On April 16, at its regularly scheduled meeting, the student Senate appointed Adrian Miller, Brown's work study assistant, to fill the position vacated by Brown for the remainder of the year (see related story, page 3). Brown's voluntary resignation came April 13, the Friday before Monday's meeting. On Tuesday, April 17 ASLCC President Andy Harris said that an executive session (a meeting closed to the public) had been called for Monday's Senate meeting to ask for Brown's resignation, although Brown told the Torch he had no knowledge of the Senate's intentions. Brown says that not once was it expressed to him that there was displeasure with his performance, and he was never informed that he had been given "chances." His resignation came, he says, because, ''I just got tired of it (the situation)." According to Harris and ASLCC Treasurer Ivan Frishberg, Brown's actions involving two fundraisers at the WOW Hall pushed the senators to call the executive session either to ask for his resignation, or to discuss possibilities for impeachment .

Frishberg and Harris claim that Brown then called an executive meeting of ASLCC March 16 during finals week to ask for funding of the events. "I just got tired of the situation.'' Randy Brown According to Frishberg and Harris some senators felt Brown had left the senators with no choice at this meeting: Brown had already committed student government money to the project. Frishberg supplied the Torch with purchase orders and LCC Printing and Graphics order forms dated prior to March 15 and totaling approximately $680 for some expenses related to the events.

EDITORIALS--------------- County employees paid with public funds to protest by Micluel Omogrosso Torch Editor Douglas County employees had some good luck on Friday, April 13. They had the opponunity to avoid their normal duties and still get paid for the day. There was one catch though: Those public servants who chose to accept this free holiday were required to celebrate it in Pioneer Square in Portland along with an estimated 5,000 wood products workers, also on paid leave. -While it is not the first time wood products employees have been given the day off with pay to protest against the preservation of spotted owl habitat, it is, to my knowledge, the first time such an effon has been supponed by public agencies. What a fantastic concept! With Douglas County's actions as a precedent, perhaps city, state, and federal agencies could conceivably begin to use their vast human resources to suppon or oppose any number of is.mes. Abortion. Substance abuse. Perhaps AIDS as well. Employees wouldn't lose a dollar of their pay. Maybe they could even earn a little ovenime, too. For instance, Lane Community College employees -- faculty, staff, and administrators -- could have a few days off from their educational chores to promote a maintenance levy or a new tax base or a sympathetic legislative candidate. Another example might be the entire armed forces taking to the streets to protest cuts in military spending. Now wouldn't that be a sight to warm the beans of true patriots. Of course, with so many people not performing the function they were hired to accomplish, more people would be needed to insure that the agencies would keep running smoothly. That would require more money for wages and benefits and ultimately would require an increase in taxes. But, the affected agencies could simply send employees into the streets, with pay, and drum up the needed votes for that increase. A few questions come to mind. • Who decides what issues qualify for paid leave? - • Is the job security or potential advancement of an employee threatened if he or she refuses to participate? • And if, say in the case of Douglas County's action, an employee is an envirc;,nmentalist, is he or she to be offered equal time off, with full pay, to support his or her ideals? The privately owned timber industries are well within their rights to