Lane Community College February 22, 1991 Eugene, Oregon Vol. 26 No. 18 Board applicants file for election by Gaye Norton Leek Torch Staff Writer Four people have filed for the two LCC Board of Education positions available in the March 26 mail-in election. By the Jan. 24 deadline, three applicants for the At-Large position, and one for the Zone 2 position had filed as candidates. Incumbent Jim Pitney of Junction City is running unopposed for the Zone 2 position he has held for four terms. Three candidates, Michael Dubick, Roger Hall and Julia Keizer are running for the At-Large position. Board member Larry Perry is vacating the At-Large position after serving for 16 years. Admitting that it was a big decision, Perry says he has decided he needs time off from the board. "One of the advantages of serving on the board of LCC is that I can leave, even in financially uncertain times, with relatively few pangs of conscience. There always exists at the college ... an abundance of talent and leadership," says Perry. by at least 25 registered voters. Each board member serves a fouryear term. The candidates elected in March will begin their term of office July 1. While candidates for zone positions must live within the zone they represent, those filing for the At-Large positions can live anywhere in the LCC district. Votes may be cast for any candidate regardless of where the voter resides. • According to Pitney, "After 16 years on the board it is not surprising to me that LCC's goals are my goals, and the college plans are my plans. Our problems are also mutual. It has been really great to work with the people at the college - we do a lot of things very well." • At-Large candidate Dubick is in his seventh year of teaching at North Douglas High School in Drain. His wife, Joanne, teaches kindergarten and they have three children. Dubick is a city counselor in Creswell and presently is a member of the LCC Budget Committee. "I really am impressed with LCC and everything in it," says Dubick. "I find it a vibrant, solid, strong, vital Turn to Candidates, page 4 Black History Month commemorated Workshop scheduled by Mary Browning Torch Associate Editor ocommemorate Black History Month, ASLCC is sponsoring a Black History Workshop and Seminar, Saturday, Feb. 23. The program begins at 1 p.m. at Patterson Elementary School. The workshop's focus will be to educate people on African American influence in U.S. history and contemporary multicultural issues, according to event organizer, Student Services Director Ernie Woodland. The seminar will also feature Kathleen Cross, a service coordinator for Self-Enhancement, Inc. (a private, non-profit organization in Portland which serves at-risk youth); and other feature presentations. The event is "not just for people of color," says Woodland. "We want all people to come, so that everyone will get a better understanding ." The program is specifically geared to young people, he says. "The youth are our future. We might not be able to do a lot to change what is happening now, but I think if we educate our youth," says Woodland, "a change will come. "I want our children to be proud of who they are," he says, "to know that people of color have contributed to the building of this nation." Woodland says he hopes that the workshop will be a multicultural event. He expects people of diverse races to attend the seminar. The first portion of Saturday's workshop will feature Rico Perez, chair of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (see related story, page 5), and local storyteller Pauline Ansari. Perez plans to address the need for people from different cultures to live together, not separately. He says, "Kids should know that culture, race, gender, characteristics, and beliefs shouldn't be the reasons to separate ourselves from each other." Ansari'snarratives, which Woodland says will beofinterstto adults, as well as children, will focus on stories of famous blacks in history. Cross will first speak on issues in cross-cultural communication, then open the session to the audience to relate personal experiences and opinions. Cross has conducted workshops dealing with black issues and cultural awareness before. She says that her experience living black and looking white, often gives her lectures a credibility and aura of objectivity that many black speakers aren't credited with when discussing cross-cultural issues. "Living, working, and moving in both worlds," says Cross, "I find myself in a position to educate people who are ignorant of the dynamics of (the barriers of cross-cultural communication)." Cross' presentation will be followed by a free dinner and entertainment by the Bethel Temple Choir.

Wellness Day not just for sick by Donna Gavin Torch Staff Writer You don't have to be sick or stressed to participate in the second annual Wellness Day, Wednesday, Feb. 27, but you will have to register quickly for some workshops with limited enrollment. Second Annual Wellness Day, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., is ,sponsored by the LCC Substance Abuse Prevention and Wellness Committee. The program will include small group experiential workshops, limited to 20 persons each. Registration is required by Feb. 22.

