Lane Community College November 2, 1990 Eugene, Oregon Vol. 26 No. 7 Hagberg to open rival flight school by Devan C. Wilson Torch Editor Editor's note: this is the fourth installment in a series reviewing the dismissal of Flight Technology Chair Terry Hagberg. The fired chair of the Flight Technology Department and the department's chief flight instructor have taken steps to open a flight school in Corvallis, a move which LCC President Jerry Moskus says may be in violation with the college's policy on conflict of interest. Terry Hagberg, fired last August from his position as department chair following a four-month investigation of the program, and Ron Gustafson have entered into negotiations with Corvallis city officials to open a flight school at the Corvallis Airport, according to airport manager Jack Barrow. In addition, an Oct. 27 article in the Register-Guard reported that Gustafson said he and Hagberg have been actively lobbying for the business of Kawada Industries, the Japanese company which currently pays $1.5 million a year to the LCC Flight Technology Department for the training of Japanese students as helicopter pilots. The Torch couldnotreachHagbergand Gustafson for comment Thursday, Nov. 1. In a press conference held Friday, Oct. 26 at LCC, Moskus read a prepared statement that stated if reports of Hagberg and Gustafson's intentions to open a school in direct competition with LCC were in fact true, "This is a blatant violation of the turn to Hagberg, page 1O Photo by Thatcher Trombley Pretty cool mask, eh Mon?

Assistant to VP accepts presidency in Nebraska by Kelly Egre Torch Staff Writer LCC's assistant to the vice president of instruction has accepted a presidency in the Nebraska community college system. . Judy Dresser will assume the presidency next Jan. 7 for the Hastings campus of Central Community College in Grand Island, Nebraska. Dresser has been with LCC for 14 years. She has served as chair for Home Economics Department, and acting chair photo by Steve McCurrber DR. JUDY DRESSER of the Health and Physical Education Department, and associate dean of instruction. She became assistant to the vice presidentofinstructionin 1988. Dresser says she applied for the presidency after reading about the opening in the Chronicle of Higher Education. While she had also applied for other administrative positions with other colleges, Hastings was the only presidential position for which she applied. "I made a decision to apply for another job for career advancement," says Dresser. "So I did ...and I got it." According to John Dobrovolny, the associate dean of instruction at Hastings, Dresser's application was screened along with 102 other applications. A committee of faculty and staff reviewed the files and narrowed the field to six semi-finalists. Dresser was the only woman. "It's really exciting," Dresser says, "the people there are so nice and it is such a wonderful career opportunity for me." Located in Central Nebraska, the Hastings campus has an enrollment of about 2,300 students. Areas of study focus primarily in vocational trades, such as agriculture, hotel, motel and restaurant management, and dental hygiene. Central CC is nationally acclaimed for what is termed "individualized instruction." Students who do not complete required credits in one area of study during the term ca1, continue work towards these requirements the following term. Inaddition,studentscan begin classes at any point during the term. Second VP of Instruction candidate visits by Mary Browning Torch Associate Editor Dr. Mary Lou Schmidt of Yakima Valley Community College (YVCC), was the second of five semi-finalists for the vice president ·of instruction position to visit LCC. Schmidt's Oct. 26 all-day, oncampus interview included meetings with LCC President Jerry Moskus, faculty, staff, administrators, and students. Schmidt earned a master's degree in education from Washington State University, and a doctorate in Educational Leadership from Seattic University. She has been associate dean of instruction at YVCC since 1981. She describes herself as "an advocate for under-served populations: the poor, women, minorities, and criminal offenders." In her application to the college, Schmidt wrote, "In higher education, the community college is the people's college. Admini-stratively, I have channeled my enthusiasm into providing opportunity to those I characterize as 'the least, the last, and the lost."' She included in her application a pa per titled "Key issues facing photo by John Unger DR. MARY LOU SCHMIDT community colleges," and a list of over 20 grants she wrote and secured since 1987. Schmidt's public speaking record includes such topics as Ii teracy, sexual stereotyping, gender issues, and racial discrimination. At an open meeting with college personnel and students: She described the • departments at YVCC under her direction as the "flaky, soft portions of the academic curriculum, but I do know what academic excellence is." • Schmidt spoke of the college's funding problems and possible budget cuts. "If cuts are made, they turn to Candidate, page 1O L• o,..;,~~#1, t:,, fs\,l.;,trt:0 v a::=: .w -: C)::_I A l . -:-:-: r:u ..

