Drug-free campus

mandated by Feds

TORCH Staff Writer

Good music and fine crafts, like Nancy Barry's Raven Glassworks, graced the north end of
the Center Building during Peace Week.

By federal law, LCC is now required to maintain a "drug-free
environment.''
• Students receiving federal financial aid grants for the
1989-90 college year will be the first to face the law. They are required to complete an Anti-Drug Abuse Act Certification form.
• All LCC students and staff will be required to report illegal
drug-related activities, and the college must develop rehabilitation policies as well as sanctions against violators.
• Aircraft maintenance students and staff may be required to
submit to urinalysis.
Financial Aid Oath
Linda De Witt, assistant director of LCC's Financial Aid
Department, emphasizes that Financial Aid didn't ask for the
new legislation -- "We don't think of ourselves as policemen."
But when the law went into effect on March 18, 1989, her office
became required to enforce the letter of the law at LCC.
De Witt cites the 1988 act which former Pres. Ronald Reagan
signed in November of that year: '' Any recipient of a Pell Grant
must certify to the Department of Education ·that he or she will
not engage in certain unlawful actions involving controlled
substances during the period covered by the Pell Grant."
This certification is satisfied by signing the following statement: "I certify that, as a condition of my Pell Grant, I will not
engage in the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation,
possession or use of a controlled substance during the period
covered by my Pell Grant.'' This only appli~s to Pell Grant recipients.
Pell Grant recipients are considered the direct grantees, e!{see Drug-Free, page 11

Forensics Team continues winning streak at home
by Tom Nash
TORCH Staff Writer

Members of the LCC Forensics Team displayed their
polished verbal skills by winning the Oregon section of the
• Northwest Forensics Conference Community College
Championships, held April
28-29 on the LCC campus.
Ten community colleges from
Oregon and Washington competed in the championships.
Of the seven members of
LCC's speech team, five were
either finalists or trophy winners. ''That is a great percentage,'' says LCC speech instructor Barbara Bread en.
"We feel really good about
it."
The top individual performer on the LCC team was
Veasna Chan Yun, who won
three trophies, placing first in
persuasive speaking, second in
informative speaking, and second in after dinner speaking.
His persuasive speech was on
the trade imbalance betwen
the U.S. and Japan, the same
speech which won him first
place last winter at the District
Qualifier for the National Individual Events Tournament
and first place on April 12 at
the Oregon Intercollegiate

Oratorical Association Competition in Salem.
Yun, 18, immigrated to the
U.S. from Cambodia at age 5.
He will major in business at
the U of O next year, and
ultimately plans to enter law
school.
On May 5-6, Yun will be
competing in the Intercollegiate Oratorical Association Tournament in Connecticut, where he will use his
same speech. "Usually you
will use a topic and just stay
with it," says Breaden. "As
long as it's going well, you will
keep speaking on that same
topic.''
LCC team member Cheryl
Jacob, who won trophies last
fall at Clark College's Penguin
Invitational Tournament, was
a finalist (among the top six)
in informative speaking in last
week's championship. "She's
got a really dynamic speaking
style," says Bread en of Jacob.
Others on the LCC Forensics Team who won trophies at
last week's Northwest Championships were Kelly Gregerson and John Harrington,
who were awarded the second
place trophy in dramatic duo
reading. They performed an
excerpt from the play "A
Walk in the Woods,'' a con-

versation between two
diplomats, a Russian and an
American, over arms limitations.
Gregerson, a theater student, also won a second place
trophy in programmed oral int er pre ta ti on, also called
dramatic reading. Jenelle Bennet and John Harrington were
individual finalists in extemporaneous speaking.

At this time LCC doesn't
have a debate team, though
there was a debate event at the
recent championships. "Most
forensics coaches who have
debate teams have an assistant," says Breaden. "I don't
have an assistant. You really
have to be able to work with
the groups separately -debate and indiviq.ual events.
We just don't have the time to

do that right now."
On May 12-13, the team will
compete in the Tom McCall
Invitational at Clackamas
Community College in Oregon
City. Universities as well as
community colleges will compete in this tournament.
Interested students are invited to join the forensic team.
Public speaking experience is
not necessary.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Staff responds
To the Editor:
RE: Response to the article
on campus child care.
The staff for the Child
Development Center would
like to correct some of the
misinformation published in
your recent article about the
on-campus child care center.
First and foremost, the
students and everyone must be
made aware that the child care
centers were created to be a lab
for those students studying
early childhood education and
to be a model child care
center. All staff persons have
had the same training, which
provides consistency in
teaching and guidance. The
centers have been set up by
professionals and all state,
federal and local guidelines are
strictly adhered to.
In an attempt to be cost ef1

fective our fees range from
$1.35 - $1.95 per hour in the
preschool and from $2.05 to
$2. 75 per hour in the Infant
and Toddler center. The fees
are a flat rate weekly fee based
on the child's schedule and not
charged as an hourly rate.
We are licensed by the state
to serve 30 preschool children
and 24 infants and toddlers
combined. These figures
reflect the maximum number
of chidren allowed in the
center at any time. We do,
however, currently serve 42
preschoolers and 30 infants
and toddlers combined
because of the variety of
scheduling options. These
children feel secure because of
the established routine of the
centers. The children and the
students are constantly observed and evaluated and our staff
model the highest standards
for child care professionals.

There is no overcrowding.
Due to the state regulations
we cannot accommodate dropin care or sick children. The
state laws governing such a
center are very costly to
operate legally. Our centers
were not designed nor can we
afford to accommodate such a
center. Any parent should
look carefully at any child care
center that is staffed by people
with no consistent training in
child care and would allow
sick children for drop in care
along with other children on a
·drop in basis.
Child care is one of the most
important issues facing our
society. The answers to these
issues cannot be quickly decided upon and there should not
be blame directed at the oncampus child care centers for
not accommodating every
parent's child care needs. A
greater awareness of the oncampus child care would eliminate prejudgement by the
TORCH.
We welcome anyone who
would like to visit our centers:
mornings are the better time.
Our staff will be happy to
share information about these
model centers. For those interested in observing the Infant and Toddler Center we
ask that you call ahead to set
up an appointment.

Need counselor
To the Editor:
One of the first ~oncerns of
any student is how they are going to pay for their education.
What they are going to study,
when they are going to start,
and what classes they are going to take are all moot questions if they don't have the
means to pay for tuition and
books.
Taking this into consideration one of the first people a
prospective student should see
is a financial aid counselor.

