by Diana Feldman

TORCH Associate Editor

Gesturing with his hands
and speaking through an interpreter, Sergei Leonov, president of the Institute of
Technology in Irkutsk, USSR,
spoke to about 50 students and
guests in Joe Kremers' International Relations class on
Tues., Oct. 18.
Leonov visited Eugene as a
member of the six-person
Sister City delegation from
Irkutsk, a city of 600,000 people in Siberia.
During a question/ answer
format, Leonov mention~d
several times the need for
understanding and friendship
between the peoples of the
USA and USSR.
Leonov said he brought
greetings from his college to
LCC and stated through his
interpreter, "I would like to
give my regards from the
young people from my college
to your students, and all the
success in your work and your
studies.''

'October Surprise' no trick

Radiothon raises funds in record time
by Robert Ward

TORCH Staff Writer

KLCC's annual fall Radiothon raised $65,000 in just eight and one half days, a record
amount of time, according to Development Director Paula Chan-Gallagher
And a record $5,100 was raised during a three and a half hour B1ue Plate Special program on Oct. 13, said Morning Edition Producer Tripp Sommer.
The program, hosted by Alan Siporan, played a 30 minute tape entitled ''October Surprise" in which a former policy adviser to Ronald Reagan alleges that members of the
1980 Reagan-Bush campaign committee made a secret deal with Iranian leaders to not
release the American hostages held in Iran until after the 1980 election.
The program, produced by Other America Radio, was available through a satellite listing
service which provides radio stations with selected programs.
According to Sommer, about 200 listeners called in willing to pledge money to KLCC for
a copy of the tape. Sommer said the station called Other America Radio during the Blue
Plate airing and got the OK to offer the tape as a premium.
Barbara Honiger, a policy adviser to Ronald Reagan during his first two years in office,
said her investigation into the hostage issue revealed that a secret deal was made that offered US weapons to the Iranians in exchange for the hostages' release.
Former Iranian President Bani-Sadr said he provided copies of the secret weapons contract to Other America Radio during an interview in Paris last year.
Honig er also accuses Iran-Contra defen dents Oliver North, Richard Secord, and Albert
Hakim of deliberately sabatoging the rescue attempt of the hostages in which eight
American soldiers died. She said that Secord was the chief planner of the rescue attempt,
Hakim was in charge of ground operations, and North was on the "mother ship" on the
Iranian border.
Former Reagan campaign manager and CIA head William Casey, along with Bush,
played major roles in the weapons contract, said Honiger.
''These individuals have had an arrogant contempt for the will of the American people as
expressed through the Congress ... and the laws of the United States. I know from my
years in the White House and research that this contempt for rule of law in this country
comes because these people have an erroneous belief that they are serving a higher law.''
Sommer said that copies of the tape are still available for a $35 pledge in support of the
radio station.
KLCC holds a radiothon twice yearly, once in the spring and once in the fall. While the
station receives some money from the college's general fund, it depends on listener support
to sustain its high-quality programming.

Senate approves funds
by Michael Omogrosso

TORCH Staff Writer

Previously a certified campus club, Friday Forum requested a status change to a
campus Service Organization,
at Monday's ASLCC meeting.
Senator Steve Stanford,
long time Friday Forum activist, presented the motion to
the senate. "Friday Forum
educates by bringing information to the faculty and
students." said Stanford, indicating the service orientation
of the club.
Responding to senate concerns of funding methods he
declared, ''Friday Forum will
not seek funding from the Administration,'' and will raise
funds on their own.
Stanford cited Friday
Forum's desire for credibility
on campus and need for an office space as the reason for a
status change request.
Senator Rex Jemison Jr.
questioned whether a space
would, be available should the
status change be granted.
Both ASLCC President
John Millet and Stanford
thought that some administration officials had given enough

verbal support to insure a
space once the status change
occurred.
"I would like to see Friday
Forum have their own identity
and have their own space.''
said Vice President Kolynn
Dornan (FF currently operates
from the ASLCC office area,
the senate expressed some concern about appearing closely
tied to such an issue oriented
group.)
Cultural Director Michael
Stewart questioned Friday
Forum " ... by reaching for
autonomy they may put
themselves out on an island
reservation.''
Friday Forum was changed
to a service organization status
by a unanimous vote.
In other business the Senate:
• Ratified the Karate Club
with a $50 starter donation.
• Donated $250 to the fall
KLCC Radiothon.
• Voted 8 - 3 to add an opinions and comments item to
the agenda regularly.
• Accepted Andy Harris as
Political Events Director.
• And approved $750 for
the International Coffee
Hour.

