Titans upset third-ranked Umpqua to give Bates 400th career victory by Paul Morgan Torch Sports Editor It took all they had, but the Titan men found the chemistry needed to give Head Coach Dale Bates career win No. 400. There were hugs and smiles on the Titan bench as Rick Miller sank two free throws with 8 seconds left to seal an exciting 61-57 upset over third-ranked Umpqua_ CC in a Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges game,Jan. 10, in front of one of the largest and loudest LCC crowds the Titans have seen all year. Bates was presented with a plaque after the game from the LCC Athletic Depanment to commemorate his 400th victory. "It was a good win ... it was sweet," said Bates. ''I knew it was going to come . . . but I guess I just thank the good Lord that I was healthy to coach this long. ''We played really well tonight, we're real happy.'' It was a big victory for the Titans, after an 81-64 drubbing at the hands of fifth-ranked Chemeketa in Bates' first bid for 400 wins Jan. 6. Furthermore, it ties LCC with Umpqua in seM.lrn to Bates, page 8 The first Board of Education meeting of the new year drew a packed house Wednesday evening, Jan. 10. The crowd, by and large, was gathered to protest aproposed tuition hike for the 1990/91 school year. The board eventually approved a hike that reduced the cost of a credit hour from $23.50 to $23, but charges for the twelfth credit, which raises the full-time tuition to $276, a 3.6 percent increase. Leading the challenge against an increase was ASLCC President Andy Harris. ''I'm willing to pay for my share of the tuition,'' said Harris, quailifying that he wanted to receive something for the hike. Harris further said the increase would be acceptable if there were guarantees to improve child care and if high demand classes would be accessible. Board member Chuck Ivey said no guarantees could be made. Interim-President Jack Carter added that no new funds will be availible and that the college is trying to just maintain current services. ASLCC Vice President Magdalene Ang expressed concern that foreign students were receiving unfair, disproportionate tuition hikes. Robert Marshall, vice president of Student Services, responded that even after the increase, the $1104 tuition for foreign students still would be below the highest Oregon community college international student tuition of $1272. Several other students spoke and a reoccurring theme was that already tight budgets of students, especially so for single parents, would be stretched too thin to continue school. While Board of Education Chair Larry Perry expressed sympathy for the problems increased school costs brings to the student, he said the board opted not to increase tuition last year. Board member and OSU ·journalism student Cindy turn to Board, page 5 Daughter of King to speak at annual MLK celebration by Devan Wilson Torch News Editor The choice today is not between violence and nonviolence. It is either nonviolence or non-existance. Martin Luther King Jr. Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Dec. 11, 1964 from The Great Thoughts compiled by George Se/des Highlighting -the Martin Luther KingJr. Celebration will be keynote speaker Yolanda King, eldest child of the slain civil rights leader. The Jan. 15 celebration will also feature performances by the Inspirational Sounds Gospel Choir, directed by John Gainer, and blues-artist Curtis Salgado. ASLCC Cultural Director Randy Brown, who is producing the event, says, ''It's going to be a uplifting event that celebrates the achievments of Dr. King rather than mourn his murder. With the dynamics of (Ms King's) speaking ability, coupled with the topic, it should be an inspirationally motivating evening. '' Born in Montgomery, Ala., Ms. King, an actress, producer and director, was a founding member of Christian Theatre Artists and has taught theatre to young people and college students. She presently serves as codirector of NUCLEUS, with Attallah Shabazz, the eldest child of Malcom X and Dr. Betty Shabazz. NUCLEUS, a company of performing artist dedicated to promoting positive energy through the arts, is currently touring high schools, colleges, churchs, and communities around the country. Ms. King also serves on the Board of Directors of The Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, Inc. -- the official national memorial to Dr. King -- and is director of The King Center's Cultural Affairs Program. She is also a lifetime member of the NAACP. This year's celebration has been organized ip. total by ASLCC, Brown says. This is ASLCC 's third year of involvement in the event, which began as a potluck sponsered by Honoring Our New Ethnic Youth, according to Brown. Brown credits Rico Perez, cutural director in 1987-89, for the development of the celebration. Brown says Perez took the event and "ran with it." turn to MLK, page 5 MLK Celebration keynote speaker, Yolanda King EDITORIALS ,, 'Join the movement,' and live 'the dream' by Devan Wilson Torch News Editor Dateline: Jan. 16, 1989. The capacity crowd is forced to evacuate the Hult Center due to a bomb threat. An hour later, the threat is determined to be a savage hoax and the lingen·ng crowd is allowed to re-enter the