A Positively Scientific Experience
by Kristine Anne Hayes
"A dog is a mammal, I think."
Until a year ago, that was my most scientific thought. In high
school, science classes never seemed to work out for me. I
remember a nasty incident in chemistry class involving a Bunsen
burner and my best friend's hair. There was also the time I saved
three baby mice from the snake-filled biology lab, only to have
my cat make them into mouse hors d'oeuvres. Science just
wasn't my field.
Three years ago I decided to enroll at LCC and complete my
undergraduate classes before transferring to a state university.
During my first two years, I concentrated on journalism and
literature classes, but avoided any courses that had "science" in
their titles.
Last year, as spring term approached, I met with an advisor to
evaluate my progress. She looked over my transcript and asked
why I hadn't taken any of the required biology classes. Excuses
ran through my mind ranging from, "My dog always seemed to
eat the science section of my class schedule catalog," to "My
astrologer advised me not to take any course that ended in the
suffix 'ology.' " Not wanting to admit my science-phobia, I
simply told her I hadn't had time to take those classes. She suggested I find the time.
As I scanned the class schedule, dreadful thoughts ran rampant through my mind. I pictured a sterile laboratory filled with
black snakes, white rats and mutated guinea pigs. I saw the instructor as someone who resembled Dr. Jekyll and I envisioned
all the other students in class as brilliant scholars who had never
scored any grade lower that A . How was I going to survive?
Finally, I decided I would enroll in animal biology. I liked
animals. I didn't like biology. It was the best I could do.
The first day of class arrived and I finally found the right
room. I walked in, fully prepared to walk out. To my surprise,
and delight, most of the people looked as scared and confused as
I did. These people weren't superhumans: they were students
just like me! And when the teacher arrived, he wasn't the crazed
laboratory worker I had envisioned, either. In reality, he was
just as nice and personable as all of the other instructors I had.
I suddenly found myself interested in science. It was
fascinating to learn about the creatures and world we so often
take for granted.
Today, a year after I took that first science class, the class I
was sure I would fail, I have a new major and new goals. I am
now an agricultural sciences major who plans to become a

LCC Journalism student
Robert Wolfe learned last
week that he captured first
place in a seven-state college
journalism competiton sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi, the
Society of Professional Journalists.
Wolfe's winning feature
story, '' A Question of Dignity,'' examined euthanasia as
espoused by the National
Hemlock Society. It was
published in the LCC TORCH
as well as in the local arts and
entertainment weekly, What's
Happening. Wolfe, an LCC
journalism major, is a regular
contributor to both publications.
Wolfe interviewed the National Hemlock Society's
founder Derek Humphrey,
who believes euthanasia
should be an option for terminally ill people who do not
want to be kept alive past the
point of normal death.
Wolfe described Humphrey's own experience in supporting his wife's wish to end
her life when she was terminally ill with cancer several years
ago in England.
The prize-winning story includes excerpts of three interviews with three local cancer
patients who are considering
euthanisaia, and a review of
Oregon laws which define as
second-degree manslaughter
the act of assisting someone
commit suicide.

Leave'C"and learn: Life teaches the best lessons
by Julie Crist
TORCH Editor
Well, this is it. Here you
have the last issue of the
1987-88 TORCH. That means
it's time to get personal.
I have a couple of things to
say. The first one is this: Quitting college can be the best
education you'll ever get.
I dropped out of college in
1980 for lots of reasons: I was
bored; I was young; I was
short-sighted; I wanted my
"independence"; I had no
idea what I wanted to be when
I grew up.
So I embarked on that great
American search for "job
satisfaction.'' The list of
careers I have tried and
discarded looks like an annual
schedule for "What's My
Line?'': aerobics teacher;
airplane dispatcher; cook; filer
(legal); gardener; ghost (in a
haunted house); grocery clerk;
house painter; nurse; optician;
police officer; printer; sales
clerk; seamstress; soldier; temporary; tour wholesaler;
unemployed; waitress.
I think that covers most of
them.
These jobs all had one thing
in common. There was a line
between those who had
then "go for success."
The second thing that I want
to say is "thank you."

