Elections motivate record voter turnout
Omogrosso, Araujo elected
to 1990-97 A-SLCC offices
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Staff Wn'ter

In the largest voter turnout Lane has ever experienced, the student body of LCC voted Michael Omogrosso and his running mate,
Edisione (Sione) Barreto de Araujo, into the 1990-91 offices of
ASLCC President and Vice-President.
In other races, Laura Rodgers, who ran unopposed, won the
treasurer's seat with a total of 698 votes. Patricia Rosewood
defeated Randle Ross for the position of cultural director by a count
of 466 votes to 291. Out of 11 senatorial candidates, nine senators
were selected: Sabrina Panasuck collected 527 -votes; Sara SamanoBerg, 480; Loring Hummel, 468; Kim Poffenberger, 464; Daniel
Christensen, 446; Bette Dorris, 438; Sean Noble, 427; Tyra Ward,
416; and Seth Craig, 411. Dennis Bond and incumbent Noa
O'Hare did not win senator positions.
In the race between Omogrosso and Waddell, Omogrosso and
his running mate, Araujo, won 590 votes, beating the Waddell/Leist ticket by nearly a 2-1 margin. Waddell and her running
mate, Leist, netted only 301 votes.
"I am elated," says Omogrosso. He was, he says, "very nervous
about it." l set the first goal (of the election) at getting 1000 students
to vote," he explains. "We came so close."
Omogrosso praised the collective effort of Waddell, Leist,
OSPIRG, and the senators at getting more students to vote. "We,
together, did a super job of getting students out to voice their opinions at the polls." he says.
Omogrosso would like to thank all the candidates for making it
an "equitable" race. "None of us resorted to dirty politics."

Measures approved
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Staff Wn'ter

In what has been deemed a landslide
election, LCC students voted to raise the
1990-91 student fees $2 per term to fund an
OSPIRG chapter on campus by 77 percent
of those voting.
An even greater number of students,
though, carried the landslide over to
another ballot measure by an 80 percent
vote to continue participation in and funding for the Manin Luther King Day
Celebration. But the strongest student
mandate -- 89 percent of those voting on
the measure -- directed ASLCC to devote
resources toward planning the development
of a Student Services/ Child Care Facility
(Student Union).
Students voted 697 to 211 to place an
OSPIRG chapter on campus next fall. According to Maureen Kirk, the OSPIRG staff
person currently on campus, the direction
OSPIRG takes is up to the students. Issues
OSPIRG will address include recycling and
~ child care.
l!:
''There needs to be some planning,'' says
] Kirk. Students have, according to Kirk,
o been only dreaming about the chapter.
~ OSPIRG is ''really organized," though,
with the resources necessary to accomplish
things. "Incredible things will happen,"
President-elect Michael Ornogrosso participates in the

College, county reach
accord over levy dispute
by Mary Kathleen Browning
Torch Entertainment Editor

A splendid way to spend a warm sunny May 4, Friday afternoon was discovered by students at
the Cinco de Mayo celebration, sponsored by the Multi-Cultural Center. Mariachi Jalisco, a
mariachi band from Cornelius, Ore., was one of several attractions which entertained the
crowd. Other events included traditional hispanic dancing and the breaking of a pinata.

The LCC Board of Education
has approved an intergovernmental agreement between the
college and Lane County concerning irregularities in the
March 27 serial levy.
The agreement states that the
college will pay its share of the
March 27 election. However, if
the college chooses to place a
''new or similar ballot measure
on a similar ballot'' by July 1,
1991, the college will be reimbursed by the county for its
share of the election costs or
$25,000, whichever is less. The
reimbursement obligation expires July 1, 1991.
The board also discussed the
long-range financial needs of
the college, the timing of
another ballot measure, and
strategies to increase the chances
of voters passing a new measure.
LCC' s cost in the March 2 7
election was approximately
$19,000, according to Shirley
Pearson, secretary to the president.
The board now has to con-

