** Lane Co mun·ty "*·. 1~ • College 4 . Eugene, Oregon November 30, 1990 Vol. 26 No. 10 Sharing is Caring program discontinued by Chris Prather Torch Staff Writer Nine years ago, an LCC student with two small children, no money, and no place left to go stopped by the Campus Ministry office and asked for help. Assistant Director Mama Crawford, seeing a need, decided to do something about it. Thus begun the Sharing Is Caring program. Until this year. According to Crawford, there just isn't enough manpower and money available to continue the program. "It would take as taff cornrni tment of one person, full-time, from just before Thanksgiving to about Dec. 23 to get things together," says Crawford. And, we don't have the initial base money to start with." Crawford started Sharing is Caring in 1981 using donations to provide 910 families with holiday meals and the children of those families with presents. "I was beating the bush, so to speak, "says Crawford of that first year. She found someone who would sell her turkeys at discount and someone else who donated all the fresh vegetables. She and her ex11 husband delivered everything themselves on Dec. 24. Each year the number of families increased. So Crawford started direct department adoptions. Each department on campus that signed up would request a family of specific sizes. That particular department took responsibility for contacting the family and providing at least one holiday meal for that family and also at least one gift for each child. And it always grew from there," comments Crawford. She went on to explain that often the department would provide more than just one meal, sometimes providing enough to last the duration of the holidays, and occasionally supplying gifts for the parents of the family or more than one gift for each child. Departments would, on occasion, adopt more than one family, and some departments would stay in touch with their families throughout the year, she says. When Sharing is Caring outgrew LCC, Crawford found area businesses and private families who would adopt needy families and continued the program. Sharing is Caring helped 37 families last year alone. 11 On-campus child care discussion scheduled by Gaye Norton Leek Torch Staff Writer Provisions for on-campus child care will be the topic for an emergency round table discussion at noon on Monday, Dec. 3 in the Physical Education Building, room 205. Trish Rosewood, OSPIRG child care coordinator and ASLCC cultural director, says there isa "huge need" for child care on campus that has been "identified and never addressed," by several task forces over the past 15 years. But, Rosewood says the college, the LCC Board of Education, ASLCC, and OSPIRG have put the child care issue back on the agenda in the last 12 months. • In 1989-90 a special Task Force identified the needs and requirements for an on-campus day care facility. • LastMay,duringthestudentbodyelection,student voters approved a ballot measure to study day care needs. • In July, with the approval of the Board ofEducation, LCC President Jerry Moskus hired David Andrews, Ph.D, as a child care consultant and coordinator for six monthsfor$7,000. Andrews has written a grant application for day care resource and referral funding, says Rosewood. Butatthispoint,Rosewoodsaysshedoesn'tthinkthe college is going in the "right direction" with its solutions toon-campus day care problems. She says she would rather see Andrews identify ways to obtain a portion of the $18 million federal government child care relief designated for Oregon.

This year, people were stopping by the Campus Ministry office prior to Thanksgiving asking about the program. "It'srealhard tosay'No, we'renot doing it this year,' states Crawford. 11 "Hopefully next year things will level off and we'll have a much more solid financial base to work off of.

Conference geared to unity by Mary Browning Torch Associate Editor Lane Community College is hosting a grassroots conference Dec. 1, geared to building unity between the factions involved in the changing timber economy. "Striving for Unity: Economic Transition Programs for Workers and Communities in the Timber Crisis" will be held from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the LCC Performing Arts Building. Organizers of the event anticipate between 200 and 250 people to attend the Saturday conference. It's "highly significant," says Conference Coordinator and Moderator Dennis Gilbert, that each of the groups affected by the timber crisis are represented at the conference. "The conference is more than just imparting knowledge," he says. "This is a political event. We're bringing people together that have been traditionally opposed to each other ... It's a step forward, a change from the perspective of everyone involved." About 20 panelists and speakers are scheduled for the Timber, union, environmental groups to meet conference. They represent the timber and forest products management and employees, local labor organizations, environmental groups, and concerned citizens groups. The conference format will be composed of presentations by panelists, reactions by res pond en ts and audience members, question and answers sessions, and small group discussions. The panel discussion topics that have been chosen are: The Current Situation, The Alternatives, and The Strategic Outlook. Gilbert says the goal of the conference is to create "ongoingunity" between the groups represented. According to him, the conference will be shifting the agenda of the timber crisis "from a timber supply issue to an economic transitions issue." Conference Coordinator Jerome Garger, who is also a peace and conflict studies instructor at LCC, says that he has received a lot of calls from people who would be unable to attend the event, but who wanted to express their support for the conference. Many of the callers, says Garger, also "praised LCC's ability to bring all of these different factions together." "Obviously," he says, "just all of us being in one place will not solve the problem ... I think what we're going to be able to do is find common ground and understanding." "LCC is playing a really good role," Gilbert says, "using its standing in the community and its resources to promote this unity." Gilbert and Garger encouraged anyone interested in the issue to come to the 8:30 a.m. registration. The cost for the conference is $5, which includes lunch. The organizers hope that this will be the start of an ongoing series of forums locally, and a model for community colleges across the nation to use in dealing with economic transition issues in their areas.

