Cultural diversities on display_
by Diana Feldman

TORCH Associate Editor

The LCC Multi-Cultural
Center and the Associated
Students of Lane Community
College (ASLCC) will be
hosting an Open House on
Nov. 23, from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m., in the lobby on the
fourth floor of the Center
Building Social Sciences section and Room 409 of the
MCC.

Although the MultiCultural Center has held Open
House in the past, Connie
Mesquita, coordinator of the
MCC says they have never
"spread out" as far as they
will this year.
The entire fourth floor will
showcase art exhibits and
costumes on the walls, and
ethnic crafts and sculptures
will be displayed on several
tables for students to view dur-

ing the Open House.
''The biggest goal I have for
the Multi-Cultural Center,"
says Mesquita, ''is promoting
global peace."
She emphasizes that education is an essential element to
accomplish that goal.
One table will be used to
display multi-cultural books
that appeal to people of all

Carter to spend day·in wheelchair
by Michael Omogrosso

TORCH Staff Writer

If you happened to be between the Center
Building and the second floor of the Administration Building on Nov. 14 at 3 p.m. you
would have seen an odd assortment of individuals in caravan to Interim President Jack
Carter's office.
Four people in wheelchairs and three A-B's
(disabled person's term for able-bodied) were
led by a visually-impaired person to Carter's office.

The purpose was to offically challenge Carter
to spend a day in a wheelchair and to present
him with a letter from ASLCC President John
Millet requesting '' ... a differently-abled
member of our faculty or staff be added as a
permanent member of the Facilities Planning
Committee.''
Carter sajd the request will be taken into consideration. He also promised to spend Nov. 21
in a wheelchair and tour the campus to better
understand the difficulties that confront people

Say 'Yes LCC'
by Alice C. Wheeler

TORCH Editor

Not to mourn but to celebrate was the
purpose of a party held in the LCC
cafeteria Wednesday Nov. 16.
Despite the failure of the LCC tax base
increase on the Nov. 8 election, over 100
people gathered in the northeast end of
the cafeteria to celebrate the campus and
community effort involved in the campaign.
Executive Dean Larry Warford, the
emcee, called the event a transition for
LCC. He said the dedication and support
of the college from the local community
made LCC such a good place.
"The LCC Advotates have worked
very hard. In two years they have raised
over $15,000 to get the word out about the
benefits of LCC.''
Jim Pitney, LCC Board of Education
member since 1975, and Chairman of the
Advocates entertained the audience with
his dry humor and gave the two campaign
co-chairs Rick Lindholm and Scott
Carpenter plaques of appreciation.
After Jack Carter, interim president,
was brought to the podium, six pall
bearers led by Father Jim Derringer(LCC
Campus Ministry), carried in a coffin.
They were "mourning the death of our
tax base." Carter said "But the mourning
is over," and the pall bearers pulled off
their robes to reveal their Say Yes LCC
tee-shirts and ran off. A few seconds later
they returned as cheerleaders and gave a
"Yes LCC" cheer with the support of the
audience.
Carter said "I have a fantasy. One I
will share. It is my hope that we will project an image that everyone benefits from
LCC whether they are students or not.
And that everyone who goes to the polls
will automatically punch in the yes hole
without a thought.''

Pres. search extended
by Alice C. Wheeler

TORCH Editor

At a special meeting on Nov. 11, the LCC Board of
Education unanimously voted to extend the time limit involved in the search for a new LCC president.
The Board now plans to have a new president on campus
by January, 1990.
• Interim President Jack Carter says the Board extended
the deadline, to "ensure a good process, involving the college and community."
Although there was some conflict over the schedule
change at the board meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 9,
Carter said the board members all seemed comfortable
with their final decision. ''They are all committed to finding the best president for the college."
Carter's term as interim president ends in the summer of
1989. In a Nov. 15 interview, he told the TORCH that if
the Board of Education were to ask him to extend his term
until a new president is hired, he would accept the offer.
He says that although he has never sought to be a college
president, he is comfortable with the temporary position
and "enjoys it most of the time."
What he seems to enjoy most is working with the people
at LCC. "There is a lot of talent on this campus," Carter
says, and that's what makes this job a challenge for him:
getting the right people involved in the right projects.
"I've never had a job that I disliked," he said.