give each of their workers as many days off for whatever reason they want. And that tactic is economically sound against environmentalists since environmentalists, with a few exceptions, are not paid by employers to stand up for what they know is right. Environmentalists must protest on their own time, without pay. Should Douglas County defend itself from potential political and legal challenges for using public employees and funds to sway public opinion, then for selected special interest groups and public agency officials this April• s Friday the 13th will indeed have been a lucky day. F.arth Day drags 'em kicking and screaming into movement My attention, since moving to the enlightened state of Oregon, has been on recycling and the environment. In the midst of Earth Week, just two days from the twentieth anniversary of the original Earth Day, I remember how I was dragged, kicking and screaming, into this progressive state of mind . . . "Ken, why are you throwing those bottles away? You know there's an onion sack from the trash collector for recycling them. It's a simple operation, even you can handle it.'' '' Aaaaa, that's too much trouble. Just throw everything into the can, no big deal." I grew up in the disposable age and society. Chuck the refuse into the barrel, bring the barrel out to the street on the appointed morning, later that day it would all be dumped into the back of a truck, and the truck took it . . . well I'd never thought about that. But I digress. "Don't be so lazy. How hard is it to rinse the cans or bottles and put them in the bags? You watch the news, you know how few places there are to dump our trash . Does it really take so "Those have to be, without a doubt, the stupidest excuses for reasons I've ever heard. You're too entrenched in your wasteful habits to make a slight, but important, change? Doesn't make much sense to me. '' The argument was beginning to sink in. My Attention by Ken Houghton much effort?" "Stop buggin' me, will ya? The old system, where I just throw everything I'm done with or don't need anymore away has been working fine all these years, so I see no reason to change now. Besides, all that glass and metal will make a big mess and probably stink at the same time." My logic seemed unimpeachable. "All right, I'll take it under consideration. Still seems like a lot of bother over something so • minor.'' Thus began my slight foray into saving our planet. It's not very much trouble, I've even begun recycling paper too. The sum total of this is equivalent to trying to fill the Grand Canyon with bricks, but it's the principal of the thing. ''You can• t learn too soon that the most useful thing about a principal is that it can always be sacrificed to expediency.'' W. Somet;set Maugham said that, and all too often he's correct. I know that I (you too?) think to myself ''With a bazillion gallons of oil being spilled into the oceans a year, what difference is separating my newspapers from the rest of the rubbish going to make?" But I stick to the plan and persevere. If I can get a couple of people to do the same thing, it'll be a group. If they can each convince a few friends to do it, ·we'll have a trend going. Then, if the trend continues and they all get several friends and their families involved, the press will call it a ' 'grass roots movement.'' All this because I listened to somebody and then somebody listened to me, and on and on. It's the "domino effect" used for the common benefit. If you• re more organized or ambitious than me, or even less lazy, then this may seem pretty silly to you. But, after looking around and seeing just how much is being wasted -- not that I'm completely innocent -- I don't think that the "domino effect'' has affected enough people yet. While it's probably not too late to save this planet from the perils of garbage, hopefully there'll be more people joining the recycling movement soon -- lots more, real soon. More later.

