King commemorated in celebrations
Daughter of Malcom X
speaks at university

Williams laments,
calls King's dream
'a nightmare'

Speaking on the celebrated anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s
birthday, Rev. Dr. Hosea Williams
said the slain civil rights leader's
dream has all but been turned into a
nightmare.
The keynote address marked the
fourth annual ASLCC-sponsored
Martin Luther King (MLK) Celebration, held in the Silva Hall of the
Hult Center for the Performing Arts.
Williams, a well-known civil
rights activist, related anecdotes
from his own life and work in the
civil rights movement, as well as his
experiences working close to King.
He drew a mental image of King's
era as more than a bigoted, discriminating society, instead depicting an
era of violence, hatred, greed, and
injustice.
With a speaking style reminiscent of a Southern Baptist preacher,
Williams told of King's dedication
to non-violence, his courage, and
his determination to make people
see the civil rights movement not as
a racial battle, but an economic one.
Comparing him to a modern-day
Jesus Christ, Williams said "King
conquered the fear of death, the love
of wealth,and theloveofhumanity.
If we had listened to Martin Luther
King, there wouldn't be children
killing children in the Persian Gulf,
there wouldn't be 20 million hungry and homeless people in this
country."
_
"Dr. King could articulate love,"
he told the enthusiastic crowd. "He
didn't just talk about it, he lived it."
Williams spoke of King's love of

Atallah Shabazz, in Eugene Monday to help
celebrate a day-long observance of Martin Luther
King Jr's birthday, quickly charmed the overflow
crowd at the EMU Ballroom on the University of
Oregon Campus.
Shabazz, eldest daughter of Malcom X, the black
militant leader who articulated race pride and
black nationalism in the '60s, called for lots of
smiles and reminded everyone that Martin Luther
King and her father had lived and died so that all
present could not only enjoy the birthday party,
but could also choose how many candles on the
cake and what flavor.
"We don't need legislation to feel good," she
said. "We have the freedom, the issue now is you .
Don't let the carpet be slipped from under your
feet."
Praising her father as a gentle man, she told of
a childhood that allowed her at an early age to
understand herself and her place in society. Asking all who loved and liked themselves to raise
their hands, Shabazz declared that those who had
must also know themselves.
ShabazzandMartinLutherKing'seldestdaughter, Yolanda, recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of a one-act musical, "Stepping into Tomorrow," written by both women. The production, which performsextensivelyin nearly SO cities
annually, carries a message revealing that no
matter what obstacles life may present, everyone
has the power and potential to shape their own.
The enthusiastic crowd also showed approval
to Shabazz's comments about the Mideast crisis.
Declaring that "we are controlled", she reminded
members of the audience that they had the responsibility to read between the lines.
"I am confused" said Shabazz. "Why are we not
assisting South Chicago, and Lithuania? How do
we allow someone to draw blood for us?"
Shabazz hopes to motivate and inspire people
to develop a better understanding of their history,
the world around them and their constructive
place in i t - to encourage a positive self concept.
Shabazz ended her presentation with a reading
of "Life is Fine," by black poet Langston Hughes.

Editorial statements

Question of the week: Do you feel it is unpatriotic to
support a peaceful alternative to the crisis in the
Middle East and why?

