LCC's four-year serial levy
went down in defeat in the
March 27 mail ballot, when
voters failed to approve the
measure. The levy would have
allowed the college to continue
collecting $725,000 a year for

That first request was approved
by voters in 1966, and again in
1987. The measure was voted
down by less than one percent
of the voters -- 27,873 to 27,381
-- according to figures supplied
Thursday by Lane, Linn, Benton and Douglas County Election Offices.

Also in Tuesday's election,
challenger Larry Mann of Springfield defeated incumbent
Manin Lewis for an at-large seat
in the only contested race for
the LCC Board of Education.
Board members Peter Sorenson, representing Eugene, zone
five, and Cindy W eeldreyer,
representing Cottage Grove,
zone four, were re-elected
without opposition.
"I'm happy to have the opportunity to work with the
Board as a team on problems

A delegation of students from LCC who traveled to the United States Students Association (USSA)
sponsored conference, March 2-4, in Washington D.C. consisted of Maya Thomas, Carol McKay,
Magdalene Ang, Andy Harris, Bill Lowery, and Ivan Frishberg (not pictured). The students learned about the issues surrounding education funding, how to organize around those issues, and then
lobbied them on the Hill during the nationally organized lobby Day, March 5.

President Jerry Moskus presents LCC's 600,000th student, Kathleen Ensminger with a $25 gift certificate to the LCC Bookstore.

In an ironic twist of fate, the 600,000th student to enroll at Lane
Community College js the granddaughter of the first chair of the
LCC Board of Education, William W. Bristow. Bristow served on
the Board from 1964-70.
Kathleen Ensminger registered by telephone at 12:50 p.m. on
March 14 to earn the designation as number 600,000, according to
LCC's Office of Institutional Advancement.
"I was shocked," said the 29 year-old Springfield women.
Separated from her husband, and a mother of two, Ensminger
enrolled in two courses at Lane -- Life Transitions, and Career and
Life Planning -- as part of the Transitions to Success program. The
program is offered through the Women's Program specifically for
displaced homemakers and single parents. She said a friend told
her about Transitions to Success last December.
Ensminger is a descendant of Elijah Bristow, a contemporary of
Eugene's namesake, Eugene Skinner.
Bristow settled in the current Pleasant Hill area in the 1840s.
LCC's Bristow Square -- the green south of the the Center Building
-- is named for the pioneer.
Ensminger previously attended LCC before her marriage. After
her 10-year marriage failed, she says she decided to return to
school, " ... to get my life in order.
"I think my grandfather would be really happy that I'm going
back to school," she said. "I think he would have encouraged m~
to do it sooner.''
Ensminger says she hopes to enroll full-time next fall in the Dental Hygiene program. For her designation as number 600,000, she
received a $2 5 gift certificate to the LCC Bookstore.

EDITORIALS
Forms' pre-made questions pose problems in some situations
by Michael Omogrosso
Torch Editor

"Don't make me shoot ya'. Ya' can't imagine the
pile of paperwork I'll hafta' fill out." Trite, but true,
it is the expected disparaging comment from TV
detectives trying to persuade criminals to drop their
gun and surrender.
An increasing portion of our lives is consumed by
the task of completing forms.
Forms to order magazines, to report accidents and
income taxes, and to apply for admission to schools
make up but a small percentage of the mountain of
informational paperwork which must be attended to
in this modern society.
And, while it is a process somewhat less than relished by most, documentation. be it inventories or
resumes or national census data, is essential for the
administration of this rapidly expanding world. Even
the Egyptians found that lists and records were im~erative for the maintenance of an advancing civilizauon.

