Eugene Mayor Jeff Miller makes a statement of support for LCC's tax base as Springfield Mayor
Bill Morrisette, Creswell Mayor Eddie McCluskey, Cottage Grove Mayor Jim Gilroy, and Junction
City Mayor Dan Bedore look on.

Several mayors in Lane
County have united in a show
of support for LCC' s tax base
which goes before voters on
Nov.6.
At an Oct. 18 press
conference and reception six
local mayors gathered to make
statements of support for LCC.
The reception and press
conference was hosted by the
LCC Advocates, a group of
LCC supporters.
Said Eugene Mayor Jeff
Miller, "I think it's imperative
that (the mayors) stand behind
the college in support. They're
not asking for the moon, they' re
asking for survival that can
serve this community."
Many of the mayors present,
including Springfield Mayor
Bill Morrisette, cited a need for

the retraining of displaced
workers, due to the ec nomic
climate in the wood products
industry, and stated that LCC
is the place to fill that need.
"We feel that Lane
Community College's role is
extremely vital in job
retraining," he said. "It's an
economic development tool. So
we feel that this is the time that
the people of Lane County have
to realize that if we truly respect
economic development, we
have to support our local
community college It's
absolutely imperative."
Said Cottage Grove Mayor
Jim Gilroy, "Withover600jobs
lost in the Cottage Grove region
over the last year and a half, I
believe now, more than ever,
we need the skills that LCC can
provide as we move into the
21st century. I'm not talking

herbicide use issue
by Mary Browning
Torch Associate &iitor

The LCC Board ·of Education discussed a proposed new
herbicide and pesticide use program during its Wednesday,
Oct.17 meeting.
The board discussed a report by Director of Campus Services
Paul Colvin on the feasibility of areductionin the use of herbicides
and pesticides on campus. After much discussion, board members
decided to wait until the November meeting to make a decision
on Colvin' s proposal to instigate an Integrated Pest Management
program at LCC. The proposed program would reduce the use of
herbicides and pesticides on campus by an estimated total of
79%, according to Colvin.
Also approved was a contract award to Spectra Systems of

Voters face mud
It's time to don your hip waders, Oregon voters, but not
because of the heavy rains that moved in over most of Oregon
Wednesday night.
Instead, as voters, we must be prepared to wade through the
mud being slung by candidates vying foroffice in this November's
general election.
Thisfonnofnegativecampaigningisevidentprimarilyin the
race for governor.
Once these tactics begin, all candidates tend to resort to
similar behavior. This is unfortunate-not because of the namecalling that reverberates between candidates, but because it
makes the process of selecting a candidate an obscure task.
Rather than informing voters where they stand on the issues
at hand, candidates are resorting to "image making," or rather,
negative image making, by presenting their opponent as a
candidate unfit for the office they pursue.
An obvious example of smear campaigns is the race for
Oregon governor between Republican Dave Frohnmayer and
Democrat Barbara Roberts. The mud slinging began with
Frohnmayer' s television commercials, which among other things,
accused Roberts of voting against bills that would protect female
police officers from rape attempts.
Unfortunately, Roberts' campaign has chosen to follow suit
with its own television spots, citing editorials by the RegisterGuard, the Oregonian, and the Statesman-Journal that blast
Frohnmayer for his campaign tactics.
This places voters in the position of having to decide between
the lesser of two evils.
This form of campaigning also inhibits candidates who lack a
million dollar campaign fund, and the ability to purchase
television commercials, from effectively reaching voters. Such is
the case with gubernatorial candidates Fred Oerther, who
represents the Libertarian party, and Al Mobley, who is running
as an independent.
The current smear campaigns between Frohnmayer and
Roberts force Oerther and Mobely into what is essentially a
non-candidate role. Voter attention focuses on the mud wrestling
between the primary candidates, and blinds them to where the
other candidates stand on issues.
Consequently, as voters, we have the responsibility to don
our figurative hip waders and slosh through the mud. We must
look at the issues, determine where the candidates stand on the
issues,and voteforthecandidatewhoisthemostcloselyaligned
with our own personal beliefs.
This can be done by referring to the Register-Guard's (and
othernewspapers in the state) continuing coverage of individual
campaigns and editorial statements. It can also be done by
referring to the Oregon Voter's Pamphlet which profiles the
candidates, states where they stand on issues, and presents
letters of support from outside sources.
Until political candidates can overcome their childish namecalling and mud-slinging, and run issue-oriented campaigns,
we the voters must look past the dirt and nonsense to find the
candidate who best addresses our needs.