Broaden thought process, abolish apartheid now

by Serene Spiker
ASLCC Treasurer

Apartheid. The word itself
makes a proclamation. Apartheid is an Afrikaans word
meaning separate-ness. It is
pronounced apart-hate.
Many things led to apartheid; many fears, phobias,
and fights. Although it officially began in 1948, apartheid started unofficially as
soon as the first Dutch settlers

Positive ethics
To the Editor:
In Philosophy 201 we have
been discussing ethics and
have asked ourselves, "What
is this world coming to?" My
experiences of the past two
weeks would lead me to
answer that, at least at Lane
Community College, some
very positive ethical standards
prevail, and our world is doing
just fine, thank you .
Two weeks ago I lost my
brand new copy of The
Odyssey. I hadn't even
bothered to inscribe my name
inside the cover. Despite this
negligence, the book was turned in to Security, where I
found it a few days later.
This week I lost my rain
jacket somewhere between
Yoga and Aerobics. Wonder
of wonders, I found it in the
Physical Education office.
Thank you to all the kind
people who have returned my
lost articles. I shall try to be
more responsible in the future.

Plan guaranteed
To the Editor:
I have a proposal for the
Bush administration that
should make America most
popular with the world in
general and the disenfranchised South Africans in par-

arrived in South Africa in
1652. The country they came
to settle was inhabited by
various indigenous communities. When the settlers
moved inland this meant the
displacement of black people
from their territory -- a key
element of apartheid.

The Afrikaners felt that
claiming ownership of land
was no different than owning
"the air we breathe, or the
ticular.
It is estimated that when the
black population in the United
States stood at 20 million, an
extra three million individuals
were passing as whites. Now
that the black population
stands at 30 million, there
might be as many as 4.5
million people passing as
white. If a substantial portion
of those Afro-Americans who
are presently passing for
white, together with a substantial portion of those AfroAmericans who could pass for
white, but elect not to, collaborated with the Bush administration in a move to
assist the forces of democracy
in South Africa, our popularity in the world might rival our
popularity when the United
States defeated Nazi Germany.
Here is my plan: AfroAmericans who look white
could be hired by the CIA as
special agents who would then
emigrate to the Union of
South Africa, posing as
whites. As soon as they had in-.
filtrated the white schools,
government departments,
residential areas, armed
forces, police ranks, and electorate, they could reveal their
true identities, thus endangering themselves and justifying
an invasion by the United
States, toppling the Afrikaner
regime, and bringing about
legitimate democracy in South
Africa, similar to the way the
Reagan administration toppled the government of
Granada.

Maybe it's a coincidence, or
maybe a vicious trick played
by mother nature. But at the

settling the Americas.

pride and dignity eliminated

a choice. Do we wish the same

Pray for cure
To the Editor:
The ravages of diabetes are
of special concern to many
people in the country, as one
person in 20 is stricken with
this disease and its serious consequences, and no one knows
whose family will be hurt next.
Many have donated money
over the years and much
research has gone into finding
a cure -- but nothing really
positive has come out of it
since the discovery of insulin,
which controls but does not
cure.
A grassroots movement
began this summer in Omaha,
NE, and is sweeping the nation
to declare Nov. 20, I988 an Interdenominational Day of
Prayer to call upon God with a
united voice and pray in churches and synagogues, prayer
groups, and individually that a
cure for diabetes might be
granted to our research people.
The help of concerned individuals in your community is
desperately needed to get the
word out to friends and
relatives in other areas that
they might urge their churches

the African nations? Scattered
reservations and an account in
the federal reserve are all in
the United States set aside to
amend with heritages buried
in blood.

