'Things£ ., I right' as Moskus named President
Unanimous vote ends 74-month search
by Devan Wilson
Torch News Editor

People from all over campus vie for a chance to talk with Dr. Jerry
Moskos during his final pre-selection visit on Dec. 15. 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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

area connected with peace'' says

Student combats animal testing
by Terry Asher
Torch Staff Writer

A cruel and painful death is
imposed daily on thousands of
animals used in unnecessary
testing of cosmetic and
household products and the
process must be stopped, claims
an LCC animal rights activist.
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

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

often caused by faulty political

• 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.

• 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.

• While looking through an LCC catalog, scanning the

eye.
''I saw Mechanics and I jumped right on it,'' he says. ''I want
to be an automotive technician.''
In his second and final year, McLaughlin will graduate this
spring with a two-year certificate in Automotive Technology.
Kotsakis, says employment prospects in the field are good, with
requests for LCC to fill positions coming from employers both

enough graduates to fill the requests we have, " he says.
However, Mclaughlin says after graduation he may continue
his education, perhaps at Blue Mountain CC in Pendleton. He
says he would like develop his skills in computer technology as it
relates to today's new cars.
Those interested in having their cars repaired by Auto Tech
students should contact Bob Githens , ext. 2388. Repairs are
made for free , though the customer does pay for parts.
• Irene Sindelar, a second year student in the Food Service and
Hospitality program, says, ''There is so much more excitment to
cooking than just cooking." 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.' ' Among the
employment opportunities available to program graduates
Keahola says are hotel management positions, cook and pastry
baking positions, and dining room management positions.

• Working as a dental assistant was a good job, and had its
positive aspects , but Angie Bayless wasn't satisfied. She wanted
more. Studying dental hygiene at Linn-Benton CC, she aquired
the qualifications necessary for a dental assistant, but , ''I always
wanted to go on and become a dental hygienist," she says.
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.
Sharon Hagan , coordinator of the Dental Hygiene program ,
predicts successful graduates should have little problem finding
a job. "There is a severe shortage of dental hygienist jobs
through the U.S. ," she says. "There are some very good opportunities in the state of Oregon." She says there were about 2-3
job opportunities for last year's program graduates.
Says Bayless, ''I think (all the program graduates) have a good
chance at employment wherever we locate. ' '

Oregon and Independence Bowl save each other
While gorging myself on
college football bowl games on
the first of the year, I couldn't
help thinking back to my experience at the Independence
Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana,
Dec. 16.
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.

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.
The Titans jumped out to a commanding
10-0 lead in the first 1: 15 of the game and never
looked back. Kellie Stonelake led the Lady
Titans in scoring and overall with 21 points.
''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.
Other standouts in the game were Stacy Jepson with 10 points and nine assists; Sue Foster

13 points, three assists; Kristi Potter nine points,
one assist; Tanya Travess five points, four assists;
and Harrington with 14 points.
The Titans have played most of the nonleague season on the road (nine games), while
going 8-4. LCC is currently ranked eighth in the
Northwest Athletic Association of Community
Colleges poll.
''Getting ready for the league season is our
main priority,'' said Loos.

Titan men hold offNCC rally to capture Invitational
LCC embarks on league season with 8-4 mark
by Paul Morgan
Torch Sports Editor

Titan Men's Head Basketball
Coach Dale Bates recorded the
398th win of his care~r as his
team held off a late Northwest
Christian College rally for a
65-62 victory Dec. 30, and the
championship of the Lane Invitational Tournament.
The victory at home gives
LCC an 8-4 record heading into
the league season -- which
begins Jan. 3 at Southwestern
Community College -- and
avenged an early season 77 -70
loss to the Crusaders, a local
rival.
''It was a good way to end the
first season,'' said Head Coach
Dale Bates, who collected his
last win of the decade and moved two games closer to the 400
win plateu.

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.
NCC tied the game a few
seconds later when post player
Harold Michuad took a pass
from Sand and banked in a shot
from inside the key.
The tie was short-lived,
however.
Eric Obee, who finished with
14 points and eight rebounds,
pulled down an offensive re-

Ba_tes takes shot at 400 wins
by Paul Morgan
Torch Sports Editor

LCC basketball Head Coach Dale Bates has a chance to collect the 400th win of his college basketball coaching career
when the Titans face Chemeketa Community College Saturday, Jan. 6 at LCC.
The Titans overcame early mistakes and a 10-point deficit
and crushed Southwestern Oregon CC, 76-60, to give Bates a
chance to win his 400th game at home. LCC (9-4, 1-0) plays
Chemeketa,CC (12-4, 1-0) at 8 p.m., with the women's game
starting at 6 p.m.
Bates has been honored as Coach of the Year three times in
his career; 1975-76, 1982-83, and last year, when he coached
the Titans to a 16-11 record and a spot in the-Southern Division play-offs. He has a record of 288-182 at LCC.
If the Titans can not beat Chemeketa on Saturday night,
then Bates will have another chance to win the game against
Umpqua CC Jan. 10 at 8 p.m.
"They are both tough teams," explained Bates. "I hope I
win it at home.''

back in to give the Titans a
64-62 lead.
Then the Titans began to
work the clock. LCC took the
ball into the back-court to stall
after NCC missed a shot, but
Obee lost the ball and was called for going back over the midcourt line.
After a Crusader time-out
with 2 5 seconds left, Miller stole
the ball at mid-court and was
fouled.
But Miller missed the first
shot of the one-and-one and
NCC came down with the rebound. Time-out Crusaders.
But NCC's inbounds was
thwarted by the Titans and the
ball carreened out of bounds off
of the Crusaders with 0: 12 remaining. 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.

Free legal service
available
by Jesse Voris
for the Torch

The free legal service funded by the
ASLCC is off to a record setting pace.
According to ASLCC Legal Services
Secretary, Bette Dorris, approximately
250 students have been helped with their
legal problems during fall term term .
The service can assist students in many
aspects of the law , however it cannot
help in areas that are contested or are a
conflict of interest. A contested legal
matter arises when two parties in question do not agree on what the outcome
of the action should be. A conflict of interest would be if one LCC student
wanted to use the legal service against
another Lane student.
Ed Butler, the attorney for ASLCC
Legal Services said, "We're in an interesting position because we represent
all students. ' '
In circumstances where the legal ser-

In their journals, students reflected on

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.

Jerry Sirois, president of the
LCC Employee Federation says
Moskus ''looked like an independant thinker. He looked
me in the eyes and I saw the
kind of person who's going to
work well with all people.''
Moskus is married with five
children, their ages ranging
from 12 to 19 years. His wife,
Virginia Loftus, is the executive
director of district administration at Des Moines Area CC.
Moskus says his wife is not currently planning to seek a similar
position at LCC.
Moskus' hobbies include
golf, walking, and painting
watercolors.

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.

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.
