Waddel I testifies
in D.C. on
financial aid

by Mary Browning
Torch Associate Editor

LCC Director of Financial Aid Linda Waddell
testified Friday, April 26 in Washington D.C.
before a congressional subcommittee on the
simplification of the financial aid distribution.
Speaking before the Senate Subcommittee on
Education, Arts, and Humanities on behalf of
1,900 postsecondary institutions, Waddell
represented LCC and the College Scholarship
Service Assembly (CSS), of which she is vicechair.
CSS is the financial aid division of the College
Board, a non-profit membership association.
Started in 1900, the board seeks to facilitate
students' transitions from one educational level
and/ or setting to another, according Waddell, a
professional financial aid administrator for 18
years. The subcommittee, chaired by Sen.
Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island, is under the
Committee on Labor and Human Resources.
Every four years, Congress is required to
reauthorize the Higher Education Act. Waddell
outlined six proposals drafted byCSS to" simplify
the delivery of student aid while preserving equity
in the distribution of dollars," at the
reauthorization hearing.
Waddell says she is optimistic that the
recommendations were well received and she
hopes Congress will choose to incorporate all of
the proposals into the reauthorization.
She called for a diversity of methods for
simplification in form design, methodology,
administration, and information and guidance.
Part of the problem lies in the process, says
Waddell.
• The first suggestion that CSS had for the
reauthorization was a redefinition of selfsupporting students status. Their proposed
definition would eliminate eleven of sixteen data
elements currently on the CSS Financial Aid
Form(FAF).
"The (financial aid) form isn't what makes the

Bond changes plea to guilty

May resume duties with college fall term
by Devan C. Wilson
Torch Editor

Harvey Bond, LCC's Substance
Abuse Prevention Coordinator, has
changed his plea on charges of
tampering with drug records and
possession of a controlled substance
to guilty, according to Lane County
Circuit Court records.
Lane County Sheriff's deputies
served a warrant for Bond's arrest

by Cl~udiaG. Rei~f

on Thursday, March 28. He was
arraigned the following day, March
29, where he entered a plea of not
guilty.
A pre-trial hearing had been set
for May 3, but was postponed until
May 17, at which point Bond changed
his plea. Sentencing is set for June 24.
Bond had been charged with two
counts of tampering with drug records, in relation to accusations of
forging a prescription for Tylenol

III, a controlled substance containing codeine, on Jan. 18 and Jan. 22.
He had also been charged with
possession of a con trolled substance,
related to receiving Tylenol III on
Jan. 18.

The Torch

To the Editor,
Re: Rick Lewis' letter to the
editor (April 26):
I could at least respect Lewis' attack on me if it were
absent of obvious bitterness
and contained some information that I was not aware. He
failed to understand the immense difference between not
having a job and losing a job
because the institution you
patronize does not enforce the
affirmative action policy it
subscribes to. There is also an
immense difference between
affirmative action policies and
racism. Lewis' attack on me
was based on his own ignorance about these matters.
Historically, oppressed
people retaliate when the government and the masses continue to invalidate their
achievements, struggles and
contribution to the nation. This
is a common fact and Lewis is
living an illusion if he thinks
America is not subject to the
same behavior.
He implies that minorities
have to be "a little more patient" and that "equality will
not manifest for some time to
come" as long as people like
me continue to "cry wolf" and
lament "woe is me." While we
continue to wait, bogged down
in optimism, there continues a
wide disparity in education,
housing, and economics. Unemployment for white males
rose from 9.1 percent in 1974 to
11.8 in 1988. Black males rose
from 15.1 percent in 1974 to
39.7percentin 1988. Thestatis-

tics for educationareeven more
staggering. An increasing
number of organizations such
as Hate Crimes Task Force,
NAACP, Women Against
Rape, and Adult Children of
Akoholicscontinuetosurface.
I ask Mr. Lewis: Who is responsible for the need of these
organizations? The mention of
the name Macolm Xshould not
cause Lewis to become nervous, but the names of Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler and Ming
should, because they are not
only individuals, but ideas that
are alive and are stimulated at
every tick of the clock.
I repeat, I have encountered
extremely supportive individuals on and off the LCC
campus. I am proud of my
achievements - including
student teaching in the 4-J
school district- and will continue to resist any bureaucracy
that directly or mdirectly hinders my growth in this area.
Our egos are not what is important. The future of this nation, our children, are in serious peril because of irresponsible institutions and individuals.
So, a question for Mr. Lewis: How much longer should
we wait?
Another day is too much to
ask.

Attacks
unwarrented

To the Editor,
After considering the letters
responding to the intense letter I wrote for the May 10 Torch,
I formed the opinion thatthese
attacks on my integrity were
unwarranted.

My letter was not primarily
concerned with my own efforts
being censored, but it was intended to criticize editorial
decisions in a broader sense.
I have appreciated working
with the editing, advising, and
staff people who produce this
newspaper. In writing my letter, I incorrectly assumed that
this truth would be self - evident by the fact that I continued reportingfor the Torch this
year.
Satisfyingly, last week's
Torch editorial encouraged
students to give feedback to
ASLCC leaders. However, it
failed to mention that the surest way to ensure ASLCC' s effectiveness is for students to
directly become involved with
the issues that student body
representatives struggle with.
The Torch, being a newspaper dedicated to informing
students of issues concerning
them, should also encourage
student feedback regarding its
own performance.
Perhaps this method is not
used bytheRegister-Guard. But
the Torch should be seeking to
serve the needs of its readers
ratherthanemulatingtheworst
aspects of capitalism.
I was happy to learn
that Paul Nutter has beenreading my artticles for two years,
even though he doesn't like
them. At best, my articles are
intended to give an alternative point of veiw to people
who ideologically disagree
with the perspective I present.
I hope that Steev Moore's
forum is printed this week.

"The issue about where
you have to pay more

really important. I don't
think that people should
have to pay more
money. I think they
should leave it the way
it is now."

A 'tearful' goodbye from outgoing editor
OK, so here it is: a collection
of sappy "goodbyes" and
"thank yous" from the outgoing editor (sob, sob ... shed a
tear).
Admittedly, I'm not much
for sentiment, but nevertheless
I've got to do what I've got
to do. And besides, I've got 23
or so inches of space to fill, so,
let's get busy ...
• My parents, Robert and
Maxine: I start with my parents because throughout my
collegiate career, they have
been the constant support that
I've needed to overcome my
initial inefficiencies as a student, and put myself in the
position of a student leader.
Knowing that they hadn't
given up on me ensured that I
never gave up on myself.
• Counselor Jerry Sirois:
Sirois has been a wealth of inforrna tion to me in all my years
cl.t LCC. He doesn' talways have
the answer to my questions,
but he sure as hell knows who
will, and has always gone to
any length to put me in contact
with that person. In short: don't
know the answer, don't know
wheretostart? AskSirois.He's
been a tremendous help to me.
• LCC President Jerry
Moskus: It seems that from the
first moment he stepped on this
campus, Moskus has been one
of the most adamant supporters of the Torch, myself, and
the entire staff. His praise has
had a monumental effect on
my pride ... and my ego.
• Torch Advisors Pete "Q."
Peterson, Dorothy Wearne,
and Jan Brown: Each of these
individuals have played a special role in my personal development, as well as the ongoing
success of the Torch this year
and in years past. Without their

Cassandra Duke
Business

continual patience and respect
for myself and other staff
members, this year's achievemen ts could not have been a
reality.