These crimes against
humanity will stop only when
we unite and work together as
a global family. Categorizing
people by race; color, or
religion strips them of their
dignity. Each of us is a unique
or synagogues, relatives, and
friends to participate.
Remember, it is strictly a grass
roots movement with no central organization which relies
on the help of many concerned
individuals. Please clip this
letter and send it to others to
help spread the word of Nov.
20, 1988, Prayer Day for the
cure of diabetes.
Help us to spread the word-and join the many people from
coast to coast on Nov. 20 and
pray for a Cure for Diabetes!
Sincerely,

Senate votes for divestment of funds
by Paul Morgan

TORCH Staff Writer

In a unanimous vote at the Nov. 14 meeting, the ASLCC accepted a policy amendment to the bylaws to demand divestment
of college funds from pro-apartheid investments.
The policy, which was tabled two weeks ago because of the
need for more investigation, demands divestiture of college
funds from institutions with direct economic and non-economic
involvement in South Africa. The motion was written by
ASLCC President John Millet and brought to the senate by
Cultural Director Mike Stewart.
Millet explained. "It is our money. There are student funds
i_nvolved ... this is a moral imperative.
"This is part of a long-range plan," he added. "We can make
people aware of South African investment, but we need to start
with this college first.''
In other actions, the ASLCC appointed Jeff Christensen,
high school cqmpletion student, to the Senate.

The TORCH

The ASLCC also ratified a two-year contract to turn the
recycling program over to the Campus Ministry. A similar but
less complete contract was vetoed by Millet earlier in the week.
The contract calls for Treasurer Serene Spiker to look over
checks sent from Weyerhaeuser Company for recyclable paper,
and make sure the Campus Ministry is complying with the contract.
The ASLCC also voted to give a $50 start-up fee to the Disabled Advisory Club Fund, and agreed to allot no more than $200
for a disabled media event event Nov. 21.
Other actions in the ASLCC meeting:
• The ASLCC agreed to allocate $3000 for more counter
space in the Student Resource Center.
• A scheduled Israeli-Palestinean forum was announced by
Senator Andy Harris for Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. in Forum 308.
• Stewart announced a Multi-Cultural Center-ASLCC Open
House on the fourth floor of the Center Building. The event will
. include singers, dancers, artwork, and food.
• No more than $70 was set aside for the purchase of a
microphone and headset for transcribing minutes.

New day-care center for Childhood Development
by Diana Feldman

TORCH Associate Editor

You might see a young
woman zig-zagging through
the corridors carrying trays of
snacks to the activity rooms,
another young woman carrying an infant to the changing
room, and another person
leading a group of toddlers to
wash their hands.
Welcome to the new LCC
Modular Infant-Toddler
Childcare Unit. It's a busy
place.
Head Instructor Louise
Vanderford surveys the activities and answers questions
from the assistants and
caregivers who staff the new
modular unit.
The 1800 square-foot unit
was designed by staff members
of LCC's Campus Services
and houses instructional staff,
students and 24 children, says
Paul Colvin, director of Campus Services. The building
contains one large activity
room divided into two areas
for infants and toddlers, a kitchenette, a changing room, a
sleeping room, an office,
restrooms, and a storage
room.
The modular unit is used by

the Early Childhood Development Program. The college
was forced to find an alternative classroom when the 4-J
School District reclaimed the
classrooms LCC was leasing at
Fox Hollow.
"Fox Hollow was roomy,"
says Vanderford, "but this is
more organized with the
(separate) kitchen, changing
room, and divided activity
areas."
Over the sink in the kitchen,
child-size toothbrushes
dangle, neat and orderly, on a
long, thin strip of molding,
identified by each child's
name. On the opposite wall
manilla folders hold a chart of
each infant's eating, sleeping,
and changing habits.
Vanderford says the toddlers have a routine of activities, but the caregivers "try
to meet the particular
schedules and plan a curriculum according to (the infants') individual development."
While the children sleep,
Vanderford says the caregivers
and assistant~ are busy working. ''They have a strict
routine of sanitizing toys and
surfaces every day." And for

the toddler section of the Modular Unit.

