Spring Work Study,
Perkins Loans cut
by Mary Browning
Torch Associate "Editor

The LCC Financial Aid Office must cut
$168,249 of the aid awarded to students receiving Perkins Loans and College Work
Study (CWS) for spring term.
Financial Aid Director Linda Waddell has
cut all Perkins Loan awards by 33 percent,
and all CWS monies awarded by 35 percent.
Waddell says the cuts will affect the 400500 students who are Perkins Loan recipients; and another 400-500 students who receive CWS money.
Students who receive aid from both programs will be doubly affected by the cutbacks, she says.
The shortfall
The cuts are due to the Financial Aid
Department's over commitment of Perkins
and CWS awards for the 1990-91 school year,
says Waddell.
"It's a process of using factual information and estimates, based on past history and
risk," says Waddell, explaining the formula
for over commitment of funds.
Her department committed 159 percent
of PerkinsLoan funds available and 280 percent of CWS funds to students this year.
The available funds are over committed,
says Waddell, because some students may
drop out of college, or choose not to collect
funds awarded, or lose financial aid eligibility because of academic failure, and an average of only 70 percent of the CWS awarded is
actually claimed.
Over commitment, she says, is an attempt
to provide as many students as possible with
financial aid while taking into account that
much of the money awarded will not be
utilized.
Initially, Waddell says she estimated that
the over commitment was even more serious, and Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (SEOG) would need to becut,as
well.
For spring term, the department had
planned to disburse $197,025 in Perkins Loan
and $358,824 for CWS. But the actual funds
now available for the term are $102,771 in
Perkins Loans and $125,887 in CWS, according to Waddell.
This leaves a discrepancy of $94,254 in
Perkins awards, and $232,937 in CWS - a
total of $327,191 promised -that the college
will be unable to disburse to students.
The bailout
The Financial Aid Department first became aware that it had over committed
awards near the end of January.
"At that point, we were exploring alternatives. We didn't want to overreact ... (and)
alarm people until we knew the extent of the
problem and the solutions," says Waddell.
''We feel that there is sufficient time for us to
explore alternatives with students to restore
the funding."
According to Vice President of Student
Services Bob Marshall, "The President has
directed me to try to find a way to soften the

Black History Workshop
Kathleen Cross was the keynote speaker at ASLCC's Feb. 23
Black History Workshop and Seminar. Cross, pictured here
with her daughters (left to right) Khalia, Melody, and Akira,
directed her address to the children who attended. She
spoke of the origins of racial discrimination and her own
experiences as a bi-racial woman in the United States.

LCC' s recently adopted tax base
could be wiped off the books in the
wake of Ballot Measure 5, if the Oregon
legislature passes House Bill (HB)2431.
Measure 5, the property tax limitation passed last fall, will result in lost
funding for public school operations,
including community colleges. The
measure requires the state general fund
to replace any revenue lost by public
schools due to the property tax limitation.
However, HB 2431 authorizes the
state to limit replacement funds to the
aggregate of all community college's
tax bases in effect in 1990, plus six percent, according to LCC President Jerry
Moskus. This would mean LCC would
be forced to operate under a 10-yearold base, plus the six percent.
The bill was introduced by a coalition of governmental and education
agencies in the state, including the
Oregon Education Association.
LCC Education Association President Jay Marston says the intent of the
bill is to ensure that public education
·. receives a backfill of funds. He adds,
however, that LCC'ssituation-having
recently passed a new tax base - is
unique, and that was not taken into
account when the bill was drafted.
''What's disturbing to me," says
Marston, "is w.e've lost local control"

Kuwait liberated

Iraq agrees to U.N. resolutions
by Devan C. Wilson
Torch Editor

resident Bush ordered a suspension of allied
offensive forces military activities against Iraqi
President Saddam Hussein's battered army
Wednesday night, declaring that "Kuwait is
liberated" and Iraq's army has been defeated.
Thecease-firebeganThursday,atmidnightEastern
time (8 a.m. in the Middle East). Iraq responded in a
Baghdad radio announcement ordering its soldiers to
stop fighting, approximately three hours after allies
suspended offensive operations.
In an announcement from the Oval Office, televised
around the world, Bush said the suspension would
continue as long as Iraq did not attack allied forces or
launch missiles at any other country.
Bush invited Hussein to send Iraqi military officials
to a meeting in the war theater to settle the military
terms of a permanent cease-fire with allied officials.
Iraq must comply with a strict set of demands
requiring it to honor all 12 United Nations resolutions
on Kuwait for a permanent cease-fire to take place,
Bush stated. These include nullification of the annexation of the emirate nation and agreement in principle to
pay reparations to Kuwait and other countries.
Iraq must also free all prisoners of war and detained

