Three days later the board named him LCC's new president. Jerry Moskus, currently the vice presid~nt of educational services at Des Moines Area Community College in Ankany, Iowa, was appointed president of LCC in a unanimous vote by the LCC Board of Education Dec. 18. The announcement ended a 14-month search that began when former president Richard Turner resigned to become president at Nashville State Technical Institute in Nashville, Tenn. The 47-year-old Moskus will begin service as LCC president on March 1. Terms of his contract include a salary of $73,500 -- the same salary Turner received -- and a benefit package which includes a tax sheltered annuity worth $4,800 a year, use of an automobile, and a gasoline credit card for business purposes. ' 'There are times when things just feel right,'' Moskus said after his appointment. ''This is one of those times. '' Moskus said that during his two visits to LCC he found he shares the same values and concerns held by faculty, classified, administrative. staff, and students at LCC. ''We' re all community college people who are interested in providing for student success, and I just feel that I fit right into that group of people,'' Moskus said. In addition to providing for students' success, Moskus said he is concerned about '' com batting the kind of isolation that students can find themselves in on a community college campus." He said students need access to student support services and need assistance in making the correct career choices. Moskus has extensive background in the community college system: As a student, instructor, and administrator, he has experienced the full range of community college education. He began his career as an administrative assistant to the president of Lincoln Land CC in Springfield, Ill. He moved into the administrative ranks, becoming the college's vice president of academic services in 1984. He was hired by Des Moines Area CC in 1985. Moskus said these different community college experiences have provided him with an advantage. ' 'I think having had all those perspectives I have a better picture than if I had just been one type of administrator, or never been a student.'' The appointment of Moskus has drawn praise from various contstituencies on campus. Shonly after the announcement, Board of Education Chair Larry Perry said ''It feels good to have finished the process . . . and to have hired such an extraordinarily suited candidate,'' according to a report by the Register-Guard. Says ASLCC President Andy Harris, ''I think he is the type of person that people will want to work for. I trust that Dr. Moskus will truly hold participatory management at a high level of importance.'' '' At this time participatory management and shared governance are a notion on this campus,'' adds ASLCC Treasurer Ivan Frishberg. ''I think Jerry Moskus has the leadership Turn to President, page 11 LCC Athletic Director requests $60,684 in funds for athletics Foster says survival of athletics may be at stake by Paul Morgan Torch Sports Editor LCC Athletic Director Bob Foster presented to the LCC Board the' 'bottom line'' for the survival of athletics. Foster stated in the Dec. 8 presentaion that the Athletic Department needs a general fund increase of at least $60,684 to ensure the survival of all of the sports currently offered at LCC -- men's and women's basketball, cross country and track; men's baseball, and women's volleyball. ' 'That's just the bottom line, '' explained Foster. ''It's just a base -- no frills. "Right now, we're just running the program, but we are not where we should be.'' Board members Peter Sorenson and Cindy " ... we are not where we should be." AD Bob Foster Weeldreyer requested the report so the board could better understand the state of athletics at LCC. Foster said the college has provided a net increase of only $15,541 in general fund money over the past decade to the current $187,985. While the sports budget reached a high of $237,590 in 1984-85, it has been trimmed back in almost every fiscal year since that date. Foster's requested $60,684 budget increase would make it possible to hire a part-time athletic trainer ($10,842); an intrumural coordinator ($10,842), a job which Foster now handles; and pay increases for the part-time and assistant coaches ($7,000). It would also increase funding support for all sports ($18,000), for equipment maintenance ($10,000), and for transportation ($4,000). He told the board many LCC coaches receive less pay than a number of coaches in the high school ranks, and that inflation has increased the costs for travel, equipment, and medical supplies. During his presentation Foster compared LCC to other community colleges in Oregon and around the US. He said LCC is unable to compete with the programs which offer scholarships to student athletes, and pointed out that LCC's is the only community college athletic department required to raise its own scholarship funds. When asked this week if his proposal was an ultimatum to fund or cut athletics, Foster replied, ''It is not yet an ultimatum. Originally, that was our approach, but it's not that time yet." Foster concludes that without the money, the future of athletics at LCC looks bleak at best. photo by Deborah Pickett Dancers show off steps Fun is the key word for LCC dance students.

