On campus memorial to honor late LTD LCC route bus driver
by Devan Wilson
Torch News Editor

A memorial in honor of LTD bus
driver Donald White will be dedicated
on campus. White, who drove the LCC
routes for six years and was a familiar face
to many LCC bus riders, passed away on
Easter Sunday, at the age of 53.
White is survived by his wife, Marjorie; and daughters Amy White, an
LCC music student; and Kathryn
Robertson, all of Eugene.
After White's death, Pauline
Preussner, an LTD rider and personal
friend of Amy White, suggested the two
work to establish the memorial on campus.
"She's the one who had the idea,"
says Amy White. Preussner's suggestion,
she says, took her by surprise.
"He was so friendly and sweet to all
the students," says Preussner. "I
thought he deserved (a memorial)."
The two were directed to Joe Farmer,
director of the LCC Foundation, and
plans to establish the memorial began.
A tree standing across from the LTD
terminal on campus is to be dedicated in
White's honor. Amy White and

Deceased LTD bus driver Don White is pictured with the smile many LCC bus riders
are familar with and will remember . .

Preussner are in the process of collecting
funds for a bronze plaque to dedicate
with the tree. If enough funds are collected, the two also plan to place a second plaque in the LCC Peace Garden,
near the Forum Building.
Preussner and Amy White hope to
have the plaques in place by the end of
the school year.
"I think it's neat that he won't be
forgotten so quickly,'' says Amy White.
"He would be very honored to know
that this is happening for him. ' '
Anyone interested in contributing to
the memorial fund can do so by making
donations to the LCC Foundation in the
oame of Donald White, or by contacting
Marybeth Wilde in Health Occupations,
ext. 2631.
Interested parties can also contribute
by contacting Preusner at 689-7726, or
by placing donations in a box to be placed in the Performing Arts Department
office.
White, who drove for LTD for 16
years, was especially fond of driving the
LCC routes and enjoyed the company of
LCC students, his daughter says.

NBA playoffs primary]ocus at election central
by Michael Omogrosso
Torch Editor

The single biggest event on election night at the
Lane County Convention Center was not the defeat
of the Nuclear Free Zone ballot measure, not the
upset of Rob Bennett by the politically unknown
bicycle shop owner, Paul Nicholson, but the double
overtime NBA playoff game beween the Portland
Trail Blazers and the San Antonio Spurs. And that
says a lot about how important this election must
have been to the 65 percent of the registered voters
who did not vote.
Many people didn't vote because it's only a
primary election -- it's not the every-four-year big
one. How very wrong they are.
Yes, primary selection of candidates for the
November election were included in the May 15
ballot, but so much more was at stake. And the

stakes were higher because of the local significance of
this and similar elections throughout the year.
Many people didn't vote because they could not
or did not fit it into their busy schedule, knowing
full well that their neighbor would cast the right vote
anyway. And that is such a shame because where
local elections are concerned, every vote has a high
impact on the result. Each vote does impact national
elections too, but locally the effect is much greater.
Soi what do the election results say about the
political climate of lane County?
• People are concerned that political idealism will
get in the way of attracting dead end factory jobs to
the area.
• And it is probably good that companies like Rohr
can feel comfortable moving to Lane County, since
the local schools will be ill-equipped to provide the
high caliber education required for creative jobs with
a future.

• Voters are fed up with the conservative posture of

the Eugene City Council but also mandate county
government to be more conservative.
• While alleged inappropriate administering of 4-J
School District funds was suggested as one strong
reason for the resounding defeat of the 4-J levy, a
system of urban renewal that saw the downtown mall
twice renovated and funds targeted for downtown
housing used to develop a private heath spa instead
was given a vote of confidence on two different
measures (albeit by unhealthy margins).
So what do the election results say about the
political climate of Lane County?
The part of the electorate that did not vote are
apathetic and the part that did vote need to spend
more time educating themselves with the facts and
determining just what the heck they do support.
And the rest 1 they just complain.

People ask, 'Hey George, what happened to 'read my lips'?'
by Ken Houghton
Torch Staff Writer

My attention, and I mean
always, is amused by the process
of assigning blame. I should say
'' trying to blame somebody
else.'' People will rarely stand
up and say, "Yeah, it was all
my fault.'' When it does happen, there's usually an assumption of an ulterior motive.
The recent spate of college
student party/ riots have one
thing in common
the
students and cops each stand
with finger pointed at the
other. Washington D. C. Mayor
Marion Barry, and his supporters, blame his recent drug
indictments on the police, while
the police say that they didn't
put the alleged crack pipe into
his alleged mouth. Few, if any,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Good Nazi ?
To the Editor:
The responses to my letter on
the student/ police tear gassings
raise some valid points. Unfortunately, they also seem to respond to a letter I never wrote.