Pencil pixie hides sharpeners
And another thing . . .
admittedly a lot of trivial,
senseless little things bother me
in the course of my daily life,
but this little bit of senseless
trivial irritation keeps popping
up.
The problem is pencil
sharpeners or more
precisely, the lack of them.
Think for a minute. The last
time your pencil lead broke,
could you find a pencil
sharpener?
Chances are if you broke
your lead here on campus, a
pencil sharpener was more
difficult to find than a parking
space at 10 a.m. on Monday
morning.
Now, high-tech, mechanical
pencil owners may smirk, but
for the old Tigonderoga #2 user
- this is serious business.
I can assume that
somewhere on campus there
are sharpeners available for
students to use, I've just seen
little evidence of any at LCC.
(There is one in the Torch office,
whichlamdiscounting-since
it is not available to the general
student population. Maybe we
should advertise its location
and charge by the crank! But
back to the "point" at hand.)
I have heard that there is a
sharpener in the library,
though I've never actually been
able to find it. Based on the
strength of these rumors,
however, I continue to search
for it valiantly. Not that the
efforts of a single sharpener
would be able to keep a whole
campus sharp. And what good
is a sharpener in the Center
Building to a student in the

Apprenticeship Building?
I can't help but wonder if
maybe there isn't a little pencil
pixie hiding the sharpeners

and another
thing ...
mary browning
from students. Or maybe it is
all a nefarious scheme plotted
out by the interior designers of
the school classrooms to hide
the sharpeners from students,
to frustrate them during
classes, to lower overall GP As
at LCC, to ...
But wait, maybe that is a
little far fetched. There could
be a very simple answer to the
whole situation.
No funding for pencil
sharpeners in the budget may
be the reason, perhaps, or a
policy abolishing the noisy

to see them (Pencil Sharpener
Blindness? Quick! Alert the
medical profession. Maybe the
government will give me
disability funding for
mechanical pencils).
• And another thing . . .
what's the theory behind all
the pop cans I've seen left in
planters across campus lately?
Didn't your mommy tell you
you can't grow aluminum trees
from Pepsi cans? If you take
the time to purchase a can of
pop you are tacitly agreeing to
disposing of it responsibly. If
you'renotgoingtorecycleyour
can, at least have the decency
beggars in classrooms to a void
annoying distractions, or just
possibly I have a rare vision
problem that doesn't allow me
to throw it away.
So I'll leave my monologue
with this thought: No matter
what-there'salwaysanother
thing ...

Whining Frohnmayer turns off this voter
The single most offensive trait a
politician can have, which will turn my
ears off to his/her message at close to
the speed of sound, is whining.
Whining can be defined in the
political arena as the sound a candidate
makes when he/ she either is maligned
by the press when pointing out an
obvious mistake the candidate has
made, or when the candidate tries to
justify the error by not accepting
responsibility for it.
Such is the case with gubernatorial
candidate Dave Frohnmayer and his
early campaign attacks on opponent
Barbara Roberts.
Recently, Frohnmayer complained

of an article in the Register-Guard which
pointed out that he had initiated a
negative campaign against Roberts and
polls throughout the state showed that
his campaign was suffering for it.
His firstpublic reaction was to whine.
He castigated the press for implying
that his 30-second spots were negative
and then, without acknowledging that
the ads were indeed negative, blamed
his ad agency for making him appear
too "strident".
There are a few reasons I consider
Frohnmayer' s reaction to the issue as
whining.
First of all, anyone that reads the RG with any regularity (either by choice

or because it's the only game in town)
can detect an obvious leaning toward a

commentary

by robert catalano
pro-Frohnmayer point of view.
Not only does the R-G use strategic
placement of news items to indicate its
support of Frohnrnayer, but it has also
opposed Roberts' pet issue of closing
down the Trojan nuclear power plant.
Perhaps Frohnmayer' s complaint
should be that the negative story about
his campaign wasn't on the same pages

The next instance of Frohnmayer
whining came at the expense of his

blamed for the "strident" (notice the

his previous campaign spots.
The ad agency's reply was that the
ads were approved by Frohnmayer's
campaign before they ran, and that ad
agencies wouldn't make money if their
policy were to create ads which were
contradictory to the wishes of their
employers.

