Racism rebuked
by Alice C. Wheeler
TORCH Editor

Visions of a culturally diverse and hate-free community were shared by
speakers at a rally in downtown Eugene at the Federal Building on Jan. 25.
Almost 300 people gathered in the late afternoon to listen to members of
area minority and human rights groups publicly address the problem of hate
crimes in our community and offer some possible solutions.
Among the speakers was a member of the LCC Multi-Cultural Center,
Teresa Blackowl. She says that Indian history was never taught in schools and
"It is our responsibility to change the educational system."
She also reminded the crowd that Oregon has a long history of racism, "In
1947 the first black family was allowed here in Oregon," she said.
Among the crowd were members of the LCC Women's Center and
Associated Students of LCC.
Kate Berry, coordinator of the Women's Center, says that there has been a
national climate that has let people express bigotry more easily than in the
past.
She says that although there is both racism and sexism on campus, ''There is
a consciousness at LCC that tries to combat both things. We (the Women's
Center) combat it by our presence.
"We are celebrating diversity in everything we do."
Andy Harris, ASLCC senator, says, "I think I've been really naive. This
issue needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. We should not ignore it, but
instead bring an end to the problem by breaking down stereotypes and
educating people.''
ASLCC Cultural Director Michael Stewart says '' Racism will not be
tolerated at LCC," and promises to continue bringing culturally diverse
groups to campus in the hopes of educating people ab0ut discrimination.

On the steps of the Federal Building, men and women gather to condemn racism and celebrate the diversity of different races and cultures.

LCC to run vending machines Student input sought
by Jessica Schabtach
TORCH Associate Editor

Vending machines all over
campus have been out of service for several weeks due to a
breached contract between
LCC and the company which
serviced and stocked the
machines, says Bob Marshall,
vice president of Student Services.
But he says the machines
will soon be working again,
this time under the management of the college.
Marshall says in the original
contract, which went into effect last summer, the college
was promised $2,000 per
month. Vending machine profits supplement the Perform-

ing Arts and Athletics Departments and TORCH budgets.
Marshall says he "wasn't
going to get out on a branch
any further'' after the contracter failed to pay three
months' worth of profit to
LCC. The college cancelled
the contract, he says, and is
now planning to run the
machines through the Food
Services Department.
Bob Tegge of Food Services
says LCC will buy machines
either from the current supplier or from another source.
Marshall says the school is required to obtain quotes from
three sources and accept the
least expensive. Until LCC
buys the machines it will rent
them for $500 per week, tak-

ing over the contract between
the vending company and the
contractor.
Tegge says LCC will employ
one full-time staff member to
stock and tend the machines.
The college will receive a
higher profit because the gobetween will be eliminated.
Tegge says he suggested a
similar program 13 years ago,
but LCC rejected it then due
to initial costs. A program
based on Tegge's proposal was
later adopted at Chemeketa
Community College, which
now clears about $90,000 a
year on vending machine profits, he says.
Tegge predicts that the vending machines will be working
again no later than Feb. 1.

LCC students will have the opportunity to offer input in the
only public forum statewide on National Welfare Reform and
Oregon's Response on Thursday, Feb. 2, from 1 to 4 p.m. in
Forum Building Room 308.
Guest speaker Sharon McFarland, manager of Oregon's New
Jobs program, will answer questions about how welfare reform
would affect students.
Kate Barry, coordinator of the Women's Program, says the
New Jobs program, which is still in the pilot stage, has recently
come under criticism. Most of the training programs are short
term and lead to only low to moderate income positions for
some clients. "It's not a satisfactory answer to women in poverty," says Barry.
She also says that LCC is an appropriate place for this type of
forum because welfare reform would impact the country at a
number of levels and she says a community college is the natural
place for people to come together.
For additional information about this forum and other programs for women offered at LCC, visit the _Women's Center,
217 Center, or phone 747-4501, ext. 2353, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