Not only has Peterson enabled me to become an effective reporter and editor during
my two years with the Torch,
he encouraged me to take the
chance to put myself in the "hot
seat" and instilled in me the
confidence that I could do the
job.
Regardless of the circumstances, Wearne al ways offered
an "open door policy." Often
there were situations where I
felt there was no one to tum to
except Weame, and she was
always there. Her insight into
individuals and their emotions
provided me a foundation to
formulate many of the toughest decisions I've had to make
this year.
Without Brown's performance as advertising ad visor, I
definitely would have been in
over my head this year. Her
title is somewhat misleading,
as she is much more than the
advertising advisor. She is the
ad sa]es person. The assurance
that she would provide the

cial support ads generate, allowed me to focus my attention on news and editorial
content. I also appreciated
Brown'sconstantinquiriesinto
"how I was doing" and her acknowledgement that I was the
"sweetest'' editor ever.
• TheTorchEditorialBoard
- Mary, Tracy, Robert, Darien, Erin, and Dana: Without
the constant support of my
colleagues, this year would
most likely have been disastrous. The diversity of this
group ensured that the Torch
remained neutral and objective, and subscribes to the highest of standards. I will never
forget any of these individual&
and I am thankful to them not
only for the roles they played
on the staff, but also for the
friendships they extended to
me.
• The Torch staff: Again,
the support of staff members
was instrumental to the success the Torch achieved this
year. Anincrediblydiverseand
dedicated group, they provided me the reassurance that
I did not have to do it all by
myself.
• The LCC Community:
Without a community to present our product to, all our efforts would be in vain. I have
appreciated each and every
response we have received,
whether they were critical or
supportive. The notion that
we've reached somebody, regardless of their response, has
provided myself, and the staff,
with themomentumnecessary
to carry us forth into the next
issue.
Thank you all for a wonderful experience and a great year
(sob, sob, sob).

Aim of newspaper is to inform, not please

Recently, I've heard a number of
students grumbling about the lack of
political awareness and activism on the
part of this year's Torch staff. Usually
cited is the Torch's seeming lack of
"poll tical correctness" on issues of interest to certain segments of LCC' s student population.
Besides personally loathing the term
"politically correct," my four plus years
of newspaper experience- both at the
"big city daily" and collegiate levelshas shown me that it is not the job of a
responsible newspaper to please only a
portion of its reading public.
The role of a responsible newspaper
is to report the news as it happens, not
as it perceives it happening. When it
comes to stating political opinions, those
opinions (and all other editorializing)
should remain on the Opinion/Editorial (Op-Ed) pages.
Those of us who work on the Torch
feel we do our best to uphold those
standards.
During the 1990-91 school year, the
Torch has published commentaries by a
number of students. The subject matter
and political orientation of these commentaries has been diverse.

Jim Jarboe wrote about subjects
ranging from animal rights to Americanindustry'sinsensitivitytoworker's

number of occasions; John Unger offered opinions about student activism
and analyzed the campaigns of both
Barbara Roberts and Fred Oerther; Trish
Rosewood spoke her mind about childcare issues; and I, myself, wrote commentary from both a serious and a
satirical point of view, about subjects
ranging from giving Christmas gifts to
abject selfishness.
All of theses pieces were labeled as
commentary and were limited to the
Op-Ed pages.
In the months before the 1990 election day, the Torch also printed several
editorials and commentaries about
political issues. In fact, the Torch received a public service award from the
American Scholastic Press Association
for its coverage of the Measure 5 issue.
Taking a stand on an issue is the
function of any newspaper's editorial,
and this must be done in a responsible
manner. Beingresponsibleincludesex-

To the Editor,
It is a shame an issue as
important as financial aid could
not warrant a non-bias news
story instead of a commentary
piece. While I have serious
differences with the interpretation of rules regulations and
recommendations by the director of Financial Aid, Linda
Waddell (She disallowed me
from receiving the full tuition
scholarship I was entitled to as
ASLCC president), Waddell's
recent trip to D.C. to testify on
the re-authorization of the
Higher Education Act of 1965
was not even mentioned in the

I have always found her and,
generally speaking, the Financial Aid Department, as well,
willing to listen to students.
She has long been in favor of
increasing the percentage of
grants available to students,
which would decrease the
numberofloans many students
are now forced to take out just

an easy way to tear at a person

Waddell:
effective leader

To the Editor,
The May 17 Torch commentary attempts to illumine several facts about the college's financial aid office, its duties and
its recent history. Some deserve
reporting, but additional emphasis should be given to their
significance.
Most important is that when
Linda Waddell assumed control of the administration of
Financial Aid at Lane, the college was facing, as reported,
"in excess of $500,000 in Federal government fines." Had
the college not resolved this
issue, some current Lane students and many recent graduates simply would not have
been funded by a college expe-

amining an issue from both sides and
using valid facts (and/ or criteria) to
support each particular editorial stand.
A diatribe based solely on emotion and/
or uniformed opinion, is not a responsible editorial.
This does not mean an editorial
should only take tame stands on issues.
What it does mean, however, is that if a
radical stand is taken, it must be be
comprised of good editorial standards.
These standards include researching
facts, studying both sides of the issue,
being fair, and a willingness to stand by
and take the heat for whatever position
is taken.
If an editorial holds to these standards, and receives a fair amount of
criticism, it has achieved its purpose.
The Torch has done news stories on
most all of the major issues affecting
LCCin 1990-91.Coveragewasgiven to
changes in Financial Aid Office policies and the Athletic Department; the
Torch reported on the troubles in the
Flight Tech Department; regular coverage was given to ASLCC meetings, LCC
student achievements, and other issues
concerning the LCC community.
The Torch has given more coverage
to some things than to others. This,
however, has not been by design or
with political insensitivity. Deciding

which subjects are to be covered is oftentimes a difficult decision for the Torch
staff. The importance of an incident is
not al ways the only thing the staff must
consider in deciding which stories will
get news coverage. There are deadline
and space constraints. There are staffing shortages with reporters which
make it difficult to blanket every happening at LCC. Also, the Torch faces the
same budget constraints as other LCC
departments:_
Often, and especially recently,
peoplehavenotagreed withstaffmembers' printed comments on certain
subjects (i.e. student government and
the Financial Aid Office).° Any newspaper worth the pa per it's printed on Ii ves
withcriticismandcontroversy. The editorial board of the Torch does not get offended when it hears disagreement; it
welcomes it.
The members of the 1990-91 Torch
staff hope future staff members will
continue to report the news fairly and
accurately, be willing to challenge
people in positions of responsibility,
and take stands on the controversial
issues at LCC.
This newspaper has too much tradition to become the mouthpiece for
special interests, bureaucrats, or the
"politically correct."

riencing Federal sanctions. It is
important to students at Lane
that under Waddell's leadership, the college has brought
institutional policies into accord with federal guidelines. It
is also true that policy decisions have consistently been
made with regular participation by Lane students, faculty,
and staff.
Some former employees
were uncomfortable with efforts to change department
policies. As the Torch commentary makes clear, some of them,
five years later, persist in a
dubious battle against necessary and appropriate efforts to
bring Financial Aid administration at Lane into compliance with Federal regulation.
As reported, the department
has developed a booklet to
assist students with the financial aid process. We encourage

Satire insulting

To the Editor,
In your (May 10) issue of the
Torch there was an article concerning the misconceptions of
men, written by Woodrow
Hardly. I realize the word sat-

ire was present but I found the
humor quite infantile and the
article very insulting.
Perpetuating myths and
stereotypes (even in jest) of men
and women is wrong. If you're
going to give space for articles
dealing with male/ female issues, I would hope you would
take the time to write a quality
piece rather than treating it as
a joke. Personally I'm really
sick of those kind of jokes they're just not funny!

