Men's Basketball Coach Dale Bates collects career win number 400.

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.

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."

'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.

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.

Is woman pregnant or did she swallow a roll of paper towels

Dear Friends,

Dr. Decorum

Dear Dr. Decorum:
Is it always so wet in the
winter in Oregon?
Lloyd Bridges
Dear Lloyd:
Birds fly South for the winter,
the sun rises every morning,
undergraduates have the most
creative excuses for not having
homework, free T.V . is a contradiction in terms, any line you
stand in (even the shortest) will
require the longest wait, a smile

wet.

Is it true that ' 'life is what
you make it"?
Vincent Van

Dear Dr. Decorum:
I just found out I'm pregnant, and I'm so happy I want
to tell everyone. Is there a best
way?

Dear Vincent:
It depends on whether you
are a middle class student at
LCC or an Ethiopian two-year
old. The constraints on your life
which are not controlled by you
would seem to determine how
true this statement would be.

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

The board also approved

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.

ART & ENTE RTAIN MENT ------- --Literary magazine has good start
by Mary Kathleen Browning
Torch Entertainment Editor

Fireweed: Poetry of Western
Oregon, produced by LCC
English instructor Erik Muller
and two others, appeared for
the first time last fall. It was a
32-page magazine of selected
poetry by local authors. Now, a
second issue will be available for
sale in early February.
Muller and his co-editors,
David Laing and Ann Staley,
appear to have made a success of
their venture. According to
Muller, the first issue, with 150
published, sold quickly, and
received a favorable response
from its readers.
The editors hope to add
another eight to 12 pages to the
length of the next publication
and plan to increase the quantity of magazines printed.

Lady Titans remain undefeated,
dominate court against Umpqua
by Jeremi Shipley
Torch Sports Writer

The Lady Titans stayed
undefeated by outlasting Umpqua CC 75-62 in Northwest
Athletic Association of Community Colleges Southern Division play January 10.
"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.

cond place of the Southern
Division with a 2-1 record, and
gives the Titans an air of confidence that could guide them
through a tough division
season.
''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

and Jay Willis.
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
