Presidential candidates
continue campus visits

Parking at
DTC will
cost students

by Mary Browning
Torch Entertainment Editor

The search for LCC' s new college president continued as three
more of seven candidates visited the campus to meet with officials.
Jimmie Downing, president of Barton County Community College, Great Bend, Kansas; Gerard Berger, vice president of
Chemeketa Community College in Salem; and Raymond
Needham, president of Guilford Technical Community College,
Jamestown, NC, were the fourth, fifth, and sixth candidates to visit
campus.
Each followed schedules predetermined fot all candidates, which
included a question-and-answer session and with LCC staff and
students.
Downing, Nov. 3
Downing has a bachelor's, master's and doctorate in education,
and has served at Barton County CC for over 20 years.
He told staff and students he wants the LCC presidency because
he wants new challenges and to do what he can for the college.

The parking lot at 11th and
Willamette Street, managed by
the city of Eugene and frequented by students of the LCC
Downtown Center (DTC), is
scheduled to become metered
parking in a restucturing of the
Downtown Developement
District's free parking program.
Mechanical problems with
the parking meters has caused a
delay in their installation, says
Jerry Gill, a developement
analyst with Eugene's Planning
and Developement Department. The meters have been
sent back to manufacturer and
will be installed when repairs
are completed, according to
Gill.
The Overpark structure at
10th and Oak Street, also frequented by DTC students, has
already been converted into a
metered lot.
Businesses in the Downtown
Developement District pay fees
which support management
and marketing of the downtown
district, and the free parking
program, according to Gill.
Merchants in the district pay an
advalorum tax and a gross

• Student activities

He said that the type of student involvement at Barton County
differs greatly from that of LCC. While LCC students are more
politically proactive, Barton County students focus on more traditional pur uits.
At Barton County the students control student fees. Downing
said that a recent increase in the tuition at the college was supported by students because a portion of that money will go to
minority scholarships.
With revenue bonds from student fees, Barton County students
also built a student center.
• Involvement in the community

ASLCC Senator Chuck Doerr practices for the Lowriders, a
local wheelchair basketball team, twice a week. The Lowriders
will play an exhibition wheelchair basketball game against
the members of the ASLCC on Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. as part of
Disabled Awareness Month at LCC (see related stories on
pages 6, 7, and 9).

At Barton County, Downing works to keep open relations with
the public school system, local business, and the community. "If
you want the public to support you, they've got to know about
you."
• Management

Downing has instigated a policy at Barton County of rotating administrators to new positions every two to three years. He said this
helps the administrators to learn from different perspectives.

Students explain short stay at Le Petit Adret
by Michael Omogrosso
Torch Editor

&Jitor 's Note: This is the first installment ofa continuing story about Le Petit
Adret;- the experiences of some students
with the school; and LCC's involvement
with the program.
Pat Brown, a 51 year-old LCC student,
remembers when Le Petit Adret was
described in a humanities class this summer. "It was like a long awaited dream
to go to Europe," she says.
But, that dream was dashed for
Brown, and at least two other women -Lynda Wade and Robelyn Lavarty -- who
returned from France, Friday, Oct. 13,
after only three weeks at the school nestled in the French alpine village of Villard
de Lans.
Reasons for their dissatisfaction with
the school include claims of:
• schoolastic discrepancies
• harsh and strained living conditions
• limited cohesive dialogue with the
staff
• misrepresentation of the cost of living expenses

• misrepresentation of the school's affiliation with LCC.
Brown is quick to point out France and
the French people were marvelous and
she wished she could have stayed to enjoy the culture. But the accumulation of
seemingly unaddressed grievances at the
school lead her, Laverty, and Wade to
return early to LCC.
Living conditions

''The cold, it was very cold there. I got
very, very sick," says Brown, almost
shivering from the memory. And, she
says, the staff told her the radiators
weren't turned on until it got much colder.
''I remember one night I was having
chills so bad, Robe and Lynda had about
six quilts or blankets on top of me.''
Brown says school officials didn't turn
the heat on right away, but did put her
in a room over the boiler.
Laverty says she finally threatened to
sue the owner of the chalet and had heat
on within 15 minutes.
Jackie Victor, program director and
French instructor at Le Petit, came to the

Torch office Oct. 24, to talk about Le
Petit and respond to some of the allegations Wade, Brown, and Laverty made.
' 'We try, to the very best of our ability, to let (the students) know what to expect when they get (to France)," says
Victor.
''I generally say (the living conditions)
are a couple of steps up from a scout
camp,'' she says, ''that it will be colder
because the Europeans don't heat things
like we do.'' She says she makes it sound
worse than it is so students will be
pleasantly surprised upon arrival.
Scholastics

While a harsher climate than the midWillamette Valley might not have deterred the students from staying, the three

women claim their concern about the
academic environment at Le Petit was a
serious factor.
In a trans-Atlantic telephone conversation, former LCC science instructor Bob

