'Operation Desert Storm' launched with predawn air assault
by Devan C. Wilson
Torch Editor

The United States and allied
troops unleashed a powerful
air strike against Iraq early
Thursday morning in the first
step toward driving Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's troops
from occupied Kuwait.
Said President Bush in
Washington, "The liberation of
Kuwait has begun."

Hussein countered from
Baghdad in a speech broadcast
by Iraqi state radio by calling
Bush a "hypocritical criminal,"
and vowed to crush "the satanic intentions of the White
House."
"The great showdown has
begun," he said.
Atapproximately12:50a.m.
Iraqi time (1 :50 p.m. PST) on a
moonless starlit night, hundreds of warplanes began

streaking north toward
Baghdad from Saudi Arabian
bases in the first action of "Operation Desert Storm."
As the first F-lSE fighterbombers took off from the largest U.S.airbaseincentralSaudi
Arabia, Col. Ray Davies, the
base's chief maintenance officer, said, "This is history in the
making."
In Baghdad, bomb explosions shook the ground around

the Iraqi capital, reporters in
the area said. As the explosive
flashes of what was apparently
anti-aircraft fire lit the night,
an oil refinery 10 miles from
the city roared in flames, according to reporters.
Aimed at troops and other
strategic sites in both Iraq and
Kuwait, the air offensive included U.S. Air Force planes,
British Tornado fighter-bombers, Saudi Arabian F-15s and

Tornados, and aircraft from
Ku wait' sexiled military, allied
officials reported.
In a televised address to the
nation, President Bush said
Wednesday night,"All reasonable efforts" to resolve the Gulf
crisis by diplomacy and economic sanctions had failed and
Hussein "met every overture
of peace with contempt ... The
world could wait no longer."

Sit-in, teach-in held on campus
by Kelley Egre
Torch Staff Writer

Kevin Mergel speaks out in opposition of U.S. intervention in the Persian Gulf during an open mike session of Tuesday's Teach-in in the
Forum Building.

On Jan. 15, the day designated as
Saddam Hussein's deadline to leave
Ku wait, a mixture of sadness and hope
filled LCC student's hearts as the prospect of war threatened.
In an effort to possibly focus their
anger in a peaceful manner, many students and staff participated in two oncampussit-ins. Though protests at LCC
were small compared to those in downtown Eugene, they held the same aura
of fear and anger.
Early on Tuesday morning and
continuing throughout the rest of the
day,asmallgroup-sometime schanging faces but barely increasing over an
averageofabout15-gathere daround
an open PA system to listen to and
speak about feelings, hopes, and fears
regarding the impending war.
"I think the sit-in would have been
more important if there had been more
people there," said LCC protester David
Valdez. "But we did make a difference.
Everyone makes a difference."
Atnoon thesameday,SocialScience
Instructor Joe Kremers held a teach-in
for students and staff in the Forum
Building.

Women's Day to explore career options
by Mary Browning
Torch Associate Editor

"It was my day of discovery," says
LCC student Barbara Jorgensen of the
first ''Women's Day at Lane" workshop.
"(If it weren't for the program) I
would still be standing back saying
'I'm going to do it sometime.' I had the
bestofintentions (to go back to school),
bu tit took something like the workshop
to get me started."
Now, 26 credits later, Jorgensen is
started. Back in school for the first time

in 35 years, she has gone through the
Transitions to Success Program, is
currently in the Medical Office
Assistance Program - which she
learned about at last year's workshop
- and has a 4.0 cumulative G.P.A.
LCC Women's Program resource
coordinator Jill Bradley also calls last .
year's Women's Day program "very
successful."
Which is why LCC is hosting the free
career exploration workshop for
women for the second consecutiveyear.