If you will compare these letters, you may find that what is
"illegal" can be the subject of
varying interpretation. It is also
dependent on individual facts.
This is one reason why our
forefathers chose to include a
provision in our constitution
which protects against the infliction of punishment without
due process of law; ie. a legal
determination on guilt. That
protection exists whenever a
citizen and the police encounter
each other. Contrary to what
some persons may believe, the
police have no authority to inflict summary punishment on
the masses because some among
them engage in ''illegal'' activity.
There were also people in the
crowd who were tear gassed by

police for doing nothing more
than walking through the area.
I spoke with some of them
shortly after the incident who
told me this had happened to
them. Only a "good Nazi"
mentality which exalts police
power above that which it was
instituted to protect can rationalize their tear gassing.

Editor's note: The following let-

ter, submitted by LCC Botany
instructor Dr. Rhoda M. Love,
was originally sent to Paul Colvi:n, director of Campus Services.
To the Editor:
I am writing to strongly protest the very recent spraying of
herbicides on the native and introduced vegetation adjacent to
the LCC south parking lots.
As you know, I have headed
the LCC Science Department's
Botany program for a number
of years now. It has been a

pleasure to teach these courses
at this campus because of our
rural setting and the proximity
of examples of native and introduced vegetation which can
be used for teaching purposes.
A fine example of a northfacing Willamette Valley oak-fir
woodland lies immediately adjacent to the south parking lot
behind the Science Building.
For a number of years I have used this area as an outdoor
classroom in the teaching of
botany. In this area the flora of
native and introduced species is
highly diverse with many unique members of their plant
families that the students might
not see elsewhere. Frequently,
during the spring term, I take
the class to this area to do identification· work.
Today I arrived to check the
progress of bloom of a number
of species on the slope in which
I am particularly interested
(Lomatium, Delphinium,
Nomophila, Linum, Ptentilla,
Sisyrinchium among others),
only to find that large numbers
of especially important plants

While all this politicking is
going on, the national debt
heads up into areas of space that
even the Hubble telescope
won't be able to see. Whether
we all stay in school or join the
workforce it's eventually going
to come from our pockets. If we
can afford pockets, that is.
I can't recall a single case
where finger pointing and
blame shifting has produced a
positive result. In this particular
instance, it's exponentially
destructive. The interest on the
debt alone could destroy our
economy. It's happening in the
Third World countries, and our
debt and interest is past this

o?or of spray was heavy in the
au.
I am upset by this action for
several reasons: (1) Plants which
I use for instruction (many of
them delicate and beautiful
wildflowers) have been killed;
(2) due to negative side-effects
of chemicals used, the area has
been made unsafe for students
to sit and identify species; (3) at
a time when Lane County, the
University of Oregon, Eugene
School District 4-.J and other
local entities are moving toward
integrated vegetation management, and a policy of public
awareness, LCC sets a negative
example with indiscriminate
chemical use.
I would very much appreciate
a chance to talk to you about
the college's policy on chemical
plant control. I am an appointed member of the Lane
County Vegetation Management Advisory Committee and
have some knowledge of integrated management programs.