P

Kuwaiti citizens, and reveal locations of all land and
sea mines laid within the region.
Iraq's U.N. Ambassador received a letter late Wednesday from the Iraqi foreign minister, Tariq Aziz,
providing authorization to inform the Security Council that Iraq was prepared to accept all 12 resolutions
the council adopted after Iraq first invaded Kuwait in
August.
The letter, received prior to Bush's address, does not
speak to the issue of prisoners held by Iraq.
Only hours before Bush's announcement of suspension of offensive military action, allied units engaged
• in a furious tank battle with Iraq's elite Republican
• Guard, cutting it to pieces, according to the Feb. 27
Register-Guard. Battlefied interviews with soldiers
involved in the assault revealed that the tank clash
raged across dozens of miles of the southern Iraqi
desert and Republican Guard units offered fierce resistance despite overwhelming odds.
In addition, at midday Wednesday, U.S. Marines
retook the Kuwait International Airport from Iraqi
forces after a two-day battle,
These two battlefield victories essentially completed
the expulsion of Iraq's forces from Kuwait, over six
months after the invasion of the emirate nation on Aug.

Financial Aid fails to
meet students' needs
The phone rang this past Tuesday in the late afternoon.
At the other end of the line was a Student Services staff
member, asking if the Torch could provide coverage on a
story.
This was an extremely important story, the source said,
and financial aid students needed immectiate access to this
information.
The source was assured efforts would be made to include the story1n the final issue of winter term, the very one
you now hold in your hands, though it was in fact late in the
•
week in terms of planning.
The following afternoon, the. Torch Associate Editor
entered a scheduled interview with Vice President of Student Services Bob Marshall to discuss an OSPIRG recycling
proposal. To the editor's surprise, present in Marshall's
•office was Financial Aid Director Linda Waddell. The topic
of the scheduled interview was temporarily shelved Waddell wasintenton providinginformationforthis "important" story.
So what is the story? A reduction in the distribution of
Perkins Loan and College Work Study monies is due to an
over commitment of funds (see story, page 1).
According to Waddell, affected students were mailed a
letter of notification on Feb. 28, alerting them of this situation.
That letter, supplied to the Torch by Waddell, is dated
Feb. 28, 1991. However, according to Waddell, financial aid
officials have been aware of this overcommitment' since
late January, during the fourth week of the term.
True, Waddell was showing a commitment to student
needs by attempting to provide students advance notification of this situation, via the Torch.
But in fact, she and other financial aid officials failed
miserably in doing so, especially considering they have
had access to this information for a full month.
Consider that the letter is dated one day prior to the
publication date of the current Torch.
By waiting four weeks to notify affected students, financial aid officials have limited the potential for students to
develop other options for funding their education. With
only three weeks until the beginning of spring term, the
chances of affected students developing other options are
minimal.
Had students been informed four weeks ago, when the
Financial Aid office first became aware of the problem,
there would have been adequate time for affected students
to access their needs and determine a course of action.
Waddell says financial aid officials have been working
for the past month on the implications of the over commitment. However, it makes absolutely no sense that even
possible implications were withheld from students until
now. This action is a disservice to financial aid recipients at
LCC.

Gulf crisis SRarks misdirected P-atriotism

U.S. flag treated with disrespect
On a wet Sunday morning, there it was catching the wind as flags are aptto do, the Stars
and Stripes, soggy, dirty, chasing bits of litter
and dead leaves. I slogged across the spongy
yards to rescue our absent neighbor's large flag,
trying to understand their motives for leaving it
untended.
Beside it, other flags pale, don't they? The
primary colors and the poetic design never fail
to stir my soul; to hold it and pause for a
moment is to be engulfed in a connectedness
that is intimate, private, public, historical, and
emotional. It is a reminder of our heritage, our
pride, joy, grief, and our responsibility.

commentary
by donna gavin
We Americans are quick to rally around our
flag, and just as quick to lose our heads. The past
few months the flag, our symbol for what we
are as a nation, has suffered a lot of abuse due to
ignorance and carelessness about its display
and from its misuse asa symbol that we support
war.
Many a Fourth of July I've flown the only
flag on our block. I would like to fly it now, but
I can't. I am offended by aggressive patriotism,
frightened by blind faith in leaders who have
used our love of country for political manipula•
tion.
I acknowledge, everyone has the right to do
with the flag as he or she wishes, including
those who would burn it, and those who have,
of late, slapped it up from every conceivable
perspective: their roofs, car antennas, rear
windows, truck beds.
It is true that all have the right to express
patriotismastheyseefit, butl wish more people
would exercise some thought about how appropriate their expression may be.

