Marshall says with many sections of classes

became particularly acute.
It's frustrating for an instructor to have

Adds Waddell: "We see this as a positive
change to allow faculty to manage classes."
Students who did not attend at least 50
percent of class meetings during the first
week of the term have been dropped from

approved Administrative Withdrawal Policy
Procedure.

Editor's Note: this is the second
installment in a series reviewing
the dismissal ofFlight Technology
Chair Terry Hagberg.
Terry Hagberg, who was
fired last month as chair of the
Flight Technology Department, has filed a grievance
against the college challenging
his dismissal.
The grievance is subject to
review by the LCC Board of
Education. If the Board rules
against his grievance, Hagberg
has said he will consider legal
action to settle the dispute.
Hagberg was fired on
August 10 by LCC President
Jerry Moskus following an
extensive four-month audit of
the program which alleges
instances of staff intimidation
and student favoritism, and of
some students flying in aircraft
not certified as airworthy.
Hagberg says he has been
given no clear reason as to why
he has been fired. Moskus says
he made the decision in the
best interests of the institution.
Hagberg' s dismissal has
caused concern over the
Terry Hagberg
direction of the program by
people affiliated with the
department. At the Sept. 12
meeting of the LCC Board of
Education, members of the
LCC Flight Tech Advisory
Committee addressed the
Board with concerns over the
future of the program.
In a statement read by 20year committee member Jerry
Coldeen, thecommitteestated,

Administrative drop
policy reviewed
t...
With LCC facing record enrollment this fall, administrators
are scrambling in an effort to make classes available to as many
students as possible.
The recently adopted Administrative Withdrawal Policy
Procedure is a positive step in meeting the needs of these
students. In addition to addressing financial aid regulations, this
policy aids faculty in freeing-up space in classes for students.
The policy decrees that students who attend less than 50
percent of the first week's classes in a course are to be
"administratively dropped" from thatclassroster,and students
on "waiting lists" are given access to the absentee's space on the
roster.
Due to the record influx of students, many sections of core
classes for transfer students were completely closed before new
students even began to enroll.
The policy diminishes the prospect of classes "filled to
capacity" on computer rosters, with the actual classroom roster
half-vacant. With more accurate classroom rosters the college
won't lose valuable federal and state funding, and students
should be pleased with better access to their core classes.
The college has made an effort to facilitate the transition to the
new policy. Because the administration established the policy
after the publication of the Fall Class Schedule, no information
on the policy was included in the schedule. The administration,
aware that many students have not been adequately informed,
is ~aking every possible action to inform students of the change.
The policy seems to be an ideal solution to a number of
problems. But the ball in this game was dropped while it was still
in the planning stage.
The action may be consistent with President Jerry Moskus'
and LCC's commitment to student needs, but not with their
efforts to increase shared governance.
An 11-member committee, made up of faculty, staff, and
administrators, excluded any student from a decision-making
process which affect5 all students.
So where were the students when the 11-member committee
decided to take this situation in hand and create a policy which
would affect every student attending LCC this fall, and in the
future?
Financial Aid Director Linda Waddell says students were
conferred with during the preliminary planning of the policy.
Still students were for whatever reason omitted from the final
decision process. Student leaders such as ASLCC President
MichaelOmogrossowereoncampusandavailableforinclusion
in the final decision, but the committee didn't see fit to include
them.
Admittedly, the new policy will save the college money, will
open more classes to students clamoring for the limited number
of classes available, and the higher enrollment may ultimately
mean more state funding for the college, but in an effort to
include the employees in administrative decision-making, shared
governance with LCC's students went out the window.