By David Valdez
Torch Staff Writer

Editor's note: In the interest of balance, the Torch has allotted
space reserved for editorial statements to print the views of a student
who during this past week expressed concern and dismay over recent
Torch editorial statements.
Fresh from teaching at Fort Bragg, N.C., LCC student John
Lancaster has taken exception to recent Torch editorials concerning the Persian Gulf conflict.
Lancaster, a sergeant in the Army Reserve after an honorable
discharge from active duty in January of 1990, grew up in
Fayetteville, N.C., and just returned from teaching Russian at a
community college near Fort Bragg. In his active duty tour and
during his past posting as a Russian instructor, Lancaster has
had a great deal of experience with the troops of the 18th
Airborne Corps, among other Army units.
"The soldiers are not pawns on a chessboard (as they were
termed in theJan.18 Torch). They enlisted by choice, not by conscription as in Vietnam," says Lancaster. "I personally know
hundreds of soldiers and almost all of them believe that they are
doing the right thing by being there and know why they arc
there."
Lancaster goes on to relate that his mother and mother-inlaw are both from Europe and share a belief that Saddam
Hussein is another Hitler. He feels that if two women who personally experienced the horror of World War II support a
military solution in the Middle East, then there is validity to the
war.
Lancaster goes on to say, "You should interview soldiers and
military personnel to get their opinions to balance the reporting
(in the Torch)." Since Lancaster admits that the campus has a
relatively anti-war stance, he recognizes the need to echo the
opinions of Torch readers, but he also feels that the staff should
properly reflect the majority of the nation and support the
administration.
"The fact that (students in protest to the war) are in the
majoritydoesnotnecessarilymake them right, (and) the factthat
the anti-war minority is so vocal does not necessarily make them
enlightened either."
Although Lancaster recognizes the constitutional right to
assemble, he feels that the protestors at the Federal Building in
Eugene aren't accomplishing anything, that both sides need to
turn to positive methods of protesting. Among his suggestions
for positive protests are to contact your elected representative,
hang posters, and call people for support.
"Please don't form mobs to challenge people," pleads Lancaster. "Not that protesting is bad news, but it doesn't do anything
inaconstructivemanner.Itjustmakesalotofnoise,forexample,
the firebombing of the reserve center and of the IRS building."
Lancaster emphasizes a need for more constructive means of
voicing an opinion. He says that when mobs forrn, a "lunatic
fringe" develops, and the lunatic fringe often has its own agenda.
The most important point that Lancaster wants to emphasize
is the support of the troops. He feels that the public cannot send
a positive message to the troops by firebombing government
buildings.
"When protestors are protesting, and the reason they're saying they' re protesting is they don't like violence, it's good to bear
in mind the violence Saddam Hussein has been using not only
for the past six months, but the violence Hussein has used over
the years."

tude of silent witnesses to the corporate-political system
To the Editor,
.
The peace community and
George Bush have something
in common. We would both
rather see U.S. troops come
home "sooner, rather than
later."
Of course, George Bush insists that Kuwait must be liberated first. Whether 100 or
100,000 come home in "human
remains pouches" is where the
gulf between our perspectives
lies.
When we marched from
Alton Baker Park to the Federal Building on January 15,
"Bring 'em back alive, " was
one of the first chants we took
up.
Now that Fush has ordered
an attack, the chant will be
echoed silently by families and
friends over the coffins of dead
soldiers. These families will
wish for a miracle, but the
bodies lying in those flag-enshrouded boxes will not come
back to life.
When King George the Fifth
observed the battlefield cemeteries in Flanders in 1922, he
said "I have many times asked
myself whether there can be

desolation of war."
Personally, I wish that the
current ~ing George the Fifth
on this side of the Atlantic owns
an equally intelligent heart.

Face the truth
To the Editor,
"Better a cruel truth," says
Edward Abbey, "than a comfortable delusion." The truth
must be faced. The time for
denial, the greatest ally of any
addiction, is past.
Like addicts, forced by crisis to face reality, many Americans now recognize the institutionalized false values and
compulsive behaviors that
impoverish the gullible, enrich
the unscrupulous, and deaden
our humaneness: legal and illegal drugs to smother feelings,
sexual exploitation to compensate lack of love, endless consumption to fill the emptiness
within, faith in the use of force
to release anger and momentarily calm our fears.

spew disinformation sprinkled
lightly with facts through major media monopolies. Patriotism has been perverted.
Throughout history the papered ruling elite have been
perfectly willing to have the
well intentioned sons and
daughters of the less fortunate
do their dirty work. This time
is no different.
But great danger is also great
opportunity if we can face the
truth that Saddam and George
are blood brothers; that complex cultural, political, and
economic issues can never be
solved by force; that violence
can beget only more violence;
and that peace is the true patriotism. By reclaiming our citizenship and by beginning with
the smallest details of our daily
lives, we can create the compassion and love that will lead
to peace and healing. I wish us
all courage on the path and joy
1n the quest.

