Audrey II is back

Kitty Dukakis speaks at the U of O Law School
by Suzette Gerhart

TORCH Staff Writer

Kitty Dukakis, wife of Massachusettes Governor and
Democratic Presidential hopeful Michael Dukakis, spoke Monday to a standing room only crowd at the University of Oregon.
Her talk, sponsored by the U of O Women's Law Forum, was
brief and focused. Following up on points made by her husband
in Sunday's televised national debate, she emphasized the need
for quality affordable housing, health care for "the 37 million
Americans with no protection,'' a strengthened fight against
drugs, and equal rights for women.
Calling the debate a Dukakis victory, she said, '' Michael
Dukakis won that debate Sunday; he won it for America's
families and he won it for America's women." She added,
'' After the debate there can be no doubt which candidate stands
up for the rights of American women."
Citing her husband's position on abortion as one favorable to
women she said, "He is for a woman having the chance to make
a personal free decision and not be branded a criminal for it."
Dukakis stressed that the 1988 election is a crucial one with
several major issues at stake. She pointed out that the next president will probably have the: opponuuit 1 lO appoim Lhree or four
out of the nine Supreme Court Justices. She reminded the audience that, "the opposition is against the Equal Rights Amendment."
In 1988 women voters outnumber male voters by 10,000,000
votes according to Dukakis. She added, "Women's voices are
loud and clear, and Michael Dukakis is listening."
"In Massachusettes State Government women hold 57 percent
of professional positions," said Dukakis. "What American
women want is the chance to achieve their best, hold a good job,
and receive a wage which is a function of their talent and skills,
not a reminder of injustice.''
Asked what issues she would focus on if she becomes First
Lady, she included affordable quality housing, preservation of
green spaces, refugee resettlement, the fight against drugs, and
advocacy of the arts as among her top priorities.

Kitty Dukakis gives thumbs up before her
speech on drug abuse and womens rights.

Center Building to get new doors

Child-care offered at night

TORCH Ai;sociate Editor

TORCH Editor

By the end of fall term the
Center Building will be more
accessible for the disabled.
On Sept. 14, the LCC Board
voted
Education
of
unanimously to accept a bid of
$18,327 from Capitol City
Glass Co. of Salem to provide
and install 21 automatic door
operators.
Last year, a group of LCC
disabled student representatives urged the college to
continue improving accessibility to the campus, and
listed electric door operation as the top priority item,
says Paul Colvin, director of
Campus Services.
Colvin says three of the 21
new operators will be for
main, double-door entrances

She spoke to a standing room only crowd on
Monday, September 26.

Child-care for evening students is now available at LCC's
main campus. This service started Monday, Sept. 26.
"Child-care in the evening is important," says Jim Ellison,
dean of Evening School. He reports that many students complain that evening child-care is more difficult to find than
daytime or weekend care.
Students who want to use this service must enroll their
children for the term. The cost is $3 per child per night and there
is no drop-in service. One-third of the fee must be paid in advance on the night of enrollment
The Child Development Center, located in room 115 of the
Health Building, will be staffed to handle 20 children between
the ages of 3-to-5. "We are going to monitor enrollments during
fall term and make necessary adjustments for winter term. We
can always expand it, based on need," says Ellison.

The Center Building's electric doors receive excess wear when
used by non-disabled students.

The child-care facility will be open Monday through Thursday
from 5:45 p.m. to 8:15 p.m., targeting student-parents who will
enroll in early evening classes. A hot meal will be served to the
children.
For more information call Martha Deguisti, Clerk for the
Child Development Center, ext. 2519, from 8 a.m. to noon, or
Linda Riepe at ext. 2287, or Ellison at ext. 2360.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR======= ====