But, there exists a significant problem with forms
which ask for personal information -- the inevitable
round hole/square peg factor. That is to say, premade responses often are inapp_roprate for an individual's particular situation.
A case in point is the $2 billion to develop and four
years in the making 1990 US Census.
Justly mandated by the Constitution and strikingly
simple to complete, the new form is designed to give a
realistic glimpse of today's life in the United States.
But it is saddled by an antiquated if not puritanical
sense of what constitutes ''family.''
For each resident listed in the household following
the head of the household (thank goodness it is worded to avoid sexism), that person's relationship to the
head of the household is requested. The relations
range from "Husband/wife" to "boarder" to "other
nonrelative,'' and are divided into two sub-groups
called "Related to Person 1" and "NOT RELATED
to Person 1. ' '

And though very tidy and clearcut, the placement
of "Unmarried partner" in the "NOT RELATED to
... '' section mars an otherwise unbiased masterpiece
of form-making.
If two people live together -- and please excuse the
pigeonhole qualification of sharing the same bed
night after night with agreed potential of sexual intimacy -- and if those two enjoy the bounties and pitfalls of life (the bills, the lottery, and the measles, to
name a few), are they not relating in a relationship,
and therefore related?
A piece of paper from the courthouse, or words
spoken before an official representative of an
authorized religion, do not a commitment make -- ask
any divorce attorney.
And so, if the Census Bureau intends the census
form to be equitable in regard to relationships, then
under ' 'If a RELATIVE of Person 1: ' ' the spousal
category must read: Husband/wife/unmarried partner -- not necessarily in that order.

Censoring of arts amounts to subtle repression
Welcome back! This week my
attention is on art. Art in the·
form of paintings, photographs,
and music to be specific.
I must admit that I was
pleasantly surprised when
George Bush declined to put
any kind of censors in the National Endowment for the Arts
grants system. He, quite rightly, feels that any kind of limitations put on the artists amounts
to a subtle repression.

I tend to agree with George
Bernard Shaw, who observed,
''If more than ten percent of

The pressure has been mounting from the far right, who
were less than pleased with this
pronouncement, because of a
few admittedly questionable exhibits funded by the National
Endowment for the Arts. Those
exhibitions were found offensive on nationalistic, religious,
and sexual (both hetero and
homosexual) grounds. Gee,
those are topics that conservatives and liberals are usually

the population likes a painting
it should be burned, for it must
be bad.''
The citizens who were so
morally outraged by these pictures say, "We don't want to
prevent these people from practicing their art." The word
''art'' is unceasingly accompanied by a pronounced sneer.
''I just don't want to subsidize
it with MY tax dollars.''
Hey folks! A lot of us are less

than thrilled with what our tax
dollars are being spent on.
That's democracy in action.

there are inequalities in the

that.
Which brings to mind a subject that's been making more
unwanted appearances than

record rating and or stickering.

While I would never even
consider silencing any group, no
matter how insane or stupid
they might be, I find it difficult
to argue with the proposition
that there might be some type
of utilitarian alert. It would be
for parent's too busy or lazy to
find out what their kids are into and people with delicate
sensibilities.
The problem of the whole
matter is, who will design the
yardstick and yield it? The
movie industry, which is often
brought up as an example of a
successful rating system, has it
kind up easy. The rating is
dependant on the number, or
lack, of naked bodies, violent
scenes, and profanity contained.
The recording industry is a
little more tricky. You can
measure profanity, but not the
alleged potential harmfulness of

ideas. Explicit lyrics can be
covered with a sticker stating,
''These songs contain words
that may be considered objectionable by some people. ' '
But ideas? Once you start
segregating "Killer Scum" and
''Perverse Rappers'', what will
. be next? Themes of J. D. Salinger, George Orwell, Stephen
King, . . . ME? Where will it
end? And, what group will
decide?
George has the right attitude
towards art and government
subsidies. Maybe he can even
funnel a small portion of the socalled ''peace dividend'' into it.
As far as the record stickering
question goes; Profanity - yes,
ideas - no. Creative minds and
actions must be allowed free
rein. Some will go too far, and
be properly castigated, but isn't
that the artist's perogative?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Hurray Harvey
To the Editor:
I have been a student at LCC
for the past few years. I wanted
to tell you how helpful Harvey
Bond has been to me this year
in dealing with my problems of
drug abuse. I have had a problem with abusing different
drugs over a period of years.
Harvey has been straight forward, honest and supportive in
the present problem with drug
abuse. I feel that the school
needs Harvey at LCC to help
deal with the problem of dmg
abuse among the students at
school. I really appreciate the
fact that the school is finally
recognizing the problem in our
society. Please continue to support this position of a drug
counselor at Lane.

I am planning on going into

soon as I have delt with this problem.

