Lane Community College Vol. 26 Eugene, Oregon April 5, 1991 No. 21 Financial Aid cuts force adjustments by Mary Browning Torch Associate Editor Enrollment at LCC is once again on the rise, resulting in an increasingly crowded campus as students scurry to classes. Enrollment continues to rise Transfer courses in highest demand by Joe Harwood Torch Staff Writer Students unable to register for needed classes this term should not feel alone. Nearly all college transfer classes are full and have long waiting lists. Most in demand are classes in writing (121-123), mathlecture,and thesciencesespecially biology and chemistry. Some sections in the Business Department are also in high demand. All literature classes are also full. Bob Marshall, vice president of Student Services, says that most students are exclusively seeking college transfer classes. "It's mostly lecture classes that are in high demand," he says. ''The whole English department is full. The demand is basically not being met," he says. Marshall does report, however, that many occupational programs, like welding, are still open and accessible. Citing an example of overcrowding, Marshall says one intermediate algebra class received 204 Classline calls after it was already full. "Obviously, we know where the needs are and the demand is ... it's very clear." Students trying to finish the last class in a needed sequence are experiencing the greatest difficulty, according to Marshall. He advises students not to wait until their last quarter to finish the classes they need. Reviewing a fresh set of figures, Marshall says an increase in student enrollment accounts for many of the current problems. "We have 945 more students registered as of March 22 than we did on that date last year." But he expects the enrollment to decline to approximately 500 new students. "A lot of people registered earlier this term, some of whom will drop classes as the quarter progresses." Turn to Enrollment, page 6 Proposal to charge for all credits goes before Board of Ed by Joe Harwood With LCC College Work Study awards cut by 35 percent, both campus departments which employ work study students, and the students themselves, have been forced to make adjustments. "Nobody likes to see this sort of thing happen, but everyone is adjusting to it very well," says College Work Study Becky Coordinator Newcombe. "I'm pleasantly su prised . . . I think the supervisors are more upset than the students." Financial Aid Director Linda Waddell agrees with this. "Generally speaking, the students are very accepting of the reasons for the cu ts," she says. "We're hearing more positive than negative comments ... and mainly (the financial aid department) is seeing students who come in to clarify their options, not to complain. The negative reaction that we' re hearing comes from college staff." Waddell attributes this to the loss of work study hours to college departments and the staff's "perception of a negative po ten ti al consequence to the students." her says Waddell department has received about 100requestsforStafford Loans, to replace lost revenue from Perkins Loan awards. Director of Job Placement Joan Adams says that her department has not seen a significant increase in applications for work. Some departments have been forced to cut back on some of the hours that students are served. The art department gallery is now closed early on three nights a week.

And, unfortunately, the charges against Bond - tampering with drug records, in association with charges of possession of a controlled substance - have the Potential to place a dark cloud over LCC programs addressing addictive behavior. We, as students and staff atLCC, can not let this happen. The outcome of the charges against Bond will ultimately be decided within the Lane County judicial system. The future success of the programs he and other staff members have worked so hard to establish will be decided here on campus. LCC students and staff must at this point recognize the necessity ofmaintainingfaithin the programs which ~nd helped establish, and ensure their continued succe~s. Consider these statistics supplied by StudentHealtn: • From August, 1990, through January,•1991, Bon<;t and his staff counseled over 30() students on addictive . beh4y- ./ ior.