building. Martin Luther King III, the eldest son of Martin Luther King Jr., steps onto the stage in the Silva Concert Hall and is greeted by screams and thunderous applause. I wasn't at the Martin Luther King Celebration that night last January. My not attending was reflective of attitudes I possesed at the time: though concerned about issues of racial injustice and inequality -- and other pertinent issues facing America -- I never got involved in "the movement." Such issues, I thought, didn't have any impact on my own life, or any direct relation to my own existance. I never chose to take a stand. So, I was caught off-guard when the events of that night had such an enourmous impact on my life. Make committment to give year-round Forum by Ivan Frishberg ASLCC Treasurer, OSPIRG activist So you think the time for the holiday spirit of sharing is over. Take a walk by the river, stop in the Eugene Opportunity Shelter, or ask the people at Food for Lane County if the need has passed. For You and I, the season of giving probably ended a few weeks ago, but for thousands of men, women, and children around Lane County, the ' season of cold and insufferable hunger is only just beginning. At the end of last term, many students at LCC involved themselves in efforts to raise donations and awareness for the Eugene Opportunity Shelter and Food for Lane County. Combined with the work of others around Lane County, quite a bit was done to help feed, clothe, and shelter those in need. Unfortunately, it is not enough for thousands of people who won't be able to pay the rent to keep a safe roof over their heads, or feed themselves or their hungry families. The cold of winter is just setting in over Lane County and the Willamette Valley. The new year has already brought the death of a child from hypothermia. These problems continue year round and so should our involvement and commitment to solving them. If we, as students, don't make a year round commitment to making a dif- ference, then who will? As we educate ourselves, we take advantage of the world and its resources to bettec our own lot. In doing so, we acquire the responsibility to work towards bettering this world as well. so, in between classes, or for a few hours on the weekend, or whenever your work schedule permits, get involved. There are many ways on or off campus to become active in a variety of issues. Even an hour can make a difference. If we do not then another child will die, - more lives will be ruined, and we will all be as responsible then as we are now. Thanks to all those in ASLCC and OSPIRG for the work that you have done. LETTER TO THE EDITOR _ _ Thanks to Lane To the Editor: I would like to express my thanks to all the staff and students at Lane for the warm hospitality and openness extended to me during the recent selection process for the presidency of Lane Community College . It was an extraordinary opportunity for me to meet a lot of people who obviously care about Lane and its future. My wife also enjoyed meeting with you and appreciated the welcoming atmosphere of our day-long visit. I was disappointed that I was not selected; I had looked forward to working with the excellent staff and the energetic students that I met at Lane.

Page 2 January 12, 1990 The Torch I knew I was making a mistake by not attending the celebration. I had a gut feeling that it was going to be a special evening. And, after reading the Register-Guard the following morning, my "gut feeling" was confirmed. Over a thousand people had waited to re-enter the building; waited to hear the inspired words of Martin Luther King III; and united in support of a common cause. Over a thousand people had ''joined the movement.'' I was stunned -- not by the actions of the thousand-plus, but because I had again resisted ''joining the movement.'' Over 25 years earlier Martin Luther King Jr. had proclaimed to a crowd of 200,000 in Washington D.C., "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal' . ' ' King's life was halted by a single shot from an assassin's rifle. King's ''dream,'' however, survived -- in the hearts and souls of the masses. Seeing the survival of King's dream among fellow students and members of the community was the catalyst for change in my life No more watching from the sidelines, no more assuming I wasn't affected by issues such as racial equality. My time to "join the movement" had come. Just on the fringes at first -- attending rallies on US involvement in El Salvador, taking a stand on AIDS, taking a stand on racial injustice -- but still a beginning. My involvment continues to grow on a daily basis as my calling to journalism provides me an avenue to inform and perhaps educate. I would like to urge all to attend this year's MLK celebration, which like last year's, also promises to be a special evening. With the 75-member Insprirational Sounds Gospel Choir, bluesman Curtis Salgado, and keynote speaker Yolanda King, eldest child of Martin Luther King Jr., the place should be "rockin'." Attend, and ''join the movement.'' By uniting towards the cause of equality among all people, one day we will truly be able to proclaim as did Dr. King, ''Free at last, free at last! Thank God Almighty we are free at last!"