A simple test of blind faith
b! Robert Catalano
Torch Editorial Staff
This past Monday, my
Biology instructor gave the
class a
questionnaire
concerning environmental
issues. I discovered, for the
umpteenth time in my lifeJ that
I didn't know as much as I
thought I did about a subject I
thought I knew.
. Being the 37-year-old, setin-my-ways expert that I am,
my first reaction was to argue
my wrong answers. As usual,
when the weight of facts blows
out the air in my righteously
indignant balloon, I accepted
the correct answers, albeit
grudgingly.
I'm sure that every member
of the human race has
encountered this sort of
deflating experience once or
twice during a lifetime, yet
even when confronted by fact,
many people remain unshaken
in their faith of what has proved
to be a wrong answer.
Here is a short quiz to prove
my point.
1) Most scientific experts
believe that overpopulation is
a major
environmental
concern for the world. To
alleviate this problem we
should:
a. Abstain from sex
b. Use responsible and
effective birth control
c. Have the "super-
powers" nuke the Third World:
- d. Have as many babies as
possible and hope thatGod will
intervene before we all starve
to death
2) Alcohol and drug abuse
are serious problems in our
society. How should this
problem be dealt with in a
humane and responsible way?
a. Abstainfromalcoholand
drugs
b. Educate people to the
dangers of alcohol and drugs
and set up more treatment
centers for those who seek help
for their addiction
c. Throw all drunk drivers,
recreational drug users and
addicts in jail and throw away
the key
d. Ignore the problem, and
it will eventually go away
3) The Savings and Loan
crisis threatens to create havoc
with the American economy
and burden taxpayers for years
to come. What can be done to
prevent this in the future?
a. Abstain from investing
b. Prosecute those who
defrauded the public and ban
their future participation in the
banking industry if they are
found guilty
c. Keep federal regulators
from being so overzealous
d. Trust our Congressmen
tolookoutforthe best interests
of the public
4) Lane
Community
College has been facing
financial problems which has
prevented a number of
students from enrolling for the
classes and times they desired.
As a student, what can you
do to alleviate the problem?
a. Abstain from education
b. Encourage friends and
other students to vote for the
LCC opera ting levy in
November
c. Use the resources to their
maximum and let someone else
pay the taxes needed to fund
education
d. Hope and praythatabout
fifty other citizens will
contribute $1.2 million to the
LCC foundation
That was easy, wasn't it. If
you answered "a" on all of the
questions, your head is
definitely in the sand and the
wavesofapathyhavelongago
washed you out to sea.
If you answered "b", your
future is bright, your mind is
open and you can accept
evidence once it is presented to
you.
If you answered "c", you
probably know these answers
are correct and need no further
discussion to prove your
correctness, or your name is
Mobley and you are running
.for governor.
If you answered "d", your
faith is admirable and I hope
for your sake that the religious
entity you believe in truly
exists.

Despite these early doubts,
he says he has enjoyed his terms·
on the board. He sees a number
of positive things about the
LCC board. For instance, the
efforts of the board to meet
what Pitney sees as the
challenge of every community
college: to offer lifelong
teaching and learning.
Another strength, according
to Pitney, is that the board is
composed of not only
businessmen, but educators,
students, and farmers as well.
There have been difficult
times for the board, however.
Torch Associate Editor
LCC Board of Education
Chairman Jim Pitney doesn't
quite agree with LCC' s
publicity slogan "LCC - Part
of the Solution." He says LCC
is the solution.
Pitney brings 16 years of
experience to the LCC' s 199091 Board of Education. Sixteen
years of meetings, deci~ions,
tax measures, elections, four
different college presidents,
and now he sits on the board in
his third term as Chair.
"The job (of board member)
is as big as you want to make
it," says Pitney. And after his
lengthy tenure, this job has
become very big in Pitney's life.
He attends an average of two
to three meetings a month;
travels to conferences
throughout the state and
country; and campaigns for
college-oriented election
measures.
LCC Board of Education Chair Jim Pitney
Over the years, says Pitney,
the role of the board member
has expanded. Now - in
addition to having time,
interest, knowledge, and the
respect of the community the "new" breed of board
member must be articulate, as.
well.
Pitney says that when he

