Ballot Measure 1, asking students to mandate raising student fees by $5 per term to establish a fund to aid students in meeting on-campu s child care needs, received the approval of 76 percent of the voters - 350-108. Ballot Measure 2, asking students to designate 3 percent of the first $5 in student fees for the publication the LCC literary arts magazine, Denali, received 68 percent of votes cast - 313-144. ASLCC Cultural Director Trish Rosewocx:l, who drafted the childcare measure, says, "I really want to thank the students on behalf on the children." Rosewood says LCC students have asked for years to solve the problems of meeting childcare needs. "I've felt a lot of support for it from them," she says. Management and administration of the funds will be controlled by student members of the Child Care Advisory Committee, according t0 Rosewood . An organizat ion meeting of the committee was held Thursday , April 9. However, Rosewood says, "Membership is not limited to those in attendance." Denali Editor Robin Robbins says, "Obviously I'm elated. I think it's wonderfu l to have such a strong affirmation from the student body for a student publication." In the past, editors of Denali have been forced to use fundraising activities to secure supplemental funding, often from ASLCC, for publication. Robbins says this measure will allow future editors to concentrate on producing the highest quality magazine, and educating the students about Denali's existence. - --.■--,-~--~~&•-= ~ NOW IF O/.Jt_,y w~ covio_ ~~, "'P "t"c-t-c4 Editor Devan Wilson Sports Editor Robert Catalano Assoc.

The latter is an issue that after almost 30 years of hibernation has again risen to a .level of controversy. , On May 3, Eugene lawyer Charles Porter, representing a group of clients, filed suit in U.S. District Court against the city calling for the removal of the cross. A brief history of the cross: Erected 27 years ago by two Eugene businessmen, John Alltucker of Eugene Sand & Gravel and Jay Oldham of Oldham Crane Service, the new cross replaced a decaying wooden version. In the mid 1960s a complaint was brought before the city council contending that the cross infringed on guarantees of separation of church and state. In 1969, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled in agreement, and ordered for the removal of the cross. However, in 1970, Eugene voters approved a charter amendment dedicating the cross as a memorial to war veterans, The Oregon Supreme Court's 1969 ruling was set aside. Now nearly 30 years later., Porter sensestp.~t tnomentumis onhisside;,RecentSupremeCourtrulin~regarding crosses and other religious symbols on public property.leq Porter to the conclusion that the latest in Skinner's cross complaints will be an open~and-shut case if it goes tQ court. However, the Torch contends that the issue of separation of church and state,. in this case, is moot. Crosses grace many war monuments and memorials throughout the.country. Crosses grace the tombstones of those buried in Arlington National.Cemetary. Crosses grace the grounds at Gettysburg National Park. The use of a cross in war memorials is intended as a monument •of sacrifices to a higher ideal - defense of country and home. The citizens of Eugene cast a.vote .of confide11~e to the Skinner's cross as a representation of sacrifices to a higher ideal, by amending the city charter in 1970.

Page2 May 10, 1991 The Torch '-~ J Take 'pro-active' action at LCC I blew it! Please accept my apologies, you the student I essentially chastised for in-action and apathy in the (April 26) issues of the Torch! I was reacting instead of finding a pro-active way to increase student participation. I just came back from a conference in Los Angeles of the California Association of Community Colleges (CalSACC). I was invited to attendasarepresentativeof ourOregonequivalent, CCOSAC, and additionally used the opportunity to survey student apathy and student government outreach. What I found was urban and inner-city students get more involved than thesuburbanand rural commuter students. Those students are more vocal in their involvement, too. Schools with dorms or student housing had higher involvement. I gather this to mean the further students must travel, the harder it is to get them to remain on campus for activities, both social and political. Participation tends to be cyclic for all campuses in a year-to-year perspective. Our student population is commuter, tends to be parents and generally are job holders besides, and so we, understandably, have a difficult time getting students to remain after classes for events or committee work. .···············w: This scenario described me to-a-tee during myfirsttwoyearsat Lane, but my program was under the budget axe causing me to attend a meeting to speak out. Well, I just couldn't stop. WhHe that's a great example of reactive partici- forum by michael omogrosso pation, frankly, if you wait to respond until a problem exists for you personally, the struggle to resolve that problem is all up hill. Pro-action, as I see it, is getting involved in the system to fend off potential problems and, most certainly, to move toward resolution of those problems that do ~xist. An example is Ballot Measure 5. There were those people faculty, student and staff - who saw pending devastation of education financing and got out the vote to defeat 5 in Lane County. Sadly, we are now pro-active in the state legislature to secure fiscal stability for education.

