Lane Community College ThreeASLCC members resign by Devan C. Wilson Torch Editor The Associated Students of Lane Community College (ASLCC) has faced three separate resignations by members of the student government organization since the beginning of December. Sherie Tews resigned her position as Student Resource Center (SRC) director, Noah O'Hare resigned as communications director, and Sara SemanaBerg resigned as senator. • ASLCC President ~ Michael Omogrosso says Tews was offered a posi::::> tion at Disney World in Orlando, Fla., and she felt that she could not refuse the opportunity. Ernie ERNIE WOODLAND Woodland was appointed by Omogrosso to fill the vacant position, and his appointment was approved by the Senate at its Dec. 10 meeting. Woodland, who had served as assistant SRC director, is optimistic about his new role. "Being here (as SRC director) gives me an opportunity to meet a lot of the students and it gives me a voice in the student government," he says. • Omogrosso says O'Hare resigned his position as communications director because he felt he had too many time commitments between ASLCC, school, and other personal involvements. Omogrossoappoint edSenatorSethCrai gtofill the post, and the Senate ratified the appointment at its Jan. 7 meeting. • Semana-Berg, Omogrosso says, chose to resign so she could to return to her home in Mexico City, due to personal problems. WithSemana-Berg 'sresignation,andC raigvacatinghis seat on the Senate to fill the communications director post, two senate positions are now open, as well as a senate seat forahighschoolcom pletion program,Omogross osays. To qualify, students must first apply, circulate a petition to gather 100 supportive student's signatures, and attend three Senate meetings. The Senate then votes and candidates must attain two-thirds majority to capture the seat. Thomas appointed to VP post Interim ASLCC Vice President Maya Thomas has been appointed to fill the position on a permanent basis for the rest of the school year. Thomas has served as interim VP since fall term. Sione Barra to de Araujo, who was elected as ASLCC VP on a ticket with Omogrosso in last spring' s student election, has been denied a student visa by the U.S. Consulate in her native Brazil, barring her return to LCC.

The United Nations deadline for Iraq to pull out of Kuwait. With the arrival of that date comes a bizarre irony. Jan. 15, the day on which our "kinder and gentler'' president yearns to wage war on the man he perceives as a "devil in the East," is also the birthday of the modern day "Prince of Peace," slain civil rights leader Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (even though the holiday celebrating King's birthday is slated for Jan. 21). So, it's easy to wonder: How would Dr. King have reacted to the current crisis in the gulf? What words of wisdom would he have offered to a nation on the verge of war? "The choice today is not between violence and non-violence. It is either non-violence or non-existence," said Dr. King in 1964 during his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, and although the words are over 25 years old, they still ring true today. As many Americans and their elected officials debate the question of violence or non-violence, economic sanctions or war, they are ignoring the issue the country actually faces: nonviolence or non-existence. Nostradamus predicted in the fourteenth century that the world would end in 1999 -that this total destruction would begin in the Middle East, and be fueled by a "king" in a blue hat. Nostradamus also inferred, however, that though this was only his prediction, humans could alter the course of history, and save their own existence. Dr. King, through his efforts to initiate equality for black people, worked to alter the course of history - a history of unjustified repression. And were Dr. King alive today, he undoubtedly would be at the forefront of efforts to alleviate tension in the gulf, working again to alter the course of history. "The question is not whether we will be extremis ts, but what kind of extremists we will be . .. The nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremis ts." These, of course, are also the words of Dr. King, spoken in 1963 and published in 1968. If we are opposed to a possible war in the gulf, then these are also words we should take to heart. And just how can those opposed to the gulf crisis apply creative extremism? Shall they bar entry into federal buildings by blocking the doors? Shall they burn their draft cards (should the draft be reinstated)? Well ... no. While such activities may be extreme, they are hardly creative. Roger Williams of Rhode Island was a creative extremisthe founded the first colony based on total religious toleration. Thomas Jefferson was a creative extremist - he wrote the Declaration of Independence. Harriet Beecher Stowe was a creativeextremist-shewrotea book in 1852, Uncle Tom's Cabin which inflamed passions that led to the abolition of slavery. Where is someone of this extremist caliber when we really need him or her? Obviously, nowhere in Washington D.C. Though Dr. King is no longer alive (a victim of the very • violence he was opposed to), it seems obvious that he would .encourage the same creative extremism he spoke of before his death. He would do the logical thing: speak loudly and clearly against violence and attempt to teach us a new way to solve differences between nations. ~~ Editor ..... _ _ _ _ _ _ ______ _ _ __ ________ Devan C.