chi Id care for
diverse demands

0

by Alice C. Wheeler
TORCH Edi1or

Good, inexpensive, and conveniently located
child care is not an idea of the future. It is needed now.
LCC is a prime example. Although the LCC
Child Development Center can care for about
75-90 children a term, many LCC students must
find their childcare off campus because of
limited space, high fees, and inflexible scheduling.
To be fair, Lhe CDC was designed as a
teaching program, not as a day care center.
Over the years it has expanded to try to be both.
This fall a modular unit (manufactured
building) was added to create an Infant Toddler
Center.
Despite the changes and modifications, it still
does not satisfy LCC students' childcare needs.
We need a child care program with the main
purpose of child care, not teaching. It should be
used only by students, have only student
employees, and be partially funded by our student government.
LCC needs to offer child care to well over
150-200 children a term, not 75-90.
The current program offers only part-time or
full-time blocks with set rates. Students need a
pay-by-the-hour, reasonably priced, progressive care system for their children.
Parents often have to give up a great deal of
time with their children to be able to go to

school. Making a decision to get an education
should not be a choice between feeling good as
a parent and satisfying personal goals.
Having childcare on campus is an obvious
solution. It's convenient. Parents can spend
lunch with their child or take walks with them
during long breaks between classes. With
children, every moment counts.
Administrators and teachers often speak of
the different needs of community college
students. They say that our lives are more
diverse, we have children, we work at jobs outside of school, and we are trying to gain education that will make us more employable.
Wouldn't it just make sense, then, if the college or the ASLCC tried to make things a little
easier for us?

US tickles offensively
forum by Robert Parker
LCC s1Uden1

I tip my hat to MISTER Andy Dunn!
While so many Americans mindlessly and unquestioningly lap
up corporate media's parrot-like repetitions of State Department press releases about the recent confrontation between US
and Libyan fighters, Mr. Dunn had the courage to actually look
beneath the surface and expose US foreign policy under Reagan
for the hypocritical sham that it is. A brave act indeed! On
behalf of truth-loving Americans I thank you, Mr. Dunn!
Conspicuously missing from media accounts of this incident
(as well as other similar encounters) is any mention of the US
foreign policy device known informally as "tickling."
Here is how it works: When US military forces (usually the
Navy) are traveling near countries that our government considers "hostile," we sometimes send a token force (usually
airplanes) to approach said country in a way that appears to
threaten an attack.
This is exactly what the Navy was doing when we had our first
hostile encounter with Libya in 1981. It is also what Mr. Reagan
was probably doing when he sent National Guard troops to
Honduras to conduct maneuvers along the Nicaraguan border a
few years ago.
Tickling serves two obvious purposes. First, it allows us to test
the threshold of response of the country in question. Second, in
a case where our government wants to start a war, this is a great
way to make it appear as though the other country started it.
Given Mr. Reagan's public statements on Libya, and the
Navy's terrorist raid there in 1986 (when we made Libya take the
rap for Syrian-backed attacks in Europe), is there any doubt as
to how Libya would react to an apparent threat from US forces?
During the 1986 attack Libya withheld fire until our planes were
well within its borders. No doubt they learned from that
mistake.
This process of provocation goes a long way back in our
history.
In 1845 President Polk sent 3500 troops to the Texas/Mexican
border knowing fully that Mexico was very much afraid that the
US was about to attack. When a skirmish broke out, Polk was
able to accuse Mexico of starting the war that he so badly
wanted to happen.
In other cases, when the countries in question could not be

The TORCH

Between the lines
To the Editor:
I feel a response to your recent retraction "Bigotry
revealed" is needed. The
references in the article are not
racist. ''Harassing the Pink
Triangle" refers to placing
messages on a computerized
bulletin board in the Eugene
area called '~The Pink
Triangle," and "Blood went
down kicking'' refers to winning a game called "Captain
Blood.'' When someone ·reads
a message that is not to them
and they don't understand
what is meant, they shouldn't
try to write between the lines.

