that it wasn't going to be undaunted by the action of a
misguided individual. ''
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

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

Ollie, Reagan making good on 'rubber chicken circuit'
commentary by Ken Houghton
Torch Staff Writer

This week my attention came
to rest on a couple of faces from
our recent past: Ollie North and
Ronald Reagan, those wacky
White House alleged coconspirators.
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!

not as loyal to Ollie as Ollie is to
him.
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.

Why are these lecture tours
always nicknamed after bad
food? 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. ..

'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. This exhibition of shared governance
sets a precedent for the future.

Recently separated from her husband and ra1smg

a job through the work-study program. She says she was
encouraged to go back to school and given positive reinforcement.
Barry says that this program is especially designed for
the single parent/ displaced homemaker. 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.

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.

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. Something within has
reminded him ofhis birthright offreedom, and something without has reminded him that it can
be gained. ''

Lady Titans win one, lose one
by Jeremi Shipley

LCC Lady Titans raised their
record to four and one in league
play with an impressive win over
Portland CC 74-46 January 17.
''They led once in the first
half, but we dominated the
game,'' said Kellie Stonelake
who has averaged 11.8 points
per game. Stonelake is ranked
45th in scoring for all of the
North West Athletic Association of Community Colleges.
Stacey Jepson led the Titans
with 12 points for the night,
good enough to rank her 14th
in scoring, (15.9 P.P.G.) and
15th in assists, (4.6 Per game) in

the NWAACC.
The Titans sole loss in the
NW AACC Southern division
came last weekend from division leader Clackamas CC,
96-72 January 14.
"We didn't execute very well
in the first half, and were killed

The men's basketball team
rebounded from a poor performance Jan. 13 in a loss to
Clackamas Community College
to pound lowly Portland CC
106-68 Jan. 17 in Portland.
The Northwest Athletic
Association of Community Colleges victory placed LCC in sole
possession of third place with a
record of 3-2 in the Southern
Division and 11-6 overall. The
Titans trail Chemeketa and
Clackamas; both undefeated at
5-0 in the division.
''We were very intense and
played very good defense," explained Titan freshman Jason
Ward.
Portland, which dropped to
0- 5 in the Southern Division

and 1-13 overall, was outmatched for this game .
The Titans jumped out to a
commanding 47-30 lead at
halftime, after that the Titan
starters got a rest while the
reserves took over and added
another 59 points in the second
half. In all, 12 Titans scored -five of them in double figures.
''Portland was not a very
good time at all,'' said Titan
post-player Rick Miller.
The Titans shot 11 for 37 in
the first half against Clackamas
and let the Cougars back in the
game in the second half when
they committed late turnovers.
Clackamas forced the game into
overtime and outscored the
Titans in the extra period to win
the game, 78-76.

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.

Photographers Susan Detroy, Ron Paul
Finne, and Sabrina Henley present their
work. The exhibit runs through Feb. 1.
• Photography exhibit at the U of 0
Museum of Natural History. The show
presents the work of photographer Gary
Tepfer. The exhibit runs through Feb.

11.
• Boston University will hold auditions
for the School of Music and the
Tanglewood Institute. Phone (617) 353 3386 for an audition appointment. For
further information, write: Boston
University Tanglewood Institute, 855
Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, Mass.
02215. The auditions will be held in
Portland, Saturday, Feb. 3.

This styrofoam sculpture project, constructed by
OSPIRG members, was stolen from the LCC cafeteria on
rhursday, Jan. 18. 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

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.

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.