LCC students to restore Springfield Railroad Depot by Kim Smith for the Torch LCC Construction Technology. students are helping restore the 100 year-old Springfield Railroad Depot. The City of Springfield decided to save the depot because of its historical value . The main building was constructed in 1891 and is one of the oldest buildings in Oregon representing the Early Victorian style. Moved in September from its old location along the Southern Pacific railroad line near 2nd and South A Streets to the corner of Second and South A Streets, it now stands 10 to 15 feet off the ground on "stilts" for purposes of correcting dry rot damage. LCC instructor Hal Davis coordinates and supervises 18 to 20 LCC construction students who work on each phase of the remodeling, including removal and replacement of the roof, interior, and exterior reconstruction, and painting the exterior. The pricetag for the restoration is between $100,000 and $250,000. The Springfield Depot Foundation, a non-profit organization, has assumed responsibility for securing donations of cash and materials from businesses and individuals in the community, according to Cynthia Pappas of the City Manager's Office. No tax dollars will be used for the project, confirmed Pappas. LCC students earn credit for their supervised labor, says Davis, and also receive the satisfaction of bettering the community. ''This is a great opportunity for the students because we rarely get to work on restoration. Fortunately, we are starting to see more of it every year." Completion is not expected until next year, depending on available materials and labor. Once complete, the depot will house offices, and a conference room to be used for public meetings, performances, and exhibits. ~ ,..._,7,..•• _,:+ ""-:. - ~ .,, ,.,,, .,J, ~--, ,/'- -r;:-- - ~-·~··•,,,»,.-,.-.- , -~;,·.-. photo by Deborah Picken Construction Technology instructor Hal Davis looks on as Phil Holtegard tightens a bolt.

LCC's computers-on-wheels roll through Lane County by Barbara Littman for the Torch The LCC mobile classroom you see parked on campus or winding its way through Lane County streets has its own New Year's resolution this term: to deliver customized computer instruction right to the client's door. Outfitted this fall by LCC' s • Customized Training Department as an itinerant computer lab, the 40-foot fifth wheeler -pulled by a half-ton pick-up -now h9uses eight personal computers, four monochrome monitors, four color monitors and four printers. According to Jessica Overturf, Board Limited campus lab space, however, has made it difficult to meet demand. Additionally, some organizations, such as the Willamette Forest Service, wanted on-site classes, but did not have enough computers of their own for group trainings. With the forest service's interest and a mobile classroom available for conversion, the idea of a travelling computer continued from page W eeldreyer also shared concern for the students' plight but said, "It seems if the tuition increase is not inacted, it will hurt the students more than if an increase is approved.'' Other tuition increases will occur for non-credit students. A 30 hour class will increase from $37 to $39; High School Completion classes will increase from $3 7 to $39 per class; and seniors citizens will be charged $1 7 per class, up from $15 . Tuition increases are one result of the administration seeking ways to ease growing demands on the college's money supply -- demands that stem primarily from sharply increasing employee insurance and SAIF costs, according to figures presented by Administrative Services Vice President Richard Hillier. The board also approved placing a proposal on the March MLK training specialist, the new mobile lab will allow her department to better meet increased requests for computer instruction. ''Everyone is becoming computerized,'' says Overturf. ''Requests for software training have tripled in the last two years. ' ' lab was born. The biggest roadblock to setting up the lab was financing. But Customized Training Director Dave Oatman drove right past that obstacle. Last August, he obtained a federal vocational education grant to computerize the classroom. Once funds were available, the rush was on to get the classroom up and rolling during fall's cold weather when forest service employees are in the field less. Electronics Department Head Bob Vogel coordinated assembly of the machines in his department and Jim Cox of LCC's Computer Services installed the computers, working around wheel wells and arranging yards of wir- week arrangement is very costeffective. When employee release and travel time are figured into the training equation, along with the fact that regular classes are targeted for business users, not forest service employees, the district comes out ahead in dollars and quality of learning. Lynn Juilfs, head of the district's business office, worked on a vehicle mileage data base i~ ~me of her classes. Now Julifs will be able to calculate her mileage budgets in minutes. Normally, it takes one of her staff two and a half days to accomplish the same thing. And this is training ''I probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise..,'' says Julifs. mg. Afttr two years, the dream became a reality. During dead week• and finals last term -- a time .)Vhen classes traditionally come 'to an end -- the lab moved out fc:,r its first two-week session at the Oakridge Ranger District. According to Debby Murdough, the district's computer systems manager, the on-site training gives them something they can't get any other way. She says that having customized instruction means the instructors use real work examples in class. That can mean anything from working with students on a trail system data base to planning a winter reforestation schedule. At a price tag of $5,600, Murdough says the two- J. ballot to extend the current four-year levy for capital improvements for another four years. The meeting began with a presentation of a plaque of appreciation from the Oregon State Department of Education to the Director of the Small Bussiness Developemen t Center, Jim Piercy, for being an outstanding leader in improving vocational education. Presenting the plaque was Dr. Joan Stoddard, coordinator of the Program Planning Division of Vocational Technical Education, Oregon Department of Education. Upon receiving the plaque Piercy said, "As you come to the end of your rope, don't just hang on, tie a knot in it and have one good swing. " He specified that his statement was not a pending retirement announcement. continued from page 1 Brown reported that as of Thursday, Jan. 11, only about 300 tickets to the celebration remained.

