T e Lane Community College Eugene, Oregon April 21, 1989 \bl. 24 No. 23 Peace Week activities begin May 1 by Alice C. Wheeler TORCH Editor World peace: "Where do we stand now?" This is the question Michael Stewart, ASLCC cultural director, and the cultural committee plan to explore with this year's Peace on Earth Week, May 1-5. LCC' s Peace Week started in the mid to late 1970s and has grown to encompass both Peace Week and Earth Week in one event. The purpose of Peace on Earth Week, says Stewart, is to help educate people about the possibilities for peace; to offer alternative viewpoints on current world situations, and present students with some of the situations humankind is faced with from historical and current perspectives. Stewart says he learned last year, when he also worked on Peace Week, the hazards of planning too many events. "We've tried to keep it down to one or two speakers or presentations a day." Stewart was concerned that if he offered too many events he wouldn't be able to attract enough attention to each one. This year craft and food booths will line the lawn and walkways outside the cafeteria. Stewart says he is excited about having a Saturday Market atmosphere. Music is planned for every day and the bands will perform outside the cafeteria. Affinity, Caliente, Rubberhead, David Helfland, and Coco Van are all lined up to perform during the week. Human rights, foreign relations, and the environment are some of the topics that will be discussed by a number of speakers including William Boyer, from the Northwest Peace Coalition; Wenda! Wood, from the Oregon National Resource Council; and ASLCC Senator and Political Events Coordinator Andy Harris. A ceremony to dedicate the Peace Garden will be held on Monday, May 1 at noon. The peace pole, which has the words "Peace on Earth" in a different language on each side, will be set in the ground. The dedication ceremony is an extension of last year's event with the Soviet athletes. Stewart hopes that members of all local peace organizations will attend the event. ''This garden should say to the students 'We need to keep trying to work for peace ... it is an attainable goal.' " Students work as a team by Michael Omogrosso TORCH Staff Writer "I'm a people person," says Jim Ratzlaff, ·a Student Service Associate (SSA), "and here I can be myself, helping students help themselves." The associates are a team of LCC students trained to assist the counseling staff, said LCC Counselor and SSA Coordinator Julia Poole in a 1986 essay. ''Especially in the fall,'' says Ratzlaff, "a lot of students are scared -- some of them actually look terrified." SSAs learn communication skills, teamwork, conflict resolution, and trust-building. Christine Lee asks Maggie Collingwood, a Student Services Associate, for information about a certificate program. For those considering a career in Human Services, being an SSA serves as a testing ground. Ratzlaff says he was looking at LCC to try and find a career change. A friend who was an SSA approached him and said he would fit in well with the program. The careers he was most interested in, public relations and counseling, seemed to coincide with the SSA program. Another SSA, Ruth Jarvie, heard of the program from an associate who was in her yoga class. SSAs help ease the load for counselors. They staff specific areas such as the Career Information Center, central intake desk (main counseling information desk), and the MultiCultural Center. They also assist with disabled students, registration, orientation and special groups (such as foreign students). Although Jarvie spends a good deal of time staffing the see Students page 12 Student government: The year in review by Andy Dunn TORCH Entertainment Editor They meet every week and decide policies, programs, and activities. They have generated praise for LCC in the community, and some recent controversy within the editorial pages of the TORCH. They run a variety of student services and have a budget of over $100,000. And they are all students at LCC. They are student government representatives -- the Associated Students of Lane Community College, or simply the ASLCC -- funded by the $5 mandatory student fee paid by LCC students at the beginning of each term. As this year's student government comes to a close and elections for next year's representatives draw near, it is a good time to review the accomplishments as well as the failed initiatives of the 1988-89 ASLCC. Last spring John Millet and Ko Lynn Dornan were elected president and vice-president of the ASLCC, while 11 others were elected to various cabinet and senate positions. Two others were then ratified to the appointed positions of communications director and student resource director. Due to resignations during the year, eight new members have been ratified to the organization. This group of 15 - 16 student representatives has met on Mondays throughout the school year at 4 p.m. in the open-to-thepublic ASLCC Senate meetings. • Among its accomplishments, the ASLCC is proud to point to the Fall Term Welcome Activities in September, Disabled Awareness Month and activities in November, the charity Christmas food drive in December, the Martin Luther King Jr see Review, page 12 EDITO RIA LS & LETT ERS ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::~ LCC budget committee makes a lousy recommendation 1 COACH> 1 D BE HAPP\/ IF M~ ~...-.-, -- B\CEP5 INCREASE THE SAMF PERCENTAGE A5 rr, ~ ,.

