Panel reviews Ed-Net

A seven-member panel discussed the pros and cons of Ed-Net, the proposed

Pat John, LCC Study Skills Department head, mediated the discussion. Each of
the other six members had 10 minutes to present information on Ed-Net.

Low-i ncome housing issue is local and national
~

by Alice C. Wheeler

TORCH Editor

Almost every day we read
an article or hear a story about
the homeless and what the
community is doing to help
them.
The opening of the Opportunity House as a shelter for
women and children is a step
in the right direction.
But I think the problem that
needs to be addressed is how
to prevent families from
becoming homeless in the first
place.
On The Local Level
The Eugene Emergency
Housing Agency projects that
4,000 people will be turned
away from shelters this year
because there is no room. In
1986-87, about 1,000 people
were turned away, and in
1987-88, 2,400. The facts
won't go away: the number of
homeless people looking for
shelter in this community has
almost doubled each year for
the past three years.
This is outrageous! What
has caused such a decrease in
low-income housing, and an
increase in homeless families?
Lane County has become a
more popular place to raise a
family in recent years and it is
hard to find housing even with
money and a job.

I am also frustrated with the

dollars, the military is listed as

money.
Sagan says that because of_
hidden military spending, the
actual number is 52 percent.
On this chart there is no individual listing for education,
it is part of the 10 percent called "everything else."
The recent splurges of
military spending have caused
much of the federal deficit.
Maybe, if this money had been
spent to help care for the
educational and medical needs
of our country, it would be
more excusable.
Solving the growing problem of homelessness in our
country should start at the top
and continue all the way to
local communities.
Our community has worked
hard in the past couple of
months to help reduce the
number of homeless living on
the street and in their cars.
This outpouring of community effort has really made a difference in people's lives.
How come the millions of
our tax dollars that the
government collects aren't
spent on services that are important to our communities?

Three topics commanded the Nov. 28
ASLCC senate meeting: David's wish,
ASLCC's secretary's benefits, and an application for senatorship.
Chuck Doerr, treasurer for the Disabled
Awareness Club, was unanimously ratified in
the position of ASLCC senator by the Senate.
Doerr said by being a senator he could give
back to the school some of the good energy he
has been receiving as well as facilitating disabled awareness.
Another unanimous vote was cast to increase

the benefits ASLCC Secretary Jeannee
Beauchaine receives. She had only medical
benefits, but the increase adds dental, vision,
life, and LTD. The cost of the coverage raises
from $91.67 over nine months to $660. 70 for 12
months of coverage.
Two thousand Thanksgiving and Christmas
cards are to be printed for David, a 7-yearold Florida boy who is dying of leukemia.
David hopes to be remembered in the Guinness Book of World Records as receiving the
most cards. ASLCC will ask students to sign
the cards and then send them off together in

Tips for testing may reduce anxiety, improve scores

by Diana Feldman

TORCH Associate Editor

Final exams. The words strike terror in the hearts of countless students.
Even when they've been diligent, studied as much as they could, many students
still feel vulnerable and anxious.
"Most people think they're stupid or dumb, but if they'd switch (study) techniques and practice, they'd do better on tests," maintains Dan Hodges, coordinator of the LCC Testing and Assessment Office.
Hodges says there are some practical approaches for successful study and
anxiety-reduction. He has prepared 15 pages of assorted study tips for anyone interested: They are available outside the Testing and Counseling Offices, Room
227 of the Center Building. He also makes available a video tape, How To Lower
Your Anxiety About Tests ..
Hodges says most students are so sincere about what they don't know, they ignore what they do know. By contrast, he says, the more people believe they have
enough resources (skills, tools, or knowledge) to cope successfully with a test, the
less they worry.
"There are two aspects to resources," says Hodges: First of all, you've got to
develop skills; and second, you've got to believe you have skills.
Obviously, students acquire skills by studying before tests. But to develop the
second aspect, belief, Hodges encourages students to "develop some 'self-talk'
statements so that you can remember your skills and knowledge and say them."
How does a person concentrate on the task of studying? Hodges says when the
mind starts to wander and think of something else, the student should quietly call