Machines empty
To the Editor:
I am really starting to get
very irked at the people who
run the soda and candy
machines. Every day the
machines are empty. There is
no point keeping them around
campus if they never are filled.
I am referring to the
machines in the Center
building.
To me, I think the students
should be keeping the
machines filled up, every morning. I would like to have a
soda before I start doing any
schoolwork. The soda in the
cafeteria is horrible, it tastes
like they diluted it with water.

by Jessica Schabtach
TORCH Associate Editor

George Bush made a
frightening precedent on his
first day in office, proclaiming
the Roe v. Wade decision,
which legalized abortion in
1973, a "mistake."
Minority leaders thought
the new president might not be
as harsh on civil rights as
Reagan was, but Bush's first
public address did little to further this hope.
The citizens who protest
abortion and flaunt fetuses'
"right to life" are indulging in
hypocrisy of the worst kind.
What is the right to life?
Anti-aborticnists say it's the
right of all children to be
born -- but those children
don't have the right to destroy
their mothers' lives, and
mothers don't have the right
to bring children into a life of
hunger,
poverty,
homelessness, desertion, and
social rejection.
Men and women don't have
the right to bomb doctors' offices in an attempt to over-·
throw a law with which they
disagree.
And the American government does not have the right to
condemn thousands of women
to death in back-alley abortion
clinics.
Illegality has never stopped
What can be done about
this? How can somebody like
me be in charge of handling
something like the operations
of the soda machines?

abortion -- it just insured the
deaths of many mothers as
well.
Nor does this country have
the right to force thousands of
women into lives of frustration and misery as single,
unemployed parents. Ironically, many of the American
citizens who are so violently
opposed to abortion are equally opposed to welfare, socialized medicine, government-subsidized child care, government
housing, and free birth control.
Arguments that adoption is
a viable alternative to women
who don't want to or are
unable to raise their children
wither quickly upon inspection
of the success of current foster
programs in the US.
To force a woman to raise a
child who was born as a result
of such a relationship is condemning her to a life of unfulfillment, and often poverty
and loneliness.
In the 1960s and '70s
Americans began realizing the
importance -- both for individuals and for society -- of
allowing women to make their
own decisions, but the reactionism of the '80s threatens to
drive us back into a dark age
of oppression and waste.

To the Editor:
I wish to respond to a letter
that was in your Jan. 6, 1989,
issue of the TORCH, entitled
Walk Don't Ride. As the
president of the Disabled Advisory Club I brought this letter up at the last meeting. The
club's consensus was that
there are no facts to support
the claim against ASLCC that
are made in this letter.
We admit that there is a problem when it comes to getting
access to the elevators and we
do appreciate this student's
concern, but we feel that this
letter was more an attack
against ASLCC than the issue
of the elevators. The issue is
not who rides the elevators.
The issue is just as the sign
says in front of the elevators:
Wheelchairs have priority.
It is as simple as that. If you
are on the elevators and a
wheelchair is waiting to go on,
then access should be given to
the person in the wheelchair
even if that means getting off,
which I might add very rarely
happens.

Campus Ministry recycling program shapes up
by Michael Omogrosso
TORCH Staff Writer

Dieringer gets help sorting
recyclables.

Letters

But Dieringer expects to in-

volve more people. "We're
asking the school to take on a
recycling posture," says Dieringer.
Segregating paper by grade
is one step in that process.
Dieringer categorizes paper by
the highest grade and highest
price per pound in the following order: computer paper,
white ledger, and colored
ledger. Newsprint brings $30
per ton, but the price is dropping.
Telephone books, glossy
paper, and waxed or gumbacked paper make no money,
says Dieringer, due to the extra labor required for their
processing. But these items
will be picked up as a service
to the campus and given to
Weyerhauser, which makes a
penny a ton profit.
Dieringer says Campus
Ministry is changing the way
recycling operates.