Linda Wade, "selfpolitical appointed analyst," accuses ASLCC Pres. John Millet of "elitist hiring'' regarding open senate positions. Any real political analyst knows that senate members are elected in the spring, or appointed during the next school year by a 2/3 majority vote of the entire student government. But never "hired." Wade also claims that there is but "one possible explanation" for the recent senate appointments. Political decisions never have just "one explanation." It's strange that Wade has never talked to Millet (I asked him) nor attended any student senate meetings this school year. I checked the meetings' guest lists: her name does not appear. Where does a "political analyst" obtain information about student government if not from easily accessible, direct sources? Michelle Reister accuses Sen. Andy Harris of a "$700 vacation" to the Middle East. She wonders what he will do with this information. Why doesn't she ask him? According to Harris, she has never approached him. Furthermore. like Wade, she has never attended a senate meeting. (Her name does not appear on the guest lists.)

Page 2 April 21, 1989 The TORCH taken her so long to complain about it? And, how did she know the trip cost $700? That information was not in the TORCH. Since she didn't ask Harris, Millet, or ASLCC Treasurer Lisa Maniatis how much was allocated, nor ever attended a senate meeting, where is she getting her information? Could it be that Wade and Reister are being used as unsuspecting pawns and spoonfed misinformation by unhapP Y student government members who can't get their way through the legal, democratic process? The only thing worse than apathetic students are ones that allow themselves to be manipulated by malcontents. If Wade and Reister are being controlled by misguided student government members, I sure hope that the manipulators don't plan on running for stude.nt government positions next year. . How does ASLCC Vice President KoLynn Dornan, Millet's running mate last spring, feel about Wade and Reister's charges? She's been strangely quiet through all this. On second thought, maybe she hasn't. Robert Ward LCC student Former ASLCC President 1 A proposed tuition increase would raise full-time tuition to $288 a term. The college administration devised the proposal with little or no student input. It targets only full-time students, increases financial aid students' contribution by $72 a year, and will generate over $317,000 in revenue -- a number quite similar to the amount of money the Administration has recently decided to add back to next year's budget. The six-member committee making the recommendation has met for four months investigating different "models" for tuition increases. But in four months' time, no students participated in the committee effort. When Bob Marshall, vice president of Student Services, made the tuition increase proposal to the LCC Board of Education at its April 12 meeting, members of the board asked the committee to seek out student input. At least the Board of Education, which makes the final decision on any tuition increase proposal, doesn't want students to feel that they don't have a voice. Some members of the administration claim that it is hard to find students who are willing to be involved in committees. Rather, it could be that ASLCC representatives have routinely served on college committees in the past and some members of the administration haven't wanted to listen to what the ASLCC has to say about students' needs. Or perhaps the administration didn't ask students to be involved in this committee because it doesn't want to hear what students have to say. Let's examine the tuition hike proposal from a student's point of view. This term, there are 2,065 full-time students and 8,457 part-time students enrolled at this college. In effect, the proposed tuition increase would raise tuition for full-time students only -- by charging for the twelfth credit. Why not raise the cost for each credit hour by $1, and keep charging for only 11 credits? This kind of hike would give the full-time student a bit of a break and would generate revenue from all students. It would increase full-time tuition to $275 a term with the cost per credit at $25. Other community colleges like Mt. Hood, Portland, and Clackamas are raising tuition to charge $25 a credit hour. And, it would save LCC from having the highest full-time tuition in the state. It is also important that any increase in tuition be designed to have the smallest impact possible on financial aid students. With an across-the-board $1 increase per credit hour, financial aid students who attend LCC full time would only have to pay $39 a year more, compared to the $72 extra per year they would pay under the current proposal. Pell Grants would not increase for students unless the tuition were increased to almost $27 a credit hour. What is most interesting is that Interim Pres. Jack Carter originally suggested a total of $1 million in budget cuts for 1989-90. But in the last month or so the college has adjusted that figure by about $350,000, and now plans to cut only $650,000. At the same time, the tuition committee is proposing tuition increases that will generate approximately $317,000 in general fund revenue. It seems obvious that the administration plans to get its extra $300,000 from an increase in tuition, or shall we say, from the pockets of the students. Are the members of the administration not willing to take the heat and make the budget cuts needed so this college can get its feet on the ground and work with what it has? As it stands right now the college may have to make budget cuts again in the 1990-91 college year. This kind of budget cutting will only make the college worse off as programs will have to be cut year after year. This will slowly deteriorate the morale of the students and LCC employees. There are too many signs that the college administration is paying lip service to "student needs." Wasn't that the problem with the last administration under Richard Turner? Harris r e p l i e s - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To the Editor: Last week we heard from "self-appointed political analyst" Lynda Wade and the concerned, but misinformed, Michelle Reister. While students should always be concerned about how ASLCC spends their money, and the questioning of my trip is understandable and respected, it is obvious that the motives of Wade and Reister are not to ensure that ASLCC be responsible to the students, but to embarrass John Millet just prior to the elections. Wade's letter charges that the newest ASLCC senator, or any of the others, are handpicked by John Millet are totally false. Wade clearly shows her ignorance by