OSHA cites LCC for Weld
Tech working conditions

Evidence lends to sick building
theory
uy JOE HARWOOD
Torch Editor
Editor's note: This is the final installment of a three-part series
examining LCC' s welding lab and the phenomena known as "sick
building syndrome."
The state Occupational Safety and Health Division (OSHA)
notified LCC Oct. 9 of pending citations for trace amounts of lead
found in dust in the Apprenticeship Building.
Two other OSHA citations include the failure of the college to
establish a safety committee, and its failure to properly train Apprenticeship Building employees about the hazards of lead exposure in the workplace.
OSHA did not feel the hazard to be acute enough to close down
the Apprenticeship Building right away, but will give the college an
opportunity to remedy the situation before further action is taken.
The college, in response to OSHA's findings, will close the
building from Oct. 17-20, in order to allow a professional contractor to complete a clean-up of the contaminated dust. Classes will be
rescheduled at different locations around the campus for the Thursday and Friday sections regularly held in the Apprenticeship Building.
The college will provide blood tests to determine lead-induced
damage to cells for concerned employees free of charge through
Student Health, or will pay for tests performed by employees'
personal physicians.
Employees in the Apprenticeship Building - which houses the
first floor welding lab - have been complaining for years about
health ailments including nausea, headaches, lethargy, and dizziness.
In the past, air sampling tests revealed no harmful levels of
contamination. But in July, for the first time, OSHA tested the dust
in the basement lab as well as in the offices upstairs. It found lead
in office dust ranging from four to 16 micrograms per sample,
according Paul Colvin, director of Campus Services ..
"Lead can cause those symptoms," says Dr. Lindy O'Leary, a
Eugene physician specializing in occupational medicine. She says
that while the symptoms outlined by employees may be
attributable to lead exposure, the generality of those ailments can be
caused by many other factors - including what she acknowledges
as hysteria.
Sandy Ing, director of Student Health and a registered nurse, says
exposure to lead can cause damage to the nervous system, kidneys,
and a woman's fertility. Severe, long-term exposures can cause a
potentially fatal swelling of the brain called acute encephalopathy.
She agrees with O'Leary's statements that the employee-reported symptoms could be signs of lead poisoning, but can also be
caused by other factors.
State health guidelines recommend that employees should not
have lead levels in the blood exceeding 40 micrograms per 100
grams of blood. People planning pregnancies should not exceed 20
micrograms per 100 grams of blood, according to Ing.
She says it will be 7-10 days before the test results are known.
Ing says that the amounts of lead found in the Apprenticeship
Building are a "relatively low concentration." But the college will
nevertheless conduct blood tests to be sure no employee's blood
contains lead over and above safe levels. The tests will not simply
tell whether or not the employee has lead in the blood, but the extent
of cell damage caused by chronic long-term exposure to lead.
"You would not expect to find lead in an office environment.
And you shouldn't have lead in an office environment," she says.
The LCC Administration decided this summer to make shortterm improvements to the Apprenticeship Building's ventilation
system in response to employee complaints. The cost of renovations
is expected to be nearly $60,000. The long-term plan is to move the
welding lab to another location.

worked to get the measure approved last spring in the AS LCC
elections.
The fee was listed separately
from the rest of the student fees.
Woodland felt that while students need to know how and

spent, all fees should have been

fee alone.

How can LCC have an open decision-making process when the
important leaders of this institution don't make public the controversial issues facing LCC and its community?
Case in point:
Sources tell the Torch that the Southern Willamette Private
Industry Council (SWPIC), a "partner" withLCC in the training and
development of dislocated workers, may in fact compete with LCC
for federal and state funds to do what LCC already does so well.