The event is organized by the
Women's Program and sponsored by
the LCC Marketing Council as an
outreach program.
''Women's Day at Lane" is open to
both students and women who are not
currently enrolled at LCC, according to
Bradley. The workshop will run from 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 26. Four
sessions are planned to orient women
to career options and job prospects:

Women activists gone too far

Commit allegiance
to soldiers in Gulf
With the U.S.-led invasionoflraq underway, the allied forces
have begun to take control of the skies over Iraq and Kuwait.
Soon ground forces will surge forward in an effort to reclaim
Kuwaiti soil from the hands of Saddam Hussein.
Yes, the invasion has begun, and only just begun. Many days
of fighting for control of the desert sands still lie ahead, as well
as prolonged moments of anxious waiting from Americans
everywhere.
Regardless of individual citizen's stances on the Gulf crisis, be
it opposition or support, we all are wishing and praying for a
quick, safe return home for American and allied soldiers.
It is atthis time, then, that we must make a commitment to the
soldiers carrying out Operation Desert Storm.
Some citizens do not fully support the action taken by George
Bush; others feel he has taken the only course of action available.
As Americans we are entitled by our constitution to voice our
opposition or support, and voice it loudly. But as we speak out,
and especially if we speak out against U.S. involvement in the
Gulf, we must cast forth a solid cry of support for the military
personnel putting their lives on the line like pawns in the
chessgame underway in the desert.
Soldiers returning from Vietnam came home to a nation torn
apart over the violence waged in the Vietnamese jungles, rivers
and mountains. Many of these men were taken from a life of
strife and poverty in the inner cities of America, from a daily war
for survival, and thrust into a far deadlier war being fought for
a cause with which they never could begin to identify. Like the
soldiers in the Mideast, they too were pawns in a chessgame
being played by our elected officials. The only crime they were
truly guilty of in Vietnam was surviving.
They returned from the jungles as victims, but they were
treated as criminals. They were verbally abused. They were spat
upon. They had dog food thrown at them.
They were scapegoats. Anger and disgust at our elected
officials, who were responsible for the war in Vietnam, was
thrust upon the soldiers who carried out the commands of those
in power.
Today, it is widely recognized that these men were in fact
heroes, and the treatment they received upon return was unjust
and unwarranted.
When the soldiers fighting in the Mideast return to their
homes, regardless of our attitudes about Persian Gulf policy, we
must not condemn them for their actions. We must realize the
roles they played in the desert: pieces on a gameboard, manipulated by our elected officials.
That commitment needs to begin now. As we take to streets in
protest or support, our message must be clear: we are loyal to the
individual soldiers, marines, and airmen fighting in the desert.
We recognize their role in the Gulf crisis. We support them and
their individual actions, regardless of our stance on their mission.
Like the veterans of Vietnam, some of these soldiers may
return home as victims, but we can't allow them to return to the
stigma of being a criminal.

t'~

To all the Womens' Rights
activists: You've earned the
right to go to war, but the
question is: Why?
I feel that we women have
gone a mite bit too far. Why
would you want the right to
kill? To take care of all the
suppressed anger at men? To
prove we are as strong as the
supposed stronger gender? Do
we ever take into consideration the fact that we bear mankind?
Why would we want to kill
our children? On the other

~

The Torch

hand, we have also earned the
right to die in a cold, bloody
war. Did we think about that
beforehand?
My thoughts are, if the men
want to die to protect us, why
not let them? I'm not saying
that some women don't want
to be part of the forces, but
there are women out there in
this country that join the military just to push the fact that
they can. If women had always
held the right to go to war,
would these women now days
make the same decision to go if
they felt as equal as men? I'm
sure some would, though I
wouldn't.