Bush opinion
misguided
To the Editor,
According to President
Bush, in the speech he gave on
Feb. 25, black Americans are
fortunate because they are able
to join the military without
discrimination.
He says that the disproportionate numberof black people
in the military is a sign of the
military' s successful affirmative action policies. I would
have laughed, except that
people may believe him.
Obviously, the high number of black people in the military is due to a lack of successful affirmative action policies
elsewhere. Black people, in
general, are probably not more
eager. than white people to
serve the interests of a government that keeps them enslaved
in jobs barely paying the rent
and offering no health insurance.
Also, Bush spoke of Thomas Jefferson and the equality
of all men (what about
women?) according to the
constitution. What Bush didn't
say is that Jefferson owned
slaves and tried to prove scientifically that black people were
inferior as a race.
Bush evoked disgusting
irony in his observance of black

of a local fraternity house who put out an
enormous flag draped from an attic windowit was filthy, tom and hung with the blue field

Is it patriotism to mount a flag so that half of
it is forever caught in bushes or brushing the
ground? Does it make sense to care enough to
fly our nation's colors, but not enough to make
sure they are hung so that the wind will not
make litter of them?
It looks patriotic for kids to decorate their
bikes with flags for a parade, butitlooksshabby

It is notthe cloth, the politics, or the day of the
year that should determine how we treat that

care and respect. If we cannot be correct in small
things, how will we handle the large?
We have a responsibility to uphold the principles for which we believe this country stands.
I believe that responsibility includes close examination, every day, of what our entrusted
officials are doing. It includes the courage to act
and react to what is being done, who is doing it,
and why.
Is the current wave of patriotism a shallow
fad that will fade as flags will? I hope it is the
beginning of a more careful, questioning,
humble, and sensitive kind of American.
Patriotism does not rest with flag flying ... it
begins with it!

Ad fostered
negative image
To the Editor,
On page five of the Feb. 22
edition of the Torch, we were
disappointed to find the format of our advertisement
changed. Graphics that may
have fostered negative feelings
about the Mar. 4 Teach-In were
added withoutourpermission.
The Mar. 4 Teach-In is intended solely to educate. We
strongly suggest that a policy
requiring client consent for all

Ad offensive,
Torch at fault
To the Editor,
This is in regard to an advertisement that was placed in
the Feb. 22 Torch, page 5. The
headline of the advertisement
read: GULF WAR TEACH IN.
Asa member of the Associated
Students (ASLCC) I am per-

sonally offended at the Torch's
decision to add the little boxes
1
at the bottom of the advertisement which reads: "Sack Iraq,"
"SupporttheTroops," and ''No
Blood for Oil." Now, I believe
in the value of everyone's own
opinion, but, using an ad vertisement originally (designed
by) the Associated Students
and having the Torch change
the advertisement was a poor
choice on their part. To any
student, staff member, or anyone that it possibly could of
offended, please remember
that the Associated Students
did not authorize the added
material. Also, I apologize to
the people who are spending
time and energy on the Gulf
Teach In because to have this
kind of unwanted advertisement is most likely disappointing.
Sabrina Panasuck
ASLCC Senator

Editor's note: The addition of
graphics to the ad submitted on
behalf of WINTA by ASLCC was
in direct co_nflict with Torch
-policy, and was not a reflection of
the collective opinion of Torch
Editorial Board members. The
Torch a-pologizes to members of
WINTA and ASLCC, as well as
other student groups and individuals who were affected by the
content of the advertisement.

Energy, having supported
nuclear fusion research rather
than solar energy research for
the last 40 years, has recently
endorsed a plan that predicts
the utilization of fusion in 50
years.
"Anybody that tells you that
you'll have something in 50
years has to be stark, raving
mad -you should send them
to Bhagdad," McDaniels said.
Alternative energy activist
RandyPrinceandLCCPolitical
Science Professor George
Alvergue also spoke at the
forum.
Prince supports the
development of alcohol
production to be used as a fuel
source for cars.
"I don't think anyone has
ever heard of one country
invading another country to
get at its corn fields," he said.
Prince pointed out that in
the long term, all energy is
renewable. "The problem is,
we take out the oil faster than
we put in the dinosaurs," he
said.
Raising the price of
consuming less quickly
renewable resources should
occur, Prince said, adding that
the ultimate evil is to deplete
our natural resources.
Alvergue lamented that 90
percent of the energy used on
the planet is derived from fossil
fuels. He asserted that
Americans can maintain their
standard of living while using
less energy and possibly even
improve the quality of life due
to less pollution.

opportunities for alternative
energy sources are abundant
and all that Americans need to
do is reach out for them.