years ago, he was going to say

Counsel·or 3ddtes,ses·· afl aspects of addiction
by Kelley Egre
Torch Staff Writer
He doesn't judge the people who come to see him.
He doesn't tell them what
they should do to recover.
And he doesn't give them
answers.
Instead, Harvey Bond,
recovering drug and alcohol
addict and now one year
veteran of the LCC staff,
gives students and staff the
opportunity to learn about
the effects of chemical
dependency on an individual's life -- with a little
education and support.
He says he's not a miracle
worker or a doctor, but
rather a caring person who
enjoys helping others like
himself.
Last year alone he counseled 311 students during 505
sessions. Bond was accountable for many tasks as LCC
Substance Abuse Prevention
Coordinator and ASLCC
Health Educator. Included in
his duties are staff and student dependancy counseling, teaching drug addiction
classes, speaking to LCC
classes, and running daily
and weekly support groups.
"It has taken 25 years for
(LCC) to hire a drug and
alcohol coordinator,'' says
Bond. '' And I think (the year
was) very successful."
He says his idea of the program's success may differ
with those who can't relate
to the painful disease of addiction. He says success can
be measured in the beginning only by the improvements and progress the
program makes, not by the

has

in
him/herself, he or she is able
to take even more steps on
the road to recovery.
'' Any addiction is simply
an indication of one's thirst
for deeper meaning and
wholeness," he states. "It is
not something to be judged -it is something to be learned
from.''
He says that it is impossible to grow if one is being
judged. For this reason Bond
also leaves a lot of his time
open to co-dependents,
those who may not be addicts but who are living in
the shadow of people who
are.
To those who aren't suffering with the disease, addiction doesn't make a lot of
sense. They may feel
powerless themselves.
''It is very hard for someone who doesn't have a
problem to understand. "
Because of this fact, Bond

and support of these individuals so they are able to
cope and provide support,
not judgement.
Bond admits that he has
made a difference at LCC by
just being a part of the program. He feels that his own
personal addiction and its
comparison to the work he
does in his career is just the
silver lining because it
enables him to relate to those
he counsels. When asked if
he sometimes gets too emotionally involved in a certain
case he says that he finds a
lot of himself in almost
everybody, which gives him
a certain amount of detachment. He does find himself
visiting a few hospitalized individuals early on during
recovery though, which gives
those around him an idea of
just how much he really
cares.

sickness.
Bond asserts that the program js not on this campus to
say that drugs and alcohol
are bad, or to tell those who
are affected by them what to
do. Rather, he says drug addiction is physical, emotional, psychological and
spiritual as well.
''I don't try to convince
people they are alcoholics.
Their own evaluation is what
truly matters," Bond states.
In turn, . he focuses on
educating students and staff
about the effects of
dependancy on them or on
those who live around
dependancy. And he offers
them friendly support · and
assessment.
"As most beginning
counselors, I thought I had
the power to keep anybody
or get anybody sober," Bond
says. In reality he knows that
this is impossible and he
understands that he wasn't
hired to accomplish this task.
'' After one year, I have
learned to plant good seeds.
After that, what (the individuals) do with these
seeds is not in my domain,''
said Bond .
Most of the individuals
who seek Bond's assistance
are experiencing symptoms
at the beginning of the
disease, starting with a feeling
of
immense
powerlessness. First, in an
attempt to aict the person in
understanding and reaching
out for help, Bond encourages people to look at
themselves.
Then, he relates his own
recovery, and lets them respond as they see fit, thus
allowing them the opportunity to understand their
own problem.
"To recover, one must attain a great deal of inner

