September 27, 1991 Eugene, Oregon Vol. 27 No. 2 Downtown LCC students face new parking fees by TRACY BROOKS Torch Associate Editor The many facets of LCC Students didn't seem to mind walking around Guy Harshbarger's crane as he welcomed them to LCC. Early signs of student activity created a feeling of anticipation that pushed him to complete the finl touches for the beginning of fall term. • 11!11111111.II !111111 I 111 111111: !i -:-:-:-:-:-:-:.:-:-:-:-:-:.:-:-:-:-:-:.:-·-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-·-:-:•·•:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:,:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:,·-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: -:•.•.-:-:-:-:-:.:-:-:-:.:-:-:-:::-:-:::-:-:::::::::::::::::::::::·:·:·:•:•·•:•·· ••• :-:::::::-:-:;:;::;:;:;:::;:::::::::::;::;:::::;:;:::;:::::::: LCC Downtown Center students could be facing parking fees this fall of 75 cents per hour under the City of Eugene's new validated parking program scheduled to take effect Oct. 31. Under the terms of the new program, downtown visitors would pay 75 cents per hour for parking unless they have validated parking tickets, which would be given to customers by downtown shop owners. The new program adds to a problem already faced by students attending the DTC, located at 11th and Willamette, which is finding free parking within . a reasonable distance from the center. According to an informal DTC survey done of DTC students, about 43 percent of the students who travel by car already pay parking meters. LCC Board members have discussed possible solutions to the problem, but haven't made any concrete decisions. "I personally feel it's a hardship on our students," says LCC Board of Education member Chuck Ivey. "I think we need a break from the city." The city, however, isn't offering the college any breaks. "They've made the decision to treat us like any other business, and I'm not sure we're like any other business," says LCC President Jerry Moskus. Moskus has appointed two task forces to deal with the DTC parking issue. One, a short term committee made up of DTC students, people from the city, and other interested parties, will look at the problem in the short run, seeking a temporary solution. According to Moskus, the solution could include participating in the validated parking program. One option, he says, is to buy the validation Tum to Parking Page 7 LCC makes Weld Tech improvem~nts Tax base 'looks encouraging' by JOE HARWOOD Torch Editor by TRACY BROOKS Torch Associate Editor Air quality improvements totalling nearly $60,000 to LCC's Welding Lab in the Apprenticeship Building are underway, and expected to be completed in the next few weeks. The improvements come after outcry from several college employees who work on the second floor, situated directly above the lab. In past years the employees complained of common health symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, sinus irritation, itchy eyes, and fatigue. Similar complaints have been made over the last 10 years. Oregon colleges should hear from the State Board of Education in October whether $50.5 million in "backfill" monies across the state will be approved. LCC officials say they feel positive about the state approving LCC's $3 million share of the monies, which will make up for tax base funds approved by voters in November, but deleted by state officials last spring. "It looks really encouraging," says Vice-President for Administrative services Dick Hillier. Last November, Lane County voters approved LCC's tax base request. However, with the passage of Measure 5 at the same time, the state was forced to find $633 million in replacement funds for state schools, and the extra tax base money approved for LCC was withheld from the college under the restrictions of an appropriations bill passed by the College officials say the ailOregon Legislature. ments aren't attributable to the The bill authorizes the state to limit replacement funds to of the offices in which location community colleges to existing tax bases in 1990, plus six the employees work, pointing percent.