SWPIC Director Laurie Swanson was unavailable for comment
after repeated attempts to contact her this week.
SWPIC 's main responsibility is to sub-contract assessment and
training duties to organizations like LCC.
LCC's Dislocated Worker Program is one of the programs
"contracted out" by SWPIC.

possible Dislocated Worker Program - even if it means controversy:
• The Dislocated Worker Program at LCC is a national model for
the innovative techniques it uses. Professional advisors are readily
available to deal with each worker on an individual basis. In
addition to advisors extremely knowledgeable of the local labor
market, mental health counselors are also available to deal with
fears and anxieties many dislocated workers may face.
• The Training and Development Department at LCC has strong
connections with the community, with other departments on campus, the media, and most importantly, with private businesses.
Placement levels are high.
• When dislocated workers first come to LCC, they given a
battery of standard placement tests required of all new students.
Then, they enter into a two-week Career and Life Planning class to
help them decide what type of re-training is best.
But if SWPIC has its way to assess "correct" training options for
the workers, the workers would be placed on a "fast track."
• Many workers feel confusion and lack of self-esteem (they
usually take much pride in themselves and their work-ethic) at being
laid-off.
So professional, highly skilled individuals are needed to dispel
dislocated worker anxieties. SWPIC cannot offer the type of oneon-one advising available at LCC.

Question of the week: How do you feel about the
mandatory $5 student fee for child care?

Virginia Klassen
Counseling
"I think it's a good idea. I don't know
what kind of requirements they have
setup with it. If a person is really poor
and can't pay it then I think they
should be allowed to opt out of it, but
otherwise I think it is a good idea."

Ginger Wells
Legal Secretary
"I think it's pretty good because they
put it back to something else.Itdoesn 't
really bother me. The money will go
back to the kids and make the place
better and our kids have a nice place to
go to. This is supposed to be the best
day care in Oregon, the one that is on
campus here, and I think it's good as
long as they put it to good use."

Jeff Derieux
Undecided
"Well, I guess it affects me because
I'm paying for it. I guess there is a lot
of mothers who are-attending college
and it helps them out a lot. It's pretty
good."

Donae Sturgill
Dental Hygiene
"Well, I don ' t feel it's right to make
students pay for something ... when
they don't have a child, or whatever.
I personallydohaveachildandl think
it's a great thing to be able to have
them watch your child while you goto
school, but I think other people if they
don't have children should be forced
to pay for it."

Jessie Averill
General Studies
"I think it's a good idea for people
who can't afford childcare-it could
be helpful."

Daniel Drury
Business Administration
"I believe it could be a good idea if
they are actually going to build it and
bring it about to where it will bring
more people into the college where
they can actually go to school with
their children.single parents especially
in that case. I don't have a problem
with the $5 fee as long as it brings
people who are distressed and need
the education. I'm for it."

Judge upholds law, resists outside pressures
by ROBERT CATALANO
for the Torch
In an era where federal judgeships are awarded on the
basis of a nominee's ideological persuasion and/or
agenda, as opposed to judicial ability, it's nice to know
there are still jurists like U.S. District Judge Patrick F.
Kelly on the bench out there somewhere.
Confronted with a situation bordering on anarchy
this past summer, thousands of anti-abortion advocates
blocked the entrances of two abortion clinics in Wichita,
Kansas, Judge Kelly chose to uphold the law and preserve order, rather than cave in to outside pressures.
"The situation was unmanageable," Judge Kelly said
of the protests.
He told the Torch by phone this week from his
Kansas office, "There were hundreds of people climbing on iron fences shouting and harassing women attempting to enter the clinics. The Wichita police would
only arrest these people for loitering, even though they
(the protesters) were breaking local laws, because the
police chief viewed the situation as a legitimate protest.
They (the police) were not controlling the situation."
At this point, Kelly stepped in, issuing an injunction
to the protesters, invoking the 1871 "Ku Klux Klan
law," ordering them to stop blocking entrances to clinics.
The protesters refused.

"These people, by their own admission, were here to
close these clinics by obstruction," Kelly explains.
"The leaders encouraged their followers to violate the
injunction and break the law. That is when I inquired as
to the availability of federal marshals."
With the approval of the U.S. Attorney General's
Office, he assigned 30 U.S. Marshals to make sure the
clinic entrances stayed open.