• Recycling containers will
be emptied once a week, instead of waiting until they are
full.
• If departments have a large
volume of recyclable materials
(perhaps during a major
move) the department need
only call Campus Ministry for
a special pick-up. One such
venture yielded pounds of
paper clips and boxes of file
folders from recycled paperwork.
• Phasing out the barrels is
another new approach. "No
matter how you design -it,"
says Dieringer, '' a barrel is a
garbage container to some
folks." He is researching a different collection container
which would help eliminate
disposable diapers and
discarded food from the process.
• Also in the works is a new
fenced-in recycling area.

there are people that are

The Campus Ministry of. ficially took over campus
paper recycling from the Student Resource Center (SRC)
last October.
According to Campus
Ministry Director Father Jim
Dieringer, any money the
recycling program earns will
be used for an emergency loan
fund which helps students
who, because of financial
dificulties, cannot continue
with school unless they receive
monetary assistance.
Paper recycling began at
LCC in the early to mid-70s,
according to Lynn Johanna
Larsen, SRC director. She
says the SRC itself was formed
to run the recycling program,
and over the years, as recycling efforts eventually leveled
off, the SRC expanded into a
center for student informa-

tion.
-''Although to the best of my
knowledge LCC is the only
college in the nation to have
recycling for the entire campus," says Larsen, "there has
been a problem over the years
finding enough people to do it
right and to maintain continuity from year to year. Continuity is part of the reason SRC
looked to the Campus
Ministry, (because) its staff
doesn't change every year or
two.''
When asked if the Campus
Ministry has sufficient people
power to perform the recycling
chores, Dieringer responded,
"No, but yes!" He says a
former student and a current
student volunteer some time,
and he takes up "the slack."
But basically, he says, the program is just taking on its
shape.

the wheelchair's point of view.
If you were in a wheelchair
and were always late for class
because you had to wait two or
three times to get from the
first floor to the fourth .floor,
how would you feel? We all
have been late for a class one
time or another. It is not the
best way to impress your instructor. You miss part of the

class and sometimes there is
something you should have
been there for. People in
wheelchairs are the same way
as you. They don't like to be
late, and let's face it -- they
pay for the class just like
everyone else does. Therefore,
they should get their money's
worth and in the same respect
get the best education that we

goaded into attacking, our
government has simply
fabricated stories of attacks.
Remember the Gulf o·f Tonkin
"incident?"
And all too often corporate
media play right along,
charges of leftist bias notwithstanding. This is hardly
surprising when one considers
who really rnntrols the media.
For example, ChaseManhattan Bank has representatives on the boards of directors of all three television networks. Even the most ardent
right-winger would be unable
to find any left-wing influence
in that institution.
It's too easy to just believe
unquestioningly what government and the media tell us. In
so doing we abdicate our
responsibility to examine all
sides of a given story.
Of course, the ''up'' side of
this behavior is that it allows
us more free time to watch
"Wheel of Fortune" and
"Alf." Thomas Jefferson
must be spinning like a top in
his grave!
Now, I would like to make a
point or two about the letter
from Richard Cook in the Jan.
13 issue of the TORCH.
What is it about right-wing
zealots that they so often feel a
need to insult and discredit
those of us who choose to exercise our Constitutional
rights to say what we think
and to have a say in what our
government does?

Mr. Cook's insults and
name-calling only serve to
diminish the credibility of
what he has to say. If freedom
of speech bothers you so
much, Mr. Cook, why don't
you apply for citizenship in
East Germany? I'm sure they
would welcome your unquestioning adherence to the
dogma of the national party
line. (Boy, it feels good to say
that to a right-winger!)
Finally, I would like to bring to light a very interesting
bit of information I came
across in preparing to write
this letter.

_

all want.
You can't do this if you
have to wait for an elevator
four or five minutes between
classes and then if it is full,
well, then it can take even
longer, and let's not forget
that there is only 10 minutes
between classes. All that we
ask is that people who use the
elevators let the wheelchairs

on and if you get off to let a
wheelchair on and nobody else
gets off, then you should say
something.