Disappointment
expressed
To the Editor:
I am writing to express my
disappointment in the review of
this year's very fine Electronic
Artistry Concert. Your
reviewer's failure to make any
mention of fact that the first
half of the concert consisted of
works by Eugene composerperformers was inexcusible.
While Jordan Rudes gave an excellent performance, I believe
that the neglect of the exciting
works performed by local musicians was a slap in the face to
these talented and hard working
people as well as the production
staff whose efforts resulted in a
smooth, well run show. It is sad
that once again local talent has
been slighted in favor of the imported version.
The first half of Electronic
Artistry '90 featured several excellent performances and all the
artists acquitted themselves
well. A number of these musicians have received national exposure and have long term
careers that Mr. Rudes will have
to work long and hard to equal.
The starstruck, almost
reverential attitude towards Mr.
Rudes that your reviewer took
was one more example of the
bias that local musicians must
constantly battle if they are to
make an impression with area
residents. Eugenians should be
proud of their hometown talent
and show more appreciation for
the hard work and creativity

that local artists continually
display.
Peter Thomas

Sour grapes
To the Editor:
This letter is in reference to
the commentary by Drew Carter
in the March 2, 1990 edition of
the Torch.
It seems the actual reason for
Mr. Carter's commentary was to
vent . his frustration about
another Oregon loss to Oregon
State. There is no mention in
his story about the other losses
by the Ducks on the road. I
assume then that those games
were free of "No Calls," which
is very unlikely if you are a Duck
supporter. If the Duck basketball team is as good as you think
they are, they should never have
been in the positon of waiting
until the last play of the game
to win (good teams are able to
rise above the "no calls" and .
win anyway). Also when you
classify a person as a freshman
sensation that person should
have better statistics than
averaging 4. 7 points and 3. 5 rebounds per game.
A better title for the story
would have been '' Sour
Grapes' ' which seems to be the
real underlying feeling. From
your commentary I get the feeling that you are a fair weathered
fan that only supports your

team when they are winning. As
far as Oregon being picked to
finish last, Oregon State was
picked to finish either third or
fourth. With their win Thursday night at Arizon State they
cinched at least a tie for first
place and number one seed for
the Pac-10 Tournament.
One last side note. I am sure
you like all other Duck fans are
happy that Gary Payton is a
senior this year. If you want to
get a good look at the man they
call "Gee Pee" pick up a copy
of the Sports Illustrated with
Mr. Payton's picture on the
cover. It's an excellent article,
and an excellent choice as player
of the year (This is what I call a
sensational player).
As far as -next season goes for
the Beavers, don't worry. The
Beavers don't rebuild they just
reload.

and deforestation are issues
which must be addressed. I
know that we are all concerned
about the environment. But we
must realize that being
apathetic to the problem is just
as devastating as initiating the
destruction! Rather than sitting
around and wishing the problems would go away, we must
be a part of the solution.
Earth Day 1990 is commg

soon on April 22nd. This will be
one bright day when the world
will join in environmental
awareness and celebration.
Become involved with the
festivities and join the Earth
Day Coalition.
Support your local environmental groups. Support

Instructor Jim Dunne signs _offafter 13 years at Lane
by Coleen Ebert
for the Torch

' 'Is there life after teaching? I
hope so," says Jim Dunne,
LCC' s Mass Communications
coordinator who said good-bye
to his teaching career at the end
of winter term.
During the past 13 years,
Dunne has taught Fundamentals of Media, Public Relations,
Media and the Law, and
Writing for Film/TV /Radio
classes as well as served as
department head for Mass Communications.
Four decades of teaching
later, Dunne is moving on to
other prospects.
''I'm leaving teaching
because I've had some opportunities offered to me that I'd
like to explore. ' '
Although Dunne admits
teaching has always been his
first love, his endeavors before
LCC were rich in variety, and he
plans to use the skills he has
developed over the years in his
new pursuits.
Dunne's early career involved
teaching at all grade levels.
During this time, he began
writing for school newspapers
and branched out to community newspapers.
''I drifted into broadcasting
by accident while I was teaching
in a U.S. Army school for
dependent children in Japan,''
says Dunne. It was there that he
was asked to write sports for
radio.
Upon returning to the US,
Dunne's broadcasting career
grew. While teaching at San
Jose State University during the
day, Dunne worked as a TV
news anchorman at night. He
owned his own independent
film company and was involved
in several writing projects.
As a TV reporter in California, he covered the Western
states campaigns of Adlai
Stevenson and later John F.
Kennedy. Dunne describes
Kennedy as someone the media
took to their collective heart
because he was charming and
entrancing to the press, as well
as a gifted writer.

