Staff favors
smoking ban
by LUKE STRAHOTA
Torch Staff Writer
According to a poll of
LCC staff members, 79
percent of those returning
surveys last month prefer a
total ban on smoking in their
immediate work areas, while
11 percent the college should
not restrict smoking in any
part of the campus.
"For years, non-smoking
staff members have been
shined-off about their opinions of smoking," says Jerome Garger, an instructor in
the English and Social Science Departments. "Now that
the results are in, it looks as
though the current smoking
policy may change."
Last spring, after hearing
some complaints from nonsmoking staff members about
Lane's current smoking policy, Garger developed a questionnaire which he sent to staff
members to find out how they
felt about the current policy.
After studying information
about smoking from The
American Cancer Society and
the tobacco industry, Garger
chose 23 topical questions for
staff members. He sent out
938 and received 536 by he
Oct I deadline.
Garger asked employees
to indicate which option they
think the college should
chose: no smoking restrictions, total ban on smoking,
or smoking only in designated
areas. He also asked staff
members if and where they
experienced eye irritation,
coughing, headaches, and residual smoke odors on clothes
and hair.
The poll results show the
employees who responded
favor a total ban on smoking
in employees' immediate
work areas.
Dan Hodges, coordinator
of testing, tabulated the completed questionnaires. According to Hodges, a computer program designed to
read statistics revealed three
areas where members felt
strongly about smoking.
• The primary concern by
staff was the smoke in the
cafeteria and Deli areas,noted
Hodges. According to the
poll, 35 percent of those who

Indoor smoking ban raises debate

the issue of smoking on campus

But students representing the
"smoking faction" protested the
lack of student involvement in
the poll. Some claimed that student-input was deliberately withheld from the survey.

should." But he then stated
shared decision-making should
be implemented.
But College Council member
Jay Marston said shared decision-making won't work in this
situation because of the diversity of opinions. He suggested,
however, that the college construct a solarium onto the cafeteria - with its own ventilation
system so "smokers will have
somewhere to comfortably go
without complaints of secondhand smoke."
The smoking area in front of
the Deli on the first fl oor of the
Center Building has garnered
many complaints from staff and
students involved in the Culinary Arts program. Most feel
they are being forced to put up
with second-hand smoke "in the
classroom," that is, the Deli and
cafeteria area where they prepare and se11 foods.

Smoke rises over a heated debate on the LCC campus concerning whether or not indoor smoking

tion.
English and Social Science
Instructor Jerome Garger conducted a survey at the behest of
the college administration after
continuing staff complaints
about designated smoking areas
on the main campus.
Garger sent out 957 surveys

from emotional students and staff
representing both sides of the
issue, the College Council decided to allow ASLCC time to
circulate its own survey of students. The Classified Council,
made up of non-faculty or administrative staff, will also discuss the
issue and then prepare a recom-

Also discussed in the meeting was whether smoking is a
political or health issue.
At one point during the meeting, Moskus - a smoker himself -said, "I could decree LCC

"The tobacco industry, for
obvious reasons, wants to define
the smoking controversy as a
rights issue. In fact, it is a health
issue, and many studies have
proven the harmful effects of
second-hand smoke. Those who
smoke have a choice. Those who
breathe do not," says Garger.
Pro-smoking staff member,
Jerry Sirois, believes Lane will
eventually become a smokeless
campus, but asks, "What happened to the rights of the other
side? Are we going to dictate or
accommodate? We have people
coming here from all walks of
life and we 're going to dictate to
those people if they can or can
not smoke."

Harassment takes·on new definition at LCC

by KELLEY EGRE
Torch Managing Editor

The sensitive sexual harassment issue now
sweeping the nation has received special attention at LCC for about three years, although
updated policies won't be in place until winter
term.
In 1987, LCC took a closer look at its
policies. LCC Board of Education members,
finding them to be out of date, created a sexual
harassment task force.
The task force, consisting of six LCC employees, was to audit LCC 's compliance with
the sexual harassment provisions of Title IX,
a part of the federal 1972 Education Act, and
then recommend revisions of LCC 's sexual
harassment policies and procedures.
The provisions ofTitle IX, according to the

committee's final report, "assure that federal
funds are not used to subsidize sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, under any
educational program or activity."
Kate Barry, LCC Women's Center coordinator and sexual harassment task force chairperson, says the committee has been a great
addition to the college.
Barry says that before the task force took
over, the procedures were inadequate.
"The process just wasn't clear," she says.
"The person with a complaint had a lot of
problems finding the appropriate place or
employee here who had the authority or the
capability to resolve the issue."
Due to findings during the audit, the committee updated past policies, integrating the
new information and ideas into a draft packet.
"Last year, we presented the draft to vari-

ous groups around campus," says Barry. "We
tried to provide a shared decision making
process because it's a sensitive and unclear
issue."
The College Council gave final approval to
the policy in April of 1991, creating trained
affirmative action officers.
"These contact people will be trained to
deal with any complaints," says Barry.
"Hopefully, a lot of problems can be solved on
this level."
According to the final report, the definition
of sexual harassment was unclear in the past.
The committee found that staff members were
often confused about its definition, thus
changing normal behavior - hugging, casual
contact, and an occasional friendly wink for fear of being charged with sexual harassTum to Harassment, page 11