In addition to paying regular tuition fees, the students are now faced with parking fees of 75 cents per hour. They also, on top of that, will be required to plug the meter every two hours or face the wrath of the city's all too efficient parking patrol. Unfortunately, these are the individuals who can least afford such an added expense. A majority, including students enrolled in English as a Second Language, are either underemployed or in the process of retraining for careers which will allow them to afford downtown parking. The Torch appreciates the efforts made by the Board of Education in appointing two task force committees to evaluate the situation. The five primary solutions under examination range from subsidizing student parking to moving the DTC out of the area. But while the task forces are bouncing ideas around, DTC students will be paying for parking. This is not acceptable. The only passable solution in the short-term is subsidized parking for the students. The college is strapped for funds, admittedly, but the responsibility rests with LCC to provide free parking facilities, not the student. Not only does LCC face parking woes in the short-term, the future of adequate downtown parking space is grim. Some of the lots currently used are slated for future development under the Urban Renewal District's plan. LCC needs to seriously consider relocating the DTC or holding classes during the evenings or weekends. The Eugene City Council's ill fated actions not only put a strangle-hold on the merchants in that area, but also make clear its intent to ignore the needs of DTC students. Under such conditions, a long-term strategy should be investigated, including the costly relocation to a more suitable and friendly city, namely Springfield. Torch Letters Policy Governor Barbara Roberts got "heldup" by comments from excited members of the communtiy during her visit to LCC on Sunday, Sept. 22. The Governor finished the recruitment phase of her 'Conversations with Oregon' tax reform plan at the college. For the most part, she received positive feedback from the participants.

Out of sheer boredom (we have little in common since they moved from Eugene), most of our time was spent discussing politics. Skip and Muffy were upset about the state of the world because there are no more good wars to be fought. "The cold war is over," lamented Skip. "And after Noriega is convicted, the 'War on Drugs' will be history," chimed in Muffy. We all agreed that a war on ignorance would be a battle lost before it started. Jokingly, I asked, "Why can't we declare war on chewing gum and hairspray manufacturers because they are corrupting America's female youth?" Muffy took me seriously however, saying, "You can't outlaw a freedom of expression." "I thought 'freedom of expression' was a way for a person to speak their mind about important issues of the day," I said. Adjusting the sweater casu..: ally tied around his neck, Skip replied, "It's not necessary to have a mind. Looking good is what's important." I suggested a war on homelessness. Muffy put that idea to rest quickly. "Who cares about gross and smelly people who refuse to earn a living?" "Besides," added Skip, "To have a good war, the politicians have to get on the bandwagon. Everyone knows people without a permanent address can't vote." I had to concede the point. What about a war on pomog- raphy? "I'd be all for that," Muffy said looking down at her plung- Another side of the truth Robert Catalano ing neckline and bikini bottom. "We women are tired of being looked at as sex objects." Skip licked his lips and winked at me. "Ah," I said as inspiration throbbed at my temples, "What about a war on bureaucracy?" ''Too much paperwork." Skip added laughing. "Seriously, it's the American way of the workplace to do as little as possible and expect to get paid well for doing it. Just try to get a student loan or mail a letter, if you don't believe me." I believed him. An uncomfortable silence followed. Skip crossed his leg, oh so cleverly, while Muffy looked into a compact mirror she'd fished from her purse. Suddenly, a feeling of puzzlement travelled up my spine and causing a frightening chill. "Hey," I said. "Why do we need a war on something anyway? Why can't we work together to solve our social prob- lems, now that we don't have the Russians to blame for everything from the corruption of our youth to worid revolution, and lay the blame for past misdeeds on our own inability to place the blame where it really belongs." Skip looked shocked. I even noticed a hair out of place on his head. "And where would that be?" Skip asked suspiciously. "On ourselves, of course," I replied. "I don't buy into that guilt trip," Skip said. "How could we survive if we actually blamed ourselves forourown problems? We'd be so busy trying to find answers, we wouldn't have enough time to cruise up here in our 'Beamer'." "Silly," said Muffy. "We can't declare war on ourselves." She had a point. ,,, Procrastination on weld lab unacc eptab le It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.-Moliere Recent decisions by the LCC administration to make necessary improvements to the Welding Lab's air transfer system are positive steps. It's a pity they come only after years of complaints by the employees housed in the offices above the lab. The reality of limited funds and conservative spending of tax dollars must be realized, but not exploited at the expense of employee health. One employee out of ten who have put complaints in writing, Debora Coelho, actually quit her job as a records clerk in the Adult High School program this summer in order to avoid the headaches, nausea, and dizziness she dealt with at work. Other employees working on the second floor of the Apprenticeship Building report similar reactions to the gasses and fumes. But college officials repeatedly wave aside reports from OSHA and SAIF concerning the problem with a now-standard reply: ''There's no proof of anything harmful," or "people smell something and they think it's unhealthy." What those officials fail to say, however, is that their insurance carrier reported in 1990: "It is never possible to monitor for all air contaminants." This same report also stated that air tests in the lab do not take into account the combined effect that results from exposures of many different contaminants simultaneously. Against the grain Joe Harwood Does the college believe these employees are lying? Have the complaints been ignored because the individuals are "hysterical women?" Why are LCC officials now moving on the issue, which they continue to assert no malfeasance on the college's part? Maybe it's just time to do something. Maybe enough people have complained. Maybe the file is getting too thick. Maybe they've been advised by their attorney to admit no negligence because they've left themselves wide open for future litigation by ignoring the problem. A letter in 1983 advised the college to change the ventilation system because of employee complaints. In case you haven't checked, the year is now 1991. In 1990, the college was again advised to change the system or move the building. Still, the complaints were dismissed. So, let's ask the tough questions. This summer when I showed Jerry Moskus the 1990 letter from SAIF, he said it was the first time he had seen it, and asked for a copy. I believe him. Director of Campus Setvices Paul Colvin told me this summer that nothing is wrong with the lab and he said the last two LCC presidents simply didn't want to commit the funds for improvements. So, what of the employees on the second floor of the Apprenticeship Building-and the faculty in the lab itself? Will they develop health complications down the road because "there is no proof?" For their sake and the college's, I hope not. Moskus has brought a new spirit of trust to this campus. I think he genuinely cares for the people who work for him. That must be why it has taken so long for action-LCC needed someone who listens and gives a damn. As for the individuals who ignored the problems, I wonder how you sleep at night. Question of the week: Do you think LCC should subsidize parking for downtown? Brian MacDaniels -Psychology "Yes, I do, because I think it's ridiculous to have to pay for parking if you have to pay tuition and all the school expenses in the first place." Ron Thompson - Raquetball Player "I think that LCC should make sure that the students have parking available. If they have to do that with [a] subsidy, or an agreement that will work out with the city, or however they want to do it, they should definitely have available parking for the students." James King -Business ManagemenJ "I think they should do that if itdoesn 'traise the tuition too much." Debbie Ebner - Business "I think we pay a lot for a lot of things, at least we should have a place to park our cars." --- lntrviews by Erin Sutton Jay Kufner - Art Education "If I was attending the downtown center with the amount that we pay in tuition, and the fact that everything has goncupmarkedly,lwouldhope that, yes, they would."

