After 18 years,
Bates era ends
by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

The Dale Bates story at Lane Community College
beganwithoutfanfarein 1973andendedFeb.13, 1991, in
a night of tribute to a man who gave 18 years of his life to
LCC basketball. Bates has done much more than just
coach basketball, though. He has helped mold young
men into good citizens.
Bates, who will coach his last game on Saturday, Feb
16. at Mt. Hood CC, was honored by former players and
fellow coaches in a ceremony before a men's basketball
game between LCC and Linn-Benton CC.
Bates was presented
with a plaque, thanking
him for his many
successful
years
coaching the Titans, by
LCC President Jerry
Moskus.
Athletic
director Bob Foster
praised Bates for his
com mi tmen t to the
school and his devotion
to his players.
It
was
also
announced that Bates
will be named to the
Northwest Athletic
Association
of Dale Bates, 1975
Community Colleges
(NWAACC) Hall of Fame later this year.
Bates' wife, C.B. (Clara Belle), his four children and
grandchildren were also present.
People who have come into contact with Bates during
his reign at LCC speak highly of him and the characteristics
they mention most often are the fairness and dedication
he shows his players.
"Coach Bates was always fair to my son," said Sharon
Surmeier, mother of deceased former Titan player Mike
Surmeier. "He was more than a coach; he was also their
(his players') counselor. He really cared how they did in
school and what happened in their lives off the court."
''When I took over as athletic director (a position Bates
held for three years), he made the transition much easier,"
said Foster. "I've learned a lot from him and I really hate

Though she didn't plan to do so, Shelly Dannen was forced to leave her twin daughters
behind during an escape from Kuwait after the Aug. 2 Iraqi invasion. This photo of the three
of them was taken only a week before Dannen fled to Saudi Arabia.

Student flees Iraqi invasion
by Chris Prather
Torch Staff Writer

It started out as a normal day for her. She
was preparing for a day at the beach with her
twin daughters when the phone rang. It was a
friend, who said, "Don't go out! The Iraqis are
here!"
LCC student Shelly Dannen was living in
Rumathiya,Kuwaitwheniraqi troops invaded
the tiny Persian Guif kingdom on Aug. 2.
A Eugene resident for most of her life,

Dannen first moved to Kuwait in 1984 when
she married a Kuwaiti citizen. She had registered to begin classes at Kuwait University
last September, with the intent to study Arabic.
Her five-year-old twin daughters are still in
Kuwait with their father. She hasn't heard
from her ex-husband and daughters in a month
and a half, and the information she has received has been second or third hand. Consequently, she fears that they may not be alive.

Transfer students have options despite cuts
by Devan C. Wilson
Torch Editor

Editor's note:This is the third and
final installment in a series examining
the proposed program cu ts at the University of Oregon and other state colleges, and their impact on transfer students. Theproposed cuts are in response
to Ballot Measure 5, the property tax
limitation approved by voters last
spring.
When Oregon state colleges and
universities began announcing proposed program cu ts during the past
few weeks, many community college transfer students were caught

off guard. However, LCC's Counseling Department ad vises students
to consider new options.
John Winquist, director of counseling, says students need not panic.
Though most transfer students
affected by the proposed cu ts will
be forced to alter their plans, there
are ways that students can still reach
their original career goal.
Affected students have two basic
choices,accordingto Winquist: shift
intended institutions to transfer to,
or shift to majors that will lead to the
same career goal.
"Most community college transfer students can change to a differ-

Increase personal
AIDS awareness

This editorial., concerning AIDS, is directly related to

Valentine's Day;a day encompassed wtthemotionsof love

and faithfulness. Encompassed within love and faithfulnes., is protecting fhe ones you love. Encompassed Within
protecting loved ones is protecting yourself.
The first step in protecting yourself and your loved ones
is being aware that you are indeed at risk.
What, me worry?#
This quote, commonly attributed. to Mad Magazine's
infamous coverboy,Alfred E. Nueman, is familar to many.
The same quote, however, can be equally attributed to
many Oregon and Lane County residents when discussing

'

AIDS.