ASLCC chokes on
indoor smoking issue

Rampant rumors floating through the LCC campus like clouds
of smoke have polarized students and staff members alike. The
issue of smoking seldom leaves anyone sitting on the fence.
The survey conducted by Jerome Garger, a proponent of an
indoor smoking ban, clearly shows a majority of college employees want a total ban on indoor smoking. He claims health is the
only issue at stake.
On the other hand, the pro-smoking side sees only an issue of
"individual" rights.
Smoking in designated areas i~ a privilege, not a right. On this
campus when people smoke, they infringe upon the rights of
others every time they exhale second-hand smoke - which is a
known carcinogen. So, to say smoking is simply a "rights issue"
is not true.
A compromise on the issue is in order.
Garger and his group want to get a new plan (or should it be
ban?) implemented by Nov. 21, which, coincidently, happens to
be the American Cancer Society's "National Smoke-Out Day."
That seems a little premature since the largest LCC population
group has not yet been polled.
Until this issue of the Torch, students have not been made
aware of the campus debate. The Torch too, was left in the dark
about the heated issue, but still must assume a portion of the
blame for not alerting students.
Garger began working on the survey in July. ASLCC officers
were made aware of this, but did nothing to alert students. Now
that the issue is coming to a head, students who smoke are
outraged by the fact that they were not informed about a proposed
indoor smoking ban. Inept student leadership is the villian.
in this case.
Only in the last few weeks has ASLCC Senator Shane Rhodes
taken the initiative upon himself to compile a student survey on
the issue. Nice gesture, but way too late. Missed the boat this
time, guys.
• The survey not including student input and weak leadership
b)l student government has led to an atmoshere of confusion,
anger, and emotional upheaval-as witnessed by those attending the Oct. 22 College Council meeting.
The staff and students working in the Deli area presently do
not have a choice. The designated smoking area located in the
southeast section of the cafeteria is directly in front of the Deli
counter, those that work in that area are forced to endure secondhand smoke.
The obvious, though costly solution, is for the college to build
a separate facility with its own ventilation system. The chances
for such action are slim. A short-term answer, however, wou Id be
to switch the smoking and non-smoking. area in that part of the
cafeteria. Moving a few signs and ash trays shouldn't take more
.than an hour or two.
If an indoor smoking ban is instituted at LCC, and evidence
strongly suggests that it will be, the ban should be total and
include all persons on campus - not just those without offices.

PTK plans enthusiastic year
forum by GAYLE MITCHELL
for the Torch
PTK is an International Honor Society, founded in 1918, and currently has
more than one million members. LCC's chapter was chartered in 1968, and
continues each year to strive toward the ultimate goals of the translated Greek
words: wisdom, aspiration, and purity.
The purpose of PTK is to recognize and encourage scholarship. To achieve
this pu~se PTK gives students the opportunity to develop leadership and
sei:v1ce skills and to nurture intellectual curiosity, good citizenship, and social
p01se.
LCC 's chapter hosted the Regional Leadership Conference over the weekend
of Oct. 11 at the Eugene Hilton. Ninety PTK members attended, coming together
from community colleges in Oregon, Washington, California, Utah, and Idaho.
LCC's Director of Student Activities, Barbara Delansky, and Margie Holland
(instructor and counselor) were guest speakers. They presented lively and
insightful discussions through the use of a "Personal Style Inventory" and an
"Androgeny Scale."
LCC President Jerry Moskus, whom we are honored to have as PTK's
Ambassador to the Regional Board of Community Colleges, and his wife,
Ginny, joined us for dinner and a spirited discussion afterward.
The convention was a great success. All those attending left with newfound
knowledge and newly founded friendships.
In past years PTK members have volunteered their time and effort to activities
such as voter registration drives, school tax levy issues, school elections, canned
food drives, and toys for children through the Tree of Joy. PTK also holds
fundraisers to provide scholarships and grants for tuition and school supplies to
students.
Current PTK officers are: Carol Johnson, president; Donna Spear, vice
president; Gayle Mitchell, secretary; and Darla Roberts, treasurer. PTK is
planning an enthusiastic year of activities that will bring pleasure and lasting
rewards. If you are interested in more information about how to be a part of PTK,
you may contact Betty Dorris, Advisor, at ext. 2340, or Carol Johnson at ext.

