On-campus childcare needs not met
by Kelley Egre
Torch Staff Writer

Editor's note:This is the first
installment in a three-part series
focusing on meeting childcare
needs on campus.
Over the past 20 years, various task forces have been set
up and surveys have been
taken to combat the overwhelming problems concerning childcare on campus.
The battle has been ongoing, the success rate has been
slim. Problems associated with
on-campus childcare prevail.
"Good, inexpensive childcare is really, really hard to
come by around here," says
mother and student Tammi
Aiello. ;1twould be nice if there
were something right here (on
campus)."
Student Tashia Manske is
also a proponent for expanding on-campus childcare. She
says she wants her child to be
near her when she's on campus.
"If you have your children
near you ... things would be a
lot simpler. The (caretakers)
could easily notify you (in the
event of an emergency) and if
you want to see how the pro-

many others, her daughter Amber receives childcare at the

childcare needs for students on campus are not being met.

gram is going, you can simply
stop by on your break and see
what's happening."
In response, the recently
developed LCC Childcare Task
Force has decided to take the
matter more seriously. In addition, the college, the LCC
Board of Education, ASLCC
and OSPIRG have all made an
effort to bring the old fight up
to date. The first step, many
agree,isa precise evaluation of
the exact childcare ne_e ds on
campus, though it is understood by all that at the top of
the docket is affordability.
Dr. David Andrews, employed by the college to consult on childcare needs oncampus, states in his latest
report to the college, "There is
a well-established need for
childcare that is high quality,
affordable, and accessible to
students and their children."
Currently, the only source
of on-campus childcare is the
Child Development Center,
which is used in the training of
Early Childhood Education
majors at LCC.
According to Andrews, students need childcare that is
flexible to their schedules, affordable, and accessible. He

says that no one should have to
go very far out of their way for
good care.
However, due to limitations
in space and the number of
trained caretakers available at
the Development Center, the
needs Andrews suggests are
not currently being met. In fact,
applicants to the center are
currently put on a waiting list.
Attimesthatwaitcouldlastup
to a full year.
Ironically, a prominent
problem in developing affordable on-campus childcare is
funding for research into realistic solutions to the ongoing
problems.
"It would be nice to have a
lot of money to solve all of our
problems with," Andrews
says, "butthat'sjustnotareality."
Vincent Jones, a member of
the LCC Childcare Task Force,
agrees that adequate funding
for meeting needs on campus
isamajorobstacle. "Everybody
is beating their chests saying,
'How are we going to fund
this?' It's one of those welfare

Cuts affect transfer plans
by Devan C. Wilson
Torch Editor

Editor's note: this is the second installment of a
three-part series examining the proposed program
cuts at the University of Oregon and other state
colleges, the effects on transfer students, and options
for those affected by the proposed cuts.
Proposed cuts at the University of Oregon
and pending reductions at other state institutions are having an immediate impact on many
LCC transfer students.
The U of O announced proposed cuts in
several programs, including the elimination of
most education programs, and the complete
closure of the College of Human Development
and Performance. Eastern Oregon State College
proposes to cut its computer sciences program,
whilePortlandState University(PSU)proposes
to cut or suspend 12 degree programs, but has
not identified which ones.
Although other state colleges and universities were scheduled to establish proposed cuts
by Feb. 6, at press time on Feb. 7 those proposed
cuts had not been made available to the press.
The proposed program eliminations are in
response to the requirements of Ballot Measure
5, the property tax limitation approved by voters last fall.
John Winquist, LCC director of counseling
says the U of O will use transfer students as an

"enrollment management tool," admitting
transfer students to fulfill specific admission
needs.
i/What that means is sometimes students
with 30 credit hours are going to have a better
chance (at gaining admission) than a student
with 100 credit hours," Winquist says, "and
sometimes it will be the other way around.
"The number of transfer students admitted
will .depend on size fluctuation in (the universities) freshmen, sophomore, and junior classes,"
according to Winquist.
U of O Director of Admissions Jim Buch says
this statement is accurate, but adds that such a
policy would not be applied to transfer students exclusively.
Buch says the U of O will use two factors to
determine admission for transfer students: the
range of courses completed, and overall grades.
U of O Admissions staff will first evaluate
transfer applicants based on accumulated grade
point average (GP A), and completion of writing (Writing 121) and math requirements (Math
105 or 111) necessary for entry to the university,
Buch says.
They will then assess the total number of
credits, and the number of complete requirements for the program to which students are
applying to.
Buch says the university will also evaluate
students' progression, based on their tranTurn to Cuts, page 10

Eugene-Springfield residents strongly back the United Nations resolution that permitted
the use of force in an attempt to liberate Kuwait, according to a phone poll conducted by the
Torch.
However, those polled are relatively split as to whether economic sanctions should have
been allowed further time to take effect prior to use of force.
In an unscientific sampling, the Torch randomly posed five questions concerning the
current crisis to 100 area residents in an attempt to gauge the community's attitudes.
Seventy-two percent of those asked said they support the U.N. resolution permitting the
use of force.
However, the respondents were relatively split as to whether they would serve in the
military coalition assembled in the Persian Gulf. A majority said they would not support a
U.S. Government decision to reinstate the draft.
Those polled were also split as to how long the current crisis would last, with "over six
months" garnering a slight majority of the votes cast.
Official results:
Question #1: Do you feel that economic sanctions should have been allowed further time to take
effect prior to the use of force in the Persian Gulf?
Yes: 47 %; No: 51 %; Did not answer(DNA): 2 %
Question #2: Do you support the United Nations resolution that permitted the use of force to
liberate Kuwait?
..
Yes: 72 %; No: 26 %; DNA: 2 %
Question #3: If asked, would you serve in the military coalition assembled to liberate Kuwait?
Yes: 41 %; No: 44 %; DNA: 15 %
Question #4: Would you support a U.S. Government decision to reinstate the draft?
Yes: 35 %; No: 56 %; DNA: 9 %
Question #5: How long do you feel the current conflict will last?
0ne month: 2 %; Two to six months: 43 %; Over six months: 52 %; DNA: 3 %

Influence legislature via OSPIRG
Right now, average Americans are finding it very difficult to get their local representatives to pay attention to their
concerns.
Last Nov. 6, legislators who
serve Lane County all fared reelection. In running their campaigns they collected over
$700,00 in contributions, over
90 percent of which came from
special interest groups.
Last summer I was campaigning with a group called
Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG)
and I felt the impact that big
money has on our political
scene. On a state ballot measure on which we citizens are
supposed to decide, big business made our decision for us.
The chemical industry outspentthecampaignI was working on 5 to 1 and was able to
sway the votes of Oregonians
whh consistent T.V. blitzes.
Once again I am working to
getthe same issue passed. Since •
1960, we've seen a 200 percent
increase in the amount of nonrecyclable product packaging.

