In addition to the state gubernatorial election and other state and local measures, LCC has a tax base measure on the ballot. Vol. 26 No.3 photo by Deborah Pickett Student Jason Toribio takes to the air to haul in a frisbee in Bristow Square. The LCC Flight Technology Department's contract with the Kawada Industries may bein jeopardy asa result of the college's firing of Flight Tech Chair Terry Hagberg. The Japanese firm contracts with the department for training of Japanese students as helicopter pilots. Last year's Flight Tech budget totaled $2.2 million, with Ka wad a supp1ying $1 million of those funds, according to LCC' s Administrative Services Office. The projected departmental budget for this year is $2.5 million. TommyNaritomi,Kawada'sg eneralmanagerinCostaMesa , Calif., said on Oct. 3 that Kawada officials are concerned over recent administrative changes in the program. Bob Ferrand, a flight instructor in the department since 1971, is currently serving as interim department chair. "If that change affects the quality of the program... We can't deal with that," Naritomi says. In a Sept. 19 Register-Guard report, Naritomi says Kawada officials worked extremely well with Hagberg. Ferrand, he said, "does not have enough experience, knowledge and support fromthepeopleworkinginthedepartment."OnOct.3Naritomi said he would stand by that statement. Kawada, Naritomi says, has been given no clear indication as to why the departmental changes have occurred. "It's difficult to really understand what's going on," he says. "It's a disturbing problem for us." Among Kawada's concerns, Naritomi says, is a reduction in hours of student air time. Under Ferrand's direction, students' flight hours have been reduced to five prescribed times on Monday through Saturday. Under Hagberg's administration students were allowed to fly under an instructor's supervision seven days a week, from early morning to evening during finals and vacation weeks. Ferrand, however, says that student flight hours have not been reduced. The five prescribed flight sessions are 90 minutes in length, allowing for seven and a half hours of flight time a day. "That's a very full schedule," he maintains. Federal regulations, Ferrand adds,dictate that flight instructors spend no more than 8 hours a day in the air for instruction. Turn to Kawada, page 10 Land developer requests college's support by Devan C. Wilson Torch Editor A Jefferson, Ore. developer has submitted a request to the college for a letter of support for his plan to build 300 units of low-cost housing on the land adjacent to the east side of the college. The developer, Sam Sarich, is seeking to avoid re-zoning of the propertybyrequestingthatLC Csubmit a statement to Lane County declaring a nessecity for low-cost student housing. "Apparantly there's a state statute that allows schools to put school facilities on any property," says Campus Services Director Paul Colvin. Colvin speculates that Sarich hopes to qualify for the exception to normal zoning rules and thereby avoid a request to the county to rezone the land to permit building a housing unit. The college, however, is at this point unwilling to term the proposed developement as "essential to the college operation." "Right now, that property is zoned for agriculture use only," says Colvin. A sample statement of support was submitted to LCC for approval by Land Planning Consultants, a EugeneSpringfield based land use consultation firm, on behalf of Sarich. With the sample statement, which termed the need for low-cost student housing as "essential," came the instruction, "modify as nessecary." The issue has been discussed in the College Council, which has agreed that LCC can not term the need •"essential." Colvin says concern exists over the potential to actually build "low-cost" housing. He says the college has been studying thesubjectoflow-cost housing through numerous discussions with Lane County Housing Authority and the Salvation Army. Based on these discussions the college is wary as to whetherSarich could truly build "lowcost" housing. "What it comes down to is, it's very difficult to build low-cost housing of anysortwithoutsubsidy," Colvin says. Colvin says the college is also concernedabouttheintentof the statute concerning building school facilities on any property not zoned for developement. "The probable intent (of the statute) is to allow school districts to build schools on farmland in rural areas," says Colvin. Additionally, if college approval were to be granted, the college would . then have no control over the developement beyond that point, acording to Colvin. Interstate 5 Proposed site i.ne Co111â– u11.IIIJ Colle,e , -€,di tc t-iA-t Get behind LCC tax base With LCC experiencing an all-time high instudentenrollment, and with more and more dislocated workers requiring training for the changing local job market, Lane County needs a strong community