Red ink stains '89 -'90
by Coleen Ebert

L

Torch Staff wn·ter

As the ASLCC launches its 1989-90 programs, it must also
bear an over-expenditure of $14,983 from last year's activities.
"Last year's revenues amounted to $114,062, while expenditures reached $129,045," reports Ivan Frishberg, current
ASLCC treasurer. Although this is an undesirable situation,
the cash carry-over fund, built into the student government's
budget, will erase the red ink.

Charter Board Members Ken Schmidt, Olga Freeman, Cliff Matson, and Lyle Swetland attended a
ceremony at the Oct. 11 LCC Board of Education meeting in honor of the 25th anniversary of the signing of the bonds establishing LCC.

Board celebrates LCC anniversary
by Devan Wilson
Torch News Editor

Birthday cake, reminiscences
by four of the seven original
board members, and a
telephone message from the
first president of LCC kicked off
the Oct. 11, LCC Board of
Education meeting.
The celebration was in coordination with the 25th anniversary of the date the bonds
establishing LCC were signed,
Oct. 19, 1964.
In attendance were Charter

Board Members Kenneth
Schmidt, who served on the
board from 1964 to 1965, Olga
Freeman, 1964-1967, Lyle
Swetland, 1964-1969, and Cliff
Matson, 1964-1971.
Also in attendance were seven
Charter Faculty Members: Buck
Bailey, Delpha Daggett, German Ellsworth, Allan Gubrud,
Cecil Hodges, Robert Marshall,
and Bert Dotson.
Dotson, the first employee
hired by LCC, was invited to cut
the celebratory birthday cake.

president and current president
of the American Association of
Community Colleges, addressed those in attendance via
telephone from Washington
D.C.
Parnell commended the
original Board of Education for
their ' 'great vision'' and added
that as it did 25 years ago,
''LCC stands as a beacon of opportunity. ''
In other business, the board
announced seven semi-finalists
for the position of LCC's president. These finalists are: Martha
Bazik, acting president,
Chicago City-Wide College;
Gerard Berger, vice president of
academic services, Chemeketa
CC; James Davis, president,
Royal Oak and Southfield campuses, Oakland CC, Bloomfield
Hills, Midi.; Jimmie Downing,
president, Barton CC, Great
Bend, Kan.; Jerry Moskus, vice
president of educational services, Des Moines Area CC, Des
Moines, . Iowa; Raymond
Needham, president, Guilford
Technical CC, Jamestown,
N.C.; A. LeRoy Strausner, vice
president for support services,
dean of students, Casper College, Casper Wyo.
ASLCC President Andy Harris announced to the board that
Yolanda King, daughter of
Martin Luther King Jr., will
speak at the Martin Luther King
Celebration in January.
The board also adopted a
four-year college plan, and
presented Greg Horpole of the
Business Department with the
''Innovator of the Year'' award,
sponsered by the League for Innovation.

While past senators agree that last year's student government was active and effective, they acknowledge troubles
with the budgeting process.
''The Student Senate members were kept in the dark about
finances,'' says the current ASLCC President Andy Harris,
who last year served as a student senator. Executive Cabinet
members did not share information about the status of
ASLCC's finances with senate members, say Bette Dorris and
Lynn Johanna-Larsen, also senators from last year.
However, 1988-1989 ASLCC President John Millet,
counter, saying, ''Budget reports were given to the senators at
monthly meetings. Whether they took note of them or not is
another thing. ''
Last April, Jay
Jo e , director of
Student Activities,
issued a ''caution
• flag'' memo to the
executive members
and senators stating
that the amount remaining in the cash
carry-over fund was
$23,000. "I do not
recommend further
transfers from that
fund," wrote Jones. "Should you choose to do so, I will
reduce the 1989-90 budget to the extent necessary so we do
not start in deficit next year.''
But the expenditures did continue, Jones said this week.
"Although they did not go into deficit, (expenditures) were
much greater than originally budgeted.''
In an interview this week, Millet said the budget he was
given was unrealistic, that it had been "stripped" from the
previous year. The revenue from student fees could not cover
what the 1988-89 student government wanted to accomplish,
Millet said.
The Problem