Assoc. Editor Mary Browning Entertainment Editor Tracy Brooks Production Manager Darien Waggoner Photo Editor Erin Naillon Consolidation a must for athletics With the shot of the starter's gun, the athlete surges from the line and races down the track, intent on clearing the hurdles in his path towards victory. He clears the first hurdle with minimal effort, racing side-byside with the competition. But unlike the competition, the athlete's second hurdle is higher, and requires more effort to clear. Meanwhile, the competition opens a lead. . The third hurdle is higher yet. The athlete barely gets over. The competition, on the other hand, continues to pull away. Though the athlete continues to strive, at this rate, victory is virtually impossible. Such is the current state of athletics at LCC. Due to problems associated with underfunding, athletic teams at LCC find the hurdles in the path towards victory growing to almost unreachable heights. Some documentation of this dismal state: the women's cross country team attracted only one competitor this past fall; the women's basketball team lost two top recruits due to unavailability of scholarships; men's basketball Coach Dale Bates, who is retiring in frustration after 18 years, has been mainly able to recruit only athletes with no financial need; LCC coaches must also act as fundraisers for their individual programs. Given this current state, the LCC Board of Education, and administration, must take action to ensure that quality, competitive teams do exist at Lane. The ideal solution, of course, would be securing funds necessary to provide quality teams in all LCC sports. But given the reality of thatoption,especiallyin light of budget restraints surfacing as a result of Ballot Measure 5, the Athletic Department must at this point undergo a consolidation. It must leave intact only a few programs, cutting ineffective, understaffed and undermanned teams which are unable to consistently attract first-rate athletes. The net effect would be an assurance that LCC teams are competitive with other Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges schools. This is not an action that the board and administration should undertake arbitrarily. Athletic Director Bob Foster and other coaches must be allowed to work hand-in-hand with executive bodies to determine where program cuts should be made, and how funds saved by cuts would be allocated within the department. Student athletes, as well, must be allowed input before any final decisions. Should the board and administration fail to address the current state of LCC athletics, LCC athletic program followers can only expect that talented area athletes will go elsewhere, quality coaches will leave the program for others which are better funded, and teams will pile up losses and a sense of frustration. ;:;:i:i•::;:;:!:~:i:!:!:~:i:i:::::::::::;:;:~:i:!:!:i.:::.

Page2 February 22, 1991 The Torch Rese_onsible journalism not e_racticed Register-Guard report biased Editor's note: This is an expanded version of a guest-editorial column that first appeared in the Feb. 19, 1991 issue of The Register Guard. A news story in the Jan. 8 issue of The Register Guard "Military Buildings Set Afire" begins: 'Two fires, apparently intended as protests agianst U.S. Military action in the Persian Gulf, were set at the U.S. Army Reserves Center on Thursday night wtih what wittnesses said appeared to be Molotov cocktails." My dictionary defines "apparent" as "readily seen," "plain or obvious," "visible," "open to view," "evident." On Saturday, Jan. 19, I spent several hours in the afternoon and evening at the Federal Building trying to communicate, frequently successfully, with counter-demonstrators who supported President Bush's use of force. Many, interestingly, were willing to talk only after I revealed my Air Force ROTC, Marine Corps, and USMCR (Marine Reserves) service in the 'S0's and '60's-as though only those credentials gave me the right to have my say. I asked why they were so vehemently threatening violence against peaceful demonstrators who were practicing traditional American rights that our troops, supposedly, were fighting for. The most frequent answer I received appropriate to print was that "they" had tried to bum down the Army and Marine Reserve Center. "They" therefore deserved similar violence directed against them the previous night and should expect even worse that night. The source of the information? They had read it in the "Guard" or heard it from those who had. I was troubled because the identity or allegiance of the arsonists wasn't all that "apparent'' to me. Moreover, neither the Jan. 18 Oregon Daily Emerald story by Bob Waite nor the Jan. 19 Oregonian version by Dana Tims and Diane Dulken had employed such unprofessional editorializing in a news story. I called the "Guard" on Jan. 29 to express my concern about its coverage. I learned from a reporter under whose byline the story appeared that it