college more than ever. LCCisan integral part of the localcommunity'seconomicfoundation. Thecollegeisa necessity for thousands of students who rely on the first rate training received here. These same students now have the chance to insure the quality education they came to LCC for. But the real question here is whether students will actually take the initiative and meet the challenge. Most students feel that, as an indivi_d uals, there is nothing they can do to help the college. Not so. With a little time and effort from each student, LCC can pass its first tax measure in 10 years, which calls for a slight increase in property taxes. For the owner of an $80,000 home, the proposed increase will amount to about the equivalent on one cup of coffee per day. The college, a public institution, cannot actively campaign to pass the $3.75 million tax base request. But with the help of the students and the LCC Advocates (a group of LCC supporters), the task can be accomplished. There are four ways to take action and help to insure passing the measure, each with only a minimum time commitment. 1) Register to vote Students can register on campus at three locations in the Center Building foyer: at the photo ID table, at the Student Services desk, and at the OSPIRG office. The deadline for registration is Tuesday, Oct. 16. If the faculty, staff, and credit students at LCC - over 9,600 people - register and vote, the measure wi11 almost certainly pass. 2) Canvassing The LCC Advocates group has organized a canvassing event for Saturday, Oct. 27. between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. With the help of volunteers, the Advocates plan to distribute literature on the doorsteps of 10,000 Lane County homes. In just two hours students can help reach almost as many people as it would take to win the election. 3) Phone Bank Every week night between Oct. 29 and Nov. 2, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., 20 volunteers (100 total) will make phone calls to registered voters, reminding them to take part in the Nov. 6 election. Therearenopushysales tactics, just a few simple phone calls. 4) Write letters As students, we have the power to convince the public that LCC is a valuable resource, worth their hard-earned tax dollars. Remind voters that they support you when they support LCC. Local newspapers (like the Register Guard, the Springfield News, etc. welcome letters from readers. Make yourself heard and read. Contact an ASLCC representative in Center 479 or call ext. 2330, if you are interested in volunteering. It won' t be difficult to give LCC a brighter future. Make the commitment and give the college back some of what it has given us. With staff cutbacks, fewer class offerings, and cut services in the offing when $2.7 million are trimmed from the college budget if the measure fails, the consequences are too grim to consider.

Although recycling rates have increased steadily, they have not kept pace with the ever increasing amounts of wasteful, non- recyclable packaging. Measure 6, the recyclingand waste-reduction initiative, will reverse the trend. Measure 6 will shift accountability and cost of wasteful packaging from the consumer and taxpayer to the manufacturer where it belongs; that is why such a vigorous"Sky is Falling" campaign is being waged by packaging special interest groups and easily "influenced" political allies. Measure 6 is thoughtful and ,;~,t,'@'©%w ::;w;; ,;; ~,;;;;: ;::;;;,~:;,~;;..;;,;; well-crafted. It exempts " hardship" cases and is gradual in implementation. The recycling rates demanded by measure 6 are no more excessive than ones in effect in Seattle. Many of the special interest groups that fought Portland's successful Styrofoam reduction law are fighting measure 6. On a recent flight from Portland's airport, two things occured to me: The Portland streets were free of Styrofoam litter and the sky had not fallen. Leslie Weinstein Time to change? To the Editor, In the firs tissue of this years Torch President Jerry Moskus states, "It is up to all of us to create an environment where they belong." Inaddition,acornmentfrom Devan Wilson's editorial was, "the cafeteria serves as a meeting place for many, yet students isolate themselves within small groups and little interaction between these students ever takes place." I was as tu dent at LCC in the early 70' s. At that time the tables were very long, and students could sit anywhere without feeling they were intruding on anyone. Many friendships were formed while enjoying a cheeseburger and some conversation! Recently, with a record high enrollment, it has become difficult to find seating in the cafeteria. It can be intimidating to sit down at such a small table with a stranger. Many days there are only one or two people seated at each table! I suggest that a portion of the small tables in the nonsmoking section be placed together end to end