When Joan Vanschoonhoven's group decided to conduct an informal survey as part of
its class project for instructor Mary Forestieri's
Small Group Communications section, she had
no idea any controversy would result.
"Some of us had heard of complaints about
the Financial Aid Department," recounts Vanschoonhoven, "so, we thought this would be a
good waytofindoutif therereallywasany kind
of problem."
One of the objectives for the class project,
according to Forestieri, is to collect information
to see if a problem exists. Once students define
a problem, solutions to the problem, based on
received information, are discussed.
The group distributed the surveys, which
included general questions about financial aid
issues, in a number of locations on the LCC
campus. Members of the group, as a requirement of the project, received permission from a
"person of authority'' in each location where
they placed the surveys.
Everything seemed to be running smoothly·
until LCC Vice-President of Student Services
Bob Marshall paid a visittoForestieri'ssu pervisor, English and Foreign Language Department
Head Jack Powell and informed him the survey
was against administration policy.
According to Powell, although he knew LCC
had a policy requiring persons or agencies not
affiliated with the school to obtain permission
before conducting surveys on campus, he was
not aware it applied to projects conducted by

LCC students.
The policy, in short, requires all surveys,
which involve more than one LCC department,
or cross more than one segment of the administration-faculty-student spectrum, to be approved by the Office of Instructional Research,
Planning and Evaluation.
"This is necessary to make sure that the
information contained in the surveys is factual
and in line with our administrative procedures,"
says Larry Brown, coordinator of Program
Evaluation. "This particular survey would
probably nof have been approved because it
did not meet these requirements."
Forestieri, who was also unaware of these
restrictions, has allowed students to conduct
similar ~urveys, without administration approval since 1984.
Forestieri says, "In past years we've asked
such questions as 'Do students want a credit
card-money machine on campus?' and 'Do
students have a particular place where they can
obtain college transfer information/' Questions
have also been asked about night and weekend
class needs for students and student evaluation
of faculty members.
"The information we've received has often
caused positive changes here."
Vanschoonhoven's group doesn't feel very
positiveaboutthead ministration'srespo nse to
the survey.
"This started out to be an innocent class
project," saysgroupmember Cynthia Fenwick.
"All of this makes me wonder if the school has
some things they want to hide."

CWE provides training beyond classroom··
by Chris Barron
Torch Staff Writer

A college degree can mean everything, and yet nothing. Experience
means everything.
• That old adage could be the slogan
for LCC's Cooperative Work Experience (CWE) program.
For those who don't know, CWE is
an "academic program that combines
classroom theory with real on-the-job
practical work experience," says a
CWE pamphlet. Another definition
might be "relevant learning experience
that is not available in the classroom."
Any way it is defined, CWE' s program at LCC is considered one of the
more successful programs in the United
States, according to CWE Department
Head Bob Way, who started LCC's
CWEprograminM ay, 1969.
CWE, which will officially change
its name in the fall to Co-op Education
when the LCCcatalogscomeout, is run
by 34 coordinators who are in charge of
48 vocational and 36 liberal arts programs. Approximately 2,000 students
will earn a total of $4 million this year in
CWE programs ranging from agricultural and industrial equipment to international co-op to, video production,
says Way.
''This particular program is considered a model program," he says. ''We

CUt

have a number of visitors each year
come here to see why we are successful."
And what do those visitors see?
"A program that has an excellent
staff. They see a college that believes in
work experience being educational,"
says Way, "and that the program is set
up with a good administrative model
- that one person is in charge of tr~
whole program."
When Way started at LCC, 87 students signed up for CWE in the first
term of the program. This was higher
than the national average for colleges
nationwide. Way has seen the program
grow "very rapidly'' tothepointwhere
"it is the largest co-op program for
community colleges in the United
States," Ways says.
One example of rapid growth in
CWE is Political Science Coordinator
Steve Candee' s program. When Candee started at LCC in the winter termof
last year, only three students were
enrolled for political science work
experience. Just four terms later, 23
students are in Candee's program and
he sees interest still peaking.
Candee, who is known for plugging
CWE to anybody that will listen, has
built his program up to where students
have internships in the legislature in
Salem, with the Oregon Student Public

