Getting involved with children touted as best defense
by Michael Omogrosso
Torch Editor

While the Parents' Rally Against
Substance Abuse at Mac Court on Oct. 3
did not draw the packed house
organizers had hoped for, the crowd was,
on the whole, receptive to the major
thrust of the presentation: Community
involvement is the key to beginning effective drug abuse prevention.
According to Mike Meyer,
drug/ alcohol intervention specialist for
Willamette High School, 20 years of
substance abuse prevention activities
have not realized the intended goal;
stopping abuse.
"We have lost," said Meyer, referring
to attempts by organizations to curtail
the growing drug crisis. He placed the
burden of not winning the battle on the
lapse of individuals.
''The missing link is with the people
sitting in this room," said Meyer, indicating participation will turn the tide.
Sheldon High School's Student
Assistance Program Counselor Paul
Palazzolo confirmed that even after
millions of dollars are spent to have the
military crack down on South American
cocaine cartels, cocaine would still be

available on the streets.
''I have addressed many parents'
groups in Eugene and told them studies
indicate that 80 percent of the area kids
have tried drugs,'' said Palazzolo.
"Their overwhelming response is, 'It's
not my kid.' "
While not the main attraction, Palazzolo fired the crowd to a resounding applause with his impassioned proclamation: "Youth are the hope of the future.
But, families are the hope of the youth.''
Applause also filled Mac Court several
times for the polished delivery of
Eugene's favorite son, Oregon Attorney
General Dave Frohnmayer.
"We, as parents, must be pushers,
pushers of activities with our children,''
said Frohnmayer, describing how the
drug problem can be confronted.
And Lane County District Attorney
Doug Harcleroad reassured the audience
that while substance abuse and the
presence of L.A. gang members in the
area are problems the county is addressing, "So far, we have seen no crack cocaine, and have had no drive-by gang
shootings. ' '

there are no bad kids, and appearance is
not indicative of being a user.
Those present attended the rally for a
variety of reasons.
Mike Groshong, general manager of
radio stations KSND / KEED was there
staffing one of the many information
tables; his promoting a T-shirt designing
contest his stations are sponsoring.
"It's part of our way to give
something back to the community,'' he
said.

Caring at the center ofstudent health

Services Sandra Ing

Torch Staff Writer

Students sometimes overlook
one of the most important
aspects of learning: their health.
If the body is ignored it soon
lets the student know.
But there's no need for LCC
students to ignore aches, pains,
and illnesses. Their tuition includes access to LCC Student
Health Services, located on the
first floor of the Center
Building.
The main function of Student Health is to be there for
students when they are feeling
ill, or when they believe they

might have a physical problem.
The facilities are equipped
with cot rooms, so patients can
lie down if they have the need,
and ice packs for swollen or
broken bones.
As director of Specialized
Student Services, Sandra Ing
oversees Student Health, the
Women's Program, and Disabled Student Services. She also
supervises the new Substance
Abuse Counseling Program
soon to be established at Lane.
But dedicated as she is to all
her varied duties, Ing's heart is
strongly bound to Student
Health.
"Student Health is an excellent program with good
quality medical care,'' says Ing,
herself a registered nurse.
Student Health is open to
students Monday through
Thursday from 8 a.m. to 12:30
p.m., and 1:30 to 3 p.m. Friday's hours are 10 a.m. to 12:30
p.m., and 1:30 to 3 p.m.
(Note: the times listed in the
orientation issue of the Torch
for Student Health Services are
incorrect).
Among the staff at Student
Health are two nurse practitioners, one full-time nurse,
four different doctors (who take
turns working different times
and shifts). There is also a parttime medical technician who
does lab work.

' 'The staff are professionals,
and the nurses have at least ten
years experience,'' says Ing.
' 'There is no one working here
that I would not want my own
family to see. ''
A variety of birth control for
both men and women is
available at a low cost either at
the office or by prescription.
Condoms are occasionally given
away for free as well.
Pregnancy tests can be
performed for just $5. 00, and
students can usually expect
results in about two hours.
' 'Women can also get a complete annual for $22, which is
less expensive than most
clinics, " says Ing.
An average of about 70
students a day visit Student
Health on a walk-in basis. Most
services are free, and if need be,
medications can be prescribed.
Once you have been seen at
Student Health, a file is made
and kept in the office for your
convenience. All records are
confidential, and can only be
released upon the student's request, or when a court order is
delivered.
Brochures and other reading
materials are available in the office, and questions can be
answered upon request.
Students are encouraged to take
advantage of this exceptional
service.