Desktop publishing: The future is without limit
by Dennis Bishop
For the Torch

Desktop publishing: What is it?
The most difficult aspect of desktop
publishing (DTP) is trying to define it.
Technically, desktop publishing is a process of
combining text and graphics on a page using a
microcomputer and printing on a highresolution imagesetter. For the process, you
need a fairly fast IBM, IBM clone, Commodore
Amiga, or Apple Macintosh with lots of internal
memory, plus hard disk storage. You also need
at least four software packages (programs), and
a laser printer.
If all this sounds expensive, it is. A bare-bone
system costs about $10,000. But at this price
you will spend most of your time just waiting
on the computer. A fast, flexible high-end
system can cost upwards of $25,000.
Ironically, it isn't really publishing at all.
Publishing is a complex process of disseminating
ideas via the written word and printed graphics
involving experts in editing, design, typesetting,
illustration, photography, layout, pasteup,
platemaking, printing, and binding. Currently
desktop publishing aids in only a few of these
areas. But this is rapidly changing, which really
adds to the confusion in attempting to pin
down a definition.
Right now, desktop publishing allows people
to lay out text and graphics on the screen of
their computer and print it on paper at a
premium price.
Are you qualified?
Although we have not totally defined desktop
publishing, let's talk about what it takes to
become a desktop publisher.
You should have impeccable editing skills,
and a solid background in design and
typography. You should understand the
processes and practice of mechanical pasteup,
and also the processes of printing and
production.
You should know no less than four of the
most popular software packages -- two for
creating graphics, one word processor, and one
pagination program -- while keeping an eye on
the market in anticipation of newer and better
ways. And lastly, you will need to constantly
justify that your multi-thousand dollar desktop
publishing system saves money, time, and
trouble over doing it ''the old way.''
If all this sounds intimidating, it should. It's
even better if you' re confused by now. This
means you may be qualified to become a
desktop publisher.
Who's out there?
Things happen fast in the world of
computers. Desktop publishing is only five years
old and has already transformed the way
business, industry, and government produce

documents. Hardware and software are
continually becoming more powerful and more
complex. Gannet, Spectra-Physics, Aster
Publishing, Sundance Natural Foods, the
United States Congress, Tektronix, to name a
few, use desktop publishing in some aspect of
their daily business. The jobs are out there if
you qualify -- the more skills you have from the
list above, the better. Renaissance humans are
in short supply, so if you are up to the task,
there are plenty of employers out there who
would love to hire you.
Does LCC have a desktop publishing
program?
No. But it does offer one beginning desktop
publishing class co-sponsored by the Art &
Design, Mass Communication, Data Processing,
and Business Departments. The class is offered
in a Macintosh lab -- presently the bestequipped lab in the area. The curriculum is
very rigorous. In my opinion, as instructor of
this course, that one term is not adequate to
cover the various aspects of desktop publishing.
A better program would offer a three-term
sequence where the first term offers an
introductory course on how to use computers,
the second term offers an introduction to
desktop publishing, and the third term requires
students to complete ''real world'' desktop
publishing projects.
Currently the format of the Introduction to
Desktop Publishing class serves students who
have extensive experience in the other facets of
publishing. Students with little or no experience
are at a distinct disadvantage under the current
format.
Although the lab setup is adequate for
beginning desktop publishing, it would have to
be upgraded to teach advanced application.
More internal memory for the Macintoshes, a
digitizing scanner, and multiple applications
would provide a start for advanced classes.
Then, classes could be offered in subjects
tangential to desktop publishing such as digital
typography, animation, and digital
photography. Currently no plans have been
made to offer any such curriculum.
Although I may sound critical of LCC 's
efforts, I am supportive of its desire to offer
desktop publishing to LCC students. It is my
opinion that the departments offering this class
did not anticipate the demands of this new
discipline, and I would strongly recommend
that they reevaluate the need for a
comprehensive desktop publishing curricula.
I believe there is also a downside to the
proliferation of computers into the workplace.
The nature of the computer as a tool makes it
potentially as confining as it can be liberating.
Knowledgeable, well-rounded people are
needed to take full advantage of this powerful
new communication tool.

Desktop publishing instructor Dennis Bishop (upper right corner)
encourages a student. While he says LCC has the best facility
around for beginning desktop publishing, he also says expanded
memory for the Macs and a three term course is required to seriously teach the discipline.

A few days ago I watched a
girl with long braided-hair and

and remembered when I too
was young, idealistic and looked
different from the majority of
my peers.
Back then being involved in
the "peace" movement was a
relatively new concept. To me it
meant looking like a hippie, interpreting Bob Dylan lyrics, and
trying to convince like-thinking
girls that casual sex was a
legitimate avenue of protest. I
wore my long hair with pride
and the main source of controversy in my life was arguing
with my mother over the merits

