Addressing the College Council on Tuesday, Feb. 6, Scott Carpenter, chair of the LCC Advocates -- a group of LCC supporters -- said the levy is a continuation of the current levy. That first request was approved by voters in 1966, and again in 1987, after the original bonds funding the college were paid off. If passed, the levy will raise $725,000 per year , beginning July, 1991 -- costing property owners nine cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation, according . to Carpenter. Funds from the levy will finance projects that are not covered by normal operating funds, such as structural repairs, and lighting and ventilation system improvements, according to Carpenter. He says if the levy fails to pass, funding for these projects will have to come out of normal operation funds, meaning cuts will occur in other areas.

The campus was closed Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning classes were canceled due to the snow. Carpenter told the council that in securing passage of the levy, the Advocates are planning a "low-key" strategy, which concentrates on the "yes votes." Four sub-committees with representatives from the three bargaining units on campus and from the student body are being developed, according to Carpenter, to: • Organize fundraising • Write letters to newspaper editors • Establish voter registration • Develop a phone _,bank of "yes votes" and remind these people to return their ballots.

It is deliberate, with the intent of focusing on what she will say, "I'm a recovering child abuser.'' Donna Salata, mother of two girls.Jaime, 5, and Christina, 8, uses this breathing technique often during the interview. And the word ''recovering,'' too, is used often and spoken with that same intent of focusing. By using that word, she is remembering what she wants to be -- a good parent -- while admitting to herself the reality of the past. ''I need to realize the shame in my own life," she says, "so I don't pass it on to my kids." Salata says this is all part of how to address recovery. It's also part of three steps she lists as necessary for beginning recovery: • Take responsibility for your actions • Be honest about your feelings to yourself and to those around you, including children -- if you're angry, say so, if you think you may loose control, say so and step away from the situation • Eliminate the kinds of situations that cause shame. One day five years ago, says Salata, the Children's Service Division (CSD -- the arm of the state welfare system that protects the rights of children) came to her door and said she was abusing Jaime through neglect and took Jaime away. Looking at pictures taken that day, she agrees her child looked like one of those starving children in impoverished third world nations. ''But, honest to God," says Salata, "I couldn't see it then.'' And, looking at the photographs several months after that fateful day, she says she also realizes she was physically abusing Christina as well; a problem CSD was not aware of. Salata attributes her abusiveness in part to a heavy drug problem. "Some times she'd just get in the way of me getting my fix," Salata says after another deep breath. pboto by Deborah Pickett LCC student Donna Salata appeared on the Feb. 6 ''Oprah Winfrey Show" intending to promote the recovery of child abusers in certain situations, but instead found a hostile environment. While not an excuse, she says the isolation of being a single mother may also have been a contributing factor. "The pressure of things like bills piling up gets to be pretty hard to handle," she says. Like some abusive parents, Salata avoided social contacts to hide the abuse. Soon after Jaime was taken from her and placed in a foster home, Salata began the recovery process that led to the eventual return of her daughter. Part of that "on-going process," as she puts it, was parent training through CSD. ' 'Society expects parents to know how to parent," but that is just not the case, she says. "I had to learn what a good parent does. I had to learn what a normal 3-year-old child does.' ' Rather than be a passive participant in recovery, Salata decided to get involved in the process. For a year she facilitated a support group at CSD for abusive parents with drug problems. For two years , Salata sat on a panel discussion Turn to Salata, page 7 EDITORIALS Anti-apartheid groups legalized, still apartheid reigns commentary by Michael Omogrosso Torch Editor And, on Saturday morning, Feb. 3, the story read ... The African National Congress, outlawed for 30 years, has been legalized in South Africa ... Nelson Mandela, the ANC leader imprisoned for the last 27 years, will soon be freed ... The world over, people were congratulating South African Pres. F.W. de Klerk on his bravery for opposing the hard-line, right-wing South Afrikanners and lifting the ban on anti-apartheid groups in South Africa. And yet, on the day of thi~ proclamation the police force of Johannesburg tear-gassed 1,000 protesters who are marching peaceably in the streets. The time for rejoicing is not yet here. As Mandela's daughter said on Arsenio Hall's Feb. 2 broadcast, even though her father's release is imminent, children are still dying in the streets, and apartheid is still the order of the day for South Africa. President Bush has allowed a glimpse of his true nature as well. He has shown solidarity with the white South African system of segregation. He's looking for the first excuse to lift sanctions against the Pretoria government. His eagerness sends a signal to apartheid supporters to seek a compromise which gives that excuse, while still maintaining the country's direction on the road of apartheid. No sanctions should be lifted by any nation or individual until all South Africans stand united in the bond of freedom. And freedom for all cannot begin to exist without fair and equal representation in the government; without the right for all people to cast their voices for a representative government, regardless of the hue of their skin. Here in the United States, the month of February is, among other designations, Black History month . But it is not a time to rejoice. It is, rather, ·a time to reflect on how far this nation has progressed towards . eliminating the separation of humanity by race, and how far it still needs to go. Vegetarian nuns?

