Columbia Records 1986 by Dorothy Wilmes-Corkery TORCH Staff Writer On Jan. 16, Martin Luther King III, commissioner of Fulton County, GA, will be in Eugene to speak at the Hult Center for the Martin Luther King Jr holiday celebration. According to ASLCC Cultural Director Michael Stewart, King will arrive in Eugene directly after attending a private family memorial service. Stewart says that King's speech should be an impassioned one. "We will see and hear the continuity of ideals passed from father to son,'' he predicts. King, the eldest son and namesake of the slain civil rights leader, is an active proponent of human rights in this country and abroad. Twice in the late 1970s, the younger King represented Pres. Jimmy Carter in official delegations to foreign countries. In 1984, as a member of the Board of Directors for the Martin Luther King Jr Center for Nonviolent Social Change, he traveled to Africa to investigate the extent of poverty in African nations. As a result of his mission, the King Center helped to launch the Africa Initiative, an organization formed to find solutions to end starvation on the African continent. King has also served as a f undraiser, public relations official, and director of youth programs for the King Center. He has led voter registration drives in several cities. In his position as Fulton County commissioner he works to promote equal employment opportunities, supports minority business enterprise, and seeks solutions for the disposal of hazardous waste. King's visit to Eugene was arranged by Stewart, who also is the producer and ~tage manager for The Dream Lives commemoration at the Hult Center. rt has worked in conjunction with members of the Martin Luther King Task Force to organize the rememberance. lebration will begin at 4 p.m. Monday, Jan. 16 with a Peace March from..swu.ll. e High School to the Hult Center for the Performing Arts. The event will be a nt of the march on Washington, DC, where Dr. King delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech to 250,000 at the Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28, 1962. mmemoration at the Hult will include a performance of The Symphony of see MLK, page 5 Quarter system retained by Alice C. Wheeler TORCH Editor By a unanimous vote on Dec. 9, the state Board of Higher Education revoked a twoyear decision to change state colleges and universities from a quarter system to a semester system beginning in 1990. For LCC at least this decision " ... was an administrative blessing,'' says Jack Powell, head of LCC's English, Foreign Language, and Speech Department. Powell represented LCC at state Board of Higher Education meetings for discussion of the proposed changeover. Powell says that LCC had already decided against switching over, but was concerned about students who might want to transfer from LCC mid-year to a four-year college on the semester system. Bob Marshall, interim vice president of Student Services, suggests five reasons for the change of plans. • Some legislators never thought the changeover was a good idea. • Some legislators were planning to propose legislation against the switch. • Most community colleges decided it was not in their best interests to switch. • Five new members have joined the state Board of Higher Education since the original decision to change to semesters was made. • Other items on the board's agenda may have been mote important. Marshall says that LCC would have needed close to $400,000 to change, and the state was offering no financial assistance because the idea was .initiated by four-year colleges, not the state government. "The semester system doesn't fit community colleges' broad-based needs. We are looking for more ways to start classes more often, not less often,'' says Marshall. In Powell's opinion, "There will be continued interest in wanting to go to that kind of a system.'' But he also says that the board's decision "serves our students in the short-run, at least." But Powell says it is unfortunate that four year colleges put so much time and effort into the project only to have it dropped. "It will leave some confusion and bitterness,'' he predicts. Carter applauded by Jessica Schabtach TORCH Associate Editor LCC Interim President Jack Carter was presented the Cascade Chorus Award of Harmony on Jan. 7 at a ceremony at the Springfield Country Club. Mart Bauer, president of the Eugene chapter of the chorus, says "We are particularly pleased with our recipient and especially happy to be part of a community in which so many wonderful people do their part to provide an extra touch of harmony to our lives." According to ASLCC Vice President KoLynn Dornan, Carter was recommended for the award at a meeting last Novemember by the ASLCC Senate and several LCC staff members. The Senate sent a letter of recommendation to the Cascade Chorus, which selected Carter from a group of candidates. Ted Allen, public relations chairman of the chorus, says Carter was honored "for leadership and management abilities that have enabled him to create and maintain a harmonious relationship with the students, faculty, and staff of LCC and with county residents.'' The 90-member Cascade Chorus is part of the Eugene Chapter of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America. The society also supports charities through its chapters in the US and in Europe and Canada. Carter was appointed acting president of LCC last July.

