'' King also spoke of her father's fight for civil rights and the impact of his efforts which are still felt today. ' 'Through his leadership we were compelled to get up and do something to better this country, " she said. She said the civil rights movement served as a catalyst for other movements, such as the women's movement. The civil rights movement also opened the door to education for all people. King also revealed that at the time of her father's death, Dr. King was planning a second march on Washington D. C. It would be an effort to address two major issues -- society's preoccupation with war, and the wide gap between the ''have and have-nots. He planned to orchestrate '' massive disobedience" to create a nonviolent disruption of the US government. She spoke of the causes of the injustices with our society. "It's boils down to economics,;' she said. ''It's about greed -- it's about a need to be number one. '' She said that society allows some to prosper at the top, ''while the rest of us fight for what remains.'' In a news conference held prior to her speech, King said that she doesn't know if racial equality will be a reality by the end of the next decade, but, ''We must continue to reach for it and to affirm it. And, I know that even if we don't reach it, we'll be in much better shape for trying. ' ' Women's Day agenda to geared to ease entry into college by Nancy Dorr Torch Staff Writer Women's Day at Lane, scheduled for Jan. 27, aims to provide women with an entry point to college. It is being sponsored by the Women's Program and the Marketing Council. Jill Bradley, Women's Center office manager, says, ''The purpose of Women's Day at Lane is to let women know how they can get started in school, and to familiarize themselves with the available vocational and educational opportunities and programs. ' 'We are pleased that every educational department is co-operating in this event. It is a combined effort by all departments at Lane," says Bradley. Women's Day events are for students presently enrolled at Lane who are undecided about their majors, and for individuals who are thinking about attending LCC, states Bradley. ''People need information to make educated decisions about their lives," she points out. Mini-workshops are scheduled on career-planning, financial aid, and how to get started at Lane. Bradley says that the day was scheduled to fit in with the financial aid cycle. January is the month students need to start thinking about financial aid for the next school year. Kate Barry, co-ordinator of the Women's Program oversees the Women's Center, the Transition-toSuccess Program, and teaches a women's studies class. She believes that women sometimes make choices on what they assume is possible and not on the fully in- formed knowledge of where different programs can lead them, and what those programs might offer. ''Women think they can better their lives by coming back to school. They have a general hope they can get photo by Chad Boutin Izetta Hunter, Women's Center coordinator, gives direction to work-study helper Connie Schofield. an education, and thus a better future," says Barry, "but often they don't concretely know what that is or what their options are. They might make real stereotypical kinds of choices, and not realize the different kinds of careers available to them.'' "There are all kinds of vocations," states Bradley. ''Women's Day at Lane is a real non-threatening way to find out about those choices." Women can tour career-training programs and meet the staff. Students can. choose from diverse programs such as nursing, nanny care, aviation, or graphic design, and talk to successful women students who have been in these programs, says Barry. One woman on campus who is exploring a career not commonly sought by women is Mioko Suzuki. She wants to be a publisher, and plans to major in journalism. She arrived in the US for the first time two months ago from Japan. Suzuki explains that the reason she came to the United States is because, "America is more equal in their treatment of women than Japan. The educational system is more advanced in America. '' Her goal is to learn English and to learn to communicate with people internationally. She feels her experience in the US will help her learn better English. Barry states that the Women's Center is a major entry point into college for women wanting to come back to Turn to Women, page 3 EDITORIALS Meet the future • in the eyes of youth Cross section of society living the 'Dream' dent at the U of 0.

Morgan by Michael Omogrosso Torch Editor A challenge was handed to the crowd gathered to commemorate the life and non-violent civil disobedience of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the Hult Center Monday night.Jan. 15. Mistress of Ceremonies Jane Oliver, director of MultiCultural Affairs at the U of O, challenged the 2,500 people assembled to meet the future -- the future which will~ in all likelihood, still include the selfish and prejudice side of humanity -- with a commitment to create a better world. And that challehge was re-enforced by Yolanda King's powerful appeal.

Mr. (formerly Colonel) North, fresh from his postweaseling-ou t-of-prison sabbatical, has hit the aptly named "rubber chicken circuit." The main thrust of his little speeches will be about what a good and honorable thing he and his cohorts did, and he will espouse a theory that is extremely popular among those who wish Grandpa Ronnie could run for president again and again. What is this revolutionary idea? It's that the people of Eastern Europe, their bare subsistence economy, nor even the considerable influence of Mikhail Gorbachev had any bearing at all on the current tidal wave of democracy flooding that Com- munist beach. No, there's only one man responsible for this historic turn of events, and that genius is, all together kids, RONALD REAGAN! His '' get tough'' attitude and "Star Wars Defense Initiative" Reagan (even though he wasn't always aware of exactly what his subordinates were up to). I saw him in an hour-long interview last week and was interested, if not amused, by some of his statements. He's My Attention by Ken Houghton came together to bring the spirits of Stalin and Marx to their knees. No, really! I've heard this version of current events related by some of the, supposedly, most intelligent conservatives in the public arena today. So, it seems that Ollie is maintaining his ''loyal Marine'' posture to the bitter end.