-

With AIDS, however, we are all at risk to some extent,
and with a virus that leaves the body powerless to fight
. ..
back,. this risk should be highlyregarded. .
According to statistics provided by Student Health Director Sandra Ing, AIDS cases in Oregon have been on a
steady incline since 1981, tapering off slightly in 1990. Total
cases since 1981 number 1,026, with a high of 259 cases in
1989. Fifty~nine percent of Oregon cases have ended in
death for, the inflicted. That percentage will ultimately
reach 100.
Jn addition, Oregon ranks in the top 20 on a national level
in AIDS prevalence, with 359.5 cases per million.
Lane County accounts for 16 percent of the state's AIDS
cases, ranking fourth behind Multnomah, Gillham, and
Wasco Counties.
Thoughlngisnotwi Hingtodiscloseif she's aware of an
LCC student who is HIV positive, she does . say that in a

would not be true.
During' the mid to late '80s, AIDS awareness swept
through the country much like the virus is currently sweep.
ing through the inner city ghettos.
But awareness, both throughout the country and within
this region, has been on a steady decline. Rack it up to
overkill-the media has shifted its attention to other topics,
such as savings and loan failures, and more recently, the
crisis in the Middle East.
Consequently, with a high proportion of current AIDS
cases occurring within the inner city population, and media
coverage scaled back, many Oregon and Lane County
residents are indeed saying to themselves, " 'What; me
worry?' I'm not at risk.''
AIDS is not just a sexually transmitted disease. It can be
acquired from a variety of sources. Dental personnel, health
care workers, barbers,manicurists, firefighters,police, and
tattoo artists are all at risk. Exposure to these people puts
you at risk.
And after all, AIDS does not discriminate. It kills everyone with an equal efficiency rate.
This Valentine's Day, give the gift of renewed AIDS
awareness to yourself and those you love. You may very
well be giving the gift of life.

Anyone who has ever been lost in the great
paper mountain, or chewed up in the slowgrinding wheels of government bureaucracy,
knows the meaning of frustration and "biting
the bullet."
If the rules and regulations weren't enough
to overcome, there is also a never-ending stream
of contrary interpretations of these same rules
and regulations - often within the same governmental agency.
At the end of this seemingly incomprehensible legal trail sits the bureaucrat. Without the
help of the bureaucrat, the paper mountain can
never be scaled and the wheels won't get
greased.
Many students applying for financial aid at
Oregon colleges and universities must travel
up this paper mountain.
Rules change every time a new administration takes office in Washington, D. C., or when
Congress confirms a new Secretary of Education.
One set of rules states that each educational
mstitution needs to insure that students applying for and receiving financial aid are actually
enrolled and attending classes.
If a school is not in compliance with these
rules, the government can force the school to
pay back a portion of monies disbursed to students who enrolled, received money, yet did
not attend classes.
Financial aid directors in Oregon's colleges
and universities interpret these rules differently.
At LCC, students who receive financial aid
can register for classes and acquire the necessary books on credit, through the school's accounting department, against the monies they
are to receive from various financial aid programs at the beginning of each term.
However, the Financial Aid Office delays
disbursement of cash awards until the end of
the second week of classes.
Linda Waddell, LCC Financial Aid director,
says this delay is necessary to insure that eligible students are truly attending classes. Once

The Torch

To the Editor:
Regarding the Torch editorial of Feb. 1, 1991 criticizing
the ASLCC Senate: The editorial states, regarding the endorsement of Mike Dubick,
.. we question the fact that the
process was not open to all
qualified candidates before an
endorsement was awarded."
In fact, the process was and is
open to all qualified candidates. The common practice is
not for potential endorsers to
seek out candidates. Rather it
is the burden of candidates to
seek endorsements. This is an
important part of the political
process, and one of a number
of reasons for our endorsement

instructors confirm attendance, the school is in
compliance with government regulations.
Before I spoke with Waddell backinNovember, I called a total of 26 community colleges or
four-year schools throughout Washington,
Oregon and California. The results were enlightening.
• At the time, LCC was one of three schools
delaying disbursement of cash awards until at
least the second week of school.
Most of the schools allowed the students to
receive money within the first week of school.
When I spoke with Waddell about my findings, she said her policy was based on "sound
fiscal compliance with government regulations." ·