paper, and if you read my

Salute to Friday Forum
by Jerome Garger
English & Foreign Language Dept.
Several students have devoted considerable time and energy to making Friday Forum a success this year. I wish to
thank them . publicly. They are, in
alphabetical order, Su Boliou (our
founder in 1986), Eric Burke, Greg Colt,
Deborah Del George, Staci Holly, Steve
Stanford, Mike Stewart, Robert Wolfe,
and others who contributed to our efforts.
Friday Forum is a student organization
dedicated to informing and educating the
college community about current significant social, environmental, and political
issues. We have arranged forums for the
following groups: the League of Women
Voters, the Lane Memorial Blood Bank,
the American Lung Association, People
for the Ethical Treatment of Animals,
supporters of the Grape Boycott, BRING
(Begin Recycling in Neighborhood
Groups), and petitioners committed to
restoring a democratic process to Eugene
city government.
We have coordinated the Martin Luther
King, Jr. Speech and Essay Contest, raised issues concerning the developmentally
disabled, helped to organize a forum
regarding difficulties encountered by
disabled students at LCC and another
dealing with issues of racial discrimation
in this area.
We have organized forums for Beyond
War, Friends of the Cathedral Forest,
Clergy and Laity Concerned, and for
groups questioning current US policies in
Latin America: Witness for Peace, the
Council on Human Rights in Latin
America, and the C_ommittee in Solidarity
with Central American People.
We have presented diverse viewpoints,
such as Pro-Choice and Anti-Abortion
organizations, the Society for Creative
Anachronism, AIDS information groups,
the Draft and Pre-Enlistment Counseling
Project, the American Peace Test, and
Women's Action for Nuclear Disarmament.
We have also supported the recent visit
by Soviet athletes to LCC and participated in LCC Peace Week activities.
At a time when our top-level government leadership grows increasingly corrupt and evasive, when our environment
is being rapidly and mincHessly destroyed,
and when the majority
ir people seem
intent on entertainih6 themselves to
death, it is heartening to see a group of
students discover their power to question,
to educate, and to effect change. At this
dawn of a new day that will determine
whether life on our beautiful planet will
survive, I honor the positive dedication
and hopeful energy of the students in Friday Forum., We urge you to join us.
is the purpose of the paper.
The TORCH is supposed to be
a vehicle of expression for
everyone in the college community. But we hardly hear
from anybody.
The TORCH exists to cover
news stories relevant to the
school. The number of stories
and their depth depend on the
availability of reporters. But I
think the TORCH should be
used by everyone on campus
to voice opinions. We hardly
ever receive correspondence
from anyone.
I would rather hear complaints than silence. Complaints mean the TORCH is
being read. Silence means the
TORCH is starting a lot of
barbeques and slash piles.
I don't mind listening to
compliments, either. But those
also are few and far between.
The TORCH just wants to
hear, period.

Museums: Cool places to pass hot summer days
by Diana Feldman
TORCH Staff Writer
When the summer heat outside gets too uncomfortable,
but your brain is getting soggy
from soap opera reruns, it's
time to do something different. Consider an inexpensive museum tour.
Museums are cool -- environmentally, as well as intellectually. There are seven
museums
in
EugeneSpringfield area. Four are admission free, the other three
have minimal fees.
Willamette Science and
Technology Center (WISTEC)
is featuring YOU ARE
HERE! Maps and mapping
with a variety of historic and
modern maps on display. Kids
love WISTEC. Once they
discover this is a "hands-on"
museum it's hard to get them
to leave.
The Lane Education Service
District (ESD) Planetarium is
located inside the WISTEC
Building. The Planetarium's
companion
show
to
WISTEC's exhibition is called
Sky Maps.
WISTEC is located at 2300
Centennial Blvd., next to
Autzen Stadium. There are
separate admission costs for
both WISTEC and the
Planetarium.
If you prefer history to
science, visiting the Lane
County Historical Museum ~r
the Springfield Museum will
sharpen your background
knowledge on the history of
Oregon and especially Lane
County.
The Lane County Historical
Museum, located at 740 W.
13th Avenue, is adjacent to the
Lane County Fairgrounds.
There are collections
documenting immigration to
Oregon, logging, agriculture,
and occupations from the
1850s to the early 20th century. The cost is $1.00 for
adults and 50 cents for 18 and
under.
Admission is free to the Springfield Museum, located in
the renovated Pacific Power &
Light Building at 590 Main
St., Springfield. The structure
itself is interesting. Built in
1908 to house electrical
TORCH,
generators, it now houses
photographs and artifacts pertaining to the area's pioneer
heritage, and the city's roots in
industry, logging, and
agriculture.
For art lovers there are two
free admission museums. The
Maude Kerns Art Center,
located at 1910 E. 15th Ave.,
features contemporary art, a
year-round program of exhibitions, classes, and special
events. The University of
Oregon's Museum of Art
hosts a continuously changing
exhibition and houses outstanding permanent collections
devoted to Chinese, Japanese,
Korean, Cambodian, Russian,
and African, as well as Contemporary Northwest and

I wish that my copy this
week contained more wit, but
I'm thankful that I finally
know what I want to be when I
grow up -- a journalist.
I have always read
everything I could get my
hands on, and was always
curious as to how a newspaper
was put together. I took for
granted that everyday the
paper would be in its rack,
waiting for my dime on the
weekdays aR_d my quarter on
Sunday.
Because of my year at the
TORCH, I know how a weekly paper is produced. It is like
a seed, planted with words and
pictures, and watered with
ideas and enthusiasm, until,
on Friday morning, another
child is born.
After 28 children this year,
this TORCHIE is ready for a
break. But in the middle of
September, new TORCHIES
(and probably a few old ones)
will once again enter the

livestock extension agent with the USDA. During the past year I
have taken numerous science classes, including zoology, botany,
and physical anthropology. Now, not only can I say, "A dog is a
mammal, no doubt about it," I can also reel off statements like,
'' An individual having two alleles for a specific trait can be
either heterozygous or homozygous with the recessive
characteristic being expressed phenotypically only if the
genotype of the individual indicates they are homnozygous for
that trait."
Lane Community College opened up a whole new world to me
that I might never have explored otherwise. My science classes
have been challenging, but with the encouragement of the instructors, I have stuck with them. In addition, because of the
academic success I have had in my LCC science classes, I was
recently awarded a $1,000 Agricultural Sciences Honors
Scholarship to continue my studies at Oregon State University.
It has truly .been a positively scientific experience for me at
Lane Community College!