health reasons, all the
caregivers must wear disposable gloves while changing the
children.
Safety is also a priority.
Four of the eight rooms have
fire extinguishers. Built-in
smoke detectors and battery
operated lights are other standard safety features.
Colvin says the modular
unit "has built-in one hour
fire resistant materials that
retard a fire." The unit also
has an adequate number of exits, and "panic bars" rather
than door knobs, so "there
would be no trouble getting
out."
At $96,000, Colvin says the
"costs aren't too dissimilar
when you look at what houses
cost at 1800 square feet.'' He
says the costs of fire resistant
construction, hardware (panic
door bars and locks at $450
apiece), special plumbing fixtures, central heating and air
conditioning definitely cost
more than they would for a
private dwelling.
According to Colvin the
money for the project came
out of the Capital Assets
Fund. LCC will pay Pacific
Mobile Leasing, the low bidder, $32,000 for three years.
The day-care is a by-product
of a laboratory experience for
the Childhood Education
students and not a service, explains Colvin.
According to Martha De
Giusti, clerk of the Child
Development Center, both
students and community
members can take advantage
of the day-care. There is a
waiting list and it can be
anywhere from eight to twelve
months long. De Giusti says
the reason for that is "LCC
has the reputation as being one
of the best (day-care centers)
in the city."
Dianah Carroll, lead
caregiver in the Toddler Section, says she prefers being on
campus. "The communication
is better" with parents and the

Israeli-Palestinian forum set
by Alice C. Wheeler

TORCH Editor

Most Americans have heard of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but do not understand it.
To help make the issues clearer, ASLCC Senator and Political Events Coordinator Andy
Harris, has planned two events to create community awareness of the problems between the
Israeli and Palestinian people.
• A panel discussion is planned for Tuesday, Nov. 29, at 7 p.m. in the Forum Building,
Room 308.
• On Wed., Nov. 30, Elham Elbarghouty, _a Palestinian activist and a former LCC
student who is currently enrolled at the U of 0, will give a presentation on the problems in
Palestine at 3 p.m. in room 420 Center Building.
Members of the Nov. 29 panel are Elbarghouty; Tzvi Lachman, an LCC Training
Specialist who has lived in Israel; Rabbi Hanan Sills, a member of the U of O Jewish Student
Union who worked with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; and Dr. Munir Katul, a local doctor
who is working to better Israeli and Palestinian relations. Joe Kremers, political science instructm: at LCC. will serve as panel moderator.
Each member· of the panel -will speak, interact with other panel members, and answer
questions from the audience.
"I think one of the main problems is that most Americans are uninformed of the situation
between Israel and Palestine," says Harris.
"I think it is important for both sides to come together. If they can't agree, they should at
least respect each other and see the other side's point of view. Only then will the door open
for peace.''

vations on how men would
react to a woman learning
mechanics, but after the first
couple of classes she said she
felt accepted. "There's
nothing down there a woman
can't do," said Carpenter. In
fact, she says, women are at an
advantage in the automotive
area. '' A shop-owner in town
came in looking for a woman
to re build transmissions
because women's hands tend
to be smaller and more dexterous," said Carpenter.
She went on to say," If
seven people apply, equally
qualified, for a job and one is
a woman, the government requires the woman to be
hired."
When asked how the public
might respond to a woman
mechanic, Carpenter said
Eugene has an all-woman
automotive shop on West 11th
Street and there is no problem
keeping busy.
Noble said when she came
to Eugene she was a stained
glass artist with no woodworking skills. She wanted to build
her own frames for the stained
glass, so she enrolled in an
LCC woodworking class. Noble discovered the cabinet
making program and completed a two year degree.
''The first year I had lots of

Ca rte r

dreams about bloo_d ,"said Noble to emphasize that some of
the machinery is very intimidating.
She looked for work, unsucessfully, after graduating.
"Local shop owners were just
beginning to hire women to do
the menial tasks like sanding,
but the recession hit," Noble
said., "And then I had a job
offer from LCC to substitute
teach." Noble has been
teaching here five years and
was the sole instructor for last
year's summer program.
Noble says there are 30 to
40 women enrolled in the
credit woodworking and
cabinetry programs, and there
is a 50/ 50 ratio of men to
women in the Adult Education
classes.
Paulson asks women to give
feedback to the Women's
Center on the Brown Bag
Talks. She is particularly interested in ideas for future
talks -- for discussions or lectures about issues that are of
concern to campus members.