No, I'm not complaining about tuition, I'm not grumbling about student fees. What galls me these days is the cost of books. Back in elementary and high school it was no problem -- schools loaned books to students who returned them at the end of the year. Some colleges do have book lending or renting programs (in which a student pays a set price for borrowing books for a term), but unfortunately, most colleges can't or don't use such systems, and with textbook costs book bills are often nearly as high as tuition rates. The reasons, of course, for the high prices of textbooks are many. Researching and writing a textbook is a lengthy and time-consuming process, and most are well-printed (though I don't quite understand why paperback texts cost nearly as much as their hardcover counterUnfortunately I fear that publishers parts). don't just have printers' salaries and writers' royalties in mind when they stick the price tag on a book. They have discovered a captive market in which they can charge whatever prices they choose -- and get them. If a student needs to take a history class (or an economics class or whatever) to graduate, he or she is certainly going to hand over the $40 or $50 for the course's textbook. Ah. But what about used books?

What I do object to is spending $25 for them, and knowing that one of my classmates sold it yesterday for five bucks. I'm not blaming the bookstores. They have businesses to run and employees to pay (and, of course, high wholesale costs); they, like the publishers, have found a market in which they can make a tidy profit. I'm blaming us, the students, for letting them get away with it. Every term I glance over the bulletin board in the Center Building, but I rarely see anything I need, and the logistics of meeting someone to buy a book tend to be so awkward it's not really worth it. I would like to see a student-run co-op buying and selling used books at a minimal profit -just enough to pay the rent and provide a little money for the attendants (or maybe they could be reimbursed with discounts on books). In this system, Student A could sell a book for $10 or $12, more than he/she would get at the LCC, U of 0, or Smith Family Bookstores, and Student B could then buy it for, say, $15. I don't know if an independent program is really feasible at LCC, but perhaps it could become a function of the ASLCC or another student organization. In any case I think that only when students take it upon themselves to improve the situation will it change at all. TORCH Entertainment Editor I would like to clarify my reasons for writing last week's "Big Stick" editorial and this week's extensive response to Richard Cook's letter to the editor. Basically, I did the necessary research and wrote these articles because I felt that no one else would. In a previous editorial (TORCH, Nov. 14, 1988), I complained that the US media has a history of ignoring the issues. I feel that the press is now ignoring the larger issues of the US shootdown of two Libyan fighter aircraft. However much I empathize with a situation where a US fighter pilot has to make an immediate life or death decision, I still feel that it is the media's job to critically judge the facts it has been given. And the highly inconsistent facts of this case, as stated by the US government, have yet to be critically analyzed in the national media. The US government initially claimed and continues to claim that our F-14s were trying to avoid the Libyan MiG 23s. However, the day following the shootdown, a Mr. Howard of the Defense Department revealed that the F-14s were heading south towards Libya prior to the shootdown. According to the New York Times account of Howard's LETTERS TO TH E ED ITO.R==============================:::::::::::::: Wrapping catfish To the Editor: Andy Dunn's "Big Stick" editorial (TORCH, Jan. 6, 1989) shows the lack of broadbased knowledge that is a major reason few people use the TORCH for more than wrapping catfish. In this editorial, he calls our shooting down of the Libyan MiG-23s "inconsistent and frightening," based on the fact that "air intercepts and mock combats are more common than we would like to admit." Well, perhaps young master Dunn does not understand the differences between those of most "confrontations" and the one that took place Jan. 4 over the Mediterranean that make this instance both consistent and justifiable. First, the mock combat and air intercepts that do occur regularly between US and Soviet Air Forces are a cat and mouse game designed more to check the response and tracking techniques used than to engage in actual combat. Furthermore, the intercepts occur over protected air space (both ours and Soviet) and end when the "invaders" are escorted Page 2 January 13, 1989 from said air space. The game is accompanied by an understanding between the pilots and crews involved that they are not to be shooting one another's planes out of the sky, a relationship of cautious trust we cannot justify with the Libyans. Indeed, it is the Libyans who were inconsistent with the "rules" by engaging over international waters, and refusing to break off when the F-14s attempted to show their lack of hostile intent by taking evasive action on five separate occasions. Second, although the Soviet Govt. is not exactly the epitome of morality, they are, at least, mostly sane; an inappropriate title for Ghadafy if ever there was one. This is a man who protects his "pharmaceutical plant" (read chemical weapons factory) with surface-to-air missiles (presumably to protect the vital aspirin industry in Libya). In his Nov. 14, 1988 editorial "Scanty coverage of issues by news media,'' Master Dunn states that by ''ignoring the issues . . . the free press has let us down once again." What he obviously does not realize is that as dangerous as The TORCH the misuse of military force is, misuse of our free press, either by ignoring, misstating, or distorting facts is even more dangerous. I hereby sentence Master Dunn to one hour each week of reading something from a political viewpoint with which he does not agree. We •. shall all benefit. Richard J. Cook LCC Student Unwrapping fish To the Editor: Well, Mr. Cook (please excuse the omission of honorary titles), you hav~ made several valid points with regard to my editorial on the Jan. 5 shootdown incident. I intend to ignore your rather slanderous personal remarks and counter your specific assertions in the following reply. • First, you point out the differences between this shootdown and US/Soviet aircraft confrontations. You say that the superpower confrontations are a game to test response and tracking. Do you assume that US/Libyan confrontations are not? Alexander Haig, former Secretary of State, has admitted that previous US Navy operations off the Libyan coast were conducted for the purpose of "testing" the Libyans -- see The Oregonian, Jan. 4, 1989. • You also state that US/Soviet confrontations occur over ''protected airspace,'' but you do not clarify what this means. I admit to not having yet obtained publicized accounts of recent superpower air confrontations. However, it has been my understanding that the majority of these intercepts and mock combats do not occur within territorial airspace, but adjacent to those airspaces, i.e. international airspace. The Libyan shootdown occurred in international airspace, in an area where civilian air traffic control resides in Libya. This area is also a declared Special Use Airspace, designated thus as a warning that military operations (Libyan) frequently occur within this area -- see ONC Aeronautical Charts and the FAA Airman's Manual. • As far as the Libyans breaking the "rules," US rules see Letters, page 3 briefing, the F-14s actually turned to intercept the MiGs four· minutes before the shootdown. The terms "intercept" and "avoid" appear to be mutually exclusive, yet most newspapers buried the new information in their news stories that day. To date, no newspaper to my knowledge has pointed out the contradiction. Additionally, no newspaper has revealed the background data of previous US/Libyan fighter interceptions. In the more than 130 previously reported interceptions off the Libyan coast during the past six years, no shots have been fired. Taken together, these two woefully ignored issues cast serious doubt on the US claim of self-defense. By ignoring these issues and relying instead on the government's official briefings for the bulk of their news stories, the US media has done the American people a disservice. Perpetuating official but muddled facts is not my idea of a well run free press. !TORCH EDITOR: Alice C.