crisis of choice

The two faces of Janus: The Gulf
Forum by Michael Omogrosso
ASLCC President

On Monday Jan. 21, I received a
letter from U.S. Marine Reservist Sgt.
Andrew Harris - last year's ASLCC
president. He was writing from Norton
Air Force Base in California while
waiting for his flight to the Saudi sands,
courtesy of the United States Armed
Forces.
Andy sends his best to all of us at
LCC. He is in charge of a squad of 12
Marines, and says, "The most important thing to me (and all I really care
about) is that I and my squad make it
back safely."
I'm sure that thought rests heavily
on the minds of all the troops and on
the minds of this entire nation for that
matter. But the implementation of that
thought- how to get them home- is
what seems to divide us.
Like the Roman god Janus, we are a
nation facing two distinctly different
directions.
One side is polarized in the mode of,
"We must give full support to the leaders of our country and by that action the
boys (women, too, this time) will surely
win and be home soon."

At the other end of the spectrum
voices shout, 'Wearewrongtospill the
blood of our nation's finest for the
decadent rulers of Kuwait. Bring our
friends home alive, not in a box."
And like Janus who looked to the
horizon of the future while surveying
the receding skyline of the past, the
views of this nation concerning the Gulf
War contain everything between the
extremes.
Even the Christian Bible sets up
extreme perspectives on the subject:
From the prophetic book of Joel 3:
10-11, "Beat your plowshares into
swords and your pruning shears into
lances."
Yet from the book of Isaiah, 2:4, "And
He will certainly render judgement
among the nations and set matters
straight respecting many peoples. And
they will have to beat their swords into
plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword
against nation, neither will they learn
war any more."
The dichotomy of war is adequately
displayed by Joel commanding the
preparation for war, yet, Isaiah demanding disputes to be settled and the

ASL CC PRES/DENT

supporters and peace advocates, for
they are only doing their job and the
line separating them becomes increasingly hard todefine. Forinstance,signs
from both camps include support for
the human bodies engaged in the conflict, not the conflict per se.
My nine-year-old son wrote this
prose on his own in an apparent attempt to understand the war and rumors of war:
"Once upon a time there was a boy, and
where he lived there was a war going on and
he lived right in the middle of it. So some
times they would get bombed and it just
happened that his town got bombed. When
he was in school it happened. And he
rushed home to find that his house got
bombed."
Sgt. Andy Harris wrote on Jan. 7,
"For a while I was hoping that there
would be a diplomatic solution to this
crisis and we would be home soon. But
now I don't think that this will be the
case."
I asked my son if his story was done
and he said, "no." The action you and
I take today will determine what he
writes tomorrow.
Shalom.

...

~venue to peace' in dispute
On Thursday,Jan. 17, I was
working as an intern with
KMTR-TV and found myself
in the middle of a very violent
clash between anti-war protestors and Desert Storm supporters.
In front of the Eugene Federal Building people in support of physical force to remove Saddam Hussein were
enraged at the people in favor
of a peaceful solution. What I
observed was a gross misunderstanding between both
groups of demonstrators.
Peace demonstrators and
the Desert Storm supporters in
general are really in agreement.
The avenue to peace, however, is
the subject in dispute. Consider
some statements from involved
parties.
• LCC student Stan Brawley,
who is also a Navy Reservist
and has been called up for active duty: "Saddam Hussein
needs to be stopped. I support
the president. I do not relish
the thought of going (to Saudi
Arabia), but in 1986 I signed a
piece of paper saying I would
go if need be, and now I'm
being called, so I am going."
He too seeks peace. It's just
that the method he sees as
necessary to achieve peace
differs from anti-war demonstrators.
• Says City Councilman
Sean Boles about the city of
Eugene's position on the Gulf
War. "On Jan. 14 the City
Council passed a resolution by
a vote of seven against and two
votes for the use of force in
pushing Saddam Hussein from
Kuwait."
When asked about the ongoing protest at the Federal
Building he said, "Everybody
has a right to demonstrate