•This packaging is overloading
our landfills.
The proposition was, and is,
very simple: it will set packaging standards - that packaging must .be made of either

forum
by brian stockton
reusable, recyclable, or recycled materials. Packaging
only has to meet one of these
standards, according to our
proposition, and it will greatly
reduce our landfill problem.
The difference now is that
we are working through the
state legislature. Even though
our representative s receive
large sums of money from
special interest groups, they
still have to get re-elected.
Therefore, they must listen to
their constituents.
This is where OSPIRG becomes important. What we do
is organize citizens and students to write or phone their
representatives, urging them

Question of the week: Do you think that personal ads that solicit for intimate relationships belong in a college

Editor's note: A recent topic of discussion within the Torch Editorial Board is the refining of a policy on personal ads that solicit for intimate relationships. In response,

we've decided to pose the q'!estion to th_e students.

"I don't see any reason
why not to have them in
there ... Occasionally
you get things like,
'Large Leather Witch
looking for whatever.'
Some people might cast
a glance at that as if it
wasn't appropriate, but I
don't see why not."

"Yes, I do. We live in a
country that is based on
free press - absolute
free press - and I can't
see anything wrong
with that ... there's
nothing wrong with an
intimate relationship ...
so I can't see anything
wrong with that."

" No, I don't think they
should be there. Intimate relationships are
to be involved in by two
people and I don't think
they need to be advertised."

"No I don't, and the
reason is, if they want to
have the personal
intimate relationships
they have, they can
write notes to each
other. They don't need
to be out in public like
that."

"I would be of the
opinion that ... It is not
the responsibility of the
.. management of the
publication to make
judgmental decisions as
to the morality of the
people (placing the ads)
and their own personal
behaviors."

"I think the ads are
trashy. I would prefer
not having them in our
newspaper."

Relationships need respect, trust
I asked a guy the other night
what he felt about "relationships" He responded, "You
ever hear that song, 'Love
Stinks'?"
Well, I had. And I must
admit my experience with love
was the best thing to happen to
me, but also the most painful.
The traditional roles are
changing in relationships. Only
23 percent of married women
still maintain the stereotypical
role: staying at home with the
children, while the husband
goes out and works.
One in two marriages results in divorce. That figure
goes higher for people tying
the knot for a second time seven out of ten.
• "In an American Bar Association suryey of judges,
friends of the court, and commissioners of domestic relations, 89 percent of the respondents cited financial problems
as one of the major causes of
divorce," says John M. Hayes,
from a 1978 article entitled Divorce, Mediator a New Role.
When my finances went
down the tubes after I was injured in a mill, every sort of
problem imaginable seemed to
surface between my wife and
me. It wasn't that our relationship evolved around the dollar, but we were thrust into
financial turmoil. It was hard
not to let the mounting bills
affect our moods and our love
life. Depression crept in, and
further complicated matters.
I found through my experience that who I really was, and
who my wife really was, became buried under all our
problems. I wasn't the same
person as I was when we first

fell in love. Neither was she.
When hard times hit, a spouse
may become disillusioned, and

from the heart
jim jarboe
lose respect for his/her mate.
It's true, money can't buy love,
but it does affect relationships.
Margie Holland of the
Women's Center here on campus makes the following observations:
• "A key to making a relationship work is to respect and
support your friend and encourage him/her to develop.
Prize his/her differences; also
try not to change the person.
Respect who he or she is."
Communication is a major
factor in the breakup of relationships.
After being married three
months I found the woman I
loved seemed to be happier
before we were married. She
told me she had feelings of
being owned, that she felt she
wasnotfree,and wasobligated
to be a "good wife" and act a
certain way. She thought she
had to make sacrifices for me
at the expense of her own
happiness. I love her, yet I was
in the same bind-making sacrifices for her at my expense.
Both men and women seem
to assume they can change
whatever they don't like in
their spouses. But then become
upset when they can't.
Izetta Hunter of the
Women's Center says:
• "I think men and women
need to be friends ... Tell your

partners what your needs are,
don't assume anything."
To paraphrase a famous
poet on the matter of love, if
one really loves something, set
it free. And if it comes back to
you, it is yours forever.
Love can be the answer to
all frustrations, but it also can
beasourceoffrustration, when
a person uses love to dominate
their partner. It destroys the
essence of what love is: the
equal joining of two people.
If the relationship is not

balanced, not equal, problems
are destined to arise. To trap
someone is wrong, it negates
the concept of happiness
through unity.
Hunter says,
• "They need to listen-not
only with their ears, but with
their hearts."
How do you listen with your
heart? By l:>eing sensitive to
what you feel. Things aren't
always how they appear to be.
Be open from the start. Let the
person you love know it, by
giving him/her space to grow.
Honesty is essential. Respect
means trust. Trust is love.

