Many LCC instructors use innovative teaching techniques. Take Psychology Instructor David Leung, for example. He's taught some classes in hallways, lounges, even in an elevator. One late-summer day he moved his Introduction to Psychology group into the open: "One of the reasons _I take my classes outside is to present psychology as a live science ... to be observed, or experienced within the real setting of daily human interactions." Something new is happening on the weekends by Diana Feldman TORCH A"oda tc Edi1,,r Did you hear the story about the student who got up, dressed quickly, gulped down breakfast, brushed his teeth, and rushed off to school -- just to be reminded it was Saturday after he arrived there? That decades-old, corny joke will become a legitimate story for an estimated 500-600 LCC students this fall. These students will be taking part in LCC's newest educational creation, Weekend College. Weekend College Dean Jim Ellison says LCC is now making Saturday classes available for people who wouldn't ordinarily be able to attend weekday classes.

"Jack" Carter, an administrator at LCC for over 21 years, was appointed by the LCC Board of Education to serve as acting president for the 1988-89 college year. Carter has worked in educa- tion in Lane County since 1954. He replaces Richard M. Turner I II, who resigned from LCC in August to become photo by Russ Sherrell Interim Pres. Jack Carter confers with Counselor Dal Haverland and Social Science Instructor Milt Madden. I I President of Nashville (Tennessee) State Technical Institute. Carter served the past 18 vears as LCC vice president for Student Services and Dean of Students. He was also the director of Student Activities. As part of an agrecmen t with the LCC Board of Education, Carter has accepted the leadership role on a temporary basis, and will not apply for the permanent position. "The board wanted somebody who would be in terested in taking on the joh for one year," Carter told the TORCH. "I had concluded sometime ago that I didn't aspire to b~ a president. ... I thoroughly enjoy what I was doing. There's enough challenge in· it. I didn't feel the need to go on." One of Carter's main concerns is voter approval or rejection of the new tax base in the November election. See Carter, Page 3 FORUMS============================================================================= Welc ome to the family ASL CC staff alrea dy in gear by John Millet by Jack Carter ASLCC Prc,idcn1 Interim Presidc111 of LCC Welcome to the learning family of Lane Community College! We're highly pleased that you decided to begin or continue your post-secondary educational experience here. We care about you and your progress, and look forward to demonstrating that again and again. Our commitment includes continuing our efforts · to make your stay as productive and satisfying as possible, in and out of the classroom. This year you'll probably read or hear about activities we'll be undertaking to strengthen already strong services. For instance, a federal Title III grant will allow us to get going on three projects: I) a computer writing lab to help interested students strengthen writing skills; 2) a program to identify students having troubles which interfere with their efforts to progress academically, and help them stay in school; and 3) development of a more sophisticated data base system so that we can get a better handle on what's happening with administrative data. You'll hear, too, about behind-the-scen es efforts to help our fine teachers tune in to ways to get information to you as effectively as possible. We want to be known for the distinctive ways we teach as well as what we teach. Of course we'll continue many break-through services, such as Classline telephone registration, the line you don't have to stand in. You can help yourself to make the most of what you'll find here. Your commitment to knuckling down to the task of studying, right from that first class, is important. Don't put it off and allow yourself to get behind. Take responsibility for helping make your outcome a successful one. Try to find time, also, to get involved in some of the student activities available. Consider student government or membership in a student dub. Take an i11teres1 in your government outside the College. The Presidential election on November 8 provides an excellent way for you to fulfill your ci1 izcnship responsibilities. LCC is on the ballot, too, with a reques1 for voter approval of an updated tax base. Its passage would permit your College to continue to operate at its present level. We think LCC is a great place to, as our advertisements proclaim, "get your career in gear." Many thousands of students have gotten their start here and gone on to find what they were searching for on the job and in life. You can too! I wish you much success. What do you get when you cross 10,000 students, a talking computer, and the telephone system? You get the audiocommunal hallucination which all LCC students experience at the beginning of each term; lovingly refered to as Classline. It's just our way of saying welcome to each and every one of you. Several weeks ago, I was sitting in my office doing presidential things -- sorting paper clips and making up colorful anecdotes -- when the phone rang. Alice Wheeler, the TORCH editor, was calling to remind me that as ASLCC President I should have a forum written and ready for publication by Sept. 7. I told her that it would be no