Lane Community College September 10, 1990 Eugene, Oregon Vol. 26 No. 1 College fires Flight Tech ·Chair by Devan C. Wilson Torch Editor Editor's note: This is the first installment in a series reviewing the dismissal of Flight Technology Chair Terry Hagberg. LCC is firing the chairman of the Flight Technology Department following an extensive four-month audit of the program. The college fired Terry Hagberg, on Friday, August 10 as Flight Technology chair. In accordance with the LCCM anagem en t employment contract, Hagberg has been reassigned for six months to special project work_ in the Office of Instruction. LCC President Jerry Moskus has named Bob FerrandJr., a 19-yearveteran of the program, to serve as interim department chair. Hagberg says he has been given no clear reasons for his dismissal and claims that there is nothing in the audit which he considers to be damaging. According to Moskus, the investigation began when he was approached by a faculty member notifying him of "serious charges about irregularities in the Flight Tech Program." The charges, Moskus says, came about when people connected to the Flight Tech Department brought information to the faculty union. Moskus adds, though, that the individual who approached him was not acting on behalf of the union. "The charges were serious and I felt the need for a careful audit," Moskus says. The college hired the independent firm of Coopers and Lybrand to conduct the audit. After Coopers and Lybrand's involvement, Moskµs says additional charges surfaced, and he consequently appointed a staff member and retired LCC administrator to investigate further. "They talked to a number of people who are past and present employees of the Flight Tech Program," says Moskus. Moskus says that ' after reviewing the audit and other collected materials, he "determined we needed to make a management change in the program." His action, Moskus says, is consistent with the management working agreement which is approved annually by each of the managers.. "My action relates to a clause in · that agreement which say~ I may reassign somebody and dismiss them if I deem it to be in the best interest of the institution. "The system that we have here at the school and in the state provides for the review of my decisions and I encourage anyone who has a problem with my decisions to follow that process," adds Moskus. Hagberg says he may do just that. "I'm investigation all options including legal options at this time." The publicity to the department could endanger a $1.2 million helicopter training contract between the college and the Japanese firm turn to Flight Tech, page 15 U.S. Consulate denies ASL.CG \iR's ttisa Sione Barrato de Araujo by Mary Browning Torch Associate Editor ~ ASLCC's vice-president has been denied a student visa by the U.S. Consulate in Brazil, barring her return to the U.S. to attend LCC. Edisione (Sione) Barrato de Araujo, a native of Brazil, returned to Brazil this summer, where she applied for a student visa, which would allow her to continue her studies in the U.S. The consulate is "unwilling to discuss the basis of its decision with third parties," including Araujo's lawyer, Portland attorney Philip Hornik. However, after talking with her by phone, Hornik surmises that the consulate denied Araujo a visa because it feels she hasn't shown "sufficient evidence of het intention to leave the U.S. when she completes her studies." Hornik believes that the "evidence submitted is sufficient to show that she will return" to Brazil after completing her studies. Evidence of intention to return to an applicants native country includes: having family ties (such as a spouse or children), employment to return to, or a permanent residence in the native country which the applicant does not intend to abandon. Araujo entered the U.S. on a tourist visa during her last visit. While here, she obtained student status, allowing her to enroll at LCC. She was elected to the position of ASLCC Vice-President during spring term, last school year. Although consulate officials will not discuss Araujo's case with anyone else, they told Hornik that they were willing to consider new evidence concerning her application. The school was first alerted to Araujo's visa problems when Hornik contacted the Admissions Office, requesting copies oftwo articles, profiling Araujo, published in last year's Torch. · The first article, written by staff writer John Unger and published on March 30, 1990, reads, in part, that Araujo plans to return to Bahia(h~rnative state). "She wants to produce documentary films that show how Brazil is influenced by Bahia's rich.culture." Hornik sent excerpts from turn to Visa, page 3 l !¾K~~iiaii.-m Involvement in 'college experience' encouraged by Devan C. Wilson Torch Editor The light was dim. The low ceilings and confining walls kept closing in. I was suffocating. All around I heard the voices of those who expected so much ofme, urging me, pressing me, to find the passageway out, but I was trapped - trapped in a descending, selfmanufactured tunnel of educational burn-out. Beneath my feet the earth began to tremble, crumble, disintegrate into dust. I was falling, downward, a desperate spiral into an empty void. An infinite depth where I would become entrapped, caged, like a wild animal relegated to life in the circus. You see, though I had only just begun, I was f7,unking out of college. Perhaps that description is a bit over-dramatized, but the feeling I'm attempting to create is genuine. Experiencing nothing but failure in the first chapter of my higher educational script proved to be truly devastating. My self-esteem was deeply scarred.

