November 15, 1991 Eugene, Oregon Vol. 27 No. 9 Recycling at LCC: What is it? Where is it? Analysis by LYNN REA Torch Staff Writer LCC has a recycling problem. But no one seems to be doing much about it. Torch attempts to locate an organized college recycling policy have proven elusive. Food Services manager Bob Tegge says he stocks 200 cases of soda each week. That's 4,800 potentially recyclable aluminum cans. Tegge also says his department is "not actively recycling." LCC's chapter of Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG) established a recycling group less than three weeks ago. Group leader Dave Clark admits that he has a lot to learn about recycling. "I've spent a great deal of time becoming informed myself, andfindingout who knows about recycling around here." When asked if he knew that Food Services had no recycling program in effect, Clark replied he wasn't aware of the fact. Last fall OSPIRG initiated a pilot program to recycle aluminum cans. According to former OSPIRG coordinator Laura Lane-Ruckman, the group placed several five gallon buckets throughout the Center Building in an effort to identify the need for a can recycling pro- photo by Michael Acord The lack of accessible recycling receptacles around the main campus is leading to a large number of aluminum cans being needlessly discarded. gram. When the program concluded OSPIRG received requests from several departments for more collection containers. The group wrote out a detailed report of its findings and presented it to LCC's Facilities Management. According to Lane-Ruckman, Facilities Management was supportive of the plan and ap- proved the placement of more recycling containers around campus. " ... I haven't seen any (containers) around. Nothing has happened," says Lane-Ruckman. In a brief phone interview campus services director Paul Colvin said that there are containers in place but couldn't say how many, or where the college has placed them. Housekeeping Custodial Manager Isaac Johnson also says the can recycling containers are in place, but couldn't say how many or where they are. Johnson did say that several more containers are needed. Jim Dieringer, director of Campus Ministries, appears to be the only person on campus with answers. For the past three years Dieringer and a small crew have been responsible for 100 percent of LCC's recycled paper. Last year the program recycled 60,000 pounds of paper. He plans to tum over the paper recycling to the college, however, due to a lack of volunteers to assist him. The college does not yet know who or what or Turn to Recycling, Page 9 LCC 's group bus pass negotiations hit impasse by JOE HARWOOD Torch Editor ASLCC and the Lane Transit Dis\{"ict (LTD) are at an impasse in negotiating a group bus pass similar to that enjoyed by U of 0 studen~.

As George Bush did in 1988, one of Duke's campaign strategies is to build a political springboard on the fear among the white mainstream voters of losing jobs and economic stability due to racial hiring quotas and the welfare underclass. This strategy would lead some voters to believe, as Duke hopes they will, that the white man is on an island surrounded by a sea of racial impurity just waiting to wash ashore and contaminate their way of life. Besides being prejudiced, it's a fairy tale. Let's look at some facts to dispel the myth. • According to recent statistics released by both the US Census Bureau, as well as the Department of Agriculture, the majority of people receiving welfare and food stamp benefits is white. In fact, the largest percentage of new applicants to the food stamp program are middle-class whites who have lost their jobs due to economic recession. Since a large majority of economic policy makers - from both the government and private sectors are white - it would seem ludicrous to blame non-white welfare recipients for the country's economic problems. • The fear of white jobs being lost to racial hiring quotas is also an unfounded one. Again, according to recent statistics, nearly 70 per- ' rni.;/;;,ti i,i nm; t·•·::::;: cent of the new jobs made-available to the American worker (including those at the minimum wage level) during the last decade, went to whites. The only statistical category where whites lost ground to non-white workers was in both part-time and minimum wage level hiring. Another Side of the Truth Robert Catalano The only quota which has been kept true to form, is that non-white workers continue to get the lower paying jobs. • The fear of crime and criminals, usually assumed to be non-whites preying on whites, is another stock flavor Duke adds to his cauldron of political theory. Let's examine this also for the lie it is. Recently released F.B.I. crime statistics have determined that non-white murderers prey on members of their own race in an overwhelming majority of the cases. Whites, on the other hand, murder across tlle L:/'I·•··••·:: , :i: : : ; ; • A third way to raise funds would simply to obtain donations from LCC students.