To the Editor,
I've worked with Linda
Waddell for five years, developingcomputer systems for the
Financial Aid Office. Waddell
is a fair and skillful professional. She expects, and receives, professionalism from
those she works with. This she
obtains by sincere and open
management style - not by
coercion.
Financial aid systems are
massive and complex. LCC
simply has no control over

Despite low income, travel
opportunities do exist
by Shane Wells
Torch Staff Writer

For the travelling student with
somewhat limited funds, there are
options to help make "getting away
from it all" or even "getting out to it
all," affordable. Three options available
to low budget travelers can be easily
accessed by locals with wanderlust.
• The Green Tortoise
To arrive in comfort and meet
interesting people in the process, the
Green Tortoise busline is an alternative
to the standard transportation.
The touring routes take passengers
justaboutanywhereinNorthA merica,
for a comparatively reasonable price.
Voyagers can expect an adventure
unlikely to be found with any o~l'!er
type of transportation.
Some of the unique places the
Tortoise visits include Alaska;
Yellowstone National Park; The Grand
Canyon; Baja, Mexico; Chicago; New
York;and Boston-to name just a few.
Anyone considering the Green
Tortoise for a mode of transportation
can make a reservation or get more
information by callingl-800-227-4766.
In addition, Green Tortoise information
booklets are available at the Student
Resource Center.
• Hostels

providing
accommodations for under $10, with
locations virtually everywhere in the
United States and other parts of North
America, as well as in Europe, Asia,
Australia, and South America.
Membership is required, but is very
inexpensive at $25 a year for an adult
(18 years of age and above). For those

• Budget Traveler

Another way to unearth cheaper
means of travel is to read the Budget
Traveller magazine.
The Budget Traveller is a free
publication put out by Council Travel.
Each issue is designed to provide
information on "shoestring" travel
through a specific region, as well as let
people know the cultural and political
standpoint of the region at the time of
publication.

'91-92 ASLCC officers sworn in at Senate meeting

by John Unger
Torch Staff Writer

The May 20 ASLCC Senate
meeting was highlighted by the
swearing of 1991-92 ASLCC
officers. In addition, the '90-91
Senate rallied around the need
for a clearer definition of affirmative action policy for LCC.

According to Cultural Director Trish Rosewood, LCC
President Jerry Moskus addressed affirmative action
during a budget committee
meeting the previous week,
where he mentioned hiring an
administrator to deal with affirmative action issues, and that
a tentative LCC affirmative
action progression tobe drawn
up and then considered by the
first of June.
Sen. Tony Rice said Portland Community College's
affirmative action program
organizer will be speaking at
LCC on May 30 in Center 8.
Other business:
• Rice said that the ASLCC

co-sponsored pow-wow at
McArthur Court was a success.
"It was really, really good to
see a lot of brown, beautiful
people out there dancing in
their native dress," he said.
• The Senate approved ratification of the Majors Club, a
student club intended to improve transfer transition between LCC and the U of 0.

• Newly-elected Sen. Paul

Barella reported on the progress of a committee working to
avoid the arbitrary cutting of

the college will suffer a $1.2
million shortfall from the current fiscal year, with possible
shortfalls of $4 to $6 million

Eggs he Ils

L"._., •,,;_,;-

I know what it must feel like to drown. To thrash wildly
beneath the surface, trying to hold enough oxygen in lungs
that ache from trying and the need of fresh air. To see the
world above, beyond, distorted by the pressing environment all about my struggling body. Grasping at anything
that might pull me to that distant, blurred place above.
Knowing that unless I can somehow escape this hostile
world, consciousness will abandon me. For a little while my
body would perhaps go on without feeling, like a dulled
robot, but even that automation would soon desert me.
I know what it must feel like to drown because I fell into
the world of an angry, violent man. I thought I could save
him, hold him up, and not lose myself in the process. I
didn't realize until I was in too far, until I had two babies,
that I could not get back to safety. I was struggling to
survive that hostile place, grasping to pull my vulnerable,
toddling sons to a better, gentler life. But I was entangled in
poverty, the welfare system, and my lack of an adequate
education. My high school diploma earned me minimum
wage jobs, never enough to escape. I knew that unless I
could somehow get away and support my sons, my mind
would break; I would die in this, and my children with me."
From that place in my life, that point at which I knew I
was drowning in the violence, I took an adult education
course at LCC called "Walking on Eggshells," I learned
about abusive relationships, about why people get into
them, and why it's so hard to escape them. More importantly, I discovered a lot about my own processes in
enabling the abuse I received. I saw how much of my own
ego I had invested in "saving" this man, how my own low
self-esteem fed my fear of him and convinced me that I
could not take care of myself. That class was a line that I
could grasp onto. It was the impetus to my taking up the
shreds of my self-esteem and demanding a better life.
Achieving that distant, blurred vision of a life outside of

abuse and violence was a long, painful journey. It required
my getting a divorce and sole custody of my sons. It meant
g1vmg up my home in the mountains to move to Eugene,
away from my only known support networks. I had to
budget my welfare checks down to the last penny and
continually struggle through the sometimes incomprehensible regulations of Adult and Family Services to feed my
children. But I made it. I found myself and discovered that I
am strong.
I enrolled as a credit student at LCC in 1988. On the first
day of my first class the instructor said, "I am here to teach
what I know. Please squeeze all the knowledge you can get
out of me; that is your right as a student.' It was continually
amazing to me that I had rights, that I was in control of what
and how I wanted to learn. I would never be the same. This
was fertile soil in which I could do and become anything. It
only required my dedication and hard work.
I am almost done at LCC. I am off welfare. And in the fall
of 1992 I will transfer to complete my bachelor's and
master's degrees in human services and social work, in
order to counsel abused children. I look at my own children
and am impressed with the tenacity of the very young. With
support, encouragement and unconditional love, they have
overcome a world of pains. I want to offer that to other
children, to show them that there is a way to live that does
not involve violence ar abuse. I want to exemplify that there
is hope.
LCC has been a mirror for me in which I have at last
been able to see my own abilities and esteem, and I carry
that into the rest of my life. I can pass that mirror on to
children in need, then I will have done a good thing. I will
say to them, "/ can't change your world, but I will listen to
you and have respect for your needs, fears, and desires. I
will love you unconditionally. That is your right as a child." A
special place did that for me once; it began with a class
about eggshells.

lristructor offers path to complete political activism
by John Unger
Torch Staff Writer

Limited public political
sophistication and understanding may hinder Steve
Candee' s pursuit of creating
more participation in the
political process. And, the
possibility of LCC's budget
shrinking, due to the passage
of Ballot Measure 5, also
stands as potential roadblocks
to his ambitions.

zen could act," in regards to
the property tax issue.
Citing that the press, and
by extension, other media, has
a public responsibility due to
being the only private industry protected under the U.S.
Constitution (the First
Amendment), Candee believes that the media failed to
be responsible in this case.

his personal politics do not
affect his intern allocations.
Six of his Salem interns this
term work in the offices of
Republican legislators, and
the majority of the interns he
has sent to the county commissioners' offices work with
more "conservative" commissioners.

Candee points out that
political science interns from
LCC averaged about three per
term for four or five years.
Since he has been working as
an SFE coordinator, he says,
the number of those positions
has gradually grown to the 26
interns he is supervising this
term.