sider its options for another
ballot measure: whether to ask
for another serial levy, or for a
new tax base.
Board member Chuck Ivey
says that he hopes the board will
select the November, 1990 election for the new ballot measure.
''We have a better chance when
there is a big (voter) turnout.
There are so many issues on the
November ballot: the governor's race, senate seats,
legislative seats . . . ''
Election dates possible for a
serial levy are: August,
September, and November,
1990; and March, May, and
June, 1991. Because the college
is allowed to put a tax base to
a vote in general or special elections on even numbered years,
the general election in
November, 1990 is the only upcoming election which the
county would reimburse for a
tax base measure.
The last tax base passed by
the college was in November,
1980. The college has failed in
five other attempts to pass a
new tax base since 1982.

EDITORIALS

Quality of election campaign top priority
by Michael Omogrosso
Torch Editor

The one political adage, "It's not whether you
win or lose, but how you play the game, '' is in direct
opposition to another proverb of social interaction:
''The end justifies the means. ''
In the former, success is tantamount to equitable
participation; in the latter, personal agendas take
precedence over achieving a balance of views.
This year's ASLCC elections on campus are much
more aligned with the former philosophy than were
the two previous elections. It was like there were no
oppositional platforms, but rather co-candidacies
differring only in nuaunce, not structure: both based
on generating student involvement. And so it
became easy for each group to respect the validity of
each other's ideals and opinions.
How each camp recognized the viability of the
other camp was most obvious at the May 4 Candidates' Debate. Vice presidential candidate Sione
Araujo was having difficultly overcoming her fear of
the debate. Hers was not a fear of speaking before
people -- as cultural director for two years at a

university in Brazil she spoke before crowds often -but the fear of having her well-planned thoughts
come out confused in the translation from her native
Portuguese to English. This is the same fear that
stops many beginning foreign language students
from initiating conservation with native speakers of
that language.
Presidential and vice presidential candidates
Christina Waddell and Melisa Leist saw Araujo's apprehension. They gave her hugs of support and
words of encouragement.
With the heartfelt support of the ''opposition''
and other friends, Araujo joined in the debate and
succeeded. Along with the rest of the candidates,
organizers, and the audience, she succeeded in participating in humanity's most precious gift, the free
exchange of opinions.
The pro-involvement stance by the candidates and
ballot measure supporters has also succeeded in bringing a record number of students to the polls. For
the presidential race, 891 students voted and for the
OSPIRG measure, 908 votes we counted. That is
more than a 1 / 3 increase over last year. It is a battle

won, but the war on apathy is still to be waged for
the upcoming state-wide primary election this May
15.
•
Once more voters are asked to visit their precinct
ballot boxes and vote. And, perhaps one segment of
the LCC student population -- students who believe
in pro-active involvement rather than reactive
rhetoric -- will help decide the course of the city, the
county, the nation, and, ultimately, the world.
It is not too late to call your favorite candidate or
cause and find out how you can best lend your support.
Voting is, of course, the least while at the same
time the most anyone can do. But if each person who
intends to vote can convince just one other person to
join the ranks of voters, regardless of how their vote
is cast, then the system becomes more credible.
Waddell and Leist knew that and placed a higher
priority on encouraging an "opponent" to participate than on winning ari election. Follow their
excellent example on how to "play the game," and
urge everyone to hit the polls May 15 and vote.

Death penalty flogged as a maJor
issue
1n
two campaigns
by Ken Houghton
Torch Staff Wn"ter