Luckily, two employees of the LCC Library, the astounding mother/son tire-changing duo of Virginia and Greg Bailey, came to my assistance. Along with Dave Smith, of the custodial staff, Virginia and Greg both get my heartfelt "thanks". All three were courteous and helpful and represent the true feeling of ~security" - human beings looking out for each other's well being. m+ It To the Editor, On Nov. 21 OSPIRG will host a Hunger Banquet. The banquet is the culmination of several events aimed at raising funds and awareness to the issue of hunger in our world. Oxfam and local agencies will benefit from the funds raised. Hunger should not exist. There is enough food produced to feed all ofus. Until the distribution of food is more balanced: • 20 million people in the United States will go hungry twice a week. • 25 percent of the world population will remain chronically malnourished. furn to Letters, page 9 ~\-\6 ~LACI~ \)L))EJZ.S FEUD ; OSPI RG hosts banquet Kim Challis-Roth ~O\LT WA\~81)/\) 1.

TORCH STAFF Page 2 ; racial spectrum at an alarming rate. (Ever hear of a nonwhite serial killer?) While it is statistically true that there is a higher percentage of non-whites in US prisons, in comparison to American population numbers, it is also true that a white person is eleven times more likely to be put on probation, or be released from custody pending trial, than is a non-white. A non-white is also sixteen times more likely to receive the death penalty. The only thing statistics on crime and criminals proves is that the judicial system is still patently racist and sees the world through rose-colored socioeconomic glasses. During the worst economic crisis in US history, President Franklin Roosevelt said, "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself." He was right. When men like David Duke preach fear, all it does is create more fear. When people are afraid, they do not think, neither do they act with intelligence nor reason. M~ A~ ~L(ZJ,)012... f\~t::J Chain smirking: ·a nasty student habit I believe that people should be able to make choices about how they conduct their personal lives, and what harmful things they can do to their own bodies without harming others. Go ahead and fart, but don't expect me to enjoy it as much as you did. I normally sit in the no smirking section. I like it there because I quit smirking a few years back, and it's easier to maintain abstinence if nobody smirks around me. They say smirking leads to cynical smiling and, in the later stages, to cruel laughter. Bad habits are hard to break. You start out sneaking smirks from Uncle Ben's coat pocket and the next thing you know, you 're cracking those cynical smiles. I used to smirk five cracks a day. My friends and I would hang out on a typical street comer and do nothing but shoot the breeze and smirk. Andrew was the best at it. He On the Right could blow Hemisphere smirk rings. -----------■Smirking and hanging out Chukar Bacon was all we did, and at the time I couldn't see any harmful side effects, so I kept smirking. Our parents told us not to smirk but we saw them smirking all the time, so what was the big deal? Anyway, here I was in the no smirking section, and this great looking woman came up and sat right across the table from me. She smiled. I smiled. The moment was precious and neither of us spoke. I felt like one of us should break the ice. I don't really have any "line" practiced for these occasions. I'd rather just be honest. "Who are you and why have you come to torment me?" I asked, gazing into the deep green oceans where her eyes should have been. I was under a spell. Icouldn'ttakemy attention away. I'm not even sure she answered me. I was mesmerized! But I snapped out of it when I noticed she was beginning to smirk. She must have been a pretty heavy smirker because she quickly went from smirking to smiling cynically. "Do you mind not smirking in my face?"! said. This request sent her into a fit of cruel laughter, the likes of wruch I had only seen in anti-smirking propaganda films. "It isn't funny," I said. "You 're cute," she said. "You're smirking," I said, in a cute sort of way. "I'm hooked," she admitted. "Me too," I said, swimming once again in the green seas. "Would you like a smirk?" she asked. "Sure," I said. Bad habits are hard to break. I lit up a smirk and began smiling cynically. Before I knew what was happening we were both laughing cruelly, chain smirking like fiends. There is a big push going on to ban smirking on campus. This may or may not be a good idea. The solution may lie in a union between courtesy and acceptance. I don't know. Ask me again when I run out of smirks.