A presentation from LCC Board of
Education candidate Julia Keizur highlighted the Feb. 4 ASLCC Senate meeting.
Also running for the vacant seat on
the board are Robert Hall and Michael
Dubick, who received an ASLCC endorsement for his candidacy at the Jan.
28 Senate meeting.
Keizur, a high school counselor and
teacher in Cottage Grove, said that in
her twenty years of counseling and
teaching, she has worked closely with
LCC.
In regards to Ballot Measure 5, she
said, "One of my major concerns is that
whatever has to happen at Lane be
done with a cooperative and full input
of everyone involved, and that certainly
includes students," she said.
Keizur's candidacy marks her first

st res

attempt at a political office. She said she
recognizes that some lobbying in reS?.>nse to Measure 5 will have to occur
on the state level, and she said that she
is prepared to deal with that action as a
board member.
Responding to ASLCCSenator Bette
Dorris' questioning her support of a
student union building on campus,
Keizur said, "The student body at Lane
is so diverse that anything you can do
to bring them together, I think, would
be a good thing."
Keizur did not ask for an endorsement from the Senate.
Other business:

• The Senate appointed three new
ASLCC Senators: Tony Rice, Brandon
Cox, and Robert Aines.
Rice, a native Alnerican, is a member of the Ethnic Diversity Task Force.
Cox said that among his goals is
advocating child care on campus.
Ames, who filled the high school

completion senator post, said people in
that program are interested in what
happens in student government.
• The Senate agreed to table a proposal submitted by Senator Dan Christensen asking for ASLCC to make a
statement on the war in the Persian
Gulf. Upon deciding whether to make
a statement, Christensen proposed a
work session to decide on the exact
content of the statement.
The University of Oregon's student
government, ASUO, has issued a statementofopposition to military action in
the region proposing "the most rapid
means possible of return for all troops."
Christensen supports a statement similar to ASUO's.
• Vice President Maya Thomas reported that she has been working with
Cultural Director Trish Rosewood and
the student club War Is Not The Answer (WINTA) to organize a Feb. 27
workshop to educate people about the

gulf crisis. She also said that Student
Resource Center Director Ernie Woodland and student Lafay Floyd are helping her coordinate a Black History
Month event on Feb. 23 involving local
speakers, notably former Cultural Director Rico Perez, and featuring gospel
choirs of local churches.
• In her report, ASLCC Treasurer
Laura Rodgers announced a recycling
lobby day through OSPIRG in Salem
on Feb. 13. She also said that she had
requested information regarding this
year's implementation of delayed financial aid dispersal, including federal
guidelines and LCC's regulations.
Rodgers and Senator Sabrina Panasuck
are planning to circulate petitions requesting that the LCC administration
retract the policy.
• The Senate approved granting an
additional $200 to the Art Department
for the scheduled Art Lecture Series.
The next Senate meeting will be at 3
p.m. on Feb. 11 in the boardroom.

train," Yriarte says.
"In the short term, internalized stress identifies itself in
the form of headaches, colds,
nervousness, irritability, and
pre-mature fatigue," he says,
"all of which take away from
your ability to study and organize your daily routine."
Yriarte recommends a
simple exercise program that

will meet the body's needs and
fit into a busy schedule.
"Find at least 20 minutes
every other day to engage in
some form of aerobic exercise.
This could be brisk walking, or
jogging." He suggests that
people interested in setting up
an exercise program talk with
someone from the Health and
P.E. Department.

• Seeking out help

Students may find that they
are overwhelmed, doing
poorly, or simply falling behind
in their classes. Fear not though,
there are several options.
First, says Counselor Dal
Haverland, students should go
talk with their instructor. "See
what's going on, find out exactly what the situation is."

Students may find, he says that
the problem isn't as bad as it
seemed.
"If the situation is really
bad," he says. "Talk with a
counselor or Student Service
Associate (SSA)."
Haverland suggests that
students who are uncomfortable meeting with the counselors, speak with an SSA.
SSA Jewel Gaston agrees,
saying that peers may seem
more approachable.
"Seek out people who can
help put it into perspective,"
she says.
Friends and family members
are important stress reducers,
says Sandra Ing, director of
Student Health Services.
Other on-campus resources
available for students to reach
out to are Campus Ministries,
the Veteran'sCenter, theMultiCultural Center and the
Women's Center.
• Lightening the course load

Another resort may be simply changing the grade option
in a given course from a letter
grade to a pass/no pass. The
last day for grade option
changes is Feb. 22.
Insome cases, the best solution may be to drop the class.
Although it is past time to re-

ceive any refund for a class that
isdropped,studentshaveunti l

with no grade record.
Before a student drops a
class, however, Haverland
stresses the importance of
communication. "You've got to
get the information straight
from the source. Talking to the
instructor will do it."
• Staying Healthy
Rest, proper diet, managing
stress and exercise are the keys
to keeping healthy, says Ing.
"These are all things people are
tired of hearing about, but
they're important. There isn't
any magic cure," sayslng. "The
individual has to find what
works for him or her."
Especially vital to remaining healthy seems to be getting
adequate sunlight. Getting
outside, even on an overcast
day is essential to staying
healthy. Experts say that reduced exposure to sunlight has
a direct link to depression.
None of these suggestions is
a guarantee that a student will
make it through the end of the
term with a 4.0 GP A, but a balance of these recommendations
should make it easier to survive the term with academic
record, health, and sanity intact.

••.:. . E"xch8riQe·cancelleff,
few students enroll
By Feather Crawford
Torch Staff Writer

The London Quarter, an
international studies program,
has been cancelled for
spring,1991 due to meager
student interest.

Uriited support for troops

photo by Deborah Pickett

On Saturday, Feb. 2, Desert Storm supporters and anti-war protesters united in a show
of support for soldiers in the Middle East, marching from South Eugene High School
to the Eugene Federal Building.