• Dunne's colleagues share his
Mike
accomplishments .
Hopkinson, Mass Communications instructor who specializes
in video production and is Internship Coordinator for LCC 's
radio and TV program,
describes Dunne as a man of
vast experiences. ''He is open
and willing to share his experiences. ' '

The next 11 years were spent
in Pullman, Wash. where
Dunne served as Washington
State University radio and TV
director. He also became part of
the political power structure of
Pullman, serving six years as city
councilman, and four years as
the city's mayor.
At that point, Dunne says, ''I
had accomplished what I had
set out to do, and it was time for
a change.''

Commenting on Dunne's
teaching style, Hopkinson
noted, "He is concerned about
his students and at the same
time sets high standards for
them. He is superb about spending time outside of class with
students.

And LCC was that change.
Over the next 13 years Dunne
made several contributions to
the Mass Communications
Department:
• He played a key role in having KLCC (LCC 's radio station)
continue broadcasting at a time
when the station, the Mass
Communications Department
and the college were 1n conflict,
according to Steve Barton,
KLCC station manager. Says
Barton, "If Jim would have
been a different person, the station might not be here today.''
KLCC has-since become an important community resource.
• He has a reputation for
making a difference by hiring
talented and gifted people.
And equally important, he
knew how to get the resources
they needed and then get out of
the way and let them work, confirms one college offical, Vice
President for Instruction Jacquelyn Belcher.
• While department head for
Mass Communications, he often
sought clarification of points
under discussion by the instructional cabinet with a skill that
avoided offending other
members, says Jack Powell,
head of the English and Foreign
Language Department.
• Dunne's grant-writing to
the State Vocational Fund
resulted in the purchase of a
computerized video editing
system for Mass Communications students. Dunne stresses
''It was team work. Engineer
Bob Tanner, and instructors
Mike Hopkinson and Bob Prokop designed the system. It succeeded because we put our
talents together.''

Student Jeanette Nadeau studies Art of the Western World via a telecourse.

Alternative to classroom offered
by Michael Kersey
for the Torch

Art of the Western World, and Introduction to Abnormal Psychology are two new
college-transfer, three-credit telecourses offered this term, in addition to the 14 other
cablecasts by LCC.
Telecourses are independent study
courses presented completely on video , but
with accompanying written assignments
and tests . The courses provide an alternate
way for students to take classes if normal ,
on-campus instruction conflicts with their
schedules. Telecourses are also a means for
students to try different learning styles.
• Art of the Western World (ART 101),
sponsored through the Art and Applied
Design Department, examines works of art
created throughout the history of Western
civilization. The dominant social attitudes
of the populace at the time of the art's creation is also included in the course.
• Introduction to Abnormal Psychology
(PSY 239) is sponsored through the Social
Science Department. Health-related concepts and the analysis of emotional disturbances are the focus of the course.
All of the telecourses are cablecast on TCI
Cable Channel 35. But, if students don't
have access to a TCI cabled television, they

Anti-gravity
experiments
protested
by Eli Ctricity
Staff Wn'ter under Torture

Members of Protesters of Anti-Gravity Experiments
(PAGE) have gathered outside the LCC Science Department for the past two weeks.
Some came from as far away as Tampa, Fla. to voice
their rage over the permanent effects the experiments
have on the students used in experimentation.
''We will not allow this cruelty to happen to our
children,'' shouted one angry mother as she hovered
over the crowd, obviously a victim of previous experiments.
The side-effects include weightlessness and terminal
static cling.
Tom Evans, Oregon chapter president of PAGE led
the demonstration, modeling the lead pants he is forced to wear and proclaiming to the crowd, "We will not
be pushed around anymore.''
''Unfortunately there is no cure at the moment,'' explains Dr. Krull, experiment coordinator.
Krull explains that the problems occur in the
positive-negative ion transfer during the preliminary
weight disengagement phase of the experiment. The
result is a permanent presence of static electricity,
voyeurism, and facial birth defects. Eventually -- if not
monitored -- the subjects could float into outer space.
Bruce Wayne, Science Dept. head says, "There is no
way we can stop the experiments. The profit we are
gaining is too astronomical. As for the protesters, we
have confirmed a contract with the Natiooal Guard to
kill or d1spose of anyone trying to stop us. ''
See future editions of the Torture, for further
coverage of this electrifying subject.