We should pray that all the young people of our community realize war is not the way to solve our problems. Any who may be tempted to confuse duty with killing and war- please seek out a trusted older friend and get help to explore your alternatives. There is evil in Baghdad and in the White House, and it is no match for the love which resides in the human heart and which will ultimately conquer all forms of violence. We can stand strong, true and proud of ourselves; the first step is to refuse cooperation with Evil's intentions. VipShort 37W.17thAv. Eugene, Or 97401 One week left To the Editor, Less than one week left. Less than one week left till our egocentric President charges our nation into war. Under the facade of national interest, the majority is once again being forced into something that will only benefit the few. Are parents of soldiers really more interested in cheap oil than in the lives of their sons and daughters? Did our soldiers join to defend their homeland or to defend corporate America? I cannot fool myself into thinking that this will be a good war. The only good thing that has ever come from war, is the understanding that war is wrong. It is against my spiritual and moral values to kill. I realize that our soldiers are more interested in paying for college than in killing. I pray that they will be forgiven for what they are about to do.

War is more than the simple flexing of national muscles, or a soldier's pursuitofhonorandglory. Toputitplainly, as Civil War General William T. Sherman said, " .... war is Hell." General Sherman should know. His Union Army troops marched from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia. They pillaged and burned (and often raped) everything in their path and they looted the farms of rich and poor alike. Often they became so caught up in their destiny of destruction, that their officers could not prevent atrocities. They created an inferno which left the onceproud state of Georgia a smoking ruin. World War II was the epitome of Hell to those who suffered from it. Imagine if you can ... 170,000 Japanese lost their lives in two days at Nagasaki and Hiroshima ... 200,000 plus Germans died during the American/British firebombing of Dresden ... around 250,000 American soldiers were killed and around 1 million wounded during the war ... the Nazis exterminated at least six million Jews ... 20 million Russians perished between 1939-45. This is just a partial list. In a more graphic illustration, this means that every seat at Autzen Stadium could be filled at least 850 times with a dead body from World War II and the whole population of presentday Oregon could be exterminated 13 times. This doesn't account for the physically and mentally wounded. The concept of honor and glory for the individual soldier is something akin to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I fail to see the honor and glory of collecting ears and executing prisoners who already have their hands tied behind their backs. During Vietnam, some U.S. Marines considered ita badgeofhonortoattach the ears of dead Vietnamese to the antennae of their armored personnel carriers. Our allies, soldiers for the Republic of Korea Army, were famous fortheirinterrogationmethodof throwing one prisoner out of an airborne helicopter to get other prisoners to talk. commentary by robert catalano I fail to see the honor and glory of collecting ears and executing prisoners who already have their hands tied behind their backs. Of course, there are moments of bravery and compassion in war, but they need to be put into the proper perspective, within the total collage of destruction. U.S. Army medics often helped deliver babies in war zones and although witnessing or having a hand in the birthing process brings some sense of life amid all of the death, bringing one life into the world when thousands around are being killed doesn't seem too important. It's sort of like trying to Wish li~t for world change Welcome back for Winter Term. "From the Heart'' is starting off the New Year with a wish list for local and global change. . Local Wish Number One: Replace the money taken away by Ballot Measure Five. Wish Number Two: Find permanent low-income housing _for present and future homeless