The TORCH

Before leaving office former Pres. Reagan signed into effect
the Anti-Drug Abuse Act. Included in the new law is the requirement that any recipient of a Pell Grant must certify to the
Department of Education that he/ she will not engage in certain
unlawful actions involving controlled substances during the
period covered by the Pell Grant.
It also provides that if an individual is convicted of certain
drug-related federal or state offenses a court may suspend
his/her eligibility for federal benefits, including Title IV Financial Aid (Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grants, Perkins Loans, College Work Study, Oregon State Need
Grants, Stafford Loans, Plus Loans, and SLS Loans). See the
news story on page 1 for further details.
The act is a defective offensive in the government's War on
Drugs.
The new law leaves a loophole for potential drug testing; it
will be difficult to enforce; it is unfair and discriminatory
because it doesn't include other crimes (such as murder or rape);
it empowers the courts to make decisions about access to education; and the information available about the act is vague. Finally, it ignores the need for drug abuse prevention, and instead
focuses on punishment through disciplinary action.
Drug testing: So far there has been no talk of mandatory drug
testing for recipients of federal money, with the exception of
aviation students and personnel. But there is no statement in the
law prohibiting drug testing in the future, and with the recent increase in such testing it is likely that this act is just the first step
towards mandatory urinalysis of students receiving federal
grants.
Enforcement: As it now stands, the act is virtually unenforceable, unless of course college financial aid offices are asked
to act as policing agencies. The majority of people who use controlled substances never get caught, so this act will be another
law that is all words and no meaning.
Courts: When a student receiving federal aid gets arrested for
a drug offense it will be up to the judge's discretion whether the
student's funding will continue or not. This takes power away
from college financial aid offices and places it right in the hands
of the courts, which really have nothing to do with college
education or financial aid.
Could one judge take away grants from a student who was arrested for smoking a joint, while yet another judge didn't take it
away from a student who was arrested for possessing user quantities of cocaine? There should be some set guidelines to ensure
that these decisions will not be made arbitrarily.
Discrimination: It is unfair and discriminatory that only
students who are arrested for involvement with controlled
substances can lose their federal funding. What about violent
criminals, sex offenders, or thieves? It appears that the government is saying that people who are involved in drugs are not
worthy of financial assistance for education, while murderers
and rapists are acceptable and deserve financial help.
Any law that removes a student's grant money due to a conviction for a criminal offense should cover all criminal offenses
and not single out any particular type of crime.
Vague: The information on the certification form that grant
students must sign is very vague. Even the people who work at
the Pell Grant office in Washington, D.C. don't seem to know
very much about it and didn't want to be quoted in the TORCH.
Why is the federal government implementing a law about which
people (even federal employees) are unsure?
What is so frustrating is that the law focuses on disciplinary
action, not on prevention.
Educating people about the problems drugs cause in individuals and in our society as a whole is the only way to
decrease the use and sale of drugs in the U.S.
It is far past time that the government admits it is not only
concerned with drug abuse and drug related violence, but is also
concerned about the millions of dollars that are changing hands
without any form of taxation.
If the government wants people to stop selling drugs, taking
away a student's grant money will only encourage the student to
continue to sell drugs so that he/ she can support him/herself
and go to school.
If we continue to educate people about drug abuse, offer them
career information, and work to empower them as individuals,
we can continue to slow down the use of drugs in America.
Threatening students with the removal of grant money is not
the way to end the drug problem.

Lettersfrom page2 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __
It seems to me that this is a
real deficiency in the services
that we offer at LCC. True,
we have the financial aid office, but they just process the
forms and give out only the
most superficial information
about the financial aid process.
Almost every other educational institution that I have
come into contact with has
financial aid counselors -people who when asked will
sit down with you and explain
the process to you. These institutions see the value of
financial aid counselors,
which is they allow more
students to go to school.
A lot of people will take one
look at the paperwork that's
involved and give up in
despair. Some colleges will do
almost everything but sign the
papers for you.
Can LCC really complain
about a lack of voter support
when, in all likelihood, some
of these same voters have been
turned away from LCC for a
lack of financial aid? It is kind
of like biting the hand that
feeds you.
I think that we could use a
financial aid counselor in the
marketing effort that LCC has
been implementing. This
counselor could work with
local agencies and schools during times when the demand for
financial aid information is
traditionally slow. This would
help increase LCC's image of
accessibility.
Voters would be more likely
to vote in an increase of the
tax base if they thought that
they and their children would
be assured of the help they'll
need if they decide to attend
LCC.
A financial aid counselor
and the materials required to
support this person would cost
the college a nice little chunk
of change. This money would
from
come
to
have
somewhere.
I would see some of it coming from the Hub Project,
which is a poorly thought out
and woefully underbudgeted
project.
Some of this expense could
come out of ·the president's
special projects fund and yet a
little more could be drawn out
of the marketing budget.
With a little thought and
planning this person would
have a minimal impact on the
budget and could yield a profit
from this investment through
an increase in students and
public goodwill.
This is just a fine tuning of
LCC's operation and not a
cure all for the problems we
are facing. When you look at
the bottom line, the reason for
LCC's existence, that is, to
educate students, this idea
makes sense. If we aren't here
to help students, then why are
we here for?

Proposal unfair
To the Editor:
LTD' s proposal to assess

each LCC student a fee for bus
service is UNFAIR! !
LCC is a Community College, serving a more diverse
population than U of 0. There
are many students, like me,
who live out of town, and
must drive to campus. LTD
does not serve Oakridge,
where I live. Why should I be
assessed a fee for a service I
cannot possibly use??
Keep the present program of
reduced fare bus passes, to be
purchased by those students
who will and can ride LTD to
campus. This is the only FAIR
way.

To the Editor:
Do you support Roe V.
Wade? Do you really support
the current laws regarding
abortion? Take this little test
to examine your views regarding abortion.
Question: Should a woman
be permitted to abort a child if
she wants a boy baby, but
discovers she is pregnant with
a girl?
Question: Let's say you
have an unmarried 16-yearold, from an upper income
family. She gets pregnant, and
the parents feel this could a ffect their ''model family'' image. They pressure the
daughter to abort. She doesn't
want an abortion but fears the
threats of the parents. About?
What about the "choice"
argument here?
Question: Is abortion
justifiable if a graduate student discovers she's pregnant,
and may have to delay her
master's completion for a
small amount of time?
Question: Is abortion okay
if a woman is offered a promotion that will require a lot
of time commitment, but
discovers she's pregnant?
Question: What if a 39-yearold mother of two teenagers
discovers she's pregnant, and
this could affect some of the
middle-age lifestyle plans she
and her husband have?
If you answered "no" to
any of these situations, you
aren't really in support of
abortion-on-demand and Roe
v. Wade. You're probably
part of the true majority that
would permit abortion in cases
involving rape or maternal
health problems, but would
like to see an end to the current anything goes situation.