This photo, of a non-student Marines Reservist, reflected little of students' interests or concerns. On the day that issue of the Torch wentto print, I spent two hours (that I had set aside to study for a mid-term) to listen toand photographamanof far more significance to this land than the corporate mercenary hidden behind his loved (exploited?) one's hair in that photo. The man I listened to, Al Smith, is a "71 years young" local Klamath Native American whose admitted sacramental use of peyote/unemployment compensation claim controversy went to the U.S. Supreme Court. Smith spoke eloquently, on campus, to Ingrid Gram's native American Anthropology class on May 2. When comparing the marine' s photo with Al Smith's photo, I thought of the current Comic News' front page cartoon. A patriotic U.S. citizen asks how the Iraqi government Turn to Pro-active, page 4 =tntY·':::·:·····.··:,:···········::;_:>+~ :.:=:= ........... \ ..........: l could kill indigenous people and take their land. A Native American responds, "You tell me, paleface." The photo of Smith included three ASLCC leaders (one of them a Native American). I find the Torch's criticism of ASLCC absurd. The Torch has repeatedly failed to show stands taken by these dedicated individuals, and has castigated them for a lack of visibility. As a member of the Torch staff and an ASLCC reporter, my frustration is exceeded only my embarrassment. John Unger . opinion poll Question of the week: Do you feel there was enough time between the ASLCC elections filing deadline (April 17) and the student elections (May 6-8) to allow students to access information on the candidates and the issues? Jack Gartley Liberal Arts "I feel that there should have been at least a week more, due to the fact that this is towards (the middle) of the term. Students have been studying and wouldn'.t have enough time to look at the candidates and decide which one is better ... " Debi Vince Psychology "No. I spend a lot of time on campus and I know nothing, basically, about anybody ... all of a sudden last week they put up posters, or the week before, and it's like there's not enough information." Sherry Farley Associate of Arts Bradley Perkins Electronic Engineer Ryan McIntire Business Management Andrea Dahl Undecided "I would say no, because I didn't find out about it, because I was so busy with mid-terms - a big 'no.'" "It don't really matter to me 'cause I don't vote." "I haven't heard a whole lot about what issues and stuff like that ... I don't really know what the candidates stand for and what the issues really are ... I don't think there has been enough time." "No ... I only became aware of the election like this week and it was like, well, we're expected to vote and I didn't know anything about any of the candidates or anything like that ... I have no idea what their platform is at all."

Native American culture is rich in spirituality. Elders would pass on their know ledge to younger generations through oral stories. On May 2, Al Smith told his story to Ingrid Gram's Native American Anthropology class. He is just one of the millions, past and present, that America has stripped and deserted on land where our Smith, a recovering alcoholic, took the sacred peyote in search of spiritual awareness. During thattime, (1985), Smith was employed at ADAPT, a drug and alcohol counseling center in Roseburg. He was subsequently fired and denied unemployment benefits due to the fact that mescaline was found in his routine urine test. by tony rice • Smith took his "case" to the U.S. SupremeCourtwhere they ruled in favor of Oregon's Bill of Rights. Smith lost. Not only did Smith lose, but all of the indigenous people who walk this proud land lost. After nearly 500 years of oppression, it hasn't stopped. It still goes on.

Smith said, "There are many paths up the mountain, even though some of us choose different paths, we all shall reach the top." America is denying access to the top. Smith is not bitter in his stand against the government, instead he is proud. Long ago, he gave into temptation and sold "his" part of the reservation to the government for $42,000.

Both Woodland and Uquilla expressed relief that not only had they won the election, but that the campaigning process was finally complete. "One thing I do know is how a politician feels," Woodland says. Uquilla credits the efforts of all the individuals who worked with her and Woodland on their campaign.

