, says Diane Prokop of institutional advancement.
Photos by
Michael Saker
There will be a ten-minute slide show of
the history of the house, a videotape of old
pictures, and framed pictures of the houses's
development, she adds.
Two styles of T-shirts, pamphlets, and a
book chronicling the history of the
lighthouse keeper's house, including interviews and anecdotes from and about the
keepers, will be for sale at the open house
and all proceeds will go to the Heceta House
Development Fund, says Wienecke.
One of the T-shirts available was designed
by Edna Kennell, and is titled Gray Lady of
Heceta House in honor of the resident ghost
named Rue, says Wienecke.
The public is invited and there is no admission charge, says Prokop. The house is
located 13 miles north of Florence on
Highway 101. Shuttle service will be provided for people who may find it difficult to
walk the quarter of a mile to the house, Prokop adds, and a van will leave from Devil's
Elbow State Park as needed.
LCC finally discovers the advantages of self-promotion
by Julie Crist
TORCH Editor
Can you name a multimillion dollar business that
operates without a marketing
plan?
Until 1985, you could have
answered LCC.
"We've always had a class
schedule, a catalog, and some
simple brochures, and that
was pretty much it for a long
time," says Diane Dann, chair
of the LCC Marketing Council.
Former LCC president
Eldon Schaf er felt that
marketing was unnecessary as
long as enrollment exceeded
the number of students who
the state would reimburse the
college for.
"As enrollment began to
decline, a lot of people
disagreed with that position,''
says Dann.
In 1985-86, Dann says there
was a grassroots movement
among department heads to
allocate more money for
marketing. President Turner
allocated $9,000 in response to
a request by the Marketing
Council.
"It was the first money that
we've ever had for advertising
per se," Dann adds.
The money was used for
pre-term radio advertising in
addition to the pre-exisitng
~arketing devices.
In 1986-87, the $9,000 was
increased to $25,000, which
bought additional advertising
and some marketing research
"We found that someone in
one out of every two
households had used the college in the last five years, so
people knew us, and people
liked us."
Dann says that the council
plans to repeat the study in
about a year to learn about
any changes in the public's
perception of the college.
The new budget also paid
for the LCC four-color
brochure. ''The college had
never had anything like this.''
In December of this year,
the Board of Education funded the council's request of an
additional $70,000, which will
increase to $75,000 next year.
"We need to begin to get the
college out in front of the people,'' says Dann.
The council is trying to
create a graphic image of the
college through TV spots,
LTD bus cards, phone book
display ads, and more.
LCC' s target groups,
women 25-49, and working
people, will also receive more
attention.
Dann says that the next step
is to apply the money to
specific programs.
"For the first time, we're
making money available to
departments. If they can come
forward with a good plan for
how to recruit one of our
target groups, we will make
allocations to the departments."
A recent live broadcast by
KUGN's morning show from
LCC was also the product of
the new marketing budget.
Carl Horstrup, Industrial
Technology department head,
negotiated with KUGN to do
the campus broadcast for half
price, costing the college
$1,200 rather than the usual
$2,000.
Future marketing plans include target-group directed
summer term promotion, a
mass-mailing to all fall applicants and area high schools
of a new brochure, and
changes in winter-term orientation. Counselors have asked
that orientation begin earlier
so they can spend more time
with students.
''Other schools have begun
fairly aggressive marketing
and communications activities
and said it takes three years (to
see results)," says Dann.

KLCC's staffer's stories steal prominent industry awards
by Julie Crist
Oregon social issues. Only one
reporter jn the state will
receive this award each year.
"The sort of journalism
that I do is not always seen as
mainstream -- which is to say I
get criticized and sometimes
get a lot of heat for what I do.
I think in that regard, the Tom

very gratifying because I think
it legitimizes what I do in the
public's eye and my fellow

