TORCH Staff Writer

Post-election questions were
raised -- and answered -- about
LCC' s future at the All Campus Conference on Nov. 9.
Due to the failure of a new
tax base increase, the college
must now make a total of $2.1
million in cuts over the next
three years. The decision to be
made is where the cutbacks
will fall.
LCC Interim President Jack
Carter told the group of 120
staff members and students.
''There is not likely to be
horizontal cuts,'' in which all
departments trim percentages
from their budgets. "We will
more likely make vertical cuts.
''One of our first goals is to
look at the administration and
see if we can find any inefficiencies,'' he said.
Carter mentioned different
areas -- faculty, staff, and
classes -- that would have to be
examined during the budget
cutting process.
Social Science Instructor
Milt Madden suggested that
LCC "mothball" the Siuslaw
and Cottage Grove branches
of the college. ''What can they
(angered residents) do ... not
vote for us?" he asked, referr-

Panel to discuss Ed-Net
by Diana Feldman

TORCH Associate Editor

Ed-Net, the proposed statewide telecommunications network,
will be the first topic to be examined by LCC's Faculty Forum
on Thursday, Nov. 17.
The session is scheduled from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Room
308 of the Forum Building.
Ed-Net is a proposed statewide telecommunication network
designed to transmit video, computer data, and voice communications.
Those who promote it say, if implemented, it would be a costeffective way to broaden access to higher education, improve the
delivery of instructional materials to schools, strengthen library
services, and make governmental agencies and social service
organizations better able to conduct their important training,
education and information functions.
Supporters describe it as a network that would serve public
and independent universities, colleges, community colleges, as
well as public and private K-12 schools, business and industry,
government agencies, nonprofit community service organizations, and public, academic, and business libraries.
The Ed-Net Committee recommends the state provide an $8
million initial investment to establish Ed-Net. The governor has
placed $8 million in the State budget to be presented to the 1989
Legislature. The committee's financial analysis indicates that
with such an investment, Ed-Net can be self-supporting in its
see Ed-Net, page 3

Although the margin is smaller, once again
Lane County voters rejected an increase in
LCC's current tax base.
Ballot measure 20-08 would have increased
the present tax base by $1.3 million. It failed
58,164 against, to 54,547 in favor - a 3,617 vote
difference.
Interim President Jack Carter says the failure
of the tax base increase is not because of an
anti-LCC feeling among voters, but anti-tax increases in general.
Last May, during the primary election, the
voters rejected a tax base increase by over 5,000
votes.
In July, 1988, at the LCC Board of Education meeting, Dick Hillier presented board
members with the college's current financial
situation. Without an updated tax base LCC
would have to cut $2.1 million from the budget
over the next three years.
During the All-Campus Conference on Nov.
9, Hillier stated that these budget cuts would
now have to be made.
Board of Education members expressed their
dismay at the failure of the tax base increase at
a board meeting the night after the elections.
Larry Perry chair of the board said, ''This is
too good a place (LCC) to let go. We will provide the best programs with what we have.
Budget cuts will be done fairly and logically."
Board member Martin Lewis suggested that
the "Oregon state legislature should be picking
up more of the tab."
Chairman of the LCC Advocates and board
member Jim Pitney expressed his appreciation
of the Advocates. "They really worked
hard .... they didn't quit." The Advocates raised
over $5,500 to promote passage of the measure.
The board hopes to make the necessary
budget cuts over the next three years without
affecting the quality of education available at
LCC.

EDITO RIAL
Anger and disappointment at presidential results

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::======

by Alice C. Wheeler

TORCH Editor

I am irritated. Angry. Most
of all, I am disappointed!
Another four years of a conservative presidency is not my
idea of a good time!
The Democrats were promising to increase social services -- student aid, relief for
the homeless, and subsidized
child care were on the list. If
the government were to subsidize child care, then the care
would be safer, better planned, and much more accessible
to the thousands of us who
can't afford or find this kind
of quality care now.
Democrats promised to
eliminate or reduce many cost-