impressive figure. Obviously,
the college is well-used by its
community.
Why do so many people
come to LCC? Maybe because
it is more personal. Most people like to be someone, an individual, not just another

Advocate s working to pass ballot measure
by Alice C. Wheeler

TORCH Editor

The LCC Advocates are working hard to insure passage of
LCC's proposed Tax Base increase, Measure 20-08 in the Nov. 8
general election.
The Advocates is a college support group -- and a registered
political action committee -- that raises money to promote community awareness of LCC and of the college's financial needs.
The Advocates must report all donations to the County Elections office.
''The Advocates have been around since the early days of
LCC," says Larry Warford, executive assistant to the President.
He serves as an Advocate in his free time.

Carpenter.
Carpenter became involved with the Advocates during last
year's campaign. He has a "high regard for LCC" and he
understands that the college ''needs more money.
"We need to do a better job of getting information to them
(the voters) about who LCC serves," he says. "LCC serves a different type of student than the U of 0. We have to let the community.know what we offer them."
To gauge voters' opinions about an increased Tax Base, 20
members of the Advocates spent a Saturday afternoon in
September asking 380 area voters in four parts of the county
how they would vote on LCC's increased Tax Base.
In North and South Eugene, the Advocates interviewed 201

Although it has helped LCC in different ways over the years,
its most active campaign promoted an increased LCC Tax Base
during the primary elections in May of 1988.
"The Advocates can ask for a 'Yes' vote, which the college
can't. By state law, the college can give out information only,"
says Warford.
Part of the Advocates' campaign will include radio ads, canvassing Oct. 22 and 29, lawn signs, bumper stickers and an information newsletter.
The newsletter will tell a story with pictures -- and few words
-- to show the broad variety of LCC's student body. It will be used as a mailer and handed-out during canvassing, says Advocates Campaign Co-Chair, community member Scott

Titans spike Chemeketa, squeak by Western Oregon JV's
by-Robert Ward

TORCH Staff Writer

After losing three straight
matches, Lane's volleyball
team got back on the winning
track with two victories.
The Titans dumped the
Chemeketa Chiefs in league
action on Oct. 19, winning in
three straight games 15-4,
15-13, 15-8.
Sheila Otradovsky led the
Titans with seven kills, nine
assists, and four defensive
saves. Sam Trimnell added six
kills.
Coach Lisa Youngman said
that while the Chiefs didn't
play their best, Lane played
one of its best games of the
season.
"I was pleased with our
court flow and the way we ran
our offense. It was the first
time we took control of a
match.''

Lane took a 7-1 lead in the
first game and never looked
back. They completely
outplayed Chemeketa in every
phase of the game.
Game two proved to be the
most exciting of the_night. The
Titans fell behind 0-3 and 3-6
before rallying behind the serving of Jennifer Page to win
the game, 15-13. Page finished
the night with four service
aces.
Youngman said the Titans
have had trouble putting
teams away when they have
the lead, so she told the
players before game three to
not let up. And they didn't.
"We tend to like to be the
underdogs, but last night we
relaxed
and
played
volleyball," she said.
Lane took command early
in game three 9-4, but the
Chiefs bounced back with four

straight points to close the gap
to 9-8. But the Titans toughened up and finished the set
behind the serving of Mindi
Boyd and Candy Weischedel,
15-8.
The Titans have played the
last two weeks without one of
their leading hitters, Leslie
Snuggerud. But Youngman
said the team is getting used to
new positions.
"Our blocking has been
weak. We've had a lot of unforced errors at the net. We
need to make good passes. We
tend to block a lot of balls out
of bounds,'' she said.
The Titans are 6-3 overall
and 3-3 after the first round of
league play·. Youngman said
the Titans are ''back in the
running'' for one of two
playoff spots.
Lane vs. WOSC JV's
On Oct. 17 the Titans traveled to Monmouth to play
Western Oregon State College
JV's and came back with a five
set, come from behind victory
5-15, 13-15, 15-6, 15-9, 18-16.
There were 17 changes of serve
at match point.
The Titans were led by
Trimnell's 16 kills. Weischedel
added 12 kills and eight
blocks. Otradovsky had 28
assists.
Lane vs. Umpqua