Groups from all over the country gathered on Nov. 7 for a three-day nuclear testing protest. Sinoking • ••••••••••••••• Correction continued from page I smoking students responding preferred a total ban in the cafeteria and snack bar, wrule only 10 percent of smokers supported such an action. Of the smokers polled, 90 percent voted for designated smoking areas in their immediate study areas, with 38 percent of non-smokers, and 52 percent of ex-smokers concurring. Board member Peter Sorenson said the college, already on shaky financial ground, should not fund construction of a separate facility for smokers, mirroring statements made by members of the audience. He also voiced his opinion that smoking should be banned indoors at Lane because of the inherent health risks. Another board member, Roger Hall, said, "I detest legislation that infringes on personal rights, but in this case, smoking does in fact infringe upon the rights of others (non-smokers)." LCC Board chair Pat Riggs stated that she quit smoking 12 years ago by choice. "You don't have a choice to breathe fresh air when you 're in the same room as a smoker." Social Science instructor Jerome Gargerreported "a large opposition to spending general funds for building a separate area for smokers." He again encouraged smokers to lobby for private funding to construct such an enclosure. Garger wants the tobacco industry to subsidize any construction, and has contacted representatives of major tobacco companies. "The people who have profited from this (smoking) should pay for the ventiladon and enclosure," he said. Riggs told the board a decision on a policy change must be made at the Dec. 11 meeting. A time of 6:30 p.m. in the LCC Boardroom was set. LCC security offers battery recharging by CALEB LA FOUNTAIN for the Torch If your car battery dies while on LCC grounds, there are jumper cables and a mobile car battery charging unit available to assist you. The Campus Security Office in the Campus Service Building will allow the use of the cables in exchange for two pieces of identification from students or staff. "Your driver's license and preferably your student body card," to insure the return of the cables, says Night Dispatcher Carle Kessler. Paul Colvin, head of campus services, says the increase in dead battery incidents usually stem from a change in the weather. He says as the sky gets darker more and more people drive to campus with their lights on, and forget to tum them off in the parking lot. Kessler adds that as a result of the cold weather, weak car batteries can lose their charge, even while sitting in the lot. LCC's mobile charging unit is an option mostly intended for those student and staff left stranded at night. The charging unit is an apparatus attached to a campus owned truck. Colvin says the idea is to get the car started as quickly as possible, so people do not have to linger long. Colvin says although battery accidents are few and far between, people asking to use the mobile charging unit must fill out and sign a waiver of liability. The LCC staff assigned to assist people are not professional auto mechanics he says, so :the college can not be held liable should ;damage occur as a result of using the mobile charging unit. . / . People in need of this service can dial dire.ct to the Campus Security Office, ext. 2558, for help from any campus phone.

RAY Torch Staff Writer Ever wonder what the ponds by LCC are for? According to Head Groundskeeper Joe Stejskal, "They're the only sewage system we have." The City of Eugene doesn't run its sewage line out this far. "In the summertime, LCC uses the excess water (which has been chemically treated) out onto the ball fields." It is never run onto the fields during the winter, or when people are playing on the fields. In the wintertime, the school has permission to run treated water out through the stream system, says Stejskal. LCC current! y maintains it's own lagoons, costing the college approximately $100 per month, explains Paul Colvin, director of Campus Services. And according to Gale Mills, a civil engineer with the City of Eugene, it would cost $6 million to run a sewage line from Glenwood to LCC, because there is no existing sewage facility in Glenwood. The city would have to run the pipes accross the river, as well. It would take years to construct and cost a lot of money to maintain, Mills says. The water comes from LCC faucets, toilets and sinks, and is transformed from refuse into a bird sanctuary Pass One of the LCC Ponds No, this isn't Lane's outdoor swimming pool. Rather, it's the college's answer to sewage treatment. by the time it makes it down the pipes into the ponds, where it is processed, filtered, and purified. According to Stejskal, "Before it goes to pond one, it goes through a grinder," which is located within the chain-link, fenced-in area on the track. "The only thing that goes into pond two is water," no solids. At the far end of pond three, water from pond two goes into the pit and is treated with chlorine in the fourth section. The Department of Environmental Qual- Is itsafe?"Yes, absolutely. Water from such lagoons is used everywhere from golf courses to the river," says Stejskal. "It is very ecologically sound. The lagoon is a bird sanctuary, and we have several kinds of ducks. In the spring, a pair of Canada geese bring their young ones down. Sewage for ducks is food. That's why we have a lot of ducks, including nesting ducks. There are also "tiny fish under an inch long (we don't know what kind) which eat mosquito larva. These fish were put in when the school opened," says Stejkal. What do the ponds smell like? "Well, you can go down there and sniff' for yourself, Stejskal says with a chuckle. "In the summertime, pond one is a little on the smelly side." One runner had a chance to find out first-hand. LCC cross-country team members run a course around the ponds, and Athletic Director and Coach Harland Yriarte says it may have hap- pened at one of two crosscountry meets, he just can't remember which. But "It was raining and the track was really slippery. We were also having trouble with gophers. When the runners were going around one comer, the bank gave way, and one runner just slipped right in. ''Then she just got out and continued the race. She only went in up to her knees, and there were quite a few jokes about her having a soggy shoe." Yriarte says. continued from page 1 "guesstimations," that es ti mated ridership resulting from the LCC program would d9uble, which, "th~ have no way of proving."