"Simply engaging in political activism without an
appreciation or an understanding of what is really
required to enhance your effectiveness can result in a very
frustrating experience," he
adds. "Cynics are often frustrated idealists."
I

The interns who work with
Candee experience some level
of success, including a more
balanced perspective of what
is involved with being politically active.
Some students, such as
current Denali editor Robin
Robbins, have been "ideal"
interns. Robbins literally put
together State Sen. Graten
•Kerans' one-day alternative
fuel symposium, bringing
people from all over the country to speak.
Another intern, Jason
Oatis, has worked with
•Clergy And Laity Concerned
(CALC) for two terms, and
has become a qualified draft
counselor. Other interns have
attained paid political positions.
Candee says he has gradually learned to incorporate the
skills he gained as a student
activist himself within his
current role of educating students about the frustrating
and grueling aspects of idealistic striving.

Candee is strict about interns fulfilling his requirements. In addition to the field
experience work, he requires
them to state their goals, to
keep a journal listing their experiences, and to evaluate
their progress when finished.
"What they learn from
their work is what is important," he says. Interns learn
writing and communication
skills, the legislative process,
grassroots organizing, and
the frustration, successes, and
failures of politics.
Three interns this term, two
of whom expressed interest
in environmental law careers,
are working in Peter
Sorensen's law office, doing
legal research. Sorensen is an
LCC Board member and runs
the largest environmental law
firm in the Northwest.

On the weekends, Candee
performs as a solo guitarist at
the Windward Inn in
Florence. His musical style is
as eclectic as his political
perspectives, primarily including a combination of folkrock, blues, and country
styles.

fected by their experience,"
Candee says.

"It's not that I want to create an army of political scientists," he says, ''but I think we
could go a long way in raising
the political sophistication of
the American public, and in
training people for work in
the public sector."

Candee, currently a halftime teacher, supervised field
experience (SFE) coordinator,
and OSPIRG faculty advisor,
is seeking a full-time LCC
position. He says his half-time
status limits his role of teaching political science courses
(usually American Government) to one class per term
and restricts his coordinating
of cooperative education for
political science majors doing
internships (as legislative
assistants, working on political campaigns, or working
with grassroots or public interest research groups).

"Perhaps we wouldn't
even be in the position of
having to deal with Ballot
Measure 5 if we had a more
informed electorate," Candee
says. "If people understood
during the campaigns that the
majority of the tax relief was
going to go to business and
industry . . . as opposed to
residential property tax relief,
I'm not sure that the support
for Measure 5 would have
been as strong."
One major factor of this
confusion, Candee says, is
that the media failed, in Walter Lippman' s words, to
"provide an accurate picture
of reality upon which a citi-

Steve Candee believes the key to political activism is understanding what is required to enhance effectiveness.

Following his arrest, Bond was put on 30-day

President for Student Services Bob Marshall.
He adds thatthecollegehasoffered a "return

Bond has yet to sign the agreement, Marshall
says, in order to review the stipulations with

legal representation provided by the college's
faculty union.
However, Marshall says that Bond has indicated he would comply to all stipulations of the
agreement. "It appears that if the statement is

"I'm not anticipating any problems at all,".

Marshall chose not to reveal any stipulations

Flight Tech
Chair fired

Following a four-month
independent audit of the LCC
Flight Technology Department, coupled with the
college's own investigation,
LCC President Jerry Moskus
fired Department Chair Terry
HagbergonAug.10, 1990.
Results of the audit were not
released to the press. Hagberg
claimed he had been given no
clear reason for his firing, and
that there was nothing in the
audit which he considered to
be damaging.
Moskus maintained that he
made his decision "in the best
interest of the institution."
In accordance with his contract, Hagberg was reassigned
within the college for a sixmonth period before his termination would take effect.
Shortly after, Hagberg filed
a grievance against the college
which challenged his dismissal.
The grievance would have
been reviewed the the LCC
Board ofEducation. However,
Hagberg resigned in December to start a rival flight school,
Avia Flight Services, in Corvallis. Joining Hagberg at Avia
were 12 Flight Tech staff
members, including Chief
flight Instructor Ron Gustafson, who is a partner in the
firm.
Also defecting to Avia was
Kawadalndustries,aJapanese
firm which had contracted with
the Hagberg-administered

loss of a contract that brought

annually.

Area protests
over Gulf war

The Jan. 16 outbreak of the
war to liberate Kuwait was
paralleled by an outpouring of
protests locally and across the
country.
On campus, a student club,
War Is Not the Answer
(WINTA), was formed, teachins were held to allow students
and staff alike to discuss the
situation, and support groups
for members of the campus
community with loved ones in
the gulf were started.
In Eugene, initial demonstrations were organized by
anti-war protesters, including

camp outside the Federal
Building. Eugene police
worked overtime to control the
thousands of gathered vigilants.
Firebombings of the local
U.S. Army Reserve Center and
the Internal Revenue Service
Building marked rfsing tensions as the war escalated.
Police said that the two incidences appeared to be connected. Investigators stopped
short of accusing anti-war
protesters, despite "peace literature" found at the scene of
the reserve center bombing.
Eventually, though, the two
local protesting factions joined
forces for a march in support of
troops serving in the Middle
East.
By the April 30 cease fire,
protest activity had died down
considerably, with only a handful of activists continuing the
vigils at the Federal Building.

The Torch

Though the "honeymoon"
isover,campus-wide, the consensus seems to be that
Moskus' leadership is efficient,
fair, and collaborative. He has
received praise in evaluations
from classified staff and faculty, as well as the Board of
Education.
After a nationwide search
to fill the positions for Vice
President of Instruction and an
inter-campus search to fill the
VicePresidentofStudentServices post, both positions were
filled by the interim vice presidents, respectively Jim Ellison
and Bob Marshall.
In January, Moskus invited
the campus community's inputona plan to restructure the
administrative chain of responsibility. Under the new plan,
the executive dean's and two
other positions would be eliminated, a new Vice President's
post and an administrative
assistant's position were de-

veloped, and the community
and economic development
programs would begin to report to the new-vice president,
instead of the Office of Instruction.
As part the reorganization,
Executive Dean Larry Warford
was slated for a promotion to
the post of Vice President of
Community and Economic
Development. However, complaints from several constituencies on campus that
Warford' s appointment would
violate affirmative action principles have prompted changes
in the original plan.
Planning to complete the
transition by the end of May,
Moskus implemented the restructuring on May 17 after
receiving confirmation from
the LCC Board of Education,
but has not yet appointed
anyone to the new vice
president's post. Instead, he has
called for a review of the decision by affirmative action experts, and hopes to conclude
the issue by the end of May.

•State colleges
cut programs

• Voter passage of Ballot
Measures resulted in program
cuts at Oregon public educational institutions, snags in
transfer student's plans, and
increased tuition at LCC.
On Jan. 29, University of
Oregon President Myles Brand
announced a proposal in which
more than 20 academic programs at the university would
be closed, reorganized, or
merged as a result of the property tax limitation passed in
November. Most hard hit was
the College of Education,
which would be closed, except
for Counseling Psychology. In
addition to program cuts, the
college proposed to drop student enrollment from18,000
students to 16,000 students.
Tuition and fees would increase from a yearly $1,970 to
$2,665.
Other state colleges proposed program cuts, including Eastern Oregon State
College's computer sciences
program. Portland State University proposed to cut or suspend 12 degree programs.
The cuts by the U of O and
other colleges forced transfer
students to reconsiderfouryear
plans. As the U of O would not
be offering several programs,
as well as charging higher tuition and offering fewer spaces,
many students found_themselves having to change majors or intended universities.