Hauk, who now teaches math 70 and 95
for the Le Petit Adret, said the two
courses were combined in the same hour
as an experiment. It was apparently un-

successful.
Brown remembers one day in particular that the class session was devoted
almost entirely to Math 70.
Laverty, a Math 95 student, also
remembers it as well. ''He gave me five
minutes while he's digging in his closet
to get things together for a Physics
class.''
After only one week at Le Petit, she
called long distance to LCC's Vice President for Instruction, Jackie Belcher.
Laverty says she complained about the
math class, as well as the absence of any
astronomy or art history classes up to that
point.
She says Belcher urged her and the
others to stay and try to work it out. But
the continuing problems became
unbearable, claims Laverty.
"Toward, oh I don't know, the second
week (Hauk) said, 'OK, I guess we need
separate class times. How about eight
o'clock at night,' " says Laverty. And
that was not well received.
At one point, Laverty approached

Labeling people becomes sticky situation, at best
by Michael Omogrosso
Torch Editor

Disabled, or handicapped, or alterable.
Choosing the right term for the right
situation is often difficult, but when
referring to the seeing-impaired, the
physically-impaired, and the learningimpaired, that task becomes sticky at
best.
Words to identify groups of people -hippies, Indians, the handicapped to
name a few -- generally come from outside observers and become accepted
through usage. The labels are not
necessarily appreciated by all the
members of those groups, and handicapped is one such label.

I have a seeing-impaired friend who
is legally blind. One day I asked how
she survives, handicapped as she is. She
responded in a rage, ''I'm not handicapped. Handicapped is an old
English word that means to have your
cap in your hand, begging. And I am
not a beggar. ''
She went on to say that to this day in
many cultures throughout the world,
disabled people are often handed the
role of beggar as their only means of
support.
The word disabled also comes under
fire. Dis-able means not having ability.
It carries with it a negative connotation •
and that is where the contention lies.
Every disabled person I know has

ability. Whether it is the ability to win
Olympic wheelchair races or swimming
meets, to organize support groups or
administer whole cities, or merely to
bring to the world their smile each day,
they are able.
Alter-able is one of the most recent
buzz words to describe the impaired in
a more positive light, stressing that just
because one or more abilities is
restricted, alternative abilities do exist.
It is a term coined from within the
ranks of this group, but, even so, alterable, too, is not unilaterally accepted
among the impaired.
For some, the label -- handicapped
or disabled -- has been worn so long
they are accustomed to it, as a farmer is

to his beat-up hat or a grandmother her
shawl. For others the terms are points
of pride, a way to contrast their
disability with their ability: ''Yes, I am
handicapped and see how I am overcoming it." But, in all likelihood, the
majority just accept the labels as they
have learned to accept their impairments.
While disabled is the term most
widely accepted, the wrong label applied at the wrong time to the wrong
person can cause grief.
So, how are these individuals to be
called? Call them first, human. Call
them next, friend. And if a distinction
must be made, call them by the term
they prefer. Talk with them, and ask.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Stereotypes must go
To the Editor:
I am writing this letter out of
concern for my people: Not only black people, but humanity.
I have noticed items being sold
that portray what I consider to
be a negative, stereotypical image of black people.
I understand that all people
are stereotyped, but when you
-- my black brothers and sisters
-- choose to enforce or affirm
these stereotypes, what is it saying to those who believe these
things of you?
As for my brothers and sisters
who are not black, please
broaden your minds and seek to
educate yourselves about other
people and they, in turn, will
educate you.
Finally, let us try to accept
and understand people for what
they are, instead of what we
want or expect them to be.
Nigel D. Hunter

"God" exists. Assumptions on
''faith'' do not meet the requirements of science.
Such concerns motivated
Aristotle to write his treatises on
logic, analytics, ideas, and
rhetoric that inspired modern
linguistics. Unfortunately, the
field of linguistics -- like library
administration -- has been
targeted by religious zealots as a
field for subversion and
domination.
After thirty years of dedicated
ministry, William Montgomery
Brown, Anglican Archbishop of
Arkansas, sought to reconcile
Bible understanding in the light
of scientific and rational
philosophic knowledge. He was
tried and ousted from his post
for heresy. In eight volumes of
The Bankruptcy of Chnstian
Supernaturalism
(Bradford-Brown Educational
Co., Galion, Ohio, 1920)
Brown exposed ludicrous theist
claims unacceptable to intelligent people.