it back and focus on the work. He suggests, for example, using a pencil as a
pointer to keep the eyes on the correct line of type.
Another suggestion is reading the most difficult information before going to
bed in order to give the mind a chance to assimilate it.
"If you know certain material is going to be needed (to cover a test) then
overlearn that material. Study it harder and longer than you need to. Use several
memory devices rather than one. As you do this, the deep part of your mind will
know you have the skills and therefore . . . you'll worry less," explains
Hodges.
Does cramming work?
In Walter Pauk's book How to Study in College, which is used as a textbook in
the Study Skills Department, Pauk advises using courage with cramming.
"Use the courage to select only the main ideas or concepts, then recite this
handful of main ideas 'til you master them, for then you'll at least know that
much well and confidently. If you lose courage and try to take in too many ideas
and details, you'll only sabotage your efforts."
Can anxiety be avoided before and during an exam?
Pauk's answer is, "You don't avoid it, you control it.
''Before the exam you work gainfully according to your schedule, eat
reasonable meals, and get your regular eight hours of sleep each night. Remind
yourself occasionally that you're getting things done. On exam day, get to the exam room early, and choose a seat that you will be comfortable in -- without
distractions. Review in your mind some of the easiest of your 'things to
remember,' to occupy your mind with work."

'87-'88 dental assistant grads look good on state exams
by Heather Harpham
for the TORCH

All of last year's 22
graduating dental assistant
students passed the General
Dental Assisting National
Board Exam, reports Beth
Webb, Dental Assisting Coordinator.
Webb also says the LCC
graduates' scores were higher
than the national average.
The five-hour comprehensive exam covers both patient
procedures and general procedures. Although the test is
not required, ''because they've
gone to school for a year or
more, and because it gives
them status in the profession,
they take it," says Webb.
Webb, coordinator of the
Dental Assisting Program for
18 years, says it's not uncommon for LCC graduates to do
well on the exam. Typically,
Webb explains, only one or
two LCC students fail the test,
and "It's not unusual that our
scores are higher than the national average.''
She says graduates of the
program are successful at finding work in their field. All of
last year's graduating

students, except one who is
presently interviewing for a
job, are now employed as dental assistants.
The Dental Assisting Program admits 30 students each
September. Students must
meet specified criteria before
being admitted. Application
packets will be available Dec.
1 and can be submitted after
Jan. 1. Student selection is
based on a first-come, firstserved basis once testing and
admission requirements have
been met.
Webb gives much of the
credit for the program's success to the Dental Assisting
staff's ability to keep up with
current trends in their field.
"Dental assisting is a constantly changing career. What
we're allowed to do in the office by the State Board of Dentistry is constantly growing.''

work. According to Webb,
the Oregonian recently
published about 50' classified
advertisements for dental positions.
For anyone interested in
dentistry or dental hygiene
professions, Webb says the
Dental Assisting Program is a
good place to start. She says
for a relatively small invest-

LCC's program is the only
one of its kind from Eugene
south to the state border. This
year one dental assisting student, Robi Pizzuto, is traveling to LCC each day from
Roseburg.
The Dental Assisting Pro-

gram is a nine-month, comprehensive, compact course.
Students can also take an
18-month course, or even as a
two-year course, in which
case a student enrolls in lecture courses in the first year
and clinical courses in the second year. Tuition, supplies,
textbooks, and fees total
about $1500 for the one-year
program, says Webb.

As a result, explains Webb,

which could be passed along to
students.
Prospects for employment
in dental assisting are excellent
for both full and part-time

I just go into a store, say
Fred Meyers, and walk down
every aisle in the store. One
item from each aisle will go into my cart. Once I've gone
through the entire store, I
count how many items I've
selected and compare this
number with the number of
people for which I am shopping. Then, I just dump the excess number of gifts behind a
particularly obnoxious holiday
display and I'm .finished.
Anyone can learn the basics
of Power Shopping. The best
way to learn is to merely put
off thinking of any kind of
shopping until the last possible
moment. Then, in a shopping
frenzy of violent intensity, you
may discover powers within
yourself that you never knew
existed.
Last minute Christmas
shopping is possible at the
following Eugene stores on
Christmas Eve: Payless until
7 p.m.; Fred Meyer, K - Mart,
Bi - Mart, Albertson's, and
some Emporium outlets until 6
p.m.; and the downtown Sears
until 5:30 p.m. The Springfield Mall will stay open
until 6 p.m. and Valley River
Center will close at 5 p.m.
Even if you have no need to
shop on Christmas Eve, it's
sometimes fun to just go to the
mall and observe. Being a
casual, disinterested observer
in the midst of chaos can provide you with a sense of
perspective or confusion,
depending upon your outlook.
Still, my heart goes out to
the participants in this ritual. I
know that deep inside of all of
us lurks a Power Shopper and
'tis the season to unleash it.