Dyan Banta Reduce effects of Measure 5 To the Editor, Where had the initiative gone? A huge amount of the revenues lostto Ballot Measure 5 is going directly into the pockets of big business. The passgae of Measure 5 and the resultant loss of state revenues to public· education, public services, and other vital human resource programs is the aftermath of a cleverly orchestrated scam perpetrated on the public by the unscrupulous elements of big business. Giving larger profits to the wealthy and the owners of big businesses was not the inten·tion of most of the people who voted for Measure 5. The travesty is obvious and huge, so why isn't there a movement to amend Measure 5, restructuring is so that it achieves only what the public intended it to accomplish? The answer to the problems created by Measure 5 is simple: Rescind that part of Measure 5 which reduced property taxes for big businesses and the wealthy. Obviously a sales tax on everybody, irregardless of their The Torch '.,", ... ,., ability to pay, is not a conscionable solution. Also it is the perfect time to demand passage of a tenable, graduated income tax. We all know the federal government is dominated by big-money stooges, but can't we, at the local level, bring at least some modicum of justice to the revenue-gathering process in our own state? Please write to us today, sharing with us your support, ideas, and insights. We intent to take immediate action and greatly desire your input? Doug and Prudence Amick 4158 Sunnyview Road NE, #138 Salem, OR 97305 Class presents problems Editor's note: This letter was received at the end of winter term, after the deadline to be included March 1 issue. It was edited for size with the permission of the writer. To the Editor, This is an open letter to future students who wish to take the Automotive Body and Fender class. Students who are legally blind or really near sighted should take special note. I was a student in this class and am legally blind. I have had many problems in this class (as listed below). First, I was given the task of taking out dents in a fender. I worked on this for approximately six weeks. I don' tknow what the problem was, but the instructor never seemed to want toadvanceme enough so that I could have been where the other first-term students were. I messed up three fenders and feel that part of the problem was that the instructor didn't take much time to show me how to do the assignment correctly. Second, I was given the task of spot welding holes in a fender. This is very hard to do for people who don't know what spot welding includes. You have to drill small holes, which I did. Then, I had to weld brass rods to the small drill holes so that the brass rods covered the holes. This caused a problem for me. When the metal got hot, it changed color, and that made it hard to locate the holes with my vision problem. Consequently, I had large bunches of brass drippings on the fender and hardly any on the drill holes where they were supposed to be. The instructor was not pleased with this, but I told him that I had done my best. Third, I was given the task of welding thin pieces of metal together. This is hard to do when you are a person who has trouble with his vision in thefirstplace.l triedmybestto do a good job, but I don't feel that I did. Also, I burned myself many times in the process. This was the hardest part of the class. I had to stick my face close to the flame to see if I was doing it correctly. Because of these problems, I wouldn' trecommend this class to anyone with vision problems. I also feel that because of these problems, the instructor will not pass me and that I will be unable to take Automotive Painting. If I don't pass this term, I will most likely not be back next term because I am already on financial probation. I don't know if the financial office would give me another chance or not. Basically, it's up to my instructor if I will be back next term. This is the only class I am enrolled in this term, and the financial office will base their decision upon the grade I receive in the Automotive Bcxiy and Fender class. Heiko S.

"I think the U.S. should at least be supplying arms to the rebels, but not giving them back-up support." "Yes. That's my opinion; yes." "That depends on the Presidential policy, but I would say not at this time, No." "No - definitely not. I don't think that the U.S. should have any participation in Iraq or be involved in that war at all. I don't think they have any place over there at all." INTERVIEWS BY ERIN SUTTON PHOTOS BY ERIN NAILLON Who's at fault? Society patterns neglect InanApril3, 1991 newscast onKMTR-TV, the grandfather of alleged child abuse victim Stephanie Moss stated he had repeatedly given the Children's Services Division (CSD) photographic evidence of what he claimed was mistreatment of his granddaughter while she was living in the home of Philip and Lisa Kephart. The newscast further showed a number of letters Moss' grandparents say they wrote to CSD about the care, or allegedlackofit,Stephaniewas receivingathome. In the newscast, the grandparents said they were shocked and saddened by CSD's apparent inability to remove Stephanie from what they claim was an abusive home. The finger pointing in this case may be correctly directed at CSD. However, placing blame on the agency for the possible neglect and abuse of one child while U.S. society as a whole continues to shirk its responsibility for taking care of all of its children, is simplistic and ignores a pattern which is becoming all too apparent. While it is horrible to imagine the terror the six-year-old Moss must have known, what really boggles the mind is how many children in the U.S. never get a chance to reach their sixth birthday due to inadequate prenatalcare,nutritionand the conditions brought on by living in poverty. Since 1980, the amount of U.S. children living in poverty has risen from 18 percent to nearly 33. The U.S. has gone from 19th to 23rd among the developed nations of the world in preventing infant mortality and it is estimated by some nutrition experts thatoneoutoffive U.S. children don't get enough food to maintain minimum nutritional standards in order to insure proper development. commentary by robert catalano Add to these facts, the number of babies who are born addicted to some harmful substance or another, infected with AIDS or hepatitis, and those children who are either physically or sexually abused by an adult figure, and a stark and disturbing picture emerges from the bowels of the American Dream. What can be done to reverse this trend of societal neglect and indifference toward U.S. children? The first reaction the average American probably has to the question is to leave it up to either law enforcement or government to solve these problems. The second reaction is probably to send a donation • somewhere; a one-time act of charity to ease the conscience. What really needs to be done has nothing to do with passing the buck or sending one. This is a problem of perception, not dollars. Quiteafewparentsp erceive their children as possessions rather than little human beings who need care and nurturing. While it may be true children are more important possessions than say a car or a household pet, they are still for the most part looked upon as one more accou tennent for the household and treated with much the same respect. When a car runs out of gas, the owner usually feeds it gasoline. However, the owner probably would not fill his neighbor's tank out of a sense of duty. How many neighborly Americans would take a neighbor's dog to the vet simply because the neighbor could not afford the bill? Americans keep their own cars running and their pets healthy, but not someone else's. The picture begins to come into focus. America does not feel responsible for the health and welfare of its children, simply because children are viewed as possessions. Someone else's child is someone else's problem. What Philip Kephart is accused of doing to his daughter is inexcusable, what America does to its children by neglect and indifference is far worse. "I don't think they should ... I think that maybe it's about time the people in Iraq should be able to take over and do what they need to do to overthrow (Hussein) . . . it's time they figured out exactly what they wanted ... and take a stand." ------------, ,------Campus 1 I 1 Calenda r best decision for you.

