The 17-year-old Ashland youth was arrested and charged with rioting. The first party, at 361 E. 14th Ave, was intended to be for renters of apartments at 361 and 361 1/2 E. 14th, according to LCC student Alexis Maddlock, who resides at the latter address. ''The pany apparently grew exponentially as the word of it spread, •• Maddlock told the Oregon Daily Emerald. After receiving complaints of noise, and people urinating and vomiting, police encountered a crowd, estimated at 300 to 400 people, in a courtvard at the address. Eugene Public Information Offic~r Tim ~irr says the crowd refused to cooperate and disperse. Police Lt. Tom Brett told The Register-Guard that people began throwing beer bottles and other objects at the 12 officers, who responded by launching tear gas canisters into the crowd. Arrested were Patrick Carter Weldon, 19, and Karl Joseph Pillar, 17, both of Ashland, according to a police press report. As the crowd dispersed, many people moved to a second party three blocks away at 14th and Patterson Streets, where police again encountered 300 to 400 people, according to Birr. When the crowd refused to disperse, police first warned the crowd and then launched tear gas canisters, Brett said. In a Thursday, April 5 Register-Guard story, Eugene police Capt. Dick Loveall contradicts Brett indicating police did not give warning at the second party "because that tactic didn't work" before. Eugene police were the target of criticism this week by many people who felt the police overreacted. In a prepared statement released Wednesday, University of Oregon President Myles Brand said the police may have escalated a tense situation by not giving proper warning before throwing tear gas. However, Brett said the use of tear gas was necessary. ' 'I' m confident that the decision made (Saturday) night possibly kept that situation from completely getting out of hand," Brett told the Register-Guard. See related editonal, page 2. Graduation dates set, evenings' events planned by Megan Guske Torch Staff Writer Approximately 350 college and 200 High School Completion (HSC) students will attend their respective LCC graduations according to Student Activities Administrative Assitant Sally Meadows.

This type of stop-gap measure may become commonplace because of LCC's four-year serial levy, which would have funded building repairs and equipment replacement, failed by a narrow margin. However, due to ballot errors by Lane County Elections, the status of the levy 's failure may be in question. A Register-Guard editorial called for the county to grant LCC a free election to again bring the levy issue before the voters. The college or an individual acting on behalf of the college could also legally challenge the election. President Jerry Moskos says the college is still in a " decision making process." LCC Board of Education Chair Lnry Perry expects the Board to decide on what action to take at its upcoming April 11 meeting.

No wait, the drug war, or child care, or the president's position (or lack of one) on Eastern Europe sometimes it all gets too overwhelming. I don't know where to look. Instead of breeding political action in most of the American population, myself included I must admit, political apathy is the most apparent byproduct of this state of affairs. "The New Apathy" was my first inspirational title of this phenomenon. I talked to a couple of friends about it and got the same reaction from each, ''New? Where have you been?'' With national elections coming up, and since I don't feel like registering and actually voting, I figured it was time for me to do my pan in the grand scheme of things. The example coming from on high has been less than stellar. George Bush has been embroil- more of an effect than a cause. The majority that elected him consisted of barely 50 percent of the eligible voters. Hence the formation of the ''Contracting Apathy Movement.''

But it's not his fault, he's now (I haven't gotten it together to induct anybody else yet), aim is simple -- rejuvenate the American ideal of being involved with running the country. The main thing is getting the message placed where people will see it. I guess that would be where the last several presiden- tial elections have been won and lost; i.e., those groups of 30 second slots that are between videos on MTV, segments of ball games, and vignettes comand ''Cosby'' posing ' 'Roseanne. '' Unfonunately, in a national attitude that spawns Hollywood as a hotbed of political thought and activism, commercials are the way to stan. The actors and actresses that inhabit the area have been doing more and more to get people involved in whatever cause or politician is in vogue at the time. Which is fine for them.

And, if you are trying to get a degree from an institution of higher learning in the 1990s, one thing you can't avoid is a course in writing. Unfortunately, however, many students have mixed or negative feelings about such courses. We all tend to resist what is foisted on us. Beyond that, though, many students wonder whether they will really be doing much writing once the course is passed. What I'd like to suggest therefore, in this brief space, is that writing posseses not just the utilitarian function we hear a lot about these days (' 'If you want to succeed in the business world, you better be able to write") but some deeper purposes as well. And, I'd like to make the case for that obliquely -- by explaining how writing can counteract some of the su btlc, if profound, ways in which television harms us. Tdevision programs, as we-all know, are full of violence. The average American child witnesses about 24,000 murders on TV before turning 18. Beyond that, however, television does violence to us. Consider how the news is presented. First we see, let's say, famine victims in Ethiopia -- for one minute. Next, seductive teenagers drinking Diet Pepsi. The underlying message is that each is equally significant and that nothing needs to be focused on for very long. The violence done is to our values. Or consider the latent content of most TV shows. Because they are designed to help us vicariously purge the day's accumulation of frustration and to generally unwind, they present us with a simplified sense of reality. Good guys are either wholly good or have only lovable flaws, bad guys arc similarly one-dimensional, and it all works out before the last commercial break. Watch enough of that, and, like the liar who begins to believe her or his own lies, you might start confusing life with Murder, She Wrote. And, while situation comedies are fun, life is not exactly a series of half-hour Springfield Scientific Supply • Laboratory equipment & apparel • Scales Mon. - Sat. 10 am-6pm 726-9176 1124 Main St. segments, each with a little lesson and as many laughs as possible. Writing, unlike television, has been around for a long, long time. It is, perhaps, the best tool we have for reflection on our experiences and, in that Workshops Carol Imam· is a tutor in the Writing Center, and will be giving a free workshop there on Creative Processes. The workshop on Thursday afternoon Apn"/ 12 at 2:30 1 is called ''Knowing What You Mean By Seeing What You Say ".