Toxics escalate
To the Editor,
Toxic Waste. Perhaps you remember those two distasteful
words. Perhaps you remember
some of the problems dealing with
toxic waste. Well, those problems have not gone away. In fact,
in all cases the problems with
toxic waste have increased dramatically.
You might be thinking that this
matter doesn't really concern you
or the community you live in.
Ask yourself this: Where does
your drinking water come from?
How clean is the air you breathe?
How clean is the river you live
near? Do you still think toxic
waste does not concern you?
U.S. industries released a reported 33 billion pounds of toxic

waste in 1989. Oregon industries
alone reported releasing 32million
pounds in that same period. (the
word "reported" means just that;
actual releases could be much
higher). In light of these statistics
do you think that the problems
toxic waste have gone away?
Do you want to know how to
make a difference? First, yoou
need to write your senators, representatives, or even President
Bush and tell them to support
stronger ammendments to the
"Clean Water Act"; stronger
ammendments to the "Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act"
(RCRA).

Essay 'conjured'
To the Editor,
It would be just my luck on a
Friday afternoon, to read a poorly
written and conjured essay in The
Torch. I scrutinized the whole
article for an enlightening fact or
ahairofreason, but unfortunately,
like the writerof this essay ,I came
up short.
The writer asked how one can
think that Anita Hill lied and yet
respect her. We as people lie at
sometime in our lives; does this
mean our friends leave us and we
lose their respect? Of course not
"What gives Associate Justice
Clarence Thomas the right of the
benefit of the doubt over Hill?"
Well, I hate to patronize her in this

way, but Hill just did not lie well
enough to convince the panel.
Why do women, like the writer
of this essay, feel that if something unfair happens to them, it
is sexist? Men cannot get away
with these empty-headed, babyish pouting sessions.
The writer boldly states that no
women,Irepeat, "no women could
stand before a Senate committee
and blithely lie about matters of
suchsensitivity." She'sforgetting
that some women do lie, and that
every day, thousands of people
hide the truth. She has locked
herself into the dungeon of sexual
bias; she has become a "sexist
pig."
Sexual harassment is totaJly
wrong and never justified. As a
man, I have worked with men
who have offended me; not in a
homosexual manner, but in a

J

sexually profane and vulgar fashion. The workplace (and life in
general) is not pink champagne
and cotton candy.
If it is easier not to rock the
boat, then why did the writer? I
believe it is safe for me to infer
from her article, that she felt humiliated and degraded. I commend her for standing up for what
is right, but why blame all men for
one man's actions?
Men can be sexually harassed,
too. The problems of society do
not lie within one sex but all men,
I mean women, I mean people.

State program leaves Student exPeiien'ceS paranormal
LCC Busine&S Center 'Unusual scenarios connected to Halloween
by TRACY BROOKS
Torch Associate Editor

Government Contract Acquisitions Program [GCAP] moved
its offices from LCC 's Small Business Development Center
[SBDC] to the Oregon Market Place, effective Oct. 1.
The move will allow GCAP Procurement Specialist David
Welsh to be paid his full salary, which LCC had limited for over
two years.
Welsh identifies government contracts on which small, local
businesses can make bids. Welsh worked out of LCC's Downtown Business Center for two and a half years, where he counseled SBDC clients in addition to GCAP clients.
But in September, the Oregon Economic Development Department [OEDD], of which GCAP is a subdivision, issued a
directive to GCAP to move its services to the Oregon Market
Place, which is another subdivision of OEDD.
The directive was motivated by several factors, says Welsh. He
says a similar merger between Oregon Market Place and GCAP
in Portland has produced very positive results. The manner in
which the OEDD budget was presented to the legislature this year
also made the two offices "somewhat combined," he says. "
Oregon Market Place serves established businesses, matching
buyers with sellers.
GCAP offices have traditionally been located at community
colleges, says Welsh, because they are already serving small
businesses.
Welsh's move grants him another advantage, he says, in
leaving the LCC bureaucracy behind. Although he was officially
an LCC employee, Welsh's salary was paid by "soft money," a
combination offederal grant and lottery monies. The state GCAP
director had decided a salary he considered appropriate for
Welsh, which was about $25,000, says Welsh. But the college
considered Welsh's position as neither management nor faculty,
and so placed him in a classified employee slot, which carries a
lesser salary - about $4,000 lower.
Welsh says he approached the Personnel office with the
problem several times. He was told that he needed direct management support to have his position reclassifed as administrative.
He could not get that support, he says.
SBDC Director Jane Schiedecker says she thinks LCC is
concerned about having too many management positions, and
that may be the reason for Welsh's classification.
Welsh says he does not have any hard feelings toward LCC,
and that he will continue to work with LCC in an unofficial
capacity. However, he says, "I'm glad to be out from under the
bureaucracy."