Proud of Dornan
To the Editor,
I am writing this letter to let
you know how proud you
should be of KoLynn Dornan.
She is your student body Vice
President, and the CCOSAC
Student Legislative Director.
You're probably somewhat
familiar with her duties and
responsibilities as your Vice
President, but don't know
CCOSAC from a wheat sack,
so I'll try and help you out.
First of all, CCOSAC is an
acronym for Community Colleges of Oregon Student
Association and Commissions. So what's that? Basically it means the student body
presidents from all the community colleges in Oregon get
together once a month to share
ideas and discuss state-wide
issues. Legislation is a very important state-wide issue, and
that's where KoLynn comes
in.
She only recently assumed
the position as the head of
CCOSAC's Legislative Team,

Swim challenge
To the Editor:
Let me introduce myself.
My name is Chuck Doerr, and
I am a physically challenged
swimmer with Cerebral Palsy.
I now reside in Eugene, Ore.
and entered the Southern
California Regional Meet in
San Diego winning two Gold
Medals and two Second Place
Ribbons. (The event was the 3
x 50 Individual Medley.)
I have been swimming since
the age of 12 and was invited
to compete when I moved to
San Diego three years ago. I
previously competed in New

York in the summer of 1987
Can-Am Games, and also in
the 1988 B.C. Championships
in Canada.
My goal for writing this letter is to raise funding for the
Competition Events in San
Francisco (M), Dallas (M),
San Antonio (M), in Minn.
(N) and B.C. Canada
(Canadian National). My immediate goal is to place in
these meets and win gold
medals.
As a National Competitive
Swimmer, I am in need of
financial support in order to
see m y dream realized,
hopefully to become a member
of the USA Paralympics in
1992. I'm looking at competing in the Nationals, the
Can-Am Games and the B.C.
Championships. In order to
obtain these goals the following amounts would be needed: _
Approximately $1500 to
$2000 which would cover my
expenses for traveling, lodging
and entry fees.

Donations may be sent to
the Chuck Doerr Memorial
Fund, OGPL, P.O. Box 665,
Salem, Ore. 97308.
I would be most thankful
for any contribution you could
make to my competitive swimming fund.

Behind scenes
To the Editor:
I feel that credit should be

given to all those ''behind the
scenes" people (in LCC's performance Stop the World I

"behind the scenes" people do
is what actually makes the
show a show.
I would like to see the
TORCH recognize these people. Such as Wayte Kirchner
who helped with all the vocals
in Stop the World I Want to

William Sound. I hope that you will consider it for
publication as a Letter to the Editor, or as you see fit.
I serve as a naturalist on a cruise ship, the S.S.
UNIVERSE, the educational cruise, sailing the inside
passage to Valdez since summer 1984.
Thank you very much.
Prince William Sound, Spring 1989
The sea otter surfaced, shellfish stuffed in his armpit
Rolled on his back and began crushing
the prey with his massive teeth,
No need for tools as used by smaller cousins off Monterey.
The killer whale cruised the cold sea
dorsal fin breaking the surface as he breathed,
Click and squeak vocalizations were emitted
bouncing from Orea to Orea,
maintaining contact with the pod
and monitoring the marine environment.
The Glaucous Winged Gull flew over the Sound
sharp eyes scanned the water surface,
The Gull was alert to every opportunity,
fish or carcass, feeding descent flights of his fellows ,
or pursuit dives of Cormorants
and Murres, all indicating: Food.
Fishes swam the sea, Herring, Mackerel,
mighty Salmon pursued by their predators including
Fishermen in their boats, setting their nets and lines,
Later hauling in treasures fresh caught from the sea.
The Sun rose and set, moon and stars circled overhead,
and
Otters dived,
Orcas cruised,
Gulls flew,
Fishes swam ,
Fishermen fish ed.
On the shore in a warm safe room
Bloatbelly armed with attache case
Sang his siren song: Profits .
Bureaucrats jumped and danced
to the Tune of Triumph: Progress.
Bloatbelly intoned Truths: People,
Progress, Profits and: Recent technological
advances preclude possibility of major disaster,
and: statistically the chances are vanishingly
small, for all practical purposes: zero ,
and: thousands of jobs.
Oil flowed from Prudhoe on the slope,
across Alaska' s Tundra on to Valdez and the Sound
and the Captain of a lonely ship on a cold sea took a drink.
And Millions of gallons are spreading
over the surface of Prince William Sound
Across this beautiful land a cry went up,
Not against the Attache Case fearsome weapon that could
make the lives of millions hopeless,
or instantly terminate massive numbers of brothers
with slightly different DNA,
But against the unfortunate Sea Captain,
Bloatbelly's choice for diversion
and sacrifice.
Oil flowed from Prudhoe on the slope,
across Alaska's Tundra on to Valdez and the Sound
And Millions of gallons are spreading
over the surface of Prince William Sound
And Sea Otters, Orcas, Gulls, Fish
and Fishermen . . .

Changes are difficu lt for Russian revolu tion
Commentary by
John T. Orrigo
TORCH Staff Writer

Perestroika is Revolution,
Perestroika is Reform.
Once again, Mikhail Gorbachev has electrified the
Soviet Union by demanding

Originally he thought he
had a great deal and would be
able to turn everything upside
down immediately. He was
wrong.
The people have waited, not
knowing what to do or what
was expected. Only now are

"Perestroika is no whim on the part of some

ambitious ind iv id uals or a group of leaders.
This society is ripe for change."
sweeping reform.
Gorbachev's control over
the party was strengthened
further after a recent special
session of the Communist
Central Party where it removed more than a third of the
committee's 301 members.
While these •changes show
Gorbachev very much in command for the moment, they
also reveal the difficulty of his
position.
Russians are still sitting
around debating and talking
about change, but through
these discussions they will
develop the momentum and
intellectual freedom they need
to make decisions about how
they want their country run.
So how much support does
Gorbachev have in the Soviet
Union?

they slowly coming forward,
The main problem now in
the Soviet Union is that
everything is at a standstill and
seem to take twice as long.
Gorbachev declares collectivization and centralized control of agriculture to be irredeemable failures and he
proposes to return the land to
the families.
Collectivization succeeded
in establishing the party's
political control of the countryside. That made it possible
for farmers to double their
percentage of total output, so
that the government could
send it to urban workers and
the military. But last year's
grain crop was 5 percent
smaller than average annual
output in the late 1970s.
Can Perestroika succeed?
Not unless the Soviets will give
up the idea of their empire.