Flight- Tech Department looks for positive year by TRACY BROOKS Torch Associate Editor LCC's Flight Technology Department will leave bad feelings behind as it enters a new year filled to capacity, with a rewritten curriculum, and highly qualified instructors, says newly-appointed Department Chair Bob Farrand. "We've been involved with a number of improvements to the program over the last 12 months," he says. The Flight Technology program was shaken up last fall with the firing of Department ChairTerry Hagberg, due to alleged financial improprieties. After leaving LCC, Hagberg started his own flight school in Corvallis. LCC's program was further disrupted when Kawada Industries, a Japanese company which contracted with the college for training of Japanese students as helicopter pilots, withdrew from the contract Dec. 1, as a result of Hagberg's termination. In spite of the setbacks, says Farrand, the program is progressing well. "We've upgraded our facilities (and) we've acquired additional aircraft." Flight Tech now owns 14 aircraft, and is leasing two helicopters. Farrand says the curriculum has improved. as well. LCC has the only authorization in the state to graduate students with FAA pilot certification. All other flight training programs require their students to complete a "check ride" with an FAA flight inspector before becoming FAA certified. "We 're very proud of that, and it• s been one of the major projects of the year to revise our curriculum," he says. "We've also upgraded the staff qualifications on the airpane side ... all of our flight instructors as of this year have to have at least four instructor ratings on top of their federal pilot's certificates. Historically, we've hired people with one or two ratings." With the pullout of Kawada Industries, Farrand ASLCC president welcomes students Greetings, I'd like to welcome the new students, as well as all returning students. I will be your student body president for the 1991-92 academic year. I'm anxious to start my term as your president along with new Activities Director, Barbara Delansky. Together we '11 be exploring more activities for students. One of the things ASLCC will be involved with this year is to better the line of communication between the students and student government. This year the officers will have name tags. With the name tags you'll be able to put faces with names. To add more to our visibility, we' II be wearing T-shirts and sweatshirts with identifying markings. You '11 be able to take your needs and concerns to these people so that they can be addressed.