automatically assuming that any student who joins the senate is a "personal selection" of the president, without making any effort to learn the facts. Reister questions the integri- ty of ASLCC' s co-sponsoring my trip to Israel. When I informed student government I'd been chosen as a delegate to travel to Israel for ten days, to meet with Israeli government officials and Palestinian leaders, they offered to help sponsor me. When the vote came before the student senate, it passed unanimously. I abstained from voting because of a conflict of interest. (Millet did not vote on see Letters, page 3 Letters from page 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - the motion, either.) While in Israel and the occupied territories, I obtained a great deal of valuable information, which I have been passing on to students at LCC. I am preparing a presentation for ASLCC's Peace Week, May 1-5. It will consist of a slide show, a lecture, and a question and answer session. The exact time and date will be advertised in the TORCH and around campus. I encourage all students to attend. Not only are ASLCC funds being used to educate the students of LCC, but to bring positive attention to the college from Eugene and the state of Oregon. At a time when it is vital for the college to pass a tax base levy, it is important to maintain a positive image in the community. I encourage students to attend ASLCC senate meetings (Mondays at 4 p.m. in the Board Room) and find out the facts before appointing themselves political analysts. The recent letters to the TORCH, with the sole purpose of embarrassing John Millet, are deceiving and a great disservice to the students of LCC. Andy Harris ASLCC Senator Run for office To the Editor: Election time is near and students have a chance to take a role in the governing of their college. Over the last two terms we have seen fairly low student involvement in student government affairs and this term we have seen a number of letters to the editor that suggest there is an interest and obviously some concern over the current state of affairs. Hopefully this interest will mean that we will have an exciting election and an increase in student involvement. Our current president is moving on to greener pastures and no doubt some people will have a candle in the window and others will have a parade. What is important is that next year's student government is stronger and more cohesive than the last. Now that John Millet, who seems to be the figure of controversy is leaving, let's see if we can get on with dealing with issues as a body of students with some common goals. Good luck and productive campaigning to all those who run. Ivan Frishberg LCC student LTD apologizes Edi/or's nole: This is L TD's response 10 a letter (TORCH, March 3) from Chuck Doerr concerning an incident with an LTD bus driver on Feb. 22, 1989. Doerr missed a bus after the . driver refused 10 wait while Doerr used the wheelchair lift. Dear Chuck: On behalf of the Lane Tran·si t District, I'd like to apologize for your recent experience with the bus operator of No. 22 LCC/Pearl. I sincerely hope that you will continue riding the bus in the future, and have enclosed a monthly pass for you at no charge. I know that an apology and a free pass will not erase the memory of the humiliating experience you endured at the Eugene Transit Station. However, I assure you that corrective measures will be taken with the operator involved in the incident. If ever an experience like this occurs again in the future, I encourage you to call me personally at 687-5581, or the Customer Service Center at 687-5555. The District probably seems like a large bureacracy; I think it's an organization that listens to its customers and follows up on all customer complaints. Sincerely, Micki Kaplan Transit Planner Believe in magic To the Editor: In one of my classes during spring term, 1988, I listened to Julia Poole, a lady who believes in magic, talk about Student Service Associates (SSA). By the time she finished, I wanted to apply. I did, and being a SSA has been a rewarding experience. The Counseling Dept. employs SSAs to help during registration, assist at the counseling desk, and to staff the LCC Career Center. Other offices around campus often call for SSA help, such as tutoring in the Learning Center or supplying aid to the handicapped. It's that time of year again and Julia is looking for new SSAs for the 1989-90 school year. Being an SSA requires ~ full year's commitment from people who genuinely like helping others. In return, students receive valuable peer support, become involved with life around campus, receive valuable training, earn a salary by performing essential, interesting work, and may earn CWE credit. I urge students to apply soon; the deadline is May 1. Contact Julia at ext. 2625, or pick up an application in the Counseling Dept. or Career Center. You will be glad you did. two support groups at Sacred Heart Hospital; one for persons with disabilities, the other for their immediate families. Since we are a volunteer organization, we are looking for available bodies, disabled or not, who are willing to donate time and effort to the furthering of the goals of the DAC. Services needed range from bookkeeping to newsletter folding. I can be contacted on campus at the DAC office at 343-7055, or at my home, 689-8675. We look forward to working together with · the LCC community, and improving the lives of those affected by disabilities. Rob Kowalewski Vice-president, DAC Learn by helping To the Editor: Through my experience at the Student Resource Center (SRC) as a volunteer I have learned to work with others in a cooperative manner and learned how to help students with any question they may have. I am writing in response to the letter in the TORCH (4-14). My job this year as Data Assistant to the director is strictly volunteer. My job entails getting information, basic office duties, and seeing that projects are followed through. Volunteers are a very important part of the SRC. It would be more helpful if you wanted information to ask us and not go about getting the SRC handbook in a roundabout way. You did state half-truths. I think you would learn much more if you spent some time working behind our desk for a day to really learn what we do. I invite you to check us out by working with us. We supply free coffee and tea to students on Wednesdays. We have far too many services to state them in a short letter. It does take time to gather information and get it out properly. see Letters, page 4 Donna Gavin Student Service Associate Coalition at LCC To the Editor: The Disabilities Advisory Coalition (DAC) would like to introduce itself to the students and staff of LCC.