These sen ti men ts were

I might still be listening to Dave Frohnmayer's message of
cardigan sweaters and family values if he hadn't whined.
Although he seems to be a fairly honest and forthright person (a
regular Rhodes Scholar-boyscout), these shining qualities seem
muddied by his inability to acknowledge his mistake and accept
responsibility for it.
If Frohnmayer is so thin-skinned that he becomes upset when
an obviously supportive newspaper brings a mistake to his
attention, it sets me to wondering how responsive he will be to
the public after a few years in the governor's office, if some of his
policies meet with resistance.
Will he be willing to change direction for the good of
Oregonians or will he do the whiny thing and blame the
Democrats for his own policy failures?
In any case, I'm voting for someone else.

Tuition hike highlights Senate
by John Unger
Torch Staff Writer

LCCPresidentJerry Moskus
told the Student Senate that if
the LCC tax base request were
approved by voters next
month,itwould provide$3.75
million to maintain existing
college demands, address the
burgeoning educational needs
to train dislocated workers, and
reduce waiting lists for
programs and courses. .
If the request failed, he said
tuition might have to rise to
cover the college's revenue
needs.
At the Ocf. 15 sfudent
government meeting, Moskus
said if the college's tax base
request were approved, the
1991-92 estimated property tax
wouldbe$23.20foreach$1,000
of assessed value, an increase
of 29 cents above the current
rate. To illustrate, he said the
owner of a home assessed at
$80,000 would pay$23.20more
to LCC for the tax year.
Moskus reported that while
conferring with groups in the
community, some suggested
that the college should raise

tuitionra ther than ask property
owners and renters for a higher
tax base. He said failure of the
upcoming tax base request
would result in a $2.3 million
deficit, and that a tuition
increase of $10 per credit hour
would be required to make up
the deficit. "I think that would
probably kill most of you," he
added.
Tuition and fees now
provide about 22 percent of
the college's funds, which is
among the highest ratios for
community colleges in the
state.
Moskus pointed outthatthe
state provides revenues for
community college operations,
but that only 23 percent of
funds come from state sources.
He also noted, though, that the
college is probably more
responsive to local feedback as
a result of receiving 40 percent
of its funding from local
property taxes, rather than
those generated at the state
level.
In other business, the LCC
Gay and Lesbian Alliance
received re-ratification and $50
in
initial
funding.

Spokesperson Steve Moore
said, "There is a need on
campus for people who are
lesbian and who are gay to have
a place where they can come
just to support each other in
their studies and support each
other in the community."
Mary Beth Maxwell
represented the United States
Student Association (USSA)
and reported on the
importance of participation in
the Grass Roots Organizing
Weekend (GROW) at Oregon
State University on Nov. 9-11.
USSA cosponsors the event
with the National Student
Educational Fund and the
Midwest Academy.
Maxwell said that GROW
offers skills training for student
activists and leaders. She said
federal policy dictating
. students wait 30 days into the
semester to receive Stafford
Loans is among topics to be
addressed.

Senate approves speaker
Dr. Williams to speak at MLKcelebration
by Chris Prather
Torch Staff Writer

REVEREND DR. HOSEA WILLIAMS

On Oct. 1, the ASLCC Senate approved
Reverend Dr. Hosea Williams as the speaker for
this year's Martin Luther King Celebration.
The ASLCC Senate allotted $4,500 for
Williams' speaking fees, an additional $3,000
for air fare, and $150 for meals and lodging.
Williams served as Martin Luther King's
chief aide in charge of field operations on such
marches as the Selma to Montgomery March in
1965 and was also the national mobilizer of the
Poor People's Campaign and the mayor of
Resurrection City in Washington D.C., in 1968.
Williams has been arrested over 120 times for
his involvement in human rights
demonstrations.
Williams was also one of the first dozen

According to a pamphlet by the American
•Programs Bureau, Williams was also the "only
disciple of Dr. King who refused to believe that
the strategies that Dr. King used and the
techniques he used in implementing those
strategies ... did not become obsolete with Dr
King's death."
Williams, who is 61, was the chief organizer
for 95 percent of Dr. King's non-violent
demonstrations. He presently serves as a
member of the Atlanta City Council and
President of the Metro Atlanta Southern
Christian Leadership Conference Affiliate.
Williams received his Doctor of Laws degree at
Morris Brown College.
Williams is scheduled to speak at the Hult