LETTER.S _ _ __ Name omitted OSPIRG worlc To the Editor: This is to notify you of the absence of my name, Lincoln Drew Shirley, from the winter term Vice-President's list printed in the April 13 issue of The Torch. To the Editor: I strongly urge you to support your locally operated OSPIRG at LCC. I became involved with OSPIRG because it is a student directed organization. I saw how much of an impact they have with consumer and environmental rights. OSPIRG makes a difference! For instance, OSPIRG saved the bottle bill, compiled the Renter's Rights Handbook, passed the Bank Checkholding Act, and is currently working on childcare issues at a national level. OSPIRG is able to impact such issues such as recycling, toxic pollution, hunger and homelessness, childcare, voter registration, renter's rights, and consumer protection. OSPIRG is there for us; let us be there for OSPIRG! Please support OSPIRG at LCC! I received a 3. 77 grade average for thirteen credits in winter term. I believe the paper may have obtained the information from Student Records after the instructor made a grade change. Because of this grade change, I did attain the required grade average to make the Vice-President's List. There may be other students in my situation as well. We would appreciate the paper printing any necessary corrections in the April 20 issue of The Torch. Thank you for your effon.

Oregon's ancient forests disappearing, reform suggested by Peter Jensen LCC English Instructor/Development Specialist for ONRC Remnants of the ancient forest of Oregon are going quickly. Everyone knows that tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin are being cut and burned. But did you know that Brazil still has 80 percent of its forest, while less than 10 percent of the temperate rainforest we live and work in remains? In the Siuslaw National Forest, which once held two-thirds of Oregon's coastal forest, there are only 120 stands of old growth larger than 300 acres and only 11 breeding pairs of spotted owls. And in the flagship of all U.S. forests, the Willamette, local mappers have found only 260 stands larger than 300 acres. There are 213 known pairs of owls on the Willamette, and more than 60 percent of those (130) will not be protected by the latest, inadequate federal owl report. The most basic question I want to ask the American public is: what will we do with the remaining nine percent of this non-renewable, ancient forest ecosystem and almost 200 old growth dependent species for the rest of our country's history? Now that the federal interagency owl report is out, politicians and industry representatives are acting surprised at the amount of ancient forests it recommends setting aside to save the owl. We at ONRC are not surprised; to us, everything about their maps looks familiar. This "new" plan looks like a weakened version of what conservationists had been proposing even prior to the 1984 Wilderness Bill, and we have learned a lot about ancient forests in the last six years. This "new" plan does not save Opal Creek or key owl areas of Waldo Lake Country or magnificent ancient forests of the Old Cascades in most of the middle and south Santiam River ·drainages. It does not protect wildlife on the western edge of Crater Lake National Park. And, it does not protect enough of the Siskiyous. We may have to go to court to prove all the flaws we see in the Thomas Report. Conservationists have introduced a National Ancient Forest Bill in the U.S. Congress (HR4492). This bill addresses itself to a key issue: the lack of long-range planning for the five percent remainder of all the forest species and areas that were here in America when Europeans arrived. We believe that Congress must mandate a biologically sound, long-range plan before American forests are fragmented beyond their ability to survive. While we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first Earth Day, we see ads from the timber industry's multimillion dollar public relations campaign: "For us, every day is Earth Day." As a former tree planter, a small woodlot owner, and a conservationist, who helped to save French Pete Creek 20 years ago, I must object. As far as the last nine percent of the public, lower elevation, ancient forests goes, inviting those in timber industry who do not want to change to help celebrate Earth Day is like inviting EXXON to help celebrate the opening of salmon season on Prince William Sound. The timber industry liquidated all its own, private old growth and now wants to bully us into doing ~e same on public forests. Of course, I am worried about timber revenues and public budgets, especially the weakened budget of this college. Of course, I am worried about woods products workers and milltowns. Of course, I am for woods workers being retrained with timber company foundation money or even at public expense at Lane Community College. Of course, I am for production and export of finished wood products. After over ninety percent of the American people• s ancient forests have been clearcut by industry, there is no painless solution. Whether conservationists win or the industry wins, there is less than a decade left for old growth industry. The best I can suggest is: • Stop log exports; • Retool industry for second growth and finished products; • Conserve valuable old growth groves and wildlife that includes salmon, elk, spotted owls, flying squirrels -- a total of 13 7 known vertebrate species; • Retrain workers at L. C. C. for a diversified and automated economy; • Pay attention to 21st Century problems that the overcutting of forests has already left waiting for us. A good rule of thumb for future forestry might be: "If you didn't plant it, you can't cut it.'' As Jehovah said to Job, ''Did you create the Leviathan? What a long, strange hike it's been since April 1970. Happy 20th Earth Day!

An article titled, ''Lane Community College: The Pacific Northwest's Largest College Program," profiles the department and its growth since 1967. The article describes the airplane and helicopter flight training programs, with emphasis on the contract training ofJapanese students in helicopters, and the department's safety record. Since 1967, staff and students have logged over 160,000 accident-free training hours, the equivalent of 740 trips around the world. • Native American Week will be celebrated at the LCC campus April 20-27. Exhibits depicting traditional scenes will be displayed on the fourth floor of the Center Building. Costumes and jewelry may also be displayed at the LCC Multi-Cultural Center.

Chrystos recently received the 1990 grant for literature from the National Endowment for the Arts. For more information call Connie Mesquita at Ext. 2276. The arrival of spring means different things to different people. For farmers it's planting crops, for basketball fans it's watching the Final Four playoffs and for community college transfer students it's finalizing plans to attend a four-year university the following fall. For years the University of Oregon's School of Journalism has enjoyed a national reputation. Conversely, Oregon State University's technical journalism program, while unique, has not enjoyed the same widespread recognition. However, things are changing Department to a new level of respectability in the academic circles of America. The product of a nine month national search, Franklin assumed the helm of OSU's journalism department last fall and immediately set to work. ' 'This department has some spectacular possibilities. I'm glad I'm here," Franklin said. He didn't know much about Oregon when he first read OSU's ad. His colleagues in Baltimore suggested he look into the journalism program at the University of Oregon. He checked into the U of O program and decided it didn't suit him.