Though she credits the work of LCC counselors in aiding international students, she says, "What they ... needisastudenttohelpthem." Craig, the current ASLCC communications director, was unavailable for comment Thursday, May 9. However, his running mate, Rice, says though he is disappointed that their ticket did not win the election, he is by no means bitter, and in fact, plans to seek continued involvement with ASLCC next year. Tony Rice Uquilla, a native of Ecuador, says addressing the needs of international students is one of her top priorities She wants to aid international students in their transition from their homelands "My ego wasn't so pumped up that I fell too far (by not being elected)." Rice currently serves as a senator. He adds that if elected as vice president, he would have been just another student acting as a representative, "just being a funnel for the voices." Rice says he intends to apply for the Student Resource Center (SRC) director's position, which is appointed by the student body president. "It's still all positive tome. I may not have gotten what I wanted, but (involvement next year with ASLCC) still looks good to me." Rice, a Native American, says he feels he can provide more than just "normal" studentrepresentation. "I feel I'm an ambassador for Native Americans, so let me be the measuring stick in breaking down stereotypes." In addition to the SRC director post, thecommunicationsdirector'sposition is to be appointed by the new president. Applications for those posts are available from Beauchaine in the ASLCC office, Center 479. 'Pho-nathon'I to be staged to raise funds by Kelley Egre Torch Staff Writer "BRRRIINNGGG ... BRRINNG!" "Hello?" "Hello, LCC graduate? I'm a volunteer from Lane Community College and I am calling to ask ..." LCC administrators have been looking for new ways to raise money for educational purposes, such as extra department funds and possibly new equipment. The LCC Foundation Director Joe Farmer says a phonathon is one way to go. "I have done it at other colleges and it was successful," he says, "and I think it will be successful here." The May 13-16 phonathon will involve a number of LCC staff and some student volunteers asking for monetary contributions from about 5,000 LCC alumni and friends. Those reached will asked to pledge only what they can afford to contribute. "I figure, from having done this before, that only 20-25 percent of the individuals we talk to will respond positively and contribute," he says. During each of the four evenings, the volunte~rs will attend a training session, aimed at preparing them to present "low key" solicitations, at 5:30 p.m. "Then we will have pizza and soft drinks for them before they begin calling at 6 p.m. until eight," says Farmer. Farmer says although he plans to make mostly local calls throughout the phonathon, he thinks the fundraiser will be successful in its first year. "I think it's one of the best ways to solicit funds from alums and friends, and considering it's new to Lane, I think it should do q:uite well," he says. Those interested in participating in the phonathon can contact Farmer at the Foundation office, second floor of the Administration, or call ext. 2810.

Included in the stipend are monies for student Dan Clark to attend a national competition, and for two other LCC students to attend a state debate meet. • A stipend of $250 for Soviet student Eric Kalashnikov will help him pay book costs and incidental fees while at LCC. He is the first exchange student from the Irkutsk State Teacher's Training Institute of Foreign Languages in the USSR. Kalashnikov's Institute in Irkutsk is reciprocating the gesture by assisting LCC student Mark Harris while he is studying in Irkutsk this term. The Senate aiso approved a proposal to fund a goodwill reception for Kalashnikov. Students will be invited for refreshments and a slide show. Funds approved are not to exceed $100. The date for the reception has not yet been set. • The Senate unanimously approved $150 in food for the annual ASLCC Transitional Retreat. The intent of the retreat is to orient the incoming senate members and to discuss possible continuity of current ASLCC projects, and brainstorm new goals, according to ASLCC Secretary Jeannee Beauchaine. Also discussed was the possibility of allowing a spouse or children to attend the retreat at their own expense. Beauchaine pointed ou ttha t the retreat is indeed a business meeting, and in the past, people attending with families have stayed in campgrounds close by. ASLCC President Michael Omogrosso suggested this be the case for the upcoming retreat. Other business: • Senator Kim Poffenberger recommended amending the ASLCC Constitutional by-laws concerning mandatory student fees, the procedures for filling ASLCC vacancies, and evaluations of ASLCC officers. The Senate tabled the recommendations until members can conduct further research. • Student Resource Center (SRC) Director Ernie Woodland proposed improvements to the SRC' s billboards, namely to hinge the units so they take up less space and are not fire hazards. The billboards are located next to the library exit doors.Woodland also asked the Senate to fund the repair of a digital reader board. He estimated the cost of both to be $200-$250. Woodland also proposed an expansionof theSRCitself. Thecounterwould be moved out about three feet towards where the microwave and sea ting area are currently. The expansion would also include more work space for SRC employees. ''This would make it more accessible to disabled students, so they can work here also," says Woodland. All proposals were tabled until posted and circulated by Woodland. photo by Erin Naillon Field burning debated Ruby Ringsdorf of the Oregon Seed Council and Women for Agriculture presents Instructor Jerome Garger with a packet of grass seed.