LCC student August Winston was just
curious, but thinks enforcement
priorities are wrong.
''They should legalize marijuana, tax
it," he said, "and spend the extra
money to get rid of the really bad stuff -crack and cocaine. ''
"I came to the rally because I have
three children,'' said area resident Linda
Montgomery. ''I'm going to take a stand
(against substance abuse) to show my
children I care. ' '

Department post juggled
by Paul Morgan
Torch Sports Editor

Just one week after he accepted the job as Health and
Physical Education Department Head, Physical Education
Instructor Harland Yriarte handed in his resignation Sept.
28.

Bob Creed, also a P.E. instructor, accepted the job on Oct.
4.
Yriarte had learned that the college could not meet a
stipulation in his letter of application and decided to resign,
he told the Torch this week.
The position was left vacant last June when Fred Loveys
resigned. Bob Radcliffe served as acting department head
over the summer, but he and others applying for the one year
post rejected it for personal and financial reasons.
The search for a replacement apparently ended when
Yriarte was hired on an interim basis Sept. 22, but a Board of
Education policy inhibitted a stipulation in his letter of application.
Yriarte, who has been teaching at LCC since 1981,
stipulated that Jan Yriarte, secretary in the department and
his wife of three years, be retained as department secretary.
The stipulation was made to counter-act the board policy,
which states that no administrator can supervise a relative or
spouse.
Yriarte explains that he was told the stipulation could be
''worked out,'' and was offered the job in good faith by Vice
President of Instruction Jackie Belcher.
So Yriarte hired part-time instrucors to take the classes he
was to have taught this fall. But he says a day later Belcher
told him that Jan Yriarte would have to be transfered to
another department. He subsequently handed in his resignation.
Creed, who was on a three-person committee selected by
the Health and P.E. staff last year as possible candidates for
the job, accepted the job Oct. 4. He has been an LCC instructor for 2 2 years.
Now, because the part-time instructors are already in place,

Compassion is the uliimate first step to end substance abuse ,
by Michael Omogrosso

understanding instead of coer-

Torch Editor

e1on.

A few years ago while visiting
my parents, Dad said, "The
Lions are trying to start some
drug education programs in the
schools.''
My soul leapt with hope,
hope that finally society was
beginning to look at its problems as correctable through

Then, in the middle of the
Parents Against Substance
Abuse Rally (see story on page
one), I heard Willamette High' s
Drug I Alcohol Intervention
Specialist Mike Meyer say drug
abuse education programs
haven't worked. In fact, he cites
studies as showing an increase in
drug use.

My hope for a society of compassion was shattered. If education didn't work, then was a Big
Brotherish police state the only
choice that remained?
That sole thought shocked a
defiant ''No!'' to resound in
my mind and I began to realize
that what he said was a
generalized statement drawn
from a specific study.

And this question came to
mind: If drug abuse is on the
rise anyway, is the increased
drug use that followed the
education programs because of
those programs or representative of the overall trend?
Mr. Meyer, I ask you to look
around you one day at work.
Are you employed in a system
of education? Is it working?
I'm quite sure your response

will be affirmative on both
counts. The system does work,
albeit a little slower than it
could.
Substance abuse education is
one key, and well funded
education makes the key turn so
much better.
But, by itself, education cannot stop the rise of substance
abuse. It will also take our compassion.

Taking a Stand: Religous persecution contl"nues in the land ofthefree
Forum by Bob Parker
LCC student

I recently had the honor of attending a Native American Church
peyote meeting.
A prayer celebration observing the
first year of life for a little girl, it took
place in a tepee.
It began with each participant rolling ceremonial tobacco in a corn husk
and smoking it while saying a prayer.
Non-smokers were told that it was
. alright to simply puff on the tobacco.
I puffed.
Eventually the medicine (peyote)
went around the circle. Peyote is a
cactus found in Southwestern Texas,
parts of New Mexico, in the Sonora
Desert of Northeastern Mexico.
its effects are
Generally,
hallucinogenic. It gives a user increased stamina.
In the tepee, people were told to
take whatever amount they felt was
appropriate. Some took large
amounts, others took hardly any at
all. One pregnant woman simply took
a small amount and rubbed it on her
belly to bless the baby.
During most of the all-night affair
people around the circle took turns
singing peyote songs, most of which
were sung in Native American
languages although many were sung