Where did the age of chivalryrunaway to? The time men
would open doors for us, the
time they would bring us flowers instead of a can of beer? The
time they .w ould put the toilet
seat down for us? Thanks to
the overworkings of women's
lib, pregnant women who were
happy with the way things
used to be and elderly people
have to stand in the aisle on the
bus instead of even one person
giving up a seat. Why?
And to all women, whatwe
really wanted was the right to
choose-to choose whether or
not we want to kill or be killed;

Violence prevails
In the November 9 issue of
the Torch, an interview with
Wes Chamberlain, the selfdefense and karate instructor,
was printed. In that printing it
was stated that violence against
women does not seem to be as
prevalent as it once was.
Statistics show that reports
of violence against women are
as prevalent as they have been
in the past. In fact, generally,
they are increasing. Some of
these statistics are shown below:
Number of persons staying in
shelter homes in Oregon:
1986-2473 women,2866children
1987 -2552 women, 2971 children

1988-2587 women, 3014 children
1989-2623 women, 3203 children

U.S. playing into the hands of Iraq's Hus$ein
"Wars are poor chisels for caroing out peaceful tomorrows ... We
must pursue peaceful ends
through peaceful means. The ultimate weakness of violence is that
itisa descending spiral, begetting
the very thing it seeks to destroy.
Instead of diminishing evil, it
multiplies it.
Through violence you may
murder the liar, but you cannot
murder the lie, nor establish the
truth. Through violence you
merely increase hate. Returning
violence for violence multiplies
violence, adding deeper darkness
to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out
darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate: Only
love can do that."
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The United States and the
rest of the free world is now
playingintoSaddamHussein's
hands by using the weak solution - military force-to deal
with the crisis. Hussein wants
to disrupt our global economy
and to unite the Arab nations
against Israel. Ironically, the
U.S. will now help him do it.

King Hussein of Jordan has
stated he will not tolerate invasion of his airspace, but if Israel
becomes embroiled in the conflict, this is inevitable. Thus,
Jordan, Israel's adversary, may
join with Iraq.

from
the
heart
jim jarboe
Now that the U.S. has
plunged into war, the international economy is already
showing signs of instability.
President Bush stated the
reason the U.S. is involved in
the Persian Gulf is to insure
that Iraq will not be rewarded
for its aggression. In fact, it is
hypocritical to use aggression
to stop aggression.
The U.S. has not givensanctions enough time to work.
With time, sanctions would
crush Hussein- without the

use of force. Congress had little
choice Jan. 12 and 13 but to
back Bush after he had virtually declared war by initiating
the United Nations ultimatum
to Hussein to leave Kuwait by
Jan. 15. Even though Congress
was up against the wall by the
president's commitment of so
much manpower and money,
a resolution to give Bush power
to use force was a very close
vote, passing by only five votes
in the Senate. While it also
passed in the House, it was by
no means passed by a large
margin. Surely, it would have
been different had the vote
come before the deployment
of the first troops.
Oregon Congressman Peter
Defazio said recently, 'When
the Muslims of the world see
the videotape footage of the
dead Muslim women and children, American citizens will
not be safe anywhere. We will
in effect create a nation of Salman Rushdies, the author of
Satanic Verses, who is unable to
travel abroad withoutconstant
fear of attempts to take his life."

U.S. intervention justified
In 1990, the United States made some very
important changes in the lives of its neighbors in other countries. The U.S. ended the
cold war with the Soviets, and some very
promising agreements were made between
the two nations.
But in 1991, war is back. The Iraqi government has been holding the tiny Persian Gulf
country of Kuwait hostage since the summer
of 1990. While the U.S. and the United Nations attempted to persuade the Iraqi governmenttoagreeonsometypeof withdrawal
from Kuwait, the U.S. committed some
400,000-plus troops to the sands of Saudi
Arabia with more expected to be called up in
the near future.
While the Iraqi invasion of its neighbor
was in progress, the Kuwaiti government
asked the U.S. for military assistance in
removing the Iraqi troops from their soil.
Help was not immediately forthcoming.
U.S. troops in the desert, however, have now
begun the mission of liberating Kuwait from
the hands of Saddam Hussein, a mission for
which they have been preparing during the
last five months.
Many people in the U.S., as well as Eugene, have been protesting President Bush's
policies in the Middle East and the outbreak
of war.
Admittedly, the U.S. is there to protect its
vital oil interests and the interests of its allies,
a policy worthy of some debate.
However, the conflict is about much more
than oil. The conflict also concerns the stability of the economy, trade, and political interests of the U.S.and theothercountriesaround
the world.