Television, in myriad ways, encourages us to avoid reflection, to not take the time to think about anything for very long, or to settle for simplistic thinking. As such, it diminshes us and threatens the quality of our lives. But writing can put us back in touch with the richness and complexity of our experience and thereby our full humanity. Writing, like television, is always there. Try it when you w.ant to better understand something which confuses you. You' 11 be amazed at how much more you know than you thought you did. Try it when a situation in your personal life needs sorting out -- or you want to tell someone something you just can't say face-to-face. It's a lot cheaper than counseling, and sometimes more effective. Try it when you want to get in touch with the poet, or the thinker, in yourself. Television, as we often hear, isn't all bad. I'm not suggesting that we ban it from our lives. I am suggesting, though, that we become more aware of the ways in which it influences us, and one way to do that is to try writing instead of watching TV. See how it makes you feel. OfNote compiled by Stacie Blackhurst for the Torch • This year's LCC television commercial has won a first place award from the American Association of Community College and Junior Colleges' marketing and public relations council. The commercial makes creative use of graphics and music (from Maurice Ravel's "Bolero") to present the names of LCC class offerings, and promote the arrival of the class schedule. Diane Dann and the advertising subcommittee of the LCC Marketing Council worked with Baden and Company, a Eugene advertising agency, to produce the spot. The spot won first place in the category "TV commercial, large school, series." • With a goal of raising $20,000 to aid battered women, Womenspace will hold its second annual Womenspace Spring Auction, Saturday, April 14.

The recycling area is the most significant amount of money brought in from the sources at LCC. It takes at least 3 or 4 tons of paper for CM to make any profit from their labors, but it's worth it, Dieringer says, because it not only helps the environment but creates funds for his ministry. Dieringer notes problems that come up with the recycling area such as people not properly sorting the material, white has to go with white and color with color. Dieringer says that although ''the vast majority of people do not recycle,' ' the ministry gives a serious attempt to encourage these environmental programs like recycling, in order to establish an "ecologically sound campus." Anywhere from five to ten volunteer students help sort that paper in the recycling center. Dieringer is stationed there himself at least once a week. The price of the recycled paper varies from different types of paper. With white paper the price is about $80 per ton, whereas the colored paper runs about $60. On April 22, the 20th anniversary of Earth Day, Dieringer plans to put together some type of environmental project, but is not sure yet what it will be. . MLK money goes to music events by Keith Rutz for the Torch Money saved on the Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration may allow the student government to schedule additional cultural events for spring term, according to Randy Brown, associateq. students cultural d~crm. _ ''The MLK Day Celebration, from the ASLCC perspective; was kept at just under $12,000," stated Brown, The celebration, held on Jan. 15 at the Hult Center, featured Yolanda King, daughter of the late Martin Luther King Jr., as the guest speaker. It was held in conjunction with the national holiday honoring King and his work on civil rights issues. The LCC Administration contributed $3,000 to ASLCC for the celebration. The City of Eugene donated the use of the Hult Center for one day, and provided $5,000 worth of inkind services -- including ushers and security personnel. Budget cuts had caused a reduction in the number of cultural events, especially music events, scheduled this year, says Brown. "There's not so much a focus HE CAN'T SIGN UP FOR ASTUDENT LOAN UNTIL HE SIGNS UP HERE. I this year on music. Our budget took a huge cut so we had to scale back by half the number of musical events,'' he said. ''But, because we budgeted well during the MLK Day Celebration, we may have a surplus with which to restore the cultural program to its original shape. Right now, though, the program is very skinny.