That's awfully big of him. With all the suffering and hardships endured by the super-rich it's a miracle that they find the strength to go on living. But then there's very little for the people who run Exxon to be upset about. So what if the lives of Alaskan fishing industry workers are ruined? So what if two national parks were damaged? So what if thousands of marine animals died slow, painful deaths? Exxon gets to write the cleanup cost off on their taxes, and in a corporate economy life takes a back seat to profits. It is difficult to find any moral justification for Exxon actually benefitting from such an atrocity. Why do the American people allow Exxon to get away with this? The answer is simple: Our society has a petroleum monkey on its back. That tanker was bringing us another fix. As long as America is saying "no" to various substances of abuse perhaps petroleum should be added to the list. It won't be easy -- that monkey has a tight grip on us. And we may never break entirely free of the oil pushers. But perhaps we do need to find ways to cut our consumption of this poison that is slowly killing our planet. Not only can it be done, it is already being done. One city in Denmark has successfully switched over to the use of electric cars. A number of people are cruising the streets and highways of Brazil in solarpowered cars. And the Japanese have built a prototype of a car that gets 90 miles per gallon (MPG). (If the average American car got 44 MPG it would entirely eliminate this country's need for oil imports.) But petroleum isn't just gasoline. Petro-chemicals are a main ingredient in many pesticides. It is this form of petroleum that Indonesia has said "no" to. In one of the most successful agricultural experiments in history, that Asian country has completely eliminated the use of chemical pesticides from its rice farming. The use of natural pest control has brought rice-eating insects under control (something chemical pest control had failed to do) and significantly increased the rice yield. These are examples of how whole nations are eliminating petroleum addiction. It can also be done on a more individual level. Just because you have a car doesn't mean you have to drive everywhere you go. You could take the bus to school or work. Or even better, ride a bike and get some exercise. You can read the labels of products you buy and avoid petro-chemicals wherever possible. (Caveat emptor -- there are even petrochemicals in a number of corporate "food" products.) You can avoid plastics and Styrofoam as much as possible. You can use natural pest control methods in your garden. In short, there is a lot one person can do to loosen the oil monkey's grip on our society. Of course the oil pushers won't be too happy about it. But considering that the payoff will be an improvement in the quality of life, human and otherwise, the whining of a few over-privileged parasites won't be anything we need to concern ourselves with. Of course we don't have to cut back on our petroleum consumption. After all, this is America and we can squander as much of the world's resources as we please. Anyone who tries to tell us differently can expect a visit from the U.S. Marines. But before we get too arrogant think about this -- a little bit of that oil on the beaches of Alaska is yours. Every time you use a Styrofoam cup, or make an unnecessary trip in your car, or spray chemical weed-killer on your lawn, you are making your small contribution to the next big oil spill. And there will be another. Letters, from pag, 3 I am not saying we are perfect. We have many new students here and it is an excellent learning experience. The staff at the SRC would be very happy to talk with you and clear up any misconceptions. Kathy Beach A FREE PHONE CALL COULD HELP PUT YOU IN A NEW GM CAR OR LIGHT-DUTY TRUCK THE EASY WAY.