Madden to identify and map Applegate Trail
by Kimberly Buchanan

The OCTA says its legislation committee expects little or
no opposition to the legislation passage, and they expect
it to be signed into law later
this year. According to the
OCTA, this will clearly create
a need for identifying and
mapping the Applegate Trail.

for the TORCH

Next spring, students interested in Oregon immigrant

APPLEGATE TRAIL

Old Trail, Alternate Trail

The Applegate Trail, named
for party expedition leader
Jesse
Applegate,
was
developed in 1846 as an alternate route to the Oregon Trail.
The Oregon Trail begins at
Independence Square in
Western Missouri, spans 2,000
miles northwest across Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming,
Idaho, and Oregon and ends
in Oregon City.
However, in the 1840s when
the trail was first used, immigrants were required to raft
down the treacherous Columbia River from the Oregon
Trail at The Dalles in order to
reach the Northern Willamette
Valley.
But the Applegate Trail was
another option.

Oregon follows the OregonCalifornia Trail, which cuts
off south from the Oregon
Trail at the fork of the Snake
and Raft rivers near Ft. Hall,
ID, before it branches north to
Oregon in Nevada.

From there, the trail crosses
the Cascade Mountains to the
Rogue Valley, then follows the
Willamette Valley north to
Rickreall, near Salem.

It dips southwest and
follows the Humboldt River
across the desert of Northern
Nevada, then turns northwest,
crosses the Northwestern corner of California and enters
Southern Oregon on the
southwest side of Lower
Klamath Lake.

Madden explains that the
trail is difficult to identify
because most of it is now
covered with trees and foliage
or has otherwise deteriorated
due to time, weather, and
civilization.

Tests 'place' students
by Lori Harrison
for the TORCH

The LCC Testing and Counseling Office administered nearly
10,000 placement tests from July 1, 1987, to Oct. 31, 1988:
Students took 4,545 writing tests and 5,217 math placement
tests.
The two tests are required for students enrolling at LCC with
no previous college credits. And a third test for reading is required of students who score below the writing test standard.
"These tests are fairly accurate in determining at what level a
student should be placed" in writing and math courses, says
Marilyn Pepple, LCC testing supervisor. She says LCC examined the research on these tests and found them reasonably accurate in placing the students in classes best suited for them.
From July, 1987, ·to July, 1988, LCC administered over
12,000 tests. In addition to math and writing tests were vocational interest tests, optional to all students, which help determine what fields students should consider for major study. The
tests help identify interests and values, says Pepple.
Since July, 1987, LCC students have taken 1136 interest tests.
Students may contact a counselor and request the interest test.
The cost is between $3 and $6, depending on the type of test the
student and counselor determine to be appropriate. These exams
range from interest and values tests to those assessing the
amount of time that a student intends to stay in college, and the
kind of degree or training program which seems to match the
student's interests.
Pepple says when the counselor receives the test results,
he/she contacts the student and helps interpret the findings.
"If a student should receive the results without a counselor's
advice, he or she would not know how to decipher the meaning
of it," says Pepple. She says the college considers it important
for a student to involve his or her counselor in career-making
decisions.
"If any students have any questions on any of these tests they
should consult with a counselor and then come in and see us in
the Testing Office. Sometimes our tests help the students find
the career that is best suited for them,'' Pepple says.

Finding and Mapping
the Route

He will be in charge of mapping the portion of the Applegate Trail from the south
side of Goose Lake in Northeastern California to the
Rickreall area of Northern
Oregon.

At the Applegate Trail site,
Madden will record data about
the condition of the route, the
location of surviving wagon
wheel ruts, historic sites, and
land ownership -- entering the
data on a copy of a US
Geological
Survey
topographic map.
He says he'll talk to people
in the area to find out more
about the local history, then
find the trail itself section-bysection and write down the
specific location.
The OCT A is sponsoring
legislation which will place the
Applegate Trail along with the
California Trail and Pony Express Trail systems under the
National Historic Trails Act.

Madden says the OCT A encouraged him to apply for a
historical sabbatical leave for
the project because of his
background and knowledge of
the Oregon Trail. He has spent
15 years exploring and researching that trail through his
own collection of 264 pioneer
diaries and those owned by the
Oregon. Historical Society.
LCC people interested in
seeing part of the Applegate
Trail are actually very close to
a portion of the route.
"Many people aren't aware
that part of the Applegate
Trail is right here in EugeneSpringfield, near the Sunny
Station on Franklin Boulevard
and Interstate 5.'' Madden
says the site is identified with a
commemorative marker.

