Ordinance may
snag Rohr plans
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Staff Wn"ter

Problems may snare Rohr Industries' plans to
build a new manufacturing facility near Mahlon
Sweet Airpon.
Rohr, a California based aerospace supplier, announced its plans in a Jan. 3 press conference at LCC
to build the plant and use LCC as a training
resource.
Spokespersons for the company said at the press
conference that Rohr felt enough confidence to announce its intentions, despite not having purchased
the land or having acquired the necessary permits for
the project.
Construction on the facility would begin this spring with a scheduled opening of the plant in the fall
of this year -- a date set to meet a backlog of orders.
But a Jan. 17 Register-Guard story reponed that
the plan has fallen behind schedule and the lack of
the necessary elements has caused concern for the
company.
Spokespersons had mentioned in the conference
that the company's decision to build in the EugeneSpringfield area hinged on several factors, including
low utility rates, the location of the U of 0, and the
benefits that would be provided by LCC and the
Southern Willamette Private Industry Council.
Questions were posed during the conference concerning the city's nuclear-free ordinance, which prohibits the production or storage of nu_clear warheads
in the city of Eugene, but spokespersons and city officials alike reassured those in attendance that Rohr
Industries would have no problem complying with
the ordinance.
A new version of the ordinance, though, which
will be voted on in May, prohibiting production of
nuclear weapons systems, delivery systems and components, has apparently given Rohr cause for concern that anti-nuclear activists might present problems for the plant in the future, according to the
R-G story.

New non-smoking section lingers in bitter cloud of controversy
Vague resolution proves frustrating

section of the cafeteria which is adjacent to the Deli and an elevator.

Controversy over a new non-smoking
section in the LCC cafeteria has conjured a
smoke-screen of conflicting opinions. At
issue is the nonheast section of the
cafeteria that is immediately adjacent to
the deli and one of the elevators.
The Facilities Management Committee
decided to change the smoking area
because of the amount of smoke people
must go through to get to the elevator or
purchase anything from the deli. •
Although the decision was made and
signs were posted, the new regulations
have been neither heeded nor enforced.
Some smokers feel that the decision was
made arbitrarily and with no forum,
discussion, or feedback. ''It's not just the
smoking issue,'' says Dale Rogers, a
wheelchair-dependent student. ''The major issue is that we should be allowed to
voice our input about decisions," he says.
Confined to his wheelchair, Rogers has
difficulty going in or out of the smoking
section during the cafeteria's rush hours.
''I can always get a table up here,'' says
Rogers, puffing on a cigarette in the non-

smoking section. "I know several people
in wheelchairs who don't get through the
narrow paths between tables,'' he claims,
motioning with his head to the designated
smoking area.
Rogers presented his views to a January
18 meeting of the Management Committee. The committee agreed that the rows
between tables in the smoking section
should allow access to people in
wheelchairs, but stood ·by a decision· to
maintain the area by the deli as a nonsmoking section. On how to enforce this
rule, however, the committee was
nebulous.
''Who enforces the non-smoking section?" asks Dana Berkenmier, a student
in the Culinary and Hospitality Program.
"The deli is my classroom," she says. "I
have to be out there. I have a co-worker
who gets skin rashes from the smoke. I
doubt that there is any deli that is that
assaulted with smoke. ''
People who smoke are not in agreement
on the issue. Student, Laura Roders
relates, ''When I go through that area and
I see people smoking in the non-smoking

EDITORIA LS

B-Ballfan s support charity
by Devan Wilson
Torch News Editor

An event of epic proportions was staged last
Saturday in New Orleans, as Louisiana State
University defeated Notre Dame before the
largest ever paid attendance for a college
basketball game -- 68,112.
The record paid attendance, and the outcome of the game, however, took a cameo role
on this occasion as all proceeds exceeding a
$75 ,000 guarantee to each school went to
benefit the homeless.
' 'Athletics can give back something this
time, ' ' said LSU Head Coach Dale Brown,
who actively promoted the event. Both Brown
and Notre Dame Coach Digger Phelps agreed
that the cause was more important than the
final score.
Quite a precedent this game set. With the
astronomical amounts of dollars that swirl
through both college and professional
athletics, it's high time some of those proceeds
went to a just cause.
And believe me, the dollars do flow;
especially 1n the professional ranks.
Last summer, journeyman center Jon Koncak of the Atlanta Hawks signed a six year $13
million contract. Koncak averaged only 4. 7
points and 6.1 rebounds a game last season -hardly all-star numbers; hardly deserving of an

