Proposal to ax
UO programs

by John Unger
Torch Staff Writer

The ASLCC Senate endorsed Michael Dubick, a candidate for an LCC Board of
Education position, at the Jan.
28Senatemeeting. The Senate,
however, did not consider the
platform of Dubick's opponents, Julia Kaiser and Robert
Hall.
At the same meeting,
ASLCCapproved$1500for Denali magazine's winter term
issue.
Dubick has served on LCC' s
Budget Committee for the past
year and has been endorsed by
the LCC Faculty Union. He is a
high school counselor and also
serves on Creswell's City
Council.
"I was confused as to
whether our endorsement has
to be singular," said Senator .
Kim Poffenberger, who voted
for the endorsement. "But this
guy knows what he wants and
where he's going. He has good
background, interest, experience, and made a great presentation."
ASLCC President Michael
Omogrosso does not feel that
the Senate should endorse
more than one candidate. "Endorsement means we think this
person is going to do a great
job," he said.
"I'm curious why the other
candidates haven't been eager
to seek the endorsement of the
associated
students,"
Omogrosso added.

Vol. 26

Transfer students to be affected
By Devan C. Wilson
Torch Editor

Editor's note:this is the first in a three-part installment examining the program cuts at the University of
Oregon, the effects on LCC students intending to transfer to ·the university, and other options for those students.

Toiling through tough times
LCC's Katy Carter shoots for two in the Titans 86-72 loss to
Chemeketa on Jan. 26. The Titans have had a hard-luck season,
losing seven games by seven points or less.

Entrance exam may limit admission
by Mary Browning
Torch Associate Editor

BeginningJan.1, LCC could no longer admit
degree seeking students who have not earned a
high school diploma or a General Education
Degree (GED), .or passed an Ability to Benefit
test.
The new policy was passed by Congress in
November, as part of the Budget Reconciliation
Act.
The new guidelines affect anyone applying
to take credit classes and pursuing a degree or
certificate from an institution participating in
federal financial aid programs. Students who
are taking credit classes for personal enrichment or job enhancement, but are not working
towards a degree or certificate, are not affected.
Neither are students who were registered at
LCC Fall Term, 1990 - whether or not they
have a high school diploma or a GED.
Associate Director of Financial Aid Linda

DeWitt says it is still unclear how many students will be affected by the new requirements,
but approximately 15 percent of applicants for
admission and financial aid don't have a high
school diploma or GED.
"I think that this type of legislation," she
says, "comesoutof Congress' concern with t~e
loan default rate. They want to be sure that
students who are borrowing money to go to
schoolhavetheabilityto be successful." DeWitt
says that community colleges h_ave high loan
default rates.
According to DeWitt, LCC has no choice in
deciding whether to comply with the new
mandate, if it wishes to continue to receive
federal financial aid benefit programs. If LCC
chose not to comply with the new directive,
says DeWitt, then the federal government could
withdraw its financial aid support to all LCC
students.

Turn to Entrance, page 7

In an announcement that will drastically impact the future of LCC transfer students, University of Oregon President Myles Brand said on Jan.
29 that more than 20 academic programs at the U
of O will be closed, reorganized, or merged under
a proposal submitted by U of O Provost Norm
Wessells.
A result of Ballot Measure 5, the property tax
limitation approved by voters in November, Brand
said the program eliminations are the deepest
absorbed by the university since the Depress!on.
Additionally, the U of O proposes to reduce
student enrollment from 18,000 to 16,000, and
increase student tuition and fees to at least $2,665
per year in 1991-92, as compared to $1,970 for the
current year.
In response to the cutbacks, LCC Director or
Counseling John Winquist says the uni v~rsi ty will
use transfer students as an enrollment management tool.
"What this means," says Winquist, "is sometimes a student with 30 credits is going to have a
better chance (at getting into the U of 0) than a
student with 100 credits, and sometimes the other ·
way around," dependent on the university's enrollment needs.
Hardest hit by the cu ts would be the university's
College of Education, College of Human Development and Performance, and the College of Arts
and Sciences.

Senate criticized
Two recent actions by the ASLCC Senate raise questions concerning ethics. The first concerns the possible
development of an honorary executive cabinet position,
the second concerns the endorsement of a candidate for
the LCC Board of Education.