Onental music plays softly, and each table or booth is surrounded on three sides by lath walls which offers diners some privacy. The food at Kurayas is very good, and better yet the portions are large. Main courses often arrive at your table flaming. Some dishes are spicy but you can always ask your waitperson to order your food mild; the cooks are willing to please. Kurayas offers many appetizers and a delicious variety of soups which are aimed to please just about anyone's tastes. Several soups are made with fresh ginger, which adds a unique, spicy flavor. The prices are also a surprise; very cheap. Dinners range from $4-$11. The vegetarian meals are usually the best priced, from about $4; meat en trees start around $5, and seafood around $6. Kurayas serves beer, both American and Thai, and wine. Children are welcome and they have high chairs and booster chairs. It is open seven days a week; hours are SunThurs. 11 a.m.-9 p.m., Fri.-Sat. 11 a.m.-10 p.m. and is located at 1410 Mohawk Blvd. in Springfield. The Factory The Factory is a rare find for Springfield. This full bar and restaurant is located in a converted warehouse. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is a nice surprise -- big beams, antique hutches and stained glass, with solid wood tables and chairs and soft candlelight. The menu is broad, with some terrific appetizers, including deep fried mozzarella sticks, potato skins, and onion rings. My personal favorite, though, is the deep fried mushrooms. The Factory has the best in town, and I have tried them at almost every place that serves them. The dinner menu offers a variety of large salads, all-youcan-eat ribs, fish and chips, shrimp, chicken, and many Italian specialties. The manicotti, vegetable calzone, or the fetuccini are my favorites. The Italian dinners give you the most for your money. They are all offered a la carte or as a full dinner served with a salad. Prices on the Italian dinners range from $5-7. Other menu items like the fish and chips cost around $5 and the shrimp dinner costs around $11 (I don't recommend this entree, though; not enough shrimp for the money). So if you're looking for a surprise in Springfield, try the Factory; it's well worth the trip. It's open for lunch Mon~ day through Friday 11-3; dinner Mon.-Thurs. 5-9:30; Fn and Sat. 5-10; closed on Sunday. The Factory is located at 5740 Main St. Springfield. by Jodie Palmer TORCH Staff Writer and Jessica Schabtach TORCH News Editor We live in a throwaway society, wildly buying new things before we've used up the old.

Coaches cultivate teams by tilling up athletes from around the region, plant the LCC athletic seed in their brains, and hope that next year brings a bumper crop. But in the case of LCC's garden -- and junior colleges in general -- there is no person paid to rototill, rake, irrigate, and there is very little land to work with. In March, Harland Yriarte, marketing representative of the Health and Athletics Department, used himself as a rototiller, raked a bit, and planted some seeds. He paid a visit to Central Linn High School, in the Portland area, to speak to some young student athletes about goals. Recently Yriarte found out that the Central Linn athletes did very well at a track meet, and is preparing a follow-up letter to congratulate and encourage more effort. The irrigation. Yriarte, also a physical education instructor, makes the trips to help athletes set goals for performance in their sports, and in their lives. Each one of these visits to high schools -- he may make two or three a year on his own time -- promotes LCC as a college that cares about people, and keeps LCC in the minds of prospective full-time students. "It doesn't hurt the school any to get the exposure," said Yriarte. "I am a representative for the school. If a (prospective student) knows somebody from the school, they might make LCC an option they never had before.'' Although a garden is a slow, patient process, the LCC Athletic Department is good at getting success from its hard work. The coaches and staff of the LCC Athletic Department won a "Go for Success" Marketing Award last fall for outstanding efforts at bringing in students to the college. The "Original Marketers" of LCC, the Athletic Department has been recruiting student athletes since the opening of the college in the 1960s. The Athletic Department lives off of the students that do decide to make LCC their athletic -- and academic -- home, but the effort to bring in these athletes is rarely noticed by the community. When the coaches bring an athlete in to compete on an LCC squad, the athlete must carry a full load of classes, which reflects well on the college's Full-Time Equivalency (FTE) numbers and brings in more money from the state government. As of April, 1987, the Athletic Department was "producing" 126 FTE, more than nine other departments. The coaches have been doing recruiting and promoting on their own time, and with the budget cuts the department may be pushed to the limit. Most coachinstructors, and Yriarte, will find themselves teaching a full load -- seven classes -- recruiting, marketing, making sure the students are meeting the GP A requirements, and raising money to help athletes with tuition and equipment. It's no wonder the coaches are always on the move; they must be energetic or LCC athletics will never be able to carry on successfully. What makes the job even harder is that other colleges in the state receive funding for scholarships, but LCC athletics has to raise its own funds. "If someone (from another college) says, 'I'll give you $200 toward tuition,' where are you going to go?" asked Yriarte. He explained that LCC just can't compete with a comparable program in the state that offers potential athletes financial help. So the Athletic Department brings in events from around the state, usually high school tournaments, which showcase the LCC campus to parents and students. The Oregon State Athletic Association (high school) volleyball and cross country championships brought 9,000 spectators and 1,200 athletes to the area. On top of serving as a kind of "grand opening" appeal for the campus, these events create business for the local economy. Economic impact estimates done by the Athletic Department show that about $200,000 was brought to the local economy through the events in 1987. Although this proves the LCC Athletic Department to be a vital contributor to the community, it is still in the shadow of the U of 0, which is always in the public eye. Now LCC Athletics is having a tough time raising enough money to pay for the rising costs of equipment for athletes who just can't buy it themselves. Even without the adequate sunshine needed to grow into a garden of Eden, the LCC Athletic Department helps recruit and retain students in a way that is positive and vital to the college and the community. Exercise station being built Construction began last week on an exca~ise circut just north of the P .E. Department. It is expected to be dedicated in May. Page 6 April 21, 1989 The TORCH pr,ng r C a Both LCC track teams finished in second place at the Mt. Hood Relays and captured the combined team trophy with 162 points Saturday, April 15 in Gresham. "I feel pretty good about (getting the overall trophy)," said Women's Head Coach Lyndell Wilken. "That says something about our programs.'' Men's Head Coach Kevin Meyers agreed. "We're real pleased. With our budget compared to theirs I think we're doing real good." Verona Richards was the only first place finish for the women in the high jump by leaping 5'4" to beat Lisa Waltenburg of Bellevue, Wash. Community College by two inches. The Titans went on to finish second to Bellevue in the team tally, 92-82. Amy Bruhn and Alicia Holte finished third and fourth in the triple jump; each broke the school record in the event. Bruhn set the new mark of 34'4.25". "We did well as a team this weekend," explained Wilken. Dave Christopher finished first in the javelin with a throw of 201 '2", and Chris Bahr was close behind in second with a throw of 191'3". Paul Green cruised to victory in the 110 high hurdles with a time of 15.21 seconds. Steve Oxenford achieved personal records in the hammer throw, shot put, and discus. • WOMEN TRIPLE JUMP - 1.

