Students aid in depot restoration

Twelve Construction Technology students spent
every Tuesday from fall term, 1989, to spring term,
1990, learning by doing as they aided the Springfield
Depot Foundation in the restoration of the 98-yearold building.
The National Register of Historic Places will add
the Springfield Railroad Depot to its list of historic

buildings this spring .
"It was a hell of a neat project for us," says Carl
Horstrup, Industrial Technology Department chair.
"It's not often we get the students involved with
restoring a historic structure."
Says Construction Technology student Joe
Waggoner, "It was good experience because we got
to see the project from the architect's point of view."
Southern Pacific Railroad donated the depot to

Kawada Industries, which has a contract with
LCC to train Japanese students as helicopter pilots,
has terminated its contract with the college effective
Dec. 1.
Kawada General Manager Tommy Naritomi
said in a letter received Tuesday by LCC President
Jerry Moskus that the Japanese firm was
withdrawing from its contract with the college
due to "recent events."
On Thursday, Naritomi said the primary factor
in Kawada's decision was the dismissal of Terry
Hagberg as department chair. Hagberg was fired
following an extensive four-month audit of the
Flight Technology Department which alleged
studentfavoritism,staffintimidation,andstudents
flying in some aircraft not certified as air-worthy.
Naritomi also said Thursday that Kawada is
seriously considering contracting with a new flight
school which Hagberg and Chief Flight Instructor
Ron Gustafson propose to establish in Corvallis.
Hagberg and Gustafson have filed for corporate
status under the name Avia Flight Services.
Moskus said in the Nov. 14 LCC Board of
Education meeting that Kawada's decision to
abandon its affiliation with LCC Dec. 1 is in
violation with the terms of the contract between
the Japanese firm and the college, which requires
three months notice of termination.
However, Moskus is recommending to the
Board of Education that the college not seek legal
action against Kawada unless it can prove financial
liability.
Board member Chuck Ivey, however, said that
a "contract is a contract," and that Kawada should
fulfill its end of the bargain which requires three
months notice of termination. He agreed to go

Lonsdale leaves legacy
despite Hatfield's win
Eighteenmonthsago,MarkHatfield was sitting comfortably
in his senatorial ivory tower looking down on Oregonians as
faithful constituents who would tum out in throngs to re-elect
him to another six years in office.
He was content because he knew his aura of invincibility had
put fear into the hearts of his most likely challengers-Oregon
Congressmen Ron Wyden, Les AuCoin, and Peter Defazio.
Then, along came unheralded Bend businessman Harry
Lonsdale -- with nearly $750,000 of his own money -- and the
walls almost tumbled down.
Not only was the senior senator from Oregon forced to enter
the field of battle, he was bloodied by his own hands and from
those of his opponent.
Oregonians, sleepy from subtle congressional maneuvering
and stale speeches about morality, were awakened from their
malaise by Lonsdale' s courage.
They listened to Lonsdale's tales of doom about what might
happen if their old-growth forests continued to disappear into
the green wads of paper lining the pockets of special interest
groups that curried Hatfield's favor.
They cheered for Lonsdale when he pointed a finger at the
moneychangers and said, "I will not accept contributions from
PACs."
And, according to Oregon polltakers, they called for Hatfield's
head when he refused to respond.
When Harry Lonsdale appeared on the verge of victory with
the support of thousands of Oregonians, Mark Hatfield counterattacked.
He said that Harry Lonsdale was poisoning them; Harry
Lonsdale believed the common people made too much money;
Harry Lonsdale was not experienced enough to lead them.
Worst of all, Hatfield said, Harry Lonsdale had supported the
free speech of the Baghwan of Antelope, a godless infidel.
Oregonians began to have doubts.
Some -who were not swayed by Hatfield's words or tactics
- still supported Lonsdale. But the majority began to cheer for
the man in the ivory tower.
In the end, Harry Lonsdale went back to Bend knowing he
had fought a good fight and Oregonians gainedfrom the appearance of Harry Lonsdale on the political field of battle.
No longer will Oregonians' words go into one of Mark
Hatfield' sears and outthe other; never again will Mark Hatfield
show his indifference to the needs of Oregonians by devoting his
attentions solely to special interest groups (nor will other
qualified candidates let themselves be intimidated by an
incumbent's aura of invincibility).
The tale of Harry Lonsdale is not one of woe.
It is possible that another man of Lonsdale' s drive and determination (and personal bank account) will once again lead
Oregonians into battle.
His candidacy awakened Oregonians, and created a legacy of
fresh air and democratic ideals in Oregon politics, which will
hopefully carry over until the end of time.
Or at least until 1992.

