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.

OPINION POLL

Question of the week: In light of the current crisis in Kuwait , do you think that women should
be required to register with Selective Service upon reaching age

Jan. 15.
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.

Evil in Bagdad,
White House
To the Editor,
I saw the new year in from a
hill overlooking Eugene, and
as the hour turned I heard the
sounds of war. 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.

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.

Death is the ultimate price of waging war
As the U.S. prepares for a conflict in
the Middle East, Americans should take
a moment to reflect on the actual meaning of the word "war."
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.

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.

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.

quench thirst with a single drop of
water.
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.

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.
However, ASLCC' s new policy requires the senate to table
requests for funds over $50,
except in pressing matters. The
Senate voted to override the
policy and granted partial
funds to cover this tournament,
due to the time limit involved.
The remaining funds requested
will be voted on at a later date.

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-

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."

review by David Valdez
Torch Staff Writer

Twenty - five thousand people
crowded into the Tacoma Dome to
witness the start of the West Coast
leg of Paul Simon's "Born at the
Right Time" tour. 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.

order to attend LCC after efforts to attend the UO had
failed. 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

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.

Try to look at the bright side.
When it warms up to freezing,
it will seem like a heat wave.
The next time you get to bed
you'll sleep like a dog on a

won't owe much in taxes, and
you'll probably feel better with

Who can resist? Everyone

try, and its al ways a 500 calorie

should just learn to live with
the 10 to 20 pounds I gain this