My attention, now and in the
past, is constantly held by the
question of capital punishment.
'' An eye for an eye . . . '' vs.
''The state must not commit
murder.'' You' re all aware of
the arguments.
The main reason for my current interest in the topic is that
it's being flogged as a major
issue in at least two campaigns
for governor: California and
Texas. The debate isn't over
whether or not to execute, but
which political job-seeker will
fill the most subterranean real
estate. Each applicant hopes it
will be him or her.
A recent survey showed that
79 percent of those questioned
were for the death penalty.
Therefore a like percentage of
our total population feels the
same way, or so goes the theory
of polling. In turn, this shows

why this is such a crowded platform, as far as elections go

My personal opinion is, some
crimes are so heinous, vicious,

My Attention
by Ken Houghton
anyway.
Now for some more number
crunching.
In the 11 years since the
Supreme Court turned determination of capital punishment
over to individual states there
have been approximately
244,000 killings in our country this includes everything from
first degree murder to
manslaughter and all other
gradations. In that same time
frame there have been 117 executions. Currently, 2,200 convicted murderers are residing on
death row in one state or
another.

and senseless that no other
punishment is fitting. That's
right, I said punishment. Not
protect society, rehabilitation,
or find out what sent this poor
soul down this path.
The question of deterrence is
still one without an acceptable
answer:. Life imprisonment
advocates say that in no case has
the murder rate declined in
states that have reopened their
chambers, chairs, -and now
stretchers (in the case of lethal
injection.) In fact, say they,
in a few case it has gone up. I,
and others, feel that a system

taking an average of eight years
from conviction to execution
loses the immediacy of the
threat and consequently the
deterrence factor is negated.
Ted Bundy, guilty with a
capital "G," danced the appeals process around for ten
years before his last waltz with
Old Sparky. At the very end, to
prolong his existence, he came
up with the macabre proposition that if his execution was
stayed, he would lead some
grieving families to the remains
of their lost members. This
graphically illustrates the
thought process that can be
started when a killer's, aspiring
or practicing, life is in
foreseeable jeopardy.
_
The question of "cruel and
unusual' ' punishment is the
strongest one against capital
punishment. Lethal injection
seems to be the least cruel, but
unusual, I don't know. What's

National Rifle Association: The legend and the reality
Commentary by
Robert Catalano
Torch Staff Writer

On the big screen, John
Wayne fought for his country,
never betrayed his comrades to
the enemy, and shot the bad
guys from the Alamo to Iwo
Jima. John Wayne became a
legend in his own time.
The legend of John Wayne,
however, is not all it seems. He
never served m the military
(deemed physically ''unfit'' by
his draft board), he unabashedly betrayed his friends to the
House Un-Amen·can Activities
witch hunt, and never shot
,anyone in his life. However, to
his credit, he did belong to the
National Rifle Association
(NRA).
As in the case ofJohn Wayne,
the NRA advocacy of gun
ownership rights and the
unregulated possesion of
handguns for "home defense"
is also a contradiction between
legend and fact.
The NRA would have us
believe the "right to bear
arms" and the right to be
' 'secure m their persons and
homes. . . ' ' are intertwining
constitutional protections. The
NRA's rhetoric 1s legendary;

however, its facts are in error.
Four times since 1876, the
U.S. Su pre me Court has
disagreed with the current NRA
position regarding the ''right to
bear arms" as a constitutional
protection.
In U.S. vs. Cruikshank
(1876), the Supreme Court
stated, ''The right of bearing
arms is not granted by the Constitution, nor is it in any manner dependant upon that inI strument for its existence.''
Pressler vs. Illinois reaffirmed
the Cruikshank decision and
further determined that
although states have the right to
form militias, they are also free
to regulate the circumstances
under which citizens bear arms.
The 1894 case of Miller vs.
Texas upheld the right of states
to regulate arms. The Court
determined that the "right to
bear arms' ' had not been
"incorporated" into the Constitution by subsequent amendments and thus did not apply to
the states.
The most recent and important decision came in a 1939
challenge to the 1934 National
Firearms Act. The Court affirmed the right of the U.S. Government to regulate firearms and