Says George Bush when asked if Gorbachev will stay in office long enough to put it into
effect, "We want Perestroika
to succeed, and so do the
Soviets.''
As with earlier economic initiatives there is reason to
doubt Gorbachev's ability to
pull it off. His plan is vague,
and reflects division within the
Soviet elite and public fear
that successful rural reform
will eventually mean higher
food prices. Moreover, it is
not clear that Soviet farmers
will greet reform with enthusiasm; they long ago learned that it doesn't pay to take
chances.
Gorbachev's answer is to
dismantle much of the central
bureaucracy, return the land
to the peasants and give them
broad discretion about what
they grow and to whom they
sell. He stops short of
and
state
abolishing
cooperative farms but does
propose a variety of long-term
lease arrangements that could
amount to the same thing.
He is not saying how he will
ration scarce capital among
farms. Nor has he explained
how the incredibly inefficient
state-owned distribution network will reduce spoilage or
get bumper crops to market on
dirt roads.
How will the grain price,
paid to farmers be set? It ap-

Unfortunately four and a
half years into Perestroika, or
restructuring, millions of
Soviets still resist the hard
work and new mindset he
demands.
Gorbachev says "We must
tackle problems in a spirit of
cooperation rather than
animosity." He notes,

Yet he is also capable of
ideological sloganeering -''socialism means more
democracies" -- certain to
produce groans in the
democracies. His rosy picture
of national unity glosses over
serious problems. He hardly
addresses issues such as
human rights and growing
unrest of non-Russian ethnic
groups.
But Gorbachev's proposed
cures for the failing Soviet
economy do not resolve a fundamental problem: How a
top-down bureaucracy with
immense power can nurture
the innovation and creativity
necessary for its people in the
new Information Age?
Most are not optimistic

"Revolution requires the demolition of all
that is obsolete, stagnant and hinders fast ·
progress. Without demolition, you cannot
clear the site for new construction."
however, that "emotional outhurts are an inevitable part of
any complicated endeavor."
With Gorbachev's conviction in risking himself and the
system there is no doubt:
Perestroika will succeed, to
the glory of Communism,
though it adopts capital trappings.

about the chances of success
for Gorbachev, although their
support for the leader seems
strong.
Once Moscow lets go, it will
be very hard to go back to the
bad old ways. And that,
ultimately, is what Perestroika
is really about.

Gorbachev.

ASLCC CANDIDATE'S FORUM
Tuesda y, May 9, 1989
1:00 - 2:30 p.m.

Sponsored by the ASLCC

TORCH Staff Writer

In November of 1987, Diesel Technology instructor
Daryl J ossart heard a noise that sounded like a cannon
fired overhead.
It was a lower roof beam cracking in the Diesel
Technology Building's roof structure.
LCC Campus Services Director Paul Colvin says structural design flaws are the causes for the cracks. That
November, . Colvin's office installed temporary beams to
stabilize the roof. The repairs are finally scheduled to
begin this June, after classes are out.
Instruction has continued in the building. The main inconvenience has been operating without use of the
overhead crane that lifts and moves heavy items, such as
engines, out of machinery, says Assistant Director David
Wienecke.
Colvin says the crane is not directly attached to the
cracked beams, and "is not a critical factor in what's happening to the roof." Rather, he says the structure does not
meet the "design criteria to maintain the dead (permanent)
load," which is the weight of the materials that are a part
of the roof structure itself.
The crane hasn't been used, he says, because its operation could worsen the damaged structure.
Repairing the building "was not ~n easy problem to
solve," Colvin says. "It took engineers most of the last
year from around January of 1988 until they came up with
the solution last September.'' They had to consider two
computer analyses of the structure and about four alternative repair schemes. Ultimately, Colvin says, a metal
tube design proved to be the most efficient and cost effective.
At the Feb. 8 meeting of the LCC Board of Education,
the Hufford Construction Co. of Portland won the contract for the beam repairs with a low bid of $99,425. Hufford will replace the fractured wood beams with fabricated
• steel tubes, says Colvin.

pears that Gorbachev will let
grain prices rise slowly and
hope that output grows so
rapidly that urbanites never

and prematurely wear out the
tires. -- Dr. Decorum

by Carl Mottle
TORCH Staff Writer

Dear Dr. Decorum -- Is it proper to wear a micro miniskirt
to classes?
Pia Z. Dora -- Performing
Arts
Dear Pia -- The desk and chair
combination most used on
campus requires you to move
as if simultaneously twirling a
hula hoop and dancing the
twist to be seated. This makes
your question more a matter
of propriety than of fashion
and depending on your hip
size, perhaps solely a matter of
physics.
However, studies indicate to
be seated in one of these
"back breaker" units and retain minimal poise takes a skill
level equivalent to three full
years of charm school. Also,
attempting such a maneuver in
a micro miniskirt involves
committing a second degree
misdemeanor each time you
seat yourself. Please be guided
by this information. -- Dr.
Decorum
Dear Dr. Decorum -- I know
that wheelchairs have priority
use of elevators on campus,
but should I give up my spot
on a crowded elevator off
campus to a person in a
wheelchair?
Ozzie Loscope -- Electronics
Tech
Dear Ozzie -- Only if he/ she
approaches at full speed and is
not equipped with air brakes.
However, temper this advice
with the fact that using the
stairs, especially going down,
tends to savagely notch wheels

Dear Dr. Decorum -- My wife
and I have money bet on this
one. She says, after a formal
dinner, it is more correct to
stir coffee with your left hand,
and I say you stir with your
right hand. Is she right or am
I?
Biff Buffet -- Food Services
Dear Biff -- Neither. You
should use a spoon. -- Dr.
Decorum
Dear Dr. Decorum -- My
boyfriend and I have been going steady while at LCC for
almost two years. I love him,
but lately he has become very
sexually aggressive. I don't
want to lose him, but I'm saving myself for marriage. Can
you suggest something to
make him think about sex less
often?
Diane Namics -- Science
Dear
Diane -- Yes.
Chloroform. -- Dr. Decorum
Dear Dr. Decorum -- I attend
classes with many people
whose native language is not
English. Am I being impolite
by not knowing a second
language?
Al Gebra -- Mathematics
Dear Al -- While you are not
obligated to speak another
language, many people think
this limits your appreciation of
other cultures and deprives
you of an enriching learning
experience. I myself can converse in English, Randy MC
Rap, and IBMPC. -- Dr.
Decorum

,.