The topic of 'men' is littered with misconceptions Men are this, men are that. You've heard the rhetoric. mention excellent communication skills. In response, the following statements are an attempt to dispel or disprove some common misconceptions about men. • Men never make "missteaks:" This is not true. Men have been known to incorrectly think they were wrong, but in the end, the final result proved men were only "missteaken" in actually thinking they were wrong. The stubbornness inherent in the male • Men are more crude than women: Forthemostpart, this is true. However, while it is truethatmenhavebeenknown to grab their crotches and spit tobacco juice simultaneously, they don't do it immediately after singing the Star Spangled Banner. Rosanne Barr must be an exception to the rule. • Men don't listen when being talked at: After many years of strictly controlled laboratory study, it has been proven that men, in fact, do listen, but only when spiteful venom is removed from conversation. Other studies show the lack of attentiveness is due to the excessively high levels of volume and concentration during football season. • Men don't whine: This is also untrue. Just because men don't roll their eyes and throw household objects when denied important privileges such as bowling and all-night grog fests, doesn't mean they don't whimper just a little. Men flat outpout. Thisshowsoutstanding restraint and control, not to satire by woodrow hardly ego prevents the admission of wrongdoing, except when certain behaviormodificationsare enacted - namely, electroshock therapy or the everpopular home lobotomy kit. • Men only want women for one thing: What self-respecting male would only want a woman for sex when he can experience the exquisite pleasure of having all his money spentatthe local mall, have his freedom restricted from nights out with the boys, and being yelled at for some inconsequential behavior he can't remember doing. Besides, the anatomical parts men really want don't come off. • Men are better drivers: This is true when speaking about automobiles. How many of us have witnessed the awesome spectacle of the womanwho-a pp lies-eyeliner while driving 65 mph south on 1-5? On the other hand, men tend to probe certain nasal cavities while stuck in rush-hour traffic or at a stop light. Who's to say which is worse? the winter time, or in the back seat of a Yugo.

Those goals center around helping students be successful in their academic lives, their personal lives, and their careers," Paez said in a May 9 phone interview from Texas.