On campus, loss of revenue
due to Ballot Measure 5 caused
the formation of the tuition
committee, which decided to
charge in-state students per
credit for the 1991-92 school
year. Students currently pay
$276 per term for12 credits or
above, and are not charged
above .12 credits.

Athletic
uncertaintly
The state of athletics at LCC
changed dramatically during
1990-91.
Dale Bates, after 18 years,
announced his retirement as
men's basketball coach; Bob
Foster resigned as LCC's Athletic Director; and, a committee set up to study the feasibility of streamlining athletics at
LCC, in light of future budget
shortfalls, recommended the
elimination of four intercollegiate sports if the present eight
sports could not be adequately
funded.
Bates was honored for his
service to LCC during a
halftime tribute on Feb. 13,
1991. Citing his wish to "relax
and do some fishing" and his
.frustration with athletic funding problems, Bates .stepped
down as coach after compiling
a 305-204 record and six conference championships. During his tenure at LCC, Bates
also taught Physical Education
classes and served for a time as
Athletic Director.
Foster resigned his post as
LCC' s Athletic Director on May
14, 1991, after five years in the
position. In his resignation letter to Vice President of Student
Services Bob Marshall, Foster

said family concerns were his
reason for resigning.

Creed recommended the cutting of four sports from LCC' s
intercollegiate athletics (volleyball, baseball, and men's and
women's cross country) if the
current eight sports could not
be funded at levels adequate
enough to field quality teams.
President Moskus and LCC' s
Board of Education will make
a decision on this issue sometime in June or July 1991.

Measure 5/
LCC tax base

The passage of both Ballot
Measure 5 and the LCC tax
base increase in the Nov. 6,
1990 general election brought
an aura of good, bad, and outright uncertainty to LCC, and
public schools throughout the
state.
While Measure 5 was defeated in Lane County, it received a majority of support
from the Portland-Metro area.
The property tax limitation put
a $25 cap for each $1,000 of
assessed property value. A
gradual decrease of $2.50 per
year in property taxes until
1995-96 will eventually give
public schools only $5 per
$1,000 in assessed value.
By fiscal year 1995-96, LCC
could realize cu ts of up to $16
million as a result of the measure. With other secondary colleges around the state experiencing drastic program cuts
and elimination of entire
schools, LCC has thus far
weathered the storm relatively
unscathed.
Although the wordage of
Measure 5 requires the state
general fund to replace any
revenue lost by public schools

existing levels of basic school
support and community col•
lege support."
Initially, a cut of $2.3 million to balance the 199~91 LCC
budget was avoided with the
passage of the LCC tax base.
Although the mandate by voters gives LCC a $3.75 million
increase in tax revenue, college officials will not know if
the base is to be allowed until
July.
The state legislature could
limit the tax base to that of the
now-defunct l~year-old base
of $15.9 million plus six percent.

Bond arrested
Sheriff's deputies arrested
LCC Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator Harvey Bond
on campus Thursday, March
28. He was charged with two
counts of tampering with drug
records and possession of a
controlled sub.stance. He was
released on his own recognizance later that day.
At his arraignment on
March 29, Bond entered a plea
of not guilty to the charges. He
eventually changed his plea to
guilty, however, at a mandatory May 17 appearance in Lane
County Circuit Court.
One charge of tampering
was dropped in exchange for
the change in plea.
Sentencing has been set for
June 24. Tampering with drug
records is a Class C felony and
carries a maximum prison term
of five years.
Bond, himself a recovering
addict, told the Torch on April
4, "I did suffer a relapse on
prescription paid medicine.

due to the limits, an executive
summary by LCC Administrative Services states, "The legislature is not required to replace

and I shouldn't have," he said.
Vice President for Student
Services Bob Marshall said on
May 24 that the college has

offered a "return to work"
agreement that would allow
Bond to resume his duties at
LCC in Fall Term, 1991.
Marshall added that Bond
has not yet signed the agreement, so that his legal representation - provided to him
by the LCC faculty union can review the agreement with
him. However, Marshall sa.ys
that he expects that Bond will
sign the agreement after review
and will in fact return to his
duties at LCC.
Bond is currently undergoing treatment at a chemical
dependency agency in Newberg.

-Financial Aid
LCC's financial aid recipients experienced many
changes during the 1990-91
school year.
Even before classes started
in September 1990, those receiving financial aid were required to wait until the end of
the second week of classes to
receive their cash disbursements.
However, the Financial Aid
and Financial Services offices,
in tandem with the LCC bookstore, made arrangements for
students receiving financial aid
to purchase books and supplies
oncredit,duringthefirstweek
of classes, against already
approved financial aid awards.
In February 1991, the Financial Aid Office announced that
it had overcommitted the
amount of monies paid out in
financial aid grants and as a
result, Perkins Loan and College Work Study awards
would have to be cut for the
Spring 1991 term.
Money from a Student Services fund, earmarked to remodel the bookstore, was
committed to the Financial Aid
Office to ease the impact of the
miscalculation.
As of Spring 1991, financial
aid recipients leaving LCC are
required to attend exit interviews with the Financial Aid
Office. The new policy, suggested to the school by the U.S.
DepartmentofEducation,outlines repayment and other proced ures to insure a smaller
percentage of student loan
defaults.

Child care
Students mandated a $5
increase in student fees to aid
student child care needs in the
1991 ASLCC spring elections.
Receiving over 75 percent

photo by Dana Krizan

of the vote, the measure did
not designate specifically how
the money would be used to
alleviate child care needs.
According to ASLCC Cultural Director Trish Rosewood,
the management and the
administration of the fund
would be controlled by studentmembersof the Child Care
Advisory Committee. The
committee held an organizational meeting the day after
the election, on Thursday, May

9.

After five child .care task
forces, the administration and
the board of education opted
to implement the proposals of
child care consultant David
Andrews, whose final report
on LCC' s child care needs and
potential solutions to problems
was presented at the March 13
Board of Education meeting.
To meet those recommendations, the college posted an
opening for the position of
Director of the Child Care Information and Referral Network, and made plans to begin
a cooperative childcare center
on campus, though no space
has yet to be designated for the
center.

OSPIRG is a non-profit organization that concentrates on
issues such as the environment,

The group tries to focus on
varied issues each term, as well
as being an information network for students. Last fall,
OSPIRG sponsored a Voter

Other successful projects

• The second motion Waddell presented
requested the elimination of certain questions
on the FAF form used to establish aid eligibility.
Criteria concerning displaced homemakers and
dislocated workers affect only a small
percentage of the applicants, yet "everybody
filling out the forms still has to plow through
them," says Waddell. She asked Congress to
continue to authorize special consideration for
special cases, but to administer it under "the
rubric of professional judgement, without
cluttering up the form."
• On the Application for Federal Student Aid
(AFSA), Waddell outlined a change in the "socalled" Simple Needs Test.
"We recommend (Congress) repeal the
Simple Needs Test, and create instead an
'application bypass' for very low-income filers.
Permit those applicants to ... skip all the more
detailed questions about income and assets ...