...,

Dear Polly -- If you find
yourself in a similarsituationin
the future, calmly and politely
state that the drugs and
alcohol interfere with your
AIDS medication. I doubt
anyone will delay your exit. -- Dr. Decorum
Dear Dr. Decorum -- You
think being polite is so great
like saying the right thing and
acting the right way. Well, the
words you use to say
something shouldn't matter if
you get your meaning across,
right?
Roger Wilco -- Adult Ed.
Dear Roger -- A good point,
but sometimes the way you say
something conveys all or part
of the message. For example,
do you see the difference in
saying to a girl "When I look
at you time stands still'' as
contrasted with, "Your face
would stop a clock"? -- Dr.
Decorum
Dear Dr. Decorum -- Like,
can you believe this whole Exxon Valdez disaster, man? I
mean, it's just low down to
mess up the planet like that,
and I am totally bummed out
by the whole thing. How do
you feel about it?
Sean Pencil -- Transfer

Don't Forget to VOTE

Dear Dr. Decorum -- I'm new
to the LCC campus and don't
know many people, so when I
was invited to a party I went
by myself. I was having fun
until everyone started using
drugs and alcohol. I don't use
either of these substances and
was embarrassed and a little
scared when this group of
mostly men wouldn't let me
leave until I tried something. I
think they had other things in
mind too. I sneaked out a
bathroom window and cried
all the way home. Could I
have handled this in a different way and at least left in a
more dignified manner?

License or Liberty?
Column by John F. Piper
TORCH Staff Writer

At last! I have reached the public! Granted, a nearlyillegible note scrawled in pencil on a soiled sheet of
notebook paper is not exactly the recognition I expected,
but at least I know now that someone out there is reading
this column. (See Letters to the Editor, April 28, 1989.)
Ben Weeks may actually have a point, albeit a minor
one.
The point to which I refer is Weeks' assertion that "It's
beyond ludicrous that a a writer for a newspaper could act
in such a manner.' J
I agree wholeheartedly. If a writer for the TORCH were
to try to out-shout a raving anti-abortionist on a streetcorner, he or she would immediately be charged with, at
the very least, conflict of interest, moral turpitude, delusions of grandeur, halitosis, plagiarism, public drunkenness, touch-typing, faulty verb agreement, dereliction of
duty, harboring literary aspirations, etc.
And justly so. There's only one way to treat a
newswriter who has so far overstepped the bounds of journalistic procedure as to give even half a damn about
anything. Weld the miscreant into a barbed-wire strait
jacket, coat that inkstained freak with bear grease and
postage stamps, and mail the whole nasty package out for
vivisection.
We must keep the public safe from this kind of thing,
and radical situations call for radical solutions.
But the fact of the matter is that I was not a writer for
the TORCH or any other newspaper at the time of the incident in question. I was 17 years old, and a sophomore in
high school. Allow me to extend my apologies for not having made this clearer in my column.
Would I do again what I did then? Not in the same way,
certainly: the first few tactics I tried on that day in my
youth only exacerbated the nuisance I was trying to correct. But I most certainly would bring the problem to the
attention of responsible authorities.
There's a difference between expressing one's opinion
civilly in an accepted forum -- such as a letters to the editor
column -- and shrieking incoherently in the street. It would
seem that Mr. Weeks has failed to grasp this distinction.
It's the difference between liberty and license. Liberty
allows you to swing your fist only so far as the nose of
another, and no farther .
License, on the other hand, allows you to hammer away
until you've killed someone, or to abuse the general public
verbally as loudly as you please, with no fear of legal
retribution.
License, Mr. Weeks, is not the principle on which our
country's political system was founded.
As a side note, let me add that if I ever see you in a
crowded movie theater, I plan to run the other direction
before you can start a riot by yelling "Fire!"

Proposed bus stop location lacks accessability

by Michael Omogrosso
TO RC H Staff Writer

Two representatives from
Lane Transit District (LTD),
Paul
Planner
Transit
Zvonkovic and Planning Administrator Stefano Viggiano,
met with the Disabled
Students Advisory Club Mnnday, May 14, to hear comments from the club on the
proposed and existing bus
stops.
LTD prefaced the meeting
with a handout giving supporting arguments for relocating
the bus stop to the fountain
area on the west side of the
campus, highlights from the
November 1988 LCC ridership
survey, and some of the issues
the proposed move raises for
the disabled.
Allowing the buses to use
the cloverleaf at the western
entrance/ exit of LCC was the
main LTD reason for
relocating the bus stop. A savings of $16,000 in operation
cost due to an average reduction in travel time of two
minutes pef trip would result,
which translates to faster service for patrons. Increased
safety is also cited, since buses
would not have to cross the
flow of traffic at the corner of
30th Avenue and Eldon Shafer
Drive.
LTD states the proposed site
would be safer for pedestrians
and address inadequacies in
the capacity and amenities at

the current site -- not enough
bench space or room for wheel
chairs, poor lighting, and poor
weather protection.
Club
Advisory
The
members expressed great opposition to moving to the new
site. Top on the list of objections was the inaccessability of
the proposed site and the
distance from the Center
Building, the only structure on
campus with an elevator (the
elevator allows access to other
floors, both in the Center
Building and some other structures on campus).