Defining theology
To the Editor:
Jason Maas' letter, ''Theory
flawed" (Torch, 10-20-89), is
an artful linguistic bombast
more suited to a glib theologian
than an intelligent student. It
demonstrates how language is
used to confound rather than
enlighten.
Theology is an -- like other
unverifiable creations of imagination -- not science. Skepticism enjoys a philosophical
priority. Nonsense would quickly overwhelm rational thought
if beliefs could not be sorted
between ''reality'' and
''fiction'' by an accepted logical
process.
Theists are intent on forcing
their definition of "reality" by
using every opportunity for
linguistic obfuscation. If
writings and arguments are not
readily clear, one needs to examine their logical validity with
extra care or risk having one's
intellect abused.
Intelligent people realize
theists' concepts require proof
that ''God'' exists. Even
philosophy professors at public
universities allow themselves to
be led to argue theological
points without clearly
establishing the priority due
skepticism failing proof that

Amnesty; life-saver
To the Editor:
Are you satisfied in your life?
Probably, but even if you are
not, so many people in the
world are in a much worse and
unbelievable situation.
Thousands of people are not
in prison because of murder or
theft, but because of their
beliefs. Many are held without
charge or trial. Torture and
capital punishment are
widespread in the world, while

Somewhere in this world, at this
time, someone is being tortured
or killed without any reason at
all.
Amnesty International is a
worldwide movement of people
acting on the conviction that
governments do not have the
ability to deny their citizens
basic human rights.
Amnesty International:
• Works for the release of
those persons imprisoned
because of their beliefs, color,
sex, ethics, origin, language or
religion (provided they have
neither used nor advocated
violence).

• Demands fair and prompt
trials for all political prisoners.
• Hopes to end the use of torture and execution throughout
the world.
Amnesty International seeks
the most effective means of
helping individuals whose
rights have been violated. They
sends letters, cards, and
telegrams on behalf of individual prisoners to government officials. In addition,
Amnesty International raises
money to send medicine, food,
and clothing to prisoners and
their families.
One released prisoner from
Paraguay said, ''My only
human contact was through my
tortures. My only company were
the cockroaches and mice. On
Christmas Eve, the guard tossed
in a crumpled piece of paper into my cell. It said, 'Take heart.
The world knows you are alive.
We're with you. Regards,

Diamonds in rough
To the Editor:
Greatness results from your
propelling positive insights
towards a postive self growth.
It's been said that a diamond
in the rough shines not as bright
as one cut by the hands of a
master.
Knowledge, experience,
faith, and common sense are the
foundation in which everything
stands, and you are its master if
you so choose it to be.
We are in the midst of a great
movement which is propelling
positive insights towards persons who are challenged. The
words disabled, handicapped,
or crippled are negative words
that bring the wrong picture to
mind, making it easier to think
inability than ability.
I have been challenged by a
wheelchair for over thirteen
years now, and I think these
words belong in the trash can.
Many challenged champions
come to mmd: .Kay Charles,
Helen Keller, President
Roosevelt, and Oregon's world
record holder Craig Blanchette,
just to name a few.

Tell one of these greats
they're disabled, handicapped
or crippled, and only two
wouldn't intensely debate that
issue, but their previous works
might.

Please don't feel afraid or intimidated to ask questions.
Remember, the dumbest question is the one you don't ask; it
only leaves you wondering.
Take some challenges. Try a
day in a wheelchair -- sponsered
by ASLCC (during the entire
month of Nov.) -- or perhaps
another impairment.
The cuts have been made;
you guessed it -- you 're the diamond. Add to your brightness
and shine, as it is always a joy to
look at.

Belief; by faith
To the Editor:
By faith, voters believe politicians will fulfill their promises.
By faith, children believe
what their parents tell them.
By faith, newlyweds believe
their spouse will remain
faithful.
By faith, employees believe
they'll be equally considered for
promotion.
By faith, citizens believe
government will solve society's
problems.
By faith, people normally
trust one another.
By faith, Christianity will not
accept reincarnation.

Organic farming probable key to a healthier future
commentary by John Unger
Torch Staff Writer

Organic Farming is a hopeful
and growing industry that
should be implemented to put
the vitality back into our country's roots.
Society must leave behind its
methods of mass chemicalintensive agriculture production, and return to the practice
of local collective farming.
Organic farming involves
preserving the soil we have. It
also involves intelligent
cooperation in order to produce
more soil that can grow a diversity of quality food -- quality
food which will lessen aggression between humans by providing better nutrition while
preserving genetic diversity in
our biosphere and ourselves.
Chemical-intensive farming
boosts short-term harvest, while
creating large corporate farms
which drive family farmers out
of business.
"Since WW II, the number
of family farms in the US has
shrunk from almost six million
to about one-half million,'' says
Fred Oerther. Despite this
figure, Oerther has switched
from the medical profession to
family-based organic farming.
At present in the US, one
percent of farm owners reap
two-thirds of farm profits.
These mono-crop monopolists
court epidemics by using
genetically singular, simplified
crop strains.
The National Academy of
Sciences recently endorsed farming methods that rely on
either no, or fewer and safer
chemicals. Oregon Tilth, a
group of concerned volunteers,
was far in advance of the recent
shift in mainstream attitudes.
A Sept.13 editorial in The
Register-Guard heralded that
Tilth has recently had
marvelous cooperation from
Oregon's Legislature. The nation's first regulations defining
organic food have allowed
Oregon Tilth to certify 141
Oregon growers as meeting
their strict standards. Those
standards involve testing soil for
residues of persistent chemicals
Chlorinated
including
Hydrocarbons (such as DDT),
Organophosphates, phenoxy
compounds (such as 2-4-D and
2-4-5-n, and others.
But Alan Kapular, Ph.D., a
member of Tilth for 14 years,
grows anxious in his quest for
prevalence.
ecosani ty 's
'' Although these farms are
organically certified, most of
them have one part per million
to one part per billion of DDT
ip their soil," says Kapuler,
who received his doctorate in
Life Sciences.
' 'There is no good science
that says how much of the DDT
gets into the food system,'' he
says. ''But in 1950, one out of
200 male high school graduates
in this country was sterile due to
low sperm count, and now one
out of four young men in the
US is sterile. ' '
Kapuler read this study in,