Another Side
of the Truth
Robert Catalano
"When the Marshals arrived," says Kelly, "The
Wichita Police Chief was then instructed to order his
men to arrest the protesters for violating a federal court
order. He did so."
To ensure that peace was maintained, Kelly's order
also required the protest leaders to post monetary bond
in case of damages resulting from the protests.
"It's like a bond that would be required for a Ku Klux
Klan rally," says Kelly.
But the leaders refused to post the bond, and Kelly

ordered them arrested. Only then did Operation Rescue
leaders leave town, bringing peace and quiet to Wichita.
Kelly says he is surprised by the protesters' vehemence and their refusals to abide by his decisions.
"In my 11 yec1rs on the bench I've never seen such
disregard for the law," says Kelly. "They threw a copy
of my order on the ground, stepped on it, cried 'tyranny',
and called me a Hitler."
To make matters worse, the Bush administration,
through the Department of Justice, filed a brief in the
10th Circuit Court of Appeals saying that Kelly had no
right to invoke the 1871 "Ku Klux Klan law" against the
anti-abortion protesters, giving the leaders of the protests the feeling that they were tacitly supported by the
President.
Defending his actions, Judge Kelly said, "I saw this
(invoking the law) as the only way to keep order. I could
see the situation becoming worse, and the possibility of
bloodshed between the police and the protesters was
very rea 1."
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Kelly's
order. . A similar case on the same judicial grounds will
be decided by the Supreme Court on Oct. 16.
Not only has Kelly's life in the courtroom changed,
he says the protests in Wichita have caused an upheaval

U.S. Senate floats checks as well as the deficit
So, it turns out that our elected members of Congress,
among whose principle duties is to balance our nation's
budget, can't even balance their own checkbooks? Personally, I really get a kick out of this ... I mean talk about
ironic.
According to the Associated Press, as of Friday, Oct. 4,
45 House members had admitted to writing rubber checks
through the House member's private bank, while the
General Accounting Office (GOA), on the other hand,
claims 134 House members bounced a total of 8,331
checks in the year ending June 30, 1990.
Now, unlike the bank you and I deal through, the House
bank covered the overdrawn checks without penalty, despite the fact that hundreds of them were in excess of
$1,000.
So what's the big deal?
Granted, House members dealt with a bank that takes
the phrase "customer service" a step or two further than
would yours or mine. But all they did was something
hundreds of thousands of Americans do on a routine basis
- they "floated" some checks.
So back to the irony of it all - dwell a moment on the
concept of "floating." Then, bring the federal budget into
the picture .. .
Floating ... budget ... deficit ... you got it!
We elect representatives to, among other things, tackle
the U.S. budget deficit, yet, it too floats over each year,

the while growing larger-over $3 trillion in the last fiscal
year.
If they could only do the same with my tuition ...

O.K., real quick here; in the tradition of Las Vegas,
I'm going to post some odds on the upcoming Senate

just curious
Devan Wilson
confirmation vote on Robert Gates for the CIA director
post, and Clarence Thomas for a seat on the Supreme
court.
Editor's note: These predictions are based solely on

journalistic insight and should in no way be interpeted
in the same regard as those ofDanny Sheridan or Jimmy
the Greek.
Thomas vs. Senate
This one's a tough call. One week ago I'd have put
Thomas at two-to-one odds to be confirmed, even
though the Senate has the homefield advantage.
Thomas was performing like a real athlete. All week

he had been able to slash through the Senate's defense,
cutting through the line of scrimmage with some very
elusive and deceptive moves.
And then ... barn!
After weeks of media coverage, out of the woodwork
comes University of Oklahoma Law Professor Anita
Hill. Despite being unproven at this level, she quickly
demonstrated a nose for the ball and a killer instinct that
has left Thomas rocked. And to think, she doesn't even
suit up for the Senate.
Now, game time for this one's been postponed a week,
as the Senate wants to see if it's warranted to work Hill
further into the game plan.
Thomas is a competitor, but I think he has already
fumbled this one away.

Senate-3:1.
Gates vs. Senate

In an attempt to step up a weight class, Gates finds
himself up against a hard-hitting opponent in the Senate.
Since the opening bell, the Senate has fired away at
Gates with a series of hard jabs that have consistently
found their mark.
Gates is still standing, but it looks right now like he's
out on his feet. Chances are the Senate will soon deliver
the knockout blow, but then again ...
Gates has the best cornerman in the business in
George Bush. And, this one's not over yet. With a cagy
veteran like Bush in the corner, Gates still could find a
way to pull this one out.