• CSS laid out a plan to integrate the need
analysis methodologies of the Pell Grant and
Part Finto one. Says Waddell, "Further research
and analysis ... will be required to ensure that

it does not produce unintended redistributional
effects or other dislocations." The College Board
offered its cooperation with any Congressional
efforts to achieve this.
• The fifth proposal addressed the current
requirement that students personally present
Student Aid Reports (SAR) before a college can
pay on a Pell Grant. CSS asked that Congress
"permitaninstitution topayaPellGranton the
basis of an official result," whether it may be
from a certified processor, mailed or handdelivered by the applicant. This would result,
Waddell says, in a more timely delivery of
award notifications and actual monies to
students.
• Wad dell's final suggestion focused on the
need to present information and guidance to
potential aid applicants at an earlier point in
time. More information and guidance is needed
to increase the number of disadvantaged
students who enroll in, and succeed at, higher
education, according to Waddell.
She proposed engaging college students to
work in outreach programs for junior high and
high school students, and recommended an
expansion of the "Congressional Teacher
Scholarship Programs" to include students
preparing for careers in guidance counseling.
In her conclusion, Waddell acknowledged
that "distributing finite dollars on th~ basis of
relative financial need is a complex
undertaking," but stated that "the complexity
should lie in the tough policy decision that

LCC to lose athletic programs and director
by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

LCC athletics suffered a dual blow
onMay16whenacommitteeap pointed
to study athletics recommended cutting four programs and Athletic Director Bob Foster resigned.
Sports Program Cuts

A nine-member committee, appointed by LCC Vice President for
Student Services Bob Marshall, recommended cutting volleyball, baseball,
and men's and women's cross country,
if money isn't made available in the
school's budget to adequately fund all
eight intercollegiate sports currently
offered at a LCC.
"For the last two years," said
Marshall, "all the coaches have agreed
that rather than having their sports cut
back or not being able to add enough
money to them, that they would rather
field fewer sports than struggle."
Although the committee's written
recommendations initially appeared to
support retaining all eight sports programs at current funding levels, Committee Chair Bob Creed stated in a May
21 public hearing, "There is no disagreement with the coaches here. We
would like to keep all of the programs,
but if the money's not available, we
agree some programs have to be cut."

Athletic Director Bob Foster ponders the future of athletics at LCC.
According to the committee's report,
an addition of $15,544 to the current
budget of $63,567 for athletic teams is
needed to field "quality" programs for
track and field and basketball. The
committee further stated that an additional $86,523 would be needed to fund
all eight sports at a quality level.
Marshall will submit his own rec-

ommendations to LCC President Jerry
Moskus, who in turn will report to the
Board of Education on June 10. A final
decision is likely to be made at tha ttime
or in the near future.
Foster Resigns

Citing the need to spend more time
with his family, Athletic Director Bob
Foster submitted his resignation to Vice

President Bob Marshall on May 13.
Foster's resignation, which was accepted by the LCC Board of Education
on May 15, will take·effectJune8, 1991.
Foster says the hardest part of being
Athletic Director is "always trying to
justify athletic programs.
"We never seemed to have enough
money," says Foster. ''I probably would
still be here (as athletic director) if there
was enough money to support athletics. My feeling is the college does not
support (athletics)."
Foster, who also coaches the baseball team, says his decision to resign
was partially influenced by a
committee's recommendation to cut the
baseball program at LCC. "I think (cutting baseball) was kind of the straw
that broke the camel's back. I really
wouldn't feel like part of the Athletic
Department if I wasn't coaching."
Despite his dissatisfaction with recent budgeting problems at LCC, Foster looks positively on his experience as
Athletic Director.
"It gave me a chance to learn about
administration. I enjoyed the job and I
appreciate those in the administration
who supported us."
Foster, who has been an instructor
and a coach at LCC since 1975, will
transfer to the Health and P.E. Department and continue working as an instructor.

Track teams head for NWAACC finals on May 24-25
by Robert Catalano

Torch Sports Editor

The LCC men's and women's track teams will be
competingonMay24-25inSp okaneattheNorthwest
Athletic Association of Community Colleges
(NWAACC) Track and Field Championships.
Track coach Larry Callaway thinks his sprinters
will do well. "Shawna (Krasowski) should win the
400-meter (sprint race) and Renelle (Jeppsen) should
win 400 hurd1es. And even thouzh Michelle Lanning

doesn't have much experience in the 800-meter, she
won in the regionals and I expect her to do well.
Callaway also likes the chances the women' s4Xl 00
and 4X400 relay teams. "The only way they'll lose is
if someone gets hurt or they drop the baton."
Joe Cowles and Jeff Reilly are the best hopes for the
Titan men's team. Cowles won the javelin throwing
event in the conference regionals on May 10, and
Reilly won the high jump. Callaway also expects the
men's 4X100 relay team to do well in the championships.

"We may be able to place a little higher in the
championships than in the regianais (the women finished fourth and the men's team sixth)," explains
Callaway.
"There will be more schools competing in Spokane
and since we will probably do real well in the sprint
races," adds Callaway. "Our lack of numbers shouldn't
hurt us so much."
The NW AACC championships will be the final
competition for the men's and women's 191 track
season.

Knee injury forces Stonelake to quit basketball

by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor

Kelli Stonelake' s lifelong
pursuit of her dream to play
basketball at the University of
Oregon has ended in disappointment.

"My mom understands, bu tit's
taken a little time for my father
to adjust," Stonelake says.
"He's kind of lived sports
through me. Butl think he kind
of accepts it now."

The former Siuslaw High
School star and LCC's all-time
leading scorer in women's
basketball, has been ad vised
by her orthopedist to either
"quit playing or get a knee
replacement."

Stonelake' s knee problems
have also affected her performances for LCC' s track team.
"Before this year," she explains,
"I hadn't lost a 200-meter
sprint race since I was a sophomore in high school." (LCC
teammate Shawna Krasowski
has beaten Stonelake consistently in 1991) . â–º

''When I lost (races), I lost a
lot of confidence and I couldn't
figureoutwhy," she adds. "I'm
happyfor(Krasowski). She deserves to be where she is. She's
worked her butt off, but to be
honest, I hate not winning. It's
hard to deal with."

"Dr.James said the bones in
my knee have splintered," says
Stonelake, who has had two
knee operations. "He told me
my knees were as old as my
Mom's."

Kelli Stonelake

Before the 1990-9i season
started, Stonelake says she was
warned by her doctor about
playing basketball. ''When I
hurt my knee before (in August of 1990), he told me not to
play, but I did anyway."
Stonelake' s family has had
mixed reactions about her an11ouncement to quit playing.

Although she is proud of
her basketball accomplishments at LCC, Stonelake believes her knee injury prevented her from giving her
best. "I thinklcould have done
better." she says. "But my knees
hurt on and off all se,.son and I
think it held me back psychologically."

"I'm glad I came here,"
Stonelake says about attending LCC. "Here the teachers
care about you and your
grades. I'm kind of nervous
about going to the university
because it's so big and there
~

are so many students that the
teachers don't have much time
to get to know you, much less
care about you."
Having a future without
basketball will be tough for
Stonelake, "It's going to be hard
not playing basketball anymore," she says. "I won my
first free-throw competition in
the fourth grade. Basketball
was my life and I'll miss it."