ASLCC is entering into negotiations with the Lane Transit District (LTD) on a student bus pass similar to the University of Oregon. because we are including representatives from the faculty and classified employees in our talks with LTD, and because a proposal ofthis nature must be ratified by students in an election, it will likely be next year ('91'92) before these passes could be available.

One of our goals this year is to strengthen the sense of community on campus. Too often students become isolated, and that isolation hinders their success. It is up to all ofus to create an environment where students feel they belong. If you are a returning student, I hope you will reach out to new students, enabling them to find services and meet new people. If you are a new student, I hope you will make an effort to get to know other students, faculty, and staff; and that you will reach out to others when you need help. We want LCC to be a college where service to others is encouraged and the well- being of each individual is supported. LCC has served many, many students well over its twenty-five years, but none was any more important to us than are you. You are the reason we exist. I hope the 1990-91 academic year is your best ever. Sincerely, Jerry Moskus LCC President Vi sa continued from page 1 the articles to the consulate as evidence that suggests Araujo will depart the U.S. on the completion ofher studies. He is seeking reconsideration of the consulate's decision, based on the evidence in the articles. The excerpts will be reviewed by the consulate as part of the original application. Because of the additional evidence, the review isn't an appeal of the original decision; technically, an appeal means pleading the case to a higher decisionmaking body on the grounds that the lower body's decision was wrong, based on given evidence. Hornik doesn't know when a decision will be reached concerning Araujo's visa application. He told the Torch the appeals process for visa applications outside the U.S. is limited, and Araujo's. chances of returning to the U.S. as a student are slim, if her application is denied. According to the ASLCC Constitution, vacant positions in the Executive Cabinet are filled by the student body president. If Araujo is denied her visa, ASLCC President Michael Omogrosso will need to appoint a new vicepresident, subject to ratification by the Senate. At this point, Omogrosso is waiting to hear the consulate's decision before making any decisions concerning Araujo' s position. • • • Editor's Note: At press time, the Torch was informed by Hornik that the U.S. Consulate in Brazil has denied Araujo's visa application, despite the additional evidence, and refuses to reconsider their decision on this application. The consulate does not believe, based on the evidence provided, that Araujo intends to return to Brazil after completing her studies in the U.S. However, the consulate did informHornik thatAraujo would be alloiped to submit a new application for a student visa. The consular officer would then consider the new application at that time. Hornik said that no decision has been made about their next course of action.

Extensive remodelingresulted in a 4,000 square foot area, which is divided into five classrooms, two offices, and a reception/ lounge area. Within the last two years LCC funded a "face lift" to the buildingto enhance its appearance. The interior has also been refurbished with new carpeting.