Honorary position
The Senate has discussed the creation of an honorary
executive cabinet position to be filled by Sione Araujo,
should she return to LCC from her native Brazil.
The position could entail a full tuition waiver for Araujo,
who was elected last spring to the ASLCC vice president
position on a ticket with ASLCC President Michael
Omogrosso. After returning to Brazil during the summer
months, she was denied a student visa by the U.S. Consulate. Maya Thomas, who served as interim VP during Fall
Term 1990, was appointed in early January to fill the
position for the remainder of the year.
Some points to consider:
•Undercurrent ASLCC plans, this position, should it
be developed, would not be open to all students, as are all
other ASLCC executive cabinet and senate vacancies.
• Though elected by a popular vote, Araujo was elected
to fulfill certain responsibilities that have now been assumed by another capable individual.
• ASLCC Senators do not receive tuition deferrals,
despite the consistent effort they put forth on behalf of
students. Yet the Senate finds it appropriate to consider
paying tuition for an individual who has yet to serve the
~tudents this academic year.
This criticism is not directed towards Araujo personally. Likemanystudentsoncampus, Torch Editorial Board
members would welcome Araujo back to LCC. Rather we
question the principle behind awarding her full tuition,
should she return. It seems the Senate, on this issue, is
directing its attention towards meeting the needs of an
individual not currently on campus, rather than to the
students who already are.
Board of Education endorsement
On Jan. 28, theSenateendorsed Michael Dubick'scandidacy for the LCC Board of Education without hearing
the platforms of Dubick's opponents, Julie Kaiser and
Robert Hall (see story, page 1).
While the Senate was obviously impressed with Dubick, granting him an endorsement without hearing the
other candidates' positions, screams for an ·explanation.
Yet to date, no student government member has offered
one.
Though an ASLCC endorsement of a candidate is
appropriate, we question the fact that the process was not
open to all qualified candidates before an endorsement
was awarded, as well as the lack of an explanation for this
action. Again, it seems the Senate is not adequately addressing the needs of the students they are elected to serve.

Homelessness

War and oil

To the Editor,
Twenty years ago the majority of the homeless population consisted of mainly white
transient men. Since I began
working on homeless issues, I
became a ware that this belief is
still held by many people, yet it
no longer holds true.
In the last twenty years the
number of homeless women
and children has risen in outstanding numbers. I ask the
question "Why?"
Is it because they just don't
want to work? NO! It is because a single woman with
children cannot support her
family,even working a full time
job. Whyisitthat40,000people
die every day from hunger
related causes, when there is
enough wheat, rice, and other
grains produced to feed every
human being on earth 3,600
calories a day?
Right now there are three
million homeless Americans,
one million of which are school
aged children. Children are the
largest growing segment of the
homeless population in the
United States and the numbers
are rising 25% every year.
Recent studies predict that by
the year 2000 there will be an
additional 19,000 more homeless men, women and children
in Lane County alone. How
bad does this problem have to
become before enough people
decide to take action and initiate change? The time is now!
Get involved, be a part of the
solution. OSPIRG Hunger and
Homeless group meetings are
Wednesdays, at 3 p.m. in the
basement of the Center Building.
Julie Sherwood

To the Editor,
The two main beneficiaries
of the war are our military and
our oil companies.
Take note that when the oil
fields are secured, the oil companies will have conveniently
side-stepped domestic environmental pressures like offshore drilling moratoriums
and all those nagging cries for
alternative energy development. Theywill,ofcourse,reap
massive profits selling us
mideast oil and don't have to
cough up dime one to pay for
the war!
You'll also notice that the
war comes just in time for our
military to mop up the "peace
dividend."
In order for the hawks to
reap long-range benefits in
terms of future budget requests, there will have to be
massive American casualties
and loss of hardware. After
we've paid the price we will
have bought a controlling interest in a quaint kingdom and its
,oil, as well as control of Iraqi
oil.
We also end up with a massive military force (no doubt
multi-national) at Iran's doorstep. The continuing "threat to
our interests" or "window of
vu lnera bili ty" or whatever
semantical device comes next
will most certainly figure into
upcoming military budget demands.
And what happens to Saddam?
He obviously can't look
forward to a quiet retirement
at home. Even if he won the
war (which is impossible) he
still can't sell oil, import supplies, or stave off the inevitable

conflict with Israel and others.
Under the best of conditions
he would have to spend the
rest of his life looking over his
shoulder.
I say he plans on obligingly
throwing his army to the
wolves then take a rear exit to
a waiting Air American jet that
wisks him and the Iraqi treasury to a well guarded secret
room at the Marcos Hilton on
the outskirts of Buenos Aires
or someplace. Of course, he'll
receive unlimited free chemotherapy at the Shah Pavleve
Memorial Clinic if that's what
he happens to need.
Although this scenario is
admittedly speculative, you've
got to admit that stranger
things have happened when
the CIA writes the script.
In any case I think you have
to be a damn fool if you can't
see whose interests are best
served by this war.