As Harris and Frishberg see it, last year's government spent
money on a proposal-by-proposal basis, with no long-term
planning.
''People would come to us with very good causes and we
would spend money with very little discretion. There was no
real budgeting process,'' reflects Harris_
Dorris , a returning senator, says that last year's government
made mistakes that this government will have to pay for. "It
was due to a lack of experience and the inability of the Executive Cabinet to keep senators adequately informed.''
And Larsen adds that ASLCC 's elected treasurer, Serene
Spiker, resigned early in the year, so that "in winter term the
new treasurer, Lisa Maniatis, inherited financial books which
were not kept up. It took her until the end of spring term to
bring them up to date.''
MLK Celebration
The greatest single 1988-89 expenditure was the ASLCC
co-sponsored Martin Luther King Celebration at Eugene's
Hult Center, costing over $13,000. Last year's keynote
speaker was Martin Luther King III.
''Last year there was no budgeting involved in that program from the (ASLCC) cultural department, nor from
ASLCC as a whole," says Harris.

Take action: help society
by Michael Omogrosso
Torch Editor

I pick up a newspaper or turn on the
TV or radio news and in moments the
myriad events of the world unfold:
China quelling student demonstrations
for democracy; Soviet workers striking
for better working conditions; forestry
advocates posturing to sway public opinion; and new questions on the quality
of education in a nation which prides
itself on being number one. Commentators and editors analyze these news
items and their social and ecological impact for "We, the people."
With the increased speed of our communications networks and the increased
size of the human race in general, this
planet is "shrinking."
No longer can individuals or nations
act as independent agents with little
regard for the person or country just to
the left (or right) of them.
We must accept the responsibility of
global citizenship now. Tomorrow will
be too late.
To act in a responsible fashion, we
must do several things:
• Be informed about current
development in our local, national~ and

world communities. We can accomplish
this in a general way by following the
electronic media, but more indepth information is available from the print
media (a diverse selection of sources is
essential either way).
• Share information through discussion with others, especially those whose
views differ from ours. Discussing ideas
with people of a differing opinion is like
tossing freshly harvested grain in the
wind, the chaff is separated, leaving
solid building blocks for your argument.
• Take action by participating in society. Be a joiner. Groups like the Elks or
Sister City programs or more liberal
organizations such as Amnesty International or Greenpeace. On campus, clubs
can be the first step in becoming a
joiner. Attending functions like the
Multi-Cultural Coffee Hour, 'Denali
Night' or the student government
meetings each Monday afternoon also
qualify as becoming involved in the
world around us.
We may bring no immediate world
peace by joining Beyond War, solve no
community problems in one meeting or
change no school policy by talking to a
friend, but our efforts, collectively, will
build a ladder to a better world.

Make a college plan now
by Michael Omogrosso
Torch Editor

The other day friends, counselors and fellow Torchies refrained from dumping cold water on me -- I was walking about in a mindless state of shock. The
reason: I just learned my three previous years of full-time studies at Lane (124
credits) has been like treading water. I still need 21 classes or about five more
terms to receive an associate degree and be a prime ''block transfer'' candidate to the University of Oregon.
A shift in emphasis from the technically oriented Broadcast /Visual Design
program to a journalism major caused my credit discrepancy. However, poor
goal setting and consequential planning is at the root of my misfortune.
Sure I talked to counselors at the outset of my college career, but I failed to
avail myself of their services when I began to feel a change of direction.
And when I finally did approach them, I already had the answers and only
sought their approval. The counselor's responses were not what I wanted to
hear, so I walked away in ignorance.
It is difficult to admit error, and to do so publicly is twice as hard. If,
though, you can avoid a similar dilema, gladly do so.
Talk to your counselors with an open mind, as they don't get paid more to
steer you astray. Also take advantage of every oppurtunity to learn more about
your program, and if transferring to a four-year college, learn more about that
institution.
One such opportunity for U of O and OSU transfer students will occur on
campus this Wednesday, Oct. 18, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the cafeteria.
A represenative from the U of O will review transcripts to determine
transferablilty of courses from LCC and other institutions, and discuss admission requirements.
OSU department and admissions representatives will also discuss major requirements and answer questions.
Other information sessions are scheduled for November. Specific information is availible at the Counseling Desk, second floor, Center Building.
I'll be at the front of the line this Wednesday. Will you?

