Lawmakers say
funds 'misspent'
by Devan C. Wilson
Torch Editor

LCC, and other Oregon community colleges, spent portions
of $6 million in lottery funds allocated through the state Executive Department Economic Development Fund on items other
than what was expected by Oregon lawmakers.
The Eugene Register-Guard (R-G) reported on May 9 that
lawmakers who have reviewed spending records say community colleges misused some of their 1989-91 allocation of $6
million which was intended to fund job programs.
Sen. Jeanette Hamby, R-Hillsboro, is quoted in the May 9 RG as saying "These purchases by law have to be tied to economic
development. What we have here is evidence that they spent it
on a lot of things that can't be justified."
Records show that the majority of the money was spent in the
manner intended by lawmakers - such as equipment used in
classroom and instructional work.
However, the records also show that some colleges used
lottery funds to furnish offices, purchase maintenance equipment and outfit athletic training centers." At least $314,353 fed
budgets for administrators and groundskeepers," according to
the R-G report.
The report further states that LCC spent $10,444 in lottery
funds on equipment for the president's office, including $2,904
for a public address system for the LCC Boardroom.

Peterson likens the Torch editor's position to that of a quarterback on a football

The LCC Media Commission, a 17member board composed of students,
classified employees, faculty and administrators, elected Harwood editor, based
on points awarded to his writing, training, journalism philosophy, and managerial and personal skills, says Pete Peterson, commission member and one of three
Torch advisors.
Media Commission members also
appointed Bonita Rinehart as 1991-92 Denali editor. The selection comes on the
heels of the recent election in which stu-

think he'll be a professional."
Harwood, a Torch staff member since
fall, 1990, admits thatthis year's act will be
tough to follow. At the recent ONPA

Conference, the Torch garnered l0awards,
more than any other two or four-year

ing "new blood" for next year's staff and
encourages students interested in writing
and production to apply at the Torch office.
Rinehart is equally enthusiastic about
her appointment.
"It was fun - it was great," Rinehart
says about her stint before the media
commission. Rinehart insists she wasn't
nervous during her appearance before the
commission because she had decided if
she wasn't chosen as editor, "someone
else was more qualified for the position,
someone that I could learn from."
Peter Jensen, Denali advisor and a
member of the media commission, said
thatRinehart'shelpingattitude,alongwith
her writing skills, are what earned her the
position.
"She greatly impressed commission
members by distributing her typewritten
goals for Denali prior to the selection interview," Jensen says.
Rinehart's goals include "marrying
Denali with performing arts whenever
possible." She wants to stage dance interpretations of poetry and dramatic interpretations of short stories. In addition,
she looks forward to poetry readings at
the downtown mall, as well as the Hult
Center during the Eugene Celebration.
Rinehart says she'll be at LCC for a
long time. It took her so long to get back
to school, and she has enjoyed LCC so
much that although she will leave at some
time to get her bachelor's, master's or
even doctorate degrees, she'll always be ·
back.
"I'd like to eventually teach English at
the community college level, and make
LCC my career home," she says.

Financial aid
• Miscalculation of workstudy grants: On two occasions
during Waddell's reign, many
students were unable to continue attending LCC due to the
Financial Aid Office's miscalculation and readjustment of
work-study grant amounts
which it could budget. In the
mostrecentsituation, Waddell
herself admitted, in a March 1,
1991 story in the Torch, thatthe
1990-91 miscalculation had
been apparent to the Financial
Aid Office in January, but she
had waited to announce revised work-study grants "until all the facts were known."
That meant many students
were caught short of time to
explore other funding alternatives to continue their LCC ed. ucation as they had planned.
Waddell' s announcement had
come some 30 days after the
Financial Aid Office knew
about the problem. Some students were forced to cut back
their course loads or suspend
their education at LCC altogether. Quite a few suffered a
stressful juggling of personal
resources in order to meet the
costs of furthering their education without the aid of a workstudy grant.
Waddell says her intent for
withholding the announcement was to not unduly
alarm students until other ways
to lessen the impact of the
miscalculation could be explored.