Senate - 8:5.

Science and CWE instructor Dixie Maurer-Clemmons
reported on HB 3565 (the Vera Katz bill). She alerted the
Board to a movement by the state Board of Education to
consider replacing the GED with a new degree program
called the Certificate of Initial Mastery (OM). MaurerClemmons revealed that such a degree would only be acceptable in Oregon as replacement for the GED, not in ·any
other state.
Training and Development chair Patti Lake reported that
dislocated workers are eligible for supplemental unemployment benefits for education and $5 million in lottery funds

Northwestern activist

points finger at society

KELLEYEGRE
Torch Managing Editor

Who is contributing to bigotry, racism, and harassment? Bill
W assmuth says everyone is.
"The bigotry problem in our society is not a black problem, it's
not an Indian problem, it's not a gay problem, it's not a white
problem," said the director of the over 200 member Northwest
Coalition Against Malicious Hatred.
Speaking to LCC students and staff on Oct. 7, Wassmuth said
that if someone approached him on the street and claimed not to
have a prejudicial bone in their body, he wouldn't believe them.
"My immediate response is either 'you don't know yourself very
well, you 're not very honest with yourself, or you 're lying to me,'
one or the other," he said. "The task before us is not to point fingers
in some other direction. But, rather, to recognize that the racism, the
bigotry, and the prejudicial attitudes still exist in our society and
because we are a part of that society, those attitudes are engrained
in us. All of us."
With the coalition since it started in 1987, Wassmuth says he
himself has been a target by a supremacist group, and understands
malicious harassment.
According to a June 22 article in The Register-Guard,
Wassmuth 's home in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho fell victim to the white
supremacist group, The Order. Shortly before midnight on Sept. I 5,
1986, a bomb exploded just outside the house.
W assmuth said it looked like a machine gun had sprayed the
room. His house was virtually destroyed.
Being a target has since strengthened Wassmuth's fight against
racial hatred and prejudice.
Based in Seattle, Wash., Wassmuth monitors supremacist activity and the laws created to fight it.
In 1989, Oregon passed a statute that requires law enforcement
officers be trained in the investigation of bigotry related crimes, and
to report them to a central information source.
According to a 1990 report, 343 cases of malicious harassment
criminal behavior were reported in Oregon, Wassmu th said. Twentyfour of these cases were in Lane County alone.
"This is not all of the examples of intimidation and victimization
that goes on. This is only a few. and that is way too many," he said.
"I think the recent Iraqi war dramatized (what the white supremacists feel)," he said. "Everybody felt, all of the sudden, extremely
patriotic because we were able to pound the daylights out of another
society ... But we don't have a vision of what we should be ... and
because we lost that vision or sense of who we are as a society ...
we have grown very cynical.
Wassmuth said the Supremacists have offered a simplistic solution. He said supremacists would say we have turned away from
what our society was meant to be, and if we turned back to a white
Arian homeland concept, eliminating the Jewish control and the
people of color then we will be okay.
"The supremacists are also telling us some things about our
struggle with living in a changing demographic environment," he
said. "That we are a more diverse society than what we were ten, fifteen, even twenty years ago and that we are struggling with how to
live with that diversity."
"We need to join together as a community. If we allow threats
from ( white supremacists) to dictate our behavior individually or as
a community we give them much more power than we should."

Board of Education adopts proposal
by TRACY BROOKS
Torch Associate Editor

LCC's Board of Education voted 4-2 Oct. 9 to
adopt a proposal made by the Downtown Center
Parking Task force to subsidize student parking
near the city center campus at a cost to students of
25 cents per hour.
Board members Chuck Ivey arid Larry Mann
opposed the motion.
LCC Pres. Jerry Moskus appointed the task·
force to address a situation created when Downtown Eugene, Inc. (DEi), decided to end its free
parking program in the downtown area.
The new validated parking program, scheduled
to take effect Nov. 4, requires persons visting the
downtown area to pay 75 cents per hour to park,
with the first hour free. But downtown businesses
will give validation tickets to patrons of their
businesses. The businesses will pay for the validation tickets.
The task force, led by Vice-President of Community and Economic Development Larry

Warford, recommended to the Board that the
college participate in the validation program at a
cost of $2100 annually.