all-star salary.
In April, without ever having played a single
game in the NFL, rookie quarterback Troy
Aikman signed a six year $11.2 million contract.
And last Monday, baseball player Will Clark
of the San Francisco Giants signed a contract
that will pay him $15 million over four years -an average of $3. 75 million a season.
In an associated press report, Clark said, ''It
definitely overwhelms you to know that
baseball has this much money. ' '
Nice call Will; it is overwhelming. And I bet
it's even more overwhelming to the residents
of Eugene's Opportunity Shelter, or the
homeless who are unable to find relief.
Now, I understand that sports, both college
and professional, must operate as a business.
But with the excessive cash flow that exists,
and with those who control the sports world's
purse strings demonstrating such generosity,
surely more effort to generate funds for causes
such as homelessness could be initiated.
The LSU-Notre Dame contest should serve
as a role model , stimulating future efforts by
the sporting world to address the problems
which are crippling this nation.
Said Coach Phelps, "Until we get all our
resources together ... we have a national embarrassment.''

Manners prescribed
Dear Dr. Decorum,
I thought when I first saw your column that you would be giving
advice on etiquette, but you seem to comment on everything else.
How about a word or two on manners?
Abby Anne Van Buren

Dr. Decorum
by Carl Mottle
Dear Abby,
Thank you for pointing out that I am remiss in the area of advice
on proper manners. I hope to correct this error by devoting my next
few columns to this important subject. I'd like to utilize the expertise of Shiela Ostrander from her book titled ''Etiquette for Today, '' published in 1968, and include some comments of my own
to expand or clarify points which may be confusing, or to cite an example or exception. The subject for this week is the etiquette of
dating.
1. S.O. - "A boy should call well in advance for a date."

Dr .D - Somewhere between three days and two years 1s ap-

propriate.
2. S.O. - ''Once plans are made, you should both have a good idea
of what to wear, the time schedule, and what to expect.''
Dr.D - For example, going semi-nude to the Oregon Country Fair
for five days of pagan celebration.

3. S.O. - "If a woman wishes to ask a man out, her first moves
should be casual and non-specific.''

The Almighty Dollar roots evil
commentary by Ken Houghton
Torch Staff Writer

This week my attention is on
the almighty dollar. The Bible
says, ''For the love of money is
the root of all evil. ' ' And while
this may not be literally correct,
a viewing of any newscast will
bear out the overall truth of this
time tested statement.
Most crime is committed in
the pursuit of money. A current
example comes from my home
city of Boston where racial tension has been inflamed by a
man who murdered his wife and
their unborn child for the insurance money. Then, he tried
to cover his tracks by saying, "a
black guy did it.''
While perhaps not clearly
evil, government spending does
occupy the best part of our illustrious elected officials
rhetorical posturing . Our
foreign-aid budget is $ 14

billion (not including our
assorted military aid packages
like the $150 billion to Western
European NATO forces). And
now the countries in Eastern
Europe and Panama are knocking on our door, soliciting contributions.
The reasoning behind this?
Since we (the USA) have
been standing in the
background, encouraging these
counties to embtace our
political philosophy, we bear
the responsibility, moral and
financial, now they've started
taking the first steps toward
democracy. As far as Eastern
Europe goes, I'm not too sure
how obligated we are as a country.
Panama is a different story.
We used our investment in
the canal, at least in part, as
justification for the invasion,
right or wrong, endangering
American and Panamainian

lives in the process. Since we do
have interests there, it follows
that we also have responsibilities. At the very least, we
should aid Panama in
rebuilding what was destroyed.
And where will the money
come from to rebuild Panama?
Senate Minority Leader Bob
Dole suggests cutting the aid to
countries like Israel, Egypt, the
Philippines, etc. by five percent, and then re-allocating
those funds between the East
Bloc nations and Panama. This
suggestion was met with howls
of protest from those countries
targeted for the meager cut and
from their advocates.
Big shock.
Why should we be concerned
if there is five percent less for
rubber bullet money on the
West Bank?
More the next time.