Incest message
Dear Son,
This letter is part of my
healing and a message to you.
Family secrets have been a
part of our family since before
you were born. It is time to
change that.
Your sister disclosed to me
that she was a victim of incest
and that she had been
molested from early childhood
by your father.
I have been in therapy and
have attended a special group
for mothers of incest victims.
As a result, I have learned
some things about male siblings of female victims. I am
concerned that you may also
have been a victim. I could be
wrong. I hope to God I am.
However, I feel you should be
aware of what I have learned.
One out of five men are survivors of molestation, and the
number increases as more men
are willing and able to talk
about it.
In my studies, I have come
to understand some of the
fears of male victims. They
may feel weak and powerless.
Sometimes they try to look
macho; some become rebels.
Some wonder about their sexual identity if the offender was
also male. Some try to hide the
pain and bad feelings by use of
alcohol or drugs. They may be
angry or fearful of becoming
an offender too. This does not
have to be.
If you have also been an incest victim, I want you to
know:
You are not to blame.
You are not at fault.
You are good and always
have been.
You are not alone.
One hundred percent of the
blame belongs to your father,
my husband. He is totally
responsible. He manipulated
us all and we were all his victims. He is cunning and
powerful. The use of power
and violence is typical of the
offender's way of making the
family keep the secret. He is a
child molester. There is a new
generation of innocent
children in our family that are
at risk.
It is time this family secret is
talked about. It will not go
away. It will affect all we do in
our lives and how we relate to
others, including partners and
children.
We can break the cycle.
Your sister took the first step
by disclosing what happened
to her.
I love you unconditionally.
You fill a very special place in
my life. I know you may have
anger toward me for not protecting you from whatever
kinds of abuse you suffered as
a child, and that is okay.
I will do my best to answer
questions you may have. I love
you and want you to know I
am here for you if you need
me. There is help available for
all of us in dealing with this
problem.
Thank you for being my
son.
With all my love, Mother.
Senate winner
To the Editor:
I would like to take this time
to thank the students for
voting for me in the ASLCC
elections two weeks ago. I was
surprised at getting 119 votes.
I will try to do the best job I
can as a senator. I will be
thinking of your rights, and
watching where your student
body fees are being spent. The
students need to communicate
better with student government. Therefore, as a member
of your senate and one of your
representives, please let me
know through my mail box in
the Student Resource Center
or in the ASLCC office,
Center Building, Rm. 479,
what you would like to see
changed.

The 'Night Shift' guide to local links
Old golfers never die, .they just putt out
by Patrick Bryan
TORCH Sports Editor
At one time or another, most Americans have
probably tried to play the game of golf.
At one time or another most Americans have
also sworn never to play that"damned sport"
again.
And I realize that the odds of someone ever
becoming a "scratch" or professional level golfer
are roughly equivalent to say, oh, David Lee
Roth's lover testing clean at the clinic.
But for all of you people who have persevered in
not only reading this far but also continuing to
play the game, here is the Night Shift guide to
Eugene-Springfield area courses.
• Laurelwood Golf Course: Known to area
golfers as the "weed," Laurelwood, which is owned by the city of Eugene, is built on the kinds of
hills that mountain goats usually avoid because
they're just "too darned steep." Although the
price is right, it's a little discouraging to hit two
beautiful shots, only to get to the green and
discover it is neither green nor puttable.
The course is recommended for beginning and
intermediate players. Cost: $6for 9, $10.50for 18.
Rating: 4.
• Oakway Golf Course: Here is a course that
used to be a beautiful 18 hole layout. But its setting in the middle of Eugene made it very attractive to developers, (you can hit Rich Brook's
house with a good drive on 4) and it has since
been transformed into an "executive" course,
which means that it's not as long as a regular
course, and there are no par 5's.
It's a great place to work on your short game,
the course is always well kept up, and there is no
need to call ahead for reservations (they won't
take them). Since it is a shorter course the prices
reflect that. Cost: $7 for 9: $10 for 18: Rating: 7.
• Emerald Valley Golf Course: Located in
Creswell, which is seven miles south of Eugene,
Emerald Valley also boasts a complete gym, a
restaraunt, a lounge, and 18 of the toughest holes
this little putter has ever played.
It's very popular, and the course can bring you
to your knees pronto. It's long, the greens are as
hard as week-old pound cake, and the ball-eating
trees there are ravenous.
It's also a lot of fun. Cost: $12for 9, $18for 18.
Rating: 7.
• Springfield Golf Course: When I played this
course recently the greens had just been
"plugged," which is what all those little holes are
that you see in greens being worked on. That
didn't help matters much, and neither did a wild
driver.
What I can tell you, judging by the front nine, is
that Springfield C.C. has a ways to go to really be
considered a "Country Club."
Some of the holes are fine, well laid out, and
fun to play. But some, like the ridiculous third
hole, a 101 yard shot onto a ramshackle green,
would be more like something you would see at
Fiddler's Green. Cost: $9 for 9, $17 for 18.
Rating: 5.
• Tok A Tee Golf Course: Nationally known,
not only because of the amazing course, but also
because of the incredible scenery around it. The
Three Sisters (mountains) are looming over your
shoulder, deep, lush greenery is everywhere, and
so is the (double) bogey man.
If you do golf you must play this course.
Period. It's difficult, fairly long, and has lots of
sand, but where else do you run the chance of seeing herds of deer roaming around as you play?
Tok A Tee is located just past Blue River, which is
a 45 minute drive up the beautiful McKenzie
Highway. Cost: $12 for 9, $20 for 18. All college
students are half price until June 17. Rating: 10.
• McKenzie River Golf Course: Don't feel
you're quite ready for Tok A Tee? Too long a
drive, maybe?
Well, try this "junior" Tok A Tee, located in
beautiful downtown Leaburg, about 15 minutes
past Springfield on Hwy. 126.
McKenzie is a pristine little nine hole layout. It's
fairly easy (par 35), always well manicured, and its
scenery is just a notch or two below the Tok. Since
it is right on the McKenzie river you can expect
some aquatic antics. Another must play. Cost: $7
for 9, $12 for 18. Rating: 8.
• Fiddler's Green: O.K., I know it has the
best equipped pro shop in the area. I also realize
that it is downright cheap. But I still don't like this
damned place.
To begin with, it is a par 3 course. (Leave the
woods and the long irons at home. You won't
need them.)
In the second place, every time I have played
here it has been windy as hell. And last, the place
is filled with people who wouldn't know a two
iron from Iron Maiden, so be ready to duck at all
times. Cost: $3. 75 for 9, $7 for 18. Rating: 3.
Well, there you have it. I didn't review Eugene
C.C. or Shadow Hills C.C. because they are both
private. I was at E.C.C. once, wearing a pair of
jogging shorts, and the elite their looked at me like
I was wearing a jock strap and garter belt, and
made me go home and change. It's a good thing