"It's an equation of my own invention that has been published in the National Enquirer, and I expect it to be ac- cepted by the New England Journal of Medicine any time now. Not to mention my books, which should be in better supermarkets nation wide next week." Says Mr. Rational, in an agitated voice, "You based all this on a bogus formula from your own imagination?

Says G.O.P.S., "Now there's no need to get insulting. Dr. Expert, how many of these couples have you interviewed?" "Well, none of them were willing to come forward. I first learned of this when I treated a crack addict, who, in his delirium and hallucinations, confessed his love for a sister, and his street address was 666. The next day I began my research. ''Are you serious?'' Mr. Rational screeches. G.O.P.S. ponders a moment and asks, "How prevalent do you think this is Doctor. ?'

Turn to Attention, page 5 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Column Torch~ To the Editor: The Torch seems to neglect a variety of student issues, covering instead either fluff or issues that already have forums in other publications. My complaint lies specifically with Dr. Decorum , and the covering of issues that don't directly affect students. What is the point of Dr. Decorum? Is the sage words of advice from Dr. Decorum intended to lighten th<. load of pressure the average student undergoes through vague attempts at satire? Or is the advice of the Doctor intended to insult the intelligence of the average student here at LCC? How will concern that many citizens already feel for the environment address the issues of Education that is being neglected by our Education President, George Bush? How will a story covering the values of organic farming or old growth reclaimation in Yellowstone National Park (that filled a full page and three quarters page of two issues of the Torch fall term) inform the student body of present legislation before congress that adresses childcare issues or financial aid issues? Or the status of student loans? They don't. The Torch seems Page 2 February 9, 1990 to be neglecting the student body they are guided to inform of issues that affect students. Sincerely, Randy Brown Re-elect Lewis To the Editor: As you may have heard, Lane Community College Board of Education member Martin Lewis is running for a second term in the March elections. You should be aware of the fact that it is in the students' best interests for Martin to be reelected. In the seven months that I have been working with the LCC board, I have come to know Manin as a strong supporter of stucient autonomy and a tireless advocate for quality education that is both accessible and affordable. In board meetings, Manin consistently asks me for the students' views on issues that affect them. Furthermore, Manin is a former LCC student and was the director of the ASLCC Student Resource Center during the term of former ASLCC !>resident Cindy Weeldreyer. Manin is currently a student at the U of 0, majoring in Planning, Public Policy, and Management. While Manin and I have not The Torch necessarily seen eye-to-eye on every issue that we have dealt with, I feel strongly that he is a valuable asset to us and that it would be a great loss for the students if he were defeated. Both I and the rest of ASLCC give our enthusiastic endorsement to Martin Lewis for reelection to the at-large position of the LCC Board of Education. In Student Unity, Andy Harris ASLCC President Note: Editor's Martin Lewis will be on campus Ripped-off To the Editor: A not-so-funny thing happened to me on the way to the shower Monday after P .E. class.