in English as well.
The songs, actually prayers, were
dedicated to God, the human race,
the people sitting in the circle, and
the little girl for whom the ceremony
was held in honor of her first birthday. A couple of the songs even paid
homage to Jesus Christ.
The meeting began about an hour
after sunset and, except for a brief
' 'intermission'' sometime after midnight, no one was allowed to leave the
tepee. We were told at the outset of
the ceremony that we were making a
commitment to sit up all night and
pray.
When the meeting ended, around
9 in the morning, we all went outside
and greeted one another with hugs
and handshakes. When we began
many of us were strangers to one
another. But we had just spent a
night together feeling a love and a
power that went far beyond anything .
I experienced in my many years of
adherence to born-again Christian
doctrine.
There are some people in America
who are determined to make this
, centuries-old ceremony illegal. To
these misguided people, peyote -- no
matter how it is used -- is just another
drug like crack or heroin. The ' 'war
on drugs'' hysteria of the last few

years has rendered them incapable of
seeing this issue in any shades other
than black and white.
Any compassionate person should
be able to see the injustice in all of
this. Unfortunately, compassion
hasn't played much of a role in the
government's historic dealings with
the rightful inhabitants of the stolen
land. Our treatment of these gentle,
trusting people has earned us a place
in history -- right along side Hitler's
Germany, Stalin's Russia, and Pol
Pot's Cambodia.
The U.S. Army is no longer gunning down defenseless women and
children as they did in the last century. But make no mistake about it -the genocide of the Native American
people is still going on. The emphasis
has simply switched from out-and-out
physical death to the less conspicuous
extermination of the spirit.
It is not my intention here to suggest that white Americans fly into an
orgy of guilt over our unjust treatment of Indian people. But we can no
longer deny that along with the many
great moments in our history there are
also some very shameful moments
that we as a society have yet to
acknowledge.
Almost everything the Indians had

500 years ago has been brutally stolen
from them. Not content to steal their
land, kill their buffalo, and rob them
of their human dignity, we are now
.
going after their collective soul.
It would be useful to point out here
that not everyone who uses peyote in
a ritual way does it simply by ingesting it. Many people .simply put a
little of the medicine in a small bowl
and place it on a windowsill so that
Grandfather Peyote will bless their
home. Still, to the "just say no"
fanatics such people are heinous dope
fiends.
If the anti-freedom zealots are successful in their campaign against
peyote, who knows where they'll
strike next. Perhaps they will target
the use of sacramental wine in the
Christian church. After all, alcohol
abuse is America's number one drug
problem.
For now, we as a nation might do
well to remember the following words
from Thomas Jefferson: ''I tremble
for my countrymen when I reflect that
God is just.''
Editor's Note: Currently the use of peyote in
the Native American Church is legal nationally.
On Nov. 6, of this year, the U.S . Supreme
Court will review an Oregon case in which the
use of peyote in relegious ceremony was affirmed to be legal but petitioned by Oregon attorney General Dave Frohnmayer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

You are a wonderful group of
people with whom it has been a
pleasure to be associated for the
past 16 years. You have not just
been colleagues, but instead,
have become friends.

staff, co-workers -- we can only
say: Thanks, thanks, thanks

Theology an art
To the Editor:
For nearly 1200 years
theology was called ' ' Queen of
Sciences". This description suggests the application of early
wit. Humans always prized a
sense of humor.
Theology is a word formed
from the Greek words ''theos' '
(God) and "logos" (word).
Hence theology is the study of
the "word of God"or "holy
scripture''. The word ''science' '
comes from the Latin word
''scientia' '(knowledge).
The Queen is the consort of
the King. Kings represent
power and wealth. Thus,
theologians are the consorts of
those who wield power and
wealth. They exploit their
''knowledge'' and skills for
their own benefit as well as the
benefit of the masters of power
and wealth they serve. Working
people should seriously consider
that association.