to form some large "Community tables" while leaving some tables seperate to accomodate small groups. Does anyone else think this is a good idea? Deborah Pickett 'CORRECTION' An editing error in a column in the Sept. 28 issue of the Torch by staff writer Jim Jarboe, "Writer seeks truth and awareness on painful issues," resulted in the omission of a portion of the copy, severely altering the context. A reference to future topics read" 'Peace, what's the price, is it worth it,and who benefits,' as there are those who strongly believe that is precisely what our economy needs to pull us out of our current recession." The correct version should have read, "Then there's the solution some see as viable-war -and again what's the price, is it worth it,and who benefits,as there are those who strongly believe that's precisely what our economy needs to pull us out of our current recession." .Student Directory Exemption includes honor roll by Mary Browning Torch Associate Editor Students who sign a Student Directory Exemption card are not only omitted from the student directory, but also from publication in the President and Vice President's Honor Roll lists. According to the LCC Fall 1990 Class Catalog, that the college operates under a policy which spells out which information can be released to students, to the public, and how a student can request that certain information cannot be released. The college's student confidentiality policy in general states, in the 1990-91 College Catalog, "In accord with Federal Law (The Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act, Public Law 93-380), students may see and review all official records, files, and data pertaining to themselves with these exceptions: confidential financial information reported by the parent/ guardian unless the parent/ guardian has explicitly granted permission for the student'sreview;and medical, psychiatric, or similar records used for treatment purposes. "Students' access to their own records is guaranteed as early as possible, but no longer than 45 days from the time of the student's official req1,.1est. Where records are kept, who is responsible for these records, and who has access to the records is posted in the Admissions Office," the catalog states. "A student may c~allenge the content of a record that she or he considers inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student's privacy or other rights. If such a challenge is not resolved with the custodian of the records, the student has a right to an appeal. Further information is available in Student Records, Admissions or the Student Activities Office." Specificallydealingwith the honor roll, the confidentiality policy stated in the 1990-91 catalog reads, "A directory of current students is maintained Lane hires color consultant LCC has hired a color consultant who will give advise on future choices of color schemes for the college.

Forensics team starts new year by Chris Prather Torch Staff Writer The LCC Forensics Team is gearing up for the 1990-91 school year.and studentsareencouraged to join in the effort. According to coach Barbara Brea den, it's not essential that students have prior speaking experience to join. Says Breaden, beingon the team is an "intense" learning experience with lots of individual attention. With four returning team members from last year, Breaden is looking forward to an "up" year. Last year's team was in a state of flux due to the loss of skilled team members, Breaden says, but she anticipates a rebound this year. "I think we have a promisingyearahead. We have a more settling team than last year." One returning team member will be Dan Clark, who took first place in "poetry interpretation" at the Annual Northwest Community College Forensics Championships last spring at LCC. The Forensics Team starts its competition this weekend, Oct. 6, with a scrimmage at Oregon State University in Corvallis. The team will also co-host, along with the University of Oregon, a debate between incumbent State Senator Pete Swan and candidate Gratton Kerans on Oct. 11. Breaden stated that she " hopes that students and staff will come and inform themselves and ask questions."

Pau l Colvin, director of campus services at LCC, feels that the traffic lights were a good investment for Lane County. :' •.· • - •\ \ "Originally, we had requested to have the county look at the situation (of putting in stop lights) because of the potential safety hazards," he says. Also, because of the heavy eastbound traffic and the speeds at which they travel, the Lane Transit Distrjct(LTD) buses had difficulty turning onto the highway. As a result, LTD also put pressure on the county to set up the lights and to lessen the frustration the bus drivers have experienced. "The new stop lights will now regulate the flow of traffic and drastically cut down on the many delays of those travelinginandout(ofLCC). " Colvin says.