It was a dark and stormy cafeteria. The pea
soup was as thick as fog, and somewhere in the
distance a cook howled.
I'm not one to blindly believe in the paranormal
but I felt a strange tingling on the back of my neck
that I'd never experienced before. I could sense
someone, or something, creeping up behind me.
"You got a big ol' multi-legged critter on the
back of your neck," said Fred, who had been
creeping up behind me in hopes of capturing the
thing alive. "Now hold still and don't freak."
I freaked!
"Get it off me! Get it off me!" I hollered,
swatting myself like some frantic animated rendition of Shiva. Fred jumped in and began swatting
me too. He hates to be left out of any athletic
activity, especially when there's swatting involved.
"Ouch!"
One of Fred's blows connected and I heard the
thing hit the floor. "Holy shish kabob!" I shrieked.
It was so big, it made a sound! "What the hell is
it?"
Fred had extended his slide rule as far as it
would go and was poking at the thing cautiously.
"I don't know," he said, "but it's wearing a
toga."
Sure enough, several hairy black legs protruded from beneath a tiny white sheet. "Get a
container," said Fred. "I must have this here
specimen for my laboratory experiments."
I knew at that moment that Fred was insane.
But he was still my friend sol handed him his own
lunch pail.
"Here."
"Thanks," he said, and scooped the thing into
the box with a half-eaten peanut butter and tuna
sandwich (I've never tried it so I can't knock it).
"I need to sit down," I said. "Keep that thing
in the box."
Fred wanted to peek but I made him duct tape
the lid shut.
We found a place next to where the alternative
crowd usually sits. I watched their table for a
while before it dawned on me; this was not the
alternative crowd.
It was like some episode from the "Twilight Zone."
The faces were pretty much the same, but instead of

shared blue heads, nose rings, and pale make-up,
these people wore business suits and carried briefcases!
These people wore conservative attire and were totally non- offensive. Something was wrong. Horribly
wron~!
.
_
I cautiously approached one of the characters
whom I vaguely recognized. He wore a tweed
sport coat, but I could have sworn that only yesterday he had a chain strung between his nose and
his left eyelid. I had once heard someone call him
"Pain."
"Pain," I said slowly, "is that you?"
He extended a friendly manicured hand, and
spoke in a 1}p:wardly mobile accent.

"The name's Emerson," he said, "Richard
Emerson at your service. Would you care for a
rice cake?"
I reeled and jumped back! Everyone at the table
looked at me and smirked the way people do when
they own BMWs.
I ran, knocked Fred over, and bolted for the
elevator! I was in such a hurry that I failed to see
who would share the ride.
The door closed and I found myself in a rising
death trap with a conservative business women
who only last week had sported a mohawk.
I scratched the walls and wailed, "Help me! Oh
God, I'm sorry I put that dissected frog in Liz

"What's your trip?" said the mutant.
I spun around, foaming at the mouth. I would
not die without a fight.
"Why are you dressed like that?" I said, "Why
are you all dressed like that?"
"It's Halloween," she said. The door opened
and she got off. Okay, but that didn't explain the

I dropped to the floor and wept.

Team uses brain power to
muscle through competitions

•

by ROBERT NYDAM
Torch Staff Writer
The Forensics Team does not participate in a contact sport; their
competitions are a type of debate/speech/argument activity in which
work-outs are done with brain power instead of muscle power.
The team isn't a well known group, most of its members came across
the team by chance, others admit they had to search for it. Recently,
when the LCC team went to the Oregon State Beaver Classic on October
5 at Oregon State University in Corvallis, two of its members, Byran
Beban and Shane Schaeffer qualified for the finals in their events.
Beban, a returning student, made it into the finals of Junior Prose with
his speech on "Stuart Little," by E.B. White. Beban took Coach Barbara
Breaden's speech persuasion class (Speech 113) last year. Breaden was
impressed with Beban's speaking abilities and encouraged him to join
the Forensics Team. He now speaks in three to six events per tournament, and is pleased to have placed in the finals at OSU.
Schaeffer, new to the team this year, took first place in the Novice
Informative Speaking. His speech on the travel benefits of joining the
Army did well enough to also place him third in the Senior Division.
"I did do some (public speaking) back in high school, and I loved it,"
says Schaeffer. "But, I really started here, after I walked into the team by
chance."
The next tournament for the LCC team will be the Smelt Classic at
Lower Columbia Community College, in Longview, Washington on
November 1 and 2.