Photo by Bryan Wesel Undefeated Smith halts Clark, 9-6 by Paul Morgan TORCH Sports Editor Titan pitcher Todd Smith struck out five and gave up only three earned runs to help the baseball team to a 9-6 victory in the second game of a doubleheader and gain a split against Clark Community College Tuesday, April 18 in Vancouver, Wash. The games raised LCC' s record to 2-5 in league and 6-9 overall. The victory in the second game broke a five game Titan losing streak. "We did pretty well," said Smith, who is now 3-0. ''They're the best hitting team in the league ... They have very disciplined hitters." The Titans got things going with their own bats in the first inning with three runs off three hits and two Clark errors. They kept it rolling in thesecond inning by adding three more runs off three hits and three errors, putting the Titans ahead 6-0. Smith held Clark scoreless until the third inning, but gave up a solo homerun off a ' '' curve that was down and in." The Titan defense committed three errors in that inning, which cost LCC two runs, but they escaped the inning with a 6-3 lead. Clark scored another unearned run in the fourth to pull within two, 6-4. The Titans put the game away in the fifth with three more runs on three hits and an error to make the score 9-4. Clark got one run in the sixth and seventh innings but it was not enough to overcome the Titans. Todd Womdahl collected three hits in as many trips to the plate, had two RBI and two runs. In the first game Clark sent all nine players to the plate in the third and fourth innings and scored 10 runs in the process to crush LCC 13-3. The TORCH April 21, 1989 Page 7 =::::::::::=::::::::::-====Fast Lane Burning issues Column by John F. Piper TO RC H Staff Writer It isn' t that difficult to tell the difference. They're not anywhere near as big, they don't have plastic liners, and they're fi lled with sand nearly all the way up to the top. If you don't understand what "they" are, then perhaps you're one of the ones responsible for the problem. ''They'' are the cylindrical ashtrays distributed around the campus. The problem is that people don't seem to be able to tell them apart from the garbage cans distributed around the campus. And, as I've already pointed out, they're not that difficult to distinguish from one another. Throwing a properly-extinguished cigarette butt into the trash when you can't find an ashtray seems perfectly acceptable -- done it myself, time and again. But flammable trash in a receptacle intended to receive burning cigarettes on a regular basis? Let's talk violation of fire code. Let's talk fire hazard. Let's talk how much effort would it actually be to put our litter in its proper place? Even if the trash cans were full to overflowing most of the time, which I haven't particularly noticed that they are, we still wouldn't be justified in stuffing the campus ashtrays with garbage. Is it some kind of warped retribution we're exacting against the sloppy smoker who tosses cigarette butts hither and yon without the slightest regard for the impact on the surrounding scenery? If so, it makes less sense than American foreign policy. Why should we contribute to the visual clutter (and worry the fire marshall) in response to the insensitivity of a cretin who'd probably throw lit cigarettes into inappropriatelyfilled ashtrays even if their contents were blasting powder and nitroglycerin? But really, I don't suppose it's any good trying to call attention to this particular problem. I mean, how many times have you seen unsorted trash dumped into Eugene's recycling bins? Not to mention the fact that the LCC cafeteria still uses Styrofoam. We can solve the ashtray problem by refraining from contributing to it and by confronting people who're causing it. But in order to do that, we have to believe that individual effort, however small, on whatever level, makes a difference. From the look of things, that's something that very few LCC students believe.