This year, local residents helped develop their own program for local seniors: A 15hour, one-week class about Florence's beginning, upto 1915. "The nice thing about this program," says Porter, "is that (the class) designed it themselves. When we asked what they would like, they said they wanted to learn more about the area they live in. They wanted to know more about the early settlers, the Indians, the early merchants. They even selected their instructor." They selected Ed Pursley, author of "Florence: A Diamond Set Among the Pearls," a book Class members took trips to the Siuslaw Public Library, the Pioneer Museum, and a walking tour of Old Town Florence. The trip that aroused the most comment and interest, says Porter, was to a local Native American burial ground. Located up the North Fork of the Siuslaw River, the site is maintained by Marge Severy, one of only two full-blooded Coos tribe members left in the area. Porter says even many long-time residents were unaware of its existence. The class got a sense about the mystique of the old days, says Porter. "The people really liked the class, they liked the intensive short-term format and the limited class size," says Porter. "Many can't attend regular, fullterm classes, but these short, workshop-like programs really fit their needs and desires." photo by Erin Naillon Peaceful Protest This Indian veteran was among the many vets at the Mercury, Nev. nuclear protest.

RAY Torch Staff Writer On March 17, 1987, LCC student Evette Patt fell off a cliff. Evette, her boyfriend, and two friends were partying, drinking and driving. While negotiating a tum, the car went out of control, careening off a cliff and down a hill. "My head went through the window and busted it," says Patt. Her boyfriend went to jail on a drunk driving charge. She spent the next nine months in a coma, then two and a half months following that in a wheelchair. "I didn't think I would ever walk again," says Patt. Once she got back on her feet again, she had to contend with nerve damage in the left side of her body, blindness in her left eye, and brain damage. She currently lives with her foster parents in Springfield, who help her with everything from day-to-day care to morale boosts. They also helped her sign up for one of LCC's Assertiveness Training classes. Her foster mother, Sharon Dominy, says "She's been doing a lot better since she's been going to school. She used to be aggressive. Now, she's assertive." Patt's dream is to someday enroll in journalism classes. She used to get published in her Warm Springs Wasco Piaute Indian Reservation nespaper, and she was once the editor of the Center for Neuro-Educational Therapists (CNET) newsletter, as well. For now, she'd like to get some dental work done. "The accident knocked out three front teeth," says her foster mother. • Dominy is also a foster mother to 79-year-old Constance Thielsen. She gets about $1776 per month for caring for both of them, and manages their money, as well. Patt needs to recover more fully before she can reach her acedimic goals. photo by Glennis Pohlman Evette Patt (foreground) with foster mother Sharon Dominy. Student/Parent Board screens applications for coordinator by KELLEY EGRE Torch Managing Editor During the first two weeks of November, the Student/Parent Advisory Board received applications for an ASLCC Child Care Co-op Coordinator to serve as executive secretary and to administer the center. According to LCC Student Activities Director Barbara Delansky, the Board received 11 applications and is preparing to screen each applicant through an interviewing process. "We plan to make an offer to one of the applicants within a week or two to keep this program alive," says Delansky. New additions to the LCC Child Care Program in November promise to bring improvements to the overall program, she says. A nine-person Student/Parent Advisory Board has served as an ad-hoc advisory committee since early summer 1991, and is formulating policies and procedures to develop the program.