problem. In fact, I was looking forward to writing it. That was two-good-pensand-a-yellow-l egal-pad ago. Now I think I would rather have a root canal or at the very least prostate surgery. So with the fact in mind that great things usually start small, I would like to briefly introduce you to this year's ASLCC staff. • KoLynn Dornan, who will complete her second year of studies at LCC this year, will be serving as vice president. KoLynn is carrying a double major of Speech/Buisne ss, and hopes to fulfill the re- quirements in one or both of her majors this year. Last year KoLynn served two terms as an ASLCC senator before being selected to serve as comdirector. munications KoLynn's most important function this year as vice president will be that of Grievance Officer for ASLCC. • Serene Spiker, this year's treasurer, is a newcomer to ASLCC. Serene is a performing arts major, who will be starting her second year at LCC this fall. Although she chose to spend her summer outside of the EugeneSpringfield area, she has kept up on ASLCC buisness via Ma Bell and will be back at her desk Sept. 19. • ASLCC is quite lucky to have Michael Stewart back this year for a return engagement as cultural director. In his third year at LCC, Michael is working on his second major. He brings an unusual depth of experience to his job this year, having already served one year as cultural director. • Joanna Russell, ASLCC's communication director, is a general studies major in her third year at LCC. Joanna's experience with the ASLCC is in an area of high public contact, the Student Recource Center, where she served one year as assistant SRC director and two years as bulletin board coordinator.

Wheeler TORCH Editor Welcome to the TORCH! have to say I am really glad that you picked up this firsr copy of the paper. If you think about it, this college is an amazing place. Here you can find people of all and ages different backgrounds with different goals. This is a place where people can come together to learn, share and grow. Bui often it seems people don't really notice. Perhaps I am excited about my work at the TORCH because it has made me feel that I am a part of the college: I know what's happening on campus, where to go to talk to people, and where to go for a few minutes of quiet 1ime. Most importantly, I've met other people who enjoy being here, and have made some really good friends.

After a few years of struggles I was very excited to go through the ceremonies of my graduation -- after all, it took a total of 44 years to get to that point. Unfortunately, the much longed-for day was a grave disappointment for me and my family, so I thought that I would sit down and explain. Don't get me wrong, I think that the kids who dropped out of school and then took High School Completion courses and finish should be highly regarded and congratulaied. And I do just that. On the other hand, I do think that their ceremony Carter, should be at a different time and/ or place (than the ceremony held for those receiving college certificates and degrees). The majority of them were disruptive and some, downright rude! During Congressman Peter DeFazio's speech, they had the audacity to shout him down. I think that guest speakers should be respected, not humiliated. That was my main complaint, but I do have a couple of suggestions. I presume that the speeches were designed for the graduates, not just the audience, so it would be good to be able to hear them. The noisy and disruptive teens didn't help, but I also think it would be an asset to have a speaker system aimed at the stage. I also thought that the trip from page 1 _ _ _ __ "Somehow we have to find a way to communicate to the community what contributions this institution really makes." To pass the new tax base, Carter says "We have to do more than just present to them the consequences of failing to pass it." LCC has cut $3.6 million from the budget over the past two years. Without the proposed tax base, LCC would have to mt an estimated $2.1 million from the budget over the next three years. Carter thinks that winning the tax base is a matter of "Finding the right combination of factors to capture the imagination of the voters. "It is going to take the efforts of everybody; students, staff, and board. I am cautiously optimistic. "We will continue to have our challenges, whether they are They tend to be hooked around financial or something else, finances but there's no question in my mind that this college will continue to be an excellent college ". CREDENTIALS When asked what goals he had when he first started in education back in 1954, Carter says that he just wanted to be a good teacher. He taught at both the elementary and junior high school levels in the Oakridge School District, and served as vice principal and also principal of the Oakridge JuniorCarter in 1967 Senior High. He earned his bachelor's degree in elementary education at Southern Oregon State College. Very much like many LCC students, Carter raised a family and held a job while he earned a master's degree in education from the U of 0. In 1967 Carter left Oakridge to join LCC. which was barely two years old at the time. "We weren't even on campus then. we were scattered all over the place." Another long-time administrator, Larry Romine, LCC's director of Institutional Advancement, remembers that when LCC opened in 1965, the college used over 50 different teaching sites -- including rented church basements, houses