Lane Community College February 14, 1991 Eugene, Oregon ,, Vol. 26 No. 17 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 Turn to Bates, page 1O Courtesy of Gail Darmen 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. Turn to Invasion, page 6 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- ent major without any loss in time services program.

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 1 ' 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 populationaslargeasLCC's,itis 11highlyunlikely" tbatthis 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. ~"7" " · · · · • • ~ -••cc ••~•co Editor'snote:As stated in the Torch mast, letters to the editor should be limited to 250 words, though letters that did not meet this requirement have been previously published.

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 February 14, 1991 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 of Mike Dubick for the LCC 11 • 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. 11 : c :;:: : ::, ::~:::~''''~&f/lDff:i Board of Education is that he has the experience to know the political process and theinitiativetofindoutwhat hedoesn't yet know. These qualities will be important for a board member who will be dealing with the state, as education becomes increasingly a state political issue as a result of Ballot Measure 5. The editorial further states, "Yet to date, no student government member has offered (an explanation)" There was protracted discussion at a public senate meeting as to reasons for and against the endorsement. Senate members also discussed the process with Torch reporters. My only hesitation with the process is that I would, if I were to do it again, want to give Senate members who were hesitant to decide at the time, more time to consider. This is a question of process and group dynamics that warrants consideration. As far as the honorary executive cabinet position is concerned, it would be helpful if conflicting opinions as the wisdom of a certain action were brought up during discussion of that action. The first criti- C ;• : ilom; cism I heard of the decision to create the honorary position was in a Torch editorial. The Senate meetings are public, and attendance by students is not only welcome but actively solicited. Access and opportunity are very important issues to me, so disagreement with this action is understandable. !'believe that we had student interests in mind when we considered the proposal on this position, because I've seen Sione' s level of commitment and service. However, the problems as delineated in the Torch editorial cannot be overlooked, and we should take another look at the potential action. The problem with taking a position in an editorial is that you must ignore that which doesnotsupporttha tposition. When I read that the Senate "is not adequately addressing the needs of the students, I think about all the paperwork (Senator) Sabrina (Panasuck) has done, the hours (Treasurer) Laura (Rodgers) spends in front of the computer on Senate business,and the hours and hours (President) Michael Turn to Letters, page 5 11 opinion poll Question of the Week:Do you think thaf medical personnel, such as dental hygienists and registered nurses, should be required to register if they are HIV positive?

Zimmerman says that the groups have difficulty when individual writers cling to their character, insisting that they remain exactly as originally imagined. He also points out that a crew can temper any one person's insistence, preventing an individual from taking control of the story.

Trish Rosewood Cultural Director 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 daily.

People fled the streets as dozens of 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.

Dannen says 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.

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.

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 ,. , / 81\ <:) i~c, ~.................

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 ist David Wiles and Dance Instructor Mary Seereiter performing together in Night Vision, which is based on elements of day and night dream experi- by Tracy Brooks photo by Dana Krizan ElectronicPerformerHeatherPerkins ences.

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.

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. "Areadingshouldn'tbedull.

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. "It's too bad young people get turned off to poetry because the mechanics are stressed or they have long memorizations to do. I had to memorize Portia's long speech from the 'Merchant of Venice', and I hadn't the foggiest idea what it meant. "I love poetry.

'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. review Ken Weeks' "Canyon #3 Mixed Media, on paper, 32" x 37", 1989 Portland artist exhibits work by Tracy Brooks Torch Entertainment Editor Ken Weeks, Portland artist and self-proclaimed advocate of the wild world, will exhibit his paintings in the LCC Gallery Feb. 19 March 8.

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• vated. 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 Calzone or Spinach & Ricotta Calzone, and Blackout Cake for dessert.

She also extended her career and school-record scoring mark to 973 points. Bate S by Robert Catalano 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." continued from page 1 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." In Bates' second year at LCC, the 1974-75 season, the Titans won the Oregon Community Locally Ow:rted And .,..._ Operated CITY COPY 1288 Willamette 344-5287 M-F 8:30-6 Sat. 11-5 page 10 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. Titans fall to LBCC in Bates' last game Colleges Athletic Association (the precursor to the conference NW AACC) championship with a 21-7 record. This feat was duplicated the following year as the team went 24-8. During Bates' career at LCC, the Titans have won or shared six conference championships. His coaching record at LCC is 306-202 and his overall winning percentage is .615 (416-260). Bates began his coaching career in 1957 in the Medford Junior High School system. 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 tournament appearance in 1962. After picking up a masters degree at the University of Oregon in 1965, he became an assistant coach for two years at Oregon Institute ofTechnology in Klamath Falls. Hiscomrnunitycollegehead coaching career began in 1968 Oregon Southwest at ComrnunityCollege(SWOCC) February 14, 1991 The T_prch in Coos Bay. After a disappointing 6-17 season his first year, Bates turned the program around, and during the next five years his teams averaged 21 wins per season. In 1973, Bates ·returned to Eugene. ''Dale's parents lived in Creswell and mine were in Salem, so it was. nice to move back to the area (the Willamette Valley)," said C.B. Bates. "Corning to Lane was a promotion for Dale, and I was hired by the Springfield School District as a librarian, so things worked out real well." Over the years, the Bates' commitment to LCC has been a family affair. Three of the four Bates children have attended Lane for at least one year and two of them have followed in their father's footsteps . Cheryl Durnan, 35, played basketball at LCC and is currently the head girls' basketball coach at Central Linn High School. Rodger,32, wasaforrnerplayer at both LCC and Boise State University, and is now head photo by Dana Krizan Dale Bates reflects on his retirement after18 years at LCC. boys' basketball coach at l<eectsport High School.

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- "It's easier to revise somebody else's work, in some ways, than your own," he says. "I think we all think we got it right the first time, or at least have a natural tendency to think so." individuals responsible for particular scenes. Various people may originally write parts of those scenes, but one person will type the various pieces of an excerpt, condensing, deleting, and adding in order to make the scene effective. Zimmerman says that putting together the story includes having "Then, by the end of next week, we can put it all together in a story and .. ..... .. . spend the entire third week revising, changing, adding as necessary, taking out as necessary," Zimmerman says. Jack Powell, chairman of the English Department, s~ys that no funds are available to teach the class next term. But he acknowledges the success of the venture, and says he hopes to offer the course next year. ··••,·.•. · Jjfi!I]/ 1¥:atf:SA:E'.et>: :t<J> ·:.;.;,:-:,:-:,:,:,:,;.:,:.:.:-:-:•:<•} / / CODEPENDENTS ANONYMOUS meeting, Wed. 12 noon-12:50 p.m., HE 106. 82YAMAHA 750Virago. 20,000miles, excellent condition. $1100 080. 6834617 after 6 p.m. AA MEETING, Friday, 12-12:50, HE 102.