commentary

by robert catalano
She further stated financial aid programs
were not designed to be the only means of
support for recipients. Students are expected to
provide some financial support of their own to
the program.
When I asked why other schools seemed
more sympathetic to earlier disbursement of
cash awards, she replied that the mission of her
office is to make sure that LCC complies with
government regulations while meeting the
needs of students.
I never could pin her down to an answer on
the subject which was devoid of the word
regulation."
Even with the scaling of the paperwork
mountain and the wheels of regulations greased
with a wide range of interpretations, there is
still the bureaucrat at the end of the trail.
Students should be able to receive money
during the first week of school. A mountain to
climb and a maze to travel should be obstacles
enough.
Once government regulations are complied
with, forcing students to "bite the bullet" any
further, is unnecessary.

his plan to redistribute responsibilities for two administrative positions. The proposal would create an
additional college vice president, but cut other positions in the Office of Instruction.
If the change gains approval by the LCC Board of
Education, some departments will report to different
department heads.
The proposal most significantly affects Jim Ellison,
vice president for Instruction, and Executive Dean
Larry Warford.
• Moskus proposes to reassign Community Education and Economic Development responsibilities
from Ellison to Warford, who specializes in those two
areas.
• Moskus would allot some of Warford's current
duties to a new assistant, who would be hired at a
later date. Warford would move into a vice president's
role if the proposal goes through.

A major change in the 1991-92 academic calendar that would
implement Martin Luther King Day as a class holiday was
unanimously adopted Wednesday, Feb. 13 at the LCC Board of
Education meeting.
Negotiations will be subject to future discussion between
faculty, classified staff and ad minis tra tors to determine if Martin
Luther King Day would be a working holiday for those three
units.
"It would be a mutual decision," LCC President Jerry Moskus
said.
Moskus said there was strong support for an option that
would make MLK Day a college holiday, giving all units a new
holiday that they did not negotiate for. There were five other
options discussed.

Other business

• LCC's Flight Technology Department announced it will
have three days set aside which will be open to the public for
visitation. Monday, Feb. 26 at 1 p.m., Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. and
Wednesday at 6 p.m. are the times designated for visitation.·
"They're anxious to show off their program," said Jim Ellison,
LCC vice president of Instruction.

meeting, on the program's progress. Eighty-one senior companions are helping about 560 seniors, who otherwise could not get

• A recommendation to sell property no longer needed by the
college to the public was approved without discussion.
• Approval of Lon Mills, of Mills and Associates, as the
board's representative in matters of negotiations between LCC
and the LCC Employees Federation was made with little discussion.

Additional agenda items were Preliminary Budget Planning

However, the university
will evaluate a student based
on the number of course completed in a term as compared
to the number enrolled in.
• Winquist adds that if an
intended major is included in
cuts at a student's college of
choice, they should call the
program department at other
institutions still offering that
major, and attempt to negotiate on program entrance requirements. Most state colleges, he says, will be cooperative in allowing completed

to apply to their own program.
Winquist adds that this
negotiation is often enhanced
by "official intervention," such
as a department counselor's
phone call on behalf of an affected student.
• Students should also consider whether they wish to
attempt to influence the state
legislature as it crafts a final
budget plan for fiscal years
1991-93,accordingto Winquist.
He suggest writing or calling
elected officials and notifying
them of individual concerns.

Opinion altered
with time
To the Editor,
At the first teach-in several
weeks ago, many brave individuals went up to the microphone and voiced their feelings and thoughts on the war
in the Persian Gulf. I did not,
which gives me Ii ttle ornoright
tocommenton what was said:
I will anyway. One man who
spoke said something to the
effect that out of this crisis he
derived some happiness in that
he had never before felt such
unity within his peer group.

Myfnitial reaction was a negativejudgementof a person who
could see the word happy in a
discussion of war. As I look
back without the emotions of
the moment, I think I understand and agree with this
young man. From his manner
and other things he said it was
clear he wasn't happy about
conflict and violence. My initial misunderstanding stems
from the fact that every day I
experience the unity of people
actively working toward a
better world.
In OSPIRG we work on
making the world a better place
and while we aren't as drama tic or controversial as some
of the recent demonstrations,
we feel the comradery and
shared sense of purpose

"There was one close call where I
thought 'This is the end.' They told us to

dozen cars just riddled with bullet holes

for almost 10-minutes and you could hear

tanks filed through the city.