Dr.D - For instance, you could say something like' Tm attending a

Feminist Lecture titled All 'Ex-husbands aren't Scumbags. Would
you like to come?' '
4. S.O. - ''Unless there's some reason to meet elsewhere, a man is
usually expected to pick a girl up at her home and return her there
after a date. ' '
Dr.D - Courtesy also demands that you inform the girl if your

mode of transportation is motorcycle, bicycle, skateboard, unicycle,
pogostick, or if you will be walking more than six miles.
5. S.O. - "On the date, the man ... doesn't make a public disturbance. Noisy, boisterous people are embarrassing to date. (If some
stranger makes unpleasant comments better to leave than become
•
embroiled.)"
Dr.D - On those rare occasions when an unrestrained physical altercation occurs, your final statement should demonstrate that you appreciate your point of view being considered rather than making a
hasty comment about doubious lineage.
6. S.O. - "It's up to the girl to cue in the departure time."
Dr.D - Gentleman, if the girl indicates she wishes to return home
by spraying you with mace, sounding an airhorn in your ear, or
screaming as loudly as she can for three or four minutes, this is a
clue that you have committed a social blunder and you would do
well to review your actions with an eye toward improving the propriety of your behavior. Such an appraisal will usually produce
beneficial results on subsequent engagements.
7. O.S. - "You both thank each other for the evening . . . One
thing a man shouldn't do is ask for a kiss. He is more likely to get
an answer than action. ''
Dr.D - It is also inappropriate to ask for a medical history --

Interim-President Carter sets iv/arch retirement date
by Terry E. Asher
Torch Staff Writer

''I'm going to join the ranks
of the unemployed," Jack
Carter said, fending off questions about his future. After 35
years in education -- 24 of those
spent at Lane Community College -- the interim-president of
LCC is going to retire.
Carter has held the temporary
post for nearly two years, since
Richard Turner left Lane for a
similar job in Nashville, Tenn.
In December, the LCC Board of
Education selected Jerry Moskus
of Des Moines Area Community
College to fill the presidency
beginning in March of this year.
Seated behind a large desk in
his office filled with many LCC
mementos, Carter spoke about
his past and future.
"I've been at LCC since
1967. I started before this campus was built. We had
buildings all over the place.
Students would leave class,
jump in their cars and drive
across town for their next class.
It was something.
''But there was an excitement

present. We were going to prohad no previous access to it.
vide educational benefits to a What we didn't know at the
segment of the population that time was how significant a

group it was.''
As LCC expanded, so did
Carter's duties and responsibilities. He left his position as
principal at Oakridge Junior
High to come to LCC, serving as
dean of students and director of
student activities. In 1970, he
became vice president for student services, overseeing
counseling,
admissions,
registration and testing.
In 1988, after the resignation
of Turner, Carter was appointed
interim-president. He was
chosen, according to then Board
Chair Mary Unruh, for his intimate knowledge of how LCC
works and his understanding of
its goals. When he accepted the
position, it was with the
understanding that the interimpresident would not be allowed
to apply for the job permanently. This was to give LCC the
stable input needed during the
presidential search period so the
board could concentrate on
selecting the best president, according to Unruh.
Moskus will begin his tenure
as president in March. Carter
has offered his help and

assistance as needed, but feels
Moskus is a very capable person
and is more than ready to tackle
the complexities of the position
with little additional input.
Carter feels '' it is time to do
something else," and looks forward to traveling with his wife
and, he predicts, he has "at
least five years of reading to
catch up on, after years of
reading nothing but memos
and reports."
When asked about his accomplishments, Carter states,
''There is nothing I have accomplished that was solely my
responsibility. Education is a
participatory process and any accomplishments are the result of
a lot of people working
together. ' '
But he is certainly proud of
LCC and his time spent here.
Just walking around the campus
"is impressive, it never fails to
energize me, ' ' Carter said.
''LCC has a strong commitment
to teaching and to excellence. It
is a hell of a school. '' The same
can be said for the man who has
served it so well.