Where are black studies programs? By Bill Powell Editor's Note: LCC English Instructor Bill Powell was asked by the Torch Editorial Board to write a guest forum on Black Studies. Powell is the first writer in a new series of guest forums the Torch plans to publish. Black Studies. Why, after 20 years (since 1970), would the Torch ask about a program that lasted one year on this campus? A program that started out with six transferable offerings in Literature, History, Psychology and Political Science, of which only one is still taught. Was the program here ahead of its time or was it destined to fail? During the late '60s, fruitful and academically respectable black studies programs were envisioned, not only at LCC, but across the country. Such programs were created because of social unrest in the form of riots, protests, and assassinations. The federal government had concluded, after selecting a committee to study the problems (Report of the National Adivisory Commission on Civil Disorders, 1968), that racism was endemic in our nation, definitely including academia. Millions of dollars were, for the first time, set aside for black recruitment in the bastions of ''higher learning.'' However, upon the arrival of black students, who had been promised an education by the same institutions that had, in past, systematically excluded them, either by standards of evaluation or by admission policies, these students entered an alien world. They found that they were being exposed to a body of knowledge which, in effect, continued to exclude them. Not only did it discriminate against them, but it defined them as illiterate, and not capable of taking their logical place in this society. Realizing this, these students rebelled and called for black courses, preferably with black teachers, which would give them something to identify with, while giving white students and faculty some minimal understanding of black experience and black culture. The colleges and universities, in order to keep these students from dropping out, which would have destroyed their new revenue from the government, adapted. Out of guilt, out of good faith? At LCC, whatever the reason, six new courses were created and three black instructors (only one is left) were hired. LCC by 1971 had more than 70 black students, some of whom went on to become professionals in the fields of law, medicine, education, and law enforcement. But they found that the program that they had fought to create· the year before, was being subverted by a new institutional approach to conflict avoidance -- Ethnic Studies. Native Americans and Chicanos, who now voiced their disapproval with the system, were being heard. It was decided that monies initially earmarked for black studies would be shared. The Afro-American Studies Program was changed to Ethnic Studies, which, ironically, became a department in 1971-72. Apparently there was a fixed budget for minorities. If new minorities appeared, the black studies budget was divided to accomodate them. It seems that only so much money could be allocated to minoritv culture courses. Since 1971, black studies programs around the nation found likewise that their resources were cut to accomodate the legitimate demands of other groups. At LCC, the implementation of tJ'ie Women's Studies program further cut into the minority budget. In 1976, the Ethnic Studies Department (now under a new name) ceased to exist, although classes had been fully enrolled. By 1976, many black studies programs and departments were dropped. Their academic materials were integrated into traditional departments, due, we were then told, to a lack of money. The government had cut back on its support, and the institutions responded immediately; lack of support seemed to prevent the need for these programs. Black student enrollment, not so coincidentally, declined dramatically. The black voice became a whisper; the familiar pattern of brief encouragement followed by neglect, both of black studies and of black student recruitment, was an old story. New forms of white racism, media emphasis ._, of black victimization·of blacks, massive unemployment, drugs, homelessness -- these in my view demand renewed attention to Black Studies. Sadly, intellectual institutions do not respond to intellectual necessities, but to economic pressures. So, we have left one black literature course per year at LCC. If the Torch can give me the space, I would like very much to continue the exploration of these very serious problems at a later date. pho10 by Nicodemus Pederson English instructor Bill Powell, LCC's only full-time black faculty member, corrects papers in his office. Powell laments the loss of the Black Studies Program at Lane. Go for grant writer; go Jor success commentary by Michael Omogrosso Study after study indicates the educational system in this country is in dire straits. And, while at LCC the quality of instruction suffers no great illness, the maladies of aging facilities, skyrocketing personnel costs (due primarily to the even faster escalating insurance premiums), and an expanding student population ( thereby increasing the demand for new classroom structures and centralized student services in a Student Union) need to be remedied. The prescription is more money. One remedy is for the college to curry the favors of the voters in an attempt to increase property taxes. But history shows a low success rate for that approach. Another is to request the legislature to appropriate more money, most likely from a sales tax, but the college could just as well wait for hell to freeze over. Or, responding with yet another remedy, LCC could follow the examples of colleges that increasingly embrace grant writing as part of the solution. People at LCC seek grants, but the process generally takes overly ambitious individuals spending several weeks worth of time snatched from between their normal duties for the college and their personal life. Speaking from experience, grant writing means collecting mountains of facts, sorting those facts into a readable document, and rewriting that document several times to maximize its salability. And then comes the hard part, at least for the nonprofessional grant writer: waiting --perhaps from several months to over a year -- to find out if the grant will be funded. More than one instructor has sworn to never sweat that kind of blood again. Institutional grant writing should not rely on workers to pick up the ball during offhours. Rather, in the case of organizations the size and scope ofLCC, it should be the responsibility of no less than one full- time employee versed in the special expertise of grant writing. This writer/ researcher could identify grants that would fit well to the structure and purpose of the college and coordinate/ review grants written by other members of the college community. While funding from the legislature and donations from generous benefactors like Mr. Wayne Shields are always welcome and a necessary part of the prescription to remedy economic deficiencies in education, LCC must take an aggressive roll in tapping the treasure house of grants for a balanced cure. The right first step has just been taken with the reactivation of the Grants Steering Committee, chaired by LCC 's Associate Director of Institutional Advancement, Diane Dann. The next meeting is Feb. 21, at 10 a.m. on the mezzinine of the library. Everyone is welcome. Now, all that remains is administering the prescription. "Go for Success," LCC. Go for Grants. The Torch February 9, 1990 Page 3 Departments c9mpete for limited funds Data Processing seeks software by Barbara Barlow for the Torch LCC 's Data Processing Department wants the college to purchase up-to-date software for computer classes and campus labs. Data Processing offers four vocational degrees and a computer science transfer program, as well as service courses in computing that help students fulfill degree requirements or special interest needs. According to Department Chair Linda Loft, new software is necessary to provide a high quality learning environment. The anticipated cost for this activity is $5,000 per year for the next five years, starting next year. The plan calls for upgrading current IBM software such as Pascal, ''C,'' and Lotus programs. It also calls for 17 new Macintosh computer programs such as MicrosoftWord, Superpaint, and Pagemaker. Longer doctor's hours requested by Larry Boman for the Torch The campus doctor's hqurs, and those of the LCC drug abuse prevention counselor, should be extended, says Sandra Ing ,Student Health Service (SHS) director. In her proposal for next year Ing asks to expand the oncampus physician's hours from 16 hours a week to 20. She also asks to expand to full-time the position of Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator. For this year only, SHS provided half-time funding for this position, and the ASLCC paid for a part-time drug counseling and education position. Ing's proposal also seeks a summer clerk to help with administrative work while the service is closed and preparing for the fall term; and a medical clerk to help with the day-today functioning of the SHS. CWE needs new program funding by Karen Ludwig for the Torch LCC Students earn about $4 million a year by working through Cooperative Work Experience (CWE), but getting the word out to enough potential student workers and employers is a hurdle for 1990-91. CWE at Lane is the largest community college program in the country, providing on-thejob training that is matched with the student's major, says Bob Way, CWE division chair. While enrolled at LCC, many Page 4 February 9, 1990 Last December, all LCC departments submitted budget proposals for the 1990-91 college year -- including requests for new programs, facilities, activities, and personnel. While the college can fund only a few of these requests, The Torch is publishing several examples this week and next. • students usually work for pay in Lane Coul).ty businesses and agencies, he says. In fact, Way says the program now works with 800 employers who are training about 2,000 CWE students. About 70 percent of them are eventually offered permanent jobs. Way explains that promotion of the program is important because the more prospective employers in the CWE program, the more jobs will be available to the students. He says CWE has requested additional funding in order to develop cooperative work experience programs in six new areas: drug and alcohol treatment, technical writing; science . laboratory technical fields; biomedicine; community services; and political science. The chairman says that funding that was covering the salaries of three staff members is no longer available. The department has used up its five-year eligibility for the Title V111 Cooperative Education Grant. And he adds that two years ago the department's operating budget was cut by $65.000. ''If I can't locate some extra money, •the program probably won't offer the clerical work experience through the LCC Downtown Center," he says. Women's Center seeks expansion by Deborah Pickett for the Torch In addition to the Women's Transition Program, the LCC Women's Center offers cns1s resources, information, support, and referrals for ·hundreds of women each term, according to Barry. Campus Ministry stretches resources by Rachael Roth for the Torch "We're not part of LCC, and we don't get any money from LCC," says Father James Dieringer, director of the LCC Campus Ministry (CM) office. Rather, CM gets 70 to 80 percent of its funding from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Portland. Contributions from . St. Mary's Episcopal Church, the Baptist Student Union, and the Westminster Presbyterian Church make up the balance. Dieringer says that the funds are barely enough to scrape by. ' 'We stretch the funds quite . far, primarily from the dedication of the people here. ' ' He receives his personal income from LCC wood working classes he often teaches in the evenings, and from local Catholic Churches, where he substitutes on occasion. From its office in Room 242 in the Center Building, CM serves several functions for the campus. CM makes it possible for ministers to give out counseling and "listening" to any student who asks for help; occasionally CM's staff can provide emergency loans to students; and it gives out three or four food vouchers weekly through St. Vincent de Paul. Together with the Women's Center and the ASLCC, CM runs the Clothing Exchange located in Room 301 in the Physical Education Building, offering free clothing to anyone who needs it. The LCC Women's Center wants to expand the Women's Transitions program, and to operate during the summer months. Women's Transitions -- a program for displaced homemakers and single parents -- helps about 30 economically disadvantaged women per term to be economically selfsufficient.