the "right to bear arms" was
limited to service m the
military.
The NRA' s advocacy of the
legend that gun ownership is
synonymous with ''protection''
m the home, also needs to be
tempered with fact. In the
1980s,
nearly
250,000
Americans lost their lives to
discharging handguns. In a
King County (Seattle),
Washington study, each defensive justifiable homicide was accompanied by 43 murders,
suicides or accidental deaths.
In 1989 alone, in the United
States, one child per day was accidentally killed by a handgun
kept in the home for "security"
and ''protection.''
The NRA answers these
statistics (if they don't ignore
the.m) with stories m their
magazine, ''The American
Rifleman,'' about Americans
who have protected themselves
with firearms. One particular
case concerned a female cabdriver in an Arizona city who
shot her assailant with a hand
gun to prevent being _raped.
The '' American Rifleman''
failed to mention that the cabdriver later reported to another

magazine that after wounding
her assailant, he grabbed her
gun, pushed the barrel against
her neck and pulled the trigger.
Luckily, for her, the gun was
empty.
The NRA's major support
comes from citizens m the
South where 44 percent of gun
owners in the U.S. reside. The
'' American Rifleman'' constantly applauds these states for
their relatively unrestricted
firearms statutes. Again, the
NRA neglects to tell the story
behind the legend.
The South, for all of its gun
ownership, is not a safe place to
live. "Time" magazine reports
this region of the U.S. boasts
the highest murder and accidental death rate, and far surpasses the rest of the U.S. in
deaths caused by one family
member shooting another.
Legend and truth are not as
interchangeable as the NRA
would like the American public
to believe. Americans have no
''right to bear arms'' in their
homes. The Supreme Court has
decided this. Owning a gun

HOW FAR WILL
YOUR DEGREE
TAKE YOU?·

does not ensure that a family
wiJl be protected from violent
death. Volumes of statistics
would seem to prove this. Why
then, is the controversy concern ing the regulation of firearms so
passionate?
Legends die hard. It was once
believed that' 'if God meant for
man to fly, he would have given
man wings;" yet, today we can
fly from Washington to London
in three hours. It is difficult to
change our belief in legends,
even when logic tells us to do
so. The NRA's advocacy of certain legends bears this out.
When in a decade of peace
five times as many Americans
die in their homes from firearms
than did U.S. soldiers in the
Vietnam War, it is past the time
for believing in legends. The
next time you hear about
legislation being supported by
the NRA, think twice before
deciding to support it.
As long as the NRA legend of
constitutional and home protection continues to live, greater
numbers of innocent Americans
will continue to die.

elections, May 7th, 8th, and 9th.

Applicants Sought for

EWEB Board Seat
Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) is currently
accepting applications for the board seat for Wards 1
and 8. The board seat was held by Richard Freeman,
who .recently passed away.
To qualify, an applicant must be:
â–  a registered voter.
â–  a resident of Ward 1 or 8 (see map).
â–  a resident of Eugene for the past 12 months.
The term of appointment will extend through
January 5, 1993.

He says he would like to avoid the problems the senate has had
this year with relationships in the senate . The solution, comments
Omogrosso, is in, ''Encouraging the student government to help
each other help the students.'' Most interpersonal friction comes
from some kind of discrepancy in the process of communication
with one another. We need to identify that discrepancy . . . how
we do that will be determined in the student government.' '
A dramatic rise in voting was experienced in the 1990-91 elections. In years previous, voter turnout has ranged in the 200-500
level. This year, approximately 908 votes were counted.

meat is the primary reason for
his organization's campaign
against veal on the menu.
Jarboe claims this process involves placing a calf in a small
metal cage to prevent movement for the duration of the
calf's life. The calf is given only
water to keep its muscle tissue

tender and white.
Stated in the proposal also
was a request to include a better
variety of vegetarian meals. The
coalition claims that besides
salads, only one vegetarian meal
selection is offered in the
cafeteria.
ASLCC voted to endorse the
coalition in its attempt to ban
veal from Food Services and include more vegetarian meal
selections.
• ASLCC approved funding
of meal allowances of $160 for .
the Forensics Team. The money ;
will be used when the team
travels to the Tom McCall Invitational Tournament at
Clackamas Community College, May 12-13.
The team's traveling costs are
covered through the Student
Services Office, but funding for
meals is usually left to the
students.
• The Senate also voted to
purchase 30 lawn signs at a total
cost of $300. The reusable signs
would be placed along the college entrance and exit roads.
The signs will say, "Vote Today."
Frishberg said the purpose is
to encourage students to vote in
any election, whether on campus or not.