Taking a Stand: Is 'war on drugs' worth loss of our communists.
Once he worked

by Bob Parker

Torch Staff Wn.ter

Well, America has gone to
war again. We' re not picking
off pajama-dad peasants in
Vietnam or Cuban construction
workers in Grenada. The
enemies in this war are
Americans -· or more specifically Americans who use and sell
illegal drugs.
A drug-free America is certainly a laudable goal. A stroll
through almost any city will
give you more than a glimpse of
the crippling effect drugs are
having on our society.
But in our zeal to rid society
of this scourge, could we be
making sacrifices which won't
be apparent until it's too late?
A recent poll by CBS news

found that over half of those
surveyed were willing to give up
some civil liberties and constitutional rights in order to combat
the drug problem. The very
concept of due process of the
law is under attack and millions
of Americans are rallying in
support.

Currently there is an interesting court case going on in
Oklahoma. A county sheriff
and one of his deputies have
been brought up on conspiracy
charges. They are accused of
plotting to cross state lines into
Texas, kidnap a ''suspected' '
drug dealer, and take him back
to Oklahoma to torture a confession out of him. However,
Texas authorities have said they
had no knowledge or suspicion
that the "suspect" is a drug
dealer.

Have we reached a point
where it is all right for police officers to violate the laws they are
sworn to up hold? Apparently a
number of Oklahoma residents
think so. Thousands have
rallied in support of the two officers. The attitude of these
people seems to be that even if
the charges are true the sheriff
and his deputy were doing what
was necessary to protect the
public.
Has society reached a point
where we fear drugs more than
we fear losing the rights we
claim to cherish?
It isn't my intention to elicit
sympathy for drug dealers. People who sell cocaine, whether
for personal profit or to raise
funds for Contra terrorism, are
scum and deserve to do hard

time. But, we don't seem to be
asking what price we may pay in
the future for law and order today.
One of the occasional
drawbacks of our legal system is
that once a legal precedent is
established in one area of our
lives, it can easily spill over into
other areas. If we waive due process for drug dealers, it may set
the stage for similar treatment
of other ' 'undesirables. ' ' Keep
in mind that in the last ten years
the U.S. government, with the
cooperation of corporate media,
has mastered the art of making
a villain out of just about
anyone it chooses. Virtually
every person on Nixon's
enemies list was an American.
History should teach us.
Hitler started with easy-target
criminals, pornographers, and

up · public fervor against these
people, it was a simple matter
to transfer the people's emoother
toward
tions
' 'undesirables. ''
We find great comfon in the
belief that such things can't
happen here. A common
thought among those waiting in
line to be gassed at Belsen was,
"This can't happen here."
In giving up our rights to due
process of law, are we creating a
foothold for police state tyranny? Would the people who support police torture of drug
suspects be so supportive if it
were their rights being violated?
Is law and order without
justice a worthy aspiration for a
country that claims the
greatness that we do?

He takes out his mirror, puts

from a plastic bag. He uses his

Setting the razor blade down,

he thinks of his upcoming test.
Then, setting the rolled bill at

Culture shock mellows LA native
Retu111s to school in quiet, relaxed enviroment
by Brenda Blumhagen
TORCH Staff Wn"ter