In addition to the annual fee, the college will
buy the validation tickets at a cost of 37 .5 cents
each. The taskforce recommended that the college
sell the tickets to students at a cost of 25 cents
each. The 12.5 cent difference creates a $13,000
obligation for LCC.
According to Warford, the college will pursue
the possibility that the city might subsidize LCC
student parking validation.
The city has already given the college a break,
says Warford, by calculating its DEI fees on the
basis of 5 cents per square foot of building space,
as opposed to the IO cents per square foot downtown businesses pay.
The task force also recommended that the college ·investigate the possibility of converting the
nearby 11th and Willamette lot from metered
parking to a pay box lot, so that LCC students
could use it through the validation program.

LCC lends United Waya helping hand
by KELLIJ. RAY
Torch Staff Writer
LCC is giving students a chance
tolendhelpinghands in the United
Way fundraising drive, an opportunity, says LCC United Way
Coordinator Jane Wojcik, which
is the first of its kind for LCC
students. In hopes that more students will get involved, Wojcik is
extending the original deadline of
Oct. 12 until Oct 18.
Funding more than 62 organizations throughout the county,
including the American Red
Cross, Lane County Legal Aid,
and Food for Lane County, United
Way flourishes on volunteerism
and contributions. This year, LCC
decided to enter the picture.
Wojcik says she'd like to break
down the barriers and involve students with volunteering and contributing. To her knowledge, she
says, there has been no student
involvement up to this point.
"We didn't have the mechanism to reach out to students," she
admits.

dents have need on the receiving
end. The way the campaign was
organized, with the students not
on campus yet, "they just haven't
had a chance to participate," says
Wojcik.
LCC 's goal is $13,364. When
asked why the goal is such a specific number, Wojcik laughs, and
says, "It's up 13 percent more
than last year's goal. We wanted
to go higher than IO percent."
Basically, 86 cents of every donated dollar goes directly into the
programs that are being helped,
she says.
Below is the funding breakdown:
• Basic need services: food,
shelter, and basic medical treatment.

• Intervention/Crisis Services:
household violence, substance
abuse, developmentally disabled,
and the mentally ill.
• Support Services: Volunteer
development, information and
referral.
"It used to be that so many
worthwhile causes came knocking at your door," she says, but
now over 62 local organizations
are consolidated under one umbrella. "I see it doing a lot of
good," says Wojcik.

If you 're in need, or want to
donate time or money, contact
Wojcik at 747-4501, ext. 2627.
"There are pledge cards and
envelopes in my office. A phone
call to me is all it would take."

Writer seeks cure for sick building
• What's all this talk about LCC's "sick
buildings?" I've never heard of such a
thing! I cannot for the life of me imagine a
man-made structure such as a building (don't
get me started on bridges) coming
down with some kind of viral thing-which
might be contagious and potentially dangerous-without some intelligent person in authority shutting it down for a couple of days
in order for it to recover.
Look, I understand the whole work ethic
concept, and what Hunter S. Thompson
meant when he said, "When the going gets
weird, the weird tum pro," and all that, but
there is a limit!
Sure, we can't just close down a building
every time it gets the sniffles or a hangover,
but for crying out loud, what if it's something serious!
Human lives! that's what I'm talking
about! Human lives could be at stake!
One minute you have a sick building, the
next minute you have a nation-wide epidemic, and whose fault is it? The buildings?