had been written originally with a factual first paragraph and the unsubstantiated smear of the anti-war protestors was an opinion expressed in the second paragraph by a spokesperson of the Army Reserve Center. Impartial, factual news reporting characteristic of quality journalism has been in this instance displaced by what is, at best, unwarranted assumptions and subconscious editorial bias. However, editors to whom I spoke on Jan. 29 and again on Feb. 4 defended their editing of the original version. Later, on Feb. 4, I asked Tom Turner, the Eugene police detective in charge of the investigation, if he had concluded that the arsons were part of the anti-Bush policy protests. His response:" Absolutely not. They may have been politically motivated, the nuisance act of arsonists, or an action by prowar supporters trying to discredit the peace movement. Right now we haven't guaranteed anything regarding political motivation." The effect of the edited first paragraph, however, is to convict of hypocritical and violent criminal behavior, without trial or evidence, patriotic Americans committed to peacemaking and non-violence. Moreover, paragraph five uses the nebulous transitional device, "Meanwhile, con.tinued tense demonstrations at the Federal Building ... " to further link legitimate peaceful protest with the firebombings. In fact, these were two separate stories and should have been treated as such. Is this mere academic quibbling? I think not. I attended several demonstrations beginning with the early morning march from Alton Baker Park and whenever I could during that trying week. I observed peaceful protestors yelled at and threatened, called vile names, cursed, spit on, pushed around, chased, kicked and punched. They were shot at with B-B guns and had eggs and light bulbs thrown at them from passing cars. They had posters and banners ripped away from them, tom up and burned. Women and girls were punched in the breasts. Many protesters, especially those with children, were forced to leave in fear for their safety. photo by Erin Naillon guest editorial jerome garger Although police arrested some pro-war supporters guilty of criminal assault, the end result was that a mob of drunken, violent bullies - disgracing the American flags that many of them waved - deprived citizens of their right to peacefully protest the policies with which they disagree. This is not to imply that all or even most supporters of Bush's war acted this way. They did not. But a significant number, especially on Friday and Saturday night, did. Nor is it to say that misguided "peace" protesters could not have been responsible for the firebombings, but simply that there was no evidence at that point, or now, to draw that conclusion. The Register Guard's editorial pages, from my perspective, generally take a pro-corporation, pro-development, pro-militarism, antienvironmental, anti-grass-roots democracy positions. That is the right and privilege of its editors. But Eugene's only daily newspaper also promises in its masthead, "the impartial publication ... of all news and statements on news." When unwarranted assumptions and unconscious biases distort the reporting or editing of news stories, journalistic principles of objectivity and fairness have been violated. In these times of unreasonable censorship, manufactured war hysteria, marketed jingoism, and blind patriotism, the major media have generally, in my opinion, become little more than stenographers, mouthpieces, and cheerleaders for the short-sighted, militaristic, welfare-for-the-wealthy policies of the Bush administration. I am particularly concerned about the innuendo, half-truths, and glaring omissions that, on a national level, minimize and discredit efforts at peacemaking by millions of informed, patriotic citizens. Americans deserve the truth presented in a fair, impartial, accurate, responsible and complete manner. We demand no less.

Around 2 p.m. that day we broke up into small groups according to districts and lobbied our representatives, mine happened to be Marie Bell. When we were directed into her office we placed 400 postcards, which we had collected in support of our views, on her desk and explained their meaning. She didn't seem impressed, even though these supporters were her constituents and we had hand delivered them. Ms. Bell, we asked, "Do you support manufacturers to be required to use a minimum content of recycled materials in packaging, paper, plastic, etc.?" The answer was no. She doesn't believe in mandates on anything that doesn't affect the public health and safety. I pointed out that landfills and the incineration of garbage are directly linked to the public health and safety. She seemed to disagree and stated that it may only affect plant life. We then questioned if plant and and human life aren't indeed related, again she seemed to disagree. Then strangely enough she accused usofbeing blind to other social problems such as homelessness.