Orientations for potential by Bill Porter Director, Florence Campus The Florence Campus first offered classes in 1968 and in 1975 moved into a beautiful new 10,000 square foot western lodge-sty le building on 20 acres of lush coastal forestland next to the high •school in Florence. To a great many Western Lane County residents, the Florence campus has become a beacon of hope, of inspiration, of success and of support. It is somewhat surprising that while the center may truly be an active integral part of many lives and enjoys an enviable position of respect within the community, few people east of the coast range are aware of the role it plays or even that it exists. Even more surprising is that few LCC staff members from Eugene have had the pleasure of visiting the campus. There are certain misconceptions as to its size, role, and mission. In reality, LCC at Florence is a dynamic, thriving "mini-college" offering many of the same services to students as the main college. Staffing includes five full-time persons: .Hill Porter, director; Laura Ory, administrative assistant; Jean Spriggs, business faculty; Pat Shelp, Adult Basic and Secondary Education faculty; and a customer service clerk. The campus has 50 part-time faculty serving some 500 students each term with up to 150 different class offerings. Students may complete their first year of college transferable courses at Florence or achieve an Associates of Applied Science degree in Office Administration. Various certificate programs in business and health -o ccupations are offered plus a wide assortment of career, developmental, cultural and self enrichment classes. The center offers the opportunity for all LCC students to register at all LCC campuses and provides periodic academic and financial aid counseling appointments. A growing need in the community has increased the services of the Adult Basic and Secondary Education programs at Florence, providing General Education Development (GED), English as a Second Language (ESL), education for the handicapped, and General Literacy Program. There are many services provided by the Florence Campus to students and community. Library services are provided to the college by the local public library, which is appreciated by students and faculty alike. Community visitors, tourists, and students will soon enjoy the nature trails and outdoor assembly areas being developed on the campus thanks to a grant from the LCC Foundation, Eldon Schaffer Endowment for Innovation. The Florence Campus Small Business Assistance Center provides services for business and industry, and support for the U.S. Small Business administration's SCORE (Services Corps of Retired Executives)business counseling services. Many local residents contribute to the college's success through participation on the Advisory Board of on special committees. The student is definitely number one priority and the Florence Campus staff are committed to delivering the highest degree of services. Cartooning class to be offered at Downtown Center by Mary Browning Torch Associate Editor If you're a full-time LCC student, you're entitled to a free Continuing Education class. Yawn? You may be surprised to find that the teachers can be almost as interesting as the myriad of classes offered. Paul Ollswang never planned to be an artist. So much for the best laid plans of mice and men. "I never thought to do much with art. I wanted to become a scientist, a biologist," he says. Despite this, his true fate was to follow a far different course. He's listed in the ''Who's Who in American Cartooning," won the "Broadcast Promotion and Marketing Executive's International Gold Medallion Competition" in 1986 for his cartoon "Rock Dog," and teaches cartooning for the LCC Downtown Center's (DTC) Continuing Education program. So much for science. Ollswang, is a cross between ajackof-all-trades and a Renaissance man. He has bachelor's degrees in philosophy and fine arts, and a minor in math and science. His sophisticated comic strips are filled with allusions to classic literature, philosophy, psychology, Latin, Greek, and classical music . He has produced a coloring book, worked as a commercial artist, radio talk show host, cartoonist, teacher, and film star. He had a major movie role once, playing a "very unhappy, East European, garage owner," but the film was never released in theaters. However, it has been shown as a TV late movie. Surprisingly, it was an aversion to violence which prompted Ollswangto develop his artistic talents. Violence first shaped his destiny when he chose to attend the High School of Music and Art in New York (made well-known by the popular movie "Fame") to escape his high school in New York's West Side -the neighborhood depicted in the musical, ''West Side Story." "I'm sure it's really nice," he says about the musical. "I guess a lot of people like the music, butl lived there ... People like myself were constantly being beat up." Ollswang's art gave him the opportunity to escape that violence. After graduation, Ollswang worked to become a scientist. At St. John's College in Annapolis, Md, he earned his degree in Philosophy, with a minor in Math and Science. He came to Eugene in 1966, to work on the graduate degree in biology at the U of O that would fulfill his dream ofbecoming a scientist. Instead, fate stepped in again. "I couldn't stand the math involved with chemistry," says Ollswang. "So I switched for a while to philosophy, and I wrote a very stupid master's thesis, and that was the end of that one." Once again, Ollswang's aversion to violence re-shaped his life. He then joined the art program at the U ofO to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War. "I had to stay out of it. There was no way around it. They killed people over there, and I wasn't up for that." This led a bachelor's of Fine Arts degree. Ollswang's first published cartoon was "George the Mighty Elkhound," featured in the Oregon Daily Emerald, among other publications. Since then, Ollswang's beloved dogs have been a primary feature in his cartooning, and in his successes. In 1977, he published his illustration of a 16th Century poem LCC's Continuing Education tea~her ~aul Ollswang ta~es time out to sp~nd a loving moment with his dog, Rosie. His cartoon novel Dreams of a Dog was published earlier this year. It is available in local bookstores. titled the "Tale of Tom O'Bedlam," and he has produced and published nume,rous other comic books and strips in newspapers, magazines and in numerous promotions and advertisements. But it is his latest book, "Dreams of a Dog," - "A political, philosophical, cartoon novel" - that is his best known comic strip. Published by Rip Off Press earlier this year, the first edition of Ollswang's cartoon novel has sold out, though some copies are still available at Marketplace Books and the Hungry Head Bookstore, in Eugene. ~ Ollswang began to teach cartooning at the DTC Winter Term, 1989. His class is scheduled this term, Mondays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. For more information see page three of the Fall class schedule. Continuing Education offers noncredit courses in art, business, computers, foreign languages, health, music, dance and theater, and much more. (Note: Registration for Continuing Education classes must be done three days before classes begin. The last day to register for Ollswang's class is September 19.) ..J .... s pp.\NTS ,t-rroN o\L ~jS 200/0 0 LL 0r r ~j~ ~h ~ t\1~ E.0 pAO sE.LE.CT~or\\\a o\enl•" 5\01\hrl'IOre ~egon f\ Supply 683-2787 776 East 13th Ave., Eugene r1~111~Ill~'S ~l()lll~!