Savory sweet treats for a sweet tooth
by Diana Feldman

TORCH Associate Editor

Since the holidays are coming our TORCH Editor has
graciously allowed me a little
room to play. With this space
I'd like to give you a little gift.
For almost a year I've heard
about Jacquelyn Belcher's
prizewinning Baba Au Rhum
and Jack Carter's knock'em-dead cheesecake recipe.
And after having Ginny
Nelson for two terms of
French I knew she had to have
some wonderful recipes tucked
away.
I'd like to thank everyone
for their help and generosity in
sharing these treats with all the
TORCH readers. Bon Appetit!
BABA AU RHUM
Dough:
3/4 c. warm water
2 packages dry yeast
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
6 eggs
3 3/4 c. sifted all-purpose
flour
3/4 c. butter
1/4 c. currants
2 tbsp. grated orange peel
Syrup:
2 1/2 c. sugar
1 unpeeled medium orange
1/2 lemon, sliced
1 to 1 1/2 c. rum
Glaze:
1 c. apricot preserves
2 tsp. lemon juice

Put half of the flour into a
large bowl. Make a well in the
center, and place the yeast in
it. Dissolve the yeast in the
water, then slowly mix in the
flour until the dough is slightly
soft, adding more water if
needed.
Scrape the sides of the bowl
with a spatula and incorporate
the scrapings into the dough.
Sift the remaining flour and
the sugar on top of the dough
and sprinkle it with the salt.
Set in a warm place to rise.
When the flour that covers the
leavened dough has risen and
cracks appear, add three eggs
and mix well into the flour and
the dough, kneading it quickly. The dough should become
elastic and detach itself from
the palms of your hands. Add,
one by one, the other three
eggs. As the dough softens,
beat it lightly with the tips of
your fingers. Add the softened

butter and scrape the sides of
the bowl with a spatula and incorporate the scrapings. CoverÂ·
with a cloth and set in a warm
place (80 to 100 degrees); let
the dough rise for one and
one-half to two hours, or until
it has doubled in bulk. Gently
deflate the dough by gathering
it from the sides of the bowl to
the center. Shake raisins and
orange peel in a cloth with a
pinch of flour, then add to
dough.
Butter molds and fill twothirds of the way up; bounce
them on a folded cloth to settle
dough and then let the dough
rise again for one to two hours
more. When the dough has
risen a quarter of an inch
above the top of the molds,
bake in a 375 degree oven for
about 15 minutes. When they
are done, unmold onto a cake
rack. While they are still
slightly warm, prick tops in
several places, pour the
lukewarm syrup over them
and let them stand for half an
hour, basting frequently with
the syrup. They should absorb
enough syrup so they are moist
and spongy but still hold their
shape.
Drain on rack for half an
hour. When the babas have
drained, sprinkle the top of
each with a few drops of rum.
Paint them with the apricot
glaze and place a glaceed
cherry on top of each.
To make rum syrup: combine sugar with two cups water
in a two-quart saucepan. Add
the orange and lemon and bring to a boil. Remove from the
heat and stir until sugar has

dissolved. Strain the syrup into a pitcher. When the sugar
syrup has cooled to lukewarm,
stir in the rum.
To make glaze: Stir apricot
preserves over heat until
melted, then rub through a Â·
sieve to leave the bits of skin
behind. Return to pan and add
lemon juice. Stir over
moderately high heat for two
to three minutes until thick
enough to coat a spoon with a
light film and the last drops
are sticky as they fall from the
spoon (225 degrees on a candy
thermometer). Do not boil
beyond this point or the glaze
will become brittle when it
cools.
EXCELSIOR CHEESECAKE :
Crust:
2 c. graham cracker crumbs
3/4 -- 1 c. softened butter