"Perez, chairman of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), planned to address the crowd about how it should "reaffirm our equal right to what is the nation's highest and supreme law," the constitution, he says. He claims that unfortunately, city of Eugene officials discouraged him from speaking when he received an achievement award for having initiated the MLK Celebration. Perez organized the first MLK event in 1986-87, while serving as interim ASLCC Cultural Director. The first celebration drew only a small crowd, yet Perez "got a hint about how to make it better," he says. He was elected as cultural director for the following year and expanded the celebration, including moving to the Hult Center's Silva Concert hall at the request of Richard Turner, then LCC's president. "I'm very upset with the way the Martin Luther King Celebration is moving," Perez says. "It's caused Dr. King to be some idol, you know, some elusive idol." Perez says Turner asked him to hold the event at the Hult Center in order to show the college in a favorable light while it was attempting to gain voter approval for a new tax base. "I sure wish I had said no," Perez now says, his tone reminiscent of a father robbed of his first-born son. The city of Eugene, he attests, takes most of the credit for the event, while in reality all it does is provide space. ''That's bullshit, you know," he says. Credit for the event belongs with the programs that coordinate it, according to Perez. "Next year, you're going to see a radical tum," he predicts. "A whole lot of people are very upset with the city's way of dealing with things. When Perez was 15 years old (the year King was killed) and lived in a black neighborhood in Los Angeles, Dr. King was his hero. Now, King's memory serves as a working example for him, rather than some distant mystical figure. Sitting in the Fifth Street Public Market underneath an image of a frowning clown imposed on an American flag, Perez reveals that he was upset to receive an MLK achievement award at the Hult Center with Eugene Mayor Jeff Miller present, because Miller does nothing to help the homeless. ''They want to spend $4 million to open up Willamette street," Perez complains, referring to city government. "Four million dollars would create a great program for the homeless." In addition, Miller and Springfield Mayor Bill Morisette were both scheduled to speak at the civil rights march Perez organized, which preceded the Hult Center event. They planned to reaffirm a commitment to racial equality, but Perez says the two mayors did not show up due to fears that the march would be ,nore anti-war than pro-civil rights, and that they would receive little favor due to their support of the Gulf War. hardly, in any key positions anywhere in this city?" He also questions the notion of having a month set aside for black history, rather than just having black culture taught all year. Rico Perez is the current chair of the local NAACP chapter. Perez, however, asserts that "It's the highlight of my life right now, that 2,000people, from third grade to senior citizens, showed up for (the march) and it was not focused on the war," Perez says. In a way, Perez has become cynical due to his activism. He questions the attitude of celebrating success in civil rights when the little ground that has been gained is rapidly slipping away. "Where the h~ll is cultural diversity when you have no people of color, "Onceayear, we'regoingtoobserve our brothers and sisters of Afro-American heritage. It's absurdity," he says. ''We never pay attention to them all year round. Why should we start paying attention to them all of a sudden?" Nevertheless, Perez plans to speak at the Black History Workshop Seminar at Patterson Elementary School in Eugene on Feb. 23. This time, he says, city officials will not censor, edit, delete, or otherwise manipulate his message. Dr. D prescribes some exam time tips Dear Dr. Decorum, Mystresslevelisatthehigh water mark. I have upcoming exams and I'm not sure I know enough to pass the tests. Is there anything that can help me. JohnD. Buck Dear John, There are several experimental methods for dealing with unknown exam answers. Some are new and innovative, but their value has yet to be established, and others are time • tested,butnotalwaystrue. Let me list some below: • The Extra Cranial Noctur- . nal Osmosis Method - This is the method of acquiring knowledge by putting a book under your pillow, and allowing the information to seep into your mind. Although this . is a traditional practice, its effectiveness is dubious at best. .