Aspiring writer uses LCC as 'stepping stone'
by Megan Guske
Torch Staff Writer

Ken Houghton pulls a photo from
the pocket of his sleeveless jean vest, a
picture of two young Marines drinking
tequila and relaxing on the beach in
Japan. "I can't believe I ever looked
like this.
"We -got arrested that day," says
Houghton with a smile. The two
almost-bald Marines were arrested for a
vulgar comment on Houghton's shin.
Houghton' s military haircut has
grown out to shoulder length and is
touched with strands of grey. He's added the rattle from a snake as an ear ornament to accent the strands. Below
the shon sleeve of his shin, a tattood
buxom beauty wriggles with the movement of his muscles. Houghton
possesses the look of a traveler.
Like a comet collects dust and gas to
acquire its magnificant glow,
Houghton has collected experiences in
the world that have helped him succeed
in bringing adventure to his writing.
Since the age of 15, Houghton has
been travelling the world and earning
his "Masters Degree" in life. Now back
in school, he is using his experience to
pursue a career in writing.
"I didn't know what I wanted to do
and that's why I didn't come back (to
school) for so long," says Houghton.
"I lived in a house with some college
students and they told me 'you should
write'." Houghton chose not to immediately follow the advice of his peers
and continued to travel the world.
He hitchhiked cross country as a
teen. He worked occasionally to bring
in money for his trips to other countries. ''It was mostly travel and work,''
he says while describing the path of this
life. He frequently pursued work in the
contruction business, but also worked
as a private investigator and for a televi-

for a station called 'Catch 22','' says
Houghton as he displays his 'Catch 22'
T-shin, ''But I was working within the
hours of 2 a.m. to 6 p.m. '' Houghton
never acquired much fame at the
Alaska station. ' 'Anyone in Eugene
who had seen me in Alaska probably
wouldn't recognize me. ''
While hitchhiking around the country, Houghton stayed in rest stops and
parks and occasionally on roadsides. He
recalls the worst pan being the showering, or rather, the ' 'lack of. ''
Travelling through Georgia,
Houghton ran into trouble with the

law. ''I was arrested for having one foot
in the ditch," says Houghton "They
(police) arrested me because I had no
money and was a vagrant.'' After a
night in jail, he was driven to the state
border, dropped off, and told not to
return. Houghton continued his life on
the road for many years but his course
quickly changed after an accident.
While unloading heavy objects from
a truck in a moving job, Houghton
slipped ori a piece of cardboard and
fractured his knee-cap. The force of the
leg flying forward put immense
pressure on the patella, causing it to

thing that seemed familiar
about him was the way he

In earlier years, he had taught

and was walking like Quasimodo,'' says
Houghton ''That was my last day of
work."
While off the job, Houghton staned
doing some writing oh an old
typewriter.' 'I had to have something to
do while I wasn't working," he says.
He soon saved up enough money to
purchase a computer and was able to
trade in the old typewriter. And then
he knew it was time to return to school.
Houghton enrolled at LCC and
began taking writing clases. He attended a writer's workshop in Florence at
the Heceta lighthouse where he got the
idea for a novel he is now working on.
"It's a classic haunted house story with
some modern stuff thrown in,'' says
Houghton. "The hero is a guy who's
kinda like guys I've worked with. The
people who are discovering all the bad
stuff are a landscaping crew, and the
bad guy has been around for hundreds
and hundreds of years.''
Combined with his interest in
writing, the ex-Marine has strong
political views. While taking a political
science class, a fellow classmate and
Torch reponer, Paul Morgan, suggested that Houghton write a weekly
column. Soon after, he started a weekly
column entitled ''My Attention''
which deals with Houghton's
"attention," which is often sarcastic,
on various issues. The mostly liberal
writer discusses topics ranging from
Bush to bureaucracies.
After completing all of LCC' s
writing classes, Houghton hoped to attend the University of Maine next year,
to continue his study of creative
writing. However, a lack of finances has
put that plan on hold. Houghton says
he will always remember Lane as a stepping stone in his college career,
though.

Classes trigger interest in local, state governments
by Michael Omogrosso
Torch Editor Wn"ter

The upcoming November
election serves as the focus for
this summer's Political Science
203 , American Government
class and some Cooperative
Work Experience (CWE)
students, says LCC instructor
Steve Candee. State and local
governments are studied in the
203 class.
"What I'm trying to do,"
says Candee, "is to tailor the
class so that people will have a
chance to use the election
. . . (and) will look at the
various races.'' And he says the
CWE positions on various election campaigns provide the
hands-on experience for
students considering a political
career.
While the class fulfills a
government cluster requirement, Candee has structured it
to accommodate students with
no former government class experience. "When I taught it in
the past I taught it as the third
course in a sequence and I
assumed that people would
have a certain background in
American government,'' says
Candee.
But he found many students
had not taken the two prior
courses and so he had to make
the state and local government
class a stand-alone course.
''Abysmal'' is the word
Candee uses to describe the
community's knowledge of how
the state and local governments
work. "It's reflected in voter
turnout,'' claims Candee. He
compares a 60 percent voter turnout for national elections, particularly presidential ones, with
25 or 30 percent for state and
local elections.
' 'The ironic thing is that