Part of The Torch the curriculum would · require students to work at public or private facilities which treat dependency. Mitchell is aware of the scarcity of funding for new projects but says his department is going ahead with the curriculum proposal process, nevertheless. He anticipates the cost at about $18,500. Mitchell says this program is important because, "It is the most significant area where training is needed." He says that addiction goes beyond drugs and alcohol and extends to other forms of dependency, such as co-dependent relationships. ''This is a tremendous problem that hasn't been acknowledged in the community or here at LCC until just recently.,, LCC hadn't employed a specialist on campus until last fall when LCC's Student Health Service and the ASLCC (student government) combined funds to hire Harvey Bond as a substance abuse counselor, and drug and alcohol education specialist. Playwright resource center sought by Keith Rutz for the Torch The Performing Arts Department has proposed that the college develope a resource center for Northwest playwrights. ''The resource center would offer a series of classes and workshops aimed at developing the playwright,'' explains Dick Reid, Performing Arts Department chairman. •The department proposes that established playwrights would give workshops. It would offer new playwrights a forum for learning the creative process of writing new plays. And it would stage scenes with actors to see how new script would be interpreted by an audience. The plan to develop a center actually began two years ago when Jerry Siefert, currently an LCC theater instructor, began teaching a series of play writing classes. Siefert, a published playwright, started a "new play festival'' on the LCC campus during the summer. ''This festival has been a success," says Reid. "We have manuscripts coming in from other playwrights who want to present their work.'' Last year's selections included one of Seifert's own plays, as well as plays from two of his students. ''The Performing Arts Department will continue promoting the idea of a resource center at LCC despite the lack of funding," says Reid. Athletic' s requests $60,000 increase by Drew Carter for the Torch Parts of the Athletic Department's request for $60,000 in additional funding stand a good chance for approval, says of one administrator. In late December, Athletic Director Bob Foster made a special presentation to the LCC Board of Education, asking for increased funding for the 1990-91 college year. Interim Vice President for Student Services Bob Marshall says ''The funds .for athletics have a high priority, (but) there is no way I can predict how far through the process Foster's plan will go. But I assume that a fair portion will get accepted through the final process.'' Foster says his department has six separate budget needs: $7,000 to boost salaries of parttime and assistant coaches; $10,842 to hire a part-time athletic trainer; $10,842 to fund an intramurals coordinator; $10,000 to increase the budgets for all existing intercollegiate sports at LCC; $10,000 for equipment maintenance; and $4,000 to supplement the transportation budget of th.e department. Foster told the board that in the 1984-85 college year, the college's general fund supplied $237, 590 to athletics, while for 1989-90, the college provided only $187,985. ''We have basically been underfunded for years,'' says Foster. Art Dept. needs new class funding by Tessie Rupp Torch Staff Writer Although it has more modest requests, at the top of the Art and Applied Design Department1 s list for new activities is a uew building to house all Art Department disciplines under one roof. At the present time, according to department Administrative Coordinator Kitty Seymour, art classes being taught in buildings all over the campus. The department's immediate request is to add courses to existing curricula. One request is to include a third term to the art history sequence. Another proposes to expand the Graphic Design Program offerings. These goals are important to the department, says Seymour, because it wants to "offer a wide range of courses at the highest quality. By getting funding for these activities, we can continue to do that.'' 'Sponsor a Fish' project balances a delicate variety of organisms J. of the filtering, plumbing and lighting himself. The system is state-of-the-an. With so many variables, success and failure go hand in hand. ''Balance is very difficult to achieve," adds Null. For example, a variety of life forms tagged along with the coral and rocks. With so many life forms added so quickly, Null says the tank could easily be overloaded in certain parts of the reef cycle and the whole system could be polluted . However he feels confident that the system has made it. However, he says to maintain the eco-balance, invertebrates are necessary -- cleaner shrimp, snails, and anemones, are needed and Null recommends that people interested in sponsoring a fish consider an invenabrate instead. Whatever the choice, Null recommends approving the selection with him first. F~r purchasing specimens for the tank, Null recommends The Fish Store on West 11th and Little Ocean on Franklin Boulevard. He plans to develop and post a list designating what life forms exist in the tank and the name of their sponser.