peacefully." Boles felt the protesters backing the Desert
Storm operation, "need some
training in peaceful demonstration."
He also commended the
police for maintaining order in
such a stressful situation. Pull-

from
the
heart

jim jarboe
ing double shifts are testament
to the police officers' sincere
efforts to uphold our rights to
free speech. The message the
police are stressing to the demonstrator is, "Be safe!"
• Says City of Eugene Public Safety Officer Tim Burr: "To
not let people demonstrate
would defeat the purpose of
our country's constitutional
rightto peacefully assemble. It
would be ironic to not let
people voice their opinion in
the area in front of the Federal
Building known as Free Speech
Square."
• Says LCCstudentMichael
Gardner, who is enrolled here
as part of the Displaced Workers Program: "I don't like the
idea of war any more than the
next fellow. I've never been one
to back down from opposition.
Saddam Hussein is thumbing
his nose at the U.N. and all it
stands for. He has had ample
time to withdraw his troops. It
would destroy the U.N. and
the United States' credibility
to turn tail and run from
Hussein." Would he fight, he
replied without hesitation, "I
would go if called too, in a
heartbeat."

Some of the Bush supporters feel those opposed to war
are unpatriotic and not in support of the troops. I see the
anti-war protesters to be very
much in support of our country- just not in support of the
administration's foreign policy.
It is disappointing to see the
hostilities between the two
groups of demonstrators.
They are both in support of
the Constitution, both patriotic,
and both in support of our
troops. This conflict hopefully
will be defused with an event
tentatively scheduled for the
weekend of Feb. 2 and 3. The
event is a march by both groups
in support of the troops.
• Says Oregon Peaceworks
Coordinator Thom Alberti:
"When communication between the two opposing demonstrators occurred, understanding was reached and
friendships sparked."
Hopefully, through communication this conflict, as well as
the Gulf Conflict, will be
worked out peacefully.

War c0Vef8f}e tilbowS out other domestic, foreign pr(Jblems··•·
After one week of war in the Middle
East, the conflict's events have taken
over the front pagcsofU.S newspapers
and the m ajo ri ty o f loca l news
telecasts.
In the meantime, a lot of domestic
and local issues are not getting any
attention.
Before the war, Americans were
concerned with the expected U.S.
recession (and/ or "economic
downturn"). Banks were failing. Both
big and small businesses were
suffering. And citizens were spending
less.
Now, I guess everything is just
dandy.
So what if Eastern Airlines went
belly-up, sending tens of thousands
of employees scurrying to collect
unemployment, causing creditors
(mostly banks) to wonder how much
they're going to make on the dollar
for their investment, and local
communities that depended on the
airline scrambling to find new sources
of revenue to offset inevitable budget
shortfalls.
More was said on one local

newscast about a cat who travelled in
the landing gea r compartment of a jei:
from Hous ton to New York Ci ty than
was men ti oned ab out Eas tcr n's
demise.
The last big news I heard about oil
was the Iraqi torching of an oil well
and the ecological damage which
could occur if Hussein decides to blow
up all of the wells in Kuwait.
Never let it be said that retail gas
prices are once again rising (although
wholesale prices have dropped) and
the stockmarket is beginning to look
like the polygraph readings of Joe
Isuzu.
Much has also been said in the
media about the cost of the weapons
being used against Iraq. Each "Smart
Bomb" costs about $40,000. Figuring
that alliance pilots have flown 12,000
sorties over that country, and
estimating they've dropped two
bombs on each mission, it is safe to
calculate the U.S. government has
spent around $960 million on "Smart"
bombs alone.
What hasn't been said is how much
this adds up to in a dollars-and-cents

perspective the average citizen can
understand.
This $960 million (which does not
include the cost of other weapon
systems) could pay for the $630 million
that Oregon's schools are expected to
lose as a result of Measure 5. Enough
dollars would be left over to put the
state financially in the black.