"It's hard for me ... I've been so upset
and so emotionally distraught over the
whole situation. I have the last pictures I
took of my kids about a week before the
invasion, and I wonder if that's the last
picture I'm ever going to have of them. It's
really hard to deal with."
Dannen says she tries to keep as busy as
possible by taking 17 credit hours this term.
But the separation from her daughters
weighs heavily on her mind.

"The people who ran the TV and radio
stations were calling out in Arabic and
English 'Please, anybody, come and help
us!'"
She says by the second day, the Iraqis
had taken over the radio stations, halted
the publication of the newspapers, and
sliced telephone wires, cutting off the
Kuwaitis from the rest of the world.
Everywhere you turned, Dannen says,
Iraqi troops were wreaking destruction.
"When you drove by on the freeway, you

Iraqi soldiers, according to Dannen,

if she can, she will take her children out of
Kuwait, and return to the states.
"But at this point, none of us who are
out (of Kuwait) have any way of knowing
anything."
Dannen has vivid memories of the inva-

ment, or the military. The Iraqis, she says,
took custody of men between theagesof15
and 45, executing some, holding others as
prisoners of war.
Water and food supplies were cut off in
some neighborhoods and medical care was
virtually unobtainable, causing many
people to flee to Saudi Arabia.
"We heard rumors mixed with truth
about the border being open," she says. A
friend, who was a distant member of the
royal family, and Dannen decided to see if
they could get across or not, though it was
Dannen' s intent to return for her daughters after determining if passage was possible. But after crossing the border, Dannen was unable to recross back into Kuwait, forcing her to leave her daughters
behind.
During the trip, they were pulled over
four or five times by Iraqi soldiers.

White Bird to receive ASLCC funding
by John Unger

"There's more cracks, and
they're bigger than we ever
expected," Oritz said. He
pointed out that the clinic
helped 2500 homeless people
to receive health care in 1990.
The clinic has also recently
enlisted the support of 25 local
volunteer doctors.
According to Oritz, the federal government will grant at
least $82,000 to the community
for this purpose if local people
contribute at least $41,000.

Torch Staff Writer

ASLCC will donate $1,000
Eugene's White Bird Clinic to
provide health care for homeless people in the EugeneSpringfield area.
• The decision was made at
the Feb. 11 Senate meeting following a presentation by Bob
Oritz, a White Bird veteran.
White Bird offers mental health
services and substance abuse
services as well as primary
health care. Oritz said that the
clinic has 150peopleonitsstaff
trying to help people who are
"falling through the cracks" of
society's other agencies.

Oritz said that 80 percent of
the people the clinic helps were
born and raised in the area,
and only one-fifth of the local
homeless people are transients.

ASLCC approved the funding proposal by a split vote.
Senator Dan Christensen said
that he voted against the motion because he wasn't sure if
most LCC students would
support this decision. He had
proposed holding a fundraiser
in order to gauge student concern.
Cultural Director Trish
Rosewood said that a fundraiser would likely be planned
but not executed, as has happened with similar ASLCC
issues in the past. She added
that whether a fundraiser generated money, that alone
would not be proof of whether
students supported this com-

e

position.
• President Michael Omogrosso announced that one
more senate position is vacant
since Tyra Ward recently resigned due to personal problems.
• The senate approved directing $1200 to Electronic
Artistry '91, to be held Feb. 22
and 23 at LCC.
• Christensen's previously
tabled proposal tomakeastatement about Gulf War Policy
was approved. The content of
the statement is yet to be determined.

munity investment.
Other business:
• The Senate appointed
Kelly Egre to a senator's position. Since Egre also writes for
the Torch, the Senate questicmed whether she would have
the necessary time to dedicate
to the position. Senators also
expressed concern over possible conflict of interest.
Egre said that she would
turn down any writing assignment if a conflict of interest
would result. She also said she
plans to apply for the editor
position of the Torch next year,
and thinks that understanding
how student government operates would be valuable in that