ly military programs -- like the
"Star Wars" defense research.
And Dukakis pledged to make
fighting the illegal drug trade a
top priority.
Are Americans willing to
give up a better standard of
living for a larger, deadlier
and even costlier military complex? Aren't people concerned
about our weakening educational system? Don't they care
that our government does
business with international
drug dealers?
George Bush? What kinds
of conflicts will this former
head of the CIA bring to our
country? How will he carry on
peace negotiations with the
Soviet Union? Will he continue to plunge America

deeper into debt? If he continues at Reagan's pace, this
nation will soon sink.
But don't lose faith yet. The
voters have once again elected
a Democratic majority to congress. Somewhere along the
line a balance may be created.
After all, unlike Reagan's
landslide victories over Jimmy
Carter and Walter Mondale,
this time the popular vote in
many state elections showed
only a one percent difference
between the two candidates.
How and why has our country turned so conservative? I
am at a loss to understand.
But I do have faith that
underneath the current layer
of conservative Americans,

LETT ERS TO TH E EDITO R

there is another group. A
group of Americans who are
realizing that "our" government often operates on standards that are immoral and
often illegal.
This underlayer will eventually make its voice heard,
and hopefully we will see a
complete turnaround of
American politics.
There are people who are
desperate and expecting social
change. As social pressure
mounts and people become
more oppressed something is
bound to happen.

While they're standing in the
weljare lines,
crying at the doorsteps
of those armies of salvation.
Wasting time in the unemployment lines.
Sitting around waitin' for a
promotion

Don't you know,
ta/kin' about a revolution,
sounds like a whisper.

Lyrics from Tracy Chapman's
song "Talkin' about a Revolution."

Poor people gonna rise up,
and get their share.
Poor people gonna rise up,
and take what's theirs.
'Cause finally the tables
are starting to turn.
Ta/kin' about a revolution.
Ta/kin' about a revolution.

Religion false

To the Editor:
Theologians have always used fraud, lies and subterfuge
to advance their interest. The
"Shroud of Turin" is but one
of many such examples.
Even the intelligentsia was
duped by a book, "The Apple
or the Death of Aristotle,''
falsely attributed to Aristotle.
Mary Rousseau in ''The Ap-

pie'' (Marquette University)
explains the book purported to
describe the final conversation
of Aristotle with his students.
It closely parallels Plato's
"Phaedo" which portrayed
the last hours of Socrates.
Advised to conserve his
energy, Aristotle asks for an
apple, the fragrance of which,
folk medicine believed, would
prolong life.
Aristotle praises philosophy
as the noblest occupation. The

book falsely asserts Aristotle
believed in the Creation of the
Universe and in the immortality of the soul. Unlike his
teacher, Plato, Aristotle
believed in the eternity of the
universe and in the expiration
of the "soul" at death.
''The Apple'' was an at- ·
tempt by medieval theologians
to "document" Aristotelean
support for theological views
fundamental to Christian,
Moslem and Jewish religions.

Discovered in Arabic, ca.
1000 A.O., translated into
Hebrew, then Latin, ''The Apple'' dominated philosophical
thought of Christian medieval
writers like Bonaventure,
Aquinas and Duns Scotus,
etc., at European universities
until the Enlightenment.
Oliver Leaman's studies
describe how Aristotle's works
were introduced into Europe
in translations of the commenIslamic

Scanty coverage of issues by news media
by Andy Dunn

TORCH Entertainment Editor

However loosely I am
associated with it, I am still
ashamed to be considered a
part of the U.S. news media.
Our free press, at least the
most popular forms of it, has
done little to keep U .S.
citizens aware of current
events and issues. Thus, the
presidential candidates have
been able to bask in the public
eye with little of the grilling on
hard issues that they deserve
and the public should expect. I
fear Tuesday saw the election
of a giant question mark instead of a President.
In last week's TORCH
Forum, John Millet argued
that the greatest part of the
blame for the condition of
American political process lay
with the voter-you and me. I
disagree.
I, personally, did not get
close enough to ask the candidates the specifics of how
they could possibly hope to
achieve the balanced budget
needed to ensure a viable
economic future for our country.
I could not look Bush in the
eye, and ask him about the
violent covert military action
he has supervised and how he
could possibly justify it. Nor
could I stand up and query of
him, "How are tax credits for
parents supposed to help those

third full year of operation
based on fees from member
organizations.