ASLCC aims for bus pass

Eugene's 'Near Misses'
Participating in the 1990 Eugene Celebration Parade were Eugene's "Near Misses:" Miss Rohr
Industries, Miss Downtown Mall, and Miss Pankow Building. Not pictured here is Miss Nuclear
Free Zone. Accompanying the "Near Misses" was a marching troup of local residents sporting
masks of Eugene Mayor Jeff Miller.
ASLCC's Sept. 24 Senate meeting focused primarily on
negotiations with Lane Transit District (LTD).
Affirming the need to maintain relations with LTD, the Senate
approved payment of last year's $3,450 debt with the agencyASLCC' s share of a long-standing reduced fare bus pass program
that continued in 1989-90.
TheSenateapprovedtherenew aloftheASLCC-LTDcontrac t
for this year, which decrees that students receive a $4 reduction
of the $46 term pass.
ASLCC President Michael Omogrosso said that a committee
to be developed of students, faculty, classified employees, and
staff will work on a student transportation plan with LTD,
similar to the system in place at the U of 0.
U of O students pay $4.75 extra per term in their incidental
fees in order to make unlimited bus travel available to all
university students. Omogrosso said that the cost for LCC
students would likely be higher, and that raising fees this year
would require a special election.
In other business, ASLCC agreed to rejoin the Community
Colleges of Oregon Student Association and Commissions
(CCOSAC), which works tofacilitateexchangeof ideas between
community college student organizations and increase support
for community colleges from the State Board of Education.
ASLCC had _discontinued their affiliation with CCOSAC last
winter. The Senate set a limit of $550 for CCOSAC dues, however.
Also discussed was the recent hiring of a child-care coordinator
by the college, to be responsible for identifying child-care needs
on campus, determining services available in the community,
and then presenting options for the student government to
consider.
Omogrosso'sappointmentofStudentResourceDirectorSherie

also ratified.
ASLCC will meet Monday, Oct. 1 at 4 p.m. in the Board of

Senate ratifieS"; lnteHrn 'Vice:~Pre:sident f6r Fall term
by Mary Browning
Torch Associate Editor
The ASLCC Senate ratified President
Michael Omogrosso' s decision to name
student Maya Thomas as interim VicePresident. The interim was named in
the absence of Vice-President Sione
Barrato de Araujo, a Brazilian native,
who has been unable to obtain a visa to
return to the United States.
Omogrosso says he made the
decision after discussing the idea with
ASLCC members and other students.
According to Omogrosso, Thomas
had been approved to fill the interim
positionfortwoweeks, whiletheSenate
waits for the determination of.the U.S.
ConsulateinRiodeJaneiroon Araujo's
visa.
Thomas, who interviewed for the
position
of
Communications
Director,says that she has been
interested in student government for
some time, and would have run for an
ASLCC position last spring, but "the
timing was wrong for it to happen."
"I am happy about ( the
appointment)," she says. "It's a challenge
that I embrace ... but I can feel for Si one
right now."
According to unconfirmed sources,
Araujo, whose first application for a
student visa was denied by the U.S.
consulate in Brazil (as reported in the
Sept. 10 issue of the Torch), learned
since Thomas' appointment that her
second application has been refused.
Thomas will now fill the vice-
presidential position until the end of
fall term.
Omogrosso said that he was "waiting
until the decision came down" before
deciding whether or not to take action
to persuade the consular to rethink the
determination. As yet he has made no
decision.
At the start of winter term,
Omogrosso will decide whether to
name a new vice-president, who would
also need to be ratified by the Senate.

Enrollment
pontinued from page 1
more than last fall's enrollment.
Part-time students totalled
3,415- up by 525.
The first classes to fill up
were in the math department
(which is offering 116 sections
- eight fewer sections than
last fall, according to the
college's registration analysis),
and the science department
(offering 72 sections, eight
more than last September).
Writing 121 - required in
nearly all degree and transfer
programs-also filled quickly,
posing problems for scores of
students. Jack Powell,
chairman of English, Foreign
Language, and Speech/
Communications stresses,
"Our primary goal is to meet
"VLeare concerned

Jerry Moskus
the needs of returning students.
We had anticipated having
more students this fall, and
added five more sections of
Writing 121 this year over last
fall. We also plan to add more
121 and 122 classes in the winter
to meet the needs of these
(returning) students."
Says LCC President Jerry
Moskus, "We are concerned
about meeting the needs of all
the students wanting an
education. We are an 'open
door institution.' " In order to
try to better meet the needs,
Moskus says the school will
attempt to "scrape up" the
money to hire more part-time
instructors.
In addition to the unusually
high enrollment, students were
registering earlier this year for
fear of facing closed sections,
according to Bob Marshall, vice
president of Student Services.
This, in result, closed sections
much earlier than in previous
years. Moskus attributes some
of the unusually high
enrollment to the crippled
timber industry. And, he said,
"People are realizing more and
more that college graduates
earn a significantly higher
lifetime income than those with
just a high school diploma."