Asian fleets: scourge of the sea
There is a new scourge in the sea. It's called
complacency, and you and I are the purveyors.
Once-great salmon runs up the Columbia are
being decimated, dolphins and other mammals
are dying, and the mainstay of the fishing
industry is disappearing. What is the evil that
has caused our loss? It's called monofilament
net. It is killing our oceans at such an alarming
rate, that a true state of ~mergency is being
declared from Mexico to the Arctic Sea.

struggle to get out.

The Asian fishing fleets employ this
monofilament to ostensibly fish for squid and
other floating molluscs, but in reality they fish
for salmon and other high profit fish. Their
monofilament nets indiscriminately catch all
species, and in the process even ensnare water
fowl and mammals. Trapped dolphins and
whales only secure themselves further by their

length. When the net breaks, huge swaths of
invisible, floating materials continue to fish the
sea forever, because monofilament doesn't
biodegrade. It will sit on the surface until it is
full and then slowly sink. Once the animals rot
off the net, it rises to the top again. The process

To the Editor,
The Nov. 2 issue of the Torch
contained an article titled
"Homosexuals accepted but
not condoned," by staff writer
Jim Jarboe.
LCC-GALA (Gay and
Lesbian Alliance) Co-Director
Laura Rodgers and myself
consented to this interview in
the hope of educating the
student body and the
community on the aim and
purpose of LCC-GALA.
Unfortunately, LCC-GALA
was never mentioned, our
issues of concern were never
given attention, and once again,
readers were subjected to more
rhetoric concerning homo-,
hetero-, and bi-sexuality and
their relative separate stances.
In short, the article reported
nothing we haven't all heard
before.

Conference gears student leaders for direct action
At a two-year school like
LCC, by the time most students
have figured out how to get
involved with an issue that
concerns them, they ha veeither
completed a program or
migrated to a four-year school.
In response, eleven LCC
students, including ASLCC
members, attended an
intensive training session
sponsored by The United States
Student Organization (USSA).
USSA sponsors workshops
focusing on teaching student
leaders the techniques of
organizing to take direct action
on issues.
This session, held Nov. 9-11
atOregonState University, was
geared towards energizing
student leaders, strengthening
organizations, and winning
campaigns.
The intent of these sessions,
according to USSA, is to give
students a sense of their own
power, to enable them to win

concrete victories, and
ultimately to change the
relations of power.
The eleven LCC students of
multiple ethnicities, who were
among approximately 50
people who survived the
weekend, were the largest
representation of any college
in the state - even though
USSA ranks Community
Colleges ninth on its list of Top
Ten Priority Issues.

permitted those present to
experience parts of the process.

Coffee, tea, and other beverage
consumers on the LCC campus have
chosen polystyrene (known by the
brand name Styrofoam) cups over
paper cups at a rate of three-to-one
since the choice became available to
+hem last year.

When the college considered a
possible change, Tegge urged it to
"provide people with options, and give
them what they want." He says he
doesn't want to "force something on
people by eliminating the polystyrene
choice completely."

Complaints about polystyrene use
on campus, and concerns about its
environmental impact, prompted
college officials to make paper as well
as polystyrene cups available.

On the average day, LCC's Food
Service Department serves 3,000
customers, who use 1,000 to 1,100
polystyrene cups, and 300 to 400 paper
cups each day, according to Tegge.

