LCC promptes levy

Torch News Editor

Efforts are underway at LCC to secure the passage of a
four-year serial levy which will come before voters in a
mailed ballot on March 27.
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.

Does this symbol of peace, made step by step in the fresh fallen snow, reflect the current attitudes
of Lane students? 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.

Recovering child abuser active participant in healing others
Appearance on 'Oprah' leaves her feeling 'manipulated and abused'
by Michael Omogrosso
Torch Editor

Closing her eyes, she tilts her
head slightly downward as if in
prayer, inhales deeply and
blows the breath back out. 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

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.

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

on issues that affect them.
Furthermore, Manin is a
former LCC student and was the
director of the ASLCC Student

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.

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.

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

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

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

Mitchell is aware of the scarcity of funding for new projects
but says his department is going

Mitchell says this program is

that addiction goes beyond
drugs and alcohol and extends
to other forms of dependency,

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.''

Wetlands sink in quagmire of federal, state regulations
commentary by John Unger
Torch Staff Wn"ter
Wetlands in West Eugene,
affected by new federal rules,
are causing developers to worry
that their plans may sink in a
quagmire of federal and state
these
protecting
la ws
ecosystems.
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.

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.

the plant as the source of this

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.

vancy since it's one of two remaining prairie wetland types
in the valley," says Bingham.
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

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.

was quoted in the Nov. 26,
Register-Guard story, "If you

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.

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

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.

Women drop to third place
LCC drilled by first place Cougars
by Thatcher Trombley
Torch Sports Editor

The Lady Titans dropped to
third place in league action
Wednesday, Feb. 7, after being
knocked off by Umpqua CC,
76-62, in Roseburg. 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. "We didn't shoot the ball
that well'' said Assistant Coach
Ron Richards.

One-woman show
features NW women
by Mary Kathleen Browning
Torch Entertainment Editor

Eugene actress Jane Van Boskirk will feature
a one-woman historical drama at LCC, Thursday, Feb. 15.
The program showcases four women from
Northwest history, offering vignettes of their
strengths and weaknesses. The script for the
play was written from research into the lives
and writings of the featured characters: suffragette Abigail Scott Duniway, pioneer
Elizabeth Smith, and dance hall hostess Ada
Isaacs Mencken.
Folk musician Chico Schwall, provides the
program's traditional music accompaniment.
Schwall plays a number of folk instruments,
including the guitar, banjo, harmonica, and
fiddle.
The show will be presented from noon to 1
p.m. in the Main Stage Theatre on campus.
Van Boskirk has been called the Northwest's
''leading lady of touring theatre . '' She's
traveled throughout the region with her onewoman plays since 1980. She has presented
five different one-woman plays throughout the
Northwest and other areas across the nation ,
and a play about a pioneer child for younger
audiences.
The Thursday performance is co-sponsored
by ASLCC, the Social Science Department,

Interim Performing Arts publicist hired
by Mary Kathleen Browning
Torch Entertainment Editor

The LCC Performing Arts
Department has changed
publicists. Theater Box Office
Manager Myrna Seifert took the
position temporarily, starting
Winter term.
Seifert was offered the job
when the former publicist, Marcia Danab, left to join the
University of Oregon News
Bureau.
Danab had been working as a
publicist part time for LCC and
part-time for the U of 0. She
left her position with LCC when
she was offered a full-time position with the university.
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.

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.''

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.