Moskus based his decision on the recommendation of an eight-member campus committee, composed of students and staff. "Developing affordable, available, and high quality child care is what we'll be addressing," says Andrews. Andrews, the president of Family Support Systems of Eugene, has a masters and doctoral degree in child development. He has assisted with child care programs at Oregon State University and Linn-Benton Community College, as well as working as a consultant for Congress on recent child care-related bills. Andrewsplanstopull togethertheinformationcurrently available on the campus' child care requirements, as well as develop a needs assessment of his own. His assessment will be based upon writtensurveys;meetingswithstudents, staff, and community members as individuals, and in groups; and an evaluation of the college's financial resources. Andrews says he does not want to propose a "pie-inthe-sky" program that is unrealistic for the college or the students. "One of the things I'm paying particular attention to is the financial aspect. I'm looking for a financially responsible plan that will meet the needs of the students," he says. LCC child care consultant David Andrews. Bette Dorris has seen a great deal in her years at LCC. In fact, as LCC Legal Aid secretary, former president of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), ASLCC Senator and full-time student, she is one of the most active people on campus. students in motion by carolyn smith Dorris was president of PTK for two years and anticipates moving into the role of PTK advisor. She is the only twotime president in the 23 year history of PTK at LCC. Her role as legal secretary is also one she thrives on. "I love it. I think it's fascinating," she says. "It's one the fastest moving roles on campus." Dorris estimates that Legal Aid provides confidential service to about 650-700 students a year. Student government also plays a very large role among her many areas of involvement. Dorris has been a student Senator for three years and is excited about the year ahead. "Of all the student governments I've worked photo by Deborah Pickett Bette Dorris, one of the most active people on campus. with," she says, "this will be the one that gets the most done." With a large budget to work with, Dorris expects ASLCC to meet its goals. The main focus this year, she says, is child care, which has been a problem on campus for about 10 years. She would like to see a student union building to house child care facilities and student groups such as ASLCC and the Torch. Dorris senses a positive atmosphere developing at LCC. "I see the entire climate of the college building. I think our new president (Jerry Moskus) is really excellent. " She feels Moskus is very much in tune with the needs of students. photo by Erin Naillon Andrews, who has experience in grant processing, says affordability means finding a way to fund any proposed programs,notjustfinding the money in the current budget. The college does not necessarily need to have the resources to develop the proposal at this ti me, according to Andrews, only the ability to develop the resources if a program is implemented. "I'll be looking for the best ways to meet the needs of the students," he says. This does not mean that the options are restricted to on-campus child care. Andrews says he is looking into several different options for the preliminary proposal, due Dec.1. The Dec. 1 report will summarize for Moskus the data Andrewshascollectedandoutlinethecollege'salternatives. Moskus will then choose viable options to be presented to the college community. ASLCC President Michael Omogrosso, a member of the selection committee, says that Andrews was recommended because "a combination of his education and experience" made him stand out. "It all seemed geared toward this particular situation," says Omogrosso. As part of evaluating the child care needs at LCC, Andrews will attempt to find out from students how many have a need for child care, what students would want if they could afford child care, what would suit students best. However, part of what he will be doing on campus is educating the students on the options. "Letting students knowwhat(child care) works best for them.Many students don't understand what options the college can offer them," says Andrews. After review by the college community, he will formulate a final recommendation, due Feb.1, 1991. photo by Ron Story New bus terminal in place LTD's new bus terminal, which incorporates the previously seperate Eugene and Springfield terminals, was recently opened for use.

Having said that, I guess I've got to qualify that statement. I love Suzanne Vega, Tracy Chapman's ok, and who doesn't like at least one Simon and Garfunkel tune. Now, however, my view is being modified by a compilation of new folk. It's called "Legacy," and it's assembled by those new age folks at Windham Hill Records. "Legacy" contains fifteen cuts by fifteen different artists and groups who rep resent broad geographical and stylistic differences. This album has thoroughly changed my mind about folk.music. --The title cut, "Legacy," was written and performed by Pierce Pettis. It is one of the most powerful anti-racism songs that I have ever heard. The chorus is but a small example of the power this southerner pours into this song. The arrangement is simple, using only acoustic and high-string guitars, and the catchy, uncluttered melody allows the words to power the theme home. The next cut, "My Father's Shoes," is an excellent complement to "Legacy". The producers show great subtlety in placing these two songs back to back. Cliff Eberhardt has created a beautiful declaration in this song that can only be called profound. The song's central theme is the demand that the youth