Diet For a New America,
published last year and written
by Norman Robbins. Kapular
says that DDT is known to cause
bird's eggs to be infertile or to
become soft and break.
With chemical intensive farming, we may be sterilzing not
only our soil, but ourselves as
well.
DDT may create a threat of
cancer as well.
''We need to find out what
the level of DDT is in the fat
(where DDT is stored) of people
who ar~ getting cancer,'' says
Kapuler, who has studied
cancer viruses. Evidences of
cancer being environmentally
caused is piling up, but Kapuler
claims that certain basic connections still need to be made.
''We also need studies,' ' he
says, ''that compare the nutrition of organically and conventionally grown food because
there is no data about that.''
Kapular' s most powerful recent work may be his study with
of
Gurusiddiah
Dr.
Washington State University
dealing with determining the
amounts of free amino acids in
common vegetables. The two
are working on a unique
database that would allow mixing the juices of vegetables to
create an organic food low on
the food chain. This food would
contain all twenty-two amino
acids, allowing quicker protein
synthesis. Normally we ingest
complex proteins that need .to·
be broken down into free amino
acids in our bodies in order to
be reassembled into our proteins.
Although the need for
locally-produced organic food is
increasing, the largest farms in
the Willamette Valley are those
owned by grass seed farmers.
They spray poisons, use no crop
rotation systems, use no soil
enhancement systems, and
release carbon into the atmosphere by burning their
fields.
Fred Oerther was a medical
doctor in Vietnam and saw that
the peasants on the Indochina
peninsula had a system of
agriculture that did not depend
on depleting the soil.
''Particularly in Southern
China, people have been farming the same land for 2 - 3000
years and they haven't been exploitative,'' he says.
Oerther points out that
everywhere else in the world,
long before chemical farming,
people have used a slash-andburn approach to agriculture.
' 'Almost everywhere from the
Hindu Kush to the Western

Organic produce, sold in local markets and roadside stands such as this one, provides safe alternatives
to mass produced, chemical-intensice crops.

Mediterranean is now desert,''
Oerther states. "It's because of
overgrazing and the fact that
people have taken a mining approach to agriculture, which
doesn't take into account that
the topsoil, and actually the
whole biosphere, is our true
capital base. ''
With more health-concious
consumers becoming concerned
about chemical residues on
food, Oerther says that productionist farmers are lining up at
Oregon Tilth's door to find out
what it .takes. to be organic. -He
says their primary concern is
what they can spray that is
quick, cheap, and clean.
Farmers struggle to produce
more in order to stay on the
monopoly board, and building
the topsoil is often an afterthought. But true organic farming includes methods that use
fewer poisons, use diversified
and rotational planting, and
that also sustain the soil.
Oerther says that it is fortunate that farmers are turning
to the organic movement,
whatever their motives, because
the academic establishment is
geared to the quarterly profit/ loss syndrome and tries to
conform farms to the
parameters of industrial plants.
''If you do that, you're going to
at least have to pay the bills,
which means putting back into
the ecosystem what is taken
out," Oerther explains.
Oerther has a forty-acre farm
near Portland. He collects
organic matter in the summer
and spends much of the winter
using his tractor to turn it in
order to break it down. ''I have

• Unions
Downing is not personally in favor of
unionization. He said he has seen too
many cases where both management and
unions develop a "them or us" stance -but not a case of "what's best for the
students.''
At Barton County, there is no faculty
union, but Downing said he would have
accepted one if the faculty had chosen to
have a union.

• Studentinvovement

"We're only here for the students,"
he said. In fact, at Guilford the 13th
member of the Board of Education is a
student, involved in all the board's
meetings and decisions, although
without a vote.
Needham said Guilford students are
very active in clubs. ''Our clubs are probably the most active you will find,'' he
said.

