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.

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.

Campus Ministries Director Jim Dieringer (seated left) and Ass~. Director of
Campus Ministries Marna Crawford lame_nt the fact that operating funds for
the Sharinq is CarinQ proqram are unavailable.

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.

"Hopefully next year things will
level off and we'll have a much more
solid financial base to work off of. It's

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.

Brigl:lten _holiday for all
by giving to the needy
Tyrone and his girlfriend, Melanie, don't have much to look forward
to this Christmas. 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.
Listed here is just a small sampling of organizations which
you can contribute through.
• The Red Cross sponsors the Meals on Wheels Deli very
Program. Contact Jean Lum at 344-5244.
• The Salvation Army needs donations of food for preparation of Christmas Holiday Baskets for families in need. Interested persons or families can also participate in the Sponsor a
Family program by donating food and/or money. For more
information, contact Robert Villanueva at 343-3328.
• Food for Lane County is looking for volunteers to contribute to the organization's food distribution program. Contact
Food for Lane County at 343-2822.
Do what you can to make the holidays a festive season for all.

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.

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.

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

Potential for Gulf conflict debated
So, what's the Persian Gulf crisis
really all about? 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

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!" Now that
warning steps further; "Get out
of Kuwait or we will remove
you forcefully."

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.

"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

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.

:·· tiAlfService technicians to train · at t ·c c;
by Kelley Egre
Torch Staff Writer

Due to the perseverance of a
few individuals, Southern
Oregonian men and women
working on General Motor's
(GM) vehicles will no longer
have to travel a great distance
for their required yearly
training.
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

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

ASLeC focuses on funding
requests, MLK Celebration
by John Unger
Torch Staff Writer

The ASLCC Senate meetings of Nov. 19 and
26 focused on preparing for the Martin Luther

King (MLK) Celebration and wrapping up fall
term funding requests.
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." Even when initially occur-

complain ts. 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.
The next Senate meeting will beat 3:00 in the
Boardroom on Dec. 3.

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

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.
Butare is just a few miles from the volcano made famous by
Dian Fosse's gorilla research. Christmas in Belgium is

Muslims, Hindus and many ethnic groups, so Christmas is
celebrated from many points of view.
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.

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.

Area bookstores offer gift suggestions,holiday specials
by Neil Gribbons
for the Torch

Bookstores in the Eugene area are gearing up for
the holidays. Store owners are predicting holiday
best sellers, along with gift ideas for students.
The LCC bookstore is featuring children's
hardcover storybooks for the holidays. Storybooks
from the Bernstein Bears series and the Little Critters
series are popular items for kids, according to Vicki
Harner, book buyer for the store. These books will be
priced between $1.59 and $4.98, 50 percent, or more,
off the retail price, says Hamer.
As gifts for students, Hamer recommends
hardcover thesauruses, dictionaries, and reference
books such as the "Nursing 91 Drug Handbook,"
which sells for $21.95. Hardcover fiction titles will be
displayed on a special Christmas sale table beginning

Dec. 3. 'We can special-order just about anything for
Christmas," says Hamer, if the order is placed before
Dec.10.
For anyone interested in a prehistoric adventure
story with a dash of romance thrown in for good
measure, B. Dalton BooksellersinEugene,maybe the
place to go. The new fiction hardcover "Plains of
Passage," by Oregon author Jean Auel, author of
"Clan of the Cave Bear," is on sale for $18.71. It
"appeals mainly to women, and is by far the best
selling series we have," says Michael Boutette, store
manager.
Gary Kamp, owner of the Book Station, stocks a
variety of used books including science fiction,
mystery, history, and philosophy titles. He says that
"used books are al ways a good deal for people," and
that "during Christmas, people tend to buy lighthearted, easy reading stuff, which we call 'chewing

gum of the mind."'
Star Gate owner Alan Stein thinks that the new
hardcover by Robert Bly, entitled "Iron John/' will
move well over the holidays. The book is sale priced
at$18.95. Bly is "an internationally known poet," and
his new book "deals with men's issues and relationships," according to Stein.
He is offering two video rentals for the price of one
to any LCC students who show him their student ID
card. Video topics include, health, awareness,
massage, and Tai Chi.
Emerald City Comics, will celebrate the seasons
with a special display featuring holiday comic book
covers that have appeared over the years. According
to Stuart Bracken, store manager, they "always have
a large display of new calendars at this time of year.
Gift certificates are always popular for the holidays
too," added Bracken.

Holiday gift sales will feature student crafted wares
by Therin Corvington
for the Torch

The LCCScienceand Art Departmentsareconductinga nnual
gift sales of plants and pottery, just in time for the holidays.
At the Science Department's plant sale Dec. 4, 8 a.m. -3 p.m.,
on the second floor of the Center Building, outside the library
entrance, staff members will offer 200 houseplants for sale. Plant
care literature will be included with each purchase.
Money recei ved from the plant sale will be used to refurnish
supplies for the LCC Greenhouse, says lab manger Dave Schiappa.
The purpose of the plant sale is to rotate stock to make room for
new plants in the greenhouse, he says.
All plants for sale originated in the LCC Greenhouse, says
botany student Herb Fredrickson, and many are cuttings from
existing plants.
The Art Department's pottery sale will take place Dec. 4 and
Sfrom 9a.m. to4p.m.,in the cafeteria. Pottery to be sold includes
utilitarian wares, consisting of cups, mugs, bowls, and other
items.
Wares for sale were made by students, as well as pottery and
shop volunteer Alex Laham, shop volunteer Ann Dumbolton,
and ceramics instructor Bruce Wild.
The department expects approximately 14 display tables of
wares to be sold, says Laham. Prices will range from $1 to $50.
Thirty-five percent of the profits received from the pottery sale
will be used for the maintenance fund for the Art Department,
Laham says.