According to a faculty adviser with whom I spoke at the
TORCH, one of the many
sources Mr. Dunn went to for
information in writing his
editorials was none other than
the Pentagon itself -- hardly
what one could consider a
clearing-house for left-wing
propaganda.
I would like to ask Mr.
Cook this: Other than the corporate media and your own
preconceptions and bigotries,
where did you get the information to back up your opinion
on this issue?
I want to believe in my heart

But I still haven't given up
hope. Maybe some day
Americans will smash their TV

Democrats meet
by Jessica Schabtach
TORC H Associa 1e Edi1or

James Klonosky, a Political Science professor at the
UO, was one of the guest speakers at the first meeting of
the LCC Young Democrats' Club on Jan. 12.
Klonosky spoke on the goals of the Democratic Party on
a national level as well as on a local level, and the possibility of a democratic president in 1992.
The other guest speaker, Sam Adams, president of the
local Democratic Party chapter, gave an overview of
targets for Lane County Democrats.
Both speakers addressed issues of local and national
concern, particularly the future of the democratic party
and its immediate goals, as well as a review of last year's
presidential election.
The new club, under the leadership of KoLynn Dornan,
president, and Joe Kremers, adviser, discussed its own purpose on campus including the hope of educating LCC
students on political issues.
Dornan, who is also the ASLCC vice president, said she
felt the ASLCC is too busy to give these issues enough attention, although it did try to encourage voter registration
and held a candidates' fair last fall.
The club's members also hope to provide a forum for
discussion of nationwide issues. "I think it's good to have
macro goals," Kremers, an LCC Social Science teacher,
said. "I'm interested in where the country is going, too."
The Young Democrats will hold its next meeting to
organize club elections and establish goals for the next
year, Kremers says. The date for the meeting has not yet
been set.

The TORCH

Local travel agency opens
doors to LCC students
by Dorothy Wilmes-Corkery
TORCH Staff Writer

Even with a $1,257 class fee, the Comprehensive Travel Agency Operation course offered
through Adult Education and taught at Adventure in Travel's downtown office enrolls 15
students each term.
Jean Whiteside, secretary assistant to the
director of Adult Education, explains that the
fee is a ''pro-rated cost for the use of Adventure in Travel's Apollo computer software."
The software program is on-line with the
airlines' scheduling computers, and is an essential part of a travel agent's day-to-day operations, she says. A student spends approximately
60 of the 120 course hours at the computer.
According to Whiteside, LCC actually loses
money when costs are broken down. For the
cost of using the software system, the college
pays a $1,195 fee for each student to the travel
agency. It pays a $150 per-student instructor'!.>
fee, as well. With the course fee of $1,257, the
college experiences a deficit of $62 on each
enrollment.
However, she adds that some of these costs
are recovered because 15 students usually

register for the class each term instead of the 13
considered full enrollment, and there could be
as many as 18.
Noland Peebles teaches the comprehensive
course at Adventure in Travel's downtown office and also the introductory course at LCC's
Downtown Center, which is offered for $37
through Adult Education.
He describes the introductory class as an
overview of the travel industry with basic
geography and general information about the
role of a travel agent. The comprehensive
course ''prepa!"es students to be entry level
retail travel agents," he says.
"Upon completion of the course, it is very
difficult to find a job locally," he points out.
"However, if you are willing to relocate, there
are far more jobs outside the area than people
to fill them."
Karen Clark completed the comprehensive
course two years ago and works for All Around
Travel in Eugene. "The class was well worth
the money and I'm glad I made the career
change,'' she says.
"However, I know I'm a rarity," she says,
"because local jobs are hard to find."