The retiring of several faculty members requires hiring two new faculty members this year and another the year after. For one position he's currently searching for a general reporter with serious investigative reporting skills, experience in explanatory journalism and an interest in science. He wants a successful science writer with magazine experience and exceptional journalism experience to fill the other position. Franklin's other significant departmental changes include the elimination of required internships and a more writing intensive program placing a heavier emphasis on science reporting and literary journalism. Beginning this fall the OSU journalism department will offer a graduate program for the first time. Daily inquiries about the new graduate program from people throughout the country have kept the department phone ringing. Interested students should apply soon for the limited spaces in the Scientific and Technical Communication master's program, which offers a M.A. or M.S. ''The new curriculum looks a lot different," Franklin said. ''No other outfit in the country is able to provide what we can provide here. '' According to Franklin, science writing is becoming mainstream journalism and has become ''fast track journalism all of a sudden.'' He says, ''the demand for quality journalism is going up and science writing is leading the pack.'' At this point, the science writing world is a small one, with only 300 American science writers. There isn't reaUy any place to go right now to get this specialized training, he says. ''The time is right. There is a vacuum (in this field) needing to be filled,'' Franklin says. He cites OSU's sensitivitiesto science and the fact the technical journalism program is in. tune with the university's charter. Additionally, the department is willing to do something different. Changes in journalism faculty, coupled with the OSU's established, unique technical journalism curriculum, creates fertile ground to strengthen and expand the current program. Franklin says the exciting time to be in OSU's technical journalism program is in the next 10-15 years. He believes a certain kind of journalism is being born right now and he's currently involved in it. ''I'm excited and I want to be a player. We're in a very pregnant moment in literature. Non-fiction is no longer second class literature. The high form of literary aspiration for journalism is literary journalism.'' The two time Pulitzer prize winner added, ''I see technical journalism on the frontier. That's why I came (to OSU)."

ASLCC fills cultural director post by Tracy Brooks Torch Staff Wn'ter In the April 16 ASLCC Senate meeting the Student Senate appointed a new cultural director to fill a vacancy left by Randy Brown, who resigned Friday, April 13. Adrian Miller, Brown's work study assistant, was voted ip by the senate to fill the position for the remainder of the year. Other Business photo by Deborah Pickett ASLCC Cultural Director Randy Brown resigned from his post last week due to a lack of communication and ''backbiting'' with other ASLCC members. spent no money on the WOW Hall events at the time he approached the Senate. He says he had placed a deposit on the hall, but could have retrieved it had the Senate decided not to sponsor the events. He says he called the senate meeting during finals week because he had to miss the last official meeting on important personal business, and the two meetings prior to that were cancelled due to snow. • Also discussed in the meeting was a plan to initiate voter registration for LCC students. The Senate voted to approve the training of Photo I.D. staff members to register students who use the service to vote in the state of Oregon. The plan would likely be put into effect next year. • Childcare, which has been a long-standing issue with ASLCC, also came up for discussion. ASLCC President Andy Harris and Senator Matt Terwillegar both approached the Senate with different proposals to be placed on the spring election ballot. The Senate voted to place on the ballot the question of whether or nor_ student resources should be committed toward developing plans and options for a student service/childcare facility . Terwillegar's proposal, which would have asked the approval of $5 in student fees to build and maintain a facility , was voted down. The primary reasons given by the senators were that no research had been done into the cost of the facility, and space had not been granted by the administration to build such a facility. • The senators discussed the possibility of approaching the students in a ballot measure for student fees to sponsor LTD bus passes free of charge. However, since no estimation has been made of the total cost, a measure will not be placed on the spring ballot. The strategy will be to try to place the issue on the ballot next year or the following year. • LCC President Jerry Moskus made a brief appearance to meet the Senate and answer questions from senators and the gallery. The next meeting of the ASLCC will be Monday, April 23, at 4:00 in the boardroom. Are you serious enough about school?