Adversity.
Sometimes it seemed as if
the men's cross country team
was climbing a mountain too
steep to reach the top. But
they still managed to achieve
their goals this season by
finishing third in the Northwest Athletic Association of
Community Colleges Championships Nov. 12, at Lane.
Lane compiled a team score
of 118 points to finish third
behind Highline Community
College, who crushed their
opponents with 19 points by
placing seven runners in the
top ten. Spokane finished se-

cond with with 84 points.
''Third is where we expected
to finish," said Head Coach
Kevin Meyers. "One of our
goals was to finish first in
region and third in conference.
We had to overcome a lot, but
we did it."
Tom Skeele, a 35 year-old
freshman, was the top Titan
finisher in 12th place with a
time of 27:44.9.
"My foot's not bad, just a
little stiff," gasped Skeele,
who twisted his ankle twice in
the Region IV meet two weeks
ago.

"Dave is a lot like like Tom,

Angelo Verna was the third

Like the Phoenix of

Cougars 12-15, 15-9, 15-5,
15-4, and drowning the Lakers
15-1, 15-4, 15-7.
Four teams finished in third

TORCH Staff Writer

After four years at the top
the women's cross country
team, torn apart by injuries,
had to settle for a few notches
lower at the Northwest
Athletic Association of Community Colleges Nov. 12, at
Lane.
Region IV champion Jennifer Huff finished in third
place (20:03.4), knocking eight
seconds off her 12th place
finish in last year's race. Titan
Lisa Moe finished in sixth
place after being passed by

Clackamas Community College runner Karin Merrit in the
home stretch.
Other Lane finishers were
Dana Catton (22:46.8) in 31st
place, Tamara Anderson
(22:59.3) in 33rd place, and
Holly Brown (23:06. 8) in
34th.
Head Coach Lyndell Wilken
settled for an expected fourth
place team finish of 84 points,
35 behind winner Spokane
Community College.
"I have to be pleased," she
said. "We're used to getting
first, but they all did the best

they could.
"Jennifer (Huff) ran a really good race,'' emphasized
Wilken, finishing her sixth
year as Titan head coach. "I
have to be satisfied considering the losses we suffered over
the season.
"Marilyn• States had
surgery, Laura Loren (seventh
in conference a year ago)
didn't return, and Robin Wick
(13th in region this year) had

"Jennifer Huff had a sore
foot and was training by swim-

ming and riding the exercise
bike before the conference
meet," said Wilken.
"Everybody ran up to their
potential. It was comparitively
their best race."
Rains from the night before
made the course very wet, added Wilken, which made for a
very slow race.
Huff and Moe ran conservatively at the beginning of the
race. They sat back in the
ninth and 10th spots respectively until the two-mile mark,
then they started to move.

They moved up to the fourth
and fifth spots with about
1500 meters to go when Huff
pulled away from Moe.
Huff passed third place runner Kelly Hewitt of Green
River Community College and
closed in on Gina Ayco of
Bellevue Community College.
But Hewitt passed Huff and
Ayco to move into second.
With 100 meters to go Huff
rushed by Ayco to take third

The meet was dominated by

Former student produces New Age tape for meditation
'1Y Heather Harpham
for the TORCH

What does it take to record,
produce, an4 then market
your own mu~l recording?
This past year, Lauren
McDonald, a former LCC and
U of O student, found out
first-hand. The result of her
brave venture into the world
of audio recording is an instrumental tape titled Inside:
Spiritual Music for the Inner
Child.
Recording this tape probably came naturally to
McDonald because in doing so
she was combining two important aspects of her life: music
and spirituality.
McDonald classifies her
music as New Age, which she
defines as "music that's used
to meditate by, or focus on.
It's not like turning on the
radio and having it in the
background. It's to create a
quiet place where you can do
some mind work -- or get out
of doing some mind work."
McDonald, a violist, performs most of the music on
her tape herself. Certain parts
were performed by a string
quartet and many of the
keyboard arrangements were
played by her producer, Gordon Kuryluk. Other instruments include synthesizer,
chimes, and guitars.
She says her music is more
melodious than a lot of the
New Age music that's currently available in stores. "It's an
exciting
field,"
says
McDonald. '' And the business
part of me said, 'Ah, I see a
niche that needs to be filled
and I'd like to be a part of doing that.' "
She admits ''it took a lot
more time and energy than I