Now is time to

To the Editor,
Being of prime age for the
draft, if it were reinstated, I am
very concern~d about the situation in the Middle East. As a
nation we are facing some very
difficult choices. No one questions the atrocities committed
by Iraq toward the people of
Kuwait, but the question of
using military force is of the
greatest controversy. War is always horrible and death never
easy to face. I am writing this

can't keep."
Rawson says he received "a very positive response" from
Vice President of Instruction Jim Ellison when he spoke with
him at the beginning of Winter Term 1991.
Ellison suggested that he go through ASLCC to form a
committee that could send its reports to the administration ..
Ellison says that he feels that forming a student committee
would be a good idea. "If a number of people agree on something, it adds more ammunition, and carries a lot more weight."
Having a student committee would help to "cover the bases
better," he says. "Students have a uniqueperspective,and that's
what we need to take advantage of."
"I like the idea that students are being asked their opinion,"
says Omogrosso. "They are one of the significant stakeholders
in the the make-up of the college community."
Anyone interested in joining or learning more about the
proposed committee, can contact Rawson through the ASLCC
office on the fourth floor of the Center Building, ext. 2330.

Rally by the Bay
San Francisco was the site of a massive anti-war
rally Saturday, Jan. 26. By noon, over 250,000 people
had gathered along Market Street for a march to the
Civic Center.
Along the way, the streets were lined with protestors, many holding signs and other symbols of their
political convictions, including these two men holding
this flag with a coffin clad soul painted on it.

could see that some students were feeling severe

Recognizing this pain and anger, it was clear to

Omogrosso about the possibility of starting support
groups on campus.
"I loved the idea," Omogrosso says. "This could
really help to ease the tensions here at home."
Soon after talking to Johnston, Omogrosso contacted a few experienced individuals to help start the

groups. First on his list was Father James Derringer
from Campus Ministries. Then he spoke to Women's
Program Coordinator Kate Barry.
"There have been forums about the Gulf Crisis,
but nothing for people to really talk about their
feelings. I think these support groups will be a good
resource, something for people to express what's
inside beyond the forums." Barry said.
Finally, Omogrosso contacted Counselors Harvey
Bond and Jack Hart. Along with Bond's assistant,
Melissa Vogel, they all met to develop strategies.
The five of them decided to hold two meetings a
week, on Wednesdays and Thursdays, to give everyone who needs support an opportunity to attend.
They decided the focus needed to be for those
people who ·are directly affected by association of
people in the Gulf. They thought that if everyone
there could share their fears on a more personal level,
sessions would be more beneficial to those listening.

Then they chose to have only two people mediate
each session.
"I say mediate," Omogrosso says, "because its not
so much a place to educate. It's a time to let people
talk, to possibly gain some direction from that."
Everyone involved in the planning stages say they
feel good about their decisions and excited about the
first session.
"I immediately thought (the support groups) were
a wonderful idea," says Bond. "I have wanted to get
involved in the crisis and this has given me that
opportunity.
~'I hope that people will be able to deal with their
feelings through these sessions. If they are, this will
have been a good thing."
For those interested in attending the support
groups, the first will be on Wednesday, Feb. 6 from 2
p.m. to 3:20 p.m. and Thursday, Feb. 7 from 4 p.m. to
5:20p.m.

War distractions·
affect students
by Chris Barron
Torch Staff Writer

When the war in the Middle
EasteruptedJan.15,America's
focus was not on work or
school, but directed to the
events in the Persian Gulf region.
The post-Vietnam generaJion' s only fdea of what
war is like came from invasions of Grenada, Libya or
Panama. These invasions
lasted only a few days each.
The U.S. was the clear winner
in those minor conflicts that
saw little or no retaliation.
Butnow, with a war bearing
the potential to last for months
or longer, what are students
doing to cope? What diversions are they using to focus
attention away from the current crisis?
Surprisingly, when 10 students w-ere asked what they
are doing to get away from
the war coverage, each student
said either work or school is

Data base to make child care more affordable
byFeather Cra~ford
Torch Staff Writer

LCC, along with 12 other
represented agencies in Lane
County, are using a $15,000
grant from the Oregon Child
Care commission to put together a data base intended to
make child care more affordable and convenient.
Dr. David Andrews, owner
of Family Support Systems, is
developing the child care resource and referral program
for LCC students and Lane
County residents.
Andrews says LCChas been
chosen as the lead agency in
developing this child care
program. "LCC put the proposal together, has support
from other agencies in the
community and a good reputation for training," says Andrews.
He says the resource and
referral program, which Andrews hopes will be operational by June, will attempt to
create a data base of child care

providers to whom parents will
have telephone access. Andrews hopes to educate parentsaboutthe factors that make
a childcare facility first rate.
Through studying the calls
the referral service receives,
Andrews hopes to determine
the types of child care currently
lacking in Lane County, such
as infant care or late night services. Andrews then plans to
recruit and train child care providers for those specific needs
and times.
Andrews also hopes to discover the locations in Lane
County where more child care
recruitment and training are
necessary. He says he is working to increase the number of
child care providers in Lane
County, from the current 6,500
known child care centers to a
total of 20,000.
The fee for the resource and
referral services will be based
on a sliding scale from no
charge to $15, according to

provider's needs and income.
There will be no fee for LCC
students, however, and Andrews plans to increase and
improve on-campus child care
through the program's training and recruitment of child
care providers working or volunteering at LCC.
ASLCC Cultural Director