Controversy __co_n_tin_u_ed_fro_m_pa_g_e_1- - - - - - - - - - section, I want to sweep the
ashtrays off the tables and say,
'Hey, you see the sign? Go
smoke on the other side. ' And I
smoke.''
' 'The smoke has kept me
from the deli,'' complains student, Nancy Durham. "Also,
it's rude to have people smoking in the doorways and where
non-smokers have to be," she
says.
While people are allowed to
smoke in the cafeteria, the issue
of how to appease distraught
non-smokers who are unwillingly exposed to the smoke of
others remains unsolved.
One suggestion comes from
ASLCC
Senator
Scott
Derickson, ' 'There needs to be
more of a separation between
non-smoking and smoking sections like with better ventilation, but it's a question of
money.''

Chief Electrician Darrell
Allyn claims that the problem
may be able to be ameliorated
without spending too many
dollars. "One exhaust fan in
the center of the smoking section costing about $500 would
blow smoke outside,'' says
Allyn, as he drags on a
cigarette. "If the motor would
handle the load, speeding up
fans on the air intake system
would help also,'' he says while
cautioning that if the motor
needed upscaling, the price tag
could be $2000 to $3000.
Reaching beyond the haze of
where and how smoking should
occur, Andy Harris, ASLCC
president, spoke to the prime
issue, '' Smokers have a right to
poison their bodies if they
choose to do so, but they don't
have the right to force others to
do the same.''
Political Science instructor

Joe Kremers who is familiar
with the processes of compromise, concurs with Harris.
He puffs on his pipe outside of
the fourth floor and says, "I've
been smoking for 30 years and
I'm a firm supporter of nonsmoker's rights." He says people should not smoke inside,
period. "Smoking is not a
right, it's a privilege," he says,
engulfed in a cloud of sweetsmelling tobacco smoke.
When all is said and done, Jo
Stejskal, lead groundskeeper,
may have the final answer.
"Most of our time spent cleaning trash is with cigarette
butts,'' she says. ''People still
throw them (butts) on the
ground, often right next to the
ash urns. I think that everyone
who goes to LCC should spend
part of each day cleaning ash
urns for a week. It would make
them stop smoking.''

Wash hands, avoid flu and colds
by Terry E. Asher
Torch Staff Writer

The cold and flu season is
upon us. Coughs and sneezes
ring in the hallways and more
than one student is studying
while propped up on pillows in
bed.
But what can you do to
reduce the chance of catching a
cold or having a bout with the
flu?
Wash your hands!
''Recent research provides
fairly conclusive evidence that
hand contact, and not kissing,
sneezing or coughing, is responsible for passing most colds
along,'' explained Neil

Schachter, M.D. professor of
medicine and medical director
of the Respiratory Therapy
Dept., Mt. Sinai Medical
Center, New York City.
Any one of 200 viruses can
cause a cold, and the viruses can
survive up to three days on the
hands, on hard surfaces and in
cloth handkerchiefs. Frequent
and thorough handwashing will
reduce the chance of catching a
cold or passing one along, according to the LCC medical advisory board. Good habits of
personal cleanliness and the
proper disposal of paper tissues
also reduces the chance of contracting the virus.
If you should come down

with a cold or the flu, most doctors maintain the traditional
mix of rest, staying comfortable, and drinking plenty of
fluids as the best treatment. To
relieve nasal congestion and a
runny nose, a non-prescription
decongestant and an antihistamine is recommended.
Drinking hot liquids also helps.
If a cold or the flu persists for
more than a week, students
should either see their private
physician or make an appointment to be seen at the Student
Health Center.
But since prevention is the·
best medicine, remember, wash
those hands.