The committee recommends
a fee structure that will encourage organizations to
become Ed-Net members; a
$1000 annual fee is suggested
($5000 for large corporations).
In order to encourage
member organizations to offer
education and training over
the network, the committee
recommends that Ed-Net
charge low rates for video instruction. The suggested rate
to be paid by organizations
that provide programming
over the network is $40 per
hour plus 10 percent of tuition
and fees.
For
meetings
and
teleconferences that do not
charge an admission fee, the
committee recommends EdNet charge the sponsoring
organization $150 per hour: an
additional fee of 40 percent of
the gross income should be
charged for teleconferences
that require admission fees.
The seven-member panel of
experts will consist of Dave
Tilton, the planning coor-

dinator of the Oregon Office
of Education Policy and Planning; Bob Burns, associate
superintendent, Oregon
Department of Education;
Ray Lewis, a paid staff person
for the Ed-Net Committee;
and Ben Hambelton, director,
Simplot-Micro Technology
Center of Boise State University.
The other members are Ray
Prikl, director, Instructional
Support Services, Portland
Community College; Russell
Sadler, radio and television
news commentator; and
Moderator Pat John, department head of the LCC Study
Skills Department.
Last July Sadler's commentary on KVAL-TV spoke of
Ed-Net in less than glowing
terms. He called it "the biggest boondoggle'' to come
along since the educational
television fad of 25 years ago.
He says, ''The planned network has the backing of high
technology officials in private
business who see the system as
a way of training some of their
employees.''

are still an option. The failed
Nov. 8 ballot measure was a
request for a change in the tax
base.

Carter replied that although
that option had been looked at
in the past and rejected, he is
not opposed to the college examining it once again. But he
said, "In my view, that is not a
solution."

Carter said charging tuition
for classes over the 12-credit
ceiling was also a possibility.
"We' re trying to decide
whether it is better to take programs away, or to charge the
students more,'' he said.

Answering a question from
the meeting agenda, Vice
President of Administrative
Services Richard Hillier said
that over the next three fiscal
years LCC can expect cuts of
$800,000, $550,000, and
$750,000. He said the college
may be forced to cut approximately 55 positions.

Also answering a prepared
question, Jackie Belcher, vice
president of Instruction, explained the impact of Saturday

"Your school district or

You will pay for it with your

questions about just what you

I suspect you will get either an
embarassed silence or effusive
pie-in-the sky.''
He concludes, "Ed-Net promises to be a technocrat' s
toy."
The Faculty Forum has invited all LCC staff members
and students of LCC to attend, and has extended a
similar invitation to the U of

District, local school districts,
local governmental agencies,

• Reagan still goes unchallenged in the lie he
directed at the Soviet Union
when he claimed that while we
made a mistake in shooting
down an Iranian airliner, the
Soviets purposely shot down a
Korean airliner after identifying it. According to every
report published on the Soviet
incident, Reagan's statement
is a lie.
• Reagan stated that our reflagging operations in the Persian Gulf were neutral with
regard to the Iran-Iraq war.

This is easily provable as a lie,
yet the U.S. news media chose
to ignore the issue.
Ignoring the issues -- that is
what the news media does on a
consistent basis. That has
brought us a presidential campain of no substance and a
disinterested American public.
Had the public -- us -- been
more exposed to the issues and
seen the candidates forced to
grapple with these issues, then
we may have been more interested and less disillusioned
with this election. Our free
press has let us down once

tance of LCC to this area, the
college undermined itself by
omitting vital information,
and persuasive arguments,
from the voters. I hope in
future elections the college will
remedy this mistake.

TORCH Editor

Out of all the election
results, what saddens the
TORCH staff the most is the
loss of LCC' s proposed tax
base increase. We thought
voters were going to pass it
this time. But 58,164 voters
disagreed.

Certainly, I am proud of the
LCC Advocates. They worked
hard to create awareness of
LCC's importance to Lane
County's economic growth.