He's 17, and unemployed. She's 14, and seven months pregnant. They live at the Family Shelter House on Highway 99 with Melanie's mother Joanna, and 4-year-old sister, Sarah. They have until Dec. 6 to be out of the shelter, unless they receive an extension, which Tyrone thinks is unlikely. He's been trying to find employment, but is experiencing little success. This , he says, is largely due to his residing at the shelter. There is only one phone in the shelter for all tenants to use. When Tyrone does receive a call-back from a prospective employer, he says they are more often than not "turned off" by his place of residence, and choose not to hire him. f-Ie has applied at a service station next to the shelter. But, he says, the manager of the station told him he would never hire anyone who lives there. If he doesn't find employment soon, he says he may join the Job Corps, although he would prefer not to. And thus, as is to be expected, Tyrone and Melanie have little Christmas cheer this holiday season, - but they plan to do what they can. Last Christmas, Tyrone, who was homeless at the time, set up a Christmas tree under the Chamber's overpass. This year ... The winter holiday season: for many, a time of cheer, celebration, reunions with family and friends ... for others, like Tyrone and Melanie, a time of despair and a helpless feeling of loneliness. During the holiday season, we often reflect on the joys of our lives and the joys the holidays bring. We should also, however, reflect on the perils of many who find the holiday season leaves them wallowing in a slough of despondency. Chances are you have heard this rhetoric before, and though you feel compassion, you are in fact getting a little tired of it. During a season of such exaltation, some would rather ignore the melancholy of the unemployed, the homeless, the underpriviledged. But many find increased joy in taking the initiative to provide a spark of joy to these people in need. These modern day Santa Clauses deserve commendation. Every one of us, regardless of cur own economic situation, should look to these modern day Santas as a catalyst and find a way to pitch in.