Teachers impro ve skills in TIP
And, he says, the TIP program has even prompted a
"grass roots network." The
instructors gather for retreats
at the coast, luncheons, and
other meetings to share ideas
about teaching.
The process consists of a
formative evaluation and a
peer evaluation. The evaluation begins with an initial interview to explore the instructor's teaching philosophy,
background and style, and
course objectives, explains
Cobb.
Next, he says, a TIP consultant directly observes how the
teacher lectures, uses visual
aids and interacts with the
class. The instructor also
observes his or her own
behavior on a videotape.
Finally, the students

Through the Teaching Improvement Process (TIP) LCC
instructors are actively working to improve their teaching
techniques.
Instructors assess their own

weaknesses and, from an
analysis of their assessment,

the TIP program has been successful since it first began in
1981. "Over 50 instructors
have (completed the evaluation process) in the last seven
years, and (the instructors
report) the improvement is
both immediate and longrange," states Cobb.

evaluate the instructor s'
teaching performance through
a questionnaire called
Teaching Analysis by Students
(TABS). Less than half of the
50 total questions are about
the instructor's teaching skills
and behaviors, while the rest
are about the student and his
or her reasons for taking the
course.
The instructor takes a selfassessment as well and predicts
how the students will respond
to the TABS questionnaire.
For comparison, the computer
printout analysis reports the
students' answers along with
selfinstructor's
the
assessment answers and student response predictions.
John Klobas, sociology and
neuro-linguistic programming
(NLP) instructor, completed
the TIP evaluation during his
first NLP course in fall term .
"It was valuable for me to
have another colleague-another pair of eyes to watch
me, and it was important to
have the video tape available
for my own learning and critiquing,'' says Klobas.
When developing strategies
to improve teaching techniques, Cobb explains that most
of the time the best approach
is to capitalize on strengths
rather than remedy problems.
For example, if student attention was increased during a
boring lecture by using an
anecdote, then the instructor
should incorporate more anecdotes into lectures, he says.
Cobb points out that the
TIP program is not part of the
faculty evaluation process that
determines whether you're
hired or fired. "It's voluntary,
confidential, and totally
safe," Cobb asserts.

spring terms should contact

Mt. Hood clobbers vulnerable Titan men, 86-68
I

by Paul Morgan
TORCH Sports Editor

Mount Hood Community
College ripped a vulnerable
Titan men's basketball team
apart while shooting 71 percent from the field for an
86-68 NW AACC victory
Saturday, Jan. 21 at LCC.
Three members of the Titan
squad suffered a setback the
night before the game when
the car they were driving
swerved and hit a pole. LCC
players Jerry Kersten, Dusty
Auxier, and Mike Surmeier
were in the car.
'' A couple of us went to see
the Western Oregon-OI T

game and on our way home a
deer jumped out in front of
us,'' said Surmeier, who had a
scrape patched up on his side.
"We swerved to miss it and we
rolled the car. I went through
the window."
Surmeier finished the
Mount Hood game with 4
points, Auxier finished with 3, ·
and Kersten did not play
because his neck was ''sore''.
The game was marred late in
the first half when a fight
broke out. Titan guard Don
Holly was ejected from the
game as a result.
Holly, who finished with 8
points, had no comment about

the fight.
The Saints Rod Jackson, a
6'2" guard, shot 12 for 23
from the field including 5 for
10 from three point range and
6 for 6 from the line. He
scored 23 points in the first
half, and 35 for the game.
"Jackson lit it up in the first
half," said Titan Head Coach
Dale Bates. ''Their big kid inside, Cory Blecha, scored 14
points in the first half.''
The Mount Hood front line
of Blecha, Jim Bonnarens,
and Chris Halleman combined
for 32 points. Overall the
Saints were hot all night with

25 for 35 shooting (71.4 percent) from the field.
''Their front line played
very well," said Bates. "They
just outplayed us all the way
around.''
Tim Newland came off the
bench to fill the gap left by the
shaken up players, and did the
job with 11 points. Harold
Michaud chipped in 11, and
Todd Harrington, who has
been playing well in the past
few games, was high scorer for
the Titans with 16 points.
LCC will take on seventh
ranked Chemeketa CC Sat.