According to ASLCC Cultural Director Trish

Burke suggests the best way
for students to get involved is
to attend one of the many

attend the meetings for the

on Wednesdays at 1l a.m. in

for the individual project
meetings are as follows:
Recycling, Tuesdays at 2:30

One final way to start

"For people who are
interested in just one issue, we
have meetings for the goals of

our general goal is, which is

"That's what public interest

The new Elder Hostel classes offered
through the LCC-Florence campus are fully

Florence area Director Bill Porter.
The classes, offered in Oregon only at
LCC-Florence,Oct.22-26,andOct.29-Nov.2,
are an international program offered to
elderly adults. The program has drawn
students from from Massachusetts, Florida,

some could be "induced" to relocate in the

In the college's notice of

With Apple's introduction of three new
Macintosh®computers, meeting the challenges of college
life just got a whole lot easier. Because now, everybody
can afford a Macintosh.
The ~bcinttlsh Chssic" is our most
affordable model, yet it comes with everything you needincluding a hard disk drive. The hiliiiidiDCI
combines color capabilities with affordability. And the
ltiNiii@did is perfect for students who need a
computer with extra power and expandability.
No matter which Macintosh you choose, you'll
have a computer that lightens your work load without

giving you another tough subject to learn. Every Macintosh
computer is easy to set up and even easier to master. And
when you've learned one program, you're well on your
way to learning them all. That's because thousands of available programs all work in the same, consistent manner.
You can even share information with someone who uses a
different type of computer- thanks to Apple's versatile
SuperDrive~ which reads from and writes to Macintosh,
MS-DOS, 0S/2, and Apple®II floppy disks.
See the new Macintosh computers for yourself,
and find out how surviving college just got a whole lot

Parents create memorial in honor of son
by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

Mike Surmeier loved his parents, his friends, and
basketball. On February 23, 1990, the former LCC
student was tragically killed in an automobile
accident.
Surmeier, who was attending Western Oregon
State College (WOSC) at the time of his death, was
held in high esteem by those who knew him.
"Mike was a 100 percenter," remembers LCC
Men's Basketball Coach Dale Bates. "Everybody
liked him and he was a joy to coach."
Mike's parents, Henry and Sharon Surmeier,
weren't surprised when more than 450 people
showed up for their son's funeral.
"Most of these people weren't just those who
could say they knew Mike," says Mrs. Surmeier.
"They were his friends."
While making funeral arrangements, the
Surmeiers came up with the idea of creating a
scholarship fund at LCC to honor the memory of
their son.
"Mike set a good example for others. He had
goals and he knew what he wanted out oflife," says
Mrs. Sunneier. "We wanted to do something that
could help someone go the same direction and learn
to be a responsible adult."
The Surmeiers were directed to the LCC
Foundation by Coach Bates and the Mike Sunneier
Memorial Scholarship Award was born.
Those who wished to pay their respect to Mike
Surmeirer's memory were requested to donate to
the fund in lieu of flowers. Donors contributed
enough money to provide tuition grants for LCC
basketball players who best exemplify Mike
Sunneier' s character.
The first recipient of the award, which also
includes a trophy, was Marty Lees, a former LCC
player who now attends WOSC.
"The idea was to provide scholarship awards for
two years, until 1991, to coincide with the year Mike
would have graduated from college," says Coach
Bates. "Right now, we have enough money to
provide nine awards over the next three terms."
"Jay Willis, Doug Piquette and Matt Waddell

will probably receive the award for this term (Fall
1990)," says Bates.
Coach Bates, who is the person assigned by the
LCC Foundation to determine the deserving
athlete, says hard work, team spirit and a
willingness to learn are the qualities he looks for in
a recipient.
LCC Foundation Director Joe Farmer says
scholarship funds like the one set up by the
Surmeiers are a good way of memorializing a
loved one.
"Those who start a fund, or donate to one, can
realize how important it is to give others the
opportunity to benefit from their generosity,"
Farmer says. "A scholarship of this type can be a
lasting memorial to the qualities and goals of the
person it honors."
TheSurmeiersare pleased with theway Farmer
and others at LCChave helped them to accomplish

what they set out to do.
"Everyone here has gone out of their way to
help us," says Sharon Surmeier. ''When I was
sending 'Thank you' notes to those who have been
so giving, I had to call the P .E. Department to get
an address. The person I talked to dropped what
they were doing, and called around to get the
number for me.
"Mike loved going to school here (at LCC) and
we thought LCC was the school that needed the
money the most."
Althougheightmonthshavep assed since Mike
died, some of his friends still come over to the
Surmeier' s Springfield home.
"Our lives have changed forever," says Mrs.
Surmeier, "But we haven't stepped being parents."
Those wishing to donate to the Surmeier
Scholarship Fund can call Joe Farmer at the LCC
Foundation, ext. 2810.

players when practice began
October 8.

