As the last note of the Symphony of Brotherhood filled the

walked on stage and told the audience, "Due to technical difficulties, we will have to empty the theater."
With the memory of the beautiful tribute to Martin Luther
King Jr in mind, people filed out of the Hult Center and into the
street.

Racial crimes cause local concern
by Jessica Schabtach
TORCH Associate Editor
Escalating crimes against
minorities in Lane County
prompted representatives of
the Eugene Police Force and
of several local civil rights
groups to hold a press conference Monday, Jan. 16.
The meeting was organized
by the local branch of the
American Civil Liberties
Union (ACLU) and Clergy
and Laity Concerned in
response to two separate incidents last week in which a
black man was beaten in a
Eugene parking garage and
racial slurs were written on the
Chicano Affairs Center
building on Polk Street.
But NAACP representative
Charles Dalton said these are
not isolated or unique cases.
"Racial violence is nothing
new," he said. "I doubt that
there are any black people in
this town who are surprised at
what's happening.''
He said that racial incidents
occur frequently in Eugene -that blacks receive threatening phone calls and are the
subject of verbal and physical
harassmant every week.
A Chicano Affairs Center
spokesman agreed that local
racism is common, and cited
of
harassment
police
minorities and insensitivity
toward racial incidents.
Tim Hughes of the Gay and
Lesbian Alliance (GALA)
reported frequent harassment
of homosexuals, particularly
since the passage of Ballot
Measure 8 last November, and
mentioned a recent beating of
a GALA member outside of a
U of O dorm. Hughes said
that crimes against homosexuals are frequently not
reported because gays often
don't want family, friends, or
employers to know their sexual preferences.
Dalton (NAACP) urged
people to bring crimes against
minorities into the public
arena. "It's essential that people not remain silent," he
declared.
He also claims that silence
has helped perpetuate bigotry
in the county, and that
although Eugene considers
itself a liberal community, its
residents have not made active
efforts to stop racism.
Jan Oliver, director of the
UO Advancement of Minority
Education program, suggested
that a systematic approach
and strong, positive attention
are necessary. "We know
that's our lives that are dying
with that lack of attention (to
racism)," she said.
Lane County Sheriff David
Burke also stressed the importance of speaking out, and
described an "open door"
policy in the police department
which he hopes will encourage
people to report all harassment.
Likewise, District Attorney
Doug Harkleroad promised

Seventh Avenue and surrounding streets till the area directly
around the Hult Center was clear.
As the words "bomb threat" spread through the crowd, at
first frustration and disgust surfaced on peoples' faces and in
their conversations.
But then strength and determination took over.
Music started to fill the air. Members of the two choirs perfor- .
ming in the celebration led the crowds in song. We Shall Overcome and Give Peace a Chance were just two of the songs that
could be heard in the streets around the Hult.
Sergeant McCarthy of the Eugene Police Department told
members of the press that a man who called himself Mr. K of the
KKK had called in two times during the evening. In one of the
calls to the receptionist at the Hult, K reportedly said he wanted
a certain amount of money dropped off at a local address (which
turned out to be nonexistent) within an hour. K said that if the
money was not delivered, a bomb would go off in the Hult
Center. The receptionist estimated the caller's age to be between
50-60.
Eugene Mayor Jeff Miller told the TORCH that the only person who would do such a thing must be crazy.

King's dream
lies ahead
Forum by John Millet
ASLCC President
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
once said that he had climbed
to the mountaintop and peered
over the other side and seen
the Promised Land.
Where did Dr. King see that
promised land? Was it in
Selma, AL, Little Rock, AR,
or Eugene, OR? The Promised
Land is at once all of these
places and not any of these
places, for the Promised Land
that Dr. King saw was not a
geographical location or country but a spirit in the heart and
souls of the peoples of these
places.
Monday evening as I
prepared for the beginning of
the performance of The
Dream Lives at the Hult
Center, I thought in my arrogance that I could see
shadows of the dream and
hear echoes resonating from
the Promised Land. I had
mistaken the glitz of a wellprepared show and the celebrity of press conferences and
receptions for ''The Dream.''
Soon after the show began
we received a series of phone
calls which grounded my version of the dream. After an
hour of negotiating with the
police, the Hult Center staff,
and Commissioner King to
keep my dream alive I was
deeply shaken and felt all was
lost. My dream was dead.
At 9:35 I stepped outside of