And once more it was Swanson who earned the victory for LCC. In the NW ACC league opener on March 31, Swanson again hurled his way to victory as Lane crushed Chemeketa CC, 13-1. by Drew Carter Torch Sports Wn'ter While the LCC men's baseball team has been preparing ever since the school year began last fall, pre-season play didn't begin until spring break, March 18, in California. Their preparation proved adequate enough to earn a season opening win, 12-4, over Modesto College. Sophomore pitcher Mike Swanson picked up the win for LCC. But the Titans then dropped three of their next four games. The first loss came against Consumnes River College, 12-11. The second was a dismal 13-5 loss to Lassen College. In a double-header with Shasta College, Lane lost the first game, 9-4, but bounced The Titans upped their record to 2-0 in league play last Tuesday, outslugging Mt. Hood 13- 7. Damon Schaffer knocked in two of his three RBI's with a two-run homer in the eighth inning. Pitcher Chris ''Bogie'' Bennett earned the win for the Titan~. Head Coach Bob Foster's outlook on the season is promis• ing. "We would like to win a championship. We will just sec what happens when we get there," he says. The team's strong points are hitting, running, and defense, according to Foster, with a number of hitters capable of putting the ball out of the park. "Our pitching is not our strong point,'' • he says. "They're not throwing with control.'' Leading the team this year is the returning MVP from a year ago, shortstop Derek Wormdahl. Eight other players return from last year's squad as well, including Steve Riley in centerfield, Lewis Wright at third base, Neil Williamson catching, left fielder Bill Zola, and Shawn Wood in right. Foster says the Titans also have some top quality newcomers, like the' hardhitting Shaffer. LCC hosts Linn-Benton on Saturday, at 1 p.m. ''These freshmen catch on quickly. Those IBM PS/2's should get them off to a fast start." r;-co~UTE1<s7 ~ •-;) -----·-·-· ... ....... - •• :;.a.:... .... - ·~" , ... .... ~~"-•I t'[]- - •',,;·r' tr'th,:: ,.;, ~ ~---- ~, ~ • f~ -6'l) ·----■--= - o·; ~'---=-~' _;zp___ . ------- ___ ~ .i~.- . ......... ____________ ,,,. ...,,,- ,,, ~ • --=~==:~--- • ' --------- ~ ''Disenchanted.'' That's how Head Coach Dale Bates sums up_his feelings about the 1989-90 men's basketball season. But the sentiment goes much deeper. Although spring is a time of new life and shedding the weight of winter, for most basketball coaches it is a time to reflect on what could have been during the past season, and come to grips with what really happened. For good coaches, the frustration of the year before is channeled into an intense drive to get the job done next year. The not-so-good coaches, on the other hand, look over their shoulders, waiting for the athletic director to give them walking shoes for not bringing in that championship trophy. Bates is part of the first category -- a man who has worked in a bad financial situation at LCC for a long time. Why? Because he loves the game, the area, and most of all, the kids. Basketball is a part of his soul, a part of his life for 22 years. Yet he has decided to call it quits after next season. It is a sad note for the LCC Athletic Department. Sad, because Bates isn't tired of coaching. He is tired of the constant battle to keep his team afloat with one of the smallest budgets in the NWAACC Region IV. He is not disillusioned because his team dropped to fourth place in the division. Instead, Bates is frustrated at the consistent rate he loses players to other programs. LCC only gives a limited number of partial scholarships and cannot afford to pay for althetcs' shoes or physical examinations. Bates attributes many of his on-court problems this year to a thin bench. "When (Umpqua Coach) Rod Snook talks about three terms paid tuition and Coach Bates talks about one term,.'' he explained in his weathered, coarse voice,'' it's kind of tough sometimes. Some of the kids arc going to go where they can get the most: a lot of them look at the dollar. ''I just hope the school can sec the value of athletics as an integral part of the educational spectrum and come up and fund it," said Bates. "It's just embarrassing anymore, the lack of funds and lack of commitment (by the college). '' Even with that lack of commitment Bates has done incredibly well at LCC -- 400-plus career victories at a 60 percent winning rate. But in the end, it is the coach who has to pay for the funding inequities throughout the league with his hard work and sweat. Bates is quitting. And in this case, the whole college loses.

It shows Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:30 p.m., through April 14 including a Sunday performance April 8, at 7 p.m. h T\-T1·•--;orl hu thP Tt>rra Nova Theatre Company iu~ ti!f !; ;f~.~!?!~d b_r Actors Cabaret of Eugene: The play asks the question ''What happens when you love Elvis too much?" says Velasco. When Jolene and Earl Jenkins -- a down-ontheir-luck couple from Memphis -- are unable to have a child, Jolene's mama suggests that Jolene pray at Elvis Preseley's grave. A daughter named Preseley Ann is born to Jolene, who believes she was chosen to bear Elvis' child from beyond the grave. Conflict arises when neighbor Ruby Rayburn decides that the baby was meant for her. Velasco says the idea for the play came from a visit to Memphis, Tenn. several years ago. "I went to visit Graceland," says Velasco. "I saw all the lines of people waiting to see the mansion, and I was fascinated by the number. I thought there's a play in this." Actress Jacquie McClure, an LCC speech instructor plays the part of Mama. McClure has worked with four other productions of Velasco' s, including . the original version of "Miracle." Velasco says she wrote the part of Mama with McClure in mind. "(Mama) is an enjoyable part to do. It's funny, it has some very funny lines. And the feel of the play is good," says McClure. The original, one-act version of "Miracle" was performed internationally, including New York, Houston, and London. The Oregon Repertory Theatre's "Made in Oregon" play festival and Seattle's La Pensee Discovery Theatre have held readings of the expanded version of the play. Tickets are $9 for general admission, and $5 for students one hour before curtain.