Deli delicacies draw swarms of starvi.ng students
by Diana Feldman
TORCH Staff Writer
Since the second day that
LCC's new Deli Etc. opened,
Willie Keahola, food service
instructor and coordinator of
LCC's newest food outlet, has
received one constant complaint, and he is delighted
about it.
Deli Etc. opened April 5,
serving students and faculty
two days a week, Tuesdays
and Thursdays.
''The deli has been very well
received.'' says Keahola.
"We've had nothing but real
positive comments from
everybody that has used the
facilities.''
But there is one objection to
the deli, he s~ys, and that is
it's not open enough days.
The deli opened for three
days a week (Tuesday - Thursday) in May, but had to return
to its original schedule because
of low enrollment in the
Culinary Food Service and
Hospitality Program. And according to Keahola, at this
point being open three days a
week is an "impossibility."
Plans have been made to
open the deli three days a week
in the fall, he says, and if
enrollment picks up in the program, there's a possibility of
opening four days a week.
Another new offering in the
fall will be take-home foods,
states Keahola. "Some
gourmet dinners," he explains, "can be packaged up
so that people can take them
home and either put them in a
microwave oven or a conventional oven."
Desserts are the best sellers
this term, says Keahola, with
salads running a close second.
The deli also provides at least
two items for vegetarians, he
adds.
As an instructional vehicle,
the deli has helped instill confidence in the students because
of a rotation system implemented by Keahola. Each
student gets the opportunity to
act as manager-supervisor.
''There is a lot of interaction
and good feedback," says
Keahola, because students
learn how give and receive instructions.
Keahola has assigned the
duties of head baker and deli
manager to students, and he
lets them handle the respon-

sibilities and work out any
problems that arise. But
Keahola is available to help
solve any difficulties.
Instructors used to do
everything for the students,
states Keahola, such as ordering foods, assigning jobs, and
preparing for the day's
business. However, in this
program the students handle
these assignments, and he
believes this is a better way of
training people.
According to Keahola, the
Culinary Food Service and
Hospitality Program places
about 89 percent of its
students. ''They're all
employed by the time they
leave here, or shortly
thereafter," he says. "Within
60 days they all have a job in
the food industry which pertains to their major."
Keahola says there are an
abundance of jobs available in
the community and in the state
that, ''We're not able to fill
because we don't have enough
students.