No! Certainly not.
The building can't help it if it's sick. We
all get sick from time to time and it's not our
fault. But if somebody makes us come to

work when we're sick, we might infect the
whole building.
Wait a minute. That's it! Somebody
came to work sick and infected the whole
building. Some dork showed up for work
with the case of the "high-dolly-rue" and the
poor unsuspecting building took a big whiff
of the carrier's halitosis (bad breath) through
the ventilation system.
After the initial fit of coughing and gagging that normally follows such and event,

and the building was infected by some workaholic who couldn't stand to stay home even
for a day, and dam near croaked. It just
doesn't seem fair. Why would anyone run
the risk of affecting countless lives by infecting innocent bodies? Somehow it rings
•
criminal.
Or worse yet, maybe someone made that
poor sick peon crawl to work because he or
she could still crawl, pointing out that "if
you can still crawl, you can still work!"
Things like this should never happen. I can't
believe we've let it go this far. •
Now the Apprenticeship Building is sick
and nobody gave tt any time off. What a pity
that we live in a society that puts a greater
importance on the volume of productivity
than the quality of life. Why, I've half-amind to write my congressman! (the other
half of my mind feels kind of queasy and not
really up to it.)
As a matter of fact, the rest of me feels a
little out of sorts too.
Must be something in the air.

The Torch

Class examines
effects of T. V.
by LYNN REA
Torch Staff Writer
Okay all you couch potatoes,
listen up! You too, TV critics,
cultural analysts and American
consumers.
"Television Studies," a three
course sequence which began
this fall with "The Public
Arcade," examines American
television, its history and effects.
Instructor Nanci LaYelle says
she doesn't know of any other
community college that offers a
year-long sequence devoted
solely to television.
Throughout her academic
career, La Veile has been
intrigued by the idea that
American television influences
people's lives more than they
are aware. "I've always felt that
television is something we need
to think about seriously," she
says "It colors everything What you wear, what you eat,
and your perception of being a
man or a woman."
LaYelle says Americans are
about
"schizophrenic"
television. On the one hand we
are attracted to the .tube , (the
latest survey shows that the T. V.
·set is on for a total of eight hours
in the average American
household). But, on the other
hand, we feel guilty about
watching it.
The focus of the first class
offered this fall, "The Public
Arcade," will be to study how
television entertains, and in
doing so, what other effects it
has on viewers. Class members
will view and discuss several
popular situation comedies,
including"Cheers,""Roseanne"
and "The Cosby Show." The
discussions will center around
the ways TV presents different
types offamilies.
Another topic this term is game
shows, such as "Wheel Of
Fortune," dealing with the
concept of consuming and
winning products.
Winter term, LaYelle will lead
"The Public Conscience,"
focusing on drama in television,
both soap operas and made-forTV movies.
To wrap it all up in the spring
will be "The Public Forum,"
which will deal with news and
information. La Veile plans to
feature examples such as
"Oprah," "Phil Donahue" and
straight news shows such as
"Nightline."
"I would be happy if everyone
that took these classes would tell
me that they never looked at TV
in the same way again," says La
Veile.
For further informatin on these
courses, contact the Department
of Media Arts and Technology,
747-4501, ext. 2473.

in his personal life.
"We received about 20 phone calls a day to my answering
service. Many of them were threatening. We were accosted on our
front lawn ... we had U.S. marshalls visiting with us for about six
weeks."
Kelly's fondest wish is that everything will die down and return
to normal. "It has been a very awkward time for all of us. I hope it
will all pass soon."
Although Kelly, who is Catholic, has received the cold shoulder
from ·many fellow parishioners, he says the issues behind his judicial actions against the anti-abortionists have nothing to do with
religion.
"This is not a religious issue," Kelly explains. "It's an issue of
these protesters preventing the women who wanted to enter the
clinics from their right to public egress. They also were preventing
three physicians from pursuing their legal right to go about their
business."
Kelly says he holds no animosity towards the protesters. "Basically, these are very decent people," he says about the protesters.
"But when it comes to the issue of abortion, they don't show good
sense and their actions go beyond reason.

"I felt comfortable immediately after I walked through the

A position for assistant production manager opened up, and
having had prior design experience in high school, Nydam decided to apply.
"I did not think I was going to

"When Jeanette Nadeau (Torch

may be true, but I'll guarantee that they like the idea of

attack a mountain in an all out
ride.

