October 11, 1991 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.

Moskus reported on OSHA' s intent to cite the college for three infractions - a house-keeping citation for lead-contaminated dust found in the building, failure of the college to establish a safety committee, and failure to properly educate Apprenticeship Building employees about lead hazards in the workplace (See story page one). • ASLCC:: President Ernib Woodland reported his displeasure with the manner in which the newly mandated child care fee was introduced in the fall tarm schedule. Woodland called the separate billing fee a "slap in the face" to all the people who had 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 where the student fee money is spent, all fees should have been itemized, not the $5 child care fee alone. • The Legislative Action Team, created out of a need to inform legislators of educational issue, gave several reports to the Board.

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.

Page 2 October 11, 1991 The Torch INTERVIEWS BY ERIN SUTTON I I I PHOTOS BY DANA KRIZAN 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 .Tum to Judge page 7 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 ... I I I I I I 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.

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 has been made available to train dislocated workers for short-term programs.

Candee says students are involved in all aspects of the statutory process - from researching briefs, to testifying for select state congressional committees. 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.

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 On the Right Hemisphere Chukar' Bacon 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!

Member FDIC. October 11, 1991 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.

"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 hardly doubt that John Elway giving a crippled kid a football during a game, as he did this year, is just I'm questioning the most disturbing rule, for the players and fans alike, in the NFL (No Fun League, Sports Illustrated 1991) this season. This enforces Rule 12, Arcticle 14c regarding "demonstrations" where a penalty is given to a team for "any prolonged, excessive or premeditated celebration." Isn't emotion part of sports, especially in the rough and tumble National Football League? Doesn't the fan indirectly pay the players' salaries? Can Ickey Woods (Cincinnati Bengals) and his "shuffle" only be seen in the parking lot? Why not let the fans vote for or against this rule, just as they vote for Major League Baseball's starting lineups in the All-Star Classic? The answers are yes, yes, yes, and yes!

Downtown Springfield Page 8 LCC students Bret Jones (upper right) and Joe Harwood 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.

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. Birthright. of Eugene Free Pregnancy Testing "We Care" Eugene Medical Building 132 E. Broadway, Rm. 720 Eugene, OR 97401 687-8651 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.

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 people with different influences and different interests," Adams says. "We grew organically, we get along most of the tim~."

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. AUTOS WANTED ADORABLE KITTENS free to good home. 686-5961.