EDITORIALS Campus wide, people get involved to direct destiny of college by Michael Omogrosso Torch Editor The changes which herald the last decade of the most fast-paced century yet force the body politic to stop a moment and assess the condition of its being. By far the most significant aspect noted is people the world over commandering the power to direct their destiny, and new, charismatic leaders stepping forward to focus and nurture that power. Lane Community College, as well, participates in this state of change. From grounds keepers to secretaries, from teachers to students, the college's community members are reaching out for the reins of power in a form of participatory management developing at Lane . And, to help focus that power, the college recently selected a former English instructor turned administrator, Dr. Jerry Moskus, as LCC's new president. While the Torch does extend a hearty welcome to Dr. Moskus, it is those people who took the time to become involved in the selection committee, took the time to meet with the seven semi-finalists for question and answer sessions, and took the time to give personal feedback on each candidate to the LCC Board of Education that the Torch wishes to congratulate. Fourteen months ago the process to attract the right person to the LCC preside·ncy began and it began with emphasis on the word "right." At that time the college was in a state of internal turmoil perhaps more threatening than the dark fiscal clouds hovering above. Dr. Richard Turner, president of LCC for two years, resigned. His term in office brought few smiles; his departure, few tears. But, by many accounts, when Turner was selected to the presidency the feeling was, "Here's someone with whom we can work.'' And, although the selection process then was also rigorous enough to ensure a well qualified finalist, Turner's authoritative style of management rubbed his constituency raw . Enter the qualifier ''RIGHT'' in bold lettering to the criterion check list this time around. At question and answer sessions during the first visitation by semi-finalists to the campus, it was not uncommon to hear the same question on issues of management style asked in two or three different ways, and, if the response was not clear, further explanation was requested. From seven in the morning, until 10:30 at night, each candidate was under constant inspection intended to insure that the selected candidate would indeed be ''RIGHT''. Time is the only true litmus test to determine if the choice of Dr. Moskus was indeed correct. In any event, the choice to be involved is the "RIGHT" choice for the people of LCC and the world, particularly in these times of change. Count Russell Anton makes fantastic predictions for 1990 by Carl Mottle Torch Staff Wn"ter Dear Dr. Decorum: I had a great vacation and now I'm ready to return to school. I've noticed •that with the new year some people have been making predicitions about events likely to happen in the year to come. Do you have any predictions? Moonchild Kennedy Dear Moonchild: I am glad that you are rested and enthused about coming back to school. I don't have any predictions myself, however I have called on my good friend and mystic seer Count Russell Anton to make some predictions. Count Anton is the person who so accurately forecast the break-up of Sean and Madonna and the continued high cost of text books. Here are his predictions: • Dr. Jerry Moskus, the experience significant tremors during the week of March 12 17. Damage will be limited to a few cumulative averages. • Manuel Noriega will claim a Dr. Decorum by Carl Mottle President-elect of Lane Community College, will be pursued by myth-starved fans claiming him to be Elvis Presley. This belief will be reluctantly abandoned after co-workers testify, "He's more than just the King of Rock and Roll!" • The LCC student body will call from God and express the desire to become a priest. • The increase on the national debt and the total cost of health care in the United States will be equal this year. • A major crippling budgetary crisis is declared solved when the administration takes bold actions to change its accounting practices. • South America goes into receivorship, and a bidding war erupts between Donald Trump and Japanese investors. • Many Americans will complete great works of fiction this year. They will all be titled Federal Income Tax Form 1040. • A female member of the cafeteria staff will be romantically linked with Robert Downey Jr., Jon Bon Jovi, and Tom Cruise. • A new study of sexual practices in the United States will be published this year and graphically illustrated with excerpts from day time soap operas, MTV videos, and assorted commercial adver- tisements. • A radical new comedy/ drama television show will air this season. It features a middle-aged black coach with a medical degree who works parttime in law enforcement and donates time to his church. He's tough, traditional, and sensitive. His bride, a former single mother, is a sensual assertive woman who has a career in the media. Their two daughters and son are a clothes crazy bimbo, a shy intellectual, and a wisecracking, money hungry, trouble maker -- not necessarily in that order. All their friends are neurotic. Time will tell the accuracy of these predictions. Dr. D LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks expressed To the Editor: I would like to express the appreciation of my entire family for a Thanksgiving feast made possible by Kay and the Health Occupations staff. Also many thanks to Marna and Campus Ministries. Financial crisis has such a negative effect that (this kind of crisis) creates a feeling of humiliation and isolation. It is comforting to realize that people do care and are willing to give of their time to lift the spirits of those who temporarily are suffering hardships.