Meltdown on slopes forces temporary closures by JOE HARWOOD Torch Editor Blue sky, 26 inches of new snow,lateOctober, and no wind or crowds-that was the way to start the 1991-92 ski season. Mt. Bachelor, Oregon's most popular ski area, opened on Oct. 29, the second-earliest start-up in the resort's history. Those able to ski the first three or four days found a rare treat of sunshine and more than adequate snow coverage, considering the date. The fact that only five lifts were operating did little to dampen the enthusiasm prevalent in the downhill f anatics allowed to ski before Thanksgiving. Although the detachable-quad Outback and Summit Express lifts remained closed throughout the week, the simple act of skiing on anything, even hidden rocks and other death-cookies, seemed to be enough. Most people skiing this early are usually the same individuals wearing ski boots around the house in September. But when two expected cold-fronts failed to appear, warm weather coupled with rain forced Bachelor into a sudden closure. All the ski areas in Oregon lost nearly all of their accumulated snow between Nov. 3 and Nov. 11. The recent cooling temperatures have lowered the freezing level statewide to the 3000-foot level. Many areas reported on Nov. 14 a new accumulation of four inches over the last 48 hours. • Timberline Ski area, the only other resort in the state to open, started on Nov. 2, but closed Nov. 3 because of heavy rain. No date has been set to re-open. Lift prices this year are $21 for adults and $13 for children. Timberline is located about an hour east of Portland on Mt. Hood. Other ski areas on Mt. Hood had accumulated almost two feet of snow, only to lose it to the rain that started on Nov. 3. • "We had it and then lost it all," says a Mt. Hood Ski Bowl employee. The area is scheduled to open on Nov. 23 unless it receives a significant amount of snow prior to that date. Lift tickets start at $19 for all-day adult and $13 for kids. An 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. or 1-l0p.m. shift pass for $19, $13 for children, is also available. Night skiing will cost $9 this season. • Ski Ashland, after a dismal season last year, projects a Nov. 20 opening date, but like other areas in the state, any opening depends on snow conditions. Located 18 miles southeast of Ashland, Or., ticket prices this year are $22 for adults on weekends and holidays, $18 for kids. Mid-week price for both adults and children is $14. • Willamette Pass, 70 miles east of Eugene on Highway 58, had accumulated "a significant amount of snow" prior to the unfortunate warm weather, then lost . it all. The area offers three lifts and hopes to open in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. Lift tickets cost $18 allday adult, $14 for kids 12 and under. Willamette also offers a 12:30-9 p.m. ticket for $18 and a 4-9 p.m. pass for $10. Mt. Bachelor gives skiers a retail taste this season with its new turnstile computer-verification lift-loading system. Widely adopted in Europe, the skier wears a plastic lift-ticket that he/she feeds into an ATM-like slot. The computer then verifies the ticket and spits it back out. The skier can then proceed through the turnstile. The concept will take some getting used to, possibly slowing lift lines until people are comfortable with it. Bachelor is also offering flexibility this year with a point-system pass. In short, it will sell tickets in increments of 200 and 400 points, for $33 and $65, respectively. Each ride up the lift deducts a certain amount off the point total. For instance, the quad chairs take 20 points per ride. The other triple chairs take 16 per ride. The ticket is transferrable and can be used over a period of days or weeks, so long as the the point balance is high enough. The system isn't recommended for intermediate and advanced skiers who ride the lift more than 12-20 times per day. The all-day adult pass costs $31. The area is on a day-by-day standby to re-open, with no firm date having yet been set. Bachelor is located 22 miles south. west of Bend off Highway 97. the ASLCC ·c ampus Calendar Friday November 15th: *Alcoholics Anonymous 12-12:50 pm M&A 244 - Monday November 18th: 11 *PTK pizza party for installations in PE 206 @ 2:30 pm Shootin' Titans" relate to community kids by TONY SEMINARY Torch Sports Writer The Titans men's basketball team will hold its last basketball clinic for boys and girls ages 8-15 Saturday, Nov. 16 at the LCC Health and Physical Education Department basketball courts.

