Ren Palo demonstrates how difficult getting in and out of doors in the narrow hall can be.
"This is a hallway?" questioned Jay Jones, director of Student Activities.
He stepped into the narrow corridor leading to two new office
spaces under construction on the south end of the fourth floor
of the Center Building. Jones was followed by ASLCC President, John Millet, and Ren Palo, president of the Disabled Student Advisory Club.
As Palo tried to negotiate the sharp turn into one of the offices, his wheelchair clanged against the metal studs of the
hallway's unfinished wall. After some quick jockeying, Palo
finished the turn and began the process of backing out.
Millet had approached Jones about the access problem with
the construction project. He suggested that the wall be moved to
make the hallway larger.
"That's not going to kill the office," responded Jones.
"You're right to bring this up before the wall gets done."
Paul Colvin, Head of Campus Services said in an interview
with the TORCH, that his department normally looks closely at
accessibility using an American National Standards Institute
publication geared toward the particular needs of the disabled.
Colvin said because this construction is a relatively minor project, accessi~ility may have been overlooked.
Another problem could have been, he said, that the project
was designed on a computer where what you see is not what you
get; that is, the visuals are not to scale.
Colvin claims the design has been improved to enable greater
wheelchair accessibility by recessing the office doors.
Despite this minor mishap, Palo thinks this campus has done
a lot to improve accessibility.
"What I would like to see," he said, "is this school turned into a nationa model of a barrier free campus."
Editors note: The TORCH, in conjunction with ASLCC's
Disabled Awareness Month, will run stories throughout
November focusing on the abilities, concerns, and issues facing
the disabled. Anyone with a story idea or information which
could be used to "create awareness" should stop by the TORCH
office Center 205 or call Alice Wheeler ext. 2657.
Disney World and college consider CWE arrangement
by Michael Omogrosso
TORCH Staff Writer
Want to have fun at Walt
Disney World in Orlando, FL,
earn college credit and make
money too?
Disney World's College
Recruitment Representative
Jill Jeter visited with LCC
Cooperative Work Experience
faculty members Oct. 31 to
talk about a possible arrangement between LCC and the
entertainment park.
Jeter told the audience of 40
that LCC was one of the few
colleges in the West with
which Disney World was exploring a student recruitment
program.
She said successful applicants would be required to
commit to a four-month stay
at Disney World. In addition
to working for the park, they
must complete 30 hours of
classroom instruction on their
own time in subjects such as
finance, employee relations,
and career planning.
"You come to this program
to get experience, not
money," she said.
Jeter told the audience she
would try to place students in
jobs that related to their major.
Students in communication
-- including acting, speech,
and journalism -- would be
considered for attractions
where greeting guests or
"giving spiels" are part of a
job.
She places business students
in retail sales positions where
stocking shelves attractively,
selling, and answering
customers' questions are emphasized. Hotel management
students are considered for
jobs in the Disney World
Resort operations.
She draws students from a
variety of fields for work in
fast food and full-service
restaurants.
"I'm not worried much
about resumes," Jester said.
"It is the impression students
make while talking with me
that counts."
Jeter said students successfully employed at Disney
hour workweek is not uncommon.
She stressed that Disney
World enforces a strict dress
code. "Men must be cleanshaven daily and hair can be
no lower than the collar.
Women must have hair
naturally all one color without
World earn $4.65 per hour
with a 30-hour workweek
guaranteed. Working on
holidays is usually required,
and during the peak spring
and summer seasons a 40-60
frosted tips. Earrings must be
small and unobtrusive -because employees are there to
help customers enjoy (the
park), not call attention to
themselves."
Apartment housing is
available at Vista Way near
the Vacation Kingdom. The
new apartments are coinpletely furnished, except for the
televison sets. Two bedroom
units rent for $62 person per
week, while the three bedroom
apartments are $51 per person
per week. Disney World
deducts rent from student
employees' paychecks. Each
employee is responsible for
his/her own food.
According to Jeter, Disney
World began recruiting
students for its college program in 1981 to fill a gap in
employment which the local
population could not fill.
As the theme park grew, so
did the need to increase the
areas from which the compan y
drew college students for temporary work.
Should LCC and Disney
World decide the park's college recruitment program is
mutually beneficial, Jeter will
return some time between
February and April to give a
presentation to LCC students
and to accept applications.
In a later interview, CWE
Department Head Bob Way
said LCC is the first West
Coast college to be considered
for recruitment by Disney
World. He said Disney World