Will the real Merlin Olson please... ?
by Dee Nominator
Torching-the -News Editor

In stunning upset, Student Activities Director Jay Jones
was named the winner of LCC's first annual Merlin Olsen
Look-Alike Pageant.
"Right now it really hasn't sunk in. I'm just so overwhelmed,'' Jones said afterwards, amid a throng of well-wishers.
Jones beat out thirteen other contestants for the honor, including President Jerry Moskus, who was a heavy favorite in
the early betting.
Multicultural Center Director Connie Mesquita finished
runner-up to Jones. "I'm pleased with my performance," she
said afterwards. ''Jay was unstoppable today though. He really blew them away in the talent portion. ' '
Moskus ended up third in the balloting. Visibly upset, he
refused comment afterwards other than to say "I'll be back
next year -- with vengeance.''
Economics instructor Bill Burrows, who finished last in the
competition, felt he should have won . Afterwards, he questioned the credibility of the judges. ''I mean c'mon folks.
Who are we kidding? What I supplied met the demands of
the judges. Why we didn't reach an equilibrium point
escapes me.''
Burrows said he will take a leave from his services at LCC Former football star and FTD commercial persona, Merlin Olsen, was on hand for LCC's first "Merthis spring to try and ''recover from this larceny'' and begin lin Olsen Look-Alike Pageant.''

Latex stretches efforts to save rainforests
by Sa P. Ling
Torching Staff Writers

Everybody agrees that the Amazon
rainforest must be saved. But nobody
agrees how to do it. Yet, the notion of
setting aside the forest while still being
able to use it has been gaining popularity.
Currently, latex is gathered from trees

-- without harming them -- that thrive in
an otherwise untouched rainforest.
Though latex is no longer relied upon for
making tires, it is still used to produce
among the world's best condoms.
The sap that is saved from wild trees
proves to be stronger, at a thinner
thickness, than similar latex grown on
plantations in Asia. The strength of

Colleg e bolste rs cereal levy •
to stem flow of new studen ts
by Ms. Spelling
Tortured Editor

Confusion over the intent of
LCC 's recent cereal levy apparently baffled voters into submission, causing a landslide victory for the ballot measure.
A misprint in literature
distributed to targeted precincts
called the measure a serial levy
and, though no details were
mentioned, placed the proposi-

tion in a student support light.
Hoytytoyty,
Harold
philosophically an instructor at
the institutional oregonization
bantered, "Such a fuss over a
silly word? Serial smearial, it
only flows logisticaly that we
need more cereal. Those
students, they are flooding in
here and clogging up the whole
thing.''
According to the com-

municable collage president,
Podiatrist Harry Musky, the
school -- which is ranked lower
than higher education but
above education that is secondary -- is going to build a berm
of cereal around the facilities,
limiting the number of students
to those who can eat their way
through the levy. After registration, the remaining cereal will
be fed to the Ducks.

Tuition: warp 9 increase

Tortuous Wn'ter with Staff
Students eager to

last month by a gubernatorial
quarantine order.

Wn'ter with Tortured Staff

An increase in Out of
Galaxy tuition has extraterrestrial students up in arms
(those who have arms, that
is ... ). Tuition has been raised 700 percent to allow for
costs of special guest instructors, due to increases in the
expense of space and time
travel.