Fall brings change. Children return to
school. Proud parents heave a sigh of relief and
whip out the video-recorder to immortalize the
infamous wave of good-bye as children embark
on another school year.
This year at LCC, some students will be going to college for the first time. Some people,
like me, are perpetual students. My folks
retired the video-recorder years ago. I suggest
weaning parents slowly at first and as early as
possible in order to avoid shock and any public
tantrums, a handy tip from the voice of experience. Whatever your situation, everyone
must adjust to the changes fall brings.
This fall not only am I going back to school,
to the shock and dismay of my parents, but
I'm going to school in a new state, to the shock
and dismay of my friends.
For the last 22 years, I've lived in Los
Angeles. I'm still not used to the fact that I
really live here now. I've only visited places as
beautiful as this on vacations. The tree-covered
hills (except for an occasional bald patch), and
the blue sky (except for an occasional field burning), never cease to amaze me. I think my
lungs are going through smog withdrawal. Of
course, whenever I pass the mill or smell the
aroma of burning grass fields, I feel right at
home.
I haven't really missed L.A. much yet.
Oregon is an amazing state. You can even
drink water right out of the tap! I just sit on
my .deck, watch the river drift by, and feel
sorry for the fools in L.A. All my friends said,
"Oregon, what the hell are you going to do
there?" (Those who knew where it was, that
is.) I'd just smile and think; no more traffic,
no more ridiculous lines at UCLA, fines at
UCLA, classes of 500 or more, parking tickets,
apartments for $1,600 a month, or guys whose
opening lines are, ''you know, with minor
plastic surgery, you'd look really good."
I am finding it hard to get out of some L.A.
habits, though; my driving, for instance. Did
you ever notice how everyone drives the speed
limit in Oregon? It's really annoying to those
of us who are trying to get somewhere in a
hurry. I'm sure the logging trucks can empathize with me since they always seem to be
in more of a hurry than I am.
Logging trucks bring a new dimension of
horror to the term tailgating. My mother
taught me how to look both ways before crossing the street. Up here, you have to tell your
kids to get out the telescope, look both ways,
put your ear to the ground and listen for the
distant sound of thunder before crossing.
Otherwise, a log truck driver might pick up a
new and exciting hood ornament to replace his
owl.
It is quite an adjustment to learn to drive in
Eugene. I still can't understand why it is that
when I try to drive from Vida to Eugene, I

always end up at Valley River Center. Either
my car is inexplicably attracted to malls, or I've
simply forgotten how to read signs. Of course,
you make one little mistake on the I-5 freeway,
and you're well on your way to L.A. You can't
get off and rectify the situation until you've
made a complete fool of yourself. In L.A. you
can take a wrong off-ramp and get right back
on and look as if you meant to do that.
''Dude, the graffiti under the freeway here
is majorly rad. I totally wanted you to experience it.''
"Wow, Dude, cool." Yes, it's true; we really talk like this.
With all the freeways in LA, the traffic, the
violence, the overpasses, underpasses, sig
alerts, and skid marks, I do fine. I'm a pro.
I come to Eugene, and I can't find my way
downtown. And when I finally do, caught in a
labyrinth of one-way streets, I can't get out!
I began to really miss L.A. the other night.
My parents were gone for the weekend. I was
alone at night, and suddenly, the phone rang.
It was my neighbor. She just wanted to mention that a bear has been hanging around the
area. In fact, she saw it just this evening headed toward my house. How thoughtful of her. I
decided to snuggle up with a good book and a
Smith and Wesson.
I've also discovered that the job market is
slightly depressed. For the past five years, I've
been a lifeguard. Unfortunately, lifeguards
aren't in very high demand in Eugene. In fact
the only jobs I seem qualified for are prune
picking and dancing at a high-quality
.establishm_ent called 'Jiggles.''
The only other thing I miss is L.A. radio.
and significant policy and procedural changes as issues that
may come before the College
Council.
Not waking up to Mark and Brian on KLOS
is also an adjustment. These loud, obnoxious
morning disc jockeys are the creators of freeway
love connection. They get a girl volunteer
(always a blond with a BMW, Corvette or
Mercedes and a car phone). She drives on the
freeway in rush hour, and when she sees a cute
guy, she describes him and his car to Mark and
Brian on the air. If he is listening, he calls in
and they make a date before God and the
listening audience. So far there's been two
marriages and one child this way -- only in
L.A.
Lately, the weather here has been much like
L.A. weather. Every time I comment on it,
•people warn me that winter is coming. You
have to realize that it has rained once in L.A.
in the past eight months. In my whole life,
I've only seen it snow twice and I've never seen
the seasons change. I don't even own an umbrella. I've been living in perpetual summer.
It's a well-known fact that Californians freeze
at 60 degrees. So if you see me on campus in
the rain and I begin to melt, I'm not the wicked witch of the west, just a soggy Californian.

