VP Belcher accepts CC presidency in Minnesota to when that decision will be made. by Devan Wilson Torch News Editor LCC Vice President of Instruction Jacquelyn Belcher has accepted a presidency in the Minnesota community college system, according to Marianne Kimball, office manager for LCC's Office of Instruction. Kimball says that Belcher telephoned her Thursday afternoon from Seattle, where she had been attending the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, to tell her the news. Belcher was unavailable for comment Thursday evening. The Minnesota State Board of Community Colleges interviewed Belcher for the presidency at Minneapolis Community College and North Hennepin Community College on April 12. Belcher told Kimball that she was not informed which community college she will head, and that Gerald Christenson, chancellor of the Minnesota State Board, will make that decision. Kimball says that Belcher offered no timeiine as Belcher had also been a finalist for the presidency at Tacoma Community College. Kimball says Belcher cancelled her April 25 interview for that position. Kimball says that when she telephoned, Belcher seemed very pleased and told her the Minnesota State Board was very eager to have her join their staff. Belcher was impressed with the Minnesota State Board and sensed a positive attitude from the faculty and administration of the two colleges, according to Kimball. LCC President Jerry Moskus said on Thursday that Belcher will make an outstanding president. "I think the people in Minnesota made a great choice.'' Moskus says that he has anticipated Belcher accepting a presidency somewhere, and he has begun preparing to fill her position, but that the process is still in the preliminary stages.

LCC to host forensics championships by Devan Wilson Torch News Editor LCC will play host to over 60 competltlve orators in the Annual Northwest Community College Forensic Championships April 27 and 28. Contestants from community colleges in Oregon, and Washington, will compete for trophies and plaques in 10 events for separate speaking forms: debate, extemporaneous, informative, impromptu, persuasive, sales, and after dinner speaking; poetry interpretation, programmed oral interpretation, and prose interpretation. The debate competition will open the tournament at 8 a.m. on Friday. The event will close with the presentation of awards at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. Last year the LCC Forensics Tearn won the Oregon section of the tournament. Five of the seven members of that team were either finalists or trophy winners. Returning from last' s year team is Susanna Kuehl, who recently earned first place in the Program Oral Interpretation competition at the Willamette University Invitational Tournament in Salem. Members of the LCC Forensics Team entering this year's tournament include: Kuehl, Dan Clark, Debi McNamara, Nola Pritchard; Andrew Smith, Karel Buller, Elizabeth Joseph, and Tisha Oehman. Other than Kuehl and Clark, none of the members of LCC' s team has any experience competing in forensics tournaments. Speech instructor Barbara Breaden, the LCC team's advisor, says "I think we have a number (of students) who are very competitive. I expect that our students will perform credibly against their competition.'' Among schools fielding teams for the tournament is Clark Commmunity College in Vancouver Wash., which Breaden says is the number one community college forensics team in the nation. - - . . ~ ~ i fti I\ .....

Robert Polhill, one of eight Americans being held hostage in the Middle East, was released Sunday morning, after 39 months in captivity. He said his captors had never really mistreated him. This statement was emitted in a hoarse voice, from a· haggard face. Both Syria and Iran received faint praise from a White House spokesman for their participation in the release.

By Sunday, April 29, Native American Week will have passed by with very little notice. Even in places frequented by the ''alternative'' set, where Gay Pride Week and National Secretary Week are proudly proclaimed together, there is sparse, if any, attention paid to those who first held this land in trust. And that is disheartening. Everyone in this magnificent area called the Willamette Valley should be particularly saddened at the mention of Native American Week. A sadness of mourning, not guilt, for there are no Kayapuya speakers living today. No guilt should be felt because no one alive today is responsible for the extinction of the last native inhabitants of the valley of sickness, as this once vast wetland was called. But, a state of mourning should exist because the press of this society extinguished a proud people. By 1849, Joseph Lane wrote that the Kayapuya's (Calapooya) were reduced not by war, but by white man's diseases to a mere 60 people. By the early 1950s they had all left to catch salmon in some other life. When next a drop of rain explodes on a leaf, remember with just a bit of sadness what once was and can never be agam.

To the Editor: A response to Inalienable Rights; Torch, April 13. Mike. West, it would seem, is just as immature and misinformed as those who attended the incident in question: I will assume he was referring to the tear gas incident near the University of Oregon campus several weeks ago. First of all, it was estimated that over half of those in attendance were minors. Possession and consumption of alcohol by a minor is illegal. Disturbing the peace, public urination, failure to heed a lawful order, and assulting a police officer is illegal. How can you justify these activities as inalienable rights? There are clearly written statutes on every one of them. Do you really believe there is not? The police in this incident were merely responding to complaints from neighbors who's rights were being violated. You say "it is time for Americans to take this country back from the police and from the government ... '' Without the government to enact legislation and a police force to uphold -those laws, you wouldn't have those rights to begin with. The government is the voice of the people. Let's not forget that. I'm all for standing up for our rights but one must know what those rights are. We should be praising our law enforcement personnel for defending those rights. Education, above all else, is the key to changing such misguided beliefs as you currently hold, and bettering America for all. Daniel S.