Disabled accessibility improving, still ways to go

TORCH Editor
Can you imagine what it is
like to be disabled?
The
ASLCC, our student government, has for the second year
in a row, declared November
to be Disabled Student
Awareness Month. To me, this
represents a progressive and
open attitude.
Student government and the
Disabled Student Advisory
Club are working together to
make LCC students, faculty
and especially the administration more conscious of the
problems facing the alterabled on our campus. And
there are many.
I must first praise the college for its efforts thus far!
The college has lowered
emergency telephones. It has
planned Center Building
emergency evacuation stations
where disabled people would
meet in the event of an
emergency. It has repaired a
ramp. And it's about to install
new electronic door openers
on restrooms and major access
doors.
But there are so many other
Protect rivers
To the Editor:
The quality of life in Oregon
sets Oregon apart from other
states. The precious natural
resources - the land, water,
fish and the wildlife are the
primary contributors to the
livability of our beautiful
state. Ballot Measure 7 seeks
to protect portions of 11 rivers
for future generations.
This Measure adds these
rivers to the current Scenic
Waterways System, established in 1970 to protect the rivers
against certain types of dams,
in-stream mining, clearcutting on stream banks and
inappropriate streamside
development. This addition of
rivers is only 1.5 per cent of
the approximately 35,000 total
river miles in the state - a small
portion to guarantee preservation of our unique natural
heritage.

Klamath River threatens fish

problems that must be addressed.
• Courtesy: Many times I
notice that able-bodied people
on an elevator are too lazy to
get off when a disabled person
wants to get on. Often it is the
disabled person who ends up
waiting for another elevator.
• Ramps: During the winter
months the wheelchair ramps
become icy. Covering the
ramps would be an ideal but
costly solution. Why not place
handrails on the ramps that
are currently without them,
and also apply non-skid
material to the ramps?
• Emergency Evacuation:
There is still serious concern
about evacuation from the
fourth floor of the Center
Building. The college has held
training clinics for depart-
wetlands are threatened by the
Walker Creek Dam.
This
measure will not prohibit existing private uses or restrict
the use of existing water
rights. To protect the natural
state of the rivers, -inappropriate development would
not be allowed.
Recently, federal legislation
was passed to protect 40 of
Oregon's rivers; however, this
legislation does not protect all
of the rivers in Measure 7.
Both federal and state protection is preferrable. For example, federal designation provides better protection against
hydroelectric dams than state
designation, and only state
designation provides protection against in-stream mining.
We need to preserve
Oregon's natural beauty for
our future generations. A yes
vote on Measure 7 will help to
ensure this. Please vote yes on
Measure 7.

Voters to blame for American political process
forum by John Millet
ASLCC President
Students 18 - 24 are the least informed group of voters with
the lowest participation rate of any group. However, we
shouldn't feel bad because the general public doesn't fare much
better. As a whole, the American public doesn't require a great
deal of information to choose a candidate; a couple of 30-second
commercials and we're sold.
I've spent a great deal of time during the last few weeks trying
to figure out who to blame for the condition of the present
·political process. My first thought was to put the blame where it
belongs -- with the candidates. After all, it's their campaign.
They want the office so they should be obligated to let us know
where they stand and on what. I spent hours watching what
Campaign '88 billed as debates and was sadly disappointed. The