On April 13, at 10 a.m., OSPIRG asks those who can, to help in the seventh annual Hunger Cleanup, a national work-a-thon to raise funds for the hungry and homeless locally, nationally, and around the world. This year's event will be kicked off in the EMU courtyard on the University of Oregon campus. Volunteers ask people to pledge a certain amount of money for a three hour segment of time during which the OSPIRG volunteer will do clean-up work. Having previously been assigned to a group, the individual will then go to one of 22 non-profit, family assistance organizations and help with fairly routine and simple maintenance work. Created by students about six years ago, the annual cleanup is a spring event coordinated by the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness (NSCAHH) and OSPIRG. In 1990 alone, 14,000 people from 112 cities raised over $200,000 to fight hunger and homelessness. Last year, accordingtoOSPIRG' s LCC Organizer Nancy Burke, the Eugene area cleanup brought in about $700 which she says was good, but not good enough. This year, OSPIRG is hoping to collect more money with a goal of over 200 workers in attendance. Fifty percent of the funds raised from the cleanup will go to the White Bird Clinic and the Looking Glass Shelter. The rest of the funds will go toward the programs sponsored by NSCAHH. Burke says it is important for those who would like to get involved in the cleanup to either get in touch with 05PIRG at a table set up in the LCC cafeteria, or to contact Mark Wagner at 747-4501, x 2166.

The April 1 ASLCC Senate meeting reflected impressions of ASLCC members who attended the Lobby Conference of the United States Student Asssociation (USSA) in Washingtion, D.C. over spring break. Cultural Director Trish Rosewood, Student Resource Center Director Ernie Woodland, and President Michael Omogrosso attended the conference. Rosewood said that a littlepublicized change in the federal budget process shocked herbecauseof its implications. The new process divides the budget into military, domestic, and international categories. Under these rules, the president sets the spending limits for each of these sections, with no transfer of money between the three categories allowed. While at the conference, Rosewood lobbied for Senator Joe Biden's (D-Delaware) Violence Against Women Act. If passed, the law would allocate to colleges money for training people to deal with victims of assault.