The Oregon Community
College Consortium (OCCC)
decided the student interest in
the program was currently
insufficient to justify its cost.
The OCCC sends two college
instructors to London to teach
the 40 students who must enroll to fulfill the program.
But only 11 students applied
this year, three of whom were
LCC students, and the small
number of participants would
cos·t Oregon Community Colleges too much money.
Mary Forestieri, an LCC
instructor who taught for the
London Quarter in the spring
of 1989, said colleges sending
teachers to London would be
employing them to teach a few
small classes when they could
be working full-time in Oregon.

photo by Deborah Pickett

Classrooms, apartments,
and busses would have been
reserved for Oregon students
which could better serve larger
student groups, says Forestieri.
While there is no link be-

tween the London Quarter's
cancellation and the increasing threat of terrorism, Forestieri is happy LCC is not participating, because of the potential risk to student safety. "If I
were going and it was
cancelled, I would have felt
relief."
Students still interested in
studying in London this spring
have the option to join the
Minnesota Consortium. There
will be no financial aid available and Oregon students will
also have to pay out-of-state
tuition. Those interested and
able can contact Forestieri, ext.
2481 or Virginia DeChaine, ext.
2480.
Robin Breth, an LCC student who planned to study in
London this spring, says London Quarter's cancellation was
a severe disappointment. For
the past eight months she has
worked through vacations,
saving money to supplement
the financial aid she planned
on receiving. She says she
cannot afford to join the Minnesota students, and is frustrated that her lack of wealth
prevents her from enjoying
such an educational experience.
"This tends to affirm my
disillusionment in the educational system," says Breth. "I
would feel more like supporting the pie if I had a piece of it."

Auction highlights Campus Ministry awareness week
by Chris Prather
Torch Staff Writer

_

Where on campus is it possible to get a loan for a
bus pass, pick up a new outfit without spending a
dime, or pitch in to help the environment, and all in
one location?
If the answer escapes you, Campus Ministry's
(CM) Awareness Week should help.
CM Awareness Week takes place Feb. 20-22, and
consists of several different activities.
The purpose of CM's Awareness Week, according
to CM staff member Denyce Ward, is "to make the
LCC community aware of the different services and
resources available through Campus Ministry."
''We want to show what (each program) is, how it
got here, and why it's necessary," explains Marna

Crawford, assistant director of Campus Ministry.
The first day spotlights two of CM' s most visible
services - the Oothing Exchange and the recycling
program.
The Clothing Exchange provides articles of clothing free of charge to the people of LCC, while the
recycling program collects, sorts, and bales recyclable
paper arounct campus. Both programs employ workstudy students.
The second day provides students with the opportunity to meet and talk with representatives from
different religious organizations- CM' s main function.
Says Ward, "Our goal is to make people aware of
interdenominational resources available to them ...
that we're not centered on just one faith."

Adds Crawford, "In light of the current world
situation, we feel that it's a time for unity."
Friday's activities include an auction of "unique"
goods and services, provided by the LCC community
and selected area businesses, according to Crawford.
She currently chooses not to reveal the i terns to be

event. Sid Voorhees, owner of the Eugene Planing

Concert duet pulls together county's cultural fibres
by Amanda Martin
Torch Staff Writer

Bob Weir and Rob Wasserman
blended acoustic art and theatrical
finesse last Thursday night at the
Eugene Hilton, pulling together the rich
and exotic cultural fibres of Lane
County. Indeed, it was an evening that
brought out the soul and spirit of
entertainment.
Opening the show were Doug
Scheuerell on tabla drums, and sword
swallower and fire eater Moz Wright of
Oregon Country Fair fame. They
• pleased and teased the audience,
combining rhythm, humor and
pyrotechnic precision, making ready
for the main event.
Weir, a 24-year-performer with the
Greatfu l Dead band, alonb with
Wasserman - a premier acoustic bass
player - proved to all in attendance
that acoustic music and song can be
spicy and hot to the taste. "City Girls"
and "You Gimme Fever" roused the
assorted tied-d7ed and tweed coat
crowd to dance in their seats.
Weir en tranced them with his boyish
smile and seductive interpretation.
Dressed in lavender and black, he
moved about like an elfin minstrel.
Wassermanfilled theroomwithadeep,

moody vibration as he delivered the
complete sound that only an acoustic
bass can. His tall, commanding figure
was awesome against the backdrop of
a Middle Kingdom Forest.
According to "Downtown Deb"
Trist, host of KLCX 104.7's Sunday
night "Dead Air'' show, the duo used
the kind of sound system the Greatfu]

Dead likes to use (which included topof-the-line Meyers Speakers), giving
Weir and Wasserman's acoustic duet a
much richer sound.
Trist noted that Producer Jason
Miller and the U of O Cultural Forum
took extra care in obtaining the sound
system,ensuringstate-of-the-artquality
for the Eugene show.

"The chemistry really worked for
the two of them. The acoustic sound
made it a much more powerful
performance. Seeing them in a small
place made it special," she said.
While the sound systems at other
concerts I have attended were merely
average, thefildelityof this concert was
of a noticeably higher standard. Diehard Greatful Dead fans pride
themselves in being well-versed about
the Dead's renowned sound systems.
Previous community concerns about
unruly crowds were unfounded, as
concert goers - young and not-soyoung- from many diverse cultural
backgrounds peacefully enjoyed the
performance.
(The U of O administration
announced last fall that it would no
longer sponsor Greatful Dead concerts
at Au tzen Stadium because of concerns
about possible drug abuse.)
The concert brought out the
professionalism in everyone involved
in the production. Since so many fans
of the Greatful Dead and their esteemed
colleagues, such as Wasserman, reside
in and around Lane County, it seems
appropriate that the U of O Cultural
Forum welcome future, well-organized,
and culturally enjoyable events such
as this to the area.