Interest Research Group (OSPIRG) and
with U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, to name
just a few.
"Success breeds success," he says.
"Once you start being known for prod ucing a certain service - and I still
beat th~ bushes trying to get -people
interested - it is getting to the point
where people are getting referred to me
•
by others.
"... And job placements happen the
same way," adds Candee. "One of the
first internships I filled was with Jerry
Rust on the County Board of Commissioners. Since then, four out of the five
county commissioners have taken LCC
interns.
"A lot of these jobs are ones h .
don't get advertised ... and a lot of
people who do internships end up
getting jobs as a result of it."
A majority of the CWE programs are
paid positions. Students can supplement their incomes while earning college credit.
One drawback to such CWE jobs,
however, is that positions in some
programs can be affected during a
downturn in the economy.
That is what has happened to Linda
Myers, a coordinator for Construction,
Mechanics and Industrial Technology
Program
"My programs are all tied to the

economy," Myers says. "I think the jobs
in the mechanics and construction tech
are a little more see-saw than, say, office jobs. They're also a little more seasonal."
Myers says student interest is high,
but her problem is letting businesses in
the community know that there are
eager students looking for training.
Competing programs, such as the Dislocated Worker's program, also make
it difficult for some CWE programs to
place students, adds Myers.
Despite such problems, Ways says,
the overall fact is that CWE is a valuable tool for students to use. Way uses
a personal example to back up that
point.
"I have a son who is graduating
from Western Oregon withoutanyCoopexperience," Way says. "He's graduating from there without any idea of
how working in his career field is. And
when he gets out, he won't have any
work experience on his resume.
"A lot of times it's at least valuable
- if not more valuable - to try out •
something and find out it's not what
you want to do than spend years pursuing a potential career, and then finding out it's really not something you
want to do," Candee says. "This gives
you an opportunity to find out what
you don't want to do as well as what
you may end up doing."

impact (of the cuts) through
college funds available."
Marshall and Waddell say
that the college will divert
$100,000 in funds.
But the source that will
supply the revenue has not
been finalized, according to
Vice President for Administrative Services Dick Hillier.

Even with$100,000from the
college, and $58,942 taken from
next year's federal allocation
for CWS funds, it was still neccesary for Waddell to cut
$168,249 from student awards.
The number one factor affecting _the over commitment
is "the economy," she says. The
weakening economy "has

made CWS more attractive"
and lowered the revenue the
college receives from the repayment of principle and intereston former Perkins Loans.
Adjusted formula

Despite the fact that there
have been unclaimed funds
from money committed for

with CWScouldeam. This year
students could earn $900 a
term, compared $450 a term
last year.
She says that she _felt this
would make CWS more attractive to students and she adjusted theamountof fundsover
committed downward to com•
pensate.

Perkins Loans ($47,402) and
CWS ($45,379) in the two previous years, Waddell says that
she lowered the over commitment formula for CWS funds
from 300 percent last year, to
280 percent this year.
She says her reasoning for
this was because she increased
the amount of money students

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 palette 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.

Senate tables funding Int'/ Night band
by John Unger
.

Torch Staff Writer

The ASLCC Senate tabled a request at the Feb. 25 meeting to
allocate $500 for Sandunga, a band featuring Central and South
American music, to perform at the International Night sponsored
by the Students Of Multi Ethnicity (SOME) club. The event
would feature music and dances prepared and performed by
students from different countries.
According to Maria de los Angeles Uquillas, spokesperson for
the club, Sandunga members have agreed to lower their price
from $800 to $500 upon hearing the purpose of the event - to
bring together international students and students from the
United States, as well as people in the community, by showing
and sharing cultures.
Sandunga's musical themes tend to pertain to an international
purpose, said Uquillas. She added that this year's event will
include a dancing class involving Salsa, Lambada, Cumbia, and
other dances. She also said all students are invited to attend.
But some ASLCC officers said they felt that all students
should be able to afford to attend, since all students would be
paying for the event through ASLCC funds. ASLCC Treasurer
Laura Rodgers said that last year she was unable to attend, and
that she would like to see a lower price on students' tickets.
The Senate stated that it would have to know the price of the

over the future of local education institutions. With Measure 5 in place, activities on the
state level have potential to
override the vote of local residents, he says.
HB 2431 must first pass
through several house committees, before going to the State
Senate, according to the Senate
Secretary's Office. The bill is
currently being reviewed in the
House Revenue Committee.
"It just doesn't make sense
to discredit the vote of the
people," says Moskus. "I'm
hoping •the legislature will
agree."
After operating for 10 years
under the old tax base, Moskus
says, '~Ne needed this money
desperately."
Moskus, however, is optimistic thatthe HB 2341 will not
pass, and that LCC will be
granted funds in accordance
with the $3.75 million tax base
approved by voters last fall.
"I have confidence that local representatives will do
everything they can so that the
support of the voters is upheld," Moskus says.
He also says there is currently little support for the bill
in the state legislature.
Regardless, a cloud of uncertainty now hovers above the
LCC budget process, according to Moskus.
In response, the college is
currently developing two
budgets, including one that
would limit services offered at
the college.
"That budget is pretty dismal," he says. ''We need the
tax base the people approved."
The second budget is in
accordance with passage of the
tax base, according to Moskus,
and would allow the college to
avoid cuts and "serve the needs
of the students."
With confusion over the
status of the new tax base,
Moskus says LCC faces a
unique problem as compared
to other community colleges.
"They know the worst case
scenario, and we don't, and
they know the best case scenario, and we don't."