Since assuming the position of LCC president, Moskus has clearly proven that he is a man of great integrity and has demonstrated the type of leadership that many campus officials feel is neccesary to remedy the college's ills. Moskus has faced a number of adversities since March 1: • Last spring' s failed serial levy, coupled with ballot errors by the Lane County Elections Department that may have affected the outcome of the election; • The loss of a top administrator, former Vice President of Instruction Jacquelyn Belcher; • Allegations of improprieties in the Flight Technology Department, which resulted in Moskus' firing of Flight Tech Chair Terry Hagberg; • The recent disclosure of Hagberg and Chief Flight Instructor Ron Gustafson's intentions to open a rival flight school in Corvallis, and their efforts to sway Kawada Industries to discontinue its relations with the college and contract with Hagberg and Gustufson' sown flight school; • A time consuming campaign to pass a $3.5 million tax base that goes before voters in the Nov. 6 General Election, the failure of which would result in LCC cutting $2.3 million to balance the 1991-92 budget. Many of these problems did not originate after Moskus' arrival at LCC. These are problems he inherited from previous administrations. Nonetheless, Moskus has dealt with these obstacles with the utmost of integrity and in doing so has earned the support and' recognition of many campus officials. "In my opinion," says Faculty Union President Jay Marston, "he is the best thing to happen to the college, in terms of leadership, since I've been here (1968)." Mars ton, as well as Jerry Sirois, president of the LCC classified union, Scott Carpenter, chairof the LCC Advocates(a community group of LCC supporters) and Executive Dean Larry Warford, points to Moskus' determination to gather as much information from all affected individuals and groups before making decisions. A case in point is the firing of Hagberg. Before making the decision to implement managerial changes within the Flight Tech Department, Moskus sought all available information, a course of action which included the hiring of a private auditor. Not until all information was gathered did Moskus determine a course of action. These same campus officials also point to Moskus' request of communityinvolvementthrou gh visits to many area civic groups before making the recommendation to the Board ofEducation to seek a tax base increase in this November's election. Moskus has also demonstrated a commitment to meeting student needs. ASLCC President Michael Omogrosso points to Moskus' accessibility and interaction with student groups. InterimVicePresidentoflnstructionJimEllisonpointstoMoskus' determination to meet the needs of students who were unable to obtain desired classes by adding at least 36 new offerings for Winter Term. Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, Moskus has met the greatest challenge he faced coming to LCC: Challenging and changing the college's unwritten policy of autocratic rule, and empowering all constituencies on campus in the process of making desicions.

Jfffllj ktt,a~ Whining Dave To the Editor, In a 10-19-90 Torch column Robert Catalano asserts that, despite the "obvious leaning" of The Register Guard toward his candidacy for governor, Dave Frohnmayer "whined" about the Eugene paper's criticism of one of his negative ads against Barbara Roberts. Catalano is so right. Clearly Frohnmayer has negative to resorted campaigning, complained about "unfair" treatment, and tried to foist the blame off on his California ad agency in an attempt to deflect attention from his sorry record of opposing the rights of ordinary citizens. In the '70s, for example, he advised the University of Oregon on how to a void affirmative action laws. In the '80s he for.t<ed over almost $4 million of the taxpayers' money to East Coast lawyers to thwart equal pay for equal work for Oregon women. He was instrumental in restricting the right of injured workers to choose effective alternative medical care. He trashed traditional First Amendment freedom-of-religion provisions of the Native American Church. And, he supported the destruction of a vital check and balance of our governmental system by favoring limitation of a citizen's right to use the courts to require enforcement offederal environmental laws. In the late '60s, sleazy Spiro Agnew and Richard Nixon stridently accused the media of unfair treatment.I wonderif Frohnmayer will revert to :\ -::::: Richard Nixon style whining (1962 vintage) that the media won't have Dave Frohnmayer to kick around anymore if Barbara Roberts,despite being outspent by a large margin, wins the election.