Says Chris Walsh, a student in the class, ' 'The last few times (Boyer) made it very apparent how everything we do throughout the money system comes back into our peace system and how that's going to affect global peace. '' by Megan Guske Torch Staff Writer '' Action is the antidote to despair.'' Uttered by popular singersongwriter Joan Baez at the height of the '60s' ''Peace and Love" movement, this idea is still very much alive in LCC 's ''Trends in Peace Studies'' class. Taught by English instructor Jerome Garger through the Social Science Department, the course employs a ''futuristic perspective' ' to examine issues such as poverty, and ecocide. The course also examines human rights, 21st century economics, and transitions to the future, with the intent of allowing students to evaluate media sources with objectivity, informed skepticism, and curiosity. The structural causes of violence, namely the war system, are examined as well. ''Our international world is far behind in the way we settle conflicts within nations,'' says Garger. The course was offered for the first time this fall. Enrollment surpassed expecations with about 10 students being turned away from the class of 35 students. Garger says the winter term session has also filled to capacity. 'Peace Studies' students share ideas during a group discussion. He says he received inspiration and support for the class from a variety of sources, including interim-President Jack Carter and Vice President oflnstruction Jacquelyn Belcher. group discussions, and kept a journal. "It was an awakening experience," says Erin Naillon, a student in the fall term session, ''learning about aspects of peace that I wasn't aware of before.'' The first guest lecturer was political science instructor Joe Kremers presenting a political science veiwpoint to the study of peace. ' '(Kremers) urged people to commit themselves to something and to find their own particular niche in some area connected with peace'' says Garger.

In a press conference held at LCC on Dec. 12, Jim Jarboe announced plans for organizing an animal rights group on the main campus and outlined a two-fold legislative program aimed at the total abolition of experiments on animals. Animal testing is a procedure he claims has outgrown its usefullness. He claims viable, non-lethal alternatives are available. OnJan. 12, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.,Jarboe will present a slide show at the Student Resource Center, on the second floor of the Center Building and talk about the issue of animal testing. He will also relate his attempt to place on the Oregon ballot a measure to abolish all animal experiments involving product testing within the state of Oregon, and to ban the sale of products by companies which continue to use animal testing in their labs. For Jarboe, all this is a "matter of ethics. How," he asks, "is it right for us to not deal with it?" Jarboe lists Lethal Dose-SO Percent (LDS0) and the Drazine Test as examples of the inhumane and unnecessary tests inflicted on unwilling animals. LD50 involves injecting toxic substances into a group of test animals with the intent of kill- ing half the group to measure a chemical's toxicity. In the Orazine Test, a liquid, flake, granule or powdered substance is dropped into the eyes of albino rabbits, again to test a chemical's damage to living body tissue. Jarboe asserts that there are viable alternatives to every test, and that current technology should allow all companies to go beyond animal testing to computer state-of-the-art model tests and tests on cell tissue cultures. According to Jarboe, no animal need be harmed again. tionship between economics and peace, and the way in which economic decisions always have their prices. Local attorney Jim Melamed, a nationally known mediator, spoke about the role of a mediator and the affects of mediation in a peace-making process. William Boyer, the author of the Peace Studies text Amen·ca 's A five-class segment on world hunger was presented by nutrition instructor Beth Naylor. The project began by discussing some of the myths about hunger in different parts of the world, followed by a series of exercises in the computer lab that, according to Garger, clearly disproves the myths. The exercises showed that hunger is often caused by faulty political decisions and mismanaged distribution of food. At the end of the segment the students were served meals according to a geographical region and economic catagory they had studied. "On the last day of classes (Naylor) brought in a meal.