Whether a student is suffering from a fracture or a sprain, a head injury, cerebral palsy, or is paralyzed, the Correctives Program has an individualistic rehabilitation plan available. Dr. Susan Burch, director of Correctives since its inception in 197 4, gives personal attention to each student who enrolls in the program. strange "I have a relationship with my students," Burch says. "Most of them become my friends." New enrollees in the Correctives Program are given a physical evaluation and their medical histories are reviewed by Dr. Burch. "I have a conference with each student and between us we develop a plan designed to accomplish the goal the student wishes to achieve," explains Dr. Burch. "Some people who have knee injuries, for example, only need enough work to strengthen the leg back to where it was before the injury, while others may want a program designed to get rid of that pot-belly that developed during their inactivity." The class schedule is also designed with the needs of the student as a priority. "I've found that the middle of the day is best," says Dr. Burch. "It's difficult for some of my students to sit all day in class without experiencing discomfort. So, the schedule gives them a needed break between morning and afternoon classes." the Enrollment for correctives classes tends to increase as the school year progresses, says Bob Creed, Physical and Health Education Department chair. "Last year, by Spring Term, we had over 200 students in the program," says Creed. "Enrollment is usually light in the fall, but once word gets around, the numbers increase dramatically." Creed believes the number of students in the program will also increase with the employment downturn in the timber and wood products industry. "We've had an increase in the number of dislocated workers enrolling at LCC," Creed explains. "Some have had work related injuries which have not been treated properly for years. They are referred to Correctives by school counselors for unhealed back injuries and a number of other physical reasons." The Correctives Program also receives students referred from state vocational rehabilitation programs, the McN air House, the Head Injury Program ofOregon, the Oregon Pain Center and other agencies throughout the state. ''The correctives classes are a vital part of our program," says Creed. "I feel we should be advertising more, so that more people can take advantage of what we offer." More will be offered to paralyzed students this year as the result of a generous contribution from a local resident, Jack Jackson. The enabled the donation program to buy a Regys II machine. "What this machine will do," says Dr. Burch, "is allow the completely paralyzed person muscle achieve to development and tone which allows for a healthier and more vital appearance." "This may not seem like an important thing," Dr. Burch explains further, "but a better appearance and outlook helps the self-esteem level of the wheelchair-bound person increase tremendously." The Regys machine also enhances the development of atrophied muscles for the partially paralyzed and injured student. Dr. Burch is optimistic about the upcoming school year . . "Fot-th-0se whose goal it is to walk again, we can offer more help than ever before." by Robert Catalano Torch Sports Editor LCC's Athletic Director welcomes students to "walk-on" to the fields of competition at LCC this year. "Basically," says Bob Foster, also LCC's head baseball coach, "we need athletes for all eight sports we compete in." LCC competes in volleyball, baseball, men's and women's basketball, and men's and women's cross-country and track. Foster says interested students should contact the coach of the sport they wish to try-out for before or during Orientation. "Although volleyball and men's and women's cross-country have already started," Foster says, "athletes are still nE;!eded • to fill out team rosters." "We're not like the University (of Oregon) where we can offer a lot of athletic scholarships, but exceptional athletes that walk-on here have an excellent chance of receiving turn to Walk Ons, page 15 scholarship money." Girl's volleyball begins Sept. 19 P. E. Dept. sees changes for new year Great offers by Robert Catalano Torch Sports Editor Although Physical Education classes are no longer required to receive a transfer degree from LCC, the Health and Physical Education Department does not plan to fade away. "Our department is now geared toward people who want to participate in team or individual sports, and we offer everything from archery to weight-training or karate," says Dave Roof, an LCC P.E. counselor. "There are some degrees (at LCC) which still require a P.E. c~ass, but most do not," Roof says. "Howeve1, we've found that the majority of students will take P.E. classes whether they are required or not." Rooffeels the Health and P. E. Department was "going down the drain" until Bob Creed was named department head in October 1989. "Since then," Roof says, "we have increased activity offerings on campus and more recreational activities such as rafting and flyfishing." Activities will also be Jffered through an exchange program with the University of Oregon for swimming and racquetball activities, for which tr.ere are no facilities available atLCC, and intramural competitions with teams from the U ofO are in the planning stage. The Aerobic Dance Program, which was moved from the Health andP. E. Department to the Performing Ar.'