UO places admission
priority on AA holders

'He's safe!'

by Devan.C. Wilson .
Torch Editor

The University of Oregon Admissions Office has declared it
will give priority to transfer student applicants with an Oregon
community college associate of arts degree, at least for fall term
1991.
In a March 14 letter from U of O Admissions Director James
Buch to LCC Vice President of Students Services Bob Marshall,
Buch states, "Our commitment is to give first priority to applicants with an AA degree from an Oregon community college."
But he adds, "We want to make it clear that we value the AA
degree, but we do not want to encourage mediocre scholarship
by guaranteeing admission based just on the degree."

Flight Tech Dept. adjusting
by Kelley Egre
Torch Staff Writer

The firing of LCC Flight Tech Chair
Terry Hagberg earlier this year created
a number of changes to the Flight Technology Department.
Shortly after his notice of termination, Hagberg began his own flight
school, Avia Flight Services, in Corvallis. Hagberg' s departure also marked
the departure of Kawada Industries, a
Japanese firm which had contracted
with the LCC Flight Technology Department for training of Japanese students as helicopter pilots.
However, the loss of the Kawada
contract has had little ad verse effect on
LCC' s Flight Tech Department, according to the interim department chair.
"We actually came out of that situation pretty even," says Bob Farrand.
"The only positive revenue that came
from the (Kawada) contract was from .
the international students' tuition."
Ferrand says the LCC program lost a
number of students in helicopter training due to their transfer with Kawada
to Avia. Yet Farrand wasn't too concerned when Kawada announced its
pullout, because at that time the Kawada students accounted for less than
10 percent of the total Flight Tech enrollment.

lied a head count of about 400 students
and staff which, according to Farrand,
is very high.
"Our domestic (U.S. student) enrollment has held up quite well all year,"
he says. "I'm very pleased with it."
Last month, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) conducted an
operation and maintenance inspection
of LCC's facilities. Farrand says the
FAA has since encouraged the program
to apply for an Aviation Certification
Representative, empowered by the
FAA, to enable the program to issue
pilot certificates to its graduates without sending the students' paperwork
through the office in Portland.
"It is a positive indication of their
(FAA) confidence in our self-certification flight curriculum," says Farrand.
This year, he says LCC President

recycling program.
Lane-Ruckman is proud of
the fact that LCC is the only
community college in Oregon
to have an OSPIRG chapter.
And she says all that has to be
done to get involved with the
chapter is to demonstrate a
willingness to help.
She describes her begin- .
nings with the group last spring.
when she came back to school
after a few years absence: She
had heard about the organization from her sister and one
day saw volunteers sitting
behind a table featuring OSPIRG literature.
"I went up to the table and
asked, What can I do?' I had a
petition in my hand that day,"

Lane-Ruckman laughingly
recalls.
Since being elected chapter
chair last spring, Lane-Ruckman has switched her major to
political science. She says her
OSPIRG experience has been
invaluable.
l've learned how to run a
non-profit organization and
how to work with a board of
directors," she says.
"I had to take a crash course
in leadership, though, and I've
learned how to get organized.
I've also learned a lot about the
political process. It's been a
great experience," Lane-Ruckman adds.
She doesn't plan to seek the
position next year, but looks
11

forward to serving as group
project leader for one of the
organization's chapter subgroups which research and
study issues such as environmental awareness, grassroots
legislation and hunger and
homelessness.
Lane-Ruckman said one
person can make a difference
in the political process, though
she adds, 'Well, maybe not
alone."
"One person can get the ball
rolling and get people organized," she says. "I think the
best thing OSPIRG does is to
teach people how to make a
difference-how to go through
channels and deal with the
system."

Senate .approves ballot measure

Cancer claims /ife of
former LCC instructor

Students to vote on child care funding

by Kelley Egre

Torch Staff Writer

Torch Staff Writer

At its April 15 meeting, the ASLCC Senate
approved the placement of a child-care measure on the May student election ballot.
Passing by a narrow margin, the measure
asks that voters approve a policy mandating a
$5 per term student fee.
The funds would be directed to child care
according to the terms decided by an advisory
committee of students and administration.
Cultural Director Trish Rosewood said that
if the measure passed, it would generate$105,000
to$115,000 yearly. Students would control how
these funds are spent through the student
members of an advisory committee, according
to Rosewood.
The Senate's decision included an amendment by Senator Dan Christensen for the measure to stipulate that funds generated could only
be spent on child care.
The decision required a simple majority vote
of the Senate to pass, and the initial vote was a
tie, so ASLCC President Michael Omogrosso
cast the deciding vote. The president votes only
to break a tie.
Rosewood said that there is no child-care
program at LCC yet because funds are required
to set up a program. Rosewood said that of 500
people· surveyed this year at the photo I.D.
stand, 65% of the men and 75% of the women
said they would vote for a measure with the $5
mandatory student fee.
Senators Sabrina Panasuck and Kelley Egre
opposed the $5 fee, saying that it was too high;
that the measure would not pass because of the
amount of the fee; and - as a consequence of
the measure not passing - students would
need to wait another year to vote on implementing a plan to deal with the issue.
Christensen encouraged the Senate to approve placing the measure on the ballot in order
to be able to approach the LCC administration