Creativity a trademark for Eu{Jen_
e 's Onomatopoeia
by Luke Strahota
Torch Staff Writer

Onomatopoeia has played
in some pretty strange places,
butthebeautyofindustrialmusic is that it can be played
anywhere by using the environment or a close electrical
outlet.
On its "Total Mobility" mini
tour, the band played an antiblues set in front of Taylors at
the U of O, and then went to
Safeway to compose a song
played on the coffee grinders.
Then they plugged amplifiers
into an outlet in the fruit and
vegetable section and played.
Last on the tour was a show
at the Hult Center. Considering the group played in the
bathroom and the show was
short (they didn't want to get
kicked out), the band feels
proud because it can honestly

say it_played the Hult Center.
Industrial music uses nonconventional instruments and
various electronic devices. It's
not new, but it is still unconventional music.
•
Arlan Schwarzbauer, the
group's drummer, says one of
the earliest industrial songs
was composed by a Russian
peasant in the early 1920s,
when he conducted a whole
orchestta of factory whistles.
"Industrial has been going on
for years, whether we knew it
or not," adds Schwarzbauer.
To describe Onomatopoeia
is very difficult because of the
variety of sounds band members pour into their music, but
if you could, imagine music
sculpted together by a harp,
noise generators, drum machines, acoustic and electric
guitars, oven racks, drones,
bells, and bass lines held to-

gether with a sheet of static
and electrical feed back.
"Our name fits our music
best because the only way to
describe our music is to hear
it," says member Bob Wretch.
Other members include Karine Baricklow on Harp, Vince
(no last name) on bass, and
Allen Beausoleil on guitar.
Aside from their main instruments, most members also
play noise makers; ranging
from simple to ingenious, including saw blades, electronic
kitchen appliances, springs,
sheet metal, and chains.
One of the band's more
uniqu~ instruments is a plastic
flute recorder which the band
has connected to a vacuum
cleaner which blows out air, its
actually an electric bag-pipe.
"The bone machine," which
is made of tiny bones hanging
from a larger bone and is connected to a cooking rotisserie,
turns the dangling bones over
an oven rack.
A new addition to the bands
collection of noise makers is an
electric globe. It's a globe with
an electric sensor that makes a
cracking noise when hit.

"At our last show in Portland, Karine would come out
·during the anti-war songs and
punch the Middle East. It
sounded like there was an explosion in the theater," explains
Schwarzbauer.
Although Onomatopoeia
has been tagged with the
"industrial" label, the group
members see themselves as
more of an "experimental"
band because industrial music, like other forms of music,
can be cut down into many
different forms.
The definition of industrial
is "no holds barred, play what
you feel," says Schwarzbauer.
"If it comes out okay, then it's
music, and if it doesn't, then
it's noise. But noise is good,
too," he adds.
Although audience members get their share of noise at
an Onomatopoeia show, they
also hear rhythms and sounds
bent with electricity. The show
is more of a musical art production where anything can
happen. Flags burning, dancersinteractingwith the crowd,
televisions and movie screens
showing atomic bombs going

off,.a harp producing grinding
noises, and a lot of crowd feedback are all possibilities in an
Onomatopeia show.
"At one of our shows in
Portland, I hooked up a sample
of gun firing to my guitar, so
whenever I plucked the strings,
it sounded like my guitar was
shooting. I aimed it at the
audience, and by the end of the
song,there were about 20
people laying on the floor, fake
dying," says Beausoleil.
It's been hard for the group
to get shows in Eugene. While
a few shows have been scheduled in commercial venues,
because Eugene is not in tune
to this kind of music, owners of
bars and performing halls think
people won't show up. Until
Onomatopoeia gets more
commercial shows, they would
like to start performing again
in the basements of people's
homes. Since Eugene has virtually no places for people
under 21 to listen to music, this
would open doors for other up
and coming bands.
"We used to play a lot of
basement parties when we
started out because when
you're in a basement, and you
hear these strange sounds, it's
a lot different than when you're
at a theater or concert hall. It's
just a better atmosphere," said
Wretch.
Onomatopoeia envisions
playing at Stonehenge with 10
foot high Marshal amplifiers
in the future. For now they'd
like to play more shows around
Eugene and Portland, eventually going on tour.
If you'd like to check out
what industrial music has to
offer, Schwarzbauer hosts a
two hour show on 91.9 KRVM,
every Sunday night from midnight to 2 a.m.

Fonner LCC graduate
gives slide lecture
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Entertainment Editor

His accomplishments range from winning the Creative Enhancement Award from the Pittsburgh Foundation to exhibiting
his paintings in galleries across the United States, and internationally. He is a former graduate of LCC, and currently sits on the
faculty at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania.
His name is Jim Denney, and he will share his paintings with
LCC students and the public on Monday, Feb. 11, at 1 p.m. in
Forum 308.
.Denney is a native of the Pacific Northwest and a former
graduateofLCC.FromhispostinPittsburgh,hehasretume d to
Oregon each summer to work for the U.S. Forest service for 12
years.
"I come from a logging family," he says. Despite this background, he disagrees strongly with the forest service's policy to
allow timber companies to clear cut the forests. He cites the
legacy of Pennsylvania's strip mined lands as a basis for his
feelings concerning clear cutting in the Northwest.
He says his work addresses environmental issues. The paintings are mainly landscapes, which are described in an interview
with the Pittsburgh Press as "subtle evocations of an environment
under siege."
Denney says his work is also influenced by the Hudson river
painters from the mid-19th century, such as Frederick Church. In
comparing the themes in those paintings with his own, he says
it "creates an interesting tension."
In the lecture, he will show slides of paintings from his shows
in New York, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland, in addition to some of
his new works. The environmental motivation, he says, will
definitely be part of the lecture. "I can't help but talk about the
things that motivate the work," he says.
"It's very high quality painting that deals with ecological issues," says Gallery Director and Art Instructor Harold Hoy.
The slide lecture is sponsored by ASLCC.

Art student wins poster contest
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Entertainment Editor

LCC Graphic Arts student WendyCoyle designed
her way into $100 last week
when she submitted the
winning design for the
poster search for the Performing Arts Faculty Dance
Concert"Resolutions," taking place March 8 and 9.
"(The poster concept)
was very well conceived,"
says Performing Arts Publicist Myrna Seifert of the
winning design.
Seifert, along with dance
instructor Mary Seeriter, approached Graphic Design
Instructor Thomas Rubick
about the possibility of a
contest among his advanced
design students to create a
poster that would project the
dance concert theme. Seeriter described to the class
the concept she was looking
for, and showed a video of
the concert. The students
then set about putting ideas
to paper.
The winner was to receive$100 for camera ready
copy, says Seifert. The
money comes from the
production
concert's
budget, which is supported
by ticket sales.