and even the old Bethel Elementary school. "You got the class schedule, then looked for the address," Romine says. "It was a fun and interesting time." Having known Carter for over 20 years, he says that Carter smiles a lot. "He has always been a people-centered person. He is very wise about how to deal with people, and he treats them very kindly." Carter himself finds LCC to be an "accepting kind of place" where almost anybody can fit in. He says "What makes this school a go9d place to be is the people. The people here have a lot of talent and it's the administrator's job to help people find a way to use those talents. "We try to do the best we can -- each and every one of us. And the result is an outstanding institution. "I've never had a job in education that I didn't like," he says. From where he stands now he will continue to work at LCC until he retires. across the stage to receive the "diploma" was too quick and impersonal. One person accross the stage at a time, and less diploma recipients (no high schoolers), would make it a special and rewarding ending for years of hard, but at the same time pleasant, struggles. Sincerely. Christie Nowack 2850 E. 21st. Ave. Eugene, OR Homo fears real To the Editor: "Homophobia" a favorite put-down by those who think homosexual behavior is quite okay. Their term, "homophobia," implies an unfound, illogical fear. But in truth, those Jears are well founded. Consider the pervasive in- fluence that society's approval of homosexuality would have on adolescents, on national health, and on the nation's economic and moral well being. Clearly, there is much to fear. Whether you consider AIDS to be God's wrath against homosexuality, "mother nature's" means of rejecting an evolutionary aberration, or simply fl'ragic happenstance, it's undeniable that homosexual practices are grossly unsanitary, disease-disposed, and a direct bodily assault. As such, homosexual behavior is on a collision course with additional AIDS mutations, or even more virulent diseases, that inevitably will further impact our humanity. Homosexuals may otherwise be nice folks, but we just can't ignore that they willfully engage in irresponsible deviant activities - activities which they demand that you must em- brace as a normal "alternative lifestyle" in your home, your church, your school, your work place, and your pocketbook. If you're not alarmed by the creeping respect accorded homosexuality, you just haven't thought through the enormous ramifications of the normalization of a deviant force in society. Fortunately, there are clear choices for you this November. For President, you can choose pro-family Bush or pro-homosexual Dukakis. Also, Oregon's Measure 8 allows us 10 repeal Goldschmidt's political payoff to the homosexuals. It's your choice. Let's raise our country's standards above sweeping acceptance of aberrant behavior. Jon Wollander 880 Brookside Dr. Eugene, OR. Ex-President Turner at Tenn. Tech, resigns early from LCC position by Alice C. Wheeler TORCH Editor Over the summer, Richard M. Turner Ill, LCC president since 1985, resigned from his post to accept a similar position at Tennessee State Institute in Nashville -- the largest two-year technical college in that state. 0 Ill Ill 0 The Tennessee State Board of Regents approved Turner's appointment on June 24, and he began his new duties on Aug. 15. Turner had originally announced in March that he would resign from his LCC post at the end of his contract in June of 1989. But it was widely known that he was actively seeking a change of assignments before that date. An LCC press release listed some of Turner's acomplishments during his three years on campus as the installation of the telephone registration system, the reorganization of the college's administration, passage of the 1987 serial levy, a $600,000 state allocation to renovate the Downtown Center, and the extensive use of computers by administrators throughout the College to reduce the volume of paper work and improve communication. Weekend, ,rompage1 ~ - - - - Main Campus and at the Downtown Center, says Ellison. Over 50 of the 76 classes scheduled by 15 departments will earn college credits. The college is making it possible for students to earn one year certificates in Sales and Marketing, and Microcomputers Information Systems. "It will probably take a person ... two years to get a one-year certificate." But, he says students could take night classes to accelerate their programs. Ellison says he is sure that, "Other certificate programs will come on line as soon as this program gets up and gets running." He states that both night school and Weekend College are offering many "core req ui rem en ts" so students can enroll in a number of classes which apply to a number of degree programs. Saturday students that all support services will be open on Saturdays such as Food Services, 10-2 p.m.; Library, 9:30-1 :30 p.m.; Admissions and Counseling will be combined and open from 9:30-1 :30 p.m. The Bookstore and Financial Services will be open only two Saturdays, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8, from 9:30-1:30 p.m. He says Lane Transit District (LTD) buses will • travel to and from the Main Campus on Saturday. "Currently, the people in Springfield will have to ride to Eugene, then transfer out (to Main Campus). But, LTD said as soon as the enrollment grows in Saturday College, they'll put Springfield on the line also. They've been very cooperative."