When asked about how he viewed Mr. North's actions, he got that ' 'no comment' ' look on his face and wouldn't go any farther than saying Ollie was a '' good guy.'' All the more probing questions were deflected by "It's still in court so I can't say any more. ' ' So much for quid pro quo. As far as his near future plans go, he is also going out on the "mashed potato" circuit. Sports Editor Photo Editor Asst.

I mean, they could reflect their actual purpose; the "I need the money circuit,'' or the "I need to pimp my cause circuit.'! One of Ronnie's main topics will be the need for a presidential line item veto power for use on the national budget. This means that the chief executive will go through the proposed budget and cross out expenditures he feels are unnecessary or excessive. The disputed items will then go back to Congress where the veto can be overridden. This can be a positive or negative power. On the negative side, if the president acts on strictly partisan politics, he can tie up the proposed budget by vetoing all the other party's requests and then blame the delay of the budget passage on them. On the plus side, since the president has item-by-item approval, the budget could be more responsive to the will of the people. We'll see how it goes. The last Ronnie ism I' 11 relate is that while he saw no problem with his being paid $2 million to lecture the Japanese on trade and his home country, he wouldn't take another acting job because it would reflect badly on the office of the president. I don't know the content of those lectures, but talk about splitting hairs! Some issues on the horizon, the trial of Noriega, our government's reaction to events in Central America and Eastern Europe, telephone caller ID, George Bush (no, he and his faithful sidekick Danny didn't slip my mind. Neither did the Democratic party), the parallels (if any) between our diplomatic relations with the Chinese in the wake of their crushing of revolution and future Soviet actions in the face of their own revolution, and whatever else springs into my sight. Stay tuned, more later. .. LETTERS _ _ __ 'Hats off to Berger To the Editor: Hats off to Jerry Berger for his letter to the Editor, (Thanks to Lane, Jan. 12). After undergoing intense scrutinization all the way through the final round of the presidential search, only to not be selected to fill the role, could have left Berger a little bitter, or at least with a desire to put the situation in the past. Instead Berger chose to thank LCC staff and students for their hospitality and warmth, demonstrating a real ''touch of class.'' Also, kudos to the LCC Board of Education for their involvement of the many representatives from different campus groups in the search. My personal involvement in the search was most rewarding.

Its aim is to empower women to become economically selfsufficient. The women enrolled in the program face many barriers and often are escaping from abusive situations or have struggled for years with the welfare system. Sometimes they may also be recovering from alcohol or drug abuse, says Barry. ''We provide them with a career lite-planning class taught by Margie Holland.

London Studies; deadline nears by Terry Asher Torch Staff Writer LCC students have until Feb. 1 to apply for spring term's London Study program. Students attend college transfer classes at the University of London taught by select Oregon community college instructors. Co-sponsored by the American Institute of Foreign Study (AIFS) and the Oregon Community College Consortium, the London Study Program places students and instructors from Oregon in London's Bloomsbury District for one quarter. DeChaine Named To Staff For the second time in as many years an LCC instructor is one of the faculty selected for the program. Last spring, speech instructor Mary Forestieri taught in London, LCC's first year of involvement in the program. This spring, speech instructor Virginia DeChaine will teach classes in theater. ''It is the study of theater as it should be,'' says DeChaine. "I've never had a chance to teach a class where the plays are not only read, but viewed in full production on stage, the way they are meant to be seen. ' ' London is unrivalled as the center for theater, with over 40 major theaters including the imposing National Theatre and Barbican Arts Center, new home to the Royal Shakespeare Company. Business students will find the opportunities available equally unique and rewarding, according to Judy Dresser, assistant to the vice president of instruction and the LCC coor dinator of the London Study Program. They will visit the Bank of England, the Stock Ex- change and Lloyds of London. They will also study the growing European economy, using the resources of the London headquarters of the European Communities' Commission. The London Study Program is available to all LCC students. According to the LCC Office of Instruction, the cost of the program is $3,580, and includes round trip airfare to London from Portland, living accomodations, medical and feerefund insurance policies, as well as membership fees to the University of London Student Union and Library, central zone travel pass and payment for an extensive weekly program of subsidized cultural and social activities. Dresser recommends students budget an additional $1,000 to $1,500 for other expenses not covered by the AIFS fee, including meals, passport and visa fees, textbooks and LCC college tuition. In addition, students have the option of a week tour of Western Europe, with an additional cost to the student of $505. Financial Aid is available for qualified students. Any student who is interested should contact Marlena McKee in Financial Aid. Other questions can be directed to DeChaine and Dresser.

January 19, 1990 Page 3 The "I have a Dream" speech, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. in Washington D.C. in 1963, is and will remain one of King's most famous proclamations. However, his "Letter from Birmingham Jail," written to members of the clergy who had critized Dr. King, is perhaps King's most powerful statement. The following excerpt is taken from that letter. ''I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion th11t the Negro 's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I 11gree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods ofdirect action''; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man 's freedom; who lives by a mythic11I concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for sifl more convenient season.'' Shu/low understanding from people ofgood will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. . . . Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever. The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself, and that is what is happening to the American Negro.