Ever thought you might like
to spend your life behind bars?
The opportunity is available at
any one of Eugene's various bike
shops.
Getting started on a mountain-biking career can be uncertain and financially prohibative
if one does not research the
market carefully.
Many brands of bikes are
available, and with all the hype
that accompanies every sale, a
buyer new to the market can
easily end up spending too much
money on the wrong features,
says local bike mechanic Jack
Tribble.
"The biggest mistake people
make is buying a bike for the
name, and the frame," says
Tribble.
The most important features
to consider in buying a bike, he
says, are the components, which
include the front and back
derailleur, the rims, and the braking system. These are the parts
that will take the brunt of your
riding, says Tribble.
A beginning biker needs to
be honest with himself about
how much punishment he's
going to mete-out on the bike,
says local mountain biker

Woodrow Hardly. The harder
and more agressively one rides,
the better quality components
he will need to endure the strain
of the trail, he says.
Where you'll be riding is as
important as how hard you ride,
says Hardly. The mud and clay
in this area, he says, have a
cohesive quality to them that
tends to "gum up" and affect
lower quality derailleurs, rending them useless in a short time.
In seeking components,
Tribble recommends the Shirmano DX and LX lines, the
Suntour X-press and X-1 lines,
and the Exage 400 and above.
The best advice he can offer,
however, is to familiarize oneself with the types of bikes available and what they have to offer.
Reading biking magazines, bike
literature, and even Consumer
Reports, he says, are ways to
learn about what kinds of bikes
are best to buy. Taking somebody with you that is knowledgeable is also a good idea, he
says. Most important, he says, is
not to "get sucked into the hype
about the frame."
Tribble says that $450 - $750
will purchase a middle to higher
of the line bike that should satisfy the riding needs of beginners to advanced intermediates.

Spending over $750 is unnecessary, he says, except for professionals who will exercise that
top-of-the-line quality.
And if you outgrow your bike,
you can always trade up, says
Hardly.
"You 're not going to take a
new bike and break the frame in
one or two months, and if you do
... you 're an idiot and are riding
over your head."
When you find the bike that 's
right for you, take your time
with it, says Hardly.It takes time
to gain judgement and learn to
use the bike rather than letting
the bike use you.
"Learning to look ahead of
yourself on the trail and anticipate where ruts will take you is
not something you read out of a
book. You experience and refine it over a of period time.
"You don't learn to mountain
bike overnight," says Hardly.

Students participa te in Intramural sports at LCC

by KELLEY EGRE
Torch Managing Editor

Cuts in varsity sports increase club sport activity

Due to cuts in the LCC varsity sports program, several returning students have organized
club sports through the intramvrals program.
After budget deliberations
last spring, LCC officials cut
women's volleyball, men's and
women, s cross country, and
men's baseball from the intercollegiate program.
Intramurals Director Gary
Knapp says several students then
took the initiative to start up
three new club sports- volleyball, cross country, and baseball
- adding to karate and dance,
two returning club sports.
Club sports have been alternatives to varsity sports over the
years for those who have an
interest to compete, but haven't
been able to do so.
Anyone interested in joining

a particular club sport is required
to be enrolled in at least one
LCC credit class. Otherwise,
Knapp says all a student has to
do to be a part of the team is to
show up and try out.
According to Knapp, students
with an intramural card have access to all intramural programs
offered. Each card costs $5/year
for LCC students ($3/term) and
$25/term for all non-students.
As a part of the intramural
program, club sports are student-generated and primarily
funded through money raised
by those on the team.
"They will probably receive
about $50 dollars from student
government to help them get off
the ground," says Knapp. "We
(the Athletic Department) wil1
give them some money, but otherwise they will be generating

their own funds."
Knapp says many of the
coaches of the now defunct varsity programs will be helping
the club sports. Former Athletic
Director and Baseball Coach
Bob Foster, last year's Cross
Country Coach Larry Calloway,
and possibly Lisa Youngman,
last year's volleyball coach, will
all help to get the program off
the ground.
Currently, the new cross
country team is finalizing all of
its paperwork, but has already
competed in a few meets.
"They were one of the first
teams to get off the ground, so
they are already out there running, competing with other colleges," says Knapp.
The baseball team has had a
class written into the curriculum for additional practice