meeting will take place in PE

Students won't be boarding the buses in the
usual places Wednesday, May 16 and only one
entrance/ exit will be accessible to vehicles as
well, says Paul Chase, head of Campus Security.
The NE ponion of Eldon Shafer Drive, the
campus access nearest the I-5 freeway, will be
closed all day Wednesday as part of the efforts
to upgrade the roadway and prepare for the in-

All traffic must use the NW entrance and
motorists are asked to be extra couneous and
patient.
Bus riders will be boarding and exiting buses
in front of the Admistration Building, by the
main fountain. This change in bus stop location will facilitate the arrival and departure of
buses during Wednesday's road construction.
The bus schedules will remain the same.

Belcher officially appointed at MCC
by Devan Wilson
Torch News Editor

LCC Vice President of Instruction Jacquelyn
Belcher' s appointment to a community college
presidency in Minnesota was made official May
10.

The Minnesota State Board of Community Colleges announced that Belcher has been appointed
the top post at Minneapolis CC. She will succeed
Earl W. Bowman, who has held the position for
nine years.
Last week Belcher said she was excited about
making the transition to Minnesota, and that she
was very impressed with the Minnesota community college system, calling it a "progressive" atmosphere that ''encourages creativity.''
Clarence Harris, president of the Minnesota
state board, called Belcher ''an excellent new
president who will bring a lot to the Minnesota
Community College System,'' in a press release

issued May 10.
Marianne Kimball, office manager for the Office of Instruction for LCC, says there's a general
feeling of suppon from the people who work with
Belcher in the Administration Building for her
her appointment.
LCC Board of Education Member Cindy
Weeldreyer echoes that sentiment. "I am pleased
that she has acheived what she has dreamed of
being a college president.''
'
The 50-year-old Belcher has been at LCC since
1986. Prior to her tenure at LCC she was an instructor and administrator at Bellevue Community College in Bellevue, Wash, for 15 years.
Her last day at LCC is expected to be June 1.
Commenting on her tenure at LCC, Belcher
said last week, ''It has been an exciting, challanging time. In the midst of all the budget reductions we have seen some very positive things happen,'' such as the establishment of Weekend College.

about when and where to do it.
The legal drinking age is set
at 21 in order to minimize the
number of people with
undeveloped social judgement
who get drunk, so that this type
of incident becomes a rarity.
The fact that 300 students,
many underaged, demonstrated
the social and ethical maturity
of judgement one would expect
of 6-year-olds only proves that
it's a valid law which should be
more strictly enforced.
His attitude that the
upholding of the law is
'' contrary to our heritage as
American'' when it interferes
with the abusive actions of the
irresponsible, is a bastardization
of the concept.
The view that it's one's
"inalienable right" to be inconsiderate of fellow human beings is what's contrary to our
heritage as Americans. If I were
a resident of that area, I'd have
called the cops myself that
night.

POSITION STATEMENTS

Public Safety
I believe much of our crime has its roots in family disfunction. We must
protect the rights of the abused. I support the Draft Public Safety Long
Range Plan, and the City's priority in responding to domestic abuse.
Economic Development
I support a labor driven model of growth. We must build a full service
economy which provides opportunity to a full range of employment, from
entry-level through advanced degree professional. We can provide excellent
K-12 schools, established universities, an educated workforce and a
beautiful setting for local and migrating firms.
Air Quality
Our air is at risk in the southern Willamette Valley. We must look closely to
the effects of growth on our air shed, and decrease emission levels from
automobiles, slash burning, field burning and wood stoves.
Transportation
We should walk, run and ride to more of the places we go. We have a plea·
sant bus system, although we haven't enough routes through in our Ward.
Bicycle routes that serve our area should also be improved, particularly for
north/ south access.
Street Maintenance
Our roads should be safely and adequately maintained for public use. Some
of our streets in Ward 1 are in poor repair. Some are not maintained at all.
We need to do more work in this area of City services.
lnfrastructu re
If we wish to influence the direction of our growth and keep a hand on the
quality and costs of public works, we'd best not be caught playing "catch·
up" in providing infrastructure. I believe we need a proactive position in
dealing with growth.