not repeat the errors of their parents, and the lyrics and music are wonderfully innovative and fresh. Both Pettis and Eberhardt use somewhat traditional folk styles, but Rebecca Jenkins' "Through the Leaves" is a pure avant-pop style • that defies classification. The lyrics reflect the confusion that life creates, "Nothin' doing you can do anything/ Anything that you please ..." It is not so much the lyrics as the synthesis of lyrics with arrangement that create a truly memorable cut. It succeeds, and a memorable - and ethereal - cut it is. A cut by a local Seattle trio proves that the Northwest is still a folk Mecca. Unde Bonsai's "Men and Women" is a precocious and irreverent look at traditional romanticpairings The arrangement is hyperactive, yet not distracting. The cut's production complements the lyrics. It's a great piece. All of this lavish praise belies the fact that there are several cuts that I truly despise. "Go Man Go" is noisy, duttered and boring. "My Name Joe" is trite, even though the music is pleasant,and the singer in "Old World" sounds whiny (though the lyrics are great!). But then I don't find it unusual at all thatl don't like all the cuts. It happens on virtually every album I listen to. For an average album, finding one in five songs tha·t you dislike is normal. For a compilation, it's extraordinary! This is one of the best music investments of the year, and at $10.99 for CD, it's a steal. You'll probably have to order the disc, but it's well worth it. 'Wild at Heart' facks heart by'Joshua Hendrickson Torch Staff Writer "Wild at Heart," directed by David Lynch, starring Nicholas Cage and Laura Dern, playing at Cinemaland. 4 1/2 out of 10. Being a fan of director David Lynch ("Twin Peaks"), I wanted to like his new film, "Wild at Heart." Unfortunately, I am never much pleased by ambitious failures, especially when their ambitions are as misplaced as are those in this film. The film's central characters are two wild, unbridled-lovers, one an ex-convict (Cage), the other a young woman (Dern) escaping the clutches of her wicked witch of a mother. While the story is ostensibly about their road trip across the southern states, i~ reality this limp device is nothing more than a canvas on which Lynch paints as many bizarre, gory, and brain-slapping images as can be contained by two hours. I suppose he thought he was making a statement about the immortality of love in the face of all odds (and odd they are), but this contention has no support within the actual movie he made. Any great love story needs inner tension, and theresimplyisn'tany. Thereis not a single moment when either lover falls out of love with the other. In place of tension, Lynch provides endless barrages of • freaks (the most eye-popping being the grossly fat, naked ' whores) and grotesque behavior. This is not bad in itself, but the strangeness in this film serves only to distract us from its empty soul. Lynch isa brilliant director, to be sure; his last film, "Blue Velvet," used shocking actions and quirky visuals to excel lent effect. "Wild at Heart," though, seems concerned primarily with achei ving overkil I. Watching it is like staring at a circus geek show, and leaves the same bad aftertaste. This said, praise must be given where it is due. The acting, especially by Cage and Dern, is excellent. Willem Dafoe, always an interesting actor, plays a slimeball with a disgusting set of teeth and morals; his scene with Dern is the most intense and memorable moment the film has to offer. But the performances - and the visuals, which are uniformly striking - are in service to something ultimately meaningless. "Wild at Heart" is wild, yes, but lacks heart. your neighborhood copy center SPRINGFIELD SCIENTIFIC SUPPLIES Four talent grants were awarded following dance auditions on Sept. 27. .Talent grants awarded by Tracy Brooks Torch Entertainment Editor The LCC Dance Faculty awarded talent grants to four LCCdancestudents. The students were chosen for the four available talent grants-one-year, full tuition scholarships -after a student competition for the grants, Thursday, Sept. 27. ~FivefacultyjudgesselectedstudentsSheilaSanNicholas, Stephanie Snell, Kristina Keizur, and Michele Chaney to receive the scholarships for the 1990-91 school year. The selections are dependent upon the approval of the department head and financial services. Six people auditioned for this year's talent grants, a decrease from from the previous year's turn-out of 20 people. According to Mary Seeriter, dance instructor, the dance faculty feels that giving talent grants helps bring new talent to LCC's dance department. The faculty, says Seeriter, selects good studen_ts, who demonstrate dedicaton, possess a love of dance, and show good dance potential. All the talent grant recipients will work on special projects within the department to aid with achieving professional goals. Additional auditions for talent grants may be heldagain during Winter and Spring Terms if the current recipients are unable to continue at LCC, or if the faculty decides to award a fifth grant. t:J Professional • Convenient • Affordable beautiful Kodak and Xerox copies • 4¢ self service ropies fax. service • flyers newsletters easy free parking • Pap/Pelvic Exam • Infection Checks • Birth Control • Pregnancy Testing • Counseling IWM.II CITY COPY II -.,,_:., ,_,_, .Cl I I -,I,_, '- I 1253 Lincoln 344-5287 M-F 8:30-6 Sat 11-5 PLANNED PARENTHOOD 134 East Thirteenth Avenue• Eugene 344-9411 The Torch October 5, 1990 Page 7 L:,;1tâ–2L"',.-=- Volleyball games a family affair for Titans by Robert Catalano "We're real proud of both of our girls," adds Jerry Moser, They come from the "I'm confident that they will hinterlands of Lane County, do well in whatever they voicing encouragement for choose.