Fewer Work Study jobs will be made available to LCC students this fall due to revisions in policy by the college Financial Aid Department. Last year, the department over-committed funds for Work Study awards and was forced to make cuts last spring by 35 percent per student. The change in policy this fall is an attempt to avoid the same situation, according Financial Aid Associate Director Linda DeWitt. "We don't want to be in the position of having to take money away from students this spring," she says. The department adjusted the complex formula it uses to determine the number of students who receive Work Study funding, resulting in fewer students being served. Financial Aid regularly commits more money than is actually available not only for Work Study awards, but also for Perkins Loans and Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants as well. "We know from experience that we can offer an amount over and above what we actually have, because people don't show up, some people will drop out before the end of the year, and some will get disqualified and not be eligible for benefits," explains DeWitt. Last year the college purposely over-committed by 280 percent, and in both 1988-89 and 1989-90 by 300 percent. But she says this year LCC will only over-commit by 210 percent in work study awards. "Our experience in the two years prior to the 1990-91 year was that we could over-commit the Work Study fund 300 percent and still not spend it all," she says. But one reason for running out of money last spring, according to DeWitt, was that the maximum award to students was increased from $500 to $900. It was the department's attempt to give students the opportunity to earn enough money on campus. so they wouldn't be I anticipate a lot of change on our campus this coming year. So let's work together for our common goals. Remember, this college is here for you, together we can create change for our needs. Have a wonderful year and see you around campus.

However, says Farrand, because over 90 percent of the Kawada training was done on leased equipment, "There was no financial benefit to the department or to the college (from the Kawada contract). Only the companies that owned helicopters benefitted financially from that arrangement." The only revenue gained from the Kawada contract, says Farrand, was through foreign student tuition, which is signifigantly higher than that of in-state students. The program will be operating at a more efficient level this year, though, which will "more than offset that." Student enrollment has increased as well, says Farrand, despite predictions of doom by previous Chief Flight Instructor Ron Gustafson, who defected to Hagberg's Avia Flight Services.

LCC classified employees normally work under a contract, but on June 30, their contract expired. Now stalled on the negotiating table, a new agreement has yet to be reached. "Under the contract, we negotiate for better working conditions, wages. sick leaves, vacation day, and currently Martin Luther King Day," says Jerry Sirois, counseling department advisor and president of the LCC Employees Federation (LCCEF). "It's not illegal to work without a contract, but you don't find too many people that don't, .. he says. According to Lon Mills, LCC's chief negotiator, it's been his job since 1974 to set up classified worker's contracts, handle any of the worker's grievances, and deal with contract negotiations. "I deal with anything that has to do with laborrelations," Mills says. "I try to keep everyone comfortable." But many classified workers disagree about the comfort he says he provides. "He doesn't work for the [employees] at all," retorts Sirois. "He works for the Board (of Education) or the college, but not for the workers, not for us." According to Sirois, Mills is incapable of keeping workers comfortable. He claims it's Mill's job to give classified workers as little as possible in order to save the college as much money as he can. "Lon has a progressive ... 50s, 60s attitude where he thinks he doesn't have to [negotiate] with anyone.'' Sorois says. "But this is the 90s. We need to participate and talk together under the new style of unifying principles until something gets done. We need to get rid of all these six-guns and start working people-topeople." When asked to respond to these allegations, Mills declined comment. Computer Programmer Alen Bahret, who is a member of the LCC negotiating team, says Mills was hired by the Board of Education to do a job, "but he's trying to bring ina different style with us, an old style, and it's tough. It's tough when you go a day past your contract and we've already gone three months. Who knows how much longer it will be either?" According to Bahret, anyone working 20 hours per week or more at a non-teaching, non-managerial job is a classified employee. Because there are so many classified employees secretaries, technicians, custodians, support staff, clerks - and the contracts are so important, revamping and updating the document is a tedious process. "Oh, it will be way past December when we finish this," says Sirois. "We need participation, talking and unifying principles, but Lon Mills doesn't believe in any of that stuff and we can't do anything about it. It's the law."