U of O students Amanda Fernie and Nikki B ~ sign OSPIRG's
petition to promote their National Toxic Waste Campain.

by JOE HARWOOD
Torch Editor
The LCC chapter of Oregon Student Public
Interest Research Group (OSPIRG) kicked off its
National Campaign Against Toxics on Oct. 19 at
the Eugene Saturday Market.
LCC student volunteers solicted postcard responses from market-goers to be sent to Rep. Peter
DeFazio urging him to support H.R. 3429, the
Clean Water Enforcement and Compliance Improvement Amendments Act of 1991.
The function of the bill, according to the postcard, is to "strengthen enforcement powers and
establish procedures that will help make clean-up
of our waterways a reality."
Katrina Hansen, group leader for the grassroots
.Toxics Campaign, says the bill is targeted at
stopping industrial waste discharge into the environment.
"Big businesses that dump chemicals (illegally) need to be held accountable." She says only
token financial penalties are currently assessed to
companies caught polluting." All they get is a slap
on the wrist.,,

H.R. 3429 would:
• Establish mandatory minimum penalties for
serious and chronic violators of the Clean Water
Act.
• Limit toxic discharge into sewage treatment
plants.
• Increase reporting and inspections of all major
facilities.
• Expand citizen rights to enforce the law.
"Defazio usually supports this kind of bill, but
right now he's on the 'ledge,, so maybe some
input from his constituents will help sway his
vote," she says.
The Toxics Campaign, in addition to grassroots, pffers public information forums on the
issue and a research group that will compile a list
of local polluters along the Willamette River.
LCC-OSPIRG held its General Interest Meeting on Oct. 9 on the main campus. In addition to
a Toxics Campaign, Toy Safety and HungerHomeless Awareness groups have also been
formed.

Amid a cloud of colorful gases and fumes, the chemist feverishly
mixes his secret potion. As he pours one solution into another, he is
rewarded with an effervescent mixture which overflows the sides,
melting portions of the glass and sending up puffs of billowing red
smoke.
It may sound like the laboratory of a mad scientist, but it's really just
a sampling of what the LCC Science Department has to offer this
Halloween.
According to Science Department Chair Tom Wayne, chemists will
be cooking up a Halloween Chemistry Magic presentation, complete
with colorful mixtures of elements, in an attempt to bring LCC students
and staff together for a learning experience.
"The idea," says Wayne, "is to provide an opportunity for students
and staff to get together.,, This event will kick off a series of talks taking
place about once a month in the Science Department.
The topics, says Wayne, will range from travels in the Belize
rainforest to demonstrations in the Chemistry Department. Future talks
will include figures from the community and instructors at LCC who
will share research and travel exeriences. Wayne says he hopes, as
well, that a talk will be presented which will inform students about
career possibilities in the field of science.
These talks will hopefully "fill in the niche" not satisfied in the
classroom by providing additional information that is interesting to the
students, says Wayne.
The Halloween Chemistry Magic presentation will take place Oct.
31 at 2:30 p.m. in Science 115. All students and staff are invited to
attend.

Disney World looks to LCC for workers
by SONJA TAYLOR
Torch Staff Writer

Disney World employment
representatives will visit LCC
on Thursday, Nov. 14 to interview students for cooperative
work experience positions. The
students they select will spend
winter and spring term working
for the amusement park in Florida.
CWE Coordinator Peggy
Marston will host an information session on Tuesday, Nov. 5
in Center 480, from 2:30-4 p.m.
This will prepare students for
the upcoming interview, she
says. In addition to providing information on how to dress and
what to say, Marston will give
interested students applications
to fill out. She emphasizes that
for the interview, personal
grooming, appearance, and personality are very important.
A high percentage of LCC
students are usually hired, says·
Marston. According to her, 15
students applied last winter and
13 were accepted.
Interviews will take place
from 9-11 a.m. on Nov. 14.
Marston says students must
arrive on time. Students who are
not on time will not be interviewed and will not be able to
go.
There are several different
types of jobs from which to
choose. The main options in-

elude food and beverage service, merchandise sales, attraction attendants, and resort operations assistants.
Hotel management and business majors will take priority in
hiring, says Marston.
There are a few special requirements for students hired.
Applicants must be LCC students and be registered in co-op
education in Florida. Students
interested in secretarial work
must be able to type at least 30
words per minute at a computer

terminal.
Students will leave for Florida in January and return around
the middle of May. Students are
responsible for the cost of the
airplane ticket and for living
expenses once in Florida.
While at Disney World, students are required to attend
seminars. They earn 12 credits,
which attach to their majors.
Disney World representatives
will visit the college again in
February seeking employees for
summer and fall terms.

.