• The Extra Sensory Perception Reception Plan - This is the transference of knowledge from your instructor to you using telepathy. This method is closely allied to the Vulcan Mind Link, but doesn't work' quite as well. • The Evil Knevil Retrieval System - This method assumes the information is already in your brain, so you do something which brings you close to death, say try to jump a canyon with a car you borrowed from a friend (hence the name), and as your life passes before you, the answers you need can be retrieved. Unfortunately the survival rate using this method makes it prohibitive. • Altered State Revelation Equation- With this method, you consume your weight in junk food, and when the sugar high hits it propels your consciousness into a new order of truth perception. Unfortunatelyyourbodycompensates by leaving you in a coma for a month afterward. • The Cram, Jam, and Flim · Flam Technique -- This is a traditional method where you study for half an hour the night before a test, then party till the exam hour, at which time you B.S. your way through the test. Most of us are familiar with the empirical results of this method. • The Study Every Day Plan - This is the traditional method which seems to produce the desired results. Study your text, notes, or do assignments every day. I hope this information is useful for you. Dr.D GULF WAR Teach-in 9:30-10:00 Opening 10:00-11:00.....Speaker # 1-TBA- APR 216 11:00-12:00.....

THE TROOPS CRATER LAKE LODGE COMPANY P.O. BOX 128 • Crater Lake, Oregon 97604 Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer The Torch February 22, 1991 Page 5 LCC centers expect enrollment to rise ,P. Chris Prather Torch Staff Writer Due to recent proposed cutbacks at the University of Oregon and other state colleges, as well as likely tuition increases, LCC's off campus centers in Cottage Grove, Florence, and Downtown Eugene expect an increase in enrollment next year. Florence director Bill Porter expects higher enrollment for the 1991-92 school year. "What we'll see will be more of an economic thing as the universities charge higher and higher tuition. Students will see the benefit of taking their first year of classes here (at LCC)," says Porter. He adds that the Florence campus is now attempting to incorporate the entire first year of transferable college credit classes into its curriculum plans. Don Strahan, director of the Cottage Grove Center, also expects higher enrollment due to a combination of economic factors and the scarcity of classes likely at four-year public schools. Due to already crowded conditions at LCC-Cottage Grove, higher enrollment could cause some problems. Says Strahan, "At this time we are in a crunch for space, especially during the day." He says the Cottage Grove facility, which is only 4,000 square feet, is also the site for the Adult and Family Services Jobs Program which began last November. The Jobs Program added 20 students to the enrollment in Cottage Grove and each program session takes approximately 20 hours. The Cottage Grove Center has already submitted its planning requests for next year, proposing relocation of the GED and Adult Basic Education programs to local churches in Cottage Grove. Strahan hopes this will alleviate some crowding problems. "I don't know in what way we'll be able to respond yet because of questions still surrounding Measure Five," he says. • Asian culture celebrated photo by John Unger These youths perform a traditional Chinese dance during the Asian Celebration held during the weekend of Feb. 16-17 at the Lane County Fairgrounds. Porter says that the expected increase in enrollment will not cause many problems in the Florence facility, since there are currently space in existing classes. However, he says problems may arise if the center cannot add extra classes due to budget restraints. Now you can afford to dream in color. If you thought that finding a color Macintosh®system you could afford was just a dream, then the new, affordable Macintosh LC is a dream come true. The Macintosh LC is rich in color. Unlike many computers that can display only 16 colors at once,the Macintosh LC expands your paleue to 256 colors. It also comes with a microphone and new sound-input technology that lets you personalize your work by adding voice or other sounds. Llke every Macintosh computer, the LC is easy to set up and easy to master. And it runs thousands of available applications that all work in the same, consistent way-so once you've learned one program,you're well on your way to learning them all. The Macintosh LC even lets you share information with someone who uses a different type of computer-thanks to the versatile Apple®SuperDrive~ which can read from and write to Macintosh, MS-DOS, 0S/2, and Apple II floppy disks. Take a look at the Macintosh LC and see what it gives you. Then pinch yourself. It's better than a dream-it's a Macintosh.