where people can really make
some sort of difference at the
local level, where races can be
determined by as little as a hundred votes, it's what brings the
fewest number of people out (to
vote) ."
And , while Candee attributes
the nearly two to one discrepancy of voter turnout between national versus state and local elections to how the media hypes
the nationals, he says the local
media does a good job of covering the candidates and issues
that are close to home without
the sensationalism.
Candee incorporates media
involvement thematically in all
the government classes he
teaches throughout the year.
He has had as guest speakers
in his class former state congressman and current Oregon
State Justice Ed Fadley; Mike
Gleason, city manager for
Eugene; and David Dix,
another Oregon congressperson,
to name a few. And, for the upcoming summer class, County
Commissioner Jerry Rust has
agreed to come and talk, as well
as Gleason.
While Candee suggests taking the class on state and local
government concurrently with
CWE to provide academic
backgound information, it is
not a requirement for the CWE
credit. "I'm trying to use CWE
as just another mechanism for
people who want to become
more politically active or involved or work on campaigns.''
"To me this is great stuff,"
says Candee of placing CWE
students with local and state
politicans. ''It's exciting for the
students to get what I think

Scott Derickson, a 1989-90
ASLCC senator and the CWE
student who worked on
Roberts' sucessful bid for reelection says, ''It's really a great

way for students to get experience and, of course, in the
realm of politics, students have
that outreach into the community from representing this
school and gain some credibility
for themselves. It's just an excellent opportunity to have
some input.''

Candee says a number of
students have come up to him
and said that because of his
government classes, they've
changed their majors to political
science, and, '' ... that's one of
the biggest thril)s. ''

''I had one student in the

Candee, ''and while I don't

A Ride-Share Program is being developed at LCC.
Aref Bozorgnia, an engineering major and SRC transportation
coordinator for the past four terms, is putting together the program
which would help students, faculty, and staff pool transportation
resources. There is no 'such program operating now at LCC.
"We're in the developmental stage right now," Bozorgnia says,
"but our goal for the future is to build a viable network of interested participants." He adds, "There will be no administrative
costs connected with the Ride-Share Program.''
Sally Meadow, who has worked at LCC for eight years and is the
administrative assistant of Student Activities, is helping Bozorgnia
with his project. "We need people's ideas and input. We need to
know what they want,'' she says. ''We could also use some

Though still in the
preliminary stages, efforts are
under way to fill the soon-to-be
vacant Vice President of Instruction post.
Current Vice President of Instruction Jacquelyn Belcher has
been appointed president of
Minneapolis Community College, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her last day at LCC is
expected to be June 1.
LCC President Jerry Moskus is
preparing to fill the position.
'Tm between the informationgathering stage and the decision

Moskus has consulted with
the Instructional Cabinet, the
College Council, and the Faculty Council for advice for filling
the position. He says there has
been no consensus, except that
the position should not be
permanently filled at this time.
Rather, Moskus expects to appoint someone to fill the postition on an interim basis. He
hopes to make a recommendation to the LCC Board of Education at the Board's next
meeting, June 13.
Moskus says he expects to
decide this weekend (May
19-20) whether a replacement

He has asked campus leaders

He does say however, that
"I'm confident we can find a

Moskus has been approached

The president says the person

says. ''Having been in the post
myself (at Des Moines Area CC,
in Ankeny, Iowa, and Lincoln

Moskus says it will be difficult

members of the faculty recommending that Ellison be considered for the post. History instructor Milt Madden, who was
involved in the circulation of

Few people find satisfaction with smoking section resolution
Commentary by
Michael Omogrosso
Torch Editor