individuals. Wish Number Three: End personal loneliness, or at least develop healthier attitudes toward others not within our inner circle. Also implement a social structure in which all people would be a welcomed part, where all could find companionship. Wish Number Four: Cut bureaucracy by simplifying our government's systems,and erase victimless crimes from our law books. Wish Number Five: End unnecessary legal prohibitions - instead teach people what the consequences really are concerning drugs, traffic safety measures, prostitution, and so on, and then let them live their lives the way they choose. Wish Number Six: Clear everyone's credit rating, or let those that have no credit be Te aCh-i n able to achieve it, so all Americans can have equal opportunity. In essence, eliminate the obstacles that prevent many people from advancing. Wish Number Seven: Abolish prejudice in all forms - from the heart jim jarboe racial, sexual, and international. Let's lift the blinders that keep us from seeing things as they actually are. Wish Number Eight: Take veal off the menu here at LCC. I'm not a vegetarian but the way veal (calf meat) is produced is cruel. It is a travesty that the college supports the industry's practices by selling veal on campus. This issue will appear on the Ballot in the spring student election. Students interested in becoming active in stopping animal abuse can attend Students Against Animal Abuse meetings on Fridays at 2:30 in the Center Building Room 8. Wish Number Nine: Forge a global community that will put all the earth's peoples on the same economic and political level. The Mid East Crisis is obviously an immediate example of the need for people to work together both economically and politically. The debate focuses on Iraq's Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait and the U.S. military's reaction. Should the U.S. use force to remove Hussein ? Does the president have the power to declare war without Congressional approval? Locally, these issues will be debated in depth on the deadline for Iraqi withdrawal, Jan. 15, from noon till 1 p.m. in LCC's Boardroom. The debate is sponsored by the Social Science Dept. For further information contact instructor Joe Kremers ext. 2434. If these wishes seem like pretty tall orders, that's all right. We must set our goals high to have the vision to see a better tomorrow. I'll analyze these wishes in the coming weeks to illustrate how close to becoming reality they really are. continued from page 1 have not made arrangements with campus officials, or even attempted to contact them, after initial meetings to arrange to display the posters and announce the intention to hold a sit-in. Student Services personnel and ASLCC representatives aren't even sure of the identity of the coordinators. Director of Student Activities Jay Jones says that he has "no problems" with a sit-in in an appropriate area. "So long as it's not violating the rights of others" or disturbing the business of the college. Jones says he hopes to communicate with the illusive organizers. In order to conduct a legal sit-in on campus, coordinators would need to register their function with Student Activities and give an agenda to Campus Security. ~\e~~o,'{i'l You don't have to go through it alone.

There are also war stories about single soldiers sacrificing their lives to protect the Ii ves of their comrades. These dead heroes may help the war effort by allowing their comrades to live and fight another day, but it does little to assuage the pain felt by the families and loved ones of the heroic. Honor and glory, and the resulting medals, do little to propagate future generations or answer the question of what might have been. There are other losses from war seldom talked about. What about the future generations of families snuffed out by the death of a sole surviving son; the children who never get a chance to be raised by both parents; the wives or the husbands who will come home to houses full of loneliness and memories of good times and love before the war; and the lost innocence of soldiers who must kill and see death before they are legally allowed to drink. War is truly Hell. Nothing we can gain from it will come close to matching what we would lose.