Summer blockbusters make interesting gift ideas

pre-recorded video tape prices.
"We saw a lot of tapes being

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.

MEET THE TITANS
KELLY STONELAKE (20) - The 5'8" sophomore is expected to be one of
the team leaders as she returns for her second year as a starter. She believes she
can best help the team by setting an example of hard work and commitment
for the younger players. The former Siusla w High School star was the Far West
League MVP her senior year and hopes to transfer to the University of Oregon
next year.
LUCY CORNUTT (30)- The 5'6" freshman from Pleasant Hill H. S. chose
to attend LCCbecause it allows her toremainclose to her home and family. She
was a second-team Sky-Em all-league selection and was a member of that
conference's championship team. Cornutt carries a 3.25 GPA and hopes to
further her education and "have fun" while at LCC.
NICOLE BIGNOTTI (32)- Bignotti chose to play at LCC, as opposed to
attending U mpqua CC, because there are "lots of interesting people in Eugene."
The Hidden Valley H.S. (Grant's Pass) graduate was named to the Southern
Oregon conference's all league second-team during her senior year. The 5'8"
freshman hopes to become a physical therapist and her goals upon finishing
her education are to "get a good job and be happy."
KRISTI POTTER (34)- The 5'7'' freshman isa former second-team Oregon
All-State selection. Named co-MVP of her team at Central Linn H.S. in
Brownsville, Potter also wants to be regarded as one of the top defensive
players in the NW AACC. Majoring in psychology, Potter wants to transfer to
the U of O and pursue a four-year degree in that field.
MARTY HARTLEY (24) -The former Mollala H.S. star would like to
continue to be part of a winning team as she joins the Titans for her freshman
year. During her senior year at Mollala, Hartley led the team to its first ever
appearance in the state playoffs. The 5'8" freshman hopes to play well enough,
while at LCC, to catch the attention of a four-year school's basketball program.
CINDY VICKERMAN (10)-Vickerman hails from the thriving metropolis
of Paisley in south-central Oregon. Adjusting to the Eugene-Springfield lifestyle
after spending all of her life in a town of 350 has been difficult for the 5'7"
freshman. However, playing basketball has eased the transition. Vickerman
hopes to get a degree in elementary education and return to the land between
the Summer Lake and Lake Abert to teach school.

RON RICHARDS - Assistant Coach - Richards begins his second year
as the Titan assistant coach. Richards came to LCC after coaching at both the
high school (SheldonH.S. in Eugene) and college (Washington State University)
levels.
BECKY BELL (44)- Bell joins the Titans after completing her season with
LCC's Volleyball team. The 5'2" freshman was her team's MVP at Mapleton
H.S. and was named to the Tri-Co Conference' sall-league first team. Bell hopes
to transfer to Western Oregon State to play basketball when she completes her
eligibility at LCC.
CATHI REISBECK (12) - In addition to being a good student, the 5'4"
freshman juggles playing basketball between her school work and com mu ting
to Albany for a part-time job. Her goal this season is to be named the top
defensive player in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges
(NWAACC) conference. Blessed with thequalitiesof speed and determination,
Reisbeck is continuing her education after a two-year hiatus since graduating
from Springfield H.S. •
KATY CARTER (14) - Carter is the lone Eugene native on the Titans.
Hailing from Sheldon H.S., the 5'7" freshman aspires to being named as one of
the NWAACC's top defensive players. Although her major is yet to be
decided, Carter aspires to a career in architecture or interior design.
CARRIE REDIFER (22) - Redifer is the only other sophomore on a
relatively young Titan team. Before graduating from Centennial High School

by Scott Conrad
for the Torch

For the true Oregon Duck football
fan there will be no better way to enjoy
the holidays than to attend (or view on
television) the 1990 Freedom Bowl in
Anaheim, Calif.
As the Ducks fly south to Orange
County for their matchup against the
Colorado State Rams of the Western
Athletic Conference, U of O officials
are estimating that 12,000-15,000 of their
fans may attend the Dec. 29 game. Four
thousand tickets had already been sold
by Nov. 12, but U of O officials say that
.fans wishing to attend the game should
not encounter any trouble acquiring
tickets.

• Tickets - Tickets for the Freedom
Bowl are $28 and can be purchased
through the U of O ticket office by
calling 344-4461 or 1-800-WEBFOOT,
or by writing the U of O ticket office at
McArthur Court, Eugene, OR 97403.

All orders must be received by Dec. 3,
for priority seating. Al 1orders received
after Dec. 14, will be placed at Will Call
at McArthur Court on the U of 0
campus. If not picked up at McArthur
Court, tickets will be placed in Will Call
at Anaheim Stadium on game day.

• Do-it-yourself travel-Many Duck
fans will drive to Anaheim. U of 0
officials say there will be plenty of hotel
and motel rooms available. The
Anaheim Chamber of Commerce says
that the average motel rate in the area is
$60. Further questions about lodging,
places to eat, things to see and do, or
any other questions that may arise can
be answered by calling the Anaheim
Chamber of Commerce at 1-714-7580222 •

• Travel packages - The U of 0
Alumni Association, Red Baron Travel,
Ship's Ahoy Cruise and Travel and
Classic World Travel are among the
area's travel agencies putting packages
together for the Freedom Bowl. Prices
for the trip to Anaheim can run as much
as$595 per person (double-occupancy),
however, several other options are
available to Duck fans who cannot
afford the cost of the luxurious trips
offered by the travel agencies.

It took Galileo 16 years to master the universe.

You have one night.
It seems unfair. The genius had all that time. 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.