three straight games Oct. 12 at
home to the Umpqua Timberwomen 15-9, 15-8, 15-13.
''We were playing with a
different line-up (because of
Snuggerud's injury) and some
of the girls were not used to
playing next to each other,''
says Youngman.
"We were tentative and nervous," says Youngman. "We
tried to cover for our injured
players." She says the Titans
made too many unforced errors and didn't take advantage
of the home court.
After losing the first two
games, Lane came out firedup in the third set and looked
as if they might run away with
the game, taking a 3-1 lead.
But Umpqua, riding the emotional wave that won them the
first two sets, battled back.

The teams traded points to a
7-7 tie.
Umpqua took the lead 12-8,
but the Titans mounted one
last assault to try and win a
game.
A great dig by Otradovsky
set up a kill for Trimnell, and
the Titans pulled to 9-12. Two
mishits by the Timberwomen
nudged the Titans to within
one point, and the crowd of
about 75 sensed a turnaround.
But after Otradovsky served
to tie the set at 13, Umpqua
won the next two points to
take the match in three
straight sets.
Weischedel led Lane with 14
kills and 6 stuff blocks, while
Otradovsky had 26 digs.
Lane's next home match is
Sat, Oct. 29 against Mt.
Hood. Game time is 1 p.m.

Attitude reflects a win
by Paul Morgan
TORCH Staff Writer

Confidence is running high for the 1988 Men's Cross Country
team as they prepare for the Region IV Championships Oct. 29.
Although Lane has been without at least two runners due to
injury or circumstance each week of the season, Head Coach
Kevin Meyers thinks his team has a shot at placing well.
"They've got the ability, we'll see if they're ready by then," he
said hopefully.
The Titans have run in three invitationals this season. The
first was the Clackamas Invite Oct. 1, where they placed fifth in
a field of seven. They also placed fifth at the Mt. Hood Invite
Oct. 8. Last Saturday at the Willamette Invite in Salem, Lane
runners Dave Swift and Rick Virgin finished the 10 K race with
personal bests of 26.36 min. and 27 min. respectively, said
Meyers. Craig Stinson and Joe Kimzey also ran well, he added.
Because of a tight hamstring muscle Tom Skeele, Lane's
oldest and fastest cross country runner was not able to compete
in Salem.
Meyers, second year track coach, said he hoped his runners
would be more disciplined at the Wllamette Invite. They were.
''We ended up beating Mt. Hood and Clackamas,'' he recalled.
''So things just keep rolling along.''
Which is good, because after having an off week the team will
trek to Gresham for the regionals at Mt. Hood. If Titan runners
place well there expect to see them back in Eugene for the
NWAACC Championships at Lane Nov. 12.
''These guys have their own individual goals as far as times
and placement in regionals. One of my goals is to help them get
there,'' said Meyers, who is working on a masters degree in
education at the U of 0. "As far as team goals, we want to win
region and conference.''
And if their attitude reflects how well they run, don't be surprised if they pull it off.

The TORCH

by Tracy Thaxton

TORCH Sports Editor

Under the watchful eye of
head baseball coach Bob
Foster, about 35 LCC
hopefuls were trying for positions as the LCC Titan
baseball team played its second pre-season game of the
year against the U of O scrimmage team Oct .18.
The team's first scrimmage
was played the week before
against defending league
champions Linn-Benton Community College.
According to Foster the
warm-up games are played
without umpires, uniforms,
scorecards, and generally
without publicity.
"They are just a workout
with another college," he says.
''They are open try-outs for
players who want to be on the
team during the regular spring
season."
Forty played in the first
match, 35 in the second. And
Foster hopes to cut down to
about 20 players by Feb. 1.
''Last year I liked the team a
lot,'' he says, ''but we just
didn't have the pitching. Right
now, we have good depth in
pitching -- 11 pitchers trying
out who were either all-state or
all-district in high school."
The infield is the real question mark. According to