"(Brown Baby) really says most of what I feel," she says. " 'Brown Baby, I want you to stand up tall and proud, I want you to speak up clear and loud.' My mother had said that since I was little she wanted to hear me sing this song." Obo Addy, a native of Ghana, was exposed to MAYA THOMAS ceremonial drumming, dancing, and singing by his father, a tribal priest and medicine man. Victory Review magazine says, "Obo Addy is a master drummer and itis the drum that is the heartbeat of this music. Dancing, singing, and talking to us, Obo's drums bubble with energy." The Inspirational Sounds, founded by Gainer in 1983, have appeared at the three previous ASLCC-sponsored celebrations, and is regarded as one of the top gospel choirs in the Pacific Northwest. The group is unique in that its members constitute a large percentage of non-blacks, while the sound is reminiscent of an all black "sound of Pentecost" church choir. Planning the event has presented a challenge to Rosewood, who says "I definitely felt things were somewhat out of control at some times." However, she credits, among others, ASLCC Communications Director Seth Craig with easing her burden. "I (now) feel like it's manageable . . . and it's manageable basically because of Seth," who has worked very hard and proficiently in promoting the event, she says. Tickets to the event are available in the LCC Theater Box Office and are free to all. Senate fills vacant seats, discusses ex VP's return by Tracy Brooks Torch Editorial Staff In the Monday,Jan. 7meeting of ASLCC, student government members voted to ratify two persons into cabinet positions. Maya Thomas, who filled the ASLCC vice president's position on an interim basis Fall Term was elected by the senate to fill the post permanently in place of Edisione de Araujo. Araujo was elected by popular vote in the spring election, but is unable to return to the U.S. from her native Brazil. Senator Seth Craig was elected by the senate to fill the vacated position of communicationsdirector, replacingNoa O'Hare. Craig's move to Communications Director leaves a senate position open, in addition to two senate sea ts already vacant. In other business: • President Michael Omogrosso, in having talked to Araujo, approached the Senate with the idea of creating an honorary position for Araujo, should she eventually return to the U.S., due to the fact that she was elected by the student body ina popular vote. The Senate agreed and Thomas will research the possibility of a position with tuition paid or some other form of gratuity. • The Senate voted to grant the Forensics Team $120 to fund student meals on a tournament taking place Jan. 12 and 13. Team adviser Barbara Breaden and student member Dan Clark originally requested $490 for three tournaments.

"We Work For Our Members" 686-9251 I Page6 January 11, 1991 The Torch ur 8J Dislocated workers receive RV training by Tracy Brooks Torch Editorial Staff Nineteen dislocated workers are now pursuing new careers through LCC's R.V. Service Technicians Certification program. The National Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (NRVIA) for R.V. service technicians awarded LCC certification for the program last November. One of only six pilot programs in the U.S., LCC's program is co-sponsored by the Mechanics Department and Training and Development, says Ellen Palmer, training specialist. According to Palmer, the program came about when members of the private sector approached Mechanics Department Chairman Ted Kotsakis with the idea that certification in the field of R.V. service might be available throughNRVIA. Palmer says that some contacts were made, and when possibilities for the program looked good, Kotsakis approached Training and Development for funding, since money was not available in the school's general fund. When Training and Development looked into the idea, they found that, "It did fit the needs of our dislocated workers," says Palmer. The Southern Willamette Private Industry Council, which funds the dislocated workers program, allocated $68,000 to start the program. Once a program was established for fall term, the Mechanics Department and Training and Development approached NRVIA to gain certification in NRVIA's national pilot program for R.V. service technicians. According to Palmer, LCC "really had to sell the program to them." NRVIA officials wanted to have programs in metrc,politan centers, and initially were not interested in a small urban area such as Eugene. They bought the idea, though, and Palmer believes this to be because of the enthusiasm in the area's private field and because LCC had the program so well underway. Students currently ·enrolled in the program are expected to complete their studies spring term. Upon leaving, says Palmer, students will have Liquid Pro- photo by Erin Nail on Jim Stepp (center) and Jim Wright (left) read over a refridgeration repair manual as Charlie Abshere looks on. The three are among dislocated workers training in RV maintenance in a new program at LCC. pane Certification, as well as certification to service R.V.'s. Some will also have welding certification, she says. "This has been an incredible experi-· ence for us," says Palmer. She notes that a great deal of flexibility was necessary for the program to be accommodated on such short notice. Instructors come from a wide field, including Mechanics Department faculty and local technicians. Palmer says that next year, the service program will fall completely under the Mechanics Department umbrella, and will be funded through the school's