And this is just one weapon.
Israel, tragically, has been in the
news because of recent Scud missle
attacks on Haifa and Tel Aviv.
However, Palestinians living in Israel
have almost ceased to exist in the news.
Yes, Virginia, there are Palestinians
living in Israel. There are Palestinians
living all over the Middle East. There
are Palestinians living in Europe.
There are Palestinians living in the
United States. Theyarethenomad sof
the world, searching for a homeland,
just like the Jews were before the

forming of Israel as a nation.
Armenians live all over the world,
but there is a semi-autonomous
Armenian republic within the U.S.S.R.
Although most Vietnamese have left
their homeland for greener pastures
in other countries, there is still a nation
they can talk about as their former
home.
The Palestinians are homeless.
And this is why Israel has been
attacked. It is why Saddam Hussein
has been able to attempt tying the
Palestinian question to the invasion
of Kuwait. It's the reason Israelis have,
up to now, been able to live in
relatively quiet residential areas and
apartment buildings while Palestinian
neighborhoods are in turmoil or
classified as refugee camps.
The reporting of these Palestinians
ended when Operation Desert Storm
began. The economy is still in a
recession. People are still being laid
off. Gasoline prices continue to rise.
Oregon legislators still have to deal
with the effects of Measure 5. The
world goes on.

Canc·er victim uses experience to help others

His white beard curls up
around his face as he flashes a

Cunningham. He survived,
beating all the odds against
him.
It began in June of 1988,
when Cunningham was referred by his internist to see an
oncologist. During his visit, the
doctor merely confirmed his
suspicion. "I think my doctor

was trying to put me at ease
when he said 'It's not a small
cancer but it's not as big as a
bread box,' " says Cunningham . "It had involved the entire organ, but had not metastasized (spread to other par ts
of the body)."
However, as he explained,
prostate cancer is one form
that responds well to treatment. "If a person is going to
have cancer," says Cunningham, "prostate is the kind to
have. There is a 60 to 70 percent
chance of recovery."
However, because of the radiation treatments he received,
the defeat of his cancer did not
leave Cunningham unscathed.
The'zaps' ofradiationinflicted
on his body have created problems in his digestive system,
which continue to plague him
to this day.
But Cunningham knows
well that life does go on. Today, he is attending LCC, and

Forensics Team experiences suc·ceSs
by Chris Barron
Torch Staff Writer

Barbara Breaden has an interesting dilemma not faced by
most instructors.
Instead of demanding quiet from her students, she encourages them to speak out and express themselves. In fact, that's the
basis for her class.
Breaden teaches the LCC Projects and Public Speaking class
(also known as Forensics), and coaches the LCC Forensics Team
that is earning a reputation as one of the top community college
teams in the Northwest.
Although most students come with prior speaking experience, there is no prerequisite to sign up for the class, just an
interest in public speaking, Breaden says.
"We cali this class a co-curricular activity rather than an extracurricular activity," she points out. "In other words, it's both
class and extra-curricular.
"One of the things that's really stimulating is that you do get
to develop your speaking skills in what you most want to do.
You really get to choose your own niche."
Fall term saw a great deal of success by the team, including
sweepstakes honors at the Linfield Tournament at Linfield
College. LCC' s entry outranked all other community colleges
entered, as well as surpassing several four-year colleges and universities.
Team member Dan Oark captured seven individual trophies
during the fall campaign, while Joshua Hendrickson garnered
four. Additionally, Kevin Mergel earned two trophies, both first
place honors.
With the momentum of Fall term behind them, the team
recently attended its first tournament of winter term at Lower
Columbia College in Longview, Washington and came back
with all participants making it to the finals.
I
"It was just a really good tournament for us," Breaden said.
"All of our students breaking into finals is a wonderful accomplishment."
There are three divisions in Forensics: novice, junior and
senior. Although Clark, a senior division orator, did not compete, Breaden was pleased with the novice speakers' results.
Brian Behan was a finalist in editorial commentary, and
placed fourth in extemporaneous speaking. Tisha Oehrnan placed
second in editorial commentary, and Andrea Pasutti, a new
competitor this term, finished in first place in prose interpretation.
Clark, who is also assistant coach of the team, has already
qualified for nationals in Tacoma, Wash. in April with his prose
interpretation of "The Little Prince," and needs just one more
top-three finish to qualify for dramatic interpretation.
"He's just a real committed participant," Breaden says. "He's
my right-hand man. He helps with the coaching and other odds
and ends for the team."
A big part of the class is helping students overcome the fear of
public speaking. Breaden says she works hard in helping her
students battle that fear.
"Studies show that public speaking is the number one fear
among Americans-even higher than death," she notes. "There
is a certain amount of nervousness, but usually people who sign
up for this class realize that they're there to get over any kind of
apprehension or anxiety."
The team will next compete at Willamette University on Feb.
1-3. After the novice speakers gain more experience, Breaden is
hoping that they will have a chance to qualify for nationals at the
end of February at the University of Oregon. Although only
senior division speakers qualify in regular season tournaments,
the U of 0 tournament is a chance for all other speakers to earn
a trip to Tacoma.