~s Department by former Vice President offr.struction Jackie Belcher, will be returned tr Creed's department this year. "For the two ) ears that aerobic dancing wasn't a part of our department," Creed explains, "we lost part of our P.E. majors on the HP. 48SX alld the HP 28S HP has two ·special offers for getting ahead of the pack when it comes to schoolwork. Health and P.E. Dept. Head Bob Creed i)rogram because we weren't allowed to offer those classes through the P.E. Department." Health and P.E. will also offer classes in folk, square, and social dancing, as well as ballroom dancing. "Adding the Aerobic Dance Program increases the department's budget," says Creed. ''Which allows us to offer more, and , -----different, kinds of classes." The Health and P. E. Departmen'"t-h&s also added a part time athletic trainer and has hired Gary Knapp as the intramural director.

Wilson Torch Editor The college has set Jan. 2, 1991 deadline for filling the vacant vice president of instruction position. Vacated last spring with the resignation of Jaquelyn Belcher, the position has been filled on an interim basis by Jim Ellison, formerly Dean of Weekend College. Belcher resigned her post to accept the presidency ofMinneapolis Community College in Minnesota. As interim vice president, Ellison says his goal is to enhance "collaboration among the instructional branch and other branches ofthe college." He also aims to foster good collaboration among the college's 16 instructional departments. "To make the college grow," he says, "we're going to have those resources." 10-person Vice A President for Instruction Search Committee, with members representing the Faculty Council, Instructional Cabinet, College Council, instructional support staff, and the Associated Students of Lane Community College, will screen all candidates and recommend from three to five for interviews Oct. 22-Nov. 3. A final decision, which must be approved by the LCC Board of Education, is set for Nov. 26-30, with Jan. 2, 1991 tabbed as the "anticipated earliest hiring date." LCC President Jerry Moskus says he would prefer someone with administrative experience in a community college system. He also stresses the importance successful experience in financial management, sayingmanypeopledownplay the financial aspects. "This person has to manage a huge budget," he says. Moskus himself served as vice president for instruction at Lincoln Land CC in Lincoln Ill. from 19711985. Moskus also says the interim VP will not be restricted from applying for the permanent post. Ellison says he will be among the applicants. No cuts in Instruction; new programs established by Devan C. Wilson Torch Editor Despite budgetary woes, no programs were cut from the area of instruction during the summer break In fact, says Interim VP of Instruction Jim Ellison, many new programs and classes have been added. "That's the exciting part," he says. "Being a viable source for education and meeting students needs is what we're all about." Among the new programs the Fall Term is the "Alternative Vision Coordinated Studies Program, developed by four faculty members - Rita Hennessy, philosophy; David Croft, history; Frank Rossini, writing/literature; and Patrick Torelle, acting. The LCC Fall 1990 Class Catalog describes the Program as "a new, interdisciplinary, coordinated studies program; the first ofits kind to be offered at an Oregon community college." Students will earn 15 transferable credits per term or a possible 45 per year. "Moving away from the emphasis on specialization, the program stresses the common themes that connect the disciplines," says the program publicity. Additional offerings making their premiere at LCC include a three-course sequence in alcohol and drug awareness. To be taught by Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator Harvey Bond, the sequence • will consist of"Alcohol: Use, Misuse, and Addiction," during Fall Term; "Drugs: Use, Misuse, and Addiction," Winter Term; and a third, unnamed course focusing on recovery during Spring Term. The first course in the sequence was taught last spring. "I think there's a real demand for this type of program," Bond says. Since his arrival at LCC in the fall of1989, Bond