Women

The conflict is also in direct response to
one man's intent to seize and control a tiny,
oil-rich Persian Gulfcountry; to wreak havoc,

lowers." Another adage currently heard around the world
that now makes more sense
than ever is,"When the people
lead, the leaders will follow."
Let's start the peaceful solution by taking a stand to stop
the madness before it escalates
toourprematureend. Because
the truth of the matter is that
violence does breed future
violence.

destruction and horror upon Kuwaiti citizens.
Hussein'sseizureofKuwaitwas blatantly
unjustifiable, illegal and inappropriate. This
move was made with the sole intent of commandeering land, money, oil, and portraying himself as the leader of Pan-Arabism.
U.S. in vol vemen tin the Middle East is necessary and, as they have already begun to do,
allied troops should move to expel Iraqi
troops from Kuwait at a swift and forceful
rate.
I wouldn't be surprised if the multi-national force quickly takes control of Kuwait
and restores peace to the lives of Kuwaiti
citizens and their government. This is a
mission that must be accomplished to restore
peace in the desert. I have faith the U.S. and
allied troops will do just that.
If this can be accomplished with little loss
of life to civilians on either side of the conflict
and if allied casualties can be kept to a minimum, so much the better. To borrow a phrase
from George Bush, I hope the war ends and
American military personnel come home
sooner, rather than later.'~

No one wins in war. Everyone loses. The people of Iraq
are in effect no different than
the people of the U.S. Iraqi and
U.S. citizens equally desire
peace and prosperity. To kill
one another for any reason is
senseless. The real enemies are
those in power who choose the
deaths of our youth through
violence when peaceful solutions have yet to be fully explored.
It's no small wonder Adolf
Hitler said, "It's so very fortunate for those in power that
people do not think." Let us
remember Sen. Mark Hatfield's
point during debate last week.
Hatfield, to the surprise of
many of his colleagues, said
the U.S.' s major purpose in the
Middle East is oil.
It is well past the time for
people to wake up and start
thinking on their own and stop
being led like sheep to senseless slaughter.

'Life Skills' gJaduate finds motivatio n fo.r change
by Megan Guske
Torch Staff Writer

Ph~o by Paul Stapleton

Sandra Hall focuses on her studies in retail sales.

"My first goal was picking up a pencil," says
Sandra Hall, and she did. "My second goal was
to find the motivation to getup every morning,
get the kids off and go to class."
Sandra Hall has achieved all of those goals,
and many more. She was one of the first students to complete a new course called Life
Skills, oftered at LCC satellite sites in Cottage
Grove and Florence as part of a state-wide
welfare reform program.
Life Skills provides training and support for
welfare recipients required to earn either a GED
or high school diploma. "It's important that
(welfare recipients) do the Life Skills class first,
because you need to know that you are supported," says Hall. "Ten years ago I started on
my GED, but the program was such that I really
felt like I knew nothing."
Hall and her classmates have gotten very
close. "We didn't want to break up our first
group," saysHall. "Weweresotightbytheend
of that first week in Life Skills that nobody
wanted to go separate ways. We wanted to
support each other through the rest of it."
The class, she says, teaches just what it says
it will, "Life Skills." Students learn how to create and tighten up resumes, and how to present
themselves to prospective employers. The class
provides help in preparing for the GED test. It
also gives students the confidence they need by
offering classes in improving self esteem, and
developing positive attitudes and identifying
negative attitudes.
Hall believes the class helps families because
the achievements of the parents will set good