Under new federal regulations, an area achieves wetland statusifitprovestohavecertain types of soil and is saturated with water part of the year, without the previous qualification of wetland-type plants existing there. According to a Nov. 12 article in The RegisterGuard, this rule will "cause a huge amount of disturbed agricultural land in the state to be considered wetlands by the federal government." Before the new rules, biologists identified 765 acres of wetlands in West Eugene, of which 465 had been zoned for industrial use . The city, having already spent $12 million on sewers and streets in the area, was, .even then, grappling with the issue of wetland relpacement. Because of the new federal rules, the estimate of existing wetlands in the area has grown to between 2,300 and 3,100 acres. Eugene is the first city in Oregon to deal with the new areas but definition, throughout the Willamette Valley and along the coast will inevitably follow. ''The impact of wetlands on areas in West Eugene affects the whole region," says Steve Gordon, project manager for West Eugene Wetlands Special Area Study (WE W SAS . ) The WEWSAS study is scheduled to be complete in July, 1990. The study's goal is to create more awareness of management methods for these sensitive , lands on a local level while following federal and state laws. DOING TAXES CAN MAKE YOU FEEL GREAT.

This Publlcat1on & LJIII \.•. lOUlCI Service The WEWSAS study is sponsored by the City of Eugene and £\inded by a grant f~om the Env1ronmental Protection Agency. Tim Bingham of the Lane Council of Goverments (L-COG) said, "Without the city doing the study, there would be a cloud of uncertainty about how to deal with the wetlands." The federal government has sent mixed signals concerning wetlands management. Until recently federal agencies, ineluding the USDA Soil Conservation Service, have been supportive of wetland destruction. Wetlands have long been drained for farming with federal approval. Other wetlands, such as the once huge marsh now predominatly under the waters of the Fern Ridge Reservoir, have been dammed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. But in 1975, the US Supreme Court ruled wetlands subject to the Clean Water Act. Wetlands were designated as part of the Federal Waterways System in 1977. What defines wetlands remains unclear, however. In 1979 the City of Eugene recruited Spectra Physics to establish an industrial plant in West Eugene on property that was not known to have wetland status. The company then found itself guilty of violating the new regulations, and the EPA demanded reparations. The city is determining how to develop new industry in West Eugene while mitigating the impact of the development: This is to be done by ' 'creating'' new wetlands to compensate for those that are disturbed. Rohr Industries, which is considering constuction of an aerospace plant near the Eugene Airport, is seen as a test case. According to an article by D.L. Sonnichsen in the Feb. 1 issue of What's Happening, "Rohr's plant in the city of Riverside (CA) has an abominable environmental record." The soil and groundwater around this plant have been contaminated with high toxicity and heavy metal, partly due to the company accidentally dumping 3000 gallons of solvent directly into the ground, according to Sonnichsen. fZ.,Yf tf'K'I' t.z:tJJ'(U}6'.·:• .~ -.,_ 1111-'··· • l•ltijililali1ril He says the Anza flood control channel, which runs through Rohr's Riverside plant, with contaminated is trichloroethene. Signs point to the plant as the source of this substance. Rhor's official position, though, is that a WWII army camp in the area is to blame. The US Fish and Wildlife Service reports that wetlands throughout the country shelter one third of the nation's endangered species. Over half of the nation's wetlands are gone, it says . Scientists now consider wetlands one of the most biologically active environments in the world.