Eugene Downtown (Ballot Measure 20·02)
I believe that we need an updated plan for the core area. Yet I am not
satisfied with the proposed update. The update fails to adequately address
housing and alternative transportation within the core area, and is vague
about proposed public debt. Long term debt for capital improvements to the
core area should be carefully scrutinized. In our current economic climate I
believe Eugene Downtown will respond to a well formulated plan. I think
more work must be done on the updated plan.

Homelessness and Housing
The report of the Lane County Task Force on Homelessness and Affordable
Housing is an excellent piece of work. We should translate our concern into
adequate funding to give this plan an opportunity to work. We must gather
the political will from all parts of our community, private and public alike, to
solve the accelerating housing housing crisis we are experiencing.

The Library
Eugene needs a new library. We need more books and we need more space.
When compared to communities of comparable size our facility and our
collection don't measure up.
The Nuclear Free Zone Charter Amendment (Ballot Measure 20-01)
I believe the City Council has been insensitive on this issue. This issue
could have, and should have been resolved in the past. Nonetheless, I feel
we'd be "shooting ourselves in the foot" if we adopt this measure. This
measure might expose us to legal disputes that would deplete scarce
resources that could be better utilized elsewhere. Finally, I fear this measure
creates a forum for the type of divisive debates that have harmed our
capacity to find the unity necessary to achieve our potential as a
community.

NBA playoffs too long?
In the past years I have criticized, complained and condemned the NBA play-off system as
a capitalistic venture by the owners to lengthen
the season and pocket a few extra bucks (a few
extra million bucks, that is). That agony hangs
in my attic every year and refuses to let me
completely enjoy the basketball play-offs.
No matter what I do, I can not
escape it. But now I have found the
reason why watching so many
games bothers me.

by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

stats are blurted onto the screen at various intervals of torture so as to not completely push
me over the edge and turn off the TV.
Here are some samples:
• The Lakers always win.
• New Jersey never wins. Period.

Sports Rag

The plain fact is that every playoff series is an exercise in longevity
-- a virtual torture session of meaningless statistics and off-the-wall
comments by announcers that can
see no more than you or I, but claim to be omniscient.
Oh yeah, I still sit there and try to follow
what they are attempting to say, but the words
tumble over and create a ringing that soon
·makes my ears bleed. One announcer said
recently: ''Detroit almost always wins if they
score more than 100 points and still hold their
opponents to under 100." Very insightful!. '
Oh . . . who will stop the pain!
And the statistics -- okay Marv, let's have a
statistical analysis of how many meaningless
stats we can include in one game . . . or how
about a whole series? The statistics drive me
nuts . At least I can turn off the sound, but the

by Paul Morgan
• The Blazers average 42 rebounds per game
when it is a clear night in Denver ·and Dan
Quayle is in Central America.
• The Clippers almost always win when Red
Aurbach puts out his cigar while simultaneously jumping up and down on his desk and
scratches his armpits. Too bad this only happens about 200 times a year (maybe more.
Who knows?) Hee hee.
I guess the only thing left for me to do is
commit myself to an institution for statistically
insane basketball-overload victims. It's either
that or pay thousands of dollars to actually go
to every game.
Hey . . .now that's an idea. Help the
statistically insane! Send your donations to ...