LCC Gay and Lesbian Alliance
(GALA) is ratified by ASLCC
by Devan Wilson
Torch News Editor

The LCC Gay and Lesbian
Alliance (GALA) was officially
ratified as a student dub by
ASLCC on Jan. 22.
The purpose of GALA, according to students Carol McKay
and Kent Owen , the group's
organizers, is to establish a support system for gays and lesbians on campus.
' 'Right now, we're basically
invisible at LCC,' ' says McKay.
"We need to establish a community for us -- a way of
meeting people and talking
about ourselves.''
Says Owen, "If people know
(GALA) is here, then they all
can just get together instead of
being afraid to talk to someone.''
Says ASLCC President Andy
Harris, "I think all groups on
campus should have the right to
be represented, including
GALA .
"I'm sure there will be some
conservative elements which
will be against it, however, part
of (GALA's) mission is to
educate, and I think those people need the most education.''
The organization will also offer an information, resource and
referral service, providing people with a list of business
owners, doctors, and lawyers in
the community who are supportive of gay and lesbian issues.
McKay claims LCC is not a
''safe' ' enviroment for gays and
lesbians. She says many lesbian
and gay students don' t feel
comfortable discussing their
lives or expressing affection
openly at LCC .
For example, McKay says that

while staffing a GALA booth in
the LCC cafeteria on Jan. 17,
she experienced harassment.
She says one man compared
gays and lesbians to aliens. ''He
proceeded to tell me I was going
to burn in Hell,'' she says. ''I
expect LCC to be safe when I
have these boths. I'm a student.
I deserve that.

'Right now,
we're basically
invisible at LCC'
"I know there were some gay
men and some lesbians who
were afraid to come up (to the
booth),'' she says. The apprehension they felt, according
to McKay, may have been
because of the programs in
which they are enrolled. "Some
programs at LCC are more
homophobic than others.''
McKay refuses to elaborate further.
A primary goal of GALA will
be to include a clause in the
LCC Affirmative Action Statement against discrimination on
the basis of sexual orientation.
The Affirmative Action statement is currently under revision, college officials confirm.
Noting the 25th anniversary
of LCC, and the college 's
reputation
for
being
" progressive, ' ' she says,
... we know they will
recognize us as a valuable service to the students of LCC. ''

• The faculty negotiating unit and the college have come to
a tentative agreement for a new contract, according to
representatives from both groups. If ratified at the Feb. 1
Faculty Association meeting, contract approval is anticipated
by the LCC Board of Education at its Feb. 21 meeting.
Jay Marston, president of the association, describes this
year's negotiating process as "incredible," differing from
past negotiations because both sides placed the problems on
the table and worried about the language later. He was impressed by the trust that developed . between the prime
negotiators, Steve John for the faculty, and Lon Mills representing the college. Marston attributes the smooth flow of
negotiations primarily to that trust.

McKay says the group will
establish a speakers' bureau,
and ask for invitations to speak
in classes. The bureau's aim will
be to educate students about
gay and lesbian issues, address
gay and lesbian stereotypes, and
'' dispell a lot of the myths
(about gays and lesbians) .
There's a lot of diversity among
our community. ''
GALA will also develop a
small lending library. She says.
the material in the LCC library
is outdated, listing gays and lesbians under the catalogue
heading of "social deviancy" -along with abortion and narcotics.
In addition, the group plans
to hold workshops, such as a
"homophobia workshop," in
conjunction with other
organizations on campus.
Owen sees the major obstacle
for GALA as ''getting people to
step forward' ' and openly admit
that they are gay or lesbian, or

"I think 'straights' also need
to be supportive,'' she says.
"It's not like they're going to
be labeled 'lesbian' or 'gay.'
That shouldn't be an issue. The
issue should be an issue of civil

McKay says LCC instructors -gay and "straight" -- need to

Senate hears substance abuse report, endorses Lewis
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Staff Wn"ter

A repon by Substance Abuse
Coordinator Harvey Bond on
the status of his program
highlighted theJan. 22, ASLCC
Senate meeting.
Bond reported to the senate
that 286 students have used the
program and also which
substances presented the most
problems at LCC. Bond said the
position is going to be expanded next year to full time, and he
encouraged the hiring of a
female assistant to assist women
who feel more comfonable with
another woman than a man.
The senate commended Bond
for his work. Bond will make a
similar report every five to six
weeks.