Berger, Nov. 6

• Collective bargaining

Berger holds bachelor's and master's
degrees, and a doctorate in counseling
and guidance. He has worked in nearly
every administrative leadership role at
CCC since 1974.
Berger said he applied for the job at
LCC because his skills are a "good mix"
with LCC's needs. He added that he
would be ideally suited to the job
because of his knowledge of the Oregon
community college system, and of the
business-end of a college's operation.
• Open communication

Berger spoke often of the neccesity for
open communication and the need to be
''really upfront and open with people. ''

Student involvement in running the
college, and participatory management
in general are ''neccessary, now . . . it
probably always was," he said. "If (a

decision) affects somebody, they need to
be involved.''
• Collective bargaining

Chemeketa often uses what Berger
called ' 'conceptual' ' collective bargaining, an approach which first i1entifies
common areas for bargaining -- ''so were
not working on sentences and
semicolons,'' he said.
• Strengths and weaknesses

• Participatory management

Seven years ago Berger lost the opportunity to become president of
Chemeketa. Although it was a bitter
disappointment at the time, he said the

experience has strengthened him as a
person, and given him the opportunity
to broaden the skills necessary to be
president.
Needham, Nov. 9

Needham earned a bachelor's degree
in agricultural education, a master's
degree in education administration, and
a doctorate in vocational education administration. He served as Linn-Benton
Community College president from
1970 to 1980.
He said LCC is a ''pacesetter.'' He applauds the fact that the community feels
good about its college.

LCC enrollment on the rise
by Don Standeford
Torch Staff Writer

Having difficulty registering
for high-demand classes,
waiting in longer lines, and
seaching for elusive parking
spaces are some of the problems
caus7d by LCC 's increased
enrollment.
As of the fourth week of fall
term, 700 more credit students
were enrolled compared to
registration figures from the
same time last year. And, for
the most part, these additional
students are attending full-time
and plan to stay at LCC for two
years, according to Bob Marshall, vice president of Student
Services.
The college is making some
adjustments to accomodate the
higher numbers. Some departments have been able to increase class sizes or have added
extra sections -- although several
classes, mostly weekend and
night sections, had been
eliminated to compensate for
last year's budget reductions,
acknowledges Marshall.
But adding even more classes
is prohibited because of the
budgeting process: budgeted
funds have not increased tor this
year in step with the current
surge in enrollment. Instead,
enrollment from previous years
has been used to predict the

budget. "We've been reducing
budgets around here for the last
five years or more, '' Marshall
says.
Funds to support increased
enrollment will likely come
from an increase in tuition,
Marshall says. Since most of the
new students are full time, taking more than 12 credits, they
do not pay tuition for each
credit above 11, so the money
coming from them is not paying
for the extra expenses.
"We really haven't cut out
very many programs. Those programs we have cut were seriously under-enrolled."
He estimates that the number
of students who did not get
their desired classes was about
10 percent more than last year.
''There are programs which
are basically under-enrolled,
and obviously some which are
over-enrolled,'' he said. Of
course, classes in the English,
Foreign Language, and Speech
Department, the Science
Department, the Math Department, and other transfer
oriented classes in greater demand receive a higher priority.
Reasons for Increase

Marshall cites a number of

''The (U of 0) had a
reasonably high increase in tuition last year and we didn't
have one, so we might have
looked better, at least to some
people," he says.
Attributing part of the success to LCC 's recent advertising
campaigns, Marshall says, ''I
think we've just done a better
job of getting the word out
about Lane Community College."
Publicity campaigns have included on television, radio,
high school visits, and bus
posters.
Marshall acknowledges that
tougher enrollment standards at
the U of O have boosted enrollment to some extent at LCC.
Last year, the university recruitment program sent the word
out to high school students that
only a 3.4 GPA would
guarantee them entrance to the
U of O. As a result, Marshall
says, many students may have
completely bypassed the U of 0
and enrolled at LCC first,
without bothering to try at the
university.

know why,'' says McKevitt.
These students, he says, may experience low self-esteem, feelings of alienation, or may react
to their inabilities with social
behavior problems.
The Learning Disabled Club,
which began this year as a
branch of Disabled Student Services , will work toward improving and implementing services
for helping these students succeed in college .
Says McKevitt, "The club's
top priority is to keep each other
in school," by providing a buddy system of support.
The club also works on
building study skills to help

students overcome, or learn to
accomodate their weaker areas
of ability.
McKevitt encourages LCC to
help in these ways:
• by beginning programs to
support new students who may
be learning disabled
• by providing testing to
reveal these disabilities
• by informing instructors
about different types of learning disabilities, and how
students can be accomodated by
changes in teaching and exam
techniques .
More information about the
club is available from Disabled
Student Services, Center 213C,