Scholarship reference book available thru C/5 by John Brambora for the TORCH LCC s Career Information Center provides information on the 200 different national, state, and local scholarships which are available to help students fund their education. Most of this information is available on the Oregon Career Information System (CIS), a computerized list of scholarships, organized by category, prepared for student and community use. The CIS reference book describes the major sources of financial aid for college, and post-secondary vocational education. The overview section describes grants, loans, work programs, private and Letters special programs, and aid for military personnel. It also answers questions and lists steps and books about financial aid. The book also includes information about specific national, state, and some local scholarships. These scholarships are organized into six major groups: schooling in a particular field of study, talent awards, academic excellence personal need, and characteristics, organizational affiliation, and local scholarships. The six major groups are then divided into 37 categories, with a directory appearing in the table of contents. Each category begins with a list of the scholarships within that category, listed alphabetically by sponsor. A complete alphabetical index of the scholarships appears at the end of the book as well. The individual entries provide enough information to help students determine whether they are eligible and how to begin the application process. Other locations on campus-such as the Financial Aid Office, the Multicultural Center, the Women's Center, and the Learning Resource Center-also provide information on scholarships. Jean Conklin, career infor. mation specialist for the Career Information Center, says her goal is ''to have all Financial Aid workshops The Financial Aid Office is offering workshops on how to fill out the 1989-90 financial aid form.

Thus, it is impossible to independently verify whether they were broken. However, the inconsistencies of our forces in interpreting their ''self-defense'' should be apparent. The day after the shootdown, the Defense Department revealed the following: two minutes after the MiGs were detected heading north, the F-14s turned south to intercept them -- see The N. Y. Times, Jan. 6, 1989. This information directly contradicts continued US Government assertions that the F-14s were trying to avoid the MiGs and should shed new light on the 20 - 30 degree turns we call evasive maneuvers. This also clouds the issue of self-defense as both aircraft formations (armed and using their radars) were apparently on the same mission -- to intercept each other.

The Peer Mentor Program may be just for you. Ken Dutchess, a former music major turned international studies student, says he became involved in Peer Mentor through a friend. '' I had an interest in studying different cultures," says Dutchess, "and so last year I jumped at the chance to join. We act as a kind of support group for the international students.'' John White, a biology major, says he came to the MultiCultural Center last spring to Miller accepts mayoral post Historically it has benefited foreign students to study here because they could learn the '' great western technology,'' says Davis.