Page 2 November 30, 1990 The Torch Selected gifts· tot·a s·e/ected few I was taught as a child, by my very religious family, that it was "more blessed to give than it is to receive." In this spirit, I wish I could bestow the following Christmas gifts to some of my most and least favorite people in the world. • George Bush - I would like to give you, my president, a healthy abhorrence of war so that after the holiday season you will find a better way to stop Saddam Hussein than by using young Americans as cannon fcxider. • Lloyd Marbet - For you, my favorite quixotic Oregonian, I would like to give a giftwrapped closure order for the Trojan nuclear power plant. If it weren't for suit-wearing, hiking-boot-clad idealists like yourself, my political cynicism might be too great of a burden to bear on election days. • Eugene Police Department - The gift of color-blindness would be the blessing I would like to bestow upon some of you members of this organization. It would be very nice if you could learn the difference between a suspicious looking character and a person of color when patrolling the "Felony Flats" area of the city. • Salvation Army - Mountains of canned goods, a sea of fresh juices and milk, and an unlimited bounty of perishable foods for your basket drive would be my present to your charity. I can't afford to give so much (perhaps the citizens of Eugene will) but I will give what I can. • The American consumer - May the computers of all the credit card companies suffer an incurable virus which wipes all of December's transactions from micro-chip memory forever. Come January, I have a feeling that about half of the country's credit card users will be hoping that this gift could be a reality. • Jerome G arger - I hope that for one en tire school year (1991-1992) that you could have every student in all of your classes at LCC fully appreciate the knowledge and expertise you offer. As a man of strong conviction, you have a sense of justice that is truly a pearl of great value to those of us who believe that fairness should be a rule rather than an exception. • Oregon Duck football team- I would like to assure your team a victory in the Freedom Bowl and give you another quarterback of Bill Musgrave's grit and talent. It has been a pleasure to not have to get red in the face and make excuses to my relatives in other parts of the country when I mention I am a Duck fan. commentary robert catalano • Jesse Helms -As one of the most narrowminded, bigoted and hypocritical U.S. Senators, you will receive the compassion you so badly need. Maybe upon receiving this gift, you, Senator Helms, could explain why you are so opposed to killing unborn babies, yet support war and represent the tobacco growers in Congress. • My wife, L.iura - I would like to give you the six winning numbers for a lottery ticket. The money would come in handy and you wouldn't have to work two jobs to support us while I'm going to school. • Families with loved ones in Saudi Arabia - If it were in my power to shut down Opera- tion Desert Shield, I would do it today. Although I am not a religious man, I pray if there is a God, he will spare you the suffering of having toseeyoursonsanddaughtersdiein the arms of strangers thousands of miles from home. • LCC students - l T..vould like to give all LCC stud en ts the classes :lou want and enough food to tide you over until financial aid checks come in the mail. There is nothing more frustrating then spending an hour on the Class-Line trying to get by the dreaded "this class is full" recording, unless it's trying to stretch 50 cents until the end of the second week of classes. Merry Christmas everyone. May you all find that perfect gift for the ones you love. '"'""" ' ·"•'":c:/l""lltidfiltilJiDr ••••• •: • , ..#;c, •• :c;,::c:: Our lives count Tc- the Editor, I'm writing this letter as if to President Bush. I'm not protesting. I just want our Ii ves to count. America does not need any more wasted bodies. Mr. Bush, I have recently separated from three years active service in the U.S. Army. I take pride in being a veteran with an honorable discharge. On the eve of the brink of war, I'm wondering will I be called upon to serve our proud country? Will I come back a whole man? Will I die? Before these questions can be answered I first must ask mine. What will I tell my unborn child? Do I tell him I died in a righteous cause that brought demccracy to foreign countries, or do I tell him I died for greedy corporations who only care for their fattened wallets. Mr. Bush, will my child grow up hearing his father was a war monger that died for a foolish whim? : Mr. Bush, do you have any answers? I haven't heard any. I believe Mr. Bush, you may be partially right, but are you right enough to take my life and thousands more? What answers do you have for their families? It may seem that I'm walking the fence; maybe it's better to balance a while before falling to the hard ground below. Mr. Bush, we need as a nation answers to our questions. We elected you but did we elect to die? We are not numbers, Mr. Bush, we are human beings. Let our lh-es weigh heavy on your scale of decision. Paul Thompsor Paper vs foam Dear Edi tor, After reading the article on the choice between styrofoam vs. paper cups, several things came to mind. I found Bob Tegge's attitude toward the choice of paper over styrofoam cups irritating. On one hand he urged the"options, and give :;;;:;;:~:;;:;:::::===::==:= them what they want," then mentions at length how costly and impractical paper cups are. First, people complained about the presence of the styrofoam cups, which are an environmental danger and are banned completely at other places, then people complained, according to Tegge, that they became too hot. Tegge also implies that paper cups, whichhavealways been used for cold drinks, are responsible for the hike in the coffee prices. Similar to the "not in my neighborhood" syndrome is . the "save the environment without changing one's lifestyle." Improving our environment involves change but nobody wants to be the one to change. Those changes also demand practical alternatives and the whole tone of Food Services is that there isn't one. Mind you they changed their policy reluctantly . Why be concerned about saving our atmosphere from chlorofluorocarbons when foam cups are cheaper and . better insulated?

Christmas not immune from separation of church, state The Campus Ministry sets up a Nativity scene with the blessing of the college next to the Student Government's Christmas tree on the LCC campus. A nice gesture? Yes. Legal?No. Christmas, known ina secular way as a time for giving and receiving, is not as immune to the separation of church and state as one might think. In fact, each year the debate grows hotter. A Nov. 24, article in the Coos Bay World by the Associated Press' religion writer, George W. Cornell, states that from September, 1989 to August, 1990, courts in 23 states heard 53 cases over the implied endorsement of religion. Americans United forSeparationof Churchand State says in the article that: "It is no overstatement to say that American state-church relations are inastateofcrisis ...Church-state battles are escalating in communities across the nation." The First Amendment of the United States Constitution commentary by chris barren reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ... " In laymen's terms, Congress can't pass a law establishing preference for one religion over another." Although many people consider a Christmas tree as secular, a recent complaint by Jewish parents prompted Capitol Hill Elementary School officials to take down a Christmas tree displayed at the Salem school. In a Nov. 23 article in the Eugene Register-Guard, Capitol Hill Principal Ralph Hodges decided the tree could be regarded as a Christian religious symbol. When the Torch asked Jay Jones, LCC's director of Student Activities, whether ASLCC could erect a Christmas tree and Nativity scene, Jones said, "We do have authorization for a Christmas tree." However, Jones said he could not authorize the studentstoputupanativityscene without first checking with the college's legal representative, because, he said, "It's never been an issue before." Under the provisions of the First Amendment, Jones said the erection of a Nativity scene would be illegal, even if the Student Government, and not a religious organization, set it up. "I've got a feeling that it would be challenged," said Jones, "and there's nothing wrong with that." In the highly publicized case of Lowe vs. City of Eugene during the late 1960s, the Oregon State Supreme Court upheld a trial court decision that OPINION POLL Betty Bean: Nursing "Well, I guess burglar alarms, get a dog, do some neighborhood watch - those are the only things I can think of."