As we ask ourselves how the
college community could have
assured voter approval, we
need to ask one basic question.
Why was the tax base not
listed in the Voter's Pamphlet?

And LCC should continue
its efforts to gain funding
from the community. We encourage a three-year serial levy
request this spring.

Of all the items on my
ballot, the LCC tax base proposal was the only one not
listed in the Voter's Pamphlet.

This college needs to grow
... not shrink! If the Board of
Education decides to try again
at the polls this spring, the
students on this campus will be
behind the effort.

It was a foolish mistake.

Computer phobic turns fanatic in a matter of weeks
by Diana Feldman

TO RC H Associa te Editor

"If I could have avoided
it,'' says LCC student Linda
Wade, "I wouldn't be here
now . . . addicted to it.''
Wade sits in the LCC computer lab. She's talking about
her computer addiction.
It's Tuesday and she doesn't
have classes but she drove up
from Cottage Grove to work
on her computer.
In five short weeks, Wade
went from being ''the resident
computer phobic to the resident hacker," laughs Ann
Bacon, Center lab coordinator.
"My very first day of
school," admits Wade, "my
sociology teacher said, 'We're
going to do everything on
computers this year because
you people are the computer
generation.' I raised my little
hand and said, 'S'cuse me, I'm
going on 37. You must have
me confused with somebody
else. It's not my generation,
you see.' ''

His reply was: "Well, if you
don't want to work with computers, you should have gone
to college 18 years ago. You're
going to college now. So this is
your generation.''
Her class went to a one-hour
workshop at the computer lab
which, instead of alleviating
her fears, intensified them.
''The first time that computer made a noise, I jumped
up out of my seat, and my
chair went flying.'' She says
she feared that any mistake
she made would cause smoke
to come rolling out or
something to explode.
Wade says she "crawled
home.
"I would no more sit down
at a computer than I would get
into the cockpit of a 747 and
try to take that sucker off the
runway. This is high
technology stuff."
She considered hiring someone to do her work for her,
"But it just didn't work out."
So she went back to the
computer lab and asked Bacon
for additional help.

The Center Building's computer lab is where you'll find Linda Wade doing her homework or
enjoying her free time.

Bacon told Wade, "By the
end of the day you'll be helping someone.'' And Bacon
was right -- and Wade has
been helping others since then.
"It was really simple. It's
very user-friendly,'' Wade
says now, thinking back.
She'd like to see more students
take advantage of the lab.
"This gets to be kind of like
a family in here. People get
together and visit and share in-

formation.
She sees new computer
students who were like her.
"They're either too angry to
ask for assistance or they're so
resentful of being here that
they don't care to ask for
assistance. They cuss and
sweat and look totally
miserable. And it doesn't have
to be that way. I try to help
them out if I can. And I say,
'why don't you just ask?' "

Wade's first tip to anybody
wanting to use the computer
lab is to ''buy and bring your
own disc.'' She says it saves
material, confidence, time and
frustration.
It's obvious Wade is proud
of her newfound skills. "This
is like a self-discovery thing.
Something I didn't know I
could do, that I found out that
I could do. And that makes me
feel good."

pleased with what we've got,"
reveals Monty Alderson, LCC
men's basketball assistant
coach.
Rain or shine, two hours a
day, five days a week, the
team can be seen in the LCC
main gym preparing for this
year's pre-season opener in
Coos Bay on Nov. 25.
As part of that preparation,
the Titans have a series of preseason scrimmages, two of
which have already been
played.
These scrimmages are
played with official rules and
regulations, but in accordance
with league judgement, no
scores are allowed to be kept.
The first, against Western

this purpose, and Alderson
has displayed confidence in
the results they have provided
thus far.

Baptist, was played at LCC in
early November, and according to Alderson, resulted in a
good showing for the Titan
team.

"We have a very agile
team," he says. "We've been
particularly pleased with the
quickness of our guards.''

"We were very pleased with
our effort," he says, "and we
were able to compete with
their (W. Baptist) top team.
But we still have some
weaknesses we need to work
with on defense. That is
something we are going to
work very hard on this year."

Alderson says the team's
primary strength in the upcoming season will lie in its
diversity; the abilities of the
individual athletes to perform
with all-around skill in every
position and aspect of the
game.