Said one alien student who
asked to remain unidentified, "If you ask me it's

Peace outbreak contained

Students and staff alike
began spring break huddled in
unlit classrooms while military
reservists and the National
Guard established the quarantine with ground troops and air
support.
Soldiers who enforced LCC 's
quarantine didn't know why
they were doing it. "They just
told us to look out for
peacemakers,'' said guardsman
lowna Msixty.
We are here to confine the
violent outbreak of peace,'' said
Sqausha Ip pie, platoon leader.
''The security of the Pentagon is
at stake.''
When asked why some

students were arrested for no
reason, Governor Goldensnitch
said he didn't know, but, "I'm
gonna quit anyway, so it don't
matter. I'm too busy tryin' ta
make peace with my wife to
worry about peaceniks at
ahhmm, where was that
anyway?" he said.
The occupation ended on
Monday of spring break. The
Fourth Amendment, protecting
against warrantless searches and
seizures, was invoked by those
arrested.
The order to occupy was traced not to Goldensnitch, but to
Attorney General Dave
Foaming-at-the-Mou th, a
native of America and its
Church Sacramenter. "We
should have given the Fourth to
Oliver North to deal with,'' he
said. "Unfortunately, it was too
close to the fifth. ''

Bad grammar, good taste
Mr. Spock's Tricorder showed LCC's tuition increasing by a
warp factor of nine. Similar readings preceeded the collapse
of planet-wide education in three solar systems across the
federation, recently, says the sympathetic Vulcan.
LCC's intragalactic Student Program has been well
received throughout the
universe, with only a few
minor problems. Space
vehicles must be parked outside of No Hover Zones.
Students will be reprimanded if beaming up during
classes.

Enrollment is open to all
non-violent life forms with
one exception: Tribbles will
no longer be accepted in sex
education classes, due to
space limitations. For more
information contact the Intragalactic Counselor, E.T,
fifth floor, Rm. 2001, Center
bldg.

Torture Editor Michael Omogrosso has left the paper to coordinate
advertising and public outreach for the LCC Deli. When asked why
"burger" was mispelled, Omogrosso replied, "It's all part of
humanizing advertising. By putting a mistake or two in the copy,
we should appeal more to the everyday person.''

EWES gets amped over stress, weight reduction
by Mitchel Lynn
Torture Editor

The Eugene Water and Electric Board announced Sunday a
new plan to generate electricity
while offering stress and weight
reduction opportunities to the
public.

The notion surfaced after the
big man on the EWEB Board of
Commisioners, Max Flub, lost
five pounds while running on a
recently installed stress reducing
treadmill after a particularly
frustrating meeting with a
management figurehead who

decided to manage.
Said Flub, "I really had to
fight to show who was the
'boss'.''
According to Flub, an eclectic
electrical engineer/ psycologist
had just installed a bicycle
generator to the treadmill with

a volt/amp meter attached in an
attempt to find a new way to _
measure stress. But, the current
shrink instead found Flub could
have baked a cake in a
microwave oven with the electricity that was generated.
''We looked at the test results

and the pool of sweat I had
created and knew we were on to
something big," said Flub.
A preliminary report indicates there's enough obesity
and stress locally to power a
monorail system for one hour
every three weeks.

Canal reaction mixed
by Lame Duck
Torcher Stiff Wn'ter

A bold new canal project, dwarfing Jerry Rust's Emerald Canal
proposal, has been submitted to the Lame County Commissioners
by LCC's Facilities Management Committee.
The project would involve diverting the Willamette River at
Oakridge in order to create a canal that would flow parallel to the
Willamette until near LCC. There it would flow through and clean
out the sludge pond, continuing under 30th Avenue via an excavation created by employing the local homeless population.
Not everyone on the Committee agreed with the proposal. Jacque D. Belch said that he was concerned that it would cause the
plumbing to back up.
"That's nonsense," said Floyd Diversion, a Committee
member. '' And it would give the homeless a place to sleep while
they worked on it.''
Diversion said that the canal would incorporate a bike path and a
water slide through the tunnel. Again, Belch questioned the logic.
''We would have naive young students sliding through a cave full
of transients,'' she said.
The County Commissioners accused the committee of creating
an absurd proposal only to make a proposed property tax increase to
maintain LCC seem quite reasonable in comparison.

In an unprecedented show of support, students came from all over campus to search last week as
word spread that President Jerry Moskus had lost a contact lens. Flooding the lawn north of the
Center Building, students hunted diligently until the errant lens was found.