The Torch January 5, 1990 Page 5 Vocational Clarence Stichler, Diesel Technology Photos by Deborah Pickett Interviews by Devan Wilson • Clarence Stichler is not a stranger to the LCC Mechanics program. He first studied automotive mechanics at LCC between 1974 and 1976, and later owned his own automotive shop for six years, running his business by day while working graveyard shifts at Georgia Pacific. But now, circumstances have brought Stichler back to the LCC mechanics program; this time to study as a diesel automotive technician. After 30 years as a lathe operator for G-P, mill closures left him without employment. He enrolled in the Dislocated Worker Program and resumed his study of mechanics fall term. Stichler says he will complete diesel training in June, 1990, and then continue to complete the general academics requirements needed to earn an associate of science degree. Calling diesel mechanics an "up-and-coming" industry, Stichler feels confident that employment opportunities will be available upon graduation. Department Chair Ted Kotsakis agrees. "We haven't had any problem placing people in the program within the field,'' Kotsakis says. Stichler offers praise to the program, and especially instructor Daryl Jossart. "He knows what he is teaching," Stichler says. w1 er • While on a campus tour.John Eccleston was particularily intrigued by the Aviation Maintainance program. So much so that after training as an aviation maintainance technician in the Navy, he decided to continue his education at LCC. "The program (at LCC) is supposed to be pretty good," he says. He will graduate from the program in the fall of 1990 with an associate of science degree in Aviation Maintainance. Kotsakis says graduates must then pass a Federal Aviaiton Association test to be licenced as an Airframe and Powerplane Maintainance Technician. After graduation, Eccleston should have little problems finding employment. Kotsakis says the industry is "booming," and that program graduates are easily placed within the industry, although few opportunities are available in the Eugene/ Springfield area. as h: • While looking through an LCC catalog, scanning the available class choices, something caught Tracy McLaughlin's eye. ''I saw Mechanics and I jumped right on it,'' he says. ''I want to be an automotive technician.''

But, she adds, "Lots more than cooking and baking goes on here.'' She says there is a family at,mosphere in the program. A mother of nine kids, Sindelar was visiting from Hawaii, ' 'Searching for something other than what I was doing, which was home care nursing. " She went to the Downtown Center to make some inquiries, and soon was talking to Department Head Willie Keahola. ''Before I knew it I was in the program,'' she says. "I really enjoy the hands-on of the baking and cooking." Sindelar will graduate from the program this spring with an associate of science degree. After graduation she says she will have a number of options, including opening her own shop. Keahola says, ''The future looks •bright (for program graduates)." He says in the future there will be "a million opportunities for people coming out of the program.'

Bayless decided to return to school and resume her dental training. She says she chose LCC due to it's proximity, but has found the training she is receiving to be excellent.

I thought about the millions of dollars paid out to the teams playing in the New Year 's Day bowl games; about the players show-boating after every tackle and touchdown, and basking in the glow of a national television spotlight; and about the priceless media coverage each team received, win or lose. There were few of those benefits from the Independence Bowl. Shreveport is a depressed town -- the oil tycoons have long since departed -- and one can see businesses boarded over in many areas, skeletons of the prosperous fifties and sixties. The bowl itself has fallen on hard times since its inaugural game in 1976. Attendance has decreased, and aiack of local interest threatens its future. But then came the nearly 5,000-person contingent from Oregon -- all carrying with them 26 years of bottled-up enthusiasm -- and Shreveport seemed to come alive. Quickly, local spirit swelled for the game between Oregon and Tulsa. A casual poll revealed Oregon as the local favorite (one bar owner said confidently that he had placed bets on Oregon plus 16 points -- he was just slightly dissappointed Sports Rag by Paul Morgan after the game). The temperature was below freezing at game time, yet the biggest crowd in many years witnessed Oregon's 27-24 victory. Yes, it was a game the Ducks could have won easily, but at least they won. Though this match was forgotten by the time the major bowl games rolled on to our TV screens, one fact is evident: the 1989 Independence Bowl and the Oregon Athletic Department had saved each other. The Independence Bowl committee gave th~ Ducks an ever elusive bowl bid, and Oregon gave Shreveport an economic shot in the · arm and helped it regain pride in the game that keeps it on the map. • Where are my ear plugs? I also made the trek down to New Orleans to see the Dec. 18 Monday Night Football game between the Saints and the Philadelphia Eagles in the SuperDome -- the first NFL football game I had seen live. I was impressed with the enthusiasm of the fans during a game which had no playoff implications. There was also a feeling of importance about a Monday night game witnessed by much of the nation -- kind of like a play-off game. The 60,000-plus stadium audience made more noise than I had ever heard at a sporting event -- with the possible exception of Mac Court in the 70s. But then, also making noise, were the commercials played on the big screen TVs during the time-outs. Not only did I have to pay $25 to sit in the third deck, but the commercials were played so loud I couldn't talk to the person sitting next to me. At least at home I have a mute button.

Junior League of Eugene The Thrift & Gift Shop High Quality Resale Clothing & Household Items LCC Lady Titans whipped a young Lady Rangers team from Olympic CC, 92-54, in the only women's basketball home game over Christmas break.