Combine the two ingredients
and set aside.
Filling:
4 8-oz. packages cream cheese
at room temp.
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract

Mix until fluffy and pour into prepared crust.
Place in a cold oven, set
temperature at 350 degrees.
Bake half an hour. Remove
from oven (but don't turn
oven off) and set aside.
Topping:
1 pint sour cream

Renting of video equipment
is growing in popularity,
especially during the holiday
season. Even increases in rental rates during holidays and
the high deposits don't seem to
stop the public from wanting
to preserve their holiday
memories through home
movies.
But making of a home
movie isn't as easy as it may
look. Jim Dawe, a Broadcast/Visual Design major, has
produced â€¢ at least 10 videos
here at LCC. He says that "50
percent of making a video is
pre-production planning,''
which means having the sequence of shots already outlined on a story board. If someone is taping a Christmas
party, there is a chance they
might forget what they were
wanting to tape, and this may
result in a bad video. "This is
why making an outline and
pre-production planning is so
important,'' according to
Dawe.
He suggests that close-up
shots are more effective than
those of an entire room or
space. Focusing on one subject
is much better. ''Get in close,''
said Dawe. And he says

The Statistic$

Commentary by Paul Morgan

When will there be too many homeless people in Lane County?
When can we call homelessness in Lane County an epidemic?
Now!
1
The problem has grown into a monster that can t be ignored any more. The numbers show
the growth pattern.
â€¢ During the 1988-89 fiscal year, 4000 people will be turned away from shelter homes ,
estimates Eugene Emergency Housing (EEH) Director Don Kostur. '"In the first three mont hs
of this fiscal year the EEH has turned away 294 families, " he says.
That contrasts with EEH fiscal year 1986~87 statistics which show that when theagency was
working at capacity it turned 283 families away. "That's approximately 1,000 people/ ' says
Kostur.
â€¢ Most are local people. Kostur says that "70*75 percent of the people who are homeless are
from Lane County. Only 25 percent come from just outside the county.''
Affordable housing has decreased in the Eugene-Springfield area. "There are fewer vacan*
des which means higher rent, 11 explains Kostur. "Our economy is turning from production
employment to service and retail. These jobs pay less,.
â€¢ "ln most families where one or more members are working the average income is about
$750 a month/' he says. HWith rent at an average of$350 a month, it could cost $750 justto
move into a house including first and last month's rent and deposit. That doesn,t leave much
left to do anything else.' 1
Whitaker Elementary School Counselor Harold Sanders agrees. ''The problem has become
the most serious inÂ·the last six months for people without money. The housing shortage blocks
them out . . . if a family applies to a family shelter and are turned away, there's nowhere to
go," he says.
One observer at the Nov. 3 Peace and Justice Forum said that much of the housing problem
could be the lack of dorm rooms on the U of O campus.
â€¢ Of the 18,150 students enrolled at the U of 0, there are 3,889 living in residence halls and
university-sponsored family housing.
'' In Lane County the homeless are forced to remain invisible. They camp and sleep in their
cars." Kostur explains. "which is illegal in city limits."
The Police Department reported that the law against camping in city limits is only enforced
when the camper is seen to be a threat to the community. A car is considered personal property and can be used as a residence in one place for 24 hours; but must be moved to a different
spot after that time limit is exceeded.
''Yet they (homeless) want to be near town to receive social services and to use lavatories.
Because they are invisible it makes it hard to get an exact number of homeless ~.) .. so
(agencies have) determined an estimate based on the amount of people they had to turn
away," Kostur adds.
â€¢ Of the homeless, 55 percent are two-parent families. "These were considered stable people," says Kostur.
â€¢ The estimates show that 40-45 percent were single mothers, and 5 percent were single
fathers.
â€¢ Individually, 55 percent of the homeless are under the age of 18; 45 percent are under 10
years old.