tickets before the issue would be voted on.
In other business:
• Student Resource Center Director Ernie Woodland said that
the Black History Month Workshop held on Feb. 23 was good
overall, but that he would have liked to have seen more people
attend.
In spite of a low turnout, he said that the 40 or so people who
attended "really appreciated what had happened, hoping that
they'll in fact give that information to other people in the
community and maybe next time they'll be twice as many
people."
•Sen.Brandon Cox said that he thinks there is a communication
gap between students and ASLCC officers.
Buthealsosaid thattheASLCCinfo rmation table, to be setup
in the cafeteria on March 7, should promote student government
and acquaint students with its functions. He added that ASLCC
will set up an information table in the cafeteria on Wednesdays
and Thursdays alternately each week during next term.
• The Senate also endorsed OSPIRG' s recycling program
involving aluminum can recycling on campus. OSPIRG's
program would have the campus providing the containers and
individual departments maintaining them.
The next Senate meeting will be on Monday, March 4, at3 p.m.
in the boardroom of the Administration Building.

Napoli's Restaurant
hosts benefit dinner
by Joe Harwood
Torch Staff Writer

Students of the LCC Graphic Design Department are
sponsoring a dinner to raise funds for a color business card and
poster project.
The dinner will take place on Sunday, Mar. 3, between 5 and
8 p.m. at the Napoli Restaurant and Bakery.
Graphic Design instructor Thomas Rubick says there will be
about 15 students preparing the meal, washing dishes, and
acting as hosts and servers.
"It was the students' idea," says Rubick. Last year, the
students had to pay a $25 fee for the project, which was voluntary,
according to Rubick. "This is a way for the students to still have
the project and not pay for it (out of their own pockets)."
The project is the final design for second-year graphic design
students, says Rubick. Each student will design his or her own
business card in four color, do the mechanical art for it, and have
it made into a poster. Students will receive 300 business cards a
piece.
The wholesale cost of the project is $550, says Rubick. The
Napoli Restaurant will give 60% of the proceeds from the dinner
to the Graphic Design Department to offset the cost of the
project, says Mark Smith, graphic design student. Smith's wife,
Paula Scharf, is co-owner of Napoli's and offered the use of the
restaurant to help the department.
The menu for the evening features tossed salad vinaigrette,
garlic and cheese focaccia, meatball and mushroom calzone or
spinach and riccota calzone for the entree, and blackout cake
with coffee or tea for desert.
Napoli Restaurant and Bakery is located at 686 E. 13th at
Hilyard in Eugene. Tickets for the event are $10.75 and must be
purchased in advance. To order, call Rubick at ext.2887.

dance form executed through physical touch maintaining a point of contact.

Workshop teaches contact improvisation
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Entertainment Editor

Envision 30 able-bodied
people lying on a floor, sideby-side, rolling, while one disabled person lies on top and
moves across the room. It's

things that might happen in
Annual
Fourth

Danceablilty Workshop, coming Mar. 8,9, and 10 to Eugene.
Leaming to express oneself
through such "contact improvisation," saysAlitoAlessi,
one of the organizers for the
event, is the main focus of the
workshop. He says contact
improvisation is a dance form
based on two or more people
moving in physical contact
following a point of contact between them and the spontaneous movement in their own
bodies.
"Its orientation is to find
what movement you have and
build from there ... it's about
really finding the quality and
sensation in whatever movement that you do have," says
Alessi, who dances with the
Joint Forces Dance Company.
Alessi, along with Karen Nelson of Joint Forces, has produced the workshop for three
years in Eugene.
Originally, the idea for the
workshop was to create an atmosphere for disabled and

abl~-bod.ied people, including
visually and hearing impaired,
to experience movement together. The organizers, says
Alessi, heard about a cou pie in
England, Kevin Finnen and
Louise Richards, who had created such a workshop. Alessi
and Nelson invited the couple
to the U.S. to make use of their
knowledge. They found, however, thatthe couple had never
combined disabled and ablebodied people in one activity,
so the very first workshop,
threeyearsago, wasquiteoriginal theworldover,saysAlessi.