A series of free clinics on
mountain bicycle riding will be
held in Eugene, May 14 to 17.
The purpose of ''Mountain
Bicycle Week,'' according to
Keith Nelson, assistant coordinator of the University of
Oregon Outdoor Program, is to
''educate mountain bicyclists
on both the fun and responsibilities of riding bikes off paved roads."
''Ninety-five percent of a.Ii
new bicycles sold in California
are mountain bikes,'' says
Nelson, an avid rider. "These
numbers support a bright
future for off-pavement
riding.''
Although a large majority of
mountain bikes being purchased will never be used offpavement, Nelson sees the importance of educating riders to
the rules and etiquette of riding
off-pavement.

' 'there aren't enough areas
close to Eugene to ride offpavement now,'' states Nelson,
'' and if people don't respect
private property and rules, it
will be difficult to open new
areas close to town."
On Monday, May 14,
representatives from local area
bike shops will be bringing the
new line of bicycles to the U of
0 campus for test riding.
On May 15 and 16, there will
be discussions and demonstrations of bicycle maintinence
held by employees of local bike
shops.
These programs will start at 7
p.m. at the U of O Outdoor
Program in the Erb Memorial
' Union.
On Thursday, May 17, at 7
:p. m. , a mountain bike riding
skills workshop will be held near
the Autzen Stadium BMX
track.
For further information call
the Outdoor Program at
346-4365.

Titans split in doubleheader
Derek W ormdahl drove in
the winning run with a sacrifice
fly as the LCC Titans beat Mt.
Hood Community College 3-2
and salvaged the second game
of a doubleheader Tuesday.

In the opener, the host Saints
pounded three LCC pitchers for
twelve hits enroute to a 12-5 victory. Mt. flood is now 11-8 in
league play and 20-10 overall ;
the Titans are 10-9 and 14-14.

open for summer term because in order to do that
we would need $6,000.
We are asking those of you who have
been a recipient of our help to help us in return
in our time of need. Anything you can give
would be greatly appreciated.

Bravo 'Amadeus' director, cast, crew

Peace Week celebration

Torch Entertainment Editor

As the final lines were
spoken, the stage lights were
lowered and the curtain fell on
LCC's opening night performance of "Amadeus." The cast
took its final bows before ar
audience which had risen, still
applauding, to give the performers a standing ovation.
Under the direction of Patrick
Torelle, the talented cast of
"Amadeus" give brilliant performances in their individual
roles. The combined efforts of
these individual talents yield an
outstanding production in
which the actors and actresses
glide through stage movements
wearing awkward period
costumes and wigs, giving the
appearance of unhampered
ease.
Yvonne Van Vactor's portrayal as Mozart's wife is expertly enacted as the actress effectively presents the contrast of
the comic antics of a young girl
in love with the serious and concise actions taken by a destitute
widow.
Jason Bortz, in the role of
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,
also gives an outstanding performance. His command of the
character is superb as he portrays the young and risque

ASLCC has planned workshops, awareness-raising discussions, and music for Peace Week, 1990, May 14 through 18.
Adrian (Moon) Miller, acting cultural director, says the
events have been planned to impact and inform as many people as possible. ''We tried to bring the information where the
people are. We want the events to be easily accessible to people who are just curious."
Miller hopes to attract a great deal of interest in the
"undoing racism" discussion -- "especially people who deal
with these issues or whose values might have an affect on their
work.'' She says she has especially tried to interest instructors,
counselors, financial aid personnel, and staff on this concern.

Actors Garland 0. Sprick, Yvonne Van Vactor, and Damon Noyes
pose in their period costumes foe "Amadeus," continuing this
weekend.

Mozart, and then, in a climatic
scene, delivers a powerful performance of the elder Mozart, a
broke and dying artist.
Barry Shaw's enactment of
Salieri, Mozart's vengeful rival,
is dynamic. Shaw's transition in
his character between an old
man, and a younger artist, is
remarkably well done.
Although many of Salieri 's lines

are long and could lapse the audience into irretrievable
boredom, Shaw's talent in articulation has a mesmerizing effect.
To the director, cast, and
crew of ''Amadeus, '' this writer
can say but one word to commend such a delightful and
memorable performance:
Bravo!