Also, the proposed site
would eliminate some existing
designated disabled parking
close to Correctives, which are
used by permanently and and
temporarily disabled alike.
Nancy Humphrey, an LCC
student confined to a motorized wheelchair, indicated that
to get past the steps on the
walkway from the proposed
site, wheelchairs would have
to go either through the
Health and PE Building or
travel in the road where the
busses currently stop.

club, said his wife, who is also
disabled, takes the very last
bus off campus and he thinks
the proposed site is too
isolated to be safe at night.
Dolores May, disabled
coordinator-advisor, expressed concern there would be no
warm place for disabled
students, particularly those
confined to a wheelchair, in

the cold weather.
L TD's Viggiano, after hearing unanimous support for retaining the current site, suggested LTD could look at running the buses in an opposite
pattern, moving the stations to
the other side of the street.
This met with approval from
the club members.

single parents, which I am currently lobbying for in Salem. I would like to see better communications by all campus media sources used by ASLCC to inform the students of events,
elections and safety measures on campus. I want to see more student diversity in student
government which will lead to a balanced Senate. It is through cohesive student government
that a stong and active statement can be made by the students and goals can be achieved. I
want to see more diversity in social events so that every nationality is represented in some

Landfill continues with wetland compromise
by Andy Dunn
TORCH Entertainment Editor

Across the street from LCC civilization is creeping over a wetland area truckload by
truckload. The commercially zoned corner property is being filled for future development.

Despite a delay caused by a
cease-and-desist order issued
last summer, progress is continuing and the landfill on the
commercially zoned property
across from LCC at the corner
of 30th Avenue and Mc Vay
Highway is nearing completion.
In August of last year owner
and developer Alfred Allen
was found to be in violation of
state and federal laws concerning wetlands and the dumping
of fill discharge in a wetland
area, according to John Marshall of the Oregon Division of
State Lands in Salem.
Marshall states that Allen
failed to apply for the proper
permits and that the location
of the fill in a wetland area
(near Russel Creek) violates
the Clean Water Act.

Allen states that he did not
know that the landfill violated
any laws. Marshall, as well as
Kent Howe of the Lane County Land Management Office,
admit that some confusion exists due to differing definitions
of wetland and a lack of a
comprehensive inventory of
area wetlands.
Allen and Land Services
Division personnel have met
throughout the past year to
discuss the wetland status of
the land.
According to Marshall and
Allen, a deal was struck in
which Allen will preserve and
enhance some of his adjacent
property as a wetland area.
This mitigation plan has
allowed Allen to continue the
landfill on the corner property
for future commercial
development.
Allen says that his plans for
the property are still open, but
he is considering plans for a
restaurant, service station,
minute market, or overnight
camper lot.
"Until you get your approvals (from the government), though, you can't be
firm," says Allen.
The property is currently
zoned C-2, which limits commercial development to
neighborhood type businesses
(providing goods and services
appropriate to a small community or neighborhood), according to the Lane County
Land Management Office.
Allen -- owner of a real
estate company, a mobile
home subdivision, and part
owner of a sanitation
company -- has been accepting landfill on the property
for the past four years.
He hopes the fill and an approved sanitation system
might be finished this summer
and building permits will soon
follow .

Fire fighting season
creates new jobs

Gay Pride Week celebration
raises GALA awareness

Commentary by Don Standeford
TORCH Staff Writer

Forest fire season is here and it could be another blazing
hot one. John Skeels, who works with the U.S. Forest Service, reports that there have already been three fires in
Oregon. He says there's nothing to be alarmed about yet,
but "if the greenhouse effect is here as some think, then we
may expect more.''
The three fires in Oregon so far were caused by lightning
strikes. They were easily contained because of the location
and the time of year, unlike the Silver Complex and Rogue
Gallery fires of 1987 or the rash of lightning fires in the
Northwest states last year.
When forest fires start raging and things get out of
hand, the state and federal government call on the
assistance of private outfits like Skookum Reforestation or
Shiloh Forestry for trained firefighters and equipment.
Thousands of firefighters are sent out from private companies every year.

Sun shines on supporters of right to sexual prefere nee during Gay Pride Week.
by Cynthia Hirschhorn

Robert Mendel, a dispatcher for Skookum, says that
Skookum has "high expectations" for the 1989
season. "There are already fires in Colorado," he says, and
he also claims that "some of the effects of the drought are
still here."
Skookum hires over 400 firefighters every year and
keeps them on standby, doing other types of work during
the bulk of the fire-fighting season. Some of these workers
plant trees, fall timber, thin units and whatever else
weather permits~ Many firefighters work on a temporary
or seasonal basis.
Fighting fires and burning slash in the summer, a man or
woman can earn $500-1000 a month, depending on
previous work experience. And during some of the worst
fires it is not uncommon to make even more, especially on
federal jobs. Hot food is usually supplied, travel time is
paid, and free pop and candy are distributed.
For more information call Skookum Reforestation (503)
342-4185 or another private company or government agency.

Drug-free

for the TORCH

The U of O's Gay and Lesbian Alliance
(GALA) celebrated its annual week long Gay
Pride Week April 25-29.
GALA member Scott Shoup said this year's
pride week featured many panel discussions
with topics ranging from aging to AIDS, films,
a dance, and a rally that attracted about 300
people.
Judy Vogel, a local musician from the band
Transister, started the rally with her guitar and
vocals.
Shoup told the mixed audience of straights,
gays, and lesbians what it was like to be gay. He
spoke of "gay bashing" incidents on campus
and expressed his anger at the unwarranted
concerns of people who feel it is their right to
pass judgment on the activities that other people choose in the privacy of their own
bedrooms.
The main emphasis of the speakers was the
theme of action -- people taking stands and
fighting for gay and lesbian rights. Newly

elected ASUO Pres. Andy Clark said that
bigotry would not be tolerated in his coming
administration.
When founded, GALA's sole purpose was
sponsoring the local celebration. But now the
organization is qualified for funding through
student body fees, and has also obtained office
space in the student union building, says
Shoup. GALA now sponsors many events, and
offers many services to the community -- such
as a hotline for crisis intevention, support
groups, entertainment, and speakers.
Shoup said the celebration has historical
roots since GALA itself was formed in the late
60s as a reaction to incidents in New York's
Greenwich Village.
He says the police in that city neighborhood
often engaged in what he calls indiscriminate
raids on gay and lesbian bars, but that the
customers of the Stonewall Bar decided to fight
back. Gays and their sympathizers barricaded
streets and burned police cars, requiring National Guard intervention. Shoup says after the
incident police ceased their random raids, and
the ''Gay Pride'' concept was born.