LCC students mill the campus, never
thinking for a moment of the unknown that
lurks Just beyond that next corridor, or
down that steep set of stairs never ventured down . They are content in the seemingly normal atmosphere. But there is a
dark side ...
Like a reverse image photograph, the LCC
tunnels lie directly beneath the campus .
Dark and haunting, with a single bulb every
I 5 feet to light the path, the underground
tunnels extend the length of the college's
grounds.
Accessible by only one entrance, the tun nels are a source of mystery to LCC students and staff. One prominent student
figure, who asked not to be identified,
claims two women were once locked in the
tunnels . The women, he says, were never
found.
"I heard that from a college employee/'
says the student, "who didn't want the public to know about it . The college did a private investigation, but could never find out
where the women went. There's only one
entrance, with a self-locking device on the
outside. Nobody could get out of there, but
nobody ever found them.
One LCC official, who asked not to be
identified, says there is some truth to the
story.
"Two women were locked in the tunnels,
but they were found within a few hours/' he
says. "7hey disappeared after that, however. 7he story told around the water cooler
is that they both had to be committed to
sanHariums because of something that
happened in the tunnels.
LCC President Jason Krueger says there is
absolutely no truth to the story.
"Two women happened to wander into the
tunnels and get locked in, but they were
found shortly thereafter, and returned to
their Jobs, unharmed, either emotioanlly or
physically.
He refused to give the names of the
women, however, in the fear that they might
suffer harassment.
Other students and staff members are
unsure of what to believe.
"I've heard strange noises while I'm do"A
there," says LCC Plant Manager Norman
Bates. "Sometimes we find animal remains
that Just shouldn't be there. And rve heard
the story about the women. But I don't think

Brown baggers to meet Old program offers new perspective

for the Torch
Women aren't the only ones invited to explore women's issues
Oct. 31 session of Brown Bag Talks featuring speaker Dr.
the
at
Mary Romero.
Sponsored by the LCC Women's program, the talks provide
educational forums designed to sensitize people to a· variety of
topics affecting women. Running the gamut of serious concerns to
the more light-hearted side 0f things, the lunch time lectures appeal
to a wide range of groups, not just women, says program coordinator
Kate Barry.
"It's important to have an ongoing forum for these i~sues," says
Barry, who also teaches Women's History at LCC.
University of Oregon Associate Professor of Sociology and
Ethnic Studies Mary Romero concurs; Campus forums, such as
Brown Bag Talks, represent a significant opportunity for staff and
students to come together and address, not just research, but other
topics, as well, she says.
Romero's research with paid private household workers in
Denver, CO is the focus of her speech Oct. 31, beginning at 11 :30
a.m.
"Formerly," Romero says, "research on paid housework treated
the occupation of domestic service as though it's a gender issue."
Romero's own research proves otherwise, she states.
"Since domestic service workers are basically low income women
of color, the issue is one of race and class," she says.
Future Brown Bag Talks include Student Activities Director,
Barbara Delansky, on "Women and Leisure" (Nov. 14, at noon), and
"Speaking Our Peace" (Nov.14, at noon), a discussion about a video
depicting women in the Peace movement.
All presentations are in the Boardroom, secondfloor of the LCC
Administration Building.

one representing the home country of an international student attending classes at LCC this year.
Singapore, Iceland, South Africa, Saudia Arabia and Sweden
are just a few of the many countries represented, says Pat Williams, coordinator of the International Student Community program.
Williams is known to many of
LCC's international students as a
second grandmother, complete
with cookies she keeps in a jar in
her office.
She says the purpose of the
program is to introduce the visitors to the American culture,
while at the same time helping
local families see American
culture through the eyes of a
foreign student.

"We covered the width of Lane.

One highlight of the trip was a
visit to the Wizard Falls fish
hatchery on the Metoleous River.
"Many of them had never seen
anything like it!" she says.
During the Persian Gulf Crisis,
international students found
comfort through Williams' support and encouragement.
Fawzi Al-Kadi, a Saudi Arabian student studying international
marketing, made contact with
Williams frequently.
"It was really stressful," he
says. "We couldn't get in touch
with our families."
Al-Kadi, who is also president
of the Student Organization of
Multi-Ethnic Club, says at times
he was afraid to go to downtown
Eugene due to racial threats, but
found support through the International Student program.
"Everyone involved here was
very helpful."
Christine Strahan, admissions
specialist for international stu-

dents, describes an International

Not just everybody that applies is
accepted."
Strahan says before students
are admitted to LCC, he/she must
first pass the Test of English
Foreign Language (TOEFL).
Academic Counselor Mason
Davis says the international students must also meet the criteria
for a full time student set by The
Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization.
Eachstudentmustcarry atleast
12 credits and maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0.
International students pay a

Tennis remembered in ceremony

by KELLI J. RAY
Torch Staff Writer

Evelyn Tennis left this world remembered by
many for her generosity and ability to make each
person she came in contact with "feel like a special
individual." She is said to have been "a mother, a
sister, or a best friend to people."
Friends of Tennis will have the opportunity to
remember her with those who knew her best in a
ceremony Friday, Oct. 25 from 10 to 11 :30 in the
Performing Arts Theatre.
Father Jim Dieringer will open the ceremony,
hosted by Campus Ministries, with a speech. Paying tribute to Tennis will be three former ASLCC
presidents, two ex-board members, and other close
friends of Tennis's who worked at LCC. Former
Interim LCC President Jack Powell will close the

ceremony.
The ceremony, hosted by Campus Ministries,
will kick off the Evelyn Tennis Scholarship Fund.
According to Assistant Director of Campus Ministries, Mama Crawford, the fund will benefit
non-traditional students.
Ernie Woodland, ASLCC President, will present her son, John Tennis, with a $4000 check from
ASLCC for the scholarship fund, as well as a
plaque. He will also present a challenge to the
classified and management staff to meet or exceed
this amount in donations.
"Evelyn Tennis believed in people. She could
tell you that you could do something, and then you
could, just because she believed in you," Crawford
says.
LCC staff members will be released from
duties for the gathering.