Families

by Paul Morgan

TORCH Staff Writer

Somewhere in the cold, there are American families living without shelter.
It doesn't matter how they got there. The reason isn't
going to keep them warm.
Every morning American children wake up to a cold
world without stability. A world confined to their family's car or a small shelter room because they have
nowhere else to go .
Children with out homes . Their lives are spent being
shuffled about like pieces of luggage.
Imagine being a homeless parent: What do you tell
your child when you hit the streets? How do you explain
the nightmares that keep your children awake at night?
Harold Sanders, a counselor at Whitaker Elementary
School, helps homeless children deal with the emotions
they may be going through . "I know that the years of
patterning are now.'' Sanders says.
''The experiences that are happening now will affect
them throughout a lifetime -- the fears of abandonment,
of a significant person dying. The nightmares are so great
that they are going to have to be dealt with."
A counselor for 17 years, Sanders says that children

â€¢ The averaRe a~e of homeless people is 6 years old.
â€¢ In 1986;..87 the average stay in a shelter was 9~5 days; in 1987-88 it was 14.S days. Now the
average stay is 19. 7 days. A one-day increase means theshelter must tum away 60 people, says
Kostur.
Teresa Taylor, a worker at the Family Shslter on Highway 99, summed up the problem.
"Do we or do we not believe that every child and every adult needs a home? If there is one
family homeless then 1 believe that it is a crime, " she said.
"If I were making the budgeting decisions I wouidn 't prioritize anything else. ,,
Taylor even suggested one possible solution.
"Imagine how many cities could have their problems solved by diverting the cost ofjust one
Stealth bomber (which costs the taxpayers $600 million each).''

Teenagers
by Bob Walter

TORCH Sta ff Writer

At a time when most families draw together in the warmth and security
of their homes, recent statistics show that a growing number of teenagers
will be fending for themselves this winter as thousands join the ranks of
the homeless.

A study prepared by the Northwest Network of Runaway Youth Services estimates that 30,000 children in Oregon left their homes
prematurely in 1987, many of them forced out by family conflicts,
neglect, abuse -- or at times simply to ease the burden on parents struggling to survive in a shrinking economy.
While some of these children eventually return to their families or stay
with sympathetic relatives, many end up living on the streets where they
are often drawn into illegal activities in order to survive.
Another national study by the Commission on Youth and America's
Future discovered that the average real wages of young adults without
college education have dropped by nearly 50 percent since 1973. Onethird of all families headed by a person under 25 have incomes below the
federal poverty line.
Eugene, with its reputation for tolerance, its large student population,
and its proximity to 1-5, has long been a magnet for young runaways.

Page 8 â€¢ â€¢â€¢ December 2, 1988

The TORCH

Here they find their way into the street population of local teenagers,
street musicians. derelicts, and drug dealers.
It is the nearly universal involvement with drugs among these teenagers
which most worries Sgt. David Jordan-Hanson, head of the Juvenile
Crimes Division of the Eugene Police Department.
"It's common for these girls, sometimes as young as 13, to end up
staying with some older guy who's selling drugs, often methamphetamine. They'll get a roof over their heads and he'll keep them high in
exchange for sexual favors. Often they'll also end up as couriers for drug
deals,'' he says.
The problem with kids living in the street, according to HansonJordan. is that it takes money to survive. and no one will give them jobs.
The boys generally turn to theft, and the girls to prostitution.
Because of restrictions in the juvenile laws enacted in the last few
years, police can no longer detain Oregon runaways unless they have
been involved in crime.
"Some kids." he says, "are having trouble with their families. They're
going through fairly common teenage problems, growing-up problems,
and with some good counseling they can usually work through these
things as a family and the situation will improve. If they have a drug problem, though, it's less likely that they'll be able to break the patterns they

may in fact feel responsible fo r their homeless situation.
"They spend a significant time at night in terror, dreaming things that haven't happened.
"Society has created a situation and (the children) are
caught in the middle. I find a heavy level of depression."
What is the future of a child whose parents are just surviving, let alone saving for a college education?
"If the child is homeless and nobody cares, the child
will become disillusioned about his/her upward mobility
in this society," says Sanders.
He also hinted that children might have problems sharing with their peers that they are homeless. " Children
that are homeless are unwilling to admit that they are
sleeping in a car or bus. At Whitaker, there are about 12
homeless families, so the problem is more commonly
seen," explains Sanders. " But in some schools they
might be the subject of ridicule."

