Police tear gas crowds at parties near U of 0
by Devan Wilson
Torch News Editor

Two people were arrested and charged with rioting, and hundreds of others were tear-gassed when Eugene police broke up two
parties in the West University Neighborhood on Saturday, March
31.

Eugene police officers wrestle Karl Joseph Pillar to the ground. 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.

Levy defeat rends hopes
Duct tape is applied to rips in a 20 year-old carpet in the Admissions Office, 2nd floor Center
Building. 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.

Brassica oleracea italica proves to be root of controversy
by Ken Houghton
Torch Staff Writer

My attention, at the moment, has been captured by the
Clean Air Act. 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-

the eligible voters.

Writing adds depth to everyday life
by Carol Imani
Wn'ting lab tutor

Some things in life are inevitable. Death. Taxes. The
need for a bath. 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

segments, each with a little

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

process, for deepening
ourselves.
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.

• 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,

Campus Ministry's paper recycling center proves profitable
Recycling funds CM significantly
by Rachael Roth
for the Torch

The paper recycling center, run by Campus
Ministry (CM), brings in over $400 monthly for
the running of the organization, says Father
James Dieringer. 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. ''
Some of the ASLCC events
still in the planning stages are
two benefits, one for the
Willamette AIDS Council and
the other for the Martin Luther
King Jr. Task Force.

Titans undefeated in league play
Titans score 26 ntns, opponents held to eight
back to win the second, 10-9.
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."

''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.

'Miracle' now showing at Seymour's
by Mary Kathleen Browning
Torch Entertainment Editor

''Miracle at Graceland,'' a comedy by playwright
and occasional LCC instructor, Dorothy Velasco, is
currently in production at Seymour's Restaurant. 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. For ticket information call 687-5000 or 344-4022.