"The returning lettermen
weren't in very good physicai
shape and I wasn't able to see a

their mental attitude.
"At this point," Bates
continues, "I have 13 uniforms
to fill. No one is assured a spot
(on the team)."
Bates, whoisenteringhisfinal

year of coaching before
retirement, demands that his
players be mentally and
physically strong, as well as
team-oriented.
"You can't build a winning
team with prima-donnas. I'll
choose a player who works
hard and wants the team to
win before I'll pick one who is

only worried about himself."
Bates is a country boy and
says, ''When I was growin' up

Titans

and controlled- substance abuse,
collective bargaining collusion· by
franchise owners, and felonious
conduct by athletes have appeared in
the media on more than a few occasions.
Oregon, in deference to NBA
concerns, has adopted the policy of not
placing Trailblazer games into Sports
Action's weekly array of choices. If
scandal came from betting on
basketball, it would not come from
Oregonians betting on the Trailblazers.
I'm sure any other state which was
home to an NBA or NFL franchise
would be amenable to this condition
before initiating a sports lottery type of
game.
The most likely reason Sports Action
would probably never lead to
widespread illegal gambling is that it's
just not lucrative. What illegal gambler
would want to go to the trouble of
fixing three games and the expense of
paying off a number of athletes to win
a few thousand dollars? The odds just
don't favor this happening.
Unlike Congressmen Bryant and
Brooks, who oppose Sports Action
because they feel that states shouldn't
be in the gambling business, I don't feel
Sports Action money is tainted and
neither should Oregonians. If Catholics
can play bingo and the Lions' Club can
hold raffles, we can have Sports Action
without feeling guilt for corrupting
America's moral values.
Besides, I would rather throw away
money to help my adopted state, than
have it line the pockets of an NFL owner

(A "side-out" occurs when

Faculty member to appear in "Grand Tour"

to be released at Christmas of
1990, but she has credits for

"I've been doing theater
since I was 6 years old,'' says
Lane Community College
Speech Instructor Jacquie
McClure.
Her serious interest in
theater started at age 17
when she captured first place
in a national one-act play
contest. Until that time,
though she knew she enjoyed theater, she didn't feel
she really had the talent
necessary to make acting into
a full time career.
Any plans she might have
had disappeared when she
took first place in a regional
scholarship contest sponsored by the state of Florida.
The contest offered the winner a scholarship for four
years of college if the winner
pursued a teaching career.
McClure, who would otherwise have not been able to afford higher education, took
the scholarship.
She majored in Speech and

Penciled drawings by artist Blair Benz will be on display in
the Lane Community College Art Department Gallery from
Oct. 22 through Nov. 9.
According to Benz's resume, this will be his first showing
outside of Iowa, where he resides. He will be unable to appear with his work, says Art and Applied Design Instructor / G_allery Director Harold Hoy, because the department
doesn't have the funds to bring him to Eugene .
Hoy says Benz's work was originally noticed by the Art
Department when Hoy himself was teaching in Iowa last
year, and met Benz. He was present at a showing of Benz's
work, which Hoy says is "impressive."
"It's very controlled, tight rendering. It seems to be interested in creating a mood. It's very skillful," says Hoy.
Says Benz of his work, ''I believe we live in a world filled
with spirits. Fog, and dark, quiet places are alive and have a
soul, as do rocks and trees. In my work, I strive to capture
the presence of these spirits, and, in doing so, a sense of the
mystery that such things hold for all of us."
Benz has displayed his work oµ the 1986 Iowa Television
Art Show, the 1987 and 1988 Iowa Artists Competitive Exhibition at Metropolitan Galleries in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and the
"Blair Benz: Drawings" exhibition at Waterloo Recreation
and Arts Center.

In addition to appearing in
theater and film productions,
she has made several television appearances, including
her role in the T. V. film
''Isn't it Shocking,'' with actor Alan Alda.
At the time she appeared

with him for a three minute
scene in 1973, she says, "I
didn't even quite know who
Alan Alda was."
After her first speaking
part, she was required to join
the Screen Actor's Guild, a
union for screen actors.
Film work, according to
McClure, is quite different
than stage acting. In stage

work, an actor has to gesture
and make use of the body. In
film work, "You have to control that," she says.
McClure has no immediate
performances lined up. In
the spring, though, she will
appear in the play, "Sister
Mary Ignacious Explains It
All for You,'' at the Actors
Cabaret of Eugene.