had anticipated" -- in fact, it
took her nine months to produce the recording. "I started
working on the tape a year ago
September, and I finally got it
on the market in May."
According to McDonald,
the satisfaction she experienced throughout the production
process made all the effort
worthwhile. "I would just be
on a high because it felt like
something was really in a
groove.'' Although the work
could be extremely tedious at
times, says McDonald, "It's
always easier to be doing
something that comes to you
naturally."
'' My music background has
always been there. Ever since I
was a kid I've loved music,"
says
McDonald,
who
graduated from Southern
Oregon College in 1972 with a
BA in music. She obtained her
teaching certification at the U
of O in 1973 and went on to
teach music in public schools
for several years, but eventual-

ly laid that aside. In 1984 she
attended LCC and enrolled in
writing and journalism
courses.
In addition to music,
McDonald has also been involved in Hakomi counseling,
a form of therapy which
focuses on the inner child and
deals with the child's early,
painful experiences.
So one of McDonald's goals
in recording her music was to
enhance the listener's ability to
be sensitive to the inner child
of his or her spirit. "I think
it's real important that people
stay in touch with that part of
them that plays and creates."
McDonald says this form of
counseling does not necessarily mean going back and reexperiencing and resorting early childhood experiences.
"But when you're just learning what the world looks like,
and you're given a certain set
of 'glasses,' (views or experiences of life, such as abandonment or sexual abuse for

example), they can eventually
hinder you. It's simply a matter of being able to 'change
your glasses' a little bit so that
you can see the world in a way
that is loving to you."
While her recording will appeal to many people who are
involved in inner child or other
types of therapy, McDonald
hopes to have an impact on the
general market as well. '~It's a
personal type of music and so
the levels of enjoyment and
what people get out of the tape
varies.''
So far, sales have neither exceeded nor disappointed
McDonald's expectations. "I
didn't have a real clear vision
of what I expected. The sales
have been going good, but
what's really encouraging to
me is that everyone who has
bought or received one (tape)
has commented that they really did enjoy it."
Two Eugene stores,
Peralandra and the Balladeer,
are outlets for Inside.

McDonald says she has also
been · using direct sales to
market her tape to people in
the community who are involved in counseling, massage
therapy, healing arts and
metaphysical healing.
Fortunately,
says
McDonald, financing her
endeavor was not a major
obstacle. Gordon Kuryluk, the
owner of Kuryluk Studios in
Junction City where the music
was recorded, agreed with
McDonald on one bucket price
which included sending the
master off and getting the
tapes made. "And when I applied at the bank for a loan,''
says McDonald, "everything
clicked together and my app l i cation was approved
without any problem, even
though I'd never secured that
kind of loan before.''
The hardest part of the process, says McDonald, was electronically transferring the
music onto the master. "It was
a total learning experience for
me and that's where Gordon's
experience came in ... I'm not
a musical engineer. I'm a
musician, an instrumentalist."
McDonald's 11 year-old
daughter, Angie, is named
production assistant on the
cassette's cover. According to
McDonald she was a great
help and her best critic
throughout the long process.
"She spent many hours either
at the babysitter or waiting at
the studio. Also there were a
lot of hours spent just listening
to the tape over and over. It's
really a hash-out job. She
would say 'I like that,' or 'I
don't like this.' "
Will Lauren McDonald and
her daughter Angie be producing a second recording •
sometime in the future?
"That depends," says
McDonald, "on how successful this one is. There were
several things I wanted to do
but didn't get to do on this
tape, such as recording the
sound of children playing at
the park." She pauses and

Speech team earns top spot in tournament
by Lonny Macy

TORCH Staff Writer

The LCC speech team won
the first place sweepstakes
trophy at the University of
Puget Sound Northwest
Forensic Conference Speech
Tournament held on the
weekend of Oct. 28-29.
Teams from six community
colleges and 21 universities
participated in the tournament. A sweepstakes trophy is
awarded to the top community
college and the top university.
Individual winners from
LCC included Veasna Chan
Yun, who took first place in
the informative speech contest
which requires a 10-minute
speech with limited notes
and/ or realistic visual aids.
William Becones was one of
the six finalists out of 35 participants in the Extemporaneous speaking contest.
In this event the speaker gives
a seven-minute speech on a
topic which the speaker is ·
given one half hour before
delivery.
Community colleges were
separated from universities in

team competition, but in individual events all students
were classified together according to level of speaking expertise.
Currently the LCC speech
team has five members. Bar-

hara Breaden, LCC forensics
director, would like more
students to join. No prerequisite or speaking experience
is required and students will
participate at their own level.
To get involved with the f oren-