Though it is not localized, it is still an important part of our environment.

Michael, my husband , would come driving up in our old VW van bringing our sixmonth-old baby Brittany along so I could nurse her. A quick feeding , a burp and a hug, and then it was off to my next class.'' Now two years later, LCC student Susan Breitzmann isn't trying to "do it all," but she is trying to find a healthy balance between home, work, and school since she has joined the ranks of ''returning students.'' ''Ever since my oldest son was a baby, which was 17 years ago, I have wanted to come back to school,'' says Breitzmann. But, Letters she went into motherhood full bore and put school on the back burner. Breitzmann 's full face has a warm smile. Her brown shoulder-length hair, which she wears tied back, is laced with strands of grey. At 45 years of age, she is now a mother of three teen-agers , one pre-teen, and one toddler. This spring she will chalk up her third term at LCC. She carries a full load of classes and fits in 10 hours a week of work study at Whiteaker Preschool in Eugene. Breitzmann says school is a bridge to the career arena she loves best. ''I am intensely interested in babies and the birthing process. I want to know what makes kids tick.'' Twelve-year-old Molly leans over the back of her mom's chair in their Washington Street home as Breitzmann's career plans unfold. ''I would like to have been a mid-wife," she recalls. While living in Newport in 1980, Breitzmann literally walked her neighbor through the stages of labor along the beach for several hours. ''Later I wondered what Newport tourists thought of seeing a pregnant woman holding her stomach, stopping to do her pant-blow breathing,'' she laughs. But Breitzmann knew that such a career would require long hours away from home. She decided that children are just as interesting once they are born. She set her sights on a career encompassing the step after birth Turn to Returning, page 4 continued from page 2 vice.

Michael, who was working afternoons and evenings, agreed to bring their daughter Brittany up to the school for feeding. Then, in 1989 Michael took a job here and the family moved to Eugene. Advice from Brietzmann's friend Toby, who runs Tofu Palace, pointed her in the direction of LCC.

Forest Service, U.S.D.A. ra Mexican national pursues 'dream of better life' via LCC by Robert Catalano Torch Staff Wn'ter Five years ago, with only the clothes on his back, LCC student Juan Valle rode his motorcycle north across the U.S. Mexican border to an uncenain future. "I thought riding across in the daytime would be better than running across at night,'' remembers Valle. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) estimates that thousands of illegal Mexican immigrants cross the border daily, to a tune of 1. 7 to two million in 1989 alone. The immigrants are led across by coyotes, men who charge a fee for acting as guides across the border and who often charge an additional fee for illegal papers. Frequently robbed by border bandits, these illegal aliens come seeking a better life in the United States. "I had no future in Mexico," says Valle, "There would have been no money for school or training and I would only look forward to a life of poveny. '' Upon crossing the border, Valle immediately migrated to Oregon where he had heard jobs in the fields and orchards would be plentiful. LCC student Juan Valle Often working sixteen hours a day picking strawberries, and living in substandard housing with little ventilation and no sanitary facilities, Juan dreamed of the day he could leave the fields behind and go to school. "I worked many hours but I got little pay," says Valle, "Employers would cheat me out of what I was owed and if I complained they threatened me with 'La Migre' (INS agents)." With no documentation regarding citizenship, Juan was limited to working at menial jobs until the Immigration Act of 1986. Juan immediately applied for ''Amnesty'' and went to work legitimately for the first time in the United States. While working at a restaurant in Medford, Valle was voted Employee of the Month on two occasions. It was there he first heard of the High School Equivalency Program (HEP) at the University of Oregon. ''I knew I would go nowhere if I couldn't speak English," says Valle. "I applied because I had no other choice for a better future. " A short time after graduating from HEP, Valle enrolled at LCC to participate in the Study Skills program. ''Now I can read and understand English much better,'' Valle says with enthusiasm, "Next year I will go to Oregon State (University) to study to be an interior designer. ' ' "A few years ago, I only wanted to go back to Mexico. Now I have a future." With help from Connie Mesquita, director of the Multi-Cultural Center, and other students, Valle's adjustment to studying at LCC has been easier than he thought it could be. ''When I came to LCC, I knew only a few other Mexican students. Now I live with an American family, I have many friends, and my own bank account. Without Connie and my friends, I don't think I would be so successful in school.'' "I had no future in Mexico" Juan Valle For millions of other Mexican immigrants who share his dream of a better life, Valle offers this advice: "Learn English and the laws of the United ·states. Learning English has not made me less Mexican but it has made me more successful.

Problems like: over-harvesting the oceans with drift net fishing techniques, antiquated forestry practices, and industrial pollution at abhorent levels.

Even that funny clown Ronald jumped onto the bandwagon along with a few stuffedshirt corporate executives.

