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. by Devan Wilson Torch News Editor 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 turn to Parking meter, page 12 • Volleyball, cross country update page 9 • 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 Ready, aim, shoot photo by Chad Boutin 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. turn to Presidents, page 5 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 turn to Le Petit Adret, page 8 EDITORIALS 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 Page 2 November 10, 1989 Ben P. Tryba 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 you are having coffee or wattelevision. the ching 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). The Torch • 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, Monica, Amnesty International.' That letter saved my life." The next public Amnesty International meeting will be held at the Eugene Public Library Lecture Room on Monday, Nov. 20, at 7 p.m. If you are willing to help people or would like further information, please take pan in our meeting. Kunimitsu Yamamoto 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. Gregl. Colt 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.

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. '' Ray Needham Jimmie Downing Student involvement in running the college, and participatory management in general are ''neccessary, now . . . it probably always was," he said. "If (a Gerard Berger • Decision making 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.

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, ext. 2662 . '' A disabled person is just like any other p says Delores May, coordinator of the Disabled Services on the LCC Campus. '' People always assume that because a pe disabled, he or she can 't do things other pe do.

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.'' photo by Deborah Pickett Disabled students Shirley Jones and Delores Concha, from the Work Activity Center, take time out to pose for a photo. 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. A student whose range of motion is restricted for hands or arms can utilize universal cuffs in which pencils are inserted. allow 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 by Coleen Ebert Torch Staff Writer photo by Chad Boutin How does a blind mother with children handle the daily responsibilities that confront her?

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.'' Two members of the Lowriders go one-on-one.

"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. continued from page 2 ASLCC fund drive and provides food to 62 agencies who in turn feed the To the Editor: I would like to give your readers some information that they may not know.

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.

Volleyball NWAACC play-off Men's cross country team takes high hopes to NWAACC Championships in Seattle chances stuffed by SWOCC by Paul Morgan by Thatcher Trombley Torch Sports Editor Torch Sports wn·ter ~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 Meet the Titans members of our squad do well, then we will be right in the with the top three,'' says Scott Loughney, a freshman from Pullman, WA. The Titans toughest competition will come from Highline Community College, and 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. LCC has broken into the Cougars' top five only once this PRESENTEDBY ''Winning a championship would be great, but it's what you did to get there,' ' explains Meyers. LCC 's top runners are the top seven finishers from the regional meet. Ulrich, Leblow, Loughney, Glenn Megargel, Glen McGuire, Dan Tatum, and Chris Johnson will compete in the meet for the Titans. !Li.1.11~ THE FAMILY, JEWELS ~t~ QUIET ON THE SET!

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.

"j. ~ ~ ,November 10, 1989 , .Th-e Xorch 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. Four LCC instructors were included in the 40 artists chosen from throughout Oregon for the Third Biennial Sculpture In- vitational.

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. Assistant Production Manager Wanted!

''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. photo by Michael Primrose Parking meters at DTC. However, Gill realizes that problems associated with the meters may arise.