Wheeler as the 1990-91 Editor. Wheeler, the 1988-89 Editor of the Torch and currently the Managing Editor at the Emerald, said, ''I was extremely happy. I had a smile lockjawed on my face when they told me." She credits her journalistic success and love of journalism to the Torch. "Ifl hadn't worked at the Torch I don't know if I would have ever figured out that journalism is me.'' The LCC International Student Club (ISC) will host a fundraising event on April 3, to help establish a student emergency fund to assist international, multi-cultural, and non-resident students who may encounter a financial crisis while attending LCC. ''The fund is necessary,'' says ASLCC Senator Albert Kee, ''because international students are not eligible for financial aid programs, nor are there any available scholarships for them at LCC." Kee authored a proposal to the ASLCC Senate to establish the fund on March 29, when the ISC 's requests for emergency financial help were unable to be met by the LCC Foundation. The proposal also requested fundi~g from ASLCC to cover the costs for materials necessary to present the fundraiser. The event will begin at 6 p.m. in the LCC Cafeteria with an international dinner catered by ~embers of the local Asian community of Eugene, followed by the preview performance of the play Amadeus, directed by LCC theater instructor Pat Torelle. Diners will be able to sample the cuisines of Cambodia, China, Japan, Korea, and the Phillipines. The international atmosphere will be enhanced by the wearing of traditional costumes by the hosts and hostesses. Throughout the dinner, background music will be provided by guitarist Steve Candee and diners will also be entertained with traditional dances from Mexico, Kenya, and China. "This is an opportunity for American students to learn about ,, our cu ltures. The play will begin promptly at 8 p.m. Set in late 18th century Vienna, "Amadeus" features actors Barry Shaw and Jason Douglas Barth, and will include the costumes of that era. ''This is an opportunity for American students to learn about our cultures,'' says international student Wai Hoo Yau, of Singapore, ''and for us to be able to help ourselves in times of trouble.'' Tickets for the event are $9 for the dinner and $6 for the play. The allowable tax deduction for both events is $9. For tickets, call Kee, at ext. 2330 or 2165, or 342-3125. If transportation is needed after either of the events, it can bearranged for at the time tickets are purchased. Student Ambassador Program continues, applicants needed by Mary Kathleen Browning Torch Entertainment Editor The LCC Student Ambassadors Program. now funded by the college's marketing fund, is looking for ambassadors for the coming school year. Started this year as a pilot program, Student Ambassadors was funded by a grant from the Schafer Fund for Innovation. According to the project coordinator Shan Titus, the pilot program has proved its worth to the college. "It was so successful that the college has agreed to fund it as part of their marketing budget," she says. Ambassadors give tours of the campus to prospective students; visit district high schools; and assist with public relations activities, such as attending college fairs or college open houses. They work about 12 hours per week, and receive an hourly wage of $5.22. College work study is also available. The tours are set up to give a general overview of the college, says Student Ambassador Melisa Leist. ''I try to make them aware of the programs at Lane,' ' she says. It is a way for students to "get to know the campus'' and make an educated decision about ICC. Leist and FUN - HIKING - FISHING BOAT TOURS - RAFTING PHOTOGRAPHY Does this sound like what you would like to do for the summer?

Page 6 April 20, 1990 The Torch student Jenna Eversole are the first two ambassadors in the new program. Titus considers the program an "invaluable experience" for the ambassadors as an addition to their resumes, and improving their communications and public relations skills. She also feels that it is important for ICC students to represent the college. This gives ambassadors ''an opportunity to promote Lane's programs in the high schools.'' The students are trained by Titus. They need to learn every vocational and transfer program offered at ICC and be able to answer a "myriad" of questions, says Leist. Titus lists the characteristics of ambassadors as: being outgoing and positive about their ICC experience, and having graduated from high school within the last three years. To become an ambassador, a student needs to apply for the position and interview with Titus. The deadline for applications is June 1. Anyone who is interested in applying for the Student Ambassador Program can pick up an application in the Admissions Office from Lynn Farber or Titus, or call 747-4501, ext. 2688 for more information.

Concerning the latter, the Torch has always qualified that list as a 3. 50 G.P.A. or better but, according to Student Records, a 3.55 G.P.A. is the actual cutoff point. Two reasons Student Records presented for exclusion of a student from either list besides human error are: 1) All 12 credits used to compute G.P.A.s must be graded credits, not pass/no pass; 2) Students may have signed a request to be left off of public lists. The Torch prints the two lists as a service to students but cannot be res~~ible for external errors or om1ss1ons. --------------C.LASSIFIEDS CLASSIFIED ADS are free to LCC students and staff, 15 word maximum, an_d will be printed on a space available basis.