Drug abuse: Broken dreams, shattered careers
by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor
On September 20, 1990, the
National Football League
banned Detroit Lions player
Terry Taylor for life as a result
of a violation of the league's
substance abuse policy.
Although Taylor may apply
for reinstatement after one
year,itaddsanotherchapterto
the sad story of an athlete's
dream of a professional career
being shattered by the
•nightmare of drug and alcohol
abuse.
The question that comes to
my mind is why would a
person at the top of his
vocation, living a lifelong
dream and making more
money in one year than I could
in 20, risk everything they have
accomplished just for the sake
of getting high?
To find the answer, I called
the administrative offices of
both the Seattle Mariners and
Seahawks professional sports
franchises asking to speak with
the person in charge of the
teams' substance abuse
programs.
The only person I was able
to speak with at the Seahawk
front office was a secretary who
refused to be quoted but
willingly offered her gut
reaction to the Taylor
banishment.
''Being a person who doesn't
drink or smoke, I don't
understand ... "
(Incidentally, Terry Taylor
played a number of years with
the Seahawks before signing
with the Lions.)
My call to the Mariner front
office was met with a much
different response. They
immediately put me in touch
with Gary Mack, the man in
charge of dealing with
substance abuse problems
within the organization.
Mack's company, "Sportsassist", is contracted by the
Mariners, and a number of
other professional sports
franchises, to provide players
with psychological as well as
substance abuse problems
which may arise as a
consequence of being a
professional athlete.
I asked my question, and
although Mack was speaking
to me long-distance from his
office in Scottsdale, AZ., I could
see his head shake in
wonderment at the simplistic
naivete of my inquiry,
"First of all," Mack said,
"Professional sports does not
have a significantly higher
incidence of drug abuse from
that of the general public. You
only hear about it more often
because pro athletes are in the
media limelight and their Ii ves
are more closely examined."
"Secondly," Mack explained
further, "athletes lead very
different lives on the field than
they do off the field. Too many
times in the past, the teams
either did little or did not
concern themselves with the
problems associated with
inactivity during the off-season
or the adjustment of
retirement."
Mack says the recent
problems of New York Mets
players Doc Gooden and
DarrylStrawberryillustratethe
point.
"Doc went back to his old
neighborhood (a ghetto in
and
Florida)
Tampa,
encountered a situation where
drug abuse is the primary form
of recreation. It's hard to say
no to old friends."
Strawberry's difficulties
involved marital problems
which he was unable to deal
with and the situation was
exacerbated by heavy drinking
which led to violent behavior
and attacks on his wife.
"The key to preventing the
players from having their Jives
self-destruct is not dealing only
with the symptom of their
problem (substance abuse), but
to also work on the prevention
of the disease," explains Mack.
"We teach stress-management
skills, imagery focus, and a
number of other mental
techniques to relieve the
pressures a professional athlete
faces."
Mack regrets that this type
of program is an exception
rather than the rule throughout
professional sports.
"We' re rather proud of what
we've accomplished in the
three years since we began
working with the Mariner
organization. Lastyear,notone
player turned up positive
during testing. I only wish that
other teams would follow the
Mariners' example."
Substance abuse is seldom
the result of a player trying to
performance,
enhance
explained Mack.
"Doc Ellis (a Pittsburgh
Pirate pitcher in the 1970s)
claimed he pitched a no-hitter
while on LSD but I find that
hard to believe. The use of
drugs may make a short term
impact on a player's
performance but in the long
run, it can only hurt."
According to Mack,
although alcohol is the
predominant drug of choice
among pro athletes, itis not the
most dangerous.
"By far and above any other
drug, "crack" cocaine is the
most destructive. At least, with
alcohol abuse, the success rate
forrecoveryisfairlygood. With
cocaine it is only about three
percent."
Feelingself,hastised for my
lack of knowledge and
sensitivity about this subject, I
thanked Gary Mack for his time
and information and put down
the receiver. An hour later, a
statement Mack made during
the interview was repeating
itself in my mind.
"Some athletes can never
give up the dream of reaching
the Major Leagues. Other's
can't live with it."