:. ' The Torch

The theist concept ''God' ' is
a human, fictional construction.
"God" is no more real than
''Superman'' or ''Batman'' and
similarly, accomodates infantile
imaginations.
Theology is an art, not a
science. The dominance theist
religious leaders succeeded in
foisting on masses of ignorant
people suggests theologians' intellectual and social value lies

somewhere between that of an
expert on the writings of
Shakespeare and that of a used
car lot's fastest talking
salesman.
China achieved a high
civilization and its people lived
morally and ethically for 2,500
years under Atheist Confucianism. The Golden Rule ' 'Do not unto others that which
you would not have them do
unto you", advocated by Con-

fucious (ca 500 BC) is the foundation for peaceful, progressive
society.
Confucious said: "Never
have anything to do with those
who pretend to have dealings
with the supernatural. If you
allow supernaturalism to get a
foothold in your country the
result will be a dreadful calamity.,,

Ambassadors promote Lane to prospective students
by Brenda Blumhagen
Torch Staff Wn.ter

Something new is beginning
this year, the LCC High School
Ambassador Program.
According to the Director of
High School Relations, Shan
Titus, ''Student ambassadors
(LCC students) are close to high
school age and identify with
high school students, and vice
versa.''
And she says they, therefore ,
can better reach out and inform
a greater number of high school
students of the opportunities
available at LCC.
The program is funded
through a grant from the LCC
Foundation's Eldon G. Schafer
Endowment for Innovation.
Schafer was President of LCC
from 1970 to 1985 .
Titus hired two LCC
students, Jenna Eversole and
Melissa Leist, to acquaint high
school students with the programs, services, and advantages
of LCC from their personal experiences.
According to Titus, ''Those
who speak from personal experience make the best sales
people.''
Throughout the year these
student ambassadors will be
leading campus tours, calling
potential LCC students and
sending them information on
college programs.
The influence of the two student representatives will be felt

most strongly in their visits to
25 local high schools. Their
presentation will combine professional marketing techniques ,
such as slides and other audiovisual aides along with a questi on an d answer peri od
facilitated by the two students.
With the ambassadors, Titus
hopes to " provide high school
students with good LCC role
models. ''
She says she chose these
students because they understand what new students are
looking for in a college, not only academically but socially, as
well.
In these personal appearances
the ambassadors stress the many
advantages of LCC, says Titus -for instance, that the smaller
classes and hence increased personal attention at Lane can
often result in a greater
understanding of the material
and a higher GP A than one
could achieve m a four-year
university.
"The instructors are interested in the students personal
lives and treat them as real people,'' say Titus.
By stressing these points as
well as the financial advantages,
the ambassadors present Lane as
a college that provides an excellent academic base.
According to Titus, "an
education here may serve as a
springboard to a four-year
university or to a career from

Relations staff Shan Titus and T. Lynn Farbe recruit LCC's future alumni.
one of the many technical programs Lane offers."
Titus says she hopes the ambassador program will help to
change LCC 's negative image as
a "last chance" college, and attract students who are considering attending a four-year
university.
''Many successful high school
students feel obligated to attend a four-year university right
away,'' says Titus, drawing
from her experience talking
with students.
A recent graduate of South
Eugene High, Eversole takes a
particular interest in helping

students resolve senior anxiety.
She says like many students, she
too felt pressured to attend a
four-year university directly
after high school, but instead
came to LCC.
Eversole says she initially
chose to attend LCC for
monetary reasons. After a
while, however, she realized
that Lane had much more to offer than low cost education.
''I'm excited about informing others about the benefits of
attending LCC,'' she says.
The ambassador program not
only benefits the high school
students and LCC, but the ambassadors themselves learn from

the experience.
Leist, a political science major
who will attend the University
of Oregon next fall, says ''I like
working with younger people
and it sharpens my communication skills." She hopes this experience will help her in her
planned future as a lawyer.
Titus says that as a public
relations team, she, the two student ambassadors, and tour
guide T. Lynn Farber intend to
•improve the image · of LCC
among high school students and
help those students make an
educated decision about their
future.

Development.Center provides child care options
by Megan Guske
Torch Staff Writer

With the increasing number
of student parents starting or
returning to school, ''Child care
is certainly the issue that we all
need to address,'' states
Georgia Fryback director of the
LCC Child Development
Center.
Finding safe child care for
pre-school and infant children is
a priority many students face.
The first step for students in
finding safe child care is often
the Child Development Center.
Located in the lower part of
the Health and Physical Education Building, the program
operates two centers -- an infant
and toddler center and a preschool -- serving children from
six weeks to five years. People
eligible to receive child care
from LCC include students,
staff and faculty, and families
who live and work in the community.
However, children of LCC
students have first pnonty,
assures Director Georgia
Fryback.
The center is regulated by the
state which limits enrollment.
Under state regulations the preschool can accomodate a maximum of 30 children at one
time. The infant and toddler
•center is allowed a maximum of
24 children (12 infants and 12
toddlers) . Schedules, however,
are broken down into morning,
afternoon, and full day sections.
''Depending on parents'