Biloxi Blues recruits laughs, thoughts
by Andy Dunn

TORCH Entertainment Editor

Biloxi Blues opened Nov. 11 at
LCC's Main Stage Theatre. Technically masterful and very professional in
appearance, with overall fine performances .from the entire cast, the show
still lacked much of the subtlety that
the script implied.
Biloxi is the story of a group of
young Army recruits in a Biloxi,
Mississipi, bootcamp during World
War II.
Eugene Morris Jerome, a semiautobiographical Neil Simon, is played
by Phil Levinson. He narrates from the
point of view of a naive recruit seeking
manhood and future glory. He encounters bigotry for being Jewish and
pressure from the military grind of
uniformity.
The play is a comedy and contains
much of the raw and simplistic humor
one would expect from a parody about
life in a bootcamp during the 1940's. It
is quite hilarious at points, refreshingly
non-sentimental and realistically prosaic for the most par~.
This play is also quite serious on
several levels. The bigotry of

Wykowsky, as portrayed by Scott
Hampton, is still with us today. The
Jews, Epstein (John Killeen) and
Jerome (LevinsonJ as well as the
homosexual Hennesy (Michael Sorenson) all receive the righteous indignation of Wykowski and other recruits.
The ugliness of bigotry is revealed
matter-of-factly, and moralizing is left
for the audience.
Perhaps most interesting and of enduring relevence was the direct conflict
between Epstein and Sgt. Toomey
(Don Nau). Reason against authority
and individuals against a rigid
dehumanizing system, this conflict was
wonderfully played out with both Nau
and Killeen giving the best performances in the play.
Levinson's difficult role as narrator
and participant sometimes seemed
overplayed and lacking in subtlety. The
intense emotional shifts from frightened recruit to lovesick young man were
not always convincingly portrayed.
Rounding out the play and adding
much to the intricate structure were
performances by William Birch as the
dim witted Selridge and Steven Reddy
as the inconclusive Carney. JoAnn

The members of Northern Pikes.

TORCH Sports Editor

An unidentifiable movement on stage caused the
steady roar of a near capacity
audience to quiet quickly.
Now, with the crowd hushed to an almost silent murmur,
it was possible to hear a faint
scuffling sound emanating
from stage left.
Suddenly, a single beam of
light pierced the darkness
coming to rest on a lone guitar
player.
The music began.
At first, only the guitar was
heard. Then, one by one, each
member of the band came into
view and began to play.
The crowd responded with
enthusiastic cheering; the
show was underway.
The Canadian rock band
Northern Pikes, during its

whirlwind, 21 show, tour of
the U.S. made stop number 19
in Eugene on Nov. 14.
This group of small town
"basement musicians", of a
sort, played as an opening act
for rock legend Robert
Palmer.
The four man band, composed of Merl Bryck, Jay
Semko, Bryan Potvin, and,
Don Schmid, originated in the
Canadian town of Saskatoon,
a province of Saskatchawaan.
''Three of us went to school
together," says Potvin. "and
Don (Schmid) went to a high
school just down the road."
The group has tremendous
popularity in Canada, wher~
they have opened for big
money acts such as David
Bowie, The Alarm, and The
Fixx.
They have premiered videos

on MTV and Much Music,
which is the Canadaian
counter-part to the U.S. station.
In Eugene, the band was
met with a well deserved, enthusiastic response.
At times the tempo seemed
slow, causing them to momentarily lose a mesmerized audience, but the energy of the
closing numbers more than
made up for any errors.
"I thought they were
great," said Tonya Louie of
Eugene, "I thought they were
nicer than Palmer.''
'' If you want to do
.something ... '' says guitarist
Potvin, "do it! You create
your own fate."
Palmer performed powerfully as always, · but the band
to watch for in the future is
Northern Pikes.