two presidential candidates handled themselves like a pair of
third grade school children who hadn't done their homework
and were intent on disrupting class. The candidates are surely, at
least partially, to blame, but what of the press and their role in
Campaign '88?
Surely the press wouldn't allow the candidates to slip the
issues without comment. Well, I was sadly mistaken! The only
issue the press was ready to cover was how their coverage had
turned into an issue. The press has decided to cover themselves
rather than, in their opinion, a pair of pretty unremarkable candidates.
Now it's time to put the greatest part of the blame where it
truly belongs: with the voter. That's right!!! You and I are to
blame for the condition of the American political process. We
set the .standards by which politicians and reporters operate. If
see Voters, page 3
ments, but only a small
number of staff and faculty
from each unit have had to attend.
All f acuity should receive
special training. And instructors should be required to tell
their classes where the nearest
emergency exits -- and disabled staging stations -- are
located.
• Bathrooms: About two
years ago the college removed
doors from toilet stalls so that
wheelchairs could pass
through. But translucent
shower curtains are not a good
substitute for doors! I'm embarrassed that disabled persons have to use the
"adjusted" stalls, while
"regular" people are allowed
privacy.
These are only a few problems that I have noticed .or
have been brought to my attention by other concerned
students.
As one way to raise
awareness about barriers to
the disabled, the ASLCC will
have two wheelchairs available
in its office (479 Center
Building) for the month of
November. Spend a day in a
wheelchair to see what it
would be like to be disabled.

Election day is this Tuesday,
Nov. 8. I believe momentum is
on LCC' s side to pass an increase in the college tax base.
The last -- and perhaps the
most important thing we can
do now -- is get out our
positive voters: students, staff
and friends.
Members of the LCC Board of Education and
Chairman and Vice-Chairman, LCC Advocates
I want to thank all in the
LCC family who began the
momentum -- people who
walked precincts, registered
students to vote, set up lawn
signs, sent Vote Yes LCC Tax
Base postcards to friends, and
contributed vital dollars to the
campaign for an increased
LCC Tax Base.
Of course, the election
won't be over until midnight,
Nov. 8. The LCC Advocates
are presently producing a second radio advertisement that
will run in the last days of the
campaign. Further, the Advocates have scheduled an additional canvass day on Saturday Nov. 5 to reach every
single, "positive precinct"
identified. Please come Satur-

If all the people in the LCC
family were to vote, I believe
we could win this election
hands-down.
Certainly, LCC constantly
proves itself through the quality of its programs and its staff.
But it can't remain strong with
further budget reductions that
would affect the very core of
LCC as we have known it for
the last 25 years.
If the budget were cut further, the county would suffer
because of LCC's decreased
ability to meet critical needs of
the community, i.e. vocational
and college transfer education
and cultural and community
services both inside and out-

Twelve LCC staff members received marketing awards
for "going beyond the call of duty in some specific way to
help LCC marketing activities,'' says Diane Dann, chair of
the Marketing Counsel.
The purpose of the awards, said Dann, "is to make these
special efforts more visible so that the staff can see the important role each member plays in helping to make LCC
more responsive and better known in the community.''
Winners of the award were:
• Ginger Yamamoto, high school relations clerk, ''For
being unfailingly cheerful and courteous and always ready
to help with LCC's efforts to welcome high school students
Donna Smith

Suzanne Tiddy

and visitors."
• Sally Grover, research secretary, "For supporting

• • Dale Bates, Bob Foster, Ed Jacobson, Gary Knapp,
Dave Loos, Kevin Meyers, Sue Thompson, Judy Ward,
Lyndell Wilken and Harland Yrairte, all from the Health
and P:E. Department, "A team of coaches who have gone
above and beyond the call of duty in raising scolarship
money and working energetically to attract and serve LCC
students!''
Dann said the staff members each received a "Go for

Jack Carter or the award nominator, with a small presentation of music, she added.