1990, acting in my sometime

supervisor Bob Marshall, concerning a new 1990-91 school
year policy, whereby the Financial Aid Office did not distribute financial aid cash
awards until the end of the
second week of classes for each
term.
Atthattime, Waddell stated
the new policy resulted from
"changes in federal regulations" and LCC' s need to
"comply with those regulations."
But, in the course of investigating the issue, I made calls to
over 20 colleges up and down
the West Coast to determine if
they were following a policy
similar to Waddell's in order
to stay in compliance with the
federal guidelines.
Of the 20, only three held
back disbursement until during or after the second week of
classes. Most schools disbursed
monies within the first three
days of classes.
Waddell attributes the difference in disbursal times to
the fact that LCC has been
audited by the Oregon ScholarshipServiceand was directed
to make changes. Other colleges have yet to be audited.
• Bilingual financial aid advisor: Also, in October, Waddell stated she did not see a
"need" to have a bilingual financial aid advisor at LCC. She
claimed resident-alien students, mostly of Hispanic origin, could get help with filling
out their forms from MultiCultural Director Connie
Mesquita and International
Student Coordinator Mason
Davis.
Yet, both Mesquita and
Davis, although willing to help
students in need, are neither
paid nor trained to perform
this service. In fact, each sees

the necessity of hiring at least a
half-time bilingual financial aid
advisor at LCC.
The questions then, are
these: Does the Financial Aid
Office truly serve student needs
when neglecting to solve some
problems? Is the office setting
policies arbitrarily?
The Financial Aid Office,
according to Wad dell, is responsible for between $7-8
million a year in financial aid
monies. The office also makes
decisions involving nearly 42
percent of LCC students. •
Since the operating policies
within the Financial Aid Office
affect LCC' s ability to provide
services for students, and have
great impact on the personal
lives of the students themselves, the college should establish an advisory committee
on which students and other
staff members assist in making
those decisions.
President Moskus' shared
decision-making policy can
only help to prevent future
arbitrary decisions from the
Financial Aid Office, as well as
otherdepartments,andhelpto
insure that students have a say
in, and receive, the best possible services the college can
offer.

"She endues her students with the confidence that this difficult language can be mastered," wrote one nominee.
Nelson credits her enthusiasm for teaching
to her current and past students, "who make
my job very enjoyable. It's a joy to work with
students who want to learn."
Nelson adds that the subject of French is
"very much a part of me.
"I certainly love what I do."
Nelson says in addition to pleasure, she also
feels humbled at receiving the honor, noting
that there are many exceptional instructors at
LCC.
"It's too bad we have only one opportunity a
year to honor an individual instructor."
Nelson adds that she had no idea that she
had even been nominated for the distinction.
She will receive a plaque for the honor at the
LCC graduation ceremonies on May 31, at the
Hult Center.

"Fe1icitations au professeur de 1'anne'e."
Translated from French to English, this statement means "Congratulations to the instructor

And this year, those congratulations go out
to LCC French Instructor Ginny Nelson.
At noon, Vice President of Instruction Jim
Ellison, accompanied by an entourage of past
instructors of the year, ventured into Nelson's
second year class, Thursday, May 16, to inform
her that this year the honor was being bestowed
upon her.
"I feel very honored to have been chosen,"
Nelson said later.
Candidates for the honor are nominated by

LCC French Instructor Ginny Nelson reacts with surprise
after Vice President for Instruction Jim Ellison informed her
that she has been named Instructor of the Vear.