plains Di Witt, and as such
they are responsible to remain
drug free in every respect 24
hours a day throughout the
duration of the grant.
But De Witt also points out
a second, more general statement in the Act which is
described on the certification
form: '' ... If an individual
is convicted of certain drugrelated federal or state offenses, a court may suspend
his or her eligibility for federal
benefits, including Title IV
financial aid." This applies to
Pell Grants, Supplemental
Educational Opportunity
Grants, Perkins Loans, College Work Study, Oregon
State Need Grants, Stafford
Loans, Plus, and SLS Loans.
To meet the letter of the
law, says De Witt, a student
must sign the following statement: "I certify that my
eligibility for Title IV financial
aid is not currently suspended
or terminated under sec. 5301
of P .L. 100-690 for a conviction or convictions for drug
distribution or possession.''
She says this applies to all Title
IV Financial Aid.
According to De Witt, convictions prior to March 18,
1989 will not count in deter-

mmmg financial eligibility.
But a single conviction after
March 18 may result in
suspension of eligibility at the
discretion of the courts, and
three convictions could mean
permanent ineligibility.
For all except Pell Grants,
the college is considered the
grantee, and must bear the
responsibility of providing a
"drug free environment,"
says De Witt. This responsibility includes furnishing information on drug counseling
and drug information referrals.
But the Financial Aid
Department's enforcement
role is still unclear, she admits.
For instance, if the department finds a student to be in
violation of the certification,
would it require the student to
repay g~ant monies?
De Witt says that the Financial Aid Department is not
currently required to verify a
student's drug-free status as it
does for students' financial
statements.
Campus-Wide Requirements

According to Sandy Ing,
director of Secialized Student
Services, since the Anti-Drug
Abuse Act encompasses all
federal grant programs, and

since it is difficult to separate
federally funded employees
from those without a federal
funding source, the entire
campus will follow the drug
free guidelines.
Maintaining a "drug free
workplace" for employees
means requiring them to
notify the college of any drug
violations occuring in the
workplace, Ing said in a recent
memo to the administration.
For the college, it means a
requirement to notify all LCC
employees that they cannot
engage in illegal drug-related
activities in the work place.
The college must establish
sanctions or rehabilitation for
those who violate the law, and
must establish a drug abuse
prevention program that is accessible to any official,
employee, or student.
"I do feel it is a good thing
to have a drug free work
place," says Ing, "but it (the
Act) doesn't do anything
toward prevention.''
Aircraft Personnel
And in a related matter,
urinalysis may be required for
some people in the aircraft
maintenance program.
If students and staff are
working on aircraft parts for
planes used for flight training,

they may be required to submit to urinalysis, says Ing,
referring to Federal Aviation
Administration regulations.
But Ing says new mandatory
drug testing requirements will
probably result . in court
challenges. And the regulations raise many questions:
• Who will pay for the
testing -- the programs affected or the individuals?

• If the individuals are held
responsible for the cost of
testing and they are selected
randomly several times in a
row, should they still have to
pay the cost?
• Will tuition increase for
that particular program in
order to cover the cost of
testing?
• How will tampering be
prevented?

Masked informers hurt sports world

ag
Column
by

Paul Morgan
Don't get me wrong, but you just
can't trust anything you read in the
sports pages these days.
Professional and collegiate sports
have become bigger than life, and the
participants seem mere fictional
characters in the pages of a rag like
this. Their lives just soap operas for
the teaming millions.
The news came off the wire and
was slapped down on page one of the
Eugene Register-Guard. Seton Hall
Coach P.J. Carlessimo will take the
open head coaching job at Kentucky!
What a story, I thought as I
started to read the report. But three

paragraphs in I could tell it wasn't
going to tell me anything: the
reporter was quoting unnamed
sources.
Three weeks later Carlessimo
quelled the report by saying that he
only talked to Kentucky officials a
couple of times, and only considered
the job for about a week.
Who are these unnamed sources
anyway? Is the masked informer for
the Carlessimo story the same person
who indulged claims that Cincinnati
Reds Manager Pete Rose bet on his
own team?
Every time there is a prominent

job opening or controversy in the
sports world, it seems that reporters
will take any opinion they can get,
fact or not, and put it in print. It
doesn't matter who it comes from;
he/she will represent a source close
to the situation.
The "Deep Throat" source could,
be a secretary in the Athletic Department, a trainer from last year's team,
or how about a booster and "close
friend" of the coach. Keeping the
source unnamed means the reporter
doesn't have to track down the real
facts, and ensure the credibility of
the informer.
Sports rags all over the nation are
setting themselves up as rumor mills.
Most papers will take rumors from
the wire and print them as if the news
were truthful.
And what becomes of the people
to whom the rumors pertain? The
rumor victims must face reporters
night and day · to clarify or rebut
statements made by some unnamed
source, and it usually doesn't matter

what they say. "Deep Throat" gives
the kind of news -- dirt -- reporters
are looking for, and usually for a
price.
It is time for reporters to shine
light on these unnamed informers so
readers, and sports personalities, can
once again trust the sports rags of
America.
• To clarify a statement I made last
week.
Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder was
fired by a major network because of
a statement he made at a benefit dinner. He stated the fact that black
people were bred for physical excellence during the slavery years to
create better workers for slave
drivers. This is not the only reason
for black physical superiority, but is
one of many.
I agree the statement was-correct,
and it was unjust for the network to
fire Snyder because of its wish to
supress the truth about racism.

Titans sweep Chemeketa to join division race
by Paul Morgan
TORCH Sport s Editor

The Titan baseball team
swept the Chemeketa Community College Chiefs 3-2 and
10-7 Saturday, April 29, and
have roped together a five
game winning streak to pull into third place in the Southern

Clackamas used two Titan

That play drew a sigh of

"We're starting to hit the

She says during her interview she expressed strong opinions against teen substance
abuse.
"I've seen people get involved with drugs and start things
and never finish their goals or
things they've set out to do.
And I've seen them do things
they say they'd never do -such as, 'I'd never hurt you.'
And they do."
McKenzie participated in
her first pageant in Coos Bay
at the age of five.
Then at age 15 she entered
the Miss American Co-Ed
Beauty Pageant. She says it
was an exploitive business. "It
was a title pageant, a money
raiser for them, not a scholarship pageant.'' She had to
raise $350 through sponsors or
pay the fees herself.
After that experience she
had nearly sworn off entering
the Miss Lane County
Pageant. But Janet Fryback,
an advisor at Springfield High
School where McKenzie had
been a cheerleader, encouraged her to apply.