Complaints have "almost totally died
down since LCC began offering people
a choice of cups last year," says Bob
Tegge, Food Services manager.
However, one complaint he often hears
now concerns paper cups, and how

In September of 1990, LCC tor the
first time invited bids from companies
offering products made of recycled
materials. "We will continue to accept
such bids," says Lloyd Rain, director of
Purchasing.

Board of Education members are
"highly supportive of recycling on
campus, and of products made from
recycled materials," reports Rain.
Tegge says at current market prices,
polystyrene cups cost about $10 per
thousand, while paper cups cost
between $20 and $45 per thousand,
depending on the cup style. The Food
Service Operation increased coffee
prices on campus by 5 cents a cup last
year to compensate for the higher cost
of paper, according to Tegge.

Styrofoam cups are chosen over paper
cups in the LCC cafeteria by a margin of
three-to-one.

Vice President of Student Services
Bob Marshall has been directed by the
Board of Education to present a study
and recommendations about the issue
within the next 12 months. This
information will help the board to
determine whether a total ban of
polystyrene on campus is feasible.

Frishberg got her involved -in
hunger and homelessness
projects, and in an ASLCC
treasurer assistant role. "He

fondly.
Rodgers would like to see
more student interest and

arena, starting with student
government. "If students
would come and tell (ASLCC
officers) what they' re thinking,
they would enable us to be
more effective." She invites

Rodgers.

She likes the idea of equal

have self-governance. As long
as we don't go hog-wild, and
we're

ourselves, we do very well."
Being involved politically in
the future is also a strong
possibility for Rodgers
personally. "Politics hits your
blood and stays there." She says
she is considering careers as a
civil rights attorney or an
English/ foreign language
instructor.
"I'm in (politics) for a better
life for my daughter, other
students, special interests
groups, and just the
community in general." Her
philosophy of life is simple and
logical: "As long as you're
happy and you're not hurting
anybody else, you should live
your life how you want to live
your life."

that I've paved the way for

The Torch

Monofilamentisillegalin the U.S., but Asian
fleets illegally fish in U.S. waters. The Coast
Guard chases them away- when it can find
them - so their nets often remain to ghost fish
our territorial waters. Congress has been
reluctant to censure the governments of these
fleets because they are our allies, but these allies
are in effect supporting high seas pirates. In the
past this kind of piracy would have been dealt
with properly and the criminals would have
been punished. Now the government is
unwilling to take the proper steps. It is up to us

to persuade them.
If we exert enough pressure on our elected
officials, it might not be too late to save sea life.
It'snotjustenvironmental, it's also commercial.
We are allowing a major northwest industry to
die, and in the process allowing the salmon runs
on the great Columbia to reduce to endangered
levels. Hundreds of thousands of jobs will be
lost. We cannot allow the rape of our seas to
continue. If everyone on the West Coast wrote
one letter to Congress, if we ended our
complacency, if we just gave a damn, then we
could save our sea life. It has to be now. It has to
be you.

The board determined that any decision should be held over until the
financial impact of the termination of the contract is evaluated.
Although college officials regret the loss of Kawada's business,
they estimate thatthe Japanese firm's withdrawal will have a minimal
financial effect on the college. According to Moskus, funds generated
through the con tract paid the costs to trainJa panese students who will
now be absent from the program.
The department will continue to offer both helicopter and fixedwing instruction, Interim Vice President of Instruction Jim Elision said
Nov. 15. He added that the college will seek new training partnerships
similar to the Kawada arrangement, and said in fact that LCC is
currentlyinvolvedinpreliminarynegotitationswithamajoraeronautics

