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

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

'Analyst' unreal
To the Editor:
' Re: Two letters printed in
the TORCH (4-14) critical of
student government appointments, funding, and procedures.
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.) If
she found out about the trip
by reading the March 3 issue
of the TORCH, why has it

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.

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.

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.

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.

'Pet_roleum monkey' has country going bananas
Commentary by Bob Parker
TORCH Staff Writer

Several days ago the president of Exxon announced that
he wasn't going to commit
suicide over the Alaskan oil
spill. 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.

The TORCH

Celebrate peace
To the Editor:
Monday, May 1, the day on
. which traditional spring
festivals are celebrated internationally, marks the beginning of a variety of LCC Peace
Week activities.
Increasing numbers of people worldwide are waking up
to the knowledge that if our
beautiful blue-green planet is
to survive we must change our
current shortsighted, fearful,
and foolish economic,
political, and environmentally
destructive systems.
There are alternatives, but
not for slugs, sheep, and
ostriches.
To
explore
thoughtful possibilities, to
nourish our hope, and to
celebrate the return of green
life to our oil-smeared earth
choking on its own wastes,
please participate in as many
Peace Week (May 1-5) activities as possible. Details will
be published soon. Thank you
for your consideration.

Kurayas
Good prices, great food, and a nice atmosphere are_ what
you'll find at Kurayas Thai food restaurant. 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.

A college athletic department is like a
garden. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Vehicles turn lawn into mud
by Don Standeford
T O RCH Staff Writer

Between Eldon Schafer
Drive and LCC's east parking
lot is a stretch of road used by
motorists, bicyclists and
pedestrians to reach 30th
Avenue, and make their way
home from school.
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

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.

A RT

The musical comedy Stop
the World - I Want to Get
Off, LCC's Spring Term Main
Stage Theatre production,
opens April 28 at 8 p.m. in the
college's main theater.
This musical by Anthony
Newley and Leslie Bricusse has
enjoyed successful runs on
both sides of the Atlantic, according to director Jerry
Seifert, an LCC theater instructor who last directed
LCC's Little Shop of Horrors.
The -play tells the story of
Littlechap, a twentieth century
Everyman who rises from rags
to riches. It's a chronicle of a
common man's entire life,
from his birth to his courtship
and shot-gun wedding, his going to work in his rich,
domineering father-in-law's
business, his gradual rise to
eminence as an industrial tycoon, his election to Parliament and his elevation to
knighthood.

See the 1989 'Festival of .Anima tion'....
by John Piper
TORCH Staff Writer

The 1989 Festival of Animation, playing at the Bijou
Theatre, clearly discloses the
versatility of animation as a
medium. 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.

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.

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.

Celebration in January, as
well as three political forums
featuring prominent guest
speakers
in
October,
November, and December.
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.

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.

Brian Jones is yet another of
the 20 SSAs at Lane. 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,