January 20, 1989
I would like to express my
appreciation to three members
of the student government
who put countless hours and
energy into creating and producing this year's Martin
Luther King Jr Celebration.
As members of the ASLCC,
one of the responsibilities
which they assume is to identify to the college and local
community the ideas, dreams,
and needs of the entire student
body at LCC.
John -Millet, ASLCC president, Michael Stewart ASLCC
cultural director, and Randy
Brown, assistant to the
cultural director, represented
the students well in the Jan. 16
Dream Lives celebration at the
Hult Center for the Performing Arts.
Stewart began planning for
this event last spring -- immediately after his re-election
to the position of student
government cultural director.
As the plans progressed, more
and more community groups
became involved in the
celebration.
Since the ASLCC started
planning for the celebration
last fall, I have heard the
ASLCC express many different goals for the event: to
promote LCC in the community, to create a network
and build a coalition within
the community, and to express
its appreciation of Dr. King's
work.
This kind of work is common to the members of the
ASLCC. All through the year
it has spoken out on important
issues, people, and places:
di sabled access, Central
America, politics, the Israeli Palestinian confrontation,
multi-cultural student activities, and Martin Luther
King Jr. This spring it will
again sponsor Peace Week.
I have heard students comment or complain that they
don't know what the ASLCC
does or that it doesn't db
enough. Students should take
the time to go to an ASLCC
meeting (meetings are open to
the public, 4 p.m. on Mondays) and express their
thoughts and find out how
they can get involved in what
is going on.
The ASLCC is conce1 ned
about student interests. It is
concerned about making this
college a better place to acquire an education. Most importantly, it is concerned with
local and world issues, and it
works very hard to make information available to the student body.

Five children are dead and

It is sickening!
The children who were killed in Stockton, CA on Jan.
17 were of Vietnamese and
Cambodian descent.
The Stockton police would
make no comment about a
possible motive, but it is hard
to deny the possibility of racial
motives.
The white man in his early
20s, who was kind enough to
kill himself after he massacred
these innocent children,
bought his semi-automatic
weapon, an AK-47, in Oregon.
News reports state the man
had a long police record.
Number one: Why was this
man allowed to buy the
weapon?
Number two: Why are these
kinds of weapons even

Will students have much to say about the st;ection of LCC's next president?
The answer is yes, if they care to attend a meeting on Jan. 25 between students and
members of the LCC Board of Education about the desired qualifications of the president
who will be hired by this time next year.
The information which the board will gather at the meeting will be used in creating a
presidential profile and jQ__b description to be used in the presidential search.
The student/board meeting will be_held from 1-3 p.m. in Room 478 of the Center
Building.
ASLCC Pres. John Millet says that because this institution is primarily concerned with the
education of students, student involvement is vital in the search process.
Millet says he has specifically asked members of the Women's Awareness Center, Disabled
Student Advisory Club, Multi-Cultural Center, and ASLCC to attend the meeting and express the concerns of their groups.
The Presidential Search Committee includes two student representative positions. One of
these is filled by a member of the ASLCC. The other will be filled by a member of the student body at large who is appointed by the ASLCC through an application process.
Millet says that this position has not yet been selected and that he "hopes to have some
students come forward at this meeting and express some real interest in being involved in the
search process."
The board will meet with members of the LCC classified staff on Jan. 24 at 3:30 p.m. and
the local community at 7:30 p.m. at the LCC Downtown Center. On Jan. 25 the board will
meet with LCC management at 10 a.m. and faculty at 3:30. All main campus meetings are in