But, Vincent Jones always finds time to talk with the students he meets, listening intently to their thoughts and ideas. understand the issue. "They knew that childcare was 'looking after children,' but nothing past that," he says. However, the current ASLCC Senate has a better understanding of the Moskus seems interested in the establishment of an on-campus childcare facility. "Jerry Moskus, as the new president, has been pretty open in taking the ball with that and saying, 'OK, let's hire a (childcare) consultant of an on-campus committee to review possible LCC cuts that would be caused by Measure 5.

Jones became familiar with the workings of student governments when he served as a researcher for the Community Colleges of Oregon Student Action Consortium (CCOSAC).

Math Department frustrated: needs not met by Carl Mottle Torch Staff Writer During fall registration you were among the students whomadealmostl,3 00official requests for a Math 70 class after all classes were filled, you probably experienced some frustration. Also frustrated over its inability to offer math classes in high demand, the Mathematics Department staff recently issued a study which outlined its several problems: too few full-time and part-time math instructors, too-large class sizes, and a distribution of non-instructional workload to full time instructors which has a negative impact on the quality of the department's teaching. · The Mathematics Department study, released to the Torch in December and now considered public, makes 11 eight of comparisons departments - Art, Business, Data Processing, English, Math, Science, Social Science, and Study Skills. Tom Reimer, Department chairperson, says these picked "We (departments) because they were the most similar." The study highlights the fact that the Math Department has a ratio of part-time instructors (21 inFall 1990-eightofwhom were new) to full-time instructors (8 in Fall 1990) whichisnearlydoub le theratio in the English Department, and triple that of all other departments except Data Processing (which is slightly higher). Those who wrote the report claim this ratio generally means thatthenon-instructional tasks - such as orientation and communication with part-time staff, representation on departmental committees, curriculum coordination, and student screening- compete for the time of full-time instructors. Department members say the full-time instructors should instead, spend time on curriculurr. development, growth in mathematics and educational innovation, and student success activities. This would require hiring more fulltime instructors. Reimer declares "The creativity and the ideas and the vision sometimes get lost because you just sit and do the crunch work all the time." Surprisingly, the study demonstrated a similar situation in the Data Processing Department where the part- timetofull-timeinstructorratio is "well above the college average," the study claims. Thatdepartment alsohasmore students per average class, compared with the other departments studied. Reimer, who chairs both the Mathematics Department and Processing Data the Departments, says "This is a Mathematics Department study. It happened to turnout that Data Processing is in the same boat as Mathematics." The study predicts some consequences for all those the with connected Mathematics Department. For Reimer sums up the impact on the full-time instructors by saying "They've done an excellent job of doing the things that have had to be done, bu tat the same time, they' re just getting very, very tired, and that makes it difficult to do some of the work that has yet to be done." When asked about an ideal solution to the problem, Reimer replies quickly: "Five more full-time instructor! " However, when asked for a realistic appraisal of the future situation, the chairman offers the fact that "We are getting a new contracted staff member this spring." students, it means being "frequently closed out of classes due to high demand," and students who "feel lost in developmental classes because class size is too large." Further, according to the study, students "might end up failing a mathematics class because they cannot get enough help." This could be related to another point the study makes, that students "may have a hard time finding their instructors because parttime instructors are not on campus all day and full-time instructors are so few they are frequently in curriculum or other department meetings." f' getyou rhandi nthe ;~ .:.1 .. --...~ ·, i~~ :: • ...,...._J... ..... , • ad salesperson wanted • salary • commission • ~-~ ~ ~· ~ 1• 4 \ ·•: .