general fund. Lack of bus stop coVer leads to wonder: 'Where is it?' by Chris Prather Torch Staff Writer "Why do I have to stand here in the rain. I hate waiting for the bus in the rain." Many LCC students who ride Lane Transit District buses to and from campus may have begun towonderaboutthenew LTD station. They probably question aloud, ''Where is the roof, and • When will it be here? "I haven't been caught in the rain yet," concedes LCC student Lenora Davis when asked her feelings about the station that is still topless. However, another admits, "It's really irritating when it's raining. They have the sides to it; why not the top?" "It would be nice if there was a cover," adds student Joy Smith. So where is the roof? . Well ... in Portland, being painted to match the rest of the transit station, says Paul Zvonkovic, transit planner for LTD. LTD began renovating and enlarging the transit station on LCC' s main campus late last summer, with a new design in order to improve the existing facilities. "The objective with the sta- tion was to make a bigger and better waiting area," states Zvonkovic. "We wanted to provide better access between the main campus and the station." According to LTD Planning Administrator Stefano Viggiano the old station was too narrow and couldn't effectively serve crowds of people. The new station is larger than the old and capable of sheltering considerably more people. LTD also added a sidewalk on the north side of the driveway. RESERVE But, why is the roof late in getting here? The plastic material for the skylighting in the new structure, which according to Zvonkovic is still a fairly new idea to the U.S., originates in Germany and is ordered through a Connecticut-based company called Universal Plastics. "There was miscommunication between the contractor and manufacturer," Zvonkovic says. "The skylighting material never got shipped with the OFFICERS' frame." And so, when will the roof arrive? According to Viggiano, the new roof should arrive within thenextcoupleofweeks. Until then, LTD has put up small temporary shelters which will be removed as soon as the roof is in place. And what does LTD have to sayaboutthewet, waterlogged passengers? Says Zvonkovic, It's real unfortunate, and has caused a lot of concern here."

The ticket holders represented all age groups, yet Simon' smusic allowed them to cross generations and fuse into one. Simon's ability to adapt music from around the world coupled with his past achievements made for a significant music event. Simon started the show off with "Boy in the Bubble" and included such perennial favorites as "Bridge Over Troubled Water'' and "Late in the Evening" interspersed with the songs from his more recent albums. The ability to draw on past glory allowed him to infuse his newer music with familiarity. At the same time his more recent musical experiences definitely breathed new life into his classic songs. His rearrangement of "Cecilia" with a Latin rhythm ~nd some new interpretation of the words left me feeling refreshed. Simon also injected "Bridge Over Troubled Water'' with some new African harmonies and rhythms after a more familiar introduction. "Graceland," "Obvious Child," "Late in the Evening" and "Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes" also demonstrated changes in arrangement made possible by influences and time. During a break his band highlighted its reed player, Michael Brecker. His use of a synthesized clarinet was phenomenal, and the fusion number that he soloed into , was a refreshing break from the pop sounds. The guitarists, Vincent Nguini, and John Selolwane I Ray Phiri, I weren t masters of subtlety and often covered the solos with the barest adequacy. The bass player was a refreshing discovery because he is actually as good, if not better, than the studio bassist from the album. The rhythm section is beyond compare. The keyboard solo by artists TonyCedratand Richard Tee into "Bridge Over Troubled Water'' was creative and surprisingly different from the original. The percussionists, Mingo Arua jo, Cyro Babtista, Dom Chacal and Cindino, were wonderful. They synthesized their different styles and instrumentation into a solid tapestry that was almost distracting. There are some inadequacies in the production of the show. It was difficult to hear the horn section during most of the show. This was particularlydistractingduring"Call Me Al" because it is a horn feature. The mix went heavy on the guitar sound at the expense of the horns and keyboard. It was obvious that the engineers were varying the volume during the show. "Call Me Al" was so out of tune that perhaps Simon was unable to hear his monitors over the noise. The "Born at the Right Time" tour is well produced and professionally •organized. The music is timeless and timely. Somehow none of the criticism matters when, at the end of the show, 25,000 people join in harmony to sing "The Boxer" and be at one with each other. LCC musician performs in D.C. b)" Scott Conrad Torch Staff Writer The International Association of Jazz Educators (IAJE) Convention in Washington, D.C. had an entry from LCC this week. Music major Scott John is performing in the convention scheduled totakeplace Jan. 8-13. John was selected to perform with 19 other musicians from community colleges around the U.S. in an all star big band. "I am looking forward to representing LCC," says John. "It will be a good chance for LCC to get a little publicity in a nationwide atmosphere." John attended Mount Hood Community College for two years on a full talent grant.