"Christ, according to the faith, is the second person of the Trinity, _the Father being the first, and the Holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten -just the same before as after. "Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded, from the Father and the Son, but was equal to the Father and the Son before he proceeded, that is to say, before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. "So it is declared that the Father is God and the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost God, and that these three Gods make one God. "According to the celestial multiplication table, once one is three, and three times one is one, and according to heavenly subtraction if we take two from three, three are left. The addition is equally peculiar, if weadd twotoonewehavebut one. Each one is equal to himself and the other two. Nothing ever was, nor ever l can be, more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity." Turn to Letters p.5 Roberts' quick to criticize, provides no new answers Democratic While gubernatorial candidate Barbara Roberts will talk about all the issues, and while she is quick to criticize her main opponents' stands, most of her own solutions aren't much different from those we've heard for years. Responding to KLCC's "Live Wire" Host Alan Siporin on Oct. 24, Roberts' tone imbued an attitude that seems r~spectful and cooperative, unlike Republican candidate Dave Frohnmayer's scholarly, patronizing arrogance. She said, for example, "The legislature can't do anything unless the public helps." Claiming that homelessness is her foremost concern, she said "I'd like to think of every family living in a house that was clean, and not ratinfested, and the plumbing worked, and they could afford to do that and still eat." But the compromising stands that . Roberts takes on homelessness do not deviate enough from the statu_s-quo, or mainstream consuming and complicated. policies that created homeless She does not believe. though, that enough savings could be people in this state .. Admittedly, Roberts does generated through audits to take unique stands at times. offset the need for a sales tax .

Roberts, who john unger served on the Hanford (nuclear) Waste Board, said "There is no place in the U.S. to •asked Roberts: "Why would a Democratic candidate, who,in store nuclear waste. For four federal our time, would care more for the decades government has failed to act the common person, endorse a on that issue, and we continue regressive tax like the sales tax to pile up nuclear waste with instead of the other obvious option, the state income tax, no place to store it at all."

Butwhen one caller on Siporin' s program expressed concern over conditions fostered by drugwar hysteria that potentially allow the authorities to target whom they may choose to investigate, Roberts did not address her concerns.