Concert offers opportunity to show creative potential
Torch Entertainment Editor

Keyboards, synthesizers, a touch of
electronic flair ...
LCC Performing Arts faculty and
students will have a chance to show the
creative potential of electronic instruments and other aspects of a multimedia production in the 5th Annual
Electronic Artistry Concert, corning
Friday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 23
for two shows only.
According to Electronic Artistry
Producer Ed McManus, the event which will incorporate music, dance,
lighting design, and real time video
effects (a video shown while being
filmed, with special effects)-is unique
to Lane.
"It's an opportunity for students ...
to perform on a professional level,"
says McManus. Since Eugene is not in •
the mainstream of events such as this,
he says, 'We bring the mainstream
here."
No other community college in the
nation puts on a multi-media performance such as this, says McManus. He
attributes this to the fact that the areas
of LCC's Performing Arts Department
are so integrated, with many resources
to draw from.
The program will include neon art-

order to bring a wide range of emotional response."
Interface, a synthesizer/ guitar piece
performed by student Heather Perkins, is a "duet ..between human and
computer (which) explores and attempts to resolve" contradictions in
making music with digital technology,
says Perkins.
Music Instructor Don Latarski, on
guitar, and former student Chris Stevens, on synthesizers, will perform
together in three pieces: 'Just By
Chance,' a song incorporating jazz type
harmonies with a pop feel; 'Bach
Samba,' originally from the Sonata in B
minor for unaccompanied violin with
an added bass line, changed meters,
and an added section for improvisation; and 'Oh Shinny Up!,' a jazz/funk
piece written by Latarski.
Guest artist Steve Rosen will perform on keyboards. Rosen, a Berklee
College of Music student, will blend
influences from jazz country and classical music in his original songs, including '4 T-Three, Just Like Home?,'
'Jazz Stretch,' and 'Country Boy.' He
will also perform a tribute to the late
Dennis Saunders, a renowned northwest jazz artist, in Saunders' favorite
tune, 'Satin Doll.'
On Friday, Feb. 22, Rosen will present two of three workshops, which are

ences. It will incorporate this theme
within the elements of time and the
senses of space, sound, and motion.
Emotions Inside to Outside will feature student Brant Wojack on Chapman
Stick/ synthesizers in a piece described
by Wojack as "created with the intention of using as many different rhythmic and dynamic styles as possible in

free to LCC students ..
From 9 a.m. to 10:15 a.m., he will
give a demonstration of real time performance techniques using electronic
keyboards, including wind control,
touch control, and synthesis techniques.
From 10 a.m. to 11 :45 p.rn., Rosen
will show how to keep MIDI (Musical
Instrument Data Interface) sequences
"alive" by preserving the human element throughout the creativ-e process.
He will demonstrate his counterpoint
techniques, methods for musical quantizing, and show the value of leaving
"space" in the mix.
The Yamaha Synthesis Clinic will
host the third workshop, from 1 p.m. to
2:15 p.m. Avery Burdette, a specialist
in the MIDI keyboard and wind controller fields, will present a comprehensive approach to digital synthesis
with emphasis on Yamaha's new RCM
technology.
ASLCC contributed $1200 to help
fund this year's production. The contribution will alleviate the need to charge
LCC students a $5 fee for each of the
workshops. The public is invited to
attend, but will still be charged $5.
Tickets for the concert range from$6
to $8, and are available at the LCC Box
Office and other LCC ticket outlets.
Both shows begin at 8 p.m., in the
Mainstage Theatre.

Retired UO writing director to read poetry at LCC
by Donna Gavin
Torch Staff Writer

One of the 15 steps to becoming an established poet, as
listed in "Career Steps To Literary Recognition," from the
1990 Poet's Market by Judson
Jerome, is to attend poetry
. readings. However, a reading
by a successful Eugene poet,
on February 22 at LCC is not
limited to budding writers.
Everyone is welcome!
John Haislip, professor
emeritus of the English Department at the University of Oregon, and former director of its
Creative Writing Program, will
read some of his poetry at LCC.
LCC's literary arts magazine
Denali is sponsoring the reading, which will be in the College Boardroom, second floor
of the Administration Build-

ing, February 22, at 11 a.m.
Haislip has been publishing
poetry since graduating from
the University of Washington
where, he says, he was greatly
influenced by Theodore
Roethke,anEnglishinstructor
and poet-in-residence at that
time. His works have appeared
in Oregon Signatures, 'Zero Makes
Me Hungry and other anthologies, as well as in numerous
magazines. His latest book is
Seal Rock.
What should one expect at a
poetry reading? "Most poets
dotrytotravelandgivereadings," says Haislip. "It makes
poetry come alive. You
couldn't get as much from a
silent reading to self. The poet
knows his poems.