As the program grows
Andrews says he hopes to receive contracts from major
employers in the community,
investing in the program and
thereby providing free access
to their employees, and possibly special education for the
child care consumers in their
employment.

TrishRosewood, who is active
in promoting awareness of
child care issues on campus,
says she is "generally pretty
happy with David Andrews'
work," and the development
of the data base. However, she
expresses concern that child
care issues on campus are not
being adequately addressed.

for the Torch

The LCC Foundation is now rated as one of the top 25
community college fund raising units in the United States .
. Joe Farmer, Foundation director, says the announcement of
the rating by the Council For Aid To Education follows a record
year of fund raising at LCC. The foundation raised over$193,000
in cash for scholarships, and over $96,000, in"gifts-in-kind"
material donations in the 1989-90 school year.
In addition, Farmer says an anonymous donor gave LCC
$10,000 since the end of the last fiscal school year. Farmer says
the donation is in the form of an endowment from an anonymous donor who has previously donated money to the
foundation's scholarship fund, and will eventually total $1.2
million upon the donor's death.
The bequest, when received, will establish a scholarship fund
of $3,500 a year for seven students from each of the local area's
high schools. Farmer says the scholarships, as mandated in the
bequest, can be used for a period of up to four years, if the
recipients choose to attend a four year college after completing
two years at LC~.
Currently the foundation's portfolio has a market value
of$1,013,000. Farmer says he is more than pleased "his small
shop" has been able to generate that amount of money for the
LCC Foundation.
The foundation's staff is comprised of only two people,
Farmer and Roberta Opdenweyer, secretary /bookkeeper.

Bus stop roof installed

The roof to the on-campus LTD bus terminal was installed this week, much to the
delight of students who have been forced to wait in the rain. The roof has been on order
from a Connecticut-based company, and was painted in Portland to match the rest of
the structure.

continued from page 1

ASLCC Senator Dan Christensen said "A lot of the endorsement was the result of
(Dubick) being the only one to
come before the Senate." Christensen was the only ASLCC
Senator to vote against the
endorsement.
"The thing that annoyed me
about him was hearing him say
that the other candidates only
applied just before the deadline," implying that they were
not as organized, Christensen
said. "I would have appreciated the chance to investigate
the situation further."
When Christensen proposed tabling the motion to
endorse Dubick for a week,
Dubick reminded the Senate
that he did have a schedule,
and would like a decision to be
made as soon as possible. Previously, Dubick had said that
he didn't want to rush the
Senate.

Explaining his politic al
style, Dubick said that he does
not hesitate with influencing
people. "Sometimes you have
to play a little parliamentary
poker and bluff people into
some kind of action," he said.
"I am able to look at a situation,
in the positions people hold,
and work to build a consensus."
Cultural Director Trish
Rosewood said that the fact
that Dubick is politically savvy
is part of whx he would make
a good board member. She said
that Dubick relates to students
easily and was also supportive
of child care at the last budget
committee meeting, although
she resented his not giving her
credit for the work she has
done. Rosewood is a child care
activist and member of
ASLCC' s Child Care Committee.
She also questions his sup-

port of instituting ent~ance
requirements in order for
people to enter LCC.
Rosewood said she voted for
the endorsement because she
thinks that Dubick has a good
understanding of the implications of Ballot Measure 5. She
said thaf when a similar property tax limitation measure
passed when she was on the
Board of Trustees at Ohlene
Community College in Fremont, Calif, the Board was increasingly required to go to
Sacramento in order to influence decisions affecting the
college.
"People don't understand
the dynamics involved with the
passage of Measure 5," Rosewood said, "but (Du bick)
knows the right people, the
processes, and the places to
go."
Rosewood said she thinks
that the Senate should have

waited a week to decide. "I
think we made a mistake," she
admitted this week. "I'm not
saying that he's not the right
candidate, though."
ASLCC Treasurer Laura
Rodgers said "I felt he was the
right person for the position or
I would not have made the
motion (for granting the endorsement)."
In other business, the Senate approved funding the
winter issue of LCC's literary
arts magazine, Denali. The
Senate previously approved
$1500 for the fall term publication.
Denali Edi tor Robin Robbins
said that the magazine has attracted 15 students onto its
staff, and she does not want to
lose this momentum.
Robbins said that Denali is
initially funded $1500 for the
year by Student Services. She
has also solid ted $200 from the