Coast. Siporin, however, is
always out in the community,
making contacts and meeting
people.
As Hein sees it, he's here in
Eugene, "plugging away," and
reporting on people who, like
himself, live here for the quality of life they find .
On the whole, he finds his
work rewarding and challenging, but sometimes obstacles
can get in the way of doing the
job.

some lows, and I wonder what

I'm doing here," says Siporin.
"Dave Frohnmayer refused
to allow me to be on the gubernatorial debate panel. .. he
didn't want me asking the
questions. I'm just now working ona story where the district
attorney refused to grant me
an interview ... that's pretty
frustrating when that happens.
All you can do is conclude the
story with 'so and so refused to
comment.'"
"Some people think Alan has
this ideological slant," says
Hein. "That's just not true."
"I find that people are very
open, and I think it's because I
really am sincerely out to tell
their side of the story," says
Siporin.
"I clearly have an environmental bias. But when I go and
interview loggers and millworkers, I feel completely in
touch with them. I'm very
sympathetic and empathetic to
where they're coming from,
and I think that comes across in
the reporting. One of the qualities I bring to my work is a
strong human element."
Siporin also commands the
confidence and respect of his
colleagues.
"I don't really measure
somebody's performance by
awards," says Hein. Siporin's
excellence, he says, is well reflected by the work he does,
not by the awards he has received.
" ... It is a slightly different
craft (radio), but when you're
doing it for several million
people, it's got to be done
right," saysSiporin. "You can't
make mistakes."
"He's a professional. . .
probably one of the best in the
business," says Hein.

Student plays 'impressive'
review by Luke Strahota
Torch Staff Writer

Aging, old friends, facing death, independence, finding love, jealousy, senility, and close
friendship are a few of the aspects that make up
the LCC Blue Door Theatre production of" An
Evening of New Plays." The plays, which were
written, directed, and produced by LCC students, offer an impressive reflection of the talents students possess.
"Tuesday' sPhilos," written by Theresa Sloan
and directed by Jerry E. McClatchey, focuses on
two elderly men who meet every Tuesday to
reminisce about their past. Charlie, played by
Kirk Edward, is a metaphoric speaking poet
who tries to come to grips with with dying by
consoling his old friend and fellow poet, Harry,
played by Mark William Garner. Both Garner
and Harris bring this well-written play to life
with their brilliant performances.
"Flying High," the second play, which was
written by Bjo Ashwill and directed by Sunny
Schneider, depicts the struggle of Carla and
Aaron, two people disabled from birth, as they
strive for independence. Through the play,
Aaron, played by Michael Goldhammer, tries
to tell Carla his true feelings as she waits for an
acceptance letter from NASA regarding her
application to be an astronaut. While waiting,

Milly, a pushy social worker played by Rebecca
Castle, enters the scene, telling Carla she can't
function alone and should go home to her parents or be put into a care home.
Carla's letter is then delivered by Ray the
postman, hilariously played by W .E. Goff. The
letter is read and the outcome determines the
future independence of Carla and Aaron.
Ashwill's play flourishes under the insights of
her personal independence experienced in a
wheelchair.
The final play, "Rabbit's House," carefully
written by Sherry Lady and directed by Bjo
Ash will, brings us into the home of Flora, excellently played by Celeste Rose and her daughter,
Carlotta, played by Theresa Smith. Flora is an
aging, retired puppeteer who's trying to renew
her love with Carlotta. Arnold, played by Mark
William Garner, comes to Flora with great news
that brings out the truth from Carlotta as to why
she's felt so bad about her mother over the
years. Tim Henderson plays Stanley, Carlotta's
newlywed husband who also helps try to bring
mother and daughter together again. With the
help of a masterful script and effective performances, "Rabbit'sHouse" proves to be believably
emotional.
The plays will be performed for the next three
weekends and will begin at 8:00 p.m. For questions, call the L.C.C. box office at 726-2209.

LCC artists exhibit at 5th Street
by Joe Harwood

Torch Staff Writer

Students of LCC's Art and
Applied Design Department
have a rare opportunity to
expose themselves at the 5th
Street Public Market this
month.
Expose their artwork, that
is.
Market officials contacted
the art department when a shop
in the market was left vacated
between leases, hoping to fill
the space on an interim basis.
LCC Ceramic Aide Alex Lanham says that since young and
struggling artists of ten face
difficulty getting their work
into professional galleries for
public exposure, he jumped at
the chance.
"It's an opportunity for artists to have a free outlet," says
Lanham. "We don't take a percentage (of each sale) like other
galleries do."
Lanham says that student
sales thus far have been "pretty
good." He adds that students
who have sold their work are
very excited - and have
gained valuable confidence.
Items for sale include various ceramic works ranging
from ornate pitchers and cups
to "ugly pots." Pen and ink
sketches, along with dynamic
acrylics on canvas, complement the wide variety of art
available;
Pat Clancy, a LCC ceramic
student, volunteers his time
along with other students to
keep the gallery staffed during
business hours. The students
usually work in four hour
shifts.
"It's offered a great opportunity for me to get exposure
as well as other people in the
gallery," he says.

Design class graduates

The LCC Gallery will host an exhibit presented by the
1991 graduating Graphic Design class.
According to Thomas Rubick, Graphic Design program
coordinator, the display, which opens June 3, will feature
a sampling of each student's work.
On June 5, the students' individual portfolios will be reviewed by professional graphic designers in the community. On June 6, during a reception for the public, certificates of completion will be handed out to students graduating from the program. At that time, students' portfolios
will be on display, as well as the graphic design poster,
which features each student's business card design.
"It's usually a pretty high experience," says Rubick of
the graduation/ display.
Rubick says he's seen a lot of growth in this year's design class.
"It's the best dass that I've ever taught."
The exhibit is open through Friday, June 7. The public
is invited to attend the graduation reception on June 6,
from 4-6 p.rn.

"Ceramic Bird House" by Gail Randles is on display at the
5th Street Public Market.

Clancypracticesarelatively
obscure form of ceramic production called blackware. The
originality of the final product
has not only sold some of
Clancy's work, but also garnered him an invitation to display his work at the Coquille
Salmon Bake this year.

Lanham says LCC has a one
month lease on the gallery for
a very reasonable charge. "The
Market is charging us a token
rent on the space."
The LCC Gallery is located
on the southside of the ground
floor at the 5th Street Public
Market in downtown Eugene.

KLCC ... Saying it, playing it, one day at a time
by Kelley Egre
Torch Staff Writer

5a.m.

Good morning. This is KLCC
inEugeneand KLCOinNewport
beginning our broadcast day . ..
KLCC and KLCO are licensed as
noncommercial stations under the
authority of the Federal Communications Commission . . . We
hope you enjoy our broadcast day.
KLCC/KLCO' soffice space,
located on the second floor of
the LCC Forum Building, is
somewhat cramped. Filled
with dividers, small offices,
taping rooms, an on-the-air
room, and a newsroom, the
area is about the size of the
LCC cafeteria's smoking section.
Walking through the front
door, one feels as though they
are in amaze. Turning left, then
quickly right, you find one of
the only open doors at 5:00 a.m.
It all begins in the newsroom
equipt with a computer, five
large desks piled high with the
day's newspapers, new copy,
a variety of books, and Jenny
Newtson's steaming semifresh cup of herbal tea sitting
on the burner of a mug warmer.
Meanwhile, Newtson is in
the air room straight ahead and
to the far right finishing her
first announcement over the
FM airways.