Mobley, the conservative and gubernatorial independent candidate, is throwing a monkeywrench into the Republican machine and party leaders fear he will draw enough votes away from their candidate, Dave Frohnmayer, to allow a victory for Democrat Barbara Roberts. Many of those votes will be from conservatives and anti-abortionists. The official Republican County Committees in Lane, Jackson and Yamhill counties have decided not to support Frohnmayer' s candidacy. In Columbia County, party leaders have announced their support of Mobley. Many mainstream conservatives within the party have questioned the legitima-cy of Frohnmayer' s "Republican" label. Mobley daimed he left the Republican Party to nm an independent campaign because, "the Republican Party did not run a Republican" for governor. party other and Mobley commentary by robert catalano conservatives, in questioning to allegiance Frohnmayer' s Republican values, point out that although the Republican Party platform in Oregon includes an antiabortion plank, Frohnmayer is basically a "pro-choice" candidate. To prevent dissident Republicans from "having a forum" to express with dissatisfaction their Frohnmayer's candidacy, Oregon Craig Chairman Republican Berkman rescheduled a meeting of the party's central committee from Sep. 28-29 until after the election. Berkman expressed concern that Mobley supporters would "hurt the party's chances" by turning the meeting into a "free-for-all." Basically, Mobley began his campaign with the single issue of abortion but conservatives are also drawn to Mobley because of his aversion to new taxes and his support of state funding for families choosing to send their children to private schools. Frohnmayer, on the other hand, supports a sales tax and has what many conservatives feel is a nonRepublican, middle-of-the-roa d stance on other issues concerning taxation. He also has not taken a definitive stance on Ballot Measure 11 (in favor of school choice), much to the ire of these same conservatives. Mobley, in agreement with many conservative voters, also opposes anti-discriminatio n gay rights control, firearms legislation, centralized land use programs such as the Lane County Development Commission, and using public funds to subsidize mass-transit systems. He also has taken a strong stand against the recycling initiative (Ballot Measure 6). Mobley is also running as a candidate who offers voters a change from the "professional politicians" who have been "bleeding Oregon taxpayers for years." Mobley claims that Roberts and Frohnmayer do not offer Oregon voters a clear choice at the polls because the two candidates' differences of opinion are so slight. When commenting on the headFrohnmayer-Rob erts to-head debate at Pacific University in October, Mobley said, "It is a continuation of a farce that there is actually a debate going on. There is no debate there." Al Mobley may not be the next governor of Oregon, but his appeal to the state's conservative and dissatisfied independent voters may well determine who is. Homosexuals accepted, but not condoned The ongoing disagreement between heterosexuals and homosexuals is as old as civilization itself. Yet these questions still remain: Are people who choose to live with and intimately love an individual of the same sex immoral or in some way wrong? Also, is it right to discriminate against these people? From the varying opinions of LCC's religious counselors to the co-directors of the LCC Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GALA), it is clear we are making progress enough so that all persons involved feel no one should be discriminated against. As to the issue of morality, there are still differences of opinion. Penny Berktold, an Episcopal deacon who voluntarily coordinates a Wednesday _free lunch program, responds to the question, "it is wrong to be gay?" with a quote from the Wolfenden Report, a study done in England during the 1950s on that very question: Letters "Whatever two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home is their business." She stresses the key words here ~ consenting and adult . . Her main concern is riot to force one's beliefs on others and she feels it is wrong to discriminate against others. The Episcopal Church's current stand on the issue, as recently stated by the Right Rev. Ed Browning at the Episcopal Church's general convention in Denver Colo., is: "There will be no outcast from the Episcopal Church." However, he also took the stand,"If you are a practicing homosexual, you will not be ordained into priesthood." Campus Chaplain Father James Dieringer agrees that nobody should discriminate against anyone else, although, if someone were wishing to become a member of the Roman Catholic church, his church has certain standards to uphold. "The Catholic Church," he says, "considers sexual activity out of wedlock a sin. It is wrong." People who are gay would not be allowed to be members of the Catholic Church because the church doesn't allow people of the same sex to marry, Die~nger says. James Sanders, director of the Baptist Student Union, says his views on the subject are related to his interpretation of the word passed on through the Bible. Says Sanders, "Scripture presents homosexuality as a choice that is in opposition to God's will for our lives. It is an act of disobedience to God. "God has certain spiritual laws. When they are broken there are consequences, being the homosexual person's relationship with God and others is hurt." He said he doesn't feel it is right to discriminate, but, he wouldn't go as far as to say gay ~ople deserve equal rights such as other groups like racial minorities. GALA co-director Steve Moore counters the issue of the from the heart jim jarboe on teachings Bible's homosexuality by saying, "When the New Testament was rewritten back in the twelfth century A.O. by the six councils who rewrote it, they edited out the part that waswrittenbywom enand part that referred to the morality of homosexuality." He feels the golden rule from the Bible, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," clearly implies people should accept people for who they are and respect their choice of sexual preference. Laura Rodgers, also a codirectorofGALA,fe elsitisnot in any way immoral to be gay. "How is it wrong to have a relationship with someone you love," she says. The conclusion I draw trom my research is everyone can agree that discrimination is wrong, but what is disputed is the question of morality. Thf> Episcopal Church would alfow homosexuals to be members but not priests. The Catholic Church and the BaptistChurch saygaypeoplecana ttend their churches but not become members. I don't feel every one has to be admitted to a social group or church but I feel homosexuals should be protected as other citizens in other areas of life employment, housing, child care, everything other citizens as granted for take constitutional rights. To extend these rights to the homosexual community does not necessarily condone their lifestyles. It merely erases of chapter another discrimination from our history. continued from page 2 Let's stop martyring the intellects of people on the al tars of Faith! Bert P. Tryba Save the cans To the Editor, I read Mary Brownint Column "And Anotherthing..." in the Oct. 19 issue. I never got her point, due to deleted sentences, but I'm glad she brought up the subject. I've been disturbed to see so many cans thrown into the trash barrels, to end upin~mralready full landfills. I think it's a great idea to put empty cans in an accessible spot, be it on a planter, beside trash barrels, or in any suitable high-traffic place. There are plenty of people who will retrieve these cansfortheS cent deposit, thus ensuring they will be recycled. The extra money is a useful addition to a student's budget. Please don't dump cans into trash barrels. Some people are willing to pick out the top layer of cans, but those buried in garbage are wasted forever. Thomas O'Shaughnessy LCC student Vote Mobley To the Editor, Making a decision for a choice for governor is easy in 1990 - Al Mobley. All the important issues like taxes, education, jobs, land use, etc., are addressed. Of course, the one issue the media highlights, earmarking him as a one issue candidate, is his stance against abortion. And yes, Al Mobley is the only candidate who considers the irrefutable facts and reality that abortion is the killing of an unborn human being. And yes, the most important issue is that of our humanity and how we treat our fellow human beings . . . pre-born, the aged, and everyone in between. A CLEAR CHOICE FOR EUGENE Our two Democratic votes go for Al Mobley for governor. We strongly urge pro-life, proed uca tion, pro-meters of strong land ownership rights and anti-sales tax supporters to cast their vote for Al Mobley.

