Lane Community College Vol. 26 Eugene, Oregon October 19, 1990 No. 5 Nine Lane County mayors endorse LCC tax base by Devan C. Wilson Torch Editor Photo by Dana Krizan 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.

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 Springfield, tor the emergency clean-up of a fire in the Industrial Turn to Board, p. 6 Six VP of Instruction finalists selected by Mary Browning Torch Associate Editor The search committee for the Vice President of Instruction has named six finalists for the position.

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. ••a L~ ~c. ~~ ANociale E d i t o r - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Ma'y Browning SporlaEditor - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - RobertCatal.rio EnllrlllinmentEditor - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tracy Brooks Production Manag« _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Darien Waggoner Alll Production Manager _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ MichelleSlllctiam Photo Editor _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ &in Nailon Photogrtphera: Debor.ii Pickett, Travis Glover, Dan Doerner, Ron Slay, D.na Krizan, Thatcher Tran~ey.

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.

I had to park up on top and I noticed there is no pathway down to the school. R. Bowen , 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 ASLCC ' OPINION POLL CAMPUS CALENDER Question of the week: Donita Hofstetter: Accounting "I don't think that it's very right, like last year at the end of the term they should of notified you in some way some how because everyone was depending on their money being there like if they had bills they wanted to catch up on or pay, just use the money and it wasn't there.

The next instance of Frohnmayer whining came at the expense of his California-based ad agency, which he blamed for the "strident" (notice the absence of the word "negative") tone of 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. In this case, the messenger got killed Turn to Frohnmayer, p. 4 Alec Shied: Registered Nurse "It takes a lot of time to prepare for things.

"Lane Community College has demons ~rated fiscal responsibility by living within the confines of their existing tax base," said Junction City Mayor Dan Bedore. He also cited LCC's expanding programs and curriculum during this period. "The need for institutions like Lane Community College is evident," he added. "The past -success of Lane Community College in serving Lane County has earned our support." Creswell Mayor Eddie McCluskey said in the past he Also in support of LCC' s tax base, but unable to attend Thursday's press conference, are Lowell Mayor Rick Shoot; Veneta mayor J.W.

Coburg Mayor Carol Heinkel said by phone Thursday night that she is also in support of LCC's tax base. Frohn mayer Cont. from p. 3 has not been "totally supportive" ofLCC.

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.

Weingartner October 19, 1990 The Torch 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. • The next ASLCC Senate meeting will take place in the Boardroom of the Administration Building Oct. 22, at 3 pm. 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 Americans allowed into China in 1971, preceding former National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger and former President Richard Nixon. 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 Center's Silva Concert Hall on Monday, Jan. 21. According to ASLCC Cultural Director Trish Rosewood, Andrew Young, who just lost a bid for governorship of Georgia, and national activist Dick Gregory had also been considered to speak at the MLK Celebration, but both were unavailable on that date.

Burke suggests the best way for students to get involved is to attend one of the many separate project meetings for the four interest groups or to attend the meetings for the project leaders, which are held on Wednesdays at 1l a.m. in the basement of the Center Building. The dates and times for the individual project meetings are as follows: Recycling, Tuesdays at 2:30 p.m. in Room 480; Hunger and Homelessness, Mondays at 2 p.m. in the Center Building basement; Child Care, Wednesdays at 2 p.m. in the Center Building basement; Voter Registration, Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. in the Center Building basement. One final way to start involvement is to stop by· OSPIRG' s temporary office in the ASLCC offices on the fourth floor of the Center Building. "For people who are interested in just one issue, we have meetings for the goals of each group ... and there is a general meeting for people to connect and talk about what our general goal is, which is social change," Burke said. "That's what public interest research groups are all about." , Hostel established in Florence by James M.Jones Torch Staff Writer The new Elder Hostel classes offered through the LCC-Florence campus are fully enrolled and the college is keeping a waiting list for those who would like to enroll, says 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 40 students will provide 1mmed1ate touristincome,and he hopes that some could be "induced" to relocate in the Florence area. Originating at Driftwood Shores and Heceta House, three classes will focus on the . culture, economy, and history of the Oregon coast; the history of the local area; and in the Tai Chi Chuan method for relaxation and recreation. Dick Gale, a U of O sociology instructor, will present the classes on culture and economy, discussing "how coastal communities develop their economic base and how they differ." Scott Steeves, a retired archaeologist, will cover the history classes. He will exami_ne "the basis of why we are where we are, and where we are going." Irving Weiner will lead the relaxation exercises. The U.S. Forest Service will also provide informati~n for a field trip to the Oregon Dunes National Park.