Kate Barry, director of
the LCC Women's Program, says "As more and
more women become heads
of households, they are
bec<>ming an increasingly
larger portion of the poor.''
Barry says the poverty is
often caused by the low income jobs available to
women. She also sugg.ests
that the lack of subsidized
day care contributes to
single mothers' financial
burdens.
Domestic violence is
another cause for the increase of homeless women
and children, Barry says.

pick up on the street.''
The detention laws, while they may grant more autonomy to unsupervised juveniles, frustrate authorities and youth counseling groups alike
because they prevent the police from acting as guardians when they see
young people in vulnerable positions.
The best that police can do is to direct the young people to private
agencies which offer services for youth.
The primary resource for dislocated adolescents in Eugene is the Looking Glass Shelter, which provides temporary housing and counseling for
up to 15 teenagers. While the majority are referred by local government
agencies, Looking Glass also accepts young people who come in off the
street on the condition that they contact their parents.
If it is impossible to reconcile family difficulties, then alternate
possibilities are explored, including relatives, foster homes, and group
living situations. Older teenagers get help in making the transition to independent living.
In addition to the shelter, Looking Glass operates a counseling center,
a residential treatment center, and a job placement center which is
available for anyone aged 16 to 21 who is not in high school and qualifies
as low income.
Primarily geared to prepare young people for permanent employment

then she is in a much less
financially SUJ?portive situation.''
Barry says that in the past
battered women were not
regarded as homeless, just
battered. But she says, people are now aware of what
these women are going
through and are becoming
more involved.
The LCC Women's
Awareness Center can often
help provide food and
money to women in need
through networking of
community r~ources.
But providing housing is
much more difficult. ''The
community doesn't have
the resources (housing). We
tell people of the resources,
but we tell them of the
situation . . . shelters are
full and turn them away."
Barry explained that the
Women's Center som~times
has other recourses, such as
the SRC, which puts out a
yearly housing guide fat
students and also has a
bulletin hoard devoted to
rental housing; people who
need it and people who have

it.

She says that sometime
people offer housing for a
couple of nights, and there
is an informal network of
people offering shorf stays
and taking in roommates.
"We have the staff and
people to help. But there
are no resourc~s out there/'
Barry says with dismay.
Don Kostur, director of
Eugene Emergency Housing, says that the increase in
homelessness is caused by
fewer housing vacancies
and higher rent. He
estimates that women make
up 40-15 percent of the
homeless people in Lane
C~unty.

in area businesses, the Job Center works with LCC in providing job
training and fulfilling GED requirements. It has a solid base of
employers going back five years and a placement rate of more than 75
percent, according to Pris Haworth, program supervisor. LCC students

â€¢
-- have often used the center to find jobs. â€¢
Galen Phipps is the shelter director and the author of the Lane County
section of the Northwest Network Study, which will be submitted at the
next session of the state legislature in support of a bill assigning responsibility for such juvenile support services to state agencies.
"When the juvenile laws were loosened," says Phipps, "the state
didn't do anything to fill the vacuum. Suddenly, no one was officially
responsible for the well-being of juveniles statewide."
Private programs like Looking Glass and Christian Family Services do
an excellent job of helping troubled youngsters regain their footing, according to Lew Simmons, assistant director Â·of Skipworth Detention
Center. But they can only handle a fraction of the cases.
The rest are on their own. "The American people don't understand
just how many kids simply get thrown away," Simmons says. "The
whole system is malfunctioning. Most of these kids are in the middle of
the biggest crisis of their lives, and the system is doing nothing about it.''

Mike Escalera, his wife Lisa

tiny and very temporary home
at Eugene Emergency Housing
Family Shelter. Escalera's
roofing and construction services are not in demand when
the rain comes down.
They received a no-cause
30-day eviction notice when
the apartment complex they
were living in five months ago
"was turning into all-adult
apartments,'' says Escalera.
"We didn't have any place to
go."
Escalera, 27, and Raymond,
26, fought the decision, but
ended up homeless anyway.