poems about self," and Haislip
says his first book, Not Every
Year,iswrittenfrommemories
of his childhood.
Friends and family figure
strongly in his work. He says
he hashadastrongelegiacal(a
poem praising and mourning
a specific dead person) streak.
One, Eligy for Jake, in collaboration with a lithographer, John
Rock, is about a friend who
died on Mt. Everest. It is now
housed in the rare book section
of the University of Oregon's
library.
Haislip says that a lot of
people have talent. But what
keeps them from success as a
poet?
. "The inability to fabricate,
mvent. They won't go beyond
what they know. Poetry is
truth,butsometimesitneedsa
twist to reality. They must
invent," he says. He has
penned several poems where
the initial situation was true,
but which required elaboration.
"They must have a sense of
doing something serious," he
continues.

"It is a craft ... hard work. It
helps to have a sense of literary
history ... you don't want to
repeat what has been said. It
will help teach a writer about
how others write. Poetry is an
art, but instead of a brush, you
do it with words."
Haislip has always taught at
universities, including the
University of Washington,
eightyearsatOregonState, and
23 years at University of Oregon. The former editor of
Northwest Review, he holds
several awards and prizes,
including the Oregon Book
Award for Poetry, 1987.
Recently retired, he says he
will miss helping young writers, but not the administrative
work. He will teach part time
for the next few years. He looks
forward to spending more time
collecting agates at the coast,
gardening, and, hopefully,
publishing another book.
"Poets must first try to get
into Ii terary magazines. It's not
hard to publish, but it is difficult to publish in good places.
Most university presses are
quite good. A person should
judge by who else the firm is
publishing and how the distribution is handled. If you try to
peddle it yourself, you won't
get very far," he says.

'Evening of Short
Plays' falls short
LCC's current production of three student-directed plays
provides a brief, uneven, and in some cases essentially unsatisfying evening of entertainment. They are, however, worth a
look.
The best of the lot is the first play, "A Grave Encounter," by
Gene Ruffini, directed by Peter A. Braun and starring Angela
Nurre and Garland 0. Sprick. It is a clever look at the ridiculous
side of graveside soliloquies.
Two Italian-Americans meet in a cemetery while paying
respect to their respective fathers. Offbeat types both, (one fills
Poppa in on the latest developments in television soaps), they
discover a muted, mutual attraction. However, this attraction is
largely sublimated through conversation with the dead. Both
Nurre and Sp rick perform their
parts well, and handle their - - - - - - - - - - - funny accents with ease.
The second "play'' is "The
Blue Hour," a quartet of brief
sketches by David Mamet, who
is usually a perceptive transla- by joshua hendrickson
_
tor of urban life. Not so, however, in these sketches. They are inadequate in their handling of
conflict, and explore none of the humorous potential of their
situations.
Both the direction, by Melissa R. Letcher, and the acting by
Maya Francine Thomas, Mickey Wilson, Dale Wambolt and
Heather Bouher are below average. Given the limpness of the
writing this is forgivable. Overall, the sketches go nowhere.
"Do Over," by Frederick Stoppel, directed by James McCarty
and starring Chris Palmquist and Shannon Fabry, is a slight but
funny little one-act; pleasant enough but not terribly impressive.
A young man travels back through time in order to halt a
doomed relationship before it starts.
The script explores the satirical possibilities inherent in this
cliched concept (the person responsible for time-travel is Shirley
Maclaine!), and finds a good deal of thoughtful humor. However, the script is, in the final analysis, a trifle facile.
The acting is charming, though not especially accurate; some
line interpretation misses the mark. Palmquist' s style is selfconfident, but not totally convincing. Fabry communicates her
character's confusion well, but needs to work on her speaking
voice. It is a little weak for the stage.
As student-directed productions go, these currently offered
are a little sub par. But there is potential evident and, as I said
before, the plays are worth a look.