Looking down, he slowly
turns the pages of his
psychology book. The words
seem to look more familiar now
-- he's starting to feel a lot like
Dr. Jekyll contemplating Mr.
Hyde.
He suddenly comes to a
greater understanding of the
facts that he has been studying.
Everything is crystal clear.
Shuddering slightly as a second wave hits, his body
numbs. More than 20 minutes
of inactivity go by.
But the time is not wasted
because he's analyzing his ex-

perience and comparing it with
his psychology course information. He's starting to feel very
schizoid, and he wonders if they
need volunteers for drug studies
at the U of 0.
Now, he may puke. As he
stumbles to the bathroom he's
feeling very lucky that he's
taped his history notes to the
back of the toilet seat.
Gee, school sure can stress a
guy out!
Yes, the new government law
is totally unrealistic. A person
can handle drugs and study,
too.
It's a fine art that anyone can
learn.

Dear Jane:
I'm flattered that you have

What you need is immediate
counseling, and I am not
qualified to offer professional
counseling. You need to get in
touch with Campus Ministries,
otherwise affectionately known
as the '' office of the Priest and
the Pagan,'' and speak to the
"pagan" Marna Crawford. If
you need to talk to a pastor
from a specific religion or
denomination from Catholic to
Shinto, she'll connect you. If
you feel you need crisis counseling, she knows who can help. If
you are an abused spouse, a
troubled vet, a homeless student -- if you've got a problem
-- you can trust ''Mother Marna" to connect you with someone who can help. The office
you want is Room 242 at the
South entrance to the Center

from anywhere on campus. If
you are not on campus, call the
main campus number and ask
for Campus Ministries. You can
also get in touch with Izetta

care and want to help. Get in

Millet explains that he
entered a verbal agreement with
Eugene Mayor Jeff. Miller,
stating that ASLCC would cover
costs incurred for Hult Center
staff and personnel up to
$13,000, while the City of
Eugene would absorb expenses
which would exceed the
$13,000 mark.
But the agreement was not
put in writing, says Harris. And
now, 10 months later, some
debts incurred from the King
event remain unpaid. So the
college, the ASLCC, and the city have established a trust fund
through the LCC Foundation to
raise funds to pay the debt.

Frishberg. "This year's budget
for the event is $10,000. To
date, $8,250 has been allocated.
In addition to this money the
LCC administration has pledged $3,000. The City of Eugene
will donate the Hult Center,
free of charge, and $5,000
worth of services. Other sources
of funding are being looked into as well.''

TORCH Sports Editor

Steinbrenner would be proud
Look out George Steinbrenner, here comes
the LCC administration. And you thought you
had a hard time making up your mind.
The LCC administration has become reminiscent of Steinbrenner, estranged owner of the
New York Yankees, though not quite as extreme.
It has gone through two Health and P .E.
department heads in three months, including
one that held the job for only a week, before
finally settling on Health instructor Bob Creed.
George would be proud.
The first interim department head was Bob
Radcliffe, who would not accept the job because
the administration could not find its way to
allow him the job at his desired pay rate.
So P.E. Instructor Harland Yriarte stepped
up and applied for the job. He had the whole
situation scoped out. And he included in his
letter of application a few stipulations the administration would have to meet if he were to
take the temporary post.
Stipulation number one was that his wife of
three years, Jan Yriarte, be retained as a
secretary in the Health Department. There is a
Board of Education policy which states that no
administrator can supervise a spouse or relative.
Yriarte explaines that the rest of the
secretaries in the department had little experience in Health and P.E. However, Jan has
five years of experience in the department -- experience he (or any other virgin leader) could
not do without.
According to Yriarte, Vice President for Instruction Jackie Belcher read the stipulation and
offered him the job in good faith the next day.
But Belcher later rescinded, saying compromise was a possibility, but the board policy
could not be bypassed. As a result , Yriarte
handed in his resignation.
One of the compromises suggested that Jan
Yriarte be moved from health secretary to
athletics secretary, but Yriarte says that's like
asking Kareem Abdul Jabbar to play guard
because his cousin coaches the centers.
And unfortunately during the time that he
thought he had the job, Yriarte hired part-time
teachers to cover his classes. Now, he only
teaches two night classes this term, because he
would not take back the classes he gave away in
''good faith.''
Now the college will have to find more help