By the time the first scrimmage was played, only 13 of
the original 17 players who
"went out" for the team remained on the squad.

"This year we have more
depth on the bench," says
Alderson, "We are happy with
our big men and with our
speed. We will be able to put a
lot more pressure on the other
team's offense."

Four players -- Harold
Michaud, Mike Surmeir, Dusty Auxier, and Don Holly -are returning sophomores.
After suffering through last
year's losing season record of
12-14, these sophomores, as
well as the incoming freshmen,
will be needing to establish
talent and team play in order
to gain the support of the campus and the community.
Scrimmages and pre-season
games are designed to serve

So, at least for basketball
fans, there just might be
something of the rainy season
to look forward to.
Students interested in seeing
the Titans perform, may ati. tend the next scrimmage,
~ which will be against George
Harold Michaud, one of the four returning sophomores, soars • Fox University. It is scheduled
skyward displaying talent and skill that the Titan team hopes to
to be played at 3 p.m. next
develop in the upcoming season.
Wednesday, Nov.16, at LCC.

Southwestern Oregon beats Lane in home finale 15-13, 14-16, 15-12, 15-7
by Robert Ward

TORCH Staff Writer

The
Titans
battled
Southwestern Oregon Community College for three close
sets Nov. 9, but lost the war in
the fourth and succumbed to
the Lakers 13-15, 16-14, 12-15
and 7-15.
Lane, playing its final home
match of the season, was led
by Sam Trimnell's 15 kills and
10 blocks, and Sheila Otradovsky's nine aces.
After losing a close first set,
the Titans fell behind in the second game 14-7. But great

team play, and numerous
saves at match point, enabled
Lane to score nine straight
points and capture the second
set 16-14.
Game three looked a lot like
game two except for the final
score. The Titans fell behind
14-9, but Lane scored two
points on Robin Matney's
serve to pull within 14-11.
Following an Otradovsky
tap to save match point, Jennifer Page served an ace to
close the gap to 14-12. But that
was as close as the Titans were
to get the rest of the night.

The fourth set started evenly, but six straight points in the
middle of the set by SWOCC
put it out of reach for the
Titans, 15-7.
The Titans are 10-5 overall,
6-4 in league as of Nov. 10.
Their final two league games
were played Nov. 11 and 12,
after this paper went to press.

Experience a wheelchair for a day
chair.'' At some point during
the month Carter will travel
about the campus via
wheelchair, as will Stewart and
other members of ASLCC.
The purpose is to draw attention to Disabled Student
Awareness Month as well as
learning first hand some of the
access problems people in
wheelchairs face. ASLCC encourages everyone to sign up
for a day in a chair and experience the day-to-day difficulties of being confined to a
wheelchair.
A person in the gallery expressed
concern
that
awareness about disabled not
be limited to persons in
wheelchairs. Disabilities also
extend from vision impairment to heart conditions.
Ren Palo, former Disabled
Awareness Club president, introduced the new president,

by Michael Omogrosso

TORCH Staff Writer

Business at the Nov. 8
ASLCC Student Senate
meeting ranged from requesting Atheistic books in the
library to aid for the Earth
Stewards' exchange program.
But it was Disabled Student
Awareness Month that created
the most discussion.
The senate officially
declared November as Disabled Student Awareness Month.
And it approved a $1000
purchase of two new
wheelchairs. The chairs will be
used by ASLCC during
Disabled Student Awareness
Month and then donated to
the Student Health Center.
According to Cultural
Director Michael Stewart,
LCC President Jack Carter
has agreed to "take to the