But many of the kids are not
in school, says Taylor, because
they are not motivated to go.
"It's hard to make school a
priority when survival is a
priority. When school is a
secondary issue it shows the
level of disparity in society,''
she stressed.
The lack of education for
the poor keeps society's
perpetual machine churning
out uneducated children with
no way to escape. "Kids of all
ages need stability," says
Taylor. "School is very important for that kind of consistency. It gets them out of their

least seven hours a day.

Basketball profile: number two shooter returns
by Tracy Thaxton

TORCH Sport s Editor

"Many teams will be walking in very cocky this year . . .
but I think that they, and a lot
of other people, are in for a
big surprise.''
So says Harold Michaud,
who has recently begun his second season as strong forward
for the LCC Titans men's
basketball team.
This 6' 4" Titan, weighing
in at 190 pounds, may not be
modest about his team's
chances for success in the upcoming season, but he has a
good reason to feel optimistic.
Although the Titan team sufferect a losing 12-14 season last
year, Michuad was number
two in scoring, and feels that
he has gained much experience
in the time since.
"I've been playing city
league and in tournaments,''
he says, "and that has helped
me to improve physically.
Also, intelligence-wise, I'm a
lot smarter than I was last
year, as far as knowing when
to give the ball up, etc."
Michuad says that he will
have a "good all-around game

to contribute.''
What is it that makes this
Titan player tick, and why
should he be expected to perform well in the games to
come?
There are two reasons.
"Money is the main motivation for me," says Michuad.
"I'm hoping to get a two-year
scholarship out of this.
Realistically, as far as going all
the way (to professional
basketball), the opportunity
isn't there right now, but
maybe in a smaller country . . . like
Australia ... who knows.
Hopefully, though, I can at
least make a Division Two
school."
Obviously this Titan forward is motivated by a desire
to continue playing basketball
in the future, which will require a strong showing this
season, but there is another
reason he can be expected to
play aggressive basketball.
"I'd be lying if I said the
ego wasn't there," admits
Michuad. '' I do want to look
good, and I want the school to
look good, but I want the team

Court speed, deciding edge

by Paul Morgan

TORCH Sports Writer

Speed is the key.
If the Titans' 54-46 victory
Nov. 26 over the visiting Concordia JV s is any indication,
speed is the key that will
unlock many doors for the
women's basketball team this
season.
Sophomore guard Teresa
Werner tossed in 21 points and
freshman guard Michelle
Mathews added 14 points as
Lane used a combination of
pressure defense and patient
offense to dismantle Concordia in the second half.
The Titans' swarming full
court press forced Concordia
to beat themselves with turnovers. "Fitness is a big part
of it," said Head Coach David
Loos. "We want them to
make the mistakes, we want to
keep them fatigued.''
After taking a 25-21 lead into the locker rooms at
halftime, Lane came out flying
in the second half.
The Titans used five Concordia turnovers to fuel an
18-4 tear and opened the lead
to 18 points with nine minutes
left in the game. During this
stretch Lane completely confused Concordia with scorching defense.
But Concordia began to
crawl back. With the help of
t owering center Patty
Stephan (12 points and 17 rebounds), Concordia went on
an 8-2 run to pull within 12,
47-35.
With 6:20 left in the game
Werner helped hold Concordia back with two steals that
led to break away baskets,
finishing one of the drives off
with a fake that sent a Concordia defender sailing past. Both
baskets put Lane up by 14,
51-37.
Concordia was left to
recoup against a very quick
defensive team that hung them
out to dry twisting in the
breeze.
"They're a hard-working
group," said Loos, now in his
fourth year as head coach.
''We had good ball movement
and good choice of shots.
"We're not very big, but we
have excellent speed. It's not
the size of the dog in the fight,
it's the size of the fight in the
dog."
The size problem was evident against Concordia. The
Titans could not match up
with Stephan. Lane had problems rebounding against the
bigger team and pulled down
only 15 rebounds. Individually, freshman Krista Gorham
had five rebounds, followed
by Colleen Ramey with four.
Other LCC scorers were
Tracey Looney (8 pts.),
Gorham (4 pts.), Ramey (6
pts.), and Angela Englert (2
pts.)
"All the kids have the
potential to score," said Loos.
"Teresa (Werner) had a good
night (against Concordia).
Krista (Gorham) is our best