Along that road there is a nice stretch of grass which is usually well kept, like the rest of the school. Right now, though, it doesn't look as nice as usual because the ground has been torn up by vehicles driving on it. There are two long burn-off marks in the mud where the grass used to be. Dave Wienecke, assistant director of Campus Services said, "It is not only an eyesore but is also very destructive. It contributes to soil erosion and the breakdown of the soil structure." He went on to say that "students should be aware that this is college property and talk to people to discourage them.'' He also said "ultimately it only hurts photo by Michael Saker Four-wheeling on campus destroys the landscaping, breaks down the soil, and ultimately only hurts the students. the students." So far this year two people have been caught churning up the soil and campus security is on the look-out for more. For those eager to tear up the turf, the going rate is 90 cents a square foot, according to Wienecke. This was the fine imposed on the last two students who were caught. Last year two non-students were caught and paid a similar fine. The money from the fines goes into fixing the damages, covering labor and soil costs. Auto repairs cheaper when students do 'all the work' by Brian Smith TOR C H Staff Writer "We did overhaul the carburator; that was the problem. These are the parts we used right here: an EGR valve, a carb float, and carb kit. Total bill: $67 .08." Bob Githens, auto service technician of LCC's Auto Technology Department (ATD), explained to Dianna Nicholas what was done to her car. Nicholas, an 'LCC student, saved money by having her 1985 Ford Escort tuned up at the college's ATD on the main campus. Based on a phone estimate from Kendall Ford Service Center in Eugene, the same repairs made off-campus at an authorized Ford service center would have cost about $250 for the labor charge, and another $115 for parts. The ATD is currently seeking 1985 or newer cars that need tune-ups to be used for class projects. Repair services are available fall through spring terms to anyone in the community. Since students perform the repairs as part of their class training, no labor costs are involved. According to Githens, customers pay only for parts, plus a $5 department fee and a $10-12 service charge, depending on the Pheasant Park Apartments Formerly Ashlane Apartments 1 Bedroom $275.00 2 Bedroom $320.00 3 Bedroom $360.00 term (3 month membership - full access) 475 Lindale N Springfield NO INITIATION FEE/NO CONTRACT 747- 5411 repairs made. "It gives the students actual live work, the same type of jobs they'd be working on when they get out of here and go to work in shops," says Givens. Students work on chassis, automatic transmissions, and electrical systems. They also perform tune-ups and fuel system repairs. Because the automotive courses cover different areas at different times, the repair process can be slow. There is no first-come, first-serve order for repairing vehicles, explains Githens. Instead, instructors contact automobile owners and set up the time and day to bring their vehicle in for repairs. Githens says "all the work is done under closer supervision than some of the downtown shops ." Furthermore, he explains, even though LCC's Auto Technology Department cannot guarantee the labor involved in any repair, they will fix any defective parts or installation problems.

Not only is each animator's technique different from the others', but each of the 18 entries contains a message quite different from that of any other. of course the loathesome and murderous title character. The conclusion is not what you might expect. Sysifus (the Hungarian spelling of Sysiphus), the first of the Festival's offerings, reinterprets, in a minimalist pen-and-ink style, the ancient Greek myth of the same name. Unlike its Hellenic forerunner, this version has a happy ending. Thing is followed by the longest and most political piece of the collection, a Soviet work entitled The Door. The entrance in question is stuck shut, and the aged occupants of the building have lived with that for so long that it no longer inconveniences them. They climb drainpipes, go in and out through windows, etc. The conflict comes when a young bridegroom arrives to carry off his betrothed to their nuptials, and the film gets more and more surreal from there. Next, The Thing That Lurked In The Tub tells the story of a Mr. Lugmeyer, his dog, and After that, Les Assassins invites us to share a moment of intimacy with a French couple Other highlights of the How to Kiss, the Festival: beautifully deranged visual essay by U.S. cartoonist Bill Plympton, covers the topic from "first" to "big & passionate.'' Lea Press-on Limbs is a bizarre spoof of youknow-who's press-on fingernails from American Chris Miller. And the splendiferously computer-animated Tin Toy is presented by the veteran Pixar studios, who won an Academy A ward for it. A Nice Day In The Country, a Canadian piece, may seem, along with the Bulgarian Wednesday Eve Of Tuesday, No art: what's the deal, Trump? by John T. Orrigo TORCH Staff Writer "Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. That is how I get my kicks.'' It is this arrogant drudgery that you are subjected to in the new book TRUMP: The Art of the Deal by Donald Trump. What it delivers is everything you always suspected about the makeup of Donald Trump: the pomposity, the shallowness, and above all, the need for more money, more toys, and more attention. All Trump does is talk about himself, my buildings, my deals, my apartment, my football team. He is definitely the embodiment of greed. What can be so surprising is that he is so famous. He is only the 27th largest developer in the U.S., only built three buildings in Manhattan, and as a corporate shark he only draws yawns on Wall Street. Trump