One point both May and Colt stress to the ablebodied (A-B's in the disabled jargon) population is to
be aware of the stigma which seems to be attached to
the disabled person.
''Some people still have a '20s attitude about a handicapped person,'' Colt points out. ''If they see you
coming, they will cross the street to avoid contact with
you. It's like they think you have some kind of contagious disease. ' '
May concurs, saying, "It's amazing, the number of
people who automatically make the assumption that a
person in a wheelchair is stupid or dumb or that a blind
person is deaf and must be spoken to very slowly like a
little child.''
Disabled and able-bodied people just don't seem to
be making connections, says Colt. With all the
stereotyping going on, it seems like the two groups are
never m tune with each other.
"Don't be afraid to talk to a disabled person," advises Colt. "If a person is sincere when asking questions, it can be very gratifying, although every person
reacts differently.''
The Disabled Advisory Club was established when
LCC was built and has been running off and on ever
since. Its members meet every Wednesday afternoon at
2 p.m. in Center 410.
Another group making itself well known among
students and faculty is the Learning Disabled Support
G:roup which meets every Thursday morning at 9 a.m.
in Center 420.
Both groups support and further the cause of disabled students at Lane. Active participation from the rest
of the student body is welcomed and encouraged.
As Colt succintly states, ''I enjoy talking to walking
people. I like to straighten them out.''

Computers more accessible to disabled
by Carl Mottle
Torch Staff Writer

The commitment to making
higher education available to
disabled students at LCC extends to the computer lab,
where a variety of modifications
make the computers more accesible to those challanged.
Students who are confined to
wheelchairs, visually impaired,
or must deal with restricted
hand or arm movement will
find that the computers in the
lab, with a variety of hardware,
software, and special devices,
are easy to put to use.
If a student is confined to a
wheelchair, he or she will
discover that parts of the computer lab have been designed
with wheelchair use in mind.
Table heights allow a
wheelchair to come within a
comfortable working distance,
or specially constructed lap
boards and detachable
keyboards permit the computer

keyboard to come to the user.

motion is restricted for hands or
arms can utilize universal cuffs

These
"hunt-and-peck" data entry
when conventional typing is not
possible. A track ball device
(like the ball controller on
popular video games) makes
available all the possibilities of a
computer ''mouse'', but does
so with a minimum of movement.
Computer use is practical for
the visually impaired also. A
machine which enlarges printed
material assists people with partial sight. A voice synthesizer
and Braille printer make computer use for blind students a
reality. The computer reads
back to the student what is
typed, and the student can then
select a copy printed in Braille
or standard text.
Anne Bacon, center lab coordinator, has instituted many of

the accomodations for disabled
students. She acquired an
understanding of their importance to certain students. About
two years ago, she fell victim to
an accident, and as she explains
"I was trying to get around
campus in a wheelchair."
However, she found some resultant problems so formidable
that she switched to crutches.
She gained a new appreciation for problems confronted by
disabled students while
' 'looking at things from a different perspective'' in a
wheelchair. This understanding, coupled with student requests, motivated a level of service for handicapped students at
LCC computer labs which exceeds most other labs in the
area.
Further additions and
upgrades to the computer lab
are planned for the future, to
ensure that computer use by
disabled students will become
even easier in the years to come.

Film portrays disabled achievements

How does a blind mother with children handle the daily responsibilities that confront her?
How does a person relegated to a life of bed
rest hold down a job?
How? Find out by viewing LCC 's new captioned video tape called The Impossible Takes
a Little Longer, to be available for student
check-out winter term in the LCC Library.
In this 50 minute film, the viewer enters the
personal and professional lives of four disabled
women.
Delores May, coordinator of Disabled Student Services says, "Whether you're disabled
or not, male or female, this film can teach you
a lot.''

Last year the Disabled Asvisory Club, along
with LCC staff, students, and the community,
previewed the film, and the response was
positive.
The film is ''superbly done,'' May says.
' 'The attitude which comes across is one of
self-responsibility and independence. These
people are not victims of their disabilities, ''
stresses May.
The video was purchased by a joint effort
from Cooperative Work Experience, the
Disabled Advisory Club, and the LCC Library.
The library is in the process of obtaining a
captioned copy. Terria Burch of the library's
Learning Resource Center reports, ''The video
will be catalogued and ready for student checkout by winter term.''

Hauk, concerned about maintaining her
high academic achievement. "I want to
get a four point,'' she said. ''I want to
learn.''
Laveny says that while placing an arm
over her shoulder, he told her, ''Robe, if
you'll just stay, I can guarantee you'll get
a four point.''
Qualifying Hauk' s assurance of a 4. 0
GPA Victor relates that from past
history, students' GP As rise due
to added attention and teacher
availability.
''That they should be able to get a
four point under those circumstances I
think is virtually guaranteed.''
Nor was math the only problem class
for the students. The three agree that
Letters

they understood three credits of art
history could be earned without excessive
travel across France, other than a trip to
Paris.
Wade says she was told she could
fulfill most of the requirements locally.
She claims Victor said the town of Villard
was rich in local history.
However, she found it was necessary to
make excursions to three other cities, as
well as Paris. "I get over there and it's
800 fucking dollars (for the excursions)."
Contrary to Wade's claim, Victor says
the art history requirements were fully
explained in orientation sessions at LCC
before leaving for France. And she says
the class could be taken for variable