When they went to work, they began to see themselves as adults, as part of the community." Since their jobs -- bussing tables, washing dishes and keeping the cafeteria organized--are fairly visible, the trainees are also learning to relate to the public and set their own goals and work toward them. This is very important, says Tracy McIntosh: "My goals are to communicate with my (fellow) workers, to learn how to be with the public and to become a supervisor." The trainees like the incentive program, says Olson, one of the supervisors. The knowledge that they can affect their wages through the quality of their work gives them a sense of control in their lives, she says. lii Many LCC students also seem to ~ gain something from the trainees in ~ the cafeteria. 0 ~ Daniel Page, a music major said, j "They bring an expression of joy to . .

Barbara Hayes, the head supervisor, used The trainees at LCC are gaining a Roberts is proposing a $7 million cut sense of ambition and accom- to teach remedial academics to adults in Oregon's Mental Heal th and Developmental Disabilities Services' budget, according to Oregon Rehabilitation Services. The cuts will mean, among other ramifications, that 850 adults with mental retardation and developmental disabilities will be eliminated from programs all over the state. In Lane County, 76 adults will be cut out. At LCC, 13 people will lose their work. The adults targeted for the cutbacks are those with families who may be able to support them. The group homes for these adults will not accept any more clients if the proposed cuts go through, so the only option for them will be to live with their families or at a state institution. At LCC, the trainees interviewed are mostly in their 30' s and 40' s and their parents are approaching old age. Ironically, according to Rick Venturi,directorof the Work Activity Center, if 3.5 percent of the 850 adults with mental retardation and developmental disabilities are eventually institutionalized, the state will save no money from program cutbacks. It costs Oregon $400a month for one adult in a vocational services program, but $12,000 a month to supportoneadultinastateinst itution. Another result of the proposed cuts, according to Venturi, may be a lower quality of service provided to adults with mental retardation and developmental disability who remain in the programs. Hayes puts perspective on the issue: Two states back East spend the most on education, through choice, and the least on their prison systems, through lack of necessity. We can either spend a lot on institutionalizing people, or a Ii ttle on keeping them in the community.

SB 66 proposes that companies currently operating within the state of Oregon adopt a functional practice of recycling their waste products. According to Aunan' s testimony, thepracticeofrecycling, SB 66 also proposes the use of unclaimed Bottle Bill deposits to fund solid waste and recycling proposals, as well as research into the packaging processes of Oregon based companies, to assure that they are meeting certain criteria for environmentally sound packaging. The plan covers provisions for curbside collection rate structure, commercial recycling, government procurement, and minimum recycled content. These ideas, if mandated, mean that companies will have to develop their marketing strategies in accordance with a minimum quota, which will assure that companies that produce waste products will have to adjust their amount of recycling to meet the new guidelines. • I ; ,c a '''l!@!!!E!Biil!

"We've got some decent pitching this year," says Titan head coach Bob Foster. "We don't have the defense, power or speed we had last year, but with our pitching we won't have to score nine or 10 runs a game to win either." Returning sophomores Bogey Bennett and Mike Swanson will anchor the pitching staff for the Titans. Swanson was a second team Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NW AACC) conference selection in 1990. In the infield, LCC has Kelly Robertson (also a member of the NWAACC second team), Aaron Pheabolt and Bobby Hammond returning from last year's 18-16 team. Lamenting on his team's weaknesses, Foster says, ''Were going to bunt and hit-and-run a lot this year. We' re also going to have to work hard photo by Dana Krizan Titans practice hitting prowess before season begins. to be competitive." He adds, "If we don't, we're going to wind up from the middle-to-the-lower-end of the pack." Included in the Titans' 37 game season schedule are 24 NWAACC conference games, as well as six home double-headers. "LCC' s philosophy (in conference games) is to 'sweep' at home and split on the road," says assistant coach Steve Wolf. "It's what we'll have to do in order to make the (NWAACC) playoffs." The California trip begins with a twin-bill against Shasta College in Redding on March 16. It then has single games with Modesto College on Mar. 17, Merced College Junior Varsity on March 18, and Lassen College in Susanville on March 20. The road trip ends with a double-header against College of the Siskiyous in Weed, Calif. on March 21. LCC will play its first home game on April 2, against Mt. Hood CC at 3 p.m. Tightly-knit track teams to begin season on lvtarch 2 by Robert Catalano Torch Sports Editor Larry Callaway, LCC's men's and women's track coach, says he's looking forward to the 1991 season. "I think the men's team is going to surprise a lot of people and the women's team should be as good as last year's." Callaway, who is returning for his second year as women's track coach at LCC, will coach both the men's and women's teams this year. (Although Callaway essentially coached both teams last season, he was not officially named as coach of both teams until this season). "It's a lot less confusing this year," Callaway says. "They (members of both teams) all report to one pers~n now, so it's kind of like a family<' The men's team is less experienced thanlastyear's,butthe lack of experience doesn't seem toworryCallaway.LCC's 1990 track team placed third in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges Region IV meet and fifth in the NW AACC conference finals. "We only have four guys returning, but some of the new guys are going to make our team stronger." Calla way says the prospects for the women's team are equally bright. ''We're really strong with our sprint team and we have the region's 100, 200 and 400meter sprint champions and the 400-meter hurdle champ." LCC also has the 1990 NWAACC Region IV champi• onship sprint relay team returning. "My biggest concern is that we have too many sprinters and not enough women distance runners," says Callaway.