Ina Nov. 15 The Register Guard report, Hagberg said he believes the
college can still operate a reputable t11ght teen program wm1uul
maintaining the Kawada contract, but disagrees that the Japanese
fin.,' s tennination of the contract will have limited financial impact.
He said the Kawada contract g~nerates up_ to $300,000 annually
above and beyond the cost to train Japanese students, which the
college reinvests in the program.
However, Ellison disputes the monetary figure reported by Hagberg.
"That's not true," he says.
According to Ellison, preliminary information from annual college
department audits shows $149,000 available for reinvestment.
"That's fixed-wing, plus helicopters, so (funds generated for
reinvestment by the Kawada contract is) no where near $300,000," he
says.
In a related matter, Moskus said Nov. 15 that an investigation
concerning violations by Hagberg and Gustafson of rules governing
conflict ofinterestis continuing. Moskus announced the investigation
last month after Hagberg and Gustafson revealed plans to open a rival
flight school.
The Register-Guard reported Nov. 15 that several helicopter
instructors are expected to resign from the department and go to work
for Avia. InterimFlightTech ChairBobFarrandsaidNov.15, however,
that he has received no resignations from helicopter instructors, and
that in a Nov. 13 helicopter instructor meeting no one expressed an
intent to defect to Avia.

Marshall named to VP post
Fills Student
Services role on
permanent basis
by Chris Prather
Torch Staff Writer

The LCC Board ofEducation
officially named Robert "Bob"
Marshall as Vice President of
Student Services at the Oct. 17
LCC Board of Education
meeting.
Marshall, formerly LCC' s
Director of Admissions,
became interim vice-president
of Student Services in 1988 after
Jack Carter was named interim
president. A term of office that
was supposed to be seven
months became two years
when certain deadlines with
the presidential search were
changed and Carter decided to
retire in March of this year.
Until Carter announced his
retirement, Marshall says, he
had been under the impression
that he would return to his
position in Admissions when
a president was found and
Carter returned to his post.
After Carter's retirement, an
internal search was conducted
to fill the vacant VP position.
Marshall and one other person
applied for the position.
According to LCC President
Jerry Moskus, Marshall was
chosen because of his "wealth
of experience" and because he
indicated a commitment to
shared governance.
"I like my position very
well," comments Marshall.

On the other hand, Vivarin gives you the definite advantage. It helps

Prior to restoration, the historic Springfield Railroad Deopt was showing its age of 98 years. The
depot was moved from its original sight near the Booth-Kelly Mill to the corner of South A Street
and Pioneer Parkway West.

the City of Springfield on the
condition it be moved from its
original locationadjacentto the
Booth-Kelly mill. LCC
students dismantled interior
walls and the chimney to
prepare the depot for moving.
The students replaced the
sills and beams ruined by dry
rot after the depot was moved
to its new location at the corner
of South A Street and Pioneer
Parkway West. Once they
restored the foundation of the
building, they rebuilt the
interior walls.

According to Horstrup, the
Industrial
Technology
Department looks for such
publicly owned, non-profit
construction projects to give
the students on-the-jobtraining. 'We don't want to
compete
wih
private
companies for construction
jobs," explainsHorstrup. "We
look for jobs that we can
handle."
Both Horstrup and Hal
Davis,
Construction
Technology
Program
instructor, review each

prospective project before
committing LCC. Once they
commit the college to a job, the
owner supplies the materials
and the students provide the
labor. Any project selected for
the program provides on-thejob training for students that
complements their classroom
instruction.
The City of Springfield
funded moving the depot, and
the Springfield
Depot
Foundation, a nonprofit
organization, oversaw and
funded the restoration.