The purpose of the on campus interviews, says Mechanics Department Chair Ted Kotsakis, is "to give everybody (on campus) a chance to see, hear, and get to know the candidates. A chance to give input into the process, to be very participatory in nature." Kotsakis says "It is input from all these individuals (who meet the six finalists) that will determine who makes the final list (of candidates.)" According to him, the six finalists were chosen because "(the search committee) set a minimum for qualifications and experience, these candidates met those Board '11? ,~ , Photo by Erin Naillon INTERIM VICE-PRESIDENT JIM ELLISON qualifications." In the college's notice of vacancy, posted June 22, 1990, the minimal qualifications for the position included: five years of successful full-time postsecondary teaching experience, and five years of successful administrative experience at the department chair level or above. The posted qualifications listed a preference for a doctorate, but stated that candidates with less postgraduate education would be considered. Two finalists, Ellison and Crow, do not have doctoral degrees. In accordance with the college's policy of shared governance, one requirement of the position was "a firm commitment to open communication and shared, consensus-building governance." Ellison says that he is pleased to have been chosen as a finalist. "There's such a selection of people geographically, it's a real compliment to be in with that group of people," says Ellison. He says that the applicants came from all across the U.5., not just Oregon or the West Coast. Ellison called the fact that there were 91 original applicants a "compliment" to LCC. The search committee has set the first of next year as a target deadline for offering the position to a finalist. The calendar for scheduled campus visits is: LCC Interim Vice President of Instruction Jim Ellison, Wednesday, Oct 24; Schmidt, Friday, Oct. 26; Wright, Monday, Oct. 29; Brightman, Friday, Nov. 2; Mitchell, Wednesday, Nov.7; and Crow, Friday, Nov. 9.

In old business, the board decided to postpone a discussion of potential legislative proposals for the Oregon Community College Association until nextmonth' s meeting. In other business: • ASLCC President Michael Omogrosso reported that the ASLCC and the LCC chapter of Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG) assisted in registering nearly 1,200 new voters before the deadline for the November general election. •The first reading for a Drug-Free Workplace Policy mandated by federal regulations was heard. The policy is being prepared by Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator Harvey Bond. The proposed policy was adopted, with an amendment which alters a statement concerning the use of intoxicants and controlled substances. • The board reviewed a request from a local builder for a statement from the college on the need for low-cost housing for students. Members carried a motion to postpone action and meet with the builder (and the college's legal counsel) for discussion before issuing any statements. •The board decided to issue a statement in opposition to Ballot Measure 5, which calls for a limit on property taxes to fund public schools and other government spending.

Sagitarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) : You finally scrape together the money to take your car in for the service it has needed for months.

Capricorn(Dec21-fan19): You volunteer to participate in an experiment. Lane Community College wants to know more about the interaction of visionimpaired students and the college.

Craig considers himself to be environmentally concerned and would like to utilize his students in motion by carolyn smith status as a student senator to contribute to this cause. One of his goals as a senator is to promote recycling on campus. He hopes to see an increase in the number of paper bins on campus. "Students would recycle more paper if there were more bins ~n campus," he says. Craig foresees the added possibility for a recycling system for aluminum cans, as well. Additionally, Craig hopes to address problems with mass transportation by beginning a RideShare program and plans to play a role in negotiations with LTD for a student bus pass, similar to the University of Oregon's where LTD service is included in the price of student fees.

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 Photo by Thatcher Trorrbley Henry Surmeier, Dale Bates, Joe Farmer and Sharon Surmeier honor a former LCC student. 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."

Bates builds 1990 - 91 team from top to bottom by Robert Catalano Torch Sports Editor Dale Bates was looking forward to his (18TH) eighteenth season as LCC Men's Basketball Coach. The he saw the condition of his players when practice began October 8. "The returning lettermen weren't in very good physicai shape and I wasn't able to see a whole lot of pride and desire in 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 we had a barren of apples. If I saw a bad one,Ididn'thesitate to remove it. A prima-donna is the same as a bad apple."

The Titans jumped out to a quick start, winning the first game 15-10,despitetheabsence of offensive star Sharin Armantrout and defensive specialist Becky Bell. Chemeketa scored on nine consecutive service "aces" in game two and went on to defeat the shell-shocked LCC team by identical 15-2 scores in games two and three. "This team is not very gocxl at shaking things off," said Coach Lisa Youngman. "They have a tendency to play tough one game, and then get walked all over in the next." Once the Ti tans recovered from the Chemeketa barrage, they went on to take advantage of their opponents' mistakes and win the fourth game 15-7. LCC's However, inconsistent play returned to haunt the team as they went down easily 4-15 in the final game. "If we would have had Sharin (Armantrout) and Becky (Bell), we probably would have won," explained Youngman. "But we didn't want to risk further injury to either player." Armantrout, who is suffering from a sprained ankle,isexpected toplayin the Titan's next match on Saturday Oct. 20, while Bell's tendonitis leaves her on day-to-day playing status.

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.

"The consolation bracket not only allows a team to score points on a serve," Coach Youngman explained, "but they can also score a point if they force the other team to side-out without scoring." (A "side-out" occurs when the offensive team must give up the serve to the defensive team.) Thriving on this scoring svstem, the Titans didn't let a 13-15 first game loss prevent them from putting away Olympic CC in games two (153) and three (15-12).

The contest offered the winner a scholarship for four years of college if the winner pursued a teaching career.

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. FOR SALE ·.