victory that was closer than
the score might indicate. The
win raised the Titan's record
to 2-3 in league and 11-5
overall.
Lane was on the brink of
closing the oven on the
Cougars, but could not defrost
the cold shooting that has
plagued the Titans recently.
"We didn't shoot the ball
. well," said Head Coach Dale
Bates. "We had some nice
shots but they didn't drop.
"We've been bothered by
that ... we just haven't been
shooting like we can."
The Titans were without
some fire power, though,
because leading scorer Harold
Michaud was out with
pneumonia.
The Titans jumped out to a
16-8 lead and continued to
shut down the Cougar offense
through the first half. Lane
closed out the half with a
28-18 lead, but things got
tough after the break.
The Cougars clawed their
way back at the start of the second with a 12-3 run that put
them within one, 31-30, with
16 minutes left in the game.
"We just weren't in the
groove,'' said guard Don Holly, who led all scorers with 25
points and 5 assists.

Titan women looking to future after Clackamas loss, 61-38
by Paul Morgan
TO RC H Sports Editor
There is something every
sports team will tell you: It's
tough when you're losing
games.
That is the feeling of LCC' s
women's basketball team,
which is trapped under a three
game losing streak including a
disappointing 61-38 loss to
Clackamas CC Saturday, Jan.
14. The defeat dropped the
Titans to 1-3 in Southern Division play and 3-10 overall.
"It's just hard when you're
not winning games," explained freshman Krista Gorham,
who lead the Titans with 10
points. "We're going through
a lot of frustration right
now."
Head Coach David Loos
agrees. "We're just tired of
getting beat," he sighed.
The Titans held tight during
the first half against
Clackamas. Lane jumped out
to a 14-10 lead, but the
Cougars came back to tie the
game at 14 with 6:49 left in the
half.
Then Clackamas went on a
10-2 tear that catapulted the
Cougars to a 24-16 lead.
But the Titans overcame the
turnovers that led to the
Cougars streak, and built one
of their own. Gorham sank
two shots and Michelle
Mathews, who finished the
game with 6 points, added
another IO-footer to pull the
Titans within two, 24-22.
The Cougars opened their
lead to four, 28-24, at the half.
"Our game plan was to slow
it down a little bit and keep the
score close instead of running
and pressing like we've done

6 points against Clackamas.
most of the year ," explained
Loos. "We wanted to take
some time off the clock, and it
worked real well for us in the
first half."
Clackamas used the Titan's
turnovers and cold shooting to
open the game up with a 16-4
run at the start of the second
half.
Freshman Colleen Ramey,
who had 6 points, sank two
free throws to pull Lane within
14, 44-30. But with 11 :02 left
in the game Gorham got her
fourth foul, and had to be
pulled from the game.
Two free throws and a
17-footer by Tracie Looney,
four of her six points, and
jumper by Mathews was all the
Titans could muster as the
Cougars opened up a 57-36
lead with 4:51 left in the game.
By the time Loos put most
of his bench team in, the
Titans were down 61-36, and
the team looked pretty
solemn.
With 15 seconds left in the
game, Gorham put down the
last two points for Lane,
which gave them only 14 for
the half.
"We seem to be out of
sync," speculated Loos. "I
don't know why.
"We just couldn't hit the
hoop. It wasn't so much what
the Cougars did ... just self
destruction."
le~ just isn't cold enough to
describe the Titan's shooting.
Lane could only manage 5 for
24 shooting in the second half.
The Titans had trouble
breaking a Cougar full court
press in the second half that
gave them few troubles in the
photo by Sean D. Elliot
Freshman Julie Minter takes a jump shot in the lane. Minter and
the Titans will take on Mount Hood Sat. Jan. 21 at 6 p.m.
first half.
"We tried to fight the
pressure instead of passing the
ball," said Loos. "It wasn't
something we haven't seen,
and we run it ourselves in
practice. We just weren't mentally ready."
After the game the Titans
had a long team meeting to try
to iron out some problems.
"The team emotion is getting better," said Gorham. "I
think we need to go out and
give our best because we need
to win the next two games."
''I'm still optimistic,''
agreed Loos. "We've played
the three toughest teams in our
division in a row ... two on
the road.
"So when we come to the
second half of the season I
think we'll be in good shape,"
he added. "We played them,
and have tapes on them. So
we'll break it down a bit and
be ready to go."
The Titans hope they are
ready to go because Mount
Hood comes to town Saturday, Jan. 21. Mount Hood brings its 2-3 record and puts it
on the line at 6 p.m.