Michael Crow, the last of five semi-finalists to be interviewed
for the vice president of instruction post, visited campus Friday,
Nov.9
Crow, academic dean at Oakland Community College in
Farmington Hills, Mich., toured the campus, and met with
college personnel and students.
Crow has a master's degree in history from the University of
California at Riverside and has completed all but the dissertation
of a doctorate in history from the University of California at
Irvine.
During his on-campus visit:
• Crow placed an emphasis on information being presented
in an easily accessible form to as many people as possible.
It's important for anyone involved in decision making in
education to have "objective, clear information," said Crow. If
all participants involved in decision making have correct and
adequate information, then there will be true shared governance,
he said.
• Crow said that he feels students are "absolutely" a part of
the shared governance process. "If I had my way, I'd have a
student on every deliberative group in the institution," he said.
However, he said that he feels students are often intimidated by
administrators and faculty.
One way, said Crow, to be certain that students have a voice
in institutional governance is to poll the students to assess their
opinions, perception, and reactions.
• Intema tional eel ucation, said Crow, is more than just sending
students abroad. He said he felt that it was important for foreign
students to study in the U.S. He emphasized the need for person
to person exchanges on the international level. "We are a global
village," said Crow. "We need to teach that."
• Crow questioned LCC's evaluation of the needs of its
students. Most community college students, he said, need to
take classes at non-traditional times, yet night and weekend
classes make up only 10 percent of LCC' s class offerings. "There
is dissonance between the apparentmission of the comprehensive
community college and the scheduling of classes at LCC," he
said.
• A college needs to assess its mission and the core that it will
offer before it can begin the budget cutting process, said Crow,
to determine what is the "essential part of the mission of the
institution."
Crow was selected, along with semi-finalists Jim Ellison and
Dr. Richard Brightman, as a finalist for the vice president's
position. (See related story, page 1.)

Students' defaults could endanger loan programs
by Joe Ki_mzey
for the Torch

Defaulting on student
loans could put both the
National Perkins and federal
Guaranteed Student Loan
(GSL) programs in jeopardy,
according to an article by
Thomas J. DeLoughary in a
recent Chronicle of Higher
Education.
In addition, defaulting on
loans can cause unnecessary
hassles for studen ts, according
to Linda DeWitt, associate
director of Financial Aid.
The United States House of
Representatives and the U.S.
Senate are considering
legislation that could bar a
school from student loan
programs if the school exceeds
a 35 percent default rate for
three consecutive years,
according to DeLoughary.
LCC' s Perkins Loan
programand theGSL program
are not in jeopardy "at this
time," according to DeWitt.

Both could be in the future,
however, if LCC student
default rates rise too high.
LCC' s default rate currently is
11.28 percent for Perkins and
22 percent for GSL. 'We're
working hard to keep (the
default rate) under control,"
explains DeWitt.
In fact, DeWitt says, the
Supplementary Student Loan
program was not offered in the
1989 /90school year to students
at LCC due to an unacceptable
default rate of over 30 percent.
LCC is responsible for the
loaning, and the collection of
money from the Perkins loan.
The Federal Government is
responsible and liable for all
GSLs, whichareusually loaned
through a bank, according to
DeWitt.
A student who qualifies for
and accepts financial aid
usually gets loans at some point
in his or her college career.
Defaulting on loans means
failing to make repayments
after leaving school. When this
happens, there can be

consequences, including a bad
credit rating for the student,
according to DeWitt.
The federal government
could garnish wages from a
student's paycheck to pay for

the loan, or deny income tax
refunds for the same purpose,
according to DeWitt.
DeWitt says that there is a
way to avoid defaulting. A
student who is unable to pay

back loans because of a
personal crisis has the option
of talking to the lender (LCC
and I or bank) and working out
an alternative payment
schedule.

Nickelson says the season went pretty well considering it was
his first year as coach.
"Derek Lynn and Thadd Welsh had nagging injuries for most
of the year. We also lost Glen McGuire - who we expected to
lead the team-for the entire year, due to a leg injury."
The prospects for the 1991 season appear bright to Nickelson.
''We are going to take a week off and then start up again to
prepare for the indoor season and next spring. I think it's very
possible for us to take next year's (NWAACC) regionals."

Exercise bicycle for paraplegics arrives at LCC
by Robert Catalano

The machine also helps to regulate
the erratic blood pressure some paraplegics experience.