Accordingly, persons who do not share those beliefs may feel that their own beliefs are stigmatized or officially deemed less worthy than those awarded the appearance of the city's endorsement."

What is the correct role for the US? If you read news accounts, political columns, and history texts, watch TV interviews with presidents and senators,orsimplyaskinformed LCC instructors, the "answers" will span the political spectrum. Depending on the source, the potential confrontation in the Persian Gulf can be attributed to the U.S.'s gluttonous need for oil; to the protection of a friendly, sovereign country from a ruthless dictator; or to Iraq's decades-old claim to its ancient land. The crisis could result in a fullscale United Nation's-approved assault of Iraqi-held Kuwait; a "Holy War" organized by Iraq; continued economic sanctions; or perhaps negotiations and concessions. •"I agreed with sending troops in August so (Iraq) could not take the oil fields (in Saudi Arabia), but the question is, what next?" says political science instructor Joe Kremers. "Once again, we're hearing the same message: that (military) technique will save us." Butthemilitary'smight can't solve social problems, says Kremers: "You have to look at the end before you enter this kind of conflict." • History instructor Greg Delf uses a metaphor: "The original aggression was 'bank robbery,' "he says, and thathastobestopped. "Ifwecan avoid (war) by economic measures, great. But if force is necessary, use it," he says. Again, using an analogy, Delf says, "if it were Switzerland (being invaded) ... we'd be in there already- there would be much less debate." • Peace and Conflict Studies instructor Jerome Garger believes "The Iraq invaded its neighbor last August, claiming the land, resources, and portsasitsown. The U.S.and the United Nations condemned the invasion, and the U.S. began sending troops to Saudi Arabia to block what it claimed was the potential of an commentary Iraqi move into that country, as well.

"War is not as tidy and predictable as some would have us believe. If we and our allies decide to wage war it should be because we have weighed the cost and decided that the price must be paid. We should never go to war looking for a cheap and easy victory. Easy and glamorous victories are found only in Hollywood." •"Iraq is not a superpower," said Egyptian President Mubarak last weekinaninterviewwithABCNews. "You Americans worry about (Saddam Hussein) doing more than he can do!" • P .J. O'Rourke said in October's Rolling Stone magazine that "To the uninitiated, what Iraq did to Kuwait seems like regular war: Country A whacks Country B, which screams bloody murder, dragging Countries C, D, and E into the fray. But with .. . the Arabs, it's not that simple." • Bernard Lewis, writing in the September Atlantic magazine remind us that Mohammad, the prophet of Islam, was a military leader as well. "His struggle involved the state and its armed forces. If the fighters in the war for Islam ... are fighting for God, it follows that their God is the head of the Islamic state. He commands the army, therefore the enemy is God's enemy." Therefore, there is an implied threat that Arab countries will uniteagainstanyinvasionbya Western power into the Arab (Moslem) region. • On the other hand, President Bush has said "Lasting and meaningful peace must be founded upon principle." Aggression cannot be rewarded; Kuwait must be sovereign; the hostages must be set free; and Iraq must never again be in a position to "threaten the survival of its neighbors or our vital interests." Peace for Christmas; just a dream or a realistic goal? JohnLennon,somesay, was a dreamer for his vision of peace. Martin Luther King had a dream of equality. John F. Kennedy had a premonition that our generation would either destroy the earth or bring it to peace. Their tragic deaths need not be in vain. Throughout history the world community has had an inability to work together. That inability has· continually created conflict. Due to such conflict, we are currently on the verge of a major war. The United Nations Peacekeeping Forces, along with the rest of the free world, are faced with a standoff with Iraq. At first, the United State's role was to contain Iraq's aggression with President Bush's warning, "Don't cross our line in the sand, Iraq, or we will go to war with you!"

If the world community chooses a violent solution to this conflict, then it will have sealed our fate to future violence. Instead of instilling more violence for our future, let's join together this holiday season and give the world something that will last more than just a lifetime -- peace! You can do more than just hope for peace for this Christmas. For starters, come to the gates of the fairgrounds on Dec.I at noon for a march to the Federal Building where there will be a rally at 1 p.m. in protest of a possible Gulf war. Sponsored by Oregon • Peaceworks and the No Gulf War Coalition, the event -- as well as a teach-in on Dec. 7 -are meant to educate people about historical, geographic, racial, and religious differences of the people of the Middle East that all come into play in our current crisis.