Downtown Center remodeling near completion

by Diana Feldman

TORCH Associate Editor

A "phased move-in" has
begun on LCC' s Downtown
Center's (DTC) newly
remodeled mezzanine, ground
floor, and basement levels,
even though the remodeling
project is behind schedule, according to Paul Colvin, head
of Campus Services.
Although the remodeling
project was expected to be
finished by Sept. 1, he says the
work will be substantially
complete by mid-October. The
air handling and heating ventilation system is not yet
finished.
This is the fourth and final
remodeling for the DTC
building since the college
bought the Montgomery Ward
building. Colvin says "The
updating has been a gradual
process, and has actually
turned-out a lot cheaper to
have done it this way,'' about
half the cost of building a new
structure. The DTC, at 60,000
squari feet, is half the size of
the Center Building.

Several times the students
and Leonov shared laughter.
When a student asked
Leonov what he saw as the
biggest problems affecting the
U.S., Leonov answered, "To
elect a president, is the first
thing."
Many of his answers were
sprinkled with Russian sayings, such as "It's better to see
it once than to hear about it,''
he said, explaining his interest
in gaining objective information about the United States.
Located in Siberia, Irkutsk
experiences a climate similar
to that of Alaska's arctic
region. The city's population
is six times larger than Eugene,
with nine institutes of higher
learning. The Institute of
Technology specializes in 47
subjects, including geology,
metallurgy, limnology (the
study of lakes), air-craft and
mechanical engineering.
Kremers said both the Irkutsk Soviets and Eugenians are
famous for their environmental concerns. Because of the
extreme cold, the Soviets
realize their environment is
fragile.
Lake Baikal, the largest lake
on earth, located just outside
of Irkutsk, is 400 miles long,
15 miles wide, and one mile
deep, and holds 20 percent of
the world's fresh water. The
next deepest lake is Oregon's
Crater Lake. Twenty years ago
when Lake Baikal was becoming polluted by paper mills, a •
nationwide movement began
to stop the pollution.
'' Siberians
understand
ecology," says Kremers,
' 'recovery times are slow.''
Kremers says the Sister City
delegation was in Eugene with
the hope of gaining new ideas

culturally, as well as
technically.
In its tour of Eugene, the
Soviet delegation visited social
service agencies such as Serenity Lane to learn more about
drug and alcohol abuse treatment, says Kremers. They're
inter·ested in the problems involved in taking care of the
elderly. And they re especially interested in machine
automation, since the ·computer is not as integrated into
their daily lives as it is in this
country.
"Since they are an educational center for that part of
Soviet Russia, they are
especially interested in meeting
LCC and UO representatives," states Kremers.

Leonov says the Institute
has 20,000 students, 14,000 of
whom live in dormitories, paying approximately half a ruble
a month (about $3).
The average age is 17-21
years old, and approximately
1000 are married. The majority of those who have families
leave their children with
parents while they attend
classes. There is also a
kindergarten provided by the
college, run on a student cooperative basis.
At the end of the question/ answer session, Leonov
proclaimed.
'' I
love
students." Student Jerry Armstrong gave the president a
bouquet of white chrysanthemums, a Russian tradition.

Denali magazine
needs contributions
by Paul Morgan

TORCH Staff Writer

Have a poem burning inside? A picture that's interesting? Or how about some
powerful prose just waiting to
grace the eyes of readers?
Denali Magazine, LCC's
literary and art publication, is
the outlet. Denali is now accepting submissions for
publication.
What kind of material will
the Denali accept? "Whatever
you feel like writing, ' ' says
Editor Michael Omogrosso.
"I have sort of a backwards
way of getting submissions: if
you don' t submit, you can't
get rejected.
"Now that's sort of a horrible way to look at it, but it's
true,'' points out Omogrosso.
"If I don't see it, my staff and
I don't have a chance to say,
'Yes, we would like to use this,
No, we can't use this at all, or
well, we could use this if you
make the last stanza
stronger.''
According to Omogrosso,
one of Denali' s goals this
year is to be multi-lingual.
"Not parallel English,
Spanish, Japanese and ·so on.
But rather to have students
•who speak a language that is