Harold Hoy, exhibit coordinator, says Greenberg uses his own special technique of firing the cl~y while it is still wet, which is "quite unusual. 1 Hoy calls Greenberg's sculptures '' installation an,' ' which means they are actually large enough to walk through . Greenberg says, ''the nature of the space created is more critical than the in .. dividual components. '' Greenberg will also conduct a slide lecture, sponsored by the ASLCC, and two workshops on his wet clay firing technique. Hoy , who met Greenberg while working at the University of Iowa says, Greenberg is a ''free-spirited type of person.'' At one point in his workshop, Greenberg puts chicken and a wet clay pot together in a kiln. The pot comes out ceramic and the chicken, ready to eat. Greenberg received his master's of fine ans degree from Arizona State University and currently is on the an faculty of Northern Iowa University. Although his sculptures have appeared in numerous galleries across the country, this will be his first exhibit in Oregon. On Monday, April 23, Greenberg's slide lecture will begin at 1 p.m. His workshops are from 9:30 a.m . to 11:30 a.m. and from 2:30 p .m. to 5 p.m. Both the workshops and the slide lecture are free and open to the public.

EEMC filters tradition ' through electronics by Denyce Ward for the Torch Members of the Eugene Electronic Music Collective (EEMC), will perform' 'Electronic Adventures,'' a program of original, electronic compositions. The show will be held at the Unitarian Church at 8 p.m. April 27, with a $4 suggested donation. Peter Thomas, the spokesman for EEMC and a guitar instructor through LCC's Adult Education program, says the concen will be presented in two pans. The first half of the show will focus on live and sequenced solo performances; and the second pan of the show, will feature ensemble performances by the groups, "Soaring Hean" and "Mythic Sky." ''They (the ensembles) will be presenting original compositions that combine more traditional instruments with synthesizers and other electronic devices,'' says Thomas. For example, David Helfand of "Mythic Sky," will play celtic harp, guitar and a unique guitar-like instrument called a mando-cello. Local musicians, (members of EEMC) to perform include: Helfand; Eric Fraser; Chris Thomas; Dennis Pearman; Joe Kimzey LCC electronic music student; Rene Salm - LCC alumnus; Andre Chinn - host of the KLCC radio "New Dreamers" program; and Thomas. The EEMC had its humble beginnings as an off-shoot of the KLCC radio show, "New Dreamers," created by Peter Nothnagle. ''Nothnagle also taught synthesizer and a home recording class, which evolved into the credit class now offered at LCC,'' says Thomas. After the ''New Dreamers,'' a different electronic radio program called, '' Another Green World,'' was spawned by Brian McGill and Nathan Griffith. This program was intended to be more "up-beat" than its mellow predecessor. Presently, the two electronic music programs are continued at KLCC, by Griffith and Chinn. "When EEMC was founded in 1984, the goal was to pool musical energies and get recognition for electronic music,'' says Thomas. That goal persists today. Thomas says a goal of EEMC is to provide a forum for both recorded and live performance electronic music. He feels that for electronic music to thrive, it must become more performance oriented. Thomas adds that EEMC also offers compilation tapes, which are collections of the various works of EEMC members, presented in a sampler format. Thomas says he hopes ''Electronic Adventures'' will give the EEMC a more ''up front'' image in the community, provide an opponunity for the public to learn more about electronic music, and inspire those would-be composer/performers to come foward. ''I like to use electronic music as a·vehicle for sharing my own impressions of the world and also, as a way of creating other, little worlds for people to travel into,'' he says. ''With electronic music you can create a feeling of journeying to another, entire world -- a sense of place, that is different from the one you're in.''

I think those of us who have seen a movie at Mo"ies 12 would alJ agree, ie s small. Twelve small theatets with twelve small movie screens and one small corridor connecting each of the small theaters together. Whoever thought of designing Movies 12 must have had the idea that there were a lot of small people in the Eugene-Springfield community. Nonetheless, I welcome the arrival of a new theater. It's great to see new business p~pping up here and there. And, I must admit, I very much enjoyed the Civil War drama, "Glory.;, An outstanding film with acceptable, but small accomodations at.Movies 12 on the Gateway Mall. • • KLCC will air Save The furth on Earth Day, Sunday April 22 from noon to 2 p.m. The lineup includes top anists from the U.S.A., Japan and Brazil, who will perform live AIRBRUSH SALE 20°/oOFF 15°/oOFF PAASCHE AIRBRUSHES OLYMPOS AIRBRUSHES IWATA AIRBRUSHES AZTEK AIRBRUSHES COMPRESSORS: 10%-15 % OFF! .