Wheeler TORCH As,ociate Editor A new building is scheduled to arrive on the LCC main campus at the end of September. Unlike other classrooms, this building was intentionally designed with a sleeping room. The building is a modular unit to be used by the Early Childhood Development Program. Since the 4-J School District reclaimed the classrooms LCC was leasing at Fox Hollow, the college was forced to find an alternative classroom. Paul Colvin, director of campus services, says the 1800 square foot building was specifically designed by staff members of LCC's campus services, and will house instructional staff, students, and 24 children. According to Colvin, the building contains a large activity area, a kitchenette, an office, a storage closet, restrooms, a changing room, and a sleeping room. The unit will have a gray exterior color, to blend in with the rest of the buildings on the main campus, and will be located northwest of the tennis courts. Colvin says having the classroom on campus will be more convenient for both staff and students. "The daycare is a by-product of a laboratory experience for the Childhood Education students," and "not a service," he explains. LCC will pay approximately $32,000 a year for the next three years to Pacific Mobile Leasing for the unit. TORCH Editor At its July 27 meeting, LCC Board of Education voted 6-1 to place a proposed tax base increase on the November ballot. New board member Chuck Ivey cast the lone dissenting vote. The tax base is the fixed amount of money that voters agree to pay yearly in property taxes to help cover LCC's operating costs. LCC's current base is $15,031,340. If voters approve, the new base would increase to $16,325,000, an 8. 74 percent rise. Ivey said that while he would support the efforts of the board to explain to the community the current college budget strains, he thinks another voter rejection would add to the negative attitude the voters have of LCC. The college lost voter approval of a tax base increase in a May election by less than 5000 votes. New base would avert a $1.2 Million cut over three years. The current tax base makes up 40 percent of LCC's total revenue. While taxes increase six percent annually without a vote of the public, the rest of the college's funding sources -which include state, and federal allotments, tuition and fees -- often increase at a lower percentage. And the revenue has not matched increased costs. This gap has caused LCC to make $3.6 million in cuts over the past two years. Dick Hillier, vice president for Administrative Services, reviewed for the board LCC's financial situation over the · next three years with, and, without the proposed tax base. He said LCC's operating budget for 1988-89 is approx- SPEA K TO WIN: Join the L.C.C. Speech Team! Experienced & inexper ienced speakers welcom ed.