Senate discusses MLK, CCOSAC
by John Unger
Torch Staff Writer

The Jan. 23 ASLCC Senate
meeting reverberated with
impressions of both the Martin
Luther King Celebration on
Jan. 21, and the CC0SAC conference on Jan. 18 an 19 at Mt.
Hood Community College.
ASLCC President Michael
Omogrosso said that it was
"one heck of a CC0SAC meeting. It was a good experience
meeting other students and
hearing some of the problems
they encounter. It's funny how
often they're quite similar."
0mogrosso announced that
up to two Senators are invited
to join him for the Board of
Presidents CC0SAC meeting
on Feb. 8 and . 9 at Umpqua
Community College in Roseburg. The board intends to
devise a "strategy for getting
students out for a legislative
action day in early April,"
designed to organize community college students from
acrossthestatetomakeastate ment,accordingtoOmogrosso.
Healsosaid thattheCollege

Council is working to reorganize the academic calendar in
order to close LCC on the
Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Regarding the MLK Celebration at the Hult Center,
ASLCC Cultural Director Trish
Rosewood said she was "relieved that it's over, but it was
really fun-we really enjoyed
it."
According to 0mogrosso, it
was "interesting enough that
Dr. Hosea Williams didn't like
the word celebration. That's
something we srould address."
ASLCC Vice President
Maya Thomas wds noticeably
absent from the Senate meeting. "It's pretty neat to know
Mayarightnow because sometime we'll probably be seeing
her on M1V or something,"
Senator Seth Craig said.
Thomas delighted the
crowd with two performances
at the Hult Center event, and
she received particularly warm
appreciation from Dr. Williams. "Congratulations on her

great performance," Craig
added.
In her written report to the
Senate, Thomas said that she
had talked to Jay Jones, who
agreed with the Senate's decision to appoint her to be Vice
President for the rest of the
school year in the ab~nce of
Sione Araujo. She wrote that a
possible honorary position to
be developed could involve the
Senate approving to pay
Araujo's tuition if she does
return this year. Thomas also
thanked student government
for support with the MLK
events.

Tllrnovers trouble Titans in defeat to LBCC
by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

The LCC men's basketball team blew
a 12-point lead in the second half and
Northwest
another
dropped
Conference Athletic Association
(NWAACC) game 86-71, in Albany on
Jan. 23.
The loss to Linn-Benton CC (LBCC)
featured an old Titan nemesis; the latein-the-game turnover.
"The last couple of minutes (in a
game) have been a problem all year,"
said LCCcoach Dale Bates. "We've got
some guys who just don't seem to be
able to go out and get it (defensive
intensity) late in the game."
LCC, which led at the end of the first
half 32-28, went on a 12-4 run early in
the second and were up 44-32 at one
point. Then the Titan turnover curse
reappeared.
LBCC took advantage of 13 LCC
turnovers in the half and after tying the
score at 58 with 8:58 remaining in the
game, the home team went on a 31-16
scoring binge to seal the victory.
"For30 minutes we've played some
of the best ball we've played all year,"
said Coach Bates. "But during one
stretch of five possessions (in the second
half), we had three turnovers, missed
an easy power-up and took a bad threepoint shot. They got eight points and
we got none."
Lamenting his team's problems late
in the game, Coach Bates added, "It's
time out for a gut check (for the Ti tans).