by Paul Morgan
TORCH Sport s Editor

Titan women's basketball
Head Coach Dave Loos rattled his team's cage and put a
new starting lineup on the
floor to take on Mount Hood
CC Saturday, Jan. 21 at LCC,
but they remained trapped in a
four-game losing streak.
The Saints held off LCC for
a 61-4 7 victory that dropped
the Titans to 1-4 in Southern
Division play and 3-11 overall.
Loos inserted Jill Benson,
Angela Englert and Nola Pritchard into the starting lineup
with Krista Gorham and Kelly
Harrington against the Saints,
and was kfi shorthanded on
the bench because of sickness
or injury. Englert is the only
sophomore in that lineup.
''We've had some kids sick
that weren't able to practice
with us," explained Loos.
''These kids have been practicing real hard.
"I thought that they did an
exceptional job for us . . . no
doubt about it.''
Pritchard, who has started
for the Titans before, helped
LCC with 8 points. Englert
shot 2 for 3 from the field and
finished with 4 points.

from Gorham and Teresa
Werener, who each chipped in
13 points. Werner came off
the bench to score all of her
points in the second half.
"Teresa was able to
penetrate the defense and get
some easy baskets,'' said
Loos. "That kept us close."
The Saints jumped out to an
18-8 lead and forced a Titan
timeout with 7:22 to go in the
first half.
Then LCC charged back
with an 8-2 run to pull within
four. The half ended with the
Titans down 24-18.
The Titans just couldn't
match up with the Mount
Hood offensive front line in
the first half. The Saints got
several offensive rebounds.
"Size was one problem,"
said Loos. "In the first half
Mount Hood scored most of
its points on second and third
efforts.
"I thought the girls did better in the second half."
At times in the second half
the Titans showed their confidence and battled back, but
couldn't seem to hold their
poise long enough to really
take control of the game.
"We started to do it and
then we would get excited and

throw the ball out of bounds,''
explained Englert.
The closest the Titans got to
Mount Hood was 28-26 early
in the second half. The Saints
opened their lead to IO points
with 10 minutes left in the
game, while LCC scrambled
for a chance to get back.
The chance never came.
"Even though we're losing I
think we took a step," said
Englert. ''More people are
working together."
The Titans will play a tough
yhemeketa Community College team at LCC Saturday,
Jan. 28, at 6 p.m.
It will be the last home game
for the Titans until Wednesday, Feb. 8., when they play

Financial Aid improves service
by Michael Omogrosso

by Dorothy Wilmes-Corkery

TORCH Staff Writer

TORCH Staff Writer

It is time to fill out financial aid forms for the next
school year.
To make the process easier and faster, the Financial Aid
Office has a new computer system and several sources of
information.
A new computer program speeds up financial aid processing for LCC students, says Linda Waddell, director of
Financial Aid.
"We are a high volume operation," says Waddell,
"processing over $6 million worth of financial aid. More
than 60 percent of the students at LCC are half-time or
more and receive some kind of financial aid through this
department.
"With the new program what takes an hour to process
by hand can be done in seconds."
According to Waddell, her office has set a goal to have
the first financial aid award letters in the mail by the middle of March. This would apply to students who will have
submitted their applications in the first part of January,
and by the middle of February will have completed their
files, satisfied all questions and made all corrections.
Financial Aid Office employees work to minimize the
barriers students face when applying for money, says Waddell, by providing information though on-campus
workshops, at the Financial Aid windows in the Center
Building lobby, and through self-help booklets.
The Student Guide covers topics from eligibility to
students' rights and responsibilities to debt management.
It specifically addresses financial aid programs of the
federal government and is published by the Department of
Education.
Another booklet, Guide to Financial Resources, is
published by LCC. Although it duplicates some of the
federal booklet's information, it is tailored to LCC
students' concerns -- like LCC student budgets, state
monies, and transfer policies.
''There are no changes in the 1989-90 Financial Aid
Form (FAF)," says Waddell, "because lhere were so many
changes last year. Generally we wait to see the effects the
changes have made.''