Attacking turtles seek reconciliation
Offers declined
by Ann Fibbian
Touched Torture Staff Writer

While on a routine assignment to photograph
alleged alligators in the campus sewers, Torture
photographer Nicodemus Pederson was attacked by
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and taken captive.
After holding the intrepid photographer captive
for six days without food, water or darkroom access,
the turtles realized they had made a truly bogus
blunder.
"We thought he was our arch nemesis, The
Shredder,'' said Ninja Turtle Raphael when asked
to explain the error.
"Yeah, like, it was totally dark down there,
dude," added mutant teen, Michaelangelo.
Pederson was promptly released upon realization
that he was not the notorious Shredder. The turtles
offered him tickets to their upcoming movie and a
lifetime supply of pizza as compensation for his
traumatic experience, but Pederson declined.
When asked why he turned down the offer,
Pederson shuddered and said, ''Have you seen
what those turtles put on their pizza?''

Dunne sums up his teaching

Dunne supports his faculty

"He's always noticing teachers'
efforts and saying, 'Good Job!'
He will be sorely missed. ''
When asked how he feels
about leaving teaching and
LCC, Dunne responds, "I have

day's election may be legally
challenged. A malfunctioning
inserter machine used by the
Lane County Elections Department caused an undetermined
number of voters to receive incomplete ballots -- ballots that
did not include the serial levy -according to Lane County Elections Director Dave Spriggs.
As many as 200 voters from
throughout the county called
the elections office to report incomplete ballots. Spriggs says
those individuals that did call
received new, complete ballots.
However, he was unable to
estimate how many incomplete
ballots were sent out in total.
He feels that election results
were not compromised though.
''The majority of the public is
quite informed on what they're
eligible to vote on and are not
bashful about calling us, ' '
Spriggs told the RegisterGuard.
Any legal challenge would

have to be made within 40 days
in Circuit Court, and could be
made by any registered voter,
Spriggs says.

Student aspires t~ help save native·Amazon region
by John Unger
Torch Staff Writer

The crisis occurring within
the Amazon Rainforest is often
referred to as an impending
biological catastrophe. As such,
the variety of plants, animals,
and other organisms living there
are cited as reasons for stronger
efforts to preserve this anthology of mostly unknown
genetic diversity.
The Amazon is described as
the lungs of the earth, a
flywheel of climate, a 'magic
mountain' of ecology, the
storehouse of genetic diversity,
and the world's greatest pharmaceutical laboratory.
"It's so hard to talk about the
rainforest," says Sione Araujo,
a Brazilian native. "Because
there are so many different
kinds of trees, of butterflies, of
people, of everything. ''
Araujo says that scientists
have recently discovered a cure
for glaucoma in the leaves of a
tree that grows in the Amazon
forest. She says that if the US
spent more money on botanical
research in Brazil, we could find
cures for tragic diseases like
AIDS and cancer .
Araujo, who is studying
Broadcast & Visual Design at
LCC, is from the state of Bahia,
on the coast of Brazil. Bahia is
rich in cultural heritage, being
the first area colonized by the
Portuguese. ' 'Americans just go
to Rio de Janeiro, they don't go
to Bahia," she says, "so they
don't know what it means,
Brazil, you know?"
Having heard much about
the US when she worked for a
travel agency in Bahia, she
decided to come here to study
because there are no schools in
Brazil that teach what she wants
to know. She plans to return to
Bahia. She wants to produce
documentary films that show
how Brazil is influenced by
Bahia's rich culture.
Araujo has travelled through
the Amazon in Brazil, Peru,
and Bolivia. When travelling in
the Pantanal Matogrossene, in
the upper Amazon, Araujo and
the people travelling with her
were caught unexpectedly by an
early arrival of the wet season.
''We became prisoners of
nature," she says.
She was riding in an open
truck filled with Americans,
local Indians, their children,
and all kinds of animals when it
began raining. ''When you talk
about rain in the Amazon, it's

to help save the depreciating Amazon region.

not like rain in Oregon," she
says. "It's too strong, you
know, it destroys villages,
forests, and everything.''
The Pantanal is a system of
wetlands, similar in places to
Florida's Everglades. So with
the rain, the road turned into
pools of muck, and travel by
truck became impossible. Being
stranded, the crew began walking.