At the May 13 ASLCC Senate meeting, the Senate reported on the progress of student bus pass negotiations with
Lane Transit District (LTD) and
announced strategies dealing
with the recently passed measure allocating$5 for child-care.
Communications Director
Seth Craig, a member of the
LTD bus pass committee, said
he was confident of the com-

mittee developing a counterproposal to LTD' s offer before
the next Senate meeting. LTD
offered a bus pass for all students in exchange for the students paying $13.11 more in
their mandatory fees.
Craig told the Torch on May
16 that a counter-proposal had

Exit interviews required for some financial aid recipients
by Kelley Egre
Torch Staff Writer

LCC students who have received
Stafford Student Loans, loans based on
financial need only, or Supplemental
loans for Students (SLS) shouldn't leave
LCC indefinitely without saying goodbye to the financial aid office, says
Loan Coordinator Linda Allen.
Federal regulations, implemented at
LCC in the fall of 1990, require that all

students receiving these loans attend
an exit interview during their last term
atLCC.
According to Allen, the new policy,
suggested to the college by the U.S. DepartmentofEducation,outlinesrepayment procedures, how to correspond
with your lender, deferments, and loan
consolidation. Since students are expected to begin payments on their loan
approximately six months after their
departure from LCC, Allen says this

meeting could be crucial.
"If a student should leave Lane and
not pay for their loan, they will go into
default and face very serious consequences," she says.
Allen says among possible consequences when a student fails to make
payments are financial aid ineligibility
at anytime at any college, tax returns
being withheld, and garnishment of
wages from future employment. Failure to repay loans may also be reflected

on a student's credit record, she says.
"These interviews we will be conducting will hopefully steer the student away from these possibilities,"
she says.
Spring term exit interviews will be
conducted this year on May 23 and 24.
For times and locations of the non-appointment interviews, contact the Financial Aid Office at ext. 2205. Interviews will last no longer than 50 minutes.

Jones leaving behind quiet legacy, student autonomy
by Mary Browning
Torch Associate Editor

Like the stage manager in a
grand production, Student Activities Director Jay Jones has
had a lot of ''behind the scenes"
impact in the shaping of LCC
in the past two decades.
When Jones retires from
LCC this spring after 22 years,
a strong force on this campus
will attempt to quietly slip
away, without fanfare.
In many roles, he has functioned quietly, out of the spotlight.
"Jay reminds me of the
people we read about in history," says English, Foreign
Language, and Speech Chair
-andJonesco-workerin planning graduations - Jack
Powell. He's like "the power
behind the throne."
Jones sets the stage, dresses
the characters, and steps back
to let the play begin.
"The only time I've seen Jay
nervous ... is when the curtain
goes up and it gets out of his
hands," says Powell. "He
doesn't seek personal glory ..
. it's not important to him. (An
achievement) is only important in how it reflects on the
college," says Powell.
For ASLCC,Jones' key contribution must surely be his
hands-off approach to advising.
"I never tell student government how to run its organization - I give them the skills
torunit," says Jones. "The only
time I step out and say 'no' is if
they do something illegal. (I
won't let _them do that,) not
with my signature on it."
He is emphatic on insisting
students develop their own
"self-style."
"The first thing I say to student government people is 'I
don't want to build a bunch of
Jay Jones clones.' " And besides, he says, "I don't want
but one of meoutthere. That's
unique."
According to his administrative assistantSally Meadow,
"The autonomy that ASLCC
has is a tribute to Jay's management style."
Former ASLCC President
Andy Harris says he feels that
autonomy has been crucial to
ASLCC.
Working with other student
government representatives
throughout the state, Harris
says he saw many "puppet"
governments, controlled by
their ad visors and administrations.
"Jay made a conscious effort to do everything to avoid