His song "Give Peace a Chance" asks us to just once find a peaceful solution so peace might lead tomorepeace, insteadofwarorblood tomore of the same. With our current crisis it is essential to pull together and help others, including our adversaries. In helping others, we help ourselves -- more than we could ever know from how things appear on the surface. This column is from the heart, the message is clear: do everything you can to stop war!

Visit dates for VP of instruction finalists changed by Mary Browning Torch Associate Editor The college has changed the dates of theon--<:ampus visits of the three finalists for the vice president of instruction. The final day-long interviews are scheduled as follows: • Dr. Richard Brightman, director of Educational Services at the Coast Community College District in Costa Mesa, Calif., Monday, Dec. 3; • LCC Interim Vice President of Instruction Jim Ellison, Tuesday, Dec. 4; • Michael Crow, academic dean at Oakland Community College in Farmington Hills, Mich., Wednesday, Dec. 5. Three of the 10 search committee members made visits to the candidates' current workplaces the week of Nov. 26: Cheryl Coleman, represented the faculty; Jerry Sirois, represented the classified staff; and Dick Hillier, represented the administration. Committee Chair Dick Reid called the selection ot the next vice president of instruction "probably the most important decision that anyone wilJ make at LCC this year_.., The chief academic officer, he says, is "at the heart of our main enterprise here- teaching and learning. (He or she) is directly responsible for what we teach, and how well we teach it." Because he feels that this decision is so important, Reid encourages all college personnel and students who meet with the candidates to share their insights with the committee. While all meetings with the candidates are open to college personnel and students, a meeting specifically for all college personnel and students to meet with each finalist is set for 3 p.m. in Forum 309, during each scheduled visit. The Torch contacted Oakland, Orange Coast, and Lane Community College student leaders and and others familiar with the three finalists, asking for their personal opinions of the individual candidates. • Brightman: Student leaders spoke favorably of his accessibility to students, and his openness and willingness to assist them. They also cited his efforts to include students in decision-making. • Crow: The editor of the Orchard Ridge Recorder, the student newspaper, was critical of one of Crow's interactions with students, and as a result, could not provide a positive endorsement of Crow. However, a former student government leader at the campus praised Crow's availability to students, his efforts to listen to students' views and greivances, and his willingness to support students' wishes. • Ellison:Studentssaidhedemonstratesagenuine commitment to student needs, that he is highly accessible and makes time to listen to students. Openness in his dealings with students was also mentioned. The committee expects to make its final recommendation for a vice president to LCC President Jerry Moskus the week of bee. 10. The president will then take the committee's report to the LCC Board of Education. The board expects to offer the position to one of the finalists at the first of next year. Deaf professional • potter aided by 'hearing ear dog' by Kelley Egre opportunity to do so. Torch Staff Writer "There is a lot of adjustment to do with my family ( two daughters). They enjoy Petie, but they miss their other dog, too," she says. "I had to give the other dog up. I just couldn't go on and grow like I could with Petie." She works in silence within a small LCC ceramic studio filled withanumberofherown creations, a few dirty pottery wheels, a large work table, and a bed for the new addition to her life, Petie. From the first moment one meets Donna Meyer and her special dog Petie, it is easy to see the bond they share. He quietly sits by her side, only occasionally getting up to play with his toy or to sniff his new territory. Meyer was given Petie a little over three weeks ago from an organization called Self Help to the Hard of Hearing which trains and places the dogs into good homes. Meyer has been deaf since a young age and Petie helps her to cope both around the house and in the outside world. "He helps me to answer the phone, getsmewhenmyname is called ... he lets me know what is going on around me," says Meyer. "They gave a demonstration of a dog like Petie," Meyer says, "and that's how I became more interested in the dogs for the deaf." For the first five days Meyer had Petie, one of the dog's trainers helped him adjust to the new environment, learn certain sounds around the house such as her alarm clock and teapot, and get to know his new owner. Meyer had another dog before Petie, but it could only help her around the house. A trained dog could help her to cope outside the home as well, so Meyer says she jumped at the chance. She says she has always wanted to travel and this would give her the Meyer says she loves animals and plans to keep Petie The for quite a while. organization which trained the dog owns the animal for five years. Then, if it feels she has provided him with a good and stable home, it will award full ownership to Meyer. Currently Meyer is a professional potter using facilities in the art building at LCC. She makes a number of ceramic i terns, including vases and coffee mugs, and creates her own personalized design on each one. Every item is handmade with pencil and pastels to create an original piece of art she will sell as a finished product. "It's a long process that I go through which takes a lot of work and a lot of time," she says. "Each piece I make is very personalized which makes them very hard to give up, to sell." She began her career in ceramics after she received her two degrees from LCC. She decided to stick with ceramics and has worked as a potter for about six years, this being her second year creating her more personalized items. Donna Meyer, who is deaf, works on pottery vase while Petie, her "hearing ear dog," sits by. 8oftwa'C.e. fipe.LinP-= _ Your home computer store.â„¢ We Rent & Sell Computer Software over 1000 titles to choose from for Macintosh® & IBM Try Before You Buy You'll never have to waste your software dollars again OPEN 7 DAYS M-S 10-7 SUNDAY 12-5 For now she plans on enjoying life with her two daughters,and withPetie.