But without the proposed tax base, Hillier said, LCC will have to cut an estimated $2.1 million from the budget over the next three years. In an interview in August, Executive Dean Larry Warford told the TORCH, "We are looking for financial stability. We want to get out of the 'cut- mode.' " But Warford said that the college has a lot of support in the community and that ''there are some really dedicated people out there who want to make it (tax base) go." He pointed to a survey taken before the May election that indicated voters did not have negative attitudes about LCC per se, but opposed increased taxes. When the voters rejected the tax base request in May, the LCC Board of Education had to implement budget cuts for the 1988-89 college year. In his report, Hillier cited a few examples of the effects of recent budget cuts. • Evening classes were reduced by 22 percent from 1986-87 to '87-88. • LCC eliminated credit German language classes. • Counseling services were cut back from a 1987-88 ratio of one counselor for every 792 students, to a ratio for 1988-89 of one to 1,140. • Media production services (audio and video taping, instructional materials, etc.) were eliminated. • Custodial staff have been reduced to the point of maintaining nearly twice the square footage than the national college average. Open house in Florence The LCC/Siuslaw Area Center is hosting a Computer Fair & Open House, on Thursday, Sept. 22. The fair will focus on ''Computers & Software for the Home and Office,'' with an emphasis on IBM, Apple, and McIntosh software and printers. Wes Doak, Oregon State Librarian, will be the guest speaker for the fair. He is slated to speak about on-line searching and the CD-ROM. Staff members will be available to discuss fall registration, counseling, and parenting services. There will be door prizes and refreshments at the open house which will run from I p.m. to 7 p.m. The Siuslaw Area Center is located at 3149 ,Oak Street in Florence. OF INTEREST ENROLLMENT INCREASE PREDICTED After a five-year decline, a small increase in enrollment is forecast this fall at LCC. The summer enrollment increased by 200 students compared to the same time last year, and applications for fall term are ahead 460 from September of 1987. College officials say that extra enrollment won't bring additional state support to the college this year, but could in the future if the turnaround continues. LCC RECEIVES GRANT The US Department of Education has awarded LCC a Title Ill grant totalling $198,680. The award is the first in what the college hopes to be a funded three-year project. The college may not use the grant to support existing operations at the college, but must be used to improve the institution. According to a college news release, the funds will be used to strengthen the college in three areas: to provide assistance in the development of a management information system for curricular and fiscal analysis and decisionmaking; to establish a Student Success Center which will focus on the needs of higher-risk students; and create a Computer Writing Lab to help students improve critical writing skills. INNOVAJOR OF THE YEAR LCC Science Instructor Thomas A. Wayne was named Innovator of the Year for 1987-88. The award, created by the League for Innovation in the Comunity College, is given annually to one individual from each of the 16 League member college districts. Wayne distinguished himself by developing a research model and integrated data base that make possible the use of information from LCC's mainframe computer to develop methods to improve student success and predict enrollment trends. For example, Wayne's system improves the ways the college can monitor student progress -- by tracking a student's grades, his/her student's retention in classes, and progress in matching degree requirements. The Science Department has also used the system to provide information to predict enrollment trends so that the department can adjust staffing assignments. GIVE YOUR BACK A BREAK Everyone knows the benefit of good posture while standing or sitting, but better posture while sleeping can be a big factor in preventing back aches, says Arthur Grehan, executive director of the American Innerspring Manufactures. In the newsletter Campus Health Watch, Grehan says better posture is achieved not so much by how one sleeps, but on what one sleeps. His association is concerned with back pain prevention. "Research has shown that the best type of bed for the back is one that maintains the spine in its normal erect position while lying in a supine position," Grehan says. When lying down, a person's spine should have a slight "S-curve" to it, just enough to slide a hand in the space between the lower back and mattress, says Campus Health Watch. Too much space indicates a mattress that is too firm. Not enough space means it is too soft. A too-soft mattress offers no support for the spine. Orthopedic surgeons chose the firm innerspring mattress as their number-one recommendation in a recent survey, says Campus Health Watch. The newsletter offers other tips for a healthy back and body: • Stand tall. Good posture is neither a relaxed, slumpedshoulder stance nor a military, shoulders-back stance. If a person stands as tall as possible, the whole weight of the body will be straight up-and-down and squarely centered over the feet. • Don't sit for long periods at a time. The cramped position assumed at a computer terminal or hunched over books is very taxing on the body. Take short breaks and stretch. And while sitting, rest both feet on a book or two. If both knees are higher than the hips, some of the stress is taken off the back. • Always stretch and warm up before exercising. Stretching exercises will help keep the body flexible and increase the range-of-motion. LTD BUS PASSES Do you ride the LTD Bus to school?