McKenzie chose a white and

more sparkle and "make it

sister wears it to her prom.
There are standards for the

Many see Peace Pole planted -in dedication ceremony
Monday, May 1, marked the first day of LCC's Peace On
Earth Week, which continued despite sometimes poor weather
and low student turnout.
The Peace Garden Dedication kicked off the week with short
speeches from several LCC community members and Eugene
Mayor Jeff Miller. The dedication included the planting of the
Peace Pole, which says "May Peace Prevail On Earth" in a different language on each of the four sides. The pole was donated
last year by Phi Theta Kappa and ASLCC.
The week continued with bands, food and craft vendors in the
courtyard, and several speakers. But only a handful of students
turned out. "The participation rate hasn't changed much (from
last year)," says Michael Stewart, ASLCC communications
director.
"I know some of the vendors are not very happy, and I can
empathize with that,'' says Stewart. But he says that LCC has a
lower population than, for instance, the U of 0, and he adds,
"I'm not sure that three-fourths of the way through the term
LCC students have a lot of money."
Phi Theta Kappa Pres. Bette Dorris, ASLCC Pres. John Millet, Eugene Mayor Jeff Miller, and
LCC Interim Pres. Jack Carter planted the Peace Pole at the Peace Garden Dedication on May 1.

Stewart hopes that the last days of Peace Week will be more
successful.

Denali grand finale planned
by Andy Dunn
TORCH Entertainment Editor

STUDENT RRT SHOW

Art Department Gallery display
Deadline for submission of LCC student art is Friday, May 12. The submissions will
be juried on May 13 and selected works will be displayed May 15 - June 2. For information and applications contact the Art Department at 747-4501, extension 2409.
-■---••········•J'a-.•,l'a■J',J'a••·············••,/'a...a■••■·•·•·••.-.-.,l

A benefit dinner with poetry readings, two original play performances, and a dance performance will be held in the LCC
cafeteria Wednesday, May 24, from 5 - 7:30 p.m.
The show is open to everyone and cost for the dinner will be
on a sliding scale of $7 - $10 per person with proceeds going to
the Denali, LCC's Arts and Literary Magazine.
"I don't think we've ever sponsored such a diverse performance before," says Denali editor Michael Omogrosso.
This is the second Denali-sponsored poetry reading this school
year. Omogrosso says these shows are good for maintaining
visibility in the community and "extending our function beyond
the written word.''
The show will feature readings by Sheila Juba, Peter Jensen,
Frank Rossini, Joyce Salisbury, and Ken Zimmerman. LCC
students scheduled to read include Les Inwood and Michael
Samano. Community members who will read include Bjo
Ashwell, Gwenith Van Frank, Maria Rosa, and Brenda Shaw.
Each poet will read two works.
An original play, Radio Ray Fan Club, by LCC instructor and
succesful playwright Dorothy Velasco will be presented, as will a
work to be selected from LCC's Advanced Playwrighting class.
Barbara Moreseth and Jacquie McClure will perform in the
Velasco play.
The dance will be presented by LCC students and community
dancers under the direction of Mary Seereiter, LCC dance instructor.
The Culinary Arts Program will provide the buffet dinner and
tables will be set in the north end of the cafeteria, near the
wooden platform stage.
Omogrosso asks that reservations be made in advance (by
Tuesday, May 16) by calling the English Department at
747-4501, extension 2419. The admission price can be paid by
cash or check in the cafeteria before the performance.

'Stop The World' shows the best in community theatre
by Andy Dunn
TORCH Entertainment Editor

The Main Stage Theatre
production of Stop The
World - I Want to Get Off is
well performed, thought provoking, and entertaining -well worth the $8 admission
price.
This musical comedy, a
critical and popular hit in the
1960s, holds up well in the 80s.
One reason for the success is
certainly the very competent
handling by LCC's theatre
company.
The basic circular set and
staircase, the performers' circus style costumes and partial
mime makeup, the seemingly
loose and easy choreography,
the lack of emphasis on
props -- all of this meshes well
with the simple yet ambitious
storyline.
The plot is nothing less than
life -- one life, that of Littlechap (played by Seattle actor David Silverman). From
birth to work, marriage,
children, worldly success,

philosophical m1sg1vmgs, old
age, and death, we see an empathic/humorous view of
the pettiness and absurdity of
modern existence.
The ease with which Littlechap achieves his success
may be indicative of a dated
attitude (that of the 1962 postwar
expansive
world
economy), but the rest of the
play seems nearly eternal in its
message and observations of
life.
Silverman performs well,
comfortably and convincingly
giving us the pratical British
male of the less than upper
middle classes.
His voice when singing these
familiar classics (such as "I
Wanna Be Rich," "Gonna
Build a Mountain," and
"What Kind of Fool Am I")
may not equal the material,
but he gives a more than adequate showing.
His acting, finely tuned
through years of training in
improvisational theatre, is the
cohesive element that meets all

of the diverse demands of the
show.
Lori Galbraith, a freshman
theatre student at LCC, has
improved tremendously since
her role in the Main Stage
Biloxi Blues. She gives a
wonderful performance in the
diverse roles as wife, Evie, and
mistresses Anya and Ginny.
She must act in roles and
sing songs as the ''Typically
English" girl, the "Glorious
Russian" worker, and the
"All American" cabaret
singer. She pulls this off
beautifully with impressive acting and even better singing.
The other performers have
multiple roles, providing
background and atmosphere
to the play. They show the
great flexibility needed for this
production to work. Jami
Teran and Katy Derby as the
daughters give wonderful performances, as do chorus
members Ben Caudle, Robert
Harrison, Wendy Hunter,
Kathleen Meehan, Stacy Proud, Tiese Roberson, Michael
D. Sorenson, and Troy
Williams.
From streetwalking in New
York to assemblyline production in industrial England,
there are no weak spots in this
production.
Bassoonist Kevin Mccornack (Charleen Decker plays
in the later performances)
deserves special credit for a
creative performance as the
voice of authority. Speaking
only slightly less comprehensibly than Littlechap in his
"Mumbo Jumbo" political
mode, Mccornack and Decker
play the part well.

led by Nathan Cammack,

upbeat style of music with integrity and skill, although the
score itself may seem at times
slightly stylistically dated.
Director Jerry Seifert has
brought together a tightly
wound, well rounded show.
Choreography by Mary
Seereiter, costumes by
Kathryn Linn, scenic and
lighting design by James McCarty, technical direction by
Skip Hubbard, and the many

other behind the scenes people
that made this play happen all
deserve praise for a show that
reveals a lot about life, and
also a lot about how much
community college theatre can
achieve.
The final performances of
Stop The World - I Want to
Get Off play on May 5 and 6
at 8 p.m. Tickets are available
at the LCC box office and
Marketplace Books in the
Fifth Street Public Market.