'88 Titans finish disappointing season at 14-22, look to '89
by Patrick Bryan
TORCH Sports Editor
The 1988 LCC baseball
team finished its season May
19 and 20 at Lane, splitting
four games with Clark College
of Vancouver, Wa.
The Titans finished at 9-15
in the NWAACC and 14-22
overall.
Lane, which stayed out of
the cellar with the wins,
blasted the Penguins 8-1 in the
first game of the doubleheader
on May 19, before dropping
the nightcap 6-4 on a two run
homer by Clark's Mike Butler.
In the opener, Lane jumped
all over Clark, getting three
runs in the third, and two runs
in both the fourth and sixth innings. Mike Parker's home
run in the third knocked in
two, and Titan's Charlie
Keady accounted for two
RBI's.
Rod Johnson threw a two
hitter at Clark for the win.
On Friday, May 20, the
Titans won a 7-6 thriller in the
opener before losing a 7-1
decision in the second match.

Stories not arra1

Even though LCC conducted its most intensive campaign ever to
pass a money measure for the college, voters rejected a new tax
base for LCC by about 5,000 votes on May 21..
Attempting to raise the college's tax base $2.1 million to $16.3
million, the LCC Advocates raised approximately $10,000 to promote a yes vote for the measure.
_ _ ,.
A
Budget is slash~
11
The Advocates is a group of campus and community volunteers
formed in spring, 1987, to promote the passage of a four-year serial
levy. It was the school's first successful money measure since 1980,
and the last time the college increased its tax base.
The college receives almost 43 percent of its general fund revenue
from local taxpayers. About 29 percent comes from the state
through reimbursible FTE. Twenty-one percent comes from tuition
and student fees, while seven percent comes from federal and other
revenue sources.
By state law, the college is allowed to raise its tax base 6 percent a
year. LCC can increase its tax base from $1.91 per assessed thousand in 1987-88 to $2.02 for 1988-89.
For the second year in a row, LCC ha

President Turner won't stay past June, 1989.
Turner to leave his post
LCC Pres. Richard Turner announced in March that he will not
ask the Board of Education to renew his contract when it expires
June, 1989.
After contacting board members individually, Turner made the
surprise announcement at the March board meeting.
He was hired by LCC in 1985 to replace the retired Eldon
Schafer, the president of LCC for 15 years.
Turner's tenure has been a stormy one at times, because of what
some critics call an "Eastern" style of management, and because
the college has had to endure over $3 million in budget cuts for the
years 1987-88 and 1988-89 due to declining enrollment and increasing cost.
USDE dispute reconciled
The college got a $497,000 monkey of its back last summer when
a dispute with the US Department of Education (USDE) was reconciled.
The USDE claimed LCC had received almost $500,000 in excess
financial aid funds for the school years 1979-82. The college interpted federal guidelines to mean that it was not required to save the
files of unfunded financial aid applicants for those years.
According to Linda Waddell, financial aid director, the process
for funding financial aid monies changed in 1981 with the Reagan
Administration. The USDE reinterpreted the regulations~ claiming
that colleges were required to store records of the unfunded applicants.
Waddell, who was hired at LCC in 1984, said the college didn't
believe it had done anything wrong. After months of correspondence, she convinced the federal government to allow the
college to use other statistical data to prove its original reports were
accurate.
Though the college lost $100,000 in financial aid money two
years in a row while Waddell and her staff worked to prepare the
statistics the DOE canceled the remaining $300,000 of the alledged
overpay~ent, and exonerated the college of any wrongdoing.