Group serves dose of motivation
All too often we spend our time complaining
about disease, prejudice, or our love life. Complaining seems to be a national pastime. Occasionally, the moaning coalesces into eloquent
words that serve to motivate. If you want a dose
of motivation, then listen to the new, self-titled

review
by david valdez
album by Maggie's Dream.
AIDS affects most of the American population. The song "One in Six" graphically brings
home the frequency of the disease. The arrangement shocks you into complicity, and then takes
your head off. I have never heard a song with so
eloquent a cry. Power is difficult to invoke in
any lyrics, yet Maggie's Dream plays with its
listener. Any child can see the damage done to
people by this plague, but "One in Six" demands that we act to fix the situation.
Likewise, "Human" is a new form of the bold
anti-racist dialogue favored as a topic in song.
But instead of telling you to change, it makes
you want to change. Many people come up with
ideas to justify race hatred. "Human" simply
points out that everyone feels. And everyone is
human. The soulful delivery that takes you by
surprise- the almost moaning tone of the lead
vocal blends beautifully with the ethereal backup vocals in which you continually hear "Peace

and Love" just prior to the word "human." It
could be all fluffy feeling, but Maggie's Dream
pulls off the sounds of a wounded and aching
soul asking for validation. When you hear pain,
it is difficult to ignore. When you feel pain, it be..:
comes impossible to ignore.
"Dear Simone" is a plea to a prostitute. The
music creates such powerful feelings that simple
songs like "Roxanne" seem trite and lurid in
comparison. Though Sting and Co. has created
a song to raise our consciousness, it lacks all of
the power to motivate. While you could catch
yourself eying for the legendary Simone,
Roxanne generally just makes us feel like dancing.
Perhaps the greatest part of Maggie's Dream
is the intermingling of diverse musical backgrounds. The band is multi-ethnic. Although all
of the artists are from New York, many of them
have lived and worked elsewhere. There is a
definite funk and soul base to the riffs.
There are also enough definite pop hooks
and vocals to make Robert Smith proud: The
raggae influence is unmistakable in the bass.
This band is eclectic, but the union of styles is
easy to listen to, whatever your taste in music
may be. There is enough musicianship for the
enlightened; enough distortion for the loud
clan; even jazz for the musical elitist.
When listening to Maggie's Dream you'll get
motivated. You'll want to change the world.
Justdoit. lfyoudon'twanttochange, then you
need not apply. Take the leap and get moti•

Students give benefit dinner
Advanced Graphic Design students will serve a benefit ainner at Napoli's restaurant and bakery on Sunday, March 3, from
5 p.m. to 8 p.m. to benefit a trip to San Francisco during spring
break.
The trip would allow the class to visit University of California
Berkeley and various design firms and businesses. If a trip is not
financially possible, the money will fund the class poster, which
features each advanced students' end of the year design project.
Tickets are $10.75, and can be obtained from Thomas Rubick,
design instructor. Approximately 65 percent of he proceeds will
go to the students. The menu includes Tossed Salad Vinaigrette,
Garlic and Cheese Focaccia, choice of Meatball & Mushroom

Stonelake nets 37, Titans.win
by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

The last regular season home game for LCC
women's basketball players, Kelli Stonelake and
Carrie Redifer, was a sweet one.
Trailing by seven at halftime, the Titans went on

a 23-12 run mid way through the second half, enroute
to a 77-67 victory over Linn-Benton Community
College (LBCC) on Feb. 13.
Stonelake scored a career-high and LCC women's'
basketball single-game record of 37 points. This
season, Stonelake has scored 30 or more points on
seven occasions. She also extended her career and
school-record scoring mark to 973 points.