The smoke has yet to settle
over the restriction of smokers
in the cafeteria to an area onethird smaller than they had
before. While this rearrangement was made to pacify the
non-smoker, few people are
satisfied with the outcome.
''We got a petition (with over
600 signatures) against changing the smoking _section _and it

was lost by the administration,''
reports student Beverly Simmons.
Simmons' response was
similar to what many LCC
smokers that the Torch talked to
said. It apparently stemmed
from a misconception that Vice
President of Student Services
Bob Marshall's office, where the
petition was delivered, had lost
the petition.
Paul Colvin, director of Campus Services, says that the petition was not lost and is in the

proper hands, that of the Facility Management Committee.
Simmons further states that
the smoking area is too crowded
now and that even though a
buffer zone was created between the smoking area and the
Deli, the Deli still gets a lot of
smoke drifting its way. She
claims the solution is to install
ventilation fans.
Ventilation is the recommended remedy, agrees student
Larry Jacobs -- himself a smoker

cigarette. ' 'I think it is uncomfortable with all the smoke, and
they really should have vented
the smoke.
''I noticed (the restricted
smoking area) doesn't make
much difference (in the amount
of smoke or where it goes) ...
it's unfair to the non-smoker."
One smoker says it's rude of
the college to put the people
with wares for sale and other
display tables that had occupied
the area between the smoking
and non-smoking sections in
front of the smoking section,
and rude to members of the
public who may wish to look at
or buy from those tables.
Among the smokers, the
issue is by no means cut and
dried.
''I have no problem with the
current situation (both the
crafts and a smaller smoking
section)," says student Normaine Red Bear. ' 'I like the
crafts next to the smoking section. It breaks the monotony of
it being a cafeteria. It livens
things up. ''
Debbie White, one of the
students to bring the petition
before the Facilities Manage-

ment Committee's hearing on
the problem, expressed frustration with the process.
She followed the progress of
the committee, even through
the inclimate snows of winter
term, and says she was confident the committee was to initiate one suggestion that would
have appeased most people -- to
move the smokers to the northwest corner of the cafeteria,
the side where the entertainment normally is set up.
But upon returning after spring break, she and other
smokers felt ignored.
"It's cheaper to get the ventilation fixed. We're being
pushed into the corner -nonsmokers have two-thirds of
the cafeteria. ' '
Colvin says it would cost too
much to install ventilation, and
that while moving the smoking
section was considered an option, it was felt by the committee that moving the smoking
section would allow smoke to
infiltrate an even greater area
than it currently does.
And so the situation remains
slightly constrained, with few
achieving satisfaction.

LCC student racer geared up
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Staff Wn'ter

Engines roar, dust flies: fourteen cars thunder down the
stretch at the Eugene Speedway,
each desperately vying to first
reach the coveted checkered
flag.
In the middle of the pack,
strapped into her '72 Plymouth
Duster, with a 318 engine and
three-speed overdrive transmission, sits LCC student Lisa
Nowak.
Now in her fourth year of
street stock racing, Nowak has
experienced a multitude of setbacks. A lack of funds, a lack of
time, and a lack of moral support are all things that have frequently occured in Nowak's racing career. But for a person who
flunked her driving test four
times, obstacles are meant to be
bounded.
''You just have to decide
you're not going to give up.
Eventually things have got to go
right," she says. ''I'm hoping
it's going to be this season."
Nowak put her hopes to the
test Saturday, May 5, when she

the track rules.
Nowak has in the past done
her own pit work and, as a
graphic arts student, created her
own graphics for her car. She is
only now, in her fourth season,
starting to organize her first pit
crew.
''The hardest thing is when
you really want to win and it
seems like you just don't have
the support,'' comments
Nowak. She says she's experienced a lot of despair when
she doesn't have money to fix
things, or doesn't have the
knowledge, or when she knows
all the other cars on the track
have more money invested in
them, and more power.
She finally came to a conclusion. "I had no control over
whether I won a race. The only
thing I had control of was my
own attitude." That's when she
adopted the motto, 'Never Surrender. ' She decided she was
going to get the car to the track
every week, no matter what.
"It's pretty tough, trying to
put together a racing program
... there's a lot of stress. I have

Lisa Nowak is suited to win.