Another option, he says, is to buy the tickets for the students at a cost of roughly 40 cents each. Moskus says he worries, though, that the college might take on too heavy an expenditure if it subsidizes parking. Toe committee will also look at how to improve bus and bicycle access to the center. "The real concern is for students," says Moskus, who points out that the DTC is utilized mainly by unemployed students, such as those enrolled in English as a Foreign Language classes.

In addition to the increased cost, the center will in the future face decreasing parking space as parking lots that are designated as future development sites. One such lot is at 11th and Willamette, across the street from the center. "There's an issue of accessability ," says Moskus. "If that lot across the street goes, then the nearest parking area will be the overpark ... that's fairly inconvenient." Long term suggestions by Moskus and board members include moving the DTC, possibly to Springfield, or changing the existing operations. "I'd like to see the day when we're out of there" says Ivey, although he acknowledges that moving the DTC would not be very practical. Moskus agrees: "We have a large investment in that building . . . it would be very, very difficult to just desert it. I wouldn't want to say that it's just absolutely impossible to move the DTC ... but that's not going to be our first choice," he says. • Instead, he says, solutions could include changing the way LOSE WEIGHT NOW !

In the past, the band has always placed third in the marching band competition. This year it didn't place at all. Chisholm doesn't find that discouraging, "It's just a lot of fun. We hope to do it again next year." Staff members and listeners from KLCC radio, LCC 's public radio station, stepped out as the KLCC Marching Radio Band in the Eugene Celebration parade Sept. 21.

Broadway, Rm. 720 Eugene, OR 97401 687-8651 LCC cook feeds survival camp by SHANE WELLS Torch Sports Editor Harland Yriarte, newly hired LCC athletics director, and 140 cross country runners took a trip to southeastern Oregon's Steens mountains this last summer for an annual survival camp. The only problem Yriarte had in organizing the trip, was finding a qualified cook to feed the small army of athletes. Harold Carothers, a staff cook in the kitchen at LCC, was chosen for the job. Yriarte says he chose Carothers because he had been a student in one of Yriarte's archery classes three years ago and had talked a lot about cooking. "He had told me he was a cook, so I asked him if he would be interested in going to southeastern Oregon for a survival camp I held every summer." Yriarte says. "As it turns out he was cooking in the Grand Canyon that particular summer and couldn't go with us. So, the cooks we had last year weren't exactly what we were looking for, but we managed." Yriarte ran into Carothers again last year in the kitchen of the LCC cafeteria and again had asked him if he would like to cook for the camp. Carothers agreed and in August they and a record tum-out of 140 runners headed towards southeastern Oregon. "There was no electricity, and the only running water was a nearby spring," says Carothers, "but we had three upright freezers full of ice which we laid down horizontally, and lots of frozen food, so the runners were very well fed." 1bere were also propane stoves and a three-hole steam table for Carothers to work with. When asked if there were any difficulties cooking in an altitude of 7,500 feet, Carothers said, "Not really, you know, but you really have to watch the food closely and adjust the temperatures to suit the high elevation.,, Carothers says he took lots of starchy foods and prepared everything from spaghetti to meatloaf for his hungry athletes. In addition to keeping the runners well fed, Y riarte says he also tried to build character in the young athletes. ''There was one instance where we told everybody that we had run out of food to cook. So, I told everyone that they had to find and catch their own food, so we had one guy catching fish while others went looking for LCC Chief Cook Harold Carothers helped runners survive the week-long camp with his Chefboy-ar-tese.