time. Knapp says the class is not
a requirement to play on the
team, but says it would probably
be a good idea to join for increased playing time.
Volleyball players hope to
start playing sometime during
the second week in November,
Knapp says.
"The rules for making the
team - or participating on the
team - are made by the team,"
says Knapp. "The skill level will
most likely be on a higher level
(than regular intramural sports),
but not as high as the varsity
level."
Knapp says the new club
sports will be a benefit to the
college this year.
"We want to keep the spark
alive by making them more accessible to all students," he says.
"Then possibly, with the spark
still there, we will be able to get

back the varsity sports we lost."
Other fall intramural programs/activities offered by the
college include badminton, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and
weight lifting.
For more information on the
programs offered through intramurals, students may see or call
Gary Knapp or Mary Anne Graham; PE 204, ext. 2293.

Basketball team needs players

by TRACY BROOKS
Torch Associate Editor

Women are already on the basketball court practicing, but it isn't too late for women interested in
playing basketball this season to try out.
Women's basketball coach Dave Loos would like to encourage women with a background in
basketball to try out for the 1991-92 season. The Trojans will play their first game Nov. 22, in a "round
robin" tournament with Colombia Basin, which is in LCC's league, and other teams not in the league.
Loos says anybody accepted for the team must be a full-time student carrying 12 credits. Transfer
students must have 12 credits at LCC previous to this term.
The team practices every day from 3 - 5 p.m. Women interested should contact Loos in the Health
and P.E. Department, or call ext. 2570. The deadline for tryouts is Friday, Oct. 25.

Local band plays original songs with Latin influence

Love, Death, and Agriculture,
a Eugene based group with three
LCC students, brought its unique
"ethno-funk" style of music to

The recital is a benefit for the students taking individual music
lessons at LCC. The money brought in will pay for all, or a portion of,
the $100 cost of individual lessons per student per term. According to
Greenwood, the students audition at the end of each term for the
scholarship offered the following term.
Tickets are on sale at the LCC box office in the Performing Arts
Building, Hult Center outlets, and Marketplace Books. The cost is $4
in advance for students, $6 at the door or for non-students. The box

joined the group one and a half
months -ago. Her jazz and big
band background, along with her
musical talent, gave the band
just what it needed, a spark of
female energy.
Adams describes the band's
performances as jazz mixed with
Latin rhythms, and pop songs
tossed in to make it all interesting.
"Our songs are usually arranged but we have a tendency
to live in the moment. We will
improvise, make things upvaried by the energy level," says
Adams.
Adams says the band members are all serious about the
music but flexible at the same
time, and that holds them together.
"We are all very different

says. "We grew organically, we

LCC graduate
launches career

by AIMEE SUITER
Torch Staff Writer

Recently Tim Moore, a spring term graduate of LCC, was
hired at The Lebanon Community Hospital to work in the
Respiratory Care Department.
Moore, who lives in Brownsville, has been working full
time as a firefighter paramedic for ten years. He began his first
career on the Oregon Coast, then worked in Portland, Salem,
and has now worked in Lebanon for over three years.
When Moore decided that he was at a point in his life where
he wanted to expand his knowledge in the health care field, he
found out through a catalog that Lane offers courses in
respiratory care. Randy Cox, who went to LCC, and is the
head of the Respiratory Department at the Lebanon Hospital,
had good things to say about the program to Moore.
While at LCC, he says he found the instructors Matt
Schubert and Roger Hecht to be very competent and easy to
work with.
"Two years is a long road, especially when you're working,
so having Matt and Roger's encouragement helped me a lot,"
stated Moore.
He says he found the class stimulating because he was able
to study the techniques of helping patients in the hospital, as
opposed to his normal job of caring for them only in the
ambulance.
Now having been trained in the Respiratory Care
Department, he says, "I can follow the patient all the way
through the recovery period.when before I could only see
them through the door of the hospital. The only thing is, some
make it and some don't."
Schubert and Hecht say they also benefited from having
Moore in their class, because he brought in a lot of previous
knowledge.
"He would share some of his emergency experiences with
the class, and we would often call on him for some examples
when students had questions," stated Hecht.
Eventually, Moore would like to start his bachelor's degree
program for Fire Service and Education.