If we don't toughen up and play to our
ability, we could very well lose the next
eight ballgames."
Bates, who is in his last season of
coaching at LCC, has had troubled times
with his team this year.
The Titans played a numberof games
early in the season with only eight
eligible players. At least five of the
original 13-member team were ruled to
be academically unqualified to compete
in NW AA CC sanctioned play. To date,
only two have been able to return to
competition.
The 8-9 Titans, who have now lost
six of their seven NW AACC conference
games, were led by Jay Willis' 24 points
and 15 by Sam Thompson.
In a Dec. 19 NWAACC conference
game on Dec .. 19, Travis Wade hit a
jumper with three seconds on the clock
to give Mt. Hood CC a 98-97 victory
over the Titans.
The Titans, who trailed by as much
as 19 points in the second half, took a
96-95 lead on two free throws by Phil
Smith with 14 seconds left in the game
before Wade made his basket.
"We had a one point lead and
couldn't keep them from scoring," said
an exasperated Coach Bates.
Wade finished with a team-high 22
points for Mt. Hood, which had four
players in double figures.
Willis led all scorers with 24 points
topacetheTitansand teammate Damon
Neufeld added 23 in a losing cause.
The Titans play their next game at
home against undefeated Chemeketa
CC on Jan. 26.

The Ti tans lost another close
one.
Despite Kelli Stonelake' s 28
points and Katy Carter's 20,
the LCC women's basketball
team dropped to 8-11 after an
84-78 loss to Linn-Benton CC
(LBCC) in Albany on Jan. 23.
Six of the Titan's 11 defeats
have been by six points or less.
"We've had the lead in all of
those games," said Coach Dave
Loos. "We just haven't played
as well in the second half."
Tina Johnson was a one
person wrecking crew for
LBCC. The six-foot freshman
scored 28 points and snatched
22 off the boards as her team
outrebounded LCC 50-34.

'Edward ·Scissorhands'
reviewed as a must· see
Ed ward Scissorhands is about a man
with scissors for ·hands, created by a
scientist. Before the scientist can replace Ed ward's scissors with hands,
the scientist dies. After being discovered by an Avon representative, Edward tries to conform to suburban life
and discovers that suburbia cannot deal
with his uniqueness.
Reflections
Joshua Hendrickson: Burton is successor to Spielberg in fantasy cinema.
His approach to visuals emphasizes
the element of magic that Spielberg
popularized, but in a wholly different
and bizarre manner.
David Valdez: Let me get the negative out of the way first. I felt that
Burton copped out with the ending
structure. The rest of the film was brilliant. I especially enjoyed the way the
workshop's ominous and dark atmosphere was juxtaposed with the cartoon
faces in t~e machinery.
Hendrickson: The cast was flawless. Johnny Depp proved his talent by
portraying a character with great depth,
but little surface expression. A surprise
was Alan Arkin, playing the father of
the family that takes Edward into their
home. His cool-headed obliviousness
to everything around him was superbly
communicated.
Valdez: Depp was the real surprise
to me. I never took his talent seriously
untillsawthismovie. Everyonewould
like a father with as much character
and compassion as Arkin portrayed.
My one disappointment in the cast was
how two-dimensional Winona Ryder's
character was written. She's an excellent actress and should be giveri equally
excellent parts.
Hendrickson: "Edward Scis-·
sorhands" makes Burton's earlier
"Beetlejuice" seem normal. However,
one wishes that he had explored the
thematic possibilities of his story more
thoroughly. He is making a statement
about individuality in the face of conformity, and while the point is not lost,
it is also not presented in as intriguing
a manner as possible.
Valdez: I felt that Burton's "theatre
of the absurd" technique is enough ~o