Torch Sports Editor

A revolutionary machine designed
to stimulate the muscle tone of persons
paralyzed by spinal injuries arrived at
LCC on Nov. 7.
A donation from Eugene resident
Jack Jackson allowed the Health and
P.E. Department to purchase the machine from Providence Hospital in
Everett, Wash.
"They (Providence staff) had other
offers to sell the machine but they
wanted it to go someplace where more
than just a few people would have
access to it," says Correctives Program
Director Dr. Susan Burch.
The REGYS 1, according to Dr. Burch,
is basically an "exercise bike for paraplegics."
The bicycle, developed by Dr.Jerold
PetrofskyofWrightState University in
Dayton,Ohio, uses functional electronic
stimulation to restore muscle tone and
produce muscle mass.
"Increased muscle tone helps (paraplegics) to look good and feel better
and it builds up muscle around the
bone," continues Dr. Burch. This will
prevent sores from developing in those
persons who are confined to a wheel
chair."

Dr, Burch says that muscle development via the REGYS 1 occurs in two
phases.
"At first, anyone using the machine
must take 12 weeks of surface stimulation to the quadriceps muscles. After
that, we stimulate the hamstrings and
gluteals."
The electric shocks can cause problems for some users of the machine and
others will not be able to use the machine at all, explains Dr. Burch.
"Those with osteoporosis (softening
of the bones) and others who are not
able to stretch their tendons cannot use
the REGYS 1. Also, the electric shocks
canincreasemusclespasticityandcause
severe contractures (muscles tightening)."
According to brochures from the
company that markets the REGYS 1,
Therapeutic Technologies Incorporated, the machine is a tool for paralyzed people to "keep themselves in
shape for what may come tomorrow."
Tomorrow may already be here.
A radical form of spinal cord surgeryis currently being tested outside of

the United States.
"A Dr. Kao is doing a surgery involving nerve grafts," Dr. Burch says.
"He is transplanting neurons (from
other parts of the body) into the spinal
cord in the hopes of regenerating
movement."

At present, Dr. Burch explains further, the surgery has produced a 5-80%
return of movement for some patients.
"The REGYS 1 offers lots of hope",
says Dr. Burch. "Some of my students
say that even if they never walk again,
they at least want to look good."

The image of a weight room
full of slobbering, spitting,
grunting, and muscle-bound
males is slowly fading away,
says LCC Weight Training Instructor Kurt Schultz. In fact,
Schultz says the weight-training classes are currently thirty
percent female. "The female
students are more willing to
comeintotheweightroomthan
before."
LCC's weight room is "not
just for people who want to
'bulk up' and develop the
body frame of a professional
football player," claims
Schultz. "The weight room can
be used for other types of fitness." This appears to be the
reason the weight room is attracting more females, he
speculates.
The weight training course
offered by the Physical Education Department has become
the "most popular'' form of
athletic training on campus
over the past few years, and
not just for athletes.
There is definitely more of a
realization that you can do
things in the weight room other
than add muscle mass,"
Schultz says. "You can trimup, tone-up and condition
yourself without bulking up.
Most females don't wish to
bulk up."
All the classes are full, says
Schultz. In fact, some are more
than full, posing a potential
safety hazard.

Schultz says that supervised
weight training is one of the
best forms of fitness. However, he recommends that students should supplement
weight training with some kind
of cardiovascular exercise, such
as jogging, biking or swimming.

Todd Gillette works out on machine recently acquired by LCC.

In order to accommodate
high numbers of students who
wish to lift weights, the department has increased all
classes to 45 or more people.

"We completely filled all our
classes, Monday to Friday from
8 to4," Schultz adds. "We also
have all the varsity and intramural sports coming in after 5

He says that working with
weights offers several benefits
to those who are willing to take
the activity seriously. It enhances muscle tone, muscle
endurance, muscle strength,
overall flexibility, and can add
overall mass. "It (weight training) gives you the ability to do
your every day activities with
less fatigue," Schultz explains.
Weight training student Lori
Harrison says that she has
developed more than muscle
tone in the class.

"After I had my kids, my
husband would tell me I was
fat. My self-esteem really
dropped," Harrison explains.
"Weight-lifting has not only
put me in better shape physically, but also spiritually."
Schultz recommends that
those who are considering
starting a weight training program lift at least three days a
week. He says, "The body
needs a little time to recover
from the strain of lifting
weights." Serious lifters are
involved in the activity five to
six days a week. "Some of the
more serious lifters do their
lower bodies one day and their
upper bodies another day,"
Schultz says. "They're still
giving the muscles a rest, yet
lifting every day."
"When you lift weigh ts and
work out, you begin to feel
better about yourself," adds
Harrison. "When you feel better about yourself, others will
also treat you better."