examples for the children.
In fact, Hall has also found another source of
support in hernine-year-old daughter. "She sits
down with me and we study together," says
Hall. "You'd think it would take away from the
time with your kids. But, in reality, it gives them
something that they can relate to.
'Without me doing this she may have thought
'Ohl'llquitschool,momdid'," explainsHall "It
(school) wouldn't have been as important to
her." Hall says that her daughter is ·an A student.
Moving to new goals, Halls is currently enrolled in a retail class, "and tentatively I'm
signed up for a business class," expressing a
definite interest in business and management.
She says skills alone may not al ways land her
a job. First, she must learn to overcome prejudice from employers, who she says think welfare mothers are always going to be running
home to their kids and not stick to their duties.
She must also be aware of her professional
appearance. Hall's smile gives a warm and
comfortable glow, but she's missing a tooth.
"Employers want you to smile and look
friendly," she says, "but sometimes you feel self
conscious when your missing a tooth. Maybe
they will think it looks bad."
Hall says she would repair the tooth, except
for the fact that more and more dentists are
refusing to accept patients with welfare cards.
Hall believes that the Life Skills class was an
invaluable step in giving her the motivation to
make these changes. Speaking about herself
and other women in her situation she says, ''We
are capable. We want to raise our kids and
support ourselves. Just give us a chance."

The Torch

A Free Workshop To Explore Career Opportunities
to register call 747-4501 ext. 2353

by Gaye Norton Leek
Torch Staff Writer

Growing up black in Eugene was
"interesting," says Maya Thomas. She
lived, in her words, straddling a fence
in her younger years. "I would walk
around seeing people who didn't look
like me, yeti was constantly reminded
and confronted with my own blackness."
She went home every day to her
mother, brother and sister who are
Caucasian.
Now 19, she says maturity and
education have helped her accept her
heritage with pride. She credits her
mother and friends with exposing her
to African heritage, history, and culture. "I am proud of my black heritage
and wouldn't trade it," smiles Thomas.
Life is humming for the ASLCC
Vice President, as she prepares to
perform at the ASLCC-sponsored
Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration
Monday,Jan.21,attheHultCenterfor
the Performing Arts.
Despite the current political turmoil, or perhaps because of it, it's a
time for Thomas to celebrate her black
heritage and the civil rights of all
people of all colors, including white~ .
everywhere.
Busily rehearsing the song she
learned as a child, "Brown Baby", and
the dance she will perform to an M.C.
Hammer song Monday evening,
Thomas radiates enthusiasm, support,
and energy for her passionate beliefs.
Helping others find self-worth·
through declaring personal values is
important to Thomas. The ideas of

Omen IS
"Financial Aid," "How to get
Started," "Career Planning,"
and "High Wage Jobs." A free
lunch and child care are
provided.
Bradley listed three goals for
the workshop. "We're trying
to help women decide which
career direction they want to
take by informing them about
vocational programs; we want
to inform women-who aren't

Martin Luther KingJr. had a powerful
effect on her when she was growing
-up, and was instrumental in defining
her beliefs.
"I would encourage people toquestion authority, question history books,
and question attitudes," Thomas declares when asked what message King
left her with as a child. "For a lot of
people, King is the only black role
model who's been endorsed and accepted, yet there are so many other
black men and women who have
contributed to everyone's world."
For centuries the black race has
deeply enriched the American culture,
says Thomas, reminding us of the
many inventions, innovations and
additions blacks contributed over the
years. Ancient African culture has
sifted down through the generations,
influencing modern America and the
world through dance, music, and
theater.
Performing has always been an
integral part of life for Thomas. "Performing has been linked in my soul
since I was a baby. I justcan'tescapeit.
It's my total expression."
Thomas thrives when using her
talents to educate people, inspiring
her audience to evaluate and consider
their own commitments and beliefs.
"My talents are a gift," she says, when
describing her love for performing.
"And performance is the gift that I
give in return."
Thomas says she has a deep concern for education and focuses on the
need to teach children of all cultures.
"I have a dream ... that all little
children everywhere in every school

will be taught about their true valuable uniqueness, and not that they are
all the same," shares Thomas.
Thomas encourages everyone to
join in the celebration of the legacy of

Martin Luther King Jr., Monday evening and every other day as well.
Free tickets to the MLK Celebration
are still available at the LCC Theatre
Box Office.