raced for the first time this
season. She won the trophy
dash in the street stock division,
what she proudly hails the ''first
race of the decade,'' to be won
at the Eugene Speedway.
Nowak says her break into
racing was a spur of the moment
thing. The first time she went
out to the Speedway to watch a
race, it piqued her interest, so
she decided to give it a try. "I
wanted to do it, and I did."
Nowak's decision to start racing brought her to LCC's
automotive program. She used
knowledge acquired there to
build a race car out of a '7 2
Chevelle. But learning to drive
in a race came only after she got
onto the track. All she had initially, she says, was a book with

to rely on sheer stubbornness to
get the job done. And I am
stubborn. 'Never Surrender' is
just a more romantic way of
describing it.''
Nowak says she notices a difference in her driving this year
as compared to last year. She
says last year problems with her
car discouraged her to the point
where she wasn't driving as aggressively as she would have liked. After working on her car all
week, by the time she got to the
track, she says, she was exhausted. "People thought I was
a wimp. They didn't know how
much energy I was putting into
just getting the car to the
track.''
Talking about her first race

this year, which is now behind
her, she says she planned to be
aggressive, with a win-or-die attitude. "If I had to put the car
into the wall . . . I was going to
do it."
Instead of backing out to
avoid a collision in the heat race
when the car in front of her
spun out, Nowak says she ''put
her foot in it.'' Her new confidence helped, she says, at getting through traffic. "I was
amazed at how natural it was.''
' 'I think this first race was a
real turning point for me,'' says
Nowak. She says her confidence
is building. "You can win a
race on a fluke, but confidence
is something it takes a long time
to get.''
Is she scared when she goes
out on the track? ''I'm not
afraid of getting hurt,'' she
says. The safety measures taken
in racing make the possibility of
getting hurt remote. "I do feel
scared, mostly about totalling
my car. ' ' She doesn't have the
money to fix the car if she
wrecks it, she says.
Being a woman on the track,
says Nowak, has both its advantages and disadvantages. She
thought she would get more
sponsors because she was a
female. People in the stands
also tend to feel softer toward
her, she says, and often cheer
for her. For Nowak, who
doesn't have family in the area,
or a lot of interested parties in
the stands at races, this is nice.
She gets whistled at
sometimes, though, which
bothers her. And when she's on
the track, she has to sometimes
tell herself, "I can't let these
guys intimidate me.''
Does she feel defeated when
the chips are down?' 'If you embrace bad luck," she says,
''You' 11 have good luck.''
That's the attitude she's
adopted for dealing with problems that inevitably come up.
She named her team ''Gremlin
Racing,'' and decided to give
her black car with flames on the
front fenders the number 13,
which, she says, has significance
to the audience. It also helps,
she says, if you put on a professional front. ''When you have
the right mentality, it helps you
when things are down."
'' If there is one thing I'd like
to communicate through my
racing, it's that you can do
anything you set your mind
to," says Nowak. "I don't care
if you're disabled, broke, or
whatever. Those things don't
matter if you' re willing to make
the right sacrifices.''
Nowak can be seen racing
every Saturday night at 7 p.m.
at the Eugene Speedway on
West 11th.

Major League predictions, at least until September
by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

Now that the major league
baseball season is nearly onefourth over and the shortened
spring training has filled the
disabled · lists with injured
players, some predictions for
the final outcome of the 1990
season can be safely made.
Barring catastrophic injuries
to key players, the division winners should be Milwaukee and
Oakland in the American
League, and either the New
York Mets or Pittsburgh Pirates,
and the San Diego Padres in the
National League.
• The Brewers' only question
marks are the starting pitching
and how many games will Paul
Molitor miss. Once they get past
Ted Higuera and Chris Bosio,
the rest of the starting staff is
made up of cast-offs and often-

injured veterans.
Molitor has been playing
well, when he is in the line up,
and one major key to the team's
success is keeping him healthy.
With the addition of Dave
Parker, the leadership of last
year's MVP Robin Yount and
Molitor, and the strong relief
pitching from Chuck Crim and
Dan Plesac, the Brewers should
edge out Toronto for the
American League East title.
• The Oakland Athletics are
the team to beat in the AL West
and the W odd Series. This team
has everything; hitting, power,
defense, starting pitching and
The ECK."
With Rickey Henderson and
Carney Lansford setting up RBI
opportunities for Jose Canseco
and Mark McGwire, the A's
have little problem scoring
runs. The upsetting presence of

Henderson on the basepaths
and Canseco' s power to opposing pitchers led the A's to the
W odd Series victory over the
Giants last year.
The closer of closers is the
''ECK,'' Dennis Eckersley. He
walked only three batters last
year and blew only two save opportunities the whole season.
Nobody is hitting him this year
either, so it would seem the A's
will probably once again be
almost invincible with a lead
going into the ninth inning.
• The National League East is
probably the most difficult race
to pick. The Pirates have looked
good early and if they continue
to play at this level they will win
the division with ease.
Having moved Bobby Bonilla
from third base and having a
healthy Andy Van Slyke makes
up two~thirds of one of the best

outfields in baseball. With
Barry Bonds completing this
threesome the Pirates possess
speed, defense and power.
The Mets are unpredictable
to say the least. Next to the
A's, they are the most talented
team in baseball. Their problem
is lack of focus. Darry 1
Strawberry will never be a team
leader, even if he is a tremendous hitter, and lack of leadership is the Mets' most glaring
weakness.