Torch Sports Editor
It's too bad the Titans couldn't win one for Coach
Bates.
After 18~ears, Titan Coach Dale Bates watched
one of his LCC teams play at home for the last time
in a 79-64 loss to Linn-Benton_Community College
(LBCC) on Feb. 13.
Perhaps the adrenaline rush from wanting to win
one for the coach helped the Titans get off to an early
12-4 lead, but it wasn't enough to sustain them
throughout the remainder of the game.
Poor outside shooting and inconsistent defense
allowed the Roadrunners to get back into the game
and go into the locker room, leading 30-26.
The second half was more of the same.
LBCC jumped out to an eight point lead early in
the second half at 51-43, and was never seriously
challenged by the Titans after that.
At one point, the Titans appeared to mount a
comeback, cutting the Roadrunner lead to 51-47, but
once again, poor outside shooting sealed LCC's fate.
'Wediditagain," saidafrustrated Bates. "We got
close, then made turnovers on three of our next four
possessions and the next thing you know, we're
down twelve points.
LBCCincreaseditslead to as many as 18points by
scoring easy layups during Titan defensive lapses.
"I'm really discouraged. This team doesn't seem
to have a lot of heart and we're gonna get our butts
kicked on Saturday (the season finale at Mt. Hood
CC, on Feb. 16). if we don't do something to improve," Bates added.
Brian Miller led the Titans with 15 points. Derek
Barnhurst and Jay Willis added 11 for the 10-14
Titans.
LBCC' s Chris Whiting had a game high 27 points
and teammate Chris Wulfadded 21 for the Roadrunners.
The Titans are now 2-11 in NWAACC conference
play.
Bates, lamented on the Titans poor showing this
season, said, "I wish things would have gone better.
It's embarrassing (to the school's tradition) to play
this poorly.
"It's time for me to relax and do some fishing."

to see him go."
Assistant basketball coach,
Monte Alderson, who has
worked with Bates for five
years, said Bates' basketball
knowledge and work ethic can
be summed up in one word,
"professional."
"He's taught me so much. I
can't say enough about the
man."

Redifer, LCC's second leading career scoter, .
added 10 points to her total of 617.
"It's really too bad to lose my two best players
(Stonelake and Redifer);" said women's' coach Dave
Loos. "I can't say enough about their leadership
abilities and work habits."
The Titans fell behind early against LBCC, but
never trailed by more than seven points throughout
the first half.
After exchanging baskets,and once falling behind
by as many as nine points early in the second half,
the Titans began doing what they do best: running
and shooting.
After forcing four straight turnovers by the slower
LBCC team, Redifer' slay-up with 11 :15 left to go in
the game gave the Titans their first lead of the game,
56-55.
LBCC stayed in the game for the next four minutes,
but Katy Carter's free throw put the Ti tans ahead to
stay, 64-62.
LCC's season-long hex of not playing with
intensity down to the wire was lifted.
"We did what we had to do to win," said Loos.
'Weplayed toughdefensetotheend. Wekeptthem
off the boards and off the free throw line."
"The difference between this game and the last
time we played them is the 21 free throws they made
against us last time."
The victory kept the Titans' hopes alive for a
Northwest Athletic Association of Community
Colleges (NW AACC) playoff appearance. A victory
on Feb. 16 at Mt. Hood CC would put LCC in a
position to make the playoffs.
"If we do what we did tonight," said assistant
coach Ron Richards, "I'm sure we'll be able to beat
.
Mt. Hood."
"They are a very similar team and if we repeat
tonight's performance we'll be at home for the
playoffs."
Stonelake was happy her final game at LCC was
a victory.
"I'm glad to end my career on a positive note."
She has been recruited by both the University of
Oregon and Hawaii.
"Kelli believes that Oregon athletes should stay
in Oregon," said her mother, after the game, "But if
Measure 5 causes problems and there's no place for
her here, she may have no other choice but to
leave."
The Titans, 10-14 overall, are now 5-8 in
NWAACC conference play.

During Bates' career at LCC,
the Titans have won or shared
six conference championships.
His coaching record at LCC is

winning percentage is .615
(416-260).
Bates began his coaching
career in 1957 in the Medford

After a three year tenure at
Medford, he took over as head
coach at Eagle Point High
School in 1960, and led it to its
first ever Class AA state

"Corning to Lane was a

hired by the Springfield School

worked out real well."
Over the years, the Bates'
commitment to LCC has been
a family affair.

When asked what advantages
students could expect from this style of
learning, Zimmerman says last term's
class members mentioned on their
evaluation forms that revision was an
aspect of writing they hadn't taken
seriously before, but that they learned
its importance through the group-

work, in some ways, than your own,"
he says. "I think we all think we got it

natural tendency to think so."

But he acknowledges the success of the

course next year.