Ralph Abernathy spoke at the Hult Center during Martin Luther

The ASLCC honored Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.' s birthday by
bringing Ralph David Abernathy to the Hult Center on Jan:.15.
Over 1500 people jammed the Silva Concert Hall to hear Abernathy pay homage to his one-time best friend and close colleague.
Abernathy was in the same room as King on the tragic April 4,
1968, day in Memphis when King was shot while he stood on a
hotel balcony. King died in Abernathy's arms.
Students will pay higher tuition costs in 1988-89 for the fourth
consecutive year.
The cost of a credit hour at LCC will increase from $22 to $24.
Full-time tuition (11 credit hours or more a term) escalates to $264,
up from $242.
High School Completion and non-credit classes increase from
$35 to $37, while senior citizen rates rise from $10 to $15.
According to Jack Carter, vice president for Student Services,
the college will generate approximately $300,000 in additional
revenue from the increase.
Abernathy's speech at the Hult focused on the plight of the poor
under Ronald Reagan. He told the crowd that "They killed him
(King), but they didn't kill his dream."

Though King will never return, Abernathy said, his mission is
not forgotten, and the journey towards equal rights is shared by all.

The ASLCC, in conjunction with the campus chapter of PTK,

The declaration arose originally over concern about the lack of
evacuation plans for physically disabled students on the fourth
floor.
Because of the efforts of the two groups, evacuation plans are
now posted at key areas in the Center Building.
As part of the project, disabled students were asked to register
with the school, through ASLCC, so each student's disability
would be known in case of special needs.
President Turner, along with ASLCC members, toured the campus in wheelchairs to witness first-hand particular problems the
disabled may encounter during a normal day at LCC.

Take a Tortoise
by Sandy Little
for the TORCH
The clock hanging inside the
LTD bus stop near 13th and
Kincaid said 1:30. Since 11
a.m. I had waited for the
Green Tortoise to arrive and
sweep me up 1-5 for a $25 trip
to Seattle.
It appeared that this tortoise, like the one in my
childhood fable, was slow.
Ten minutes later the green
and white bus lumbered down
the street and pulled up next to
the curb. The driver said a flat
tire near Medford had caused
the delay, but he seemed confident he could make up the
time.
I climbed into the antiquated green diesel and dropped my bag onto one of the
two cushioned benches which
lined the front aisle. Very little
of the original interior remained. Beyond the front benches
were two carefully constructed
tables which folded out over
built-in bench seats.
The entire back end of the
H • - • H - - . . . ." ~ · · - · · · ...• • H • • · • • H - - • • H • H H. . .H ............H . .HHHHH ......
bus was a raised platform
smothered with colorful foam
sleeping pads. A collection of
denim and t-shirt clad
passengers cluttered the pads
with books, sleeping bags and
their bodies.
I sat down next to a middleaged woman who sat crosslegged on the seat, dropping
the peels from a softball-sized
orange into her lap.
''That looks good,'' I said,
thinking about lunch-time,
which had just slipped by.
"Help yourself," she
responded, pointing to a crate
of oranges fastened behind the
driver.
I snatched one up and
returned to my seat to create
my own pile of peelings.
Looking around the colorful
decor, I fixed my eyes on one
of the many posters which
hung from the front of the
bus. "Ten day journey
through Baja. Camping,
swimming,
hotsprings,
sailboarding, snorkeling.''
As the bus pulled away, Bob
Marley's "Exodus"· pulsed
from the six stereo speakers
which lined the interiorof the
bus. I closed my eyes and saw
blue water.
The Green Tortoise
organization started out with a
single
bus
running
travelers/adventurers on a
not-so-direct trip from
California to the East Coast.
The coast-to-coast excursion
and a weekly, "basic transportation" route from LA to
Seattle are still the company's
bread and butter according to
Eric Derrick, an eight-year
Tortoise employee.
Since 1974, the Green Tortoise fleet has grown to 10
buses and 25 drivers. The company also owns and operates a
private resort in Eastern
Oregon, and produce~ a paper
called "The Tortoise Trails"
about four time a year in an
''irregular and irrational manner," says Derrick. An issue is
due out sometime in June.
For 14 years, the Green Tortoise has toured the Americas,
spirited by a philosophy of
"alternative travel." Based in
San Francisco, the Tortoise
runs year-round camping
tours which include Baja,
Mexico City, Guatemala,
Alaska, British Columbia, the
New Orleans Mardi Gras, and
the Grand Canyon, to name a
few.
Flexibility is a motto of the
Tortoise, Derrick adds.
"We can't control the
weather, but we have enough
experience on the road that we
can sometimes avoid it (by
altering the route)."
The excursion buses travel
at night, allowing the
passengers to sleep.
"You wake up in the morn.........
,~,
ing at a specially selected campground or town, and you're
ready to explore. It means seeing the country from six feet
instead of 30,000."
My trip to Seattle on the
Tortoise passed pleasantly and
quickly in conversations about
travel and summer plans. Occasional sounds of opening
beer bottles, and a slight odor
of marijuana wafted from the
back of the bus, blending with
the eclectic environment.
As we pulled up to a curb
(our "bus stop") next to the
Seattle bus station, a row of
Greyhound passengers stared
blankly from a departing bus.
I thought of sardines, and
about Aesop's misguided
hare. The economy and casual
comfort of this Tortoise's slow
and steady philosophy make it
a travel experience that is hard
to beat.