Graphic Arts Student Wendy Coyle displays her winning
design in the poster contest forthe Faculty Arts Concert,
"Resolutions," coming March 8 and 9.

"It's very simple and·
graphic," says Rubick of
Coyle's design. "Graphically, it's very strong." The
poster reads well from a
distance, and portrays the
theme of theconcert,hesays.
Rubick says the contest
provided a good opportu-

nityforhisstudentstowork
with a client.
"In this case, it was very
pleasurable," he says.
"All of the designs were

Readings to celebrate·Valentine's
poetry's theme: men,_women
by Mary Browning
Torch Associate Editor

Spontaneity is the motif for a poetry reading
celebrating St. Valentine's Day.
Sponsored by Denali, LCC's literary and art
magazine, "Men and Women: The Poetry of
Give and Take" will take place Wednesday,
Feb.13 from3 p.m. to4 p.m. in Center 449. The
entertainment will include readings of original
and well-known poetic work. .
The inspiration for the event belongs to Denali Literary Ad visor Peter Jensen. "I wanted to
celebrate St. Valentine's Day,and I wanted to do
it with humor," says Jensen, who will be reading his own poetry. The theme of the celebration, says Jensen, is love.
FreelancewriterLeeCrawleyKirkand What's
Happening Contributions Editor Dave Johnson
-who will also be reading their own worksand LCC Speech Instructor and actress Jacquie

McClure will join Jensen on Wednesday.
Jensen describes the works as including
several different emotions, from sad to funny,
but all about men, women, and love. McClure
agrees, but adds that not all the pieces will
necessarily be romantic or serious. "Some of my
stuff tends to a little raunchy."
The readers haven't formally selected the
works they intend to read. "We tried to find
similar themes in the work," says Jensen, ''butl
know we will surprise each other."
The surprise, he says, will come from the
interactive aspects of the performance, when
one of the readers comes up with an unexpected
selection and the next reader will need to choose
a piece to carry on the altered theme.
McClure says one reason she agreed to be
part of the reading was because she's very
supportive of LCC. "Community Colleges don't
always have a lot to offer students. (It's important) that there be activities that students can
attend, and feel part of a college community."

Timberwomen towers cut down Titans 102-74
by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

The Umpqua Community College
women's basketball team jumped out
to an early lead and used its superior
heightadvantagetodefeatLCC'sTitans
102-74 in a Northwest Athletic
Association of Community Colleges
(NW AACC) conference game on Feb.
6.
The Timberwomen, who had only
three players smaller than LCC's tallest
player, scored the first ten points of the
game and never looked back.
The Titans scored their first bucket
on a three-pointer by freshman Luci
Cornutt to reduce Umpqua's lead to
10-3, but never got any closer.
After slowly building their lead up
to eleven points, midway through the
first half, the Timberwomen went on a
28-12 run to increase their lead to 52-25
at the close of the period.
The Timberwomen passed inside
effectively and controlled the boards in
the first half, and seemingly scored
layups at will against the smaller and
less-agressive Titans.
'We didn't play with much intensity
and we didn't come to play," said Head
Coach Dave Loos. 'We played better in
the second half but we couldn't get
back into the game."
In the second half, the Titans
recovered from their early-game
shooting woes, but Umpqua matched
them basket for basket and the Titans
were unable to cut into the
Timberwomen's lead.
Former North Eugene star Kelli

Pierce scored 26 points for Umpqua CC
and tied teammate Melanie Kelly with
a game-leading 13 rebounds.
The Timberwomen dominated the
boards, ou trebounding LCC 59-20, and
shot a blistering 66 percent from the
field.
J(elli Stonelake led LCC with 19

points. Luci Cornutt added 16 points
and Carrie Redifer 14 for the 9-14 Titans.
LCC assistant women's coach Ron
Richards said the Titans still have an
opportunity to make the playoffs.
"If we can win three of our next four,
we would be in a good position (to
maketheNWAACCplayoffs). We just

have to play hard and cut down on our
mistakes."
The Titans, who dropped to 3-8 in
conferenceplay, will travel to Portland
CC for a game on Feb. 9. LCC' s next,
and final, home game will be on Feb. 13
against Linn-Benton CC.
In other developments, Cathi
Reisbeck, a Titan point guard, quit the
team early during the first half of the
Feb. 2 game against Chemeketa CC.
Coach Loos said Reisbeck had not
been attending pre-game shooting
warrn-upsandhadbeenlatetopra(:tices
due to her off-campus employment.
"She started the game on the bench.
When I asked her to go in during the
first period, she said she didn't want to
play anymore, and left the court."
Reisbeck could not be reached for a
statement.

Titan players prepare to rebound Umpqua CC three-point attempt during Feb. 6, game. .

Newton

Torch Staff Writer
Erin Cowan scored 22 points, had 13 assists and three rebounds
to lead Umpqua Community College to a 75-59 victory over LCC
in a Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges
conference game on Feb. 6.
The host Titans took an early 11-10 lead, but Umpqua CC
went on an 18-2 scoring binge to lead 28-13 with 8:49 left in the
first half.
The Timbermen hit on five of 10 three-pointers in the period,
and increased their lead to44-26 at the half-time buzzer.
The Titans outscored Umpqua in the second half but it was a
case of too little and too late.
"I thought we played real well," said Titan Coach Dale Bates,
"We just couldn't catch up to them."
"We tried to make some good shots in an effort to catch up, but
their defense was hard to get through."
LCC was only able to hit on 33 percent of its shots from the
field, 29 percent in the second half, while the Timbermen made
half of their field goal attempts for the game.
Sam Thompson turned in a solid game for the Titans, who are
now 2-9 in NWAACC play, scoring 20 points and taking nine off
the boards. Derek Barnhurst added 17 points and six rebounds
forLCC.
The 10-12 Titans play their next game on the road against
•Portland CC on Feb. 9.
On Feb. 13, the Titans and LCC's athletic department would
like to cordially invite everyone in the community to attend a
farewell celebration for Coach Bates, who is retiring at the end of
the season after 18 years as Titan Coach.
Admission to the Feb. 13 game against Linn-Benton CC will
be free to the public.