have to offer at LCC," says
Bradley. And we want to give
women "anopportunitytovisit
non-traditional vocational
programs."
Abcmt200 women attended
last year's program. i3radley
expects about 250 to take part
this year. "We are getting 25 to
30 registrations per day."·
In response to evaluations

of last year's workshop, this
year the program has been
expanded and adapted.
The half-day program is
now seven hours long, to
accommodate participants
requests for longer sessions and
more time for questions to be
answered. Information on
college transfers, human °
services, and job forecasting
have also been added to the

program.
"This isan amazing project,"
says Bradley. "It's almost a
complete college effort."
Workshopcoordinatorsare
being assisted by 22 different
vocational departments on
campus: the Counseling
Department, the Financial Aid
Department, Disabled Student
Services, and the Multi-

Cultural Center.
Any woman interested in
the workshop who has not preregistered may do so the day of
the program. However,anyone
in need of a sign language
interpreter or child care will
need to register by Jan. 21.

_teach-in was to possibly reduce
students' anxiety . . . and
perhaps give them a little
education about what's going
on, since it vitally affects the
students here," said Kremers.
The event according to
Kremers, was a big success
considering the room was full
and there wasn't ever a loss for
speakers. He says the tone was
never spiteful, but instead a
gentle and factual time for
healing and support.
Mostly students spoke of
their hope for peace. ASLCC
President Michael Omogrosso
reflected on his own children
and his love for them,
commenting, "Iraq is our
children - we need to train

them in the ways of peace."
Student Mike Koffer said, "I
don't think war is portrayed as
it really is. If everyone were to
see it, they would be crawling
to stop it."
"Its got to stop somewhere,"
a retired marine from Vietnam,
who identified himself as
Dennis,said, "I'maboutready
to take a stand, and I hope
everyone else will, too."
During both sit-ins, students
expressed their anger, some
their fear, and others their
thoughts. The audience
listened to each speaker, and
whether everyone's eyes
misted in sadness or not, they
all made a difference.

Student aims . :to•;. instHI 'cultural diversity'
by John Unger
Torch Staff Writer

Off West 11th street in Eugene, just
hefore Bertelsen is a road that runs
along Amazon Creek, called Sam R
street, named after Lafay Floyd's
grandfather. He was a son of slaves
who moved to Oregon from Little Rock,
Ark., in the '40s. Back then, Eugene
had a curfew law for black people.
"To be black here was like hell,"
Floyd says, referring to her own
childhood. She says that the few black
people who lived in Eugene then were
segregated from whites yet also
separated from each other. She was the
third black person to go to
Westmoreland Grade School, where
she found little acceptance or support.
"It was not okay for me to be black
until I started running track," she says.
After the nonviolent protests and
dreams of the '60s, Floyd says that
the Black Panthers came to the West
Coast in 1971. "They taught us a
different way, a rebellious way," she
says. "It was no longer 'yes ma'am' it
was 'right on.' They said that when we
were 14, we had to learn to use guns. It
scared me."
Having learned about Martin Luther
King Jr. as a child in the '60s, Floyd
believes in working within the system
to make changes. She now lives in
Springfield and serves on that city's
Human Rights Commission. She also
helped to organize the Martin Luther
King Celebration to be held in
Springfield's Memorial Building on
January 20.
Floyd now attends LCC in the
pursuit of an associate of arts transfer
degree. She plans eventually to apply
for admission to Howard University, a
school with a black majority. She hopes
to learn more of black culture there
while she pursues a political science