that ... He let us run the show.
He let us make our own mistakes and achieve our own accomplishments.
"The only time he interfered
with our work was when we
came to him ... and then he
was totally accessible and willing to help."
And an even greater tribute
to Jones is the support for his
style, evident across the campus.
Meadow says that this support was also evident in theselection process for a new student activities director. Again
and again, she says, committee members stressed the importance of finding a manager
who would continue Jones'
policy of autonomous student
government.
"It's not just that we have
(autonomy)," says Meadow,
"But that the college supports
it."
Jones has been convincing
people to support him for a
long time.
The son of cotton sharecroppers, Jones was working construction in Mississippi, when,
"I discovered that I had a brain
sitting on top of that machine."
Driven by the realization
that a serious injury could
deprive him of his livelihood,
Jones decided to go to college.
Not, however, without some
opposition from his parents.
" (Going back to school) was
a difficult decision for me ...
my parents' subsistence would
be diminished (without the
income I had been contributing) ... Myparents asked 'What
are you going to give up this
good job for?' "
But when it was time for his
graduation, Jones says his father was right there with an
arm around him saying, "This
is my boy."
But Jones had a long way to
come to where he is now.
"I wasn't a Student Activities Director when I came
here," says Jones. "I grew up
in this office."
"The first few years I kept

the phones ringing on this campus, asking for help," reminisces Jones. uMy success in
education is knowing who to
call."
But it comes down to knowing how to do the job.
"I can tell you or anyone
that I'm good at what I do ...
and when I make that statement, it's not a boast," says

Panthers, were attending
classes.
"I knew that I was brought
here because I was black," says
Jones. But he stresses that it
hasn't made a difference in
how he's done his job.
"I did not go to school to
become a Director of Minorities or to be labeled ... I went
to school to be an educator for

Muhr, relocated to Eugene.

Larson-Muhr's parents

this determination through a
tragic realization ...
Larson-Muhr remembers
she was only two years old at

found not breathing. She recalls the intensity of the moment from her mother's perspective.
Mrs. Larson ran frantically
from house to house, trying to
get help. Repeatedly doors
were slammed in her face by
neighbors who didn't even
know she was deaf. Finally,
one neighbor got past her own
fear of this hysterical, seeming
mad woman, and let Mrs. Larson into her home. And to
paper and pen. And a phone.

One of her advanced students, Alicia Hays, says Larson-Muhr' s many stories not

other communities, LarsonMuhr says, " ... this is a place
where people meet people, see
new ideas, realize they are not
alone, and build strength
within their own culture."
This strengthening is amplified by those hearing individuals who take the time to learn
sign language. As LarsonMuhr' s student, Hays says,
"My 'comfort level' has increased. I am not so nervous
around hearing impaired
people anymore!"
Her parents' goal for LarsonMuhr from childhood was to

Board of Education members Larry Perry, Chuck Ivey,
and Peter Sorenson formally
complimented Moskus on his
decision to ''back-up" and reexamine the restructuring issue in the wake of complaints
by staff and faculty about the
way Warford was named to
the position.
The criticism stemmed from
charges that an affirmative action process was ignored, not
from any deficiency in
Warford' s qualifications.
Warford has an extensive
background in community and
business education. He received his PhD. in Higher Education Administration in
March, 1989, from the U of 0.
Moskus also announced his
intention to bring in an affirmative action specialist to deal
with relevant issues at LCC.
Other business:
• Vice President for Student
Services Bob Marshall announced the hiring of Jim
Boutin as replacement for retiring basketball coach Dale
Bates, SheHy Dutton as LCC
Bookstore manager, and Lee
Paez as director of counseling.
Marshall informed the

board thatBobFoster,LCCathletic director and baseball
coach, has submitted his resignation. Marshall recommended that the resignation
be accepted.
• The board reviewed an
amended sexual harassment
policy for the campus. A final
decision will be made on the
revision at the June 10 Board
meeting.
• Vice President of Instruction Jim Ellison presented curriculum reporting changes for
the board. In the future, only
new programs will be submitted to the board for approval.
Course modifications or improvements will be submitted
to the board on a periodic basis. This concept received approval from the board.
• The board tabled acceptance of the recently passed
child-care measure until the
June 10meeting. Concerns over
the lack of specifity of
how the funds will be allotted,
who will administer the funds,
and definition of the parameters of the measure by the childcare committee are reasons for
the delay in approval.

"I don't want to sound like
I'm bragging, or anything, but
there's not a pitcher (in the
Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges
conference) who can get the
ball by me."