• LCC Board member Martin

ROhr

Lewis came before the senate
seeking endorsement of his
campaign for re-election to the
board. The Senate asked Lewis
to address his position on two
issues -- the recent decision by
the board to increase tuition,
and childcare at LCC.
Lewis said he supported the
increase in order that classes
would not be cut, and supports
childcare. But he also said,
"The question is, what can we
do within our resources?' •
The Senate voted unanimously to endorse Lewis.
• Senate members expressed
that LCC loses many summer
students to the University of
Oregon because they do not cut
the out-of-state fees for the
summer term as do other state
institutions. ASLCC President

Andy Harris commented, ''I
think it's good from a student
perspective•• to endorse such a
tuition cut.
• Harris , in his officer report,
mentioned that the senate had
pulled out of CCOSAC. He also
thanked the senate members
that appeared before the board
when the tuition increase was
being decided. Harris stressed
that students do need to be
aware of such things.
• Ivan Frishberg, ASLCC
Treasurer, went over the current
budget, saying that the ASLCC
account is low, requiring a
transfer of funds. The administration will be adding
$3,000 to the ASLCC account,
though, and collections taken at
the Martin Luther King
Celebration at the Hult Center
nudged the $2,000 mark. 'Tm

happier with the budget now
than I've ever been," commented Frishberg.
• Magdalene Ang, ASLCC
vice-president, said many professors are concerned about the
sexual harrassment survey,
which is still circulating. She
said they feel threatened by it.
A survey designed for the instructors, according to Ang, will
soon follow. The sexual harrassment committee plans to meet
Friday, Jan. 26, to find out if
something needs to be done
about sexual harassment at
LCC.
• Senators• reports included
mention of the proposal to cut
pan of the smoking section out
of the cafeteria. Several senators
feel that the Senate will end up
becoming involved. And worry
was expressed that students

don't realize they can approach
student government with concerns and complaints about
issues around campus.
• Five clubs came before
ASLCC seeking, and receiving,
ratification and funding; the
Cooperative Communication
Club, the Gay and Lesbian
Alliance,
the
College
Republicans, LCC Legal
Students, and the Lane Writers
Club.
• New business included the
proposal of a smoking ban in
the ASLCC offices. Some senate
members felt smoking caused a
problem with clean-up in the
office, and with the computer,
which is not to be smoked
around. The Senate voted 6-2 in
favor of banning smoking
altogether from the ASLCC offices.

While Rohr produces components for commercial
jets, spokespersons said that a small portion of the
nacelles (the aerodynamic structures surrounding aircraft engines) that the company builds are used in
military applications.
According to Ted Kotsakis, Chairman of the LCC
Mechanics Technology Department, the college will
provide two kinds of training for Rohr employees,
should the facility be built. The pre-employment training for selected, qualified individuals will be an orientation, covering basic skills in mathematics and communications, and basic machining.

In the post-hire phase, LCC will teach the skills actually needed to work in the aerospace facility.
The training at LCC will take place in partnership
with Rohr, the Southern Willamette Private Industry
Council, and the state of Oregon, with each incurring
part of the cost, according to Kotsakis.
Suitable individuals will be selected for employment
with Rohr through a screening process handled by the
State Employment Service and the Southern
Willamette Private Industry Council, he said, and will
then train at LCC.
The cost of the training package was slated at

$160,000 the first year, according to a press release by
the company, although the Southern Willamette
Private Industry Council said it doesn't yet know what
the package will entail.
The company announced its intention at the press
conference to create 65 jobs initially, with the number
growing eventually to 2 50.
Eugene Mayor Jeff Miller said he sees the introduction of Rohr to the Eugene /Springfield area as a way of
alleviating problems, including homelessness, caused
by a lack of jobs in the area.

Titan men edge Linn-Benton's team

Lady Titans
.

win again

by Thatcher Trombley
Torch Sports Editor

The men's Titan basketball
team defeated Linn-Benton
Community College on
,Wednesday, Jan. 24 in a home
game at LCC. This 71-67 win
brings Lane to 5-1 for league
games and 14-5 for the season.
Jason Ward and Jon Dalke
lead the Titans in scoring at 12
points apiece. Three of the
Titans completed a three-point
shot, Doug Piquette, Marty
Lee, and Jason Pond. The
leading re bounder for the
Titans was Eric Obee.