to teach Creed's classes, and it's probably going
to cost the college more money than just paying
Radcliffe what he wanted in the first place.
Y riarte has been part of the LCC
' 'experience' ' for nine years now . His in depth
awareness of the hoops one needs to jump
through to get anything done around this campus -- especially when dealing with the administration -- is certainly a boon.
He did all of his homework, and put it all in
writing. Now Yriarte is upset that Belcher did
not do her homework before giving him the •
job. ·
''The whole purpose of me taking that (the
letter of stipulations) to Jackie was to get an interpretation,'' he explains, ''and when I got the
interpretation that said 'yea, it's not a problem,
we can work it out', then what are you supposed
to say."
Belcher claims that the situation was '' just a
misunderstanding. '' Yriarte refutes that claim.
· ''There was no misunderstanding,'' he states.
''When you have four people (the department
selection committee and Yriarte) sitting in that
room and they interpret it one way and she is
the only one in the room that interprets it
another way ....
'' And then why would they even come back a
day later and tell me Jan can't be in the department?"
Yriarte isn't particularly happy about the
situatioo.. He thinks it comes down to the administration being out of touch with the
students and staff. He says that this kind of
miscommunication between the teachers and
administration, is creating a tension -- a kind of
power struggle.
"One problem is," says Yriarte , " who actually makes the decisions here? I think the
faculty doesn't know who actually makes the
decisions on this campus.
"In my position as a teacher you want things
to work, you want the student to be challenged
and hopefully successful. The people above me,
my support staff, should make my job easier so I
can make that philosophy come true. We' re all
here to accommodate the student,'' and he says
he can't do that without stable help from
above.
Yriarte might be the only teacher at LCC
angry at the system, but something tells me that
he is just one of the many broken pawns of the
LCC-Steinbrenner-like administration.

The future of the women 's

questionable after its' lone runner, Disiree Crunelle, suffered a
knee injury.

''When I arrived at LCC I already had
a doctorate,'' claims Marcia Sullivan. ' 'A
doctorate in Life. '' Sullivan earned her
degree in life by holding a wide range of
jobs -outside of the home, while at the
same time raising her five children.
"I've done everything from checking
groceries to cattle ranching on a 30,000
acre cattle r:anch.
''But I wanted a career where I could
wake up in the morning and like what I
was doing. ''
Sullivan is now attending LCC and
hopes to pursue a career in public relations. Her experiences which earned her
that "doctorate in life" now drive her
with an intense passion to succeed in earning that piece of paper which certifies
academic training and to apply the experience she gained in the first half of
her life.
"I've taught myself that I can do just
about anything,'' she says. ''One time
just after I started ranching in Hereford,
Oregon, I was awakened by a very
drunken ranch hand to assist in the birth
of a calf. The mother was having a hard
time and they needed someone with
small hands to reach in and assist the calf

there I was at 3 a.m. in sub zero weather

Exerutive Council restructured to include greater representation
by Devan Wilson
Torch News Editor

A restructuring of the administrative Executive Council
has led to the formation of a
College Council, a move aimed
to include greater representation from the various constituencies of the college -- including students.
In a move endorsed by the
LCC Board of Education, the
college is shifting to a system of
governance based on participatory management, and as
part of this shift, Interim President Jack Carter re-organized
the Executive Council, created
by former LCC President, Dr.
Richard Turner, III.
Carter says Turner had
developed the council to meet
with those responsible for the
major branches of the institution, and work on the basic
needs of the college.
Beside the president, the Executive Council consisted of the
three vice presidents (for instruction, student services, administrative services) and the
Executive Dean.
''What this step will do,' '
Carter says, "is expand that
group to include presidents of

the faculty union, the classified
union, and the student body
association.''
The College Council
membership will also include
the Director oflnstitutional Advancement and a college planning specialist.
''It's a process we're setting
in place that I believe will be a
benefit to this institution,' 'Carter says.
''Issues that would come to
the council as I see it are
primarily those that have an
institutional-wide impact says
Carter.
Carter lists budgeting and
financing, process planning,
and significant policy and procedural changes as issues that
may come before the College
Council.
In a speech to LCC staff on
Sept. 11, Carter said dissolving
the Executive Council in favor
of the College Council is '' only
one step toward achieving the
level of effective involvement
we need across this institution. ' '
However, Carter says the College Council can not be the sole
means of employee participation at LCC.
1 ''