''It's a big adjustment from high school to college playing against pretty tough ball clubs,'' believes OCC head coach Dusty Anchors. The Lady Rangers are all first year freshman. "We lost two starters due to (graduates) who averaged 18 points a game and replaced them with a pair who average four points a game,'' said Anchors. Titans players Kelly Harrington and Wendy Manis combined for seven offensive rebounds that were good for 14 points. ' 'They got the first shot garbage and were in the right place at the right time," stated LCC head coach Dave Loos. '' Almost everybody scored today,'' he said.

The Titans dominated the Crusaders through most of the game, although NCC managed to creep back into it near the end. With 3:24 left in the game LCC guard Doug Piquette fouled NCC forward Matt Sand, the Tournament Most Valuable Player, who sank two of his game high 22 points from the line to pull the Crusaders within two, 62-60.

LCC got the ball inbounds to John Dalke who was immediately fouled. Dalke sank the first of two free throws to give the Titans the winning margin. LCC began the game using the fast break. But after building a lead of nine points early on, the Titans slowed down and concentrated on working the ball around for a good shot. Defensively the Titans successfully forced the Crusaders to use their perimeter game, and it worked through the first half as the Titans built a 40-31 lead. But a 10-0 Crusader run in the second half tied the game at 47 all with 13 minutes to go. NCC Head Coach Jeff Rodenburg was dissappointed with his team's performance in the first half. ''We tried to make them do some things on the perimeter so we used our zone to try and pack things in a bit, but we were pretty lazy in the first half," he explained. ' 'We had no choice in the second half but to switch to manto-man," said Rodenburg. "I was concerned because they were quicker, and maybe better athletes than us. But our guys came to play in the second half.'' Piquette, who was named to the all tournament team, was pleased with the Titan's effort, but feels his team still has some work ahead.

CENTER 242 OR CALL, EXT. 2850 CWE program offers experiences abroad by Terry Asher Torch Staff Wn"ter How would you like to spend your summer employed as a publicist in Thailand, or working with children at an orphanage in Mexico? Or perhaps instructing teachers in conversational English in rural China is more to your liking. All of these positions, and others in Japan, Great Britain, the Philippines and West Germany, are available to qualified students through a Work Study Program coordinated by LCC with the Northwest International Education Association's International Cooperative Eduacation program. Program Coordinator Peggy Marston spoke with interested students on Nov. 28, promoting the benefits and pointing out the pitfalls involved in committing to a summer of work abroad. "I feel exposure to foreign cultures is essential to being well-educated,'' Marston stated. "This program offers students just one way to obtain that experience. But it takes a financial and emotional commitment on the part of the student. And the summer is no bed of roses. Problems always arise. But if you can handle it, it's more than worthwhile.'' The selection process begins with an application form which asks students to indicate the country in which they wish to work, and the three job descriptions or types of work for which they are applying. Not all jobs or countries require proficiency in the native language, and this is also a major factor in job selection. These applications must be submitted to the school coordinator by Jan. 22. If accepted into the program, the studnets are then offered employment in their chosen country. The jobs last from six to 10 weeks, beginning in the middle ofJune and lasting through August. The monthly stipend depends entirely on the position and country, ranging from no stipend with free room and board to Bird carvings on display $1, 700 per month. Although housing with host families will be provided whenever possible, there are instances where the students must pay for the room and board from the stipend provided. The student is also required to attend a Cooperative Education credit course offered spring quarter at LCC which focuses on the culture and work ethic of the country chosen. The cost to students varies with each country. The fees range from $1,336 for West Germany to $1,861 for China, and include the cost of round-trip airfare from Seattle. In addition, it is recommended that students have from $500-600 in cash. This program is not for the fainthearted Marston asserted. Some students from previous programs didn't fullfill their commitment and returned early. But as a living, working, learning experience it is unique, and an opportunity shared by only a few. Stop, look and admire, but please don't bother feeding the birds on display in the Learning Resourse Center (campus library) during January. Although they may appear ready to take flight, they were, in fact, carved by LCC English Instnictor Peter Jensen and his carving mentor, Florence Johnson. The two-case display, just inside the reference desk entrance, spans traditional New England miniatures, endangered birds from Oregon's ancient forests, a model of the extinct, first feathered dinosaur, and common game and non-game birds. Presidential search sets tone for the future of LCC by Devan Wilson Torch News Editor The most extensive presidential search ever conducted by LCC, involving officials from many campus groups, was a prelude to the system of participatory management that many campus officials foresee for the future of LCC. Representatives from student groups, classified staff, faculty, and managem~nt- all aided the Board of Education in selecting who should lead LCC into the 90 's by providing the board members with feedback on the candidates. Representatives from these groups also joined three board members in visitations to the campuses of the finalists. Officials from the visited campuses praised LCC for involving such a diverse representation of campus constituencies, according· to Pat Dickover, a classified staff member included in the visitation party. '' I heard praise at two or three (of the) places (visited)," Dickover says. This involvement also drew praise from those involved in the search. ASLCC President Andy Harris says he appreciated the board's involvement of the many campus groups in the decision. ''I feel they gave students as much weight as any other group on campus,'' he says. ''The thing I think was enlighting,'' says Dickover, ''was the fact that the search involved search so many groups and helped us to understand each other's needs. That was very enlightening to the board as well.'' Linda Riepe, who represented faculty in the visitation party, agrees with Dickover. She says while members of the party did have their own biases and interest, they were also concerned with the interests of the other groups. The involvement of the various representatives and concerns over the groups needs was clearly a success, members of the party say, as· the search resulted in two very strong finalists for the position. "I think the results speak for . themselves," says Harris.