The existence of most of these types of wetlands was unknown prior to biological inventories done in 1987 and 1988. Wetlands in West Eugene are connected hydrologically by Amazon Creek. ''The Amazon is the spine of the wetland system,'' says Bingham. Besides the Amazon, the wetlands are connected by the A-3 drainage, which drains the West 7th industrial area, and also by Willow Creek, relatively natural in its upper reaches. The Willow Creek area is ''the finest remnant Willamette Valley prairies grasslands in Oregon , '' according to 1-COG. If the city can resolve the problem of balancing environmentally sound economic development with wetland reserves ' enhancement and mitigation, Eugene could serve as a model of how it is done. As Steve Gordon of 1-COG was quoted in the Nov. 26, Register-Guard story, "If you can't do it in Eugene, you can't do it anywhere in the country. '' L-COG is giving a free tour of the area's wetlands, and conducting a workshop to present the findings of field work conducted by Scientific Resources, Inc. Proposed jurisdictional wetland boundaries and the function and values of wetlands will be discussed.

English, American culture taught by ESL .Program by Teri Van Blaricom Torch Staff Wn'ter Magdalene Ang spoke English when she came to this country from her native Singapore. But, like many other international students, she was unsure of her English skill level. She consulted LCC International Student Counselor Mason Davis, who advised her to take Writing 110 in the English as a Second Language (ESL) Program. The ESL Program is part of the Study Skills Program. The staff teaches international students skills such as effective learning, vocabulary, grammer, writing, and conversational skills, according to ESL instructor Frank Rossini. Using the ESL Program as a springboard, Ang has risen above the challenges of being a non-native student, and was elected vice president of the ASLCC for this school year. When international students arrive at LCC they must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), which determines what skills they need to build, Rossini says. He adds that if international students' skills are not high enough, they must go to the ESL program at the Downtown Center (OTC) and take noncredit skill building classes there. Maxine Frauman, who teaches in the ESL program at the DTC, says it is the feeling of the ESL staff at the OTC that · "in this community, the non-native speaker is invisible.'' She explains many international students and immigrants are drawn to the Eugene area because they feel safe in this peaceful community, but they also feel isolated because of the language barrier. One task of the ESL staff, she says, '' is to make the community aware of (ESL students).'' She says students are sent into the community to businesses to learn about daily operations . Rossini says there is a movement on campus to coordinate programs for international students, such as the Multicultural Center, International Students Club, and ESL into one system. He also indicated the program hopes to integrate international and American students. He says another goal of the ESL program is to prepare international students for the differences between American colleges and colleges in their native countries. The American classroom style is less formal than that of many other countries, says Rossini . Instructors are sometimes not sensitive to cultural differences, he says, and will misinterpret international students' behavior. For example, oriental cultures often offer assistance that may be interpeted as cheating. Preparing students for these reactions is still another goal of ESL instructors. Discussions of 'Geraldo ' topics prove offending at mealtime Dear Readers, This week's column is a continuation of last week's column which was devoted to questions of etiquette. As before, I am utilizing ''Etiquette for Today'' written by Shiela Ostrander (and published in 1968) as a basis from which to add further comment. Last week we considered dating etiquette, and this week we review table manners. Dr.D Shiela Ostrander - ' ' At a dinner party, the hostess will tell you which chair is yours." Dr.D - If the hostess indicates a stool situated next to a place setting at a workbench in the garage, you have probably said something during the predinner conversation with which she took umbrage. Subjects which lead to offending others should be avoided at such gatherings, and most often involve sex, religion, politics, or any thing seen on "Geraldo." S. 0 . - ''When everyone is seated at the table and before the napkin is unfolded or any food touched, grace may be said by the host." Dr.D - If you are the host, and the only thing you can think to say is, ''Good food, good meat, good God, let's eat, ' ' call for silent prayer. That particular prayer is only appropriate at exploratory winter camps above the Arctic circle. S.O . - "At home or m a restaurant, the table is set with cutlery arranged in order of use 'from the outside in.' For whatever course comes first, you' 11 need the utensils on the S.O. - ''Even if the woman is an expert on wines, she asks a man to choose a wine for her.

"Haute Cuisine restaurants usually follow Russian service. Russian Czars insisted that each course of a meal be served separately, and that the dishes be removed before the next course arrived.