English Department, $50 from
Performing Arts, $300 from the
Vice President of Administrative Services, $500 from the Vice
President of Student Services,
$250 from the Vice President of
Instruction, and $250 from the
President's office.
ASLCC Treasurer Laura
Rodgers st~ged a lonely battle
to deny dispersal of student
money for this project. "I can
see some financial repercussions, but that's the decision
you guys made," she said after
the Senate vote.
"We spend a lot of money
on things that give us little in
return," Rosewood responded.
"The success of Denali justifies
this venture."
The next Senate meeting will
be on Feb 4 at 3:00 p.m. in the
Boardroom, beginning with an
executive session (closed to the
public) to discuss personnel
matters.

Each year, one student is
selected from LCC to exchange
with a student from Nagasaki
Wesleyan Junior College

way to learn a foreign language, while living in another

can participate in the exchange
program withoutpriorinstruction in Japanese, although
knowledge of the language is
certainly helpful. "A student
can learn while they are there.
The goal is to learn conversational and literacy skills in
Japanesewhilebecomingapar t

According to Davis, previous exchange students have
received University of Oregon
credit for first and second year
Japanese. Participators in the
program will receive a school
transcript showing their school
credit during the year.
"Benefits of studying abroad
are some of the more intrinsic
qualities people gain," exp la ins
Davis. "To live in another culture and learn the language and
customs helps people remove
some of their cultural blinders
that we really are unaware of
until we are fortunate enough
to have an experience like this."

Financially, a student is able
to be a part .of the exchange
program for about the same

Emphasizing the Japanese
people as "extremelypoliteand
hospitable," Davis says. "The
idea of hosting in Japan goes
far beyond the U.S. sense of
hosting. Relationships are very
important to the Japanese culture, making going (to Japan) a
special experience."
Last year's exchange student, Ken Dutchess, could have
returned to the states in July,
butchosetostayinJapan,finding the program fulfilling and
rewarding, says Davis.
Students interested in applying for the exchange program may get an application

The deadline for applications
is April 15.

Student applies theater to children~s education
Snips of snails and puppy dog tails
are among the ingredients for Wendy
Davie's career happiness.
After eight years spent searching for
her niche at LCC, Davie has decided on
a career in early childhood education.
Having previously applied herself
in the pursuit of degrees in Theater and
English, Davie finds her variety of skills
empower her with the ability to stimulate and e~cite young minds. And in

the process, she knows that she will
continue to learn and discover.
"The theater experience is really
useful. I think everyone should take an
improvisation class," says Davie. "You
have to get up there, in a circle, in front
of 25 kids. Sometimes you get very
nervous."
She adds that active training, such as
training in theater, can often be a very
important tool for working with children, who unknowingly apply theater
skills daily, in the act of "pretending."
"Also," Davie says, "when your're
reading to kids, it's important to get the
right intonation, so that you can keep
their interest."
As an advanced Early Childhood

hours a week, and is responsible for
designing a week-long class theme.

"The week I'm doing is on weather,"
says Davie. "I'm doing rain, wind,

sunshine, and snow. I'm having John
Fischer from KEZI come in."
Davie says that all child care centers
are focussing more on process than
product. One example at the LCC center is a class project using dead fish.
"We (temporarily had) a fish tank in
the center and (the children) wanted to
touch the fish. We explained to them
that the fish would die if we took them
out." So, Davie says, dead fish were
brought into the center for the children
to examine. "The activity let them see
what they felt like."
"I would have never touched a fish,"
she confesses, "but some of them
wanted me to open the mouth for them.
It makes you try things that you might
never try."
Davie says that working with children makes a person look at the big
picture as well as Ii ttle things. "It makes
you take a look at a leaf falling and
wonder how it fell from a tree, with the
inquisitiveness of a child," she says
with a grin. "We all have that child still
in us."
After completing her associates
degree in Early Childhood Education,
she plans to work in a day care center,
and possibly continue going to school.
Her long-term goal is to work with
emotionally abused children. "I've read
a lot about emotionally abused children and I know I want to work with
them," she says with determination. "I
know someday I will."