Floyd wishes that African-American
history and other courses dealing with
this culture were taught at LCC.
Currently, the school teaches only one
black literature course only once a year.
Previously, a black studies program
was included in LCC' s curriculum.
"As a nation, we need training in
cultural diversity," she says. "We need
not to shun people for what their
uniqueness is, but to accept them, to
learn from them, and maybe we can
become more enriched."
"LCC is unique in its sensitivity
toward culture, with women's
awareness, the Torch bringing out
pointsofview,andself-helpgroupsyou realize that your problems are not
just racial. But we should have a day
off for Martin Luther King," she adds,
as she co-signs a letter addressed to
LCC President Jerry Moskus,
requesting this change.
The letter was written by ASLCC
Vice President Maya Thomas, who has
known Floyd since Thomas herself was
a little girl. Floyd and Thomas are
working together to coordinate LCC' s
observance of the National Black
History Month in February. Moskus
had been considering such a holiday,
and the letter was intended to
encourage his favor of an affirmative
decision.
While struggling for an education
that takes her heritage into account,
Floyd desires to make a difference "not
just for black people, but for all people,
and especially for children. If you
poison a child (with racism) you poison
the next generation," she says.
As Dr. King said in his "I Have a
Dream" speech, "No, no, we are not
satisfied and we will not be satisfied
until justice rolls down like waters and
righteousness like a mighty stream."

Jewelry design otters career, hobby opportunities
by Gaye Norton Leek
Torch Staff writer

I

The influence of imported ethnic
jewelry has made Jewelry-Metalsmithing a popular class open to students who are considering jewelry
design as a career, a stepping stone, or
simply a hobby.
"I don't expect everyone who takes
this class to make it their career," says
instructor Dan White, who has been
teachingJewelry-Metalsmithing at LCC
for 18 years.
"I want students to become familiar
with hand tools and their uses," declares White, referring to the pliers,
drills, and soldering equipment on the
tables around him.

"Even if a student never makes
another piece of jewelry, I hope they
.have acquired design judgement, can
recognize well-craftfd jewelry, and
have a chance to experience working
with their hands."
Brooke Stone, studio aide to White,
says the student considering jewelrymakingasa career usually goes through
the LCC two-year Art and Applied Design Program and then goes on to a
four-year university to earn a four year
degree.
Job possibilities include teaching
jewelry design and metalsmithing,
going on to work in sales, or doing
jewelry repair in shops, says Stone.
"With the influx of cheap jewelry on
the market, it makes it very difficult for

modem American jewelers to compete," Stone acknowledges.
Two basic approaches to jewelry
making are taught in the Art Department, Stone explains.
"We start with sheet metal or wire
and make it into forms called fabrication for the beginning students. Later
we teach lost-wax casting where the
student starts with wax or clay and
goes through a series of molding processes and casts those pieces into metal."
Beginning Jewelry Metalsmithing
student Terri Morley is taking several
art classes. "I enjoy working with the
machines and equipment and familiarizing myself with metal as an art form,"
explains Morley, polishing a silver
"concho," a decorative silver piece

made from a flattened and formed
nickel.
Morley explained the several steps
in fashioning conchos which students
use to decorate vests, shirts, hairclips
and belts.
• Annealing-heating up of metal to
make it soft and maleable.
• Chasing--imprinting or stamping
a decorative design.
• Dapping -- making round shapes
out of flattened pieces.
• Soldering -- using torch and soldering silver.
The concho is then buffed and polished for a finished product.
The course is offered fall, winter,
and spring terms for any interested
students.

Stonelake and Carter star in Titan victory
by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

The LCC women's basketball team
sandwiched two impressive victories
around a close loss in games during
Jan. 11-16.
• Kelli Stonelake scored 33 points
and Katy Carter added 28 as the Titans
scored an impressive 126-34 homecourt
win over Portland CC.
Carter's performance was nearly
perfect. She hit on 13 of 13 shots from
the field, hit both of her free throws and
pulled down 17 rebounds.
Stonelake, in recently released
NWAACC statistics, is the second leading scorer in the conference. She also
leads the NWAACC in 3-point field
goal percentage (54 %) and has made
nearly 80% of her free-throw attempts
to rank fifth in the conference.
Cathy Reisbeck played another fine
game, scoring 18 points for the Titans.
Reisbeck has averaged over 13 points a
game sincerecei ving more playing time
due to the absence of injured starter
Carrie Redifer.
"We did a good job of keeping in th'"
game (mentally) and didn't sit back
when we had the lead," said Titan
Coach Dave Loos.
Redifer, the Titans second leading
scorer on the season, may be returning
to action soon after a back injury suffered in LCC's Jan 9. loss to Umpqua

cc.