Dollars dwindle and losses mount for LCC coaching staff
The last time an LCCathletic
team had a winning record
really wasn't five years ago.
Sometimes it just seems like it.
In fact, last spring
(1990),Coach Bob Foster's
men's baseball team had a
winning record, just barely.
However, this year has beer
a nightmare for fans of LCC' s
athletic teams.
• The men's cross country
team was undermanned most
of the year. In only a few meets,
were the coaches able to muster
enough bodies to field a
complete team.
• The women's cross
country team consisted of one
person, Brandi Allen, and she
cou~dn't compete in either the
regionals or the conference
finals because she was
attending the sickbed of a loved
one.
• The women's basketball
team seemed headed for a
season of promise, but wound
up losing four top recruits to
either personal problems or the
inability of LCC to offer
adequate athletic scholarships.
• The men's basketball team
had four players declared
ineligible for failing to meet
academic
requirements.
Another player was declared
administratively ineligible by
the Northwest Athletic
Association of Community
Colleges
(NW AACC)
l

conference. The big problem
here is that four of the five were
back-court players.
At a four-year university,
this losing scenario would
probably cost the athletic
director his job and bring about
the firing of a majority of the
coaching staff.
Here at LCC, however, the
school administrators should
be begging Athletic Director
Bob Foster and all of his coaches
to stay.
The problem at LCC is not a
matter of winning or losing
games. Rather, the problem is
attracting quality athletes and
keeping good coaches. This
takes money, but LCC has
none.
The LCC Board ofEducation
has unofficially declared that
no athletic scholarships or
tuition waivers will be offered
to people from outside the
district because of limited
funds. The number of tuition
waivers LCC coaches can offer
to incoming athletes pales in
comparison to those available
to coaches at other NWAACC
schools.
Forexample,becausethere
is little money to attract
prospective athletes, men's
head coach Dale Bates, is only
able to attract basketball
players who have no financial
need (a rarity in a college
student); players who want to

stay close to home; or those
who were not offered
scholarships elsewhere. In

commentary
by robert catalano
genetics, this would be called
limiting the gene pool; in
athletics, its called losing your
shirt.
Bates not only has to coach
and recruit, he also has to plan
fundraisers to buy equipment
for the team. If that weren't
enough he has to make sure his
players have enough money to
buy their own tennis shoes
because LCC does not provide
them.
Frustrated, Bates has
decided to retire at the end of
the season.
The men's and women's
cross country teams have
changed coaches twice in the
last two years because of many
of the same problems Bates has
faced.

administers the cross country
teams, but also coaches both
the men's and women's track
teams.
Women's basketball coach
Dave Loos lost two prize
recruits to Northern Idaho
College this past fall because
he couldn't offer them a full
scholarship or tuition waivers
for two years. These two
players happened to be tall and
the Titans lack of height has
caused problems for LCC all
year. The Titans don't have a
player over 5'8" and other
teams have been beating them
inside and off the boards with
great frequency.
One begins to wonder if
Coaches Bates, Callaway, and
Loos, have been pulling their
hair out in frustration, trying
to build winning teams with
few or no resources available.
Foster has had to juggle the
problems of a dissatisfied and
frustratedcoachingstaff,anda
lack of money, and his own job
of coaching LCC' s baseball
team. He may also have to face
deciding which sports will be
cut if the school's financial

problems make such a move
necessary. He's done all this,
kept his hair, and won, too. A
remarkable job, to say the least.
The prospect of havingwinning athletic teams at LCC
in thefuturemaynotbebright.
However, fans can't place the
blame upon the athletic
director or anyone else in his
department.
Blame Measure 5. Or blame
the school administrators for
not allocating more money to
athletics (money which,
admittedly, they don't have).
But don't blame Foster and his
coaching staff. LCC is lucky
they've stayed around this
long.

script, and the number of courses completed as
compared to courses in which students enrolled.
The number of courses completed during a single
term, Buch says, will not be a factor in determining if
admission is granted. He says the U of O Admissions
staff is highly aware of the fact that students have
other priorities they must meet, such as work and
family commitments.
"We don't try and second guess how many courses
are taken (during a specific term)," says Buch.
The U of O application deadline for transfer students is May 15 for admission into fall term. Resident
transfer students need to carry a minimum GP A of
2.25 to be eligible for admission, while non-residents
must carry a minimum GPA of 2.5.
The closure of the U of O's College of Human
Development and Performance will mean the elimination of a physical education program that ranks in
the top five in the nation.
LCC Health and PE Counselor Dave Roof says he
is seeing a number of students who are concerned
about their options. "Their only choice," Roof says,

"is to change their plans." He says he doesn't expect
students he's advised to change majors, but rather
consider another institution to attend.
"I think when the smoke clears and settles ...
whatever institution (within the state) still has a P.E.
major will have a quality program," says Roof.
Peggy Marston, Cooperative Work Experience
education coordinator, says the university's proposed
elimination of education programs will have a severe
impact on transfer students planning to major in
education - both in terms of time and expenses.
Like Roof, she expects students to consider alternative institutions offering education programs.
Many of the students she works with are older and
have families established in the area. ''They can't just
pick up and move," says Marston.
Consequently, Marston says, these students will
be forced to commute approximately 60 miles to
Western Oregon in Monmouth.
Says LCC student Judith Kehoe, an elementary
education major, "My family knows they're going to
have to go through an adjust~ent."

mitted to finding a solution for
meeting childcare needs oncampus. She says that she was
unable to obtain on-campus
care for her own child.
"We had to be separated,"
saysRosewood. 'When you get
separated from your children,
you sort of drift away. It can be
pretty devastating."
Rosewood, who is also on
the Childcare Task Force, says
that she was surprised at how
many young women attending LCC have children.
She feels itis imperative that
LCC allocate funding for meeting on-campus needs, including affordability.
"The oroblem here in the
past wa; an administration

who didn't want or have to
really deal withchildq1re. Now
with the work that we have
done, they'regoingtohaveto,"
she comments.
Andrews says student accessible care of(-campus also
needs to be researched.
"The whole county needs to
be considered in a case like
this," he says. Obtaining adequate child-care is a problem
felt by many in the community, and not just students, he
says.
A system has to be created
that will be diversified enough
to satisfy everyone's needs,"
says Andrews. In his latest
report, he states, "Undimensional solutions are not viable."