schedules, sometimes we can
have a total of 46 children,"
says Fry back. ''It is a real
scheduling trick.''
The Child Development
Center is open from 7:30 a.m.
to 5 p.m. to accomodate the
various itineraries of parents.
During the day the children are
offered breakfast, •lunch and
two snacks. They are also involved in various games and exercises.
'' All of our staff have degrees
in Early Childhood Education.
They have been trained in
developmental techniques so

that we can offer the children
developmentally appropriate
activities,'' explained Fryback.
''The children participate in
various exploratory activities
and are involved in a more
structured morning schedule.
"One of the very most important services we provide is a
safe place for children,'' stresses
Fryback.
Along with serving the needs
of students' children, the center
provides an Early Childhood
Education Program where LCC
students can earn a two year
associate degree in Early

Students warned:
textbook thefts on rise
by Devan Wilson
Torch News Editor

Textbook theft is a problem
at LCC, and students need to
be aware of it, says Georgia
Henrickson, manager of the
LCC Bookstore.
Henrickson says that books
from the LCC bookstore have
recently been resold at the
Smith Family Bookstore and
the University of Oregon
Bookstore. People selling the
books were willing to accept a
fraction of the retail value, indicating that the books were
most likely stolen, either from
students or from the LCC
Bookstore.

Childhood Education, with the
option of training to be a professional nanny.
The center also provides jobs
for people in the community.
The organization has nine fulltime, certified staff members in
addition to a full-time cook,
teaching associate, and threequarter time clerk.
The center fills its classes on a
strict first-come, first-served
basis, and is currently filled to
capacity. But if parents are too
late in applying at LCC, there
are alternatives elsewhere in the
community.

Literary magazine to celebrate 20 years
by Megan Guske
Torch Staff Writer

Denali, LCC's student
literary-an magazine, will join
the college's 25th anniversary
celebration with special
retrospective sections within this
year's publications.
However, due to a shortage of
funding, the magazine must
•resort to fundraising to finance
its three 1989-90 issues.
"We are critically underfunded ,' ' explains Editor Della
Lee, who believes that the
10-year old budget should be
updated . She also points out
that the ASLCC may not be
able to subsidize the operations
as it did last year.
Lee notes the importance of
Denali: It provides "a voice for
student artists ' impressions of
life," and an educational tool
for LCC students.
Denali, which originated 20
years ago as the Concrete Statement, will coordinate activities
as a combination of fundraising
and celebration. Lee, however,
downplays the need to raise

countered difficulty in contacting them.
Throughout the year the
magazine will celebrate regularly. The first scheduled event
will be ''Denali Night'' on Oct.
11, at 8 p.m. The evening,
featuring foo1, music, an, and
poetry, will be held at MacMillan's West Side Cafe, at 7 20

Dear Dr. Decorum:
I feel like I'm falling behind
already. I think it's because my
study skills could use some improvement. What can I do?
Tomeco Sakamoto
Dear Tomeco:
There are no less than 15
''study tip'' sheets available
near the elevator on the second
floor of the Center Building at
the Assessment and Testing Office. These tips, prepared by
LCC's testing specialist, Dr.
Dan Hodges, are also available
at the Study Skills Center on the
founh floor of the Center
Building. If you can't find
them, please ask someone.
But I notice one study tip has
been omitted.
Listening to music can cover
other distracting noises while
studying. Keep in mind, this
music should not be played
loud enough to be a distraction
itself. Playing Guns and Roses'
new album at 105 decibels can
drown out any distracting noise
up to a passenger train passing
10 feet away, but it will disrupt
your studies, damage your hearing, and probably rattle the fillings right out of your teeth. ·

Dear Dr. Decorum:
I take the bus to school every
day. My problem occurs when
one of my classes runs beyond
the allotted time, because I
usually miss my bus, and I'm I
late getting back to my kids.
What should I do?
•.
Ralph Cramden
Dear Ralph:
You could hire a band of
mercenaries to surgically extricate you at the precise second
at which class ends.
You could release laughing
gas at the end of class and slip
away while everyone else is
laughing till their face hurts.
Or, you could tell your instructor you' 11 have to leave on
time to catch the bus, and I'm
sure he/ she will understand
completely. Be sure to get any
assignments and notes you
might miss.
Dr.D