Page 8 The LCCTitans' Women's Basketball Team and Head Coach Dave Loops are anxiously awaiting the '91-'92 pre-season opener on Nov. 22. Loops says he has high expectations for his team this year, his sixth as head coach at LCC. "This team has the potential to be one of the strongest I've ever coached," says Loops. "We are primarily a 'fast break' team. We're very high octane." This season, Loops will be leaning on sophomores Maryanne Graham, Nicole Bignotti, and November 15, 1991 The Torch Katy Carter as his key players. "We have the key players, but the freshman will provide much of the depth. Our team is pretty balanced between the classes," says Loops. According to Loops, freshman Summer Milburn will play a vital role on the Titan team. "As of right now, Summer will be our starting point guard," Loops says. Milburn comes from Boulder City, Nevada, where she was an All-State basketball and volleyball player. Loops says that Umpqua, Chemeketa, and LinnBenton Community Colleges will be tough as always. "But with our 'high octane' style of running and pressure defense, I expect us to be right in the thick of things."

OSPIRG wages hunger and homelessness war by TRACY BROOKS Torch Associate Editor It's Hunger and Homelessness Week at LCC. Over 60,000 people worldwide will die each day this week and every week of hunger and related diseases, claims Oxfam America, a non-profit international agency that funds self-help development and disaster relief around the world. Of these, 40,000 are children under the age of five. So what can people in Lane County do about it? OSPIRG will seek to address the problem with the Hunger and Homelessness Week, Tuesday, Nov.12 through Monday, Nov. 18, and the Oxfam America fast, Thursday, Nov. 21. "Every group can contribute to Hunger and Homelessness week," says Steve Haddad, Midwest and West Coast coordinator for the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness. "Everyone should get involved." Haddad visited the LCC campus last week to assist student OSPIRG members in preparing for the Oxfam Hunger Fast, Thursday, Nov. 21. Students generally have concerns, but aren't equipped to help with a problem, he says. He assists them in translating these concerns into effective action. This includes raising awareness, media planning, and forming concrete ideas on how to tackle an issue. The goal of Hunger and Homelessness Week, he says, is to educate and involve as many people and departments on campus as possible. As part of Hunger and Homelessness Week at LCC, Springfield Mayor Bill Morrisette will speak out against hunger Monday, Nov. 18 at 11 a.m. in Administration 216. OSPIRG members will be manning a table on campus Monday, Nov. 18 through Wednesday, Nov. 20, to incorporate students in the fast, which means giving up eating or a meal on Nov. 21 and donating the money that would have been spent on food to Oxfam America. According to Dalene Lovie, campus organizer for 0SPIRG, half of the money goes to Oxfam America to fight hunger on a world-wide basis, while half goes to Food for Lane County, fighting hunger closer to home. People participating in the fast are invited to attend a banquet that night at the Newman Catholic Center, which will include a simple meal of beans and rice, says Lovie. Speakers will address the fasters, also. The banquet will help "bring together" participants, says Lovie, and bring more meaning to the event. "You don't have to be a martyr," says Haddad, to help, or work 40 hours per week. Involving oneself in events like the Hunger Fast are effective ways to help with the hunger problem, he says. Students interested in helping fight hunger should contact OSPIRG, in the basement of the Center building.

Next term Anderson says if enough people show an interest in ballroom dance they can start a club like they have at the U of 0. "Ballroom dance is a fun, social activity," Anderson says. "Couples don't dance together anymore, the ballroom can put the sense of romance back into dancing. There is a new craving for elegance, to add gentility back into the world." Student Brenda Massey says, "Some days I come to class depressed, but leave feeling happy. We have a lot of fun learning the different dances." Anderson offers something for everyone by using varied music and teaching a wide range of dances. A Holiday Ball scheduled for Dec. 6 through the Intermurals Department will offer an opportunity for people to get dressed up and come dance, even if they don't know the dances, according to Anderson. "There will be people at the ball who are more than happy to show others some of the steps," Anderson says. "It's not a competition, so a lot of learning can go on in a friendly atmosphere." Shirley Newell, a part-time employee in the Admissions Office, has taken the class three times. She says each time she learns something new, the class also offers great exercise. Anderson agrees. Some of the dances can get the hean rate up. Dancing the Cha Cha or Swing for around three hours is equal to an aerobic workout.