Shopping for colleges

Nineteen colleges and universities assembled in the cafeteria on Thursday, Feb. 7,
allowing students a chance to "go shopping" for prospective institutions to transfer to,
according to Director of Counseling John Winquist.

Araujo's tuition for one term
would be made by those unpaid Senators.
ASLCC has been fortunate
in being able to fill Araujo's
vacant post with an equally
sensitive and also ethnic
woman, Maya Thomas. Maya
performs so many roles well
that saying where her strongest talents lie would be like
judging a characterization by
the content of the script.
Regarding Sione, she undoubtedly influenced Omogrosso's election with her
magnanimous personality. She
also brought together the international students on campus. Her friends here were as
diverse as the entire composition of the college - from
France, Japan, Mexico, the
Middle East, and yes, the U.S.
The U.S. Consulates' decision to deny her student visa
ranks with the perverted policy of the U.S. telling Brazil to
stop cutting the Amazon while
having clear cut most of its own
forests already.
The U.S. refuses to loan
Brazil money for more
ecological development, supposedly because the country
has nuclear weapons. Yet Vice
President Quayle says that our
government will not rule out
using nuclear weapons on Iraq
if the country uses its chemical
stockpile.

Kehoe, who had been planning to attend the U of
0, is now strongly considering commuting to Western, which she says will mean additional expenses in
terms of travel expenses and child care for her three
children.
Melvina Quayle, who has a bachelors degree in
music from the U of 0, had also planned to attend the
university to obtain ner teaching credentials. She is
attending LCC to complete academic requirements
set by the U of O for obtaining a teacher's certificate
-academics that were not required for her degree in
music.
"I was targeting all my classes for (the U of O's)
program," she says.
To obfain her certificate from Western, Quayle
says, would probably take her an additional two
years because of the different academic credits required by Western.
And like, many transfer students, she is unsure of
just what she will now do.
"I haven't really decided if I'm going to follow up
(on attending Western)," Quayle says.

February 8, 1991

against a country that has none
and is not threatening our survival as a nation would alienate our allies and make about
as much sense as denying a
student visa to Sione.
The U.S. Consulate's basis
for this denial was that they
feared she wished to emigrate
to the U.S. To those of us who
know her, this logic is absurd.
Although Sione won many
friends and allies while in this
country, she was often exceedingly homesick for the open,
loving and supportive culture
of Bahia, her homeland. Culture shock was why she returned to Brazil for the summer.
ToSione,oursociety places
more emphasis on alienating
people from each other with
diaphanous competition than
with affirming the worth of
each individual with nurturing compassion.
I applaud ASLCC's decision
to refrain from spending approximately $4,000 on a trip to
Washington D.C. like last
year's student government
took, with little return.
If Sione Araujo does return,
the thousand or so dollars that
ASLCC may vote to direct to
her out-of-nation tuition for a
term could come out of the
savings generated from the
cancelled trip to the denizens
of the Bush-league politicos. It
could also be seen as a protest

against perverted north-south
and east-west foreign policy
that considers human lives on
separate sides of borders to be
of unequal value and bombable
into submission. Next time,

Packaging
piles up
To the Editor:
Oregonians produce an
average of four pounds of garbage per day!
How many trips to the
dumpster do you make each
week? Of that garbage, how
much is just packaging?
Surprisingly, packaging is
the largest part of the garbage.
It makes up half of the garbage
going into the landfills. This
wasteful packaging is a major
contribution to the dioxiI)s polluting our environment. They
are caused by the incineration
of garbage and are the most
poisonous substance synthesized. It would also be in our
best interests to try and lessen
the amount of waste that collects in our landfills because
they pollute the environment
with toxic chemicals such as
arsenic, cyanide and others
contained within the garbage

dumped there.
These are unnecessary costs
placed on ourselves as well as
our environment, and could
easily be avoided by some new
recycling legislation such as
requiring manufacturers to
make packaging that is reusable, recyclable, and made from
recycled materials. Someother
proposals are to expand the
bottle bill to include wine
bottles, liquor bottles, juice
bottles, and wine cooler bottles.
Another is to make recycling
easier for the consumer by
providing recycling containers
and having them collected each
week.
Your opinion doesn't make
a difference if you don't use it
to persuade our legislature to
vote accordingly. Please take a
stand and participate in the
lobbying on Feb. 13 and/or
write a letter supporting these
proposals.

Peace dividend
rises from ash
To the Editor,
We've heard a lot in the past
year about something called
the "peace dividend." As I
understand it, this mythical
marvel was to arise out of the
ashes from the Departrnen t of
Defense (DOD) and like the

phoenix, herald the beginning
of a new era of increased social
spending. The phoenix is an
illusion. So too is thepeacedividend. In Fiscal Year (FY) '91
the bOD budget is projected
around 286 billion. The deficit
for FY '91 is projected at around
$310 billion. If we were to fire
all 2 million plus active duty
mill tary personnel, the reserve
and the national guard, all
DOD civilian employees, and
stop paying military retirees,
we would still have a budget of
around $30 Billion.
But this is a year of recession, right? Past budget deficits have been in the .$100 to
$180 billion. With a 50 percent
cut in defense spending (something not impossible to achieve
if the proper treaties are in
place) we only break even,
maybe. Again, no peace dividend in sight. I believe the electorate is deluding itself with
the help of some well meaning
media types and elected representatives. Our problem is we
want it all, the social programs
and the defense, but without
paying for it. Thus the illusion
of the peace dividend: it makes
our budget problems go away
without our facing the hard
choices.
What happens when the illusion finally fades? Reality?
Of course not.