athlete but just hasn't come
out yet.
"Work ethics are a must."
The Titans will' travel to
Eureka, CA and take part in
the Redwoods Tournament
Dec. 1-3. It will be a double
elimination tournament
featuring teams from Umpqua
College,
Community
Southwest Oregon Community College, The College of the
Redwoods and a couple of
teams from the San Francisco
Bay area. Lane will take on
Umpqua in the first game.
"We're going to try to make
them play our game,'' explained Loos. "Umpqua is real
tough."
This year, Loos is installing
the same style of offense
UCLA used during the John
Wooden years. "The kids
came out and were patient
with the offense. They picked

it up real well; I was pleased,''
he said.
The Titans are going to be
using a pressure defense. "We
like to switch them around
from full court press to manto-man,'' Loos said.
Lane has set some goals to
play together and become a
team to bounce back from last
year's 10-16 record.
"We've been out of the
playoffs for two years and we
want to go," Loos claimed.
'' I think our league is real
balanced. There's not an easy
game on our schedule.
"We have a solid team this
year; the sophomores are going to take a stand,'' said
Loos. A leader is what the
team was missing last year, he
added.
"Attitude is one of our
goals. Our slogan is 'Attitude
equals altitude.' "

Nominations have been tallied and the winners have been
chosen for the Outstanding Student-Instructor Awards of fall
term 1988.
Bob Radcliff was selected lnstuctor of the Term, and Carol
Furgeson and Virginia Emberson tied for Student of the Term.
According to Sue Thompson, a Health and PE instructor
"The interest, vitality, and energy (of the student award win~
ners) added a lot to my class.''
Furgeson, 62, and Emberson, 68, played tennis in a class with
students whose average age was 22. "Both made outstanding
progress,'' says Thompson.
Radcliff has been an strength training instructor at LCC for
20 years, and has been personally instrumental in in the development of the LCC weight room. "It's always nice to be recognized," he said. "It was a happy surprise."

The TORCH

because "I just didn't like his
stinking looks." Her oldest
sister, gentle, fastidious Lenny, is celebrating her 30th
birthday. A martyr to her
'' shrunken ovary'' and
without romantic prospects,
she has just received news that
her beloved horse Billy Boy
has been struck dead by lightning. And Meg, the headstrong,
rueful middle sibling, has
come home after failing to
launch a Hollywood singing
career.
Hovering above them all is
the spirit of their dead mother,
who hanged herself in the
basement and strung up her
cat alongside because "she
had a bad day. A real bad
day."

In LCC's production, Marla
Norton, Rebekah Shelley, and
Jodie Cripe will play the three

sisters, Lenny, Meg, and
Babe. Julie Chouinard will
play Chick; Robert Harrison
will play Doc; and Troy
Williams will play Barnette
Lloyd, the ambitious young
lawyer.

Patrick Torelle, an LCC
Performing Arts Department
instructor, is the show's director. Torelle has acted and
directed with the Los Angeles
Shakespeare Festival, and in
1977 he was selected by
Willamette Week as an
Outstanding Contributor to
the state of Oregon.
Tickets are $4 for the evening performances Dec. 9 - 10
and $2.50 for the afternoon
opening Dec. 8. They may be
purchased at the door or by
calling the LCC box office at
726-2202 between 9 a.m. and 1
p.m. weekdays.

A ,couCh potato's holiday
by Heather Harpham
for tbe TORCH

'Tis the season to be ... coÂµch potatoes.
Being unaccustomed to prolonged stretches of free time,
many students will soon turn to the sights and sounds of
Christmas via the television airwaves.
But what kind of holiday programming awaits the
season's TV viewers?
Those who are young at heart or have children of their
own will be pleased to discover a great lineup of sentimental Christmas specials ~- enough to wipe the last traces of
Econ Analysis or History of Civilization from even the
most exam-crammed mind.
Traditionalists, for example, will be happy to note that
the ever-melting uFrosty,. can still draw a prime-time network slot in spite of stiff competition from new upstarts
such as "Alf." And for those students who still cry each
year over "Rudolph/' ready your Kleenex.
The following are highlights of the holiday schedules
provided by television stations KMTR (Channel 16)~ KEZI
(9), and KVAL (13). Check local times and listings.