credit, thereby eliminating some of the
field trips.
She also claims the three women
weren't very good about attending
classes. In Victor's opinion, they were
sure by the end of the third day that they
were not having their academic needs
met.
Spending Money
Extraneous living expenses were
higher than they were told they would
be, say the three students.
Wade quotes from the Le Petit Adret
Handbook under the heading of Spending Money:
"We suggest $100 a month is adequate for these items. You need money
for movies , hockey games, postage,

phone calls, local field trips, bus fare to
Grenoble and a pastry now and then."
The three concur that laundry would
cost from $7 to $10 a load, and a cup of
coffee ran $2 -- American.
''If you had one cup of coffee a day ,' '
says Wade, "and did one load oflaundry
a week it came to something like $90 (for
one month) .
"It's just absolutely ridiculous to
think you'd get by on $100 a month."
Victor says that before departure she
carefully checked the budgets which
students planned to follow once in
France, especially because of their financial aid status. But in her opinion,
Wade, Brown, and Laverty may not have
been prudent with their money.

Wheelchair basketball signals new opportunities
If you decide to make the
trip to see the women's
basketball team play a nonleague game Wednesday,
Nov. 29 at LCC, at halftime
you will be treated to
something you don't see

You will see athletes playing basketball against student

Although that might not

the circumstances: Both

one team can get up and walk
away from the game; the
other, for the most part, cannot.
The latter is the Lowriders

basketball team. They will put
on the halftime exhibition
against members of the
Associated Students of LCC to
·help promote Disable

But the ASLCC team will be

along with that comes accessibility to sports and recreation.
Sports can give people with
djsabilities a chance to get out

Recreation not only provides a
healthy glow, but can also be
used as a support group situation -- like with the Lowriders.
Lauren Cushing is a
therapist with the ORC at
Sacred Heart Hospital and a
member of the Lowriders since
1979. He is post-polio and has
the ability to walk, but found
it hard to compete in sports
with able-bodied people; thus
his competition with the
Lowriders.
' 'There are so many reasons
why people get involved in
sports,'' he explains. ''But the
ultimate goal is to be recognized for our achievements.
''It's a confidence builder,''
Cushing says of sports. ''I
think it carries over into everyday lives very well. ' '
Cushing urges less active
disabled people to "get off
their butts, '' because there is
more and more accessibilities

and opportunities every day.
That's just what Doerr and
Cushing have done, and each
have reaped the satisfaction of
reaching personal goals. Doerr
in the water, and Cushing on
the court.
''It's made me feel like I've
accomplished something,'' explains Doerr of his swimming
success. ' 'In the water I feel
more free, and it makes me
feel stronger.
''When I get out of the
water I'm tired as hell, but I
feel so much better. ''
Cushing has used his oncourt experiences to help
others too.
''I've been able to take a lot
of those experiences back to
the hospital and help newly
disabled people,'' he explains.
So if you' re looking for
some inspiration, come to this

~ith play-off hopes on the line the Titan volleyball team lost intensity and then lost a last chance at slipping into the postseason in
a 12-15, 15-7, 15-8, 15-12 loss to Southwestern Oregon Community College Wednesday, Nov. 8.
The Titans dropped out of Northwest Athletic Association of
Co~unity Colleg~s play-off contention after the loss in Coos Bay,
which dropped their record to 3-7 and left them cold in fifth place
of the Southern Division.
"I'm disappointed,"said Head Coach Lisa Youngman. "To
start out with such high hopes and never fulfill them."
According to Youngman, LCC played well in winning the first
game, but fell apart and gave up 12 straight points in the second
game.
The Titans never recovered.
A win would have given LCC an outside chance to finish with
sole possesion of fourth place, because Clackamas CC lost to
Chemeketa CC, Nov. 8. But the Titans still would have needed to
win both of their upcoming games.
Umpqua (Nov. 10) and Chemeketa (Nov. 11) are LCC's opponents this weekend as it finishes the season.
"We want to finish out good," said Youngman.

The LCC men's cross coun.try
team has been working on
speed and quickness in hopes of
finishing as one of the top three
teams in the Northwest Athletic
Association of Community Colleges Championships in Seatlle,
Nov. 11.
Head Coach Kevin Meyers
has been using speed intervals
and tempos to increase endurance and overall sprinting
ability. Those tactics may be important if the Titans can put
one or two more runners in the
top ten of the championship
field.
"If the f9ur and five

members of our squad do well,
then we will be right in the with

The Titans toughest competition will come from Highline

Clackamas CC, who dominated
the region IV meet at Lane two_
weeks ago. LCC finished second
at that meet.
''Our strongest opponent this
year will be Seattle's Highline, ' '
says Meyers. ''But Clackamas
will also be tough. ' '
The Titans have had trouble
with the Clackamas this season.