Araujo is living in Portland, because, she says, she has friends there. She says she cannot afford to attend LCC this term, and did not attempt to relocate in the EugeneSpringfield area. Araujo, who had returned to Brazil after last school year was denied a student visa to return to the U.S. (by the U.S. Consulate) at the beginning of the 1990-91 school year. She recently refused to discuss her visa complications, only saying that having her plans for the school year disrupted was a painful experience. She added that she had spent a great deal of energy in running for vice president, but she said "we can never really know, from one moment to the next, where life will take us." Araujo's vice president position was filled by Maya Thomas early into winter term, as a result of an ASLCC Senate vote. ASLCC President Michael Omogrosso had entertained the possibility of creating an honorary ASLCC position for Araujo. The position would have involved the same paid tuition as that of the vicepresident's position. It also would have required Araujo's participation in student government activities. The Senate was informed by a Torch reporter at the last Senate meeting of winter term that Araujo was then 90 percent certain of obtaining a visa on March 11, and that she had reserved airplane tickets for her return to the U.S. In late March, Araujo contacted Omogrosso. He told her he was unable to confirm whethertheposition would be available. The decision would have required a Senate vote. Omogrosso previously expressed concern that Araujo had not written to ASLCC members during the nine months she spent in Brazil. Araujo claimed that she had not written to anyone in the U.S. because writing in English became difficult for her after . months of using only her native Portuguese. Araujo spent the money she had been planning on using for her education in her struggle to obtain a student visa. Because of that expense, she could not attend LCC without earning her tuition through a student government position. International student tuition at LCCisapproximately $1,000 per term. Araujo says she had been considering pursuing her Broadcast & Visual Design studies part-time this term at the Oregon Art Institute in Portland. She has decided not to enroll in any classes this term, though. Student International Counselor Mason Davis says Araujo is a very positive petson, and that her tropical personality "cheers up us cold northern European-type characters." ASLCC Cultural Director Trish Rosewood says Araujo' s involvement in student government would have photo by John Unger caused ASLCC to be more Edisione Barrato de Araujo, elected ASLCC Vice President effective this year, because of last Spring Term, was unable to fulfill her duties because her dynamic personality. she was denied a student visa. Women's Center celebrates Women's History Month by Shane Wells Torch Staff Writer March was Women's History Month, but,ithasdone in the past, LCC is celebrating the theme throughout April. The reason for the extended observance, says Kate Barry, coordinator for the Woman's Program at LCC, is that March was too busy for students due to finals week and spring break. In fact, she says Woman's History Month actually started as Woman's History Week in the early 70s. In 1978, Congress voted in favor of an official month to honor women's role Bond in history. In 1983 it was declared official and has been celebrated nationally ever since, says Barry. A photo show in the Mezzanine Gallery of the library is one of the events LCC has in store this month. The by presented photos, documentary photographer LewisHine, willfeaturephotos of women workers in industrial environments from 1905 to 1940. A lecture and video presentation will also be among the even ts. "Hearts and Hands" will be presented by Elizabeth Hoffman and will be held in Forum 307 from noon until 1:30 p.m. on April 17. It deals with social movements and women's history through quilt making during the 19th century, according to Barry. New to the festivities this year will be a montage of RESERVE photographs displaying historical women or ancestors of every Woman's Center staff member. Each photo will be accompanied by a card explaining the history behind the woman. The exhibit will remain in the cafeteria throughout April.

Bond says he intends to obtain treatment at a chemical dependancy agency beginning next week. He also said he has received a "tremendous amount of support'' from several individuals on campus, and that support has "easily made this week bearable, or almost bearable." The support he has received, he says, is "very unexpected and powerful. My spirits are high." Despite his arrest, classes and support groups previously under Bond's coordination continue to meet. While Student Health Director Sandra Ing says, "Obviously, we're in chaos," she does report, "People have really worked together to see that student needs are met." Support groups coordinated by Bond are now under the direction of Bond's assistant, Melissa Vogel, according to Ing. Most of those groups are meeting as scheduled, Ing says. Students in need of additional information should contact Student Health, at ext. 2665 or Vogel, at ext. 2178. Ing adds that many local counselors who have worked with Bond in the past have called Student Health and offered counseling assistance. Interested persons should contact Ing in Student Health. Ron Mitchell, Social Science department chair, says courses taught by Bond are being currently being handled by LCC Counselor Marje Takei, and by Mary Ann Klausner, who was _ hired by the college in Bond's absence.

Enrollment Dr.D cont. from page 1 As of March 31, full and part-time enrollment were up by 285 and 660, respectively from last spring. The total headcount for all registered students at the end of the week was 7,199, compared to the 6,254 registered on March 23, 1990. However, the 6,254 students registered on March 23 of last year increased to 7,414 by the end of that quarter. Marshall believes the same situation may take place this term. ''There will be a lot more than the 7,200 shown here [by the end of the term]," he says. "Many students from Cottage Grove and Siuslaw don't register until late in the quarter." The passing of Ballot Measure 5 last November and the consequent reductions in University of Oregon and Oregon State Universityenrollmentsduetothemeasure, beginning 1992-1993, will cause an even greater infusion of new students to LCC in Fall 1991, according to Marshall. "It's our belief that we could see an additional 700 students next year because of changes in the state [college] system." Marshall says that only in the last three years has enrollment in Oregon community colleges increased. Prior to that, the system was in a continual decline before it leveled off and began to ascend. 72 perfectly timed trips to mom & dad's for dinner 35 trips to retrieve borrowed books 41 trips to the laundromat 64 trips to study with friends 3 painful trips to the dentist This year, use you Do your feet a favor and get an LTD Term Pass.