Women's Day instills courage to succeed
review by Donna Gavin
Torch Staff Writer

It has been a few years since
the women's movement gathered the first steam to challenge accepted, even prescribed, limitations on
women's lives.
Given today's statistics and
examples about working
women, like the images we see
on television of female officers
in the armed forces, one might
assume that progress for
women is now a well-paved,
clearly marked path.
However, Women's Day at
LCC was started because "We
knew there was a need for
women to have information
about Lane's programs from
the volume coming through the
Women's Center and Displaced Homemaker program"

says Kate Barry, coordinator of
the Women's Program at LCC,
" ... so, we came up with
Women's Day, a sort of 'userfriendly' way for women to
explore options, do some workshops, tour some programs ...
different than coming out (to
LCC) on their own.
During this year's Women's
Day, morning sessions focused
on.financial aid, career planning, high wage jobsand how
to get started. After lunch,
participants could visit two of
LCC's participating vocational
programs.
Jean Conklin, of the counseling department, in her first Career Planning workshop of the ·
morning, exclaimed, "It is incredible that there is this much
interest. What does this say?"
The responses indicated a
variety of reasons and needs

that brought the hopeful
women to LCC: "Jobs are hard
to find ... waking up to express
who we are ... doing something we enjoy ... don't want
to be 62 and still working at
Taco Time ... self-fulfillment,"
expressed theattendantsofthat
session.
Conklin led the women in a
discussion about the difference
between a job and a career,
during which it was generally
agreed that a job is tied to economics, while a career expresses "who you are."
Said Conklin, ''We're changing the way we were raised as
females." With heads nodding
in affinna tion, Conklin continued talking about how women
still don't give themselves permission to have fun, to spend
time with themselves, and ne.
to stop being negative about

their lives.
Lucille H. Nielsen presented
"High Wage Jobs" and advised
the women about agencies and
publications that provide upto-datejobinformation, things
to consider such as where they
wanted to live, and accessibility toeducation.Nielsenstated
that avoidance of science and
math and low self image are
two factors that lock women
out of high wage jobs. "We
need to recognize childhood
messages," said Nielsen.
In another workshop, the
women learned about financial aid and how LCC could
help them apply for college
funding. Counselor Margie
Holland presided over a session that included advice on
getting a good start at LCC.

'Hamlet' immunizes lingering naivete of humans ·
by John Unger
Torch Staff Writer

Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of
Denmark," is not cheerful, but helps increase audience
awareness of humans' base natures. The recently
released movie "Hamlet" likewise immunizes any
lingering naivete of human extremes.
One of these natures is seen when the ghost of
Hamlet's father, performed by Paul Scofield, awakens
Hamlet to the fact that "the serpent that did sting thy
father's life, now wears his crown."
Saddened by his father's death and his mother's
hasty marriage to his uncle, who is now the King,
Hamlet loses his faith in women and destroys the
woman he loves, Ophelia. Helena Bonham-Carter, a
British actress, portrays Ophelia brilliantly, much
like a flower tom apart by the wrath of an early
winter.
•
In this movie, Mel Gibson fills the role of Hamlet.
"His strength in front of the camera, combined with
his past performances on stage in Shakespearean and
other classical plays, made him a perfect choice to be
the Hamlet of the '90's," says film director Franco
Zeffirelli. Gibson's adept confidence truly is powerful.
His convincing, feigned insanity (is he feigning?)
balanced by his vigilant desire to avenge his father's
death and his hesitancy to act, scream of modernity.
"Mel brings out those dual qualities in Hamlet page 8

the vitality and humor before the storms he faces after
his father's murder," says Zeffirelli. Gibson seems to
effectively bring out conflicting traits in this movie.
Glenn Close, as Hamlet's mother, Gertrude,

new husband. "Gertrude is a woman who has been
awakened for the first time in her life by a full,
satisfying, sensual relationship, which she didn't
have with her first husband," she says. Close portrays
Gertrude as content and possibly naive.
The themes of this drama seem as muddled as the
currentglobalsituation.Butthemajormeaningofthe
script is that poisoning one's own heart unleashes a
destructive potential thatsoonescalatesoutofcontrol.

Friends, family, and neighbors perish like white blood
cells fighting a virus, leaving nobody to maintain the
basic systems.
While the characters in the movie cannot respond
to feedback from the audience, director Zeffirelli
exploits the advantages of film: scenes of medieval
stonework next to the sea (mostly of Dover Castle in
southern England); the cliffs of Scotland populated
by seabirds; horses and large crowds. The
cinematography is incredible.
"Much of the emotional work was done for the
characters by Zeffirelli's creation of mood ... a real
gift for the actor," says Gibson, who uses Zeffirelli's
diligence to carry the emotional work to its limit.
The only thing I, as a reviewer, would like to have
seen done differently in the movie would be to have
had Tina Turner play the role of Hamlet's mother.
She was paired perfectly with Gibson in "Mad Max",
not to detract from Glenn Close though -- her performance excels, as does the entire movie.
Zeffirelli states, "Shakespeare's plays translate into
such good films. 'Hamlet' is particularly rich, in
texture and events and characters. It is a magnificent
tragedy. Then into this beautiful story, this magical
plot, is injected the genius of his language."
"Hamlet" is indeed rich. Zeffirelli, who has
considered making a film of Hamlet since 1964, does
justicetowhathasbeenconsideredoneoftheworld's

Students Chris Palmquist and Shannon Fabry discuss their dating dilemmas in a dress
rehearsal of "Do Over," a comedy directed by LCC Faculty member James McCarty.