LCC Learning Resource Center The Torch February 9, 1990 Page 7 SPORTS Titan men defeated by number one Cougars in /,ast seconds by Paul S. Morgan Torch Sports Writer In the waning moments of the game, down four points against Southern Division leader Clackmas CC, the Titan men's basketball team couldn't find its range or any breaks, and fell shon of upsetting the Cougars, 70-69, Feb. 3 at LCC. Two tough oversights by the officials and poor shooting by the Titans overshadowed a couple of top notch 21-point performances by LCC guard Jason Ward and LCC forward Rick Miller, as Clackamas hung on to remain undefeated in the Southern Division with a 10-0 record. The Titans dropped to 6-4 and tied with Umpqua for third place in the Southern Division with four games to go. With the playoff situation getting tight, the Titans must control its own destiny and win the rest of its games to ensure the easiest road through the playoffs to the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges Championships in March. But , controlling its own destiny is something the Titans did not do against third-ranked Clackamas. Trailing the Cougars 68-64 with 1: 28 left in the game, Ward squared up for a threepoint attempt in the corner. A Cougar defender came crashing down on him for an obvious foul, but the call was not made, and after a timeout the Titans missed three shot opponunities. LCC was forced to foul. With 23 seconds left the Titans fouled guard David Daniels, who had hurt LCC in the earlier meeting between these teams with 25 points, but managed only ten in this outing. Daniels sank both of the free throws to put Clackamas up six, 70-64. The Titans brought the ball down quickly and dished it to forward Eric O bee under the hoop for an easy shot with 17 seconds left. An LCC foul stopped the clock with seven seconds left. The Cougar free throw attempt glanced off the rim and into the hands of Obee, who quickly got the ball to Ward streaking down the sidelines. Ward cut to the middle and let go a 21-footer that swished through the hoop with two seconds remaining. The Titans immediately called time-out but could only watch as the clock expired. The Titan players and coaches, however, felt they should not have allowed themselves to be in that situation. "I can't explain it," said Assistant Coach Monte Alderson. ''We tried to put them in a game situation during practice but sometimes players get caught in the moment and it may cost you two points or the game. '' In this case it cost the Titans both. ' 'We should not have been in that situation,'' explained Alderson. ''We should have put them away, but everything contributed to that one moment.'' Titan Head Coach Dale Bates agreed. ''I was extremely disappointed ," he explained. "We should have beaten them, but we just haven't shot the ball well." And about the lost two seconds? ' ..We might have gotten a charge or stolen the ball, ' ' said Bates. ''I thought we still had a couple of seconds, but it shouldn't have come down to that." After a terrible start the Titans made up an 11 point deficit with a 13-2 run to tie the game at 19 with 8:25 to go in the first half. Miller contributed ~-- photo by Thatcher Trombley Titan freshman .Eric Obee gets fouled by Cougar sophomore Todd Spencer while shooting. six of his 21 points during this stretch, including a thunderous dunk off the break to pull the Titans to within four. Ward also dropped one of his five threepointers on the night during that run. The teams traded baskets until LCC took the lead and went to the locker room with a 32-31 halftime advantage. That was the last lead the Titans would see all night. LCC relinquished the lead early in the second half and never gained it back, due in part to shooting problems. The Titans shot just 45 percent for the game, just slightly above their season average of 42. 6 percent from the field. On the plus side of that statistic, the Titans lead the league in defense, holding opponents to a measley 40 percent from the field, and 67 points per game. But, Clackamas guard Tim Osburn shredded the Titan defense for 25 points, 17 of them coming from the field, to lead all scorers. Ward was five for nine from behind the three-point stripe, and Miller shot eight for 14 from the field for the Titans. Obee snagged nine rebounds as LCC out-rebounded Clackamas, 34-28. Men fall to fourth in Southern division by Thatcher Trombley Torch Sports Editor The LCC men's basketball team men lost their second game this week, this time to Umpqua 76-69. The Titans are now fourth in NW AA CC Southern Division league play. Sophmore Doug Piquette and freshman Eric Obee, two of Lane's key players, both fouled out of the game. Lane as a team was charged with 25 fouls. Freshmen Jason Ward, and Rick Miller led Lane in scoring, with 23 and 15 points respectively. The Titans were able to hold Umpqua's overall leading scorer Carlos Richard to nine points, well below his 15.6 average. However, Umpqua freshman Tim Briscoe responded with 22 points of his own as Umpqua YOUR LIFT TICKET pulled away from a halftime tie.