Access to the campus means more
than elevators, electric door openers,
and wheelchair ramps.
People with low vision or loss of
hand dexterity will soon gain access to
LCC computers.
Beginning spring term, with the aid
of a new software program, the
Downtown Center's Adult Education
Department will offer "Keyboarding
for the Physically Handicapped," a
typing class taught for the first time at
a computer terminal.
Swdents will use the software program in conjunction with guide books
designed for typists unable to use all
fingers or both hands.
The keyboarding class gives disabled
students the opportunity to become
familiar with computers and to improve their typing skills at the same
time, says Administrative Assistant
Sharon Mastin.
The Business Department also has
large-print typing books available for
visually impaired students. Mastin says
that while "many students are not
legally blind, their eyesight is impaired
enough to make it impossible to see
either the text or the computer screen."
A lighted magnifier that can be positioned over a textbook, a keyboard, or
over a computer monitor is another
alternative for these students, she says.
Any student who is registered for a
computer class at LCC has access to
the OTC computer lab.

According to Waddell, though, th~re potential
changes on the horizon for the 1990-91 school year. National legislation addressing default (non-payment of student loans) may be instituted, affecting a school's ability to
get loan funds based on the percentage of defaults at the
particular school. This may also affect grant availability.
Waddell says that proposed legislation would also bar
fonding for students without high school diplomas or
GEDs (General Education Diplomas).
She says LCC admits all students who can demonstrate
academic ability to succeed at the school even if they are
not high school graduates or GED holders. LCC also provides skill building classes for students unprepared to enter
the regular college.
Currently, if a potential student cannot demonstrate the
necessary skills he/she may be funded for up to a year to
attend skillbuilding classes. This funding would be
eliminated under the new legislation.
Waddell encourages students to apply for financial aid
as early as possible.

Part-time LCC instructor Dorothy Velasco is
one busy lady.
Her award-winning play Open House finished its run in Eugene last month and her recently
revised Miracle at Graceland will be previewed
in a public reading by members of the Oregon
Repertory Theatre on Feb. 4.
"It's busy. Most artists find that that's the
way they have to operate -- juggling different
projects and commitments," says Velasco.
Although Velasco is not teaching at LCC this
term due to a low enrollment in her Theatre
Directing class, she is continuing her involvement in area projects.
She is currently involved in trying to secure a
permanent home for the Terra Nova Theatre,
which she co-founded in 1986.
Outside of Eugene, Velasco teaches
playwriting at Portland State University one
night a week and has worked on the annual outdoor pageant Oregon Fever in Oregon City.
She also writes, prolifically.
Velasco is the author of more than 25 plays
which have been put into full production--not

. only in Eugene, but across the country and in
Mexico as well. She is currently writing grant
proposals for two video and film documentaries.
So far, she has successfully juggled her varying responsibilities, winning recognition for her
recent works Open House -- Best of Festival at
the Storefront Theatre's New Play
Competition -- and the one act version of
Miracle at Graceland -- first prize winner of the
Theatre Southwest Playwriting Competition.
Previous accomplishments include her award
of the 1983 Oregon Artist Fellowship.
The Graceland play, to be previewed in
February, is a totally re-written, full-length version of the one-act production of the same
name. The shorter version played to local
Eugene - Springfield audiences in 1986.
As the title suggests, the play is about a
miracle at the Elvis Presley estate in Memphis
and involves a graveside prayer that is
answered.
Miracle at Graceland will be read as part of
the Made in Oregon Play Festival at the Smith
Family Bookstore at 8 p.m. on Feb. 4. Tickets
will be $4 at the door.

"Fall term, we had 114
literary submissions," says
Denali editor Michael
Omogrosso, "and nearly 50
submissions of art and
photography.

•"Having such a • good
response has its positive and
negative sides. It's great to
have so much material to
choose from, but then some
fine pieces get rejected. Artists
and writers need to be able to
accept rejection and spring
back with more work. That's
how the game works in the real
world."
Submission forms are
available at the Denali office
in room 479D of the Center
Building and at the Student
Resource Center in the second
floor lobby of the Center
Building.
For more information, call