the Titans took the early lead

of the final game, it appeared
that the Titans were in a good
position to tie the match at two
~ames apiece.
However, the Chiefs took
advantage of defensive lapses
by the Titans and scored 12 of
the next 14 points to take a
commanding lead in game four
on their way to a 15-12 win.
In earlier matches the Titans

Last Saturday, the Titans were

15-10, 8-15, 15-13, 9-15, and 158. The loss to Chemeketa on
Wednesday dropped LCC's
league record to 0-4. .
Lisa Youngman, LCC's
Volleyball Coach, said the
rocky start experienced by the
Titans is a result of making too
many mistakes in the service
part of the game.
"We've made twice the
unforced errors as the other
teams we've played," Youngman explains. "Once we get
past making service errors and
start doing a better job of
returning our opponents
serves, we should be able to
win some games."
Youngman also says that her
players need to worry less
about making mistakes.
"They'll start winning when
they learn to relax and have
fun playing volleyball," she
says. "When they concentrate
too much on making mistakes,
they become cautious with
their hits while trying to make
a kill."
"This week we' re going to
work on team fundamentals
rather than focus on the
Youngman
individual."
explains. "When they learn to
play together as a team,
correcting mistakes will
happen naturally."

KLCC launches new radio station
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Entertainment Editor
KLCC, a local radio station
affiliated with LCC, launched
its new satellite station, KLCO
90.5 in Newport on Tuesday,
Sept. 18. Broadcasting from

The new station was made
possible by a series of grants
and donations. National

project, which comprised 75%
of the needed funds.
The Jackson Foundation,
which provides funds for

and the advance of public
welfare, granted $10,000 to the
project. KLCC also received a

Theater Instructor Jerry Seifert.
The play, written by William
Inge, has won both the Pulitzer
Prize and the Drama Critics
award. It is publicized as a
summer romance, "tender,
magnetic, exciting, and
funny." It shows how the
presence of one man reveals
the seething, secret feelings
beneath the calm exteriors of a
group of small town, mid west
women.
"Picnic" will be performed

Dec.1 at 8 p.m.
Ten characters will be cast,
ranging in age from 14 to 60.
Persons interested in
auditioning should bring a
resume of theater experience
and a one to two minute
contemporary monologue.
"I've always wanted todoa
romantic comedy," says
Seifert, who is looking forward
todirectingtheplay. 'Weneed
a little romance in our world."

Senator plans improvements for disabled
by Megan Guske
Torch Staff Writer
In the beginning of her
college career, Tyra Ward
studied the fundamentals of
a good card game.
She smiles a little as she
remembers. "I didn't go to
class," she says. "I just played
cards."
But six years have passed
and Ward has seen a lot of
changes in her life.
Consequently, she has
decided to lay down the cards,
and will give a hand in helping
LCC students as an ASLCC
Senator.
Elected in last Spring's
ASLCC election, Ward says,
"I didn't know anything about
beingasenator.It'sjustsomething you learn."
Two years ago Ward was
in an automobile accident that
left her in a coma. Five weeks
later she regained conscious-
disabled students.
"I will work to offer
information about disabled
people," says Ward. "I used to
love to tell people that I was
brain damaged, because
people have it in their minds
that you can't hear right or
you talk slower." While in the
Senate, she hopes to get access
to two more wheelchairs for
Disabled Awareness Week.
Ward is also alert to the
smokingissue in the cafeteria.
Last year the smoking section
was reduced because of
problems with smoke drifting