convey his point. This is after all a faerie
tale. The characterization of conformity
being so ridiculous is enough to make
Burton's point.
Hendrickson: In every way bu tone,
the production design of this film is astonishing. That one disapointment the scars on Ed ward's face are so phony
that it looks as though a light rain would
wash them off.
Valdez: Yes, particularly in light of
Ryder's incredible makeup at the beginning and end of the film. You have
to wonder why they did such a poor job
on the main character's makeup.
Hendrickson: The suburban setting
is rendered withanappropriatepastelhued hideousness, like 1960 time
warped jnto the present. Edward's
home is as dark and gloomy as· any
mad scientist's castle, but what goes on
inside is charming.

Valdez: The castle setting is a brilliant metaphor for the creative. Creativity always seems forbidding until
the inside is revealed. The strength of
the portrayal of suburbia is wonderful.
The time warp effect intensifies the
faerie tale style without diluting the
message.
Final Analysis
Hendrickson: As fantasy films go,
"Ed ward Scissorhands" is outstanding
and may set a precedent for the modernization of faerie tales in the movies.
Burton has a huge talent, and this film
is a step up for him.

The Playwrights Ensemble Theatre (PET), a new commercial playwrighting group in Eugene, will premiere two plays written by members of
LCC's performing arts community.
"The Fan Club," written by Jerry Seifert, playwrighting instructor at
LCC and "U R Us," written by Bjo Ashwill, a local playwright, will be
featured Friday, Jan. 25, at Cafe 131, 6th and Main, in Springfield.
"The primary focus of this new company is the development of new
playwrights and new plays," saysSeifer·t ,executivedirectorof PET." ... We
will be expanding outward to the entire Northwest, looking for suitable,
new and exciting scripts to produce."
PET is an outgrowth of the playwrighting program at LCC. Seifert says
the intention was to create a theatei;. that will be run by students. Although ..
it will be open to the community, students will have priority, he says.
LCC students that participate may be able to receive Cooperative Work
Experience (CWE) credit. Seifert says one of the problems encountered with
CWE is a lack of opportunity for placements in the community for student
theater artists. PET will hopefully work toward mending that, says Seifert,
by giving students a place to practice and learn.
The staff of PET includes local playwright, and former LCC counselor
Bjo Ashwill as literary manager and marketing director, LCC students
Michael Sorenson as artistic director, JoAnn Pachito as producing director
and Sherry Lady as children's theatre director.
The dinner theater plays will run Friday and Saturday nights through
Feb. 16. Dinner will be served at 7 p.m., the shows begin at 8 p.m.
Tickets, which cover both plays, are $5 and may be obtained at the door.
Interested persons may call Cafe 131 at 726-0430.

Valdez: Asl said, my only argument
is with the structure of the ending. The
ending is good, but it is compromised
by a few •errant settings. Most of the
people I know found the ending acceptable because the rest of the movie
works so well. I agree, but I would have
been more satisfied with a more definitive ending.
The ending would have telt more
realistic if Edward's fate had represented the oppression he discovered.
Overall, I recommend this movie to
most everyone including children, as
long as some time to explain the meaning is taken. One of the must see movies
of the season.

Small sculpture theme of upcoming art exhibit

TEXTBOOKS

Small Sculpture Exhibition,
which will feature the work of
29 artists from around Oregon,
opens Monday, Jan. 28.
The sculptures, in keeping
with the event title, were specified by Gallery Director Harc!d Hoy to be under 15 inches,
but "not everybody followed
that, I'm afraid," says Hoy.
Some pieces will be larger than
specified.
"The artists are from vari-

ous regions of Oregon," says
Hoy. He says he tried to represent a good cross-section of the
mediums available in sculpture, including metal, stone,
wood, and kinetic sculptures,
which are sculptures that
move.
"I tried to select what I think
is the most interesting work,"
says Hoy.

"The underlying theme of

White, who instructs jewelrymetalsmithing. According to
White, the artists will be showing their work in smaller size.
The only connecting thread