They may do the same thing but do it quite differently." Davis observes that there are a few problems identified with accustoming our society and international students to each other.

Each year the NILD program aids 140 women with Master's degrees develop their leadership skills. In talking with Davis, Baker, who has a Master's in education, found the foreign students needed something more personal than what the school environment afforded and the idea of a buddy system emerged. After extensive research, Baker found no other northwest community college campus had a foreign student support group of peers either. Baker developed the Peer Mentor Program and found funding for the first year from the National Association of Foreign Student Advisers. NAFSA provided the seed money on condition the College would insure funding there after. '' Last year I made a presentation of the Peer Mentor Program to the International Intercultural Consortium (one of the organizations NAFSA is comprised of).

Promotional video released by Andy Dunn TO RC H Entertai nment Edito r LCC' s new promotional video was completed at the end of last term and is now being distributed to the 23 public high schools within the LCC school district. According to Shan Titus, high school relations specialist, the IO-minute college recruitment video will supplement existing slide show presentations and is designed to present a high quality image of the college. Titus will use the video in her high school visitations, and copies are available to departments for marketing in the community. Westcom Productions began working on the video last spring and charged LCC $6,850 for the finished product. The video follows the conversation of two Springfield High School students (Jeremy Southard and Tiffany Hasek) as they discuss their college plans. Hasek, who has decided to attend LCC, tells Southard about the low cost, variety of classes, and other benefits LCC has to offer. While Hasek narrates, hundreds of shots of the campus roll by spliced together by high tech video cuts and wipes. Titus admits that some local high school students have a negative image of LCC which she says is unwarranted. She attributes these negative views to those students who are prestige- or large collegeoriented. She hopes that a professional quality video such as this will show LCC in a serious academic light and emphasize such points as LCC's national ranking in the top 10 of community colleges.

Harder Ed Butler Column by J oho Piper Ever spend the first five minutes of the new year in a supermarket? Here's how it happened to me. I was assembling a batch of cornbread and had run out of yogurt, an essential ingredient in my favorite recipe. I walked to Safeway and was grabbing some from the dairy case when a voice came over the intercom. It was midnight, and they were closing the registers for five minutes to count their take. I was stuck. After wandering aimlessly through the store for a minute or two, I wound up in the cereal aisle. I'm sure you're already aware of the unhealthy nature of what big cereal companies sell to America's youth. But have you ever taken a close look at the incentives they offer for buying their products? The send-in-10-proofs-of-puchase-for-trinkets scam is repulsive enough, certainly, but the scarier aspect of kids' cereal promotion is the instant gratification angle: the prize at the bottom of the box. In all fairness I feel compelled to mention that Kellogg's says it will give you a free can of Campbell's soup if you buy a box of corn flakes. But corn flakes doesn't really have enough sugar, or an obnoxious enough mascot, to qualify as a "kids' cereal" by any reasonable definition of the term. As an aside, I'd also like to award the Piper Surrealism Award to Krispix cereal for including, at no extra cost to the consumer, a blank key in every box. But now to the point: I found, in the first five minutes of this year, that the majority of kids' cereal prizes fall into two categories. The first category is candy. As if the near-lethal dosage of white sugar the stuff is laced with in the first place weren't enough, a number of cereal companies have compounded this transgression against public health by including packages of chewing gum (you can bet it wasn't Dentyne) and even M&Ms. The second category I have given the working title "Death Toys": Ghost Monster Sticker Inside! Toothy And Frightening Ocean Creatures! Glow-In-The-Dark Plastic Skull -- Collect All Three! They're too young for sex imagery, so the advertisers try to hook 'em with sugar instead. But it would appear that, in America, you're never too young for images of impending or recent violence. If the rest of this year is as strange for me as its first five minutes were, I thought as I returned home to my stove, I may not live to see 1990. 2,000 r frames ASLCC free legal services • Routine legal services available at no cost to students. • Phone 2340 for appointment. _Food for thought . .. and 3,000 pairs of contacts, 3 optometrists and 26 staff members means fast service and a great selection.