Spoken like a true hitter.
Few hitters can indiscriminately swing at pitches anywhere around the plate, as did
Yogi Berra and Roberto Clemente, and still expect to hit
the ball with any consistency.
Most good hitters swing at the
baseball as it crosses the plate
in a "zone" which is to each
individual hitter's liking.
"I like the ball letter-high
and low and inside," says
Greene. "If the ball's not inside, and I can't pull it or hit it
the other way, it's a ball."
Greene's zone must look as
big as Texas to NW AACC
pitchers. Since May 1, he has
hit seven home runs against
conference hurlers.
"I don't go up there trying
tohithomeruns," saysGreene.

"I just try to hit my pitch and
drive the ball. Lately, I've been
hitting a lot of (pitchers') mistakes."
Greene appreciates his designated-hitter role with the
Titans. '1 like DH'ing. That way
ldon'thavetoworryaboutmy
fielding (which Greene claims
is "not real good"), and I can
concentrate on helping the
team with my bat."
The left-handed hitting
freshman says his bat has made
him a team leader for the Titans.
"When I'm up there (at the
plate), I know my team is lookingupatmetoproduce.l thrive
on the pressure. It makes me a
much better hitter."
Greene one day hopes to
play professional baseball.

"I had some offers last year
(when he was a senior at North
Eugene High School), but most
of them said I needed to work
on my fielding and find a position to play (consistently)."

If Greene continues to find
the "zone" as well as he has
during the 1991 season, he may
someday join Williams in the
memories of baseball fans
everywhere.

Boutin era begins with visit fo LCC campus
by Joe Harwood
Torch Staff Writer

Jim Boutin, new basketball coach
named by the selection committee to
replace retiring coach Dale Bates, had
his first chance to view members of
next year's team on Tuesday, May 14,
in the LCC gym.
He says he sees some potential.
"Looks like we need a big guy, a
post-up center," says Boutin. He also
has a strong nucleus with four returning lettermen. At present, Boutin is
actively recruiting for a center and a
point guard who "can handle the ball
and dish-off [passes] well."
For the point guard, he says he is considering players already at LCC,
but he is still looking. "We like to fastbreak; if you don't have someone who
, can handle the ball and run the program, you don't have a disciplined offense."
He says he has several contacts
around the state who he can trust (to
give accurate recruiting reports), and
because he is a new coach he says everyone will have an equal chance to
prove themselves.
"If guys are willing to work hard

Jim Boutin (on left), is welcomed to LCC by Bob Creed and Dale Bates.
and improve, they will find a place on
my team," he says, "if not, well ... "
Boutin plans to implement a "pressure man-to-man defense," and a four
or five man motion offense, depending

on recruiting prospects. "If you deny
passing lanes (defensively), you get
turnovers, and the offense can go from
there," he says.
Bates, whoisretiringafter17seasons

as head coach, has much praise for his
successor. "He'll be a real asset for LCC.
He is very disciplined and stresses fundamentals."
And Boutin returns the compliment.
"I'm very impressed with Coach Bates
and his program." "I really appreciate
all the help he's given me, getting me
acclimated with LCC and all."
Boutin believes in discipline on and
off the basketball court. "I want to make
sure players go to classes and get a
chance to go somewhere. I think education is important, it's an attitude."
Boutin' s responsibilities will include
both teaching and coaching. Health and
Physical Education Director Bob Creed
says the job description is based on 80
percent classroom instruction and approximately 20 percent on coaching
duties. Boutin will teach classes such as
Lifetime Health and Fitness, Heal th 250,
P.E. activities, and First Aid.
A former coach at Willamette University and Western Oregon State College, Boutin will accept his third coaching job in Oregon with what he calls "a
high energy and enthusiasm level." His
last coaching job was at Idaho State
University in 1989-90.

Blues silence skeptics by winning first NWHL crown

Eugene goalie Shane Peters sits in resignation after allowing a goal in a May 11 game against Tri-Cities. The Blues
went on to a 5-2 win and capture a spot in the NWHL finals.