"It was a tough ball game, but towards the end they were worn down," said LCC Head Coach Dave Loos. "We never wanted to let up. '' Despite late rallies by the short-handed UCC team, LCC dominated the floor to win the game. "It's always tough to play the full 40 minutes with only seven kids," stated UCC Head Coach Cy Perkins. ''Lane is very quick they shot excellent and capitalized on our mistakes.'' UCC had rallies of seven and five points in the second half to make the score 61-56 with just over eight minutes remaining. After a well placed time-out call by Coach Loos, the Titans out- 'We are unstoppable when we're together as a team' scored the Timberwomen 14-2. ''We basically just emphasized again to play a different offense against their zone. We also wanted to slow them down, " said Loos. ''Carrie Redifer and Stacey Jepson had good perimeter shooting," he said. They combined for 38 points including six three-pointers. And the bench scored 36 points including 10 from Kellie Stonelake. '' All the kids are playing well. They played to win the whole game, "said Asst. Coach Ron Richards. ''Our main focus is to work as a team, '' said Kristi Potter, who led the Titans in rebounds with seven. " ... we are unstoppable when we're together as a team.'' LCC played Chemeketa Jan. 6, and delivered the eleventh loss of the season to them, 92-55. "I was real proud of the defense tonight,'' said Loos. Offensively, Redifer led the Titans with 21 points, followed by Jepson with 17, andJennifer Baldwin with 11. The boards were dominated by Baldwin, Potter, and Nova Hammar, each with six rebounds. Saturday's game, Jan. 13, at Clackamas CC features the only undefeated teams in the NWAACC Southern Division. "If all goes well, we will know who is the best team," said Jepson. photo by Thatcher _Trombley LCC freshman Carrie Redifer, leading scorer against Umpqua, struggles for a shot.

''The kids were tough tonight, they played hard, they wanted it," explained Bates, who is in his 17th year at LCC. ''This team is going to have to be reckoned with." LCC opened up a 20-12 lead early in the first half with the help of Umpqua's poor shooting . In fact, the Timbermen were having trouble getting any shot to fall, hitting only 35 percent from the field for the game (24 of 69). But the Timbermen used a swarming, aggressive defense to /·~ ''~* . construct a 9-0 run to take a 25-24 lead on David VanLier's free throw with 4:45 left in the half. Then the teams battled to a 30-30 deadlock to end the half. The Timbermen came out running in the second half and used a 12-6 spurt to force an LCC time-out with 13: 57 left. Then Matt Wad dell drew a foul from Timbermen forward Kevin Smith -- his fourth -- and made both free throws to end LCC's drought. That play sent Smith, who finished with 10 points, to the bench with 12:00 to play, and neutralized a key aspect of Umpq ua 's defensive power. Smith's pounding inside play was beginning to wear Waddell and fellow post-players Miller · .. w --------- __.,.·------------ photo by Thatcher Trombley Doug Piquette sours to the hoop for two points.

Titan guard Eric Obee, who finished with 12 points, tied the game when he took the ball from 15-feet out in the lane, turned between two Timbermen, drew a foul and ended on the floor ·as his shot banked in. His free throw tied the game at 42. The momentum had switched to the Titans. The Timbermen regained the lead but relinquished it when Titan guard Doug Piquette popped a three-pointer with 8: 51 to go. Titan freshma9- Jason Ward, who finished with a game high 23 points, scored eight points in a row, including two threepointers, to give LCC a 57-48 lead. "My shots would have been falling earlier,'' explained Ward, "but they kept fouling me on every shot. We were down and somebody had to take charge . . . I just had the hot hand.'' From there the Titans never looked back. "We're all proud," said Obee. "We said we would get coach his 400th last game, but we came up short, so we promised him we would get it this time. ''We went out there and just hustled, didn't give up ever, and we all played together as a team.'' Titan Assistant Coach Monte Alderson said "Tonight's win made a statement: 'You come to Lane, be prepared to play.' '' Alderson expressed a deep respect for Bates. ' 'This is my fourth year at LCC." he explained. "He is a man I have learned a lot from. You don't get 400 wins by sitting on your duff.'' Umpqua Head Coach Rod Snook also congratulated Bates. ''I'm very pleased that I've had the opportunity to coach and to have Dale Bates as my friend,'' he said. ''He is probably one of the most influential people that helped me get my job at Umpqua. I would like to congratulate him on his win and also his career at the community college level.'' It was the second time this season the 10- 5 Titans have defeated the Timbermen. The first victory came in the Tip-off Tourney in early December in Roseburg. ''They've beaten us twice and now they have to come to our place," said Snook. • 4¢ self-service copies • beautiful Kodak & Xerox copies • low-cost flyers • easy, free parking • FAX service ~ 1253 Lincoln 344-5287 Mon.-Fri . 8:3~ 5.11. 11-5 Janaury 12, 1990 The Torch photo by Thatcher Trombley Eric Obee (number 20) gets the shot off in a crowd.