Just last week the Lady Titans held a share of first place with Clackamas CC, who pummeled LCC l:ast Saturday. This was the third time LCC and Umpqua have met this year, with Lane winning the first two. "It's tough beating a team three times, especially on their home court" says Loos. Freshman Kristi Potter was the leading scorer for Lane with 17 points. "It was the best game of the year for Kristi," said Coach Dave Loos. '' She has improved a lot.'' LCC freshman Kristi Potter attempts a basket against number one ranked Clackamas. by Thatcher Trombley Torch Sports Editor Playing at home, the LCC women's basketball team had a chance to take the number one spot in the league away from the visiting Cougars of Clackamas CC. But the Lady Titans were steamrolled by the Cougars, 92-68. Clackamas made the first shot of the game, and dominated from the outset of the contest. After five and a half minutes of play, Clackamas had out-paced Lane by doubling the Titans scoring output. LCC called a time-out, but its troubles continued until five minutes further into the game when Kristi Potter forced a Cougar turnover and Kelli Stonelake scored, ending a five and a half minute scoreless period for Lane. With only a minute left in ·the half, there was a 15 point gap between the teams. Lane, expressing urgency to catch up, fired off seven unanswered points. "They made a run, we made a run," said Coach Dave Loos. ''We didn't shoot too good for the first half, but we got it to less than 10." The second half didn't work out any better for the Titans. "We played hard but the shots weren't falling," said Carrie Redifer. "We had too many turnovers. We came out fired up after the half because of our run before," she added. "Then they shot off five (points), so we got discouraged. ' ' Other than two three-point shots· by Stacy Jepson and Tanya Travess,in the last minute, these- cond half didn't go well for Lane. Jepson and Travess each drained two threepoint shots on the evening. Clackamas, which has two of the top three three-point shooters in the league, was held to only two three-point baskets. "Our biggest thing is we switch our defense," said Clackamas Assistant Coach Doug Coffman, explaing his teams defensive success. "(We) confused Lane by three different defenses. We came into the game knowing we had to slow Jepson and Stonelake. ' ' Coffman said, ''The second half we took advantage of our height on the inside -- our girls play agressive defense. ' 'They' re (Lane) by far the second best team in the league. Around playoffs, we will meet again,'' claimed Coffman. ''I don't think anyone else can beat Lane. They have great quickness and shooting. '' Said Lane's leading scorer Stacy Jepson, "We had 29 turnovers, double what our average is. Our shots weren't going in. They had a better night and that's who ended up winning." • ''Their ranked number one and pretty well deserving of it,'' says Coach Loos. ''It's great that we can be in a position to play in such an important game.'' He further says it was an excellent experience for the Titan women. '' All we expected of them is to play hard," says Loos, "and they gave it an honest effort. We'll get this game behind us and concentrate on the next one. '' Two of LCC 's best shooters were kept short of reaching their game averages. Stacy Jepson averaging 15.1 points per game, was held to only six. Kelli Stonelake, who averages of 13.4 points per game, was held to nine.

For now, Seifert's job is temporary. She was offered the position through June, by Department Head Dick Reid. In June, both the Publicist's and the Box Office Manager's positions will be re-evaluated. photo by Erin Naillon New publicist, Myrna Seifert Seifert has kept her position ·as Box Office Manager, in addition to the new job. Both jobs are classified as part-time positions. Seifert says, ''I really enjoy this type of work. I love working with the students, helping to develop their talents. I want to empower the students.'' Seifert and her husband owned a small theater at one time, and she says she wants to see more students studying theater management. ''I want to show students what type of opportunities there are in the management field. The business side of the theater arts can be fun, too," says Seifert. ''I want to help students see that.''

The .Torch ASLCC granted $1,093 to Denali, LCC's nationally recognized, literary and arts magazine, at the Feb. 5 Senate meeting. ASLCC had to transfer some funds from the Martin Luther King Celebration budgetline to accomodate the magazine, but in doing so, insured publication of the Winter issue. Editor Della Lee submitted the request for funding to cover the costs of publishing the winter 1990 issue of Denali at the Jan. 29 senate meeting. Lee included an itemized list of the projected expenses for this term with the request, which listed the costs of postage, replacing the glass and the light bulbs in the magazine's light table as expenses. In a letter outlining Denali 's appeal and the reasons for it, Lee stated that Dena/i's income this year was $1,312.20, and the expenses for the magazine so far have totaled $1,246.74. The magazine offered the high impact and visibility of Denali as good reason for ASLCC to grant them the needed funds. Lee sited figures in the letter which indicate that as many as 12,000 of last year's copies of Denali were read by LCC students and the local community. The present yearly budget for Denali is not adequate to publish the minimum of three issues that the LCC Media Commission directs the magazine to publish annually. The budget covered the production costs for only the Fall 1989 issue. TheDenali staff is working to increase the publication's budget. A formal budget increase request is currently being prepared for the _magazine, but other, informal requests have already been submitted to the college vice-presidents. Denali has also been working with Vice-Presidents Bob Marshall and Jacqueline Belcher to develop funding strategies to finance the spring issue. Lee says they are trying to accurately assess the magazine's needs and to explore Dena/i's resources. Denali also received $364 from the Marketing Council to promote its 20th Anniversary Commemorative Art Show, set for exhibition April 9. This sum covers the costs of advertising, exhibitng materials, and expenses for a reception. The magazine is waiting until April for word from the National Endowment for the Arts, to know if they will be awarded the $5,000 grant applied for last summer. ~-Highli ghts_ __ • A traditional •Chinese Lion Dance will be performed in CELEBRATION OF THE CHINESE NEW YEAR (year of the horse) on Saturday, Feb. 10, in the Oriental Village at noon; at the 5th Street Public Market at 1: 30 p.m.; in the Golden Orient Restaurant at 6 p.m.; and at the Szechuan Terrace at 7 p.m. • Second Annual Eugene Record Show Sunday, Feb. 11 at the Eugene Hilton.

''The broader the base of support we have on campus, the greater the chances of us passing this levy,'' he says. ASLCC President Andy Harris said on Thursday that students also need to be a part of that broad base. Beside getting out and voting, he says students needs to generate involvement from others as well. Harris thinks the levy vote will be close, but adds, ''I do have faith in this community's commitment to quality education." ---------------CLASSIFIEDS CLASSIFIEDS ADS are free to LCC students and staff, 15 word maximum, and will be printed on a space available basis.