Former LCC Welding Instructor Tom Arthur, 59, died
March 29 after battling cancer for 18 months.
Arthur had taught welding at LCC for 19 years, up until
his retirement on Feb. 13 of this year.
Arthur was a certified pipe welder and was skilled at
pipefitting, pump repair, and
sheet metal work.
His wife Betty says he loved
his job here at LCC.
"He was a very sincere,
loving, kind person who always thought of others first,"
she says. "He loved his job and
he loved his students very
much."
Ed Humes, a colleague of
Arthur's for about four years,
says Arthur always had a good
working relationship with LCC
staff and students- one filled
with honesty and respect.
"It was easy to like Tom
Tom Arthur
because he was so honest and
fair all of the time. No matter what, he was for the (welding)
program (here at LCC)," he says.
Humes described Arthur as an active person who especially enjoyed camping and commercial fly fishing.
From 1949-53, Arthur served in the U.S. Navy. He then
traveled to Alaska where he worked for 15 years as a civil
service welder for the U.S. Army.
In 1968, Arthur enrolled at Oregon State University
where he completed bachelor of science and master of
education degrees.
Arthur is survived by his wife, sister, fournephews, and
three step-daughters.

for support with implementing a plan, if the
measure passes.
He reminded the Senate that Child Care
Consultant David Andrews had pointed out
that the argument for needing a subsidy to have
a plan and needing a plan to have a subsidy was
"circular."
Senator Kim Poffenberger also said that the
measure was obscure in how the money would
be used. "I think it's a great idea, but it needs
more written support," he said.
Rosewood responded that the Women's
Center, Study Skills, and the Childhood Devel. opment Center, among other departments,
supported the ballot measure as written, with
plans to be implemented according to need and
available resources.
Other business
• The Senate ratified the Lane Writers' Club
as a student group and approved $50 in initial
funding but it tabled the proposal to fund $250
for the club's upcoming writing contest.
Senator Vincent Jones questioned whether
the number of entries in the contest would
justify funding the project.
The club's ad visor, English instructor Sharon
Thomas, responded that the amount of prize
money the group could offer would probably
affect the number of entries they would receive.
She said that the contest's only other source of
funding is $100 from the English Department.
Thomas also said that last week's Torch had
incorrectly announced the first prize in the
contest would be $250. She said if ASLCC does
decide to fund the contest, first prize will be
$100, second prize will be $75, and third prizes
will be $50 and include an honorable mention.
The contest's theme will focus on success at
LCC and growth through participation in student government, Thomas said. A panel composed of two faculty members and three students will judge the essays, she added.
The next Senate meeting, on April 22, will be
held in the LCC Boardroom at 3 p.m.

Grant funds microfilming· Of
Torch, past issues sought
by Claudia·G. Reid
Torch Staff Writer

Back issues of the Torch, the LCC student
newspaper, published since November oft 965,
will be preserved on microfilm, says college
archivist Michael Ridderbusch.
Most of the microfilm project's cost will be
covered by the Oregon Newspaper Microfilm
Project (OMNP), a non-profit program at the
University of Oregon library.
Ridderbusch says he applied to several granting agencies over the past year before he secured the funding from ONMP in March. LCC' s
portion will be about $300, compared to the
$1,400 it would have cost without the grant.
Ridderbusch, who was hired as the college
archivist in 1988, took on the project last year

because he believes the newspaper is an invaluable aid in recording the lives and times of LCC
students.
"I thought the most valuable service I could
do (for the school), would be to preserve the
students' newspaper because it's a record of
students, faculty, administrators and the local
community activities. To preserve the newspaper means to preserve the history of the colleg~_/' ~dder~usch said.
In preparation, Ridderbusch is attempting to
assemble a complete set of the Torch from available sources on or off campus. But, he says, gaps
still exist- particularly during the years 1966
through 1969. He asks that anyone having had
access to the Torch during those years check
attics and basements for forgotten issues. The
archivist can be reached at extension 2466.