Dream,
Deadly dangerous
Column by John F. Piper
TORCH Sta ff Writer
Sunday night I got an urgent phone call from a friend.
One of her friends was having a serious crisis requiring a
ride into town, and I was the only person my friend knew
who had a car.
I wasted no time asking questions, but sped over to her
place, then out to her friend's house in Springfield. The
place was a textbook definition of squalor. Huge potholes
in the gravel drive. Trash piled waist-deep outside the
•
doorway.
Revolted, I turned away, only to find myself staring at
the Boy Scouts' billboard across the street. Drugs -- a
dangerous game. Grim black letters on a yellow
background, with a giant skeletal hand crossing out the
word "dangerous" and substituting "deadly" in a bloodred scrawl. That made me think.
Nobody gets to be a recovering drug addict without finding out that drugs are, indeed, a deadly game. A constant
awareness of that fact is one of the main reasons I've been
clean as long as I have.
So this billboard was obviously not meant for me. That
made me angry - that the Boy Scouts of America are inadvertently contributing to drug use among minors.
In a society such as ours, where there are so few rites of
passage, against what does one test oneself to prove worthiness for adulthood? That which society labels most
dangerous.
This is drugs. This is your brain on drugs. Wow, anyone
who could survive that with health and sanity intact would
really be a hero! And another hungry juvie is hooked.
That's how I got started, that's how my friend L. gol
started, and that's how her friend A., whom L. had come
out here to the hinterlands to rescue, got started. That's
how every addict in my generation got started.
We were trying to win adulthood.
Some of us died trying. Some are still dying out there. A
very lucky, very few of us surrendered and got clean.
If you don't have a problem with drugs, I envy you. You
probably found out much sooner than L. or I that there are
no short-cuts to maturity. You'll probably never have to
choose between staying clean and staying with your
friends.
A. had chosen her friends. She got loaded with them the
night before.
As I drove her back to L. 's place, I kept my mouth shut
and wondered just how bad it would have to get before she
finally got clean.
I hoped she wouldn't have to die intoxicated, but part of
me knew that there was nothing I could do about it either
way.
Unless they ask you to, you can't help pry a monkey off
of anybody's back but your own.

the Hult Center Offices, away
from the police, away from
the reporters, away from the
bomb squad; all at once I
could again hear the echoes of
"The Dream"-- not the echoes
of my dream, but of Dr.
King's Dream. The voices rang
loud and clear in the crisp
January air. Dr. King's Dream
was alive and undeterred in the
hearts and souls of the people
who had refused to go home,
who had refused to be overcome by the phone calls which
had grounded my dream.
Now I can honestly say that
along with Dr. King I too have
seen the Promised Land. I
heard it in the voices which
would not be overcome raised
Threat,

moral values and principles

"It is not worthy of us as
human beings, with all that we
have been given in this extraordinary creation ... to
give up and declare that there
is no hope and that we are now
the best that we can or ever
in song. I saw it in the hearts
and souls those who had refused to be swayed from ''The
Dream" by racial violence and
bigotry. "The Dream" does
live; the Promised Land is
real; and all of us stand on the
mountaintop which Dr. King
spoke of, from where the Promised Land is in clear view.
All we have to do is look for it.
The challenge of Dr. King's
Dream is to enlarge the Promised Land; it is not enough
that it is a reality in the hearts
and minds of a few or even a
majority of individuals. The
challenge is to insure that our
institutions not only live up to
but also embody that Dream.
Sisela Bok, a contemporary

Borrowing from that quote
I w.ould like to expound upon
it; it is not worthy of us as
human beings to give up hope
or stop working to reach Dr.
King's Dream until we can see
the Promised Land which Dr.
King gazed upon from that
mountaintop in all of our relationships.