The Renaissance Room
restaurant opened its doors
Oct. 11 for this college year,
offering an affordable, fine
dining experience right here on
campus.
Both the restaurant and adjoining deli, located on the
first floor of the Center
Building, are run by students
in L.C.C.'s Culinary, Food
Service and Hospitality Program.
Willie Kealoha, an instructor in the program, calls The
Renaissance Room a "lab"
where students are in charge of
everything from ordering fresh
vegetables to designing the
menu, as well as planning,
preparing and serving foods.
There are 22 first-year
students and 12 second-year
students in the program this
term working toward one-year
certificates or two-year applied science degrees.
This fall's menu includes
freshly prepared soups, salads,
sandwiches, desserts, and new
entrees each term -- Baked
Trout, Chicken Divan, Leek
and Goat Cheese Quiche, to
name a few, priced at either $4
or $4.25.
Reservations are preferred
for the restaurant, but walkins are welcome when space is
available.
According to Kealoaha, 50
percent of the people served at
the restaurant are from outside the college. "People love
to come here," he says. And
for those at the college, it's a
whole different atmosphere
that they can slip into during
an otherwise hectic day.

Huff wins, women take second in Southern Region cross country championships
Head Coach Lyndell Wilken
agreed. ''Jennifer sat back,
ran a conservative first mile,
then moved in the second mile
and had the lead by the third.
From there she never looked
back.
''Lisa Moe was the race
leader at a mile and a half,"
she added, ''but by the second
mile, she started to struggle.''
Looking forward to the
Northwest finals, Wilken said
Lane's advantage will be
knowing the five-mile loop.
"But the problem with our
course is the new bark and
sawdust make the trail incredibly soft. So that means a
slow course, and a lot of
(runners) getting fatigued early_.,,
Wilken predicted that the
Titans would finish fourth at
the championships. "I would
say Spokane CC has to be the
favorite to win the whole
thing. I saw some of their
times. One of their girls has a
run just und~r 18 minutes,
which puts her in an entirely
different category. And they
have three others who finished
right at 19 minutes.
"If we finish any better than
fourth, I'd be real happy."

Men take first place
Katzen's
by Paul Morgan
TORCH Staff Writer
The Men's Cross Country Team focused on what they had to
do, capturing first place in the Southern Regional Championships Oct. 29 in Albany.
On the strength of Tom Skeele (2nd), Angelo Verna (3rd), and
Dave Swift (4th), the Titans cruised home with the regional
trophy and high hopes for the Nov. 12 NWAACC Championships at Lane.
All competitors took a wrong turn, reports Head Coach Kevin
Myers, and "ended up running an extra mile. Everybody else
was complaining about running six miles (instead of the regulation five) while they were running.
"This team's got a lot of character," announced Meyers." All
my guys didn't worry about it; they just went out and kept running. When they're competing they're focused on what they're
doing, not worried about wrong turns," he said proudly.
"I think Tom (Skeele) was disappointed because he didn't
win," said Head Coach Kevin Meyers. "This was his first cross
country race ever, s·o under those circumstances he did real well.
"Angelo (Verna) and Dave (Swift) did a great job. They were
only 20 seconds behind Tom," he added. "It was very encouraging to see those three guys up there."
LCC's Rick Virgin, (8th) ran his toughest race all year, said
Meyers. "He's starting to find out how fast he can really run.
The Titans are now preparing for the conference championships Nov. 12.
"Highline Community College (from Seattle) definitely is
favored," said Meyers. "We're going to need to be two steps
higher next week. It's going to be a dog-fight."

Apartheid condemned Guatemalan tells of torture, killings
at Senate meeting
by Paul Morgan
TORCH Staff Writer
by Michael Omogrosso
TORCH Staff Writer
Divestiture of college funds from pro-apartheid investments commanded most of the discussion during the
Oct. 31 ASLCC Senate meeting.
ASLCC was asked to accept a powerfully worded statement authored by ASLCC President John Millet and
brought to the senate by Cultural Director Michael
Stewart. The statement decries apartheid as white
supremacy, condemns apartheid as a crime against
humanity and demands divestiture of college monies from
investments with organizations affiliated with the proapartheid movement.
Senator Rex Jamison Jr. asked if LCC actually has
funds invested with companies associated with apartheid.
Senator Betty Doris said the ASLCC could not demand
divestiture, but only make a statement of opinion.
Two other senators were concerned that the college
might lose money through divestment.
KoLynn Dornan, ASLCC vice president said, "I sort of
resent someone who wants a quick vote on something so
important.'' She also was concerned about moving in and .
condemning institutions without further research.
Stewart emphasized, ''You either condemn apartheid,
or you don't."
The. senate tabled the proposal to gather more information on the issue of divestment.
It is considering student surveys to determine the desires
of the student body on this issue. The senate will review a
list of responsible investors and a list of investors doing
business with South Africa. Both lists will be supplied by
Millet.
The senate adopted an amendment to the by-laws, mandating affirmative action hiring policies by the ASLCC.
Stewart endorsed the proposal stating, "I think accepting affirmative action will only strengthen ASLCC and
help to bring forth a time when discrimination ceases to exist.''
The ASLCC also unanimously passed a motion to purchase 4000 pencils embossed with ''ASLCC". Senator Andy Harris said that outreach to the student body has been
good this year, but giving out pencils will be a good way to
increase the visibility of ASLCC.
Harris also told the senate that he is planning a forum to
inform students of the problems of both sides of the
Palestinian and Israeli conflict. The date for this forum
has not been set.