Evening of short plays premieres
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Entertainment Editor

Students are "waiting with bated breath,"
says LCC Performing Arts Faculty member
James McCarty.
What are they waiting for? "An Evening
of Short Plays," the LCC Blue Door Theatre
production which will present an opportunity
for student directors and performers to
showcase their talents for an audience.
Opening Friday, Feb. 15 at 8 p.m., the plays
will run two weekends.
According to Publicist Myrna Seifert, two
of the three plays will be student directed
and performed in an attempt to provide
students with the valuble experience of
performing for an audience.
"The intention of the short plays is to give
the student directors a chance to learn what
they use in the directing class," says Seifert.
According to Seifert, there are very few
opportunities for students to present
productions within the Performing Arts
schedule during the year. Thus, three short
plays are offered instead of one full length
production. This gives three times as many
students an opportunity to use their skills.
McCarty says that he is directing the third
play instead of a student due to a lack of
students who felt qualified to choose and
direct a play. McCarty is a set designer at
LCC, but has previous experience in directing.
This will be his first directing job at LCC.
The three plays will include:
•" A Grave Encounter," is a comedy
written by Gene Raffini. Directed by student
Peter Braun, the play features student Angela

Niarre playing the role of Marianna, a young
woman who visits her father's grave every
Father's Day to talk to him. Student Garland
0. Sprick plays Pasquale, a baker who visits
his father every day to talk to him, and claims
his father talks back. During a meeting,
Marianna decides Pasquale is the man she's
been looking for. This play was a co-winner
in the 1988 Off-Broad way Original Short Play
Festival.
•"The Blue Hour: City Sketches," is a
short theatre piece written by David Mamet.
Student Melissa Letcher directs this play,
with students Maya Thomas, Mickey Wilson,
Dale Wambolt, and Heather Bou her
performing. This piece is comprised of four
short sketches which take a satirical look at
lives in a big city during rush hour.
•"Do Over," is described by director
McCarty as "a romantic comedy with an
unusual twist." Written by Frederick Stoppel,
this play featuresstudentChrisPalrnquist as
a young man trying to save the woman he's
dating from their relationship. Student
Shannon Fabry plays the woman, who finds
him unexpectedly in her living room, 20
minutes early for their date, wearing pajamas.
Student Michelle Waytenick is the set
designer for the three plays. Chad Norris
will manage the stage, with Megan Seifert
assisting. Richard MacKenzie is technical
director.

Super Bowl sullied by display of nationalism
Sunday, Jan. 27, started off to be a
beautiful day.
For the first time in weeks I was
·going to be able to sleep past noon. I'd
caught up on all of my studying and
yes, I was going to watch the Super
Bowl in peace because my wife was
working.
But, by the time the game was over,
the happiness and expectation had
turned to disappointment and nausea.
I'd been cheated out of an entertaining
day of leisure.
Most of the game's first half went
well.
The Buffalo Bills led 12-3 and the
New York Giant offense appeared to
be, from my viewpoint, gleefully inept.
Late in the first half, however, the
tide turned.
The Giants ground out an 87-yard
drive at the close of the half to tighten
up the score.
At this point, a dark and foreboding
despair rose up from my gut telling me
the Giants would probably win the
game.
Family-oriented and quiet Jeff
Hostetler would out-quarterback the

outspoken and single party animal Jim
Kelly.
Blood and guts coach Bill Parcells
would defeat the Harvard educated
English major, Marv Levy.
The quietly strong, common man
would triumph over the fun-loving
poetry-spouting iconoclast.
Asl watched Peter Jennings gloomily
speak of war in the Persian Gulf during

commentary
by robert catalano
the halftime break, my stomach began
to churn. The idea of a Giant victory
seemed more logical by the minute.
The only sign giving me hope that
the rest of the game would not be a
disaster was the misguided fe_eling that
I'd been spared the usual smarmie halftime extravaganza.
Oh, how wrong can a man be!
The network (ABC) decided to thrill
football fans all over America with a
highlight show of half-time activities
and top it off with a taped message