Mary See
'Ijust had one mind-set, and went with it.
Feature by Lynne Swift
Page Design by Ginny Clark
for the TORCH
A rainbow of red, yellow, and pink tights moves
in unison to the rhythmic wail of Whitney
Houston.
Mary Seereiter, director of dance at Lane Community College, moves lightly through the lines of
aerobics dancers, pressing a shoulder into position, straighting a back, aligning a hip. She grins
encouragement to a panting student.
"Support the abdominals! Press up now ...
square-off those hips!''
Back up in front of the room, she's into the
routine, her movements precise and measured,
wrists turned just so. Laughing, calling out instructions, she coaxes and cajoles " . . . just one
more time now. " The students look weary.
Seereiter looks energized.
Most professional dancers are tap dancing at
three and dreaming of point shoes at 10. Mary had
been keenly disappointed when, at the age of six,
her family could not afford to continue her dance
lessons. Seereiter was already 20, married, and
pregnant with her second child when she was reintroduced to dance.
But it was like throwing a match in a gas can.
A friend showed her some African dance
routines. "It just got me right away. She'd tell me
what they were doing in school and I'd take the
assignment and do it at home,'' says Seereiter.
After her second child was born and for the next
two years, Seereiter squeezed dance class between
looking after her two toddlers.
The family moved from Oakland, CA to
Ashland in 1972.
As a 24 year-old student at Southern Oregon
College, performing with a dance company, she
plunged into choreography (the art of creating
dances), an aspect of dance that delights her even
now.
''That experience really got me excited about
that end of it,'' she says. Seereiter believes that
choreography is a mystical process of revelation.
''There are dances that are invisible. As
choreographers, we discover them. I love to
choreograph ... it's a magical part of performing.''
At 27, and newly divorced, she and the children
moved to Eugene where she enrolled as a freshmen
in the dance program at the University of Oregon.
But by now the fantasy of dancing and
choreographing had become a compelling reality.
"I just had one mind set and went with it, immersed. myself in it.''
She was by now almost 10 years older than the
average freshmen. Children, classes, rehearsals
and waitress work competed for her energy. She
completed her bachelor and master's degrees in
five years at the age of 32. "I didn't have time to
waste," she says.
Seereiter's son Jack, now 20, a guitarist with
the Eugene-based salsa group Caliente,
remembers those days. ''She was always very busy
... but she always included us. She'd be writing
on her thesis and rehearsing, but her time at home
was quality time. She used to bake stuff for us and
we'd have little tea parties and listen to music.''
Shortly after she graduated, she started work as
director of dance at LCC. The former director,
Nicola Foster, was the original dance instructor at
LCC and had developed a strong following among
her students. Seereiter acknowledges the transition
as "difficult."
''Students get real used to their teachers and feel
their instructor is the only one. I really needed to
prove myself." By the end of her first year,
however, she had founded the Lane Dance
Theatre -- a dance company composed of students
of all levels and abilities -- and was firmly
established with her own following.
Catherine Jenkins, LCC dance instructor and
one of Seeriter's former students, characterizes
Seereiter as very loving and giving. "She's so patient, especially with new dancers. Working with
·T here are dances that are
invisible. As choreographers,
we discover them!'
all levels of dancers is very challenging." But
Seereiter was intent on giving everyone a chance to
perform, she says. In fact, Jenkins once hurt her
knee a few days before a performance and sat on
the sidelines, depressed, watching the other
dancers rehearse. "Mary rewrote a dance where I
could still have a part. The other dancers lifted me
up -- and I only had to use my good leg."
Seereiter' s own experiences as an older student
spurred her to create performance opportunities
for beginning dancers. ''People come in here and
say 'Oh, I think it's too late ... and I say 'Oh no
it's not!' At LCC, I'm working primarily with
beginners. In my choreography, what becomes a
challenge is making a piece that is exciting to
watch and is in the range of the people I work
with."
Seereiter's noon aerobics class is warming up.
An apprentice instructor moves the dancers
through the routine. Seereiter sits to the side,
watching intently and taking notes. At last she
walks unhurriedly to the front of the room. The
dancers brighten. She picks up the pace. Like a
friendly drill sergeant, she barks a non-stop
stream of instructions, mini-lessons in body movement.
"Remember, your hips are like a typewriter carriage . . . move them side to side!"
Seereiter's interest in body mechanics and ·
kinesiology (the study of movement) led her to
develop a one-year teaching certificate program
for aerobics instructors. _
' ''Typically, studios used to hire people who
were cute and good motivators but didn't know
much about the body. Through all my dance
studies, I've always combined my dance with
anatomy and kinesiology.''
The program, now in its second year, combines
dance technique courses with aerobics, anatomy
and posture. Students who graduate from the program are then .qualified to teach aerobics, an occupation in great demand locally, according to
Seereiter.
While the teaching certificate program will remain in the Physical Education Department, the
dance performce classes came under the administration wing of the Performing Arts Depart- ·
ment this year. Seereiter is elated at the prospect
of working within a performance-oriented environment.
This summer, for example, she'll teach in a
musical theater workshop combining training in
dance, voice and acting.
The responsibility for teaching in two departments, administering the certificate program,
choreographing new material and performing
seems undauqting to Seereiter. Although she
believes that her almost obsessive involvement in
every aspect of her work was developed of necessity, she admits she needs to change. As a result,
Seereiter is sharing the choregraphing for the
Spring Concert May 20 and 21. "It's hard to give
up responsibility and be sure it's done right. I'm
trying to let go."
And yet, rntensity seems to flow through every
aspect of Seereiter's life as a dancer, teacher,
choreographer, friend, and mother.
Catherine Jenkins marvels at Seereiter's
stamina. "Mary stayed up 'til 2 a.m. sewing
costumes for our last performance in Portland a
few weeks ago. She's always going, always doing,
taking care of everything, pulling people along
with her."
•
"Mary's driven by her passion to express what
she sees and feels,'' says Chris, a close friend of
several years.
"She takes on all the problems of her students.
She makes everything work,'' says her son, Jack.
Much of Seereiter's work combines themes of
nature and ritual, themes to which she is very attached. ''To me, ritual is the idea of people
finding meaning in movement in unison to create
an effect ... rituals concerned with nature remind
us of the connection between nature and man ...
how we're the caretakers.''
It's 4 p.m. and rehearsal begins. Nine dancers
huddle like football players, their arms around
each other. Soundlessly, they break and scatter into position, their reflections vague shapes on the
black gym floor. The dancers move silently at
first, a song without music.
A primitive African drumbeat breaks the silence
and suddenly the dancers seem like jungle
animals, moving fast and free.
Like Mary Seerieter.
The Dance Program and Lane .Dance Theatre
will present the annual Spring Concert, '' Isle of
View" on May 20 and 21 at the LCC Mainstage
Theatre. The performance will begin at 8 p.m.