Titans break ice The LCC volleyball team was held toonepoint over a span of fifteen serves by a tenacious Umpqua College Community defense, and went down to their fifth defeat in six conference tries on Oct. 4. After losing game one 4-15, the Titans appeared to take charge jumping to a 9-3 lead in game two. A combination of kills by Sharin Armantrout and "blocks" by Andrea Bransom led to LCC' s early lead. Umpqua' sdefense took over at that point, holding the Titan's scoreless the rest of the way, while the offense slammed home 12 consecutive points to win the game 15-9. Game three turned out to be a see-saw battle until Umpqua went ahead for goodatl2-11. LCChadits chances to win the game but five service errors at critical points in the game led to the Titans undoing. In earlier games, the steadily improving Titans beat Portland CC on Sept. 29, 15-11, 15-11 and 15-5 and defeated the Western Baptist JV, in Salem, 15-8, 15-4 and 15-7, on Oct 1. The next Titan volkvball match is at Southwest OregonCCinNorth Bend, on Oct. 10 and their next home game is Oct. 19 against Clackamas CC. "Open gym" policy cutback, intramurals to include U of O students by Robert Catalano Torch Sports Editor Access to LCC's athletic facility will be streamlined this fall in order to provide better services and greater access for students as well as other Lane County residents. "We will be scaling back Track & Field Cross Country programs which have not been productive," says Athletic Facility Supervisor Gary Knapp. "Our "open-gym" policy will be cut back to two nights a week and we will be enforcing the collection of fees for clothing and locker space." Knapp also wan ts to expand the existing intramural program for LCC students and provide facilities for area high schools and athletic leagues. "Just by looking out there," Knapp said, pointing to the gymnasium, "you can tell the facility is under-utilized. I've been in contact with Willamalane and some of the city recreation leagues to see if they are interested in coming out here (to LCC). community "More involvement can only mean better P.R. for the school." Knapp would also like to see an expanded intramural program at LCC. "Right now our most popular intramural sports are 3-on-3 basketball in the fall and 5-on-5 in the winter. I'd also like to see us have a club-level soccer team at LCC."

The A's WaltWeissandMikeGallego are one of the top five double play combinations in major league baseball. Although Gallego is not as good offensively as Boston second baseman Jody Reed, he has an edge defensively and the A's don't lose much at that position when veteran Willie Randolph subs for him. Weiss is a much better shortstop than Boston's Luis Rivera and he can hit the curveball, too. At the comers, Boston and Oakland are both much better than average. Carlos Quintana and Mark McGwire are both good defensive first basemen but McGwire is by far the more dangerous hitter. He has hit over 30 home runs for the past four years and he knows how to hit them when the A's need it most. Wade Boggs may hit more doubles and for a better average than Oakland third baseman Carney Lansford, but for clutch hitting and defense he comes nowhere close to be being Lansford's peer. Carney Lansford's leadership role on the A's is one of the main reasons Oakland kept on winning during the injuries to Canseco and Dave Henderson. When it comes to pitching, the A's have the best staff in baseball. 'fheteam earned run average (ERA) may not be tops, but the Oakland pitchers win when they have to.

Zimmerman ASLCC approves trial social hour, MLK speaker. by John Unger Torch Staff Writer The Oct. 1 ASLCC Senate meeting centered on methods of increasing student involvement and awareness. A social hour on Monday afternoon, designed to informally bring together students and ASL CC members, was approved on a trial basis. Senator Betty Dorris warned PSA'S that two years ago a similar system resulted in friction. Cultural Director Trish Rosewood replied, "We didn't have the 'Love President' then." The proposal, set forth by SenatorSabrinaPanasuck, was passed unanimously by the Senate. A $60 start-up fund was included for beverages, with ASLCC members encouraged to bring cookies and crackers. The meeting is tentatively scheduled at 2 p.m. FREE In other business, the Senate approved allocating $7650 to confirm Dr. Hosea Williams as the keynote speaker for the annual Martin Luther King Celebration. This budget for the event totals $13,000. Funding of $400 per term for the Multi-Cultural Center social hour, which has been supported by ASLCC for five years, was approved.