from President and Mrs. Bush.
My eyes had trouble adjusting from
the white shirt-sleeves and green
playing field to the oncoming sea of
red, white and blue.
Then, my brain started spinning from
the incongruous images of children
singing, mom baking apple pie,
Chevrolet engines driving the Walt
Disney floats, flags waving, trumpets
blaring, bombs bursting in air and God
smiling on America the beautiful.
Out of the wings came the children
of American service personnel stationed
in the Middle East, along with Mickey
Mouse, hot dogs, and Bud Bowl 3.
Churning stomach, blurry eyes,
spinning brain, confused images: I had
all the symptoms of nausea.
Justwhenl thoughtlmightgutitout
without having to cover my eyes and
tum white, the network played the Bush
tape. For a moment, as George and
Babs were thanking me for allowing
them into my living room, I saw the
rocket's red glare, the bomb's bursting
in air, and yes, on the screen, the flags
were still there.
As tears came to my eyes and my
U.S. Army training almost caused an

involuntarily salute, a blinding flash of
insight dulled my patriotic zeal and all
the confusing images became clear.
We were equating the innocent
beauty of children, the game of football,
Mom, apple pie, Mickey Mouse, and
pride in "what America stands for''
with the waging of war.
The hand rising to salute suddenly
went to cover my mouth.
I was sick and appalled that the
National Football League, ABC and
Walt Disney Enterprises would be
parties to this type of frenzied display
of nationalism.
After returning from the bathroom,
I shook my head and cleared my eyes,
and the Bills were kicking •off to the
Giants to start the second half.
I watched therestofthegamehoping
that I'd dozed off and the halftime show
had been a dream.
The Giants went on to win the game,
and God smiled on, of all places, New
York City. The silent majority had
beaten the outspoken iconoclast. And
nationalism had once again been
mistaken for patriotism.
For me, Super Bowl Sunday will
never be the same.

Clutch free-throw shooting seals 86-82 LCC victory
By Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

Nicole Bignotti (32) ·and Kelli Stonelake (20) guard against inbound pass
from Chemeketa CC during the second half of Jan. 26 loss to Chiefs.

Carrie Redifer and Katie Carter
converted two free-throw attempts
each, in the final minute of a Jan. 30
game against Southwest Oregon Community College (SWOCC), and LCC
finally found itself on the winning end
of a close score, 86-82.
Contrary to previous games, the
Titans won this one in the second half.
Led by Kelli Stonelake's 26 points
and Luci Cornutt's timely three pointers, LCC recovered from a four-point
halftime deficit, and kept the Lakers
close throughout the second half to set
up the final-minute heroics.
"Shots that didn't fall for us (in other
games) fell for us this time," said Titan
Assistant Coach Ron Richards. "We
played hard and finally won a close
one."
Redifer finished the game with 19
points, while Cornutt added 18, and
Carter 16.
"This had the intensity of a playoff
game," said Titan Coach Dave Loos.
''Now that we've got everyone happy,
we need to win a couple of games on
the road to make up for some home

losses."
The Titans improved their Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) conference
record to 3-6 and are now 9-12 overall.
On Jan.26, LCC lost to first-place
Chemeketa (in the NWAACC), 86-72.
The Titans, who were down by as
many as 17 points in the second half,
rallied to within six points with 1:30
remaining in the game.
LCC was then called for both an
intentional and a technical foul, which
broke their momentum and allowed
the Chiefs to cruise to victory.
"We just didn't play smert at the ·
end," said Loos. "We've been playing
33 to35 minutes of good basketball, but
we get beat by our lapses. We got within
six and then made some mental mistakes we couldn't overcome."
Richardsadded, "Therearenodrills
for (preventing) mental mistakes."
Carrie Redifer led the Titans with 22
points.
Teresa Howard scored 34 points and
Toni Trierweller added 19 points to
lead the Chiefs.
The Titans next home game is on
Feb. 6 against Umpqua CC.

Titan men come from behind to notch win in overtime
By Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

Sam Thompson's 16 points
and eight rebounds led the LCC
men's basketball team to a 7471 overtime victory against
Southwest Oregon Community College (SWOCC) in Coos
Bay on Jan. 30.
"It was a big win for us,"
said Titan coach Dale Bates.
''We had some problems in the
second half, but we were able
to overcome them."
LCC led 41-38 at the end of
a nip-and-tuck first half and
seemed to be on their way to
victory, until Titan ball-handling problems allowed
page 10

SWOCC to tie the game at 64
all at the end of regulation.
The Ti tans outscored
SWOCC, 10-7, in the extra
period to seal their second
overtime against the Lakers
this season.
Coach Bates washappywith
his team's effort.
"Sam (Thompson) scored
and boarded (rebounded) and
played good ''D" (defense),and
Damon (Neufeld) came off the
bench and did a real good job."
Neufeld scored 13 points
after coming into the game,
making all but one of his shots
from the field.
The 9-10 Titans, also benefitted from good performances