"It's really about
communication
through the
sense of touch."
"It's really abou tcommunication through the sense of
touch. Pretty much, you just
cometounderstand thelimitations that anybody has, including able-bodied people, and to
work with disabled people the
same way you work with ablebodied people."
Alessi says that disabled
people are quite mobile, and
are more used to having to
work through physical situations than are able-bodied
people. Able-bodied people
don' tunderstand this, he says,
and, generally, do things to

-

disabled people instead of allowing them the mobility to
express themselves artistically.
Dance can unite people in
movement, dispel fears and
mis~onceptions people have
aoout their bodies, and help
able-bodied people interact
with those who are disabled,
says Alessi. How to act with
disabled people can be disarming, Alessi concedes, but everybody makes mistakes.
"The task is not that we
know how to do anything, and
not that we know how to do it
right, but that we pursue and
stumble along through whatever things we get confronted
with," he says.
This year's workshop will
feature five facilitators: Steve
Paxton, whose work focuses
mainly on the visually impaired; Bruce Curtis, of the
Exposed to Gravity Project;
Emery Blackwell, who has
studied Contactlmprovisation
for two years; as well as Nelson and Alessi.
The workshop will begin
Friday, Mar. 8, at 7 p.m., in the
Hilyard Community Center. A
video presentation will begin
the session, which will weave
workshop and performance
footage together with interviews of previous participants.
An actual demonstration will
follow.
Saturday, Mar. 9 and Sunday, Mar. 10, from 11 a.m. to 6
p.m., will be actual workshop
sessions in which participants
will learn the Contact Improvisation.
Cost for the workshop is
based on a sliding scale. According to Alessi, a participant
candonateupto$50 ,butfunds
are available for people to attend the workshop for free. He
stresses that funds should not
be a barrier to anyone attend_
ing the workshop.
People interested should
contact Alessi for pre-registration materials at Joint Forces
Dance Company, 342-3273.

Resolutions showcases
dance faculty achievements
by Chris Prather
T_orch ?!aff Writer

This year's faculty dance concert,
Resolutions, will highlight eight original works by four LCC dance faculty
members.
The program, held annually to showcase department achievements, will
include pieces by Mary L. Seereiter,
director of LCC's dance program, and
dance instructors Kym Flemming,
Cheryl Lemmer, and Cara Siler.
Dancers will include students and
facultyfromLCCand 13membersfrom
the Eugene Jazz Company.
"I feel like it's an excellent program,"
states Seerei ter. "A lot of the pieces are
dealing with current issues. And some
of them are just fun jazz pieces."
Seereiterchoreographed-and will
perform in - "Endangered," "Polemics," and "World Piece."
According to Seereiter, "Endangered" is a powerful piece that looks at
the devastation being inflicted upon
the world. "If we continue to destroy
our world, we approach the status of
those we have condemned to extinction."
Seereiter will be joined by LCC dance
faculty member Catherine Jenkins and
U of O dance faculty members Sherrie
Barr and Alison Rubin in "Endangered." Barr will also perform in

''Polemics."
"Polemics" will be accompanied by
"4/4 for Four," performed by LCC
Music Department instructor Nathan
Cammack's percussion ensemble.
"World Piece" will be set to Cammack' s
string quartet and piano.
"But Then Again," is a mix of classical ballet and modern dance, choreographed by Flemming. It will highlight
the talents of LCC student Sheila San
Nicholas and Sarah Lombardi from the
Eugene Ballet Company.
Lemmer offers two pieces, "Gentle
Woman," a dance about female compassion, and "5-4-3-2-1 "an experimental piece of high pow ~r and rythmic
. jazz, both of which Lemmer choreographed.
Siler will perform in both her pieces
entitled "Tied Up" and JICool It Off."
"Tied Up" is a political piece that
observes the division of workers and
politicians, with the hope that both can
work together; while "Cool It Off"
addresses life's problems: how to cope
and then move on.
Resolutions will take place at 8 p.m.
on March 8 and 9 in the Lane Performing Arts Main Theatre. Tickets cost $4
for s~udents and $6 for the general
public. For more information and ticket
outlet locations, call Myrna Seifert at
726-2209.