TORCH Staff Writer
Are you looking for something to do with your spare
time this summer?
If you're one of those people with a fascination for
rocks and crystals, but never know where to find them,
here are some suggestions.
Since gold travels through quartz, the best places to look
for quartz crystals are in spots where gold has been found.
The Bohemia Mining District in Cottage Grove has over 20
old gold mines. Maps of Lakeside Park and the mining
area are available at the Cottage Grove City Hall.
Quartsite in Sweet Home and Blue River are well known
for areas to mine quartz.
LCC employee Beverly Glass, also known as Star, is a
part-owner of the Crystal Light Mining Company in
Eugene. She says that the best collectables to try to find in
Oregon are petrified wood, agate and jasper.
Petrified wood can be found in Sweet Home and not far
from there is a town called Holly Blue that is known for
amethyst agate. Glass says that the amethyst agate is not as
clear as amethyst crystal, but has a beautiful blue-purple
color.
Agate and jasper can be easily found out at Fall Creek
Resevoir especially, when the water is low. But if you are
really lazy and don't want to travel far at all, try looking
for fossils out on 30th Avenue right near LCC. People
have been digging them up out here for a while.
If you want to know more about where to dig and find
rocks and crystals, go to some of the local rock shops or
talk to someone at Saturday Market who sells Oregon
rocks and crystals. They probably won't reveal where their
mine is but they might give you some good advice.

TORCH Production Assistant
What's only 64 miles away and (depending
on what kind of gas hog you drive) costs under
five dollars to get to? Florence! It has
everything you could ever want to do!
Okay - head out of Eugene due west. Turn
right at Veneta, hang a louie in Elmira, another
in Mapleton, drive until your feet get wet, and
you're there.
First, let's eat some of that great coastal
seafood. Don't want to sit in a crowded
restaurant? Well, go catch it yourself. Doesn't
digging in the mud for clams or trying to put
that wriggling worm on the hook just increase
the ol' appetite? Or how about putting a dead
smelly fish in a pot to catch a few crabs.
Mmmm.
Let's go visit some of the local tourists attractions. We have Lawrence of Florence, where
you and the kids can ride a camel in the sand
dunes; Indian Forest, home of wild buffalo;
and the Sea Lion Caves, which is selfexplanatory.
And how about taking a beautiful moonlight
stroll along the beach. Grab your coat and take
the trail from Devil's Elbow State Park up to
the lighthouse for a gorgeous view of the
Pacific.
Tired yet? Well, let's make like a happy
camper and pitch that tent. You can pick a
small campground or the world famous
· H · · - - · · ~ · · •. . . . .HIN#mH•
Honeyman State Park. Climb the sand dunes,
rent a paddle-boat, or roast weenies. Just kick
back and relax -- the ranger will be by soon to
collect your money.
Did you bring your speedboat? Well, let's go
waterskiing! Forget your windsurfer? That's
okay -- you can rent one. People have even attempted to surf the tubular two foot waves on
the South Jetty.
Now that you have that awesome monster
truck all shining you can see if it actually goes
in 4-wheel drive on The Face at the South Jetty.
Bring your 3 wheeler, quads, sandrails or even
just yourself because this is quite a sight to
behold.
Miss your athletic club? Well, we do have a
gym with a pool, a tennis court, a nine-hole golf
course and the Oregon Coast Bike Trail.
If all that money is just burning a hole in
your pocket travel on down to Historic Bay
Street. You can buy gifts for all your friends
back home from the many unique shops.
And if you really miss LCC, Florence has an
LCC Siuslaw Area Center so you don't have to
be away from school for a single minute.
If you're traveling north from Florence,
allow yourself some extra time because they're
ripping up Highway 101 to make it bigger, better, and pothole-free.
Didn't get to do it all? Well, come back next
week and you can fly a kite, rent a scooter, ride
horses on the beach ...