The students and staff of the Renaissance Room prepared and served their first meals of the term on Oct. 10. The dining room was busy, and some students had "sore feet" at the end of the day, according to Jeanne Hubbard, Renaissance Room aide. The Deli and Renaissance Room are open two days a week this year, as opposed to three days a week last year. According to Willie Kealoha, coordinator of the Culinary, Food Service, and Hospitality Program, the change was made so that instructors could "spend more time dealing with students individually in the kitchen," and devote more attention to the learning process. Enrollment in the program has "declined steadily over the last six years," adds Hubbard.

Located in Buford Park, the pedestal sculpture was commissioned by Ken and Faye Kesey in 1984 in memory of their son, Jed, and his teammate, Lorenzo West, who both died in an accident involving a van carrying the University of Oregon wrestling team. According to Helzer, the pedestal features a surface relief map of the area visible from Mt. Pisgah - from Cottage Grove to Coburg and from Lowell to Fern Ridge and has names and elevations for prominent geographic features. Standing 40 inches tall, the sculpture is supported by three five-sided columns, which have depictions of the geologic history of Oregon over the last two million years. "We thought it would be interesting for the students to see the process" that Helzer used in designing and constructing the sculpture, says LCC Gallery Director/ Art CAMPUS m ~~ m -1~ 111 iii ii MINISTRY m Need a friendly ear?

Helzer says he spent two years interviewing scientists and studying geology to prepare for building the sculpture.

And yet its fame endures. Now, 50 years later, "Fantasia" is again in theaters, in a print that has been lovingly restored. "Fantasia" is not a typical Disney film. It has no plot and consists of short animated films set to classical symphonic works. Each section is, in its breathtaking images and glorious sounds (brilliantly conducted by Leopold Stokowski), delightful, and dark by turns. I would be hard pressed to name a favorite, for they are all artistically awesome. They are also, two decades before the word entered the language, extraordinarily psychedelic. Sure, it will be out on video •soon enough, but I urge everyone to see "Fantasia" on the big screen. It is a fully enjoyable and memorable experience.

This type of competition usually insures a faster paced game than the traditional kind of ice hockey, because interruptions due to penalties and fights are much less common.

Adam Mathusala Dear Adam, Awkward is when you attend a party with a date from your divorce adjustment group and discover each of your exspouses there as a couple. Awkward is when your daughter has somehow looked at a copy of the Kamasutra and now has a few questions for you. Awkward is an attack of gas during church. But should you feel awkward about being an older student at LCC? Well, keep these things in mind. The oldest student at Lane Community Collegeisveryold and the youngest is very young. The average age is very average. And most importantly, almost everyone her~ respects the fact that we are here as students to better our lives by increasing our knowledge, and respect is a superlative foundation from which to bridge the differences between us. Dr.D continued from page 1 college's policy on conflict of interest and cannot be tolerated. The college is investigating this matter and will take appropriate and decisive action." Moskus said college policy prohibits employees from using their position at LCC to make money for themselves beyond their regular salary and other payments from the college. Moskus declined to answer questions on the matter, citing the possibility of litigation and the requirements of Oregon personnel statutes, but said in the prepared statement that the college "will 'My committment is to protect the interests of the institution.' LCC President Jerry Moskus do everything possible to protect the taxpayers who support this college from activities contrary to their best interests or the best interests of the college." "My commitment is to protect the interests of the institution," he said. "I want to assure the public that the college has done everything in its power to retain the contract (with Kawada)." Tommy Naritomi, Kawada' s general manager in Costa Mesa, Calif., confirmed Thursday that Hagberg and Gustafson have been in contact with Kawada concerning obtaining the Japanese firm's business once the new flight school is established. According to Naritomi, Kawada is seriously considering discontinuing relations with LCC and Hagberg and Gustafson's plans to open a rival flight school may influence Kawada's decision. "We know what they are doing and we know what they have done in the past," Naritomi said. "We are seeing what type of institution will take place (under Hagberg and Gustafson's management)."