Low Riders cruise past Moskus-led ASLCC
by Jeff Newton
Torch Staff Writer

The Associated Students of Lane Community College (ASLCC) and the Lane County
Low Riders held a benefit wheelchair basketball game at the Lane Community College Main
Gymnasium on Feb. 27.
The Low Riders, a community based team
which competes in wheelchair basketball games
nationally, faced a nine-man crew from ASLCC.
The team included ASLCC President Micheal
Omogrosso,ASLCC Communications Director
Seth Craig, and LCCPresident Dr. Jerry Moskus.
•The Low Riders jumped off to a quick lead
and led the ASLCC team 25-6 at the end of the
first half.
In the second half the Low Riders extended
their lead to forty points. LCC managed only

five points for the entire half.
"They crunched us," commented Craig.
Jim Craft of the Low Riders says "It's a lot of
fun playing with the other team. This brings out
the fun in crowd which comes to watch the
other team crash in their chairs," said Craft.
The ASLCC crew performed well in the field,
despite some minor mishaps on the floor which
kept the small crowd laughing, but wound up
on the short end of a 51-11 score.
The one thing all the participants could agree
on was that they enjoyed the experience. "Everybody had fun playing the game, and we're
hoping to have them back next year for another
round," said Moskus.
Proceeds from the game went to both the
Low Riders and LCC' s Disabled Student Services.

School sports may thrive in spite of Measure 5
Education and sports have
long been the Siamese twins of
our public, secondary schools
and universities.
Alumnus and students express pride of association with
any given school, usually in
terms of an institution's academic standing or athletic
prowess.
In Oregon, the consensus
of educators, as well as a significant number of the general
public, is that Measure S's inevitable budget cuts will cause
a radical surgery of sorts to
separate academics from athletics.
I beg to differ. While budget
cuts may cause some colleges
and schools to cut athletic
programs, the link between
academics and remaining
sports programs will probably
become stronger than ever.
There are a number of rea-

sons for this.
Since budget cuts wilt
probably reduce staffing numbers at some schools, it will
require administrators to hire
people who are able to wear
many different hats. In other
words, schools will not be hiring coaches, they will be hiring
teachers who can coach.
Two prime examples of this
situation in one of our local
public school districts are Steve
Morelock and Pat McMahon
of Briggs Middle School in
Springfield.
Morelock is not only an
eighth-grade language arts and
social studies teacher, heis also
a coach and an administrator.
At Briggs, he is the athletic
intramural coordinator and
runs the schools computer lab.
He is also the varsity soccer
coach at Thurston High School

and is involved in local youth
soccer leagues. All of this on a
teacher's salary.
Mc Mahon is also very busy.
Besides being a fine teacher,
also at Briggs, he is the junior
varsity girl's basketball coach

commentary
by robert catalano
at Marist High School.
In the classroom, Morelock
and Mc Mahon, are not just
teachers. Their background in
athletics gives them motivational skills which are indispensable tools for creating
better academic standards for
their students.
On the field, their team

members get coaches who can
teach. Telling and exhorting an
athlete to reach a goal means
little if the athlete does not
know fundamentals. Teaching
fundamentals is the basis of
both athletics and academics.
Budget conscious administrators will, by the single act of
consolidating some programs,
tie athletics and academics
more closeley together. Less
money means fewer programs,
true, but what remains may
very well be stronger.
For example, in the late
1960s and early 1970s many
public school districts and
universities expanded their
curriculums because the times
demanded it.
With budget cuts, the
school's may not be able to offer
such a wide variety of classes.
However, this creates a situ-

ation where basic classes can
be taught with more diversity.
Expertise in many topics may
not be as specific, but less specificity is better than not discussing the subject at all.
The same goes for athletics.
While trying to have competitive teams in a number of
sports, it's true the school is
offering a maximum number
of opportunities for prospective athletes. But what if the
majority of these teams are
losers? What sort of respect or
motivation does constant losing bring to the school or the
athlete? In the real world, very
little.
If the school concentrated
on having three or four highlymotivated, well-funded and
competitively successful
teams, winning would probably not only bring respect to
the school's students and faculty, but also raise community
consciousness. It's true that
people love winners. Such
support could transform into
much needed dollars for the
schools.
With the advent of consolidation and the teaching-coach,
·students will benefit. However,
this can only be true if administrators do their part and hire
the best of a few, rather than
more of the mediocre. Large
numbers of class offerings
mean little if the school can't
afford to hire g~ instructors
to teach each one.
Having a massive number
of faculty members means
nothing, if those being hired
come at the cheapest price in
dollars and experience.
Trying to field a team in
every sport has no meaning if
all those teams are losers.
Measure 5 is a reality, but it
doesn't have to mean the separation of athletics fromacadem. ics. If administrators and
coaches, and the general public, would face reality instead
of whining about it, positive
changes can occur. It will take
intelligence, patience and a
willingness to do more with
less.
In the United States, that's
what education is all about.