Director brings new

twist to LCC play

t&,(l

by Tracy Brooks
Torch Entertainment Editor

"No, that's too high. I want him to be able to step up comfortably.Yes,
that's better. Where's our shortest person? Try stepping up there. Is
that a comfortable step up? Try walking. Remember, he'll be wearing
high heels and facing the audience. I don't want him looking at his feet
... I'm afraid that's too steep."
With both a firm hand and a smile on her face, guest director
Joanna Epstein directs LCC stage crew members in designing
the woods for LCC' s Performing Arts Department production of
Shakepeare' s "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
Epsteinappliedlastfall todirecttheplay when the Performing
ArtsDepartmentdecided tosolicitaguestdirector.Accordingto
Audience Development Specialist Myrna Seifert, the department wanted someone who would bring an interesting twist to
the play, yet "keep the language pure."
"I've been driving them crazy," says Epstein, who says she
demands perfect oration for Shakespeare's comedy. For example, she says, Oregonians have a tendency to pronounce the
word "to" as "tuh," which can negatively affect the delivery of
Shakepeare' sword.
Epstein resides in Portland, but moved to Eugene for the
course of the play so that she could devote herself to the project
full-time. On top of her work with the production, Epstein is a
single mother with a newborn baby.
"I'm highly sleep-deprived, but I'm still very excited about
this. I wouldn't have said no to this project for anything," she
laughs.
Epstein has a wealth of experience in the drama field, but especially with "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
She says she learned the play inside and out, when she appeared in it 75 times as a summer performer exactly 20 years ago
in the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
"I think it's difficult to have a substitute for that kind of experience," she says.
Among her other accomplishments area bachelor's in Theatre ,
Arts from Humboldt State University, and a master's in Fine
Arts degree from the University of Minnesota. She has appeared
in several films and boasts numerous commercial credits.
Although her emphasis for many years was acting, she has
taken to directing in recent years. Her most recent directing project was in the New Rose Theatre production of "Road," for
which she secured the Portland Area Drama Critic's Award
nomination for Best Director, among others.
When the play opens, Friday, April 26, Epstein says she will
return to Portland, allowing Stage Manager Richard MacKenzie
to take over.

LCC hosts Shakespearean comedy
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Entertainment Editor

It will combine outrageous" costumes, an
innovative sound design, and a special directing approach - it's the LCC Performing Arts
Department's production of "A Midsummer
Night's Dream."
A Shakespearean comedy, "A Midsummer
Night's Dream" is a tale involving the Duke of
Athens, Theseus (played by Dan Pegoda), who
is marrying Hippolyta (Maya Thomas), the
Queen of the Amazons.
To entertain the n~wly wed king and queen
on their wedding night, a group of working
class people (mechanicals) are planning to perform a play for the new queen and king. They
are practicing in the woods, so that nobody will
discover their theatrical tricks.
At the same time, two sets of lovers, Hermia
(Jami Teran) and Lysander (Jeremy Works),
and Demetrius (Michael Wilson) and Helena
(Amanda Coleman) descend into the woods in
the midst of love troubles.
_
Also in the woods are the King and Queen of
the faeries,Oberon (Patrick Torelle) and Titania
(ValerieStevens), whoarewarringoverahuman
child, who is in Titania's possession.
Guest Director Joanna Epstein, uponfinding
that LCC did not want the play set traditionally,
decided to set it in modern times.
"A lot of directors in the past 200 years have
messed around with when the setting is and I
think the most important reason directors do
thatistoseeiftheycancommunicateittoacontemporary audience. That's the important
thing .. •. •
"It' snot going to do any good at all to keep
ii

everything absolutely in Shakespeare's time if
it doesn't mean anything to us," she says.
Epstein says the main problem in setting the
play in a modern time frame is re-creating the
faerie world, of which there is no equivalent.
The Athenians' world can be played with, because they're human, she says, but the faerie
world isn't anything contemporary audiences
believe in.
She decided that the chaos in the woods
resembled, "going into your own unconscious,
and the faeries are the dark part of ourselves
that we don't always admit to."
Following her modem vein, she cast Hippolyta as a female world class athlete, and
Theseus as a popular politician in charge of
Athens.
Although the play is untraditionally carried
out in costuming and setting, the language of
the play, Epstein stresses, is completely unchanged from Shakespeare's original play.
"I'd like to think Shakepeare would approve
of the fun we're having with this," she says.
The costumes are designetl by faculty member Kathryn Linn. James McCarty is the set
designer, Skip Hubbard is the technical director, Melissa Letcher is the assistant director and
Richard MacKenzie is the stage manager.
Heather Perkins is the sound designer for the
play. Using synthesized sounds, she created a
series of different sound effects as well as the
musical score.
The play will open Friday, April 26 at 8 p.m.
in the LCC Main Theatre. Running for three
weekends, tickets range from $4-$6, and are
available by calling the LCC Box Office at 7262202.