talks about Central America,
but nobody talks about
Guatemala. It is because our
people are afraid to denounce
the idea that people are disappearing, and also because we
don't have ties with the
media.''
Menchu predicted that if the
land problems in her country
are not "immediately resolved, there will be violent outbreaks between the people and
the government
Public
desperation is very high at this
point,''
she stressed.
"Sixty-five percen( of the fertile land in Guatemala is in the
hands of two percent of the
population.''
Of the eight million people
in the country, Menchu said,
"five million live in the
poorest, most ruined land ...
and they don't have anything
to work with.
''The landowners pay our
people as they feel,'' Menchu
said. ''They tell the people if
they want to work, the salary
of eight cents is enough. And
if they don't want it, other
people will work.
"Our people survive on

"We want to see people who
are alive again. . . alive with
peace and dignity.''
That cry for help and of
hope came from Rigoberta
Menchu, a Guatemalan Indian
exile speaking for the millions
of Guatemalans who are being
repressed by that country's
military dictatorship.
Menchu spoke to an
overflow audience of about
200 on the University of
Oregon campus Oct. 28 as part
of an 18 city tour sponsored
nationally by the Network in
Solidarity with the People of
Guatemala (NISGUA), and
locally by the Committee In
Solidarity with the Central
American People (CISCAP).
According to a CISCAP
report, Menchu fled her
homeland in 1981 after her
father, mother, and brother
were tortured and killed
because of their activities on
behalf of the Indian peasants,
who make up the majority of
the population. She has continued to denounce human
rights atrocities committed
against Guatemalan Indians
by death squads and government security forces before the
United Nations and other international forums.
On April 18, Menchu
returned to Guatemala for the
first time in seven years to test
the political climate for national reconciliation, as provided under the Central
American Peace Plan, the
report said.
"When they met us at the
airport, there were 400 soldiers
there to arrest. They (the
soldiers) didn't care if there
were officials from other
governments or who they
were. The soldiers pushed
them around, and they captured two of us from the
delegati~n.
''The reason they did this
was to intimidate the indigenous people and the
Popular Movement," she
speculated. "We were detained for seven hours, and by
7:30 p.m. there were 4,000
Guatemalans gathering in the
street, asking or demanding
that we be set free."
Menchu said the leaders of
the Popular Movement in
Guatemala are still being killed. "It is necessary and urgent
to protect the lives of our
leaders. We need international
and national support for these
organizations. We can't wait
in denouncing these human
rights violations when 500 or
600 people are massacred.
''There is a great silence
about Guatemala in the international field. Everybody