says he has received over 100 unsolicited requests for such a program. Bond will also teach "Understanding Addictive Behavior," also taught for the first time last spring. The course focuses on the underlying process of all addictions, according to Bond., who lists alcohol and drug addiction, as well as over-eating and codependancy as examples of ~ddiction. "I see (the class) as the bridge for those people who know something is wrong and don't know what to do," says Bond. He says the class is also targeted for those interested in a career in drug and/or Sequence in Peace Studies formed The LCC Curriculum Committee has decided to expand a course in peace studies, offered two terms last year, into a three-quarter sequence titled "Peace and Conflict Studies." The course is taught by English instructor Jerome Garger through the Social Science Department. The committee, which Garger says was favorably impressed with the response ofthe students who participated in the "trends course," approved the course this summer. A trends course is offered on a trial basis for one term and may be repeated once, after which time it is reviewed by the curriculum committee as a possible permanent class offering, or for elimination. Garger says he was forced to turn away students who wanted to be in the trends course fall and winter terms, and he had three times as many possible guest speakers as class time allowed. "Basically, it's just a subject and a course of study whose time has come," says Garger. He conducted an extensive survey of the trends course students to determine the interest in, and need for, a threeterm sequence in p'eace studies. He says that a vast majority of the students who responded said that more time was needed to study the content in depth. The three classes in the sequence are: PS 211- Peace and Conflict Studies: International (Fall); PS 212 - Peace and Conflict Studies: National (Winter); PS 213 - Peace and Conflict Studies: Local (Spring). Students who received credit for the trends course, SS199, will receive credit for the first class in the sequence (PS 211). The courses do not need to be taken in sequence. The three classes will transfer as Social Science transfer elective credits to the University of Oregon and other universities. This term, the course is offered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday-at l -p.m. in App. 214. alcohol recovery, nursing, and other mental health settings. Other programs debuting at LCC are "College Success Class," and "Crossroads." "College Success Class" is for those with doubts about their ability to succeed in college. The course is offered in two-day, one week, or full term sessions. "Crossroads" is for students returning to college, or those searching for career direction. Two highly successful LCC classes - "Life Transitions" and "Career Planning" -are combined in this full term course. Ellison also points to additions in vocational education. The Mechanics Department has upgraded its Computer Aided Manufacturing Lab by adding 3-dimensional computer-aided manufacturing capability. "We're always looking to upgrade hardware," says Ellison. The Math Department is seeing an upgrade in hardware. In response to student demands, the Math Department will offer several classes which employ graphing calculators - calculators that graph math equations on a screen. rJOIN THE ~90-91 Tf)R@lf!

However, Moskus says he has had several meetings with Kawadarepresentatives, and foresees no problems in maintaining relations with the firm. In a Aug 11. RegisterGuard report, Jerry Coldeen, who has served for 20 years on the college's Flight Tech Advisory Committee, said that the audit found neither wrongdoing by Hagberg nor deficiencies in department bookkeeping. However, Moskus claims that members of the advisory committee have not seen the audit. Moskus had refused to release the audit, citing a possible lawsuit by agberg, and also because of the need to maintain personal privacy records. However, The Register-Guard received from an "independent source" portions of the audit along with Hagberg's written response. The submitted portions allegedly documented instances where Flight 'l'echnology students haq flown in aircraft not : :I certified as airworthy; some faculty teaching assignments for which they were not certified; and that the department had leased helicopter equipment from a firm owned by Flight Tech instructor Ron Gustafson and Hideo Ono, a local representative of Kawada Industries, and a second firm owned solely by Gustafson. Gustafson told the R-G that his firm's bids were in accordance with LCC policy and approved the the Board of Education. The released portions ofthe audit also alleged instances of staff intimidation and student favoritism. Editors note: the next installment will focus on department morale.