Fred Thorp, who outlined the
goals of the club. Thorp listed
as priorities installation of a
ramp down the north side of
the Forum Building, getting
room numbers embossed in
braille and displayed at a
height appropriate for people
in wheelchairs, and obtaining
campus maps for the seeing
impaired.
Curtis Kreklau, a disabled
student, addressed mandatory
training for the faculty and
staff on emergency evacuation
procedures for the fourth florr
of the Center Building.
Kreklau claimed only fem ales
currently have the appropriate
training. Without wishing to
offend the women, he said he
is concerned the women would
not have the strength to carry
him down four flights of
stairs, let alone others who
may also be there during an
emergency.
In other business, Andy
Harris, senator and ASLCC
political events coordinator,
announced Nov. 29 and 30 for
the Israeli and Palestinian
Forum -- a chance to learn
what both sides have to say.
Harris is looking to December
for a similar forum on the problems in South Africa.
Sen. Patrick White gave the
results of his survey on possible college divestiture of funds
from businesses associated
with apartheid.
According to White, the
students responded with 55
percent in favor of divestiture,
26 percent needing more information, and 10 percent

Earth Stewards' exchange
program was granted $200.
Steward Simone White said
one student from LCC
(herself), one from the U of 0,
and two from South Eugene
High School will join 11 other
US citizens and 15 Soviets in
Southern India the last two
weeks of December for their
Peace Trees project. She said
the project will help refoliate
this tree-poor part of India. A
similar group will go to Costa
Rica in February to do the
same.
Earth Stewards will have a
benefit at the Kestral Cafe,
Nov. 20 from 5-9 p.m. featuring Indian curry chicken tofu.
The ASLCC appropriated
$620 for the ASLCCMulticultural Open House
Nov. 23.
The senate approved a motion to purchase a $375 dictap hone machine, two
microphones and a mike
adapter bay to facilitate accurate recording of the
minutes of the senate
meetings.
Two clubs were ratified: the
College Republicans Club
and the International Club.
ASL CC officially transferred control of the on-campus
recycling program to the Campus Ministry.
And Bert Tryba requested
ASLCC investigate why there
is a lack of books of Agnostic
and Atheistic orientation in
the LCC Library. He said it is
tantamount to censorship for
this kind of information to not
be available.

Oxfamfast
scheduled
On Thursday, Nov. 17, the
ASLCC in cooperation with
OSPRIG (Oregon Students
Public Interest Research
Group) will be urging the campus community to participate
in this year's "Fast For A
World Harvest" event at
LCC.
Members of the student
government will have a table
in the cafeteria Nov. 14 - 17 to
sign up participants to fast for
all or part of a day (Nov .17)
and donate the money they
would have spent on food to
Oxfam America.
Oxfam America is a nonprofit, international agency
that funds self-help development and disaster relief in
poor nations such as Africa,
Asia, Latin America, and the
Caribbean.
There will be a broth
available in the cafeteria for
participants of the fast.
The day of fasting will end
with a Break-the-Fast dinner
at the Central Presbyterian
Church, in Eugene at 6 p.m.,
Thurs., Nov. 17.
Anyone interested in
becoming involved, or those
wanting more information

The TORCH

In a visit to LCC Nov. 2, environmental activist Lou Gold said the Siskiyou National
Forest district's current timber management
plan operates on the ''toilet principal. Nobody
seems to care ... until the toilet backs up."
Gold was in Eugene to educate people about
the importance of preserving the old-growth of
the Siskiyou National Forest. He spoke over
KLCC radio, at the U of 0, and with the
TORCH.
Applying the toilet metaphor, he told the
newspaper that the emergency will occur when
the country faces the greenhouse effect and
there is no forest left.
He explained that forest policy allows land
parcels to be offered at public auction, requiring the bidder to build all necessary roads required in harvesting the timber. He said 25 percent of the timber receipts gained from clearcutting returns to the contracting district to a
revolving management fund, providing incentive for districts to lease out acreage.
It's financially beneficial to clearcut, he said,
although environmentally it's detrimental.
The Siskiyou National Forest's 1400 plant
species provide an insurance policy against
disease and drought. But he warned that