is a master of hype in the communications capital of the world, exaggerating anything and everything. Given Trump's track record, readers might wonder why they should believe anything Donald Trump says in this book. Trump is undoubtedly the finest example we have of materialism, ambition, and self-appreciation among the baby boomers. He has become the hero of yuppies all across the nation, who now can achieve the success that Trump has in his new game (as if you couldn't guess), TRUMP: The Art of the Deal, The Game. Now for all you Trump wanna-he's, you too can build condos, evict people, open casinos, and take cruises on your very own yacht, all for only $19.95. Donald Trump has simply seduced the media into creating a persona that he considers himself, not necessarily what he is. He could not have brought this off anywhere but in New York. Donald Trump told the Wall Street Journal, "If a person has an instinct for making deals they'll make a fortune bf reading this book." Yes, they will -- for Donald Trump. CONDOM VARIETY PACKS plus:· to be a cute concept somewhat overdone. Primiti Too Taa is definitely an experiment that failed. And Hello Dad, I'm In Jail, one of two vehicles in this Festival for the music of the British punk group Was (Not Was), is lacking a plot but there's enough to like abJut each of these that they won't be a complete ordeal for you to sit through. See the Festival, and you'll come away satisfied. This collection of artist's diverse visions gives you humor, drama, and food for thought; all wellprepared, all at one sitting. A feast for the senses of this caliber comes along far too infrequently. Bon Appetit. (The Festival of Animation plays nightly at the Bijou Theatre on 13th Street in Eugene.)

In addition to these activities, free weekly musical shows have been provided and the upcoming Peace on Earth Week activities are being planned. It has also funded and maintained a vast array of student services: free legal counseling, free phones, Wednesday coffee, LTD bus pass subsidies, photo ID card assignment and production, and the Student Resource Center among others. Action has begun and will be followed up next year on issues such as increased child care programs and free communicable disease counseling for students. The most visible (to students) ASLCC-sponsored addition to the college is the new Student Resource Center desk, built for a cost of $3000 and installed in March. The most visible (to the community) ASLCC sponsored event was Jan. 16's Martin Luther King Jr Celebration, which brought Martin Luther King III to the Hult Center in front of a capacity crowd. Cultural Director Michael Stewart produced the event, which cost $13,794 and featured musical numbers as well as speeches by King, community leaders, and LCC staff. Perhaps this year's most hotly debated initiative (which eventually failed) was Feb. 13's Affirmitive Action 004, which would have placed a quota for minority hiring on the ASLCC. Millet stated at the time that the initiative would create "active" rather than "passive" hiring of minorities. But some ASLCC members were critical of potential accompanying "red tape'' and wished to hear more on the legalities involved. (See Feb. 24 TORCH.) Finally, some criticisms and controversies concerning the student government have recently been aired in the editorial pages of the TORCH. As they continue to draw attention and responses deserving of further inquiry, upcoming news articles may appear to update a review of the ASLCC's 1988-89 accomplishments. LCC STUDENTS Students, Career Information Center, she is most satisfied working with the international students. "I really love tutoring," she says, "helping foreign students with conversational English. '' At the end of the fall term, I asked two Oriental students I was helping what they wanted to do. They said they wanted to go to a movie with someone who spoke English, so we rented a couple of movies. They brought sushi and we had a lot of fun. We could stop the movie and talk about things they didn't understand. I learned a lot about their culture and mine.'' "I almost always work in the Career Information Center," says Jones. He is called the expert in that area by some associates. • • If you are a qualifying 2-year graduate you will receive $400 from GMAC to help you buy or lease a vehicle from us.

He says he had been out of school for about 10 years before coming to LCC -- fresh out of the military and without any friends.· After registering, an associate called him up and told Jones about a new pilot program of student support 5roups to ease the transition to :::ollege for new students. Jones joined one led by SSA David Spencer. Jones says Spencer helped him get out of the military mode and into a civilian one. Associates are involved with a large segment of LCC's student services, and develop a niche, which we know is important for each student to find in a large, sometimes impersonal, setting (like a college campus). They mingle conspicuously among the crowd at registration, dressed to ensure they will be noticed. Their bright red (and blue) T-shirts are embossed with a big black question mark above the message to fellow students: "Ask me." "It seems to me," says Jones, "to be a kind of 'lost and found' thing (helping students find their way). Dave did a good job helping me, so I wanted to return the favor.'' Counselor Tim Blood, 1978-83 SSA coordinator, is taking the helm once more while current coordinator Poole participates in a temporary exchange with a counselor from Southern California. He says one immediate change in the program will be holding the traditional Heceta House retreat August 29, 30, and 31, instead of in June. Blood says there are a limited number of departmentally funded and work study positions available as Student Servives Associates for the coming school year.