On the last day of the NBA regular season, in a game that meant nothing for two teams headed for the playoffs, Los Angeles Laker Head Coach Pat Riley decided to rest some of his starting players against the Blazers. Laker staners Magic Johnson,James Worthy, and Mycal Thompson sat out the entire contest. Thompson was, however, coming off a knee injury. The NBA does not want its paying customers to be disappointed, and as a result it is forcing the best players to play every night. Basically, the NBA is saying that if you are a superstar, or even a starter, you will not get a night off unless you are injured. This kind of twisted thinking will insure increased injuries next year, whether real or not. It seems there is very little essence of the game left in this sport. It is nevertheless pan of the game to let a coach play whomever he damn well pleases -- as long as it doesn't hurt the team.

Sleep late, lay in the sun, take a whirlpool and However, if you are like the rest of us and can't afford Hawaii, then drink plenty of liquids, get as much sleep as you can, and try to make up the homework. Maybe this Sunday you could go wild and treat yourself to a bargain movie and a coupon pizza. Keep trying you' 11 get through it. Dr.D. Dear Dr. Decorum, Well Earth Day is over, and most of the people I saw who participated are really concerned about improving the environment and willing to take action to help. But until big business commits to saving the planet, it will be a losing battle. Has corporate America done anything to preserve the ·ecology? Henry Thoreau Dear Henry, In the twenty years since the first Earth Day, big business has had time to deliberate its position and formulate a plan of action regarding the earth's ecology. If this last Earth Day ,was any indication, I see a tremendous expenditure of money, will, and creative ability dedicated to an advertising campaign, and an action plan which will produce as much change as spitting in the desert.

Cinco de Mayo (May 5) commemorates the 1862 Battle of Puebla, where Mexican nationals proved to the world their willingness to die rather than to submit to a foreign invader (France). Today, many Americans of Mexican descent have added to the celebration a feeling of unity in the struggle of all peoples, often against great odds, for a better way of life in the United States. ' 'Cinco de Mayo gives me a feeling of being clean," says LCC student Carlos Covarru bios. ''The things that burden me are washed away.'' The festivities will begin at 11 ip.m., on the lawn north of the cafeteria, with the music of Mariachi J alisco. ''Mariachi musicians are the trou badors of Mexican culture,'' says Multi-Cultural Center Director, Connie Mesquita. ''Their Com"dos (ballads) speak of love, struggles of life, and famous local events.'' Included in the entertainment will be traditional bailes (dances) and ballads by Spanish-speaking LCC students. The festivities will end at 2 p.m. with the breaking of a pinata, a tradition dating back to 16th century Europe. In conjunction with the LCC festivities, activities celebrating Cinco de Mayo will be held May 4 and 5 at the Erb Memorial Union on the University of Oregon campus. For further information contact Connie Mesquita at ext. 2276 or at the LCC MulitCultural Center. Highlights compiled by Denise Logan for the Torch Amadeus 'one of the best' ever by George Fitting Torch Staff Writer The LCC Performing Arts presents Department ''Amadeus,'' an award winning drama about the musical genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The musical opens Friday, May 4 at 8 p.m. in the LCC Mainstage Theatre. Set in 18th century Austria, ''Amadeus' ' is the story of the hatred and envy that a technical court composer, Antonio Salieri, felt towards Mozart, the greatest musical genius of the time. Salieri is unable to accept the godly talents bestowed on Mozart, who also happens to be a tactless, malicious, and spiteful exhibitionist. Director Patrick Torelle says, ''This is one of the best plays we've ever done .'' Torelle, with 25 years experience directing, adds, "It's one of those plays where everything clicks, everything comes together in one place at one time. '' Even if a person has seen the award winning movie version of "Amadeus," the LCC production will be worth attending. Torelle points out that there is a difference between going to the theater and viewing a movie. ''Movies, they point a camera at reality; while theater appeals to the imagination." He says that there are things you just can't do in a movie, like the interaction of the audience with the actors and ''the spontaneity of it (theater), the idea that at any moment something could go wrong.'' Barry Shaw, who plays Salieri, has a wide range of experience in many local productions and is appearing in an LCC production for the first time. Torelle calls Shaw "a wonderful actor, very inventive, and intelligent, with a great, biting sense of humor. '' Shaw is the only performer in ''Amadeus'' who is not an LCC student. Jason Bortz, who plays Mozart, is a first year student at LCC. He has appeared in a number of high school productions, and was seen most recently in "Chicago" at the Hult Center. Myrna Seifert, LCC Performing Arts publicist, says, ''People who have seen the play and the Page 12 April 27, 1990 • "The Voice of the Prairie" ends its run in the Blue Door Theatre this weekend.

LCC performers practice in their period costumes. ~ ,Q 0 movie, like the play better.'' She adds, ''It would be wonderful if we could get the students to come to the theater. '' Students may purchase tickets for only $4 after 7:30 p.m. All performances begin at 8 p.m. However, Seifert suggests that theater patrons may want to arrive at the performance about 7:30 p.m. to catch the preshow storydance. The storydance is a concept of costumer Kathryn O. Lynn's Lynn says that the preshow helps to set the right mood for the performance by introducing the audience to the attitudes and mannerisms of the period, as well as the look of the clothing, and the movements and dances of an 18th century court.