Interview: LCC Board member, Charlene Curry
by Craig Smith
TORCH Staff Writer
Editor's Note: This is a condensed
transcript of the sixth interview with
members of the LCC Board of Education. In this installment, the TORCH
asks questions of Charlene Curry,
who is in her eleventh year on the
board. As with all board members,
Curry is elected to office, and serves
the college district without pay. Last
year she retired from the University of
Oregon, where she was a professor in
the College of Education, and also
served as Director of Governmental
Relations. One of her areas of expertise is the study of educational institutions. She earned a master's degree in
counseling, and a doctorate in educational foundations.
TORCH: Do you feel tl'le
Board of Education (along
with the college administration) has played more of an
advisorial role . . . with faculty and staff, instead of a
mediator's role?
CURRY: I don't want to look
back at the past because I
think that just brings up a lot
of misunderstandings. It's absolutely essential for everyone
to think the best of everyone
else . . . all the players at the
college have a role to play. I
think playing those roles, and
clearly understanding what
our jobs are, and then working
together with the other units is
important.
I don't think everybody can
be president. Everybody can't
be a teacher, or a board
member. But I suppose we
could all be students. And
maybe that's the best thing we
can all be together -- (study)
and do our homework. Trust
is just critical.
TORCH: Trust has certainly
been an issue as far as this
year's contract negotiations
(with faculty) were concerned.
What can be done differently
to ensure that trust?
CURRY: I can tell you -(although) I cannot speak for
the board -- I would hope the
contractual process would be
collaborative and less adversarial. I've seen it in other colleges. I'm involved nationally with community college
trustees, and I've been to other
colleges where they are using a
collaborative approach, and
it's been a win-win approach.
TORCH: If contract negotiations were going to be a collaborative effort, how would
that begin?
CURRY: Beats me. I think
about it all the time. The
genius of the community college is its flexibility .... Even
with sufficient money, it still
has to be flexible.
We have to be able to initiate new programs. We have
to train people for jobs that
are really out there. And there
are times when we have to cut
programs when they're no
longer filling the need.
TORCH: So . . . while it may
look like programs are being
cut for lack of funds, you may
view it as planning for the
future?
TORCH: That's right. And I
was talking to Vice President
(for Instruction Jacquelyn)
Belcher the other day about
this, too. We have just got to
educate the faculty that these
kinds of programs have got to
be cut and we've got to build
new programs.
TORCH: What are the new
programs you want to
develop?
CURRY: Robotics, for sure.
One thing we've just done is a
study that deals with the
trends -- in terms of projecting "target populations," the

jobs that will be available.
(And) it's the answer to how
we improve our marketing and
increase our enrollment. Community colleges have to keep
changing all the time. The
vocations change in the world
of work.
And the real problem, and
this concerns me, is that with
those kinds of changes, there
will be dislocations of teachers
at the community college. And
those people are always going
to be upset.
I asked Vice President
Belcher, "What are we doing
to address this?'' And she said
we are developing ways by
which we can assist faculty to
gain training in several areas.
So that when one (curricular)
area becomes smaller, those

to another area. I'm concerned about retraining or continuous training of faculty, so
that the anxiety level drops as
low as possible.

breed of cat than the
legislature.
If I were to think about
what I've contributed, I think
I've been able to see the whole
picture. Seeing all the parts
and players pulling together,
working together.
I've seen the good and the
bad times. The bad aren't so
terrible, they're just revenueshort.
TORCH: In what direction
should the community college
be educating people?
CURRY: I believe we need to
internationalize, especially
(with) LCC on the Pacific
Rim.
This is a global community.
We need to have people who
can teach languages -- all the
Pacific Rim languages, not
just Japanese and Chinese, but
Korean, Thai.
Paul Simon wrote a book
called The Tongue-Tied
American and we are. (LCC)
should be capitalizing on this,
in the Business Department,
etc.
For example, international
trade has moved from the
Atlante to the Pacific.
Tourism is the number two industry in the world after oil -agriculture used to be number
two, it's now number three.
I'd like to stress there are
lots of jobs in the international
field. And that can mean staying right here in this area, too.
I think this community could
use some help in these areas.
Tourism, international trade.

