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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bell's forgotten
To the Editor,
On Feb. 13 I participated in
the recycling lobby day in Salem. 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

MLK event founder miffed at event's direcUon •
by John Unger
Torch Staff Writer

The founder of the ASLCC sponsored Martin Luther King (MLK) Celebration, Rico Perez complains that he
was unable to give a speech he had
been planning for this year's event.
"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

Mystresslevelisatthehigh

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Departments, says "This is a

that Data Processing is in the

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

However, when asked for a
realistic appraisal of the future

the fact that "We are getting a
new contracted staff member

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."

Since their jobs -- bussing tables,

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

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

Ensemble concerts coming
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Entertainment Editor

LCC Performing Arts students will
perform in a series of music ensemble
concerts in February and March in the
Mainstage Theatre.
The concerts are a wrap up for winter term, allowing music students a

Spring in full swing for LCC baseball team
by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

The LCC men's baseball team is readying
itself for the Spring 1991 season which begins
with a road trip to California, March 16-21.
"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

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.

Low Riders come to LCC
Benefit for Disabled Student Services
by Jeff Newton
Torch Staff Writer

Everyone knows that basketball season is still in progress for some teams, but this is
also the time when some
"hoops" organizations plan
their fundraisers.
Members of the LCC Student Disabled Services staff
and the Eugene Low Riders
wheelchair basketball team
will hold an annual fundraiser
on Feb. 27,at7p.m. in the main
gym at LCC. Money raised

Locally
Ow11ed

during the benefit will support
the Low Riders and LCC' s
Disabled Students Services.
The Eugene Low Riders,
who will be playing a team
made up of members of the
Associated Students of Lane
Community College (ASLCC)
staff, have previously played
against the University of Oregon Ducks and the Portland
Trailblazers in other fundraisers.
Seth Craig, ASLCC's Communications Director, expects
the Low Riders to prevail in a
decisive fashion. "We'regoing
to give it our best shot. That's

where the humor will be, seeing the other team get their
butts kicked."
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.