The college cutfourof Lane's eight sports last year because of funding problems: baseball, volleyball, and men's and women's cross-country. Yriarte says the main goal right now is adequately funding the four that remain. "We hope that with the four remaining sports we will have enough fund-raised money to photo by Dana Krizan New Athletic Director Harland Yriarte coach is a good teacher," says Yriarte, whQ is an instructor himself in the athletics department. "We're looking for people who are top-notch instructors and have strong athletic backgrounds, and Jim [Boutin] is no exception to that, wherever he's been he has been Coach of the Year and a top-notch instructor." The department is current! y in search for a new track coach. The deadline is Jan. 1, 1992. Yriarte says he would like to see the sports that were cut return to LCC. Though he admits this won't be achieved in the near future, he says that it won't stop him from working towards "In my philosophy, a good - the goals he has set. fully support scholarships and tuition wavers for our athletes." says Yriarte. He says other community colleges in Oregon support scholarships and tuition waivers for athletes through their general funds. "We fund about 66 terms of tuition for four sports out of 90 terms allowed by the Northwest Athletic Conference. So what we're trying to do is get that 66 up to 90 by raising funds." says Yriarte. He also says that hiring quality coaches for Lane's teams is important as well. He points to the recent appointment of Jim Boutin, replacing Dale Bates as basketball coach/instructor. Golf tourney raises funds by Shane Wells Torch Sports Editor The Ninth Annual LCC Open, an amateur golf tournament, offered a chance for anyone with a set of clubs to participate in a real tournament involving actual prizes and awards. The event was held on Friday, Sept. 13 at the Emerald Valley Resort in Creswell. Organizing the tournament were Joe Farmer, director of LCC Foundation, and Roberta Opdenweyer, Foundation secretary. The event is said to have grossed $25,000. Among the many sponsors were Northwest Natural Gas and Bilby-Bit Computer Rentals, both of whom donated $2,000 apiece, as they were main supporters of the tournament. Also, there were 34 tee-sponsors, various companies in the area who kicked in $125 apiece. Each company's name appeared on "tee signs" displayed at designated tee-offs on the golf course. There were also many prize donors for the event. ,s,m inll-jt1 pnllt('r/ltat 1"1111·1~kl<1.'r• qunh~rpnU1- , 111Rf.WJd,i. ,..,.,,,..,,,_ 1r:,1111 1•11ch '""'"'''""'' Qll t ll \'filJ.lt' /1•.11/••"'· money on Macintosh mull/ U'l'IRIIS 1111(1/ il 'I' po11,uls.

ASLCC spending explai ned by KELLEY EGRE Torch Managing Editor While LCC students pay the college a total of $12 in incidental fees every term, most students have no idea where the money goes, according to Seth Craig, ASLCC communications director. •A new fee of $5 added this fall will go directly to ASLCC's childcare program in order to subsidize both on and off-campus childcare for the children of LCC students. The fee was approved by students who voted in last year's spring elections. •Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG) receives $2 of every student's fees for various activities and events they sponsor throughout the year, also a new cost added fall term. Topics they cover include toxic waste, hunger and homelessness, and environmental issues. •Fromtheremaining$5,approximately $2 is used to cover the cost of each person's student I.D. •Out of the first $5 paid by student's, three percent is dedicated to Denali, LCC 's student run literary arts magazine, to help in salaries and/or printing costs. •The remaining balance is put into ASLCC's account and is used to help students and student groups here on campus says ASLCC President Ernie Woodland. "Student's are paying the fee to better the college and to_help not only themselves, but other students as well," Woodland says. Among the services are free legal services, free phones, sponsored clubs and student organizations, the microwave in the Center Building, free coffee and tea on Wednesdays, furniture for stu- REFORM dent lounges, Martin Luther King Day. and a number of other services offered to LCC students, such as entertainment, and educational events. "It's the students' money," says ASLCC Secretary Jeanne Beauchaine."Any cultural event that goes on on campus, ASLCC has something to do with it." ASLCC Treasurer Rachel Lindsay says the student Senate goes through a long process in determining how and to whom the money is spent. "My job is to recommend what is spent and how much," she says. "I'm going to make sure students and organizations are funded fairly throughout the year." Woodland says nothing is perfect, but says the ASLCC is fair, and as long as he's in office, the money is spent on the students who spend it. SAVE UP TO 60% ON TECHNICAL PEN SETS!