LCC show exhibits three dimensions of art
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Entertainment Editor

Three LCC artists who usually work behind
the scenes will take the spotlight in a three dimensional sculpture, jewelry, and ceramic show.
Alex Lanham, Gary Stanfield, and Brooke
Stone-studioassistantsatL CC-willexhibit
their work beginning April 22, and continuing
through May 10.
A reception for the artists will be held in the
LCC Art Department Gallery Friday, April 26,
from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Studio assistants are employees of the college, chosen by the art department each spring
term to run and maintain the art workshops for
the following year.
As part of the award, the assistants exhibit
their work in a college-sponsored show.
Stanfield will show nine sculpture pieces,
three of which are contemporary. The remaining pieces will follow his usual medium, which
is representational sculpture ("You can look at
it and tell what it is," explains Stanfield). The
focal point of the show, he says, will be a piece
titled "Brain Salad Surgery."
Stanfield is represented in a number of galleries around the state. A professional sculptor,
he has attended LCCatdifferentintervalsin the
past. He became the sculpture studio assistant

at a time when he says he was trying to rediscover his profession.
"They couldn't get rid of me, so they hired
me," he says.
Lanham assists in the ceramics studio. In his
first show, he will exhibit a few of the pieces
which he terms "ugly pots." This name is his
response to what he says is a common belief that
pottery should be pretty, symmetrical, and
clean-lined. His work is none of these, he says,
thus prompting the name.
"I'm really pleased with them," he says of the
pieces. "They... make me feel good."
The great thing about art, he says, "It is
immediate gratification."
Stone assists in jewelry-metalsmithing. Her
art, she says, is the continuing thread that runs
through her life. Having trained in the LCC
Jewelry-Metalsmithingprogram,Stonesaysshe
is ready to branch out and work professionally.
Her experience as a studio aide has been "invaluable," she says.
"I really, really appreciate the experience,"
she says. In the show, she will display pieces
such as earrings and "elaborate collector-type
pieces."
The gallery is located on the first floor of the
Math and Arts Building. The hours are Monday
through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Fridays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The LCC women excelled by winning four ou tof

on April 13 and finished sixth overall in the 10-team
meet. The men finished eighth.
"Everyone did really well in the races we competed in," said Titan coach Larry Calloway explaining his teams' finishes. "It was just a question of not
having enough bodies to add to the point totals."
The women won in the 400-meter, the 1600meter, the 4 x 200 medley, and the sprint medley.

A's will repeat, Blue Jays shouldn't fold in East
After one week of play in
the current Major League Baseball season, it is apparent the
Oakland Athletics can win the
American League West without Ricky Henderson in the
lineup and that the George Bellless Toronto Blue Jays will win
the A.L. East.
American League West

The Oakland Athletics (A's)
are 6-2 in the first week of the
1991 seasonal though they won
a game when Dave Stewart was
five runs down and did not get
a win from 1990,27-game winner Bob Welch.
This proves the A's can win
ev:en when their best players
are not in the lineup or are
giving subpar performances.
A team with pitchers like Stewart, Welch and Dennis Eck-

ersley, and with hitters like
Dave and Ricky Henderson, ·
Jose Canseco and Mark
McGwire, has a good solid
winning nucleus. The A's have
won the division four consecutive times and 1991 will probably make it five.
Picking the second place
finisher in the A.L. West is the
most difficult prediction of all,
but in all likelihood it will be
the Chicago White Sox.
This team will be exciting.
The Palehose will be better able
to manufacture runs with the
speed and hitting ability of Tim
(Rock) Raines, acquired from
Montreal, and hold their opponents with fine pitching and
defense. The pitching staff is
young, but it will be in the

catcher Carlton Fisk.