"She's had some kind of problem

with a disc in her back," explained
Coach Loos. "She feels okay when she
runs and shoots, but when she bends
over it really hurts her. She's had a few
days to rest and should be able to practice soon."
The Titans, who out-rebounded
Portland CC 64-23, are now 8-9.
• OnJan.11, theTitansoverwhelmed
a team of Australian all-stars, 111-53 at
LCC.
The Titans, who jumped out to a 5225 lead in the first half, poured it on
against the Aussies in the second half.
Marty Hartley scored 27 points to lead
the Titans who had five players in
double figures. Stonelake added 24, Bignotti 20, Luci Cornutt 17 and Becky Bell
12.
• InagameJan 12 ., theTitanslostto
NW AACC Southern Division leaders,
Clackamas CC, 71-62.
Playing their fourth game in three
days, the Titans seemed sluggish and
were unable to stop Clackamas' Lonnie
Mack, who scored 25 points and snared
15 rebounds.
"We were tired, but we can't use
fatigue as an excuse," said Titan Assistant Coach Ron Richards. ''We just
didn't hit the shots we needed to and
they did."
Kelly Stonelake had 23 points and
Nicole Bignotti added 13 to lead the Titans.
The Titans, 8-9 overall and 2-3 in the
NWAACC, playtheirnextgameat Lane

U.S. Ambassador Thomas
Pickering, in a private meeting
with the United Nations Security Council, promised thatlraq
could avoid further allied attacks by beginning a complete
unconditional withdrawal
from Kuwait.
First reports indicated that
Iraqi resistance was limited,
U.S. defense officials said. In
early fighting, Iraqi artillery
struck a small oil refinery in
Saudi Arabia located about five
miles from the Kuwaiti border.
ABC News reported at
approximately 2:20 a.m. Iraqi
time (4:20 p.m. PST) three
confirmed SCUD missile hits in
Tel Aviv, Israel. Ina statement

that was eventually retracted,
ABC later reported that a second wave of SCUD missiles
containing chemical gas warheads hit various locations in
Israel, and civilians in that
region were required t~puton
gas masks and report to climate controlled rooms.
ABC corrected the statement
to say that the missiles did not
contain explosive warheads . .
There were seven Israeli casualties as a result of the missile
hits, ABC reported prior to
press time.
Israel responded by sending fighters toward Baghdad,
but they were called back after
U.S. authorities conferred with
Israeli officials, CBS Radio

reported. President Bush
promised Israel that U.S. forces
would retaliate with a show of
force in response to the bombing.
By pres~ time, the Pentagon
had reported five downed allied aircraft, two U.S. aircraft
and two British, and one
Kuwaiti, according to CBS.
CBS also reported unconfirmed Iraqi missile attacks on
Saudi Arabian soil.
NBC News reported that
close to 30 U.S. warplanes were
preparing to take off from a
Saudi Arabian air base, immediately prior to press time. The
intended destination was not
known.

Said LCC student Jamie
Marks, "I'm here to just let
everyone know that I'm saying 'no.' "
"I'm here because I don't
believe in war," said Cynthia
Hirschhorn, a former LCC
student, "yet our leaders act
like two dogs when they meet."
"I really opposed what
we're doing (in the Persian
Gulf), what we have already
done," said Matt Wier, also an
LCC student. "I'm really surprised to see those people,"
Wier added referring to a small
group of demonstrators on Seven th Street in front of the Federal Building, voicing their
support for the military action

underway in Iraq and Kuwait.
Ken Baykin, who was
among those in support of the
military action, said he has a
wife and two kids, but would
join in the military action at a
moments notice, if given a
chance.
"The reason we fight these
wars," said a man identified
only as Bruce, "is so America
can stay free."
Countered BobParker,aformer LCC student and Torch
columnist, "The last time we
had a war (Vietnam), we sat
around and blindly supported
our president, and a lot of
people died."