''I wouldn't want it to be
presumed that the College
Council has achieved the goal of
participatory management or
shared governance," he says.
' '(Participatory management)
has to occur at every level within
the institution. It really has to
permeate the institution and
become part of our institutional
cultural. ' '
Carter says the formation of
the College Council is a step in
that direction.
''We get greater employee
involvment, '' he says, ''greater
involvement by those people
that are affected by the decis10ns.
'' At the same time it needs to
be understood that there is a
great deal of participation that
occurs across this campus, in
some areas much better than
others. What we want to do is
increase that degree of participation.''
Both the council and Carter

have received positive response
to the first two council
meetings.
''I have for some time been a
proponent of participatory
management,'' says Andy Harris, president of LCC' s student
body. ''One thing I really pushed for last year was increased
student involvement. I believe
the College Council is definitely
a step in that direction. I really
appreciate Jack Carter for the
steps he's taken.''
Jay Marston, president of the
LCC Education Association
agrees with Marston. ''It's an
especially good start the way
Jack has been handling the first
two council meetings. He's
making decisions in the
meeting, he's stating the
reasons for his decisions, and
he's allowing a good exchange
of information.''
Carter is also positive about
the developement of the council.

"I think the foundation is
starting to take form," he says.
''We' re starting to understand
each other. ''
Carter says the council has
scheduled a retreat for later this
month to deal with ''who we
are and what we're all about."

For someone first seeing it.
the piece may seem lighthearted
and almost comical. But Hov •s
Lizard Press presents more th.an
meets the eye .
It represents the creativity
and philosophy of a well known
teacher and local anist. Lizard
Press, now appearing at the
Mayor's Art Show at the Hult
Center for the Performing Arts,
is only one of Hoy's pieces on
exhibit around town .
Other pieces by Hoy are on
exhibit at the Kern's Art
Center , the Erb Memorial
Union at the University of
Oregon, and in the LCC Faculty
Art Show. His art is widely

recognized and was eYen shown

He first re;llized his interest
in ;m in high school. when he
discovered in shop classes that
he liked working with woods
and metals. ''I really enjoyed
shop classes bcause I could work
with my hands,'' explained
Hoy.
Starting college at Central
Washington University, Hoy
met students and professors in
the art field and began to take
an even greater interest. A
bachelor of science preceded a
bachelor of arts degree for Hoy,
who believes that science and
art are interrelated. '' Science is
a way of looking at our world
and understanding it, and art is
the same ," he says .

psychology, sociology, science,
and all the ideas can affect the
artist.''
Finishing his 20th year at
Lane, Hoy's teaching experience
ranges across a wide spectrum.
He taught at Mount Hood
Community College, and pan
time at both the U of O and the
University of Northern Iowa.
Aside from his teaching, Hoy
also received grants to work on
his own experimental art projects.
Through his sculpture, Hoy
expresses his philosophy about
nature and an expanding world.
"I am interested in creating
works that deal with the ambivalence one finds in life situa-

tions. There are times when we
do not know whether to laugh
or cry, and whether we are taken
seriously or not. We may confront experiences that appear to
be meaningful and banal at the
same time other experiences
leave us with a bittersweet
memory.
''I attempt to create works
that deal with these qualities,
by using narration and
metaphor. The animals are at
times metaphors of the human
situation. Primarily I make
sculptures as a personal investigation. I try to 'surprise'
myself with ideas and forms, or
in other words, I try to get outside myself,'' explains Hoy .

Getting a master's in
sculpture and painting, along
with the two bachelor's degrees
has convinced Hoy that a liberal
arts education is best for artists.

by Mary Kathleen Browning
Torch Entertainment Editor

The oldest political theater
group in the United States, the
San Francisco Mime Troupe,
will be at the University of
Oregon Campus next week to
present a musical comedy about
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in
the Middle East.
The play, Seeing Double,
will be presented by the award
winning company in the EMU
Ballroom ..
The tale is of° two American
men -- one of Palestinian descent, the other ofJewish descent
-- travelling to the West Bank.
There, through a series of
mishaps, they switch places; the
Arab living in Israeli territory
and the Jew in Palestinian territory.
Two sets of excitable relatives
of all political hues and an uncanny resemblance between the
two young men, lead to a nonstop farce of mistaken identity,
complete with a suprise ending.
The comedy addresses the need
for the two peoples to develop
communication and trust.

River Gathering Foundation
and the Lane County Women's