Beatin' round Bush
To the Editor:
Though he called Reagan's
overspending and welfare-forthe-rich schemes ''voodoo
economics,'' George Bush enth us i as tic ally supported
presidential policies resulting
in a federal deficit that has
more than quadrupled·in seven
years to $2.6 trillion, a massive
debt to pass on to the future
generations of Americans.
Though he was pro-choice
in the 1980 presidential cam-

paign, chameleon George converted overnight to Reagan's
anti-abortion posture and now
apparently is trying to straddle
the fence on this issue. •
Though he pretends to be a
friend of worke~s and unions,
Bush fully supported Reagan's
veto of a bill that would have
given factory employees a
mere 60 days notice on plant
closings.
Though he .faithfully parrots the official "Just Say
No" drug policy, Bush has
had close ties with drug-

dealing Contra leadership and
with General Noriega,
Panama's drug-king.
Though he claims to know
nothing of the foolish armsfor-hostages scheme, Bush attended more than 30 meetings
where the Iran arms deal was
discussed.
After the Vice-Presidential
1984 debate, Bush was criticized for misrepresenting his
position on several key issues.
Peter Teely, his press secretary
at the time and current
spokesman, told reporters,

''You can say anything you
want during a debate, and 80
million people hear it. If the
press reports that the statement was inaccurate, so what?
Maybe 200 people read it, or
2000, or 20,000."

Food for thought as you
evaluate Mr. Bush's performance during the recent
presidential debate.

The ASLCC can make your $5 go a long way
by Chris Ketchum

TORCH Staff Writer

Ever wonder what services
the $5 student fee provides?
Jay Jones, director of Student Activities, says the
1988-89 fees are budgeted by
the Associated Students of
Lane Community College
(ASLCC).
The student government officials divided the total -- approximately $109,000 this year
-- to support four different
programs: Student lD cards,
budgeted for $ I 2,196, a $683
decrease from last year; Student Legal Services, for
$24,047, a $353 decrease;
Cultural Program, $12,510, a
$3510 increase; and ASLCC
operational expenses for
$59,400, a $7730 increase from
last year.
Serene Spiker, ASLCC
treasurer, says the programs

Colvin says that the electronic door operators will
allow the disabled to open the
doors by pushing a button, but
that the doors will continue to
open manually for those who
do not require assistance.
At present, the college has
four electric doors -- two in the

booklet, sponsorship of LCC
clubs, and three quiet study
areas are just a few of the services that the money provides.
The ASLCC Cultural Program provides many different
activities throughout the year,
including guest speakers,

Center Building, and two in
the Administration Building -which operate automatically
when anyone steps on a switch
located under the door mat.
Colvin says that although
these doors work well, they get
a great deal of unnecessary
wear by people who are not
disabled. And maintenance
costs are high.
He hopes that only disabled
people will use the new electric
door openers.
Over the summer, the state

rejected LCC's request for
funding. As a result, the
Board of Education decided to
use serial levy funds approved
by voters last year for building
maintenance and equipment
replacement.
The board had originaly set
aside serial money to re-carpet
the second floor of the Administration Building. But
Colvin says board members
diverted the money to the electric door project because they
found it to be of higher priority.

Measure 5 is selective.
Cigarette smoking has been a
legal pastime for years -despite health risks -- and has
been taxed heavily. But other
legal substances which also
have serious health hazards -such as caffeine and food additives
aren't taxed.
Measure 5 is also absurd.
Why should this money fund
athletic programs? Why
couldn't it sponsor cancer
research and a better public
service campaign about the
health risks associated with
drinking and smoking?
lt's just amazing! Although
the government is well aware
of the health problems smoking may cause, it still continues to subsidize tobacco
farmers.
Before we voters impose an
added sales tax on smokers,
we should seriously consider
why our income tax dollars
already pay farmers to grow
more tobacco in the first
place!