Jamaican students build futures
Lane Community College's Construction
Technology Program, under the direction of
Carl Horstrup, has again been selected by the
United States Agency for International
Development to provide training for women
from the Kingston, Jamaica Women's Construction Collective. (LCC first provided training from August through October, 1988.)
The Jamaican Collective, established in 1983
to reduce the high rate of unemployment (75
percent) of women from Western Kingston,
provides women with basic training to enable
them to obtain entry level employment in the
building industry.
In June, eleven women from the Collective
will enroll at LCC to begin ten weeks of advanced construction training with the college's
Construction Technology program. The program will provide the women with hands-on
training in blueprint reading, arc welding,
building construction, basic house wiring and
minor repairs, sheet metal, cabinet construction
and woodworking, and plumbing.
The women will spend two of the ten weeks
learning masonry at the Angell Job Corps
Center in Walport.
While vocational training is the primary purpose of the program, a secondary purpose is to
provide the women with cultural experiences
that will lead to a better understanding of life
and culture in the US. Linda Myers, Coordinator for the Jamaican Women In Construction Program, is seeking families who are interested in hosting a Jamaican student for one
or two weekends.
Myers is scheduling events and activities
now, and would appreciate hearing from interested people as soon as possible. She may be
contacted at ext. 2843 or at 344-6483
(evenings).
T.G.I.S.... "Thank God it's summer!" However it is also a
time when many of the students of lane Community
College think about their housing needs.

Clinic offers smile maintenance
by Denise Duclos
for the TORCH
Because their medical cards
only cover dental emergencies,
five developmentally disabled
clients from a Florence grouphome had their teeth cleaned
at the LCC Dental Hygiene
Clinic on May 11. Donna
Smith, a second-year hygiene
student, helped organize the
trip to the clinic.
Clients at the group-home
are independent and receive
virtually no financial support
from their families. They have
to look to the community for
preventive health services.
The majority of the funds
for the group-home come
from the State of Oregon
Mental Health Programs for
Lane County. But one to two
percent come from donations.
There are three grouphomes in Florence with five
clients in each one. However,
there are only seven staff
members to attend to them all.
Though this is an adequate
number to meet the clients'
basic needs, volunteers are
needed for the Friendly Visitor
Program.
The FVP invloves one to
one special attention with a
client, which may vary from
talking about hobbies to going
out for lunch.
Two of the clients that
visited the Dental Hygiene
Clinic from a Florence grouphome have cerebral palsy. Gail
Waggoner, 34, is from
Pendelton, and Don Hiatt, 33,
came to the home from Fairview State Hospital. According to staff manager Ron
Spoelstra, many more Fair-
GOINGS ON

view residents will soon be
placed in new group-homes

one of his hobbies, Chinese
cooking.
But since high school,
Birkenhead had wanted to
teach. He finally decided to
"go for what he really
wanted.''
He was hired to teach in the
business department after a 15
minute interview.
Birkenhead prefers a community college to a 4-year institution because ''the onus is
on teaching. I like to teach my
classes not because they're
preparatory for the next class,
but so that (students) can leave
this afternoon and use what
they learned today.''
A major aspect of teaching
that he says he enjoys is the
autonomy. "I choose the
book. I choose the lessons. I
do what I want with the
class.''
In his spare time,
Birkenhead is an entertainer.
He plays guitar and piano and
sings "cocktail" music. He
has played regularly for two
years at the Tree House on
Franklin Blvd.
He is also interested m
photography and traveling,
and is planning a trip to Germany and Italy this August.
And, he adds, "I'm a great
cook."
Though Birkenhead says he
is not a workaholic, when he
gets up in the morning, he
thinks, "I get to go to work!
''For a wh'ile I was getting a
little bored with teaching
because I restricted myself to a
set of lecture notes, so now I
don't use lecture notes. That
puts a new set of pressures on
me to talk from my heart and
from my head instead of from
a prepared speech. That's a
different style of teaching.''

He found that his teaching
has improved since that decision.
"It takes a lot of time to
practice your spontaneity.''
Birkenhead feels that the
award is ''the best honor you
can get as a teacher at LCC. I
don't know who nominated
me, but I want to thank
them." He would like to learn
which of his teaching qualities
earned him that award.
But Birkenhead is not entirely comfortable with the
honor.
Though he doesn't want to
discount
the
award,
Birkenhead rejects the idea
that he is better than other
teachers because of it, and
says he would like to see LCC
begin an annual honor roll of
teachers.

ceremony, the college's Mass