If there was-ever such a thing
as having too much pitching,
the Mets are guilty of it. The
front office seems reluctant to
deal away one of the six talented
starters the Mets have for a
quality catcher and middle
reliever. Until this problem is

Men wzn
3 of 4
by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

The LCC base ball
team won three out of four
games this week to improve
its NWAACC record to
13-10.
In a double-header last
Saturday against LinnBenton CC, the Titans
came back to tie the first
game on Steve Riley's tworun homer in the ninth inning and went on to win the
game in the tenth, 4-3, on
a solo shot by Aaron
Theabolt.
The fortunes of the
Titans changed, however,
as Linn-Benton broke a tie
with five runs in the sixth
inning of the second game
of the twin bill and went on
to beat LCC, 10-7.
On Tuesday, the Titans
went on the road to Clark
College in Vancouver and
swept a double-header by
the scores of 7-3 and 4-2.
In the first game Chris
''Bogie'' Bennett scattered
eight hits over nine innings
as LCC used 11 hits to
defeat host Clark.
Brian Cavaner banged
out four hits and Titan pitching silenced the Clark
hitters for the victory in
game two.
LCC now has an overall
record of 17-15.

Original one-act plays form all-studen t productio n
by Mary Kathleen Browning
Torch Entertainment Editor

"An Evening of New Plays" is the
latest all-student production to come out
of an innovative LCC playwriting program.
Opening in the LCC Blue Door
Theatre May 25, the production introduces three original plays by LCC
playwriting students. The pieces are also
directed and performed by LCC
students.
Theater instructor Jerry Seifert has
developed a two-year series of courses
and workshops focusing on the development of original plays.
This year's original plays are
"Mama," by Bjo Ashwill; "Elevator,"
by Cavalier; and ''Fear of Winter,'' by
Sherry Lady.
"Mama" is directed by Adam David
Johnson and stars Heather Bouher,
Carmen Marie Borge and Amanda Coleman as the voice of the offstage child.
''Elevator'' is directed by Michael D.
Sorensen and stars Steve Braun, Drew
Simpson, Jennifer French, Amanda Coleman and Kevin Harrison.
"Fear of Winter" is directed by
Heather Bouher and stars Garland

Sprick, Denise Gall, Natalie Buck, Peter
Braun and Matt Wier.
In the first year, the classes Seifert offers concentrate on the playwriting craft
and putting together a theatre event; in
the second year, re-writing and preparing a piece for production is the focus.
''The classes are not focused on criticism,
but on the practical craft of it,'' he says,
''Getting the student from (the conception of the idea) to being produced.''
Seifert says the Blue Door is important
because it allows students the opportunity to direct and to see their own plays
produced, a chance they wouldn't
receive in a four-year college until they
reached graduate school. He knows of no
other community college or university in
the country which has a similar program.
He feels it is especially important for
people to realize that student productions aren't second rate. ' 'The word
'student' doesn't mean less. It is a jewel
that we have to offer.''
All shows begin at 8 p.m. in the Blue
Door Theatre. Performances are May 25
and 26, June 1 and 2.
Tickets may be purchased in advance
from the LCC Box Office between noon
and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at
726-2202.

matinee
scheduled

by Mary Kathleen Browning
Torch Entertainment Editor

A Sunday matinee performance has been added to the
run of "Amadeus," LCC's
spring Main Stage production.
Starting at 2 p.m, the extended run is due to the
popularity of the musical
drama and the expected
near-sellout of tickets to the
Friday and Saturday night
performances. A pre-show
storydance will begin at 1 :40
p.m.
The cast and crew are still
excited about their production, according to Performing Arts publicist Myrna
Seifert. "There's a lot of enthusiasm, the momentum is
carrying it along.''
The Friday, May 18 and
Saturday, May 19 performances will begin at 8 p. m.
with a pre-show storydance
starting at 7:30 p.m.
For faculty, staff, and