Zemek The above named earned stud en ts perfect grade point averages of 4.0 while taking a full credit load of at least 12 credits during Fall Term, 1988. Congratulations! Students may keep transcript info from public by Alice Wheeler TORCH Editor Most students would be proud to have their names on the fall term President's List, which indicates a perfect 4.0 grade point average for 12 or more credits. For whatever reasons, some students may have requested the college to keep such personal information confidential. A federal law known as the ''Buckley Amendment'' mandates the protection of students' privacy rights, including the confidentiality of transcript information. And the LCC Student Records Office, which maintains college student academic records, has developed procedures in order to comply with student privacy rights. Jolene Bowers, supervisor of the Student Records Office, says that a student's transcript can be viewed only by that student, a person with an authorized release form signed by the student, or a school employee on official business in a schoolstudent relationship. For example, if a student's parents request to see their son or daughter's transcript, they are denied access unless their son or daughter has signed a release • granting them permission. Bowers says, however, these laws may vary for students who are 18 years of age or younger. Under special circumstances the FBI or police may subpoena the Student Records Office for access to all records and transcripts. In this situation the college would notify the student and offer him/her the right to see the records before they are sent out to the requesting agency. Every term the college compiles a non-circulating student directory which includes all registered students' names, addresses, phone numbers, and majors. But a student can request that this information, with the exception of his/her name, be withheld by- signing a Student Directory Exemption Card. Bowers says signing the exemption card also prohibits the college from releasing personal information, honors lists, date of graduation, period of enrollment, and major field of study. set through college DY the seat ot your oants! .. , . :::;:if LTD makes it cheap and easy to go to college.

But Loos is still trying to squeeze the most out of his team by trying different combinations. "We've made a couple of adjustments as far as positions and location on the floor," he says. ''Three or four kids have been real consistent this year, they are working themselves into starting positions." Kelly Harington has been among the players Loos has moved to try to get those winning numbers. "Harington has been coming on," said Loos. "She got a late start because of eligibility. We were using her as an inside player, but we moved her outside; I think she's more comfortable there. "And I've moved Krista Gorham inside, that's been a big help for us." The Titan coach has been pleased with the progress his team has been making. ''The girls are starting to find their places on the floor and rebounding," says the hopeful head coach: ''Our rebounding has improved since the beginning of the season.'' Even without the combination to open the lock to consistant play, the Titans will put a team on the court against Clackamas Saturday night at Lane and hope to break the bank. Game time is 6 p.m., followed by the men's game. The Titans pulled the lock and came up empty handed when they lost to seventh ranked Chemeketa 82-68 Sat. Jan. 7. Loos has been worried about the aggressiveness of his team. "We've been competitive, but against Chemeketa we got beat decisively on the boards." "A lot of that is just being scrappy and picking up the loose balls,'' Loos explains. ''That was one thing we didn't do against Chemeketa. We stood a little bit. "That was the difference that could have helped. "It was a back-and-fourth game," says Loos. Although Lane "spotted Chemeketa 14 points at the beginning,'' the team battled back to pull within as much as six and finished the first half nine points down. But Chemeketa was too much for the Titans, and Clackamas CC is now staring them right in the face. Freshman Colleen Ramey tosses up a shot over the . Scott EaS tburn defense. Ramey and the Titans will take on Clackamas Sat. Titan men suffer tough losses: 'chemistry' _wrong by Paul Morgan TORCH Sports Editor As young as the season is, the Titan men's basketball team has lost some tough games. First it was Umpqua CC, 68-64, in the Southwestern Oregon Tournament Nov. 26; then it was Northwest Christian College, 84-75, Nov. 30, when NCC came back from six points down at half to beat the Titans. NCC kept the Titans' number and called again Dec. 30 to shock LCC with a 30-foot desperation shot while time ran out to win, 67-64. But after starting off the league season on the right foot by squashing SWOCC, 67-51, the Titans were tripped up by third-ranked Chemeketa CC. "I was pleased that we played good basketball for 37 minutes" against Chemeketa, said Head Coach Dale Bates. ''The guys followed the game plan real well . . . we took it to 'em." Although they kept themselves in the game for the first half and most of the second, LCC did a good job letting the game slip away. With three minutes left in the game and Lane down by two, the Titans began to fall apart. "We dropped back a couple, missed the front end of a one-and-one at the line; they scored and we were down by four," explained Bates. "We seemed to hurry and panic. "Then we didn't get the good shot and they scored again,'' putting LCC down by six. The Titans stepped into their own grave when they missed the front end of another one-and-one situation. '' As a result of trying to hurry and play with a fast tempo, we had two or three tur- novers the last couple of minutes, and boom . . . we end up losing by 13," sighed Bates. "I think it's just the chemistry of the team," he continued. "We didn't play together the last two or three minutes: We forced plays and turned the ball over. "I think it's a problem we will be plagued with all season.'' The Titans hope they can overcome their problems when they take on Clackamas CC Saturday Jan. 14 night at Lane. Clackamas has beaten Lane the last two times they have met. Game time is 8 p.m. ''We have to execute our half court game, and have to keep from turning the ball over too many times," said Bates. "That will be the deciding factor.'' Bates has been having his team practice using patience on offense, looking for the good shot. "We've spent a lot of time in half court scrimmages, rotating people in, taking more time and patience,'' explained Bates. There are some bright spots in LCC's attack. The Titans have held the rebounding edge in most of their games, and, in games through Dec. 30, they have out-rebounded their opponents 519-473. The Titans have also done well on defense. Teams have shot just 37.5 percent (295-785) against LCC. But the Titans have managed only slightly better on offense, shooting 44.5 percent (343-770) from the field. Bates said he has most of his lineup set for the Clackamas game. Freshman Marty Huff, who leads the team in rebounds with 8.14 per game, will start in the post position. Harold Sophomores Michaud and Mike Surmeier wil start in the forward positions for the Titans. Through 11 games, Michaud leads the Titans in scoring with 18.6 points per game. Surmeier is third on the team in both scoring and rebounding. Sophomore Don Holly will fill one of the guard positions. Holly has been very consistant for the Titans, averaging 14.8 points, 5 .6 rbs., and leads the team with 4.5 assists per game.

OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK EXP. 1/27/89 The TORCH January 13, 1989 Page 7 Weekend NLP class may be too intense MLK fund by Kimberly Buchanan TORCH Staff Writer When students began the first 30-hour weekend class in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) 1, "some were tired and some were worried,'' says NLP Master Practitioner, Trainer, • and instructor Nancy Beplat. But, she adds, when the class was over, most people were "standing up straight and had less worry lines on their faces and more smiles.'' 'Communication Analysis' Co-Instructor John Klobas, also an NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer, describes NLP as an analysis of the methods people use to gather, store, access, process, and apply information. He says if NLP students are sensitive and perceive the patterns a person uses to process information, they could use the same style to be efficient in providing and getting information. To accommodate the high enrollment for the first class, the Social Science Department offered NLP 1 in two sections -- the first on Nov. 4, 5, and 6, the second on Nov. 11, 12, and 13. The intensive three-credit course, taught in a three-day weekend, was the first of six sequential NLP courses now offered as part of a two-year social science program. Student evaluations indicate that most of the students found NLP 1 beneficial, reports Beplat. Klobas agrees that the first course was successful overall. Out of the 120 people who registered, 100 students completed the session, "which means we had about a 90 percent completion rate," says Klobas. Forty people finished the class the first weekend, and 60 people finished the second. 'Far From Perfect' Nonetheless, admits Klobas, "It was far from perfect. There are a number of things to work on." He says problems ranged from finding a suitable room for the large class to fin.ding a way to pay for refreshments -- and to pay for two instructors teaching the single class. Although the November sessions were long, Klobas says Friday-to-Sunday classes are an advantage because people outside the Eugene-Springfield area can complete the course in the condensed time frame. Travelers came from Bend, Portland, Florence, Cottage Grove, Roseburg, and Grants Pass to attend the first NLP class. But he acknowledges that weekend sessions may be too intensive. One student contacted by the TORCH thinks this was the APPLICATIONS NOW BEING ACCEPTED FOR THE PAID POSITION OF case. Mary Quarles says it would have been better if the class had been spread out over a 10-week term -- for the amount of information that was provided. And, in her opinion, "It was a pretty intense experience ... It would have been better as a smaller group, or to have more qualified people to help everyone out.'' Klobas also says the high enrollment required a place on campus to accommodate 50-75 people in both large and small groups. But those LCC rooms large enough are usually occupied on weekends. He also says it's tough to find a place in town to reserve for a weekend since places like churches, hotels, and community centers tend to be busy. "What we really need is a place in the community to rent for 30 hours a weekend," says Klobas. The two instructors are happy that people were committed and did the work. "Everybody was amazed that we were able to spend so much time together and learn as much as we did,'' reports Beplat. She says most students seemed to enjoy having two instructors, although some said it was confusing at times. "We are also learning," says Beplat. "In fact I think we learned as much as the students did--and maybe even more." The Next Sessions The six NLP courses are offered as part of the two-year vocational LCC Community Service Program (CSP). The courses are listed in sequence as follows: NLP 1: Sensory Acuity and Rapport - CSP 221 NLP 2: Anchoring and Reframing - CSP 222 NLP 3: Chunking and Sequencing - CSP 223 NLP 4: Modeling Excellence - CSP 224 NLP 5: Models, Metaphors, and Influence - CSP 225 NLP 6: Advanced Strategies - CSP 226 NLP 2 will be offered winter term on Feb. 3, 4, and 5. Klobas stresses that the classes cannot be taken out of sequence unless the student negotiates with him and Beplat. While students cannot take NLP 1 again this college year, they may enroll in a similar course, titled Trends in Social Science: Learning Strategies. The class, which will satisfy the prerequisite for NLP 2, will be held at the Cottage Grove Center on Jan. 20, 21, and 22 from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. It is also a three-credit, 30-hour class and will cost approximately $75. Students may also ask to meet with Klobas and Beplat. The instructors may be able to determine if the students' skills are at the same level as those of students who completed NLP 1.