because the forest has especially thin soil, the
growing conditions are harsh. The US Forest
Service simply should not clearcut and then
"attempt to replant it with a narrow monocrop." He said the new crop won't be as resistant as the natural forest is, to threatening
diseases and hazards.
Gold said that it would be disastrous to allow
the old growth of the Siskiyous to be clearcut.
Not only would Oregonians and Californians
lose the scenic beauty of the region, but could
lose the woodlands altogether if the new monocrop planted by the Forest Service were not
resistant to natural hazards.
Gold stressed that the thin soil and harsh
growing conditions of the region make it
necessary to leave the many natural plant
varieties intact.
"It requires a mix of land-use policies," he
concluded, which can best be accomplished by
developing a national park in the area. If wellmanaged, the park could provide revenue from
tourism while preserving the beauty and
ecosystem of the area.
It's a difficult fight for Gold, who compared
it to explaining a long-term illness to a teenager.
"If you're 16 and full of vitality, it's hard to
think that it's not going to last forever." He
maintained that the same logic can be used
when explaining the ecological needs of the
Siskiyous to someone intimately familiar with
wildlife.
"When you're sitting in the middle of what
appears to be so much bounty, so much abundance, it's hard to believe that it's not infinite."
He urged the LCC community to voice opinions regarding the future of the Siskiyou National Forest through their political spokespersons -- through district representatives, and
Gov. Neil Goldschmidt.

Biloxi Blues opens at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov.
11, in the LCC main theatre. The cast has
been rehearsing since Oct. 3 and expects to
open with a hot show and a good turnout.

He adds that everyone has been wonderful
to work with and the experience has been
"overall, very rewarding."

Mainstage Productions is a community
theatre and features actors from the surrounding area as well as from LCC. Seifert
says the emphasis at Mainstage is on professionalism.

Neil Simon's semi-autobiographical, Tony
A ward winning comedy will play Friday and
Saturday, Nov. 11, 12 and also Nov. 16 - 19.
Tickets are $6, but the show on Veteran's
Day, Friday Nov. 11, will be free to all
veter.ans.

Other cast members include LCC theatre
scholarship students Lori Galbraith as
Daisy, and Michael Sorenson and Scott
Hampton as recruits. The tough drill
sergeant character, Merwin Toomey, will be
played by Don Nau, a Eugene businessman.

Performing Arts instructor Jerry Seifert is
directing the play.
''Never have I had a cast (in which) each
actor was so uniquely correct for their
specific parts,'' says Seifert.

Tickets can be purchased at the LCC Box
office in the Performing Arts building from
9 a.m. to 1 p.m. weekdays or at Marketplace
Books in the Fifth Street Public Market.

U.O. student Phil Levinson plays the lead
role of Eugene. Levinson has a background
in stand-up comedy, acting, and debate.
"Acting is competitive," says Levinson,

'Bluebeard'
worthwhile
by Andy Dunn

TORCH Enc ertainment Editor

Kurt Vonnegut, master of
bizarre prose and bitter irony,
is back. His latest novel
Bluebeard is one of his most
cohesive, introspective books
to date.
Gone, however, is much of

In Bluebeard,
Rabo
Karabekian returns from his
minor appearance in Breakfast
of Champions. Rabo is a
71-year-old artist who no
longer paints. He, in fact, does
very little except hang around
his house and contemplate his
eventful life. Circe Berman -the proverbial houseguest that
would not leave -- cajoles
Karabekian into writing his
life story. His autobiography,

which is the form of this
novel, doubles as a diary of his
daily conflict with Ms. Berman and the rest of the world.
The tameness I described
earlier is, in fact, merely the
result of Karabekian's mild acceptance of his lot in life and
his sense of personal triumph
in surviving.
However, much of the
rebelliousness of Vonnegut's
earlier writing does surface as
Karabekian relives his earlier
days as an Abstract Expressionist artist. Most of his
friends self-destruct under the
pressures of the art movement

In the Author's Note, Vonnegut explains some of the ins pira t ion for Bluebeard.
"Grotesque prices" paid for
recent artworks have endowed
"certain sorts of human
playfulness with inappropriate
and hence distressing
seriousness." Vonnegut, and
finally
his
creation
Karabekian, seem to rebel
against this inappropriate
seriousness.

Playfulness, even in the
midst of a failed life, has been
a consistent Vonnegut theme.
However, in Bluebeard, the
characters are not playing
quite so recklessly with the
toys of self-destruction as in
his past novels. Vonnegut also
adds warmth and empathy for
his characters here, which will
make this one of his most
widely accessible novels.