children," she sighed. "It is
very difficult to think or talk
about hunger. How long are
people going to be forced to
live in this situation?
'' In Guatemala, there are
27,000 children that die of
malnutrition every year. And
these are just the deaths
reported by parents.
"From 1981 to 1983, 427
communities were destroyed
by the military,'' claimed
Menchu. "In the last 12 years,
there have been 50,000 people
killed. The majority of them
were organizers of the people,
those that were trying to get
justice. Those who were
fighting for a piece of land,
and those that wanted to eat.
''There also existed in our
country at this time 125,000
orphans, 46,000 widows, and
40,000 people who have disappeared.
"What is the future of these
orphans?
"Who will educate them?
Who is going to guarantee that
they will be a part of the good
future of Guatemala?"
Menchu said she has doubts
about allegiance to the Central
American Peace Plan.
''When people speak of the
(plan), they talk of Nicaragua.
They say that Nicaragua
hasn't complied. Why don't
they also criticize El Salvador?
What about Guatemala, what
have they done (to comply)?"
she asked.
"We hope that you would
investigate these statistics,''
said Menchu, who is a member
of the United Representation
of the Guatemalan Opposition, "so that you can see that
we are just like your brothers
and sisters.
"To see that the arms sold
to Israel get to Guatemala,
and are going to be sold directly to Guatemala next time.
''There already has arrived
30,000 guns to Guatemala,"
she added. "The guns are leaving directly from here and not
only going to Guatemala. El
Salvador has seen so many
deaths. How much war must
Nicaragua live through . . .
How much hunger? Our
village, our world demands
respect and dignity."

chose LCC because of the col• lege' s ranking among the top
five community colleges in the
country. And, because Lane's
CWE program serves as a
model for community colleges
across the nation.
Way points out that the
CWE student earns one college credit for every 36 hours
worked. A student can acquire
12 credits a term, and apply up
to 18 credits of CWE towards
his/her degree.
Way visited Disney World

Coverup raises allegations against Bush, CIA
review by Andy Dunn
TORCH Entertainment Editor
As in 1972, a controversy
has surfaced this year about a
presidential candidate's
clandestine activities that
could lead to his impeachment.
But unlike 1972, the allegations have been documented
and coherently presented
before Americans take to the
polls.
In the film and video release
of Coverup: Behind the IranContra Affair, Americans are
presented some damning
evidence against Vice President George Bush.
Coverup, a 76-minute
documentary produced by the
Los Angeles based non-profit
organization, The Empowerment Project, explores the
issue of the Iran-Contra affair. In addition to rehashing
the issues raised in the Congressional hearings, the film
makes new allegations and
raises fundamental questions
about the role our government
should take in pursuing its
foreign policy.
Though filled with bitter
ironies and musical scores bv
the likes of Pink Floyd, Lou
Reed, Richard Elliot, and
Ruben Blades, Coverup is intended to inform rather than
entertain. It consists of interviews with former CIA
analysts, ambassadors, former
Reagan advisor Barbara
Honegger, Congressmen, and
investigative authors and
lawyers. It also contains extensive footage from both the
Iran-Contra Congressional
hearings and of the fighting
b~t~een Contras and Sand1mstas.
The specifics of Coverup are

However, the ultimate irony
is the success of this film.
Despite anticipation of an extremely limited audience and
thus limited distribution, the
film has done remarkably well
across the country. So has the

In fact, the only thing keeping Coverup from wider

make a deal not to release
hostages before the Presidential election between Jimmy
Carter and Ronald Reagan.
The hostages held in the embassy in Iran created unfavorable public opinion for
Carter, and he lost the election. The hostages were released the day of Reagan's inauguration.
• CIA Drug Running
Based on interviews with
former CIA employees, convicted drug smugglers, and
former Contra leaders, the
secret resupply operations to
the Contras involved running
guns to Central America then
running drugs back to the
United States on the return
trip. This was said to be with
the full knowledge of the CIA
men in charge of the operation
who also promised the drug
runners immunity from prosecution.
• CIA Assassination
Attempts
On May 30, 1984, a bomb
exploded at a press conference
held by a Contra leader who
was attempting to break ties
with other Contra groups and
from American support. An
American journalist died in
the explosion although the
Contra leader, Eden Pastora,
survived.
Other Americans present at
the conference believe that the
bombing was orchestrated by
the Contra leadership with the
help of American advisors.
The American journalists have
now filed suit against a
number of Contras and
American ''advisors.''
• Allegations
Coverup also alleges that
the Congressional committee
investigating the Iran-Contra
connection purposely avoided
the larger implications involved in the case. It alleges, further, that North's men were,
in fact, profiting from the
operations.