continued from page 1

The Math Department will add the new sections from 2 p.m.
to 7 p.m., according to Reimer, because "that's the only time I
have room."
He says he feels the time the classes are offered will have Ii ttle
impact on enrollment for the sections. "We didn't offer any
classes this year that didn't fill."
The proposal calls for the hiring of part-time instructors to
teach the additional sections. James Cagney, chair for the group
as well as the Business Department, says finding the new teachers will be relatively easy.
"Eugene has been described to me as over-educated and
under-employed," says Cagney. "There are a lot of highly educated people in the community looking for work."
The charge per credit policy adopted by the LCC Board of
Education is expected to pay for the added classes, according to
Reimer. He says lack of funds has been the primary constraint in
adding the new sections.
"This last fall, I could have added numerous sections in
regard to demand, but we didn't have the money or classroom
space," he says.
The Transfer Study Group hopes the implementation of the
policy charging for all credits will enable LCC to adopt a general
self-support agenda for adding more sections.
Departments with an unfulfilled demand for specific classes
would be able to offer additional sections on a self-support basis.
This would mean that classes 'COuld be added if the instructional costs were fully covered by tuition from students attending that particular class.
Cagney says he believes this would eventually give the individual departments greater autonomy, and cut out some of the
red tape involved with adding new sections.
• "If you want to respond to the community, you should be able
to add sections to meet the community demand, if you can do it
financially," he says.
Cagney concedes that it may take a while for LCC to get to a
platform of self-support, but says this will give the school a
chance to dynamically respond to the community as the community changes.
"I would hope that we will be able to make more timely
decisions about which classes will fill, and open up sections as
we see the need," adds Reimer. He says he also believes the
recommendations will create a more rapid response to increased
demand.
Cagney says it's likely that only a portion of the proposed new
classes will be awarded to the departments which request them.
"I asked for 10 new sections in the Business Department for next
fall; if I get five of them, it would really be improving a lot."
The report also stated that while demand for transfer classes
far exceeded LCC' s resources in the 1990 /91 academic year, it is
predicted that next year's demand will be even greater due to
cuts at the U of 0.

The U ofOapplicationdeadline for admission for fall term
1991 for transfer students is
May 15. Under normal U of 0
admission policy, resident
transfer students must carry a
minimum GPA of 2.25 to be
eligible for admission. Individual departments within the
university may have additional
admission requirements.
In his letter to Marshall,
Buch states that transfer students who have a cumulative
GPA between 2.0 and 2.25 will
be reviewed on a case-by-case
basis, after students wit!l a

stronger records - including
students who have not earned
an AA degree - have been
evaluated. "Decisions of low
GPA AA holders will not be
made until early summer, and
admission will depend on
space availability," Buch states
in the letter.
This policy will only apply
to AA degree holders, and not
to associate of science or associate of general studies degree
holders.
Buch was unavailable for
additional comment this week.

However, on April 18, U of 0
Associate Director Admissions
MarthaPittsconfirmed Buch's
statements in the letter to
Marshall.
Pitts says the admission
policy currently applies only
to fall term 1991 admission. As
for admission beyond fall term
1991, Pitts says, "We're not
looking that far ahead yet."
She says her office is currently stalled in developing further policy determination, due
to negotiations between the U
of O and the Oregon State Legislature.

Interested in attending MSU?

JayneeGroseth,directorofAdmissionsatMontanaStateUniversity,conferswithtwo
LCC students about the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) Program, which
allows Oregon residents to attend MSU at a discounted tuition rate (see the April 26
issue of the Torch for further coverage on the WUE Program).

Student Associates, Ambassadors being hired
by Shane Wells
Torch Staff Writer

The Student Associates and
the Student Ambassadors are
two different groups with the
same purpose: to help students
help themselves.
Positions within the two
groups are being filled for the
1991-92 school year.
The Student Service Associates (SSA) are a group of twenty
students trained to assist the
LCC counseling staff. The
program was established in
1970 by former LCC Counselor
Patrick Fraleigh, and has been

going strong every since.
Julia Poole, the SSA coordinator and a counselor at LCC,
says the program is great for
people who enjoy helping others and is very rewarding.
"This program could be valuable to people who want to
, upgrade their social skills," she
says. Poole was an associate
while attending LCC in 1972.
Poole says the primary responsibility of an associate is
to work in the Career Information Center. Other duties include helping at program orientation sessions for new stu-

dents; encouraging and assisting students at the ClassLine
Registration Assistance Center;
providing information at the
counseling desk; tutoring for
Study Skills classes; and offering knowledge of campus resources.
Student Ambassadors, on
the other hand, are hired to
help potential students. The
purpose of an ambassador is to
acquaint high school students
with LCC programs, services,
advantages, and the campus,
among other campus tour activities.

Each year, two students are
chosen to be Student Ambassadors and the requirements
are slightly stricter than those
of an associate. •
To be an ambassador, one
must be a recent high school
graduate, (within three years),
have a positive attitude about
LCC, have a good rapport with
high school students, have
work experience relevant to the
position, have public speaking
background, earn a good
G.P.A. at LCC, and have an
outgoing personality.
