Cultural director steps
down from position
by _Tracy Brooks
Torch Staff Writer

Randy Brown, ASLCC
cultural director, resigned last
Friday, April 13, at a time when
many student Senate members
were discontent with Brown's
job performance.
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 .

Harris and Frishberg claim
that Brown scheduled the fundraisers despite Harris's disapproval. They allege that while
Harris was away in Korea during
finals week, Brown made bookings and placed deposits for the
events at the WOW Hall.
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.

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.

Editorial policy
Because Torch Editor Michael
Omogrosso is a candidate for ASLCC
president, the Torch has established an
editorial policy by which Omogrosso
will not panicipate in any way with the
coverage of the election process. News
Editor Devan Wilson will instead
oversee all coverage of the election process. Any questions or concerns are to
be directed to Wilson.
Subsequently, the Torch will refrain
from endorsing candidates for any office.

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!

Peter Jensen, LCC English instructor and Oregon Natural Resource
Council (ORNC) development specialist speaks at a recent Earth
Day forum.

• LCC's Flight Technology Department is featured in the
April 1990 issue of Flight Training Magazine, an aviation

trade magazine with national circulation. 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. Other events planned include a
reading by Native American poet Chrystos on April 25 at 12
p.m. in the LCC Boardroom. Chrystos recently received the
1990 grant for literature from the National Endowment for

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.

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.

ISC to host dinner,
'Amadeus' preview
by Robert Catalano
Torch Staff wn·ter

Fanner Torchie to head Emerald
The Board of Directors for the Oregon Daily Emerald announced Wednesday, April 18, that
it has chosen LCC alumna Alice C. 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

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.

Some confusion has occurred
surrounding the President's and
Vice President's Lists and who
should be included. 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.

Artist to give finger-lickin' workshop
'Voice' opens
by George Fitting
Torch Staff Writer

The LCC Art Depanment will be presenting an
exhibit of large scale ceramic sculptures by Gary
Greenberg April 2 3 through May 11.
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.
The LCC An Depanment Gallery is located in
the Math and Art Building on the east end of the
campus.

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.''

review by Alan Curtis
for the Torch

I'm sure that many of you already know that the new
Gateway Mall opened recently and with it came a new
theater, Movies 12.
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.