Airbrushing as an art form has advanced
greatly over the last century.
According to Richard Ahlstrom, assistant
to Airbrush instructor Rosco Wright,
airbrushing began in the early part of the
century as a method of touching up
photographs. Its uses have evolved over the
years to include commercial art and graphic
design. With its evolution as an art form,
newer tools and accessories have been
developed, designed for better performances
and improved art work.
"Tools were very primitive (then),
compared to what we have now," says
Ahlstrom.
An airbrush is a type of a tornizer operated
by compressed air, and sprays liquid paint.
Traditional airbrushes contain aluminum
parts that are often damaged. However, the
new airbrush design replaces fragile metal
airbrushes with a durable plastic. The plastic
weighs less and is contoured to fit the hand
more comfortably. In addition, the plastic
airbrush is paint resistant, and allows more

painting time between cleanings.
Airbrush accessories have also improved
in recent years. The airbrush ink used by
painters today is more flexible than those
previously used. "It doesn't crack or chip as
much," says Wright. The paint allows for
finer lines and freer flow, adds Ahlstrom.
Frisket film is another important accessory
to the airbrush painter. It is a flexible plastic
film which has a sticky backing and is often
used as a stencil material. It is p1aced over the
artwork, with the artist cutting away
unwanted parts of the film to allow an image
to be sprayed on. "Frisket film is used when
you want to get a good razor-sharp edge,"
says Wright.
Primarily used in commercial art,
airbrushing is finding its way into the regular
fine arts, says Ahlstrom. He says the attraction
is that its fast, easy, and very versatile.
An increasing amount of instructional
literature and videos are now available for
the airbrush enthusiast. Wright says,
however, that many of the videos do not
capture the fascination of "hands on"
painting. For Wright, the feeling of airbrush
painting cannot be explained in a book. "It
hypnotizes you," he says.

They'restrange,nearlynude
figures. Both dead and alive,
human and non-human,
moving and still, they peer
your

subconscious at you and
somehow stir you to
overwhelming emotion. They
belong to a five man Japanese
Dance Troupe called Sankai
juku, and they will perform at
theHultCenter, Tuesday Nov.
27, in Unetsu-The Egg Stands

Out of Curiosity.
The group performs in the
genre of Bu toh, a performance
made up of dance, mime, and
ritual theater. A video
presentation discussing Bu toh
and the events that led to its
birth will take place at LCC
Tuesday, Nov. 20. in Forum
307 at 11:30 a.m. and at 1 p .m.

Lawrence,
Margaret
of
director
assistant
programming for the Hult
Center, will present the videos.
According to Lawrence, the
videos contain clips of the
performance,
group's
interviews with the group's
artistic director, Ushio
Amagatsu, and a segment
obtained from "Live From Off
Center," a PBS television
program featuring the genre of
Butoh.
"It's more like an
exploration than anything
else," says Lawrence. The
format will be informal, with
questions guiding the
discussion.
The presentation will
mainly be for Sparky Roberts'
acting class, but the public is
encouraged to attend, says
Lawrence. The purpose of the
discussion will be to acquaint

people with what Butoh is and
how to watch it. The feeling is,
says Lawrence, that people
may be reluctant to attend the
event because they don't
understand the style of Butoh.
ult looks bizarre, but it's
really wonderful," says
Lawrence. "People are usually
lined up in the streets to see
them."
Butoh is born of the postwar
generation of the sixties, and it
bears many traits associated
with the revolutions in society
and culture ... that erupted all
over the world in those times.
The video presentation at
LCC is free and open to the
public. Tickets for the Sankai
Juku' s performance at the Hult
Center, priced at $15, $12.50
and $10, with a $4 discount for
students, are available at all