LCC offered him a full talent grant for the 1990-91 school year. "I was skeptical about coming to LCC from Mount Hood. Mount Hood has a reputation of having an outstanding jazz field. When I got to LCC, I was surprised to discover that the level of musicianship was considerably better than I first thought," John said. During the past few years, John's talents have not gone unrecognized. He has performed with the likes of Doc Severenson of the "Tonight Show," The Four Freshmen, and The Hilos. He has performed in The Mount Hood Festival of Jazz the past three years and is currently playing with the UO Jazz Lab I. 0JIJjtH@!i!!?\(\:;::: ■i~.~ff ;wH.~iq~ave.ab ,;~;;~~~~~i,£~ /l:3Y, plac / . . · . ·.... .• •· . . . . .. . x > . . ·.·.·•· • ·1 .~JfJs, . g{,~~~IJl more genuine.

Board of Ed approves Ellison's appointment by Mary Browning Torch Associate Editor The LCC Board of Education approved the hiring of Vice President of Instruction Jim Ellison and the funding for the LCC Foundation from the college's general fund at its Jan. 9 meeting. The board approved Ellison's appointment with no discussion. Board members, however, discussed the approval of funding for the Foundation at length. The approved funding will cover operation costs of the Foundation, a non-profit organization which raises funds and manages donations and endowments to the college. Despite several board members expressing concern with the organization's inabilty to pay for itself, the board did grant the requested amount of funding. - Foundation President Ed Anderson and Director Joe Farmer were among those present to represent the Foundation. In other business: • The board listened. to a proposal from a Japanese university to build a satellite campus close to LCC. President Jerry Moskus called the board's response to the proposal "supportive," and said that the Japanese organization would need to be informed of possible complications with a sewage system and zoning laws. • Vice President of Financial Services Dick Hillier presented the board with a summary financial report of the college for July 1, 1990 through Nov. 30, 1990. Hillier says that he anticipates the college to be $1.5 million in the black for that fiscal period. The excesses, he says, are due to an increase in the number of students, increased tuition, unexpected interest on revenues, and more tax revenues. • Director of Student Activities Jay Jones' retirement, effective May 30, was accepted. • Board member Larry Perry announced that he would not be a candidate in the March election for another term on the board. Board Chair Jim Pitney announced that he has already filed as a candidate for re-election. Both Perry and Pitney are serving their fourth term (16 years) as LCC board members. • The board also met in an executive (closed to the public) session before the general meeting to evaluate Moskus. Pitney released a statement after the session which stated that the board was "well-ple~sed" with Moskus. The statement cited the high morale, enthusiasm, and expectations at the college due to Moskus' "people" leadership.

Not only were the Titans defeated by both Umpqua CC and Chemeketa CC, and they may have lost their coach of seventeen years, Dale Bates. On Jan. 9, Coach Bates submitted his resignation to the LCC administration, though he chooses not to reveal at just this point when his resignation takes effect. budgetary Citing limitations and fundraising hassles, Bates had announced hisintentionstoquitasLCC's Head Basketball Coach as early as Spring 1990. Although the Titans scored the first twelve points in the Jan. 8 game at Roseburg, Umpqua came back to tie the game by halftime 25-25. Umpqua took a 33-26 lead with three minutes into the second half but got into early foul trouble. However, LCC missed the first shot of three separate one-and-ones and were unable to profit from Umpqua's mistakes.