The Fund, established under the non-profit umbrella of the LCC Foundation, will help to insure that the Dream truly does live on in this community. It does so, says Stewart, by providing a way to receive donations from groups and individuals. Jacquelyn Belcher, vicepresident for Instruction and honorary chairman for this year's MLK tribute, has agreed to ASLCC's request to be the trustee for the Fund. Pleased to be involved with the Fund, Belcher says community colleges embrace what King was all about -'' ... people having the choice to be what they want to be . . . We are as free as the options we have in life.'' When asked if King's life inspired her career choice, Belcher reflected a moment before responding that someone before King inspired that choice, but King did leave her the idea of service. Belcher expressed pride in being able to say the most important idea surrounding the Fund is that it was initiated by students. Stewart says the original concept of a trust fund came out of MLK Task Force brainstorming. After other avenues remained unproductive, Stewart suggested the trust fund might be formed through LCC. "In the past it has been said, 'This (the MLK Commemoration) is too big for you (ASLCC and LCC),' " says Stewart. ''This is a way to insure LCC's leadership role in producing the event." ''Not only do you need to be a good leader,'' says ASLCC President John Millet, "but you need to be a good steward as well." Millet says he was approached by Stewart with the idea of a trust fund and in turn contacted Joe Farmer, the LCC Foundation's administrator. "One advantage of affiliating with the LCC Foundation is it already is an established fundraising organization,'' says Millet, "and as such carries more weight when approaching potential donors." Millet says establishing the MLK trust means year-long fund raising, and protects the Commemoration from falling subject to waning political interests of the ASLCC. A step into the future Pilots save money by Shinri Endo for the TORCH Nine new Japanese aviation candidates started a helicopter flight training program in the L CC Fligh t T echno log y Department fall term. Despite languag e and cultural differences, the students are dramatically improving their skills, says Hideo Ono, a volunteer assistant flight instructor for Japanese students. Fifteen new students will join the program spring term. One student, Masayuki Nakamura, who is pursuing an FAA commercial helicopter pilot's license, came to the US to study because he was concerned with his financial situation in Japan. "Because of financial difficulties I gave up entering Japanese flight school," he says. "That is my first reason to make the decision to come here." Tuition for Japanese flight school is about twice as high as costs in US schools. The Japanese students spent 12 hours a day flying and studying, and Nakamura is spending a great deal of his time mastering communication in English. '' My most difficult part of the program is how to communicate using radio devices between I and tower control. In every flight, I am recording my voice ... communicating with tower control, and check my conversation after flight," · he says. Nakamura's goal is to become a professional helicopter pilot. He expects a new heliport building program in Japan and he says, "If this project is -:ompleted, a helicopter transportation business will be started through Japan ... It is obvious that demand for pilots will increase as well. I expect to join the business as a pilot."

Wheeler TORCH Editor The budget-cutting process was the primary topic of concern at the All Campus Conference on Wed., Jan. 11. This was the second conference of the academic year, with the first being held a few days after the November failure of the proposed tax base increase. Questions were submitted by the campus community to members of a panel made up of LCC administrators. A few of the questions raised are of particular interest tQ students. Vice President Richard Hillier reported on some of the revenue-generating proposals that were submitted to his office last fall. Ideas included staff and administration members working without pay • for one or two days per year, charging students and faculty for on-campus parking, and selling LCC land assets not currently being used. Another important issue was whether the college would cut back faculty at a time when enrollment is increasing. Interim President Jack Carter responded, saying that the college will not have enough money to support all the staff currently employed by the college. Hillier said that although ''We should gain substantially more money due to increasing FTE (full time equivalency)," the college will not gain increased funding from the state until 1990-91. There was also a question about the efficiency of owning the Siltcoos property and leasing the Heceta house. These properties cost approximately $12,000 a year to maintain, and are available to students only through planned field trips.