The Blue Door Theatre is going to get a makeover.
This winter the LCC Performing Arts Department will redesign the small theater to correct
problems with the seating configuration, improve
the lighting and sound systems, and redecorate
the interior.
In order to fund the renovation, the department has decided not to produce a Main Stage
Theatre winter show. A portion of the money that
would have been spent on a winter production
will finance the work to be done on the theater.
The department will also raise funding by adding
to the number of performances in each of the
other Main Stage performances.
• According to theater instructor Patrick Torelle,
another reason for deciding not to have a winter
production is to give the workers time to do the
renovation. With a Main Stage production going
at the same time, the production crew would not
be able to devote their energies to completing the
work.
To compensate for the loss of a winter production, the opening of the Main Stage fall production The 1940's Radio Hour: Chn'stmas Broadcast, has been moved back to Nov. 30.

renovation will make the theater ' 'more presentable." In addition to new floor coverings, and a
better lighting system, Hubbard hopes to add a
control booth for the light, sound, and stage
managers, with the Facilities Planning Board and
Fire Marshall's approval.
The work will also include upgrading the
visibility of the smaller theater and improving the
foyer area.
Originally built as a classroom/ performance
space, the Blue Door has evolved into a theater
solely for students. This year's Blue Door productions will be directed, produced, acted, and in
some cases written, entirely by LCC students.
According to Torelle, this is a unique experience for most students at the community college level. It will not only benefit student actors,
but will also provide '' design students with an opportunity to design, and our directing students
with an opportunity to direct, which otherwise
they would not have until they were in graduate
school," says Torelle.
Despite the inconvenience of a poor seating
configuration, the popularity of the Blue Door
has grown so much that another show has been
added to the run of the fall play, The
Woolgatherer. The next season promises to be
even more enjoyable for theater-goers with the
improvements that are being made.

Faculty dance auditions upcoming
by Mary Kathleen Browning
Torch Entertainment Editor

LCC 's Dance Faculty is hosting auditions for
Mix-T-Motions, the annual faculty dance concert,
Saturday, Nov. 18.
The audition is open to community members
and LCC students with some dance experience.
Those interested are invited to try out for a part in
the performance. It will be held in the auxilary
gym, P.E. 101 at the college.
"We're encouraging dancers to come just for
the experience of auditioning, '' says Dance Assis-

tant Vicki Gooch.
The audition will be held from 10 a.m. to
noon. Everyone who plans to dance is asked to bring a resume of his or her dance experience. A list
of available times for performance rehearsals is
also requested.
The LCC Dance Faculty will review the auditions, select the dancers, and then choreograph
the dance for the performance.
The performance dates for Mix-T-Motions are
set for March 30 and 31.

LCC 's Chamber Choir was
forced to give up an opportunity to perform with the Manhattan Philharmonic Orchestra
because of an _ inability to
generate the neccessary funds.
The choir received an invitation in late October to perform
with other community college
choirs at Carnegie Hall in New
York City in June, 1990.
The choir's director, Dan
Sachs said the problem was the
invitation came too late to
finance the event. The
estimated cost for the crosscountry trip was $22,500.
Sachs said the money would
have been expected sometime
this November, which didn't
allow enough time to search for
available capital.
According to Sachs, although
the administration expressed a
genuine interest in seeing the
choir go to New York, they were
unable to allocate the money
needed.
Because of the limited
timeline, the choir was not able
to seek outside funding. Sachs
was forced to relay to one of the
event's organizers Will Kesling,
an associate conductor for the
Manhattan Philharmonic, that

the choir would not be able to
come.
Kesling, a former community
college instructor himself, extended a tentative invitation to
Sachs and the Choir to perform
at Carnegie Hall in 1991, the
year of the hall's centennial.
Sachs says that he feels that
Kesling sensed the genuine interest of the Chamber Choir in
this opportunity, and that is
why he re-extended an invitation for next year.
Sachs said that this situation
is unique for the choir because
it is more a recognition of the
choir than an invitation.
The choir plans to try and
raise the necessary money for
the trip to New York in a yearand-a-half. It is considering the
possibility of holding an auction, or combined auction/raffle to generate funds.

so, Gill says the meters will work to the
students' advantage.
''Besides being an income source, the
meters promote turnover,'' Gill says.
With the installation of meters, students
driving into those lots will have a greater
chance of finding an available spot.
Aspinwall-Lamberts agrees. Citing a
DTC parking survey conducted in April,
1988, she notes that over half of the
students reported that they attend the
DTC for three hours a day or less, and 20
percent are only at the DTC for a period
of two hours a day. These students were
not finding avaiable parking.
Aspinwall-Lamberts, citing the same
parking survey, also notes that many
DTC students ride the bus to school, and
thus are not concerned with parking.

associated with the meters may arise. The