native to them, write in that
language and have a translation along side of it.
"Everytime you translate,
something inherently is lost.
Since most foreign students
understand the English
language better than many
people who speak it as a native
tongue, they can read a poem
in English and have no need
for translation. But to give the
true essence of what they want
to express, it has to be written
in their native tongue.
' 'They can send a copy back
to Ma in Thailand,''
Omogrosso continues.
Another of Denali's goals is
to publish a fall issue,
something that didn't happen
fast year, says Omogrosso.
But, he explains,'' According
to some past Denali staff, it's
hard to get people to submit
works."
If you have a poem, picture,
short story or art work you
would like to submit to
Denali, submission forms can
be found outside room 479D
Center Building or at the Student Resource Center.
Deadline for submissions is
Nov. 2, and publication date is
set for Nov. 18, says
Omogrosso.

OF INTEREST
Social Science faculty on-the-road

by Kimberly Buchanan
for the TORCH

Several Social Science Department instructors have been pursuing specialized areas in their disciplines.
According to department Administrative Assistant Karen Bond, Criminal Justice Instructor Tom Hickey spent part
of the summer in Houston, TX, studying that city's method of training operators who answer 911 emergency phone
calls. The LCC Social Science Department is working with the City of Eugene Department of Public Safety on the
development of a training program for 911 operators.
Geography Instructor Joe Searl was in Mexico this summer with four other Lane instructors to produce video tapes
for use in LCC classes. And Archeology Instructor Ingrid Graham spent spring term of last year in Greece performing
research.
Bond reports that Joe Kremers, a Political Science instructor, traveled to the Soviet Union last summer. He was one
of the hosts of this week's Sister City Soviet delegation for Irkutsk.
Other instructors are involved in projects closer to home. History Instructor Milt Madden, a member of the
California-Oregon Trail Association, will take a leave of absence spring term to work with the National Parks Service. He will help locate and identify sections of the Applegate Trail, part of the pioneer trail coming to Oregon from
California.
Bond says that Sociology Instructor John Klobas will teach a class Nov. 4, 5, and 6 on Neuro-Linguistic Programming, a method of gathering, storing, accessing, proccessing and utilizing information important to effective communication.

,Several Home Ee. faculty now in Health Occupations

for the TORCH

The Health Occupations Department acquired the Early Childhood Education, Nanny, and Nutrition faculty last
year after the $1.2 million budget cut eliminated the Home Economics Department. The Science Department now
administers other Home Economics courses.
The department includes programs in nursing, dental hygiene and dental assisting, medical office assisting, and
medical transcription, and respiratory therapy.
According to Health Occupations Department Head Douglas White, in many ways the change has enhanced an
already excellent set of programs. ''Already, nursing faculty have taught classes in Early Childhood Education, and
instructors in nurtition teach classes required in nursing and hygiene,'' says White.
By acquiring the Early Childhood Education courses, the Health Occupations Department has also adopted the
Childcare Center. Last week White was planning to join the children for lunch. "But first," he said jokingly, "I'm
going to check the menu."
The new staff from Home Economics are: Cindy Bellamy, Dianah Carroll, Suzanne Curtis, Martha Degiusti,
Joann Ellingson, Georgia Fryback, Karen Hall, Maureen Hammond, Jane Katra, Don Metzler, Don Mihaloew,
Beth Naylor, Julianne Nutting, Loretta Plaa, Linda Riepe, Michell Ronning, Jean Stone, Louise Vanderford, JoAn
Walpole.
And newly hired staff members are Jan Sprague, secretary for non-nursing programs; Marybeth Wilde, part-time
secretary; and Maureen Rice, nursing instructor.