This would be an increase from $17 per class, to $11.50 per credit hour. for 12 or more credits is in response to what Vice President of Student Services Bob Marshallcallsan "unequitable practice." He says that "there is a feeling among students as well as staff that students are registering for more classes than they intend to complete, because they are free." The proposal to change the tuition ceiling, he says, is made in the hope that additional class seats will be available. LCC added 19 new sections for fall 1990, primarily in writing, math, and science to compensate for increased demand. "We lost$14,000by putting those classes on," says Marshall. "The reason for this is that perhaps only 40 percent of the class was paying tuition, the rest were getting it 'free.' " The increase in senior citizen tuition would bring in an estimated $20,233 of revenue, • Community education: Tuition would increase from the current $1.30 per class hour ($39fora30-hourclass) to$1.37 ($41 for a 30-hour class). • Nonresident and International students: Out-of-state/ international tuition would decrease from $92 per credit to $85. • High school completion: The college would eliminate the limit on tuition to that of full-time credit tuition ($276). The $39 per class would stay in effect, but students would be required to pay for each class with no tuition ceiling, an overall increase of $36.

But Robin Robbins, a student on the Tuition Committee, feels the increase is not enough. "I think it's outrageous. All students should pay their fair share. Measure 5 means LCC can't give anything away anymore." Bob Way, department head for Cooperative Work Experience (CWE), feels the proposed charge per credit policy should not apply to CWE students. "I think the idea works well in some areas, but not in the vocational sector." Way believes that once students have acquired a CWE job placement, they will not return for a second and third term of co-op if charged additionally for added credits, resulting in a loss of revenue for the college.

April 1,3 pm, Boardroom LCC's baseball team won its first Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NW AACC) conference game with a 7-6 victory on March 30 at Chemeketa Community College to cap off a 5-2 record for the month. The Titans jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning behind Kai Thillman' s two-run homer and extended their lead to 5-1 after a four-run fifth inning. Pitcher Bogey Bennett came on in the sixth inning in relief of LCC starter Mike Swanson, and earned a save by getting the final out after surrendering three Chemeketa runs in the ninth. Thillman and Aaron Thibault led the Titan offense by driving in two runs apiece. Coach Bob Foster says the Titan showing against Chemeketa may bode well for the team's chances in 1991. "Chemeketahaspla yedanumberofNW AACCteamsalread y this year and had something like a 9-3 record," Foster explains. "We may be better than a lot of teams in the conference." The Titans played April 4 against Oregon State University in Corvallis but results were not available at press time. The Titans' next game in Eugene is against Lassen (Calif.) College at Swede Johnson Field on April 6. Over Spring break, the Titans travelled to California where they split with three California teams and then returned home for a game against the University of Oregon. • On March 16, LCC won both ends of a doubleheader against Shasta College in Weed, Calif., winning the first game 4-3 and completing the sweep with an 8-5 victory in the nightcap. Kelly Robertson led the Titans to the second-game victory with a single, a double and four runs batted in. • The Titans suffered their first setback of the season in a 174 pummelling by Modesto CC on March 18. Modesto scored five runs in both the first and second innings to seal the victory. • March 20 found the Titans at Lassen College in Susanville where they suffered an 8-2 loss. • LCC returned to Oregon for a 15-3 victory on march 27 against the U of O Club team. Kelly Robertson again led the Titans with two hits and three RBIs. Although the Titans have a winning record, Coach Foster says his Titans have "been inconsistent thus far this season in the field." "Defensively we've looked both good and bad at times," says Foster. "The one thing we've done well most of the time is hit well in the clutch. "This is a good bunch of kids and we've got some potential." Deadline for filing .............................................................