The LCC Lady Titans won their sixth
game on Wednesday, Jan. 24 against
Linn-Benton Community College,
71-67.
Michelle Darry, Linn-Benton's best
scorer, was held to her conference
leading game average of 30 points by the
Titans. "We were going to try to hold
her under her average,'' says Coach Dave
Loos. "We did a little better (on
defense) the second half than the first.''
Loos says, "The team didn't set a true
tempo for the game, and the passing
wasn't real great. But, when you win
ows a
under those circumstances it
lot.''

The downhill and cross country ski classes, offered through
the LCC Outdoor Adventures
Program, were canceled on
Tuesday Jan. 23, due to a lack
of snow.
The classes are held at
Willamette Pass ski area, which
has been •unable to open this
year.
Sixty-five students were
enrolled in the skiing program
at Lane. Dwane Miller, the insructer for the classes, says,
' 'There has never been a problem like this before,'' but added "It runs on a cycle." He says
every 8-10 years there is a winter
with little snow.
The downhill class costs $120
a term and includes: transportation, ski rental, half-day of

lessons and a full-day lift
ticket.' 'Our program is the least
expensive collegiate program of
its kind,'' says Miller
''Willamette has looked out for
LCC and realizes that most
students can't afford a lot".
Miller, who has been
teaching at LCC for 17 years,
says it is "kind of like being a
basketball player without having baskets. '' Miller doesn't see
a chance of continuing the class
this year, which is offered in a
five week session, and says,
"Even if they do get (enough)
snow it'll only last a couple of
weeks.''
''Many people have spent a
lot of time and effort to get the
thing rolling and what do we
have? No conditions to hold the
class," states Miller, "We'll be
back next year and hope the
weather cooperates' '.

l\1edia promotes
Super Bowl hype
commentary by Drew Carter

It all started back in September, as 28 NFL teams began a
grueling 16-game schedule, fighting for the right to play
against the best in the Super Bowl.
It's been narrowed down to two teams who will battle- it
out for the 24th Super Bowl championship, in New Orleans'
Superdome, on Jan. 28.
People across America and around the world will be watching the "team of the '80s," the San Francisco 49ers, go up
against the underdog Denver Broncos.
Both teams have Super Bowl experience. The Niners have
won three championships in the '80s ('82, '85, and '89), and
are trying to become the only team since the Pittsburg
Steelers of the '70s to repeat as champs.
On the other side, the Broncos made back-to-back trips to
the Super Bowl in 1987 and '88; defeated easily by NFC
teams both times.
But is there, perhaps, too much emphasis on the Super
Bowl?
During the two weeks between the conference championships and the season finale, there is so much "hype" by the
news media that the contest itself becomes almost obscured.
And, by the time the trophy is given to the winner, fans will
be sick of hearing about it; at least until next season.

For Linn-Benton the leading
scorer was Chris Whiting with
17 points. Whiting was also the
team's most valuable rebounder
with 12 rebounds. Mike Hall
completed the only three-point
shot for Linn-Benton.
The Titans will play this
weekend against Chemeketa on
Saturday, Jan. 27 at 8 p.m. on
Chemeketa' s home turf.
Chemeketa is currently ranked
second in the southern division
of the Northwest Association of
Community
Colleges.
Chemeketa has lossed only one
league game of seven and is
17-5 over all.

educational purchase program

With the exception of last year, most of the Super Bowls
have been boring and are not much of a contest.
But, I guess if you sit back and think about all the hard
work it takes just to play in the NFL, let alone the Super
Bowl, then why shouldn't the media give teams all the attention they deserve for playing the most prestigious game in
football.