Before this year, all GM service technicians have had to commute to Tigard, Ore., a suburb of Portland, to learn about the new advancements in GM's automobiles. Ray Hrabacka, service Romania manager for Chevrolet in Eugene, realized the trip for those employees based in Sou them Oregon was toocostlyand time consuming. "It is such a long distance to drive for training," Hrabacka says. "It would save on a lot of costs to use LCC facilities." Through his curiosity about the possibility of a closer training center, he spoke to both the director of the Tigard school and Ted Kotsakis, Mechanics Department chair at LCC. KotsakissaysHrabaka was able to talk both of them as well as GM into making LCC a new training center. On Dec. 17, about 45 local GM operations within an approximate 60 mile radius south,east,and westofEugene will be able to attend the LCCbased program. According to Kotsakis, the training includes component classes ranging from basic safety features to any new electrical concept. The auto specialists will, over the course ofonetoeightdays, learn what they need to know through a mixture of both hands-on training and lectures. "If people need to learn about something as specific as (anti-lock brake systems), there will be a class that will help them in that area," says Kotsakis. He says even though the 'GM benefits a great deal ... we will be lightening their load.' -Ted Kotsakis location has changed, the training will remain exactly the same as is performed in Tigard. all of the new advancements coming out, we will be lightening their load." As department chair, Kotsakis feels the program will be a success through the support of the dealerships, but is unable to predict the outcome yet. Right now, the chances of success are high. LCC President Jerry Moskus says the Des Moines area Community College in Iowa, where he was previously employed, had a similar program with GM. "They were very successful, and mutualistically beneficial to both GM and the college," says Moskus. "If the students aren't getting out of it what they need and they stop attending," says Kotsakis, "then we know it wasn't successful." In fact, for the first set of classes the instructors from GM will lead the classes until, if qualified, the LCC staff is capable of taking over some Qr most of the responsibility. "Currently, there is no one here (at LCC) qualified to teach the courses," Kotsakis says. "So, for a while, GM instructors will be leading the classes." Kotsakis says that the new location has created a "winwinsituation" forbothGMand LCC. LCC will recieve GMdonated literature and hardware and LCC mechanics instructors will learn of GM' s automotive newest advancements and techniques. As a result of the training, LCC personel will be able to incorporate the high-tech information into their own LCC courses. "GM benefits a great deal," Kotsakis says, '1>ecause with From theater to child care, senator gains knowledge When ASLCC Cultural Director Trish Rosewood told Daniel Christensen, "You'vE got to run for ASLCC Senator," he took this news to heart and got himself involved in the student government, as (what else?) an ASLCC Senator. On top of all this, he is involved in LCC theater, playing a part in the current production, "Picnic." He would love to be active in much more, but as he says wisely, "You must know your priori ties. I don't like the idea of sitting around looking at how bad things are and being totally apathetic, but I find it really difficult to do all the things I want to do". He is involved currently in the Alternative Visions Program, where he has gained an appreciation for the diversity of people, and understanding their differences.

At the Nov. 19 meeting, the Senate allotted $1047.40 for catering of the MLK Celebration reception, to be performed by the Oregon Electric Station. The Senate also approved $400 to promote the MLK event. ASLCC Vice President Maya Thomas affirmed the importance of the celebration by saying that it "takes a good time to wake people up." She also emphasized the importance of the food drive to be held prior to the event and the school's role in maintaining one of the most powerful MLK celebrations in the country. She stressed that these student funds which are being spent on the celebration were mandated to be spent on the event by a student vote last spring. ASLCC President Michael Omogrosso said that the GROW conference in Corvallis was an encouraging ''blast." He expressed a desire to have a student who attended the conference on every college committee rallying around an issue. He also said that students other than ASLCC officers should compose the bulk of students on those committees. Sexual Harassment Task Force spokesperson, Kate Barry, speaking at the request of Omogrosso, said that the task force embraces a policy defining erotic relationships between students and faculty, or supervisors and staff as "unprofessional."