According to Gary Knapp, Athletic Equipment supervisor, the new scoreboard was funded by the college. It didn't come easy though, says Knapp, "Anything capitally funded is in direct competition with every other program on campus that is asking for money." After five years on the waiting list, LCC parted with the necessary $6,000 to pay for the scoreboard which Knapp says is "well overdue." "LCC has one of the most lowly funded sports programs in the league," says Knapp. According to him, old equipment is a problem, butthe new scoreboard will be "very beneficial, especially with the state volleyball tournament coming up at the end of the Spring." In the future, the Athletic Department hopes to purchase a new public address system for the gym. ''The old one needs to be updated," says Knapp. ''The present one cu ts out all of the time." The P.A. system has also been in use since 1968. LCC track teams ready for NWAACC meets by Robert Catalano Torch Sports Editor LCC Coach Larry Callaway is extremely happy with the progress of both the men's and women's track teams thus far during the 1991 season, and is looking forward to upcoming meets in Oregon City and Gresham. 'We'll really have a chance to see just how good we are this weekend," says Callaway referring to the April 5-6 meet at Clackamas CC in Oregon City. "We've been depleted by a number of people quitting the team for one reason or another and it's going to be interesting to see how well we make up for those losses." The men's and women's team will both compete at the Mt. Hood relays in Gresham on April 12-13. "Their general attitude is very good," says Callaway. "They are supportive of each other and they know when it's okay to goof around and when it's time to get to work." The teams' early season showings would seem to prove Callaway right. During the March 15-17 weekend, individual LCC track and field participants made respectable showings at the Beaver Relays, competing in a field made up of athletes from 28 California colleges. The LCC women's team won first place in4 X 400 hurdle relay (4:40.4), second in the sprint medley (1 :52.82) and seventh in the4 X200 relay (1.56.85). In the men's events, LCC won first in the accumulated javelin throw (Joe Cowles, Eli Babbs and Jeff Reilly combined for 525'7") and first in the team pole vault standings (Ben Fozo, Steve Coxon and Jeff Gunderson combined for 41'6"). Team standings to include all events were not recorded for this meet. 'We had a great time on the road trip," says Callaway. "The worst problem I had with this team was having to pay separate restaurant bills for the men's team and the women's team." On March 30, the women's team placed first and the men captured second at the Linn-Benton CC (LBCC) track meet in Albany, Ore. LCC freshman Becky Bell won the ·tripl jump event (29'3"); Michelle Lanning won th 400-meter sprint (58.8 seconds); Shawna Krasowski placed first in the 100-meter (12.9) and the 200-meter sprints (26.7); and Renelle Jepson led the field in the 400-meter hurdles (1 :03.7). The women's team also won the 400-meter (50.5) and the mile relays (4:16.5). LCC finished the meet with 41 points, followed by Treasure ValleyCC39, LBCC34,and Blue Mountain CC 12. On the men's side of the track, Brett Yancey brought home first place in the 800-meter run (1:59.7)forLCC.JasonFleming(22.9)and Trent Magnuson (23.0) finished one-two in the 200meter sprint race. In other events, Eli Babbs won the triple jump (40'113 / 4"); Matt Griffiths won the 10,000meter (36:24.5); and Jeff Reilly soared to a first place finish in the high-jump (6'6"). In the final standings, LBCC led with 64 points, LCC 57, Blue Mountain CC 40, and Treasure Valley CC 27. Becky Bell practices hurdling in preparation for April 6 meet at Clackamas CC in Oregon City.

Torch Staff Writer With the success of their two albums, "Life's Just Bitchin'" in 1987and "Pretty Wiped Out'' in 1990, the band has been constantly travelling the country, opening for bands such as Steel Pulse, Burning Spear, and Alfa Blondy, as well as others. The new record, according to Joseph, will be a little bit different than the past two, both of which have gained praise by critics across the country. For this album, the band will be cut back on the reggae and concentrate on hard rock. Joseph says all the styles will be there, but the rock element will be thrown in people's faces much harder than the others. Their music is a colorful combination of rock, reggae, folk and soul with tight, AfroCuban rhythms. Drunk miners in Montana inspired the band's name because the musicians' hair was long. Their attitude is pure fun. They are Little Women. Originally from Colorado, the five man group formed in 1982 with intent of being a reggae band, but sounds ranging from heavy metal to country started creeping into their music. Nine years later they are well known for their pure mixture of hard rock and danceable beats, with splashes ofreggaeflavored pop.Aslead singer Jerry Joseph recently toldRollingStone, "lt'sZZTop on acid with Black Uhuru in After extensive touring, the band decided to move to Portland two years ago to join the fast growing Northwest music scene.

''The stustudents we have here are very committed (to helping the center). They've shifted their schedules ... and we've managed to cover all of our shifts." In the library, Circulation Supervisor Barbara McCall says public service comes first so the checkout counter is well-staffed, but books aren't being reshelved as quickly. Criminal Justice major Pam Cross, who fulfills her work study in the Women's Center, considered not coming back to LCC after winter term. Instead, she is now looking for a part-time job to supplement the $315 she lost from her work study award. "I know I can't count on child support," she says. "but I thought this was a sure thing. It isn't. Now I have to go back on food stamps." "I don't have any grudges against (the Financial Aid Department), they're just following their guidelines," says Cross. "(But) I would think they would have a reserve fund, so that if something like this comes up, it would balance out." LCC is not alone in its financial aid troubles.