LCC President Dr. Jerry Moskusisalsoexpected toplay for the ASLCC team. The ASLCC staff will hold one practice session before the game. Sacred Heart Hospital of Eugene is lending the the LCC crew some wheelchairs to use during the game. Admission to the game will be $3 for adults, $2 for seniors and children. LCC students can attend the game free of charge with current student ID. At this point, we really don't have anyone strong in the 3000, 5000 or 10,000-meter (events). Any new distance runners would strengthen the team a lot." II "Last year we didn't have any throwers (discus, javeiin, or shotput), so we'll catch up on some of the points we might lose by not having a strong distance team." The Titan men's and women's teams open the season with the March 2 Linfield Icebreaker meet in McMinnville. Basketball season ends Kelli Stonelake scored 31 points and the LCC women's basketball team ended itsseasonona positive note Feb.16 Tvith a 84-77 victory over Mt. Hood CC. Katie Carter, Carrie Redifer and Nicole Bignotti each scored 14 points for the Titans, who finished their season with a 12-14 record. Stonelake, who finished the season with a 24.4 pergame scoring average, was also named on Feb. 20 to the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NW AACC) all conference first team. Carrie Redifer received honorable mention to the NW AACC team. The men's basketball team ended its season in an opposite manner. In Dale Bates' last game as LCC' s head coach, the Titans dropped a 73-62 decision to Mt. Hood CC on Feb. 16, to complete the season with a 9-17 record and a last place finish in the NW AACC. Sam Thompson led the Titans with 22 points. New machines well used by Julie Phillipo For the Torch Last Spring, the Physical Education Departm@nt purchased three machines for its weight room, a hip and thigh machine, a "peck-deck," and a vertical leg press. Besides the machines, the department purchased new dumbbells of various weights, and bench press bars as well. LCC Intramural Coordinator, Gary Knapp, estimates the new equipment had a price tag a little over $5,000. The P.E. Department, according to instructor Bob Radcliffe, has waited 10 years for these machines and says, ''The (weight)roomcould useabout four more hip and thigh machines as well as four more 'peck-decks.' The machines we have now are being used nonstop." Radcliffe adds that the con- stant use the machines receive puts extensive wec;1r and tear on them. The P.E. Department, according to Radcliffe offers 14 sections of weight lifting classes per term, each with an enrollment between 30-35, which adds up to between 430 to 490 students per term. Radcliffe adds, those numbers indicate weight lifting classes are one of the most popular P.E. Department offeJ:ings. Radcliffe says the students seem to like _the new machines and he is always hearing positive feedback from those students. According to Radcliffe, female students especially like the hip and thigh machine, while students with back problems like the vertical leg pres5 because it allows them to work their legs, without putting too much stress on the rest of their bodies. • CLASSIFIED ADS ARE FREE to LCC students and staff, 15 word maximum, and will be printed on a space available basis.