Bookstore manager post filled by interim Dutton feels the bookstore can finally begin to move forward again. "I'm really excited," Dutton says. "A new atmosphere in the bookstore is coming. It won't be fast, but it's coming." She says she especially looks forward to a point-of-sale computer system being installed. The system, which lets cashiers scan barcodes for price and quantity, insures students of monetary accuracy and permits an up-to-date inventory to be maintained. It's also a good way to control shrinkage costs, she says. By Claudia G. Reid Torch Staff Writer Interim LCC bookstore manager Shelley Dutton has been chosen as the new books tore manager, according to Jack Powell, search committee chair. Dutton was chosen from 63 applicants obtained from a nationwide search, he says. Powell said the hiring process was very thorough with applicants assigned points based ona number of criteria, sucha'.~education, bookstore experience and computer knowledge. He said that emphasis was placed on applicants with a history of being effective supervisors. "It was important to us that whomever we hired have good people skills," he says. Dutton began working at the LCC bookstore in March, 1982. Since then she has served as receptionist, invoice clerk, bookdepartmentclerk,assista ntmanager ,d book department buyer, before her photo by Dana Krizan Shelley Dutton appointment as interim manager last summer. She says she feels the bookstore has been somewhat "in limbo" since Georgia Henrickson's retirement last June. But now that a manager has been selected, "If we can get the system installed within five years, I'll be happy." Henrickson said she couldn't think of anyone better for the position. "She's just tops," says Henrickson. "She'll be a real asset to the bookstore and the college." Powell says that formal approval of Dutton's appointment will need to come from LCC's Board of Education at the monthly meeting on Wednesday,May 15. Even Dr. D can't prescribe a translation to education plan Dear Dr. Decorum, I'm concerned about the federal government's new plan for education. It recognizes that there are serious problems with American education, but the plan announced seems nebulous, except to say there will be no new federal dollars. What's going on? Ben Franklin Keep your working parts in order. \tVE'RE FIGHTING Fm OJRLIFE co' ~ ')fl ~ American Heart \ Association Page6 May 10, 1991 v, The Torch • Dear Ben, The President's plan is being translated into a legislative package, which hopefully will give it form and substance. In my least optimistic moments I think that the federal government - which has sold our children as indentured servants to the national debt - is now preparing an educational caste system. An optimistic view is equally difficult to maintain at present when considering the State of Oregon's murky vision on educational funding. The words flotsam and jet- sam frequently come to mind when I think of educational planning - and the word heroic when I think of educators. In answer to your question, right now I can't quite discern what's going on. Dr.D Dear Dr. Decorum, This is my last term at LCC and it's-kind of a bittersweet experience for me. I'm happy to be able to go on with my plans, but I'll miss the positive feelings and new friends I've made while on campus. Juliet Capulet Dear Juliet, I think I understand this bittersweet feeling - like getting five numbers out of six in the lottery, like feeling the ecstasy of know ledge which makes you realize how much you've yet to learn, like making sacrifices to earn a better life. Look at the bright side though. You can keep in touch with your friends, and LCC will be here whenever you decide you want to return. And good memories can be treasured for a lifetime. Dr.b Dear Dr. Decorum, Whathappened? ThePresident was having heart irregularities, and was supposed to undergo shock therapy to cure it. Then he just went back to work. What's going on? Frank N. Stein Dear Frank, This procedure would have involved making Dan Quayle President for two hours while Mr. Bush was sedated, and apparently this was shock enough. Actually, another course of treatment was prescribed,and we all hope for the President's continued health. Dr.D Japanese student' finds American experience a pleasure 'Family' facilitates cultural transition by Jim Forst for the Torch Dec. 25, 1989: While many people up and down the Willamette Valley celebrated Christmas Day exchanging gifts, Mioko Suzuki of Saitama,Japan rolled down a wintry Interstate 5 from Portland on a Greyhound bus heading for Eugene. valved in the community, according to Pat Williams, coordinator of the college's International Students Community Program. Through the Host Renter Program, LCC places an international student in the home of a local family which has a spare room to rent; through theHostFamilyprog ram, the college fbds a family with pnoto y 1m orst Mioko Suzuki and LCC Board Chair Jim Pitney laughingly admire eggs collected from Pitney's Junction City farm. Mioko readily agrees today that she was excited, yet nervous and lonely that December day, and thought of herself as a "stranger" as she prepare for her arrival in Lane County. She had spent part of November and December at the University of Portland, polishing her English with other Japanese students. Nevertheless, she was unsure of her ability to communicate in a country she was visiting for the first time. But Mioko didn't have to worry about being alone. A local family she had met in early December during an LCC New Student Orientation greeted Mioko warmly as she stepped off the bus at the Eugene bus depot. Julie Baker and her two teenage daughters, Lasann and Liz, took Mioko to their home where she would rent a room during her first year at LCC. Thus began Mioko' s participation in the first of three programs developed in 1989 to assist LCC' s international students: The Host Renter, Host Family, and Friendship Family programs. Through family contacts, they provide an alternative to apartment living for the students and encourage them to get in- the ability to provide a free room to a student, as well as some special activities; and through the Friendship Family program LCC matches an international student with an American family which can provide cultural and social opportunities for the student while he/ she lives in another home or apartment. As Host Renters, in addition to providing her with a room to rent, the Bakers also invited Mioko the use of their kitchen and laundry facilities. From helping her learn the local bus system to finding the nearest grocery stores, family members helped her get acquainted with the city, says Baker, who works for the LCC Office of Instruction in Curriculum and Scheduling. They also made a point of including Mioko in family activities whenever possible - from shopping at Valley River Center, to attending a performance of the Eugene Ballet. Baker viewed her position as Host Renter as an opportunity to become a "goodwill ambassador for the United States." Mioko also had the chance to serve as an "ambassador" for Japan. While Baker was working on a personal proj- ect last spring at Buena Vista/ Meadowlark Elementary Schools, Mioko assisted two second grade classes with their studies on Japan. "(Mioko) went to the school one day and read a story in Japanese for the students," Baker recalls. Mioko also "talked to them a little bit about Japanese customs and answered some of the questions they had related to th_eir studies .... It was a wonderful experience for the kids. They wrote her 'thank you' notes. She was really thrilled." Not all of Mioko' s learning took place in classrooms, though. Before the 1990 spring break, she asked Williams for a chance to experience life on an American farm. Williams contacted LCC Board Chair Jim Pitney, who, with his wife Betty, owns a grass seed farm and raises pheasants, quail, geese and cowsinJunctionCity . ThePitneys agreed to host Mioko for 10 days that March. "I would feed the cows and pick the eggs," Mioko remembers today, smiling. "It was good to experience." "She held the pheasants while I worked on them and that is pretty scary," says Pitney, recalling Mioko's help with the difficult job of clipping the birds' wings. "She's a good sport." Because of her Friendship Family relationship with the Pitneys, the young Japanese student-dressed in Scandinavian costume - served meals during Junction City's annual Scandinavian Festival from?' "she says with a laugh as she runs her hand through her jet black hair. Miokoalso stayed a month with host renters Greg and Corlies Delf and their family, and spent her summer days with her tutor, Ruth Gross, before finding an apartment to share with an American LCC student, Sharma Koenig, last October. Perhaps because young women in Japan rarely have the opportunity to live on their own in an apartment, Mioko admits she wishes she could stay in America after she graduates this June with her associate of arts degree. "I asked my parents if I could stay two more years to transfer to a four-year college, 'J would feed the cows and pick the eggs ... it was good to experience.' Mioko Suzuki but they said 'no,' " says Mioko, who explains that she had promised her parents to return after two years. She misses her family very much, and the fact that they miss her is evidenced by the numerous packages they routinely send her from Japan. Her parents often include little Japanese dolls to pass on to her friends as a sign of their appreciation for those people gether the S.O.M.E.