The Eugene Blues made a
liar out of Portland winger
Mike Dickerman and walked
away with the Northwest
Hockey League's championship trophy by skating to a 3-2
victory over the Royals at Lane
County Ice (LCD on May 12.
After the Royals' 13-4 drubbing of the Tacoma Pioneers in
a May 11 semi-final game,
Dickerman stated, "What you
sawusdotoTacoma wasjusta
warm-up for what we'll to
Eugene."
The Blues proved the fallacy of Dickerman's prophecy.
Tom Goodrie and Brad
Copeland scored first period
goals to put the Blues ahead to

Blues coach Roger Wherity
was impressed by Jacobs' work
in the nets. "(Jacobs) did the
best he could have done," said
Wherity. "He gave us the protection we needed to win the
game; he was our top gun.
"I was surprised we won
the game," Wherity added. "I

thought (Portland) was going

play-offs, but we did better
than I expected. Hopefully, we
can beat them again in the Rose

Student plays premiere at LCC
by Tracy Brooks

Torch Entertainment Editor

Three new one-act plays selected from the
ranks of Jerry Seifert's Advanced Playwrighting class will premiere Friday, May 24 at 8 p.m.
in "An Evening of New Plays" in tl 1e Blue Door
Theatre of the Performing Arts Building.
Student Jerry McClatchey, who has been a
student in the advanced playwrighting class, is
coordinating the production of the three plays,
"Tuesday's Philos," "Flying High," and
"Rabbit's House."
"Tuesday's Philos," written by Theresa Sloan
and directed by McClatchey, is the story of one
Tuesday evening in the lives of two old timers,
Harry Malloy and Charlie Edwards.
"Flying High," written by Bjo Ashwill and

directed by Sunny Schneider, is the story of two
people, a man and a woman disabled from
birth, who struggle to remain independent.
The third play, "Rabbit's House," is written
by Sherry Lady and directed by Bjo Ashwill.
This play concerns a woman facing the later
years of her life as she recalls her job of entertaining people with her craft, and longs for the
renewal of a special friendship with her daughter.
McClatchey says the emphasis in the new
plays is to present a production that is student
directed and produced, as well as student written.
Megan L. Seifert will work alongside
McClatchey as stage manager. John Miller will
manage the lights.
Tickets are available for $4 at the LCC Box
Office, by calling726-2209.

LCC features concerts
by Tracy Brooks
Torch Entertainment Editor

LCC Performing Arts will present three spring music ensemble concerts on Thursday, May 23, Wednesday, May 29, and
Thursday, May 30.
The concerts, each beginning at 8 p.m., are offered to showcase music class accomplishments for the term.
In the May 23 concert, faculty member Nathan Cammack will
direct his Percussion Ensemble. Faculty member Jim Greenwood will direct his Jazz Ensemble.
In the May 29 concert, the LCC Symphonic band will play under the direction of Ed McManus. The LCC Concert Choir will
perform under the direction of Wayte Kirchner.
In the May 30 concert, the LCC Baroque Orchestra will perform under the direction of Dan Sachs.
According to McManus, the symphonic band, which is made
up of a combination of students and community members, will
play several "challenging'' pieces. The band will perform "The
Planets," a symphonic orchestra piece written by Gustav Holst,
and "Rhapsody in Blue," written by George Gershwin.
"It's (Rhapsody in Blue) a great piece," says McManus. "It's a
great challenge. We're pushing ourselves a bit."
Kirchner says the concert choir will perform a variety of love
song waltzes by Brahms, spiritual pieces, and "nonsense songs,"
by Norman Luboff, which are short, "fun" blips of music.
The concerts are free to the public. Tickets are available by
calling the LCC Box Office at 726-2209 between noon and 4 p.m.