This classic thriller was one
of the great popular successes
of recent Broadway history,
according to director Patrick
Torelle, an LCC theater instructor.
"It's like an eerie blend of
Alfred Hitchcock and Neil
Simon -- sudden shocks mixed
with glib, witty dialogue,"
says Torelle. "Twists, abrupt
turns, and thrills abound. This
is the second time I've worked
on Deathtrap and it it is still
exciting because, like a Hitchcock film, this play continues to reverberate with deep
psychological meaning after
many viewings.''
The story revolves around

writer of Broadway thrillers,

a dry spell which has resulted
in a string of flops and a shortage of funds.
A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives
a script from a former student
of his -- a thriller which Bruhl
believes is a potential Broadway hit. Bruhl devises and implements a pl.an to appropriate
the play idea from the young
student.

for this production. He has
appeared in several Oregon

Mississippi Burning may not
have an obligation to show the
works of black leaders and
organizers during this time
period, since it is, instead,
showing us the reverse side -racism and its victims.
But the film could benefit
by raising the level of blacks,
either by giving them more
central roles or giving them
roles beyond being mere victims.
As for historical inaccuracies, director Alan Parker
has said, "I'm trying to reach
an entire generation who
knows nothing of that
historical event, to cause them
to react to it viscerally, emotionally, because of the racism
that's around them now. And
that's enough of a reason, a
justification, for the fictionalizing.''
If it's a heroic action film
you' re looking for, this is
highly recommended.
ighUy 11 :00 / Sal
~
However, as a witness to
civil rights issues within the
black community or even as an
historical rendering of an important event in US history,
this film fails.
This justification is fine
with me. The film does a good
job of portraying the ugliness
of racism, but unfortunately
the glamorized heroics overwhelm all other aspects.

Mississippi Burning is rated
R and is currently playing at
Cinema World across from
Valley River Center.
January misses
by John F. Piper
TORCH Staff Writer
It has excellent performances by the major players,
excellent scripting by the same man who scripted
Moonlighting, and an excellent plot involving The Blue
Ribbon Strangler, exotic cuisine, graft, and prime
numbers.
So why doesn't The January Man, directed by Pat
O'Connor, work?
Murder. Corruption. Comedy. The ad in the paper
promises, and yes, the movie delivers all three in
roughly equal amounts, but in such strange combinations that the drama and the humor seem to cancel each
other out.
The Blue Ribbon Strangler has been on a spree in the
city for 11 months now, and the mayor is now so
desperate for a solution that he decides to reinstate Nick
Starky (Kevin Kline) as special investigator.
Currently employed as a fireman, Nick had been fired
from the second precinct two years ago under suspicion
of unethical conduct. It develops gradually throughout
the film that it's really his brother Frank, now police
commissioner, who's on the take, along with Mayor
Flynn (Rod Steiger). This is all complicated by the fact
that Nick was once involved with Christine (Susan
Sarandon), Frank's wife, but is now sleeping with Bernadette, Mayor Flynn's daughter.
That plot, taken by itself, given the talent of the people involved, would make a decent detective movie, and
indeed those parts of The January Man work very well.
But somewhere in the process of making this movie someone decided to throw in some comedic elements -- a
parrot with a foul mouth, an eccentric artist neighbor, a
farcical fight scene that lasts down 16 flights of stairs, a
lot of espresso coffee, etc., ad nauseum. It's a mistake
that is definitely going to impair this film's popularity.
The changes from drama to farce and back are too
quick and subtle for either to be effective: the humor
lends a superficial air to scenes which should be serious,
and the suspense makes the jokes and pratfalls seem
contrived and tedious.
This film contains something for everyone, but not
many people will like it. It's too confused as to what it
is, to really be anything but confused.
January Man is rated R and plays at Movieland on
West 11 Ave.