Barry recommends that the college should adopt a policy on ethical behavior. In addition, the Senate approved $1500 for the fall term publication of Denali, the literary arts magazine. At the Nov. 26 meeting, the Senate rejected a proposal by Senator Kim Poffenberger that would change ASLCC by-laws to require a full consensus of ASLCC in order to allocate student funds for any purpose greater than $50. The proposal to change from requiring a twothirds majority for this purpose was defeated by a two-thirds majority of those ASLCC members voting, with six voting against and three voting for the change, with two abstentions. The Senate also debated, but took no action on, endorsing a plan for child care on campus, working toward having a student union building where the care could be provided, and the potential of acquiring LTD bus passes for all students through the mandatory student fees, all of which would be subject to a vote in the general student election in the spring.

Christmas is widely celebrated and is a quiet, relaxing holiday for family and close friends. But the Chinese New Year, which begins this year on Feb. 14, is the most active holiday. Everything must be made"new:" people clean their homes, paint the walls, dry seafood, and prepare food. The holiday meal is similar to the American Thanksgiving -the emphasis is on newness and the various dishes e?ch have their own importance and must be eaten for different reasons (such as good luck, health and wealth). It is a custom to retain a little rice in order to have a full meal everyday in the new year. That night, people might go to market to buy flowers, or to temple to spin the "lucky wheel." Children are given "lucky money" in red paper envelopes. Candies represent wealth and are offered when guests arrive. Sigrid Freyens Belgium Sigrid Freyens, a graphic arts student, is a Belgian who has lived many years in Rwanda. She has memories of Christmas in both countries, but none quite as vivid as her family's first in a Rwanda village. The family had just arrjved shortly before Christmas and were living in a house given to her physician father by the Belgian cooperative he worked for. There were no fir trees, so they substituted a different tree from the yard. They planned to go to church, but, the rainy season had started that day. Red earth turned to mud, the power went off, and they ate by candlelight to music coming from the various pots and pans they spread throughout the house to catch the rain pouring in. Some lucky people may receive a beautiful Christmas card designed by the people of Butare, Sigrid's village. She misses the people and the beautiful red and green country.

On Dec. 24, people leave the cities to go .upcountry to their villages. That evening, nearly everyone in the vicinity goes to a joyful Midnight Mass. "That is such a very important part of our celebration," says Jane. Early Christmas morning the men slaughter and start roasting a goat. The children get re-acquainted with cousins arid play with spontaneity in the red earth. Inside the huts, women chatter excitedly-so much news to share-while preparing chapati, an essential bread eaten wtth vegetables. After the feast, Kenyan natives hike further into the hills to visit others: Jane says "restraints are loosened, the feeling is free." Boxer Day, celebrated on Dec. 26, marks the return of Kenyans to their homes. The people will gather again in a large stadium-like central place on New Year's Day when the Bishop of the area arrives to observe the beginning of a new year. Teddy lrawan -~ Indonesia Teddy lrawan from Jakarta, Indonesia, is studying business management. He'll be able to celebrate this Christmas with one of his former classmates when they meet in San Francisco where ''there are so many different things to do." They will go to church on Christmas Day and might play tennis, his favorite sport, before going to a restaurant to celebrate with their favorite foods - foods that can't be found in Eugene . Indonesians will accept Christmas as another of the many holidays celebrated throughout the year by the different religions of Indonesia. Ninety percent of Indonesians are Muslim, with Christians and Buddists making up the balance. ,. ' Czechoslovakia This time last year, Barbora Bakalarova and her family's holiday celebration was heightened by the joy of Czechoslovakia's new freedom from a communist government. As always, before dinner the family gathers around the tree to sing carols and then, in a discussion led by the father, they would sum up the previous year and share their hopes and plans for the coming year. "It was usually a very moving time, with much meaning," Barbera says. As part of the celebration on the Eve of Christmas, the family cuts an apple in half horizontally to see who has a star for good luck, or the cross, which means bad luck. "It is just a game, played with fun, not taken seriously," says Barbara. Another custom is to put little candles in a nut shell, and light them. Then each person sets theirs afloat near the rim of a container of water. As the candles float away, it indicates how far from home that member might travel in the coming year. After a traditional dinner of carp and potato salad, with cookies mgde weeks ahead, the presents left under the tree by Jezisek (ya zha shek - little Jesus) will be opened. Under the previous Communist rule, religion was suppressed: the churches that would be allowed to have midnight services could not be advertised, but people would find out, and even non-Christians would attend because they felt added strength and power as they united in celebration. People would feel free and would stroll around Wenceslas Square, the thoroughfare founded by Charles IV in 1348, site of many important events in her country's history. It was a wonderful time, Barbara says, and everyone feh free and strong. Sweden Pernilla (Penny) Johansson says sticking cloves in an orange and hanging it in a corner of the room makes everything smell wonderful - except for the traditional lutefisk (fish hung to dry, soaked in marinade and boiled) which smells so awful she has never been able to taste it. Christmas is a great relief from the depressing cold and darknessoftheSwedishwinter. By Dec. 13, Lucia Day, the darkness hangs on until about 8 a.m. and the snow hasn't yet arrived to reflect light. Lucia Day, noted for the giving of food and drink to the poor, is commemorated by children who put flowers in their hair, form a procession with candles, awaken their parents with songs and offer them glogg (a warm, spiced drink) and ginger cookies. Soon, restaurants start serving smorgasbord. At home, hams are boiled to produce broth for dipping homemade breads; herring in many kinds of sauces and the popular glogg are prepared to welcome family and friends. The "secluded Swedes" much prefer celebrating at home where they decorate wtth poinsettias, aromatic leek flowers and trees.