New insurance coverage offered to LCC students

by Andy Dunn

TORCH Staff Writer

The private student health
insurance plan sold through
the LCC Student Health Service (SHS) will change this fall
in order to comply with
federal regulations prohibiting
sex Jiscrimination in education.
Maternity care is now included in the health insurance
coverage -- a change from
policies of previous years
which had offered maternity
coverage separately and for an
additional fee.
The All American Life Insurance Co. is selling two
policies to LCC students -- one
for accident coverage alone,
another for accident and illness coverage combined. Both
will pay for up to 80 percent of
covered medical services to a
maximum of $25,000, with
each claim subject to a $50
deductible.
All LCC students under 65
years of age enrolled for six or
more credit hours are eligible
for the two plans. Accidentonly insurance costs $27 per
term. The combined accident
and sickness plan has a varied
rate from $58 to $123 per
term, according to the age of
the insured students.
LCC students may also
cover their dependents for an
additional fee.
As with most health insurance, the policy does not
cover pre-existing conditions.
SHS Director Sandy Ing says
this may mean that students
who were collecting for claims
made under last year's carrier,
Student Plans Insurance, may
not be able to continue their
claims under the new plan provided by All American Life.

Ing says that three to five
students were caught in a
similar predicament during the
last change of insurance companies.
She says that LCC changed
insurance companies after the
previous policy was found to

Ing says because full maternity
coverage with the previous
company was priced ''way out
of line,'' the college contracted with the new company.
The new insurance provides
benefits up to a total of
$25,000. Coverage includes

It does not cover injuries
resulting from travel upon any
two or three wheel vehicle; eye
glass or eye refraction treatment; or dental treatment -except for injury to sound,
vital teeth. A separate dental
plan is offered through LCC.

with someone's ability to continue in school.'
be in violation of Title IX of
the Federal Code concerning
sex discrimination in education.
The regulations define
maternity disability as a
"temporary disability" requiring health insurance coverage.

hospital services and supplies,
ambulance services, and treatment by licensed physicians,
physiotherapists,
and
registered nurses.
The policy limits motor
vehicle related injuries to a
maximum of $5,000 coverage.

divorce, name changes, wills, etc .)
• Advocacy (tenant rights, welfare,
etc.)

"I think a lot of stuaents
aren't aware of how expensive
an illness can be,'' says Ing.
"Uncovered medical bills can
really interfere with someone's
ability to continue m school."
Ing says that the -All
American health care plan is

comparable to those offered
by other colleges, and says
health insurance is a good idea
for all students.
The insurance is available at
the beginning of each term,
but must purchase the insurance by Oct. 17 for fall
term coverage. They can purchase the insurance for up to
four terms. If the student buys
more than one term of insurance, coverage will remain
in effect even if the student
does not enroll in LCC classes
in later terms.

students may inquire at the

Open gym offers activities
column by Tracy Thaxton
TORCH Sports Editor

My fellow students! It is an honor and a priviledge to have this opportunity to welcome
each and every one of you to the sporting and recreational atmosphere of LCC!
I believe that the LCC Athletic Program has something to offer all students, and I will
do my best to see to it that information i~ available in regards to athletic pursuits of every
nature.
Weekly open-gym sporting activities are organized by the Athletic Department in order
to offer students access to some of the facilities and equipment available here at LCC.
These events and activities are held day and night, and all students are welcome. Take advantage of this opportunity, it just might be fun!
Whether your pleasure lies in he~vy physical work-outs, such as weight lifting or
basketball, or in the more recreational aspects of sporting such as ping pong or badminton, I will try to provide the information necessary to enable each student to participate in
these activities at the appropriate times and places. So here it is:

As an added note, all students interested in participating in the above mentioned LCC
activities must first purchase an Intramural Card. The cost is $1. Each card is good for
one term and may be renewed at the beginning of the next term. These cards may be purchased in the Intramural Office on the first floor of the Health & PE building.
As I said, I hope to find something for all of you, but if you think you might be interested in something (when does the volleyball team play next? or, What times can I stop
by the PE building for a friendly game of ping pong?) and you don't find your answers on
this page, you may contact me at ext. 2657. I may not be able to please all of the people all
of the time, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Olymp i_
cs equals pride
by Robert Ward