Dance company to bring unique style to Eugene
Choreographer, Bella Lewitzky,
offers free lecture-demonstration. Company principal dancer
to offer master class at LCC.
By MICHELE WARREN
Torch Entertainment Editor
The Lewitzky Dance Company, founded by Los Angeles
choreographer Bella Lewitzky,
will perform three works to open
the Hult Center's Dance Series
on Saturday, Oct. 26 at 8 p.m ..
She will also hold two lecturedemonstrations, one Oct. 25, the
other Oct. 26.
Lewitzky 's three pieces "Nos
Duraturi", "Changes and
Choices", and "Impressions #1"
demonstrate her unique approach
to modem dance with relaxed
leaning, balancing, lithe acrobatics, and unexpected moments
of playfulness, according to a
Hult Center press release.
In "Nos Duraturi," set to Igor
Stravinsky's Symphony of
Psalms, Lewitzky's choreography defines human need to group
together in times of threat and
disorientation, as well as human
capacity to join together for sur vival.
Lewitzky's "Changes and
Choices" employs inventions
created within strict limitations.
The dance is structured with
some dancers performing dance
inventions, while the other
dancers are involved in donning
and doffing clothing.
In "Impressions# 1," inspired
by the English sculptor Henry
Moore, the choreographer uses
all female dancers since Moore's
most famous pieces are wood
and metal sculptures of women.
Training for Lewitzky began

at age seven with acrobatics, tap,
and balletfundamentals. Four of
her academic teachers instilled
in her a love of other cultures,
and a recognition that everything
is interdependent, and life is
circular rather than linear.
In 1934, she met and began
working with Lester
Horton, mentor to
dancer
Alvin
Ailey. In 1946,
she co-founded
the Dance Theatre of Los Angeles
with Horton.
Lewitzky has been a dance
teacher since the late 1940s
and a powerful spokesperson on censorship of
the arts
since the
McArthy
era "communist witch
hunts" of the
1950s. Recently she refused to sign a clause in a grant
from the National Endowment
for the Arts (NEA), promising
not to use obsenity in her performance. After trying unsuccessfully to sign with the clause
crossed out, she sued the NEA
for violating the First Amendment and won. The clause was
removed shortly thereafter.
Lewitzky will speak to the
public Oct. 25, 3 p.m. in
Lawrence Hall, Room 206 on
the U ofO campus. She will join
Northwest sculptor Bruce West
for "Rhythm and Gesture: Creating a Work," an informal talk

Denali staff prepares for
upcoming deadline

by STACEY WINKLEPLECK
for the Torch

LCC's art and literary magazine, Denali, is currently accepting
submissions for the fall issue until Oct. 31.
Denali, which comes out once every term, publishes art and
writings from LCC students, as well as other members of the
community. Submissions range from drawings and photos to
poetry, stories, and essays.
"We encourage anyone and everyone to submit to the magazine
so we can have a lot to choose from and have a great issue," says
Marta Budd, the associate editor of Denali.
According to Budd, Dena/i's length ranges from 20 to 32 pages,
depending on the number of submissions received.
Budd says the magazine staff selects material through "blind
readings," in which the author's or artist's name is removed from
the work. Members of Dena/i's editorial board, including Budd
and Editor-in-Chief Bonita Rhinehart, judge the submissions this
way to keep it fair and unbiased.
They evaluate on creativity, content, and form, although they
don't have set rules on form, Budd points out.
Denali has been in publication for 23 years. This is Budd's
second year with Denali and Rhinehart' s third year.

and demonstration of the relationship between the creative
processes of sculpture and choreography.
On Oct. 26, at I p.m. in the

Both events are made possible
by the Oregon Council for the
Humanities, Oregon Humanities
Center and Hult Center Community Involvement Program.
Both will be sign interpreted

the benefit of learning from an
internationally known company
member and the chal/ange of
working with new choreogra-

phy.
"Guest artists help dance
students hear things in a new
way," says Seereiter. "Sometimes a student hears the same
thing from an instructor, but it
may not sink in until they hear it
from a new voice" .
The master class came about
when Seereiter met Bella
lewitzky, and a principal dancer,
at a dance conference in Sept.
and asked if they would be interested in a workshop at LCC,
since they would be in Eugene
for the performance at the Hult
Center.