Art Department lists seven new staff

by Kari Nolen
for the TORCH

Kitty Seymour, previously the Art and Applied Design Department administrative assistant, was promoted last
spring to department Administrative Coordinator.
Seymour is taking several of the duties previously performed by Roger McAlister, who retired from the Department Chairman position last spring. "It's definitely a challenge for me," says Seymour, "since it is a new concept in
the organizational structure in the Office of Instruction. Dick Reid is now Chair of the Division of Performing Arts,
Dance, Mass Communication and Art.
Tom Rubick is the new Graphic Arts instructor and Cooperative Work Experience coordinator. Rubick has come
to LCC from the University of Oregon School of Journalism. He was a partner in Rubick and Funk, Inc. advertising agency in Eugene. The former Graphic Arts instructor, Bets Cole, resigned last spring in order to pursue an advanced degree at the U of 0.
Betsy Vander Schaaf, who has taught Art History on a part-time basis for the college during the last eight years, is
now a half-time instructor.
Other new staff are. Richard Quigley, teaching the Water Colors class; Margaret Coe-Clark, teaching Drawing;
and Rick Laurance, a former LCC student in the Art Department, now teaching the Glass Sculpture Class.
In addition, Ravitej Khalsa teaches Production for Graphic Designers; and Jim Ulrich teaches a self-support
Drawing class in the evenings.

Eugene's live comedy platform Laughline has moved from the
Black Angus to Scandals, the lounge at the KowLoon
restaurant. Shows still start at 9p.m. every Tuesday and cost $4
to see.
The acts are sponsored by KZEL radio and feature touring
comics. Scandals is a top forty music dance club that converts
nicely to a stage for one person acts.
Review
Tuesday, October 18, saw a two act show featuring the Magic
Guy from Salem, Greg Moreland, and stand up comic Steve
Marmel from Wisconsin.
Moreland and Marmel basked in the friendly atmosphere provided by the supportive Eugene audience. Moreland's comedy
routine overshadowed his magic tricks, but with pleasant results.
Low key and at ease, Moreland used hoaky tricks and audience
participation as a vehicle for rapid fire, very funny puns and
comedy of situation.
Stand-up comic Steve Marmel was anything but low key as he
confronted the audience with nearly an hour of his views on a
wide range of topics--from the NRA to Apartheid. He seemed to
run on a little too long and belabored a few too many college
campus oriented jokes, to which the primarily working class audience often failed to respond.
Moreland
After the show I talked with Moreland about his place in the
comedy business.
"Do you remember Alex on the TV show Taxi?" Moreland
asked. ''He was the only one who didn't want to be anything
else. He had no ambition to go any higher in life. Well, that's
me.
Moreland added that he had played in 48 states during the
past two years. He said that the good money was in privately
sponsored events such as small conventions or events, but that
he still enjoys playing clubs .
Next week
Tuesday~ October 25, Laughline will feature 10 year veteran,
John Stoddard, in a comedy, impersonations and music routine.
The show starts at 9 p.m. as always and patrons are advised to
come early if they want to get a seat.
Scandals is located adjacent to the KowLoon restaurant on
Centennial Blvd. near Autzen stadium.

'Punchline' delivers
by Andy Dunn

TORCH Entertainment Editor

Steve Martin once titled
an album of his, "Comedy is
Not Pretty,'' and in the new
.,··
film about struggling stand-up
comedians, "Punchline," we
see that it is not.
,?f.,_f.l
. But don't get me wrong,
,t~!i{i ·;,. . "Punchline" is a very good
~rJl~~?' :·· film. In fact, writer-director
l:?,it'~~:,•: • David Seltzer gives the au.ft~~~//. dience much more than the
;;f .'Y ·comedy they bargain for -- ineluding the failure, despera:-1]; .-·• tion; and obsessive ambition

of Tom Hanks' comic-tragic

character.
• •• •
Hanks gives a powerful performance as a man '' about to
go . up,der, '' who nonetheless
• perseveres. In this, the most

play, he is more than anything
. •·!~
,~,- ,, . .human -- vulnerable and in
.:f.\;fr/:\,\~ pain.
-~:t.r·: Sally Fields is convincing as
a daytime housewife-nighttime
comic. She adds a needed
touch of normalcy to the
twisted atmosphere of the New
York comedy bar, The Gas
Station.
The other comics in the film
seem to be used primarily as
filler. The routines themselves
are sometimes hilarious,
sometimes pathetic. The film
shows all with unflinching
detachment and a gritty
realism.

"All of our lives are funny," Hanks explains, "We're
God's animated cartoons."
This ability to laugh away
the dullness and pain of life is
the essence of comedy which
this film captures beautifully.
"Punchline" is rated Rand
is playing at Cinema World.