Good Morning . .. it's 5:00 at
KLCC in Eugene and KLCO in
Newport, this is Jenny Newtson.
It's early on this Wednesday morning, the sun just
barely peeking over the horizon. Most early risers are either experiencing their first
yawn or begging for just one
moreminuteof sleep. ButJenny
N ewtson, KLCC/ KLCO' s
Morning Edition Host has been
up since 3:45 a.m., as she is
every day, preparing for her
four-hour all-news radio show.
Arriving at the studio
around 4:45 a.m., she quickly
picksuptheday'snewspapers,
turns the office lights on, prepares her rundown for the day,
tidies up the newsroom, prints
the weather and early news reports, signs the radio station
on, and says "good morning."
Then, still hustling, she cleans
up after the previous oight's
volunteers to ready it for volunteers who arrive at six, prepares newscasts and tapings,
outs the weather forecast on
the reader board, looks over
the day's news, and reads over
the public service announcements.
Newtson, after seven years
of broadcasting at KLCC, says
her job still holds constant
stress.
"Halfofthisjobiswingingit,"
she says. "I figure I have wings
growingrightoutofmybuttfrom
flying by the seat of my pants."
She says the only thing she
really has to rely on during
broadcasts is her copy which
isn'talwaysdependable,soshe
must fill in the blanks with
what she remembers always
Page 14

May 24, 1991

making sure it's factual and
correct.
"I think the thing that has
helped me the most is my
memory," Newtson says. "I
might forget something back
in the newsroom before I go on
the air, but I will at most times
remember it, and remember it
correctly."
Leece Lee, one of Newtson' s
volunteers, says being a news
announcer is sometimes like

shaped desk on which are three
turntables, a control panel, two
large microphones, and a few
sheets of loose copy.
And for four hours, 9 a.m. to
1 p.m. every week day, Wise is
in the air room as well.
"Even though I do have an
office of my own, when I am
doing my show I consider the
air room my office," she says.
Wise said she started working in radio through a lot of

articulate in their writing," he
says.
According to Hein, the
music department is a little
tougher to appoint people for.
He says the person must know
the station and the type of
music it plays. They also must
have an interest in music and
be somewhat intelligent about
who and what they are playing.
Currently, Hein spends a

flying an airplane., but N ewtson
disagrees quickly by saying
flying is sometimes easier.
Newtson says humor is the
key to handling the stress she
faces everyday. She says she is
constantly joking with her
coworkers and making fun of
whatever she can to ease the
panic she might otherwise be
going through.
"Humor has a pretty high
priority in this office. I'll joke
about anything, including the
news ... 1 mean, hey, if you
can't laugh at the news, what
can you laugh at?" she says,
adding that KLCC is more than
just an adventure, it's a job and
she must make it as fun and
interesting as possible.
At this point, Newtson says
she has no imrnedia te plans for
the future, but she knows she
doesn't want to cover radio
news forever.
"I don't always want to get
up this early," says Newtson.
Sooner or later, she says
she'll be ready for something
new.
9a.m.

Good morning. You' re listening to KLCC in Eugene, KLCO in
Newport ... I'm Liz Wise with
Fresh Tracks . . .
Jazz, folk, blues, and electronic mixes are all a part of the
life Liz Wise knows and loves.
Arriving at KLCC/KLCO
around 8:30 a.m., Wise automatically goes over her format
for the day' smusic and chooses
the CDs she will need for some
of her show. Most of the CDs
are just outside the air room,
alphabetically placed in four
huge cupboards.
The air room is filled with
three six-foot tape decks, hundreds of records (which are
seldom used these days), about
50 .new CDs, four chairs, a
typewriter, and a large LThe Torch

luck and no experience. Starting at KLCC/KLCO as a volunteer, she soon decided to
stick with it and now into her
ninth year at the station, Wise
says she still loves it.
"KLCC is such a big part of
mylife.Imean,Igrewuphere,"
she says. "I love every aspect
of the music we play. Also,
here I feel like I'm not just
broadcasting at the public, I'm
broadcasting with them."
1p.m.

Good afternoon ... You're listening to Fresh Tracks on KLCC
Eugene, KLCO Newport .. .This
is Don Hein filling in for Michael
Canning ...
Usually, KLCC/KLCO listeners won't hear Program
Director Don Hein' s voice
through their speakers. He calls
himself a "fill in" for DJs who
are unable to commit to their
scheduled programs.
"I really am responsible for
what you hear," he says "I need
to make sure the quality and
consistency of the sound that
broadcasts is perfect."
But in reality he does much
more than that. He also responds to all types of emergencies occurring in the office,
deals with the public, and
trains, hires, and looks over
most of the volunteers.
"We have two different
kinds of volunteers, news and
music. I appointpeople for both
areas, which can be a very difficult task," he says.
For individuals working in
the news department, Hein
says he wants people who are
able to write. He says it is easy
to train volunteers to speak
more clearly, but you can't
easily teach people how to
write.
"I guess what I look for is
someonewhoisintelligentand

great deal of his time on the
LCC campus. As well as being
the program director for
KLCC/KLCO, he also teaches
part time for LCC.
KbCC/KLCO is his true
love though. He says the station is a very unique place
where he is able to share some
of what he thinks is important
with the public.
6:30p.m.

... This is Live Wire. Good
evening I'm Alan Siporin ...
He's good and he knows it.
Alan Si porin, host/ reporter
of Live Wire (a call-in program
on Tuesdays and Thursdays),
says he could be making a lot
more money on a larger commercial station but is content
right here at KLCC.
"Ilike Eugene,Ihaveadeep
commitment to it and I feel
rooted to the community," he
says. "Also, here at KLCC I
have a lot of freedom to pursue
a lot of quality stuff which I
wouldn't be able to do at a
commercial station."
Live Wire, an idea Siporin
came up with, is a show which
givespeoplemoreofwhatthey
really want, he says.
The show offers a wide
range of topics which KLCC
listeners may respond to or ask
questions about. Topics such
as politics, abortion, election
results, violence against
women, minority and gay
rights, and child abuse have all
been successful on Live Wire
he says.
Siporin stresses that he likes
KLCC's commitment to serving the public.
"KLCC is a community
radio station which gives so
much to its listeners," he says.

10:30p.m.

Hi ... You'relisteningtoKLCC
Eugene, KLCO Newport and it's
time for Night Jazz ... This is
Gary Daddy-O-Daycare ...
Music to Gary Trendier,
appropriately nicknamed
Daddy-O-Daycare for his days
ofbabysitting,islikegood food.
"Music feeds my soul," he
says. "Working here is kind of
like working in a library because when I play music I feel
like a scholar, a huge body of
knowledge, or music that is."
During his show, which
consists of jazz, Trendier focuses on KLCC's great record
collection. He believes the station has a collection dating
from about 60 years ago to the
present.
"It's kind of like carrying a
torch, I mean jazz holds such a
big piece of our history," he
says.
Trendler is currently a volunteer for KLCC and has been
since 1982. He says he likes
volunteering his time because
there are more freedoms given
to a non-employee.
"I really love whatl do, that's
another reason I am still volunteering," he says." And I also
like KLCC. Actually, I can picture someone right now, sittinginacandle-litcabinon the
beach and they're relaxing,
they're connecting with us.
That means we're doing something good, we' re giving something to a lot of people."
12:50a.m.

... One last word ...
Throughout the entire day
at KLCC, volunteers come and
go offering their help wherever it is needed.
According to N ewtson,
KLCC is not just a station that
educates it listeners. Each
employee and experienced
volunteer spends a great deal
of time training other volunteers.
But KLCC/KLCO's programs are top on the list of
priorities. Other shows considered as a must for KLCC/
KLCO' s success are: Tripp
Sommer' s Northwest Passage,
. a half hour of local news beginning at 6:30 p.m., weekdays;
Jazz Inside out, Steve Katz's
special jazz session Wednesday evenings at 7:30; and Dr.
Rebop, another jazz show,
Thursday evenings at 7:30.
KLCC tries to place in as
many other shows and
"blurbs" as it can including the
ever popular Dr. Science, the
new Grateful Dead Hour, All
Things Considered, and News
at Noon.
And theadvicealmostallof
KLCC'semployeesand volunteers give to radio wanna be's?
If you're in it for the money,
you're in the wrong business.