There's a lake in the middle
of it.
Dorothy and Toto went
there for vacation.
When it was first built, the
incoming tide would back up
the drainage pipes in the lower
elevations of the town, causing
stunning fountain displays
from the toilets.
It's close, it's beautiful, and
it can be a vacation paradise.
The Emerald City -- Seattle.
No matter what you're
looking for, you can probably
find it in the city, or within ·a
1-2 hour drive. And it helps to
know what the natives do and
where they do it to get the
most out of your trip.
Seattle is especially affordable for Oregonians thanks
to a little goody called a ''Tax
Exempt Card." Pick one up at
the Washington State Department of Revenue downtown as
soon as you get there. It allows
Oregonians to purchase
"non-consumable goods''
(anything other than food,
drugs, services, etc.) without
paying the dreaded sales tax. It
is especially handy if you plan
to go ...
SHOPPING
Seattle is a shopping mecca
-- Banana Republic, Eddie
Bauer, I. Magnin. But if you
are shopping student-style, hit
the Pavillion, 17900 South
Center Parkway. OK, it's a
mall, but every store in the
center is a discount store. You
can buy anything from futons
to fedoras to new frames and
lenses. You may need them to
see where you are when you go
BICYCLING
Seattle and Eugene share the
honor of being the top two
bicycle-friendly cities in the
country. Seattle's bike route
network is huge, and unless
it's raining, biking can be the
best way to tour the city. The
ride around Lake Washington
is a perfect all-day trip. And
there's no need to let the water
stop you, either. For under
$10, you and your bicycle can
ride the ferry to one of the
many San Juan Islands in
Puget Sound.
After all that exercise, you'll
probably want to hunt down
some ...
EATS
Eclectic, down-to-earth eats
can be had at Julia's 14 Carrot
Cafe, 2305 Eastlake E. or
Cause Celebre, 524 15th E.
Both of these places have
fabulous veggie-burgers.
If you're into international
fare, try Yak's at 3424 Fremont N. You'll be served more
mouth-watering Vietnamese
delicacies than you can eat, for
less money than you can
believe. But don't blink when
you're looking for the
restaurant -- Yak's is about the
size of a closet.
Mamma's Mexican Kitchen,
2234 2d, is where Seattle's
Mexican food fanatics go for a
fix. Try a "Screamer" -- but
don't touch the plate. When
they say it's hot, they aren't
kidding around.

an old steam engine for a railtour.
V~sit some vineyards·~

Have you discovered
Oregon's wine country?
You don't have to be a connoisseur of fine wines with a
working vocabulary in
viticology to enjoy the state's
newest industry. An attitude
of interest and a willingness to
try a new experience is all you
need.
Wine touring is not just getting to the winery, drinking
several "shots," jumping in
the car and heading off to the
next winery, like tavern hopping. ·It's an enjoyment of the
trip and the surrounding environment.
You can start your trip here
in Lane County. Two
vineyards, Hinman and
Forgeron, are only 25 and 15
photo by Michael Saker
Sue Aufort of Hinman Winery displays the elements of a romantic ~vening.
The other is (food again) the
infamous Snoqualmie Falls
Lodge breakfast. Words can
not describe the multiple
courses, fruit platters, and
flair with which it is all served.
It is probably more food than
anyone will ever serve you
again in one meal, unless you
include those cruise ship pigouts. Call 888-2451 and
reserve a window seat
overlooking the falls.
Or go due north for the
European flavor of Vancouver. A meticulously clean
and beautiful city, Van~
couver's atmosphere is
somehow more relaxed than
the typical American city.
Visit Old Town and try out
some Canadian hard cider,
unavailable in the US.
But if you just want to stay
in Seattle, you'll want to take
in all the ...
SIGHTS
Alki beach in West Seattle is
a little chunk of California in
the Northwest. Surfers, sunners and skateboarders meet
there every summer to cruise
and tie up traffic.
The Underground Tours are
a great way to get to know
Seattle from the inside out.
For under $4 you'll see the city
as it was before they raised the
street level. Call 682-1511 for
reservations.
Seattle is proud of its extensive waterfront aquarium, just
down the hill from Pike Place
Market, another must see.
Just go down Pike street to the
end -- but avoid doing it in
your car. Big parking mess.
Henry's Off Broadway, 1705
E. Olive Way; a Seattle classic,
Ray's Boathouse, 6049
Seaview N. W.; or the Space
Needle Restaurant in the Seattle Center. Henry's is one of
the best restaurants in Seattle,
so be prepared to hand over
your car keys when you drive
up to the door.
Ray's is the best place in
Seattle to sip wine and watch
the sun go down. It is such an
institution that when it burned
down last year, they decided to
rebuild it exactly as it was
before the fire.
The Space Needle is a
perfect way to begin or end
your trip. The food is overpriced, but I'd wager the view
is one of the top ten in the
world. Sit back and relax, and
tour Seattle as the revolving
floor treats you to everchanging scenery. If you
prefer non-smoking, you have
to ask for it -- they don't tell
you it's available.
If you want a change of
scenery, don't hesitate to head
I could go on. Where else
can you windsurf, chat with
the seals or watch the salmon
swim upstream, all in the middle of town?
Dorothy and Toto had the
right idea.

miles away, respectively, from
Eugene. Most win er i es
welcome picnickers and allow
you to spend an hour or an
afternoon.
Forgeron Vineyard is off
Highwayl 26 andjustnorthof
Elmira. Forgeron has picnic
tables set up under the fir
trees, or you can picnic at their
newly landscaped wine terrace. If the weather turns misty, you're welcome to eat inside in the loft off the tasting
room.
After your picnic you may
decide to walk through the
vineyards and up to the crest
of the hill behind the winery
where you can see Fern Ridge
Reservoir. Barney, the
owners' 10-year-old dog will
probably go bouncing along
beside you, he likes company
and showing off his vineyards.
Don't be intimidated if you
don't know the difference between a Pinot Noir and a White
Riesling. The winemakers or
their helpers in the tasting
room will be glad to explain
the differences and nuances of
the wines.
They'll also tell you the
reason for the different shapes
and colors of the bottles. And
they can tell you whether that
bottle of wine you've been saving for a couple of years is still
good, and likely to get better
in the bottle, or whether you
should drink it now.
There are six wine regions in
Oregon: Tualatin Valley,
Yamhill County, MidWillamette Valley, Umpqua
Valley, Southern Oregon, and
the Oregon Coast. From May
to November almost every
winery hosts at least one major
event, celebration, open
house, jazz or bluegrass concert or art festival. If you are
interested in visiting Oregon's
wineries and attending any of
their functions, the Chamber
of Commerce has a free
booklet titled Discover Oregon
Wineries. The booklet lists the
Oregon wineries and their addresses, plus a calendar of
events for the 1988 season.