popular due to Chess Records
and the sound they produced in
the early to mid-fifties. He
points out that a lot of blues artists started recording in Memphis, Tenn. and Jackson, Miss.,
then migrated north to
Chicago.
' 'The resulting sound was
really raw, raggedy and scorching with a tough garage edge
to it,'' says Fox. These artists included the likes of Howlin'
Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson,
Elmo James, B.B. King, and
Bobby Bland.
Fox also takes a liking to the
Mississippi Delta pre-war era
and the recordings of Robert
Johnson, Booker White, and
Charlie Patton. "That's the
root of the blues. ' '
The original idea for a KLCC
blues show can be attributed to
Sue Nordquist, a former
University of Oregon student
and a good friend of Fox.
''Nordquist did not know
much about the blues, but she
was energetic about getting it
started,'' says Fox. Nordquist
hosted the show for a short time
and then moved out_of town,

leaving the door wide open for
Fox.
He stepped in with his own
collection of records -- at the
time KLCC only had a small
blues selection -- and began
hosting the three-hour show on
Sat\}rday afternoons.
During the late '70s and early
'80s, Fox traveled, often out of
town for six to eight months at a
time. He traveled to Europe,
North Africa, and the Caribbean.
''I had a real 'travel jones',''
says Fox, explaining his
wanderlust. During his
absences, Blues Power fell into
the hands of friends, Bill
Rhoades and Ray Varner.
' 'They held on to the show and
I never lost touch with it,'' says
Fox. ''It's been my baby since
February, 1977. ''
Two years ago, the station added a fourth hour to the show,
and it has remained on Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
since then.
Fox devotes the first hour of
the show to country blues as a
transition or "segue" aft~r the

folk music program Saturday
Cafe, which precedes Blues
Power. He says it gives him a
chance to do a down-home kind
of thing and focus on the traditional aspects of country blues.
Creativity during Blues Power
is constantly on Fox's agenda.
"A four-hour show gives you a
lot of lee-way to do a number of
things," says Fox. Often, he
will devote a section of the show
to a particular artist, city, or
trend.
''One might say, he is a walking blues encyclopedia,'' says
Steve Barton, General Manager
at KLCC.
Certain textures of the blues,
such as riffs or even genres of
music arise weekly. ''I organize
these ideas during the week, ' '
Fox says.
Whether it's on the radio at
KLCC or at his full time job at
Taylor's Tavern as bar manager,
Fox is constantly involved in
prep work for his programs. Fox
often finds that blues enthusiasts bring him trivia questions.
And if playing and living the
blues isn't enough, "Rooster
Man'' has hosted a musicians'
blues jam Monday nights at
Taylor's for the past five years,
giving local musicians a chance
to sign up and play live blues on
stage. On an average, the jam
involves 35-40 musicians. Fox
coordinates the jam every week.
He plays the harmonica and
guitar, but because of the other
things he has to concentrate on
-- such as the sound mix and
volume -- Fox doesn't perform
at Taylor's.
Fox was also involved with
the Oregon Blues Festivals for a
number of years. All six of the
festivals were organized in
Eugene. Fox remembers the
first two, when Albert Collins
and Floyd Dixon played at the
W.O.W. Hall.
Fox says he welcomes the support of blues in the community.
A Blues Power t-shirt is given to
KLCC contributors of $40 or
more.

Works by 11 women composers will be featured in a lecture/ recital presented by Washington State artists Sandra
Bleiweiss, Margaret Maxwell, and Marilee Plaks-.

Composers honored
by Mary Kathleen Browning
Torch Entertainment Editor

A free lecture/ recital on the musical works and lives of 11
women composers will be presented at LCC, Wednesday,
Feb. 6.
Three Washington musicians -- vocalist and clarinetist
Marilee Plaks, vocalist Margaret Maxwell, and pianist Sandra
Bleiweiss -- will perform works and provide historical
backgroud from each of the artists, in Women Composers
Through the Centuries.
The composers lives vary from a member of the 16th century Medici Court to a French pianist who lived in the first
half of the 20th century. The compostitions include works for
the opera, piano, voice, instrumentals, and symphonies.
The three performers call Women Composers Through the
Centuries a program '' of special interest to women and to
anyone interested in musical, intellectual, or social history.''
The program was researched in Europe -- in Germany,
Austria, France, and England -- as well as in the United
States, in New York City and the Library of Congress.
Women Composers Through the Centuries will be performed in the choir room of the Performing Arts Building
from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
The program is funded by a grant from the Oregon Committee for the Humanities (an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Arts), and sponsored by Women in Music
International and the LCC Women's Program.
For more information call Jill Bradley at the Women's
Center, 747-4501, ext. 2352.