Old bal-l players return to different program
by TONY SEMINARY
Torch Sports Writer
Despite thecutofLCC's baseball program, the team decided to
go on playing, supporting themselves in the process.
Fonner Athletic Director and
Baseball Coach Bob Foster is the
head coach of the Titans Baseball
Club. The team will support itself
by raising funds in a variety of
ways.
"We work at the OSAA 's crosscountry meet and the girl's volleyball tournament, earning our
money as security and custodians
for the events." explains Foster.
"And we also will work at the
Eugene Indoor Meets in December. In March, we have a Titan
baseball camp that raises about
$1,000."
"We will try to raise $4,000
this year, depending on how hard
the guys want to play," adds Foster.
Foster and the team plan to
play 20 games, half the number
they would have played, funded
as an inter-collegiate sport. The
reduced schedule is less expensive than normal because most

games will be on the road.
"It costs $130 to have the umpires on our field for a game. If we
go on the road, all we have to pay
for is the bus, which is 50 cents per
mile. However, it costs $100 to
make a trip to Portland should we
play a game up there," adds Foster.
The diamondmen plan on
playing teams in their former
league, which included Mount
and
Linn-Benton
Hood,
Clackamas Community Colleges.
All the teams already have a full
slate, but rainouts are commonplace in Oregon, and LCC will try
to play those teams that cancel any
regularly scheduled contests.
The opponents would seem to
have no motive to play the Titans,
possibly risking injury, but
Foster has a different view.
"There's no difference playing
our club, or playing a non-league
opponent. The other teams risk
injury when they play any game.
We feel our team is very competitive and that we will, if anything, give the teams a good game."
Foster admits it's difficult to

field a team and keep the players
motivated. Why make these sacrifices?
"I love the game of baseball,
it's been my life," replies Foster.

Presently the team has 35
members and practices at 2:00 and
2:30 p.m., depending on the day
of the week. However, it's never
too late to join this extramural

club. Anyone interested in playing, should contact Foster at ext.
2548 or visit him in the Heal th and
Physical Education Department,
Room 207.

Titans' Baseball Club members practice pick-offs in preparation for their spring season.

Elastic rush provides students with free fall fantasy
by ED JESSIE
Torch Sports Editor

As she crept to the side of the
bridge, she peered over with
nervous anxiousness. Beads of
sweatrolleddownherbrow. She
stood on the edge, staring into
the chasm below.
With eyes tightly shut and
heart pounding, she leapt from

L-?

safety, into the abyss. Adrenaline filled her body as she plummeted toward the jagged rocks
hundreds of feet below.
Then, with only seconds before impact, her downward
momentum was miraculously
reversed. She catapulted back
toward the sky.
A failed suicide attempt?
No. This was Tashia Laird's

first try at bungee jumping. "My
whole life flashed before me
while I was falling," says Laird,
a freshman at U of 0. "Then my

mind cle3Ied and there was nothing. Everything was blank. It
was too intense for words."

enced bungee jumping give
mixed reactions. The majority
of the people interviewed at U
of 0, wanted to try it, but complained of the great expense
which accompanies jumpingaverage 1 jump cost-$45.
Some people who had not
jumped expressed no desire to
try it. "It's too scary, I'm a
chicken, says LCC student
Mark Smith.
"The sport is extremely safe,"
claims John Mayer. co-ownerof
Bungee Masters Inc. (BMI).
According to TIME magazine,
there have only been three reported deaths, and none of the
incidents took place in the United
States.
Bolstering his claim, Mayer
says BMI uses at least four
bungee cords rated at 1,500
pounds per cord. In addition to
the bungees, he uses a safety line
tested at 14,000 pounds, used to
reel the jumpers back up after
they take their plunge.
He says all cords are attached
to a full body harness via mul- •
tiple carabiniers tested at over
6,000 pounds each. The body
harness itself has a load capacity
of 10,000 pounds. Since each
cord is attached separately, it is
virtually impossible for the
jumper to become disconnected.
Over 90 percent of the people
interviewed wanted to jump.
Everyone who has already
jumped, wants to again.
For about the the same cost as
a ski trip to Mt. Hood, you to can
enjoy the adrenaline rush of a
near-death experience.
Contact Bungee Masters Inc.
at (503) 520-0303, for more
information.

responded voted for designed

percent of all staff surveyed said
they want an all-out ban on cafeteria smoking.
Of those who identified themselves as smokers, only 13 per cent wanted a total ban, versus
64 percent by ex-smokers, and
71 percent of those who said
they never smoked.

Harassment

• Hodges says 80 percent of
all respondents said smoking is
dangerous because of potential
long- term health effects.
• The question regarding
smoking in the employees' immediate work areas showed the
most diverse results, notes
Hodges: 79 percent of those
polled voted for an all-out ban in
their own work areas, while 11

percent of smokers voted for no
smoking restrictions in work
areas.
Said Hodges, " LCC has
never had such massive information of people's attitudes
towards smoking, and now we
know. If changes are going to be
made, it will be clear that it's not
just a small group of people
trying to push for something."