ASLCC
president
selects new
directors
by Alice Wheeler
TORCH Staff Writer
The new student government announced at Monday's
ASLCC meeting its selections
for Student Resource Center
Director and Communications
Director.
Lynn Johanna-Larsen will
take the position of SRC
Director and Joanna Russel
will assume the job of ASLCC
Communications Director.
All applicants for the two
positions were interviewed by
the ASLCC Cabinet and their
decision was based on a consensus vote, says ASLCC
President John Millet. He also
offered the senate a chance to
question Larsen and Russel
before they were sworn into
office.
The ASLCC President has
the final choice in the selection
of these two offices, but Millet
felt that this method of selection would help achieve group
approval.

historic houses, be sure to pick
up a free pamphlet from
WISTEC titled "Explore
Museums in Oregon, a Pocket

alphabetical list of cities and

historical houses. It gives
hours, prices, addresses and a

Going north? The Pittock
Mansion is a must see for
lovers of architecture and antiques. Built in 1914, in a
French Renaissance style and
overlooking Portland, it has
22 rooms and a freestanding
staircase.
The founder of the Oregonian, Henry L. Pittock, had
the mansion built using only
young, local craftsmen. After
the Pittocks died the house
became the property of the city of Portland.
The reconstruction committee located many of the
original craftsmen, most of
whom were still alive and going into retirement, to
reconstruct and renovate parts
of the interior that had been
damaged over the years.
If you love elegant old
houses, 15 miles east of The
Dalles in Washington State is a
museum called Maryhill. It
was a lavish estate built by
railroad magnate Samuel Hill
overlooking the Columbia
River. It was named in honor
of his wife and daughter, both
named Mary.

''There's nothing worse than mediocrity.
The world's full of mediocrity, and my
challenge is to make students feel positive
enough so that they could do anything."
Susie Morrill's life is a portrait of energy
and excellence.
As a teenager in Boston, Morrill's interest in sailing led her to compete in the
sport nationally at 13.
At 14, she was teaching sailing. In high
school, she added field hockey to her
athletic skills, touring Europe with her
school team.
Morrill enrolled in Kenyan College in
Ohio, where she worked towards a
bachelor's degree in photography. While a
student, she taught windsurfing and played
lacrosse on a national level for a Mid-West
team.
She came to Oregon to complete onefourth of a five-year Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree program.
'' I was supposed to go back to Kenyan
and finish, but I liked Oregon so much I
never went back to Ohio."
She completed the BFA at the University
of Oregon in 1983, then took a year off
from school to plant trees and gather cones
for reforestation of the Mount St. Helens
devastation site. She says she still climbs
trees to collect cones whenever there is a
good seed crop.
Morrill returned to the U of O to complete a master's degree in visual design,
specializing in photography and computer
graphics.
Until she injured her knee, Morrill
played rugby with the Eugene Housewives,
the third-best women's team in the nation.
In 1985, right after graduation, she came
to LCC as a part-time photography instructor. She continues to teach university
courses in photography and desk-top
publishing. And she teaches kids about
computers, as well.
For the last six years, she has visited
Yosemite, the ''home'.' of the late
photographer, Ansel Adams, to work with
people from all over the country in
photography workshops. Morrill assists
photography instructors with 60 students
for eight intensive days.
"It's a great chance for me to rub elbows
with people that are really working actively, and revitalize my own commitment to
the medium."
She says one of her main goals in
teaching is to excite her students about the
subject.
"I was really intrigued by the idea of
how to present material in an exciting
fashion. I think if you don't have the right
kind of spirit behind your work, it doesn't

matter if you know the material or not.''
Former students of Morrill often come
back to report the long-term effect that she
has had on their careers. She says she gets
students returning to tell her of their
shows, new jobs, and assignments.
In between her teaching commitments,
Morrill and her new husband commute to
Loraine to work on a house they're
building on their farm.
It is here that she trains for her passion
of the last year, endurance horse racing.
"It's really beautiful, and it's a great
break from all the stress of doing all these
jobs and having all these responsibilities,
just to hop on a horse and go off."
She and two other women are training
her five horses for the 30-mile cross country races held in Eastern Oregon every three
weeks.
The training is demanding. Every other
day, she rides 12 miles on the Bureau of
Land Management property next to her .
farm. "You have to get off and run a lot -you can't ask horses to run up and down
steep hills."
Morrill's best riding time is now at 30
miles in two hours. Fifty, 75, and 100-mile
races are also possible -- the Northwest
champion's 75-mile time is 7:20. And while
time is important, Morrill says "it's an endurance race. To win is to finish ."
She'd like to continue teaching and
showing her photography nationally.
''Ultimately, I'd like to have a full-time job
and become famous, but that'll take a
while."
But when it happens, Susie Morrill will
do it with excellence.