â– 
c:::::§)

IJ]

Since the rain didn't stop,
Araujo's crew decided to rent a
canoe-like boat and to hire a
guide to travel by river, rather
than by the route they planned.
''It was sad in that boat,''
Araujo recalls, "because people
didn't have an ecological conscience. They killed big river
turtles to eat. They found a
small jackarae (a large type of
crocodile), and they wanted to

kill it for food. I was very
upset," she complains.
Araujo says that generally
Brazilian people are concerned
about preserving the Amazon's
heritage. "More than anyone
in the world, we don't want to
cut down the rainforest,'' she
says, "but the country is poor."
"We are sad," Araujo says,
' 'because our government -is
very corrupt.'' She cites the example of US cattle farmers who
come to Brazil. The government
sells them the land against the
will of the people, she says. "In
Brazil, it's still the people who
have the money who have all of
the power. ' '
Brazil has a newly elected
President, Fernando Collor de
Mello, who took control of the
March
on
government
13, 1990. Unfortunately Mello
is not on the record as
questioning the policies of
Brazil's creditors. Brazil is $112
million in debt to northern
banks, which are primarily interested in opening Brazil to
even more foreign exploitation.
Araujo compares Amazonian
desecration with the Vietnam
War. "Why are Brazilians
destroying the Amazon?' ' she
asks, then answers, "Why were
young Americans in Vietnam?
Government corruption.''
Araujo claims that if the US
government wants to tell the
Brazilian government to stop
cutting the Amazon, it has to
start by preserving its own ancient forests.
"I was at Brietenbush, and
people were hugging the old
trees to stop them from being
cut," she says, "but the police
came, put them in jail. When
I travelled by plane from
California to Oregon, I couldn't
believe the holes in the forest,''
she adds.
The temperate forests of the
Northwest are not ecologically
similar to the Amazon. But the
last lowland tropical rainforest
in the US, the Wao Kele
'OPuna, on the Big Island of

Hawaii, is currently being
destroyed in order to drill for
Geothermal Energy. The project is on the slopes of Mauna
Loa, an active volcano.
Both Hawaii's rainforest and
the Amazon are composed of
of
varieties
untold
microclimates, many harboring
endemic species that exist
nowhere else. People have long
lived within the myriad
ecosystems, at harmony with
and dependent upon them.
Araujo is interested in increasing awareness of the connection between the existing
cultures of Brazil and the way
they relate to their environment. ''There are so many
varieties of cultures in the
Amazon," she says, "because
there is such variety there in the
natural world .''
Araujo is struggling to present these sometimes difficult
concepts to a planetary audience
by studying film production.
Her mission is to show that the
heritage of the simple people in
Brazil is what will ultimately
save the Amazon.
There is a glimmer of change
in international policy as it
relates to the Amazon. According to the Smithsonian Institute, one of the key provisions of the World Bank's new
policy regarding Amazonia calls
for the protection of indigeµous
lands ''containing those
resources required to sustain
the ... people's traditional
means of livelihood. '' Unfortunately, projects funded by the
bank do not respect this provision, and, in fact, often allow
the opposite process to occur,
claims the institute.
These immortal words of
Dylan Thomas reflect the current tragic situation in Brazil:
' 'The hand that signed the
paper felled a city; Five
sovereign fingers truced the
breath, Doubled the globe of
death and halved a country;
These five kings did a king to
death.''

Art gallery features Portland artist
by Mary Kathleen Browning
Torch Entertainment Editor

The LCC Art Department
Gallery is featuring the artwork
of Portland artist Dennis Cunningham through April 20.
Cunningham, whose scenes
often depict fishing in Northwest rivers and the Pacific
Ocean, will present a gallery
talk on his work in the gallery at
1 p.m. on Wednesday, April 4.

Portland.
Cunningham is a member of
the Marylhurst College faculty.
This artist is concerned with
the environment surrounding
him. "In our culture and in our
time we have shifted our concerns about our natural environment,'' he says. ''Once thought

Jump in' for joy

as a force to be conquered, with
unlimited resource, our enviroment now seems fragile and
limited in its capacity to support
our demands.''
' '. . . I am not trying to offer
solutions to complex problems.
I offer instead, my own personal
reflections as an artist on a subject that moves me and my
desire to chronicle it in my
part.''