The TORCH January 13, 1989 Page 9 Army offers some moneta ry options by Angelo Verna for the TORCH In an effort to increase personnel in its Reserve units, the Army is offering monetary incentives to attract college students into the ranks. Options offered students include the Montgomery GI Bill and the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP). Both prior service veterans and new recruits under 38 years of age may qualify, provided they meet the military entrance qualifications. ''The Army offers a very attractive package to young men and women seeking to learn technical job skills, as well as offering them the opportunity to repay their student loans or accumulate more money for continuing their education," states Sergeant First Class William Norvell, Army Reserve recruiter. The Montgomery GI Bill pays the soldier enrolled in the program up to $5040, or $140/month for 36 months, if enrolled in school full time. The Student Loan Repayment Program will pay 15 percent, or $500 plus interest per year--up to $10,000--of a student's government or bank loan, whichever is greater, for every year the student remains in the active Reserves. According to Norvell, new soldiers joining the Army Reserves must successfully pass a physical evaluation and the Armed Services written test as well as basic and Advanced Individual Training (AIT), which is usually completed during the summer months. The successful applicant is then assigned to a local Army Reserve unit, and reports for duty one weekend per month for further training acquired during AIT. Two weeks of fulltime training per year are also required.

Wheeler a home-based training and development firm. The LCC Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is planning a workshop for home-based business owners on Feb. 4. The workshop, entitled Developing a Successful Home-Based Business, is designed to help people who are considering working out of their homes and those who already have home-based businesses. Because of changes in the workplace, technology, and social values, many small business owners work at home in order to market their products or services, says an SBDC news release. The SBDC says that although running a homebased business provides entrepreneurs with opportunities for indepe_ndence and creativity, it also presents unique problems. The workshop will be lead by Marge Cieri, president of Mardac Consultants, and John Stoeker, PhD., owner of Cieri and Stoeker will use lectures, videos, group activities and exercises to teach workshop participants how to recognize their potential and develop the personal traits needed to operate a successful home-based business. Also covered in the workshop: how to identify customers and their specific needs; how to approach governmental and legal issues for home-based business; how to create a working environment and routine that is compatible with a pleasant home life; and how to develop simple but useful business plans, TORCH Editor WANTED We buy stereos, VCR's & sound equipment.

"Class Challenge" and "Go for Baroque" were the two quiz shows offered to LCC students as a way to test knowledge and review material learned throughout the term. The Performing Arts Department's music history class, taught by Barbara Myrick, was the first to participate in the quiz show. Myrick wrote out the questions, class members served as the audience, and three students were contestants. Each . started with 1000 points and whoever had the most points at the end of the game won. The top prize was lunch for two in LCC's Renaissance Room; the runners-up received $2 gift certificates to the LCC Bookstore. The prizes are expected to increase as more shows are offered. Mass Communications student Doug Miller operates a video camera in Studio One downstairs in the Forum Building for the premier of LCC's quiz show "Class Challenge." The game show set was originally built for KGW for $60,000. It was donated last spring at the request of a former LCC student who now works at KGW as a documentary cameraman. The 25-piece set, which is equipped with flashing lights, electronic buzzers, and a roulette wheel, takes up over half : he space of the Mass Communication Department's Studio A. Students filled most of the quiz show's crew positions and Electronic Music students composed the theme music for the show. The off-camera announcer and host were from the Performing Arts and Mass Communication Departments. Various LCC organizations donated the prizes in exchange for promotional mentions. Video and Broadcasting Instructor Mike Hopkinson says that the set is good in that "students could experience the quiz show format.'' He says the shows are also a good source of learning for classes and good practice for television production students in the Mass Communication Department. The next quiz show will be a "Class Challenge'' and is tentatively scheduled for production in early February. Mass Communications is currently contacting instructors from various departments for possible participation.

Students discuss the music pieces, meet guest performers, and attend rehearsals and concerts. Contemporary Directions in Music (MUS 206) meets Wednesday evenings 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. in Room 121 of the Performing Arts Building. Additional meetings are scheduled at the Hult Center for rehearsals and performances. According to Instructor Barbara Myrick, there is no prerequesite and students can still register to audit the class this week. But students seeking credit for the class may have to wait until next term. The two-credit class costs $55 ($15 for senior citizens) whether it is taken for credit or audited . Myrick says this price is an especially good value since the ticket prices are included in the cost of the class. If purchased separately, the lower orchestra seats for this term's three sym;,honies would cost approximately $52. She adds that teaching this class is an enjoyable experience for her. This is where she can pursue her interest in all aspects of the symphony -from backstage gossip and controversy to the latest trends in classical music. Students desiring to sign up for this term's Contemporary Directions in Music should contact the Performing Arts Department. •