ART & ENTERTAI NMENT---- ------ OSPIRG Sculpture stolen from LCC cafeteria Highlights by Mary Kathleen Browning Torch Entertainment Editor • University Theatre opens its second season with Lysistrata, a modernized version of a Greek Comedy with an anti-war theme. Performances in the U of O's Arena Theatre Wednesday, Jan. 24 through Saturday,Jan. 27 and Thursday, Feb. 1 through Saturday, Feb. 3. All performances begin at 8 p.m. Tickets available in the University Theatre box office, in the lobby of Robinson Theatre, 1109 Campus Lane. A six foot high styrofoam sculpture, constructed by students in the LCC cafeteria Jan. 17, was stolen from the food service area early the next morning. Members of OSPIRG (Oregon Students Public Interest Research Group) organized the project. Wor-king between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., the students constructed the sculpture with styrofoam used in the cafeteria Wednesday. Anyone was invited to add to the work. • Earth Day 1990 organizers are holding a volunteer drive and fund raiser for Earth Week activities at the W. 0. W. Hall Saturday, Jan. 27, at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the Hungry Head Bookstore and the W. 0. W. Hall. The OSPIRG students hoped to raise the awareness of the problems with the disposal of Styrofoam and draw interest to their organization, according to ASLCC Treasurer Ivan Frishberg, an OSPIRG member. The idea, said Frishberg, was to make people ask ''What do we do with it?'' He said that styrofoam constitutes a large part of the landfill problem that faces America today, because it is a non-biodegradeable, non-recycled product. • Dennis Quaid and the Mystics will perform at the EMU Ballroom. Quaid is known for his acting in Suspect, The Big Easy, and Great Balls of Fire. Opening for the group will be Curtis Salgado and the Stilettos. Tuesday, Jan. 23 at 8 p.m. Tickets sold at the EMU Main Desk Store, Face the Music, CD World, and the Record Garden. When the work was completed, the sculptors left it in the cafeteria. The point of this, according to OSPIRG staff member Maureen Kirk, was to make people ask themselves what can be done with the waste styrofoam leaves. The structure was supposed to remain in the cafeteria until Jan. 24, but an unidentified person was seen leaving the food ,service area with it early Thursday morning. Frishberg says that this project was part of a world-wide movement to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Earth Day, on April 21. • Quiet Views, Collages, and Urban Portraits at the PhotoZone Gallery.

The sign posted on the project said, in part, that the work was to serve ''as a growing reminder that trash cans and dump sites cannot hide this problem.'' OSPIRG Executive Director Joel Ario will be the guest speaker at a general interest meeting Jan. 24. Calling the 1990s the ''Decade of the Environment," Frishberg said that LCC's members of OSPIRG •will hold a general meeting Wednesday, Jan. 24 for any students who are interested in learning more about the group. The meeting will be held at 2 p.m. in room 235 of the Math and Arts Building. A reward is being offered to anyone who can give information leading to the identification of the thief. Call Ivan, at ext. 2290 with any information. Momix . to teach dance improvisation by Mary Kathleen Browning Torch Entertainment Editor The Times LCC photography instructor David Joyce's photo sculpture cutout, Sitting Man, Number 6, is now showing at the Kern's Art Center's ''Northwest Photographic Invitational.'' The exhibit runs through Feb. 18. Page 8 Janaury 19, 1990 The Torch A modern dance company from the East Coast will be presenting a Master Class at LCC, Saturday, Jan. 20. Momix, an internationally known troupe of dance-illusionists, will be teaching the students about structured improvisation. The dance troupe will have the students improvise, and then perform a piece choreographed from the class' improvisations to demonstrate how they create their own dances. According to LCC dance instructor Mary Seereiter, this is an excellent opportunity that can benefit dancers of all skill levels. Seereiter says that a Master Class teaches the ''essence' ' of dance. "It will be taught in a simple form -- simple does not mean un-challenging," she says. Because there is no established fund for classes like the one Momix will give, these opportunities are not often available to LCC dance students. ''It takes a lot of organization and a lot of money (to offer a class like this),' ' says Seereiter. ''But it is important to have these programs for our students, without charging them a lot of money.'' Seereiter said that students would be charged $2 5 for a class of this sort in a city like i-.J"ew York. Due to $250 of financial suport from the ASLCC, however, LCC students are only being charged five dollars. Because Momix requested that the class be limited to 30 students, seating in the LCC Main Theatre has been made available for anyone who would like to observe the class. The cost for observing is one dollar. Momix, will perform in the Hult Center for the Performing Arts, at 8 p.m. Saturday. Tickets to the Momix Hult Center performance are $15, students and senior citizens receive a four dollar discount. Call 687-5000 for ticket information. Take a load off vour heart.