She also assists with the planning of upcoming events such as LCC' s International Night being held this year on May 24, or just visits with the many people who drop in at the Center. One of her recent visitors asked Mioko if she has any pictures of her family. She carefully pulled a half dozen photographs out of a white envelope. However, these were not snapshots of her familyinJapan, butphotosof the various families with whom she has lived during her Oregon visit. "They're so nice," she beamed, proud to acknowledge her gratitude to her American families. "I am very lucky." While pointing out a photo of the Pitneys taken during the Scandinavian Festival, Mioko's attention is distracted by a familiar looking, silver-haired gentleman who enters the Multi Cultural Center. "It's him! It's him! It's Mr. Pitney!" she exclaims, leaping to her feet excitedly and pointing to the photograph now in the visitor's hand. Embracing her warmly, Pitney apologizes to Mioko for not inviting her over for Easter. He need not worry.

Not this time. How about, "A lot of our guys got hooked on heroin over there, more so than the government is willing to admit." Forty-two-year-old Dennis Wiley sighs, takes a drag off his cigarette, and continues. Wiley was planning a career in the military. But, he says, in early 1971, during his second tour of Vietnam, the horror of the battlefield became unacceptably grotesque. "After I saw a Vietnamese child on a gurney with her leg blown off, I just couldn't cope anymore." He turned to heroin for escape like a thirsty man grabs a full canteen. "You needed them to survive," he says. But escape through drugs turned him into an addict. After failing a urine test for drugs, he was imprisoned in a military stockade for eight terrible days. Sweating profusely due to withdrawals and cramps from turning "cold-turkey," the inmates were eaten alive by a wall of mosquitoes at night; by day the drug offenders were attacked by flies. After the Army "cleaned" him up, it transferred him back to the states for his _general discharge. His planned career in the military was dashed by his drug use. "Before Vietnam, I cared ... about myself and the future as well as others. Somewhere in the blood and deception, I lost it." Wiley lost his self-esteem, trust in the government, and nearly his sanity in the humid jungles of Southeast Asia. So, having lost the first war in American history, failing to keep the Army as a career, and having failed to get a proper education, Wiley could see no future in himself. He had great difficulty re-entering the society he had left just two years before. Despite attempts to secure employment, the battle-hardened vet never found a meaningful job. So two months after his general discharge, he struck out for the mountains around ollections of trauma in the form of nightmares. Others have flashbacks of trauma triggered by a specific event. Citing an example, Beebe says some vets have flashbacks when it rains because it reminds them of the monsoon season in Vietnam. At Menlo Park, Wiley began to regain his sense of direction lost to him since his return from Asia. Committing himself voluntarily to the rehabilitation program, he began a healing process that would last a lifetime. "They taught us to take life one day ata time," he says. Themostimportant quality he developed, however, was a new willingness to trust- a capacity lost by traumatic events, and kept hidden by the tinted glass of his cheap wine bottle. Despite his renewed ability to trust people, Wiley says he will never again trust the U.S. government. Beebe says another symptom of PTSD is anger and rage towards authority, including an intense mistrust of the government.