TORCH Staff Writer

What do Olympians Lance
Deal, Jose Luis Barbosa, Kory
Tarpenning and Craig Blanchette have in common? All
have ties to LCC.
Deal, currently an assistant
track coach at LCC, finished
17th in the preliminaries of the
hammer throw. Only 12
athletes qualified for the final.
Competing in his first international competition, Deal
threw the hammer 241-8, far
short of his personal best of
249-2. But he did have the
longest throw of the three
American hammer throwers at
the Olympics.
Barbosa, who runs for
Brazil but trains in Eugene
while attending LCC, finished
sixth in the 800 meter finals in
1:46.39. He was among the
leaders until about the last 200
meters where he appeared to
run out of gas. Paul Ereng of
Kenya won the gold with a
time of 1:43 .45.
Tarpenning, whose father is
a former track coach at LCC,
finished 10th in the pole vault.
He fai1ed to clear 18-6, a
height he has mastered many
times in the past.
He may have an excuse.
After winning the Olympic

Trials in July with a vault of
19-3 3/ 4, Tarpenning competed in European meets.
However, his poles were
crushed on the way back to
Eugene. So he was forced to
use poles he wasn't familiar
with.
Blanchette, LCC student
and world record holder in
wheelchair racing, is also comp~ing in Seoul. Results of his
races were unavailable at press
time.

Demme speaks to us on America

Moh film brings laughs

by Craig Babb
for the TORCH

In his new film Married to the Mob,
director Jonathan Demme again
celebrates American culture, society,
and individualism.
In previous films, such as Something
Wild (1987), and Melvin and Howard
(1980), Demme explored many of the
quirky aspects of American subculture. With Married to the Mob, he
once again gives us a tale which, by its
ending frames, says a lot about
America today.
In the film, Michelle Pfieffer ( The
Witches of Eastwick) plays Angela, the
wife of a New York mobster. She is
tired of her cushy life in suburban
Long Island, and asks her husband for
a divorce, to which he replies, ''Take a
couple of Valium!" Luckily for
Ang~la, hubby is soon knocked-off by
the mob boss (played to perfection by
Dean Stockwell) who has taken a fancy
to Angela, and expects her to remain a
part of the mob family.
But for Angela, this is her big chance
to get out. She takes an apartment with
her young son in Manhattan.
While all this is going on, Angela has
not been aware that she is under
surveillance by an FBI agent (played by
Matthew Modine, the star of Full
Metal Jacket) who thinks she is romantically involved with the mob boss, and
wants to use her to catch him. But our
FBI man soon falls for Angela, and
that's where the fun really begins.

The performances in the film are all
quite good, particularly Stockwell's.
His portrayal is a classic stereotype of a
gangster, and Stockwell hams it up for
all it's worth, but he does it in such a
self-parodying way that it comes-off as
fresh and natural.
Pfei(fer continues to be more interesting with each of her films, and
she is perfect as Angela: beautiful,
tough, cocky and warm-hearted.
Modine's performance lacks the innocence his character requires.
As in Something Wild, Demme
populates his film with a cavalcade of
interesting bit-players and minor
characters -- in fact, many of the actors
who played small roles in Something
Wild are back in this film.
And he pays attention to detail -- he
obviously finds pleasure in people and
faces.
These are Demme's ways of pointing
out how the little things in life are often
the most wonderful.
My one criticism of Mob is that it
may be a little too similar to Something
Wild, although it is nice to see Demme
carry-on in a familiar vein.
David Byrne's music helps to give
the film a very hip feel.
As he proved with the Talking Heads
concert film Stop Making Sense (1984),
Demme is one of America's most
gifted young directors. He can create
pure joy on the screen, and in the
cinema of the late l 980s, it's certainly a
welcome quality.