KoLynn Dornan, center, vice president of ASLC banners each department will use during "Fal When KoLynn Dornan started back to college last fall, she had every intent on majoring in business. Dornan, a full-time student, says her education is the most important part of her life right now. She says several years ago she took one term of data processing and numerous evening classes then went to work. But she realized after working for two corporations "a degree is essential not only for advancement and financial gain, but for the freedom to make bigger decisions and take more risks." "I like to be given a situation and then find a solution." She acknowledges that, "I tend to be very optimistic. I would much rather see the brighter side of the picture than the gloomy side. When somebody comes to me with a problem it's like I can always envision a better day." But by spring this same quality she thought would keep her studies limited to a career in business lead her into the Student Senate, solving student problems, debating student issues, and then becoming the communications director. By the end of May, Dornan was elected vice president of the Associated Students of LCC for 1988-1989, and is looking forward to the challenges of her position. She now knows her goals will be to work in communication, and speech in general. "It's more of a challenge for me," says Dornan. "I plan to minor in business ... but either go for a double major or aim more towards the media.'' Dornan says she loves the public relations aspect of careers and notes her father was in public relations. New Wave of Enthusiasm Dornan talks a lot about the ASLCC and student problems, but getting her to talk about herself is no easy task -- her enthusiasm for targeting and solving problems takes priority in her conversation. Dornan says 25 to 50 percent of her time and thoughts are spent on ASLCC and how to help other students. In addition to the workload on the ASLCC agenda, Dornan has several goals on her own "To Do" list which she plans to accomplish. "John (Millet, ASLCC's president) and I think a lot alike" -about solving problems, says Dornan. "Both John and I hope to create a new wave of student enthusiasm, not only for the student government but for the community at large. We saw so much (student) apathy and we saw so many different ways in which to improve on what was already going on." Dornan says to create more enthusiasm they plan to work closely with ASLCC Communications Director Joanna Russell and Student Resource Center Director Lynn Johanna-Larsen this year and try through different forms of media to "make students aware of what is going on on While Dornan's eagerness and ener, LCC problems could leave a professi< Dornan just laughs and reels-off the age jects list. • Child Care -- A mother herself, DO' the struggles many parents experience children and also attend school.

" But that is maybe a year or so off." • Po litical Issues -- Do rn an says she also p la ns to increase student awareness of issues affecting st udents . "Wh en you ' re college-age and above, you have the responsibility of being info rmed about community (even ts) as well as national." The Bright Side Although Dornan takes her responsibilities seriously, her conversations are filled with laughter. She credits her father with showing her how to see humor in tense situations. Dornan says her father had polio at age 10 and again at age 30. The second case weakened his body's defenses and later he was stricken with cancer. Although he successfully fought off the first attack, he died from a second type of cancer two years later. "My dad gave me a lot of insights," says Dornan. "He told me you should never have to yell to get your point across. He said, 'if you have a bad experience don't let it occupy your thoughts for the whole day.' In other words, try and work through it, see the humor in it if you can. "He said, 'if you can see the humor in it, even a portion of it, you had the problem half-licked because then you would surmise that it's really not that monumental and you could get on with you life." The Future Dornan says one of the projects she and Millet are planning is getting voters to update their voter registration cards if they have changed their address or moved here from out of state. "It's a privilege to be able to vote, but a lot of students overlook it. It's their community and the only changes that will take place will happen when they become involved. "That old adage of 'my vote isn't going to make a difference' has already been proven a fallacy. All it takes is a motivated and informed individual to make things happen , and that's what we're going to concentrate on." Dornan says there are a lot of different ways that a student can benefit by being aware of the issues, "such as better education or more grant monies coming into the community, " but they need it pointed out to them. It comes down to enthusias m, she ac knowledges. " We (ASLCC) have to stim ulate their minds to the issues and let them make their own decisions, but isn't that what education is all a bo ut?"