Gallery owner speaks

by Tracy Brooks

Torch Entertainment Editor

One of the most common
problems artists face is obtaining commitments from galleries to display their work.
They have to show their work
to earn a reputation, but they
have to have a reputation to
find places to show their work.
Gallery owner Victoria Frey
will address this problem in a
lectureMonday,May20, 1 p.m.
in Forum 307.
Frey will discuss the gallery
business, specifically focusing
on how she deals with artists.
Her talk will include experiences she's run across in her
seven years as a gallery owner
and will offer artists tips on

how to fit the parameters gallery owners seek in submissions.
Frey, who teaches a course
in gallery ownership and management at Pacific Northwest
College of Art, is a former artist. She says she opened her
gallery with the intention of
trying to "pick up" artists
caught in that "catch-22" situation.
This lecture, she says, will
be a brief overview of the whole
situation. She says, however,
"I am very open to whatever it
is the audience is looking for
(from a speaker)."
The lecture is open to all students and staff, and is sponsored by ASLCC.

Magazine hosts 'finale'
by Tracy Brooks

Torch Entertainment Editor

Publishing three issues just wasn't enough to satisfy Denali. ·
On Friday, May 24, LCC' s literary and art magazine will remedy the situation with the "Denali Finale."
The finale is a free celebration to which all students and faculty are invited, Taking place in Center 476, the finale will feature
- along with refreshments - musical entertainment, poetry
readings, and an art show.
The purpose of the celebration is to "bring the magazine off
the pages," says Assistant Editor Bonita Rinehart, as well as
providing a forum for works which were not included in the
publication during the year (Rinehart has been appointed 199192 Denali editor - see story, page 1).
The art show will consist of an actual display of sculpture
pieces, ceramics, and other art work that was submitted, but not
published in Denali.
Denali Editor Robin Robbins will read some women's poetry
for the finale, as well as some of her own work. English instructor
and Denali Advisor Peter Jensen will read a combination of nature pieces and experimental poetry from his own collection of
works. In addition to Robbins and Jensen, Rinehart and Richard
Leebrick II, Denali contributor, will read. Rinehart has several
other people tentatively lined up.
The finale will take place from 2 p.m. to4 p.m. on May 24. For
more information, people should call Rinehart at extension 2830
or drop by the Denali office in Center 479, located in the ASLCC
office.

Senate

continued from page 4

this year, but he said that even
without an election, the progress achieved by the committee will be passed on to next
year's Senate.
Cultural Director Trish
Rosewood announced that a
meeting for students interested
in working on the child-care issue will be held on Friday, May
17, in P.E. 231 at 2 p.m.
ASLCC President Michael
Omogrosso said that there are
currently two child-care committeeson campus-one com-

posed of students determining
howtodistributethe$5fee, the
other a campus-wide group
working to implement a plan
for providing the care next
year.
Other business:

• Omogrosso said that he
and newly-elected ASLCC
President Ernie Woodland will
be attending a transitional retreat sponsored by CCOSAC
on May 18-19.
Craig, who ran against

Woodland for the President's
position, said, "I'm proud to
see a man of color rep re sen ting
the students here·at Lane."
• SenatorSabrinaPanasuck
announced her support of the
Freedom of Choice Act. The
act is a federal bill that would
prevent states from limiting
women's rights to safe, confidential, and legal abortion services. Panasuck is organizing a
mailing campaign targeting
representatives opposed to the
bill.

• The Senate approved $250
foranaltemative,fold-outbulletin board arrangement to replace the bulletin boards currently standing next to the
Student Resource Center
(SRC).
In a tie vote causing
Omogrosso to cast the deciding vote, the Senate decided
not to approve Woodland's
proposal to spend $300 in order to expand the SRC.
• The Senate supported the
Student Health Center's pro-

posal to allow fees incurred by
student use of the center next
year to be sent directly to Financial Services.
• The Senate agreed to give
a $250 stipend to Soviet exchange
student
Erik
Kalashnikov. Mark Harris, an
LCC exchange student studying in Irk tusk, Siberia, receives
a stipend from the Soviet government.
The next Senate meeting will
be on May 20 at 3 p.m. in the
Boardroom.