Admission is free. Kansas comes to life in 'Picnic' •review by John Unger Torch Staff Writer The setting on LCC's Mains tage Theatre for "Picnic" is contagiously real. Two thunderstorm-rent, snowsurvi ving, plain grey houses-complete with porches and woodsheds -- are connected by a wooden fence that encloses a shared yard. Lead scenic artist Michelle Waytenickcarriedout the design arranged by James McCarty with such accuracy and care that you feel like you're there, in the Midwest, in the 1950's. Back then, Kansas was a flat, insipid dust bowl. The main streets of the towns boasted facades that hid the emptiness behind them. Only an occasional cyclone broke the monotony. In 'Picnic,' a play written by ~illiam Inge, the cyclone comes in the form of a young tramp, fresh from a freight train boxcar. Stephen Braun performs this young tramp, Hal Carter, with a sense of pride and confidence showing that this young man searching for a niche is able to survive by his womanizing wits. Although all of the women are attracted by the raw vitality he exudes, eventually they see through to the ignorant clod who is unable to control his energy. In particular, Rosemary Sydney, a schoolteacher, performed by Nicole Henderson, shows this dichotomy. Henderson emphasizes Sydney's capricious fancies with a force of emotion as she insults Hal while also implying that he attracts her. Millie Owens is the youngest woman in the play. Mary Unruh is outstanding in the role of this rival sibling. Her clumsy emulations of her sister's elegance ring righteously true. The sister that Millie rivals is Madge,who is slightly older and excessively vain. Maya Thomas fills this role with a charm and grace that instantly sets her up as the tramp' s target. The most powerful modes that Thomas embraces are not in the romantic scenes, though, but when Madge questions her shallow destiny of being a rural bimbo, and when she shields herself from her mother's concern. The sisters' mother, Flo Owens, is performed with believable caring by Sharon Sless. In urging Madge to use her beauty to achieve a lifetime of security, the mother subtly projects that her own beauty has faded. She also wishes for Madge to marry a boy from the town's wealthy family because she laments belonging to a class not much higher than the "white trash" drifter, Hal, whom Madge admires at first glance. The boy, Alan Seymour, Madge's boyfriend, admires her to death. Daniel Christensen fills this role with such adroit activity that Madge's instant defection to Hal seems unlikely, especially since the romance scenes between Madge and Hal are static and lack much sense of random hormones grappling with possibility. The truly charged scenes between Hal and Madge occur when Hal's pretensions crumble into dust and Madge, aware of the weakness beneath her own graceful exterior, comforts him. A romance scene that parallels and almost overshadows that of Madge and Hal's is between the schoolteacher, Rosemary, and her suitor, Howard Evans, a local clerk. Garland Sprick portrays Howard with such downhome humor and perfect timing that he garners spontaneous applause from the audience. Rosemary's role is enhanced by the presence of her schoolteacher friends, aflutter over Hal, who erects impressive guises of social propriety that they subsequently sabotage with piercing Freudian slips of gossip. Julie Chouinard and Christine Schoenwalde perform the schoolteacher roles. Other characters include the voice of Helen's mother, moaned by Stephanie Hofeld, and Bomber, the paperboy, thrusted into the scene by Brady Fulks. Jerald Seifert directs, Kathryn 0. Linn arranges costumes, and Skip Hubbard provides technical directions. Performances of "Picnic" continue on Friday, Nov. 30, and Saturday, Dec. 1.

While you have a few short hours to learn your sun spots from your satellites before the dreaded astronomy exam. On the other hand, Vivarin gives you the definite advantage. It helps keep you awake and mentally alert for hours. Safely and conveniently. So even when the subject matter's dull, your mind will stay razor sharp. If Galileo had used Vivarin, maybe he could have mastered the solar system faster, too.