Boutin's hiring must still be approved by LCC President Jerry Moskus, and LCC's Board of Education, before it is considered official. Health and Physical Education Director Bob Creed, a member of the screening committee, says academic background and strengths in the classroom weighed more heavily in the committee's decision than did Boutin's record as a coach. "We didn't just go out and hire a coach," says Creed. "The job description is based 80 percent on classroom instruction and maybe 20 percent on coaching." Besides Boutin' s 23 years of college coaching experience, he possesses a master's degree in health and physical education, one of the position's requirements, and a doctorate in Education from Oregon State University. "I thought he was the strongest of the candidates who met our qualifications," says LCC Athletic Director Bob Foster. As a coach, Boutin compiled a 194-30 record and two NAIA district titles at Willamette University, before moving to WOSC. He built the Wolves into a local power which culminated in a 30-2 record in 1982 and two victories in the national NAIA tournament. In 1985, Boutin stepped up to an NCAA Division 1 position with Idaho State University in Pocatello. He received coach-of-the-year honors in the Big Sky Conference in 1987 and remained at ISU until his resignation following the 1989-90 basketball season. "We've hired a good man," says Bates. "I think he'll bring our program up a notch."

The Titans also won two games against Clark College by scores of 14-6 and 7-5, on May 2. The Titans banged out eighteen hits in the first game against Chemeketa CC, including four doubles and a triple, as well as RBI singles by Hammitt and Greene.

"If we can win both relays and can load up in the sprint events, we could possibly finish a strong second behind Clackamas (CC)," he says. "There's an outside chance we could win it all, but it would be hard because we don't have as many bodies as Clackamas (does)." The LCC women's 400-meter (4X100) and 1600-meter (4X400) relay teams have the best conference times going into the regional meet.

According to committee member Bob Creed, LCC' s coaching staff after "years of frustration with lack of funding," got together and decided to recommend changes in the athletic program. "Basically," Creed says, "The coaches said, 'If cutting programs costs us our jobs, that' sokay.' They would rather see the school fund a few teams which can be competitive, than field a lot of teams that are not funded properly. "I think this is a very positive step on the part of the (coaching) staff," Creed continues. "Usually coaches say, 'give me what you can give me, and let me run my program.' These coaches are saying, 'Don'tlet(LCC'sathletics) die a slow death.' They want competitive programs three, four, five, or six sports, rather than have eight teams which are too poorly funded to be competitive." During the Spring of 1990, the coaching staff met and rec•ommended that the school board, 1) Fund the eight existing sports with a $55,000 budget for 1991-92, or 2) Support as many programs which can be competitive with the money that is available. These recommendations were passed on to Marshall, who asked Health and P .E. Director Bob Creed to submit the names of students and staff willing to sit on a committee to discuss the matter. A nine-member committee, including Creed, was appointedinlateMarch 1991 with instructions to assess the recommendations of the coaching staff, and make recommendations of its own. "We met for the first time on April 8., and six times since then," says Creed. "We've set up a list of ten criteria, including some like length of season and numbers of students involved, and matched them against a list of quantitative and qualitative data, and then devised a formula to decide which sports were of most import to thecommuni ty ." The committee will take the results of this formula, match them against the number of dollars which LCC is committing to the athletic programs, and then submit its recommendations to Marshall sometime early next week.