Wilson's The Hand were among the pieces exhibited. photo by Deborah Pickett Local artists display works by Mary Kathleen Browning Torch Entertainment Editor Alison McNair and Craig Spilman are featuring their artwork in the LCC Art Department Gallery's first winter term show. The exhibit runs Jan 2throughJan. 26. McNair is a former LCC student and University of Oregon graduate who has exhibited her work in several shows throughout Oregon since 1985. An instructor at LCC since 1971, Spilman teaches drawing, printmaking, and design. He has exhibited his works throughout the West, as well as Australia and Hong Kong. Spilman earned a bachelor of arts degree from San Francisco State College, and a master of fine arts degree from Institute Allende, San Miguel de Allende, Leon Gaunajuato, Mexico. Both artists have shown their works in the Eugene Mayor's Art Show; McNair in 1987 and 1988, and Spilman in 1986, 1987, and 1988. According to McNair, "Making images affords me one of the most direct encounters that I can have with myself. It not only gives me access to my thoughts and feelings, but allows me to witness my thinking process.'' Spilman says about his work, ''The moments of excitement come when the activity on the paper or masonite begins to suggest directions and meaning seperate from, often minimally related to my original impulses.'' He says that this is 'especially true' of his painting, which he has recently begun to work with for the first time in twenty years. There will be a reception for McNair and Spilman in the gallery Friday, Jan. 5 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The Art Department Gallery is open Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Instructor shows art at Hult. Denali, LCC's literary and art magazine was one of five student publications to , win a first place award with special merit for its three 1988-89 publications from the American Scholastic Press Association (ASP A). The national contest was for community colleges with more than 2,500 students. It was the first year that Denali had entered the ASP A contest. LCC student Mervin Mecklenburg received special mention for his poetry in last year's Denali magazines. Current Denali editor, Della Lee, said, ''Denali is a very innovative magazine. I think it's amazing that we accomplish such a broad range of activities and do it so well that we receive national recognition on such a limited budget. ' ' According to Lee, Denali plans to produce an issue for winter term, to come out March 2. These plans are contingent on support from the ASLCC , however, as Dena/i's yearly budget only covers the publication costs of one issue at its current level of quality and size. The money was used for the production of the fall term's 24 page issue. Lee hopes to produce another 24 page magazine for the second issue . Denali is looking for art and photography submissions, in addition to literary submissions. The deadline for entries is Jan. 26. Denali has scheduled two special events for this term. Bi-monthly poetry readings on campus are planned as well as a commemorative art show for Denali 's 20th anniversary. The art show will be held Feb. 8 in the cafeteria of the center building. The art will be composed of works by artists published in past issues of Denali. Though the Denali staff would like to plan the publication of a third issue for this year, according to Lee, there is no funding to support such plans. Denali has applied to the National Endowment for the Arts for a grant in order to continue publication. Denali won't know until April if the neccessary funding will be granted, by that time production for the spring term issue would already need to be under way. "It would not be very professional to commit ourselves to anything without knowing if we could pay for it first," says Lee.
